2023届江西省新高三第一次摸底考试7月联考英语试题(含答案)

2023届江西省新高三第一次摸底考试7月联考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________ 一、阅读理解From grand museum openings to music, art and theatre, these are the coolest new things happening anywhere this year.Look around an odd star's living roomParis, FranceThis townhouse, where the controversial French singer Serge Gainsbourg spent the last 20 years of his life, has been completely closed off to the public since Gainsbourg's death in 1991, but next spring it'll finally open as a museum. The main attraction will be Serge's famously odd living area, with its huge collection of sculptures.Get lost in the world of Hans Christian AndersenOdense, DenmarkJust 90 minutes by train from Copenhagen, Odense is best known as the birthplace of Christian Andersen, and it's now home to the new HCA Museum. With its biographical exhibits and inanimate projects that come alive, this thoroughly fun museum would have delighted the “Little Mermaid” and “Snow Queen” author himself.Check out King Tut's enormous new padGiza, EgyptWhen it finally opens in November 2022, the Grand Egypt Museum will be the biggest museum in the world for a single civilization. Costing $1 billion, this museum will be about the size of the Louvre in Paris. Most importantly, this will be the first time that all 5,000 pieces of King Tut's treasure will be displayed in the same place.Discover a cultural jewel at the heart of EuropeNovi Sad, SerbiaSerbia's second-largest city will wear the crown of European Capital of Culture for the year. Ever fancied checking out of an exhibition in an abandoned pasta factory? The Mlin Cultural Station awaits. Novi Sad's unique architecture and history have long made it a major destination.1、Which place can you go to take a dip into literature?A. Paris in France.B. Giza in Egypt.C. Odense in Denmark.D. Novi Sad in Serbia.2、What is special about the Grand Egypt Museum?A. It will be the biggest museum worldwide.B. It will be bigger than the Louvre in France.C. It will be open again since its close in 1991.D. It will exhibit 5,000 pieces of King Tut's wealth.3、Which has its checkout at an abandoned factory?A. The Mlin Cultural Station.B. The HCA Museum.C. The Grand Egypt Museum.D. Serge Gainsbourg's Museum.My hands were shaking uncontrollably. I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper. I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember.Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true —this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives.So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort.Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.4、Which of the following can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Para. 1?A. Advantage.B. Annoyance.C. Preference.D. Confusion.5、How did the author behave about public speaking after leaving Toastmasters?A. He began to feel less worried.B. He became a polished speaker.C. He remained a shy speaker.D. Things became worse for him.6、What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day?A. It was a good chance to learn science.B. He must rise up to defend his profession.C. It was a project organized by Toastmasters.D. He couldn’t have people attacking science.7、What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech?A. Passion can motive us to achieve the unachievable.B. Any difficulty can be overcome with great effort.C. Science can lead us to make wonderful changes.D. Frustration can be stepping stones to success.Biological age might help determine your quality of life as you get older, since your cells and organs have ages varying from your regular age. Many aging-research scientists believe that knowing your biological age could help you postpone or avoid age-related illnesses, and better predict an individual’s lifespan (寿命). Other scientists argue that there’s no standard way to measure biological age. At the center of the debate are hopes that people can extend their lives by changing their behaviors.Since everybody’s genes (基因) are different, tracking your biological age could help determine your most helpful habits and customize them. People also can attempt to lower their biological age through ways of effectively managing stress.Dr. Sinclair at Harvard is developing a biological-age test based on chemical changes on DNA. He plans to launch it with a new company called Tally Health. Though criticized by other scientists for hyping the results of some of his findings for his business, he says that he doesn’t overstate his research findings.Inside Tracker, a personalized-nutrition company founded by scientists, calculates biological age by having users take blood tests and analyzing the samples for marks of diseases. Those who test as older than their years get recommendations to adjust diet, exercise and medicine.Many other health startups are offering testing that claims to calculate biological age, sometimes with little scientific backing, and designing medicine aimed at boosting youthfulness.Stephen Robert tested himself earlier this year with an at-home blood test as an effort to improve his health at age 51. “I drink and smoke,” he says, so he expected his biological age to be a lot older than his calendar age. He says he was shocked when test results reported hisbiological age was 24.Gordan Lauc, professor of biochemistry and chief scientific officer of GlycanAge, says the results make sense given Mr. Robert’s genetics —longevity runs in his family and lifestyle, which is likely less stressful.8、What can people do after knowing their biological ages?A. Improve their calendar ages to prevent diseases.B. Determine ways to effectively manage stress.C. Get personalized-nutrition plan to improve health.D. Lengthen their lives by changing their conduct.9、Why did some scientists criticize Dr. Sinclair?A. He overstated his findings to make a profit.B. His scientific research was far from mature.C. His company let out people’s biological age.D. Biological-age test did harm to people’s health.10、What accounts for Stephen’s young biological age according to Gordan?A. He manages stress in life successfully.B. He had good nutrition at his childhood.C. His family has a long-life tradition.D. He has improved his biological life.11、Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A. Understand Your Calendar Life and Stay HealthyB. Meet Your Biological Age and Extend Your LifeC. Improve Your Biological Age with Good HabitsD. Employ Biological Technology to Start BusinessDiscussions about the impact of false news often center on our preference of confirmation: we tend to believe and share things that fit with our prior beliefs. A new study finds that we're poor judges of truthfulness even when we can't trust a particular source —and we overestimate our powers of judgment.In three experiments, the researchers asked participants to record two short videos, one to describe a real-life news event and one to make up an event. They were told they would get a reward if viewers thought that the events described in either video were true. Viewers, for their part, were paid both for accuracy and for correctly estimating their accuracy.Across all the experiments, view ers’ ability to distinguish lies from truth stayed at or justabove 50%, just like flipping (抛) a coin to decide. They believed false videos and doubted true ones. More than 65% of men and 61% of women thought they'd performed better than they actually had.In one of the experiments, the researchers explored whether certain behaviors exhibited in the videos were associated with lying. This pointed to several clues, and analysis suggested that viewers noticed the clues, but they tended to interpret them in the wrong direction. For example, they judged wordier videos to be true.In the final experiment, some viewers were shown eight videos, including one shared by a previous viewer because he or she found it to be interesting and believable. They selected one of the eight to watch and assess for truthfulness. Knowing that a video had been shared greatly increased the chances that participants would choose it to watch, and they believed what the previous viewer had thought to be true.

This award is not only a recognition of my efforts, but also a testament to the hard work and dedication of my teammates and the guidance of our teachers.The process of preparing for the competition has been a rewarding experience that has allowed me to grow into a fluent English speaker as well as a creative thinker. This award belongs to everyone who has supported me all the way. Without their belief in me, I would not be where I am today.I will continue to strive to improve my English skills and share my love for the language with others. Thank you all for being a part of my journey.写作第二节One possible version:“Look, Mom, I found it.” Tristan was holding a tag, grinning from ear to ear. “Found what, honey?” I asked. “This boy wants the same thing I want for Christmas—a CD player.” Tristan replied, his eyes twinkling with excitement. Looking at his innocent face, I felt a lump in my throat. I bent down and explained that we couldn’t follow the Angel Tree tradition this year. To my astonishment, Tristan looked me straight in the eye and said with determination, “Mom, I don't need anything. Can we just buy a CD player for this kid?” A sudden surge of pride overwhelmed me on hearing his words. Through teary eyes, I helped him pick out a CD player and mailed it right away.However, Tristan still ended up with the CD player he desired that year.On Christmas morning, opening the front door, we spotted a mysterious gift awaiting us there — a CD player. Attached to it was a note that read, “What we give, we will truly receive.” With the unexpected gift in his hands, Tristan’s eyes filled with tears of gratitude, but he simply smiled warmly and said nothing. Now, at twenty-three, Tristan still holds onto the memory of that Christmas as one of the best ever. It’s a reminder that the spirit of giving and kindness can bring joy and fulfillment not only to others but also to ourselves.听力原文Text 1M: Excuse me, my ticket says this train departs at 2:30 p.m. from platform 10.

(5)Text 6M: When we were in senior high school, we always went to the cinema during summer holidays after earning money by ourselves. (6)But now, while in university, we seldom watch films.W: Yes, and I really miss those days!M: I know, why don’t we start a film club? We can get together with friends monthly here to watch our favorite movies. (6)W: All right. But how about skipping modern comedies and action films? Let’s mainly go for my favorite mystery movies instead. (7)M: OK, that’s my favorite kind of film too!(7)Buying plenty of snack sand enjoying some mystery films will be awesome.Text 7M: Hey, Sarah! I heard you’re the organizer of a charity event. (8)How’s everything going?W: Yes, Mark! (8)It’s been quite a journey so far.

Is there anything I can do to help?W: Absolutely! I find it hard to get volunteers. You can help with organizing the activities. (10)M: OK. I’ll definitely be there to do you a favor. (10)Text 8W: Jason, is everything OK? You look like you’ve had a stressful day. (11)M: Yes, this end-of-year season at work is so intense. I’m occupied with so many work requirements to meet urgently. (11)W: Calm down, honey. Just think about this — next month, we’ll be on vacation, swimming or even sailing in the ocean.(12)M: You’re right. We do need a break. But we always go on vacation by the coast.(12)Let’s try something different this holiday!W: Something different? Like what?M: How about getting out of the city and exploring the mountains? We could go hiking, or even skiing!W: That sounds so wild! But none of us have learned skiing before. (13)M: Don’t worry. We can take lessons together — it’ll be unforgettable. (13)W: I’m sure. As you mention it, I can’t help imagining our wonderful vacation now! M: OK. And I will try my best to finish my work perfectly.Text 9M: We’ve been going back home through this park every day.

We can start a campaign to protect the environment.M: I agree. First, we’ll gather our friends and classmates. (15) Then, we’ll ask the school or our community for support.W: How about organizing a big trash clean-up event? We could invite many other volunteers to join too.M: Great idea. After the clean-up, we can have a party. What matters is that our primary aim should be raising people’s awareness about protecting the environment. (16)W: Sure. After getting some attention and support, we’ll set up a local environmental group to work with the local government.M: I’m sure we can make a difference and inspire others. I intend to gather everyone for our first meeting this Saturday. (17) Then, we’ll start by the end of next week!Text 10 (第18题为推断题)Good morning, everyone. As you know, I recently had an incredible opportunityto travel to China. My initial goal was to learn to speak Chinese. But when I was there, I discovered something truly wonderful: Chinese ink painting. Before I begin my presentation and show photos from my trip, I’d like to share a brief background story. On my first day in Beijing, I met a wonderful family who operated a small painting gallery. Firstly, I visited the gallery and they introduced me to the Chinese ink painting. Then, they brought me to the National Art Museum and some art collectors’ homes. The landscapes, brushwork style, and history behind each painting made a deep impression on me. But what impressed me most was this art tradition’s global influence. (19)I really want to show you one of my favorite pieces — a painting of tigers. For me, each Chinese ink painting has a unique and profound theme.So, let’s look at a few more historical works of art and try to analyze their internal meanings. (20)And next, we’ll share our own ideas one by one. Here we go!。

The evidence, a napkin resting on top of the sandwiches packed in wax paper, was certain “Love you!” she had written on the napkin. “ Meat loaf for supper!”Mom penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins, and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has become a precious memory of my parents.It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kids were young, I’d glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches(素描) of our dog, Max, along with smiling flowers. When they were teenagers, I’d copy words of wisdom from great people, Einstein, for example, or Bruce Springsteen. Then, my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writes me love note s on recycled paper, because he’s all about being green.Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share stories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. Maura’s mom always drew hearts on the shells of hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids’ bananas.We’re into the third generation of lunch box notes in our home. Whenever my 3-year-old grandson, Clayton, spends the night, he knows his lunch is going to have a napkin note from Grandma in the morning. Last week, I drew a picture of me, waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “ Where’s Grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “ You forgot his tie,” he said. I quickly drew a line of stripes(条纹) down the front of the shirt. Claytonsmiled. “Grandpa,” he whispered, running his fingers across the napkin. “It’s you!”21.

Jim Yong Kim told a Washington audience Tuesday, he wants to make ending world poverty by 2030 a top goal for the bank and governments around theworld.World Bank President Jim Yong Kim says that the problems of poverty, hunger and inequality are wide, urgent and a matter of survival of millions.“We know that despi te the great successes of the last decade, there are stil l about 1.3 billion people living in extreme poverty, 870 million who go hungry every day, and 6.9 million children under five dying every year,” he said.But Kim told a Washington audience that the previous successful efforts to cut the number of people living in extreme poverty by half give them hope.“We are at an auspicious moment in history, when the successes of past decades and an increasingly favorable economic outlook combine to give developing countries a chance-for the first time ever-to end extreme poverty within a generation,” he said in a speech at Georgetown University. “Our duty now mu st be to ensure that these favorable ci rcumstances are matched with deliberate decisions to realize this historic opportunity.”Kim says success will require increasing the speed of economic growth, particularly in South Africa and South Asia.But he warned that civil unrest could happen if economic growth does not help people at all income levels, and also include women and youth.Kim says that the World Bank and other development agencies will have more resources to get this job done right. “Meeting this 2030 goal will take extraordinary effort,” he said.However, Kim warned that all the progress in fighting poverty could be destroyed by climate disasters unless the nations of the world do more to prevent climate change.28.In the opinion of Jim Yong Kim, world poverty _____.A. is not quite hard to end by 2030B. exists only in Africa and AsiaC. is difficult but hopeful to end by 2030D. will be sure to disappear by 203029.Which of the following gives Jim Yong Kim the hope to end world poverty?A.

In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he feats silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox (喋喋不休的人). He knows thatninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure (蜡塑人像).The aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito (蚊子). But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conversationists .32.

What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? ________.A. To discuss why people like talking about weather.B. To encourage people to join in conversations.C. To explain why people keep talking.D. To persuade people to stop making noises.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。
