2017-2018学年下学期高三（18届）英语学科第一次月考试卷
第一部份：阅读明白得（共两节，总分值40分）
第一节（共15小题：每题2分，总分值30分）阅读以下短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）当选出最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Want a journey that is really more interesting than the destination? Then you might want to fly to one of these airports.
The runway where planes have been known to drop off a cliff
Taking off at the Matekane airstrip(飞机跑道) in Lesotho, South Africa, is a frightening experience, as the plane soars over an about 600-meter cliff face after taking off.
Matekane’s runway sits 2286 metres up on a mountain gully(沟渠)，so it takes nerves of steel to both land and take off. If a plane doesn’t manage to pick up enough speed on the 400 metre-long airstrip, it falls off the cliff before it takes flight.
The ice runway
Have you ever imagined if the runway were made of ice!
That’s a reality for anyone flying into Doris Lake Aerodrome—a privately owned
ice runway located on Doris Lake in Nunavut, Canada. The small airport is open from January to April and it mainly operates for gold mining.
The failed runway
The French tried to build a concrete airstrip at their Dumont D’Urville research station in the Antarctic more than two decades ago.
But they failed when the area was badly damaged by a storm, just months before its completion.
Work was stopped because attempts to rebuild the airstrip would have negatively affected local wildlife, but small aircraft still use the long snow-free area to land.
The inner—city water airstrip
Vancouver’s seaplane terminal in Canada is home to the world’s largest all-seaplane airline.
Flying down at high speed and then landing on water is exciting enough for most passengers, but what really makes this particular port so special is its location. It’s located in the middle of downt own Vancouver, among the city’s tallest skyscrapers.
1.What is special about the Matekane airstrip?
A.It is constructed on ice.
B.It is open for one month every April.
C.It was built for scientific research.
D.It is on the edge of a cliff.
2.Where is the inner-city water airstrip located?
A. In Canada.
B. In France.
C. In South Africa.
D. In the Antarctic.
3. Due to the environmental protection factor, _________was never completed.
A. the runway on Doris Lake.
B. the runway at the Dumont D’Urville research s tation.
C. the airstrip in the middle of downtown Vancouver.
D. the Matekane airstrip in Lesotho.
B
In my Australian backyard live many wild magpies(喜鹊) who are 100% free to come and go as they please. Despite the amazing bonds I have formed with them, none of them have been hand-raised by me; their real parents have brought them up in the wild.
I believe I have one of the most entertaining backyards in Australia. I posted a lot of interesting videos on the Internet. Some of you may be familiar with the videos of the magpie hanging upside down off a towel, with a concerned onlooker
standing beside him wondering what his friend is doing.
Battling severe social anxiety most of my life, I don’t often get out of my house much due to this. I prefer to keep to myself and spend time with birds rather than people. I don’t go out to parties or social events; in fact, I avoid all human interaction if possible! Even walking to the letterbox some days can be a nightmare, for fear of the chance that I may come across some strangers and have to speak to them. But I have found a positive way out of my situation. I am lucky enough to spend most of my time with the magpies in my backyard, and in return, I am able to form special relationships with every one of them. The magpies have been my best friends and light at the end of the tunnel.
When I look into the eyes of magpies I see beautiful souls and intelligent beings that have individual personalities and feelings, just like we do. Each one is unique and special; they have as much right to live on this earth as we do.
I could not imagine my life without them; they are my feathered family. They have taught me a lot about their magpie world, which I am fortunate enough to be a part of.

C
Childhood bullying(霸凌) has long been considered to have a cruel and unnecessary eff ect on too many youngsters’ childhoods. But the consequences of it can be felt into adulthood when it comes to mental health, a new study has found.
Persistent bullying when young is also linked to relationships breaking down and
low employment, they said.
Scientists have discovered it has a strong link to mental health service use throughout a person’s life. The study, by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and King’s College London, tracked more than 9000 people for about 40 years.
It found more boys than girls used mental health services in childhood and adolescence. On the contrary, more women than men were found to use it in adulthood.
Lead researcher Dr Sara Evans-Lacko said the impact of childhood bullying was most notable at an early age. But the associate professor from LSE’s personal social services research unit said it could still be significant at 50.
“Individuals who were frequently bullied during childhood were more than twice as likely to use mental health services during childhood or adolescence,” she said. “Even at the age of 50, they were still 30 percent more likely to use mental health services compared to those who were not bullied. Half the adult population with a psychotic(神经病的) disorder already showed signs of poor mental health by the age of 15.”
If unnoticed or untreated, the early onset(发病) of mental health problems could be the starting point of persistent disorders like depression and anxiety, self-harm and psychotic disorders, she said.
Early intervention to prevent childhood bullying would both help to stop distress and save money in healthcare over the course of a person’s life.
Dr Sara Evans-Lacko said: “Anti-bullying initiatives(举措) are relatively inexpensive, estimated at ￡15.50 per pupil per year. Given the current tremendous stress on the health system, policies and practices to prevent bulling should be a high priority.”
8. According to Dr Evans-Lacko, _______________.
A. childhood bullying has crueller effects on women than men.
B. childhood bul lying’s effects can only be felt in adulthood when it comes to mental health.
C. the mental health services are too expensive for ordinary people.
D. people should pay more attention to anti-bullying measures.
9. What does the underlined word “notable” mea n?
A. important
B. lasting
C. obvious
D. immediate
10. People tend to use the mental health services when_____________.
A. they are bullied more than twice in their childhood.
B. they are bullied frequently during childhood.
C. they have reached the age of 50 without being bullied.
D. they are 15 with poor mental health.
11. Where does the text most probably come from?
A.Reader’s Digest.
B. Psychological Medicine.
C. The times.
D. National Geographic.
D
Two men successfully rescued a beached shark on the coast of northeast Newfoundland, Canada. Derrick Chaulk was driving in Norris Arm North when he saw what he thought was a beached whale.
As reported by CBC News, when he left his vehicle and got closer, he saw that it was a Greenland shark that was still alive and estimated it measured approximately eight feet and weighed 253 pounds. Greenland sharks are rare in that area but what also seemed unusual was that the animal had a large moose hide(驼鹿皮) sticking out of its mouth. About the hide, Derrick told CBC, “It had the fur on it and it was about two feet long, maybe.”
Jeremy Ball had approached the beach at that point and the two local men worked together on the rescue effort. They pulled the moose hide. With that threat to the shark removed, the men tied a rope around the shark’s tail and Jeremy pulled while Derrick pushed the animal until it was in deeper water. After lying in about a foot of water, the shark’s gills(鳃)began moving and Derrick explained, “All of a sudden, the water started coming out of his gills and he started breathing.
Derrick said that hunters clean and gut(掏出内脏)moose on the banks of the harbor and throw the scraps(碎片) into water, which is probably how the shark encountered the moose hide. However, Greenland sharks are scavengers(食腐动物)，and while they usually feed on fish, several have been found with the remains of large animals like seals, polar bears, horses, moose and reindeer. Amazingly, one Greenland shark was found to have eaten an entire reindeer, including its antlers(鹿角).
The Norris Arm North shark stayed in the shallow water for 30 minutes and ___________. Derrick proudly said, “It was a good feeling to see that shark swim out, knowing that you had saved his life.
12. What do we know about the Greenland shark that the two men found?
A. It lived on the coast of northeast Newfoundland, Canada.
B. It was about eight meters long and weighed 253 pounds.
C. It had a piece of moose hide in its mouth.
D. It stayed on the beach for thirty minutes and its gills began moving.
13. According to the third paragraph, Jeremy Ball and Derrick Chaulk ____________.
A. approached the beach together by driving.
B. pulled the moose hide and the shark started breathing instantly.
C. tied a rope to the shark’s tail after the threat had been removed.
D. pushed the shark into deep water..
14. Why was there a large piece of moose hide sticking out of the shark’s mouth?
A. The shark had been hunting for moose to eat.
B. The shark ate the moose hide thrown away by hunters by accident.
C. The hunters took out the guts of the moose and fed the shark with moose hide.
D. The hunters used the moose hide to hunt sharks.
15. Which of the following sentences can be put into the blank in the last paragraph?
A. eventually made its way out to sea.
B. was rescued by the local people.
C. then lay in the deep water.
D. attracted lots of people to watch.

书面表达：
Dear Tom,
Glad to hear from you. Is everything going well for you? You were interested in how I spend my spare time. Here is my answer.
Sports are always at the top of my list whenever I’m free. Baseball is my favorite, although I have only been playing it since last semester. Reading extra-curricular
books also plays an essential role when I take time off from study. Of course, some time is also reserved for computer games. As for long vacations, I prefer to take a journey to relax. Sports help to build my body, while computer games relax my mind. Reading offers me an insight into the world, while travelling gives me a chance to experience it. That’s why I organize my free time in this way.
What about you? I look forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua。
