宁夏银川一中2019届高三第一次月考英语试题一、阅读理解(★★)（题文）（题文）“I’ve always loved food,” says Cassie Dawson in the kitchen of her flat inLondon. “But I’ve become bored with eating out. I’ve had too many disappointing meals and paid too much money for them! At one point, fed up with my complaint, a friend suggested I open my own restaurant. Impossible, I thought. But then I heard about supper clubs...”Supper clubs are a mixture of a restaurant and a dinner party —you go to a stranger’s house andhe/she cooks dinner for you. Like a restaurant, you pay for your food, but like a dinner party, you eat at the same table as other people.Theyare advertised through social-networking sites with a menu and little information about where the supper club is until just before the meal.“It’s like running a secret restaurant for one night,” says Cassie. “The next morning, I set the tables and chairs aside. I put the TV back and it’s my living room again.”Cassie opens her “restaurant” for people about once a month, and she really enjoys the evenings she’s had so far. She uses fresh, local ingredients and a typical meal costs about the same as a takeaway —much less than a restaurant meal. So how does she make money out of it?“I don’t,” says Cassie. “In fact, at first I was worried about losing money on my club. I’m good at cooking but my maths is terrible! But I was surprised by how cheaply I could make a good meal. This isn’t about money. It’s about a different eating experience.”And what about inviting complete strangers into her house? Was Cassie ever nervous about that? “Not at all,” she says. “Almost everyone at the supper club is just interested in having a good meal with other interesting people.”1 . （小题1）（小题1）Why did Cassie decide to open her own restaurant finally?A．To earn a living.B．To cook cheap and good meals for others.C．To make friends with strangers.D．To satisfy her friend’s needs.2 . （小题2）（小题2）What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Dinner parties.B．Fresh ingredients.C．Supper clubs.D．Invitations to dinner.3 . （小题3）（小题3）We can know that Cassie’s restaurant ________. A．is only open in the eveningB．serves meals for freeC．only serves takeawaysD．is only open to her friends4 . （小题4）（小题4）How does Cassie feel about her restaurant now?A．Worried.B．Annoyed.C．Content.D．Sensitive.(★) Welcome to the British Museum, the grandest and the most spectacular of human history. The admission is free and we open every day from 10:00 to 15:30. You can explore 10 departments including:The Department of Africa, Oceania and the AmericasThe collection of the Department of Africa, Oceania and the Americasincludes around 350,000 objects. The scope of the collection is contemporary, and historical.It includes most of Africa, the Pacific and Australia,as well as the Americas. All of the collections were got during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and date from this time.The Department of AsiaThe Department of Asia covers the material and visual cultures of Asia – a vast geographical area of Japan, Korea, China, Central Asia, Afghanistan, South Asia and South-East Asia. The collection dates from about 4000 BC, to the present day. It representsthe cultures and ways oflife of local people and other minority groups.The Department of Greek and Roman EmpiresThe Department of Greek and Roman Empires features antiquities (古董). It has one of the most comprehensive collections of antiquities from the Classical world, with over 100,000 objects. These mostly range in date from the beginning of the Greek Bronze Age (about 3200BC) to the time of the Roman emperor Constantine in the fourth century AD.5 .

The Department of Asia represents ______.A．the geographic features of AsiaB．the life styles and cultural traditions of some peoplesC．the relationships between Asian countriesD．the cultural fights between some native groups(★★) In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge (排放) your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy.One popular option is hot-stone massage (按摩). Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is alsobel ieved to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around45oC. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.8 . What do people use to release toxins in our body according to the text?A．Washing the body with cold water.B．Discharging lots of sweat.C．Relaxing musclesD．Lying on the warm beds.9 . What can we know from the text?A．Sports have greater effects on the health than hot-stone massage.B．There are no toxins and humidity in the body in summer.C．Using water of about 45o C to wash the body is good for the health.D．People should take advantage of summer to improve their health.10 . What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy?A．It was invented by Mary Nelson, an American.B．It successfully cured many people of cancer.C．It is popular with people with its excellent effects.D．It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer.11 . Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A．The origin and development of the hot-stone therapyB．The amazing functions of the hot-stone therapyC．A healthy and comfortable lifestyleD．How to live comfortably in summer(★★)Pollution’s disastrous effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years, leading to a movement to promote energy efficiency, less reliance on fossil fuels and a reduction in air and water pollution. Most scientists agree that such changes are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.The construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. In the United States, building and development account for 39 percent of the country’s total energy use, 12 percent of total water consumption, 68 percent of total electricity consumption and 38 percent of carbon dioxide emissions, according to the Environment Protection Agency.Green buildings use less energy, water, create less waste and are healthier to live, work and go to school in than standard buildings. Builders of green buildings use techniques that use resources more efficiently during the entire building cycle — construction, restoration, operation, maintenance (维护) and demolition (拆毁) — than those who construct more regular buildings.The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity, improved air and water quality, less waste flowing into streams and the conservation of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality, improving the health of people who live there.The process of building green includes technical and artistic planning with nature conservation in mind. Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw. In addition, recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings, reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.Careful site selection is important to minimize (最小化) human impact on the surrounding environment. For example, placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of coolbreezes (微风) and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses. More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings aswell, so it is important to build small.Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost. These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants, which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low, prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.Other features of green buildings often include energy and water conservation, recycling and waste reduction. In addition, renewable energy sources such as solar power, hydropower (水能) and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the impact on the environment.12 . What is the text mainly about?A．The necessity of promoting energy efficiency.B．The process of building green buildings.C．Green buildings’ effects on the environmentD．The benefits and features of green buildings.13 . According to the text, green buildings refer to the buildings that .A．use energy and resources more efficiently B．only use clean energyC．are made of recycled materials D．produce no waste14 . Which of the following statements is TRUE about green buildings?A．They rely on fossil fuels and solar power for heat and electricity.B．Small buildings are less efficient in energy use than larger ones.C．The ecosystem has to be considered when building a green building.D．They are difficult to maintain and thus need more operating costs.15 . Green roofs are used because .A．they fit the surrounding environment wellB．they can help to control the temperature in the building wellC．they can keep natural water for use in everyday lifeD．they are cheaper than other kinds of roofs二、七选五(★★) Most students have experienced or suffered from procrastination(拖延症). Here are some tipsto help you reduce procrastination.Set goalsStudents often procrastinate because they think that they can put off the work for a while and enjoy their time at the moment. 16 . , when the deadline becomes one day away and the essay has yet to be started. In order to stay on track, you should constantly set and update goals. It can be beneficial to mark all deadlines in a planner and think about how much time you need to meet them all. Update your plan for the upcoming two weeks so that you do not get overwhelmed(压倒), and continue to update as other assignments and events arise. Additionally, make a daily schedule in order to reach necessary goals before going to bed.Reward yourselfIt can become extremely difficult to work for hours straight in order to finish schoolwork. In order to keep productivity, set breaks at the end of a period of time or once you finish a section of your work so that you can reward yourself with some deserved, scheduled, and controlled procrastination-like activities. 17 . . Breaks like these are proven to increase productivity and keep you focused, and they will make the process of studying much more bearable!Remind yourself of what you’re doingSometimes you may begin to think that what you are working on has little to do with what you ultimately want to do. You may consider some work or a class pointless and not useful to your further studies. However, when these thoughts arise, remind yourself what the ultimate goal of your schooling is. Remind yourself why you wanted to go to school and take this program in the first place.18 . .Turn off the Internet19 . If you do not need the Internet to do your work, turn it off so that you are not receiving notifications while completing your work, and you are not so tempted to search for sites. The same goes for your cell phone; you can take a break from being connected to the cyber world in order to do your schoolwork. If you feel the need to check messages and websites often, set time when you will allow yourself to do so rather than constantly staying connected.20 .Being productive for all hours of every day does not work—you do need breaks, and as a student you are entitled to have a lot of fun. So, in order to balance productivity and amusement, plan time to go out with friends or do something relaxing. But ideally, social and relaxations plans should be made after a significant portion of work is complete. This way, while you are working, you can keep in mind that once you have finished your work you can go out and not worry about your assignments.A．Have something to look forward to.B．Enjoy every minute in school.C．You may have coffee with a friend, cook, or watch a television showD．This thought tends to make things worse, thoughE. The Internet has become an essential part of our daily lifeF. You may understand why you should focus on completing your workG. Some of the most common distractions are those found on the Internet三、完形填空(★★) I still remember an old lady, a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was 12 years old.

We received a text from our son-in-law, Joe Levanti, that Melanie was about to give birth. Tom and I sprang from our chairs suddenly. It’s a tradition in our immediate family to wait at the hospital for a birth. This would be Melanie and Joe’s first child.“You take Lizzy out before we leave, and I’ll be waiting for you in the car!” I told Tom. I started the car and waited impatiently. I saw my husband walk out of the front door- but then out shot Lizzy and she was running down the street at great speed.My husband ran after the dog, and I followed in my car. “Lizzy! Lizzy!” we shouted as fear filled our heart. We chased her up and down our Bel lwood Avenue. “She’s running onto Wireless Road!” we both screamed with fear. Lizzy dashed back and forth in the busy street. My husband kept up his chase on foot. I shouted to my husband, “Tom! Be careful when you cross the street!”Within minutes, traffic was actually stopped on Wireless Road. A half-dozen good people got out of their cars to help. Soon, she ran into a safer area and then back to our street. With the help of six strangers, we caught her within a few anxious minutes. Everyone cheered, and we thanked the helpers again and again.With Lizzy safely back inside, we drove straight to the hospital and were able to see our daughter in the delivery room.

By the end of the 19th century, most Indian tribes (部落) were moved to reservations. A lot of their children were taken away to boarding schools to learn to speak English. By the end of the 20th century, more than half of the Native Americans in the US were living in the cities. They gave up speaking their old tribal language and only used English. As a result, many Native American languages disappeared and with that their culture.Today some American Indian languages are usually spoken by the older members of the tribes who still live on the reservations. In North America there are 150-170 languages that have at least one speaker. One ancient language spoken by the Northern Paiute tribe has over 100 speakers.But the good news is that some of these people are keeping their culture and language alive. They are also receiving help from the National Geographic Society’s Enduring Voices project, whose aim is to help languages around the world which are dying out. T he team meets these “last speakers”. The experts interview them and they are recorded with video, pictures and so on. They also tell old stories which are written down in English so people can learn more about the cultures.Recording the language and culture is only part of the project. The next stage is to pass on the language to the next generation. The Salish tribe is an excellent example of how schools can help. The tribe lives on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. Their language is spoken by about 50 people aged over 75. So now, the local people have set up a school. It has 30 students aged two to twelve during the day and there are also courses for adults in the evening.8．Why did Europeans fight with the American Indians?A．To live in American cities B．To occupy more living spaceC．To have Indians speak English D．To make Indian cultures disappear9．What does the underlined word “They” refer to in Paragraph 3?A．The experts B．The recordingsC．The Indian cultures D．The last speakers10．What can we know about the Salish tribe?A．It has its own language school. B．It has given up speaking English.C．Its next generation speaks English. D．Its language is only learnt by adults.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Learning American Indian LanguagesB．Researching on American Indian LanguagesC．Saving American Indian LanguagesD．Finding Lost American Indian LanguagesIt is becoming increasingly important for researchers to closely monitor our ocean life. However, observing sea creatures up close is almost impossible since human presence scares them. Now, thanks to the The Soft Robotic Fish, also known as SoFi, researchers may be able to keep a close eye on the sea creatures.Built by MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the white remote-controlled robot resembles the real fish, complete with a tail that waves from side to side. Though not the first autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) created to monitor the ocean, SoFi settles many of the problems that have blocked the usefulness of previous robot fish.Previous AUVs have had to be linked to boats because of radio frequency communications don’t work well underwater. To overcome the problem, Director of the CSAIL Daniela Rus and her team used sound waves. The technology can travel greater distances allowing divers to pilot SoFi from up to 50 feet away.。

What will a skiing beginner who wants to enjoy himself prefer to choose?A. Blue SquareB. Black DiamondC Double Black Diamonds D. Green CircleBThe air is thin and we have to rest several times on the shore hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we stay here.Tibetan antelopes live mainly on the plains of Tibet. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I'm struck by their beauty. I'm also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted illegally for their valuable fur.My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a safe place for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We're not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we're trying to save ourselves.”In the 1980s and 1990s the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make money. Their living places were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.In order to save Tibetan antelopes, the Chinese government placed them under national protection. Zhaxi and volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope wasremovedfrom the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection program since the threat to the Tibetan antelope has not yet disappeared. Only when we learn to exist in harmonywith nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.4. What can we learn from Zhaxi's words in paragraph 3?A. Protecting the animals can make money.B. Protecting the animals is protecting ourselves.C. He is not fond of protecting the animals.D. The reserve is only safe for wild animals.5. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?A. Why hunters hunt Tibetan antelopes.B. Why antelopes' living places changed.C. Why antelopes' number dropped greatly.D. Why the 1980s and the 1990s are unusual.6. What does the underlined word “removed” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Deleted.B. Changed.C. Migrated.D. Recognized.7. What might be the future condition of Tibetan antelopes according to the last paragraph?A. They will be over-populated.B. They will be a threat to man and other wildlife.C. They will be on the endangered species list again.D. They will be in harmony with nature and humans.CAs is commonly known,Antarcticais an icy continent with extreme environment. However, a new study provides evidence that the area had a rainforest in the past.The researchers collected a piece of Earth sediment from under the seafloor off the coast ofAntarctica. In the sediment, they discovered forest material that was estimated to be about 90 million years old. At that period, dinosaurs were the ruler animals of the land.Johann Klages, a German geologist, was the lead writer of a study on the findings, published in the journalNature. He said the sediment was collected from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor. Klages said an examination showed that the material didn’t form in the ocean.The researchers estimate that the area — about 900 kilometers from the South Pole — had average yearly temperatures of about12°Cto13°C. The soil included fine dirt particles and hard clay, as well as substances linked to at least 65 different kinds of plants, the study found. Although no animal remains were found, Klages said there were likely dinosaurs, flying reptiles and many insects in the environment.The research represents new evidence of the major climate changes Earth experienced in the past — and is currently undergoing today. The soil in the sediment dates back to the planet’s warmest period of the past 140 million years, with sea level about 170 meters higher than today. The researchers said that the rainforestenvironment inAntarcticawas especially surprising because each year, the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life. Klages said no ice sheets were present during the time, but seasonal snowfall was likely.8. What can we learn about the sediment collected?A. It formed in the age of dinosaurs.B. It was found on theAntarcticaland.C. Ancient forest material was found in it.D. Some dinosaur remains were found in it.9. How did the researchers reach their findings?A. By analyzing the Earth sediment.B. By exploring ice inAntarctica.C. By collecting data on climate.D. By researching special plants.10. What can be indicated in the last paragraph?A. Seasonal snowfall made the forest disappear.B. Antarctica was much colder 140 million years ago.C. Antarctica’s natural environment has changed greatly.D. Polar nights inAntarcticaare getting shorter than before.11. What is the main idea of the text?A. Rainforest disappeared fromAntarctica.B. Antarctica had a different history of climate.C. Researchers studied a piece of Earth sediment ofAntarctica.D.Antarcticahad an extreme environment containing ice and snow.DIt's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they’ve been, and they don't identify you or any of their friends--every moment intheir life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food.They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements.They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact. scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively(挑衅地) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past "fights".But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survivein the wild. "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk,"lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals.But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.12. According to the text, people commonly believe that ______.A. fish don't recognize any of their friendsB. a fish's memory lasts for only seven minutesC. fish can only remember part of their past experiencesD. fish can remember things that happened long ago13. How can fish benefit most from a good memory?A. They can remember their enemies and fight.B. They can remember where to get food and survive.C. They can remember their friends and help each other.D. They can remember where to go when in danger.14. What can we learn from the text?A. Only African cichlids have a good memory.B. African cichlids can remember things for 12 days.C. African cichlids always treat other fish aggressively.D. African cichlids don't belong to the list of smart animals.15. What is the text mainly about?A. What we can learn from fish.B. Fish having a very bad memory.C. How fish improve their memory.D. Fish being smarter than we thought.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。

We received a text from our son-in-law, Joe Levanti, that Melanie was about to give birth. Tom and I sprang from our chairs suddenly. It’s a tradition in our immediate family to wait at the hospital for a birth. This would be Melanie and Joe’s first child.“You take Lizzy out before we leave, and I’ll be waiting for you in the car!” I told Tom. I started the car and waited impatiently. I saw my husband walk out of the front door- but then out shot Lizzy and she was running down the street at great speed.My husband ran after the dog, and I followed in my car. “Lizzy! Lizzy!” we shouted as fear filled our heart. We chased her up and down our Be llwood Avenue. “She’s running onto Wireless Road!” we both screamed with fear. Lizzy dashed back and forth in the busy street. My husband kept up his chase on foot. I shouted to my husband, “Tom! Be careful when you cross the street!”Within minutes, traffic was actually stopped on Wireless Road. A half-dozen good people got out of their cars to help. Soon, she ran into a safer area and then back to our street. With the help of six strangers, we caught her within a few anxious minutes. Everyone cheered, and we thanked the helpers again and again.With Lizzy safely back inside, we drove straight to the hospital and were able to see our daughter in the delivery room.

By the end of the 19th century, most Indian tribes (部落) were moved to reservations. A lot of their children were taken away to boarding schools to learn to speak English. By the end of the 20th century, more than half of the Native Americans in the US were living in the cities. They gave up speaking their old tribal language and only used English. As a result, many Native American languages disappeared and with that their culture.Today some American Indian languages are usually spoken by the older members of the tribes who still live on the reservations. In North America there are 150-170 languages that have at least one speaker. One ancient language spoken by the Northern Paiute tribe has over 100 speakers.But the good news is that some of these people are keeping their culture and language alive. They are also receiving help f rom the National Geographic Society’s Enduring V oices project, whose aim is to help languages around the world which are dying out. The team meets these “last speakers”. The experts interview them and they are recorded with video, pictures and so on. They also tell old stories which are written down in English so people can learn more about the cultures.Recording the language and culture is only part of the project. The next stage is to pass on the language to the next generation. The Salish tribe is an excellent example of how schools can help. The tribe lives on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. Their language is spoken by about 50 people aged over 75. So now, the local people have set up a school. It has 30 students aged two to twelve during the day and there are also courses for adults in the evening.8．Why did Europeans fight with the American Indians?A．To live in American cities B．To occupy more living spaceC．To have Indians speak English D．To make Indian cultures disappear9．What does the underlined word “They” refer to in Paragraph 3?A．The experts B．The recordingsC．The Indian cultures D．The last speakers10．What can we know about the Salish tribe?A．It has its own language school. B．It has given up speaking English.C．Its next generation speaks English. D．Its language is only learnt by adults.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Learning American Indian LanguagesB．Researching on American Indian LanguagesC．Saving American Indian LanguagesD．Finding Lost American Indian LanguagesIt is becoming increasingly important for researchers to closely monitor our ocean life. However, observing sea creatures up close is almost impossible since human presence scares them. Now, thanks to the The Soft Robotic Fish, also known as SoFi, researchers may be able to keep a close eye on the sea creatures.Built by MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the white remote-controlled robot resembles the real fish, complete with a tail that waves from side to side. Though not the first autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) created to monitor the ocean, SoFi settles many of the problems that have blocked the usefulness of previous robot fish.Previous AUVs have had to be linked to boats because of ra dio frequency communications don’t work well underwater. To overcome the problem, Director of the CSAIL Daniela Rus and her team used sound waves. The technology can travel greater distances allowing divers to pilot SoFi from up to 50 feet away.Also limiting the usefulness of traditional AUVs is the risk of collision. With the outside made of soft silicone (硅树脂) rubber and flexible plastic that keeps its inbuilt electronics dry, SoFi poses no such danger. “Collision avoidance often leads to unnecessary movement, since the robot has to settle for a collision-free path,” says Rus. “ In contrast, a soft robot is not only more likely to survive a collision but also could use it as information to form a more workable movement plan next time around.”During test dives, SoFi moved alongside the ocean life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, taking photos and making videos. The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strange-looking robot-fish out of curiosity, while at other times they took no notice of its existence.While SoFi presently only records video, future versions will include sensors. The researchers also hope to make it more autonomous. “We imagine someday it might help us uncovers more secrets from the amazing underw ater world that we know so little about,” says Rus.12．What can we learn about SoFi?A．Its tail is flexible. B．It is the first AUV.C．It is closely controlled. D．Its presence scares sea animals.13．What can be learned from paragraph 3?A．Sound waves travel faster than radio.B．Radio does not work well underwater.C．Previous AUVs use radio to communicate.D．A boat travels along with SoFi on the water.14．How does SoFi differ from traditional AUVs?A．It is controlled above.B．It can avoid a collision.C．It can smartly adjust its movement plan.D．It is set for a collision-free path.15．Where is the passage possibly taken from?A．A news report. B．A science fiction.C．A social website. D．A short biography.二、七选五Behind every great product is a great team.

2019-2020学年宁夏银川一中高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案解析
2019-2020学年宁夏银川一中高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（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AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BWolves have a certain undeserved reputation: fierce, dangerous, good forhunting down deer and farmers’ livestock. However, wolves have a softer, more social side, one that has been embraced by a heart-warming new initiative.In a bid to save some of Europe’s last wolves, scientists have explored the willingness of these supposedly fierce creatures to help others of their kind. Female wolves, the scientists have discovered, make excellent foster parents to wolf cubs that are not their own. The study, published in Zoo Biology, suggests that captive-bred wolfcubs(幼兽)could be placed with wild wolf families, boosting the wild population.The gray wolf was once the world’s most widely distributed mammal, but it became extinct as a result of widespread habitat destruction and the deliberate killing of wolves suspectedof preying on livestock. Fear and hatred of the wolf have since become culturally rooted, fuelled by myths, fables and stories.In Scandinavia, the gray wolf is endangered, the remaining population found by just five animals. As a result, European wolves are severely inbred and have little geneticvariability（变异性）, making them vulnerable to threats, such as outbreaks of disease that they can’t adapt to quickly. So Inger Scharis and Mats Amundin of Linkoping University, in Sweden, started Europe’s first gray wolf-fostering program. They worked with wolves keptat seven zoos across Scandinavia. Eight wolf cubs between four and six days old were removed from their natural parents and placed with other wolf packs in other zoos. The foster mothers accepted the new cubs placed in their midst.The welfare of the foster cubs and the wolves’ natural behavior were monitored using a system of surveillance cameras. The foster cubs had a similar growth rate as their step siblings in the recipient litter, as well as their biological siblings in the source litter. The foster cubs had a better overall survival rate, with 73% surviving until 33 weeks, than their biological siblings left behind, of which 63% survived. That rate of survival is similar to that seen in wild wolf cubs. Scientists believe that wolves can recognize their young, but this study suggests theycan only do so once cubs are somewhere between three to seven weeks of age.If captive-bred cubs can be placed with wild-living families, which already have cubs of a similar age, not only will they have a good chance of survival, but they could help dramatically increase the diversity of the wild population, say the researchers. Just like the wild wolves they would join, these foster cubs would need protection from hunting. Their arrival could help preserve the future of one of nature’s most iconic and polarizing animals.4. What’s the theme of the passage?A. Giving wolf cubs a new lifeB. Foster wolf parents and foster cubsC. The fate of wild wolvesD. Changing diversity of wild wolves5. Which of the following flow chart best demonstrates the relationship between the wolves?A. B.C. D.6. Which of the following statements is true?A. Female wolves are willing to raise wolf cubs of 3 to 7 weeks old.B. Foster cubs are accepted by foster parents and are well bred.C. Man’s hostile attitude towards wolves roots in myths, fables and stories.D. Foster cubs and their biological siblings have similar growth rate and survival rate.7. What’s the purpose of the research?A. To help wolves survive various threatsB. To improve wolves’ habitat and stop deliberate killingC. To save endangered wolves by increasing their populationD. To raise man’s awareness of protecting wolvesCA crew（全体成员）of six teenage girls completed a nine-day sailing trip in the US recently, after havingseasickness and strong winds.For the past three years, the Sea Cadet teenagers whoset sail were all male. Roger Noakes, who captained（担任队长）the boat, said this was the first time he’d taken out an all-female crew.The girls asked for an all-girls trip in August this year. The crew set sail along with three adults, Noakes and two Sea Cadet representatives. The original plan was for the girls to sail 24 hours a day in rotating shifts（轮流换班）along the coast and then return. Things turned out differently, however. “The first night was difficult because the wind was really hard. The waves were going up and down,” said Abby Fairchild,16. “Everybody got seasick.” Noakes gave the girls the choice of just sailing in the bay and not going into open water. “But they decided they were going.”The teenagers then sailed a long way overnight and slept in shifts. “We’ve learned everything from controlling the boat to putting up the sails while we have rough seas,” said 15-year-old Olivia Wilcox.The teenagers stopped on land in Massachusetts. They didn’t make it to their original destination（目的地）in Maine, where they were supposed to have a celebratory dinner, due to the weather and winds. They said they weren’t disappointed, however, as they’d learned a lot. “They learned about boating, and above all, they built confidence and character,” said Noakes.8. What was special about the Sea Cadet trip this year?A. It was the longest sailing trip ever.B. It was the first all-female-crew sailing trip.C. It was the most dangerous sailing trip ever.D. It was the first sailing trip for teenagers.9. What happened on the crew’s first day of the trip?A. They all felt sick on the boat.B. Some of them were hurt.C. Their boat was out of control.D. They went into open water by mistake.10. Which of the following best describes these young sailors?A. Strong-minded and having a strong sense of teamwork.B. Hard-working and having great leadership skills.C. Understanding and creative.D. Adventurous and skillful.11. According to Noakes, what was the sailors’ greatest benefit from the trip?A. They knew the sea better.B. They made many friends.C. They got excellent sailing skills.D. They developed good personalities.DItzhak Perlman was born in Tel Aviv, in whatwas thenPalestine, in 1945.

This story happened when I was in Saint Lucia with my family． My sister, Diane, who also happens to be my best friend and one of the funniest and kindest people I know, went blind in one eye about 9 years ago． Diana sometimes feels concerned about the way her eve look now． The pupil （瞳孔） is no longer black; it's sort of "glows" in photos． Diana recently purchased a special contact lens （隐形镜片） that makes her eye look like it did before it changed color, but she doesn't wear this lens often because it becomes quite painful after about an hour．One night during our holiday, a hotel photographer was taking pictures of the guests as they entered the area set up for dinner． Diana casually said if she had known there was going to be pictures taken to capture this special memory, she would have worn her contact lens so her eye wouldn't be so shiny in the picture．The next day, I was sitting with Diana and her husband Ted． While we were talking, the photographer who had been at the dinner the night before, handed her a photo, leaned in and quietly said, "I matched the color of your eyes in the picture．"As he walked away, my sister happily said to me and Ted, "Look! He fixed my eye!" The photographer stopped． He turned around and walked back to our table． He put his hand on Diana's shoulder, leaned in again and gently said, "Just to be clear: I didn't fix your eye． There isn't anything wrong with your eye． I simply matched the color．" Her eyes filled up with tears． It was very healing for: her heart to hear these beautiful words． It didn't take much time but made so much difference． It helped her change the way she feels about herself．I have always loved the quote: "The world is full of good people． If you can'1 find one, be one!" Your acts of kindness can impact the world in pro found ways!（1）My sister bought a contact lens in order to________．A keep the pupil comfortableB show off the beautiful color of her pupilC protect her eye from the strong sunlightD avoid the pupil being too bright and shiny．（2）Diana felt________ when she knew there was a photo taken for the dinner．A excitedB proudC regretfulD shocked．（3）Tears welled up in Diana's eyes because________．A she was touched by the photographerB she felt her eyes were so painfulC she was hurt by the gesture of the photographerD she felt so sad that she didn't wear her lens．（4）What's the best title of the passage？________A A Shiny PupilB A Considerate PhotographerC The Act of KindnessCounts D The Contact Lens Makes a Difference．3. Both honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies． They survive by means of their collective intelligence． Their decision﹣making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group． Instead, they work together． As Deborah M． Gordon, a biologist of Stanford University, says, "Ants aren't smart． Ant colonies are．" The same is true for bee colonies． Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their behavior． Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity of learning．Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source． For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony． The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell． Bees, on theother hand, use movement to communicate with each other． Worker bees send message to each other by means of a "dance"． Different speeds and movements send different messages． For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new hoe for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is． The faster the scouts dance the better the new location is．Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning． One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source． The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of "sameness" and "difference" to accomplish certain tasks． Ants take this one step further． Recent America research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their________ to other younger ants． They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles．As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar． Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals． Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities．（1）What do ants and bees have in common？________A They make use of collective intelligence．B They live in similar﹣sized colonies．C They have small leadership groups that make all decisions．D They use the same method to communicate with each other．．（2）What docs the speed of a bee's dance indicate？________A The distance to a neighboring colony．B The quality of a new colony location．C The discovery of a new food source．D The direction to a potential food source．．（3）In paragraph 3， how docs the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning？________A By using statistics．B By explaining reason．C By presenting study findings．D By stating opinions．．（4）What does the underlined part "foraging skills" refer to in the third Paragraph？________A The skills of communicating．B The skills of sacking food．C The skills of leaning．D The skills of finding a new home．4. Endless queues and long waits at the ticket inspection desks at China's major train stations were signature of the Spring Festival travel rush before this year． Every year, as the country's biggest national holiday unfolded a huge flow of travelers would leave staff at the check﹣in desks facing a dilemma．But with the installment （安装） of artificial intelligence （AI） in dozens of train stations this year, including a facial recognition system which is able to process passenger identification within five seconds and therefore speed up the waiting process, busy scenesstarted to become something of the past．When a passenger approaches the camera inside the facial recognition system at the station, it scans his face and then quickly compares it with the photograph shown on his identification card in real time． If the information matches, the barrier gates will open and allow the passenger to go through．Such use of facial recognition technology is in line with discussions heard at the recent two sessions meeting, a key annual political event, which focused on the widespread application of a security network named Tianwang （"Sky Net" in English） currently being used by China's public security department．The network, according to reports by the People Daily, has the potential to recognize the facial features of anyone in the world and match them on the spot with photographs on a database of criminal suspects． In fact, it can analyze photographic identity so quickly that it can scan every single Chinese face on the planet in just one second, and it would only take two seconds to scan every face in the world, with an accuracy rate of up to 99.8 percent．Those are just two examples that highlight the development of Chinese visual AI technology, which industry insiders predict could contribute to powerful growth in the global technology sector this year．（1）What's the author's purpose in writing the first paragraph？________A To introduce the following topic of the passage．B To describe the Spring Festival．C To inform readers of the development of China．D To explain the dilemma of the staff．．（2）What's the solution to the Spring Festival travel rush？________A Using artificial intelligence．B Opening more barrier gates．C Limiting the number of passengers．D Increasing more staff at the check﹣in desks．．（3）What can we know about facial recognition technology？________A Its application leads to a heated discussion．B Its application is useless to policemen．C Its operating speed is not yet high enough．D Its accuracy rate is very high．．（4）What's the author's attitude towards Chinese visual AI technology？________A Depressed．B Positive．C Doubtful．D Indifferent．二、七选五5.New Lives for Old PhonesWhen a new mobile phone starts to be sold in stores， many people rush out to buy one． We all want the newest， latest thing．（1）_______．Mike Townsend works at Total Recall， a mobile phone recycling company． "Don't throw your old phone away．（2）_______ if you throw it away， it goes with other rubbish to become landfill． In other words， it is put in a big hole in the ground and it becomes a bigproblem，" he says．Mobile phones contain some poisonous materials． If your phone goes to a landfill， these poisonous materials can get out and get into the water under the ground． That's the water we need to drink or water goes into rivers or the ocean．（3）_______That's a lot of landfill and a lot of poisonous materials．"At Total Recall， we separate the old phones into pieces． Most of the materials in the mobile phones can be recycled and used again．（4）_______ For example， phone batteries contain nickel and cadmium． The nickel is used to make steel and the cadmium can be used to make new batteries．" explains Mike．"（5）_______ You can usually just take it into a mobile phone shop and they wilt send it to us，" says Mike．So before you throw that old mobile phone away， use it the last time： search for a recycler near you and give them a call．A． Recycling your old phone is easy．B． Send it to us and we'll recycle it．C． How much is your old mobile phone worth？D． But what should we do with our old mobile phones？E． Millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year．F． Recycling materials helps keep the environment greener and cleaner．G． We take apart the old phones and they are used to make new products．三、完形填空6.
