ABig messaging apps abroadWhile WeChat is China’s biggest mobile messaging app,there are many equivalent apps in other countries that offer similar features.

A.Group mobile games.B.Free emoticons.C.Free downloads of the app.D.Text and group chat. 22.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?ers can always send and receive messages for free with WhatsApp.ers can share files with any of the three apps.C.KakaoTalk frees users from unwanted advertisements.D.Line is the most popular one of the three apps.23.In which part of the newspaper may this article be found?A.Advertisement.B.Economy and Finance.C.Entertainment.D.Science and Technology.BI love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.But a big part of this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often I’m smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep,we may run over the day in our minds,and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV,read the news on our smart phones or tablets,or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming (宣告) all the things that are happening in the world andwork emails make us feel that we’re still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but,with the odd exception,I mostly avoid anything thatis too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it’s somethingthat inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating,when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure that I get a peaceful sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broonis like a comfort blanket for me.I’d suggest you find light-hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime,especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time,or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thingthat can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh,then you may feel even better.Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain.It strengthens the immune system,it’s good for the heart,and it is most definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons,I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.24.What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons? A.They make peoplerun over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.25.What can we know from the text?A.Oor Wullie an d The Broons are the author’s favorite books.B.A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C.The author sometimes reads something about inspiration.D.Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.26.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about? A.What material brings us laughter. B.How laughter affects our health. C.What benefits laughter brings to us. D.Why laughter is good for us.27.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”.But have you ever thought about this expression?When a cat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in itsbloodstream.Although the cat doesn’t realize this,its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues,the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself,or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited,angry or scared by other feelings,our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster,and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We,too,get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over,we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later?Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely,or said you were inlove,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isn’t always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it’s smarter to always hide our feelings?No!If you keep feelings of anger or sadnesshidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop,and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don’t just go away.It’s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them,but before long you’d smell them.And if you opened thecupboard,chances are th at you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist,but they’ll still be around.And at last you’ll have to deal with them,just like those bananas. 28.When people and animals are aroused by fear, . A.they feel veryregretful immediatelyB.their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC.their hearts beat either faster or slowerD.they may get ready to attack or run away29.Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage? A.They are usually not as alert as animals.B.They sometimes can’t control their feelings.C.They always do something wrong to other people.D.They don’t pay attention to the ir physical changes.30.What can we infer from the passage?A.Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B.Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C.Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D.It’s good for y our health to keep pleasant feelings inside. 31.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B.To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C.To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D.To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely.DSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”?Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness.But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello.E-mail,too,is slower than a text.Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listenedto.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.“Why are you leaving him voice mail?” my sister asked.“Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,a business’s phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards?Easy.Consider your audience.Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank-you message.Others,likeme,want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learnt from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out o f fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.32.What does the underlined word “Exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph? A.Worried. B.Surprised. C.Annoyed. D.Tired. 33.Why didn’t the writer reply to his father? A.He liked text messages better.B.He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C.He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.D.He didn’t want to talk with his father.34.Which of the following does the writer agree to?A.People needn’t learn from one another in traditional so cieties.B.Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C.People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.D.Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary. 35.What’s the best title of this passage?A.Nowadays:what should we do with text messages?B.Nowadays:do you like leaving others a voice message?C.Nowadays:what means should we use in communication?D.Nowadays:do you need a thank-you message? 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。

I was finishing up the first year of an MFA program in poetry. I was tired and puzzled. "Was I good enough to be in the program?" When a professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn't want to appear idle(闲散的). "Gardening," I responded immediately. Actually I knew nothing about plants! My professor nodded, saying, "What a good idea, Mari! Emily Dickinson loved gardening." Emily Dickinson had lived in the countryside, studying plants as a child. I was in my late twenties, living in the city without gardening experience.A few days later, I bought a jalapeño seedling(青辣椒秧苗). At least I could say I'd tried gardening. I watered and changed the dirt for my little plant. I even talked to it. And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. I was proud. Maybe I didn't have a black thumb after all.I started the second year of my MFA, and then it was almost December and my jalapeño was suffering. It was brown in some places; many of its leaves had fallen off. Would my little guy make it? I prayed, "Please be okay." As if its survival were closely linked to mine.I worked hard in school. Spring came. My jalapeño plant came back to life. It grew bigger, with new leaves. And then it flowered. I handed in my graduate paper--a book of poems--in May. "Your poems are strong," my professor said.A huge weight lifted. I'd done it! At that time, I found the flowers on my jalapeño plant were gone. I watchedcloser. Where a flower had been, a tiny green fruit pushed through. I smiled. I had succeeded in my MFA program, and my jalapeño plant had grown right beside me, and I successfully did things I hadn't thought possible.4．Why did the author begin gardening?A．Just by accident.B．For the love for gardening.C．To express fancy for Emily Dickinson.D．Because of the reminding of a professor.5．When did the author begin her first gardening?A．In her childhood.B．In one of her summer breaks.C．In her teens.D．In her first year of MFA program.6．What does the underlined phrase "a black thumb" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．A talent to grow plants.B．A dirty finger to touch plants.C．A good fortune to do everything.D．An inability to do gardening.7．Which proverb can best describe the story above?A．Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.B．Easier said than done.C．It's never too old to learn.D．Do not teach fish to swim.CCreated in the 1920s by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect who designed Waterloo Bridge, red public telephone boxes, which can be seen all over the UK, are regarded as one of the most typical symbols of this country.However, public phones have had their day despite their lovely housings. While coin-operated and card-operated telephones are on the edge of extinction, mobile phones are playing a significant role in people's lives. Though they are more portable, flexible and extensively used, mobile phones have their weakness: battery life. Instead of trashing the phone booths, a project was then promoted to recycle and reuse them. To be consistent with the environment-friendly preference, people are allowed to rent and repurpose the red phone boxes. In this way, they are making an unusual come back. When you take a walk down Tottenham Court Road in London and find low-battery condition, there happens to be a green option for you. The abandoned the red phone boxes are beingused as free charging stations powered by solar energy.Inside the booths, which are newly painted green, there are various adaptors that can be connected to different brands and models of mobile phones. Just walk in, plug your phone in, and charge it up whenever it needs to be supplied with power. Most people would stay inside the boxes while they charge. Fully aware of this when launching the project, Solarbox can now reach a large quantity of audience by displaying ads on solid equipment. Its advertisers include well-known companies like Uber. Yet 30% of advertising space is reserved for local community projects.Apart from converting phone booths into solar-powered charging stations, other forms of transformation can be found in and outside the UK. For example, there is medical equipment or minilibraries adapted from phone booths, while in America, thousands of phone booths have been transformed into wi-fi hot spots.8．What do you know about the public phones boxes?A．The public phones were abandoned.B．The public phones have been replaced by mobile phones.C．The public phones played a significant role in people's lives.D．The public phones are regarded as typical symbols of this country.9．What does the underlined word "repurpose" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Adapt.B．Produce.C．Unite. D．Build.10．What is an important factor that makes Solarbox launch the project?A．New function.B．Advertising profit.C．People's affection D．Companies support11．What is the text mainly about?A．The future of the public phone.B．The revival of the phone boxes.C．The rise and fall of the red boxes.D．The ups and downs of the payphone.DOver all, Girls perform better than boys in school. It starts as early as kindergarten. By the time students reach college, women graduate at a higher rate than men. But there’s an exception. Boys match the grades of girls in elementary school, a new study has found. For them, the gender achievement gap doesn’t appear until adolescence — at which point they start doing worse as a group than girls.More and more studies have shown that boys’ under-performance is not because of any internal reasons. Instead, it seems, it’s largely because of something external: their school environments and peer influences. Thenew study offers a clue about how much school environments affect boys’ academic achievement. Ms. Hsin found that the gender gap for boys in high school was smaller in schools that were less sports-focused, and where boys did better over all. Other studies have also stressed the importance of the school and social environments, especially for boys. For boys, these influences change in adolescence, Ms. Hsin found, a time when children become more aware of their gender identity and are more influenced by peers.One working paper found that the best-performing students had a combination of behaviors typically considered male and female. It used nationally representative survey data about gender standard for about 12,000 high school students. The most traditionally girls and the most boys had the lowest grades.Researchers have other suggestions. Show them role models who got where they are by doing well in school. Emphasize the importance of hard work and daily practice, and encourage both boys and girls to embrace a full range of fields, and not to feel limited by gender roles. Place high expectations on children, and give them opportunities to meet them.12．When do the boys perform as well as the girl?A．In college. B．In kindergarten.C．In elementary school. D．In senior high school.13．What makes the boys perform worse than the girl?A．Their behaviors.B．Their characteristics.C．Their family influences.D．Their school environments.14．What did Ms. Hsin find in his study?A．The boys did better over girls.B．The children are more influenced by peers.C．Social environments influenced boys more.D．The gender gap for girls in high school was smaller in schools.15．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Children will benefit from role models.B．Children can perform well by working hard.C．Children should be limited by gender roles.D．Children traditionally have the lowest grades in school.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。

2021年高考英语听力模拟试题(一)解析版
2021年高考英语听力模拟试题（一）解析版第一部分：听力（共两节）第一节(共5小题)听下面5段对话。
每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。
听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。
每段对话仅读一遍。
例:How much is the shirt?A. & 19.15.B. & 9.18.C. & 9.15.答案是C。
1. What will Lily do on Monday?A. Deliver some paper.B. Make a speech.C. Borrow some books.【答案】B【解析】审题，明确定位点为Lily Monday，明确答案和女性相关。
分析选项，合理推测对话内容及答案。
A项意为“送一些纸”，B项意为“做一个演讲”，C项意为“借一些书”。
由“纸”，“书”，“演讲”等词汇可推知：对话地点为图书馆，对话内容为周一演讲的准备，对话时间很有可能是在周末。
所以我们推测AC两个选项不太可能会作为答案，因为两个选项适合在图书馆内发生，女性在进行周一演讲前的准备工作，很有可能为干扰项，因此我们可以进行排除；而B项“做一个演讲”与定位点Monday可构成最佳搭配，故提前锁定答案为B项。
【原文】Text 1M: Lily, I couldn't find you anywhere in the morning. Where were you?W: I went to the library to find some information about Chinese festivals.【干扰项出题点】I'll deliver a speech next Monday.2. What can we say about the man?A. He's enthusiastic.B. He's generous.C. He's thankful.【答案】C【解析】审题，明确定位点为the man，选项为性格特征，类似于阅读理解中的推断题。

2021年安徽省淮南第一中学高三英语模拟试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（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ABritain's brilliant bridges have supported trade, brought communities together andare always the mostexciting part of the journey. These must-see bridges are now tourist attractions in their own right.Clifton Suspension Bridge, BristolDescribed byits legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel as “my first love, my darling", it was originally designed for horse-drawn traffic. Now, more than four million vehicles a year cross the 1,352ft-long toll（通行费）bridge over the Avon Gorge. The £ 1 toll for every journey pays for its maintenance. The history of the bridge, dating back to 1864, is kept alive through a programme of tours, events and exhibitions.Infinity Bridge, Stockton-On-TeesA pedestrian（行人）and cycle footbridge across the River Tees, its working title was the North Shore Footbridge, before it was given its grander name when opened in 2009. It is particularly incredible at night. The arches（拱形）of the bridge are also lit white and, on calm nights, their reflection in the water appears as an infinity（无穷大）symbol, thus inspiring the name which was chosen by the public.Tower Bridge, LondonAn engineering wonder built from thousands of tons of Portland stone and steel, it took construction workers eight years to complete. More than 120 years old, it's a popular tourist attraction, as well as a functional bridge. Visitors can take in the views over the capital, experience seeing London life through the Glass Floor, and visit the Victorian Engine Rooms.Iron Bridge, ShropshireOpened in 1781 , this is the first arch bridge in the world made out of cast iron. Recognised as one of the great symbols of the industrial revolution, it transformed the craft of bridge building and was a crucial factor in the development of the iron trade in Shropshire.1. Which bridge has the longest history?A. Clifton Suspension Bridge.B. Infinity Bridge.C. Tower Bridge.D. Iron Bridge.2. What can we know about Infinity Bridge?A.

It was made from thousands of stones.D. It's a symbol of the industrial revolution.BIt was the first day of spring here but it didn't feel like it. The COVID-19 epidemic (流行病) was sweeping the globe and everywhere there were feelings of fear and loneliness. “Social Distancing” had become the new norm. Here the schools had been closed, the restaurant dining rooms had been shut, and people had been told to work from home whenever they could. Even the sheltered workshop where my oldest son worked had been closed until further notice. People had made a run on the stores and large areas of the shelves were bare. On the news the numbers of the sick and dead continued to rise. It felt like there was a weight on the souls of everyone in the world.My family were staying at home as much as possible and as I looked out of my window I wondered how long this crisis would last. It was then, however, that I saw something that lifted that weight off of my soul, made me smile, and made my heart feel happy again. On the street below my house there was an old friend of mine from high school who was a teacher there. With him was my younger son's former aide from the high school as well. They were delivering the school lunches door to door to the hungry children who were stuck at home. Watching them made me think of something everyone's childhood television neighbor, Mr. Roger's once said: "In the bad times, always look for the helpers."I have no doubt that this crisis will pass as all the crisis before. But it is our choice on whether it brings out the best in us or the worst in us. Let it bring out the best in you. Use it to strengthen your faith. Use it to free yourself from fear. Use it to grow kinder, more giving, and more loving. Become a helper to all those in need and you will be a happy person today and all the days to come.4.

We should ask more people to help us in bad times.D. We are supposed to help each other in bad times.CIn the U.

S. of young people between the ages of 18 and 34. This generation is often called millennials (新千年一代).

2021届安徽省淮南第三中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案
2021届安徽省淮南第三中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AOne day when I was 5, my mother blamed me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door (纱门) with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have blamed my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. However, my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, in the defense against unwanted insects.For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing (嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. Iwould wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhapscould not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.1. When the author damaged the door, his parents _______.A. gave him a spankingB. left the door unrepairedC. told him how expensive it wasD. blamed him for what he had done2. The experience may cause the author _______.A. not to go against his parents’ willB. to have a better control of himselfC. not to make mistakes in the futureD. to hide his anger away from others3. What is the main idea of this text?A. Parents is the best way to solve problems.B. Parents are the best teachers of their children.C. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.BScientists have recently discovered thatAndean condors (秀鹫)— some of the world’s largest birds——barely flap their wings at all while flying. Instead, they use rising air currents to remain in the air for hours.The Andean condor is the world’s largest soaring bird. They can weigh up to 15 kilograms. Their wings, when spread out, measure up to three meters. Their main food source is the meat of large animals which have died. Soaring high in the sky allows condors to easily spot possible meals on the ground.Scientists worked together to study the flight patterns of these huge birds and how much effort the birds use when flying. To study the birds while they were in the sky, the researchers attached special devices which could record every beat of their wings.The scientists learned that most of the condors’ flapping— over 75%— came when the birds were taking off. Once in the sky, the birds flew for very long periods of time without flapping at all. In fact, they only flapped their wings for 1% of the time they were in the air. One bird flew for over five hours without flapping, covering nearly 117miles.Soaring without flapping is important because birds bum energy every time they flap their wings.The birds’ soaring isn’t magic. They use the fact that hot air rises to keep themselves up. As hot air rises, it often creates “thermals”— currents of warm air moving upward. The condors soar by making use of these thermals. The tricky part is finding thermals and moving between them.When birds are forced to land and take off again often, it costs them a lot of energy. The researchers learned that to avoid having to land, the condors did most of their non-take-off flapping when they were closer to the ground and looking for a new thermal.The scientists reported that even though all of the condors they studied were young, they knew well how to take advantage of the air currents.4. What can we learn about the Andean condor from the text?A. They live mairly on small animals.B. Their wingspan is at least three meters.C. They rely on hot air to remain high in the sky.D. They are the birds with the strongest flying ability.5. Why was the equipment tied to the birds?A. To measure how far they could fly without flapping.B. To keep track of how often they flapped while flying.C. To calculate the energy required for their flight.D. To confirm their flight patterns.6. Which of the following acts consumes the most energy for a condor?A. Hunting for food.B. Flying in the sky.C. Getting off the ground.D. Landing on the ground.7. What can we infer from the text?A. Condors flap the most when looking for a new thermal.B. No condor can fly for more than five hours without flapping.C. Condors don’t need to look for thermals when soaring in the sky.D. Soaring by using thermals is probably a natural ability of condors.CIt might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?”Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible.Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic. Millions of people watch late-night television programs live, and videos of these shows get millions of views on streaming services. In 2016, a vote conducted by the University of Delaware Center indicated that nearly one in 10 said they learned about science from late-night television shows.Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-nighttelevision could spark science engagement. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that satirical shows had the biggest impact among the least educated viewers, thus helping to narrow a gap in attention to science. Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge.8. What does Paul’s studies of joking about science indicate?A. It may do serious damage to science.B. It can effectively popularize science.C. It totally changes people’s attitude to science.D. It will shift people’s attention from entertainment to science.9. Why do TV watchers receive a little science information?A. Because they enjoy watching entertainments.B. Because science is not easy to come up with.C. Because they find no interest in science issues.D. Because science is scarcely seen on mainstream media.10. What do we know about the late-night shows involving science?A. The hosts get used to playing tricks on scientists.B. The hosts’ aim is to build a positive image of science.C. Education gap can be bridged through late-night shows.D. Science participation can be promoted among their viewers.11. What’s the author’s attitude towards combining science with satire?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Positive.D. Negative.DSelf-esteem is an abstract concept, which refers to people’s beliefs about their own worth and value. American psychologist Abraham Maslow thought self-esteem was a basic human need and included self-esteem in his hierarchy of human needs. He described two different forms of “esteem”: the need for respect from others in the form of recognition, success, and admiration, and the need for self-respect in the form of self-love, self-confidence, and skill. Respect from others was believed to be more fragile and easily lost than inner self-esteem. According to Maslow, without the fulfillment of the self-esteem need, individuals will be driven to seek it and unable to grow and obtain self-realization.Basically, high self-esteem is achieved through a series of real accomplishments, which is good for people. However, the excessive high self-esteem, based more on a sense of entitlement than on any accomplishment, is considered to be less psychologically healthy. And just as self-esteem can be too high, it can also be “under-inflated”. Those having poor self-esteem do have a basis for feeling good about themselves but they may not recognize their accomplishments and actions as meaningful.To appreciate what it would be like to have high self-esteem, one can consider how they may feel about things in their lives that they value. For instance, some people really like cars. They take good care of their cars. They may even decorate the car and then show it off to other people with pride. Similarly, people with high self-esteem love, care for and feel proud of themselves. Take children for example. When they have high self-esteem, they believe they are valuable and important. They enjoy different activities and can handle criticism easily without taking it personally.People need to develop positive self-esteem. This can convince them they deserve happiness. Besides, the development of positive self-esteem increases the capacity to treat other people with respect, thus favoring a variety of interpersonal relationships and avoiding destructive ones.12. What can we infer from Abraham Maslow’s theory about self-esteem?A. Self-esteem ensures us a successful life.B. Self-esteem is essential to self-realization.C. Self-esteem means little to psychological health.D. Others’ respect is more important than self-respect.13. What does the underlined word “under-inflated” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Adequate.B. Insufficient.C. Moderate.D. Lifelong.14. How does the author explain the feelings of having high self-esteem?A. By giving examples.B. By analyzing causes.C. By providing figures.D. By making contrasts.15. Which of the following does the author support?A. Self-esteem ultimately leads to happiness.B. Self-esteem earns you respect from others.C. Positive self-esteem benefits people’s social lives.D. Positive self-esteem helps people out of difficulties.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。
2021年安徽省淮南龙湖中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案
2021年安徽省淮南龙湖中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AI started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.1. How can we describe the young author?A. He opened a small grocery store.B. He did a lot of research in the lab.C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities.D. He learnt about maintenance from his father.2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Getting some financial support.B. Selling a tiny house on wheels.C. Reaching out to many local businesses.D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills.3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph?A. Its size needs increasing.B. Itis popular with the students.C. It has caused some safety concerns.D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage.BYou’re in a crowd of people who are all asking for the same thing. How do you make your voice heard above the rest? Be different. Don’t shout. Lisa, 25, was waiting to board a plane flying fromLondontoAustriafor Christmaswhen the flight was cancelled.“There were about a hundred of us unable to leave,” she says. “Everyone else was shouting at the airport staff. Instead of joining in, I walked up to the man behind the ticket desk very quietly and said, ‘This must be so awful for you! I don’t know how you deal with these situations—it’s not even your fault. I could never handle it as well as you are.’ Without my even asking, he found me a seat on another airline with an upgrade to first class. He was happy to do a favor forsomeone who was appreciative instead of unfriendliness.”Flattery (恭维) is an essential element of the sweet-talk strategy. “It’s human psychology that stroking a person’s ego (自我) with a few well-directed praises makes them want to prove you right,” says apsychologist. “Tell someone they’re pretty and they’ll instantly fix their hair; praise their sense of humor and they’ll tell a joke.”You need help and there’s ly no reason that the person will want to lend a hand. Allison, 26. a lawyer, realized she’d made a huge mistake on a batch of documents. “The only way I could fix the problem was to get the help of a colleague who I knew didn’t like me,” she said.Allison then went to the woman’s office and explained her problem. “As I was saying to the boss the other day you’re the only person who would know how to handle a situation like this, what would you suggest I do?” “Feeling pumped up (鼓励), she set about helping me and we finished the job on time, and she was happy to help.” Allison said.4. Whatwould have happened at the airport according to paragraph 1?A. The departure hall was filled with noise.B. Someone screamed just lo be different.C. The passengers waited on board patiently.D. The airport stuff were rude to the passengers.5. Why did the man put Lisa on another airline?A. He admired Lisa’s beauty.B. He appreciated her attitude.C. He was ready to help others.D. He was blamed for the cancellation.6. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The potential benefits of ego.B. The strategy to start small talk.C. The great importance of flattery.D. The value of humor in daily life.7. What can we learn about Allison’s colleague?A. She was a popular lawyer.B. She was always ready to help others.C. She always got praise from Allison.D. She did a great favor for Allison eventually.CIn this day and age, there seems to be a move towards secondary school subjects. For that reason, some parents and some students feel that the compulsory study of English literature is misguided and disadvantageous to students, particularly if they are second language learners of English. However, there are still good reasons for the study of English literature.Students of English language sometimes fail to see the point of studying English literature,especially if they have no plans to study English or translation at university. But English literature can introduce students to a range of aspects, not only of the English language but also the culture of English-speaking countries.There are aspects of English culture that are summarised by English literature. Of course, this is quite obvious when studying the works of Shakespeare or of writers, poets and playwrights of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is, however, also true when studying other works of English literature. Students can learn about good stories and references to different aspects of English culture. They can also learn the context and meanings of famous quotes and phrases.Studying literature does not confine the students to the traditions ofEnglandbut includes the possibility of introducing them to traditions which inform English literature, such as the study of Ancient Greek drama, and to literature in other contexts, such as American literature.An enjoyment and appreciation of literature will give students the ability to develop this into an interest in books and reading as they move away from their studies and into the adult lives. They will have the confidence toapproach and cope with new forms of books and writing, since they were exposed to a range of literature during their school days.When studying literature, students can learn not only language aspects such as vocabulary items but also the language aspects which can be used for specific purposes. For example, if the students are familiar with the concepts of beat and rhythm of English poems, they can improve their own writing as they are able to appreciate and apply these ideas.Finally, the study of literature can provide students with a fresh and creative angle, from which the students can approach their studies in particular and their lives in general.So the next time you are reading a newspaper article complaining of the lack of creativity and initiative in the local workforce, remember that in a small way the study of English literature can help to add a refreshing and further dimension to a person’s life.8. The author may agree that the study of English literature________.A. has a long-lasting influence on studentsB. is misguided and has more disadvantagesC. is not necessary for second language learnersD. only allows the students to learn the traditions ofEngland9. We can learn from the passage that ________.A.schools fail to care about students’ needsB. learning English literature makes students smarterC. English culture is closely related to English literatureD. the more you read literary works, the more you complain10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the study of English literature?A. Critical.B. Cautious.C. Supportive.D. Anxious.11. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Parents and Students’ DemandsB. Why We Learn English LiteratureC. English Culture and English LiteratureD. Suitable Courses for Secondary SchoolsDPopularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Manypeople now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannotbe measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.12. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by anIQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.13. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.14. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.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。

City of Rocks.D. Earth Treks Englewood.B"To me, love is the most important thing.What could be more healing than love？"These words, like lines from a poem, are easy to agree with coming from Robin, who founded the Bumi Sehat Bali Clinic in central Ubud, the setting for the film Eat, Pray, Love.Now the clinic provides treatment or educational support to over 100，000 people annually.Giving birth to her first child at nineteen, Robin moved to Hawaii after college, working for several years on a farm, where she taught farming practices and poetry.But in 1991，she received heartbreaking news.Her idyllic life on the farm in Hawaii turned upside down when her sister, expecting a child in Alabama, died of pregnancy complications（妊娠并发症）. "When my dear sister passed away, I realized mothers were dying everywhere.In countries with increased poverty, some people can't afford to go to the hospital.What motivated me initially was my love for my sister, but this soon grew into a concern for mothers and children all over the world." Robin's feelings for her sister transformed into a desire to help women everywhere in need, a feeling with her to this day.To ensure that children are born healthy, nutritionally balanced meals are provided to expecting mothers free of charge.Those who lack housing are free to stay as long as necessary.The clinic also sees patients of all ages who have symptoms unrelated to childbirth, while providing facilities for language learning and IT education, and annually training over 6，000 nursing and midwifery（助产学）students, backed by a scholarship program.Just as Robin said, love is to be found inside the Bumi Sehat Clinic.Perhaps feelings of showingkindness toward others and wanting to make the world a better place are the key to a brighter tomorrow.4.Which of the following best explains "idyllic" underlined in Paragraph 3？______A. Peaceful.B. Dramatic.C. Tough.D. Troublesome.5.What made Robin change her career course at first？______A. Her love for midwifery.B. Her desire to help children.C. Her sorrow for her sister's death.D.

Hard work inspires great respect.CGlobal health experts say that each year some of the 1.5 million people die fromvaccine-preventable diseases due to gaping holes in medical record-keeping, especially in developing countries where resources to properly document immunizations（免疫接种）may be lacking.To solve that problem，researchers headed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Techmology（MIT）have invented a way to deliver vaccines（疫苗）through a microneedle patch（贴片）that is buried in the skin.It's a record that can't be seen, written in quantum dots （量子点）that contain vaccination history and give off light only readable by a specially equipped smartphone.The scientists say it doesn't require any link to a database and it doesn't tie into any personal information.For now, the patch can only contain a handful of simple shapes.But adding more microneedles could make the designs more complex, potentially conveying information about a vaccination'sdate,dosage and more.From there, reading the dots becomes a lot like scanning a QR code（二维码）.These designs could be scanned and interpreted by smartphones, and someday allow health providers to access patients' past vaccinations without chaos of external records.The next step, before trials in people, is to test its practicability among experts in the field.The researchers now plan to work with health care workers in developing nations in Africa to get input on the best way to carry out this type of vaccination record-keeping."Ultimately, we believe that this invisible 'on-body' technology opens up new possibilities for data storage and biosensing applications that could influence the way medical care is provided, especially in the developing world," the researchers conclude.8.What do the underlined words "that problem" in Paragraph 2 refer to？______A. Few medical resources.B. Wrong ways to deliver vaccines.C. Lack of vaccination record-keeping.D. No vaccinations required in developing countries.9.What can we learn about quantum dots？______A. They keep a record of the vaccination.B. They need to be connected to a database.C. They give away one's personal information.D. They can read light produced by smartphones.10.How will health providers access patients' past vaccinations？______A. By reading the QR code.B. By scanning the design.C. By interpreting external records.D. By increasing microneedles.11.What do the researchers expect of the new technology？______A. It will be cost-saving.B. It will hit the market soon.C. It may ensure the accuracy of data.D. It may bring changes to medical care.D"The pile of ice is so thick；it extends more than 10，000 feet above the ocean.And if all that ice were to melt and go into the ocean,global sea levels would rise by about 24 feet everywherearound the world," said Jason Briner, a geologist who studies the ice sheet in Greenland at the University of Buffalo.The ice sheet of the biggest island in the world is melting, and the ice sheet that sits atop it is massive.The ice sheet is melting, of course.But just how much, compared to the past？Briner's team did a computer simulation（模拟）of the southwest part of the Greenland ice sheet-which he says is a good indicator for ice melting across the entire ice sheet.The researchers plugged past climate data into that model to "hindcast," rather than forecast, the past activity of the ice sheet.They then checked the model's predictions of the past shape and size of the ice sheet by looking at piles of rocks and dirt on Greenland today, which outline the edges of ancient ice.And the simulation was in good agreement with the actual situation. Using that reconstruction of the ice sheet over time, the team could compare the ice sheet's historic losses to those happening today under human-caused global warming.And they determined that Greenland is on track to lose more ice this century than during any century in the past 12，000 years-possibly four times as much.Finally, it's up to us how much ice actually melts.If the world goes net carbon zero by 2100，for example, Briner says ice loss could stop entirely at the end of the century, according to one model."That was what kept me from being completely depressed about our study." Dozens of countries have already announced goals to go net zero by the middle of this century-so far the U.S. is not one of them.12.What do we know about the Greenland ice sheet？______A. It is as thick as over 10，000 feet.B. It is becoming smaller and smaller.C. It has raised sea levels by 24 feet.D. It is the largest ice sheet in the world.13.How did Briner's team conduct their research？______A. By modeling part of the ice sheet on computer.B. By doing a simulation of the whole ice sheet.C. By studying the ancient rocks and dirt.D. By forecasting the future climate change.14.What can we infer about the Greenland ice sheet in the last paragraph？______A. Its status has already been acknowledged.B. Its growth can be improved by the model.C. The speed of its melting will be increasingly fast.D. The extent of its loss depends on human activities.15.What is the best title for the text？______A. Rising Global Sea LevelsB. Climate Change is Speeding UpC. Greenland-the Biggest Island is MeltingD. Net Carbon Zero-a Global Goal by 2100二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Do you feel like something is missing or you don't have something you want to strive（努力）for in your life？Don't worry! （1）______ Follow these examples to find out what you truly love and pursue your passions!Brainstorm the activities you find satisfying and meaningful.（2）______ This could include things like your hobbies, your work duties, or anything else that makes you happy.Pay special attention to activities that make you lose track of time since that usually means you're enjoying them.（3）______ While your interests may vary a lot, they may be connected by a deeper passion you may not have noticed at first.Consider the books you enjoy reading and hobbies that excite you to see if they have any similarities.If they do, they could help point you toward what you're truly passionate about.Consider your talents.If you're naturally good at something, it may be a clue that you're actually passionate about it.In fact, sometimes you even don't have to be good at something to fuel your passion.（4）______Be enthusiastic about everything you do.It can be really easy to feel pessimistic when you need to complete an activity you're afraid of.（5）______ Even when you're doing something you don't enjoy, approach it as a learning opportunity.You'll never know if you'll discover something that you're passionate about if you don't have any enthusiasm for it.A.But we have to finish what we should do.B.Look for common themes in your interests.C.Identify your passion from the books you read.D.We've all struggled with this at some point in our lives.E.But that will only put you in a negative thinking pattern.F.Think about all of the regular activities that you've already participated in.G.As long as you enjoy doing the activity, you can still be passionate about it.16.

AThe following four famous paintings—from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece—have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eycks Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is not only visually interesting but also famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through Jan van Eycks heavy use of symbolismwhile husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, an oil on canvas (油画布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of a night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital in Saint-R émy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of Vincent van Goghs most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts (描绘) the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of July and August. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, once held this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.GuernicaGuernica, a large oil painting, was painted by the Cubist (立体派的) Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica”refers to the city that was bombed during the war. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an antiwar symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.21.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest?A. Guernica.B. The Harvesters.C. The Starry Night.D. The Arnolfini Portrait.22.Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons?A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder.B. Vincent van Gogh.C. Jan van Eyck.D. Pablo Picasso.23.What do we know about the painting The Starry Night?A. It was painted on wood in oils.B. It described the painters life in hospital.C. It wasnt widely recognized before 1941.D. It was given away to the museum by a collector.BAdventure seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot. When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight, she became so fearful of crutches (拐杖) that shedidn’t move for three weeks. “I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself. So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day,”says Emma. She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run—a quarterly (季度的) event that she hasnt missed since 2014. If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year, one in each season, you can get Alpha Wolf status, explains Emma. This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that Id lose my status. So she was willing to try anything to get through the courseeven with her injured ankle.I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel, but he persuaded me to give it a go. Having something to aim for really kept me going. Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2.0, which is a medically approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg, allowing users to walk freely. I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery. I could move around the house and start getting out and about again, which had a real impact on my mental well-being.On the day of the race, Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated. Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up (达到) her 23rd Wolf Run in six years. “It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going, says Emma.24.Why was Emma frightened to use crutches?A. She was afraid of recovering slowly.B. She was warned not to move around.C. She just had an operation on her foot.D. She often got injured when using them.25.What does the underlined word gutted mean in Paragraph 2?A. Extremely sad.B. A bit relieved.C. Very surprised.D. Pretty cheerful.26.What actually made Emma take part in the race?A. Her new hi-tech artificial leg.B. Her fear of letting her friend down.C. Her strong desire to achieve her ambition.D. Her complete recovery from the operation.27.Which of the following best describes Emma?A. Strong-willed.B. Supportive.C. Creative.D. Humorous.CErik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr. Paul Gauthier, a plant physiologist specializing in vertical (垂直的) farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming.Humans have 12,000 years of experience in growing food, but only a generation’s worth of experience or so in growing crops indoors. We are still progressing up the technology learning curve (曲线). What’s more, traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming. Therefore, without taking time to understand the science, vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promise.The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome. Dr. Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as the pie-in-the-sky business. He famously calculates, for instance, that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoorsthe cost is too high. Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis (光合作用), so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light. Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high, vertical farming does create enormous efficiencies in other areas. Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycledtime and again. Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary. Its clear that vertical farming offers real value to society.The future is probably mixed. In some environmentsthe Middle East, for instancea move to vertical farming is a no-brainer. An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia, for instance, can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading other farmland. In other environments, though, the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability. A large vertical farming and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine-year life.28.What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2?A. It will replace traditional farming one day.B. It relies on research of more basic science.C. It can be applicable under different conditions.D. It actually came into being 12,000 years ago.29.What does Dr. Louis Albright think of vertical farms?A. They use less light than traditional ones.B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed.C. They can overcome many problems in farming.D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer.30.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The ways of reducing costs of vertical farming.B. The secrets of developing vertical farming.C. The recent trend of vertical farming.D. The benefits of vertical farming.31.Why is the example of an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia mentioned?A. To show vertical farming can work well in some places.B. To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia.C. To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high.D. To argue that vegetables do not need to be imported any longer.DResearchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth, but its not Atlantis. They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean regions complex geology, which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas.The continent is called Greater Adria. Its the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa, only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago. And chances are youve been there without even knowing it. Forget Atlantis, said Douwe van Hinsbergen, the study author and professor at Utrecht University. Without realizing it, vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria. This area is called Adria by geologists, so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as Greater Adria.Most of Greater Adria was underwater, covered by shallow seas, coral reefs and sediments (沉淀物). The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas: the Alps, the Apennines, the Balkans and Greece. The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago.This isnt the first time a lost continent has been found. In January 2017, researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana, which began breaking apart 200 million years ago. The leftover (剩余的) piece, which was covered in lava (岩浆), is now under Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. And in September 2017, a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandiathrough ocean drilling in the South Pacific. Its two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea.Greater Adria isnt the first lost continent to be found. But if research in past years shows anything, it likely wont be the last discovery.32.How did the researchers find Greater Adria?A. They found it accidentally.B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis.C. They discovered it after years of searching.D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges.33.What do we know about Greater Adria?A. It is hidden under the sea level.B. It is much smaller than Greenland.C. It has existed for about 240 million years.D. It has been known to many tourists before.34.Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. To describe how the researchers explored continents.B. To show some other lost continents have been found.C. To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria.D. To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried.35.What is the main idea of the text?A. Atlantis was discovered finally.B. The undersea world was explored.C. A hidden mountain was undiscovered.D. A lost continent was found under Europe.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。

AA trip to LondonMy family had dreamed of a trip to London for a long time. Luckily it was possible for us to realize our dream because all of us were free on the weekend.We planned to drive into Cambridge and caught the 7: 34 train to Liverpool Street Station. Then my wifeand I would separate from Joan, my wife’s sister, to do different things and f inally meet again for lunch. And after lunch, we would go to the concert.But we were late because of a thick London fog. The train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival,Joan decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. We didn’t have any mobile phones at that time. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didn’t find her.It was now o ne o’clock, and the concert began at 2: 30. “Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” said my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by subway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it.Just when I was about to become angry, we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found the subway station which was just fifty meters down the road.By now it was far too late to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2: 30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven hours instead of the usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. We were tired and hungry.We finally reached home at ten. Opening the door we were amazed to find Joan at home; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant. Of course, she managed to get home, too. Oh my god!21. What did the writer plan to do after lunch that day?A. Go to the concert.B. Return to Cambridge.C. Go shopping.D. See the Crown Jewels.22.

This note helped us in preparing for their arrival. As they would be here for a number of days his daughter wanted to make his trip to Ireland as smooth as possible.Upon seeing this note and knowing I would be the one to check them in, I decided to learn some very basic sign language. I greeted the guest in my usual fashion, asking for the surname on the booking. Once I heard the name，I immediately realized who was standing in front of me.I had been learning for two weeks how to say: “Welcome to Ireland. My sign language is terrible, but please, if you need anything during your stay, just let me know and we will help you.”I smiled at the father and daughter in front of me. Turning to the father, I greeted him in ASL (American Sign Language) and began the bit I had learned for him. His daughter broke down crying and told me I was sweet. But the father just smiled and was so happy. Honestly, seeing his reaction was enough for me. It was absolutely worth the last few weeks of learning basic ASL.Sadly, I wasn’t working the day they checked out, but they lef t a gift for me, a small box with some chocolates and a book on ASL. Inside was a note saying: “Thank you very much for what you did. My father has been in amazing spirits from the time you checked us in and insisted we get you a gift before we left. You h ave no idea how much this meant to my father and me, and we can’t thank you enough. You've made his trip very special with one simple gesture.”I cried for a solid five minutes when I came into work the next day and found this gift in my locker.24.

Butthe truth is that the vast majority of all pl astic produced can’t be or won’t be recycled. In 40 years, less than 10% of plastic has been recycled.A news programme Frontline, by NPR and the PBS, found that oil and gas companies — the makers of plastic — have known that all along, even as they spent millions of dollars telling the American public the opposite. The plastics industry officials said the industry is providing money for new technology that they believe will get recycling plastic up to scale. The goal, they said, is to recycle 100% of the plastic they make in 5 years.But the more plastic is recycled, the less money the industry will make by selling new plastic. And those profits have become increasingly important. Companies have told shareholders (股东) that profits from using oil and gas for transport are expected to decline in coming years with the increasing use of electric cars. The industry leaders expect oil and gas demands from the chemical industry will be much greater than the demand from the transport side in the coming decade. Plastic production overall is now expected to rise three times by 2050, and once again, the industry is spending money on advertisements and public relations to promote plastic recycling.Plastic is now more common tha n it’s ever been and harder to recycle. Gas prices remain at historic lows, making new plastic cheaper than recycled plastic. And the industry now produces many more different — and more complex —kinds of plastics that are more costly to sort and in many cases can’t be recycled at all. Efforts to reduce plastic use are mounting nationwide, but any plan to slow the growth of plastic will face an industry with billions of dollars of future profits to lose.32. What do we know about the goal of 100% plastic recycling?A. It’s modest.B. It’s achievable.C. It’s urgent.D. It’s unreal.33. How will the oil and gas companies make more profits in the following years?A. By selling electric cars.B. By adding emphasis on recycling.C. By increasing plastic production.D. By meeting the needs of transport.34. What does the underlined word “mounting” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Increasing.B. Working.C. Failing.D. Decreasing.35. What may be the best title for the text?A. Should Plastic Be Recycled?B. Can Plastic Waste Be Handled?C. Recycle Plastic or Sell More?D. Chemical Waste or Substituties?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。
