(新高考)2020 — 2021 学年高三上学期第二次月考英语试卷
（新高考）2020 — 2021 学年高三上学期第二次月考英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AAs an adult, I realized that I had no skills, so I went to trade school. I entered a cabinetmaking (家具制造) program. I didn’t think I would be good at building furniture. I’m not handy. Nobody in my family is.I had great teachers, but making furniture is hard. There are so many steps and something can go wrong at each one. I couldn’t even get organized. My toolbox always looked like a hurricane had gone through it.I didn’t fully know what I was devoting myself to at the beginning, but I kept going to class. I tried to wrap my brain around the math. The projects forced me to solve new kinds of problems. My brain started to build new connections. Working in this new physical manner and giving it 100 percent of my effort had huge benefits for my mental health. I got over fear of embarrassment and asked for help at every opportunity.I spent that year truly learning. True learning is a humbling (令人谦卑的) experience, especially for those of us who are learning a new set of skills. I could understand exactly what was wrong with the furniture I made, but I couldn’t fix my mistakes. And yet, I kept trying. And failing. And failing again. Until I learned to fail better.You’re going to be bad at anything when you start out, but I was pretty bad right to the end. Even so, I finished the program — with honors, no less! My grades were helped by my good written work. Having to constantly push beyond my comfort zone has made me a more well-rounded person. Maybe most importantly, trade school gave me a more realistic idea of my strengths and limitations. I’m stronger than I thought!21. Why did the author sign up for the cabinetmaking program?A. To make more friends.B. To develop new skills.C. To get more organized.D. To become a handy designer.22. What can we know about the author?A. He got a poor grade on hand work.B. He feared to socialize with strangers.C. He was skilled in solving math problems.D. He once got tired of the difficult lessons.23. What does the author’s experience show?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Learning is more than a skill.C. Failure teaches success.D. Skills will never be a burden.BEvery animal species carries unique viruses that have specifically adapted to infecting it. Over time, some of these have jumped to humans — these are known as “zoonotic” viruses.As the population grows, we move into wild areas, which brings us into more frequent contact with animals we don’t normally have contact with. Thus viruses can jump from animals to humans and they can spread between humans, through close contact with body fluids (体液) like blood or urine.Because every virus has evolved to target a particular species, it’s rare for a virus to be able to jump to another species. When this does happen, it’s by chance, and it usually requires a large amount of contact with the virus.Initially, the virus is usually not well-suited to its new host and doesn’t spread easily. Over time, however, it can evolve in the new host to produce variants that are better adapted.When viruses jump to a new host, a process called zoonosis, they often cause more severe disease. This is because viruses and their initial hosts have evolved together, and the species has time to build up resistance. The new host species, on the other hand, might not have evolved the ability to tackle (应对) the virus. For example, when we come into contact with bats and their viruses, we may develop rabies or Ebola virus disease, while the bats themselves are less affected.It’s likely that bats are the original source of three recently emerged coronaviruses: SARS- CoV (2003), MERS-CoV (2012) and SARS-CoV-2. All of these jump from bats to humans via an intermediate animal; in the case of SARS-CoV-2, this may have been pangolins (穿山甲), but more research is needed.24. Why is it rare for a virus to infect another species?A. The new host can deal with the virus.B. The new species builds up resistance.C. Every virus can’t adapt to the new species.D. Each virus develops to target a specific species.25. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. The resistance of the old species.B. The ability of the new host species.C. The process of the viral infection.D. The reason for the virus variation.26. What can we infer from the text?A. Humans should not move into wild areas.B. Wild animals are actually our best friends.C. A virus can spread from animals to humans.D. A virus can vary to infect another species.CAlthough social media allow us to become more connected to other people than at any time inhistory, a new study suggests that many Americans feel lonelier than ever before, which is weakening the nation’s mental and physical health.The study conducted by the health insurer Cigna, found widespread loneliness, with nearly half of Americans reporting they feel alone, or left out at least some of the time. The nation’s 75 million millennials (ages 23—37) and Generation Z adults (ages 18—22) are lonelier than older generations. Besides, 54% of people surveyed said they feel no one knows them well, and four in ten reported they “lack companionship”, their “relationships aren’t meaningful” and they “are isolated (孤孤孤) from others”.Douglas Nemecek, MD, Cigna’s chief medical officer for Behavioral Health, said the findings of the study suggest that the problem has become common, equaling the risks caused by tobacco and the nation’s ever-expanding waistline. “Loneliness has the same influence on health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, while obesity (孤孤) less than 10 cigarettes a day,” he said in releasing the report.Nemeceks comments tallied with those of other leading public health specialists, including former Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy, MD, who said loneliness should be targeted in public health campaigns like those designed to fight against smoking and obesity. “During my years caring for patients, the worst disease I saw was not heart disease diabetes; it was loneliness,” Murthy said in a recent cover story in the Harvard Business Review.The new report, produced in Cigna’s partnership with the polling company Ipsos, is based on an online survey of more than 20,000 US adults using the well-regarded UCLA Loneliness Scale to see how widespread loneliness is in America.27. What does the study conducted by Cigna find?A. Older Americans feel much lonelier.B. Social media do people more harm than good.C. People become more connected to each other.D. Social media increase levels of Americans’ loneliness.28. Which opinion might Douglas Nemecek support?A. Loneliness is not so harmful as smoking.B. Loneliness is taken seriously by the public.C. Loneliness is more dangerous than obesity.D. Loneliness is targeted in public health campaigns.29. What does the underlined phrase “tallied with” mean in paragraph 4?A. Agreed with.B. Varied with.C. Contradicted.D. Inspired.30. What is the purpose of the text?A. To discuss health problems.B. To present findings of 4 recent study.C. To warn people about social media use.D. To show threats to Americans’ health.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。

What's worse, it may cause major professional or personal trouble and lead to negativity. Basically, failure is no fun for most people. However, a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop, increases adaptability, and helps protect against anxiety.It's hard to change the mindset (心态) of a lifetime. But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong, it might not be too late for our kids.Christy Pennison, a professional consultant, says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure. She said, "We want to protect our children, andwe want them to live happy and meaningful lives, so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure. The children experiencing internal and sometimes extenal pressure think they shouldn't fail. Meanwhile, we always have high expectations of them. So when they don't live up to a certain standard, or things don't go according to the plans, they will feel upset and anxious."Pennison argues that failures, are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities, like persistence, focus, flexibility, patience, and positive self-image.So what can parents do to help their children embrace (拥抱) failure instead of avoiding it at all costs? Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort, not the result. "This allows children to build confidence in themselves, "she explains." Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without a fear of failure. And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset —'I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.'—helps them keep a belief in themselves, and expands their world of possibilities." As Pennison points out, we all fail, but how we get up after we fail is what matters.24. What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure?A. The great courage to face it.B. The efforts made to handle it.C. Unexpected benefits it brings.D. Unpleasant side effects it brings.25. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Bring up the main topic.B. List the challenges in our life.C. Add some background information.D. Stress the importance of the mindset26. What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph?A. The causes of children's anxiety.B. Christy Pennison's comments on adolescents.C. The consequences of overprotecting children.D. Christy Pennison's experience in educating children.27. Which of the following advice can help parents encourage kids to face failure?①Praise kids' every achievement.②Make kids embrace a bright mindset.③Focus on the process of kids' effort④Expand kids' knowledge about the world.⑤Encourage kids to make new attempts.A. ①②④B. ②③④C. ②③⑤D. ①③⑤CParents around the world often urge children over and over-wash yourhands! It can be difficult, however, to get children to remember to wash. But what if washing hands was connected to a fun creative activity? What if instead of simply reaching for the soap, a machine could drop it right into your hands?Well, such a machine was recently built by a boy and his sister in the U.S. state of Maryland as part of a creative competition.The not-for-profit Rube Goldberg Organization is holding the competition. Every year, the Rube Goldberg competition assigns a specific task, considering inventions that use complex systems to carry out a simple everyday task. At first, the task for 2020 was supposed to be “turn on a light.”But when the COVID-19 happened, the task was changed to “drop a bar of soap into someone’s hand.”Those taking part in the competition are schoolchildren. But with schools closed to slow the spread of the virus, organizers changed the rules. This year, the team can include any family members and people were asked to send in recordings of the machines to compete. One thing has not changed: The machine must complete the task in less than 10 steps.In Maryland, the Diel family wanted to enter. So, Caitlin and her brother Ben designed and built their own Rube Goldberg machine. Next, they had to demonstrate that it could complete the task-throwing the soap just right to be caught in someone’s hand. After 106 failedattempts, they finally had success. With their video demonstration, they can now enter the competition.Dr Anne Glowinski teaches child psychiatry (精神病学) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. She said that “creativity and play”connects with children. It is better than the message. “We have to wash our hands because of this horrible virus”. Glowinski added. 28. What might be a task of inventions assigned by the Rube Goldberg competition?A. Sweeping the floor.B. Exploring nature.C. Writing a novel.D. Painting the house.29. What change has been made to the rules of the competition this year?A. All kinds of inventions are admitted.B. A video of the entry is qualified to enter.C. Teachers are encouraged to get involved.D. The task must be finished within 10 steps.30. What does Glowinski think of the invention?A. Practical.B. Unnecessary.C. Economical.D. Complicated.31. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To advocate the habit of washing hands.B. To call on schoolchildren to compete in a contest.C. To encourage more inventions from everyday items.D. To introduce a contest making handwashing fun for kids.DLet’s face it.You’re likely reading this article in an effort to avoid some other tasks you’re procrastinating (拖延) to learn how to stop procrastination, but the clock is ticking. So why can’t you seem to get rid of that?Though the psychological causes are still debated, there’s a human tendency to over or underestimate the value of a reward based on its temporal proximity (时间接近). This is often referred to as temporal discounting. For example, if I offered you$100 today or 110 in a month, most would take the hundred and run. But what if instead I offered you 100 dollars in a year or 110 in a year and one month, you might say to yourself if I can wait a year I can wait the extra month.But the time and value difference are the exact same in each example. It turns out that human motivation is highly influenced by how near the reward is meaning the further away the reward is the more you discount its value. So being online is more appealing than preparing for your test. The problem is surfing the Internet provides many small quick and continuous rewards unlike your test scores which are a future one.So how do you overcome the urge to put off so many tasks? Unfortunately there is no definite answer, but try rewarding yourself with a timely snack or other enjoyable activities. The PomodoroTechnique makes use of a timer to work for 25 minutes straight and when you’ve done this give yourself the reward with a 5-minute break. Then start the working clock again, Gradually increasing the amount of work time you put in will improve your time management skills.It’s been shown that creating a costly deadline is also an effective way to manage your working habits. And try to enjoy the process of achieving something instead of thinking only our minutes of suffering.32. What does the underlined word “that”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. This article.B. Procrastination.C. An effort.D. The clock.33. An example is given in Paragraph 2 to make the theoryA. interestingB. accurateC. understandableD. influential34. Why is surfing online more attractive to students than studying?A. It helps them kill time faster.B. It offers them more information.C. It supplies instant rewards to them.D. It strengthens the bond between friends.35. What’s a suggested solution to procrastination?A. Rewarding yourself with a future gift.B. Increasing the amount of work time.C. Ignoring the process of doing the task.D. Paying dearly for your procrastination.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

Visitors saw a new British starring actor Gabriel Byrne, who was also a special guest that night. He talked about his successful movie and how it was made. The movie is about a young British boy growing up in Africa in the 1960s. Mr. Byrne said that filming in Swaziland and learning about that country were one of the best experiences in his career.Filmfest DC movies dealt with two main subjects this year. One theme was the cinema of Brazil. Filmfest DC officials say Brazil is currently producing many energetic and creative movies. Audience enjoyed ten examples of new Brazilians movies and true-life documentaries.Another theme of the festival was hip-hop music. This kind of music started in America, but its influence and sounds have traveled all over the world.Several movies explored hip-hop culture in countries like Morocco and Senegal. One movie is called La Fabri-K. It tells about a group of hip-hop musicians from Cuba. The musician said their songs helped express how young people feel in Cuba. The songs talk about social problems such as racial identity.Filmfest DC also showed new movies from the United States. One movie is called Akeelah and the Bee. It tells the story of Akeelah, a young girl with special talent for spelling.56. The main purpose of Filmfest DC is to _____.A. show the latest movies from all over the worldB. praise those who made contributions to the film industryC. award the most famous actors and actressesD. discuss the future of the film industry around the world57. According to the passage, we can learn that _____.A. Swaziland is a beautiful country in EuropeB. filmfset DC mainly showed movies of the developed countriesC. filmfest DC promoted multicultural development in some senseD. the audience could enjoy documentaries about racial problems58. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage/A. Brazilian film industry is booming nowadays.B. Some movies were related to hip-hop culture.C. A British director told of his filming experiences.D. Filmfest DC showed some movies produced in AmericaBWhen it comes to graduate schools, there are two main kinds of thoughts. The first--- led by anxious parents everywhere--- says, “Go right away! Otherwi se, you’ll forget what it’s like to be in school, and you won’t be able to study! Then you’ll never get a good job in the real world!” If this voice is the one currently pounding in your brain, tell it to be quiet and take a nap. Then, listen to the more rational side of the debate, which is often the specific advice you will get from graduate schools: most graduate students are in their late twenties, and schools like their students to have both excellent life and professional experience before pursuing a higher degree.Of course, not all graduate degrees are created equal. First, there are professional degrees(law, teaching, medicine) versus academicdegrees( literature, art, history). Some programs take only a year, and othersseem to take the rest of your life. Also, certain professions require you to have more than a master’s degree. But some fields are more willing to give a chance to young and inexperienced workers, such as yourself.Ultimately, the best thing to do is ask people who are experienced in your chosen field. Ask them if they think you’d better go to a graduate school right away, or you should wait for a while. Ask them about the best schools, and the best degree you want to get. Don’t forget to ask them if their companies ever pay for them to get more education. Frequently, a company will help you pay for it and give you flexible hours, in return for a guarantee of work for a longer period after you have graduated.Attending a graduate school should not be the last resort. It is too expensive and time-consuming to go without really knowing what you want--- at least for the time being.59. Anxious parents believe their children _____.A. should go to a graduate school immediatelyB. will enjoy themselves in a graduate schoolC. can find a very good job with a Bachelor’ degreeD. can’t learn a lot in a graduate school60. Graduate schools usually prefer students _____.A. who have won the most awardsB. who are diligent and respond quicklyC. who perform excellently in universityD. who have both life and work experience61. According to the passage, students shouldn’t _____.A. ask others for information about schools and degreesB. choose to attend a graduate school when everything else has failedC. ask others about whether they can continue studying in companiesD. ask others for advice on when it is best to continue studying62. Some companies give employees who are attending school flexible hours, hoping that employees _____.A. agree to work for the company for a long timeB. are qualified for their jobs and able to do a good jobC. feel they are badly needed in the companyD. don’t feel bored with their work63. What’s the author’s opinion according to the passage?A. Graduate schools have some negative effects on the development of students.B. It’s not wise for a university student to attend a graduate school right away.C. Students should know what they want to learn before attending a graduate school.D. Students need to study in a graduate school to enrich themselves.CNew survey It is official; the English language has become increasingly varied. BBC Voices, a survey involving 32,000 people, has discovered lots of new words. There had been concerns that regional dialects (方言) were dying out and Americanization was taken over--- happily that isn’t true!Varied words A similar survey in the 1950s found that there were 84 different regional expressions for the left-handed but now there are 240. These range from cuddly- wifter in Northumbria, molly-duckered in central Scotland, gammy in Cumbria to keggy in the east Midlands.New Cockney (新伦敦腔) Reasoning is twofold: people move about the country a lot more than in previous years and the UK has become increasingly multicultural. Study of the Cockney language has found that due to the influx (涌入) of Bangladeshi immigrants(孟加拉移民) in London’s east part, words and accents have both changed. Original Cockney has been replaced by a mixed English of Bangladeshi and British English. Howe ver, this doesn’t only happen to London. In Liverpool, a mixture of Caribbean-Scouse is becoming common, as is Cardiff-Hindi in Wales.New slangs Cockney slang is also keeping up with the times. Britney Spears is a new term for beer, and Becks and Posh for nosh (a kind of snack food).A top DJ has even inspired the title of a new film--- It’s all gone Pete Tongfor “ It’s all gone wrong.”Language changes all the time, whether it is inspired by other parts of the world. We never know what we may be saying next!64. According to the new survey, people find that _____.A. BBC Voices has lots of new wordsB. regional dialects are dying outC. American English is taking overD. English has become varied65. Why did the author take “ the left-handed” for example?A. To show the differences between different dialects.B. To give many examples of the regional expressions.C. To support the idea that dialects are not dying out.D. To present the result of the survey in the 1950s.66. The mixture of languages is the result of _____.A. people’s moving frequentlyB. Bangladeshi’s immigrating to LondonC. the UK’s traditional cultureD. New Cockney replacing Original Cockney67. The best title for the passage might be _____.A. English Words under ChangeB. Language and CultureC. Future LanguagesD. Words and ImmigrantsDA new report says 75 percent of farmland in Africa has lost nutrients needed to grow crops. The highest rates of nutrient loss are in Guinea, Congo, Angola, Rwanda and Uganda. More than sixty kilograms of nutrients per hectare are being lost each year. The study also warns that food imports to Africa will need to be increased if action is not taken at once.The international nonprofit organization IFDC released the report in NewYork City last month. The President of Nigeria headed the event. He called on African leaders, aid groups and farming organizations to support a meeting in Nigeria in June to discuss Africa’s soil crisis.The meeting would discuss ways to increase agricultural productivity across Africa. These include reductions in nutrient mining, limits on cutting of trees, less use of poor grassland and better farming methods that protect the environment. The meeting would also aim to increase the use of fertilizers (化肥) in Africa.Lack of rain is also harming the soil in Africa. The World Meteorological (气象的) Organization says dry weather conditions in East Africa will continue in April. Several of the worst affected areas have recorded their driest months since 1961. The United Nations warns that more than eleven million people in the area urgently need food assistance.The World Food Program has launched a new program that could help pay for a possible humanitarian emergency in Ethiopia this year. The U.N. agency has purchased an insurance agreement that will pay money if rainfall does not reach a certain level this year. The insurance policy is reported to have cost 930 thousand dollars. It was bought from a French insurance company. The company will pay the World Food Program about seven million dollars if rainfall between March and October in Ethiopia is below a certain level. The money would be used to get emergency aid more quickly. The chancellor of the World Food Program said the insurance program could help change how governments think about emergency aid.68. The first paragraph mainly tells us _____.A. Africans will suffer from hunger if they don’t stop soil nutrient lossB. only one forth of the farmland in Africa can be used to grow crops nowC. the soil nutrient loss in Africa is getting worse every yearD. Guinea and Uganda are suffering the highest rates of soil nutrient loss69. The meeting to be held in Nigeria _____.A. will be held by the organization IFDCB. will discuss the soil crisis in NigeriaC. will discuss how to increase crop productivity in AfricaD. will discuss how to increase nutrient mining and use of fertilizers70. Which of the following doesn’t cause the soil nutrient loss in Africa?A. Cutting trees on a large scale.B. Using bad farming methods.C. Increasing the use of the fertilizers.D. A lack of rainfall for a long time.71. According to the last paragragh, we can learn that _____.A. the World Food Program will provide free food for people when necessaryB. the U.N. agency has bought an insurance from the World Food ProgramC. the French insurance company will pay the World Food Program under certain conditionsD. the World Food Program has come to an agreement with the U.N. agency72. The best title for the passage would be_____.A. African Countries Are Facing DangersB. Measures to be taken to Fight Against Loss in Soil FertilityC. African Countries Need Humanitarian AidD. African Farmland Is Found to Be Severely InfertileESocial InfluenceOf the many influences on human behavior, social influences are the most universal. The main influence on people is people. When we hear the term social influence, most of us think of intentional attempts of someone to persuade us to change our actions or opinions. The television commercial comes to mind. But many of the most important forms of social influence are unintentional, and some of the effects we humans have on one another occur simply by means of the fact that we are in each other’s physical presence.In 1898 a psychologist(心理学家) named Triplett made an interesting observation. In looking over speed records of bicycle racers, he noticed that better speed records were achieved when cyclists raced against each other thanwhen they raced against the clock. This observation led Triplett to perform the first controlled laboratory experiment ever carried out in social psychology. He asked children to turn a wheel as fast as possible for a certain period of time. Sometimes two children worked at the same time in the same room, each with his own wheel; at other times, they worked alone. The results confirmed his theory: Children worked faster in co-action than when they worked alone.Soon after Triplet t’s experiment on co-action, it was discovered that the mere presence of a passive audience was enough to improve performance. This was discovered accidentally in an experiment by Meumann(1904). He found that the tested persons lifted a weight faster and farther whenever the psychologist was in the room. Later experiments have proved this audience effect.It appears that co-action and audience effects in humans are caused by the individual’s(个人的) “ cognitive”, that is, worries about competition and the assessment of performance that others will make. We learn as we grow up that others praise or criticize, reward or punish our performances, and this raises our drive level when we perform before others. Thus, even the early studies of co-action found that if the pressure of competition is removed, co-action effects are reduced. Similarly, audience effects are a function of the tested person’s feeling of how much he is being assessed.73. Which of the following would be an example of the co-action effect?A. Joe and his two friends work more slowly when they are together than when each is alone.B. The children finish their homework faster when their father is present than when he is not.C. Players work harder when they exercise together than when they each exercise alone.D. A woman works harder when her boss is in the room than when she is alone.74. What is the main idea of the last paragragh?A. Competition and assessment are not related to the co-action and audience effects.B. Competition and assessment increase the co-action and audience effects.C. How people grow up determines their adult behavior.D. People praise and criticize children as they grow up.75. Which of the following shows how the passage is developed?第II卷（共35分）第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节情景作文（20分）最近你们班围绕“Whom do you turn to when you in trouble?” 进行了讨论。
