My father was a man of few words. Whenever I wanted his permission for a certain activity, I planned a speech that included who would be there, where it would take place, how long it would last, and why it was an incredibly wonderful opportunity for me. He wouldlisten and then say either ―Yes‖ or ―No.‖ There were never any qualifiers; not ―Yes, but be home by dinner‖ or ―No, unless you can convince me otherwise.‖ It was yes or no, plain and simple.My fath er’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl.I was quite active in high school. Not only did I enjoy being involved in many areas, but I cameinto contact with many a great teenage guy. I can recall one busy day when I had met two great guys and had given each of them my phone number. The first words out of my mouth when I walked through the front door were, ―Dad! Did anyone call?‖ His answer, of course, was simply, ―Yes.‖ I required for a more accurate description of the caller. His answer: ―A boy.‖ Since I had met two guys that day, this did not help me. I ran to my room in tears.Knowing my dad’s dislike of language in general and his fondness for briefness, it surprised me to hear that he was going to teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Sunday school class. He did so for not one, but many years. I always wondered if he actually said anything, or if they all just sat in their chairs and stared at each other. I was sure that if people were waiting on my father to break the ice with brilliant conversation or a springboard comment, they’d be badly disappointed. Still, September after September, my father hung his sign outside the Sunday school room: Mr.Ernst--Eleven-Year-Old Boys.41. In order to get Dad to agree to the author’s outing, the author had to make up the followingEXCEPT________A.The friends I shall meet in the activity.B.The activity is a chance for anyone.C.The place where the activity is to be held.D.The time that I shall spend in the activity.42. Whe n the author says ―My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience andlong-suffering to a teenage girl‖, it means that when she was young __________.A. her father once gave her a lesson about patience and long-lasting pain.B. her father’s b rief phone messages angered her a lot but made her patient.C. she was trained to be patient and brave because of her father’s brief phone messagesD. she suffered and had to be patient because of his father’s brief phone messages.43. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase ―break the ice‖?A. make the ice crackB. stop talkingC. start a talkD. interrupt a talk44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. My father would answer me with ―Yes, but be home by dinner‖ sometimes.B. I came into contact with just a few great teenage guys because I was active in high school.C. That my father would teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Weekday school class surprised me.D. I always wanted to know how my father, who talked so little, taught the boys.45. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Man of Few Words.B. My Great Father.C. A Strange Father.D. Man for Respect.BHey there,So you’re about to spend four years of your life a nd tens of thousands of dollars of your parents’ money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun —a fter you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.* Researching Schools. To us, the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best — not the one that is the most competitive or has the best-equipped rooms.* Applying to School. On J , you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications (申请) and links to many more.* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most important parts of the admissions (录取) course. It’s not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to preparefor the best. But, if you think you can do better, find the right course for better scores.* Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.For more information, call 600-3681 or visit Johnson . Wherever you go, have a nice trip!Johnson Smith Founder and CEO Johnson Review46. How many reasons for going to college does the author mention in the text?A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 547. The author thinks you should choose the college that is ________.A. well-equippedB. competitiveC. suitableD. famous48. What does the author advise you to do to pay the high cost of college?A. To ask the family for help.B. To make a study of financial courses.C. To do research on the price of college.D. To get to know how to ask for financial aid.49. Which of the following will the author agree?A. Johnson Review can help you find the right college easier.B. The most important part for college admission is the College Test.C. It is not worth going to college nowadays in America.D. If you want to find a place to spend your holiday, visit .50. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text?A. To suggest ways to prepare for college learning.B. To help readers find the right college.C. To make Johnson Review popular.D. To introduce college life.CStarted in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training(*训练)in Harvard’s l aw school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with(涉及)special fields of learning. There’s so much to learn that one kind of sc hool can’t offer it all.51. The oldest university in the US is _________.A. HarvardB. YaleC. PrincetonD. Columbia52. From the second paragraph, we can see that in the early years,______.A. those colleges and universities were the sameB. people, young or old, might study in the collegesC. students studied only some languages and scienceD. when the students finished their school, they became lawyers or teachers53. Modern languages the Harvard taught in 1825 were ________.A. Latin and GreekB. Latin, Green, French and GermanC. American history and GermanD. French and German59. As knowledge increased, colleges began to teach_______.A. everything that was knownB. many new subjectsC. law and something about medicineD. the subjects that interested students55. On the whole, the passage is about___________.A. how to start a universityB. the world-famous colleges in AmericaC. what kind of lesson each college teachesD. how colleges have changed第二节:信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)首先请阅读以下花语:A. Red RosesRed roses, as we think of them today, are the traditional symbol for love and romance and atime-honored way to say ―I love you.‖ The red rose has long symbolized beauty and perfection, so a bouquet of red roses is the perfect way to express your deep feelings for someone special. For the budding relationship, a red rose bouquet can also signal the beginning of romantic intentions. They can send a message of commitment and an invitation to take the next step.B. CarnationsThe meanings of carnations include fascination, distinction, and love. Like many other flowers, different messages can also be expressed with the flower’s different color varieties. Light red carnations, for example, are often used to convey admiration, whereas pink carnations are often given as a sign of gratitude. Today carnations are worn and gifted worldwide on Mothers Day and have become symbolic of purity, strength and endurance of motherhood. As a custom pink carnations are worn to honor living mothers and white carnations for the deceased mothers.C. ChrysanthemumsChrysanthemums were cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC. It was named from the Greek prefix chrys-, which means golden (the color of the original flowers), and –anthemion, meaning flower. Chrysanthemums can be yellow, white or even bright red. Many flower forms are available, spoon-shaped, threadlike or spiderlike. With its special meaning―Rest‖ associated with them, chrys anthemums are one of the traditional funeral flowers which you can even convey your sincere feelings for the deceased.D. SunflowersSunflowers turn their heads towards the sun and this is how they got their common name. They originated in Central and South America. Sunflowers are not only pretty to look at but sunflower seeds are power-packed with healthy fats, protein, fiber, minerals, and vitamin E – all important to the nutritional quality of your diet.E. Purple hyacinthThe language of flowers can be found as far back as the 14th century. Every flower has a special. Purple hyacinths are a meaningful gift, perfect for expressing feelings for a friend to convey the feelings like ―You are a wonderful friend and I wish you peace, prosperity and happiness‖ or ―I am sorry. Please forgive me.‖F. Forget – me – notThe little blue Forget Me Not flower, though quite small in size, expresses sweet memories of true and faithful love, a soft cry –―Do not forget‖ the sunny and cloudy days of a deep relationship. Medicinally, this plant has a strong affinity for the respiratory organs, especially the let lower lung. In some countries, it is sometimes made into syrup and given for lung affections.再阅读以下顾客信息,然后匹配顾客与适合他们的鲜花。

ARobots make me nervous — especially the ones which seem to think for themselves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way.Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: “I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage well.A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.”Well, maybe I don’t have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There’s a terrible thought!Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we’ve seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That’s what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals, the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have as its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Because it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you.It’s a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics. They state that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm.I’m glad my machines at home are “dumb”. All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room. Let’s hope they don’t create an appliance which wants to take over the world!1. The author quoted Bill Gates’words in Paragraph 2 in order to make the text ____________.A. better-knownB. more persuasiveC. better-organizedD. mor e interesting2. An intelligent paperclip machine would harm us because _____________.A. it is much cleverer than usB. it would take over the worldC. it would see us just as materialD. it has the strong feeling of destroying us3. How does the author feel about Isaac Asimov’s rules of robotics?A. Optimistic.B. Sympathy.C. Disappointed.D. Regretful.BWe know the famous ones — the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells — but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)? Shouldn’t we know who they are?Joan Mclean think so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who”invented “what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to Mclean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of Mclean’ statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper’s invention,”said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currentlynegociating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn’t be a b uilt-in device for cleaning t he window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It’s hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan’s traffic light. It’s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett’s innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?4. By mentioning “traffic light”and “windshield wiper”, t he aut hor indicates that countless inventions are _____________.A. beneficial, because their inventors are famousB. beneficial, though their inventors are less famousC. not useful, because their inventors are less famousD. not useful, though their inventors are famous5. Professor Joan Mcl ean’s course aims to _____________.A. add colour and variety to students’ campus lifeB. inform students of the winds hield wiper’s inventionC. carry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityD. prepare students to try their own invention6. Tommy Lee’s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _____________.A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiperC. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD. not related to Professor Joan McLean’s lectures7. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?C. Shouldn’t We Know Who Invent ed the Windshield Wiper?D. Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?CSeptember is an exciting month in every college fresh man’s life. For many, it’s the first time that they’ve left home to live in a new environment. But after the hustle and bustle(喧嚣)of a few weeks, excitement gives way to a less enjoyable emotion—homesickness.Homesickness manifests(显露)itself in many ways. You may miss mum’s cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. All this becomes a fond memory of the past. Homesickness can be a bitter feeling for many students, especially when faced with the challenges of settling into an unfamiliar environment.But reme mber, you’re not alone. According to a recent BBC article, 70 percent of British college students experience homesickness. In this increasingly globalized world in which people migrate to faraway places for a relationship, education or work, homesickness is a feeling shared by many adults.Homesickness can have similar symptoms to depression and in extreme cas es it can develop into a panic attack. As for the term, homesickness or nostalgia wasn’t invented until the 17th century. It was considered a disor der by a Swiss physician, who attributed soldiers’ mental and physical discomfort to their longing to return home, “nostos” from Greek, and the accompany ing pain, “algos”.Studies in recent years, however, have shown that nostalgia may have some benefits to our mental health. After a decade of surveys and researches, Constantine Sedikides, a US social psychologist, found that nostalgia is what makes us human. He explains that nostalgia can resist loneliness, boredom and anxiety. Therefore, it’s necessary f or college students to learn some ways to overcome the uncomfortable feeling.8. From the first two paragraphs, we can infer that _____________.A. homesickness means a fond memory of the pastB. only a few students will experience homesicknessC. homesickness is an enjoyable emotion among freshmenD. college freshmen usually suffer from homesickness after weeks9. According to the passage, we can know that _____________.A. homesickness may cause mental diseasesB. homesickness is a feeling only shared by adultsC. homesickness won’t do any good to our healthD. homesickness is also called nostalgia in Switzerland10. The attitude of Sedikides towards homesickness is _____________.A. negativeB. supportiveC. doubtfulD. critical11. What is the best title for the passage?A. Let’s accept homesicknessB. How to fit in wi th the college lifeC. A harmful emotion—homesicknessD. The disadvantages of homesicknessDA child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced an d mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two - headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiarthat I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl -friend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.12. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.A . repeated without any change B. treated as a jokeC. made some changes by the parentD. set in the present13. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.A. in a realistic settingB. heard for the first timeC. repeated too oftenD. t old in a different way14.The advantage claimed for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.A. makes them less fearfulB. develops their power of memoryC. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid ofD. encourages them not to have strange beliefs15. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.A. they are full of absurd imaginationB. they just make up the stories which are far from the truthC. they are not interestingD. they make teachers of history difficult to teach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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

My nephew's 10-year-old son came for a visit one hot,July weekend. I persuaded him to 1inside and joined him in a game. After2for an hour, I suggested that we relax fora while. I fell into my favorite recliner(躺椅)to let my neck muscles relax. He'd slipped outof the room and I was catching a few enjoyable moments of peace and quiet."Look,Alice,”he said3as he ran over to the chair where I was sitting"I found akite. Could we go outside and 4it?"Glancing out a nearby window, I noticed it was5outside.“I'm sorry, Tripper,.” Isaid, sad to see his 6eyes. "The wind is not blowing t oday.

Heran back and forth,as hard as his ten year-old legs would carry him, looking back10atthe kite behind. After about ten minutes of unsuccessful determination, he came back in.I asked, "How did it go?""Fine,”he said, not wanting to admit 11.“I got it to fly some”As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under hisbreath, "I guess I'll have to wait for the12.”At that moment I heard another V oice speak to my 13. "Alice, sometimes you arejust like that. You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the Wind.,,And the voice was right. We usually want to use our own efforts to 14what we wantto do.

2020-2021学年佛山市第一中学高三英语第二次联考试卷及答案第一部分阅读(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ADuring ancient times, children didn’t have smartphones, iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet. In 1999, the sport was included in the 6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite , Weifang kite and Nantong kite, of which each has distinctive features. The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him or, more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center. By juggling(边抛边接) the diabolo on the rope, the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle. Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game, especially popular in North China. Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产).1.Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A.To practice their feet.B.To warm themselves.C.To train their skills.D.To relax themselves.2.Which kites are swallow-shaped?A.Weifang kites.B.Tianjin kites.C.Beijing kites.D.Nantong kites.3.Why does playing diabolos make a sound?A.Because the diabolo’s center is empty.B.Because the high-speed spinning diabolo is light.C.Because the diabolo is equipped with a whistle.D.Because ropes’ surface moves against the diabolo’s.BSalad plants have already been grown in old sheltersand tunnels. Urban farming is a regular topic of interest at places like the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, where leaders consider whether the world's food system, blamed for causing both obesity and malnutrition, can be fixed. There are already plenty of urban farming projects around the world, particularly in the US, Japan and the Netherlands, from urban fish and plant farms to vertical farming.“It's becoming an expanding industry,” said Richard Ballard, one of the founders of the farm Growing Underground. “There're several other businesses starting up in London in containers, and there are other vertical farms around the country now.”Growing Underground is not a standard farm. The rows of crops could be in almost any tunnel, but these plants are 100 feet below Clapham High Street and show that urban agriculture is, in some cases at least, nota fad. The underground farm has occupied a part of the Second World War air-raid shelters for nearly five years, and Ballard is planning to expand into the rest of the space later this year.Growing Underground supplies herb and salad mixes to grocery shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Being in London creates an advantage, Ballard says, as they can harvest and deliver in an hour.He adds other advantages. Being underground means temperatures never go below 15★surface greenhouses need to be heated. They can do more harvests: 60 crops a year, compared with about seven in a traditional farm. Electricity to power the lights is a major cost, but the company believes renewable energy will become cheaper.Similar British companies include the Jones Food Company in Lincolnshire, while in the US AeroFarms has several projects in New Jersey, and Edenworks in Brooklyn.4. What do we know about urban farming?A. It leads to a healthier lifestyle.B. It is rarely discussed at the WEF.C. Different farming methods are used.D. Local governments pay efforts to develop it.5. Which of the following best explains "a fad" underlined in Paragraph 3?A. A dream that's easy to realize.B. A field controlled for a long time.C. An approach to a serious problem.D. A fashion that’s popular for a short time.6. What can we learn about the underground farm?A. It is more productive than a traditional farm.B. It provides food directly to the customers.C. Its major products are herbs and salads.D. It uses less energy than a greenhouse.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Current food system causes health problemsB. Growing Underground attracts more peopleC. Traditional farming will be replaced soonD. Urban farming isstill thought costly and time-consumingCThe air is thin and we have to rest several times on the shore hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we stay here.Tibetan antelopes live mainly on the plains of Tibet. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I'm struck by their beauty. I'm also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted illegally for their valuable fur.My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a safe place for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We're not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we're trying to save ourselves.”In the 1980s and 1990s the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make money. Their living places were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.In order to save Tibetan antelopes, the Chinese government placed them under national protection. Zhaxi and volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope wasremovedfrom the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection program since the threat to the Tibetan antelope has not yet disappeared. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.8. What can we learn from Zhaxi's words in paragraph 3?A. Protecting the animals can make money.B. Protecting the animals is protecting ourselves.C. He is not fond of protecting the animals.D. The reserve is only safe for wild animals.9. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?A. Why hunters hunt Tibetan antelopes.B. Why antelopes' living places changed.C. Why antelopes' number dropped greatly.D. Why the 1980s and the 1990s are unusual.10. What does the underlined word “removed” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Deleted.B. Changed.C. Migrated.D. Recognized.11. What might be the future condition of Tibetan antelopes according to the last paragraph?A. They will be over-populated.B. They will be a threat to man and other wildlife.C. They will be on the endangered species list again.D. They will be in harmony with nature and humans.DMany of us in China enjoy adding chilies (辣椒) toour food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-oldUSman recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper—the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following few days, reported BBC News.In fact, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But if chilies are harmful, why is it that human beings are the only animals to eat this vegetable? According to the website Huanqiu, about 600 million Chinese people—almost half of the national population—are chili eaters. So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body reacts to the burning feeling that comes from eating chilies by releasing natural chemicals that “produce a sense of happiness” , noted BBC News.And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The number decreased to 14 percent for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. And another study done by theUniversityofVermontcame to a similar conclusion. “The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and reduce death risk at an early age,” Liu Qi, a nutritionist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, told BBC News.Chilies have anti-cancer quality and the ability to increase our metabolism (新陈代谢). So, don't worry if youlove spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us—except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps.12. The example of a 34-year-old American is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to prove ________.A. chiliescan be beneficialB. chilies are popular inAmericaC. chilies can be dangerousD. serious headaches can be dangerous13. Eating chilies gives people a sense of happiness by_______.A. decreasing death rateB. releasing natural chemicalsC. curing serious headachesD. providing enough nutrition14. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Human are the only animals to eat chilies.B. Stomachache and headaches caused by chilies is something unusual.C. The more chilies you eat, the healthier you are.D. Chilies have anti-cancer quality but it can't increase our metabolism.15. The writer wrote the passage to ________.A. warn people of the dangers of chiliesB. ask people to eat Carolina ReaperC. encourage people to eat more chiliesD. tell people the benefits of chilies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。

Traveling from one city or country to another can contribute to the spread of disease. When people arrive in a 1 place, they may bring in germs(病菌) that were not 2 before. The people there have no natural protection against these new germs, so they catch the disease more 3 . Because it is unfamiliar, health workers may not 4 it, and may not take any measures to stop it from 5 . People with the disease may continue to have 6 with others. In this way, the germs travel from person to person through the population.Heating and cooling systems can also be a 7 of disease. They tend to collect dirt and water, which creates the perfect 8 for germs to grow. Then when the air conditioner is turned on, the germs are blown into the home or office and make people sick. This 9 was first recognized by scientists in July 1976.Pollution of the 10 can also be a factor in spreading disease. The pollution may be caused by 11 used in farming that are washed into rivers, and then into the ocean. Or it may be human waste that is dumped 12 into the ocean with no processing. These chemicals or human waste results in the 13 of tiny plants called algae(海藻). They provide an ideal home for a deadly 14 called cholera. When a ship passes through the algae, some of it may stick to the ship’s bottom, along with some of the cholera germs. These germs then travel with the ship around the world, 15 diseases that may kill thousands of people.1. A. new B. familiar C. particular D. famous2. A. strange B. special C. present D. noticeable3.

Bach, the famous composer. He attended Long Beach State College in 1955.As an airplane pilot, Bach got married to his first wife and had six children, but divorced later and then left his family because he didn’t believe in marriage. Everything concerning airplane was his field, including an aviation (航空) technical writer and flight instructor.Though aviation was his true love, Bach always wanted to write. During his high school years, one of his teachers made him realize his potential. In 1959 he had this idea of a bird learning to pass beyond the walls of limitations—Jonathan Livingston Seagull. In almost all his books he used airplanes as a way to pass the message. In Running from Safety, Bach shares with us his childhood: at age 8, he lost one of his brothers: Bobby.In 1970, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a story about a seagull who flew for the sake of flying rather than merely to catch food, was published by Macmillan Publishers after the manuscript (手稿) was turned down by many other publishers. The book, which included unique photos of seagulls in flight, became a best-seller. In 1973, the book was turned into a movie. It’s said that Bach charged the production with changing the movie without his perm ission. In fact, those who saw the movie noticed that his name wasn’t mentioned.26.About Richard Bach, we know from the passage that________.A.his grandson was a famous composerB.he stayed with his family all the timeC.he began to study in college at age 19D.he majored in music in college27.Bach used to be all the following EXCEPT ________.A. a pilotB. a writerC. an instructorD. a fighter28. Who probably led Richard Bach to his writing career?A. His familyB. His teacherC. His publisherD. His brother29. What do we know about Jonathan Livingston Seagull?A. It took Richard Bach a year to finish it.B. It tells about Richard Bach’s childhood.C. It is about a pilot’s experiences in flig ht.D. The idea for the book dates back to 1959.30. We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.A. few publishers thought highly of the manuscript at firstB. Jonathan Livingston Seagull was turned into a movie five years after it was publishedC. Bach didn’t agree to turn the book into a movie.D. the movie Jonathan Livingston Seagull made Bach rich.BTexting long messages can be a pain in the neck. The repetitive action of working your fingers across the keyboard of your cell phone can cause some of the same chronic (慢性的) pain problems previously limited to those who’d spent a lifetime typing.The possible connection is particularly worrying considering how much teens and young adults — and increasingly those in professional settings —are texting nowadays, said Judith Gold, who carried out one of the first studies on the potential connection.Text messaging is a fairly new technology, Gold says, so this is a new area of research for those who study ergonomics (人类工程学). But “considering the similarities in body position,findings from research on overuse injuries from computers could be applicable” to texting.“The way the body is positioned for texting – fixed shoulders and back with rapidly moving fingers – is similar to the position for typing on a computer,” Gold expl ained. Previous research has found pain in the elbow connected with too much thumb texting.To look for a broader link between texting and chronic pain, Gold and her colleagues sent a questionnaire to 138 college students, asking them to report the number of text messages they sent per day (in four categories: 0, 1-10, 11-20, 21+ messages) and to point out any discomfort they felt on a body map.The research showed an association between the number of text messages sent per day and shoulder discomfort. The effect seemed to be particularly pronounced in males, though Gold says she doesn’t know why that would be.“What we’ve seen so far is very similar to what we see with office workers who’ve spent most of their time at a computer,” Gold said. However, Gold’s study did not take account of the amount of time the people surveyed also spent typing on computers, which could be affecting the results.31.In the past, who usually suffered from a pain in the neck according to the passage?A. A writerB. A typistC. A teacherD. A doctor32. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 6 refers to the fact that _______.A. office workers easily suffer from the body discomfortB. men like to text messages moreC. text messaging causes body discomfortD. males have more shoulder discomfort33. The passage mainly tells us _______.A. what ergonomics isB. texting too much causes a pain in the neckC. whether texting is beneficial or notD. the connection between texting and typing34. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. the study was the first one carried out by GoldB. one positions oneself differently from computer-users when textingC. the amount of computer-use time was calculated in the surveyD. the result of the survey was not 100% convincing35. In which column in the newspaper can you find the passage?A. FashionB. EducationC. HealthD. EntertainmentCYou know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that th ere is. Don’t let jealousy spoil your relationships. Tackle it head-on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you’ll have t o do just that. Don’t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you’ve been feeling like there’s been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn’t get to spend any time with you because of your being off with you r new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise. Don’t limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work outa compromise. If you can’t, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won’t.36. According to the author, the jealousy emotion is________.A. normalB. productiveC. destructiveD. extreme37. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to face your friend when jealousy happens?A. Walking up to him/her and asking him/her why he/she is jealous of you.B. Walking up to him/her and asking him/her what the problem is.C. Spending some time with him/her and letting him/her know how you feel.D. Spending some time with him/her and letting him/her know you think there’s something between you.38. The underlined “it” in the first paragraph refers to________.A. friendshipB. relationshipC. admirationD. jealousy39. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. There’s always a solution to solve the problem of jealousy.B. Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.C. You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or self development.D. You should go a long way with your friend to work out a solution40. The purpose of the passage is________.A. to explain what causes jealousyB. to offer some advice on making friendsC. to introduce the way to cope with a jealous friendD. to explain how destructive the jealous emotion isDOne of the world's richest men has taken a close interest in one of man's most basic functions: visiting the toilet.Bill Gates’ charitable organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is looking for inventors to design the loo of the future, which, they hope, would improve sanitation(公共环境卫生)for millions of people around the world.So, what's wrong with the traditional flush toilet? Firstly, it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water.Secondly, they are more likely to cause pollution.This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world, where, according to United Nations’ estimates, unsafe sa nitation causes half of all hospitalizations.Younger people are particularly at risk.Illnesses which cause diarrhea (腹泻) are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year.Finally, standard toilets simply aren't practical in remote areas.The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine which works without running water, electricity or aseptic tank.It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents.28 designs were displayed at the recent event of the Toilet Fair in Seattle, USA.Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves, another which changed human waste into charcoal, and yet another which used urine (尿) for flushing.But the winner was a solar-powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity.The team from the California Institute of Technology (CIT) picked up a prize of $ 100,000.But clearly Bill Gates doesn't feel he's flushing money down the toilet.After the Seattle event he said, “We couldn't be happier with the response we've gotten," Gates has even promised $370 million more to the future toilet project.They hope to field test more prototypes (雏形) over the next three years.41. Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?A. Because he wants to test people's sense of creativity.B. Because he wants to improve sanitation for many people.C. Because he thinks the traditional ones are out of fashion.D. Because he can't design this kind of things himself.42. Which of the following is NOT a problem with the traditional flush toilet?A. They waste too much water.B. They might cause diseases.C. They are not always practical.D. They are too complicated to use.43. The underlined word "latrine" in the third paragraph might have similar meaning to the word "_______ " in the text.A. looB. sanitationC. diarrheaD. prototype44. The team from CIT won the prize because their design _______ .A. can change human waste into electricityB. can turn human waste into charcoalC. can produce power with solar energyD. can use urine for flushing45. If people "flush money down the toilet", they are _______.A. showing off their wealthB. angry with their working conditionsC. wasting money for nothingD. expressing their great determination第二节:信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面文段和相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。

AThe International Voluntary Service runs a number of Youth Exchanges throughout the year. Youth Exchanges give small groups of 4-5 young people the opportunity to take part in volunteering trips abroad for an average of two weeks. These young people are joined by 4-5 young people from 3-4 other nationalities and are a wonderful intercultural experience in a safe environment.Example Youth Exchanges:Youth Exchange 1Location:IrelandOther nationalities:Ireland, Spain, Italy, HungaryTheme: Focuses on the topic of community reconstruction and community activities —exploring how local issues facing our communities are connected to global issues. The group will also learn about the eco-village as an example of a community and take part in team-building activities.Youth Exchange 2Location: FranceOther nationalities: Bulgaria, Italy, FranceTheme:Organic gardening & continual living. This project will take place in a natural park, where the group will take part in gardening activities and games / workshops about continuous development.Youth Exchange 3Location: MacedoniaOther nationalities: Serbia, Turkey, IrelandTheme: Foster (培养) social inclusion and motivate personal development of young people through sports and outdoor activities. Promote outdoor activities as a tool to help inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities.Youth Exchange 4Location: ItalyOther nationalities: Italy, Bulgaria, GreeceTheme: A social-environmental project that intends to promote social inclusion and continuous development, regarded as a process of civil rights and active citizenship. Over 10 days, the group will participate in activities to raise awareness about the effect of our behavior on the environment.1. What do you focus on when traveling in France?A. Gardening workB. Civil rightsC. Developing social inclusion.D. Rebuilding communities2. If you are interested in protecting the environment, you can take part in ______.A. Youth Exchange 1B. Youth Exchange 2C. Youth Exchange 3D. Youth Exchange 43.Which nationality are Youth Exchanges most popular with?A. SpainB. ItalyC. IrelandD. FranceBAs anyone who freelances (做自由职业) knows, there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too, like the potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them.On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch.This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the working day. ”So Hoffice is not just about sharing space;it's also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.4. Hoffice was started to________.A. change people’s attitude to workB. encourage people to be more socialC. improve people’s working conditionsD. provide a co-working space for free5. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. How people respond to Hoffice.B. How a Hoffice day works.C. What people share at Hoffice.D. What Hoffice means to people.6. Some freelancers’descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they________.A. benefit a lot from the working styleB. work longer than beforeC. expect more people to join themD. can’t be separated from each other7. What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?A. It is becoming increasingly popular.B. It has been around for quite a few years.C. It has created many new job opportunities.D. It is suitable for people from all walks of life.CBillboard Music Awards of the Year 2015 goes to Taylor Swift, a singer-songwriter, who has shaped and inspired the American music industry with her success.When Taylor Swift first came to public notice, she was a 17-year-old newcomer who loved singing to her own guitar. She was far more enthusiastic than skilled, but apparently threw spark of superb talent.Four years later, Swift has become a multi-awards winner, with the biggest selling albums. For her consummate performance, Taylor Swift was named Billboard magazine’s woman in 2011. She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Awards, among them Top Country Album for the five-time platinum (白金) selling Speak Now, her third album that was released that year.“Taylor has shown the power of good songwriting with music of styles.” said Bill Werde, Billboard’s editorial director, “And at such a young age, Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for promising artists and young woman everywhere.”Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started. She followed that up in 2008 with Fearless, which established her as a skilled songwriter with several hits, including Love Story, You Belong With Me and White Horse. Not surprisingly, the 6-time platinum Fearless is the most awarded album in country music history in the US and her overall worldwide sales now reach 20 million albums and 40 million songs downloads. Swift has spent the past year on the Speak NOW World Tour in support of h er third album, and now she’s getting ready to go further.According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine, Swift has so far written about 10 songs for a 2016 album. She said the new album is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.“They’re sad if I'm being honest.” Swift told The New Yorker. “They’re about my heartbreaks and my moving on. But more importantly, they are about achieving contentment. You’re not always going to be ridiculously happy as you grow up. ”8. As a newcomer in the show business, Taylor Swift was considered to be_______.A. a skilled songwriterB. an outstanding artistC. an energetic directorD. a promising talent9. The underlined word “consummate” in Paragraph 3 can be st be replaced by______.A. confidentB. professionalC. excellentD. different10.What can we learn from the passage?A. Speak Now is Taylor Swift’s third album.B. Fearless marked the beginning of Swift’s career.C. Swift’s new album is about feelings of grown-ups.D. Swift has gained Billboard magazine’s woman twice.11. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A Rising Music GeniusB. Taylor’s Heartbreaks in GrowthC. An Interview with Taylor SwiftD. Billboard Music Awards in AmericaDIf asked if space exploration should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no value. Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASN) missions, and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many technologies it provides., The artificial (人造的) heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents resulted from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation (隔热板) in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as those technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.12. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A. By offering analyses.B. By making comparisons.C. By giving some examples.D. By presenting research findings.13. The function of Jaws of Life is to_____.A. save people from traffic accidents.B. do experiments on the space shuttleC. keep houses warm and energy efficientD. separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets.14. In the author’s opinion, space exploration______.A. has changed our life completelyB. costs too much of our timeC. benefits us in many waysD. has nothing to do with us15. What would be the best title for the text?A. Benefits of space explorationB. Is space exploration worth the cost?C. How to make space exploration affordableD.

广东佛山市第一中学2014届高三级第三次模拟考试英语2高考英语2014-05-29 1306(CThe Japanese believe that a person has two souls, each necessary. One is the “gentle” soul; the other is the “rough” soul. Sometimesthe person uses his gentle soul; sometimes he must use his rough soul. He does not favor his “gentle” soul; neither does he fight his “rough” soul. Human nature in itself is good, Japanese philosophers insist, and a human being does not need to fight any part of himself. He has only to learn how to use each soul properly at the appropriate times. Virtue for the Japanese consists in fulfilling one’s obligations to others. Happy endings, either in life or in fiction, are neither necessary nor expected, since the fulfillment of duty provides the satisfying end, whatever the tragedy it inflicts (遭受,承受). And duty includes a person’s obligations to those who have conferred benefits upon him and to himself as an individual of honor. He develops through this double sense of duty a self-discipline which is at once permissive and rigid, depending on the area in which it is functioning.The process of acquiring this self-discipline begins in childhood. A Japanese child is given his own identity very early! If I were to define in a word the attitude of the Japanese toward their children I would put it in one succinct (简洁的) word –“respect”. Love? Yes, abundance of love, warmly expressed from the moment he is put to his mother’s breast. For mother and child this nursing of her child is important psychologically.Rewards are frequent, a bit of candy bestowed ( 给予) at the right moment, an inexpensive toy…As the time comes to enter school, however, discipline becomes firmer. To bring shame to the family is the greatest shame for the child.What is the secret of the Japanese teaching of self-discipline? It lies, I think, in the fact that the aim of all teaching is the establishment of habit. Rules are repeated over, and continuallypracticed until obedience becomes instinctive. This repetition is enhanced by the expectation of the elders. They expect a child toobey and to learn through obedience. The demand is gentle at firstand tempered to the child’s tender age. It is no less gentle as time goes on, but certainly it is increasingly inexorable (不可阻挡的).51. The main purpose of the passage is to discuss_________.A. the belief system of the Japanese peopleB. Japanese view of happinessC. Japanese view of dutyD. self-discipline of the Japanese people52. What can be inferred according to the Japanese belief system?A. Some people have two different souls.B. Some people are born evil.C. One should try to achieve the happy ending.D. Duty is central in Japanese view of virtue.53. In the teaching of self-discipline the Japanese emphasize_________.A. obligations to one’s family and relations.B. early tolerant training combined with restrictive movementC. heavy external (外界的) control including strict punishmentD. a permissive atmosphere almost until adulthood54. How do the Japanese teach their children of self-discipline?A. They lie to their children about the benefit of self-discipline.B. They develop th eir children’s habit of obedience through various teachings.C. They rely on the important role of schools.D. They use rewards to set good samples of self-discipline.55. What does the underlined word “It”in the last sentence refer to?A. The demand.B. The age.C. The obedience.D. The establishment.第二节信息匹配(共5小题:每小题2分,满分2014分)请阅读下面应用文和相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。
