湖北省黄冈中学2021年高三5月第三次模拟考试英语试题

湖北省黄冈中学2021年高三5月第三次模拟考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择More cycling, better public transport and car bans… Places all over the world are taking a range of measures to lower traffic pollution.ParisParis bans cars in many historic central districts on weekends, places odd-even(单双日制的) bans on vehicles, makes public transport free during major pollution events and encourages car-sharing programs. A long section of the right bank of the river. Seine is now car-free and a monthly ban on cars has come into force along the Champs-Elysees.The NetherlandsPoliticians want to ban the sale of all petrol cars from 2025, allowing only electric of hydrogen vehicles. The new law will allow anyone who already owns a petrol car to continue using it. Most cities encourage bicycle use.FreiburgFreiburg in Germany has 500km of bike routes and a cheap and efficient public transport system. One town, Vauban, forbids people to park near homes and makes car-owners pay 18,000 for a space on the edge of town. In return for living without a car, people are offered cheaper housing, free public transport, and plentiful bicycle spaces.CuritibaThe southern Brazilian city of two million people has one of the biggest and lowest-cost bus systems in the world. Nearly 70% of its people go to work by public transport and the result is pollution-free air and traffic-free streets.CopenhagenCopenhagen prioritizes(优先考虑) bikes over cars and now has more cycles than people. The city calculates that one mile on a bike is worth $0.42 to society, while one mile in a car is a $0.2 loss. Large parts of the Danish capital have been closed to vehicles for decades. 1．What will happen in Paris during major pollution events?A．Historic central districts won’t a llow cars in.B．People can take public transport free of charge.C．Car-sharing programs will raise money publicly.D．People must obey the old-even traffic restrictions.2．From 2025, the Netherlands will ___________.A．put 500km of bike routes into full useB．completely forbid the use of petrol carsC．only allow the sale of electric or hydrogen vehiclesD．own the biggest and lowest-cost bus system in the world3．What does Vauban forbid its people to do?A．Park their cars around their homes.B．Sell or buy parking spaces.C．Occupy bicycle spaces.D．Go to work by car.4．Which of the following cities attach great importance to cycling?A．Park and Curitiba.B．Paris and Freiburg.C．Curitiba and Copenhagen.D．Freiburg and Copenhagen.“A room without books is like a body without a soul,” observed the Roman philosopher, Cicero. It can also be a sign of financial problems to come. New research has uncovered a strong connection between the earning of adults and whether they grew up surrounded by books as children.Three economists at the University of Padua—Giorgio Brunello, Guglielmo Weber and Christoph Weiss—studied 6000 men born in nine European countries and concluded that children with access to books could expect to earn more money than those who grew up with few or no books.They studied the period from 1920 to 1956, when school reforms saw the minimum school leaving age raised across Europe. They booked at whether, at the age of 10, a child lived in a house with fewer than 10 books, a shelf of books, a bookcase with up to 100 books, two bookcases, or more than two bookcases.Over the period studied, the research, published in The Economic Journal, found that an additional year of education increased a man’s average lifetime earnings by 9%. Men brought up in houses with less than a shelf of books earned only 5% more as a result of the extra year’seducation, compared with 21% more for those who had access to a lot of books. And those who had access to books were more likely to move to the better-earning opportunities in cities than those without books. The men’s first job was also much more likely to be a white-collar job.The economists offer a number of theories for the results. “Perhaps books matter because they encourage children to read more and reading can have positive effects on school performance,” they said.The number of books in children’s homes can effectively predict their cognitive(认知的) test scores. This may indicate a home that encourages cognitive skills, which are important for economic success in life.5．Why did author mention Cicero’s words in the first paragraph?A．To make an argument. B．To introduce the topic.C．To express his own views. D．To arouse readers’ interest.6．What can we learn about the people studied by the researchers?A．They were tracked by researchers since age 10.B．They all left school because of school reforms.C．They came from several different countries.D．They are now white-collar professionals.7．How does the author show the results of the research?A．By listing numbers.B．By providing examples.C．By following the order of time.D．By following the order of importance.8．What is the main conclusion to the research?A．Homes without books are vulnerable（脆弱）to financial problems.B．Families that can afford books raise successful children.C．Boy who love reading books earn more than girls.D．Children who live with books earn more as adults.While music has value all by itself, researchers have long noticed that musicians also tend to be better at learning languages and show other improved reading and math abilities. Now a new study from the University of Washington by Christina Zhao shows that rhythm is an important bridge between music and speech as early as nine months of age.Researchers randomly placed babies into two groups of 20 each, and each group played at the lab with their parents for a dozen 15-minute sessions over a month.In one group, researchers played recordings of songs with a waltz rhythm and showed the parents how to help their babies tap out that 1-2-3 beat in time with the music on boy drums or with their feet. In the other group, children played with typical toys and no music.The babies in the music group were better able to detect random mistakes in that rhythm when they heard it within two weeks of the last session. They also showed a stronger brain response to disruptions in the rhythm. For example, researchers would sometimes alter the timing of syllables(音节) by slightly shortening the middle sound of a word like bibbi to make it bibi—and the babies with music training were more likely to notice it.In other words, music training not only improved the babies’ ability to notice when a musical rhythm skipped a beat, but also improved their ability to notice when the rhythms of speech changed unexpectedly, an important skill for learning to talk.The study reflects Zhao’s personal experiences as a pianist who music in college, and as someone who speaks both Mandarin and English. She noticed that a lot of her fellow musicians were also good at lear ning other languages. “That really got me wondering how these two are related, “Zhao said.9．What can we learn about the new study?A．It included twenty babies.B．The babies were grouped by age.C．It was carried out in form of lab tests.D．The two groups were offered different types of music.10．According to the last paragraph, Christina Zhao ________.A．will carry on with this studyB．is good at discovering hidden connectionsC．is willing to share her personal experiencesD．began learning different languages during childhood11．Which is the best title for the text?A．Music Learners’ Advantages Over Language LearnersB．An Important Bridge Between Music and BabiesC．Researchers Prove Music’s Influence on BabiesD．Music Skills May Help Babies Learn LanguagesAmericans always attach great weight to the business of the country. President Coolidge’s statement, “the business of America is business.” Still points to an important truth today—that business institutions have more prestige(威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige?One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly (垄断、垄断者) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers’ dollar, they cannot afford to tr eat them like inferiors(下属) or slaves.A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believes, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, than democracy in preserving freedom.Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternation to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore world as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity in America rather than the aristocratic(贵族的) idea of inherited privilege in many other countries12．The statement “The business of America is business” probably means “_______”. A．the business institutions in American are concerned with commerce(商业) B．business problems are of great importance to the American governmentC．business is of primary concern to AmericansD．America is a great power in world business13．Who can benefit from the business competition?A．Honest businessmen.B．People with ideas of equality and freedom.C．Both businessmen and their customers.D．Both business institutions and government.14．Government is believed to differ unusually from business because government is characterized by ________.A．its absolute control of powerB．its function in preserving personal freedomC．its role in protecting basic American valuesD．its democratic way of exercising leadership15．It can be concluded from the passage that the author believes ________. A．Americans are more ambitious than people in other countriesB．in many countries, success often depends on one’s social statusC．American businesses are more democratic(民主的) than those in other countries D．businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America二、七选五Organic exercise is a good fit for people looking to train functionally. It is defined as exercise that is similar to the type of physical activity performed by ancient hunter-gatherer ancestors. Organic exercise is generally preformed in natural or outdoor settings. 16．Organic exercise may include such activities as walking, jogging, swimming, hiking or rock climbing.When it comes to organic exercise, one of its most significant benefits is its limited reliance on equipment. 17．Going for a jog, walking, or even hiking does not require tools, weights, or even hiking does not require tools, weights, or other products, and therefore, is fairly inexpensive.Since the types of activity emphasized in organic exercise programs are similar to those performed as part of daily life, they do not require extensive or long amounts of practice to obtain proficiency(精通). 18．Therefore the type of activity recommended in an organic workout routine can be performed by beginning or advanced exercisers alike with relative ease.While the type of exercise recommended in an organic workout may be easy enough toperform, the intensity at which it is recommended can be too much for some individuals. 19．Individuals who are new to exercise or suffer from a chronic health condition that limits their physical ability may find it difficult to perform exercise that is especially strenuous.20．Individuals who are new to exercise may want to talk with their health care provider before choosing this type of activity. In some cases, it may be better to start off with a more traditional workout and slowly transition to organic exercise than starting with this regimen(养生法)right off the bat.A．Weigh both the benefits and drawbacks.B．In fact, it can be done nearly anywhere, any time.C．Therefore it requires very little helping equipment.D．Choosing the right types of organic exercise is important.E.Most adults already know how to hike, swim or dig, for example.F.In fact, one of the biggest drawbacks is the emphasis on high-intensity exercise.G.While organic exercise may be a good choice for some, it is right for all adults.三、完形填空When I was a boy growing up, we lived across a river from the main road next to a set of rail road tracks.

For example, regular and frequent exercise boosts our immune system and makes us look and feel better. As well as this, it may bring people mental well-being through reducing pressure and promoting self-confidence. Besides, doing exercise is also a good way to make friends and enrich our leisure time, which contributes to the stability of the society.Let's play sports第二节：One possible version:The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help. With great efforts, he fought his way in the snow for hours but couldn't find anyone in sight. He had no choice but to follow his tracks and returned to his snow cave, because without shelter,he could die that night. On the third day, Nicholas again went out in search of help. He had walked for about two miles when a volunteer searcher spotted him. After two days stuck in the snow. Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived the snowstorm if he hadn't watched Grylls' survival show Man vs. Wild. In each programme of Man vs. Wild, Grills isabandonedin a wild area and has to find his way out. Whatever the situation is, Grylls will remain calm and then e up with some good ideas. That's where Nicholas learned the tips that saved his life. When Grylls himself heard about Nicholas'amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone else how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.听力原文Text 1W: Look at my new car!M: That’s not a car. It’s a toy, and you’re still taking the bus to school.W: Well, it’s a model of the car I’m going to buy when I get my first job. It helps me want to work harder.Text 2W: This is the same block we drove down two minutes ago. You’re lost.M: I’m not. You just wrote down the wrong address. Let’s just park and walk toward that tall building. Surely someone on the road can point the way.Text 3M: pared with the yellow one, you look more beautiful in this white skirt.W: Thank you. I like the white one better. But how much will you charge me?M: It costs $100, but I’d like to take off 30%, and that’s it.Text 4W: Is this your lake house? I pictured something larger, like a hotel.M: Sorry to disappoint you. I haven’t been here since I was a child. I have a totally different memory of it.W: It’s fine. I think it’ll be great for the reunion if we clean it up a bit.Text 5M: Every morning, I eat an egg at 7:00, brush my teeth at 7:05, leave my house at 7:15, and ride my bike to the subway.W: Do you have to do everything at the same time every day? Sounds like you need to relax…Text 6M: The floor looks super clean. Did you call the cleaning pany?W: Nope. My foot is broken. I stay at home. So I did it myself.M: With a broken foot? Was that a good idea?W: Don’t worry, Dave.M: You could have called Brenda. She would have done it for you.W: I’m not asking your little sister to clean my floors, Dave. Anyway, it wasn’t as hard as you think. I have been using a Roomba recently.M: Oh, that cleaning robot? I’m jealous, Sandra. I wanted one, but I didn’t have 500 extra dollars.W: I know. They’re so expensive. I got mine from my boss when I was Employee ofthe Year two years ago.Text 7M: Where were you this morning, Julie? Mom and I were going to take you to school.W: Oh, thanks, Dad. I thought you saw my note. I took the bus early in the morning. M: An early bus? I thought you were a night person.W: We had band practice. We’re playing at the game next month, and I was excited.But now…M: Uh-oh. What happened?W: It’s the uniforms. I saw them, and now I’m sorry I ever started playing the flute. M: Ugly? I’m sure you’d look great in anything, Julie.W: It’s not that. They’re made out of wool. Wool! In August!M: Dear Lord! You’ll all get way too hot.W: Well, it’s worse for the saxophoneplayers.M: I guess the drummers have the same problem.W: Yes. They plained, but the school doesn’t have money to buy new clothes for us. Text 8W: Is that your dog? He’s not very friendly.M: Yeah, that’s Sammy. I’m sorry he’s a little anxious. He’s usually quite playful, but he had a rough day.W: How does a dog have a rough day? Don’t they just chase rabbits and sleep? M: Well, I took him to a dog park, and a larger dog bit him. I’m worried Sammy will be afraid of strangers forever.W: Well, that explains it. Don’t worry about it. Why don’t I sit over here on this chair and calm him down?M: Thanks for understanding. I’ll get you something to drink.W: Thanks, but I’m sorry I’m early. I really thought the invitation said 7 o’clock. M: That’s all right. Most people start dinner parties at 6:30, but mine’s an hour later because everyone’s going to the football game.W: Oh, dear. I wish I were a fan. I should have known that.Text 9M: Waitress! I think there’s something wrong with our bill.W: No, I don’t think so…$10 for the drinks, 15 for the small plate, and 20 for the main dish.M: What? I knew the cheese sticks were 15. I always order cheese sticks, but I thought the main dish was $10.W: Oh, that explains it. You think the bill should be $35.M: Yes, exactly. I was wondering what happened to the rest of my change. I shouldhave gotten back 15, not 5!W: I understand. Sometimes people aren’t honest, but I think this was an honest mistake. Didn’t you order the sea cucumbers for dinner?M: Yes, and they were delicious. Best cucumbers ever! I’m so glad I’m a vegetarian. W: Sir, I am so sorry. Have you ordered sea cucumbers before? They aren’t vegetables, you know.M: Really? I thought it was a vegetable that grew in the ocean.W: Nope. They’re seafood.M: Oh, no!W: I’m so sorry, sir. I assumed you understood what you were ordering.M: Actually, Jenny took my order. Maybe I can talk to her.W: She had an emergency at home. I came in to take over her tables. But I’m sure if I talk to the manager, we can give you a discount for the order.M: That’s OK.Text 10Good morning, Brooklyn High School, and wele to another year. I’m Harvey Briggs, the school director, and I’ll be broadcasting these morning announcements every day at 8:15 a.m. in the school hall. And of course, we have a poster wall in the cafeteria with sign-ups for school activities. Don’t forget to sign up for the football team. The team loves Bill Wyatt, our head coach, and many of our former football players have gone to good colleges for free because of their skills. This year, we have a new system for our lunch menu. The food we offer each week will be emailed to your parents. They will choose lunch food for you and pay through their ParentsDirect account. One last announcement for today: We have a new smartphone policy. Students will not be allowed to bring smartphones into the teaching buildings. We’ve provided special lockers inside the school gate to keep your phones safe while class is in session. If you need to contact family members during class hours, e to the office and talk to the school staff. We hope you all have a successful school year!。

One possible version:The year 2008 witnessed the world financial crisis, which led to the economic crisis. As a result, many graduates find it difficult to hunt for proper jobs this year. The problem has drawn much attention from the society.Some people think the government should try its best to provide enough opportunities for graduates. However, the government encourages them to create their own careers.At the same time, graduates are inspired to go to the countryside, where they can put what they have learned into practice. Besides, they can take part in job training and acquire more skills.In my opinion, graduates should change their concept of employment. They don’t have to work in units where they can get higher pay or where there are better conditions. (110 words)得分档次：第五档（很好）21-25分；第四档（好）16-20分；第三档（一般）11-15分；第二档（较差）6-10分；第一档（差）0-5分按照整体印象分档，不数语法错误。

2020-2021学年黄冈中学高三英语月考试卷及答案

2020-2021学年黄冈中学高三英语月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AOvernight French ToastWhat You’ll Need•16-ounce loaf of French bread•5 eggs•1 1 /2 cups milk•1/2 cup half-and-half•1/3 cup maple syrup（枫糖浆）•1/2 teaspoon salt•foil（锡箔纸）•2 tablespoons melted butter（for topping）•2 tablespoons maple syrup（for topping）What to Do•With an adult’s help, cut the bread into 1-inch slices.•Place the eggs, milk, half-and-half, maple syrup, and salt into a large bowl. Stir（揽拌）the mixture until blended（混合均匀）.•Place the sliced bread into a baking dish. Pour the mixtureover the bread and press the slices into it. Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.•Remove the dish from the refrigerator at least one hour before baking. Ask an adult for help to preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the French toast for 35 minutes or until golden brown.•For the topping, combine the melted butter and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Pour it over the French toast before serving.1.How much salt will you need to make a French toast?A.1/3 cup.B.1/2 teaspoon.C.2 tablespoons.D.16 ounces.2.How will you use foil?A.Place the sliced breadB.Cover the dish.C.Remove the dish.D.Eat the French toast.3.Who is the passage written for?A.Teachers.B.Parents.C.Cooks.D.Kids.BImprovements to energy efficiency, such as LED lights, are seen by many authorities as a top priority for cutting carbon emissions. Yet a growing body of research suggests that arebound effect could wipe out more than half of the savings from energy efficiency improvements, making the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change even harder to hit.A team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds, UK, looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact of the rebound effect. First comes the direct rebound: for instance,when someone buys a more efficient car, they may take advantage of that by driving it further. Then comes the indirect rebound: fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy, consuming energy.Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect, they produced very consistent estimates of its impact, leading the team to conclude that the effect wipes out, on average, 63 percent of the anticipated energy savings.“We're not saying energy efficiency doesn't work. What we're saying is rebound needs to be taken more seriously,” says Brockway.The idea that increased efficiency may not deliver the hopedfor savingsdates back to the Jevons paradox(悖论), named after the economist William Stanley Jevons, who, in 1865,observed that more efficient coal use led to more demand for coal.If the rebound effect does prove to be as big as suggested, it means future global energy demand will be higher than expected and the world will need far more wind and solar power and carboncapture technology than is currently being planned for.But that doesn't mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect. One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.4. Which of the following is a rebound effect?A. A man uses LED lights to cut carbon emissions.B. A company uses coal more efficiently to reduce waste.C. A family saves money by using energysaving devices.D. A lady spends savings from her fuel efficient car on more clothes.5. How did Paul Brockway's team carry out their research?A. By interviewing economists.B. By analyzing former studies.C. By modeling the rebound effect.D. By debating about the Jevons paradox.6. What would Paul Brockway probably agree with?A. Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency.B. Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain.C. The rebound effect helps protect the environment.D. More attention should be paid to the rebound effect.7. What's the author's attitude towards limiting the rebound effect?A. Positive.B. Pessimistic.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.CWhile space travel still gets lot of attention, not enough attention has been paid to the exploration of oceans, about which we know much less than the dark side of the moon.Ninety percent of the ocean floor has not even been recorded and while we have been to the moon, the technology to explore the ocean's floors is still being developed. For example, a permanent partially-underwater sea exploration station, called the Sea Orbiter, is currently in development.The oceans play a major role in controlling our climate. But we have not learned yet how to use them to cool us off rather than contribute to our overheating. Ocean organisms are said to hold the promise of cures for a wide of the unique eyes of skate (ray fish) led to advances in conquering blindness, the horseshoe crab was important in developing a test for bacterial pollution, and sea urchins helped in the development of test-tube fertilization(人工授精). The toadfish's' ability to regenerate its central nervous system is of much interest to neuroscientists. A recent Japanese study concluded that the drug Eribulin, which was taken from sea sponges, is effective in fighting with breast, colon, and Urinary cancer.Given the approaching crisis of water insufficiency, we badly need to improve current methods, of desalinating(淡化) ocean water and make them more efficient and less costly. By 2025, 1.8 billion people are expected to suffer from severe water shortage, with that number jumping to 3. 9 billion by 2050-well over a third of the entire global population.If the oceansdo not make your heart go beating faster, how about engineering a bacterium that eats carbon dioxide — and thus helps protect the world from overheating — and produces fuel which will allow us to drive our cars and machines, without oil? I cannot find any evidence that people young or old, Americans or citizens of other nations would be less impressed or less inspired with such a breakthrough than with one more set of photos of a faraway galaxy or a whole Milky Way full of stars.8. What does the author think about the ocean exploration?A. It is equal to the space exploration.B. It is well developed.C. It deserves more attention and devotion.D. It is beyond our knowledge.9. What technology has been developed to make use of the oceans?A. Curing human diseases with ocean organisms.B. Preventing the world getting warmer.C. Mapping the global ocean floor.D. Removing salt from sea water.10. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. The temperature rise will be overcome by a bacterium.B. Solving the existing problems is more significant.C. The space exploration is worth the efforts.D. The ocean exploration is not inspiring.11. What is the best title of the passage?A. Oceans, the Last Hope.B. Oceans, the Hidden Treasure.C. Space, the Final Frontier.D. Space, the Faraway Dream.DTechnology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us todo things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is notnecessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and anew way to attract customers.You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（配件）unmanageable,they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.12. What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A. The benefits brought by the advanced technology.B. The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.C. The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.D. Many problems of usability known by the consumers.13. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.B. What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.C. Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.D. The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product14. What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?A. They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.B. They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.C. They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.D. They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy ThingB. Feature-heavy Products in DemandC. The More Features, the BetterD. Simplicity Outweighs Complexity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。

In Richard’s Place，customers can ________．A. receive good serviceB. enjoy its moderndesignC. listen to wonderful musicD. enjoy the beauty of a riverBIn Australia, plenty of wild things can bite or sting(刺伤) you. Strangely enough, one of them is a tree. Now scientists have figured out what makes the tree’s sting so bad.The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people callit the gympie-gympie tree—a name given to the tree by native Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you touch a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months.Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes this stinging plant so painful. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain.The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked(舔) at the places where they’d been injected, indicating that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemicals very stable, which helps explain why the pain stays so long.The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and cone snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all using similar poisons. Spiders and cone snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons (small s of the kangaroo) are able to eat the plant without trouble.4. Why is a touch on the stinging tree unforgettable?A. Because it has so unusual an appearance.B. Because it is extremely rare in existence.C. Because touching it creates a quite strange feeling.D. Because the pain caused by it doesn’t go away quickly.5. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree?A. How it produces poisons.B. What poisons it produces.C. How it benefits from the sting.D. The consequences of its sting.6. What does the text imply about the stinging tree?A. It produces the same poisons as spiders.B. Poisonous as it is, it also has natural enemies.C. Animals are wise enough to stay away from it.D. Only one chemical in it causes pain to the toucher.7. What’s the best title for the text?A. Scientists Discover Stinging Tree's SecretB. Caution: Stinging Tree Can Bite and Poison YouC. Scientists Discover a Strange Species in AustraliaD. Effective Ways to Avoid Being Hurt by Stinging TreeCHundreds of millions of people watched on television on July 20, 1969, when American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to land on the moon. Back then, businesses sold many products connected to the event and many such products are now on sales again — in celebration of the moon landing’s 50th anniversary.A limited number of Omega’s gold Speedmaster watches — the same kind that Buzz Aldrin wore on the moon — will be sold at $34,600. Omega Speedmaster watches have been an important part of space travel since NASA chose them for its moon landing in 1965. Other watches had failed required tests. Omega gave its gold Speedmasters to the astronauts at a dinner in 1969 before the landing. Another less costly type of silver Speedmasters will be sold at $ 9,650. It carries a picture of Aldrin stepping down from the moon lander.Something for children-as well as adults — is the NASA Apollo 11 moon lander set. Made by Lego, it is a group of small pieces to put together to make a model of the moon lander.Other things for sale include the anti-gravity Fisher Space Pens,developed just for the Apollo 11 mission. They work even when writing upside down. Now Fisher Space Pen Company has a limited-edition pen for sale at anout-of this-worldprice: $700, with real material from the Apollo 11 spacecraft.Back in 1969, companies were quick to show their Apollo 11 connections with media and advertisements.

I quickly became depressed and angry at myself for not being about to do better in school, in addition to lack of friends due to poor social and communication skills.This went on for months until my 19th birthday. My parents sent me a cake, which was a great cake. But I remember having this large cake and ly no one to share it with. I ended throwing out the cake after having one piece, with about 90 % of it leftover. That night I was depressed that I decided to go outside to the freezing temperature of the winter and run. I put my earphones in, went outside and ran about 2 miles at 11 p.m. on my birthday.When I got back inside I was content. I was proud of what I was able to do. The next night I did the same. I wasn’t quick or fit but you know that I went outside and did something. This continued for about 2 months until I finally worked up the courage to go to the gym, where I started swimming again as I used to in high school. Amonth went by and I started lifting weights and continually running.Looking back I can see that exercise helped cure my depression but it didn’t only do that. At the gym I met new friends and back at my dorm I grew confidence to go to the end of the hall seeing people playing Super Smash Brothers and ask if I could join.So go forward to present now. I exercise every day and look forward to that hour and a half I get daily to do what I love with people who love it as well. I hope this helps someone who may be or have been in a similar situation.12. What made the author decide to run at night?A. His l9th birthday.B. His parents’ cake.C. His loneliness.D. His friends.13.

together those who share a common vision of the future．For me，that's true for my relationship with my dad．Some fathers and sons bond over sports，fishing or hunting，but my dad and I bond over Star Trek．We tried a trip to Disney World，but one of my earliest memories wasn't Mickey，but a Klingon battle cruiser（巡洋舰）on the screen．Over the years，nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me．When it's warm at night，we're not driving along some dark streets in Indiana，but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining．Both of us are thinking of them，without needing to say a word．All these visions of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me．Gene Rodenberry，creator of Star Trek，once said，"Science fiction is a way of thinking，a way of logic that bypasses（绕过）a lot of nonsense．It allows people to look directly at important subjects．"A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad，but has alsohelped me shape my own hopes for the future．I'm now a science writer．Yes，science fiction has made me into a "nerd" （书呆子），and it also has been a source of joy for my family，making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology．Thank those authors who have shared their visions；the world and my family are better for it．Thank my dad，who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennyson's words，"Since I dipped into the future，I saw the vision of the world，and all the wonders that would be．"（1）What is the special bond between the author and his father？A．Their similar dreams．B．Their love for each other．C．Their common interest．D．Their hatred for science．（2）What does the author mainly show in paragraph 2？A．His deep impression on his dad．B．His feeling of staying with his dad．C．His earliest memory of his dad．D．His good relationship with his dad．（3）How does science fiction help the author at present？A．It leads him to pursue a desirable career．B．It brings him the courage to live better．C．It helps him solve the danger of technology．D．It makes him become a source of his family's joy．（4）What may be the best title for the text？A．The Wonders of ScienceB．The Power of Science FictionC．The Versions of Science FictionD．The Time together with My Father13．（8分）If plastic had been invented when the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth，England，to North America ﹣and their Mayflower had been stocked with bottled water and plastic﹣wrapped snacks，their plastic waste would likely still be around four centuries later．Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits．And those bits might still be f loating around the world's oceans today，waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster，and finally perhaps by one of us．Because plastic wasn't invented until the late 19th century，and its production only really took off around 1950，we have a mere 9.2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with．Of that，more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste．And of that waste，a surprising 6.3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin ﹣the figure that shocked the scientists who published the numbers in 2017．No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean，the earth's last sink．In 2015，Jenna Jambeck，a University of Georgia engineering professor，caught everyone's attention with a rough estimate：between 5.3 million and 14 million tons of plastic waste each year just comefrom coastal regions．Meanwhile，ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine（海洋的）animals every year．Nearly 700 species，including endangered ones，are known to have been affected by it．Some are harmed visibly，stuck by abandoned things made of plastic．Many more are probably harmed invisibly．Marine species of all sizes，from zooplankton to whales，now eat microplastics，the bits smaller than one﹣fifth of an inch across．"This isn't a problem where we don't know what the solution is，" says Ted Siegler，a Vermont resource economist who has spent more than 25 years working with developing nations on garbage．"We know how to pick up garbage．Anyone can do it．We know how to deal with it．We know how to recycle．" It's a matter of building the necessary institutions and systems，he says，ideally before the ocean turns into a thin soup of plastic．（1）Why does the author mention the Pilgrims in paragraph 1？A．To prove plastic was difficult to invent．B．To introduce what marine animals like eating．C．To tell the Pilgrims contributed a lot to the marine protection．D．To show plastic waste has a lasting effect on the ocean．（2）What's the main trouble marine animals face according to the text？A．Lacking protection．B．Being stuck by plastics．C．Being caught by humans．D．Treating plastics as food．（3）What does Ted Siegler want to tell us in the last paragraph？A．Some people don't know the solution of plastics waste．B．Plastics will turn the ocean into a soup of plastic．C．It's time to take measures to deal with plastic waste．D．People should avoid using plastics to protect the ocean．（4）From which is the text probably taken？A．A biology textbook．B．A travel brochure．C．An environmental report．D．A lifestyle magazine．14．（8分）A study found wireless signals are able to pass through bags and suitcases to judge the sizes of dangerous metal objects and identify them．"These items could include weapons，chemicals，laptops and batteries for bombs，" the research team said on Tuesday．Research suggested that Wi﹣Fi can now be used to estimate the volume of liquids such as water，acid，alcohol and other chemicals for explosive material．The study led by researchers at the Wireless Information Network Laboratory（WINLAB）in the School of Engineering showed a wireless device with two to three antennas（天线）that could be fitted in existing Wi﹣Fi networks．The detection system analyzes what happens when wireless signals go through and bounce off objects or materials．The approach，which the paper states，works by separating the wireless interference（干扰）caused by two factors of objects ﹣the material and shape．"Most dangerous objects such as weapons are usually metal or liquid，which have significant interference，" researchers said．When it was tested on a backpack，the accuracy rate topped 95 percent．"But the accuracy dropped to about 90 percent when objects inside bags are wrapped．And the tech could save lives if used in museums，stadiums，theme parks or schools，" the team said，noting its design can inspect bags or luggage without being an exposure to privacy．It uses channel state information（CS）that is readily available in low﹣cost Wi﹣Fi devices．"This could have a great impact on protecting the public from dangerous objects，" said Yingying Chen，a co ﹣author of the study，"There's a growing need for that now．In large public areas，it's hard to set up expensive screening equipment like what's in airports．Manpower is always needed to check bags and we want to develop a method to try to reduce manpower．"The peer﹣reviewed study，which recently won a best paper award at the 2018 IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security，is now published online．"Future work will continue to focus on ameliorating the accuracy of identifying objects and imaging shapes and volumes，"researchers said．（1）What does paragraph 3 talk about？A．The function of the technique．B．The way the device works．C．The principle the study is based on．D．The benefit of the study findings．（2）What's the advantage of the device？A．It saves people in danger of natural disasters．B．It passes through bags without damaging them．C．It uses antennas to pick up networks' signals．D．It protects personal information from being exposed．（3）Why did the researchers study the device according to Yingying Chen？A．To save money and labour．B．To make full use of Wi﹣Fi．C．To protect passengers' privacy．D．To research dangerous objects．（4）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "ameliorating" in the last paragraph？A．Confirming．B．Improving．C．Discovering．D．Examining．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．15．（10分）You don't need to be a world﹣class mountaineer to stand out in a job interview．Here's my advice on how to nail the most common interview question．Most people are so eager to show off what they've been involved in．Don't worry，and there will be time for that．The interviewer has reviewed your resume and will ask you plenty about your expertise．"Tell me about yourself" is a question you're certain to be asked at any job interview．（1）However，sharing something that shows who you really are beyond a piece of paper is a good idea．It will allow the interviewer to know something about your life outside of work．Everyone has something interesting to share about themselves．I've heard people talk about everything from being a world﹣class sushi chef to an ice carver．（2）For example，you participate in competitive sports，you're an accomplished（技艺高超的）pianist and you're writing yourfirst detective novel．If the information showcases a unique aspect of yourself，and especially if you can link it to what you can bring to your next job，then go for it．Another way to think about the question is："What gets you up every morning？" The person also wants to know what your sense of passion and purpose is．That volunteer work on a farm cooperative in South America，for example，shows you have a global perspective．（3）It doesn't matter how big or small the accomplishment is，as long as it shows you're struggling to improve yourself．When people are motivated by contributing to something bigger than themselves，they get more satisfaction．（4）Relax，be yourself and tell the truth．Don't approach the interview like you're trying out for Broadway．It's more than obvious when someone is trying to memorize their lines and "play the part"．Also，if you overstate what you've done or fully invent a story about yourself，you'll be exposed．（5）A．Take a risk to get personal．B．Showing honesty is one of the most important things．C．Running your first 10 kilometers shows you like a challenge．D．And then everything you say about yourself will be questioned．E．It's also important to tell it in a way that makes you memorable．F．Too many people respond to it by giving a recital of their resume．G．"Tell me about yourself" is an invitation for you to share brief information．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分60 分）第一节完形填空（共20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．16．（30分）I live in a landscape surrounded
