河南省实验中学2015届高三上学期第一次月考英语试题 Word版含答案
2014-2015学年度河南省实验中学高三上期月考英语试题第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节(共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AMy brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau(衣橱) and picked out a wonderful skirt. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New Y ork, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.‖ Well, I guess this is the occasion.He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."I'm still thinking about his words, and they've changed my attitude to life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I'm trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them."Someday" and "one of these days" are being lost from my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I' m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn't have tomorrow .I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have calleda few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.If I knew that my hours were limited ,those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with some day. Angry and sorry because I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from God.1. The best title for the passage would be______.A. Every day is A GiftB. My Poor SisterC. V alue Friendship Every DayD. Every day is An Important Occasion2. Jan bought the wonderful skirt but didn't wear it because______.A. she wanted to wear it on special occasionsB. she kept it as a special gift for someone elseC. she saved it until she grew olderD. she wanted to keep it as a sweet memory3. Which of the following is not the wri ter’s attitude to life?A. spending more time staying with familyB. attending social activities as often as possibleC. enjoying life and valuing every dayD. trying to get along well with friends4.Which of the following can best explain t he expression underlined ―mend her fences for past things‖ in Paragraph 5?A. try to be friendly again with someoneB. break her wordC. give up her point of viewD. keep her promiseBThere are many superstitions(迷信) in Britain, but one of the most widely-held is that it is unlucky to walk under a ladder - even if it means stepping off the pavement into a busy street!①Walking under a ladderIf you must walk under a ladder you can avoid bad luck by crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed until you’ve seen a dog. Alternatively, you must lick your finger and make a cross on the toe of your shoe, and not look again at the shoe until the mark has dried.②UmbrellaAnother common superstition is that it is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house - it will either bring misfortune to the person that opened it or to the household. The superstition could date from the old time when its purpose was to act as a sunshade. If opened indoors, it might be considered to be an attack on the sun. Anyone opening an umbrella indoors in fine weather is unpopular, as it inevitably brings rain!③Number 13The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some, and when the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday, anyone wishing to avoid an inauspicious event had better stay indoors.④Seven years bad luckThe worst misfortune that can befall you is caused by breaking a mirror, as it brings seven years of bad luck! The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.⑤Black catIn the UK, Black cats are generally considered lucky in the UK, even though they are connected with witchcraft(巫术). Y ou are said to be lucky if a black cat crosses your path.5. Which experience is considered to be lucky according to the passage?A. Walking under a ladderB. opening an umbrella in the houseC. breaking a mirrorD. a black cat crossing your path.6. Which of the followings is RIGHT in U.K according to the passage?A. Opening an umbrella in the rain is not acceptable or unpopularB. Black cats are generally considered unlucky because they have something to withwitchcraft.C. Bad luck brought by walking under a ladder cannot be avoided using certain waysD. If you are to open a clothes store on May 13 in Britain, you had better change the date.7. Which two superstitions are related to history?A. ①②B.②④ C ④⑤ D. ③④8. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A. breaking a mirror will cause bad luck because it shows your disrespect (不敬) for the God.B. crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed can help avoid bad luck brought bywalking under a ladderC. number 13 is always unlucky in any situationD. opening indoors it might be considered to be an attack on the sun.CReading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Y et what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.9. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because ______________.A. it built a link among peopleB. it helped unite a communityC. it was a source of self-educationD. it was a source of pleasure10. The underlined word ―diversion‖(in Paragraph 2) most probably means ―_________‖.A. concentrationB. changeC. amusementsD. stories11. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.B. Students are poorly educated in high school.C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.D. Poems have become difficult to understand.12. In the last paragraph, the writer questions ____________.A. the difficulty in studying poemsB. the way poems are taught in schoolC. students’ wrong ideas about poetryD. the techniques used in writing poemsDHow can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces, They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks（象牙）, and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3 –4 days, and can store water in a ―bag‖ at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders – they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Y oung elephants may even eat the dung（粪便）of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage.During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine（尿液）to make them muddy!As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.13．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means ―‖.A．remains in the African countriesB．drinks 120 liters of water a dayC．manages to live in desert areasD．eats 150 kilograms of food daily14．Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _________.A．rarely ruin treesB．drink only every 3-4 daysC．search for food in large groupsD．protect food sources for their young15．What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?A．Overheating the earth can be stopped.B．Not all animal species are so adaptable.C．The planet will become hotter and hotter.D．Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。
河北省唐山市第二中学2024-2025学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题
河北省唐山市第二中学2024-2025学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题一、阅读理解Fine Arts Students Deliver Magical PerformancesAs the winter holidays approach,Brookhaven School students presented an array of extraordinary performances showcasing immense talent within our fine arts community. From the band concert to the choral concerts, each event highlighted the dedication and exceptional gifts of our students.The December 12 Eagles Band Concert filled Woodruff Auditorium with melodies that captured the festive spirit.On December 14, the Foundations Christmas Choral Concert featured spirited performances by our 7th graders. The finale of seasonal fine arts showcases occurred on December 18 in Brady Theater with the Senior Chior Concert,spotlighting high school singers.A highly anticipated tradition,the school-wide Holiday Assembly on December 19, hosted by esteemed Fine Arts Department Chair Mr.Kaminer, embodied the true essence of the holiday season. Angelic songs filled Young Gym, followed by joyous laughter and cheers as the “best costume” winners received their awards. Even the youngest War Eagles,the children in the Brookhaven Early Learning Center, attended the celebrations.Following the event, students merrily left school for the holiday break.Looking toward 2024, anticipation builds for the Brookhaven theater spring productions. “Something Rotten!” promises high-energy comedic performances by theater students, while “Tuck Everlasting” assures a moving portrayal by talented Foundations students. Furthermore,the Brookhaven Dance Company will hold their showcase April 11-12 in Woodruff Auditorium. Tickets will soon be available for purchase.1．What did the students at Brookhaven School do before the winter holidays?A．They performed magic tricks.B．They participated in community service.C．They gave holiday concerts.D．They presented new theatre productions. 2．What can we learn about Holiday Assembly on December 19?A．It was a large celebration within the school.B．It was an award presentation for beststudents.C．It featured various fun music and sports events.D．It was held on the first day of the winter holiday.3．What is the text?A．A fine arts brochure.B．A school announcement.C．A school newsletter.D．A concert advertisement.Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning.Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit.Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged (利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity.We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies?4．What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A．There are different types of education.B．The present education needs improvements.C．Education and economy are closely associated.D．The goal of future education is fundamentally different.5．What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to?A．It accepts students of all ages.B．It promotes competition.C．It discourages individualized learning.D．It is all about play-based learning. 6．What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Tough.B．Satisfactory.C．Optional.D．Required. 7．What is the suitable title for the text?A．An Example to All B．A Vision for EducationC．A Challenge for Education D．A Journey into the FutureAny schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen (鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales, have two.Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间).Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch by filtering (过滤) them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory bulb—the part of the brain that processes smell—is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales.Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits.The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils that are farther apart than do those, such as humpback whales, that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies.8．What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs?A．They are adapted ones.B．They are developed merely for smell.C．They are not easy to detect.D．They are fixed universally in numbers. 9．What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton?A．The teeth that baleen whales have.B．The smell that phytoplankton send.C．The sound waves that zooplankton create.D．The chemical signals that zooplankton give off.10．How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4?A．By quoting a theory.B．By using examples.C．By making contrast.D．By making inferences.11．What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph?A．The sense of smell.B．The possibility to attract food.C．The ability to locate food.D．The ability to communicate.Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity.The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ essential nature is moreaggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hate and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged (不和的) accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.As an important note, when we take a classical philosophical perspective, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, in real situations, develops with practice.12．What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness?A．People should offer mercy to others.B．Aggressive people should learn to forgive.C．Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.D．People who forgive can have their own welfare affected.13．What does the example in Paragraph 3 illustrate?A．To fight is to grow.B．To give is to receive.C．To forgive is to abuse.D．To dominate is to harm.14．What is the writer’s attitude toward forgiveness?A．Favorable.B．Reserved.C．Objective.D．Skeptical. 15．What message does the last paragraph convey?A．Forgiveness is in our nature.B．Forgiveness grows with time.C．It takes practice to forgive.D．Actuality is based on potentiality.It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news. Like, would you rather bite into a lemon, or sip on a fresh glass of lemonade?16 The world is full of problems and conflicts and we need to stay informed and alert (警觉的) to what’s going on around us. While reading traditional, more negative news is important, consuming good news is also part of staying informed. 17 And it also brings meaningful benefits, like reduced stress and anxiety, higher rates of engagement, community building skills, and inspiration for creating a better world. Plus, knowing what to look for in the good news landscape is a key part of improving our media literacy skills and being thoughtful news consumers.In fact, good news, known as solutions journalism, is becoming more popular, as publishers and news stations discover the benefits of sharing positive stories. Good Good Good is one of them. 18 A team of reporters and editors there work daily to deliver stories that make readers feel hopeful and equipped to do more good with possible solutions.“If it bleeds, it leads.” has long been a saying used in the media to describe how news stories about violence, death and destruction draw readers’ attention.19 The thing is, however, there’s also good stuff out there—the delightful and kind parts of humanity. “Beautiful stories are happening worldwide. 20 When you do find them, the world can suddenly feel like a very different place. Good news is a vital part of how we learn about the world and solving the world’s problems.” Hervey, one of Good Good Good’s editors said.A．Share good news with people around you.B．It’s just that we don’t hear as much about them.C．But the “bad news” has its place in the world.D．It provides a more balanced view of the world.E．And so, negative news stories are everywhere on news media.F．Heartwarming stories make you cry and feel good.G．The news media company is devoted to providing good news intentionally.二、完形填空For the past 18 years, my daughter has been around me all the time.

上海市北虹高级中学2021届高三上学期第一次月考英语试题含答案
上海市北虹高级中学2021届高三上学期第一次月考英语试题II. Grammar and V ocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Trust is a tricky business. On the one hand, it's a necessary condition for many worthwhile things such as child care or friendships. On the other hand, __21__ (put) your faith in the wrong place often carries a high price.Then, why do we trust at all? Well, because it feels good. __22__ people place their trust in an individual or an institution, their brains release oxytocin, a hormone that produces pleasurable feelings and triggers the herding instruction that leads sheep to flock together for safety and prompts humans __23__ (connect) with one another.Swiss Scientists have found that exposure __24__ this hormone puts us in a trusting mood: In a study, researchers sprayed oxytocin（催产素）into the noses of half the subjects; those subjects were ready to lend significantly __25__ (high) amounts of money to strangers than were their counterparts __26__ inhaled（吸入）something else.Lucky for us, we also have a sixth sense for dishonesty that __27__ protect us. A Canadian study found that children as young as 14 months can differentiate between a credible person and a dishonest __28__. Sixty toddlers were each introduced to an adult tester holding a plastic container. The tester would ask, "What's in here?" before looking into the container, smiling, and exclaiming, "Wow!" Each subject was then invited to look inside. Half of them found a toy; the other half discovered the container was empty-and realized the tester __29__ (fool) them.Among the children who had not been tricked, the majority were willing to cooperate with the tester in learning a new skill, demonstrating that they trusted his leadership. In contrast, only five of the 30 children __30__ (pair) with the "inflexible" tester participated in follow-up activity.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.China's male beauty vloggers go viral as gender attitudes shift Blushes, eye shadows and concealers are no longer __31__ found in a woman's cosmetic bag as more and more men in China discover the power of makeup.The popularity of male beauty vloggers is leading a(n) __32__ in China's male cosmetics mark estimated to grow to a huge $ 2.4 billion in 2002. It's also paving the way for more young Chinese men to __33__ with gender-bending makeup and clothes, in a culture with a long history of swaggering, masculine stereotypes, and where the trope of the ancient male emperor with multiple wives is still going strong.Even in 2018, parents can __34__ young sons in training camps to teach them to be tough and manly. Single men looking to marry face pressure to fit certain norms -- be the breadwinner and own property; multiple houses are a(n) __35__.The change in gender ideals has influenced by South Korean pop culture, where male celebrities and boy bands have __36__ a softer, effeminate look. With Chinese celebrities and regular boy-next-door types adopting a more __37__ appearance, the fad has its own slang - xiaoxianrou, or "little fresh meat."Wang Zilu, 22, has used makeup for three years - __38__ after realizing how just a little could "change the shape of your eye-brows, the style of your lips". He learned via other vloggers before starting a social media account to post his own before-and-after videos."The first time I put on makeup, it took me an entire afternoon," he recalled. "The most difficult part was eye shadow - how to mix and match different colors without making it ugly."Makeup, for some, has gone from a fun hobby to a profitable __39__ - China's most popular beauty vloggers reportedly can __40__ in as much as 10 million yuan a year ( £ 1.2 million).But even with more young Chinese men trying out a bit of blush, not everyone's used to it just yet.III. Reading ComprehensionsSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Is Helicopter Parenting Necessary?We've all heard the dangers of helicopter parenting. Remaining too __41__ in a kid's life, especially throughout college, can lead to depression, lack of self-reliance and feelings of entitlement.Superficially, this wisdom is sound. But some academics and educators now say they see signs of a troubling backlash（反冲）. The concern : warnings that moms and dads should __42__ "the over parenting trap" - are discouraging parents from getting involved at all.Yes, parents can be intrusive. __43__, there are increasing examples of parents refusing to step up when students genuinely need their family. One mom kept __44__ about her son's signs of depression until right before he failed a semester. She did not want to "helicopter in."That means colleges, which have spent the past decade learning to __45__ parents who get too involved, now have a different __46__. But the solution to both is the same; devising ways to channel moms and dads into the right kind of __47__ role.Much of this began because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students__48__ with their parents like never before, thanks to smart-phones. And with __49__ in education soaring, university leaders have started to view parents as investment partners. Most of them have paid for this education for the children or gone into debt for this education. And in some sense, they're entitled to know and be assured that colleges are __50__ their children's welfare.Crucially, parent-outreach programs have also served as buffers（缓冲）, __51__ students - or worse, professors - the discomfort of the nagging. At the University of Maryland, for example, the parent office handled __52__ for weekly academic-progress reports, which do not exist in higher education. Parents want to know they have a place to go where someone will listen to their concerns.But now, with some moms and dads cautious of even contacting the school in the first place, those programs are being used to encourage a more balanced approach, often via blogs, email and Facebook. Parents are now advised to be a guide, while acknowledging that the __53__ owns thejourney. That means asking questions, listening to answers, being patient and trusting kids to resolve their own problems. But if issues __54__, or if a student is in serious mental or physical danger, it also means hopping in the chopper, at least for a little while. "When you think about it, helicopters are useful tools," says Chelsea Petree, who is launching a parents - outreach program. "They can see things we on the __55__ can't see and get to emergencies quicker than we can. They can swoop in when needed. The key is that they go back up."41.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Shipwrecked PrayersA voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreedthat they had no alternative but to pay to God.However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit - bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man's parcel of land remained barren.After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island.The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island, considering the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings since none of his prayers had been answered.As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?""My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn't deserve anything.""You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.""Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?""He prayed that all your prayers would be answered."For all we know, our blessing are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. So what you do for others is more important than what do you for yourself.56. The first man's wife is _________.A. a swimmer who got to the island by accidentB. an angel sent by God to keep him companyC. a survivor from another wrecked shipD. a native person on the desert-like island57.

What's the moral of the story?A. Never judge a person by appearance.B. Don't lose heart in trouble.C. Helping others is helping ourselves.D. Greed is the root of all evil.(B)Scholarship Application Tips in 2018 for college students●Before you apply➢Work hard to get good grades. Don't sweat about one bad grade, but always strive to do your best.➢Get involved, and stay involved, in out-of-class activities. Sports, clubs, drama, bands and orchestras -- these often count toward a student's overall scholarship applicationevaluation. The same goes for paid (or unpaid) work experience.➢Begin your scholarship research early - by your sophomore or junior year of high school, if possible. Make special note of application deadlines, as they can vary from late summer to late spring.➢Apply for as many scholarships as your are eligible for - several smaller scholarships can add up to a long of money.●During the application process➢Read the supplementary materials that come with scholarship application forms to better understand program's focus (community service, subject interest).

In the minds of agrarian thinkers and writers, the farmer was a person on whose well-being the health of the new country depended. The period between the Revolution, which ended in 1783, and the Civil War, which ended in 1865, was the age of the farmer in the United States. Agrarian philosophers, represented most eloquently by Thomas Jefferson, celebrated farmers extravagantly for their supposed centrality in a good society, their political virtue, and their Superior morality. And virtually all policy makers, whether they subscribed to the tenets of the philosophy held by Jefferson or not, recognized agriculture as the key component of the American economy. Consequently, government at all levels worked to encourage farmers as a social group and agriculture as economic enterprise.Both the national and state governments developed transportation infrastructure, building canals, roads, bridges, and railroads, deepening harbors, and removing obstructions from navigable streams. The national government imported plant and animal varieties and launched exploring expeditions into prospective farmlands in the West. In addition, government trade policies facilitated the exporting of agricultural products.For their part, farmers seemed to meet the social expectations agrarian philosophers had for them, as their broader horizons and greater self-respect, both products of the Revolution, were reflected to some degree in their behavior. Farmers seemed to become more scientific, joining agricultural societies and reading the farm newspapers that sprang up throughout the country. They began using improved implements, tried new crops and pure animal breeds, and became more receptive to modern theories of soil improvement.They also responded to inducements by national and state governments. Farmers streamed to the West, filling frontier lands with stunning rapidity. But farmers responded less to the expectations of agrarians and government inducements than to growing market opportunities. European demand for food from the United States seemed insatiable. War, industrialization, and urbanization all kept demand high in Europe. United States cities and industries grew as well; even industries not directly related to farming thrived because of the market, money, and labor that agriculture provided.63. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The agrarian philosophy of Thomas JeffersonB. The role of the national government in the development of agricultureC. Improvements in farming techniquesD. The impact of the increased importance of the farmer64. The author mentions Thomas Jefferson in paragraph 1 as an example ofA. a leader during the RevolutionB. an inventor of new farming techniquesC. a philosopher who believed farmers were essential to the creation of a good societyD. a farmer who guided the agrarian movement toward an emphasis on economic development65. According to the passage, the national and state governments did all of the following EXCEPT _________.A. build roadsB. import new plant varietiesC. give farmers money for their cropsD. develop policies that helped farmers export their products66. Which of the following statements is best supported by paragraph 4?A. Agricultural development contributed to development in other parts of the economy.B. European agricultural products were of a higher quality than those produced in the United States.C. The growing settlement of the West led to a decrease in agricultural production.D. Farmers were influenced more by government policies than by market opportunities.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need."My work is done." Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman. He included them in his suicide note. They mark an ignoble end to a noble life, the leave taking of a truly great man. The same words could now be said for the company he left behind. Actually, the Eastman Kodak Company is through. It has been mismanaged financially, technologically and competitively. _________67_________ One of America's bedrock brands is about to disappear, the Kodak moment has passed.But George Eastman is not how he died, and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed. Though the ends are needless and premature, they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before. Few companies have done so much good for so many people, or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world._________68_________.Kodak served mankind through entertainment, science, national defense and the stock-pilling of family memories. Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and tp the Sea of Tranquility. It introduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne, and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks. _________69_________ When that sailor kissed the nurse, and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba, Kodak was the eyes of a nation. From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley, Kodak took us there. Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to generation from the Eastman Kodak Company._________70_________ Yes, there were photographers, and for relatively large sums of money they would take unnatural pictures in studios and formal settings. But most people couldn't afford photographs, and so all they had to remember distant loved ones, or earlier times of their lives,was memory. Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people, grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like. Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection, to the permanence of a photograph. But it wasn't just people whose features were savable; it was events, the precious times that families cherish. The Kodak moment, was humanity's moment.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.The Possible Health Dangers of Air-conditionersAlthough many of us may feel air-conditioners bring relief from hot, humid or polluted outside air, they pose many potential health hazards. Much research has looked at how the movement of air inside a closed environment - such as an building - can spread disease or expose people in the building to harmful chemicals.One of the more widely publicized dangers is that of Legionnaire's disease, which was first recognized in the 1970s. This was found to have affected people in buildings with air-conditioning systems in which want air pumped out of the system' cooling towers was somehow sucked back into the air intake, in most cases of ??? to poor design. The warm air, filled with bacteria, was combined with cooled, conditioned air and was ???? circulated around various parts of the building. Studies showed that even people outside such buildings were risk if they walked past air exhaust pipes.Large air-conditioning systems add water to the air they circulate by means of humidifiers.In ?? systems, the water used for this process is kept in special reservoirs, the bottoms of which provide ??? grounds for bacteria which can find their way into the ventilation system. The risk to human health from ???? situation has been highlighted by the fact the immune systems of approximately half of world???? air-conditioned office buildings have developed the ability to fight off the organisms found at the bottom of system reservoirs. But chemicals called "biocides" are added to reservoirs to make them germ-free, and they are dangerous in their own right in sufficient quantities, as they often contain compounds strongly linked to cancers.Finally, it should be pointed out that the artificial climatic environment created byair-conditioners can also affect us. In a natural environment, whether indoor or outdoor, there are small variations in temperature and humidity. Indeed, the human body has long been accustomed to these normal changes. In an air-conditioned living or working environment, however, body temperatures remain well under 37℃, our normal temperature. This leads to a weakened immune system and thus greater exposure to diseases such as colds and flu.第II卷I.

上海市七宝中学2024-2025学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题
上海市七宝中学2024-2025学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题一、语法填空Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soliders, while the people 1 (help) civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat or calculated the length of the year, or manured (施肥) a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers.People think a great deal of them, so much that on all the highest pillars (纪念柱) in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a solider. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are 2 that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not 3 (civilized). Animals fight; so 4 savages (野蛮人); so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently — this, after all, is 5 conquerors and generals have done — is not being civilized. People fight 6 (settle) quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side 7 kill off greater number of the other side, and then saying that the side which has killed most 8 (win). It means 9 (say) that power is right.This is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars,10 millions of people were killed or disabled. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life-nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.二、选词填空Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family leave starting in 2011. I wasn’t surprised when this didn’t make the news here in the United States - we’re now the only wealthy country without such a policy.The United States does have one explicit family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993. It 11 workers to as much as 12 week’s unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem. Despite the 12 of the benefit, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly, describing it as “government-run personnel management” and a “dangerous precedent (先例)”. In fact, every step of the way, as (usually) Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-family balance measures into the law, business groups have been strongly 13 .As Yale law professor Anne Alstott, argues, 14 parental support depends on defining the family as a social good that, in some sense, society must pay for. Parents are 15 in many ways in their lives: there is “no exit” when it comes to children. Society expects parents to provide their children with continuity of care, meaning the 16 and intimate care that human beings need to develop their intellectual, emotional and moral capabilities. And society expects parents to persist in their roles for 18 years, or longer if needed.While most parents do this out of love, there are public punishments for not providing care. What parents do, in other words, is of deep 17 to the state, for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only 18 urgent but important to the future of society. The state recognizes this in the large body of family laws that govern children’s welfare, yet parents receive little help in meeting the life-changing obligations society 19 . To classify parenting as apersonal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting, really, it is to steal those benefits because they accrue (累积) to the whole of society as today’s children become tomorrow’s citizens. In fact, by some 20 , the value of parental investments in children, investments of time and money, is equal to 20%-30% of GDP. If these investments bring huge social benefits-as they clearly do-the benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer.三、完形填空Before 1815 manufacturing in the United States had been done in homes or shops by skilled artisans. As master craft workers, they imparted the knowledge of their trades to apprentices (学徒) and journeymen (熟练工). 21 women often worked in their homes part-time, making finished articles from raw material supplied by merchant capitalists. After 1815 this older form of manufacturing began to 22 factories with machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers. 23 transportation networks, the rise of cities, and the availability of capital and credit all stimulated the shift to factory production.Apprentices were considered part of the family, and masters were responsible not only for teaching their apprentices a trade but also for providing them with some education and for 24 their moral behavior. Journeymen knew that if they 25 their skill, they could become respected master artisans with their own shops. Also, skilled artisans did not work by the clock.The factory changed that. Goods produced by factories were not as finished or elegant as those done by hand, and pride in craftsmanship gave way to the 26 to increase rates of productivity. The new methods of doing business involved a new and stricter sense of time. Absenteeism and lateness hurt productivity and, since work was specialized, 27 the regular factory routine. Industrialization not only produced a fundamental change in the way work was organized; it 28 the very nature of work.The first generation to experience these changes did not adopt the new attitudes easily. The factory clock became the symbol of the new work rules. One mill worker who finally 29 complained revealingly about “obedience to the ding-dong of the bell-just as though we are so many living machines.” With the 30 of personal freedom also came the loss of standingin the community. Unlike artisan workshops in which apprentices worked 31 with the masters supervising them, factories sharply separated workers from management. Few workers rose through the ranks to supervisory positions, and even well-paid workers sensed their 32 in status.In this newly emerging economic order, workers sometimes organized to protect their rights and traditional ways of life. The labor movement gathered some momentum (动力，势头) in the decade before the Panic of 1837, but in the depression that followed, labor’s strength 33 . During hard times, few workers were willing to strike or 34 collective action. And skilled craft workers, who led the union movement, did not feel a particularly strong bond with semiskilled factory workers and unskilled laborers. More than a decade of agitation (激烈争论) did finally bring a workday shortened to 10 hours to most industries by the 1850s’, and the courts also recognized workers’ right to strike, but these 35 had little immediate impact. 21．A．Otherwise B．Moreover C．However D．Therefore 22．A．give way to B．make up for C．get rid of D．end up with 23．A．Expensive B．Public C．Difficult D．Cheap 24．A．displaying B．supervising C．respecting D．predicting 25．A．shared B．assessed C．perfected D．applied 26．A．pressure B．hatred C．freedom D．disappointment 27．A．followed B．broke C．established D．fixed 28．A．ignored B．demanded C．guaranteed D．transformed 29．A．succeeded B．recovered C．quitted D．revenged 30．A．restoration B．change C．loss D．protection 31．A．closely B．efficiently C．independently D．diligently 32．A．stability B．independence C．decline D．security 33．A．maintained B．developed C．returned D．collapsed 34．A．protest against B．give up C．account for D．engage in 35．A．emphases B．limits C．evidences D．gains四、阅读理解The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-tom homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a journalist by profession.Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire.Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.36．Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently?A．Stepping on the American soil for the first time.B．Her mother’s miserable deathC．Being exposed to Greek literary works.D．Following the prettiest girl in his class. 37．It can be inferred from Paragraph Four that ________.A．Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation.B．Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching styleC．The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally firedD．Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students38．The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A．how the author became a journalist B．the importance of inspiration in one’s life C．the teacher who shaped the author’s life D．factors contributing to a successful careerWhen you first arrive in Oxford，it may take a little while for you to find your way around. The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800 years. Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike ( most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account , getting their computer and mobile phone working , finding their department, getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize.One of the major events you will experience shortly after "coming up" to Oxford is matriculation. Matriculation is held at the University's Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you , as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you . The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system, University services, information on living in Britain and culture differences, as well as addressing practical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow student.Another good thing to experience early on is college dining. Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. In this way you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many often historical college grounds and dining halls.Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like bywatching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100 Faces. 39．Which of the following is not the first thing for a newcomer to Oxford to do_______？A．to find a best place to socializeB．to set up a bank accountC．to go to the Sheldonian TheatreD．to get mobile phone working40．When do students feel they are truly admitted to Oxford University______？A．They arrived in Oxford and settled down on campus．B．They received the offer from the admission office．C．They met the staff and took some required courses．D．They experienced the matriculation in the university．41．Why is an orientation important for international students？A．It is a good chance to ask the staff for help．B．It offers practical information about living and studying．C．It helps get students' computers hooked to the Internet．D．It can help deal with the problem of culture differences．42．"Return the favor"in the passage probably means___．A．inviting you for dinnerB．visiting your historic college in returnC．sharing favorite videosD．providing you with some good advice．In the college-admissions wars, we parents are the true fighters. We’re pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes to they can get into the college of our first choice. I’ve twice been to the wars, and as I survey the battlefield, something different is happening. We see our kids’ college background as a prize demonstrating how well we’ve raised them. But we can’t acknowledge that our obsession is more about us than them. So we’ve come up with various justifications that turn out to be half-truths, prejudices or myths. It actually doesn’t matter much whether Aaron and Nicole go to Stanford.We have a full-blown prestige panic; we worry that there won’t be enough prizes to goaround. Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever. Underlying the hysteria (歇斯底里) is the belief that scarce elite degrees must be highly valuable. Their graduates must enjoy more success because they get a better education and develop better contacts. All that is plausible--and mostly wrong. We haven’t found any convincing evidence that selectivity or prestige matters. Selective schools don’t systematically employ better instructional approaches than less selective schools, On two measures- professors’ feedback and the number of essay exams selective schools do slightly worse.By some studies, selective schools do enhance their graduates’ lifetime earnings. The gain is considered at 2-4% for every 100-point increase in a school’s average SAT scores. But even this advantage is probably a statistical fluke (偶然). A well-known study examined students who got into highly selective schools and then went elsewhere. They earned just as much as graduates from higher-status schools.Kids count more than their colleges. Getting into Yale may signify intelligence, talent and ambition. But it’s not the only indicator and its significance is declining. The reason: so many similar people go elsewhere. Getting into college is not life’s only competition. In the next competition--the job market and graduate school-the results may change. Old-boy networks are breaking down. Princeton economist Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph.D．program. High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in; degrees of prestigious universities didn’t.So, parents, lighten up. The stakes (风险) have been vastly exaggerated. Up to a point, we can rationalize (合理化) our pushiness. America is a competitive society; our kids need to adjust to that. But too much pushiness can be destructive. The very ambition we impose on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment. One study found that, other things being equal, graduates of highly selective schools experienced more job dissatisfaction. They may have been so conditioned to being on top that anything less disappoints. 43．Why does the author say that parents are the true fighters in the college-admissions wars?A．They have the final say in which university their children are to attend.B．They know best which universities are most suitable for their children.C．They care more about which college their children go to than the children themselves.D．They have to carry out intensive surveys of colleges before children make an application. 44．What does the author mean by “kids count more than their colleges” Line 1, para.4?A．Continuing education is more important to a person’s success.B．Kids’ actual abilities are more important than their college background.C．A person’s happiness should be valued more than their education.D．What kids learn at college cannot keep up with job market requirements.45．What does Krueger’s study tell us?A．Getting into Ph.D．programs may be more competitive than getting into college.B．Graduates from prestigious universities do not care much about their GRE scores.C．Connections built in prestigious universities may be sustained long after graduation.D．Degrees of prestigious universities do not guarantee entry to graduate programs. 46．According to the passage, one possible result of pushing children into elite universities is that ________.A．they experience more job dissatisfaction after graduationB．they earn less than their peers from other institutionsC．they turn out to be less competitive in the job marketD．they overemphasize their qualifications in job applicationDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.In business, there is a speed difference: It’s the difference between how important firm leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. 47In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.48 They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that oftenleads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. 49 And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. 50 That kind of strategy must come from the top.A．How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better?B．Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals.C．More haste, less speed, which in the study proves wrong.D．Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.E．They valued efficiency rather than consideration.F．They encouraged new ways of thinking.五、书面表达51．Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.It is found that American students spend less than 15% of their time in school. While there’s no doubt that school is important, a number of recent studies remind us that parents are even more so. A study published earlier this month by researchers at North Carolina State University, for example, finds that parental involvement-checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home — has a more powerful influence on students’ academic performance than anything about the school the students attend.So parents matter. But it is also revealed in researches that parents, of all backgrounds, don’t need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give theman advantage. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk.But not just any talk. Recent research has indicated exactly what kinds of talk at home encourage children’s success at school. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health found that two-way adult-child conversations were six times as potent in promoting language development as the ones in which the adult did all the talking.Engaging in this back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thoughts and opinions matter.The content of parents’ conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge. While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remain strong. Research finds that parents play an important role in what is called “academic socialization” — setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals. Engaging in these sorts of conversations has a greater impact on educational accomplishment._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _六、翻译52．意识到犯了大错，我马上向在场所有的人表达了诚挚的歉意。

湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期月考(二)英语试题
湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期月考（二）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Top Chinese Restaurants in the Greater Seattle AreaDumpling GenerationAs the name implies, baskets of steamed dumplings are the move here. The wrappers are hand-rolled—not too thin or thick—and the fillings are savory and juicy. Ifyou prefer a strong taste, get the dumplings that include Chinese chives (韭菜), which have large, flat leaves that aren’t afraid to announce their presence.Xi’an NoodlesBiang biang noodles take their name from the satisfying sound you hear when chefs slap dough (面团) on the counter. The impact creates the specialty noodles of the northwest Chinese city of Xi’an. These chewy, hand-ripped noodles center in most dishes on the menu. Order them as a soup,or as a bowl tossed with spicy cumin (孜然) lamb or just some chili hot oil.Friendship BBQThe Northeastern-Chinese-style grilled baroque restaurant is actually the Seattle branch of a New York-based chain. Meats and seafood come coated in a cumin-forward seasoning with your choice of spice level. Don’t miss the side dishes, including the garlic eggplant, which is roasted until the flesh is covered with a garlic sauce. Despite its authentic taste, you’ll constantly be wowed by its cool new recipes. That’s probably what sets it apart in the Chinese food scene.Imperial GardenThe dim sum menu contains all the favorites and any extras make great takeaway. But Imperial Garden’s star remains the Peking Roast Duck—shaved pieces of meat topped with long narrow pieces of shiny duck skin,served with steamed pancakes. While the restaurant uses white tablecloths and is spacious enough to accommodate large banquets, the vibe (氛围) isn’t formal.1．What do Dumpling Generation and Xi’an Noodles have in common?A．Steamed foods.B．Plain taste.C．Handmade dishes.D．Northwestern origin.2．How is Friendship BBQ different from other Chinese restaurants?A．It’s not locally owned.B．It has innovative spirit.C．It features roasted dishes.D．It has casual atmosphere.3．If you plan to organize a grand family gathering, which is the most suitable place?A．Imperial Garden.B．Dumpling Generation.C．Friendship BBQ.D．Xi’an Noodles.Located among the forests where eagles fly overhead, Jabal Sawda has long been one of Saudi Arabia’s best places for mountaineers. At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three meters shy of Jabal Ferwa.For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto, California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a love for mountaineering. “If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”The twins’ love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012, after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.4．What can we learn about Jabal Sawda?A．It’s Saudi Arabia’s best scenic spot.B．It’s lower than Jabal Ferwa.C．It’s Saudi Arabia’s highest peak.D．It’s better-known than Jabal Ferwa. 5．Why have the twins traveled to different countries in the past decade?A．To write books about mountains.B．To rename the peaks of mountains.C．To identify the highest mountains.D．To challenge other mountaineers. 6．What do Matthew’s words concerning their work imply in paragraph 3?A．It satisfies their curiosity.B．It strengthens their motivation.C．It attracts more mountaineers.D．It guarantees informed choices. 7．Which of the following best describes the twins?A．Ambitious but impractical.B．Determined and adventurous.C．Intelligent and unselfish.D．Peace-loving and eco-friendly.There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn’t treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Should life be fair?We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society—it’s largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to these verity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don’t create fairness, but people’s desire and determination can work around most life challenges.It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us—they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of thefairness.8．What is the primary purpose of the text?A．To promote “efforts over complaint”.B．To stress the importance of fairness.C．To share an inspiring story of a friend.D．To prove that fairness is a state of mind.9．What does the underlined word “abound” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Change fully.B．Remain the same.C．Exist in numbers.D．Disappear completely.10．What opinion may the writer agree with?A．Most of us can affect the results we achieve.B．Our background determines our choices.C．People’s desire and determination create unfairness.D．We should depend on fairness to solve all problems.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Fairness Is JusticeB．Life Is Not Fair—Deal with ItC．Fairness Comes FirstD．Cry for FairnessThe 2010s brought no shortage of miraculous technologies, from tablet computers to4G mobile internet. But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy. During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable (少得可怜的) 1% a year, holding down average wages. Innovative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurous ones did not bother. The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand.Generative AI, its developers say, will be different. Not since the invention of the internet has a new technology so captured the public imagination. The technology is consumer-friendly: within days of its release to the public, Chat GPT, the most famous AI chat bot, had millions of users. It is easy to see how this innovation could improve all types ofwork at all types of firms, from increasing the accuracy of doctors’ diagnoses to helping programmers write software code more efficiently.With that said, for AI to truly spread out in the economy, it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies. And this will take time. Although the internet began to be used by some companies in the early 1990s, it was not until the late 2000s that two-thirds of American businesses had a website. About 70 world’s largest firms still show no interest in AI, according to our analysis. Some evidence even suggests that usage of Chat GPT and its competitors is falling — perhaps as people have tried it out, and then decided it is not for them.Indeed, even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted, because companies tend to use a mix of software and services, some of which may be years or even decades old. Replacing outdated systems can be costly and complicated. Moreover, in the many industries either run or heavily regulated by the government, such as healthcare, education and construction, bosses and trade unions often resist the application of new technology, worried that it will lead to job losses. In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs. But the road to widespread usage, and any resulting productivity boom, will be a long one.12．What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A．How productivity affects average wages.B．Why the 2010s is a productive decade.C．Whether economic growth follows new technologies.D．What innovative companies care for.13．What does the author want to indicate by mentioning Chat GPT in paragraph 2?A．AI’s public imagination.B．Consumers’ enthusiasm.C．AI’s healthy profits.D．AI’s huge potential.14．What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A．Big firms are less motivated to adopt new tech.B．More efforts are needed to advocate AI.C．Chat GPT is falling behind its competitors.D．Websites were uncommon in the early 2000s.15．Which word best describes the author’s attitude towards the future of AI?A．Hopeful.B．Worried.C．Cautious.D．Pessimistic.二、七选五Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. 1617 Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. 18 It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus.It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. 19Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. 20 Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.A．The only time you can make changes is right now.B．With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength.C．You can stay away from the bad habits by regular training.D．Mental strength has a lot in common with physical strength.E．You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.F．Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.G．Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere.三、完形填空Back in the days when I was just a young student, I was always absent from schoolgradually accept the challenges thrown at me.One rainy afternoon, while walking home from school, an accident happened.

新疆乌鲁木齐市第八中学2022-2023学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题及答案
乌鲁木齐市第八中学2022-2023 学年第一学期高三年级第一阶段考试（答案在最后）英语问卷第二部分阅读理解（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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AWhat is identity theft?Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information to take over your credit accounts, open new ones, access bank accounts, or commit many other crimes in your name and at your expense. When it strikes, the effects can be disastrous. What's more, because it frequently involves no physical theft, identity theft may not be noticed by its victims until significant damage has already been done-often several months and thousands of pounds later. It's estimated that more than 100,000 people are affected by identity theft in the UK each year, costing the British economy over £1.3 billion annually.How does it happen?These are some of the ways crooks get hold of your personal information:• Fake emailsYou may receive an email seemingly from, say，your bank requesting that you follow a link and key information into a website that looks very similar to your bank's own site but is in fact a fake.• Pretext p hone callsA crook pretending to be an official from, for example, your bank may phone up asking you to give personal or account details as a security check.• Dishones t peopleSometimes sales assistants, unbeknown (不知情的) to you, swipe your card through a machine which records its details. At the workplace, a fellow employee can use your personal details fraudulently.How can you protect yourself?Be careful who you give your personal details to, and tear up documents like credit-card slips before you throw them away. Don't make this serious crime easy for crooks!1.What do we know about identity theft according to the passage?A. It is a frequent physical theft.B. It is only committed by strangers.C. It is costly to individuals and society.D. It is easy to be noticed by victims.2.Identity theft may happen when _______.A. you receive an email from your bank.B. you give personal details to a fake websiteC. you are requested to pay in cash by sales assistantsD. you tear bank documents before throwing them away3. What is the text?A.A financial survey.B.A history paper.C.A book review.D.A security report.BReal financial security and freedom is not in our job but in our passion. It's easy to define and evaluate a man by his pursuit. Joseph Campbell once said, “Follow your dream and the universe will open doors where there are only walls."In life, we'll always be found doing any of these two things: either making a living or making a difference. Pensions （养老金）and salaries stop many from pursuing excellence while passion unlocks hidden potentials that equip us for challenges and opportunities. A job helps us make a living while passion enables us to make a difference.I want to sincerely help to adjust and clarify the misguided belief among workers that a job is a means of livelihood. Rather, it should be a means to fuel our passion. The earlier you realize thi s basic truth of life, the more clearly you’11 be able to position yourself in living a life of impact and value.The success of Kentucky Fried Chicken（KFC）shows how meaningful it is to pursue your passion instead of your pension. Its founder, Colonel Harland Sanders, didn't realize this until he was given his first social security check of 105 dollars. But he decided that there surely was something to do for himself and other people instead of living on that small pension. He was determined to engage himself in what brought him impact and value. Drawing inspiration from his mother's special recipe for fried chicken, he invented “finger-licking" seasoning with eleven spices and herbs. Despite much rejection, he managed to round up some investors and promote company's rapid expansion to more than 6,000 locations. Sanders’ life pointed towards two facts about making a difference: one, there is no age that is too old to make a difference; two, there is nothing too small or insignificant to make a difference with, as long as it is your passion.4.How does the author support his argument in paragraph 2?A.By listing examples.B.By including a quote.C.By showing contrast.D.By sharing his experience.5.How did Sanders probably feel when offered his first social security check?A. Deeply moved.B. Internally motivatedC. Greatly relieved.D. Pleasantly surprised6.What does the author intend to do ?A.Give career guidance.B.Advise us to pursue our passion.C.Persuade us to get a well-paid job.D.Secure our position.7.What is the best title for this text?A.Following Your DreamsB.Working for PensionC.To Work or not to Work?D.Passion or Pension?COn July 14, 2017, Maryam Mirzakhani, Stanford professor of mathematics and the first female winner of the Fields Medal in Mathematics, died at the age of 40.The news was especially hard-hitting for a generation of younger academics who have always held Maryam as a role model whose example is helping redefine women's status in science and especially mathematics. What was fun was that Maryam always tried to avoid the media's spotlight. Her modesty (谦虚) and simplicity despite being the first woman to gain such high status in the world of mathematics—winning what's often called the "Nobel Prize of math"—stood out to those who knew her.Maryam originally wanted to be a writer, a passion of hers that never faded away even during her postgraduate studies. However, she found an even greater joy in how rewarding it felt to solve mathematical problems. As a student, she was the first female member of Iran's national team to participate in the International Math Olympiad (IMO), and she won two gold medals in two years—still a record.She received her bachelor's degree in Iran and later studied at Harvard. In 2014, Maryam was recognized with the Fields Medal, the highest-ranking award in mathematics. Her work focused on curved surfaces like spheres (球体). Her achievements have applications in other scientific fields including engineering and material science. Unfortunately, at that time she was already tackling the breast cancer.Maryam's legend（传奇）may continue to grow after her early death. Still only 20 percent of full-time math teachers at U.S. universities are women. The example of a woman who rose to the top of this still very male field may help inspire math's next generation.In the same way people think of Marie Curie or Jane Goodall as scientific pioneers, Maryam Mirzakhani will go down in history as a trailblazer as well as a mathematical genius.8.What makes Maryam internationally recognized?A.Her unfading passion for writing.B.Fighting against sexual discrimination.ing under the media's spotlight frequently.D.Being the first female Fields Medal winner.9.What's Maryam's attitude towards fame?A. Resistant.B. Realistic.C. Enthusiastic.D. Doubtful.10.What can we know about Maryam?A.She got her bachelor's degree at Harvard.B.She won gold medals for Iran in IMO.C.She applied mathematics to material science.D.She instructed some female students to reach the top.11.What does the underlined word "trailblazer" mean in the last paragraph?A. Talent.B. Model.C. Pioneer.D. Follower.DIt has been known for some time that children are able to learn at breathtaking speed. But how does it work? That’s what researchers have now found out. Using an artificial intelligence tool and an eye-tracker that tracks the movements of a baby’s eye, scientists from the Thunders Research Institute for Brain, Cognition (认知) and Behavior investigated one of children’s greatest mysteries and came to a surprising conclusion.It may seem very different, but babies are certainly not lying around randomly. “Babies don’t explore the world by chance, with their eyes falling on it. Babies have a strategy if they want to understand the world. First, they look for those pieces of information that allow them to understand other information faster and more efficiently. On the contrary, if they see an object or event from which they can learn nothing further, they simply reject it. Only the information useful to them, they select,” says Dr Francesco Poli.That sounds easier, even for a baby, than done. Because how does a baby know what is important and what is not?“Let’s take a good example: learning to talk. What we see as always is that babies who are about to say their first word begin to investigate a few weeks before how to use their mouths to talk. Instead of looking at the eyes in faces, they study carefully for weeks the mouths of the people who talk to them. So they are in a constant state of maximum learning capacity!”“Babies build their knowledge. They are like little scientists who like to see their idea challenged. For example, they learn very quickly that objects fall down and don’t just disappear. And this is why they love bubbles (泡沫) so much: they do float up and then disappear!”12.What is the surprising conclusion about children?A.They are breathtakingly fast learners.B.They possess exceptional intelligence.C.They explore the world purposefully.D.They are attracted to all information.13.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Studying further.B.Observing the world.C.Learning strategically.D.Understanding information.14.Why can bubbles fascinate babies greatly?A.They challenge babies’ existing cognition.B.They prove what babies have just learned.C.They make little scientists’ life colorful.D.They float up quickly and don’t just disappear.15.Which word can best describe baby learners according to the author?A. Consistent and persistent.B. Observant and capable.C. Confident and optimistic.D. Dynamic and responsible.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。

AThe Horizontal Oak: A life in NatureBy Poly Pullar,Growing up in a remote region of the Scottish Highlands, Polly Pullar’s childhood was pleasant, simple, and peaceful. But the wild beauty formed a backdrop to a series of major family tragedies. This is the story of how she rebuilt her life from the ground up, supported by the natural world around herWildlife WalksBy Charlotte Varela,Bloomsbury,￡16.99Take a walk through the Wildlife Trusts' nature reserves with this handy guide that showcases some of our nation’s best forests, moors, woodlands and coastal locations. Each walk includes a description of the site, instructions on how to get there, available facilities and the route’s walking time.Where the Seals SingBy Susan Richardson,William Collins, ￡20Having long been fascinated by seals, Susan Richardson sets out to follow their pupping season (繁殖季). As she journeys from Cornwall to Norfolk, she learns more about these mystical creatures, while sharing personal stories about the comforting role they have played during times of grief or anxiety in her own life.In the Name of PlantsBy Sandra Knapp,University of Chicago Press, ￡20Botanist Sandra Knapp digs into the stories behind plant names, exploring the people who have been immortalized (使永生), from Benjamin Franklin to Lady Gaga. The 30 plants inside are accompanied by botanical drawings from the Natural History Museum.1．Which of the books does not involve a story?A．The Horizontal Oak: A Life in Nature B．Wildlife WalksC．Where the Seals Sing D．In the Name of Plants2．What can be inferred from the text?A．There are probably plants named after Lady Gaga.B．Susan Richardson introduces seals’ life in her book.C．Polly Pullar offers readers a tourist guide of Scottish Highlands.D. You can read Charlotte Varela’s book if you want to visit nature reserves by car.3．Where can we most probably read the text？A．A geographic textbook. B．A travel brochure.C．A magazine on wildlife. D．A website about plants.BIt was June 14 and the last day of middle school had arrived.I had spent the past couple of months trashing and treasuring all the things that I hadaccumulated in my classroom over the past 19 years. Looking into my classroom, you can see about two dozen boxes and bins inside, piled nearly three-quarters high to the ceiling, all packed and ready for the big move. The 22-million-dollar restoration work was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go.My parents Michael and Donna, wife Laura and newborn baby Summer had arrivedthat day. The students had heard so much about my daughter and were excited to meet her for the first time. My mother was there to help organize my classroom nearly 19 years ago and hadn’t seen it since. My father had visited on a few occasions, as had my wife. That day marked not only the end of an era for me, but the dawning of a new beginning.The day before, I had thrown a party for my students. The feelings were mixed, as Iknew that this would be the farewell (告别) party in my classroom of 19 years and the last time I would see all of these students together. I thought back to when they were all in middle school and would visit me in my classroom on my birthday. They made it an annual tradition. I will treasure these moments for the rest of my life.Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe (敌人), a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk. I’ve learned over the years in working with over 2, 000 children that looking atthings from an optimistic perspective and taking the time to foster relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place. No matter what a person’s life circumstances may be, you can be the change in their life that will bring them a sense of self-worth, which will ultimately provide them with the opportunity to become who they are meant to be. They might go on to change the world.4．Why did the author pack his things in the classroom?A．He was doing a cleaning.B．He would quit his job as a teacher.C．The classroom would soon be restored.D．His students were graduating from middle school.5．Why are the writer’s family members mentioned in paragraph 3? .A．To explain the family’s relations with his students. B．To demonstrate the family’s involvement in his job.C．To list the family’s contribution to the classroom.D．To show the family’s expectations for a new beginning.6．What does the writer intend to convey in the last paragraph?A．Think of the end in every beginning.B．Change happens for better or for worse.C．It is no good feeling attached to a place.D．A positive attitude brings forth good changes.7．What’s the tone of the writer in writing the article?A．Bittersweet. B．Sad. C．Excited. D．Unconcemed.COne of the many aspects of “normal” life that SARS-CoV-2 took away was the enjoyment of live musical performances. With the easing of lockdowns and restrictions in many parts of the world, performers can entertain audiences once again, but concerns about spreading the virus remain. Now, a research reported in ACS Environmental Au have studied aerosol (悬浮颗粒) production from playing wind instruments, singing and acting, allowing them to develop recommendations to minimize COVID transmission.Early in the pandemic, COVID-19 outbreaks from choir performances indicated that singing carries a potential infection risk, but less is known about the risks of airborne infection from wind instruments. To help keep performers, audiences and music studentssafe, Tehya Stockman, Shelly Miller and colleagues wanted to examine aerosol production and flow in the air from various musical activities, as well as test different solutions.The researchers examined the extent and speed of air circulation, or small drops of substances, coming from singers’ and actors’ mouths and from wind instruments, such as the flute, clarinet (单簧管), trumpet and saxophone. They also measured airborne aerosols and carbon dioxide levels exhaled from the performers. They found that aerosol concentrations coming from the bell of a clarinet were comparable to singing. Placing a surgical mask over a singer’s face or over the clarinet bell sharply reduced the extent and speed of air circulation and decreased aerosol concentrations in front of the masks. The team then used these measurements to model virus transmission in indoor and outdoor environments, finding that the lowest risk of airborne COVID-19 infection occurred at less than 30 minutes of exposure indoors and less than 60 minutes outdoors. These findings could help musical rehearsals and performances continue in a safer manner for musicians and audiences, the researchers say.8．What is the purpose of the research?A．To remove lockdowns and restrictions.B．To promote live musical performances.C．To find ways to reduce spread of the virus.D．To reduce aerosol production from instruments.9．What have the researchers done to keep people safe?A．They have increased air flow from various musical activities.B．They have indicated that singing carries a possible infection risk.C．They have tried to measure the risk of infection from instruments.D．They have found out approaches to preventing aerosol production. 10．What does the underlined word “exhale” mean in Paragraph 3?A．breath out B．give away C．take in D．test out 11．Which of the following is a finding of the research?A．Less than 30 minutes of exposure indoors avoids virus transmission.B．Using a surgical mask can reduce the risks of airborne virus infection.C．The manner of the musicians and audiences affects the risks of infection.D．Aerosol concentrations from a clarinet is much more obvious than singing.DCan you imagine there being a community where boys and girls growing up together can finally speak different 1anguages? In Ubang, Nigeria, it really happens. It’s not exactly clear what percentage of the words in the men’s and women’s languages are different, but there are enough examples to make sentences sound different when spoken by the opposite sex. For “clothing”, men use the word “nki”, while women say “ariga”; “kitchi” means tree for men, while women say “okweng”. These are not just some slight pronunciation differences, but totally different words. “It’s almost like two different lexicons (词汇集),” a language expert, Chi Chi Undie said. “There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don’t sound alike, and don’t have the same letters. They are completely different words.”Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue. It seems that there is a stage the male will reach and he discovers he is not using the rightful language. When he starts speaking the men’s language, you know the maturity is coming into him.No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. Chi Chi Undie believes the two languages are the result of a “double-sex culture” where men and women operate and live in separate worlds that rarely come together. However, she admits this is a weak theory, as the double-sex culture is present in many parts of Africa, where there are no different languages for men and women.Today, with English words constantly entering the lexicon of young Nigerians, Ubang’s two languages are in danger of being lost forever. Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation.12．What do we know about languages in Ubang?A．A majority of words are different in the two languages.B．Men and women speak completely different languages.C．Men and women have different pronunciation for the same word.D．There are obvious differences in languages between the opposite sex. 13．Why can men and women understand each other despite the differences?A．Their vocabularies sound alike.B．Their parents teach them both languages.C．The men can speak two different languages.D．They are exposed to both languages in childhood.14．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The origin of “double-sex culture” B．The formation of the two languages.C. Further exploration of other areas.D. Doubt about the language tradition.15．Why are the two languages disappearing?A．Young people in Ugang use more English words.B．The two languages are too difficult for the young.C．Neither of the language is written down.D．The “double-sex culture” has changed.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读短文，从短文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

广东省广州市华南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题
广东省广州市华南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Inspired by his mentor Louis Sullivan, an influential figure in the world of modernist architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright coined the term “organic architecture” around 1908.Rather than imitating nature or organic elements within the natural world, organic architecture is more concerned with re-interpretation of nature and harmony between the organic and the built environment. It ensures that the individual elements within buildings are put together to reflect the order within nature. Here are four of the most striking examples.Casa MilàLocation: Barcelona, SpainYear of completion: 1910Architect: Antoni CaudiConsidered the greatest master of Catalan Modernism, Antoni Gaudi was devoted to nature and the Catholic religion. While he originally intended this organic building to have a religious purpose, it is now an apartment building. True to the organic style, it features honey shapes that seemingly emerge from the earth.Learning Hub at Nanyang Technological University (NTU)Location: SingaporeYear of completion: 2015Architect: Thomas HeatherwickEarning the nicknames “dim sum basket building” and “the Hive”, the Learning Hub consists of 12 eight-storey towers arranged around a public atrium (天井). The organic nature of the building extends to its interior with features like gardens that are intended to encourage social interactions and study among students.Falling WaterLocation: Mill Run, PennsylvaniaYear of completion:1939Architect: Frank Lloyd WrightA classic of modernism and organic architecture, Falling Water sits on top of a waterfall.Frank Lloyd Wright designed it for the Kaufmann family who—though they had originally hoped for a view of the waterfall-came to love the home.East Beach CaféLocation: Littlehampton, UKYear of completion: 2007Architect: Thomas HeatherwickLocated in a seaside area with an industrial history, East Beach Caféresembles a piece of driftwood. Forty meters long, seven meters wide and five meters high, it initially polarized locals, but has since been well-received by the whole community. It was the first building for Thomas Heatherwick who previously was better known as a sculptor.1．Which building was designed to serve a religious purpose?A．Casa Milà.B．Learning Hub at NTU.C．Falling Water.D．East Beach Cafe.2．What do we know about the four buildings in the text?A．They are architectural classics of modernism.B．They feature imitations of animals or elements in nature.C．East Beach Café was not welcomed by all the locals initially.D．The designer of Learning Hub at NTU invented’ the concept “organic architecture’’. 3．Which of the following magazines is the text probably taken from?A．National Geographic.B．Architectural Digest.C．Organic Gardening.D．BBC History“Dana, how are you feeling today?” I ask, my eyes clocking her dirty uniform, and the dark circles under her eyes.“OK,” Dana mumbles (嘟囔).“Have you eaten today?”She nods. Another lie.“Can I get you anything?” But what could I possibly get her? A bedroom of her own? A family with love?“No, thanks.”Her repeated absence from school recently has worn out teachers’ patience. But I don’t want to send her back to class: What use is it knowing all the square numbers and all thegrammatical rules when she has to work out how to wash, cook and decide between feeding herself or her younger sister?“A biscuit?” I offer. It works and Dana takes the biscuit I hand het.I remember the first time I met Dana, the day after she locked herself in the house when her mum abandoned the family, I remember thinking how young she was to have built such a high wall around herself and how on earth I could possibly break through. As a social worker, it is my job to knock down such walls no matter how.I know it would take more than a biscuit to ease out one of her bricks. But I will try.“How are you feeling?” I push slightly, hoping the biscuit might have softened her.“OK,” she shrugs. I’m about change topics when her eyes rest on my arm.“How does that feel, Mia?” Dana stares at me. The sleeve of my blouse has rolled up, evidence of how deep I had put it into the biscuit can. A deep scar along my arm is obvious against my fair skin.I roll my sleeve back down, “It’s from a fire. It hurt. But everything will be OK when you think it’s OK.”Dana pauses and picks up another biscuit. In that instant, I know something has changed in the room and we might actually be OK.4．Why is Dana often absent from school?A．Because she locks herself up.B．Because school lessons are useless.C．Because she is struggling with life.D．Because she is disliked by her teachers. 5．What do we know about Mia?A．She tries to reach out to Dana.B．She is sensitive about her scar.C．She is a demanding social worker.D．She works to improve parent-child relationship.6．What does the ending of the text imply?A．Mia gains a better understanding of Dana.B．The atmosphere is happy andharmonious.C．Troubled teens require more care and support.D．A close bond is forming between Mia and Dana.7．What is a suitable title for the text?A．OK B．Biscuits C．A white lie D．A deep scarStrict-sounding teachers are worse at inspiring the classroom than their kind colleagues, research has revealed. A ground-breaking psychological study from The University of Essex showed “controlling sounding voices” didn’t gain cooperation from 10-16-year-olds.It discovered that youngsters faced with a strict teacher were more likely to resist, their well-being was affected, and they were less likely to reveal they were facing problems—like bullying. This is because students felt unable to express themselves when faced with a more controlling tone. Whereas a supportive-sounding voice inspired a connection to a teacher which increased their intention to cooperate.People often think about what teachers say to their students but rarely talk about how they say it. But the tone of voice teachers use really matters and the way we adjust our voice can have profound effects on listeners.The study published in the British Journal of Educational Psychology explored teachers’ tone of voice in children’s education. Pre-recorded teachers’ voices were played to 250 children who were then asked to judge how’ the tone affected them. They were asked to rate how it would affect factors such as competence, emotions, trust and their intention to cooperate. Children reacted much better to supportive voices while controlling tones led to lower self-esteem and teachers’ sound samples were perceived to be less trustworthy.The research is hoped to influence teacher training and help boost classroom results. Future studies may head out of the lab and into schools to see where improvements can be made.Professor Weinstein, Head of the Department of Psychology at Essex said: “Tone of voice is a powerful way to convey teachers’ caring, understanding, or openness. It’s easy to forget when we are stressed or tired, but teachers can provide a positive learning environment when they are thoughtful in how they use their tone of voice.”8．What seems to be the problem with strict-sounding teachers?A．They fail to control their voices.B．They never inspire their students.C．They are less likely to get cooperation.D．They don’t care about kids’ well-being.9．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．A doubt about the research methods.B．An explanation of the research process.C．Supporting evidence for the research results.D．Potential application of the research findings.10．What is the significance of the study?A．It improves teachers’ academic performance.B．It analyzes where improvements can be made.C．Future studies will be carried our in the schools.D．Its finding can be useful in training better teachers.11．What does Professor Weinstein suggest teachers do?A．They should carry on when they are stressed or tired.B．They should learn to use their tone of voice properly.C．They should improve the environment of the classroom.D．They should be thoughtful in how they convey emotions.Anyone can be late a handful of times, but to be the person who is always late—that’s an art, a frustrating art. Or, a side effect of your personality, scientists have found.So what is it that causes some people to constantly miss trains, make it to the wedding just after the bride’s shown up and regularly annoy their friends? And why is it so hard for us to fix it? “There are allsorts of punishments for being late, but we are still late even when those punishments and consequences exist.” said Justin Kruger, a social psychologist at New York University.One of the commonest reasons why people are frequently late is that-they fail to accurately judge how long a task will take—something known as the planning fallacy. Research has shown that people on average underestimate the tune to complete a task by a significant 40 percent.Besides, forever-late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers. A 2023 study found that out of 181subway operators in New York City, those who preferred multitasking were more often late for their job. This is because multitasking makes it harder to have the awareness of what you’re doing. It’s also discovered there is a personality type that’s more likely to be late. While highly nervous, achievement-oriented Type A individuals arc more possible to be punctual, Type B individuals, however, who are calmer and more relaxed, have a higher chance to be late.Admittedly, knowing all of this doesn’t necessarily help fix the problem. But scientistsare starting to work on strategies that can slowly improve our punctuality. For people who constantly underestimate tasks, breaking down an activity into detailed steps can help people estimate how long something will take more accurately. As for your personality type, unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do to change that. But accepting that you need to struggle for it may just help. Acceptance, after all, is the first step to change.12．What does the underlined word “fallacy” mean in paragrqph3?A．A reasonable argument.B．A mistaken belief.C．A modest expectation.D．A realistic idea.13．Which of the following is a feature of forever- late-comers?A．They tackle more than one task at a time.B．They plan to spend longer time on a task.C．They suffer from concentration difficulties.D．They have high expectations for achic’vcments.14．What is a possible way to help those who are always late?A．Learning to accept who you are.B．Changing your personality type.C．Keeping to the timetable accurately.D．Divide a task into smaller ones. 15．What is the main idea of the text?A．Late comers should be severely punished.B．Time management contributes to success.C．The habit of being late is related to character.D．Accepting your personality improves punctuality.二、七选五Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physicalimperfections. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image? Here are some ideas.Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well?

ACan you resist cream cakes? I miss my sugar! I’ve decided to lose weight and I had to give up cakes. It’s difficult because I have a sweet tooth and I love cream cakes.Not having treats can be good for your health. I’ve heard that the Burts, a family of five in South East England，lived sugar free for a whole year after they found out their daughter had diabetes (糖尿病).It wasn’t easy. To avoid temptation, I don’t go to any bakeries, but this family actually owns one, which makes up to 3 ,000 cakes a week.They were in shock when the doctor said that their 16-year-old Lucy had to check her blood sugar levels regularly and take insulin (胰岛素). He advised her to eat a normal,balanced diet,but the Burts went further and got rid of sugar altogether.And how does it feel to live without sugar for a while? Jason Burt said that for a month they felt weak. But later on it all changed. He says he feels “more awake” and full of energy.And what about the Burt family business? It had to keep using half a ton of sugar a week and any cook worth his salt knows that you have to taste a recipe to know if it’s right. No problem there,says Jason Burt’s wife, Clare. She points out that she’s got lots of people offering to taste the cakes for them. The family is also thinking about selling more delicious products.I wonder what makes us have a strong desire for sweet food. Anyway, I’ve decided to forget about the sweet taste of sugar for a while. As British model Kate Moss says：“Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”21．From the passage, what do we know about the author?A．The author runs a bakery.B．The author hates sweet taste.C．The author is on a diet.D．The author’s daughter had diabetes.22．What did the Burts do after hearing the doctor’s advice?A．They were shocked.B．They went too far about it.C．They used half a ton of sugar a week.D．They avoided sugar completely.23．From the passage we can learn it is necessary for a cook .A．to make up to 3 ,000 cakes a weekB．to taste a recipe to know if it’s rightC．to get lots of people offering to taste the cakesD．to selling more delicious products24．What does the sentence by Kate Moss mean?A.It is worthwhile to resist food to look skinny.B．There is nothing tasting as good as sweets.C．Nothing tastes good when the skin feels terrible.D．Nobody can resist the desire for sweets.BParents will do anything for their children. Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live in,parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the big-gest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of diffi-culties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school,public school or home schooling.Fortunately for parents，there are a variety of different strategies that they can take in order to in-crease their child’s overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychol-ogy at the University of California at Davis, a child’s brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an in-strument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential for a child’s mental as well as physical health. Some other researchers recommended that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. They state that three to four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four would work perfectly fine for a child’s brain development.The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get,the easier the process will be.25．From the first paragraph, we can infer that .A．parents find it hard to satisfy their kids’ various demandsB．parents meet a new challenge when raising their kidsC．parents have more choices in offering education to their kidsD．parents get actively involved in the process of their kids’ growth26．What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?A．To train kids as early as possible.B．To try as many means as possible.C．To help kids develop as fully as possible.D．To use as many available resources as possible.27．What does the third paragraph mainly discuss about?A．The proper time to teach children to learn languages.B．The effective ways to help develop children’s brains.C．The vital factors to have a great effect on children’s health.D．The practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.28．We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with .A．inspiration B．introduction C．suggestion DvpromotionCOne of the greatest gifts one generation can give to other generations is the wisdom it has gained from experience. This idea has inspired the award-winning photographer Andrew Zuckerman. He interviewed and took photos of fifty over-sixty-five-year-olds all over the world.

In1995,historian Frances Wood argued in her book Did Marco Polo Go to China ?that the famous explorer from Venice never made it to pass the Black Sea. She noted that his travel journal left out the Great Wall of China,chopsticks and tea drinking among other details.Furthermore, Chinese documents from Polo’s day made no mention of the explorer and his men. Last year, a team of Italian researchers became the latest to challenge Polo’s accounts. They said that evidence didn’t support his description of Kublai Khan’s Japanese invasions (侵略）.Now, however, research by Hans Ulrich V ogel of Germany’s Tubingen University might help prove Marco Polo was true. In a new book Marco Polo Was in China，the professor of Chinese history tries to prove that Marco Polo spoke the truth. He suggests, for example, that Polo didn’t include the Great Wall in his book because it only achieved its great importance in the Ming Dynasty several hun-dred years later. V ogel further explains that Chinese records from the 13th and 14th centuries avoided setting down visits from Westerners.Historians before him have touched on these issues. But V ogel also relies on another evidence:the explorer’svery detailed descriptions of currency and salt production in the Yuan Dynasty. Accord-ing to V ogel, Polo documented these aspects of Mongol Chinese culture in greater detail than any oth-er of his time. This is a hint that Polo relied on his own powers of observation.Will we ever know whether Marco Polo traveled to China? Perhaps not, but the consequences of his real or fictional journey are still felt across the globe. One reader of The travels of Marco Polo was Christopher Columbus,who stepped upon the New World while following his idol’s footsteps.33．France Wood doubted Marco Polo’s travel’s to China because his description .A．missed some important culture of China B．covered so much about traders’ lifeC．was full of obvious mistakes D．seemed less detailed34．V ogel’s trust on Marco Polo is based on the argument that .a．The Great Wall didn’ t gain its importance thenb．Records in the Yuan Dynasty mentioned Poloc．Polo mentioned the currency and salts．Polo’s other works are believablee.Polo recorded what he saw in great detailA．a, b, d B．a, c, d C．a, e D．b，c 35．Which of the following shows the structure of the text?A B C D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。
