2023届广东省茂名市高三第一次综合测试英语试题(含答案解析)
2023届广东省茂名市高三第一次综合测试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Here are some of the prettiest small towns across Europe,from humble fishing towns to hilltop medieval power bases.Giethoorn,NetherlandsThey call it the Dutch answer to Venice,but Giethoorn lacks one crucial thing that the Italian city has in spades:over tourism.As in Venice,life revolves around the water,here-there are no cars in the center so the only way to get around is on foot or on the water.Roscoff,FrancePort towns can be rather dirty.Not lovely little Roscoff,though,in France’s Brittany region,which built its fortune on maritime trade.Today,it’s a center of thalassotherapy,using seawater to treat medical conditions,as well as a beautiful Breton town.Tiny fishing boats rest in the small harbor-with a larger one,where ferries leave for Plymouth in the UK,further out.Dinkelsbühl,GermanyA cute historic center,wooden houses and large towers—Dinkelsbühl has it all. Wrapped by medieval walls with a vast Gothic church,St George’s Minster,it was the setting for Werner Herzog’s film“The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser.”Clovelly,UKDonkeys used to be the only way to get up and down the steep streets of Clovelly,a pretty fishing village in Devon,southwest England.Today,they still haven’t managed to bring cars in—it sits at the bottom of a400-foot cliff(悬崖).Instead,goods are transported by man-powered sledges(雪橇)and if tourists can’t face the walk back up to the car park,they can grab a ride in a Land Rover instead. 1．Where should visitors go if they want to receive a health treatment? A．Giethoorn.B．Roscoff.C．Dinkelsbühl.D．Clovelly. 2．What can visitors do at Clovelly?A．Take a boat tour.B．Drive a car.C．Get around on foot.D．Take a man-powered sledge.A．To amuse readers.B．To tell the history.C．To educate tourists.D．To introduce sights.Imagine the most English-English person you can think of.Now I’m fairly certain that no matter what picture you just thought up,that person comes complete with a stiff upper lip and a cup of tea in their hand,because that’s what the English do.They carry on and they drink tea.Tea is so utterly English,such a rooted part of the culture,that it’s also rooted in how everyone else around the world perceives that culture.And while it’s fairly common knowledge that Westerners have China to thank for the original cultivation of tea drinking,it’s far less known that it was the Portuguese who inspired its popularity in England in particular,one Portuguese woman.Travel back in time to1662,when Catherine of Braganza(daughter of Portugal’s King John IV)won the hand of England’s newly restored monarch,King Charles II,with the help of a very large dowry(嫁妆)that included money,spices,treasures and the highly profitable ports of Tangiers and Bombay.This made her one very important lady:the Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland.When she relocated up north to join King Charles,she is said to have packed loose-leaf tea as part of her personal belongings;it would also have likely been part of her dowry.A fun legend has it that the boxes were marked Iransporte de Ervas Aromaticas(Transport of Aromatic Herbs)later shortened to T.E.A．That last bit probably isn’t true(experts believe the word“tea”came from a Chinese character),but what is for sure is that tea was already popular among the upper class of Portugal due to the country’s direct trade line to China via Macau.4．What do people think of tea drinking in Britain?A．Typical.B．Fashionable.C．Incredible.D．Unusual. 5．Who promoted the fashion of tea drinking in England?A．Common Westerners.B．The Chinese people.C．Portugal’s King John IV.D．The Queen of King Charles II.6．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?B．The word‘tea’came from Portuguese marks on the boxes.C．Tea became popular in Portugal earlier than it did in England.D．The direct trade line between China and England developed because of tea. 7．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．The story behind British tea drinking.B．The legend of tea drinking in Portugal.C．The origin of Westerners’tea drinking.D．The history of tea trade between China and Britain.Will skipping breakfast make me fat?The good news for those who don’t have breakfast is that putting on weight isn’t inevitable—as long as you control those high-calorie desires and stay active.Research shows that although avoiding breakfast will make you hungrier and you might make up for that with a bigger lunch,this won’t necessarily make you“fatter”—on average, those who skip breakfast don’t eat more across the whole day than if they didn’t skip it.Some researchers have found that you may even eat fewer calories overall,and end up using your body’s fat reserves for energy,which can actually help you lose weight.However,weight isn’t the only consideration:studies show that breakfast-skippers are likely to exercise less.This may be because they have lower energy levels-after eight hours or so without food,the body will have used up most of its stores of easy-to-access energy during sleep.Morning fasters are also more likely to have unhealthy,but appetite-suppressing habits, such as smoking or drinking a lot of coffee.If you want to ensure that you eat a regular,nutritious breakfast,try preparing it the night before don’t leave it until the morning,when your brain struggles to make good decisions.If you do skip breakfast...■Don’t make up for it with a huge lunch,otherwise you’ll suffer overeating.■Make sure you eat something before you exercise,or you risk“hitting the wall”.■Don’t make up for lack of energy with coffee-it can make you lose your appetite and make you anxious and nervous.8．What does the underlined word“inevitable”mean in Paragraph2? A．Unbelievable.B．Unavoidable.C．Uncomfortable.D．Unbearable.A．They do more exercise.B．They stay active all day.C．They reserve their body fat.D．They take in fewer calories. 10．What is Paragraph3mainly about?A．Aims of the studies.B．Ways of losing weight. C．Effects of skipping breakfast.D．Suggestions for breakfast-skippers. 11．What is the author’s attitude towards skipping breakfast?A．Objective.B．Positive.C．Negative.D．Doubtful.The wires,screens and batteries that make up our devices-not to mention the plastic, metal and other materials that package them-are filling up landfills.Some e-waste is relatively large:old phones and air conditioners,for instance.Other e-waste is more hidden, such as electronic single-use medical diagnostic kits,environmental sensors,and smart labels that contain one-off batteries and other equipment.“It’s these small batteries that are big problems,”says public health scientist Dele Ogunseitan,who was not involved in developing the battery.”Nobody really pays attention to where they end up.Researchers at the Cellulose&Wood Materials Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology(Empa)are working to address this problem.Their new paper in Scientific Reports describes a paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.The paper battery has the same key components as standard batteries but packages them differently.Like a typical chemical battery,it has-a positively charged side called a cathode (正极),a negatively charged side called an anode(负极),and a conductive material called an electrolyte(电解质)between the two.A traditional battery’s components are packaged in plastic and metal;in the new battery,the anode and cathode are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper.That paper is filled with salt,which dissolves(溶解)when the paper is dampened with water.The resulting saltwater solution acts as the electrolyte.When the paper is dry,the battery is shelf-stable.Add just a couple of drops of water, however,and the salt dissolves,allowing electrons to flow.Once the paper is dampened,the battery becomes active within20seconds.The new battery’s operating performance declinesfunctionality and lasted an hour before beginning to dry out again.12．What can we infer about small disposal batteries according to Dele Ogunseitan? A．They are no big problems.B．They need to be addressed.C．They should be made larger.D．They are environmentally friendly.13．What’s special about the new battery?A．It has a cathode and an anode.B．It has different key components.C．Its cathode and anode are printed on paper.D．Its components are packaged in plastic and metal.14．What is used to make the new battery start to operate?A．Salt.B．Metal.C．Ink.D．Water.15．In which section can we find the text?A．Advances.B．Reviews.C．Culture.D．Opinion.二、七选五Four surprising ways to boost your heart health As much as80percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices.Some strategies,such as exercising and managing weight,are well known. __16__“A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run,”says preventive cardiologist Dr.Beth Abramson,a spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke(中风)Foundation of Canada.pressure,inflammation and glucose levels.__17____18__Doing good for others helps your self-respect and relieves stress.Research issued in Psychosomatic Medicine in2016showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke.Depending on the type of work you do,volunteering might even increase your physical activity.Avoid polluted air.Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease.__19__Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts,and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor.Laugh.A2016study in the Journal of Epidemiology of more than20,000people over the age of65found a lower risk of cardiovascular(心血管的)disease in those who reported laughing every day.__20__It may also serve as a mini-workout,helping your circulation and protecting the health of your arteries(动脉).A．Be kind to others.B．Engage in volunteer work.C．You should laugh everyday.D．Laughter reduces stress and depression.E．But others may not have crossed your mind.F．These factors can all have an impact on heart health.G．Even short periods of it are unhealthy for people with other cardiovascular risks三、完形填空One day,a vendor(小贩)came to our doorstep,selling bundles of vegetables priced at one dollar per bundle.My mom’s__21__was50cents,no more than that,but she__22__to buy four bundles at that price.Politely declaring that she wouldn’t even__23__the cost at that price,the vendor walked away.After taking four steps ahead,however,she__24__and shouted,“Make it75centermom’s bid.My mom paid the money.The vendor took it without even counting.As she__28__,she swayed(摇晃)due to apparent dizziness.My mom held her hands and asked whether she had had any__29__in the morning.The vendor said,“No,I will need to buy some with today’s earnings.”My mom asked her to sit down,__30__inside,came back swiftly with some food and drink and offered them to the vendor.The vendor hungrily and__31__,finished them all.

AI am so appreciating my daughters today and all that we learned while we were growing together. I am especially grateful for the activities that centered on kindness and brought joy to us at the same time.At one time we decided to bake bread for the homeless community(社区) on the beach near our home. We took 2 days during each week to bake mini loaves of bread and also took cheese of each person. As this project went on (eventually for more than two years), one of my daughters started having short conversations with each person she gave bread to.Eventually we brought some playing cards and checkers and played with some of the people, too. Soon several of our friends joined us and we began to make full lunches once a week for this community.Years later when I saw one of the previous free lunch receivers, they would come up to me, share a nice memory from that time as well as how much the kindness meant to them and have some friendship with children, too. We had great fun together.Both of my daughters, now grown with kids of their own, still take time to do kind things for others and community service projects and then share that with me. I am grateful for a focus away from self and to find real joy and purpose in being kind.1. What did the author do?A. She enjoyed the visit from those who had been provided with free lunch.B. She began to communicate with people who received food.C. She baked bread for people around with kindness.D. She purchased and gave out playing cards and checkers alone.2. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. the author achieved great success due to great effortsB. the author wanted to get appreciation from othersC. the author’s generosity can bring her good luckD. the author’s daughters were influenced by h er behaviors3. Which of the following best describes the author?A. Selfish.B. Modest.C. Warm-hearted.D. Strong-willed.BThe Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and entertainment. We can find new recipes on the Internet or advice on staying healthy. We can even use it to learn a new language and connect with family and friends.As far as the Internet being a part of our lives —well, that train has left the station. This expression means there is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers.A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in an unlikely group — teenagers. The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online were more likely to have high blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause heart and kidney(肾)disease. It is also closely linked to some forms of dementia(痴呆), a brain disease. Dementia is marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and a reduced ability to reason.The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people from 14 to 17 years old participated in it. One hundred and thirty-four of the teens were described as “heavy Inte rnet users.” Researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure.The lead researcher of the study is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. In a statement she said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life but it shouldn’t consume us.” For th e purpose of the study, she explains, teens considered heavy Internet users were online on “average 25 hours a week.” Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take “regular breaks from their computers or smartphones” and to do some “kind of physical activity.”4. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?A. The train has stopped at the wrong station.B. There is something wrong with the train.C. Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found.D. The train has changed its course.5. If a person suffers from Dementia, he ________.A. will remember everything clearlyB. will change his characterC. will develop a brain cancerD. can do analysis accurately6. What is the percentage of young “heavy Internet users” with high blood pressure?A. 26%.B. 14%.C. 25%.D. 19%.7. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The Internet Does Harm to the Study.B. Too Much Internet May Be Bad for Teenagers.C. We Should Stop Using the Internet. .D. High Blood Pressure Is around the Corner.CA man thirsts for adventure. Often the journey is the destination itself, and you can learn a lot from a brief adventure into the wild. Here are four types of outdoor adventures that every man should attempt to take.1. The Ascent(登高)Mountain climbing and backpacking is one way to truly test your limits. It’s a test of mental and physical strength. Besides, it often requires months of preparation. There are plentiful famous mountains notable for being extremely challenging for even the most dedicated climbers. The one thing they all have in common is that they attract a certain type of a person: one with a desire to defeat nature.2. The Solo(单独的) TripGoing out into the wild, alone, is one of the scariest things a lot of people could ever imagine. If you take proper precautions, a solo trip can be a very freeing and rewarding experience. Particularly if you have some heavy things going on in your life — perhaps a failing relationship, switching careers, or financial conflict — getting away from everyone and everything can put you in tune with nature, and with yourself.3. The Open OceanWhether you find yourself in a kayak(皮船), sailboat, or any other kind of water boat, getting out on the water arouses some very special feelings. Nothing quite compares to having a gentle wind in your face, as you stare out at the vast and glassy expanse of the open water.4. Endurance(耐力) ChallengeThis is when you’re serious about putting your life on hold, and getting away from it all. Endurance, in this case, can mean a number of things.Trips like this can last months, and include thousands of miles. But they will test every fiber of your being —psychologically, you’ll be in constant battle. Physically, you’ll be tired and hungry almost all the time. And all of those things make these types of adventures the extreme test of will. You can climb mountains, deserts, rivers and lakes.8. What is the common point of the well-known challenging mountains?A. They appeal to people who are eager to overcome nature.B. They are beautiful enough to attract visitors.C. They are suitable for those who are experienced.D. They draw the attention of people who are well-prepared..9. A person is likely to choose a solo trip when he ________.A. has a stable jobB. makes a big fortuneC. succeeds in finishing a difficult taskD. has trouble in dealing with the relationship10. What can be regarded as an endurance challenge?A. A bike ride across the United States.B. A short trip to the countryside.C. A relaxing walk around a park.D. A pleasant return to nature.11. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal to more people to take adventures.B. To introduce four types of outdoor adventures.C. To compare four types of outdoor adventures.D. To present the difficulties of four types of outdoor adventures.DUnable to turn its fortunes around, Yahoo is reportedly thinking about selling its pioneering Internet business.The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that Yahoo’s board will meet several times this week, during which the company’s directors will consider whether to sell Yahoo’s profitable share in Alibaba, the company’s core (核心) Internet business, or both. A spokesman for Yahoo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has struggled to reverse Yahoo’s years-long decline in sales. The Internet portal’s(门户网站的) bread-and-butter advertising business has recently been surpassed(超越) by Google and Facebook, and the gap between them is only widening.The company has gone through many attempts at a reform over the past decade, choosing to get rid of its once leading search business, then deciding to focus on its media capitals, then putting emphasis on its apps and services — all ending with the same result: Yahoo is failing to take advantage of its massive audience and transform those eyeballs into growing ad sales.Shares of Yahoo have dropped sharply 35% this year. Meanwhile, the bad news keeps piling up for Yahoo. An unfavorable ruling from the IRS means that Yahoo will have to pay taxes when it sells its massive $30 billion share in Alibaba. Activist investor(投资者) group Starboard has asked Yahoo not to sell its Alibaba business and instead look to sell off its core Internet business.It’s unclear what companies or investors might be interested in Yahoo. Microsoft had offered to take over Yahoo for $46 billion in 2008, but Yahoo fought off the deal.Now, Yahoo is worth just over $30 billion. Since that includes the company’s Alibaba and $8.5 billion Yahoo Japan shares, investors have valued Yahoo’s core business as worthless.Yahoo still is one of the most-visited websites in the world. It received 210 million visitors in October, according to comScore, making it the No. 3 site behind Google and Facebook.12. During the meeting of Yahoo’s board, the directors will discuss ________.A. how they will sell Yahoo’s profitable share in AlibabaB. if they will sell Yahoo’s profitable share in AlibabaC. how much of the company’s core Internet busines s they will sellD. who the company’s core Internet business will be sold to13. The underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”.A. ignore the present situationB. better improve the situationC. turn it into the opposite situationD. predict the future situation14. According to Paragraphs 4 and 5, what happens to Yahoo?A. Yahoo is faced with continuous difficult circumstances.B. Yahoo doesn’t take its problems seriously.C. Yahoo makes good use of quantities of its audience.D. Yahoo needs to pay taxes if it sells its core Internet business.15. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Yahoo stressed its apps and services in the beginning.B. Who shows interest in Yahoo is certain at present.C. Yahoo receives the largest number of visitors all the time.D. Yahoo’s value has declined.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。

Puzzlerama& Juice CubesBThe Mokoko tribe（部落）lived on the wrong side of the island of two faces. The two sides, separated by a great cliff（悬崖），were like night and day. The good side was watered by rivers and was filled with trees and abundant food, while on the wrong side there was hardly any water or plants, and wild beasts crowded together. The Mokoko had the misfortune of having always lived there, with no way to cross to the other side. Their life was hard and they lived in permanent terror of the beasts.Along the edge of the cliff separating the two sides, a skinny but strong tree grew, with which they could build two poles. There was no doubt that the tribe would choose the great chief and doctor to use the poles. But when the two of them were given their chance to make the jump, they didn't dare to. They thought that the pole could break or it would not be long enough. They put so much energy into these thoughts that they gave in.But into that tribe were born Naru and Ariki, a pair of young hearts. One day, they decided to take up the poles. Nobody stopped them but everyone did try to discourage them, trying to present how dangerous the jumping was, using a thousand explanations."And what if what they say is true?" wondered the young Naru."Don't worry. I am a bit scared too, but it doesn't look so difficult," replied Ariki, ever determined."But if it goes wrong, it will be a terrible end," continued Naru, undecided."Perhaps the jump will go badly. But staying forever on this side of the island surely won't work out well either.""You’re right. Let's do it tomorrow."And on the next day, Naru and Ariki jumped to the good side of the island. When taking up the poles, while feeling their desire, the fear hardly allowed them to breathe. And while flying through the air, helpless and without support, they felt that something must have gone wrong and deathawaited them. But when they landed on the other side. they thought the jump really hadn't been so bad after all.24. What situation were the Mokoko faced with?A. They lived a difficult life 'without fearing the beasts.B. They suffered a lot due to the terrible environment.C. They had easy access to the good side.D. They were surrounded by trees and rivers.25.

The members desired to follow their stepsB. The members tried to prevent the behaviourC. The members convinced them of the danger.D. The members encouraged them to have a try.27. What can we infer about Naru and Ariki?A. They overcame difficulty with courage and determination.B. They felt relaxed in the whole process of making the jumpC. They never doubted the difficulty in making the jump.D. They hesitated to make the jump over and over again.CHave you ever lost your car on a parking lot? It happens. You park and go shopping. When you get back, you have no idea where your car is. It can be discouraging.You don't need to install（安装）an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car. That's too expensive. You would need to pay a monthly subscription fee just to use it. But is there a way to track your vehicle without spending a fortune? Yes, now there is! A California-based start-up company was able to make this a reality. They created a tiny device that works with your smartphone, and it could be exactly what you’re looking for! It’s called TrackR Bravo. It’s changing the way we keep track of the important things in our lives.Install the free TrackR app on your smartphone, connect the app to your device and you're ready to go! Simply attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep an eye on. The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less. You can attach it to your keys, wallet and anything else you don't want to lose. Then use the TrackR app to find where your missing items are in seconds.Forget expensive GPS systems or tracking services. Nobody wants to pay expensive monthly subscription fees. We understand how stressful these things can be, and this is the reason why the company created TrackR. This device is your VIP when you need to take care of important things.If you forget where you park your car, take out your smartphone and open the TrackR app. Tap on the "1ost item" sign on the screen and the app will tell you the exact location. This device is by no means expensive. TrackR only costs $29, a small price to pay for peace of mind. The device is small enough that you can attach it to your pets. Put it on their collar, and you will never lose track of them!Attach it to your key or wallet, and never waste a minute rummaging the whole house for it.Since you've been informed about this brilliant invention, now attach it to everything that's important to you.28. Why does the author mention the lost car in the first Paragraph?A. To explain how terrible the situation is.B. To stress the importance of being cautious.C. To lead to the topic concerning finding lost items.D. To provide one common example about theft.29. What's the feature of the TrackR app?A. The process of setting up the app is complex.B. The cost of setting up the app is rather high.C. The app is available in any electronic equipment.D. The app helps locate the lost items in a short time.30. The TrackR was created because .A. life is full of all kinds of pressureB. tracking services cause financial burdenC. people want to keep their important items safeD. GPS systems can not provide specific location31. Which of the following is closest to the meaning of the underlined word "rummaging" in Paragraph 5?A. Searching.B. Destroying.C. Cleaning.D. Moving.DTwo heads are better than one. It means that two people working together have a better chance of solving a problem than one person alone. But not everyone likes working in a group.There can be a number of reasons why people dislike group work. Some may feel nervous or uneasy in group situations. Others might have had a bad experience with individuals who did not work well as a team. Another comment is that teachers or instructors fail to provide roles for group members. This may create a situation where everyone or no one wants to lead. Whatever the issue, the result is the same: the group does not realize its goal.Cooperative (舍作VF的) learning is an educational method that can help to solve this problem. There are many methods of cooperative learning. Today we will talk about one: giving each person in a small group a specific duty to reach a shared goal. For example, if learners are divided into groups of four people each, their roles might be:1eader, writer, checker and speaker. This structure helps ensure that everyone takes part equally in group work and allows each member to play a meaningful part in completing the shared goal.Before dividing learners into groups, it is a good idea for the teacher or club's instructor to first have knowledge about the language skill levels of participants. The goal is to make each group a mixture of higher- and lower-level language learners. Putting too many people with similar skill levels together could make the work too difficult or easy. Role cards can be a helpful tool in thismethod of cooperative learning. Their purpose is to remind learners of each person's role.Before the cooperative activity, the role of the teacher or activity instructor is to explain two things to the group: the main job for the activity and how the cooperative roles work. The person in charge may appoint these roles or let the English learners choose them. Then, during the activity, the instructor's job is to watch the groups and provide more guidance when needed. After the activity, the instructor may wish to provide feedback to groups on their work and their use of cooperation.With this cooperative learning method, you can say that four heads are better than just one.32. What's the outcome if people do not enjoy group work?A. The aim of the group can not be achieved.B. Specific roles will be given to group members.C. Group members will feel at ease in groups.D. Group members will fail to work individually.33. Why does the teacher need to know about those who take part in the activity?A. To find out language learners with similar levels.B. To clarify higher- and lower-level language learners.C. To combine learners with different language levels.D. To increase the difficulty in finishing the work.34. Which of the following is TRUE about the role of instructors?A. To offer group members timely help at each step.B. To listen to the response from group members.C. To help the English learners choose their favourite roles.D. To make clear about the task and working principles of the roles.35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Two Heads Are Better than One.B. Cooperation Is a Must in Learning.C. Group Work Makes a Great Difference to Learners' Achievement.D. Cooperative Learning Contributes to the Success of Group Work.笫二节（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。

APlaces to Spend Christmas in CanadaQuebec CityQuebec City would be a great place to spend the holidays, with stone streets, soft white snow, and some of the most historic and striking architecture in Canada. And there's a lot going on in the capital of La Belle Province, including an authentic German Christmas market where you can drink hot wine and look for gifts, and the chance to meet Santa Claus himself at Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac Hotel.St. John's, NewfoundlandIn St. John's, Newfoundland, people would disguise (伪装)themselves in whatever small objects they could find in theirhomes and show up on their neighbours doorsteps singing, dancing and celebrating—and not removing their masks until the neighbours correctly guessed their identities. This fun and festive tradition lives on with an annual Christmas festival, complete with workshops and a big parade that shows these simple disguises.Niagara Falls, OntarioThe illumination (照明)of the magnificent waterfalls is part of Niagara Falls' annual Winter Festival of Lights, which sees more than three million lights lighted throughout the city. There are also weekly fireworks over the falls during the whole festival, and a number of other festive events, including musicals, shopping fairs and concerts.SaskatoonThere are few bigger thrills than being a kid at Christmas, especially if you live in Saskatoon. A recent study by the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management found that Saskatoon has the highest number of candy and toy stores, in the country, and a very good probability of having snow on December 25. It's the perfect combination for a magical Christmas! Grown-ups will also appreciate the booming food scene.1. Which place will you go if you are interested in historic buildings?A. Quebec City.B. St. John's.C. Niagara Falls.D. Saskatoon.2. What is special about Niagara Falls, Ontario during Christmas?A. Market.B. Wine.C. Light.D. Snow.3.

2023-2024学年广东茂名人教版高考专题英语高考模拟习题及解析
2023-2024学年广东茂名人教版高考专题英语高考模拟1.阅读理解第1题. If you feel sick or uncomfortable, you might seek out a doctor. But what to do if you don’t quite know where you fit into this world and you’re tired of carrying that burden alone?I answered strangers’ questions on life puzzles at the entrance to the New York City subway at 57th and 8th. A group of strangers had stopped by because they were carrying around some deep, meaningful questions that had long gone unanswered, like why c an’t I be happier in my life?And then I spotted her, who would be my toughest questioner of the day. She was about 6 years old and held her mother’s hand as she craned (伸长脖子) her neck to stare at us. Her mother stopped, but the girl hesitated. It’s OK, I offered. Do you have a question? The girl smiled at her mother, then let go of her hand to walk over towards us. She looked me dead in the eye and said: How do I know I’m real?Suddenly I was back in graduate school. Should I talk about the French philosopher Rene Descartes to prove our existence, with the phrase I think, therefore I am? Or, mention English philosopher G. E. Moore and his famous here is one hand, here is the other, to prove the existence of the external world? But then the answer came to me. I remembered that the most important part of philosophy was feeding our sense of wonder. Close your eyes, I said. She did. Well, did you disappear? She smiled and shook her head, then opened her eyes. Congratulations, you’re real.She grinned (露齿而笑) broadly and walked over to her mother, who looked back at us and smiled.（1）Why did the author show up at the entrance of the subway?A: To take the subway.B: To look for strangers’ help.C: To offer advice on life puzzles.D: To help strangers carry their bags.（2）What made the little girl stare at the author?A: Curiosity.B: Horror.C: Excitement.D: Nervousness.（3）How did the girl find the answer?A: By hearing a story.B: By learning philosophy.C: By referring to others’ words.D: By having a real experience.（4）Which of the following can best describe the author?A: Strict and smart.B: Honest and brave.C: Clever and helpful.D: Humorous and sociable.【答案】CADC【解答】第2题.A new study provides scientific evidence to support the idea that stress can cause a person's hair to turngray. A team from America's Harvard University said the new study is the first to show a clear link betweenstress and graying hair.Researchers from America's Harvard University discovered a clear link between stress and graying hairrecently. The team used experiments with mice to look at how stress affects stem cells in hair follicles（毛囊）.Most people have about 100,000 hair follicles on their head. The follicles are responsible for makingmelanocytes, the cells that give hair its color. As people age, melanocyte production is reduced. This causes aperson's hair to begin turning gray naturally. At first, the researchers suspected that an immune attack caused by a stressful event might be targetingthe melanocyte stem cells. That theory, however, turned out to be false. The mice lacking immune cells stillshowed signs of graying hair. The team also thought the hormone cortisol（皮质醇）, which always increasesin the body during times of stress, might be a likely cause. However, when researchers removed the gland（腺）that produces the cortisol hormones, the hair of mice still turned gray. The scientists then centered theirexperiments on the body's sympathetic nervous system（交感神经）. This is the body system that controls"fight-or-flight" reactions in dangerous situations. When the mice were subjected to short term pain or placedin stressful laboratory conditions, these nerves released a chemical called norepinephrine. The researchersfound that when the norepinephrine was released, all the melanocyte stem cells were highly activated andchanged into pigment-producing cells. This overproduction process resulted in the early loss of color producingcells.The scientists said their research could lead to new treatments for stress-related graying in the future.Graying hair is just one example of how stress affects the body. New experiments could also be carried out inother areas, as well, the team said. These could include studies to see whether stress can also cause changes inbody tissues. Hsu said she would also like to study whether stress has a large effect on the overall agingprocess. "We don't know if that is true yet. We are interested in finding out the link, " she said.（1）What did scientists discover according to the recent study?A: The mice isthe best subject.B: Gray hair has nothing to do with age.C: Stress causes changes in body tissues.D: Stress can cause gray hair.（2）What does paragraph3 mainly talk about?A: The research process.B: The scientific theory.C: The further investigation.D: The clear evidence.（3）What may expand in anount when people feel stressed?A: The hair follicles.B: The hormone cortisol.C: The gland.D: Themelanocyte.（4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph'?A: New treatments for stress-related graying have appeared.B: Stress has an effect on the overall aging process.C: Further study needs doing to sec the effect of stress.D: Stress can surely cause changes in body tissues.【答案】DABC【解答】1111第3题.For much of the past hundred years, classrooms have been designed with the teacher seated in front of desks for students. The desks are almost always positioned in lines facing the teacher. But educators now say children can do better in a less structured learning environment. And designers have been providing spaces and seating to meet those suggestions.Bob Pearlman works as an education consultant in the United States. He helps teachers and school administrators with educational planning and other issues. He told The Associated Press traditional classrooms are a thing of the past. Now students work in "extended learning areas" that include project—planning rooms, workrooms, and laboratories, as well as learning spaces for groups and individuals. Pearlman points to Albemarle County Public Schools, in Charlottesville, Virginia. The school system invited teams from all its schools to develop learning spaces that would help students deal with complex ideas and work on creative building projects. Now, its elementary school classes have exchanged traditional desks for things like soft seating and connectable tables. Another change to the design of classrooms is the ability to connect to the Internet. "Classrooms and libraries used to be the only spaces where students spent their school hours. Wireless, laptops and project learning have changed that," Pearlman said. He noted that this has made all school spaces into possible extended learning areas."Natural light, reduced outside noise and good air quality are all considerations in classroom design", says Aaron Jobson. He is with the Quattrocchi Kwok Architects in Santa Rosa, California. "More and more evidence connects the physical environment to learning outcomes," Jobson said. New designs include glass walls inside buildings and doors that increase connectedness among students and create more open space for teachers.（1）Where can students learn better?A: In well-ordered classrooms.B: In traditional classrooms.C: In less structured classrooms.D: In classrooms with modern equipment.（2）What's the change of the elementary school classes in Albemarle County?A: New desks are positioned facing teachers.B: Libraries become the places for students to learn.C: Soft seats and connectable tables are equipped.D: Students study at home through the Internet.（3）What can we infer from the text?A: School education is extremely important.B: Classroom design has nothing to do with learning outcomes.C: Teaching methods contribute much to students' exam results.D: Classroom design should take physical environment into account.（4）What's the best title of the text?A: The New Educational PlanningsB: Some Creative Teaching TheoriesC: Traditional Teaching MethodsD: The New Design of Classrooms【答案】CCDD【解答】（1）C 细节理解题。

广东省茂名市2019届高三英语第一次综合测试卷一、阅读理解 (共4题；共15分)1．（3分）阅读理解Four Free Mobile Apps to Help You Learn English FasterHave you realized that you can put your smartphone to really good use for learning English? Here are 4 free mobile apps that will help you do just that.Hello EnglishIt covers all the aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, translation, grammar, spellings, spoken and reading skills. It uses interactive games to teach different English lessons and offers new audiobooks, latest news, and books. However, you should already understand basic English structures and alphabets, for the app can't help you learn English from scratch(从零开始).DuolingoIf you want to learn English from scratch, then this is the app you are looking for. Duolingo uses interactive games to help you learn English. For beginners, the app focuses on helping you learn verbs, phrases and sentences.LingbeIf you are ready to practice your spoken skills in the real-world, you'll need Lingbe. It's a community-based app where people help each other and share their native languages. It connects you with real people on call who are native English speakers.HelloTalkHelloTalk is similar to Lingbe as it connects you with native speakers to help improve your language skills. However, it adds a few extra functions that might interest you. You can view the information about users to find a match that interests you. Additionally, you can also send text and audio messages, and even do video calls with other people.If you are a beginner, start from Duolingo and then use Hello English to take full command over the language. For fluent spoken English learners, you can try out Lingbe or HelloTalk.（1）（1分）What should you already understand to use Hello English?A．Good reading and writing skills.B．Basic listening and speaking tips.C．Different English lessons and books.D．English letters and basic structures.（2）（1分）Which app is the best choice for an English beginner at first?A．Hello English.B．Duolingo.C．Lingbe.D．HelloTalk.（3）（1分）What can you do on Lingbe?A．Read the latest news.B．Enjoy the interactive games.C．Practice your spoken English.D．Talk with native speakers in the flesh.2．（4分）阅读理解It's apparently become a trend in schools around the world to ban students from using the term, “best friends,” according to psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg. The movement, which is believed to have started in Prince George's school in South London, isn't intended to discourage close friendships, but rather encourage a wider friend group, Greenberg says.“Let's face it. You can't ban somebody from having a close relationship, and you can't really ban somebody from having a best friend but what the schools are trying to do is foster the idea of kids having more than a single friend,” Greenberg said.The idea is to increase the number of interactions a student may have with different members of his or her peer group. “I see kids come in all week long who are feeling awful because they are either nobody's best friend or their best friend has moved on,” Greenberg says.Jay Jacobs, who operates Timber Lake Camp in New York, stresses the downside of not fostering multiple relationships at a young age, for exactly that reason. “I think that there are problems in just having one friend,” Jacobs says. “Remember as you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions.” Jacobs adds that teachers at Timber Lake, which changes positions between Glen Cove in winter and Shandake in summer, have made it a point to promote a more inclusive environment for years.Jacobs reminds people that, “As you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions,” so having only one friend can be risky. He holds the belief that children will be better set up for success later in life if they get used to having a wider friend group at a young age. “It's about promoting kindness, looking to children to be kind to one another and to be aware of what it looks like when you're not,” Jacobs says.（1）（1分）Why do schools ban the term “best friends”?A．To make students concentrate on their studies.B．To encourage students to make more friends.C．To prevent students from falling in love at a young age.D．To discourage students from having a close relationship.（2）（1分）Why are some kids feeling awful according to Greenberg?A．Their best friends have moved house.B．They are banned from making best friends.C．They are under great pressure from study.D．Their best friends have started new friendships.（3）（1分）What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Mistake.B．Difficulty.C．Drawback.D．Burden.（4）（1分）What would be Jay Jacobs' attitude to Greenberg's idea?A．Supportive.B．Doubtful.C．Opposed.D．Unconcerned.3．（4分）阅读理解Scientists are trying to save Puerto Rico's endangered Amazon parrots after Hurricane Maria destroyed the birds' habitats and food sources(来源).El Yunque is a large national forest on the eastern part of Puerto Rico. Just two of the 56 wild parrots that once lived there survived Maria, the Category-4 storm that struck Puerto Rico in September 2017. Scientists report other forests have seen great drops in parrot populations as well.In the 1800s, there were more than a million of the bright green parrots living in the wild in Puerto Rico. By the 1970s, the number was down to just 13 birds after years of forest clearing.A special program was started in 1972 to help increase the parrot population, which led to the creation of three breeding(繁殖) centers. Just weeks before Hurricane Maria hit, scientists counted 56 wild parrots at El Y unque. That was the highest number in the program's history. Scientists say that even though several parrots have been born in captivity(笼养) and in the wild since Maria, the species is still in danger.The Puerto Rican Amazon is the island's only remaining native parrot. More than 460 of the birds are kept inside the breeding centers at El Yunque and the Rio Abajo forest. Scientists have not released(释放) any of the birds since Hurricane Maria. A third breeding center, in a forest in the western area of Maricao, has not been in operation since the storm.Scientists are considering whether to catch some of the remaining wild parrots and put them in the same cage as the birds that are set to be released. This way, the captive birds can learn from the wild birds how to survive in the forests. Another consideration is to release some captive parrots in Maricao, which was not as heavily damaged by Maria.（1）（1分）Why has the parrot population greatly decreased in the past 200 years?A．Because of Hurricane Maria.B．Because of too much hunting.C．Because of the loss of forests.D．Because of lack of breeding centers.（2）（1分）Which of the following is true about Hurricane Maria?A．It killed 56 wild parrots at El Yunque.B．It greatly affected parrots in captivity.C．It reduced the number of wild parrots.D．It led to the creation of three breeding centers.（3）（1分）What can we infer about Amazon parrots in captivity?A．They have the highest number in the history.B．They have been released since Hurricane Maria.C．They are used to living in the wild.D．They are larger in number than those in the wild.（4）（1分）What is the best title for the text?A．Scientists Work to Save Puerto Rican Parrots.B．Amazon Parrots are in Danger of Disappearing.C．A Special Program Helps Increase the Parrot Population.D．Hurricane Maria Reduced the Number of Amazon Parrots.4．（4分）阅读理解Experts like to say the best form of exercise is whatever kind you'll actually do. But that may not always be the case; new research finds that people who combine exercise with their social lives may be at an advantage over solitary（独自）exercisers. Tennis, badminton and soccer are all better for longevity(长寿) than cycling, swimming, jogging or gym exercise, according to the research.The study was based on data from about 8,500 adults who were part of the Copenhagen City HeartStudy. They completed a health and lifestyle questionnaire, which included questions about type and frequency of physical activity, and were monitored by the researchers for around 25 years, a period during which about 4,500 of the subjects died.Tennis came out on top in the research. Compared with people sitting all day, those who reported playing tennis as their main form of exercise could expect to add 9.7 years to their life time, followed by badminton (6.2 years), soccer (4.7 years), cycling (3.7 years), swimming (3.4 years), jogging (3.2 years) and health-club activities (1.5 years).Tennis likely took the top spot because "it's very interactive," says study co-author Dr. JamesO'Keefe, a physician at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute. "At every point you're talking. It's just a very natural way to emotionally bond with people, besides getting your exercise." But he adds that the study may not have been able to fully account for the fact that wealthier, better-educated people—who tend to be healthier to begin with—may be more likely to play tennis.Activities like running and weight lifting still extend your life and offer plenty of other health benefits. But for the best possible benefits, O'Keefe says gym-goers may want to consider combining those workouts with activities that foster social connection.O'Keefe, whose exercise typically includes running and weight lifting, says he's even changed his own behavior because of the study: he and his family have taken up badminton."You can't play badminton without feeling like a kid again," he says. "It's just pure fun."（1）（1分）Which of the following is best for living a long life?A．Cycling.B．Badminton.C．Swimming.D．Gym exercise.（2）（1分）How many people were still living at the end of the research?A．About 8,500.B．About 4,500.C．About 4000.D．About 2500.（3）（1分）What matters most to the result of the research?A．Family life.B．Social connections.C．Frequency of exercise.D．Wealth and education.（4）（1分）What does O'Keefe do after the finding?A．He puts the theory into practice.B．He plays badminton just for fun.C．He feels like playing badminton with kids.D．He takes more exercise than before.二、任务型阅读 (共1题；共5分)5．（5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。
2023-2024学年广东茂名人教版高考专题英语高考模拟习题及解析
2023-2024学年广东茂名人教版高考专题英语高考模拟1.阅读理解第1题.The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches（串）of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. "Bananas 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira."He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn't have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. "What's up?" I asked him. "I...I don't have money to buy books for school." I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills."Will this help?" I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5, 000 naira or less each year. "Thank you, sir," he said. "Thank you very much!"When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he's a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face. "Oh, Gosh! Long time.""Are you in school now?" I asked.He nodded."That's good," I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. "Here," I held out a 500 naira bill. "Take this." He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. "What's wrong?" I asked. "It's a gift."He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat（汗水）. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, "I've been waiting to give these to you."（1）What was the author's first impression of the boy?A: He seemed to be poor and mean.B: He seemed to have suffered a lot.C: He seemed younger than his age.D: He seemed good at bargaining.（2）The second time the author met the boy, the boy ______.A: told him his purpose of selling fruit and nutsB: wanted to express his thanksC: asked him for money for his schoolbooksD: tried to cheat him by his appearance（3）Why did the author give his money to the boy?A: Because he had enough money to do that.B: Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.C: Because he held a higher position in the society.D: Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.（4）Which of the following best describes the boy?A: Brave and polite.B: Kind and smart.C: Honest and thankful.D: Shy and nervous.【答案】BABC【解答】（1）B 推理判断题。
