江苏省镇江第一中学等3校2022-2023学年高三上学期12月月考英语试题

江苏省镇江第一中学等3校2022-2023学年高三上学期12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Plants and exposure to greenery have been found to have multiple mental health benefits, such as lowering stress, decreasing feelings of depression, increasing sociability, restoring focus, improving cognitive performance, improving mood, and increasing self-esteem.Gardening and care for plants can help to turn people away from negative thoughts or emotions. So with all that, what do these experts recommend as the best plant?Snake plant. It’s very easy to care for, thrives in spaces with low sunlight, has visual appeal, and cleans the air, and they are drought resistant if you forget to water them.Spider plants.Spider plants, with plenty of light-green leaves, are another low-maintenance selection.When a spider plant thrives, it will grow new offshoots that can be clipped and potted as a new plant.Aloe Vera. Drought-resistant and easy to grow. Aloe Vera is low-maintenance, you can just water it monthly, and it helps clean the airspace and is helpful for burns, cuts, and scrapes to help injuries heal faster or soothe pain.Lavender is well-known for its relaxing scent, and it has a calming effect, aids in reducing stress, promotes sleep.This means it’s great both in the garden, or clipped and dried in a bowl inside your space .Basil is a summertime herb that loves the sun. Not only is it delicious in meals, but eating basil has health benefits, too. It has properties which help to relieve stress and anxiety.Lemon balm.This fragrant green herb is part of the mint family and is simple to cultivate. Known for its calming properties, it has a light lemony scent that can be wonderfully intensified by rubbing the leaves between your fingers. It has been used to improve sleep, reduce stress and anxiety, improve appetite, and help with indigestion. 1．What can we know from the passage?A．Spider plants will still survive if you forget to water them.B．Lavender is recognized for its mint scent and calming effects.C．Snake plants grow well in spaces without enough sunlight.D．Basil is not edible but has some valuable properties.2．What do these plants have in common?A．They need little water.B．They appeal to the eye.C．They help us calm down.D．They enhance health.3．How many of the plants mentioned in the passage can help people to handle stress or anxiety?A．Two B．Three C．Four D．FiveGoing against the tide of flocking to well-known yet generally jam-packed tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts to seek unique, relaxed holiday experiences.During the week-long public holiday, which ended on Oct 7, large numbers of vacationers, especially young professionals who long to escape hectic city life, avoided popular holiday destinations in order to get off the beaten track and enjoy some peace and quiet.According to data from online travel agency Qunar, as cited by Beijing Daily, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year on year.Some young professionals who normally have little time for themselves simply had a staycation in a hotel to make the much-awaited time more relaxing.Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations, which often involve pricey tickets, meals and hotel stays.“Tourism used to be about sightseeing. Now it is about experiences,” Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy, told Beijing Daily.He said popular tourist spots are always packed and often raise their prices during holidays. As people become more mature travelers, they are increasingly reluctant to follow the herd.In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” and “standardized” as developed ones and are able to offer more authentic experiences and natural encounters, according to social media posts. And unlike popular destinations, some underexplored places with little online exposure can offer more surprises.COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As precautionary measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. A traveler has no way of knowing what liesahead before departure, be it a perfect holiday or one interrupted by a sudden outbreak. Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists.Jiang Han, a senior researcher at the Beijing-based public policy think tank Pangoal, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market and is an opportunity for growth comparable to the camping economy.To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underrated, lesser-known destinations.4．Young people like reverse tourism in that __________.A．They have a desire to save on the cost of trips.B．They long to book the cheapest hotel.C．They want to enjoy their relaxing break.D．Reverse tourism has become a trend in China.5．The underlined part “get off the beaten track” in Paragraph 2 can be best replacedby__________.A．Start the old route B．Break the routineC．Take easy paths D．Travel long distances6．Which of the following statements cannot account for the rise of reverse tourism?A．Tourists spend less than usual.B．COVID-19 makes tourists more cautious.C．Tourists can get a better sense of experience.D．It has already been commercialized.7．What is Jiang’s attitude towards reverse tourism according to the last two paragraphs?A．Its development will be affected by Covid-19.B．It has a better future than the camping economy.C．Lesser-known resorts should try to develop further.D．It forces popular destinations to improve themselves.Exams are nerve-racking, especially for those already of an anxious disposition. The silence of the hall; the ticking of the clock; the beady eye of the invigilator; the smug expression of the person sitting at the neighboring desk who has finished 15 minutes early. It therefore seems hardly surprising that those who worry about taking tests do systematicallyworse than those who do not.What is, perhaps surprising, according to the research published recently in Psychological Science by Maria Theobad at the Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education and her colleagues, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall which causes the problem. It is the pressure of revision.What Dr Theobald found was that anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What did predict it was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the earlier digital learning activities. Those who performed well in these also did well in the real thing, regardless of how anxious they were on the day.What actually hampered students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. The greater a student’s anxiety in the days before the exam the lower his or her knowledge gain was during that period, leaving that student with less helpful material in mind during the exam itself.And this is a positive discovery, for it suggests a change of approach to revision by the anxious might help improve their results.Dr Theobald notes that test-anxiety is at its worst when students have low expectations of success and simultaneously know that passing the exam is exceedingly important. To reduce this anxiety, she proposes a two fold strategy for students to consider as they revise.First they can raise their belief in their own abilities by reminding themselves of just how much they know. Second, they can weaken the significance of the test by reminding themselves that, while it is important, it is not a life or death situation.8．According to the research, which of the following can help to predict a student’s bad results in exams?A．The exam hall is silent during the exams.B．He is very much afraid of the exams.C．He feels great pressure from his classmates.D．He displayed low-level knowledge gain in his revision.9．A student’s exam performance can be predicted based on____________.A．The level of his anxiety on the exam day.B．His scale of knowledge shown in the mock exam.C．His digital learning abilities during the exam.D．His good performance in the real exam.10．What does the underlined word “hampered” mean in Paragraph 4?A．helped.B．encouraged.C．stimulated.D．blocked.11．What can students do to reduce their exam anxiety?A．Have more confidence in their abilities.B．Value the importance of passing the exam.C．Have low expectations of success.D．Deny the significance of the text.Recently, the laboratory of Sami El-Boustani, an assistant professor at the University of Geneva, has studied the role played by motivation in perception (感知) and decision-making. “We wanted to observe how sensory information sent by cortical neurons (大脑皮层神经元) is changed by the degree of motivation and to what extent the latter can have an effect on learning and performance in a decision-making task,” explains Sami El-Boustani.The research team developed a behavioral pattern involving mice in a controlled water consumption condition. Researchers first trained these mice to respond to the stimulation of two whiskers (鼠须) (A and B) and to produce an action — licking a spout (舔壶嘴)— only for whisker A in order to obtain a drop of water. Following this training, these mice reacted mainly to the stimulation of whisker A．Finally, the researchers conducted these experiments at decreasing levels of thirst in order to vary the motivation of the mice to participate in the task.In a state of great thirst, mice licked the spout randomly with great motivation. In a state of medium thirst, the choice of their action became ideal. They mainly licked the spout when whisker A was stimulated. Finally, when they were not very thirsty, their performance in the task dropped again. By observing the activity of neuronal populations responsible for perceptual decision-making in these mice, researchers discovered that high-motivation leads to the strong stimulation of cortical neurons, which causes a loss of accuracy in the perception of the stimulation. In contrast, in the low-motivation state, the accuracy of the sensory information was recovered, but the strength of the signal was too low for it to be sent correctly.These results reveal that the level of motivation does not only impact decision-making but also the perception of sensory information, which leads to the decision. Researchersobserved that mice understood the rule very quickly but could only express this learning much later, depending on a changed perception linked to their level of motivation. The research on the role of motivation in learning opens the way to new adaptive methods that aim to maintain the best level of motivation during learning.12．Which aspect of motivation does the laboratory’s research focus on?A．What role perception plays in motivation.B．What effect learning has on motivation.C．How motivation affects decision making.D．How sensory information affects motivation.13．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．The methods of conducting the experiment.B．The limitations of the experiment.C．The significance of the experiment.D．The results of the experiment.14．In the experiment, the mice performed well enough in all the situations when_________.A．they were pushed by high motivationB．the perception of stimulation was inaccurateC．the signal was not strong enoughD．they were motivated to a medium degree15．What does the last paragraph mainly tell readers?A．A lasting motivation can brings about a proper decision.B．People have difficulty maintaining the best level of motivation.C．Flexible methods are needed to maintain the right degree of motivation.D．High motivation makes the brain process sensory information accurately.二、七选五How Important Is Alone Time for Mental Health?People tend to be social creatures, and research has shown that social connections are vital for both emotional and physical well-being. 16 The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated both the challenges of loneliness and a lack of alone time. Having time for yourself gives you the chance to break free from social pressures and tap into your ownthoughts, feelings, and experiences. Why is it important to be alone?Creativity17 Research actually suggests that being alone can lead to changes in the brain that help fuel the creative process.In a 2020 study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers found that perceived social isolation (loneliness) led to increased activity in the neural circuits related to imagination. When left with a lack of social stimulation, the brain increases its creative networks to help fill the blank.Social Energy18 However, researchers have found that people who live alone may actually have richer social lives and more social energy than people who don’t.Sociologist Eric Klineberg notes that one in seven U.S. adults lives alone. Klineberg found that not only were these adults not lonely, many actually had richer social lives.How to spend time alone?Pick a time: Figure out when you’d like to spend some time alone. Plan that time into your schedule and make sure that other people know that they shouldn’t interrupt you during that time.19 : Work on removing distractions, particularly ones that invite social comparisons. Your focus should be on your own thoughts and interests and not on what other people are doing.Plan something: Not everyone is comfortable spending time alone, so you might find it helpful to plan out what you want to do. 20There’s no correct amount of solo time that works for everyone. Think about things that you might like to do by yourself, then start practicing doing them alone.A．Turn off social media.B．Focus on others’ behavior.C．Living alone tends to be seen in a negative light.D．Solo time is an opportunity to strengthen your creativity.E．However, alone time also plays a crucial role in mental health.F．Therefore, there are things you can do to boost social connections.G．This might involve relaxation time, exploring favorite hobbies,or reading books.三、完形填空didn’t know each other well.Their spouses each needed a kidney 22 , and while Wimbush could have given her husband one of hers, she wasn’t a 23 match.

Fresh from an appearance at the Paris climate change summit, he fronts a new series David Attenborough’s Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁).“There was a book by Saville-Kent called The Great Barrier Reef with fascinating hand-drawn illustrations which always fascinated me as a child. It was as if born from pure imagination. I thought no such place on earth can surely exist.” he said.Nearly sixty years after his first visit, Attenborough dives 1000 feet below the surface off the Queensland coast to explore the world’s largest living organism like never before.“It was the first place I was lucky enough to scuba (水肺) dive and I was, entering those waters, welcomed by magic. It was 1957 and I was shocked by remarkable beauty and life.”The dive also gives Attenborough the chance to properly examine the effects of climate change and how the rising temperatures and acidity of the seas is causing harm to the reef.“You can see where the sea grass is going and you know that if it continues on like that for the next decade or so, the coral (珊瑚) won’t be able to tolerate it. You can show experimentally that they’re incapable of living in these higher temperatures and t he acidity will be such that they won’t be able to form coral limestone (灰岩) anymore,” he explains.Attenborough admits that though he is incredibly enthusiastic about spreading awareness of climate change he was unwilling to be referred to as an authorit y on the subject. “I have a view, but it’s a second-hand view. I haven’t done the chemistry,” he said.The truth is, he is well respected and beloved. When he talks about something as serious as climate change we are willing to pay attention.4. What impressed Attenborough in his childhood?A．The vivid imagination of TV series. B．Severe pollution on the Great BarrierReef.C．The importance of climate change summits. D．Interesting pictures in The Great Barrier Reef.5. What did Attenborough find during his second visit to the Great Barrier Reef?A．Mild temperatures stopped the growth of coral.B．The sea grass posted a potential threat to the coral.C．The acidity sped up the formation of coral limestone.D．Scientists were doing experiments under deep sea water.6. Which of the following can best describe David Attenborough?A．Passionate and frank. B．Humourous and creative.C．Brilliant and sociable. D．Competent and generous.7. What is the purpose of the text?A．To set an example for the old. B．To analyze climate change effects.C．To introduce a famous and admiredperson.D．To promote underwater sports.Several years ago, the three of us started a book project to explain how learning and memory work. Two of us, Roddy Roediger and Mark McDaniel, are cognitive (认知的) scientists who have dedicated our careers to the study of learning and memory. Peter Brown is a storyteller. We have teamed up to explain how learning and memory work in this book, and we do this by telling stories of people who have found their way to mastery of complex knowledge and skills. Through these examples we illustrate the principles of learning that the research shows are highly effective.Most books deal with topics serially—they cover one topic, move on to the next, and so on. We follow this strategy in the sense that each chapter addresses new topics, but we also apply two of the primary learning principles in the book: spaced repetition of key ideas, and the interleaving of different but related topics. If learners spread out their study of a topic, returning to it periodically over time, they remember it better. Similarly, if they interleave the study of different topics, they learn each better than if they had studied them one at a time in sequence. Thus we cover key ideas more than once, repeating principles in different contexts across the book. The reader will remember them better and use them more effectively as a result.This is a book about what people can do for themselves right now in order to learn better and remember longer. The responsibility for learning rests with every individual. Teachers and coaches, too, can be more effective right now by helping students understand these principles and by designing them into the learning experience.While much remains to be known about learning, a large body of research has generated principles and practical strategies that can be put to work immediately, at no cost, and to great effect.8. What is the feature of the book?A．It offers examples and presents arguments.B．It analyzes cases and questions the authors.C．It combines stories with research findings.D．It compares online learning with real-world learning.9. What does the underlined word “interleaving” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Making something more noticeable. B．Putting something between other things.C．Demonstrating the existence of something. D．Guessing the intended meaning of something.10. What is the author’s attitude towards the existing studies about learning?A．Cautious. B．Approving.C．Doubtful. D．Uncertain.11. What is the book mainly about?A．Effective learning strategies. B．The three authors.C．The work of cognitive scientists. D．The responsibility of learners.Imagine you’re out for an evening stroll (闲逛) in a foreign city, looking to find a restaurant for dinner. You will look for the busiest restaurant with the most diners because its popularity is bound to reflect on the quality of food and service. But is this true?In tourist areas, which lack regular, local customers, the number of diners is unlikely to hold information about the quality of the meal. In this case, following the example of others could have led to a sub-optimal (次佳的) dinner choice in an overcrowded restaurant.Spontaneously (不由自主地) copying other people’s thoughts or choices or simply going with the crowd is often referred to as “Herd behaviors”. It is a frequent occurrence among humans as well as many other animals, a common example being sheep.Herding can appear to make a lot of sense. Average judgements of large groups of people often outperform individual choices. Furthermore, following the crowd appears to offer protection and comfort —after all, there’s “safety in numbers” — while helping to maintain a favourable reputation. Finally, following the herd reduces the effort needed to make a personal or unique decision.Herd behaviors, while common and easy to explain, can have many harmful effects. Blindly following the herd can have grave consequences when trying to escape from danger. As seen in examples during earthquakes, herding may result in the entire crowd rushing for the same door, even if other exits are available. This unavoidably affects evacuation (撤退) efforts and may result in avoidable injuries or even deaths.Psychology research suggests that it’s surprisingly difficult to resist the influences of the herd. In an experiment involving financial decision making, researchers found that warning messages about the potential errors of the crowd were surprisingly ineffective in helping customers make better choices. It appears there is no quick and easy fix. Instead, it is advisable to involve individuals adopting more critical approaches towards peers’ opinion, and questioning others’ behaviors as opposed to blindly following them.12. What does the author want to tell us by the restaurant example?A．Undesirable outcomes of herding, B．Wise dinner choices of most customers.C．Practical ways of avoiding herding. D．Poor conditions of popular dining places.13. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about herding?A．Its application. B．Its disadvantages.C．Its definition. D．Its benefits.14. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph?A．Send warning messages. B．Follow peers’ opinions.C．Stop behaving critically. D．Have our own judgments.15. Which is the best title for the text?A．Why can’t you find the reasons for herding?B．Why shouldn’t you follow the crowd blindly?C．When should you avoid influences of herding?D．How can you discover wisdom of crowds?Living with self-doubt can be very challenging. It limits potential and breaks morale. Here are some strategies that you can use to overcome self-doubt.● Self-compassion (自我同情) is the key.We often doubt ourselves when we have the fear of losing, but that is a grave mistake we make. Everyone will make mistakes at some part in their lives, but we have to grow from those mistakes and transform them into a lesson.Start your day with some positivity, look at yourself in the mirror, and make some positive affirmations (肯定). 16● Reflect back to your past achievements.17 Self-reflection is one of the best tools to eliminate self-doubt. It makes you remember that you once achieved something great, and it makes you believe that you can achieve that level of success again through concentrated efforts. Learn from your mistakes and move on, and you are meant for great things!● 18“You are known by the company you keep”, is one of the best say ings to explain this strategy. We should be surrounded by people that support and love us, not people that constantly make us doubt ourselves. Good people will help you recover from negative and stressful situations.●Seek professional help if necessary.19 This is the time when we should seek professional help. Talk about your feelings often, and let all the negative emotions out, which will make you feel a lot better.● Start journaling events.In life, there will come many events that we are thankful for, especially our achievements. 20 This journaling of events will be really helpful when you are doubting yourself.Earlier in the year we set out plans for a potential butterfly garden in the village. We drew up a plan ______ our ideas how we could go about them. As it turned out, the Universe of course had other______!While we waited to see if our funding would come through, Butterfly Conservation Scotland offered us enough wildflower seeds to ______ the whole area.The ______ was that the turf (草皮) would have to be removed to bare earth before we could sow!

We sat on the bus waiting while other passengers piled on. A blond-haired girl, about nineteen years old, took the seat in front of us. The bus driver followed behind her. He demanded her fare."You pay $40 or get off the bus!" the driver said."I paid already. Yesterday, online, " the girl insisted."No, no record of it!" the bus driver pointed to the paper in his hand and waved it in her face. "See. No pay! You pay, or you must get off. " He angrily pointed to the exit door."But I don't have money. And I paid already. Please. ”The bus driver picked up his mobile phone and made a call to find out if there had been an error with the paperwork. After failing to get through, he was getting angrier with the girl. So he cut the call and didn't try."No, you have not paid. You must pay. ”"But please, I don't have any money on me. I must get to LA today. Please. "Tears streamed down her face.I had boarded a bus headed to Los Angeles. I was very excited about experiencing LA. My dream of visiting Disney Land was about to come true. But while I sat there comfortably in my seat, thinking about my next adventure, this young girl was in tears, with a man standing over her, demanding money.I wasn't sure what I should do. Was she telling the truth? It wouldn't be the first time someone had extracted money by telling a sad story that turned out untrue. Did she really not have any money? Maybe the bus driver would show some sympathy and allow her to sort thepayment out later?But no, the bus driver continued to demand she pay $40 or get off the bus. The younggirlinsisted that she didn't have enough money for the fare and had no one she could contact forhelp. It seemed the driver would throw her off the bus.注意：1. 续写词数应为150 个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
