2020届上海市嘉定区第一中学高三英语月考试题及参考答案
2020届上海市嘉定区第一中学高三英语月考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ADive with Big SharksOur shark dive adventures make use of hookah systems and shark cages. A hookah system is a system of providing air from the surface to divers down below. Cage divers breathe by using a regulator connected to an air hose.Is SharkDiving Dangerous?Yes. You could get sunburnt. You could hit your head on the top bunk getting out of bed. You could fall overboard. As for a shark attack,according to the International Shark Attack File,you are far more likely to be killed by a dog or a deer.Pricing & DetailsOne day Cage Diver Adventure S 875Our expert shark diver team will accompany you to the best viewing areas within the Marine Sanctuary.There,we'll drop our cage and prepare to provide you with a view you'll never forget.No dive experience is necessary.Our cages sit just below the surface.You'll be able to breathe comfortably from your snorkel or air hose while you move about the cage,taking photos and having fun.Top Shark Adventure S 375If you want to see great white sharks but prefer them a little further away,we offer great top-side shark viewing from our observation deck. Help scan the horizon for fins and watch for sharks attacking their prey(猎物).Important NoteThere's No Shark GuaranteeAlthough we go to the best places at the best time of year, we cannot guarantee you'll see sharks. We've been very successful in past shark seasons and expect another incredible year. However, if we see nosharks, there is no refund.1.Which of the following isTRUEabout the two adventures?A.Top Shark Adventure makes use of hookah systems.B.Cage Diver Adventure offers you a view of the bottom of the sea.C.Cage Diver Adventure is less interesting than the other.D.Top Shark Adventure is suitable for those worried about danger.2.What is most likely to happen according to the advertisement?A.you fail to achieve your purpose of the trip.B.you are out of breath deep down in the sea.C.you are hurt by a shark while diving there,D.you suffer from lack of skill in shark diving.3.It can be inferred from the advertisement that shark diving is ________A.difficult but excitingB.challenging and tiringC.amazing and enjoyableD.expensive but popularB"Long time no see." is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend's e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable at all. So I did research onGoogle. com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing "Long time no see." Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Interestingly, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named "Charlie Chan" on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. "Long time no see." was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, "Long time no see." became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.Some scholars compare America to a hugemelting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the colour and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.You can have some examples from other countries such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American's melting potkeeps adding richness and flavour.4. What did the writer himself feel surprised at?A. The Chinglish expression "Long time no see."B. So many literal translations of the expressions used in America.C. "Long time no see." is used as a standard American English greeting.D. Finding out Americans use the expression every day.5. What do the underlined words "melting pot" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Confucius's words.B. Culture mixture.C. A kind of cooked dish.D. American changing cultures.6. According to the passage, what can be inferred?A. Detectives translated the phrase "Long time no see."B. Cultures cannot be changed in the huge melting pot.C. The huge melting pot greatly affects all kinds of languages.D. Hollywood made "Long time no see." popular.7. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Some Chinese expressions are introduced into English.B. You'll not be surprised at a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant in America.C. Some American expressions can be used in China.D. American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.CHave you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How annoying! However, scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the excess energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off” the extra food without making fat, so they rarely have weight problems.To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed tobe influenced by genetic (基因的) factors. They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency. These genes, according to the scientists, get passed down the generations. Armed with this knowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines thatcan target the genes and stop people from gaining weight.The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the numbers of people who are overweight continues to grow. In theUnited States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems. This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure and heart disease.Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and thoroughly test new drugs. Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise. This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight, but also help them stay healthy and energetic.8. According to the scientists, some people ________.A. are able to stay thin because of genetic factorsB. can eat what they want and stay healthy foreverC. usually keep doing exercise to lose their weightD. don’t eat anything every day but still put on weight9. Some people don’t need to worry about weight problems because ________.A. they eat many vegetablesB. they eat less than othersC. they don’t store any energy from food as fatD. they can burn off the extra food without making fat10. What can we learn from the passage?A. Fewer people will have weight problems in the future.B. People with weight problems may suffer from heart trouble.C. We now have good medicine for people with weight problems.D. The result of the experiments on mice and humans are different.11. What does the last paragraph imply?A. Current medicine solve weight problems well.B. We should exercise regularly and eat properly.C. Taking exercise every day may cause heart problems.D. Testing new drugs is hard because of the side effects.DHappiness is not a warm phone, according to anew study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their Phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions."The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use," Twenge said. "Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness."Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU. S.teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens' lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.12. Which method did Twenge's team use for the study?A. Calculating students' happiness.B. Asking students certain questions.C. Analyzing data from a survey.D. Doing experiments on screen time.13. How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3?A. By making a comparison.B. By giving an example.C. By making an argument.D. By introducing a concept.14. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To draw a conclusion from the study.B. To offer some advice to the readers.C. To prove social activities' importance.D. To support the researchers' finding.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Quitting Phones Equals HappinessB. Screen Time Should Be BannedC. Teens' Lives Have Changed SharplyD. Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Recent development has made possiblemachines that print, cook, and serve foods o n a mass scale. And the industryisn’t stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook canprint complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on awedding cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, buta printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to”re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly thesame,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, allof the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.SustainabilityThe global population is expectedto grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food productionwill need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainabilityis becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to thesolution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids from plentiful renewables like algae and grass to replace the familiar ingredients. 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock “food” that lasts years on end, freeing upshelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers couldmake processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University,said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customizednutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’sbread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you ondemand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, mostingredients must be changed to a paste before a printer can use them,and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interactwith each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D foodprinters now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk productsmay easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believingthey are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-endrestaurants.(1)What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A . It helps cooks to create new dishes.B . It saves time and effort in cooking.C . It improves the cooking conditions.D . It contributes to restaurant decorations.(2)What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?A . It solves food shortages easily.B . It quickens the transportation of food.C . It needs no space for the storage of food.D . It uses renewable materials as sources of food.(3)According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ________.A . is more available to consumersB . can meet individual nutritionalneedsC . is more tasty than food in supermarketsD . can keep all the nutrition in raw materials(4)What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?A . The printing process is complicated.B . 3D food printers are too expensive.C . Food materials have to be dry.D . Some experts doubt 3D food printing.(5)What could be the best title of the passage?A . 3D Food Printing: Delicious New TechnologyB . A New Way to Improve 3D Food PrintingC . The Challenges for 3D Food ProductionD . 3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table19. 阅读理解Failure is probably the most exhaustingexperience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness intwo ways: as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keepputting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And thelonger we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is veryreal, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle themost difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, Idetermined to write them in alphabetical, never letting myself leaveout a tough idea. And I always startedthe day’s work with the difficult taskof essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is moredifficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do thejob right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we failagain and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let theunconscious take over.When planning EncyclopaediaBritannica , I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of itsarticles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after dat I keptcoming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almostunbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, Iwrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried toconvince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me.Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke upsuddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, thesolution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at everystep. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now asexciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe musttry to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.(1)People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A . delay tasksB . work hardC . seek helpD . accept failure(2)What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A . Writing essays in strict order.B . Building up physical strength.C .Leaving out the toughest ideas.D . Dealing with the hardest task first.(3)On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A . Before starting a difficult task.B . When all the solutions fail.C . If the job is rather boring.D . After finding a way out.(4)According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A . ignore mental problemsB . get some nice sleepC . gain complete reliefD . find the right solution(5)What could be the best title for the passage?A . Success Is Built upon FailureB . How to Handle Performance FatigueC . Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD . Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems20. 阅读理解A scientist working at her lab bench and asix-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. Afterall, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature ofthe physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing…right? Perhaps,but some developmental psychologists have argued that this “play” is morelike a scientific invest igation than one might think.Take a closer look at the babyplaying at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge,it falls in the ground---and, in the process, it belongs out important evidenceabout how physical objects interact; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, butrequire support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowingthe basic fact of the universe; nor are they everclearly taught it. Instead,babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experimentsand then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact.Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and thescientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim, overall approach , and logic.Some psychologists suggest thatyoung children learn about more than just the physical world in this way---thatthey investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similarmeans. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering,and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea thatother people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, forexample, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.Viewing childhood developmentas a scientific investigation throws on how children learn, but it also offersan inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children andscientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that scienceas an effort ---the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world---issimply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided humanbabies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adultscientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. Thesame cognitive systems that make young children feel good about feel good aboutfiguring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As somepsychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientis ts butthat scientists are big children.”(1)According to some developmental psychologists .A . a baby’s play is nothing more than a gameB . scientific research into babies; games is possibleC . the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigatedD . a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment (2)We learn from Paragraph 2 that .A . scientists and babies seem to observe the world differentlyB . scientists and babies often interact with each otherC . babies are born with the knowledge of object supportD . babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do(3)Children may learn the rules of language by .A . exploring the physical worldB . investigating human psychologyC . repeating their own experimentsD . observing their parents’ behaviors (4)What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A . The world may be more clearly explained through children’s play.B . Studying babies’ play may lead to a better understanding of science.C . Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists.D . One’s drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.(5)What is the author’s tone when he discusses the connection between scientists’ research and babies’ play?A . Convincing.B .

Moral stories D.Adventure literature B A federal judge in California has dismissed a lawsuit against the Coca-Cola company which argued that DietCoke misled people to believe the drink would help them lose weight.The case was brought by Shana Becerra who said that she had bought and drank Diet Coke because she believed it would contribute to weight loss and healthy weight management. She alleged that Diet Coke had the opposite effect, citing studies that she claimed showed sweeteners with no nutritional value like those used in Diet Coke caused weight gain and increased risk of certain diseases.Although Coca-Cola’s arguments against the suit were not adequate, Judge William Alsup said the prosecutor (检察官) failed to show that consumers were likely to be deceived by the advertising.Alsup dismissed the case because Becerra had not met the requirement that “members of the public are likely to be deceived”. “In supermarkets, Diet Coke is displayed next to regular soft drinks and is not sold in t he health-food section. Reasonable consumers would understand that Diet Coke merely deletes the calories usually present in regular Coke, and that the caloric reduction will lead to weight loss only as part of an overall sensible diet and exercise regimen (养生法) dependent on individual metabolism (新陈代谢),” Alsup said in the decision.Alsup said the studies cited by Becerra suggest a connection between Diet Coke-type drinks and weight gain, but they do not suggest causation. He added that one of the studies eve n says that weight gain is “due to the behavior of consumers, rather than the effects of non-nutritive sweeteners.” Alsup also rejected the idea that Diet Cokeadvertising would suggest advertising will feature healthy and attractive consumers enjoying the subject products and will not star the unhealthy and unfit.”The decision on Tuesday, said that the prosecutor has until March 22 to file a motion to amend the complaint. A spokesperson for the Coca-Cola company said they were content with the fact that the court dismissed prosecutor baseless complaint.41. What was the lawsuit against?A. One of Coca-Cola’s drinks made people think it would make them thinner.B. The Coca-Cola company misled people to believe the safety of its products.C. The advertisements exaggerated the health effects of Diet Coke.D. The judge discriminated the consumers in favor of the Coco-Cola company.42. What are the side effects of sweeteners?A. They stimulate people’s spirits and make them energetic.B. They increase people’s weight and the potential possibility of getting sick.C. They provide nutritious refreshment for fat consumers.D. They add a nice touch to the soft drinks and make them popular.43. Why did Judge William Alsup dismiss the charge?A. Because the prosecutor couldn’t provide solid evidence to support her lawsuit.B. Because the Coca-Cola company didn’t do anything wrong.C. Because he was reasonable enough to know the effects of soft drinks.D. Because the consumer made no sense in this lawsuit.44. According to Alsup, how can people lose weight with Diet Coke?A. They should reduce the calories they take in.B. They should replace the regular Coca with Diet Coke.C. They should reduce their drinking of Diet Coke.D. They should pay attention to their diet and do exercise.45. What was the Coca-Cola company’s attitude towards the Judge’s decision?A. Angry.B. Regretful.C. Pleased.D. Shameful.CWhen author Nicholas Carr began researching his book on whether the Internet is ruining our minds, he restricted his online access and e-mail. His new book argues the latest technology renders us less capable of deep thinking. Carr found himself so distracted (分心的) that he couldn’t work on the book while staying as connected.After first feeling confused by his sudden lack of online connection, he was able to stay focused on one task for a long period within several weeks.Reading on the Internet has changed how we use our brains. Facing much text, video, music, links to other web pages and blogs, our minds have become used to skimming and scanning information. As a result, we have developed sharper skills at making fast decision, particularly visual ones, Carr wrote.But now most of us seldom read books, long articles that would help us focus. We are becoming more like librarians than scholars who digest and interpret information. That lack of focus hinders (妨碍)our long-term memory, leading many of us to feel distracted, he wrote.“What we are losing is a whole other set of mental skills, the ones that require not the shifting of our focus but the maintaining of our focus,” Carr said, adding that for centuries books shielded (保护)our brains from distraction, focusing our minds on one topic at a time.But with devices such as Apple’s iPad becoming common, Carr pre dicts book s too will change. “New forms of reading always require new forms of writing,” he wrote. Carr has a suggestion for those who feel web surfing has left them incapable of concentration — slow down, turn off the Internet and practice the skills of contemplation (思考)and reflection. “It is pretty clear from the brain science that if you are constantly distracted, you are not going to think in the same way that you would think if you paid attention.”46. The underline word “renders” can be replaced by ________.A. causesB. preventsC. protectsD. sharpens47. What topic is Carr’s new book mainly concentrating on?A. Whether there is no need for us to surf the InternetBHow the Internet changes our method of writing.C. Whether our minds are being influenced by the InternetD. What we should do when we are surfing the Internet48. What did Carr feel after he limited his time online several weeks later?A. AnxiousB. ConcentratedC. RelaxedD. Puzzled49. Carr says we are becoming kind of librarians mainly because__________.A. we are able to find information online quicklyB. we often feel bored of the information onlineC. we are good at using our mental skills onlineD. we have to focus on so much information online50. For those who are often distracted by the Internet, Carr suggests that they should _________.A. read more books besides surfing the InternetB. spend less time in surfing the Internet at a deep nightC. often slow down their pace of modern livingD. often get away from the disturbing of the InternetDWe may be living in the digital age, but reading books is still a big part of growing up. When they’re in primary school, children read books that really challenge them. But once they reach secondary school, the level of difficulty doe sn’t change much. Secondary school students tend to read books which are also read by upper primary students. They are not challenging themselves enough.To discover these trends, I analyzed data collected by Accelerated Reader (AR) software, which asks pupils to check th eir understanding of the books they’ve chosen to read. The difficulty —which I call “readability”.I also created two lists of books: one for the books that most secondary pupils had chosen to read, and another for the books they had voted as their favori tes. According to the readability, these students’ favorite books tend to be much more advanced than the other books they chose, but they could still understand them. The rest of the books most often chosen by them are quite simple.You might think that students who read harder books might make more mistakes and understand them less well. But students’ quality of comprehension does not depend on the difficulty of the book, no matter what year of secondary school they’re in. Having an interes t is the most obvious factor here — if you like the book, you try hard to really understand it.As children become teenagers, they listen less to advice from adults and more to advice from kids of their age. So, rather than trying to lecture young people on the benefits of Jane Austen, we should make the nature of the problem clear to them. Students should challenge each other to read more difficult books. Adults could help by setting up noticeboards or organizing social media networks for young people to share their recommendations. And teachers can lend a hand by setting aside time for reading in school. Young people will realize the problems that come when they don’t challenge themselves to read difficult books.51. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Children spend little time on after-class readingB. Secondary school students seldom read tough booksC. Children’s reading interest tends to decrease as they grow upD. Primary students have difficulty choosing good reading materials52. The author made use of AR software to ________.A. understand children’s different reading stylesB. show the average time children spend on readingC. find out the causes of children’s reading difficultiesD. make clear the difficulty levels of books read by children53. What can we infer about secondary school students from the readability scores?A. They find some advanced books interestingB. They often make mistakes during advanced readingC. They prefer to read books recommended by their parentsD. They can hardly improve their scores on reading comprehension54. According to Paragraph 4, what is vital for improving reading comprehension?A.Basic knowledgeB. Reading skillsC. MotivationD. Instruction 55. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph? A. Designing relatively difficult textbooks is necessary B. Improving students’ reading is a shared responsibility C. Advanced technology should be used in reading reaching D. Students should be encouraged to read more literary works 四阅读表达It’s not easy to be a st ay-at-home military mom. From military bases to apartments to mobile home communities,the one thing we could always count on was moving. Goodbye to old friends, hello to new ones. From climate to climate and town to town, I found myself wondering if my children would ever be able to put down roots.It’s true that I would be there for them, but money was always short, and sometimes my husband’s pay record would be lost for months. Pinching pennies became an art form. From dusk to dawn, I made my children’s clothing, often redesigning hand-me-downs (旧衣服). I was once asked what made me so creative. My answer was both brief and honest: desperation.My children adjusted with courage and humor. Their strength amazed me. But with no extended family, I often wondered if they would ever feel that they had roots. Would my children be harmed in the long run without feeling roots? What could I do?Then I began gardening. We planted an apple tree. South Carolina is not exactly the perfect apple state. But thatwas never the point. We just knew the tree we planted really set root there. We lived in the Charleston for nearly eight years and our garden grew larger each year.Not long ago, we did a search on Google Earth, and we found the house that had contained the laughter and dreams that we shared for eight years in Charleston. We scanned closer and closer down, down, and down and there it was, our little apple tree, alive and well.Bittersweet tears rolled down my cheeks as I remembered the day we planted that tree. It had survived hurricanes, drought, and much so rrow, and so had we. At that moment, I finally understood. The apple tree’s roots, growing deep in South Carolina soil, were much like our family. Deep in the soil of shared joys and sorrows, our roots are strong in one another, in faith and in love.56. What bothered the author as a stay-at-home military mom?(no more than 5 words)57.

3. What will the woman probably do?
A. Leave for home. B. Check the lab. C. Do her experiment.
4. What do we learn about the woman?
A.whyB.what
C.asD.that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意:通常对于那些心存希望的人来说一切皆有可能。此句中It为形式主语,that从句为真正的主语。从句的句意和句子结构完整。故D项正确。
【名师点睛】that引导主语从句:由连词that引导的主语从句,在大多数情况下不放句首,用it作形式主语来代替它的位置。常见的以it作形式主语的主语从句的句型有三种:
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:许多年轻人,其中大多数受过良好教育,前往偏远地区追逐梦想。本题中含有一个定语从句,先行词是Many young people,关系代词whom指代先行词,在定语从句中作介词of的宾语。故C项正确。
【点睛】在非限制性定语从句中,先行词作为一个整体,表示整体中的一部分,即表示"部分与整体"的关系时,用…of which / whom表示,这时不能用whose来代替of which。表示所属关系时,of which/whom可以与whose互换。

She was born with a cleft palate (聘裂)and had to bear the jokes and stares of cruel children who teased her nonstop about her lip, crooked nose, and difficult speech. With all the teasing, Mary grew up hating the fact that she was ^ifferenf. She was convinced that no one, outside her family, could ever love her until she entered Mrs. Leonard’s class.Mrs. Leonard had a warm smile, a round face, and shiny brown hair. While everyone in her class liked her, Mary came to love Mrs. Leonard. In the 1950% it was common for teachers to give their children an annual hearing test. However, in Mary's case, in addition to her cleft palate, she was barely able to hear out of one ear. Determined not to let the other children have another difference51 to point out, she would cheat on the test each year. The l'whisper test” was given by having a child walk to the classroom door, turn sideways, dose one ear with a finger, and then repeat something which the teacher whispered. Mary turned her bad ear towards her teacher and pretended to cover her good ear. She knew thai teachers would often sa> things like, 4tThe sky is blue,” or “What color are your shoes?” But not on that day,Surely, what Mrs. Leonard said that day changed Mary’s life foreven When the “whisper test” came,Mary heard the words: “I wish you were my little girl”Parents, I wish there were some ways that I could communicate to you the unbelievable blessing which encouraging words impart C 传授)to children. While words from a godly teacher can melt a heart, words from a parent can powerfully set the course of a life.If encouraging words were something rarely spoken in your home,let me give you some tips on words and phrases that can brighten your own child’s eyes and life. These words are easy to say to any child who comes into your life. I’m proud of you, Way to go, Bingo...25 .What can we know about Mary from the first paragraph?A. She used to be laughed at by some studentsB. She differed from other kids in gradesC. She had to stare at those cruel childrenD. She liked to play jokes with other kids26. Why did Mary cheat on the whisper test?A. To get a better listening grade.B. To win the love of her teacher .C. To find which of her ears was bad.D. To prevent others knowing her hearing problem.27. What’s the purpose of writing the passage?A. To encourage parents to say encouraging words to their kidsB. To inspire disabled students to be confident in themselvesC. To expect parents to praise their kids at homeD. To advise teachers to treat every student fairlyCThe biggest rule in soccer: no using arms and hands. So as a ball sails through the air,the easiest way a player may have to change the ball’s direction is using his or her head. Those “headers”,however, can cause concussions (脑震荡),a type of brain injuries. Several sports organizations support banning headers from soccer games played by younger athletes——those not yet in high school.Comsiock and her team analyzed data from the High School R10lM. Some of the injuries (17 percent in boys and 29 percent in girls) were caused by contact with the ball or another piece of equipment. Other concussions occurred when a player hit the ground (13.3 percent of boys and 19.2 percent of girls). But collisions (碰撞事故)between two players accounted for 68.6 percent of brain injuries in boys and 51.3 percent of those in girls.The researchers also looked at just those concussions due to heading or trying to head the ball. Among boys, 30.6 percent of the concussions occurred this way. Among girls,253 percent did. But only a small percentage of such injuries occurred simply from the ball contacting the head. More than half of concussions during headers resulted when two players collided.Most concussions from headers happen during games, Comstock reports. That sbecause two players may try to head the ball at the same time. Such “contested’ headers rarely happen during practices,she points out. It’s aggressive play —not headers alone —behind most injuries, her team now concludes.Soccer-related concussions also have become more common in recent years, Comstock notes. That reflects an increasingly aggressive culture of play. The best solution to reducing brain injuries may not be banning headers, she says. Enforcing rules and preventing the collisions responsible for most concussions could be more effective.These are valuable findings,says Andrew Lincoln, The new findings provide a wake-up call that soccer officials need to improve safety. And these changes can be introduced without making big changes to the way the game is played, he adds, “As we’re seeing in other sports, such change s can be made to improve players,health and safety and still keep the essence ofthe game.”28. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A.The strict rule in soccerB.The result of concussionsC.The result of headersD.The effect of brain injuries29. The underlined phrase “accounted for” may mean.A. were necessary forB. were responsible forC. were important toD. were suitable for30. What can we know from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A.The crashes between players lead to brain injuriesB.Girl players have more concussions than boy playersC.Players are more aggressive in the playing groundD.Most concussions from headers happen during practices 31.what's Andrew's attitude towards banning headers?A.PositiveB.DisapprovingC.ObjecttiveD.UninterestedDReducing some climate pollutants could save millions of lives. Gases, like soot (油烟), or black carbon,methane and ozone in city smog, are called “short-livedclimate pollutants': Not only do they contribute to climate change, but they can cause ill health.The UN health group also says the pollutants can decrease agricultural crops. These pollutants exist both outdoors and indoors.WHO Environment Chief Maria Neira says the pollutants have a strong impact on climate change. She says the good news is that they only stay in the atmosphere for a few days to 10 years. That is much shorter than carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, which can remain for hundreds, or even thousands of years.“For the fact that they are short-lived pollutants, when you address them,you can reduce emissions(排放场)very rapidly,and then improve air quality as well as slowing the rate of climate change* You will have an immediate reduction in ill health and diseases caused by the reduction of air pollution.”The WHO has a number of available and affordable ways to lessen these short-lived climate pollutants. At the top of their list: cutting vehicle emissions by requiring higher emissions and efficiency standards. More emissions are released when engines are running.Indoor air pollution also contributes to bad health and premature death. The WHO reports that nearly 3 billion low-income households rely on “dirty fuels”. Coal, wood and kerosene used for cooking and heating are examples. They say cleaner and more efficient stoves and fuel alternatives could cut down on the health risks. Another way they say to cut back on these pollutants is to have more investments and policies for rapid transit (运送). These include buses, trains,bicycles or walking routes. They say these investments could have many benefits, including safer travel, reduced health risks from noise and air pollution and more physical activities. The WHO report also calls for encouraging high- and middle-income populations to include more plant-based foods in their diets. It says this could reduce heart disease and somecancers. It could also slow the methane gas production that comes with some animal-sourced foods.32. Why are some climate pollmanis called the “—-lived”?A. They won't remain in the air for longB. They will shorten the life 0f peopleC. They can change climate in a short timeD. They may cause deadly illnesses33. What Maria said suggests that dealing with pollutants .A.will take about hundreds of yearsB. will have a positive effect at onceC. will keep air quality good for a few daysD. will change climate in a short time34.

Developing public transport35.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Cut Climate Pollutants to Save LivesB. Reduce Pollutants from the Air DirectlyC. Quit Dirty Fuels for Cleaner AirD. Get Rid of Short-lived Pollutants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。
