He was slow to talk and had difficulty in learning to read.When Albert was five years old, his father gave him a compass (指南针). Albert was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle (针) always pointed in the same direction —the north. He asked his father and uncle what caused the needle to move.Their answers were difficult for Albert to understand. Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them. He said later that he felt something must be behind things.Albert did not like school. The German schools of that time were not pleasant. Students couldn’t ask q uestions. Albert said he felt as if he were in prison.One day Albert told his uncle Jacob how much he hated school, especially mathematics. His uncle told him to solve mathematical problems by pretending to be a policeman. "You are looking for someone," he said, "but you do not know who he is. Call him X. Find him by using your mathematical tools."Albert learned to love mathematics. He was studying the complex mathematics of calculus (微积分学) while all his friends were still studying simple mathematics. Instead of playing with friends he thought about things such as "What would happen if people could travel at the speed of light?".Albert wanted to teach mathematics and physics. He graduated with honors, but it was a pity that he could not get a teaching job.41. Why did Albert Einstein hate school? A. He couldn’t play with his friends there.B.

June 1st of 2008 was their 23rd wedding anniversary (周年纪念), and I find that they have grown closer and closer, and in almost every one of those years, my dad has surprised me.

We were living in College Station, Texas and my wife and I were on our way home from Houston to Texas one Saturday morning. We decided to stop at a local restaurant to get something to eat since we had enough time. When we finished, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a homeless man standing in front of the building. His clothes were worn and it looked as though he didn’t have any money. It was cold and I’m sure he wanted something warm to drink; however, it was not this that moved (感动) me. A dog was also walking up to the front of the building. Being a dog owner, I knew that the dog was a mother, and that she had just had some pups (幼小动物). She was hungry and weak and I felt bad for her. I knew if she didn’t eat soon, she and her pupp ies would not live on. People walking by didn’t even notice her. She was not as pretty and clean as most dogs, but she still deserved (值得) better. We still did not do anything, but someone else did.

Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green －a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. The se help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.57. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. color and its surprising effects.B. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness58. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_______________.A. tell different shapesB. see in a weak lightC. kill mosquitoesD. tell orange from yellow59. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer color-blind womenC. Women are fonder of driving than men.D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.60. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.B. None of them can see deep red.C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.D. All of them see everything in shades of green.四．单词拼写(每小题1分，共计10分)1.. He speaks with a strong British a_____.2.

新疆高一高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.After returning from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me 12 pounds，” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me 12 pounds.”Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam，” he said politely. “I'll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburnt.” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey？”“Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”“That's fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can't swim a bit yet. Of course，she's o nly three ...”“I'm four，” the child said proudly. “I'll be four and a half.”Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam.” he said. “But you didn't get one for your daughter, did you？”“Er, well ...” the woman looked at the child. “I mean .., she hasn't started school yet. She's only four.”“A fouryearold child must have a ticket, Madam. A child's return ticket from Jersey costs .., let me see ... 13.50 pounds. The law is the law, but since the mistake is mine ...”The woman stood up, took the child's hand and left the office.【1】The woman was angry because ________.A．she couldn't use the ticket for her round tripB．she had to return home a day earlier than she had plannedC．she spent more money than she had expectedD．Harry had sold her a ticket to Jersey where there was no sailing【2】Harry started talking to the little girl ________.A．because he was in trouble and did not know what to doB．because he had a little girl about the same age as this girlC．because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl who looked so niceD．when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl【3】When Harry said，“The law is the law, but since the mistake was mine ...” he meant that ________. A．they must follow it, even though the mistake was hisB．he had to be strict with the woman because of the law, although he didn't want toC．the woman had to pay him 1.50 pounds and the railway would pay her for the hotelD．she should pay 1.50 pounds，but he had made a mistake, she could go without paying【4】The woman left the office without saying anything because ________.A．she wanted to go home and get money for the child's ticketB．she was so angry that she didn't have anything to do with the young manC．she was moved by Harry's kindnessD．she knew she would have to pay the railway if she insisted2.The weather is very important to farmers. The calendar might say “August”， but the weather's more like October. For some farmers the cool weather is a good thing. For others, it's a cause for concern.At Apple Hill, the cooler weather was giving the Boeger Winery a chance to concentrate on bottling instead of picking. “Things were really maturing, it has just been a welcome relief to have more time to prepare.” said Greg Boeger of Boeger Winery.But down in the Delta, the earlier hot weather has them two weeks ahead of schedule. Their harvest actually started on Tuesday, and this cooling trend is a worry. There have been no problems yet, but for each of the last two years heavy rain right after Labor Day was a problem, one that Don Pylman would not like to see repeated. “If it doesn't start raining, we're in good shape，” said Pylman. “If the sun comes out and clears up we can get right back to work, but if we do get rain, the rots will start.”The kind of grape makes a difference as well. Thin-skinned grapes like the chardonnay variety are much more sensitive to rain than some of the others. They're also more difficult to dry off.【1】The weather change ________.A．shows that the calendar lacks scienceB．does good to farmersC．shows that the globe is more and more warmingD．doesn't always make farmers worried【2】From the second paragraph we know the Boeger Winery ________.A．isn't prepared for the weather changeB．has his wine bottled earlier than usualC．has no chance to pick the grapeD．in fact，doesn't welcome the weather change【3】The underlined “them” in the third paragraph refers to “________”．A．the grapesB．the family of WineryC．the farmers at Apple HillD．the farmers in the Delta3.A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him escape punishment.The event happened in the early rooming hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power, late in August, 1923. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite (套房) at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had occupied several years before. The former President's wife was still living in the White House.Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.Coolidge spoke, “I wish you wouldn't take that.”The thief, gaining his voice, said, “Why？”“I don't mean the watch and chain, only the charm (表坠). Take it near the window and read what is impressed on its back.” the President said.The thief read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidge.”“Are you President Coolidge？” he asked.The President answered, “Yes, and the House of Representatives (众议院) gave me that watch charm. I'm fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let's talk this over.”Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, “I'll take this and leave everything else.”Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.Coolidge decided to offer the man and his roommate two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan (借款)．He then told the young man, “There is a guard in the corridor.” The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.【1】Why did Calvin Coolidge live at the Willard Hotel in those days?A．Because the former President was still living in the White House.B．Because the former First Lady hadn't left the White House.C．Because the First Lady liked to live there.D．Because he liked there.【2】The young man and his roommate went back to the college ________.A．by air B．by waterC．by bus D．by train【3】What is NOT the character of President Coolidge?A．Considerate.B．Kind.C．Generous.D．Selfish.【4】Which of the following might happen afterwards?A．The young student repaid the $32.B．The thief was put into prison.C．The President told many reporters the thief's name.D．The President ordered the young man to repay the money.4.This day three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop in England and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what the trouble was about. The three foreigners seemed all at sea and looked embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus — the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well if he/she knows that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will probably leave you thirsty.At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeatedly refilled as soon as you drink up. If you think that you have had enough, you should take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could cause trouble. Also, you should try to avoid touching the head of an adult — it's just not done in Thailand.【1】The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way because the gentlemen ________. A．were foreignersB．didn't have ticketsC．made a loud noiseD．didn't line up for the bus【2】According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country，you should ________. A．learn the language of the countryB．understand the manners and customs of the countryC．have enough time and moneyD．make friends with the people there【3】In India it is considered impolite ________.A．to use the right hand for passing food at tableB．to pass food with the left handC．to eat food with your handsD．to help yourself at table【4】The best title for this article is ________.A．People's Everyday LifeB．Mind Your MannersC．Shaking and Nodding HeadD．Taking a Bus in England二、其他For a long time, I have been thinking about the idea of going abroad to do something worthwhile(值得做的), such as doing some voluntary work, working with kids or animals. However, I had been stopped for different choices with the kind of things I could do and different countries where I could do them. 【1】 And I had been puzzling over how I was able to afford the flights, costs and everything.I thought I couldn't wait to do something.【2】 So I just got up off my bed and went downstairs. I started making sandwiches, and then put some crisps, some biscuits and an apple into about six little picnic bags. I called a couple of friends and told them my idea that I was going into the city to give these foods out to the homeless.【3】While we were buying some other things in the supermarket, we saw a whole cooked chicken that was on sale, so we bought it. We gave it to the first homeless man we came across.【4】 What a feeling like no other!【5】 But I was very sad because I knew I had only helped one person out of thousands. Actually, it made me cry. But still at least I felt good to have helped others and the excitement got me satisfied, so I just had to keep doing that!I think we don't need to look too hard or travel too far for the things that are always on our own doorsteps. A．He was really shocked and grateful.B．He seemed glad to share the story with others.C．They don't need to travel far for voluntary work.D．Besides, it's very expensive to prepare for that.E. I said to myself, “I have to do something worthwhile NOW！”F. My friends loved my idea so much that they decided to join me.G. I felt very happy because I did something making someone's day.三、完形填空All kinds of people come in to have their shoes shined. Most folks are friendly. But this man was different. “How much do you make a week, boy？” he asked me. I felt he was ______ at me. He kept giving a sharp______ around every now and then.

But anyway, they have concerts and they enjoy travellingfrom one place to another. It isthe public's fault because they accept this and are pleasedwith this commercial music. People who enjoy this kind ofmusic are generally young peoplewhile adults prefer listening to good old bands.However, the young generation should understandwhile appearance is important,it is less important thantalent and a good voice. It is very necessary to be able tosing wellwhen preparing a concert and all these bands thathave little to do with good music arefailures on stage.

The day was hot.She went into a store and asked,"Do you have cold drinks？"The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question.Still the woman said nothing.She later learned that the woman had answered her:She had raised her eyebrows(眉毛),which in Micronesia means"yes".Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria,a country in Europe.She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage.She asked the waiter,"Do you have cabbage today？"He nodded his head.Jan waited,but the cabbage never came.In that country,a nod means"no".Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India.After explaining something in class,he asked his students if they understood.They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head.He thought some people had not understood,so he explained again.When he asked again,they did the same thing.He soon found out that his students did understand.In India,people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from.You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean"yes"or"no"．8．The Americans teaching English in other countries found that they____.A．had problems with communicationB．needed to learn foreign languagesC．should often discuss their experiencesD．should go abroad for vacations9．People in Micronesia show"yes"by____.A．nodding heads B．raising eyebrowsC．shaking heads D．saying"no"10．Tom misunderstood his class at first because____.A．he didn't know where the students came fromB．he didn't explain everything clearly enoughC．some students didn't understand his questionsD．he did not know much about Indian culture11．Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A．In Bulgaria,nodding heads means"no"B．Jan taught English on a Pacific island.C．Lisa was trying to buy some cabbage.D．In India，only shaking heads means"yes".阅读理解My favorite activity is playing,watching,reading,and really anything to do with basketball.A basketball court(球场)is where I feel most at home.As I see it,it's wildly popular in the US and its athletes are extremely recognizable,because it's the one sport where an athlete's face is not covered up by a football helmet(头盔)or baseball hat.My favorite time and place is anywhere and anytime.I prefer indoors,although it can be played outdoors.Many people often play in a driveway at home,but the best is always against someone on a court.I started playing basketball because of my favorite player,Shaquille O'Neal.He was a huge,unstoppable player. When I was11years old,I decided to go outside to the family basketball hoop(球框)and take a shot(投球).This was my first time ever shooting a basketball.I will never forget the first shot I ever took.It was perfect.It felt amazing!And I've been in love with this sport ever since!I learned a long time ago that very few people are going to have the love of this game that I do.I've always understood that in this area,for the most part,I am alone.Especially coming from the state of Texas,where football is king.I'm not the best of players.When I do good things on court,I know it's because I can make up for my lack(缺乏) of athleticism by being a student of the game.I've never missed a training day.I don't worry about school,family,or problems.I think about what's in front of me,and how I can get the basketball in the hoop.Playing,watching,and reading about basketball fills me with a sense of enjoyment that I truly do feel that veryfew people can match.12．What does the author think of basketball?A．It should be played indoors.B．It has won popularity in the US.C．It is more dangerous than other sports.D．It has become a game for huge people.13．How did the author feel after his first shot?A．Very nervous.B．Truly tired.C．Really excited.D．Quite free.14．What do we know about the author as a basketball player?A．He is happy to improve himself through hard work.B．He really enjoys playing basketball alone.C．He would rather be a football player.D．He is on Shaquille O'Neal's team.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Life lessons from playing basketballB．My road to being a basketball playerC．Changes in my basketball dreamD．My great love of basketball二、第一部分，阅读，第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

2020-2021学年乌鲁木齐第八中学高三英语上学期期末考试试题及答案

2020-2021学年乌鲁木齐第八中学高三英语上学期期末考试试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe “laugh out loud” face is officially the world’s most popular emoji, according to researchers from Adobe (ADBE) who surveyed 7,000 users across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Australia, and South Korea.The “thumbs up” emoji came in second, followed by the “red heart” emoji. The flirtatious “wink and kiss” and “sad face with a tear” emojis respectively rounded out the top five.The software maker on Thursday released the findings from its 2021 Global Emoji Trend Report ahead of World Emoji Day on Saturday.Adobe’s latest Emoji Trend report also examined the three most misunderstood emojis in the world. The “eggplant” symbol edged out the “peach” and the “clown” emojis respectively as the most confusing for users.The vast majority of emoji users (90%) believe the modern —day hieroglyphs make it easier for them to express themselves. Eighty — nine percent of respondents said emojis simplify communicating across language barriers. And 67% said they think people who use emojis are friendlier, funnier and cooler than those who don’t. A slight majority of respondents said they are more comfortable expressing emotions through emojis than talking on the phone or in —person. More than half of global emoji users (55%) said using emojis in communications has positively impacted their mental health. Seventy — six percent of those surveyed said emojis are an important communication tool for creating unity, respect and understanding. And 88% said they feel more empathetic toward people who use emojis.1.What are the three most popular emojis according to the passage?A.clown thumbs up laugh out loudugh out loud thumbs up wink and kissugh out loud thumbs up red heartD.thumbs up red heart sad face with a tear2.Which emoji is the most confusing one for users?A.Peach.B.Eggplant.C.Clown.D.Wink and kiss.3.Which of the following best describes the attitude of most people surveyed to emojis?A.Favorable.B.Passive.C.Indifferent.D.Doubtful.BScientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (麻省理工学院) have turned spider webs into music——creating an strange soundtrack that could help them better understand how the spiders output their complex creations and even how they communicate.The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno to take 2D (two-dimensional) laser (激光) scans of a spider web, which were linked together and made into a mathematical model that could recreate the web in 3Din VR (virtual reality). They also worked with MIT’s music department to create the virtual instrument.“Even though the web looks really random (随机)，there actually are a lot of inside structures and you can visualize (可视化) them and you can look at them, but it’s really hard to grasp for the human imagination or human brain to understand all these structural details,” said MIT engineering professor Markus Buehler, who presented the work on Monday at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web lets you see and hear these structural changes and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world, he told CNN. “Spiders use vibrations (振动) as a way to locate themselves, to communicate with other spiders and so the idea of thinking really like a spider would experience the world was something that was very important to us as spider material scientists,” Buehler said.Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports, so having a better idea of how they work could lead to the development of advanced new 3D printing techniques. “The reason why I did that is I wanted to be able to get information really from the spider world, which is very weird and mysterious,” Buehler explained. In addition to the scientific value, Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the sounds the spider creates during construction. “It’s unusual and eerie and scary, but finally beautiful.” he described.4. What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?A. They have translated spider webs into sounds.B. They have made a mathematical model to produce webs.C. They have created a soundtrack to catch spiders.D. They have known how spiders communicate.5. What can we know about spider webs from paragraph 3?A. Their structures are beautiful and clear.B. Professor Markus Buehler knows them well.C. The American Chemical Society presents the result.D. They are complex for people to figure it out.6. In which field will the study be helpful?A. virtual realityB. printingC. paintingD. film-making7. What is the main idea of the passage?A. It tells us that the music created by spiders is scary.B. It shows how the researchers carry out the experiment.C. It presents a new and creative way to study spiders.D. It explains why scientists did the experiment.CSpain's tourism industry is looking to Chinese tourists for its high-endmarket, according to Rafael Cascales, president of the Spain-China Tourism Association (ATEC). “It is the kind of tourism that is not only interested in the sun, beach and the “all-included” culture. They enjoy culture, wine, history and nature, and the new Chinese tourists would also want to spend more money in Spain," said Cascales in a recent interview with Xinhua.“They are younger, more women travel and they are more cosmopolitan (见多识广的).They also travel on their own or in couples or in smaller groups. The old-fashioned large groups of visitors have not disappeared, but this new form of traveling is becoming more important,55he said.Speaking of the consumption pattern of the new kind of Chinese tourists, Cascales said, “The money they spend is distributed better because they will book one flight with one airline, the hotel with another company and the restaurant with another.” In his eyes, “Chinese tourists are very important because they combine two things: there are a large number of them and they spend more money than anyone else — almost four times more than tourists from other countries." They not only travel abroad in the summer months when Spain has to compete with the sun and beaches in countries such as Turkey and Egypt, but also travel in the off-peak seasons of a year, according to Cascales.In 2017, Spain is the second most popular tourist destination in the world, only after France. It attracted about 82 million visitors, 700,000 of them from China, a number which is estimated to rise to about 2.2 million by 2022.“We are ready; we have the infrastructure (基础设施) at every level, especially in hotel capacity. Here those visitors can find what they are looking for, including the luxury items which distinguish them,” Cascales noted.8. What are the features of the new Chinese tourists according to Cascales?A. They are cautious about spending money in Spain.B. They are likely to travel in smaller groups now.C. They are only interested in the sun and beach.D. They are mainly male visitors of middle age.9. What can we learn about the consumption pattern of new Chinese tourists?A. They will reserve flights and hotels with different companies.B. They will spend less money than tourists from other countries.C. They will travel abroad only during the off-peak seasons.D. They will spend the money in different cities.10. What is done to meet the demands of Chinese tourists?A. Local cultures in Spain are promoted.B. Well-furnished hotels are provided.C. Best and expensive items are offered for free.D. More shopping sites are constructed.11. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce the tourism industry of Spain.B. To show Spain's desire to attract Chinese tourists.C. To describe the features of Chinese tourists.D. To advertise Spain as a top tourist destination.DSome of the oldest art in human history is being damaged, scientists say. And climate change may be speeding up its loss. Newresearch reports that ancient rock art in Indonesian caves is degrading over time, as bits of rock slowly break off from the walls. It's a huge loss for human history.Salt crystals（结晶）building up on the walls are a key part of the problem, the study suggests. These salt crystals go into the cave walls, changing sizes as temperatures rise and fall. This process causes the rock to slowly break down.Salt crystals may become larger when exposed to repeated changes between wet conditions and periods of drought. These kinds of changes are expected to become more obvious as the climate continues to warm.In particular, the researchers say, climate change may cause more intense El Nino（厄尔尼诺）events in thefuture. These events can strengthen the kinds of conditions that help salt crystals form Scientists are still debating the exact influence of climate change on El Nino, a natural climate cycle that drives changing patterns of warming and cooling in thePacific Ocean.The new study, led by Jillian Huntley, examined 11 ancient cave art sites in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The researchers found evidence of salt formation at all 11 sites. It's merely a small part There are more than 300 known eave art sites around the region. The researchers note that salt crystals may indeed be part of the problem, adding that climate change is a growing threat, one that deserves more attention.12. What is the main cause of the rocks breaking off from the wall?A. Weather patterns.B. Salt crystals.C. Wet conditions.D. Drought Periods.13. Which of the following may researchers agree with?A. El Nino events prevent salt crystals forming.B. Climate change makes little difference to El Nino.C.Salt crystals may become much larger in wet conditions.D. Constant warm weather may cause salt crystals to change size.14. Which word best describes Huntley's attitude to climate change?A. Worried.B. Curious.C. Doubtful.D. Positive.15. What can we learn from thelast paragraph?A. The formation and patterns of salt crystals.B. The impact of climate change on ancient rock arts.C. The historical value of ancient rock art in cave sites.D. The threats of human activities to ancient eave art sites.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。

2020-2021学年乌鲁木齐第八中学高三英语上学期期末考试试题及参考答案

2020-2021学年乌鲁木齐第八中学高三英语上学期期末考试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AWhat to Eat—and What to Skip—When It Comes to Takeout FoodIf the burden on your wallet doesn't bother you much, the effect your takeout habit can have on your waistline just might arouse your attention. Here's the best and worst of the lot for your belly.Steamed Vegetable Dumplings: Order This.When she orders Chinese, registered dietitian nutritionist Elisa Zied gets an order of steamed vegetable dumplings. "I often pair them with either chicken and broccoli in brown sauce（I ask for a little saucemade without sugar）or steamed shrimp dumplings," she tells us.Crab Wontons: Not That!When you deconstruct crab wontons, it's easy to see why they're a "Not That!" The inside is filled with crabmeat and cream cheese（which is just a fancy, spreadable fat）.The wonton is made of refined flour, egg and salt and the crispy（脆的）coating is a result of a deep oil bath.Peking Duck: Order This.Most of the fat from the skin flows out of the duck over the course of cooking, making this a healthier choice than most of the stir-fry dishes available. Order a side of steamed vegetables and serve it with a small scoop of brown rice. Done and done!Sweet and Sour Anything: Not That!Anything with “sweet and sour” in its title is a powerful cue that something has been deep-fried and covered in a sickly-sweet pink sauce. If you pair your selection with a side of rice, you're looking at a 1,000-calorie meal.Summer Roll: Order This.Summer rolls are steamed instead of fried—and typically filled with lean proteins and vegetables, making them a winning appetizer in our book. Pair them with an order of edamame（毛豆）and a broth-based soup for a satisfying, filling meal.Spring Roll: Not That!Spring=deep-fried, which is why we say to skip them! They're filled with fat and calories your belly doesn'tneed.1.What kind of cooking method should be skipped according to the text?A.Steaming.B.Stir-frying.C.Deep-frying.D.Boiling.2.Which of the following suits as a good starter for a meal?A.Chicken and broccoli.B.Steamed vegetable dumplings.C.Peking duck.D.Summer rolls.3.Where can the text be found?A.In a recipe.B.In a guidebook.C.In a science fiction.D.In a health magazine.BTechnology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us todo things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and anew way to attract customers.You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（配件）unmanageable,they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimateour ability to figure out how a complicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.4. What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A. The benefits brought by the advanced technology.B. The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.C. The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.D. Many problems of usability known by the consumers.5. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.B. What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.C. Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.D. The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product6. What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?A. They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.B. They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.C. They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.D. They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy ThingB. Feature-heavy Products in DemandC. The More Features, the BetterD. Simplicity Outweighs ComplexityCAustralia’s Great Barrier Reef has lost 50% of its corals (珊瑚) within 30 years, with climate change a key driver of reef disturbance, a new study has found.Researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, inQueensland, northeasternAustralia, studied coral communities and theirsize along the length of theGreat Barrier Reefbetween 1995 and 2017, finding all coral populations disappear gradually, they said.Reefs are important to the health of ocean ecosystems — without them, ecosystems break down and ocean life dies.Coral population decreases happened in both shallow and deep water coral species, experts found, but branching and table-shaped corals — which provide habitats for fish — were worst affected by mass bleaching (漂白) events in 2016.Warm ocean temperatures are the main reason of coral bleaching. Bleaching doesn’t kill coral immediately, but if temperatures remain high, eventually the coral will die, destroying a natural habitat for many species of ocean life.“We used to think the Great Barrier Reef is protected by its huge size — but in fact our results show that even the world’s largest and ly well-protected reef system is increasingly destroyed and in decline,” Terry Hughes, an outstanding professor at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, said.“There is no time to lose — we must sharply decrease greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible,” the reporter warned in the paper, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society journal.8. What has mainly influenced the coral populations of theGreat Barrier Reef?A. Destroyed habitats.B. Climate change.C. Lack of seafood.D. Bleaching events.9. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many species has been dying out slowly.B. The size of reefs contributes to their protection.C. Ocean ecosystems don’t develop without reefs.D. Bleaching continually disturbs table-shaped corals.10. What attitude does the reporter hold to the present situation of theGreat Barrier Reef?A. Worried.B. Angry.C. Hopeful.D. Surprised.11. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Climate change damages theGreat Barrier ReefB. The Species of ocean Life Are In DangerC. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Get WorseD. Sea Ecosystems Are In DeclineDWhen my friend suggested going to the op shop (二手商店)，instantly I thought “I hope no one I know seesme”. It was the same when my cousin commented on my new furniture and Japanese, fine-bone-china bowls and asked where I got them. They were from the local op shop but instead I said “from the antique shop”.Many people in my Greek-Cypriot community would look down on me if I said I shopped at the op shop. They may pity me, consider me poor, a failure. Immigrants sacrificed their families and homes for a better life. Buying a house and having enough money to live comfortably, to educate your children and see them also live comfortably, are a big part of the immigrant dream, But has this dream made us materialistic at the cost of our own planet?Our love for purchasing the latest trendy clothes or furniture, then donating them when we are tired of them has become normal. I was once like this. But after watching the documentaryThe True CostI learned donated clothes that don’t get sold are sent to developing nations, many of them ending up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). In addition, your new dress requires electricity and materials to make. But if you buy a second-hand dress, that’s one less dress in a landfill and one less new dress to be made.A friend introduced me to op shopping only a few years ago. My firstitem was a dress she gifted me. It was lovely and I loved it. Nobody could tell it was second-hand. This opened me up to purchasing more second-hand high quality branded clothes. Once I visited a friend and was impressed by how she decorated her apartment. “It’s all second-hand,” she said. I couldn’t believe it. The truth is a lot of things sold at the op shop are in new or almost new condition. That’s when I made the decision to only buy second-hand things.Selling second-hand things isn’t anything new butwhat the planet needs is more buyers. There is so much excess (过量) production in the world. So stop feeling ashamed, and let’s get shopping.12. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?A. Pride.B. Embarrassment.C. Delight.D. Sympathy.13. Whatare many people in the author’s community like?A. They are probably materialistic.B. They care about the environment.C. They think highly of op shopping.D. They look down upon immigrants.14. What was the author encouraged to do after visiting her friend’s apartment?A. Watch the documentaryThe True Cost.B. Donate more to local charities.C. Avoid shopping too much.D. Stop buying new things.15. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To entertain.B. To advertise.C. To persuade.D. To describe.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。

The conductor hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. "You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior , "said a middle-aged man."Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company," said a second passenger. "That's right," another lady said, "I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor. "Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said , "Excuse me, but can I know your name, please? Your excellent service must be praised..."Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman's lap interrupted, "I know his name. I call him Dad."36.

Many people begin their day by reading the paper. In this way they learn what is going on in the world. Sometimes, however, they don’t have time to read the news carefully and must be satisfied with a quick look at the front page, at other times, they may be in such a hurry that they have time only for a glance at headlines.In the United States there are newspapers to satisfy all kinds of readers. In big cities there are many types of papers, with several different editions（版本）every day. In the small towns there are fewer newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day. In some areas t he paper is even printed weekly.Another type of publications that help the population know what is happening in the world is magazines. Some magazines are published weekly, others are put out monthly. There are news magazines, and magazines for special interests as sports, photography and music. In the United States, you can find the right thing for every taste and interest.40. In order to know what is happening in the world, .A. people should read the whole newspaper carefullyB. people should read a newspaper as the first thing in the morningC. one should at least have a quick look at the headlinesD. one doesn’t have to read the front page41. In the United States, .A. people read more newspapers than in other countriesB. there are different newspapers even in a small townC. people can read at least one newspaper each weekD. people spend a lot of time reading the Sunday section42. Magazines are .A. weekly or monthly newspapersB. a kind of publicationsC. special reading materials for funD. just like newspapers43. In the first paragrgh the underlined word “glance” probably means .A. quick lookB. quick movementC. angry lookD. unpleasant lookCIn choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend?I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for fa ults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!44. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?A. understanding.B. honesty.C. reliability.D. a sense of humor.45. If you have fair weather friends, ______ .A. they will give you all that they have when you need helpB. you will be refused when you get into troubleC. you will become richD. you can be sure that you get real friends46. Good friends need to ______.A. always point out each other's mistakesB. be helped with moneyC. understand each other's feelingsD. have money or luck47. This passage mainly discuss ______ .A. the qualities of a friendB. where to choose friendsC. how to get along with friendsD. the importance of having a friendDIn Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射)so that they won't carry disease. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people's houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a feeding place for birds in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be that their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely, but pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.48. The passage mainly talks about____ .A. how to keep disease from petsB. pets in CanadaC. how to take good care of petsD. life of the old in Canada49. They give their pets injections before keeping them at their houses because ____.A. the pets are sickB. the pets are wildC. they want to stop them from getting sickD. they want them to sleep on the way home50. In Canada, children leave their parents when they grow up because ____.A. they don't love their parents any moreB. they can only find jobs far from their parentsC. their parents’ houses are too smallD. they wouldn't depend on their parents any more51. Which of the following is TRUE？A. People buy animal food only at the animal food stores.B. Pets eat better than people.C. Almost every family has a birdcage in his house.D. Any bird can come to the bird feeders to eat.E.This year 2,300 teenagers ( young people aged from 13-19 ) from all over the world will spend about tenmonths in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions (印象) of the real American teenagers. American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and have a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In return, George's son, Mike, spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected —much harder. Students rose respectfully (尊敬地) when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The family's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual (个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.“Back home, you pick up s ome friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize (批评) American schools.”he says. “It is far too easy by our level (水准). But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens (市民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”52. The whole exchange program is mainly to ____.A.help teenagers in other countries know the real AmericaB.send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teenagers learn new languages53. What did Fred and Mike agree on?A. American food tasted better than German food.B. German schools were harder than American schools.C. Americans and Germans were both friendly.D. There were more cars on the streets in America.54. What is particular (特别的) in American schools?A. There is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.B. There are a lot of activities after school.C. Students usually take 14 subjects in all.D. Students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.55. What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life?A. A better education should include something good from both America and Germany.B. German schools trained students to be better citizens.C. American schools were not as good as German schools.D. The easy life in the American school was more helpful to students.第Ⅱ卷（共三节，满分35分）第一节：单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）根据首字母或汉语注释写出单词的正确形式，并将答案填写到题中的相应位置。

Some of my neighbors were also struggling for different family matters. I knew I had the ability to do something, while they also had something to offer. I began connecting families so we could care and share things with one another.In February, 2004 we went through all the difficulties to set up a non-profit (非盈利的) organization —Family Support Network. It has been a total volunteer organization since it was founded. There are over200 families in our network now and we’ve received national attention for our effort. Our volunteers have provided over 10,000 hours of help for their neighbors in need. With the help of four volunteers from Microsoft, we are now looking for volunteers from all around the world who are devoted to caring and sharing things with their neighbors. We can contact them either by phone or email.Our Family Support Network is aimed at ordinary people. People are attracted by our effort. We do not advertise, but we try to share the good news we have as much as possible. I was recognized as a giraffe last year for sticking my neck out to make the world a better place. The Associated Press regarded me as a leader in making a better society. John McKnight of Northwest University considered the Family Support Network as a new idea for community (社区) development. We welcome more people to join us. Together we are making a difference to create a kinder and more caring society for our children’s future.51. We can learn from the first paragraph that the author ______.A. worked for the governmentB. had difficulty raising her childrenC. learnt a lot from her neighborsD. had the ability to set up an organization alone52. The volunteers of the Family Support Network have to _________.A. love to care and shareB. be from MicrosoftC. have special abilitiesD. work full-time53. What can we learn about the Family Support Network from the text?A. It was founded only for women.B. It is well-known throughout the country.C. It advertises itself on the Internet.D. It was set up to make money.54. The author was recognized as a giraffe because she _______.A. helped improve the life of giraffesB. cared about the whole worldC. was a great mother and leaderD. has a long and beautiful neckBMy son wanted to hold a party for my birthday. We discussed the invitations and the cost of the party. However, we held very different ideas about whom and how many to be invited. He thought the people we knew had badly disappointed me by not keeping in touch with me since the death of my wife. But my idea of relationships with people was to be friendly to everyone.He said, "Come on, Dad! Where were all these so-called friendly, good people since Mum passed away? They visited us in the past because Mum made good food." I replied, "I am sorry to hear that. Is this the reason why you do not want to invite those people? It’s no wonder you are so unhappy. Can you live alone? Are you teaching your children to do the same in the future?" I asked myself where I went wrong in his upbringing. My wife often blamed me for not paying enough attention to the communication with other people when I was raising our son. I realized at this moment that she was quite right.Hours later, my son phoned to say that he accepted his wife’s advice and agreed to have a party with some of my friends. In the end, we had a great time. And he didn’t "hate" those friends any more. "Happy Birthday, Dad! Sorry that I have kept you away from your friends. I love you." On hearing what he said, I was full of happiness and excitement. I was proud that he could change his mind.55. About the party, the author and his son held very different views on _____.A. whom and how many people to be invitedB. how many people were willing to comeC. how much they were going to spendD. which type of party they were going to hold56. The author thought his son didn’t have a happy life because he _____.A. lived a hard lifeB. taught his children wronglyC. didn’t respect othersD. didn’t value friendship57. What does the underlined word "upbringing" in the second paragraph mean?A. Education.B. Communication.C. Relation.D. Family.58. What can we infer from the text?A.

But farming has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country, which is called New England.New England has many trees and thin, rocky soil. Anyone who has wanted to start a new farm there has had to work very hard. The first job has been cutting down trees. The next job has been digging stumps (树桩) of the trees out of the soil. Then the farmer has had the difficult job of removing stones from his land.The work of removing stones never really ends, because every winter more stones appear. They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below. Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields. Even today, farms which have been worked on for 200 years keep producing more stones.That is why stone walls are used instead of fences around New England fields. The stone walls are not high: A man can easily climb over them. But they keep the farmer’s cows from joining his neighbor’s cows.68.According to the passage, farming is difficult in New England because ______.A. the winter is very long thereB. the farms are very oldC. the soil is rocky and thinD. there are not enough machines for farming69.From this passage, we know the removing of stones ______.A. is usually done during the winterB. must be done again and againC. is an interesting job children enjoy doingD. was more difficult before machines were used70.In New England, stone walls are used to ______.A. keep dangerous beasts outB. keep the farmer’s cows from wandering awayC. protect the farmers fields from thievesD. provide comfortable living conditions for the farmer’s family第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共2题共20分）一．单词拼写（每题一分，共10分）1.
