AHere are some famous romantic places in the world that you can’t miss.ParisThe ranking for the “most romantic city” quite rightly leads to Paris. The city of light has long been famous as a city of love. This is definitely the best place for love, wine and food. Paris is rich with history; you can take a walk through the Louvre, go to a caféacross the Champs Elysees, have dinner at the Eiffel Tower or visit the Palace of Versailles.VeniceUndoubtedly, Venice is the most romantic city of Italy. From the amazing architecture of San Marco Square to the gondolas(贡多拉船) there, Venice talks about love, romance and passion. The best time to visit Venice is during the annual carnival(狂欢节). A gondola trip through the most magical city in Europe remains unforgettable for everyone.ViennaVienna may well be called the cradle of European culture. The baroque architecture, the historic city opera and typical restaurants create a romantic mood and memorable atmosphere. During the ball season in Vienna, one can enjoy the city’s past, the masked waltz and romance.PraguePrague is called the heart of Europe. The city, dating from the 9th century, is indeed a real architectural wonder. Prague’s famous castle is the largest ancient castle in the world, built early in 1257. For a more romantic experience, take your loved ones to the top of the 60-foot observatory and watch the slow sunset over Prague.MaldivesThere are quiet islands, warm, clear water with excellent visibility, a huge amount of reefs and an incredible diversity of marine life. The Maldives is the place to shoot all those beautiful postcard pictures of couples on a desert beach. Most islands are not more than 1 km in area, with makes them particularly suitable for privacy, honeymoons and love.21. The city of light refers to___________.A. ParisB. VeniceC. PragueD. Vienna22. In Vienna, visitors can________________.A. go to the annual carnival.B. admire the typical French architecture.C. see the waltz in the ball season.D. take beautiful pictures of reefs.23. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Vienna is known as the heart of Europe.B. Prague has the largest ancient castle in the world.C. Paris is called the cradle of European culture.D. Most o the islands of the Maldives are more than 1 km in area.BIn Vietnam, two members of a family of street vendors are finding a way to help the poorest students in Hanoi. Pham Minh Dap and his brother are providing the students with mostly free English and Japanese lessons at a learning center they created. The men want to help people who would not normally have a chance to learn a foreign language.Some education experts in Vietnam say such knowledge may help college graduates get jobs. The country’s economy has improved. But many graduates continue to have a hard time finding employment. Local media reported ten percent of university graduates do not have a job.Earlier this year, 24-year-old Pham Minh Dap and his brother established a school they call “Stand By You”. V olunteers teach poor students English and Japanese. Many classes are free. Students with some language knowledge pay 25 to cents per class. Mr. Dap pays about $ 500 to rent the language center space and for other costs. He gives about $ 150 from his earnings as a street Vendor and private language teaching. His brother gives thesame amount from the money he earns as a secretary. Friends provide the rest. Mr. Dap and many of his family members have sold things outside HoaBinh Park in the center of Vietnam’s capital for five years. They come from a village of rice farmers in Thanh Hoa Province.Twenty-four-year-old Pham THi Trang is one of 600 students at the language school. She is finishing her university studies. Her parents work in a market in a village in Ha Nam Province. She says life is hard in the city. She earns about $50 a month from a part-time job, and her parents give her $ 75. But this is not enough to live on. She has said she has to be very careful with money so she can pay her bills.Demand for the school is growing. About 1,000 people are on a waiting list to enter. Ten people have offered to teach for free. And Mr. Dap says he is hoping to raise money to pay for a bigger place. He wants to open more classes.24. “Stand By You” is established____________.A. by the Vietnam governmentB. by a familyC. by a non-profit organizationD. by two brothers25. What can we infer from the passage?A. All the courses provided by “ Stand By You” are free.B. Farmers in Vietnam are very rich.C. “Stand By You” is especially welcomed by the poor students in Vietnam.D. Only ten percent of university graduates in Vietnam are employed.26. Mr. Dap wants to pay for a bigger place because___________.A. he wants to make more money.B. he wants to open more classes for poor students.C. he wants to change his job.D. he wants to provide a wider space for students to play.27. The main idea of the passage is ____________.A. street vendors help the poo r to learn English and Japanese.B. the demand for school is growing in Vietnam.C. free learning of English and Japanese are provided in Vietnam.D. students in Vietnam are very poor.CIs it true that left-handed people are smarter than right-handed people? Chris McManus, professor of psychology and medical education at University College London, responds;“If by intelligent you mean someone who performs better on IQ tests, the simply answer is no. Studies in the U.K., U. S. and Australia have revealed that left-handed people differ from right-handers by only one IQ point, which is not noteworthy.”Left-handedness is, however, much more common among individuals with severe learning difficulties. A slightly higher proportion of left-handers have a stutter(口吃). Other problems, such as a higher rate of accidents reported in left-handers, mostly result from a world designed for the convenience of right-handers, with many tools not made for the left-handed.However, if by smarter you mean more talented in certain areas, left-handers may have an advantage. Left-handers’ brains are structured differently from right-handers’ in ways that can allow them to process language, relations and emotions in more diverse and creative ways. Also, a slightly larger number of left-handers than right-handers are especially gifted in music and maths. A study of musicians in professional orchestras（管弦乐队）found a greater proportion of talented left-handers, even among those who played instruments that seem designed for right-handers, such as violins. Similarly, studies of adolescents who took tests to assess mathematical ability found many more left-handers in the population. The fact that mathematicians are often musical may not be a coincidence.For other talents and skills, the benefits of being left-handed are less clear. In one-on-one competitive sports, being in the minority can be an advantage. For example, most right-handed tennis players have little experience of playing left-handers, but left-handers have plenty of experience of playing right-handers.Whatever the advantages are, handedness seems to be genetic. With 10 percent of people preferring their left hand, there must be some selective advantages, or else the genes would probably not survive.28. The underlined word, “noteworthy”, in the second paragraph, probably means“_______”.A. remarkableB. convincingC. helpfulD. beneficial29. What is one of the characteristics of left-handed people?A. They have a much higher IQ than right-handed people.B. They have an obvious advantage in tennis.C. They are more likely to be talented in certain fields.D. They usually don’t have learning difficulties.30. We can learn________ from the passage.A. right-handers have a higher rate of accidents.B. most right-handed tennis players are good at playing left-handers.C. left-handers can sometimes be more gifted in music and maths than right-handers.D. left-handers’ brains process language in the same way as right-handers’.31. You are most likely to find this passage in the ____________ section of a magazine.A. travel and entertainmentB. gene and health.C. fashion and trendsD. health and lifestyleDNo one-not even its creators-thought that the world would care about the interwoven(相互交织的)lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers. But there’s no doubt that Friends(老友记)has become more than just a successful situation comedy—it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen lead actors famous.Looking back the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and at Greenwich Village’s Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman’s after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other’s lives.It didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The sitcom quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operate like a Broadway show, with twisty plots and unique jokes. The television theme song has also been a success with the public. The song’s success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind---remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay.Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern day US sitcom that is bothhugely entertaining television and nothing short o a genuine latter-day social phenomenon.32. What is stressed in the second paragraph?A. The origin of FriendsB. The role models of FriendsC. The popularity of FriendsD. The brilliance of Friends.33. Which of the following is TRUE about Friends?A. It has a simple but entertaining plot.B. It is about friendship between college students.C. It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly.D. It first came into being in the 1990.34. What can we learn from the passage?A. Producer, Kevin S. Bright, graduated from the same college as David Crane.B. ABC once replaced the theme song of its TV show with a short music introC. The ABC executive thought highly of the theme song of Friends.D. Marta Kauffman expected Friends to achieve great success.35. What might the author think of Friends?A. Its merits outweigh its shortcomings.B. Its success lies in the lack of good sitcoms.C. He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success.D. He/she shows great affection towards it .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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

湖南省雅礼中学2023-2024学年高三上学期月考（一）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解If you want to understand China but can’t afford an expensive international flight, these four books can give you a complete overview of the country.River TownRiver Town: Two Years on the Yangtze by Peter Hessler-This book is a journal of the author’s two years spent teaching English in a small town called Fuling, situated on the banks of the Yangtze River. Hessler writes about his experiences living in a foreign culture and observing the lives of the town’s residents.

The book was first put out in 1990 and has since been revised and updated several times. This book was the top bestseller for years.Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing ChinaWritten by Leslie T. Chang, this book, published in 2008, is reportage on the lives of young women who leave their rural homes to work in factories in China’s cities. Chang, a former New York Times correspondent (someone who is employed by a newspaper or a television station etc. to report news from a particular area or on a particular subject), interviewed hundreds of factory girls to provide insight into the social and economic changes in China.1．What kind of book is River Town?A．Science fiction.B．Nonfiction.C．A travel guide of Fuling.D．A reference book.2．What is TRUE about The Search for Modern China by Jonathan Spence?A．It was published 500 years ago.B．It was written by a history teacher.C．It was very popular.D．It has remained the same since its first publication.3．Which book is written by a reporter?A．River Town.B．Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China.C．The Search for Modern China.D．Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China.Four years ago, Rome Leykin was on his way to work when he accidentally fell onto the tracks of Brooklyn's L train as a subway was approaching. The incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs.But surprisingly, with the loss of his legs, Leykin gained a new passion for racing. Before his accident, he wasn't really that athletic. He would just occasionally play basketball. But that all changed after he was introduced to hand cycling. “When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.’” he said. “So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away.”Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour. a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38.“I'm going to attend this year's marathon and take on challenges. My hands are on the wheel, my eyes are focused, and I think my time is going to speak for itself.” he said. He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym.And he plans to keep pursuing his athlete goals. He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics.For those who might be following his journey, he hopes they will take some lessons from his story. “There will be ups and downs but the trend is what's important. Focus on the good,” he said. “And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. Andthen all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins.”4．What can we learn about Rome Leykin from paragraph 2?A．He once was an excellent basketball player.B．He considered hand cycling difficult in the beginning.C．He made hand cycling more popular among the disabled.D．He showed an interest in hand cycling the moment he saw it.5．How did Rome Leykin feel about the coming marathon?A．Worried.B．Curious.C．Confident.D．Nervous. 6．Which of the following can best describe Rome Leykin?A．Easy-going and reliable.B．Kind-hearted and helpful.C．Open-minded and creative.D．Strong-willed and ambitious. 7．What message does Rome Leykin convey in the last paragraph?A．Stick to your dreams.B．Break down your goals.C．Focus on your strengths.D．Achieve success at all costs.Around the Sahara Desert, daytime temperatures can reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Centigrade). Not many organisms can survive in this severe environment. But anprotected nests to gather up the bodies of less fortunate insects that have died from the heat.“The hotter the day, the more insect bodies they will find and the more food they have.”says Sarah Pfeffer, an animal behaviorist at Ulm University in Germany. She says that to avoid sinking into the Saharan sand, where they could meet the same fate as their lunch, silver ants have to be fast.To document just how quickly the ants move, Pfeffer and her colleagues set up high-speed cameras above a channel between the entrance to the hungry ants' nest and a food source. The researchers recorded top speeds approaching 35 inches per second.“But if you really know how big the animals are, and you calculate the body length per second, you come up with a walking speed that is an astonishing 108 body lengths per second.” That figure makes them the fastest known ant on the planet.The videos revealed how the ants achieve such great speeds. As they accelerate. their leg movements become synchronized (同步的). They increase their step length by bringing all six feet off the sand at once. “Really, all legs are lifted from the ground. They are in air, butit's not jumping. It's a very smooth run that they have” says Pfeffer.Pfeffer says they're faster than a closely related ant species called Cataglyphis fortis, which has longer legs but a less impressive airborne phase (腾空阶段). That ant only reaches about 24 inches per second, or two thirds of the silver ant's maximum.The Saharan silver ants' rapid speeds may be impressive, but two insects are even Laster: the California coastal mite and the Australian tiger beetle, both of which also thrive at life-threatening temperatures. Seems that to beat the heat, it pays to be fleet.8．The underlined word "thrives" in the first paragraph probably means “________”.A．becomes extinct B．moves away C．gets weaker D．livessuccessfully9．What can we learn about Saharan silver ants from the passage?A．They sometimes die from the heat.B．They are the fastest known animals on the planet.C．Their leg movements become synchronized when they speed up.D．They move faster than the California coastal mite and the Australian tiger beetle. 10．What does the author want to explain by wing the example of the Cauliform Cresta mile?A．It's important to be fast in an extreme condition.B．Not many organisms can survive in a severe environment.C．The animal has a less impressive speed than the Saharan silver ant.D．Saharan silver ants gather up the bodies of the California coastal mites. 11．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Animals Survive in Extreme Hot B．The Fastest Known Beetle on the Planet C．Fleet Ant Beats Saharan Heat D．Ants Increase Step Length by JumpingResearchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst) recently announced that they have figured out how to engineer a biofilm (生物膜) that harvests the energy in evaporation (蒸发) and changes it to electricity. This biofilm, which was announced in Nature Communications, has the potential to revolutionize the world of wearable electronics, powering everything from personal medical sensors to personal electronics.“This is a very exciting technology,” says Liu Xiaomeng, graduate student in electrical and computer engineering in UMass Amherst’s College of Engineering and the paper’s lead author. “It generates real green energy, and unlike other so-called ‘green-energy’ sources, itsproduction is totally green.”That’s because this biofilm-which is a sheet of bacterial cells and as thin as a sheet of paper-is produced naturally by an, engineered version of the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens (硫还原地杆菌). G. sulfurreducens is known to produce electricity and has been used previously in “microbial batteries” to power electrical equipment. But such batteries require that G. sulfurreducens be properly cared for and fed a constant diet. By contrast, this new biofilm, which can supply as much energy as a comparably sized battery, works continuously, because it is dead. And because it’s dead, it doesn’t need to be fed.The secret behind this new biofilm is that it makes energy from the moisture (水分) on your skin. Though we daily read stories about solar power, at least 50% of the solar energy reaching the earth goes toward evaporating water. “This is a huge, undiscovered source of energy,” says Yao Jun, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UMass Amherst, and the paper’s one senior author. Since the surface of our skin is constantly moist with sweat, the biofilm can “plug into” it and change the energy locked in evaporation into enough energy to power small equipment. “Our next step is to increase the size of our film to power more intelligent wearable electronics,” says Yao, and Liu points out that one of the goals is to power entire electronic systems, rather than single equipment.12．What function is the biofilm expected to achieve?A．Updating wearable electronics.B．Acquiring power from evaporation.C．Changing the way of getting electricity.D．Supplying energy to “microbialbatteries”.13．What is the advantage of the biofilm compared with “microbial batteries”?A．It’s thinner in thickness.B．It’s environmentally friendly.C．It reduces the cost in usage.D．It employs a rare energy source. 14．How does the biofilm power small devices?A．By interacting with solar power.B．By gaining energy from electronicsystems.C．By using water to generate electricity.D．By producing continuous electricity from sweat.15．Which of the following best describes the biofilm?A．Flexible.B．Controversial.C．Promising.D．Delicate.二、七选五You Are a Better Person Than You Think You AreMaybe you haven’t achieved goals in a self-appointed time frame. 16 But this doesn’t mean you are a bad person or a failure. You could indeed be a wonderful individual. You could actually be a much better person than you believe you are. So, let’s examine the idea that you might be better than you think.You show kindnessBeing polite and kind is the mark of a good person. When you do this, you are treating others like you would want to be treated. 17 Even the smallest of things do not go unnoticed and are traits that you have a good heart.You are a positive personKeeping an optimistic attitude is also a trait of a good person with a powerful character. It is easy to become negative with all the bad things going on in the world, but there’s another way to look at these things. When you’re actually better than you think, you will have the habit of looking on the bright side of every situation and seeing the best in everyone. 1819Being wise is not about being intelligent. It’s about learning from life experiences. Why does this make you a better person than you think? Wisdom can be passed to others to help them avoid the same mistakes you made. You are a good person if you’ve collected wisdom and love to share lessons with others.So, go easy on yourself. Appreciate who you are. If there are things you need to change, that’s okay. 20 It’s about our attitude and our heart. I bet, if you took the time to read this, you are a better person than you think.A．You give honest comments.B．It’s just all about showing optimism.C．We all have problems and imperfections.D．You are wise, and you share your wisdom.E．Maybe you have made many mistakes as well.F．Respecting others and their space shows adulthood, which is a sign of a truly good person.G．This may include opening doors for others or picking up change for people in front ofyou at the checkout line.三、完形填空I manage a financial department.

eight-week-old schnauzer（德国髥狗）, to heip easethe loss of our daughter．Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next fourteen years．It seemednothing that happened could ever 36 that．At one point, my husband and I decided to 37 from our New York apartment to a new home in New Jersey．After we were there a while, our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked us if we would like one．We were a little worried about Sam's 38 and how he would handle his turf （地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it and agreed to take a kitten．We picked a little, gray．playful ball of fur．It was like having a roadrunner in the house．-She raced around 39 imaginary mice and squirrels and vaulted from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning．At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and _40_ their distance．But slowly, as the days went on．Lightning started following Sam—up the stairs, down the stairs- into the kitchen to watch him eat．into the living room to watch him sleep．As time passed, they became inseparable．When they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other．When I played with one．the other 41 ．If Sam barked at something．Lightning ran to see what it was．When I took either one out of the house, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned．That was the way it was for years．Then, without any warning．Sam began suffering from convulsions（抽搐）and was diagnosed as having a weak heart．I had no other choice but to have him put down．The pain of making that 42 , however, was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to leave Sam at the vet （兽医诊所）and walk into our house alone．This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to 43 why she would never see her friend again．In the days that followed．Lightning seemed 44 She could not tell me in words that she was suffering, but I could see the pain and disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog 45 ．The weeks wore on and the cat's 46 seemed to be, lifting．One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to glance down on the floor next to our sofa where we had a sculptured replica （复制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years before．Lying next to the statue, one arm wrapped around the statue's neck, was Lightning, 47

Hopping Carrot Hunt．B．Mushroom Madness．C．Rudolph's Kick and Fly．D．Click Flick．BMovie magic can defy reality, but actors are inescapably human．They grow and change, and don’t necessarily change for the better．Harry Potter actors, who are now saying their final goodbyes to their roles, have all become fully-fledged grown-ups, worlds apart from the little kids who began the Hogwarts' adventures in 2001．While many fans feel sad that the magical franchise is coining to an end, some feel even sadder to seehow much the actors have changed over the years．"Daniel Radcliffe （who plays Harry Potter）went from being a really cute kid to a thin, pale-looking guy," said Filipino Internet User lealuvy2j．26．"I kind of wish he stayed a kid forever．''Radcliffe himself doesn't seem to be bothered by his change of appearance．In an interview with GQ magazine last week, he teased himself: "If people find me sexy or cool, it's because they like short, little, nerdy guys．And we do have our niche．"Meanwhile, actors growing up to be handsome have their headaches．Harry Melling, who played Potter's cousin Dudley Dursley, told The Telegraph that he was almost recast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when producers discovered he' d lost a lot of weight he had as a kid．He was too thin for the part．"They （the producers）did this double take, 'Oh my God, we are going to have to do something’, and I felt guilty," said Meiling．Aside from changes in looks, the gradual personality change of child stars is another big concern of audience and producers．Miley Cyrus began her career at 13 in Disney's hit TV series Hannah Montana．When Cyrus decided to show her adult personality by releasing "sexy" photos, people began to get uneasy about her．Reports had it that furious Disney bosses were considering replacing Cyrus with a more clean-cut teen star．Cyrus finally kept her role after public apologies．But some parents banned their children watching the show．"My daughter has been banned from watching the show," supermodel Cindy Crawford told ShowbizSpy．"I really don't think Miley Cyrus is much of a role model for my kid．"6l．The underlined word "defy" in Paragraph 1 means "_____"-A．control B．challenge C．clarify D．abandon62．Which one is TRUE according to the passage?A．Actors always grow and change for the better．B．Some fans feel sad about the ending of the film series and the actors' changes．C．Daniel Radcliffe can't escape from being a kid．D．Harry Melling was too thin to recast for the film．63．Radcliffe doesn't feel bothered by his change of appearance because _____．A．people think him sexy or coolB．people like short, little, nerdy guysC．he thinks he grows up to be handsomeD．some people do think such a boy as him is sexy64．What do audience and producers concern about?A．The actors' changes in appearances and gradual personality．B．The actors' weight．C．Whether the producers did the double take.D．Whether the actors are sexy or clean-cut．65．We can infer that _____ from the story of Miley Cyrus．A．Miley Cyrus decided to change her sexy adult personality later onB．Disney bosses prefer pure teen stars to sexy adults in their moviesC．parents prevented their children from watching her showD．Cindy Crawford is a supermodel, who has a daughterCToday, the world is rapidly urbanizing．With half of the world population expected to live in cities by the early part of the 21st century, the Shanghai 2010 World Expo's focus on a better city bears profound meaning．What might future cities look like 28 years from now? Here are some scenarios: things to come, things to go．Zero wasteWaste disposal is one of the biggest headaches for cities．Apart from recyclable waste, everything is buried or incinerated, only to pollute the environment．Plastic waste remains underground for several decades．The world produces much more garbage that it can dispose of．Now at the Expo, all waste is delivered to a compression station where the waste is sorted, filtered, decontaminated, deodorized and compressed before finally being disposed of at designated spots．In Beijing, people living in the Asuwei area turn their household waste into organic fertilizers which are used to grow plants at residence communities．No more transportation problems during Spring FestivalThe Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese．More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making obtaining travel tickets and the journey difficult．But in 28 years．Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all．China plans to have more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a rapid transportation network that will serve 90 percent of the population by 2020．And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so migration will no longer be so large-scale．Newspapers to disappearAmerican scholar Philip Meyer predicts that newspaper will come to an end in 2043．Utagawa Reizou, former editor-in-chief of The Mainichi Daily News．believes that the newspaper will be gone in 2030．This kind of prediction may worry those in print news business．In the U．K．, the circulations of national newspapers are declining．Major Japanese newspapers have gone intodebt．In the U．S．, decliningcirculations and ad revenues have forced several newspapers to stop printing paper editions．Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch thinks the future of media relies on interaction through the Internet．In the future, digital newspapers will be sent to portal web terminals through wirelessly．Readers can discuss issues with journalists and editors．Information will move faster．Oil to run outIn August 2009, Fatih Birol, chief economist of the International Energy Agency, said that oil is running out faster than expected and that the world will likely feel the tightness in supply in the next five years．Scientists have found substitutes for oil as fuel．Coal．natural gas．solar power, nuclear power and even water can replace oil as sources of energy．Flammable ice reserves alone can support humans for the next 1,000 years．66．By now, the world population in cities has grown to about _____．A．6．9 billion B．0．75 billion 'C．3．5 billion D．1．3 billion67．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Everything buried or incinerated, besides recyclable waste, pollutes the environment．B．People deal with their household waste in an environmental-friendly way in the Asuwei area, Beijing．C．More than 2 billion people suffer from headaches during the Spring Festival in China．D．By 2020,90 percent of the population will have to go to other places to find a job．68．According to the American predictor Philip Meyer, what will happen in 2043?A．Newspaper will disappear．B．Japan has to stop printing newspaper．C．Digital newspaper will be sent to portal web terminals．D．Information will move faster．69．_____ can replace oil as sources of energy in the future．A．Coal and natural gas B．Solar power and nuclear powerC．Water and flammable ice reserves D．All the above70．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．The Shanghai 2010 World Expo B．What will city life be like in 28 yearsC．A rapidly urbanizing world D．Things to come, things to goPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.A bicycle helmet is a helmet intended to be worn while riding a bicycle．They are designed to reduce impacts to the skull of a cyclist in falls．However, there is a debate on whether helmets are useful for road cyclists．The World Health Organization promote the use of helmets as a strategy for preventing people' s heads from being injured by bicycle crashes or falls．Use of cycling helmets is supported by numerous groups in the United States．U．S．-based cycling activist John Forester suggests that helmet wearing could prevent 300 deaths a year in the U．S．out of a total of 1530 preventable deaths．Public Health Law Research reports that there is enough evidence to establish that bicycle helmet laws are an effective public health intervention（干涉）aimed to reduce the number ofhead-related deaths．Received opinion in some countries is that bicycle helmets are useful and that every cyclist should wear one．Professional bodies elsewhere have agreed, such as the Swiss Council for Accident Prevention．Mayer Hillman, a transport and road safety analyst from the UK, does not support the use of helmets, reasoning that they are of very limited value in the event of a collision with a car．He compares it to drawing conclusions on whether it is worthwhile to buy lottery tickets．Cyclists' representative groups complain that focus on helmets diverts attention from other issues which are much more important for improving bicycle safety, such as road danger reduction．The UK's largest cyclists' organization, the CTC, believes that the "overall health effects of compulsory helmets are negative．" The same report estimated that universal helmet use would save the life of one child aged 0 to 15 each year．Up to now, the debate is with no consensus, but an organization has published a review of studies in 2011, saying there is a good deal of evidence that those wearing a helmet are more likely to crash than bareheaded cyclists．Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.I've seen people do all kinds of things to relieve anxiety．Some have a glass of wine at dinner．Others shop or eat．But these are troubling times ?with hurricanes, tsunamis, war, and acts of terrorism —and if drinking, eating, or hitting the mall is your way offending off anxiety over the state of the world, you should know that the bill will eventually come due．And I don't mean just the credit card statement．Such coping methods do nothing to build your inner strength and resiliency （ability to recover quickly from difficult conditions）．Fortunately, there are ways to nurture （encourage the growth or development of）true inner peace when outer peace isn't an option．A few months ago, a woman I'll call Nancy attended one of my seminars．Nancy had been through hard times; Three years earlier her house had burned down; then her husband's National Guard unit shipped out to Iraq, and when he returned he was angry, depressed, and shocked．The couple got treatment yet grew further apart until, finally, her husband asked for a divorce．Nancy realizedshe had a choice: She could drown in self-pity or move forward．After seeing how the trauma （emotional shock）of war had torn up her husband, she wanted to make a difference with her life．So, at 35, she enrolled （officially register as amember）in nursing school．I think even Nancy was surprised by her resilience．But her leap into a life of greater meaning came from a simple change in outlook．She shifted her focus from her own problems to the difficulties of others．And that one change brought her clarity and peace．This time of global uncertainty challenges each of us to create our own sense of security．That doesn't mean you need to follow Nancy's lead into a nursing career, but keeping an eye on what really matters will help you maintain your balance when things around you seem to fall apart．81．List at least three common coping methods when people come down with anxiety．（No more than 7 words）________________________________82．How did Nancy's husband feel when he returned? （No more than 6 words）________________________________83．What choice did Nancy make after her husband asked for a divorce? （No more than 13 words）________________________________84．How should we relieve our anxiety according to the writer? （No more than 15 words）________________________________Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.请按如下要求完成一篇短文。
湖南省长沙市雅礼中学2024届高三上学期第一次月考试题+语文+Word版含答案
英才大联考雅礼中学2024届高三月考试卷(一)语文得分: 本试卷共四道大题，23道小题，满分150分。
时量150分钟。
一、现代文阅读(35分)(一)现代文阅读Ⅰ(本题共5 小题，19分)阅读下面的文字，完成1~5题。
①谢赫提出的“气韵生动，骨法用笔，应物象形，经营位置，传移模写，随类赋彩”成为指导中国绘画技法理论的经典。
其中对“随类赋彩”，理论家、画家有不同理解，但把“类”字解释为“物象的固有色”者，使“随类赋彩”成了幼稚的、简单的色彩赋色方法；把“类”字解释为“类型”“类似”者，让“随类赋彩”成为当今中国绘画色彩理论的经典训条。
也有学者在解释“随类赋彩”时模棱两可，含糊推诿过去。
因此弄清其真正含义，既是对上千年中国绘画色彩理论的正本清源，也对当下中国绘画色彩理论的发展与实践具有指导意义。
②我们对“随类赋彩”的理解要完整、客观。
谢赫“六法”是一个有机整体，“气韵生动”是品画的最高美学原则，谢赫把它视为“六法”之本，其他“五法”是达到“气龄生动”的必要条件。
③“气韵生动”指的是一幅画面给人的整体感觉，要感人、生动。
“骨法用笔”即中国画笔法、线条的运用。
它是表达画家思想、个性、意念的手段，不是客观事物的复制和翻版。
“应物象形”以“骨法用笔”的线条为依托，筑就中国画的气色容貌。
“经营位置”是指构图需要画家有强烈的主观意识来取舍、布局、调置。
“传移模写”就是师法自然，自自然取得灵感。
在“六法”指导思想下的“随类赋彩”作为一个完整而带有指导地位的法则被提出来之后，它的内涵就不仅仅是写实意义和描摹自然物象的外在色彩，更是主张画家主观意念与客观相结合，从属于“气韵生动”的一种表现方法。
这样，中国绘画减弱了对自然色彩的依附，渐渐出现了从重彩到淡彩、浅绛直至水墨画的重墨轻色。
④另外，古代中国画的颜料受当时生产技术和条件的局限及交通运输的不便，颜料的获取只能因陋就简。
画家只能用简单的、接近的、类似于物象色彩的颜料去表现他们眼中所看到的物象色彩，有时找不到或调不出眼中所见到的色彩，只好凭主观情感去用色。

He was alone in the mountains of Iran; nobody knows how he got there.When the exhausted Polish soldiers came upon Wojtek, they were immediately struck with emotions. They had been away from their loved ones for a long time. They needed something to pick their spirits up. So, they nursed the baby bear with milk from a bottle and named him Wojtek, which means: a warrior to whom fighting brings joy.Wojtek was officially adopted into the army. He traveled with the army to the Middle East, providing comradery and entertainment. He would wrestle with the men, chase after oranges they cast for him and follow them about like a puppy. He became their connection to humanity in a time when the light of peace seemed so far away. And, like a child, he was also playful. In the desert heat, he learned how to break into the showers and turn on the water. He could also be seen pulling trunks of empty gun shells with the men or standing at attention in formation. Wojtek was also the chief frightener of new members: He would literally bear hug them and hold them upside down for a good laugh.Getting through the hardship of war takes something extraordinary, something unexpectedly dangerous to preserve your mental state. That’s what Wojtek did for the men who had been so long in the fog and uncertainty of World War II. A playful bear became the symbol of strength and adaptability. Thankfully, wars ended but Wojtek was not forgotten. He was shipped with a group of men to a farm in Scotland, which was a fitting place to retire for a bear with so much military experience. Wojtek was a local celebrity. Stories of him kicking a soccer ball, attending local dances and parties, and enjoying jam and honey are still told today. And to everyone who knew him, Wojtek was the one that made a difficult time a little more bearable.4. How did the Polish soldiers react after they found the bear?A．They were hit by the bear. B．They accepted him and fed him.C．They called Wojtek names. D．They brought joy to him like warriors.5. Which of the following is TRUE about Wojtek’ s experience in the army?A．He would run after and eat up the oranges thrown by the soldiers.B．He could pull branches with the soldiers to the army camp.C．He would stand and listen attentively for information.D．He would play tricks on those newly-joined soldiers.6. What happened to Wojtek after World War II?A．He became famous and brought joy to the locals in a farm in Scotland.B．He settled down with the Polish army in a farm in Scotland.C．He enjoyed his life in another army in a farm in Scotland.D．He was shipped to his hometown with the help of the Polish soldiers.7. What is the best title of the passage?A．Wojtek: The Wild Warrior in the Desert StormB．Wojtek: From the Frontlines to a Hairy FriendC．Bearing Witness: The Remarkable Tale of the Polish ArmyD．A Lifelong Bear Friend with the Scottish LocalsPowerful demand for Huawei products is fueling investor interest in the shares of its suppliers, which have resisted declines in the broader mainland Chinese stock (股票) market.Expectations that the Chinese technology company may continue to see strong sales for recently launched products are sending stocks of some of Huawei’s suppliers to record highs.Analysts say the successful launch of the M7 car model by Huawei-backed electric-vehicle brand Aito could see order books continue to swell, based on the response to the launch during a national holiday known as the Golden Week.Shares of Seres Group, an Aito partner, and Ningbo Shenglong Automotive Powertrain System, a car-parts manufacturer, have risen by the 10% daily limit on the Shanghai Stock Exchange this week since the mainland markets reopened for trading after the holiday.

By contrast, the technology-heavy Shenzhen Stock Exchange closed down 0.4% Tuesday. “We sense that investor interest in the smartphone supply chain has increased after iPhone and Mate 60 launch and anticipation of smartphone demand bottoming, “ Citigro up analyst Kyna Wong saidin a note after the bank’s recent meeting with institutional investors, about China’s tech sector. “Huawei’s return could have implications on market share and competition in the tech-hardware sector,” Wong said.“Component make rs could benefit from restarting spec (规格) upgrade and operating leverage (运营杠杆) from volume growth ( regardless of market-share shift), “ Wong said.8.

It may seem like they have consciously copied you, but it is much more likely that it is the chameleon (变色龙) effect at play.The chameleon effect is the unconscious imitation of another person’s gestures or behavior. Just as a chameleon attempts to match any environment’s colors, people acquire the behavior of others to bring them closer together and help make their interactions smooth.The chameleon effect was confirmed in an experiment by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand in 1999. The part of their experiment included 78 people, who each spoke with an experimenter. During the test, Bargh and Chartrand studied whether participants would copy the actions of someone they hadn’t met before, like moving the foot and touching the face. The second part measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being imitated.In the first stage, participants increased their face touching by 20% and their foot movement by 50% while in conversation about a photograph with the experimenter. The individuals weren’t aware of what they were being studied for, and the photograph was used to catch their attention to insure unconscious acts. The second stage involved half of the participants being copied, and then rating the likability of the experimenter. The results, showed that those who were imitated scored the experimenter higher. It has shown that when someone copies our behavior, we develop more positive feelings about them. These interactions could be a person unconsciously willing to be liked, and forming a moment of connection.The main reasons behind humans’ imitation are positive. However, when people carry this chameleon effect to the extreme, they can lose their sense of self. Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go undetected. But more common signs of the chameleon effect are easier to notice. Next time you are in a social gathering, take a look around and you might just see some chameleons for yourself.12. Why do people imitate others’ behavior?A．To show admiration for others. B．To adapt to the surroundings.C．To establish a connection with others. D．To attract others’ attention.13. How did the experimenter guarantee participants’ unconscious behaviors?A．By directing their attention to a photo. B．By keeping an eye on their actions.C．By telling them the purpose of the study. D．By evaluating the impacts of imitation. 14. What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment?A．People tend to like those who imitate their behavior.B．Too much of the chameleon effect can be beneficial.C．People imitating others are not easy to be detected.D．The copied movements help people to feel relaxed.15. Which of the following shows the chameleon effect according to the passage?A．Students adopt teachers’ accents for fun after class.B．People change their habits to please others on purpose.C．A comedian copies a celebrity vividly on stage.D．A husband and his wife share similar behaviors over time.Humankind has tried to improve its standard of living since the very beginning of civilization. Back then, as well as today, providing food and security was the basic task for a person. 16 People feel the need for not only some primary things, such as a piece of bread and a roof over their heads, but also for various facilities and luxuries. Providing humanity with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy. The problem is that the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution, so economic growth is almost inevitably associated with environmental damage.17 One of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, the construction of large industrial plants is required. These plants produce a lot of waste, leading to the pollution of water and the atmosphere, which may cause negative long-term health effects to nearby populations of animals, or people.Industrial manufacturing leads to the constantly increasing energy consumption. 18 There also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energy. They are sometimes preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires time, during which people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakings. 19 This is expensive and has harmful effects on the environment. For example, application of wind energy would block airflows’ natural speed, which is the reason for their decrease in strength, after crossing the windmill. 20 And it is important to remember that the environment and weather conditions are directly affected by atmospheric pressure.For these reasons, bringing about economic growth without resulting in any environmental damage is impossible.Yesterday, after arriving in Madrid, I knocked on a stranger’s door. “I searched on the website. Will you give me ______?” I asked. This was the reason I’d come to Spain, because I once believed I______ be a female flamenco (弗拉门戈) guitarist and I have a mission now.Forty-five years ago, when I was two, my father also came to Madrid and knocked on strangers’ doors. As a well-known classical guitarist, he admired flamenco a lot, and in Spain he learned fromanyone willing to teach him. He ______ performers in bars, made friends with street ______ and managed to study with Paco de Lucia, the greatest flamenco guitarist of our time.I started playing classical guitar when I was five. My father s hands ______ across the strings like fireworks. I practiced while he ______ and criticized. I played till I had ______ pain in my fingertips. By age seven, I was called a child genius.Then, at 11, I quit. Heartbroken, my father ______ himself. Guiltily, I followed suit. Soon we spoke only when necessary. Our relationship didn’t ______ until, in my early 20s, I found myself pulled back to guitar.When I was in my early 30s, he died. I couldn’t bear to play his guitar. He’d spent so much time with his arms around that instrument, and it seemed a(n) ______ of his own body. Holding it gave my grief an unbearable tangibility (有形性)。
