高三年级英语第一次质量检测试卷英语第一部分阅读理解(共两节, 满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分, 满分30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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Check out some of the 21" century's most amazing adventurers!Amazon adventurerEd Stafford from the UK is the first person to walk the length of the Amazon River. The Amazon rainforest is home to poisonous snakes and crocodiles(鳄鱼)，s0 Ed was in constant danger. Luckily, he survived. Ed used the media interest in his trip to protest about the destruction of the rainforest and raise money for environmental and children's charities in Brazil and Peru.A mountain climberGerlinde Kaltenbrunner from' Austria fell in love with mountain climbing as a teenager.Having climbed Mount Qomolangma, she decided to climb all fourteen of the world's 8 ,000 metre peaks. To increase the challenge，Gerlinde climbs without using oxygen tanks. This is risky as low oxygen levels at the top of high mountains can affect brain and body functioning. Gerlinde uses her fame as a climber to support a charity for poor children and orphans (孤儿) in Nepal,Hungry for adventureMeagan McGrath from Canada has climbed the highest mountain on each continent, ridden a bike across Canada and run a long distance race in the Sahara Desert in 45Cheat. But perhaps her most remarkable journey was a skiing trip to the South Pole.Erik Weihenmayer from the United States is another muti-adventurer. He's ridden a bike through some deserts, kayaked( 坐爱斯基摩划子航行) through the Grand Canyon and climbed Mount Qomolangma. Amazingly, Erik has been blind since the age of i3. Apart from his travels,he tries to encourage people with disabilities to live active lives.21. What do Ed Safford and Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner have in common?A They are both climbing lovers.B. They help children in need,C. They are both muti- adventurers.D. They like various adventure challenges,22.Where did Megan MeGrath ever explore?A. In Grand Canyon.B. In a mountain in Nepal.C. In a desert in Africa.D. In the Amazon rainforest.23. What is special about Erik Weihenmayer?A. He is disabled.B. He is very old.e. He is an orphan.D. He is a skiing lover.BSomething strange is happening to the birds of Gilbert, Minnesota. In recent days, they have been flying dangerously close to windows and cars, and generally seem to be confused. The causer of this behavior is one that might be familiar to some humans.Gilbert police, who have been releasing reports of close contact with such birds, took to Facebook to explain that the animals have been feasting on fermented (已发酵的) berries, which is making them“a little drunk". An early frost this year sped up the fermentation process, police said. As James Owen explained in a 2014 piece for National Geographic, freezing causes berries to turn starches (淀粉) into sugars, and when the temperature rises, "it is possible for yeast (酵母) to get in the berries"，which expedites fermentation,It's not unusual for berries to begin that process in late winter and early spring, but, this year, because the Minnesota frost occurred before birds in the area moved to south, their drunken behavior has been particularly noticeable to Gilbert people.Older birds are most likely to be conscious after elating the berries, but young birds may suffer more because their livers (肝) have not grown large enough to handle the alcohol.Gilbert police assure people there that there is “no need to contact the police about these birds as they should become normal within a short period)of time" . Police did note, however, that witnesses should be in touch if they saw“Big bird operating a motor vehicle in an unsafe manner"or other very strange behavior risking humans.While the authorities are clearly laughing, there is a reason to be concerned about the birds.If they can't fly properly or keep their balance, affected birds are at risk of crashing into hard surface. In 2012, for instance, several groups of cedar waxwings (雪松太平鸟) crashed into solid objects like windows and fences in California and died. The unfortunate animals had stuffed themselves with overripe berries of the Brailian Pepper Tree.24. What does the underlined word expedite" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Cuts down.B. Tums into.C. Speeds up.D. Takes up.25.What do we know about young birds compared to older ones?A. They have much better livers.B. They feed on more such berries.C. They get affected more by the berries.D.They are likely to move to south later.26. What causes the birds' drunken behavior more serious this year?A. The sugarsB. The weatherC. Their liversD. The human being.27. What does the example of several groups of cedar waxwings show?A. The locals should help such birds,B. Such birds can be very aggressive.C. The authorities are wrong about the birds,D. Such birds may put themselves in danger.\CWhat could be better than enjoying the amazing water views aboard a comfortable cruise (巡航) ship? How about floating leisurely across the skies inside an airship that promises a bird's eye view of our planet!? If the British Aerospace firm Hybrid Air Vehicles (HA V) has its way, you will soon not only be floating in the clouds but also heading for remote and unexplored destinations.Measuring 299 foot long一about 60 feet longer than the world's largest passenger plane, the A380 -- the hybrid vehicle Airlander 10 is the combination of an aircraft and an airship.The eco-friendly vehicle can float in the skies for up to two weeks at a time when unmanned,and five days with a crew on board.While similar to the Zeppelin, whose first fight took place in 1900 over Lake Constance一three years before the Wright brothers did their historic fight 一it is not dangerous. That's because the Zeppelin was kept afloat by hydrogen (氢)，which may explode if exploded to even relatively low levels of oxygen. Helium(氮)，which is very stable in its ground sate, does not catch fire easily.HA V first wanted to use Airlander 10 to transport cargo (货物). However, on July 18,2018,at the Farnborough International Airshow in Hampshire, UK, the company told plans of a more fun, tourist-focused Airlander 10.The airship will feature large bedrooms that are like those of a five-star hotel and a big bar where guests will be able to enjoy fine dining and drinks. The highlight will be the Infinity Lounge, which will have both a glass ceiling and floor, promising guests breathtaking 36-degee views. The airship's “slow" speed of 92 mph will allow up to 19 guests passengers to completely enjoy the experience.28. What do we know about the vehicle Airlander 10?A. I's the world's largest passenger plane.B. It has the features of an aircraft and an airship.C. It mainly goes to remote and unexplored places.D. It can float for two weeks continuously when-manned29 What does the author mainly want to yell about Airlander 10 in Paragraph 3?A.It is very advanced.B. It is quite safe.C. It has a long history.D. It needs improvement.30. What will be the highlight of Airlander 10?A. It will fly at a low speed.B. It can hold 19 guests for one trip.C. It will offer well-quipped bedrooms.D. It will give guests impressive views.31. What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To advertise a five-day trip.B. To introduce HA V's program.C. To compare an airship with a plane.D. To tell readers about a special vehicle.DUiah Lake is disgusting, and it is our fault. The State has worked with many partners and spent millions of dollars in an attempt to restore ( 修复) Utah Lake. It indeed produced some active effects. However, due to the waste water getting into it, this body of water is nutrient rich and hone to algae (水藻) blooms. Overfishing and the introduction of invasive species have only made the problem worse. In 2016, 500 people in Utah complained their discomfort after swimming in the lake.The Utah Lake Restoration Project, headed by Parker and his brother Benjamin, imagines a beautiful lake dotted with man -made islands where a thriving (繁荣的) community could be built. Parker has frequented Capitol Hill pushing for H. B. 272, a Utah Lake amendment (修正案) which calls for extensive lake digging, the creation of islands，the removal of invasive species and the restoration of native plants, fish and so on like his project.Ben Holcomb, a lake specialist，believes Parker's plan is“a bit stretched (有弹力的) for truth. ”Despite impressive computer models and the current project report, the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the actual field research to show that this project will have a positive impact on the lake's ecosystem, or to promise the islands will be stable.When asked how the public would help beautify the Utah Lake, the lake's official workers suggested picking up garbage and witting representatives. However, these have a greatly limited impact on the overall health of the lake. Parker's plan may seem like our state's best chance to restore Utah Lake, but the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the facts necessary for this sort of proposal. The state of Utah should offer the Utah Lake Restoration Project the access necessary to conducted research which could be compared with their theoretical findings.Only then can the State of Utah make an educated decision on behalf of her people and resources.32. What can be learned about Utah Lake in Paragraph 1?A. I's too late to save Utah Lake.B. The locals welcome new species.C. The pollution isn't given enough attention.D. The government's effort is far from satisfactory.33.What doss the Utah Lake Restoration Project try to achieve?A. Making Utah Lake nutrient rich.B. Making impressive computer models.C. Building a community near Utah Lake.D. Building a sale home for native creatures.34. What does Ben Holcomb think of the Utah Lake Restoration Project?A. Acceptable.B. Dependable.C. Unpractical.D. Unimportant.35. What docs the author intend to tell us in the last Paragraph?A. The locals are to blame.B. There's a long way to save Utah Lake.C. Parker's project should come to an end.D. The government should start the project soon.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人空白处的最佳选项。

2020年许昌市高级中学高三英语一模试卷及答案

2020年许昌市高级中学高三英语一模试卷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 following 4 famous paintings, from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece, have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery,London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital nearSaint-Remy-de-Provence,Francebetween 1889 and 1890. When theMuseumofModern ArtinNew York Citypurchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector fromAntwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art inNew York Citysince 1919.GuernicaGuernica,a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title ‘Guernica’ refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo National Centro de Arte ReinaSofiainMadrid.1. What do the four paintings have in common?A. They are oil paintings.B. They are kept inNew York.C. They show different people’s lives.D. They are created during 10th century to 19th century.2. What do we know about The Starry Night?A. It shows the scenery of a small hillside village.B. Van Gogh produced it when living in his home.C. A private collector gave it away to the museum.D. It was not famous before 1941.3. Whose painting shows the destruction of war?A. Jan van Eyck.B. Vincent van Gogh.C. Pieter Bruegel.D. Pablo Picasso.BA company called Neuralink has shared a video where a monkey is playing a video game. That' s fairly unusual, but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just his mind.The monkey in the video is called Pager who has two of Neuralink's special "Link" devices(装置)inside his brain. The devices planted in Pager's brain are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands.Scientists taught Pager to play a video game. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick it, which is a normal gaming controller. But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.Then they used computers to match the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was the most difficult work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence ( AI) to help them decode(解码)Pager's brain signals.The final step was to have a computer make moves inthe video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an “up” signal to the video game.At first, the researchers let Pager keep moving the joystick with his hand, even though it was no longer connected to the computer. But soon Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.Even though Neuralink's work right now focuses on animals and video games, there's a very serious purpose behind it. Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to make physical movements to interact with the world around them.4. What are “Link” devices used to do?A. To pick up the arms' and hands' signals.B. To link the computer to the monkey's brain.C. To send out information about the brain's signals.D. To control movements of the arms and hands.5. What challenged scientists most in the study?A. Recording and sending out body signals.B. Training Pager to use the joystick correctly.C. Planting "Link" devices into Pager's brain.D. Matching brain signals to body movements.6. What is Neuralink's real purpose of the study?A. To test artificial intelligence.B. To help those without arms or legs.C. To study how animals play video games.D. To develop more complex video games.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Video Games for Animals Are Developed.B. Science Proves the Intelligence of Monkeys.C. Monkey Plays Video Games Using His Mind.D. Neuralink Is Leading the World in Technology.COn the night of September 19, 1961, Betty Hill and her husband Barney were driving home through the White Mountains from Niagara Falls. They were travelling on anearly deserted two-lane highway when Betty noticed a steady light in the sky that was getting bigger and brighter.She thought it was a planet or a star. Barney, stimulated at her excitement, said it was probably just a wandering aeroplane. Whatever it was, it appeared to be following them.They stopped their car for a closer look. What they said happened next, changed their lives. The flying object was noiseless. It appeared to be spinning. It was as big as a jet but shaped like a pancake.So formed the tale of Betty Hill, a New Hampshire social worker who, with Barney, a postal worker, claimed to be kidnapped by aliens, who were from outer space, on a moonlit night about 60 years ago.After reluctantly going public with her experience, Hill, who died of cancer at her New Hampshire home, aged85, became a celebrity on the UFO circuit and was known as the “first lady of UFOs”.Intriguingly, at the time of the incident, the Hills remembered nothing except that they had spied a strange object in the sky. Later, troubled by nightmares and other stress-related pains, the couple underwenthypnosis(催眠) where the full story came out with the aid of Boston psychiatrist Benjamin Simon, an expert in medical hypnosis.On their night of contact the Hills arrived homeat 5 a.m., unable to account for two lost hours. They were also confused by the odd marks on their telescopes, deep signs on the tops of Barney’s best shoes, Betty’s torn dress and strange circular markings on their car that made the needle of a compass jump wildly.After seeing them for six months, the psychiatrist concluded the Hills’ lost memory about the hours they lost on that night in 1961 “appeared to involve an amazing experience on the part of both of the Hills”. Whether the experience had been fantasy or reality, Simon could not say, but he said he was convinced they had not been lying. He guessed that it had been a kind of shared dream.Reports of aliens capturing humans and taking them aboard oddly shaped spacecraft were “comparatively rare” before 1975. After a movie, “The UFO Incident”, about the Hills came out, however, such stories increased.8. When they saw the strange object in the sky, Barney and Betty Hill ______________.A. were astonished at its strange flight and noiseB. regarded it as just a wandering car following themC. realized immediately what the danger it might causeD. showed curiosity in discovering what it really was9. The word “Intriguingly” in paragraph 6 most probably means “______________”.A. RidiculouslyB. TemporarilyC. RemarkablyD. Mysteriously10. The Hills later sought the help of a psychiatrist because ______________.A. they had lots of secrets in their lives after the strange experienceB. their lives were greatly disturbed by the unexpected experienceC. they wanted to share their unforgettable experience with the expertD. they hoped to forget completely what had happened to them11. This article was written in order to ______________.A. describe an unusual event to the readersB. convince readers of the existence of UFOsC. record how people were caught by aliensD. warn people of the dangers the UFOs causeDOne of the greatest challenges in caring for such intelligent animals as chimpanzees(猩猩)is providing them with enriching experiences. Every day, the chimpanzees at Project Chimps receive morning and evening food-based enrichment devices, but caregivers are always looking for more ways to keep the chimps mentally engaged. With 79 chimpanzees, each with their distinctive personality, care staff often find that different chimps react differently to new enrichment.Last year, we began inviting musicians to perform for chimps to see what they may respond. A violin performance received quite the response. Additional musicians were lined up to visit but the coronavirus has stopped the activities, which we hope toresumein the near future.This past week, we brought an electric piano for the chimps to investigate. Some chimps, like twins Buttercup and Clarisse, were immediately interested and could not wait to tap out a few notes. Others, like Emma, were more interested in trying to take it apart.29- year-old Precious has very little tolerance for the piano. She sat off to the side for a few minutes, but eventually she decided that was enough. She called an end to the enrichment session by throwing a handful of waste at the piano. Receiving her message loud and clear, we removed the piano.We could never have guessed how 33-year-old Luke would react to it. As with many retired lab chimpanzees Luke has some anxiety issues. He seems particularly distrustful of anything new, including people, food, and enrichment. But when we presented the chimps with the piano, Luke was the first to investigate. We could not believe our eyes — this usually anxious chimpanzee bravely chose to explore something new!To us at Project Chimps, this is what it is all about: giving chimpanzees the freedom to choose. We are honored to be part of their journey.12. Why do chimpanzees respond differently to new enrichment?A. They are of different genders.B. They have natural curiosities.C They are as intelligent as humans. D. They have their unique characters.13. What does the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Continue.B. Suspend.C. Monitor.D. Regulate.14. Who showed the least interest in the piano?A. Buttercup and Clarisse.B. Emma.C. Precious.D. Luke.15. What is the text mainly about?A. How caregivers care for the retired chimpanzees.B. What care staff do to enrich chimpanzees' daily life.C. How chimpanzees are trained through various enrichment.D. What Project Chimps does to observe and study wild chimps.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。

Which column is this passage most likely to be taken from in a newspaper?A. Sports SpaceB. Literature & NovelC. Routine BusinessD. Tourist & DiscoveryBNearly twenty years after the first book came out, it is clear that Rowlingstill possesses a magical hold on her readers. According to Rowling, it was a liberating experience to write a novel for adults without any expectations and to get feedback from readers.Rowling’s story is one of rags to riches that began on a train journey from Manchester to London in the. U. K., when the idea of a boy attending a school of wizardry, the characters and situations came flooding into her mind. Born as Joanne, Rowling was always fascinated with fantasy stories and started writing them at a young age. Her first story at six was about a rabbit, named Rabbit, which came down with measles（麻疹）and was visited by many friends including the giant Miss Bee. However, as she grew older, the task of making a living consumed her as she did different jobs.The passing away of her mother, a failed marriage and a young child had pushed Rowling to the edge of depression, when the magical wizard rescued her. Consumed by the desire to finish the story, she worked in cafes when her infant daughter slept.When her first manuscript was completed, Rowling sent it to twelve publishing houses which rejected it. The credit went to a small publisher, who decided to go ahead when his eight-year-old daughter asked for more after reading the first chapter!At the request of the publisher who felt that boys may not read a mystery book written by a woman, Joanne changed her name to J. K. Rowling —the “K” in the initial stands for her paternal grandmother Katherine. The first book was released in June 1997 and within a year, won the prestigious（有名望的）Book of the Year award in the U. K. From then on, Rowling had found her calling and her books flew off the shelf within a day of them being released. Harry Potter had become a franchise, and the movies, toys and books have made Rowling into a billionaire.24. We can learn from the passage that ________.A.

Rowling thought it not a great experience to write for adults25. What is NOT the cause of Rowling’s depression ac cording to the passage?A. The magical wizard.B. The death of her mother.C.

It seems that young people in China are more optimistic than youth in other countries. Varkey Foundation, a UK non-profit organization, did a survey between last September and October. It asked 20,000 young people in 20 countries including China, the United States and the United Kingdom how they think and feel about the world. The survey found that 53 percent of those questioned in China thinkthe world is becoming a better place, the highest percentage among the countries surveyed.When asked why they felt hopeful for the future, 93 percent of Chinese youth think it’s because of advances in technology. Medicine, renewable energy and computing may make life in the future easier. Some 64 percent of Chinese youth also think China is a good place to live. The biggest reason（29 percent）is that China is “a country in which anyone is able to get on if they work hard”.The survey also found young people in emerging economies are more hopeful about the future than those in developed countries. Following China, Indian youth were the second most optimistic（49 percent）. Those in France, Italy and Turkey are the most pessimistic. The rise of global terrorism worries them most.However, Chinese young people seem to worry about something else. As much as 82 percent of them worry about climate change. China is the only country out of the 20 in which climate change was the biggest cause of fear for future. Vikas Pota of the Varkey Foundation took this as a good thing. Chinese youths are more aware than anyone of how serious the climate problem is and will be pressing for change, he told the South China Morning Post.28. In the survey, about ________ felt hopeful about the world.A. 20 countriesB. 10,600 Chinese youthC. 20,000 young peopleD. 53 percent of Chinese youth questioned29.

Chinese young people are more optimistic.B. The life in the future in China is easier.C. Chinese young people worry climate change most.D. The young people in developed countries are worried about terrorism. DDo you always struggle to understand others’ feelings? Perhaps you should listen to your heart.According to a team of scientists at Anglia Ruskin University in the UK, people who are more aware of their own heartbeat are better at understanding others’ emotions.Researchers have long suspected that this ability is important for understanding others’ thoughts and feelings.To test this theory, the British team asked 72 volunteers to count their own heartbeats without feeling a pulse（脉搏）. This aimed to see how aware they were of the feelings inside their own bodies.Then, the volunteers were shown video clips of social interactions（互动）, which tested their ability to read the minds of the characters.During the clips, they were asked questions that required an understanding of the emotions of a certain character - for example, “What is Sandra feeling?” In addition, they were asked questions that did not involve any emotions, such as “What is Michael thinking?” Th ey were also askednon-social questions, like “What was the weather like that evening?”The results showed that those who had counted their heartbeats most accurately were better at answering questions relating to the characters’ emotions. However, there was no link between the ability to feel what’s going on inside your body and questions that did not involve any emotions. Punit Shah, lead author of the study, used an example to explain this: If your colleague Michael is rude toward Sandra in public, your body processes （处理）this by increasing your heart rate. This may make you feel anxious and allow you to understand that Sandra is embarrassed.“If you do not feel your heart rate increase, it may reduce your ability to understand that situation and respond a ppropriately,” Shah told The Telegraph.Researchers believed their findings mean it could be possible to make people more empathetic by training them to listen to their hearts.This also lends support to the argument that feelings are, at the very least, deeply rooted in physical sensations（感觉）).32. What does the new study find?A. People are better at understanding others’ emotions than thoughts.B. People with quicker heartbeats are more sensitive to others’ feelings.C. The ability to feel your heartbeat is important for understanding others’ thoughts.D. Your ability to feel others’ emotions is related to your ability to feel your own heartbeat.33. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the new study according to the article?A. The volunteers were asked to count their heartbeats while watching video clips.B. Researchers designed emotional, non-emotional and non-social questions.C. The volunteers were required to describe each other’s thoughts and feelings.D. Researchers trained the volunteers to listen to their hearts and observed them.34. The underlined word “empathetic” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means _________.A. willing to accept ideas that are different from your ownB. not influenced in any way by other people or thingsC. being able to understand others’ feelingsD. willing to help those in trouble35. What can be concluded from the last four paragraphs?A. We react to a situation more slowly when our heart rates increase.B. Physical sensations in our bodies are believed to cause emotional changes.C. Our ability to feel emotions is part of us and can’t be changed.D. How we feel has nothing to do with the state of our bodies.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。

AWhen Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and he wrote letters to many companies until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris began to lose his confidence, then depressed. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.“Why don’t you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The wo rld is a money-locker. You’d better find a way of opening it.”“But what can I do?”“Get out and have a look round.” advised his uncle. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to win his good fame. A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good: in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other problems. But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop in a new place where there were plenty of customers but no competition.Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair motor-cycles.

Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be foundthere day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else—there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased (停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.8.Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?A. Wealth results from honest effort.B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.C. For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.D. The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.9. The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means ________.A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your faceB. No pains, no gainsC. Failure is the mother of successD. Bread comes from the sweat on your face10. We learn from the passage that the author ________.A. was a wealthy person in the communityB. held a positive attitude towards an active lifeC. was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)D. kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed11. What is implied in the passage by the writer?A. To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.D. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.DHaving a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who loves reading. It may be got from your father or your father’s father, and it c an just impress people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.From my point of view, reading is very important in our daily life. For example, reading is a way of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination, and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field. You can express your opinions about a political event because you have read something about that.Secondly, reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can imagine what life will be like in the future. Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve the problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people, they often face the same problems as we all do.In short, I would like to say that literature is the perfect way of enriching our culture, expressing correctly, having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be a learned person.12. In the author’s opinion, a person has many books at home only to _______.A. make his house look more beautifulB. show that his father is a learned personC. impress others with the fact that he loves readingD. show that he is rich enough to collect many books13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A. Reading a lot is good for writingB. Reading can help us gain knowledgeC. Reading can help us have a great imaginationD. Reading helps us enter the field of politics easily14. We can learn from the third paragraph that _______.A. people in stories are always unbelievableB. books may help us solve problemsC. writers are good at dealing with problems in lifeD. writers often have different experiences in life15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Why Is Reading Important in Our LifeB. How Can We Become a Learned PersonC. Different Reading, Different FunctionsD. Having a Good Collection of Books Means a Lot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。

On September 10, the center hosted a unique class of star musicians: kids and teens. The young players are part of the World Peace Orchestra, or WPO. The group held its first Music for Peace concert inNew York City, with 134 students from more than 60 countries taking part. Musicians were chosen from all over the world.The World Peace Orchestra began in 2013. The nonprofit group brings kids together using the common language of music. To be considered for the orchestra, students first had to be recommended by their teachers and then audition online for a group of judges. Once chosen, professional musicians and teachers then worked with the players to improve their skills.Some of the young musicians played classical instruments, such as violins and flutes. Others played instruments unique to their home country. For example, Amold Mugo, 16, fromKenya, played an instrument called the djembe. The drum is originally fromWest Africa. Mugo said he was shocked when he learned he was chosen for the orchestra. “I can’t express how I felt. I was rolling on the floor. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said.Adomas Hendrixson, 13, fromLithuania, played piano for the WPO. Before theNew York Cityperformance, Hendrixson talked about what he hoped to take away from the event. “Fun and joy-- people smiling and clapping,” he said.“This is one of the only times in your life this could happen and I'm very excited.”Mugo says his favorite part of the WPO is making new friends from around the world. “I hope when I go home, I just take a little bit of every friend that I made here-- Brazil, Portugal, Queens,” Mugo said, “I hope that I take part of their culture home with me so I understand them more.”1. Who is most likely to have played for the WPO according to this passage?A. Li Ming, 16, a student fromChina.B. Daniel, 44, a judge fromAmerica.C. Edward, 21, a clerk fromAustralia.D. Catherine, 32, a teacher fromEngland.2. We can learn from the last paragraph that Mugo ________.A.performed best for the WPO.B. has learned some foreign culture.C. was eager to be chosen for a second time.D. received a great award for his performance.3. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Kids were good at playing music.B. Mugo liked making foreign friends.C. Concerts were played atLincolncentre.D. Young musicians played for peace.BHenry Cavill: Bring Superman to LifeHenry Cavill knew that he wanted to be a star at 16 years of age, after a chance meeting with movie star Russell Crowe who inspired hispassion for acting. But for the British-born actor, the bright lights and attraction ofHollywoodwere a long way away. Supported by his secretary mother and stockbroker father, he decided to study drama during high school. His journey to super star began.Before gaining the international recognition he has now, Cavill tried out for roles in the Harry Potter and Twilight series but failed to get either. He would have to keep waiting for his big chance.Determined as ever, Cavill took any acting jobs he could get his hands on and appeared in several low-budget horror movies and TV shows in hopes of getting noticed. It almost worked. In the early 2000s, at just 22 years old, he narrowly missed out on becoming the new James Bond. Finally, in 2007, his hard work paid off. He won a leading role as the first Duke of Suffolk in the period showThe Tudors. The TV show was very popular and helped to raise Cavill's popularity inAmerica.In 2011, Cavil landed his breakout role, playing Superman in the DC Extended Universe. He hasn't looked back and has since starred in many hit films, such asMission: Impossible- Fallout.More recently, he stepped back on to the small screen. Since 2019, he has starred in the popular seriesThe Witcher, adapted from the book series and video games of the same name. In the TV show, Cavill played a brave monster hunter named Geralt of Rivia, which was the perfect role for Cavill because he was a fan of the video games. Cavill also got a chance to play a classic English character — master detective Sherlock Holmes — in 2020'sEnola Holmes.However, Cavill isn't just a good guy on screen. His charity work also makes him a real-life hero. In 2014, he took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge while wearing his full Superman suit to support the ALS Association.Currently, he is an ambassador for the UK's Royal Marines Charity, which supports war veterans (退伍军人). Why does he do it? He love to make people feel good and bring smiles to people' faces. Indeed, Henry Cavill in living proof that you don't always need to wear a cape (斗篷) to act like a hero.4. Why did Cavil act in low-budget film and TV works early in his career?A. He was too polite to refuse.B. He was hoping to get noticed.C. He was encouraged to do so by his parents.D. He was friends with the directors of the projects.5. The role of the monster hunter was the perfect for Cavill because ________ .A. he had experienced hunting monstersB. he had played the same role in a movieC. he knew the writer of the books personallyD. he enjoyed the video games that the show was rooted in6. Which of the following words can best describe Cavill?A. Modest and friendly.B. Determined and kind.C. Talented and faithful.D. Honest and considerate.7. What made Cavill a real-life hero?A. Being a successful actor.B. Playing Superman on screen.C. Devoting to charities.D. Wearing a cape to take part in activities.CThis is Scientific America's 60-Second Science. I am Christopher Intagliata.The Apollo missions brought back 842 pounds of rock and soil from the moon, that's nearly 2200 different samples. But the most interesting one, according to a scientist Meenakshi Wadhwa, is a sample named "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5collected by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11.“He was about to step back into the lunar module(登月舱) when he turned around and saw there were little spaces in the rock box. He knew that geologists on earth would be just so excited to study these materials, so he just scooped up nine scoops(勺) of soil and put it into the box." Wadhwa explained.It was one of the most well studied samples of the Apollo missions. And a geologist named John Woodnoticed white flecks(微粒) of rock in the soil, which inspired him to dig deeper into the moon's ancient past.“This was quite a leap of imagination — he proposed that the whole of the moon had been almost covered with a magma(岩浆) ocean nearly 4.5 billion years ago. This was a revolutionary idea at the time, because people had thought the moon had formed cold, so it completely changed our idea how the moon formed.”But Wadhwa has a more personal reason to appreciate this sample. She met her husband Scott Parazynski also because of this rock sample. Scott, a mountaineer at that time, wanted to climbMount Everestwith a moon rock while Wadhwa was the chairman of the NASA committee that gives access to the samples for scientific purposes.Neil Armstrong's last-minute scoop of moon dust brought two people together here on Earth and upturned our understanding of how the moon — and the Earth itself-got here.Thank you for listening for Scientific American's 60-Second Science.8. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that ________ .A. Neil Armstrong was excited to find the soilB. the spaceship was about to land on the moonC. Sample "Apollo1-008-5" was collected at the last minuteD. scientists were not satisfied with the samples brought back by Neil9. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A.

Wadhwa and her husband climbedMount Everestwith a moon rock.10. What is this text?A. A short interview.B. An introduction to a scientist.C. An inspiring speech.D. A broadcast story of a program.11. What is the text mainly about?A. A romantic story of a moon rock.B. A big leap made by Neil Armstrong.C. An unusual task for Apollo missions.D. An unexpected discovery in moon exploration.DElizabeth Spelke, a cognitive psychologist at Harvard, has spent her career testing the world’s most complex learning system-the mind of a baby. Babies might seem like no match for artificial intelligence (AI). They are terrible at labeling images, hopeless at mining text, and awful at video games. Then again, babies can do things beyond the reach of any AI. By just a few months old, they’ve begun to grasp the foundations of language, such as grammar. They’ve started to understand how to adapt to unfamiliar situations.Yet even experts like Spelke don’t understand precisely how babies or adults learn. Consider one of the most impressive examples of AI, Alpha Zero, a programme that plays board games with superhuman skill. After playing thousands of games against itself at a super speed, and learning from winning positions, Alpha Zero independently discovered several famous chess strategies and even invented new ones. It certainly seems like a machineeclipsinghuman cognitive abilities. But Alpha Zero needs to play millions more games than a person during practice to learn a game. Most importantly, it cannot take what it has learned from the game and apply it to another area.To some AI experts, that calls for a new approach. In a November research paper, Francois Chollet, a well-known AI engineer, argued that it’s misguided to measure machine intelligence just according to its skills at specific tasks. “Humans don’t start out with skills; they start out with a broad ability to acquire new skills,” he says. “What a strong human chess player is demonstrating is not only the ability to play chess, but the potential to fulfill any task of a similar difficulty.”12. Compared to an advanced AI programme, a baby might be better at ________.A playing games B. identifying locations C. labeling pictures D. making adjustments13. What does the underlined word “eclipsing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Imitating.B. Beating.C. Limiting.D. Promoting.14. According to the text, Francois Chollet may agree that ________.A. AI is good at completing certain assignments.B. AI is likely to gain abilities with less training.C. AI lacks the ability of acquiring specific skills.D. AI performs better than humans in cognitive ability.15. Whichwould be the best title for this passage?A. What is exactly intelligence?B. Why is modern AI advanced?C. Where is human intelligence going?D. How do humans face the challenge of AI?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。

Congratulations on your admission into Peking University. Having learnt you are puzzled about the major you’ll choose, I’d like to share my view.
There is no doubt that Chinese Language and Literature offers far wider job opportunities than History. And you must keep in mind that your university training is a preparation for your future career. Therefore, it would be better to choose Chinese Language and Literature as your major. By the way, I can’t wait to meet you and it’s my pleasure to be you tour guide.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
