I sat down beside her and opened with a simple “Hello”. I smiledand she shyly smiled back. We talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty. I asked the girl why she was so sad.

She said, “I know.” She looked at me and smiled. Slowly she stood to her feet, and said, “Really?”“Yes, dear, you’re like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by.”She nodded her head “yes”and smiled, and with that she spreadher wings and said loudly in a shocking voice with a twinkle in her eye, “I am. I’m your guardian angel.”I was speechless, sure I was seeing things. She said, “For once you thought of someone other than yourself, my job here is done.”Immediately I stood to my feet and said, “Wait, so why did no one stop to helpan angel!?” She looked at me and smiled, “You’re the only one who could see me,and you believe it in your heart.”…and she was gone.And with that my life changed dramatically.

The man in the Mercury(水星) capsule（宇宙飞行容器）was alone, but friendly voices reached him by radio. On the dark land 100 miles below, he saw a sprinkling of light. They marked the city of Perth, where people had turned on their lights as a greeting to him.In Friendship7, Glenn radioed, “The lights show up very well. Thank for everybody for turning them on.” His capsule raced on to the east.During his three orbits of the earth, Glenn could always reach one of eighteen tracking stations. Some of them were on ship at sea. Others were in the United States.Many of the stations had been built with the help of other countries. These countries allowed Americans to bring in radio equipment and set it up. Without the help of such lands as Nigeria（尼日利亚）, Zanzibar（尚巴西，坦桑尼亚领土的一部分）, and Mexico, there would have been breaks in the worldwide radio network.John H. Glenn. Jr., was the first America to orbit the earth. For his flight, the tracking network（跟踪网络） covered 60,000 route miles. Five hundred men worked inthe stations al ong the route. Since his flight, the network has grown. Today, it covers more than 100,000 route miles and has about one hundred stations. One-third of these stations are outside of the United States.26.This passage is mainly about .A.talking to ships at sea around the worldB. a satellite which fell intothe oceanC.the first American to orbit the earthD. breaks in the worldwidenetwork27.

Countries must work together to track satellites.B. Nobody has orbited the earth besides Glenn.C. The tracking network covers many more route miles now than before.D. There are now about 70 tracking stations in the United States.BThomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard wor k.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a childhe wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.31.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Edison invented the electric light.B.Few men in history can change other people’s life.C.Edison has changed the life of many other people.D.Many other people have changed Edison’s life.32.Edison thought .A. he could be happy if he was a geniusB. genius could do better than hard workC. hard work could do better than geniusD. genius plays the most important part in one’s success33.Edison was .A. very much interested in natureB. uninterested in making people happier by discovering the secrets of natureC. interested in changing people’s ideasD. interested in discovering the secrets of nature34.In Edison’s op inion, .A. thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as helpB. there are few secrets for him to discover laterC. hard work is the second important thing in making people successfulD. people’s successs lies mostly in genius35. The last sentence in the passage most probably implies .A. life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beingsB. People of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 years’ workC. Edison was able to live and work for 100 yearsD. Edison made 100 inventions in his lifeCWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mo ther’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not toUnderstand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he doesn’t send me cheek already two week lone.”And then, in perfec t English I said: “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me.

AFlying for a long time, you finally arrive at the place where you can relax—your hotel room. Now you throw your bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programme on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA.The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN. With an audience of over 1.5 billion people, these are popular channels that offer good-quality news programmes. In both companies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard.However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or non-Western view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic company, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both companies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western j ournalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don’t normally see.The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this company are often local people who write the stories for free. This non-professional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices.This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets you write stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter.1. The first paragraph is meant to ______.A. introduce the topicB. give a warningC. explain a reasonD. offer a suggestion2. It can be learned from the text that more and more people will ______.A. prefer to read local newsB. start a career in citizen journalismC. pay more attention to world newsD. give up watching TV news programmes3. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Latest Local NewsB. Traditional World NewsC. The End of TV NewsD. More Choices for NewsBSince 2013,Torobo, a robotic are designed to test the limits of artificial intelligence, has had one ambition—to be admitted to the University of Tokyo, one of Asia’s top-ranked educational institutions. Although equipped with an extensive database of textbooks and other teaching materials, Torobo has repeatedly failed to obtain the university’s r equired minimum 80% score in the National Center Test, a yearly standardized entrance examination adopted by Japanese universities. This year was no exception.In early November, Torobo, along with millions of Japanese high school students, took a mock(模拟的)exam to prepare for the all-important standardized test.Torobo’s total score of 525 out of 950,which was higher than the national average, was enough for it to get admitted to many other influential Japanese universities.However, its standard score of 57.1%, though 14 points higher than in 2015,still fell short of the minimum required for the University of Tokyo.A closer analysis of the results showed that Torobo was able to draw from its database to solve knowledge-based questions and ones involving complex mathematical calculations, but it had a hard time thinking independently, failing to comprehend multiple sentences and phrases to arrive at the logical conclusions. This weakness was reflected in its shabby English scores.Fortunately, the robot’s cr eators have decided to free Torobo from its four-year sufferings. Noriko Arai, professor of the University of Tokyo who heads the team, says, “From the present results, we are able to evaluate the possibilities and limits of artificial intelligence. From now on, we will grow its abilities in the fields where it is doing well and aim to improve them to levels that can be applied in industry.” So while Torobo will never graduate from the University of Tokyo, itcan still look forward to a bright future!4. Why was Torobo primitively designed?A. To compete against humans in learning abilities.B. To attend college like ordinary human students.C. To explore the potential of artificial intelligence.D. To analyze the results of the college entrance examination.5. How many times has Torobo taken part in the college entrance examination?A.4.B.3.C.5.D.6.6. What might have held Torobo back from being admitted to the University of Tokyo?A. Its storage space.B. Its arithmetic speed.C. Its knowledge database.D. Its thinking ability.7.Torobo won’t take the next college entrance examination because.A. it has failed to accomplish its aimB. it will serve in another areaC. it has suffered severe damageD. it will look for a job rather than studyCFilled with much housework, meals and childcare at home, many people feel that being at work sounds more like having a picnic. Even for those who have a happy family life, they feel actually more stressed at home than at work.Recently, a study carried out by the researchers at a university in the USA found lower levels of hormone released in response to stress in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home. This was true for both men and women, and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work. But women are more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home. Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. “Paid work is more valued in society,” said Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study, “Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards. Yet none of us, no matter how long we’ve been doing it, ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief. At home, meanwhile, stress spreads and increases quickly.“That’s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,” Dr. Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to “leave work stress at office” and even to change our mind-set from work to home, for example, a walk around the block. The recent findings, though, suggest our home life, not our attitude, might be due for some change.8.According to Paragraph 1, many people feel that being at home .A. is like having a picnicB. is an ideal way to manage stressC. can bring more stress than in the workplaceD. offers greater relaxation than at work9.According to Sarah Damaske, .A. men feel happier at work than womenB. household work is not as rewarding as work on a jobC. parents without children tend to feel happierD. both men and women feel happier at home than at work10. What can make people feel happy at work?A. Forgetting the stress from family life.B. A good management of their marriage.C. Much competition among colleagues.D. Recognition of the value of their work.11. According to the recent findings, what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?A. Our attitude.B. Our mind-set.C. Our home life.D. Our working style.DAs any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦) in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.Re searchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them—whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries,including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response—suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby’ cry.A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds—roughly the time to blink(眨眼)—t wo parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women—even if they had no children.Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should ju st notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were n ot parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.Fellow researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own child’s cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.12. A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it _____.A. makes people feel strong emotionsB. cries harder than adultsC. causes people great painD. keeps on crying13.The underlined wo rd “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”A. removeB. causeC. avoidD. cure14. What may Christine Parsons agree to?A. Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.B. A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.C. Almost everyone makes certain response to a baby’s cries.D. Parents can hardly recognize their own babies’ cry.15. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to prevent a baby crying.B. How to recognize different babies’ cries.C. Why a baby is easy and likely to cry.D. Why you can’t get a baby’s cry out of your head第二节、七选五（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As you enter a university, you turn to a new page where life is quite different from before.__16_.

2019-2020学年江门市第二中学高三英语月考试题及答案解析

2019-2020学年江门市第二中学高三英语月考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（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A“Why do I feel cold when I have a fever?” “Why does the sun rise in the east?” I knew the day would come when my little girl Sophie would learn to talk and inevitably (不可避免地) start askingthose questions. The questions themselves weren’t worrying me. I was actually looking forward to seeing where her curiosity would lie.What was bothering (烦恼) me was whether or not I would know the answers. In the age of the smartphone, this may seem like a silly worry. The answers to almost everything would be just one Google away.Still, I struggled with how I was going to prepare to become an all-knowing mother. Then one day, it struck me: I didn’t need to have all the answers. What a great example I could set if I let my daughter know that I, too, was still learning. And I realized how much more I could learn if I took another look at things I thought I already knew the answer to with the curiosity of a child. My little girl’s mind is a beginner’s mind--- curious, open to new ideas, eager to learn, and not based on knowledge that already exists. I decided that I would deal with her questions with a beginner’s mind, too.Once I decided to become more curious, I started noticing that curiosity was becoming more important in the workplace, too. It seems that leaders don't need to have all the answers, but they do need to be curious.Curious about curiosity, I searched for answers and found Albert Einstein’s famous words, “I have no special talent. I am only passionately (热情地) curious.” We mightquibble overthe view that Einstein had no special talent, but there is one thing for certain---he wouldn't have solved the puzzles of the universe without his passionate curiosity. Then I came across another Einstein quote, “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason or existence.”1. The advantage of having a beginner’s mind is that ________.A. people can learn much faster.B. people won't be afraid to make mistakes.C. people are willing to receive new things.D. people won't be expected to answer all questions.2. What does the example of Einstein’s words show?A. Einstein was passionate about curiosity.B. Einstein’s quotes are very famous.C. Curiosity is of great significance.D. Curiosity is more necessary than talent.3. What does the underlined phrase “quibble over” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Fight against.B. Argue about.C. Work out.D. Agree withBSurfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.”“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university's website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity (生产效率),” he said.According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software toblocktheir employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That's not always a good idea.”However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without.” he said.4. What does the University of Melbourne study mainlyshow?A. People who surf the Internet are good employees.B. Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.C. The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.D. Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities?A. Watching videos.B. Reading online news.C. Reading online novels.D. Playing online games.6. The underlined word “block” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.A. stopB. organizeC. protectD. separate7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.B. Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.C. Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.D. People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.CDoctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don’t listen because they already know it all, I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn’t realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As 1 flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot—and my boss—so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness sand said, we need to put the landing gear down now! That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn’t overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I’m in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from landing gear up.8. What does the author say about doctors in general?A. They like flying by themselves.B. They are quick learners of CRM.C. They pretend to be good pilots.D. They are unwilling to take advice.9. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when .A. his boss landed the plane too lateB. he was in charge of a flying taskC. he saved the plane by speaking upD. his boss operated on a patient10. In the last paragraph landing gear up probably means .A. following flying requirementsB. making a mistake that may cost livesC. listening to what fellow doctors sayD. overreacting to different opinions11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying SafeB. A Pilot-Turned DoctorC. The Making of a Good PilotD. Flying Makes Me a Better DoctorDA man in Indonesia is walking backwards for 435 miles.

They said they hate the “involution (内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”4. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?A. Warned.B. Criticized.C. Touched.D. Amused.5. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young?A. Improvements in living conditions.B. Growing pressure from family and social life.C. Increasing material possessions from families.D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.6. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group?A. Understanding.B. Intolerant.C.Supportive.D. Unclear.7. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text?A. They never really drop their responsibilities.B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.D. They would rather escape than take challenges.CAccording to a survey published by the American Institutes for Research last year, a total of 57 colleges were operating some form of CBE programs and about 85 percent of all the higher education officials said they were either designing a CBE program at their school or were considering doing so.Students in a CBE program choose a central field of study, just as they would at a traditional college or university. Yet instead of attending a series of classes led by professors or teaching assistants at schools, the students study online and direct themselves.CBE programs require students to show their understanding of a given set of sills Students must prove their mastery of skills that relate to their field of choice by taking related exams. Once they have met all the requirements of their study programs, the students will get their degrees.CBE programs have made use of many new technologies, especially internet and online media. This helps reduce barriers for nontraditional and other students by bringing higher education to them. And programs that permit students to work at their own speed may save students' money by reducing the time it takes for them to earn a degree.But some educators have concerns about the value of the education that CBE programs offer. Johann Neem atWesternWashingtonUniversityargues that the purpose of higher education is not simply to help students master certain skills. It should teach students how to think critically (批判性地) understand the subjects they are studying more deeply and see how they are connected to other subjects. Only that way can they put the knowledge to better use.He said, “You need to explore, think .. get shaken, have a conversation and struggle. Andthose things taketime.”Instead of supporting CBE, he adds, policy makers and educators should look for ways to improve access and reduce costs for traditional higher education.8. How are CBE programs different from traditional college education?A. They require students to choose their subjects.B. They offer shorter curricula and are less expensive.C. They heavily rely on the information technologies.D. They allow students to take easier examinations.9. What can we learn from Johann Neem's words?A Free access to traditional education should be provided.B. Higher education just focuses on critical thinking skills.C. Students should spend longer time completing the degree courses.D. College students should be challenged to explore around their subjects.10. How does Johann Neem's attitude toward CBE programs?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Sympathetic.D. Uncaring.11. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To press policy-makers to provide more affordable education.B. To show the disadvantages of the traditional college education.C. To introduce a new controversial trend in the higher education.D. To encourage educators to improve the quality of CBE programs.DAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings foracquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.12. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.13. What impressed “I” by Lori?A. Lori was good at running recruiting.B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.14. What can we infer from the passage?A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.15. What is the best title of the passage?A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The man in the Mercury(水星) capsule（宇宙飞行容器）was alone, but friendly voices reached him by radio. On the dark land 100 miles below, he saw a sprinkling of light. They marked the city of Perth, where people had turned on their lights as a greeting to him.In Friendship7, Glenn radioed, “The lights show up very well. Thank for everybody for turning them on.” His capsule raced on to the east.During his three orbits of the earth, Glenn could always reach one of eighteen tracking stations. Some of them were on ship at sea. Others were in the United States.Many of the stations had been built with the help of other countries. These countries allowed Americans to bring in radio equipment and set it up. Without the help of such lands as Nigeria （尼日利亚）, Zanzibar（尚巴西，坦桑尼亚领土的一部分）, and Mexico, there would have been breaks in the worldwide radio network.John H. Glenn. Jr., was the first America to orbit the earth. For his flight, the tracking network（跟踪网络） covered 60,000 route miles. Five hundred men worked in the stations al ong the route. Since his flight, the network has grown. Today, it covers more than 100,000 route miles and has about one hundred stations. One-third of these stations are outside of the United States.26.This passage is mainly about .A.talking to ships at sea around the worldB. a satellite which fell into the oceanC.the first American to orbit the earthD. breaks in the worldwide network27.

There are now about 70 tracking stations in the United States.BThomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard wor k.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.31.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Edison invented the electric light.B.Few men in history can change other people’s life.C.Edison has changed the life of many other people.D.Many other people have changed Edison’s life.32.Edison thought .A. he could be happy if he was a geniusB. genius could do better than hard workC. hard work could do better than geniusD. genius plays the most important part in one’s success33.Edison was .A. very much interested in natureB. uninterested in making people happier by discovering the secrets of natureC. interested in changing people’s ideasD. interested in discovering the secrets of nature34.In Edison’s op inion, .A. thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as helpB. there are few secrets for him to discover laterC. hard work is the second important thing in making people successfulD. people’s successs lies mostly in genius35. The last sentence in the passage most probably implies .A. life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beingsB. People of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 years’ workC. Edison was able to live and work for 100 yearsD. Edison made 100 inventions in his lifeCWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mo ther’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to Understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he doesn’t send me cheek already two week lone.”And then, in perfec t English I said: “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to sendthe check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.36.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?A.She was unable to speak good English.B.She was often misunderstood.C.She was not clearly heard.D.She was not very polite.37.From Paragorph 2, we know that the author was .A.good a pretendingB.rude to the stockbrokerC.ready to help her motherD.unwilling to phone for her mother38.After the author made the phone call, .A.they forgave the stockbrokerB.they failed to get the checkC.they went to New York immediatelyD.they spoke to their boss at once39.What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A.It confuses her.B.It embarrasses her.C.It helps her understand the world.D.It helps her tolerate rude people.40.We can inter from the passage that Chinese English .A.is clear and natural to non-native speakersB.is vivid and direct to non-native speakersC.has a verv bad reputation in AmericaD.may bring inconvenience in America四、英语知识运用（满分45分）第一节完型填空(每小题1.5分，共30分)阅读下面短文，将从短文后各题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项 There are more than forty universities in Britain—nearly twice as many as in 1960.

广东省江门市第二中学2019届高三英语上学期期末考试(1月月考)试题

AFlying for a long time, you finally arrive at the place where you can relax—your hotel room. Now you throw your bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programme on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA.The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN. With an audience of over 1.5 billion people, these are popular channels that offer good-quality news programmes. In both companies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard.However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or non-Western view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic company, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both companies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don’t normally see.The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this company are often local people who write the stories for free. This non-professional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices.This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets youwrite stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter.1. The first paragraph is meant to ______.A. introduce the topicB. give a warningC. explain a reasonD. offer a suggestion2. It can be learned from the text that more and more people will ______.A. prefer to read local newsB. start a career in citizen journalismC. pay more attention to world newsD. give up watching TV news programmes3. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Latest Local NewsB. Traditional World NewsC. The End of TV NewsD. More Choices for NewsBSince 2013,Torobo, a robotic are designed to test the limits of artificial intelligence, has had one ambition—to be admitted to the University of Tokyo, one of Asia’s top-ranked educational institutions. Although equipped with an extensive database of textbooks and other teaching materials, Torobo has repeatedly failed to obtain the university’s r equired minimum 80% score in the National Center Test, a yearly standardized entrance examination adopted by Japanese universities. This year was no exception.In early November, Torobo, along with millions of Japanese high school students, took a mock(模拟的)exam to prepare for the all-important standardized test.Torobo’s total score of 525 out of 950,which was higher than the national average, was enough for it to get admitted to many other influential Japanese universities.However, its standard score of 57.1%, though 14 points higher than in 2015,still fell short of the minimum required for the University of Tokyo.A closer analysis of the results showed that Torobo was able to draw from its database to solve knowledge-based questions and ones involving complex mathematicalcalculations, but it had a hard time thinking independently, failing to comprehend multiple sentences and phrases to arrive at the logical conclusions. This weakness was reflected in its shabby English scores.Fortunately, the robot’s cr eators have decided to free Torobo from its four-year sufferings. Noriko Arai, professor of the University of Tokyo who heads the team, says, “From the present results, we are able to evaluate the possibilities and limits of artificial intelligence. From now on, we will grow its abilities in the fields where it is doing well and aim to improve them to levels that can be applied in industry.” So while Torobo will never graduate from the University of Tokyo, it can still look forward to a bright future!4. Why was Torobo primitively designed?A. To compete against humans in learning abilities.B. To attend college like ordinary human students.C. To explore the potential of artificial intelligence.D. To analyze the results of the college entrance examination.5. How many times has Torobo taken part in the college entrance examination?A.4.B.3.C.5.D.6.6. What might have held Torobo back from being admitted to the University of Tokyo?A. Its storage space.B. Its arithmetic speed.C. Its knowledge database.D. Its thinking ability.7.Torobo won’t take the next college entrance examination because.A. it has failed to accomplish its aimB. it will serve in another areaC. it has suffered severe damageD. it will look for a job rather than studyCFilled with much housework, meals and childcare at home, many people feel that being at work sounds more like having a picnic. Even for those who have a happy family life, they feel actually more stressed at home than at work.Recently, a study carried out by the researchers at a university in the USA found lower levels of hormone released in response to stress in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home. This was true for both men and women, and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work. But women are more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home. Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. “Paid work is more valued in society,” said Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study, “Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards. Yet none of us, no matter how long we’ve been doing it, ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief. At home, meanwhile, stress spreads and increases quickly.“That’s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,” Dr. Damaske says.Much of the a dvice to families and couples includes the warning to “leave work stress at office” and even to change our mind-set from work to home, for example, a walk around the block. The recent findings, though, suggest our home life, not our attitude, might be due for some change.8.According to Paragraph 1, many people feel that being at home .A. is like having a picnicB. is an ideal way to manage stressC. can bring more stress than in the workplaceD. offers greater relaxation than at work9.According to Sarah Damaske, .A. men feel happier at work than womenB. household work is not as rewarding as work on a jobC. parents without children tend to feel happierD. both men and women feel happier at home than at work10. What can make people feel happy at work?A. Forgetting the stress from family life.B. A good management of theirmarriage.C. Much competition among colleagues.D. Recognition of the value of their work.11. According to the recent findings, what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?A. Our attitude.B. Our mind-set.C. Our home life.D. Our working style.DAs any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why.A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦) in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.Researchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them—whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response—suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby’ cry.A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds—roughly the time to blink(眨眼)—two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women—even if they had no children.Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “Yo u might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.Fellow researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone torecognize their own child’s cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.12. A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it _____.A. makes people feel strong emotionsB. cries harder than adultsC. causes people great painD. keeps on crying13.The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”A. removeB. causeC. avoidD. cure14. What may Christine Parsons agree to?A. Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.B. A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.C. Almost everyone makes certain response to a baby’s cries.D. Parents can hardly recognize their own babies’ cry.15. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to prevent a baby crying.B. How to recognize different babies’ cries.C. Why a baby is easy and likely to cry.D. Why you can’t get a baby’s cry out of your head第二节、七选五（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As you enter a university, you turn to a new page where life is quite different from before.__16_.

But making the year meaningful has its rewards. These high school seniors describe their strategies (策略) for staying interested and involved in school.How are you getting the most out of senior year?I have picked up the pace by taking a stricter curriculum (课程) than in my junior year.

They make their senior year count with great effort.BI went to live with my mother for two yearson her farm when I was in middle school.Whenever people hear that I lived on a farm,they immediately have an image of dairy cows, tractors, hay, and overalls. But things were totally different.I wasn't on the kind of farm everyone imagines. I didn't feed cows or pigs; I didn't grow corn or wheat. I helped my mother raise llamas (羊驼).It is strange that such non-traditional livestock should be raised on a long-established farm such as ours, which has been in the family forgenerations. Our family did indeed raise traditional livestock for many decades. Then, fifty years ago, my great-grandfather decided to buy a llama. He must have learned that wool from llamas was more profitable than wool from sheep. The llama wool business turned out to be so successful, in fact, that my great-grandfather changed the family business to a completely-developed llama farm.Before I began to live on the farm, I had many illusions (错误的观念) about rural life. What could possibly be easier than feeding and grooming (照看) some animals? After I had settled into my new home, however, I realized that farm work was much more involved than I had expected. Collecting manure (肥料), for example, doesn't seem so bad when someone else does it on TV, but I had to get up before dawn every day to finish that chore before catching the bus to school.I don't mean to say that my life on the farm was a bad experience. I learned a lot about myself: for example, I'm not a morning person. I also learned about llamas' habits, such as spitting (吐唾沫) when they are unhappy. Most importan tly, my mother and I got to spend a lot of time together during those years. Although I doubt I'll have a career in farming,I look forward to returning to the family farm for short visits.14. Why did the author's great-grandfather want to raise llamas?A. To please his grandchildren.B. To learn about their habits.C. To save their lives.D. To make more money.15. What did the author imagine rural life would be like?A. It would be boring and tiring.B. It would involve lots of laborers.C. It would be very easy and relaxing.D. It would be the same as what was shown on TV.16. How did the author feel about his life on his mother's farm?A. He was bored.B. He was grateful.C. He was excited.D. He was disappointed.17. What would be the best title for the text?A. Returning to a familyB. Living in a big familyC. My experience on a farmD. Working on a traditional farmCYou can’t imagine what happened to Heidemarie Schwermer' 22 years ago, when she was a middle-aged teacher breaking away from a difficult marriage, took her two children and moved to the city of Dortmund, in Germany's Ruhr area.One of the first things she noticed was the large number of homeless people，and this shocked her so much that she decided to actually do something about it. She had always believed the homeless didn't need actual money to be accepted back into society, they only need a chance to make themselves useful, so she opened a shop called “Give and Take”．It was a place where anyone could trade stuff(材料，物资) and skills for other things and skills they needed. The idea didn’t really attract many of Dortmund’s homeless people. Instead, her small shop was popular with many of the city's unemployed folk who were eager to trade their skills and old stuff for something they needed.Heidemarie Schwermer's hop eventually became somewhat of a phenomenon in Dortmund and even caused its creator to ask herself some questions about the life she was living. She started to realize she was living with a lot of stuff she didn't really need and decided not to buy anything else without giving something away.By 1995, the shop had changed her life so much that she was spendingalmost nothing, as everything she needed seemed to find its way into her life. So in 1996, she took the biggest decision of her life: to live without money. Her children had moved out so she sold the apartment in Dortmund and decided to live nomadically(流浪地), trading things and services for everything she needed. It was supposed to be a 12¬month experiment, b ut she found herself loving it so much that she just couldn't give it up.15 years later, she still lives according to the principles of Give and Take, doing various chores for accommodation(膳宿) and loving every minute of it.18. What is Heidemarie Schwermer's unbelievable story about?A．A strong woman who brought up two young children.B．A generous woman who helped the homeless people.C．A smart woman who opened a shop independently.D．A special woman who has given up using money for 15 years.19. Schwermer thought what the homeless actually needed was________. A．donations to improve their lives B．chances to show their abilitiesC．money to buy necessities D．houses to live in20. What effect did Schwermer's shop eventually bring about?A．The increase of the employment rate. B．Her children's dissatisfaction.C．Huge profits and fame. D．The change of her lifestyle.21 In which year did Schwermer finally decide to live her life without money? A．In 1996. B．In 1995. C．In 1989. D．In 2011.History tells us that footwear was one of the first things ancient people learned to make. Footwear helped them across rocky paths or hot sands without injuring themselves. The earliest footwear we know of was simply a piece of plaited (编织的) grass or leather tied to the feet.The ancient Egyptians seem to haveinvented the first footwear with a firm sole(鞋底) —sandals. Egyptian royaltyusually wore sandals that had a different style from those with lesser status (身份), while slaves were not allowed to wear anything on their feet. The sandal is still the basic form of footwear in many countries, particularly those with a hot climate, whereas in cold climates, an entirely different type of shoe appeared — the moccasin —a slipper-shaped shoe made of soft but strong leather.The Greeks were the first to develop shoes with heels (鞋跟). Then, in the Middle Ages, shoes with long points at the toe became very chic for the nobility(贵族). These shoes were often very difficult to wear. Other trends followed, with square-toed shoes, wide shoes, and even shoes that could make a woman stand two feet taller. Not surprisingly, these sometimes led to accidents. Even today, fashion rather than comfort often leads to the kind of shoes women wear.Mechanical shoemaking appeared in the1800s in North America. Until then, shoes hadbeen made with the same kinds of hand tools used by the ancient Egyptians. And in 1858, a machine was invented that could stitch (缝合) the sole of a shoe to the upper part. Now it was possibleto make shoes that were shaped to fit either the left or right foot. Toward the end of the 1800s came a new type of shoe that was specifically designed for sports — the sneaker — and it soon become an all-time favorite.22. What did shoes often show in ancient times?A. The rich resources.B. People's status in society.C. People's different beliefs.D. The changeable climates.23. What does the underlined word “chic” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Fashionable.B. Convenient.C. Valuable.D. Comfortable.24. Before mechanical shoemaking appeared, _____.A. shoes were often very difficult for people to wearB. all the shoe patterns made by the Greeks were the sameC. the only function of footwear was to protect people's feetD. people wore the same-shaped shoes on their two feet25. How does the text mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.第二节：七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
