Grammar and V ocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and r the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank4/ 22A well-known landscape photographerAlexander Henderson was born in Scotland in 1831 and was the son of a successful merchant. He spent much of his childhood (21)_______ (play) on the beach or fishing in the streams nearby. In 1849 he began a three-year apprenticeship to become an accountant. Although he never liked the prospect of a business career, he stayed with it (22)_______ (please) his family.Learning photography in Montreal around the year 1857, Henderson quickly took (23) _______ up as a serious amateur. Later, he became a personal friend and colleague of the Scottish Canadian photographer William Notman. (24)_______ their friendship, their styles of photography were quite different. While Notman's landscapes (25) _______ (note) for their bold realism, Henderson for the first 20 years of his career produced romantic images (26)_______ _______ _______ he published his first major collection of landscape photographs in 1865, he gained great fame for reflecting the romantic British landscape tradition in his works. The publication had limited circulation (only seven copies have ever been found), where the contents of each copy (27)_______(vary) significantly and proved a useful source for evaluating Henderson's early work.In 1866, he gave up his business to open a photographic studio, (28) _______ (advertise) himself as portrait and landscape photographer. From about 1870 he dropped portraiture to specialize in landscape photography and other views. His numerous photographs of city life (29)_______ (reveal) in street scenes, houses, and markets are alive with human activity. There was sufficient demand for these types of scenes and others he took depicting the pearl trade, steamboats and waterfalls to enable him to make a living.In 1892 Henderson accepted a full-time position with the CPR as manager of a photographic department (30)_______ he was to set up and administer. That summer he made his trip west, photographing extensively along the railway line as far as Victoria. He continued in this post until 1897, when he retired completely from photography.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can5/ 22be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Mars -- the next frontierIt sounds like something from the fields of science fiction--a space expedition into the vast 31_______ of space, heading towards the Red Planet. While we're not quite ready to put a person on land, the question we ask today is: why are so many countries interested in going to Mars?The space race saw the USA and USSR 32_______ to achieve firsts in spaceflight. The Soviet Union released Sputnik 1, an artificial satellite, before anyone else, and the US landed on the Moon first. Now it appears that Mars is the celestial body of desire. While the honour of being the first nation to touchdown is an obvious 33_______ , there are other reasons we want to get there.One of these could be the 34_______ of our species You only have to look at the fossilised remains of the dinosaurs to see the benefit of finding another 35_______ planet. While Mars doesn't have the right conditions to call it home just yet, there's always the idea of terraforming-- changing the environment of a planet to 36_______ our needs to live.However, not everyone agrees. Leading astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has said the 37_______of altering habitability of another planet because of the damage we have done to Earth is not 38_______ when we can simply terraform Earth.It seems he main reason at the moment is the search for signs of life. It has long been believed that, at one time, Mars was abundant with life. Now seemingly dead, the 39_______ fossils could answer questions about our own evolution and that of our planet. One theory is that bacterial life on our planet didn't start here, but was transferred via asteroid (小行星) from Mars.One benefit 40_______ by scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson is that landing on Mars may inspire more people to become interested in science and astronomy. Surely6/ 22inspiring a new generation to visit the stars is reason enough.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Moral sentiments countOrganizations and societies rely on fines and rewards to control people's self-interest in the service of the common good. The 41_______ of a ticket keeps drivers in line, and the promise of a bonus inspires high performance. But incentives (激励) can also 42_______, minifying the very behavior they're meant to encourage.A generation ago, Richard Titmuss claimed that paying people to donate blood43 _______ the supply. Economists were skeptical, citing a lack of scientific evidence. But since then, new data and models have prompted a sea change in how economists think about incentives--showing, among other things, that Titmuss was right in so many cases that businesses should 44_______.Experimental economists have found that offering to pay women for donating blood decreases the number willing to donate by almost half, and that letting them contribute the payment to charity 45_______ the effect. Dozens of recent experiments show that rewarding self-interest with economic incentives can have the opposite result when they destroy what Adam Smith called "the moral sentiments(情绪)”. The psychology here has escaped blackboard economists, but it will be no surprise to people in business: When we take a job or buy a car, we are not only trying to get stuff-- we are also trying to be a certain kind of person. 46_______ , people desire to be respected by others as ethical and 47_______. And they don't want to be taken for losers. Rewarding blood donations may not serve the intended purpose because it suggests that the donor is less interested in being 48_______ than in making a dollar. Incentives also run into trouble when they signal that the employer 49_______ the employee or is greedy. Close supervision of workers coupled with 50_______ for performance is textbook economics, but it can lead to the depression of employees.7/ 22Perhaps most important, incentives affect what our actions signal, whether we're being self-interested or civic-minded, manipulated or trusted and they can imply--sometimes wrongly--what 51_______ us. Fines or public criticism that appeal to our moral sentiments by signaling social disapproval (think of littering) can be highly effective. But incentives go wrong when they 52_______ or diminish our ethical sensibilities.This does not mean it's 53_______ to appeal to self-interested and ethical motivations at the same time--just that efforts to do so often fail. 54_______ , policies support socially valued ends not only by controlling self-interest but also by encouraging public-spiritedness. The small tax on plastic grocery bags passed by law in Ireland in 2002 that resulted in their virtual elimination appears to have had such an effect. It punished offenders 55_______ while conveying a moral message. Carrying a plastic bag joined wearing a fur coat in the gallery of anti-social anachronisms.41. A.temptation B.threat C.value D.equivalent42. A. overflow B.backfire C. survive D. work43. A.reduced B. affected C. afforded D.balanced44. A. cut back B. stand by C. take note D. hold on45. A.cause B. reverse C. take D. detect46. A. In other words B. On the contrary C. By contrast D. In addition47 A. satisfied B.determined C. dignified D.discouraged48. A. unselfish B. ambitious C. thoughtful D. aggressive49. A. boasts B. values C. encourages D. mistrusts50. A. requirement B. criticism C. implication D. reward51. A. supports B. threatens C. motivates D.changes52.A.refine B. offend C.control D. arouse53. A. impossible B.strange C. necessary D. abnormal54. A. Rarely B. Occasionally C. Surprisingly D.Ideally8/ 2255. A. publicly B.severely C. monetarily D. mildlySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Wonder materialMaurice Ward and his family ran ladies' hairdresser’s in Yorkshire, England. Ward was an inventor by nature and liked to mix his own hair dyes and products, claiming that they were more effective than the products supplied by cosmetics manufacturers like L'Oreal and Garnier. In the 1980s his inventiveness found a new outlet when he bought an industrial extruder--a machine that forms plastics-and began experimenting with making different types of sheet plastic. Then in 1985 something happened which was to change his life.A British Airtours plane bound for Corfu caught fire at Manchester Airport just before it took off. Although the plane was still on the ground, the results of the fire were destructive within forty seconds, 55 of the people inside died from smoke and poisonous air breathed in. Ward determined that he would make a material that would be much more fire-resistant than the plastics from which the interior was largely constructed. He began trying out different mixtures in a kitchen food blender. When he found a formulation that looked promising, he would shape it into sheet form and then test its fire resistance. The results got better and better until finally he hit on a material that would resist temperatures of 2, 500 C, not give off poisonous air and still remain cool enough to be touched. Starlite was bornYet here we are, thirty years on, and Starlite is still an unpatented and unexploited material. So what went wrong?Naturally, Ward kept the formula a secret. He never wrote it down, only telling the exact proportions of its 21 ingredients to a few of his closest family members. He refused to apply for a patent, since that would involve revealing its composition. No9/ 22one else was allowed to analyse it nor was any company given a sample for fear that they might reverse-engineer it.Consequently, no deal was ever struck and in May 2011 Maurice Ward died. It would be incorrect to say that he took his secret to the grave because some of the family still know it, but he certainly took his own dreams of personal wealth and fame with him. Why? Was it greed? Was it that, as an amateur, he felt a lack of respect from the scientific community? Or was he simply too protective of his idea to share it with others? We may never know. What is certain is that his loss is the world’s loss, too.56. What can we most probably infer about Maurice Ward according to the passage?A. He preferred fame to money.B.He was born with a creative spirit.C. He opposed established institutions.D. He got his genius partly from his parents.57. How did Ward develop Starlite?A. He converted it in the kitchen food blender.B. He found the material from the interior of planes.C. He got inspiration from the hair dyes and products.D. He experimented with materials and examined their fire-resistance.58. Which of the following statements about Starlite is TRUE?A. Its secret died with Maurice Ward.B. It gets warmer than plastics when heated.C. It could have brought Maurice great wealth.D. Some company reverse-engineered it without permission.59. We can learn from the passage that _______ .A. Innovation requires lots of efforts and deserves protection10/ 22B. The protectiveness of an invention may cause the world great losses.C. The big companies' ill intentions are to blame for the loss of Starlite.D. The neglect of talented people may cost the world valuable discoveries.(B)Things you need to know about your STRESS right nowAfter 60 years of research, scientists have determined what provokes stress. There's even a handy acronym: NUTS.N is for Novelty: This is something new you've not experienced before, like the first day of school or a new job.U is for Unpredictability: When you don't know how something is going to take shape, as is the case during a trip to the dentist.T is for Threat to the Ego: When your competence is threatened, such as in front of colleagues. We're very sensitive to this.S is for Sense of Control: When you feel you have little or no control over the situation, like being stuck in traffic.It's helpful to identify your sources of stress, because a problem well-defined is a problem almost solved. The opposite of stress is not relaxation---it's resilience. If you tell your brain that you can deal with this, it will stop producing the stress hormone and you will calm down11/ 22Get on your bike!As various bits of research have shown, cycling will lower your stress levels, whether you're doing a quick errand or committing to a lifetime on two wheels.15 MINUTES LATERA 2013 study out of Japan showed a marked drop in people's stress levels after they pedalled for just 15 minutes on a stationary bike.AN HOUR LATERResearchers found in 2015 that, compared to their cycling colleagues, those who drove or took the subway breathed more shallowly an hour later---a sure sign of stress.18 YEARS LATERAfter following 17,985 adult commuters for 18 years, U.K. researchers discovered in 2014 that those who walked or biked reported being happier, more confident and better able to face their problems.①____________In a 2015 study, researchers subjected 66 teen girls to a stress test. Some of them held their mothers' hands during the test; others had to go it alone. The girls who hadcontact with their moms were able to manage stress more effectively. It's what psychologists refer to as emotional load sharing.②____________In a 2007 UCLA study, some patients hospitalized for heart failure spent 12 minutes with a therapy dog, while another group interacted with a volunteer. The dogcrowd experienced greater decreases in their anxiety level compared to those patients whose visitors could actually talk back.60. __________---may suffer the most stress relatively.A. Luna, 19--she has well prepared for her first internship with the help of her mother12/ 22B. Tom, 29-his first day of work starts at 9: 00 am, but he's in a traffic jam at 8: 50 amC. Karol, 39-she finally had her decayed tooth pulled out last Thursday at the dentist'sD. Jenny, 49-her colleagues are planning to give her a farewell party and she's in the dark61. Which chart can best illustrate the effect of cycling ?A BC D62. Which of the following may best suit the numbered blanks?A. ①Raise your hand! ②Find a volunteer companion!B. ①Raise your hand! ②Get a furry companion!C.①Hug your family! ②Get furry companion!D. ①Hug your family! ②Find a volunteer companion!13/ 22(C)Bretton Woods revisitedOn July 22, 1944, as allied troops were racing across Normandy to liberate Paris, representatives of 44 nations meeting at the Mount Washington resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, created a financial and monetary system for the postwar era, referred to as Bretton Woods system.John Maynard Keynes, leader of the British delegation, was playing a tricky dual role. He had proposed a new monetary system to free the world from the Great Depression. He hoped that the new monetary system, would be the international pillar for the series of domestic measures that came to be known as Keynesian---the use of public spending to cure depression and the regulation of financial markets to prevent downturns caused by failed private financial investments. Keynes was also hoping to restore Britain's prewar position as a leading industrial and financial power. His two roles overlapped, but far from perfectly The Americans shared the British desire to restore world growth, but not to preserve Britain's empire.Keynes wrote to his colleague after the conference that in the new International Monetary Fund, "we have in truth got both in substance and in phrasing all that we could reasonably hope for. "The new World Bank, Keynes declared, offered "grand possibilities. .. The Americans are virtually committing themselves to quite huge untied loans for reconstruction and development.Yet in many respects, Bretton Woods was failure for Keynes and the British. America today is often described as the only surviving superpower, but in 1944 U.S. supremacy was towering. Germany and Japan were on the edge of ruin. Britain had gone massively into debt. The Russians had lost tens of millions of soldiers and civilians. America was unharmed, its casualties were modest by comparison, it held most of the world's financial reserves, and its industrial plant was mightier than ever.Though Keynes inspired Bretton Woods, the Americans won the day. In most matters, a rival design by Keynes's American counterpart, Harry Dexter White, prevailed. White, a left-wing New Dealer serving as No. 2 man at the Department of Treasury, shared Keynes's basic views on money. But the White plan provided a far more modest fund and bank. Instead of the generous extension of wartime lend-lease14/ 22aid that Keynes was promoting, the British had to settle for an American loan, to be repaid with interestThe Bretton Woods system was welcomed as a vast improvement over both the rigid gold standard of pre-1914 and the monetary disorder of the interwar period. For a quarter-century, Bretton Woods enhanced a rare period of steady growth, full employment, and financial stability. But in many respects, the boastful role of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Bretton Woods rules specifying fixed exchange rates was a convenient illusion. The system's true pillar was the United States the U.S. dollar as global currency; the U.S. economy as the consumer market for other nations' exports; and U.S. recovery aid in the form of the Marshall Plan, which dwarfed the function of the World Bank.In the early 1970s, the Bretton Woods system came crashing down when domestic inflation forced the United States to devalue its own currency and cease playing the dominant role. Monetary instability and slower growth followed.63. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?A. Keynes was satisfied with the outcome of the conference.B. Keynes further explained the idea of monetary reform he presented.C. Keynes emphasized the importance of having a new World Bank.D. Keynes pointed out the important role America played in postwar era.64. According to the passage, Keynes and White had different views on_____.A. the roles of US and Britain in postwar eraB. the basic principles related to loansC. the timing and target of giving fundD. the interest rate British banks should offer65. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?A. The Bretton Woods system improved the rigid gold standard of the interwar periodB. International Monetary Fund dominated the world market in many fields.15/ 22C. The Bretton Woods system largely depended on the US economic success.D. Many countries received financial aid from the World Bank66. The passage is mainly about _____.A. the role of economy in the postwar eraB. two types of postwar diplomacy and their resultsC. an individual's contribution to the postwar worldD. the development of a financial system and its impact(D)The myth of short-term memoryShort-term memory contains the contents of your thoughts right now, including what you intend to do in the next few seconds 67________ You may think about what you'll say next in a conversation or walk to the hall closet with the intention of getting a pair of gloves.Short-term memory is easily disturbed or disrupted. 68________ You do this by thinking about them, perhaps repeating them over and over again ("I'm going to the closet to get gloves") But any distraction a new thought, someone asking you a16/ 22question, the telephone ringing---can disrupt short-term memory. Our ability to automatically restore the contents of the short-term lightly with every decade after 30.69________ I've been teaching undergraduates for my entire career and can attest that even 20-year-olds make short-term memory errors--loads of them. They walk into the wrong classrooms; they show up to exams without the requisite No. 2 pencil they forget something I just said 2 minutes before. These are similar to the kinds of things 70-year-olds do.The relevant difference is not age but rather how we describe these events, the stories we tell ourselves about them. Twenty-year-olds don't think, "Oh dear, this must be early-onset brain damage.” They think, “ I really need to get more than four hours of sleep."The 70-year-old observes these same events and worries about her brain health. This is not to say that brain damage related memory impairments are fiction.70________ In the absence of brain disease, even the oldest older adults show little or no cognitive memory decline beyond the age 85 and 90.Section CDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Domestic interest rates are often______ as a major factor affecting exchange rates.75.

2020-2021学年上海华二(紫竹)高三英语下学期3月考试卷及答案
2021华二（紫竹）高三英语下学期3月考试卷II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20分)Section ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Tweenbots are human-dependent cardboard robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination (21) (display) on a flag and rely on passer-by they come across to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal.I walked out to Washington Square Park on a sunny summer day, (22) (place) my first Tweenbot on the sidewalk, and walked away. From a distance, I observed as the Tweenbot––a smiling 10-inch tall cardboard missionary––bumped along towards his inevitable fate.It was incredible.(23) _______ a Tweenbot got caught under a park bench, ground repeatedly against a curb, or became trapped in a pothole, some passer-by would always rescue it and send it toward its goal. Never once (24) a Tweenbot lost or damaged. Often, people would ignore the instructions to aim the Tweenbot in the "right" direction, if that direction meant (25) (send) the robot into a dangerous situation. One man turned the robot back in the direction (26) _______ it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, "You can’t go that way, it’s toward the road."The Tweenbot’s unexpected presence in the city created an unfolding narrative that speaks to the power of a simple technological object (27) (create) a complex network powered by human intelligence and asynchronous(非同时发生的) interactions. The journey (28) take becomes a story of people's willingness to engage with a creature that mirrors human characteristics of being easily harmed, of being lost, and of having intention (29) the means of achieving its goal alone.(30) each encounter with an empathetic(有同感的) pedestrian takes a Tweenbot one step closer to reaching its destination, the significance of our random discoveries and individual actions builds up into a story about a vast space made small by an even smaller robot.Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the passage with the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Narrowing the Gap between College Degrees and Practical Skills Getting a university degree has never seemed more important: college graduates earn more money, live longer, and are happier. But college degrees are expensive (especially in the US), 31 focused(especially in the UK), and often fail to build the skills employers want (true in most countries).A new university in the UK wants to change that.The London Interdisciplinary School (LIS), which will 32 . in 2021 with a target of 100 students, will scrap traditional academic subjects and offer a three-year bachelor of arts and sciences degree designed to 33 real-world issues. The 34 is built around interdisciplinary problems-knife crime, childhood obesity, palm oil in supply chains, plastic pollution----as well as quantitative and qualitative research skills. Employers like the Met Police, Innocent, and Virgin will provide project ideas and offer five-week work experience for students.The idea is similar to a US liberal arts degree (a rarity in the UK) but also more explicitly focused on "interdisciplinarity, "or drawing on 35 subjects-economics, psychology, sociology, statistics-to solve 36 problems like childhood obesity. In other words, the problem, not the subject, sits at the center of the curriculum. The skills students develop, the founders hope, will more closely agree with what an Al-infused, automated world demands: 37 between people and machines, critical thinking, speaking and writing skills, and data management, to name just a few things.Students will tackle problems through various disciplines: knife crime, for example, by understanding cultural and socioeconomic factors in different neighborhoods, data science, statistics, publicly 38 data, an economics or psychology lens.In the UK, students apply through a central clearinghouse, and exam results are of primary importance. At LIS, students will instead apply 39 and all will be invited to a"selection day" which will include a face-to-face interview so that LIS can understand a students' background，motivations, and passions. Interviews will be conducted by a panel to minimize bias. Conditional offers will be 40 based on personal background, circumstances and, also, grades.III. Reading Comprehension (45 分）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word of phrase that best fits the context.Reading award-winning literature may boost your ability to read other people, a new study suggests. Researchers at the New School for Social Research found that when they had volunteers read works of acclaimed(受到称赞的) “literary fiction”, it seemed to temporarily improve their ability to (41)________ other people's emotions. The same was not (42)________ of nonfiction or “popular" fiction, the mystery, romance and science fiction books that often dominate bestseller lists.Researchers (43)________ a series of five experiments which participants read either literary fiction, popular fiction, nonfiction or nothing at all before taking some standard tests. One of the tests is known as "Reading the Mind in the Eyes”. People have to look at photos of actors’ eyes, and then guess what emotion is being expressed in each. The test is considered a(n) (44)________ of empathy. Overall, study participants scored better after reading literary fiction, versus the other three (45)________.It was a(n) (46)________ improvement, according to the principal researcher David Comer Kidd, "It's not like taking people from a ‘C' to an ‘A' ," he said. But, Kidd added, the effect was seen after only about 10 minutes’ reading, and it was a statistically strong finding, mean ing it's unlikely to have been due to (47)________.What's so (48)________ about literary fiction? It's usually more focused on character than on plot. There is usually no single "dominant narrator" who takes readers through the story. It (49)________ that the readers should think about the characters and fill in the gaps. The author doesn't tell you what to think. Readers have to make (50)________ about characters. And that's often what people are doing in the real-life conversations."This is great study!" said Raymond Mar, an associate professor of psychology at York University, who was not involved in the new study. (51)________, he added that the overall research in this area is "still in its infancy" and one key question is whether literary fiction really (52)________ other types of fiction. So, it's too early to tell people to (53)________ their romance novel for Nobel literature, at least if the goal is boosting empathy.But it is (54)________ that the findings suggest literature is important beyond entertainment or improving vocabulary. “There’s a common belief that reading literature is frivolous(可笑的), or not practical,” Mar said. “But there's a growing body of evidence that it's important in (55)________ that we need in our lives.”41. A. evaluate B. manage C. spell D. interpret42. A. true B. successful C. critical D. compulsory43. A. participated in B. went through C. set up D. compared to44.

A. conversations B. moods C. skills D. innovationsSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There are few situations more unpleasant than a television presenter trying to hang on to a job. When one of the presenters of the BBC program Crimewatch resigned recently, rather than suffer the inevitable indignity of being unfinished and replaced by a younger version, he made the usual hurt noises about his masters’ overemphasis on youth. People in the media listened sympathetically before he slid from view to join the ranks of television’s has-beens.The presenter’s argument, that the viewers don’t care how old you are so long as you can “do the job,” unfortunately is not backed up by the evidence. When you're on TV, viewers are always thinking about whether you're losing your hair or your figure and, lately, whether you've had cosmetic work done. This is what they’re actually doing when you think they’re listening to the wise things you say. Viewers actually don't understand much of what the job involves, they just see you sitting there looking the part. Like the ability to pat one’s head while rubbing one's stomach, TV presenting is just one of those skills. Some of those who possess this skill can hit the big name. inevitablyas they become more attached to the lifestyle this brings, however, the more likely they are to overstate the skill.In reality，if somebody is paying you a lot of money to do a job，it's often on the tacit(心照不宣的)understanding that you may be fired suddenly---it's part of the deal. Unlike football managers, TV presenters pretend not to understand this. If they’ve had many years being paid silly sums to read a script from an autocue(自动题词机)，it's difficult for them to accept that they³ve been the beneficiary of good fortune rather than anything else; even harder to face the fact that an editor could all too easily send them to the shopping channels.Something similar eventually awaits all the people who are currently making fortunes that would have been unimaginable to earlier generations of presenters. One day we'll decide that their face no longer fits and they³ll be dragged away complaining about the same ageist policy from which they no doubt previously profited. Show business is a brutal(残忍的)business. The one thing it reliably punishes is age, particularly among women. That's why, at the age of fifty, female TV presenters become female radio presenters and why girl bands planning to re-form need to get it done before they're forty, after which it will get too hard for everyone to suspend their collective disbelief.56. What does the writer imply about the Crimewatch presenter he mentions in the first paragraph?A. He was unwise to resign when he did.B. He will soon be forgotten by the viewers.C. He may well have had a valid point to make.D. He was treated insensitively by his employers.57. The underlined pronoun “this" in paragraph 2 refers to .A. a public imageB. a level of successC. an overstatementD. a common misunderstanding58. Why does the writer mention football managers in paragraph 3?A. To support his view that presenters are overpaid.B. To stress how important luck is in certain occupations.C. To show how relatively secure TV presenters are in their jobs.D. To illustrate a general rule that applies to certain types of job.59. According to the writer, TV personalities who may worry about ageism .A. should look for work in other forms of broadcastingB. may have benefited from it themselves at some pointC. are less well respected than presenters of the pastD. are being unfair to up-and-coming younger colleagues(B)60.In Fabric &Styles, which item leaves you with the latest personal choice?A.FabricB. Fly StyleC. Pocket StyleD. Thread Color61.According to the passage, which of the following statements is True?A.The tailor will meet all the requirements on your jeans on condition that you state every detail clearly in your order.B.If the order with wrong measurements has already been processed, nothing can be done tofix the situation.C.Before payment. you'd better check your order in detail and can still make modifications ifnecessary.D. You will have to wash your jeans upon receipt, because they don't fit perfectly until theyshrink a little after washing.62. If you place an overseas order with full payments by PayPal on October 12, you will receiveyour jeans no later than______.A. Oct. 21B. Oct. 26C. Nov.16D.Nov.20（C）Students of United States history, seeking to identify the circumstances that encouraged the emergence of feminist(女权主义者) movements, have thoroughly investigated the mid-nineteenth-century American economic and social conditions that affected the status of women. These historians, however, have analyzed less fully the development of specifically feminist ideas and activities during the same period. Furthermore, the ideological origins of feminism in the United States have been obscured because, even when historians did take into account those feminist ideas and activities occurring within the United States, they failed to recognize that feminism was then a truly international movement actually centered in Europe. American feminist activists who have been described as “solitary” and “individual theorists” were in reality connected to a movement utopian socialism--which was already popularizing feminist ideas in Europe during the two decades that culminated(到达顶峰) in the first women’s rights conference held at Seneca Falls. New York, in 1848. Thus, a complete understanding of the origins and development of nineteenth-century feminism in the United States requires that the geographical focus be widened to include Europe and that the detailed study already made of social conditions be expanded to include the ideological development of feminism.The earliest and most popular of the utopian socialists were the Saint-Simonians. The specifically feminist part of Saint-Simoniamism has, however, been less studied than the group’s contribution to early socialism. This is regrettable on two counts. By 1832 feminism was the central concern of Saint-Simonianism and entirely absorbed itsadherents’ energy; hence, by ignoring its feminism. European historians have misunderstood Saint-Simonianism. Moreover, since many feminist ideas can be traced to Saint-Simonianism, European historians’ appreciation of later feminism in France and the United States remained limited.Saint-Simon's followers, many of whom were women, based their feminism on an interpretation of his project to reorganize the globe by replacing brute force with the rule of spiritual powers. The new world order would be ruled together by a male, to represent reflection, and a female, to represent sentiment. This complementarity reflects the fact that, while the Saint-Simonians did not reject the belief that there were innate differences between men and women, they nevertheless foresaw an equally important social and political role for both sexes in their Utopia.Only a few Saint-Simonians opposed a definition of sexual equality based on gender distinction. This minority believed that individuals of both sexes were born similar in capacity and character, and they owed male-female differences to socialization and education. The envisioned result of both currents of thought, however, was that women would enter public life in the new age and that sexual equality would reward men as well as women with an improved way of life.63. It can be inferred that the author considers those historians who describe early feminists in the United States as“solitary” to be______________.A. insufficiently familiar with the international origins of nineteenth-century American feminist thoughtB. overly concerned with the regional diversity of feminist ideas in the period before 1848C. not focused narrowly enough in their geo-graphical scopeD. insufficiently aware of the ideological consequence of the Seneca Falls conference64. According to the passage, which of the following is true of the Seneca Falls conference on women’s rights?A. It was primarily a product of nineteenth-century Saint-Simonian feminist thought.B. It was the work of American activists who were independent of feminists abroadC. It was the culminating achievement of the Utopian socialist movement.D. It was a manifestation of an international movement for social change and feminism65.It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes that study of Saint-Simonianism is necessary for.historians of American feminism because such study______________.A. would clarify the ideological origins of those feminist ideas that influenced American feminismB. would increase understanding of a movement that deeply influenced the Utopian socialism of early American.feministsC. would focus attention on the most important aspect of Saint-Simonian thought before 1832D. promises to offer insight into a movement that was a direct outgrowth of the Seneca Falls conference of 184866. According to the passage, which of the following would be the most accurate description of the society.envisioned by most Saint-Simonians?A. A society in which women were highly regarded for their extensive educationB. A society in which the two genders played complementary roles and had equal statusC. A society in which women did not enter public lifeD. A social order in which body of men and women would rule together on the basis of their spiritual power Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.How to improve efficiency when working at home?Distinguish between work and home modeOne of the biggest merits about working from home - slowly moving from bed to the sofa five minutes before you start - can also be your biggest challenge, says Eyre-White.Don’t forget that you are there to work ——(67)______________ “Switch from home to work mode,” she says, by having something you physically do to “flip the switch”.“Maybe it’s walking round the block, making a special kind of tea, or lighting a candle at your desk. It doesn’t matter what it is but do it without fail to create a strong association in your mind,” she says.Be realistic about what you can achieve“A wide, open day working from home can feel full of possibilities. 145 things on the to do list? No problem! Don't fall into the trap of being over-ambitious," says Eyre-White. Instead, she recommends being realistic and then possibly achieving more than you set out to; and feeling satisfied, rather than feeling disappointed you didn't do everything.She suggests choosing three to five things to do and aim to get the majority done before lunch.“(68)______________” she recommends.Work in short burstsIn the office your day is broken up by everything from meetings to water-cooler chats, lunch breaks and even toilet breaks, but when you are sat at home on your own with no face-to-face interaction planned it can be easy to just work for long, unbroken periods.“(69)_____________ Although this can be frustrating, they divide the day up and create natural chunks of time,” explains Eyre-White. “In contrast, a day at home can be very unstructured.”In order to be productive, she recommends imposing stricture on yourself. For example, working in 45-60 minute chunks of focused work followed by a short break.” This can be an effective way to break the day up and maintain your concentration levels,” she says.Manage distractionsBeing in an office gives us a limited number of ways to get distracted but when you start working in a new environment (especially a very familiar one) it can be easy to let yourself get distracted.“(70)_________________” says Byre-White. “So proactively manage things which might interrupt your focus.” She explains: “Keep them limited to short breaks in between chunks of focused work. A change of scene is all we need to give our brain a break, and it’s the perfect time to put a load of washing on or empty the dishwasher.”V.

If you haven’t, you should have.It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one perso n or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can ment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them.Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutioniz ed Internet publishing in the last sever al years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to bee an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as im portant as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business munications.56. A blog is .A. a mentB. an Internet journalC. a designD. a link57. A person can do the following things in a blog EXCEPT _______.A. talk to othersB. give mentsC. read articlesD. enjoy photos58. Who is a blogger?A. A person who posts letters.B. A person who writes articles.C. A person who posts text or photos in a blog.D. A person who is an online publisher.59. From the passage we know that .A. Bill Gates will invent some tools for blogsB. blogs will be an important business munication tool in the futureC. so far, only a few persons have created blogsD. blogs will replace e-mail, BBS and MSN in the future60. According to the passage, the reason why blogs are so popular is that they ____.A. give everyone the chance to be an online writerB. can be created by people without much knowledge of puter technologyC. enable a blogger to place news, personal thoughts, text and photos and give mentsD. all of the above（B）Some people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues (组织) in the immediate area are burned up. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too.Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. However, studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. Within 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish (重建) the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within 5 minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five mi nutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn’t be beating loudly, and you shouldn’t be tired.61. If you want to reduce the fat around your waist, you should ____.A. do stomach exerciseB. exercise the waistC. exercise all the muscles of your bodyD. run fast for 30 minutes62.. From the second paragraph, we learn that ____.A. we only need to exercise twice a weekB. we should exercise three times a weekC. muscles lose their strength after 48 hoursD. we should exercise every other day, or three days a week63.. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _________ .A. you will lose more weight running one hour than walking one hourB. whether you run one mile or walk the same distance, you use the same amount of energyC. you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distanceD. both A and B64.. If you have exercised too much, _______.A. your breathing will take longer than 5 minutes to return to normal after you finish exercisingB. your breathing will return to normal within 5 minutes after finishing exercisingC. your heart will not be beating loudlyD. you will be too tired to move65. This passage tells us that _________.A. it is better to do more running than walkingB. the more exercise you do, the healthier you will beC. the unexercised muscles must be used again within 48 to 72 hoursD. in order to lose weight, you have to run fast（C）We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. Sometimes a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this causes your troubles to begin. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, destroying your half-prepared meal. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this is not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives home, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.Things can also go wrong on the road. During rush hour one evening two cars collided and the drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to b e a learner. She got into a panic and stopped her car. This forced the driver following her to stop suddenly. This driver’s wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake, and as she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road. A truck driver seeing a cake flying through the air slammed on the brakes. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck onto the road, causing a terrible traffic jam. It took the police an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves, for they were happily having what was left of the cake.66. If you want to answer the phone without a ny trouble, you’d better ___________ .A. pull out the telephone line when you are with your babyB. put your baby on the bed and keep an eye on him / herC. not hurry to answer the phoneD. make sure your baby is not near the table67. Who is responsible for the accidents that happened on the road?A. The two drivers who were arguing.B. It wasn’t mentioned in the passage.C. The woman driver.D. The truck driver.68. From this story we learn that ________.A. there are many road accidents every dayB. the accidents mentioned in the passage are very strangeC. no one knows why this kind of accident happensD. the accidents menereherhtioned in the passage are very mon69. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to ___________.A. remind us not to answer the phone when we are busyB. tell us driving is dangerous every dayC. remind us not to be nervous when we meet an accidentD. remind us not to carry a cake when we are sitting in a car70. The main idea of this passage is that ________.A. troubles always e in groupsB. accidents may happen anywhere at anytimeC. a telephone call may cause great troubleD. anyone may have trouble on their way home五．翻译短语：( 5分)71.取笑__________ 72。
湖南省永州市耀祥中学2020-2021学年高二下学期3月月考英语试卷含答案
湖南省永州市耀祥中学2020-2021学年度高二第二学期3月月考试卷英语科满分共120分考试时间120分钟第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）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。
ALike many, I felt pressure from my parents and teachers to go to university and study something academic. With top grades I received at the end of high school, I was almost able to enter any course of my pick. Yet the thought of spending the next few years facing the four walls of a classroom caused a lump(肿块) in my throat.After a year majoring in photography at university, which was not just what I expected, I made the decision to take a break and go on a gap year. In fact, I gained more knowledge in the real world in four months than I did from my entire schooling, but most importantly, I learnt so much about myself.One day, my posted photos were noticed by Topdeck Travel, and they asked if they could use some of my travel pictures for their posters. This really was the beginning of my career. I began developing my relationship with Topdeck Travel, and before long, I got my first paid travelling overseas to take photographs.Soon I reached the point where I had to make a decision—either to play it safe, go back to university and settle down like everyone else, or to follow my heart and go my own way—a path with an uncertain future. I chose the latter, and it was the scariest and best decision I have ever made.Five years after leaving school, I might not have a university degree, a well-paid job, a husband or a house with a white fence. Instead, I'm sitting at my office, with a cafe by a beach at Goa, India. As I stare past my laptop screen at the sun setting beyond the waves, a salty breeze touches my face.To me, success is about pursuing my dreams and creating my own path instead of trying to follow someone else's. Somehow, I feel like my life is exactly where it is meant to be.1.What did the author think of going to university?A.She took it seriously.B.She showed little interest.C.She looked forward to it.D.She thought it was a must.2.What benefit did the author gain from her gap year?A.The knowledge about the real world.B.Her paid overseas travel experience.C.Realising what she really wanted in her life.D.Knowing what really mattered at university.3.What can we infer about the author from the passage?A.She regrets not going back to university.B.She gets less knowledge in the real world.C.She feels quite satisfied with her present life.D.She misses the days working for Topdeck Travel.BA new report connects eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease. The results follow several earlier studies that found eating eggs was generally healthy. The study collects data from six other earlier studies. It shows a 6 percent increased risk of heart disease when the number of eggs a person ate each day increased by half an egg.Norrina Allen, an associate professor at Northwestern University said that, in the United States, eggs are generally one of the top sources of cholesterol(胆固醇) in a person’s daily food. People with higher levels of cholesterol in their food are at increased risk of the development of heart disease later in life. However, Allen added that she would not say that eggs are completely unhealthy. “I’m not saying that people should take them completely out of their food,” she said. “I’m just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount.”Some experts believe the new study does not prove that eggs are causing heart disease. “Cholesterol’s role in the development of heart disease has been discussed for more than 30 years,” said Bruemmer, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.“This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting at a single time point,” he added.Bruemmer said, “Eggs in moderation (适度) are probably acceptable from a nutritional standpoint.” “Moderation,” he added, “is less than one egg a day, including eggs in foods such as bread”.Holly Andersen, a doctor at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, agrees that the study has “real shortcomings”. On e problem Andersen has with the study is that a lot of the egg-eating people in the study also appeared to be eating much meat and processed meat. “If you’re taking a lot of processed meat, it doesn’t matter how many eggs you’re eating,” Andersen said.Als o, Andersen said, “The study can only show there is a relation between eggs eating and heart disease. But it cannot prove eggs are the cause of the disease. It may just be that people eating a lot of eggs are also taking a lot of bacon.”4.What does Norrina Allen agree with?A.Eggs are completely unhealthy.B.Eggs should be eaten in a right amount.C.Eggs contain the most cholesterol.D.Eggs have no connection with heart disease.5.What is Bruemmer’s attitude towards thestudy?A.Interested.B.Concerned.C.Doubtful.D.Hopeful.6.What can we learn from Holly Andersen’s words?A.Processed meat may cause heart disease.B.Eggs and meat cannot be eaten together.C.Processed meat should be avoided.D.The study is supported by evidence.7.What’s the best title of the text?A.Are eggs the top source of cholesterol?B.Do eggs cause heartdisease?C.What’s the proper amount of eggs eaten?D.Is the cholesterol to blame for heart disease?CJournalists are the major group of people who make their living from writing. Many young people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while developing their writing skills. Although writing for newspapers and writing for books require different qualities, the aspiration (志向) to be a great writer is not one to be discouraged in a would-be journalist.Most people want their work to be recognized by others. This helps to give it value. Some people also want themselves to be recognized, so that they have status (地位) in the eyes of society. It is not a bad motive to wish to be famous, but this must never become your main reason for being a journalist. You will not be a good journalist if you care more for impressing your audience than for serving their needs.Knowing the power of the printed or spoken word or image, some people enter journalism for the power it will give them to influence people. There is a strong belief that journalists control the mass media but the best journalists recognize their role as servants of the people. There is a difference between the desire to influence events for your own sake, and the desire to do it for other people. You should never use journalism for selfish ends, but you can use it to improve the life of other people.Curiosity is a natural part of most people’s characters and a n important ingredient for any journalist. Lots of young men and women enter the profession with the desire to know more about the world without needing to specialize in limited fields of study. Most journalists tend to know a little bit about a lot of things, rather than a lot about one subject. Knowledge has many uses. It can simply help to make you a fuller and more interesting person. It can also give you power over people, especially people who do not have that particular knowledge. Always bear in mind that power can be used in a positive way to improve people’s lives.8.What can we know from the first paragraph?A.Journalists are most likely to become great writers.B.Writing for newspapers is similar to writing for novels.C.Most of the journalists make a living by writing books.D.Journalism can be used as a means to improve writing.9.Why do some people want themselves to be recognized?A.To gain high position.B.To get great power.C.To earn much wealth.D.To learn rich knowledge.10.What is most necessary for journalists according to Paragraph 4?A.Being specialized in a certain field.B.Having a wide range of knowledge.C.Being good at making friends with others.D.Being able to speak a foreign language well.11.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The development of journalism.B.The challenges journalists face now.C.How to become a qualified journalist.D.Why people choose a career in journalism.DA clever technologist took steamboat inventions and turned them into the first commercial steamboat service.Although Robert Fulton did not invent the steamboat, as is commonly believed, he played an important role in making steamboat travel a reality. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1765. As a young man, he set out to make his name as a portrait painter. His career took him to Europe and into the orbit of people with the power to support him politically and financially.Fulton entered London society after he painted Benjamin Franklin’s portrait. While abroad, Fulton left the arts for a career in shipbuilding. He was interested in the recently-invented steam engine, and thought it could be used to power ships. Fulton’s vision was not original; many others had entered the field, and the unfortunate inventor John Fitch had built a working steamship already. But like Henry F ord, Fulton’s talent lay not in the invention but in the product’s application in the marketplace.Fulton didn’t focus entirely on the steamboat. In 1804, he tested the first submarine successfully, which he had built for the British Royal Navy. His invention would make him a celebrity upon his return to the United States two years later. Fulton’s partner Robert Livingston obtained an exclusive license for steamboat services on New York’s Hudson River. It was time for Fulton to deliver.To build an efficient, reliable steamboat, Fulton used a special English steam engine. The ship’s bottom was flat and its stern was square. The steamboat Clermont made its debut (首次亮相) on August 17, 1807, steaming up the river from New York to Albany, and it soon entered commercial services. The hilly terrain of New York made water transport faster than land transport, and Fulton’s boat —formerly known as the “North River Steamboat” — was a hit. Within five years, Fulton would be running services on six major rivers plus the Chesapeake Bay, and bring in great profits.12.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Henry Ford was as unfortunate as JohnFitch.B.Henry Ford was talented in product application.C.Fulton left the arts as he couldn’t support himself.D.Fulton was the first to create a working steamship.13.When did Fulton becomea celebrity in the United States?A.In 1804.B.In 1806.C.In 1807.D.In 1812.14.What is mentioned about Clermont?A.It operated for five years.B.It earned Fault much money.C.It had an American steam engine.D.It was not accepted by people at first.15.What’s the best title of the text?A.Robert Fulton and his SteamboatB.Robert Fulton: A Great InventorC.Steamboats Changing Water TransportD.The History of Commercial Steamboats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。

However, after we had been stuck in traffic for more than four hours, one of my sisters proposed going back to the city as a last attempt to save whatever remained of the day. A quick online search revealed other must-visit spots around Shillong. Most were familiar, but one caught our attention — Nartiang with its mysterious monoliths(独石碑). The photo showed tall stones piled together in a strange formation, appealing to us to explore further despite the lack of details provided.That is how I found myself standing in the shadow of the huge monoliths of Nartiang, which is home to the thickest and largest collection in the region. Curious to uncover their history, I approached Мaryo Symblai, a village elder I met later that day, who told me the story of the monoliths that has been orally passed down over generations. She said, “Back in the day, Nartiang didn’t have a bazaar(集市) and the nearest one was at Raliang. On one such bazaar, a giant named Mar Phalyngki was caught in heavy rain on his way back. He requested to borrow an umbrella from the Raliang chief’s youngest daughter, but she wanted to test his legendary strength instead. ‘Why don’t you go lift that huge stone in the bazaar and use it as an umbrella?’ she said dismissively. Emboldened by her challenge, he just did that, but before reaching Nartiang, he placed it in a forest when the rain had stopped.”“There is a certain overlap of ancient story and memory in the case of the Nartiang monoliths. The locals’ account of how the place came to be is based on ancient stories or folk customs. But they also remember it because it served their ancestors as a weekly marketplace, a memorial, and a place for political gatherings. That is how oral history works. It mixes fact and fiction into collective memory”, said Dr Reeju Ray, a local writer.Today, even though the traditional customs and more confirmed historical accounts offer some insight into the site, the mystery of the stone giants lasts.24. Why did the author and his family come to visit the monoliths of Nartiang?A. It was in their original trip plan.B. They had to choose it as an alternative.C. It was the only remaining place to visit.D. An elder villager gave them the suggestion.25. Which does the underlined word “Emboldened” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Threatened.B. Moved.C. Stimulated.D.Frightened.26. Why are Dr. Reeju Ray’s words mentioned?A. To inform what the monoliths served as.B. To illustrate how the mysterious story came into being.C. To introduce the feature of Nartiang monoliths.D. To deny the overlap of ancient story and memory.27. What is the best title for the text?A. A Trip to the MonolithsB. The Mystery of ShillongC. The Formation of the MonolithsD. A Disappointing Travel Experience CIf you find yourself embracing the thrilling chaos of completing tasks at the last minute, congratulations — You are not alone! According to a survey, 20% of U.S. adults procrastinate(拖延) at home, at work, in relationships, and more. Another survey found that 88% of people procrastinate at least one hour a day.Sounds alarming? As it turns out, if you’re feeling stressed, you may be more likely to procrastinate. Essentially, our brains are structured to approach tasks we find enjoyable and avoid those we are afraid of. Our limbic brain(边缘大脑), the emotional part of our brain, is screaming, “Let’s do anything but that stressful thing!” while our prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层) is the CEO of our brain, setting the goals, making a plan, and ensuring we stay on track. CEO vs. Drams Queen Brain — who will win? Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message.Then there’s the burst of energy we often get when we’re up against a deadline, which leads to a reward pathway within our brains and sets the foundation for procrastination as a habit. When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!”So, how to beat procrastination? Well, you need to retrain your brain to cope with the stress. One trick is to take periodic breaks (reward) to refocus your attention on the task. Ever heard of the Promodoro Technique? It’s about working for 25 minutes and resting for 5. During those breaks, forget about brain-burning activities — try relaxing techniques such as meditation or yoga instead. Another trick is to “eat the frog”, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day and do itfirst thing in the morning, as was once said by Mark Twain.28. Why are the two surveys mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To warn the readers.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a phenomenon.D. To make a comparison.29. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?A. We are born to prefer what we like and avoid what we fear.B. The limbic brain is under the control of the prefrontal cortex.C. We are more likely to burst when getting close to the deadline.D. Failing to complete a task can lead to habitual procrastination.30. What does the author suggest readers do to stop procrastination?A. Force the brain to focus.B. Take a break regularly.C. Solve a tricky math problem.D. Eat something refreshing first.31. What is the tone of this text?A. Humorous.B. Ironic.C. Serious.D. Unclear. DTo Swedes, the scent of surströmming(鲱鱼罐头) is pleasant, but to most others, it’s sickening. This contrast highlights the role of culture in shaping our perceptions of scent. However, researchers now suggest that biology might play a more significant role than previously thought.Artin Arshamian, a neuroscientist at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, and Asifa Majid, a psychologist at the University of Oxford, noticed from their own previous work that people from different cultures described smells differently. They also knew from past experiments by other researchers that culture was important in determining which sorts of faces people found beautiful. Thus, they expected to see a similar phenomenon with smells.The researchers conducted a study involving nine diverse groups of people, including hunter-gatherers in Mexico, farmers in Ecuador, and residents of cities like Mexico City and Bangkok. They were presented with ten smells, ranging from isovaleric acid to vanilla extract, and asked to rate them according to pleasantness. The results showed high consistency across cultures, with isovaleric acid universally disliked and vanilla extract mostly enjoyed.Interestingly, the chemical composition of the smells accounted for 41% of the reactions, while cultural factors only explained 6%. It is quite different in the case of visual perception of faces,where a person’s culture makes up 50% of the explanation for which faces they find beautiful. Meanwhile, the researchers identified an “eye of the beholder” effect in our perceptions of scent. This phenomenon, though less obvious than in visual perception, represents the personal preferences that are shaped by influences outside individual culture, accounting for 54% ofthe differences in which smells people liked.This study suggests that our sense of smell may be more influenced by biological factors than cultural ones. It challenges the idea that culture alone determines what we find pleasant or unpleasant and opens up new ways of exploring the biological basis of our senses.32. What is the initial purpose of the research?A. To explore how culture affects our sense of smell.B. To prove all people enjoy the scent of surströmming.C. To examine geography plays a role in scent perception.D. To confirm biology has an influence on scent perception.33. How did the researchers conduct the research?A. By making questionnaire surveys.B. By recording participants’ reactions.C. By comparing cultural backgrounds.D. By referring to previous study reports.34. The underlined “eye of the beholder” effect mentioned in the research refers to _____________.A. the standard of beauty across different culturesB. the role of culture in shaping our sense of smellC. the impact of personal preferences on scent perceptionD. the influence of outside factors on our visual preference35. What can be inferred from the participants’ reactions to isovaleric acid?A. They were familiar with isovaleric acid beforehand.B. They hated isovaleric acid all due to its unpleasant smell.C. Their reactions to the scent of isovaleric acid varied among cultures.D. Their dislike for isovaleric acid was based more on biological factors.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It’s over a hundred years old. In the winter of 1891, a certain college was having some trouble with its boy students. The weather was bad and the students had to stay indoors. As they could not play outdoors, they were unhappy, and some even got into fights from time to time.Some of the teachers at the college asked Dr. Naismith to invent a game so that the students might have something to play with. It was not easy to invent such a game because it had to be played indoors, and the court was not very large.Dr. Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a fast, wonderful game with much moving and passing of the ball, It played between two teams. To make a score, the ball had to be thrown into the basket ten feet above the floor on the wall. At each en of the court there was such a basket. At first, Dr. Naismith wanted to throw the ball into a box. As he could not find boxes of the right size, he had to use fruitbasket instead. That is how the game got its name.( )1、How long is it since basketball was invented?A 1,000 years.B Less than 100 years.C 1,100 years.D More than 100 years.( )2、The students felt unhappy because .A they could not play outdoorsB they often got into fightsC they had much homework to doD they had little time to study( )3、Who asked Dr. Naismith to invent a game?A Some students.B Some teachers.C Some students’ parents.D Some of his friends.( )4、When a student , he makes a score.A receives the ballB throws the ball to another studentC runs quickly with the ball in his handD throws the ball into the basket(B)Which of your hands do you use most? Very few of us use both of our hands well. Most of us use our right hands well. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New –born babies can take things with either of their hands, but in about two years they like to use their right hands.Scientists don’t know why this happens. They have studied it. They think of our animal ancestors in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other but it can be either hand. There are so man right-handed ones. Next time you visit the zoo, watch the monkeys carefully. You’ll see that some of them will swing from their right hands and the others will use their left hands. But most human beings use their right hands better and many tools are made for the right-handed people, and this makes life difficult for the left-handed ones. We live in a right-handed world.1、Very few of us can use both of our hands well. It means “”A many people can’t use hand as well as the otherB many people can’t use both handsC many people can use one hand as well as the otherD many people can use both hands2、New-born babies at first.A can only use their right hands.B can only use their left handsC can’t use both of their handsD can use both their hands3、Which of the following is true?A Monkeys are left-handed.B Monkeys are right-handed.C In a zoo you can see some of the monkeys are left-handed; the others re right-handed.D There are much more right-handed monkeys than left-handed monkeys.4、Man live in aA left-handed worldB right-handed worldC monkey worldD lifeless world(C)Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean that they nolonger like each other. Most of the time, they will make up and go on being friends.Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But when we call them and write to them? It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could just know that someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.1、The first paragraph tells usA none need friendsB we always need friends around usC making friends is the need in people’s lifeD we need to be alone2、Which of the following doesn’t the writer say in the passage?A People are not happy when their friends leave them.B People will never see their friends after their friends move away.C People can know their friends in different ways.D People like their friends very much if they get to know them.3、Which of the following is most probably the place people name after friendly people?A A cityB A roomC A townD A library4、People who have friends live longer than people who don’t becauseA they feel happier and are healthyB they get a lot of help from their friendsC they take better care of themselvesD both A and C(D)What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观). At least, this is what psychologists(心理学家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference(偏爱), as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up-we are born with or preference.Colors do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(沮丧的，消沉的). A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀(者)) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted(重画) green. The number of suicide attempts(试图，企图) immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.1、If you like greys and blues, you are likelyA a person who enjoys lifeB a leader followed by othersC a follower leading othersD a person always expecting worst things will happen2、If you happen to love brown,A you did soB you learned to do soC psychologists said soD psychologists thought so3、There is no doubt thatA most people like yellow and redB yellow and red are better than black and blueC colors have an effect on our lifeD workers will work better with their machines painted grey or black五、短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

Does social media have a negative impact on your mental health? It's complicated.In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression among teens.①_____ Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than his peers, he likely had a 0.64 point higher the depression score.A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that "problematic social media use" was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. ②_____There's one important thing to remember about survey research—two things happen together, and it's not necessarily true that one causes the other.③_____ For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.④_____ If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush, you're on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.It's certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad for your mood. It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether.⑤_____ Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.A. The same is true of social media.B. Social media can be a double-edged sword.C. People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.D. They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.E. They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks.F. The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using them in moderation and staying socially connected.G. For example, it doesn't mean social media use causes depression just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression.【答案】①-⑤DAGBF。

承德一中2020-2021学年高二下学期第三次周测英语试卷
高二英语周测3 2021/04/18本试卷满分100分，时间45分钟I．阅读理解(每题2.5分，总分27.5分)AWhales，like dolphins，belong to a group of mammals called “cetaceans”．This name comes from a Latin word meaning “large sea animals”．There are at least seventy-five kinds of cetaceans. Scientists divide the various kinds into two major groups—baleen whales，which do not have teeth，and toothed whales，which have teeth. Whales have the same basic shape as fish，but they differ from fish in many ways. The most noticeable difference is the tail. Fish have vertical tail fins(鳍)，but whales have horizontal tail fins. Fish breathe by means of gills(鳃)，while whales have lungs and must come to the surface to breathe. But they can hold their breath for long periods.Like other mammals，whales give birth to live young and feed them with milk produced by the mother’s body. Most fish，however，lay eggs and do not feed their young. Whales are also warm-blooded—that is，their body temperature remains about the same all the time. Almost all fish are cold-blooded. Their body temperature changes with changes in the temperature of the water.Whales have a highly developed brain and they are highly advanced life forms. They sing to their young，engage in complex family relationships，and their communication skills are fine.In December 2005，a whale，after being rescued from fishing nets，didn’t just swim back to deep water. It hung around and touched each of the divers with its mouth. “Knowing that it was free，it stopped about a foot away from me，pushed me around a little bit and had some fun，” said dive master James Moskito.He thought it was “one of the most fantastic moments” of his life. 1．According to Paragraph 1，which of the following shows the correct relationship? A．Mammals are a type of cetacean. B．Cetaceans are not a type of mammal. C．Whales belong to the cetacean family. D．Mammals are a type of whale.2．Which of the following is NOT a difference between whales and fish?A．Whales breathe by means of lungs.B．Whales have tail fins.C．Whales feed their young with milk.D．A whale’s body temperature nearly doesn’t change.3．Why didn’t the whale swim back to the sea after it was saved?A．It lost its way in the sea. B．It was seriously wounded.C．It was frightened by the divers. D．It wanted to thank the divers.BSome years ago，Michel Andre found himself staring at the body of a dead whale on a beach in the Canary Islands. It was obvious that the animal had been struck violently by a ship—but why? Only later，after surveying the whales which lived in the area and measuring the increase of sound pollution from ships did it become clear that there was a link.The whales had become desensitised to the noise of approaching boats and were being struck by them，often seriously. “We never thought that this could be something th at could kill，” recalls Andre，who is the director of the Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics at the Technical University of Catalonia，Barcelona.Andre has spent 20 years developing an advanced system to better understand why incidents like this happen. His underwater microphones have exposed a world of deafening sound and animal communication never observed with such clarity(清晰) before.It was not an easy task. Sound waves don’t travel through water in the uniform，predictable way they do through the air. Instead，the temperature，salinity(盐度) and，flow of water have great effects on their path.What can be done? One solution is to change shipping routes to courses where ships are statistically less likely to meet animals. It’s also possible to slow ships down to 18km/h or less，which is less likely to seriously injure a whale.As for dealing with the root cause of the problem，the UN’s International Maritime Organisation has already published guidelines on how to quieten ships，but it will be a while before the effects of such changes might be observed.“The ocean is not our world，” comments Andre. But it is ours to look after. And thanks to his work，we can better understand the effects of subsea sound pollution.4．What does the underlined word “desensitised” in Para graph 2 mean?A．Stubborn. B．Flexible. C．Dull. D．Friendly.5．What’s one way to solve the problem according to the text?A．To lower the speed of ships.B．To reduce the number of ships.C．To set up preserves under the sea.D．To give the injured animals timely treatment.6．What is the author’s attitude towards what Michel Andre has done?A．Doubtful. B．Disapproving. C．Positive. D．Uncaring.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A great expert. B．Noise in the sea.C．Animals in the sea. D．Sea exploration technology.CCalifornia has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B. The increasing variety of California big trees.C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.9. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A. Ecological studies of forests.B. Banning woodcutting.C. Limiting housing development.D. Fire control measures.10. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?A. Inadequate snowmelt.B. A longer dry season.C. A warmer climate.D. Dampness of the air.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in CaliforniaⅡ.七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤) her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her bur ns were third-degree. There, using tissue(组织) taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, doctors performed plex skin transplants(移植) to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel ments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some chil dren refused to bee friends because of that.”Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for th e charity’s first summer camp. “I’llshow them how to get rid of unkind stares from others.” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”1. What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?A．They were friendly to her. B．They showed sympathy to her. C．They were afraid of her. D．They looked down upon her.2. Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to___________.A．face others’ unkindness bravely B．hide their scars by proper dressingC．live a normal life D．recover quickly3. What can be the best title of the passage?A．A Seriously Burned Girl Survives B．Ways to Get Rid of Unkind StaresC．Permanent Scars and Pain for a Girl D．A Seriously Burned Angel of HopeB.A survey revealed the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children. I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid-related things. Actually, I am one of them.Child-rearing(养育) doesn’t e naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of capers and a bay leaf. Then he’d buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees. My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food.The truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a puter so I could google what to d o. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as “Mummy kiss it better,” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always right. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 per cent of the time. Here are some famous slip-ups.The mother of Bill Gates: “If you’re going to drop out of college and hang out with your nerdy friends, don’t e running to me when you find yourself penniless. ” The mo ther of Albert Einstein: “When you grow up, you’ll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won’t pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W. Bush: “You’ll never be like your dad, who became President of the United States an d started his own war.”4. The tone for the writer to write the passage is __________ .A. cruelB. disapprovingC. humorousD. critical5. In Paragraph 2 the writer makes a parison between mothers and fathers to prove that __________ .A. females love kids more than malesB. males are not good at child-rearingC. child-rearing is difficult both for females and malesD. my dad is not interested in child-rearing6. What does the underlined word “slip-ups” in P aragraph 4 probably mean?A. Stories.B. Shortings.C. Disadvantages.D. Mistakes.7. The last paragraph is mainly developed by __________ .A. providing different examplesB. following the order of spaceC. making parisonsD. analyzing causesC.If you never read the classic F．Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby，now is your chance to catch up—by watching the latest film adaptation. Because if there's one sentence to sum up the film，it would be，as Fox News says in its review，“It's just like the book.”Director Baz Luhrmann's main challenge was “either to find a visual equivalent(相等物)for Fitzgerald's elegant essay—the open secret of the book's staying power—or to bend the material to his own exotic(异国的)strengths，”a Time magazine review says. He tries it both ways，with varying degrees of success.Considered to be Fitzgerald's representative work，The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism，resistance to change，social change，and excess，creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described asa cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.Nick，the narrator，moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy. His nextdoor neighbor is Jay Gatsby(Leonardo DiCaprio)，who rarely contacts with others and is rumored to be a hero of the Great War. Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University，but the evidence is suspect. As Nick learns more about Gatsby，every detail about him seems questionable，except his love for Daisy. Though Daisy is married，Gatsby still adores her as his “golden girl”．They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a workingclass military officer. Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war. However，she married Tom，a classmate of Nick's. Having obtained a great fortune，Gatsby sets out to win her back again.“All of Fitzgerald's original creation finds its way into this film，even going as far to include quite a bit of the original dialogue，” US film critic Justin Taroli writes in his review. “The cast is beautiful as is the script，and the scenes are a visual feast，” Taroli adds.Di Caprio does a good and professional job as the socialite by recreating Fitzgerald's description of Gatsby's charm. “He can look at someone f or an instant and understand how，perfectly，he or she wants to be seen，” David Denby，a film critic for The New Yorker，says in his review.The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film. “Luhrmann is athis best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original，” the Fox News review said.For example，in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film，the first party scene，Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest tryingto explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to theman himself，while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue(posed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924)is played in the background.8．What did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success?A．He adapted the story in the novel as he wished.B．He made the film more powerful than the book.C．He mixed his style with the elegance of the essay.D．He showed the elegance of the pictures in the film.9．What is Taroli's attitude towards the film?A．Favorable. B．Sceptical（怀疑的）. C．Amazed. D．Unconcerned.10．What are the characteristics of Gatsby?A．Faithful and warmhearted. B．Charming and professional. C．Selfish and stubborn. D．Mysterious and devoted.11．Why does the author give the example of the first party scene in the last paragraph?A．To unfold the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby.B．To show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well.C．To prove that the director is good at bining visual and music.D．To convince us that the first scene is perfectly shot by the director.D.Dear Dad，Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards.They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you.Yet as I selected and read，it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.You'll soon be 84 years old，Dad，and you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together. I haven't always been with you on Father's Day but I've always been with you in my heart.You know，Dad，there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap.You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.The FatherDaughter Duel shifted into high gear(档位)when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the '54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home，after you reported the Chevy stolen，didn't have much tolerance for a stubborn 16yearold，while you were so tolerant about it，Dad，and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked，and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line，the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together，rather like a fine wine.But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.I guess what I'm trying to say，Dad，is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respectand sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It's about loving someone more than words can say，and it's wishing that never had to end.I love you，Dad.Love，Jenny12．From the 4th paragraph we know that the writer was sent home by the police officer because ______.A．she was driving a wrong car B．she was believed to be the “thief”C．she lost her way while driving D．she annoyed the police officer with her rudeness13.．We can learn from the passage that Jenny and her father______．A．kept in touch by writing each other B．are separated due to the generation gapC．have been getting along very well D．had a hard time understanding each other14．Why did Jenny feel strange when she saw her father last week?A．She seldom saw him driving that huge car. B．She had never realized hisbeing old and weak.C．She didn't expect to meet with him there. D．She had never seen him driving so slowly before.15．Jenny wrote this letter to her father to________．A．tell him about their conflicts B．say sorry for her being stubbornC．express her gratitude to him D．remind him of the early incident 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。
2021-2022学年广东省茂名化州市第三中学高二3月月考英语试题
2021-2022学年广东省茂名化州市第三中学高二3月月考英语试题1. Does it seem like hotel costs just go up and up? It’s true that they rise each year, sometimes significantly. When determining which hotel has the best deal, you don’t just want to look at the nightly rate anymore. There are so many other factors to consider to help you save money, both before you book and during your stay. Here are some tips to help you make the best decision.Go out to eatThough room service sounds really appealing, prices for food on the menu can be twice as much as you would pay for the same food at a restaurant. Tips are always included in the tab and usually masked as a delivery charge. Most guests don’t know this and add a tip to the bill when the waiter brings their food.Ask for a corner roomThough this won’t technically save you any money, corner rooms are usually a bit larger than regular rooms, which give you a better deal for your money. Once you check in, ask if one of these rooms is available. This is easier if you show up close to check-in time, but before the flood of guests show up to get their keys. You can also call ahead and request a corner room with your existing reservation.Bring your own snacksAnything is be tter than the rates for items in the mini bar. The prices are horrible and don’t even think about trying to replace it with the same item later.Avoid the weekendHotels in popular destinations regularly raise their rates on Fridays and Saturdays. In some cases, it can be as much as three times more than Sunday through Thursday nights.1. What is the aim of this text?A．How to choose a good hotel. B．How to save money.C．How to increase the nightly rate. D．How to decrease the tips.2. Which service cost you more?A．Room service. B．Go out to eat. C．Ask for a cornerroom. D．Bring your own snacks.3. When is a good choice to book a hotel?A．Fridays. B．Saturdays. C．Sundays. D．Holidays.2. I came home raging with anger. Once again I had been asked to do "just one more thing". My boss was leaving the company and the president wanted to know if I was interested in taking over the office. The opportunity sounded great—except that I would have no additional help, would receive minimal compensation and would be left in a position at a company that had no chance ofbeing promoted. My poor husband asked what I wanted to do. At first I considered our financial responsibilities. Then I realized I could not take the job; I was not going to settle for a partially rewarding life. I believed my husband and I could make it work.After giving it much thought, I finally decided to study one of my personal passions: architecture. The only accredited schools were located across the state, so for the first semester, I drove three hours each way twice a week. The stress at home and the struggles in school began taking a physical toll on me. At the end of the first semester I was ready to quit, but I knew this was my chance. So I found a relative who lived halfway between home and school and she offered me a place to stay during the week.In my personal life, I discovered that many of the women in my family were supportive because they did not follow their own desired study paths. My grandmother never went to college because she became a mother, and my mother only went for a shorter degree because she chose to start a family as well. My husband's family were disappointed that my schooling would push any decision to have grandchildren into our 30s, but my husband was supportive and never apologized for my choice.I will finish my master's degree in December. Instead of dreading work, I get up each day excited about moving forward. I know there will be days when I still don't want to get out of bed so early, but I am proud of what I am doing and am so glad I decided to take a chance on my future.1. Which of the following words can be used to describe the president?A．Greedy. B．Generous. C．Hardworking. D．Sympathetic.2. What do we know about a lot of women in the author's family?A．They did a good job in keeping the family.B．They gave up studying further in their lifeC．They offered no support to the author in her study.D．They made their own dreams about jobs come true.3. Why is the author excited every day?A．She is hopeful about the future. B．She will get a pay rise.C．She has finished her master's degree. D．She doesn't have to get up early.4. What is the text mainly about?A．Why we should work hard at school. B．What the author's family life is like now.C．The author's family's attitude to her study. D．How the author makes a change in herlife.3. The more parents talk to their children, the faster those children’s vocabularies grow and the better their intelligence develops. Dr. Hart and Dr. Risley published their study in 1995.They found a close relationship between the number of words a child’s parents had spoken to him by the time he was three and his academic success at the age of nine. At three, children born intoprofessional families had heard 30 million more words than those from a poorly performed family. Besides, recent studies show that words should be spoken directly to a child, rather than simply heard in the home. Leaving children in front of the television does not have the same effect. Neither does letting them sit at the feet of academic parents while the grown-ups talk about Plato.The effects can be seen directly in the brain. Babies are born with about 100 billion neurons more or less, and connections between these neurons form at an exponentially(以指数方式) rising rate in the early years of life. It is the pattern of these connections that determines how well the brain works, and what it learns. By the time a child is three years old, there will be about 1,000 trillion connections in his brain, and that child’ s experiences continuously determine which are strengthened and which decreased. This process—gradual and irreversible, has shaped the path of the child’s life.Fortunately, there are tools that can help those silent parents. One such is a Language Environment Analysis (LENA) device. It is like a pedometer, but instead of recording users’ walking steps, this device keeps track of words by analyzing the speech children hear. Parents use it to monitor and improve their patterns of words, much as a pedometer-wearing couch potato might try to reach 10,000 steps a day. Plus, parents are taught to make the words they speak to their children more enriching. In this way parents can make sure of an enough input.1. Which factor influences the children’s intell igence development most according to the text?A．The wealth of households. B．Parents' academic success.C．Babies’ inborn language ability.D．Effective vocabulary input by parents. 2. What can we learn from paragraph 3?A．The number of neurons at birth varies a lot.B．Neurons connections can be decided by experiences.C．Individual efforts can also shape the kids' development.D．School education leads to faster increase of the connections.3. Why is the "pedometer" mentioned in the last paragraph?A．To give parents two options. B．To offer two possible solutions.C．To show the similarity to LENA. D．To tell the difference from LENA.4. What should parents do for their babies according to the text?A．Involve in their games. B．Share more quality time with them.C．Enlarge their vocabulary through media. D．Expose them to being spoken to directly.4. Simple Tips to Increase Self-ConfidenceHaving confidence begins with having a mind full of confident thoughts. A mind is controlled by you, therefore believing only the things that will bring you things you desire. Almost anyone in the world can have confidence. 1 . It is a matter of following these easy steps.Set goalsIt’s a great idea to keep a “Goals Book” and every time something enters your mind you’d like to achieve, list it in the book. Soon you’ll see a pattern among all your goals. 2 , you begin to see simple changes in your life. There is no greater joy in life than to realize a goal.3People usually can’t tell you how you should live your life when it’s just an expression of their own shortcomings. Don’ allow the shortcomings of others to affect your life negatively. No one but you knows your interests and ambitions. Work in the direction of your true loves and ignore everything that enters your mind going against your own desires.Challenge your beliefs4 . If they are not, cross them out. You may find it difficult to get rid of some of the deep-rooted beliefs, but with true desire you can abandon negative beliefs about yourself and you will realize enormous benefit in growing self-confidence and self-esteem.Get startedDon’t expect changes right away and have patience in knowi ng that it takes time to be the person you wish to be. The wonderful thing about becoming a more self-confident person is that little benefits start taking shape almost immediately. 5 — as long as you continue to keep a positive outlook and display your confidence.As you achieve confidence, and find little moments of confidence coming closer and closer, all the things you desire will come to you easier than you ever imagined.5.
