2019-2020学年山西大学附属中学高三英语三模试卷及参考答案

2019-2020学年山西大学附属中学高三英语三模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BImust have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the wonderful way the words sounded.I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Sometimes, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading.I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.Now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is an important part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.4. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands？A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.B. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.C. She couldn’t help but stopmom from reading.D. She was eager to know what had happened.5. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs shows___________.A. her own way to find herselfB. her eagerness to develop her reading abilityC. her growing desire to know the world around herD. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules6. The author takes novel reading as a way to___________.A. explore a mysterious landB. develop an interest in learningC. get away from a confusing worldD. learn about the adult world7. What could be the best title for the passage？A The Pleasure of Reading B. Growing Up with ReadingC. The Magic of ReadingD. Reading Makes a Full ManCIn Copenhagen, an 8-year dream was realized when the first paid skiers took their runs down a one-third-mile course (路线)．They skied on what is possibly the greenestpower factory in the world．The factory is so clean and safe that designers were able to turn its buildings into a new center for social life．The waste-to-power factory itself opened in 2017 under the name Amager Bakke．Bjarke Ingels is the architect whosecompany came up with the idea eight years ago of designing a power plant building that would join mountain sports into its very nature．“It is the cleanest waste-to-energy power plant in the world．It is not only better for the environment, it is also moreenjoyable for the lives of its citizens.” Ingels says 97% of city people get their heating as a by-product of energy production．It comes from a system where the electricity, heating, and waste disposal (处理) are mixed into a single process．He dreams that it is also becoming an example that others can look to and say, “IfCopenhagencan do it why can' t we?"There are no hills in this island city, but now people can ski locally, while enjoying the best views ever seen of the harbor．Another thing missing hereis snow cover throughout the winter, so designers set up a kind of special "plastic grass" that provides the perfect friction (摩擦力) for downhill winter sports．In a country where 600, 000 skiers always had to travel to practice sking, to be able to finally ski in their backyard-and, all year round - is, as one skier said, “AMAZING．”The company hopes to see 300, 000 visitors enjoying the experience of Copen hill each year, with the ski slope costing $ 22 an hour or just $ 366 for a full season pass．Meanwhile, the city is one step closer to its final goal of becoming the world's first carbon-neutral city by 2025．We thinkit might be all “down hill” from here．8. How does the power factory produce electricity?A. By using oil．B. By using coal．C. By usingwind．D. By using waste．9. What' s Ingels' dream according to the passage?A. To make more tall buildings in different big cities．B. To help more skiers to ski in high mountains．C. There will be more green power factories in the world．D. More and more people will ski in the power factory．10. Where do the skiers ski in the power factory?A. On man-made snow．B. On man-made ice．C. On plastic grass．D. On real sand．11. The underlined part “it might be all 'downhill' from here" means that________.A. they will soon reach their final goalB. they will soon draw many visitorsC. they will produce more electricityD. they have difficulties reaching the goalDBritish anthropologists (人类学家) Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham, after studying the results of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games, conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win.Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other, colour has no effect on the result. However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enoughtipthe balance.The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males — the ones who are more successful with females — have a brighter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell, another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches, Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from theUniversityofGlasgowsay that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, andhis colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?12. According to their research. Hill and Barton conclude that ________.A. the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport eventsB. red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sportsC. red plays a role when competitors are equally capableD. athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red13. The underlined word “tip” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A. achieveB. advanceC. keepD. change14. The example of the blue footed booby proves that ________.A. male birds use different body parts to draw attentionB. red is not the only colour to attract female birdsC. blue gives female birds the same advantageD. blue can indicate how healthy a bird is15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The colour red gives male animals the most advantage.B. Male zebra finches prefer to have red plastic rings on their legs.C. Rules on sports clothing are going to be changed.D. Athletes wearing red may have an advantage over their opponents.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AAmsterdam’s Best Flea MarketsIjhallen Flea MarketFirst or second weekend of every monthPerhaps the most impressive of them all is Ijhallen, located in the north of Amsterdam. With more than 1,500 stands and 3,000 free parking spaces, the monthly market attracts visitors from not only the Netherlands, but Europe-wide.There is a five euro admission fee, but you can be pretty sure that you can browse second-hand treasures for most of the day. Anything and everything can be found here; old guitars and antique chairs, art prints and military gear.Noordermarkt Flea MarketSaturday, 9am-4pmMonday, 9am-2pmIn the centre of the Jordaan, the Noordermarkt Flea Market on Saturdays includes vintage(老式的) goods and organic food produce from local farmers.On Mondays, the market transforms into an antique-hunter’s goldmine. There are piles of vintage clothes, antique books, coins and furniture.Waterloopein MarketMonday-Saturday, 9am-6pmThe most centrally located of all flea markets in Amsterdam, Waterlooplein Market offers visitors a range of snacks, second-hand clothes and vintage treasures.There’s a maze of second-hand goods, from old globes and hanging lamps, to African drums, antique rugs and used bikes.Spui Book MarketFriday 10am-6pmIdeally situated among bookstores, you’ll find a coll ection of tents sheltering second-hand andantique books at the book market on Spui.You can find a variety of literature from biographies and poetry to fantasy-fiction, history, psychology and geography. While most books are from the Netherlands, some English and international titles are for sale. As well as antique maps, prints and record.1. Which flea market do you need to pay some extra money?A. Ijhallen Flea Market.B. Noordermarkt Flea Market.C. Waterlooplein Market.D. Spui Book Market.2. What can you pick up at Noordermarkt Flea Market?A. You can get enough parking space.B. You can choose a range of snacks.C. You can buy some fresh vegetables.D. You can dig some gold mines here.3. When is a good time to visit a favorite market for a crazy book fan?A. First weekend of every month.B. Friday, 10am-6pm.C. Monday, 9am-6pm.D. Saturday, 9am-4pm.BConstruction on Knolly’s Tunnel began in 1896, and it was opened on August 13th, 1898 by the man it was named after--Sir Clement C. Knolly, Acting Governor of Trinidad. It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amazed that Knolly’s Tunnel has stood up to the earth’s movement over so many years.Much research is being done on the tunnel. At the top of Knolly’s Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at the beginning of Knolly’s Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones. Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel, though not inside.On your way in, you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel. These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed. Knolly’s Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly’s Tunnel.On the drive to Knolly’s Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets. A gas station and a health centre are also close by.For those who admire architecture, Knolly’s Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad. For the nature lovers, there is no better place for them to be and for the historians, they can walk or drive through Knolly’s Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled (worked hard) on its structure. So when you visit Trinida d, don’t forget to take a look at Knolly’s Tunnel!4. Knolly’s Tunnel is special in __________.A. its environmentB. its functionC. its locationD. its architecture5. The underlined word “site” in the paragraph 4 refers to ________.A. TrinidadB. TabaquiteC. Mitchell GapD. Knolly’s Tunnel6. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To suggest a visit to Knolly’s Tunnel.B. To introduce the history of Knolly’s Tunnel.C. To evaluate the value of Knolly’s Tunnel.D. To witness the change of Knolly’s Tunnel7. The passage above is probably taken from ____________.A. a geography textbookB. a travel journalC. a sports reportD. a health and fitness magazineCBlue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumerplastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solut ion is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single----use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag----when taken collectively, these choices really do makea difference.8. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.9. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A. By statistics.B. By quotations from leading experts.C. By using examples from his own experience.D. By comparison and contrast.10. What can we infer about climate change?A. Climate change is caused by human activities.B. Some people hold some doubts about climate change.C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Ocean plastic is a global issue.B. The oceans become choked with plastic.C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the worldDMaths and MusicAn excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician. Tell others you are also a musician, however, and they will be hooked. Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity, there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in.I’m partly referring here to the “Mozart effect”, where children who have been play ing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent, including at maths, than other children. It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular: we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort. But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest. If you want your brain to work better, you clearly have to put in hard work. As for learning to play the piano, it also takes effort.Surely a connection is quite reasonable. Both maths and music deal with abstract structures, so if you become good at one, then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other. If this is correct, it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability. It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis. To become better at one, you need to improve your fitness and coordination (协调). That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other.Abstract structures don’t exist only in maths and music. If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar. Yet we don’t hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic (语言的) ability. Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical, so it wouldn’t be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar. Music, however, is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it. As such, it seems different from maths, so there wouldn’t be any c onnection between the two.Let’s see how we solve problems of the “A is to B as C is to D”kind. These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths. Consider the opening of Mozart’s EineKleine Nachtmusik (小夜曲).The second phrase (小节) is a clear answer to the first. The listener thinks: “The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord (和弦); what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7?” Music is full of puzzles li ke this. If you are good at them, expectations will constantly be set up in your mind. The best moments surprise you by being unexpected, but we need the expectations in the first place.12. What does the author say about “Mozart effect”？A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about.B. The findings from it gave people wrong information.C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected.D. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective.13. The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3 to show that ______.A. football and tennis are played in a similar way.B. certain skills may be developed through practice.C. music and maths have something in common.D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields.14. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ______.A. language seems more like maths than music does.B. language is less appealing to learners.C. mathematicians are good at music learning.D. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music.15. What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph?A. How music differs from maths.B. Why musicians possess mathematical abilities.C. Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians.D. How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths.第二节（共5小题：每小题3分，满分15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。

I’m glad I can help with it.It is generally believed that China is the largest mobile payment market. Nowhere else is the cashless trend more obvious than in China. Most of us are used to paying by scanning QR codes whatever we buy—books, clothes, and electronic devices, to name a few, which is a glimpse into the life of most Chinese like me and my family.With the widespread use of mobile payment, Wechat or Alipay is the most convenient and safest way to pay. We rarely need to carry a wallet or cash at all. Besides, never will we worry about getting fake notes or having to count change. In short, mobile payment has greatlychanged people's life in China.Personally, I think mobile payment should be encouraged. First, it has won over consumers with its convenience. Another advantage is that there are often discounts if you make mobile payment, as major online payment platforms are competing to have more consumers use their service.I hope my explanation can be of some help to you. Wish you good luck.Yours faithfully,Li Hua。

Saturday ， 9am-4pm ．BConstruction on Knolly's Tunnel began in 1896， and it was opened on August 13th ， 1898 by the man it was named after--Sir Clement C ． Knolly ， Acting Governor of Trinidad ． It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain ． Its architecture is still admired and studied today ， and many are amazed that Knolly's Tunnel has stood up to the earth's movement over so many years ． Much research is being done on the tunnel ． At the top of Knolly's Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves ， where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature ． Standing at the beginning of Knolly's Tunnel ， you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end ． The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones ． Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through ， but should do so in groups for safety ． In the old days ， there were no lights ， but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel ， though not inside ．On your way in ， you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel ． These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed ． Knolly's Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap ． The road was recently improved ， but is better when you enter from Tabaquite ， and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly's Tunnel ．On the drive to Knolly's Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature ． At the site itself ， there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink ， but in Tabaquite there are several bars ， a restaurant ， and food outlets ． A gas station and a health centre are also close by ．For those who admire architecture ， Knolly's Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad ． For the nature lovers ， there is no better place for them to be and for the historians ， they can walk or drive through Knolly's Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled （worked hard ） on its structure ． So when you visit Trinidad ， don't forget to take a look at Knolly's Tunnel! 4. Knolly's Tunnel is special in ______ ．A. its environmentB. its functionC. its locationD. its architecture5. The underlined word "site" in the paragraph 4 refers to ______ ．A. TrinidadB. TabaquiteC. Mitchell GapD. Knolly's Tunnel6. What is the purpose of the passage ？ ______A. To suggest a visit to Knolly's Tunnel ．B. To introduce the history of Knolly's Tunnel ．C. To evaluate the value of Knolly's Tunnel ．D. To witness the change of Knolly's Tunnel7. The passage above is probably taken from ______ ．A. a geography textbookB. a travel journalC. a sports reportD. a health and fitness magazineCBlue Planet II's latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures．Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth，the Mariana Trench，have plastic in their stomachs．Indeed，the oceans are drowning in plastic．Though it seems now that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics，consumerplastics are a remarkably recent invention．The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s；the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States．This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change．Plastics pollution research，for instance，is still a very early science．We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be．What we do know，though，is disturbing．Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year．Nearly 700species，including endangered ones，are known to have been affected by it．One in three leatherback turtles，which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish，have been found with plastic in their bellies．Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis．By 2050，that figure is expected to rise to 100percent．And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas．Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat．I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster，worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change．But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change．There are no ocean trash deniers （否认者），at least so far．To do something about it，we don't have to remake our planet energy system．This is not a problem where we don't know what the solution is．We know how to pick up garbage．Anyone can do it．We know how to dispose （处理）of it．We know how to recycle．We can all start by thinking twice before we use single----use plastic products．Things that may seem ordinary，like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag----when taken collectively，these choices really do make a difference．8.Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science？______A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult．B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal．C. The world couldn't possibly function without plastics．D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up．9.How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3？______A. By statistics．B. By quotations from leading experts．C. By using examples from his own experience．D. By comparison and contrast．10.What can we infer about climate change？______A. Climate change is caused by human activities．B. Some people hold some doubts about climate change．C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution．D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change．11.What is the main idea of this passage？______A. Ocean plastic is a global issue．B. The oceans become choked with plastic．C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken．D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the worldDMaths and Music An excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician．Tell others you are also a musician，however，and they will be hooked．Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity，there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in．I'm partly referring here to the "Mozart effect"，where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent，including at maths，than other children．It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular：we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort．But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest．If you want your brain to work better，you clearly have to put in hard work．As for learning to play the piano，it also takes effort．Surely a connection is quite reasonable．Both maths and music deal with abstract structures，so if you become good at one，then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other．If this is correct，it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability．It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis．To become better at one，you need to improve your fitness and coordination （协调）．That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other．Abstract structures don't exist only in maths and music．If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar．Yet we don't hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic （语言的）ability．Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical，so it wouldn't be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar．Music，however，is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it．As such，it seems different from maths，so there wouldn't be any connection between the two．Let's see how we solve problems of the "A is to B as C is to D"kind．These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths．Consider the opening of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik （小夜曲）．The second phrase （小节）is a clear answer to the first．The listener thinks："The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord （和弦）；what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7？" Music is full of puzzles like this．If you are good at them，expectations will constantly be set up in your mind．The best moments surprise you by being unexpected，but we need the expectations in the first place．12.What does the author say about "Mozart effect"？______A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about．B. The findings from it gave people wrong information．C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected．D. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective．13.The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3to show that ______ ．A. football and tennis are played in a similar way．B. certain skills may be developed through practice．C. music and maths have something in common．D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields．14.We can infer from Paragraph 4that ______ ．A. language seems more like maths than music does．B. language is less appealing to learners．C. mathematicians are good at music learning．D. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music．15.What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph？______A. How music differs from maths．B. Why musicians possess mathematical abilities．C. Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians．D. How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共15.0分）If you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night，you know it's difficult to stay awake in class today．Your teacher's voice might begin to sound like a lullaby（催眠曲）．(1) To keep yourself awake，some tips are worth trying in class．Sit in the front of the room．Why？(2) Besides，it'll be easier to pay attention and participate when you're in the front．You'll also be near the people who are more likely to participate，and the sound of their voices might keep you awake．(3) Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture．This will help if you're tired or discouraged by the content of the lecture，because you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the problems．Talking will also keep you engaged and alert．It might be helpful to make a goal for yourself to answer or ask at least 3questions per class．(4) For example，you might say "I didn't understand the last part of the proof．Could you explain it again in more detail？"Listen actively to the lesson．Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake because it requires engagement of your mind as well as your body．(5) To effectively listen to your teacher，you should try to maintain eye contact，face the speaker，pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a pause in the lecture．A．Participate in class activities．B．Develop interest in the subject．C．If so，classrooms can be boring because you're tired．D．Keep silent all the time and try to catch as much information as possible．E．To avoid annoying your teacher you should try to keep your questions on topic．F．You'll be more motivated to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you easily．G．Practicing active listening can help you keep your eyes open for the length of the lesson．16.

AAmsterdam’s Best Flea MarketsIjhallen Flea MarketFirst or second weekend of every monthPerhaps the most impressive of them all is Ijhallen, located in the north of Amsterdam. With more than 1,500 stands and 3,000 free parking spaces, the monthly market attracts visitors from not only the Netherlands, but Europe-wide.There is a five euro admission fee, but you can be pretty sure that you can browse second-hand treasures for most of the day. Anything and everything can be found here; old guitars and antique chairs, art prints and military gear.Noordermarkt Flea MarketSaturday, 9am-4pmMonday, 9am-2pmIn the centre of the Jordaan, the Noordermarkt Flea Market on Saturdays includes vintage(老式的) goods and organic food produce from local farmers.On Mondays, the market transforms into an antique-hunter’s goldmine. There are piles of vintage clothes, antique books, coins and furniture.Waterloopein MarketMonday-Saturday, 9am-6pmThe most centrally located of all flea markets in Amsterdam, Waterlooplein Market offers visitors a range of snacks, second-hand clothes and vintage treasures.There’s a maze of second-hand goods, from old globes and hanging lamps, to African drums, antique rugs and used bikes.Spui Book MarketFriday 10am-6pmIdeally situated among bookstores, you’ll find a collection of tents sheltering second-hand and antique books at the book market on Spui.You can find a variety of literature from biographies and poetry to fantasy-fiction, history, psychology and geography. While most books are from theNetherlands, some English and international titles are for sale. As well as antique maps, prints and record.1. Which flea market do you need to pay some extra money?A. Ijhallen Flea Market.B. Noordermarkt Flea Market.C. Waterlooplein Market.D. Spui Book Market.2. What can you pick up at Noordermarkt Flea Market?A. You can get enough parking space.B. You can choose a range of snacks.C. You can buy some fresh vegetables.D. You can dig some gold mines here.3. When is a good time to visit a favorite market for a crazy book fan?A. First weekend of every month.B. Friday, 10am-6pm.C. Monday, 9am-6pm.D. Saturday, 9am-4pm.BConstruction on Knolly’s Tunnel began in 1896, and it was opened on August 13th, 1898 by the man it was named after--Sir Clement C. Knolly, Acting Governor of Trinidad. It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amazed that Knolly’s Tunnel has stood up to the earth’s movement over so many years.Much research is being done on the tunnel. At the top of Knolly’s Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at the beginning of Knolly’s Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones. Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel, though not inside.On your way in, you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel. These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed. Knolly’s Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly’s Tunnel.On the drive to Knolly’s Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets.A gas station and a health centre are also close by.For those who admire architecture, Knolly’s Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad. For the nature lovers, there is no better place for them to be and for the historians, they can walk or drive through Knolly’s Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled (worked hard) on its structure. So when you visit Trinidad, don’t forget to take a look at Knolly’s Tunnel!4. Knolly’s Tunnel is special in __________.A. its environmentB. its functionC. its locationD.its architecture5. The underlined word “site” in the paragraph 4 refers to ________.A. TrinidadB. TabaquiteC. Mitchell GapD. Knolly’s Tunnel6. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To suggest a visit to Knolly’s Tunnel.B. To introduce the history of Knolly’s Tunnel.C. To evaluate the value of Knolly’s Tunnel.D. To witness the change of Knolly’s Tunnel7. The passage above is probably taken from ____________.A. a geography textbookB. a travel journalC. a sports reportD. a health and fitness magazineCBlue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumerplastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know howto recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single----use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag----when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.8. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.9. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A. By statistics.B. By quotations from leading experts.C. By using examples from his own experience.D. By comparison and contrast.10. What can we infer about climate change?A. Climate change is caused by human activities.B. Some people hold some doubts about climate change.C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Ocean plastic is a global issue.B. The oceans become choked with plastic.C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the worldDMaths and MusicAn excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician. Tell others you are also a musician, however, and they will be hooked. Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity, there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in.I’m partly referring here to the “Mozart effect”, where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent, including at maths, than other children. It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular: we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort. But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest. If you want your brain to work better, you clearly have to put in hard work. As for learning to play the piano, it also takes effort.Surely a connection is quite reasonable. Both maths and music deal with abstract structures, so if you become good at one, then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other. If this is correct, it wouldshow a connection between mathematical and musical ability. It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis. To become better at one, you need to improve your fitness and coordination (协调). That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other.Abstract structures don’t exist only in maths and music. If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like gramm ar. Yet we don’t hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic (语言的) ability. Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical, so it wouldn’t be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar. Music, however, is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it. As such, it seems different from maths, so there wouldn’t be any connection between the two.Let’s see how we solve problems of the “A is to B as C is to D”kind. These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths. Consider the opening of Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (小夜曲).The second phrase (小节) is a clear answer to the first. The listener thinks: “The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord (和弦); what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7?” Music is full of puzzles like this. If you are good at them, expectations will constantly be set up in your mind. The best moments surprise you by being unexpected, but we need the expectations in the first place.12. What does the author say about “Mozart effect”？A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about.B. The findings from it gave people wrong information.C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected.D. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective.13. The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3 to show that ______.A. football and tennis are played in a similar way.B. certain skills may be developed through practice.C. music and maths have something in common.D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields.14. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ______.A. language seems more like maths than music does.B. language is less appealing to learners.C. mathematicians are good at music learning.D. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music.15. What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph?A. How music differs from maths.B. Why musicians possess mathematical abilities.C. Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians.D. How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths.第二节（共5小题：每小题3分，满分15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。

In fact, many bigbadlycompanies in our city are hoping to hire people like me.youFor another reason, China is a country with such different culture as many foreigners enjoythatliving and working here.

I’m glad I can help with it.It is generally believed that China is the largest mobile payment market. Nowhere else is the cashless trend more obvious than in China. Most of us are used to paying by scanning QR codes whatever we buy—books, clothes, and electronic devices, to name a few, which is a glimpse into the life of most Chinese like me and my family.With the widespread use of mobile payment, Wechat or Alipay is the most convenient and safest way to pay. We rarely need to carry a wallet or cash at all. Besides, never will we worry about getting fake notes or having to count change. In short, mobile payment has greatly changed people's life in China.Personally, I think mobile payment should be encouraged. First, it has won over consumers with its convenience. Another advantage is that there are often discounts if you make mobile payment, as major online payment platforms are competing to have more consumers use their service.I hope my explanation can be of some help to you. Wish you good luck.Yours faithfully,Li Hua1。

A woman's home is her castle.She cleans,cooks,decorates,repairs,works,plays and relaxes within the walls of her home.Sometimes women choose to stay at home to raise their children instead of working outside of the home. So you think she must be bored.I was one of those women.After finally getting pregnant,and giving birth,I found my home to be thebest place.During the nine months I carried my daughter,my body had been broken and back.Being able to relax was just what my weak body needed. Besides,nursing was a rest because I was unhurried and verycomfortable.Staying at home certainly cured my broken body.Watching other families grow one child after the next was a horribledream,when I didn’t think I would ever be able to have my own child.But after having Alyssa,my own cute little baby girl,I was able to let my heart recover from the wounds.I watched and I valued every small change of her body and personality.Nothing was more exciting than time spent with my child.I loved to stay at home.Mentally I remained challenged with new opportunities every day.I learned to be perfect and organized. Everything worked like a clock.By 9:00 in themorning,the house was clean—beds made,bathrooms cleaned,house cleaned,and windows cleaned.I enjoyed finishing them quickly so that I could devote mostof the day to my daughter.

Meet big brother Blue and his sisters Meadow and Little Willow,a family of three blind cats that just got adopted by the family Catherine Magno.Their story starts just before the Christmas of 2014 when the kittens （小猫）were found in an abandoned house in Dubai.By then they had already lost their sight due to a cat flu that was left untreated by their previous （先前的）owner.After that they came to an animal home.At some point,brother Blue almost got adopted by the previous owner's neighbor,but the poor confused catcouldn’t bear living without his sisters and cried all night while searching for them .Soon they were all united in the animal home until the important night of 19 February 2015,when Catherine took them under her wing."I had zero experience having adopted my first ever rescue kitten just a couple of months ago,"Catherine said. "But their story touched my heart so much that I couldn't bear the thought of them being put in a cage for a verylong time or even worse."Catherine was worried about the special needs of her new pet friends:“My worry was that it's going to not only be challenging but also require a lot of adjustments on my part,”but apparently it wasn't that much different.“The only adjustment early on was keeping everything where it was but they are soon adaptive （适应的）.”And as she wonderfully put it:“Blind pets see through their hearts."1. What caused the three cats to be blind according to the passage?A. Because of a certain kind of disease.B. Because of a serious car accident.C. Because of some bad persons hurting them.D.

All the other blind pets in the animal home.3. What kind of person is Catherine?A. Hard-working.B. Selfish.C. Kind.D. Rude.4. Not every parent looks forward to the day when their child goes off to school.In fact some parents are not sending their children to school atall.Instead they are choosing to teach their children at home.This is called homeschooling.Parents,caregivers,or private tutors educate children individually at home instead of sending them off to be formally educated in public or private schools.In the U.S. only about three percent of children are homeschooled.There are many reasons why some parents choose to homeschool.One reason is that some parents do not feel their children are safe in school because of bullying （恃强凌弱） .It is said that bullying is very common in the school. Other parents want their children's education to be based on their religion or moral beliefs.Yet other parents think the education in school is not good enough.Homeschooling is also seen as a choice for families that live in rural areas, and families that move frequently.There are many different ways to homeschool,and homeschooling allows parents to design lessons based on their children's needs.Families can purchase textbooks to use or create their own materials.Some parents follow a philosophy called unschooling,which allows a child to determine when and howthey want to learn based on their natural ability.Some worry that homeschooling means students won't have opportunities to communicate with others.To solve this problem,some families have created activities,where a group of homeschooled students will learn and play together and participate in activities that would normally happen in school like field trips.Besides,being homeschooled doesn't mean a student cannot go to college.Most colleges accept homeschooled students.And the homeschooled students can get the same degrees,too.1. How many American students go to public or private schools?A. About 3%.B. About 97%.C. About 50%.D. About 70%.2. Which is the reason that some parents choose homeschooling?A. School bullying exists in some schools.B. Some parents cannot afford the education fees in school.C. Some children want their education to be based on their religion.D. Some parents think the school is too far away.3. What will the parents do to help their children communicate?A. The parents can buy some textbooks.B. The parents will allow children to choose what to learn.C. The parents will organize the children to play together.D. The parents will teach the children by themselves.4. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. Homeschooled students cannot get enough chances to go to college.B. American colleges are fond of the homeschooled students.C. Homeschooled students find it easy to go to some American colleges.D. Homeschooled students have the same rights as students who are formally educated in schools.二、七选五5. Being outspoken is a quality that,when used with skill and wisdom,can set you apart from the crowd. 1. The quality of being outspoken is a positive and active skill.Here are some tips.Gain self-knowledge （自找认识） through journaling.Knowing who you are,what you believe,and how you feel is the beginning of knowing yourself,and journaling is a great way to gain that knowledge. 2. Not only can you know yourself better,journaling is an excellent tool to improve self-confidence.Self-confidence is the foundation of being outspoken.3.

2019-2020学年山西大学附属中学高三英语第三次联考试卷及参考答案

2019-2020学年山西大学附属中学高三英语第三次联考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项A“Why do I feel cold when I have a fever?” “Why does the sun rise in the east?” I knew the day would come when my little girl Sophie would learn to talk and inevitably (不可避免地) start askingthose questions. The questions themselves weren’t worrying me. I was actually looking forward to seeing where her curiosity would lie.What was bothering (烦恼) me was whether or not I would know the answers. In the age of the smartphone, this may seem like a silly worry. The answers to almost everything would be just one Google away.Still, I struggled with how I was going to prepare to become an all-knowing mother. Then one day, it struck me: I didn’t need to have all the answers. What a great example I could set if I let my daughter know that I, too, was still learning. And I realized how much more I could learn if I took another look at things I thought I already knew the answer to with the curiosity of a child. My little girl’s mind is a beginner’s mind--- curious, open to new ideas, eager to learn, and not based on knowledge that already exists. I decided that I would deal with her questions with a beginner’s mind, too.Once I decided to become more curious, I started noticing that curiosity was becoming more important in the workplace, too. It seems that leaders don't need to have all the answers, but they do need to be curious.Curious about curiosity, I searched for answers and found Albert Einstein’s famous words, “I have no special talent. I am only passionately (热情地) curious.” We mightquibble overthe view that Einstein had no special talent, but there is one thing for certain---he wouldn't have solved the puzzles of the universe without his passionate curiosity. Then I came across another Einstein quote, “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason or existence.”1. The advantage of having a beginner’s mind is that ________.A. people can learn much faster.B. people won't be afraid to make mistakes.C. people are willing to receive new things.D. people won't be expected to answer all questions.2. What does the example of Einstein’s words show?A. Einstein was passionate about curiosity.B. Einstein’s quotes are very famous.C. Curiosity is of great significance.D. Curiosity is more necessary than talent.3. What does the underlined phrase “quibble over” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Fight against.B. Argue about.C. Work out.D. Agree withBWhen 36-year-old J Andy Duran decided to return to his favorite high school hobby—skateboarding, the only trouble he expected to have was his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time. However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realizedthatwas the least of his problems.Duran's problems began before he even stepped on a skateboard. He couldn't find anything for fat skaters. What Duran did find was a belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image(形象) of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz—a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others can haverepresentation as well.To encourage plus-size people to take part in the fun sport, Duran created a list of recommended products for fat skaters. He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners.After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding. He has also been contacted by some skateboarding brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and beenoffered free equipment by skating organizations like "Skate Like a Giri ".Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to remove body image stereotypes(刻板印象).“I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strengths and sizes—everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available," he explains.For those hesitant of taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say:“Be kind to yourself. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you can't be it.”4. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The skateboard.B. His hobby.C. His ability.D. The time.5. Why did Duran found Chub Rollz?A. To realize his childhood dream.B. To help plus-size people lose weight.C. To fight for the equal right for fat people.D. To change people's impression of the fat in sports.6. Which word can best describe Duran?A. Generous.B. Inspiring.C. Adaptable.D. Talented.7. Which is most likely Duran's belief?A. Everyone has a gift for sports.B.No one is too fat to enjoy sports.C. Fat people do deserve social concern.D. Skateboarding is most suitable for fat people.CEmojis are very popular among mobile phone and social media users. While there are emojis of almost every kind imaginable, from dinosaurs to joyful tears and eggplants, there is no emoji for forgiveness. Seeing the need to show understanding, aFinnish group decided it was time for a "forgiveness" emoji.Every year, the Unicode Consortium, which sets the standards, adds new emojis to the emoji keyboard on mobile phones and computers. In 2019, the Forgivemoji campaign was launched. Forgivemoji's site made an open call to the public to give their designs for a new forgiveness emoji, with the goal of presenting the symbol to the Unicode Consortium and getting it accepted by people.Tuomo Pesonen, communications director of the Unicode Consortium, explained why the forgiveness emoji isindispensablein today's world. “In our modern communication culture, emojis are an important way of expressing human feelings beyond words.” The campaign gained popularity, reaching over two million people around the world. They received many designs, including a bandaged heart, two holding hands, and people from different cultures hugging.After hundreds of people offered their ideas for this emoji, the winner was announced in February 2020. Former Finnish president Tarja Halonen was selected to choose the winner as she has been important in building bridges between people. The emoji that will be presented to the Unicode Consortium is an image of two handsgiving a thumbs-up symbol in front of a heart. If the Unicode Consortium accepts the design, it will become available to the public in late 2021.The Forgivemoji campaign goes far beyond having a strong influence on social media. The message of showing forgiveness and understanding is helpful for the world at large.8. What's the idea behind the Fogivemoji campaign?A. people develop pleasant habits.B. To get people more friendly to each other.C. To pick a forgiveness emoji for the public to use.D. To make mobile phones and computers more convenient to use.9. What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Necessary.B. Different.C. Changeable.D. Interesting.10. Why was Tarja Halonen selected to choose the winner for the campaign?A. She launched the campaign herself.B. She designed the most popular emoji.C. She was familiar with the emoji history.D. She played an important role in relating people.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Forgiveness is important for peopleB. Emoji for forgiveness is on the wayC. Emojis are becoming interestingly popularD. Finnish people explore the stories of emojisDWhen a fire broke out in my home in the middle of the night, I knew I'd do anything I could to save my family. The medicine that I take for my rheumatoid arthritis causes me to wake up inthe middle of the night with a dry mouth. January 15, 2016, was no different. I, Indiana, US, awoke at 2:30am needing water.I was walking back upstairs from the kitchen when I heard my bulldog , Rock. Whatever Rock was doing down there, it made enough noise for me to go to him. By the time I made it to the bottom of the stairs, he was running up, and he never came up the stairs, no matter what. I think that was his way of telling me, "We've got to go back up. "When I got to the top of the stairs, I turned around and saw a light on, but I didn't remember leaving one on. Iwalked downstairs again, and that's when I saw fire. I immediately shouted to my wife to wake up and get our three kids. I grabbed a knife and cut out the plastic that covered the window to the porch roof. I then pried open the window and kicked out the screen. I started screaming for help. But help never came. I got everybody out on the roof and threw a blanket out there so we wouldn't slip off. It was cold, January cold. Then I started screaming for help. But help never came.Now, I'm scared of heights and have physical issues, what with my rheumatoid arthritis, but I couldn't let my family burn up. So I jumped off the roof. I didn't scoot to the edge; I just jumped and got the wind knocked out of me when I landed. I found our ladder, placed it against the house, and climbed back up to the roof. I wrapped my arms around my daughter and carried my nine - month - old with my teeth, by his little sleeper. Then I climbed down the ladder. Once on the ground, I had my little girl hold her brother, and I went back up to the roof to get my other daughter. Then I went back up again and got my wife. I tried to get my dog, but he just disappeared in the black smoke. I never saw him alive again,I'm no hero. I'm just an ordinary person who'd help anybody. This happened to be the time when I helped my own family. I live to protect my family. Just likeRock—he lived to protect us.12. What made the author wake up at 2:30am?A. My dog's barkingB. The medicine's effectC. A burning fireD. A noise downstairs13. How did Rock tell the author the danger downstairs?A. He turned on a light downstairs.B. He ran to the author's room upstairs.C. He kept barking and running up to stairs.D. He made some noise at the bottom of the stairs.14. What did the author do after his family all stood on the roof?A. He placed a blanket to keep warm.B. He started screaming for help.C. He jumped off the roof.D. He broke open the window and kicked out the screen15. Which ofthe following best describe the author?A. Courageous and responsibleB. Caring and selfishC. Loyal and braveD. Strong and considerate第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Knolly's Tunnel is special in ______ ．A. its environmentB. its functionC. its locationD. its architecture5. The underlined word "site" in the paragraph 4 refers to ______ ．A. TrinidadB. TabaquiteC. Mitchell GapD. Knolly's Tunnel6. What is the purpose of the passage？______A. To suggest a visit to Knolly's Tunnel．B. To introduce the history of Knolly's Tunnel．C. To evaluate the value of Knolly's Tunnel．D. To witness the change of Knolly's Tunnel7. The passage above is probably taken from ______ ．A. a geography textbookB. a travel journalC. a sports reportD. a health and fitness magazineCBlue Planet II's latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures．Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth，the Mariana Trench，have plastic in their stomachs．Indeed，the oceans are drowning in plastic．Though it seems now that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics，consumerplastics are a remarkably recent invention．The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s；the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States．This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change．Plastics pollution research，for instance，is still a very early science．We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be．What we do know，though，is disturbing．Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year．Nearly 700species，including endangered ones，are known to have been affected by it．One in three leatherback turtles，which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish，have been found with plastic in their bellies．Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis．By 2050，that figure is expected to rise to 100percent．And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas．Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat．I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster，worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change．But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change．There are no ocean trash deniers （否认者），at least so far．To do something about it，we don't have to remake our planet energy system．This is not a problem where we don't know what the solution is．We know how to pick up garbage．Anyone can do it．We know how to dispose （处理）of it．We know how to recycle．We can all start by thinking twice before we use single----use plastic products．Things that may seem ordinary，like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag----when taken collectively，these choices really do make a difference．8. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science？______A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult．B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal．C. The world couldn't possibly function without plastics．D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up．9. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3？______A. By statistics．B. By quotations from leading experts．C. By using examples from his own experience．D. By comparison and contrast．10. What can we infer about climate change？______A. Climate change is caused by human activities．B. Some people hold some doubts about climate change．C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution．D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change．11. What is the main idea of this passage？______A. Ocean plastic is a global issue．B. The oceans become choked with plastic．C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken．D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the worldDMaths and Music An excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician．Tell others you are also a musician，however，and they will be hooked．Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity，there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in．I'm partly referring here to the "Mozart effect"，where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent，including at maths，than other children．It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular：we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort．But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest．If you want your brain to work better，you clearly have to put in hard work．As for learning to play the piano，it also takes effort．Surely a connection is quite reasonable．Both maths and music deal with abstract structures，so if you become good at one，then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other．If this is correct，it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability．It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis．To become better at one，you need to improve your fitness and coordination （协调）．That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other．Abstract structures don't exist only in maths and music．If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar．Yet we don't hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic （语言的）ability．Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical，so it wouldn't be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar．Music，however，is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it．As such，it seems different from maths，so there wouldn't be any connection between the two．Let's see how we solve problems of the "A is to B as C is to D" kind．These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths．Consider the opening of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik （小夜曲）．The second phrase （小节）is a clear answer to the first．The listener thinks："The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord （和弦）；what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7？" Music is full of puzzles like this．If you are good at them，expectations will constantly be set up in your mind．The best moments surprise you by being unexpected，but we need the expectations in the first place．12. What does the author say about "Mozart effect"？______A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about．B. The findings from it gave people wrong information．C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected．D. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective．13. The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3to show that ______ ．A. football and tennis are played in a similar way．B. certain skills may be developed through practice．C. music and maths have something in common．D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields．14. We can infer from Paragraph 4that ______ ．A. language seems more like maths than music does．B. language is less appealing to learners．C. mathematicians are good at music learning．D. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music．15.

Since last year, Natalie, 15, hasbeen taking lost or thrown — away fishing nets and rope and transforming them into bracelets, rope art, mats, baskets and necklaces.Last year, Natalie was working on an assignment for her science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) class. As part of the assignment, she learned about “ghost nets”, which are fishing nets that have been left or lost in the ocean by people who fish.“They have huge effects on our environment. They can kill coral reefs and many animals,” said Natalie. “46 percent of the Pacific garbage is ghost gear.” The Great Pacific Garbage is a huge collection of trash floating in the Pacific Ocean betweenHawaiiandCalifornia.Natalie told her mom she wanted to do something to help. She got in touch with a handful of charities, including the Sea Protection Society and Coastal Action.After getting some shipments of ghost nets and rope from those organizations, Natalie, with the help of her family, started turning thediscardedgear into new artworks. “We've made bracelets, rope art, mats, baskets, and we've made necklaces, which also use beach glass in them,” she said. Natalie then started selling the artworks online, the crafty buying and selling website.She donated all her profits-minus a small sum of change to cover supplies — to the charities that donated fishing supplies to her. She's also been donating all the income from her non-profit business, called Nautical Waters, to charity. Natalie said she hoped to continue her passion for ocean life, with plans to study marine biology in university.4. How did Natalie help with ghost nets?A. By turning them into artworks.B. By asking support from her mother.C. By collecting money from charities.D. By selling ghost nets at a good price.5. What made Natalie decide to do something with ghost nets?A. To collect supplies for the artworks.B. To prepare for her study in university.C. To protect coral reefs and marine animals.D. To complete an assignment for her STEM class.6. What docs the underlined word “discarded" in Paragraph5refer to?A. Polluted.B. Rare.C. Waste.D. Discovered.7. What is the best title for the text.A. Ghost Nets Ready forSaleB. Charities Make a Big DifferenceC. Natalie's Passion for Ocean TreasuresD. TeenTurnsOld Fishing Nets into ArtworksC"Sorry, but I don't agree with you..."This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears. I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone, because I don't want to lose a friend. I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego（自尊心）ishurt.Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be," If you aren't able to see my point of view, then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration, either." But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, "I don't agree with the way things are done." She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter. However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth. That's when need to listen to what she says.I've learned that one way to help my friend is for me to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully. While we can't control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the other person.And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions.In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback（反馈）from others,knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions. Though I don't like being disagreed with, I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.8.

How to deal with disagreements.DIn a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,”“Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist.12. What is the result of the survey?A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent.B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer.C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people.D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework.13. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning?A. They can entertain themselves.B. They can take in fresh air.C. They get a sense of achievement.D. They can delay other things.14. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish.B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink.C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals.D. Most prefer cleaning their toiletto washing dishes by hand.15. What column does the text belong to?A. Feature Story.B. Family Life.C. Scientific Hotspot.D. Finance Focus.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amaz ed that Knolly’s Tunnel has stood up to the earth’s movement over so many years.Much research is being done on the tunnel. At the top of Knolly’s Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at t he beginning of Knolly’s Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones. Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel, though not inside.On your way in, you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel. These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed. Knolly’s Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly’s Tunnel.On the drive to Knolly’s Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets. A gas station and a health centre are also close by.For those who admire architecture, Knolly’s Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad. For the nature lovers, there is no better place for them to be and for the historians, they can walk or drive through Knolly’s Tunnel knowing that many of our an cestors toiled (worked hard) on its structure. So when you visit Trinidad, don’t forget to take a look at Knolly’s Tunnel!4. Knolly’s Tunnel is special in __________.A. its environmentB. its functionC. its locationD. its architecture5. The underlined word “site” in the paragraph 4 refers to ________.A. TrinidadB. TabaquiteC. Mitchell GapD. Knolly’s Tunnel6. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To suggest a visit to Knolly’s Tunnel.B. To introduce the history o f Knolly’s Tunnel.C. To evaluate the value of Knolly’s Tunnel.D. To witness the change of Knolly’s Tunnel7. The passage above is probably taken from ____________.A. a geography textbookB. a travel journalC. a sports reportD. a health and fitness magazineCBlue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowlypoisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumerplastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet ene rgy system.This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single----use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag----when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.8. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.9. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A. By statistics.B. By quotations from leading experts.C. By using examples from his own experience.D. By comparison and contrast.10. What can we infer about climate change?A. Climate change is caused by human activities.B. Some people hold some doubts about climate change.C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Ocean plastic is a global issue.B. The oceans become choked with plastic.C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the worldDMaths and MusicAn excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician. Tell others you are also a musician,however, and they will be hooked. Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity, there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in.I’m partly referring here to the “Mozart effect”, wh ere children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent, including at maths, than other children. It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular: we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort. But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest. If you want your brain to work better, you clearly have to put in hard work. As for learning to play the piano, it also takes effort.Surely a connection is quite reasonable. Both maths and music deal with abstract structures, so if you become good at one, then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other. If this is correct, it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability. It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis. To become better at one, you need to improve your fitness and coordination (协调). That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other.Abstract structures don’t exist only in maths and music. If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar. Yet we don’t hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic (语言的) ab ility. Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical, so it wouldn’t be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar. Music, however, is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it. As such, it seems different from maths, so there wouldn’t be any connection between the two.Let’s see how we solve problems of the “A is to B as C is to D”kind. These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths. Consider the opening of Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (小夜曲).The second phrase (小节) is a clear answer to the first. The listener thinks: “The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord (和弦); what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7?” Music is full of puzzles like this. If you are good at them, expectations will constantly be set up in your mind. The best moments surprise you by being unexpected, but we need the expectations in the first place.12. What does the author say about “Mozart effect”？A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about.B. The findings from it gave people wrong information.C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected.D. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective.13. The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3 to show that ______.A. football and tennis are played in a similar way.B. certain skills may be developed through practice.C. music and maths have something in common.D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields.14. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ______.A. language seems more like maths than music does.B. language is less appealing to learners.C. mathematicians are good at music learning.D. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music.15. What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph?A. How music differs from maths.B. Why musicians possess mathematical abilities.C. Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians.D. How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths.第二节（共5小题：每小题3分，满分15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。
