2021年江苏海安中学高三英语上学期期中考试试卷及答案
2021年江苏海安中学高三英语上学期期中考试试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ASwimming Holes in AmericaIn America, these secret swimming holes are hidden and hard to reach but well worth the adventure.Cummins FallsLooking for the best place to escape the summer heat in the heartland of America? For more than 100 years, Cummins Falls, a scenic,75-foot waterfall located in Jackson County, TN, has been a treasure for Tennessee natives. But now, the secret is out! Although it’s a bit tough to get to, once in the park, the mountains and river provide unmatched beauty on your way to taking a swim in Tennessee's eighth-largest waterfall.Sliding RockA popular place to cool off during those hot North Carolina summers, Sliding Rock waterfall is located in the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County. A flattened rock about 60 feet lies in a nearly 7-foot-deep pool at the bottom, making this natural waterslide a great place to visit with people of all ages.Mooney FallsIt is the tallest water feature in the Grand Canyon, rising 190 feet above the surface. Named after an explorer in the 1800s, Mooney Falls is accessible only by crawling（爬）through 2 underground passages and then climbing down a sheer cliff（峭壁）face with just a couple of chains to hold on to. Although it is tough to get to, the view and the cool alone make it worth the trip.Lihue EstateA private swimming hole at the old Lihue Sugar Farm on Kauai, HI, was changed into an inner-tube water ride by Kauai Backcountry Adventures in 2003 and opened to adults. The waters for this 2.5-mile journey, which come from near the top of Mount Waialeale—one of the wettest spots in the world—are channeled through ditches（沟渠）that were hand-dug by farm workers over a century ago.1. Which hole may be the favourable destination for families?A. Lihue Estate.B. Sliding Rock.C. Mooney Falls.D. Cummins Falls.2. What can we learn about Mooney Falls from the text?A. It wasfound by an explorer.B. It was hand-dug in the 1800s.C. It is dangerous to arrive there.D. It is the tallest fall in the world.3. What is special about Lihue Estate?A. It is man-made.B. It is a private area.C. Its water is from underground.D. It lies on the top of Mount WaialealeBHoneybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings toproduce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.As with many scientific advances-IsaacNewton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt-Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect localPasadenahoneybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs forpropulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they-predicted.Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.4. What does the author intend to show by mentioningNewtonandFranklin?A. Roh’s admiration for them.B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.C. Their outstanding talent for science.D. Their similar achievements in discovery.5. What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?A. The air weight.B. Its leg extension.C. The water movement.D. Its continuous wingbeat.6. What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fast flightB. Driving force.C. Pulling speed.D. Explosive power.7. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Honeybees can surf to safety.B. Bees help scientists make inventions.C. Insects can adapt to the environment.D. Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.CCalifornia's August Complex Fire tore through more than 1,600 square miles of forest last summer,burning nearly every tree in its path. It was the largest wildfire in the state's recorded history, breaking the record previously set in 2018. After the fire, land managers must determine where to most efficiently plant new trees.A predictive mapping model called the Postfire Spatial Conifer Restoration Planning Tool recently described in Ecological Applications could inform these decisions, saving time and expense. The tool can “show where young trees are needed most, where the forest isn't going to come back on its own, where we need to intervene（干预）if we want to maintain forests," says lead author Joseph Stewart, an ecologist at the University of California, Davis.To develop the model, Stewart and his colleagues classified data collected from more than 1,200 study plots in 19 areas that burned between 2004 and 2012. They combined these data with information on rainfall, geography, climate, forest composition and bum severity.Theyalso included how many seeds sample conifer trees （针叶树）produced in 216locations over 18 years, assessing whether the trees release different numbers of seeds after a fire.The tool's potential benefits are significant, says Kimberley Davis, a conservation scientist at theUniversityofMontana, who was not involved in the study. Those managers will still have to make hard decisions, such as which species to plant in areas that may experience warmer and drier conditions resulting from climate change, but the model provides some research-based guidance to help the forests recover.8. What challenge do land managers face after the wildfire?A. Lack of wood supplies.B. Where to plant new trees best.C. How to save the burned trees.D. Loss of trees and wild animals.9. What's the main idea of paragraph 2?A. The function of the tool.B. The disadvantages of the tool.C. The improvement of the tool.D. The development of the tool.10. What does the underlined word "They" refer to?A. The study plots.B. The data.C. Stewart and his colleagues.D. The seeds.11. What isDavis' attitude towards the tool?A. Skeptical.B. Ambiguous.C. Tolerant.D. Optimistic.DMany teens may feel anxious sometimes. It’s the kind of nervousness that makes you bite your nails before a big test. We spend more time online than we should. We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media. Young people are developing a false view of life.On the screen, we see what people want to show us. People usually only post photos where they are looking their best. They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time. No one seems sad or lonely. In short, life isfabulous. But sooner or later, our young people compare their real life to it. They find that theirs doesn’t seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students. It’s reported that a lot more college students feel ―overwhelming anxiety. The percentage jumped from 50% in 2011 to 62% in 2016. Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country. It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.Certainly, we can’t blame it on social media alone. We expect toomuch from our children and a lot of these expectations aren’t reasonable. Their schedules are packed with sports, clubs and homework. They don’t have enough free time. We want our children to succeed, and we don’t care how much it costs.As parents, we must have more balance. On one hand, we push too hard, and on the other hand, we make life too easy for children. We shouldn’t and can’t promise our children that they will always be happy. We shouldn’t try to protect them from the problems of everyday life. Let them solve the problems in person.12. What is the text mainly about?A. What causes teens’ nervousness.B. How to deal with teens’ anxiety.C. What a view of life means to people.D. How to treat social media appropriately.13. What does the underlined word “fabulous” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Wonderful.B. Encouraging.C. Anxious.D. Doubtful.14. Why does the author mention the numbers in paragraph 3?A. To draw teachers’ attention.B. To show teachers’ mental problems.C. To present the seriousness of teens’ anxiety.D. To show adults have more problems than teens.15. What should parents do to help their children out?A. Try to meet their expectations.B. Help them with their homework.C. Give them more free time to play sports.D. Allow them to solve their own problems in life.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。

C D．Washington Capital Sites at Night Bicycle Tour．17.What will you do on the Capital City Bike Tour？______A. Meet famous people．B. Go to a national park．C. Visit well-known museums．D. Enjoy interesting stories．BTake a look inside a high school classroom．You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks．Yet，look closer，and you might notice a familiar scene：many of these students are not paying attention．Instead，they are dozing off （打盹）or even completely asleep．Today，the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep．This lack （缺乏）of sleep is a serious problem，especially as students are doing more than ever with their time．They come to school early，spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests，then run off to practices and meetings，and come home to be faced with even more work．And the homework load these days is not light；teachers give hours worth of homework each night．Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly．Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older．After puberty（青春期），the body's internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p．m．So even if a student falls asleep at eleven，they would need to sleep until at least 8 a．m．to get a full night's sleep．Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin，those nine hours are clearly being shortened．Few high schools start after 8 a．m．However，there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day．In schools where the start time is after 8：30 in the morning，the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students．They note that the students miss class less，pay more attention in class，perform better in class，and report lower levels of depression （沮丧）．The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day．18.Which of the following would the author agree with？______A. High school students must go to bed before 10 p．m．B. High schools should begin their school day at a later time．C. Most schools should push forward the start of their school day．D. Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older．19.The second paragraph mainly discusses ______ ．A. why high school students should get more sleepB. what's life like for high school students at presentC. why high school students feel sleepy in the classroomD. how to lighten high school students' homework load20.The underlined word "shifts" probably means " ______ "．A. arrivesB. reducesC. increasesD. changes21.How do the teachers feel about the results from pushing backward their school day？______A. DisappointedB. SatisfiedC. PuzzledD. SurprisedCScientists have argued for long over whether birds show real intelligence（智力）．Some scientists believe birds have abilities including communication and different kinds of memory．In some unusual cases，their abilities seem better than those of humans．Irene Pepperberg，a birds expert，did research about a grey parrot named．Griffin．Ms．Pepperberg says Griffin can arrange objects in order of size．She says the talking bird also can combine words in the right order．For example，he will combine words when asking for a piece of food．The researcher says experts had thought that only humans and other mammals with large brains have the ability to combine objects and words．She believes that bird brains have the ability to understand that complex（复杂的）tasks must be done in the correct order．Some birds have other memory skills．For example，they collect and store thousands of seeds in autumn，and find them later in winter．Alan Kamil and Alan Bond of the University of Nebraska are studying the memories of birds called jays and nutcrackers．Their experiments show that these birds use natural objects to find the seeds they have stored．It's said some birds can learn as many as 2，000 different songs．Songs may have developed as a way for birds to communicate with other birds．According to Verner Bingman of Bowling Green State University in Ohio，birds must have a special guidance system in their brain．He says that understanding how a bird's brain operates may help us better understand how a human brain processes information．However，some scientists do still believe birds do many things that appear to be acts of thoughtful intelligence．In most cases，they say，their behavior is simply instinctive（本能的），no reasoning power directing it．22.What is the main subject discussed in the passage？______A. The intelligence of birds．B. Irene Pepperberg's study on birds．C. The difference between humans and birds．D. Ways for experts to train birds．23.What's the main idea of Paragraphs 2 - 3？______A. Griffin，jays and nutcrackers are clever birds．B. Objects help birds remember things．C. Birds are as intelligent as humans．D. Birds have certain memory skills．24.It can be inferred from this passage that ______ ．A. most scientists believe birds have real intelligenceB. mammals understand the relationship between objects and wordsC. maybe trees help jays to find the seeds they have storedD. birds always communicate with one anther by singingDHow fit are your teeth？Are you lazy about brushing them？Never fear：An inventor is on the case．An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush，and it lets you track your performance on your phone．The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week．It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection．The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right （don't forget the insides of the teeth!）and make sure you're brushing long enough．"It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis，" says Thomas Serval，the French inventor．The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone，so developers could，for instance，create a game controlled by your toothbrush．You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth．"We try to make it smart but also fun．" Several says．Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father．He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth．They said "yes，" but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry．He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed．The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer，from 99 to 199，developing on features．The US is the first target market．Serval says that one day，it'll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera．The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush．25.Which is one of the feature（特征）of the Kolibree toothbrush？______A. It can sense how users brush their teeth．B. It can track users' school performance．C. It can detect users' fear of seeing a dentist．D. It can help users find their phones．26.What can we learn from Serval's words in Paragraph 3？______A. You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist．B. You should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis．C. You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist．D. You'd like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day．27.Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun？______A. It can be used to update mobile phones．B. It can be used to play mobile phone gamesC. It can send messages to other usersD. It can talk to its developers．28.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about？______A. How Serval found out his kids lied to him．B. Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary．C. How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth．D. What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush29.What can we infer（推断）about Serval's children？______A. They were unwilling to brush their teethB. They often failed to clean their toothbrushes．C.

many of them share in common．For example，healthy people tend to live an active lifestyle．Exercise is usually a main part of their lives．They spend less time in front of a TV，and more time out and in achieving things and living life．Being on your feet all day and sitting in front of a computer can mean a loss or gain of hundreds of calories a day．Healthy people surround themselves with other healthy people．We are highly influenced by the people closest to us．Surrounding yourself with healthy people tends to make you healthy by association．Not only are you inspired by your healthy friends，but there's also a sense of social pressure to be healthy yourself when you're around them．Who says social pressure has to be a bad thing？Does your job make you feel bad？Healthy people have a job that makes themhappy．We've all heard the saying that if you do a job you enjoy，you'll never work a day in your lives．Happiness and health are highly related．Healthy people tend to behappy．Not only do healthy people tend to like their jobs，but they tend to live for them．They look forward to getting up every day and living their lives to the fullest．People with self-confidence look healthy．Healthy people have confidence inthemselves．They don't worry about what other people think．They surround themselves with positive people，and they go about their days as if they can achieve anything．Healthy people like smiling．Try smiling at everyone and not only do you get a smile back，but it makes you feel good about yourself．You've just made someone's day better．Healthy people understand the link between happiness and health，and they tend to walk around with smiles on their faces，or laughter in their hearts．Healthy people don't wait for problems to come to them - they go after problems．Regular checkups（检查）are the normal things for healthy people．People who live long and healthy lives catch problems before they become so big that they destroy their lives．They discover them early and then take action to prevent them from happening again in thefuture．Do you consider yourself a healthy person？How many of these habits fall into your life？What other habits of healthy people have you noticed？五、单词拼写-单句（本大题共10小题，共10.0分）52.Sometimes it is difficult to solve problems related to g______ gap（沟）．53.Are you really willing to offer me the piece of land in e______ for such

your letter， I know that____________Yours truly，Li Hua答案和解析1.【答案】A【解析】答案：A．把生命（life）比作海洋（ocean），是普通的比喻，是泛指，前面需用不定冠词a/an，因ocean以元音发音为首，发/əʊ/，因而为an；后强调到达彼岸的品质，需用定冠词the，故答案为A．生命如渡河．只有坚强的意志力才能使人到达彼岸．冠词的辨析需要考生理解冠词的使用意义．如果是普通的比喻，则用泛指；如果是需要强调，则用定冠词the．2.【答案】A【解析】答案A．strength"力量，强项"；talent"天赋，天才"；ability"能力"；skill"技能，技巧"．结合句意．故选：A．句意：--你为什么选择在国际旅行社工作？--你知道的，英语是我的强项．本题是基础题，考查名词性词义辨析3.【答案】D【解析】考查动词短语的辨析．stay up熬夜；不睡觉；show up出现，到场；mix up混合；把（某人）搞糊涂，分不清；混同；make up组成；化妆；补足；编造．句意：如果天文学家们研究一下我所发现的，他们就会发现我不是在编造什么．火星上确实有生命．故选：D．如果天文学家们研究一下我所发现的，他们就会发现我不是在编造什么．火星上确实有生命．本题考查动词短语的辨析．在高中的学习中平时要多积累动词及动词固定搭配的用法，考试时只能凭借记忆力来答题，尤其是单项选择很难推出某个搭配的意思，所以平时的积累记忆是尤其重要的．4.【答案】C【解析】答案：C根据句意可知，Reed City 动物爱好者需在二者之间做出选择，即不能同时拥有两个，所以用both指前面提到的 cats or birds，故答案为C．Reed City 动物爱好者必须在猫和鸟之间做出选择，因为他们不被容许二者都有．考生要弄清any、either、both、each之间的区别，并在具体语境中灵活使用．5.【答案】A【解析】答案A．动词短语" be separated from…"，意为"与…分离"，分析句子结构可知，让步状语从句为"though it may cause short-term discomfort"，主句为"_____ from your family and friends doesn't have to be as painful as it seems"，主句的谓语动词为"doesn't have to be "，"_____ from your family and friends"为主语，因此横线处为动名词作主语，根据句子的意思可知，用动名词的被动形式作主语，即"Being separated"作主语，因此A项符合语境，故选A．与家人或朋友的分离尽管会带来短期的不适但并非如表面上看起来的那样痛苦．本题考查动名词用法．解答这类题目首先要读懂句意，其次要分析出动名词在句中所作的成分，若动名词在句中作主语时，要分析主被动关系，主动用doing，被动用being done，还要判断动作有无先后关系，考虑用完成式having done或 having been done．6.【答案】A【解析】本题考查简单句．When引导时间状语从句，该句完整的结构为When they were asked what they thought of Justin's having been taken by aliens，已经有连词when来并列两个简单句，所以主句应该用完整的结构most of them said… 故选：A．当被问及他们对贾斯汀被外星人带走有何看法时，大多数人说警方应该尽快调查此事本句考查简单句．在英语中，两个简单句不可能仅仅用逗号连接，两个简单句之间的某种关系应该以主从复合句的形式或非谓语动词的形式表现出来，所以做该类题目时，一定要先判断两个简单句之间的关系，再看有无连词．7.【答案】A【解析】本题考查动词辨析．根据句意和结构可知这里使用动词短语occur to sb意为"某人想起某事"，happen发生；strike使想起；belong属于．故选：A．当我不知道做什么的时候，我确实想起了出国的想法．本题考查动词词义辨析，考生在平时的学习中应注意积累相应的词汇和搭配，并牢记其意思．在做题时，将词义和题干相结合，从语法、句子结构尤其是句意上去判断，句意通顺，符合逻辑，即正确答案．8.【答案】D【解析】答案：D 考查动词短语．look forward to期待；look out for留心，提防；lookup to尊敬；look back on回顾；回忆．根据句意可知，此处表达"回忆"之意，looking back on符合题意，故选：D．人们常常有一种奇怪的感觉，当回顾过去的生活，想着他们留下的事情．根据句子大意，分析句子结构，区别选项动词短语词意，最后得出最佳答案．9.【答案】D【解析】答案是D．本题考查介词后宾语从句中的引导词；介词on 后面的宾语从句中出现了强调句型，去掉it is that，从句为"___the trade war will come to an end"根据句意，"如何结束贸易战争"．故选：D．现在全世界的注意力都集中在贸易战争将如何结束．名词性从句考查的关键是连接词的选用和语序，因此，我们首先要搞清从句的性质，掌握各连接词的用法，在此基础上判断．此外，关注名词性从句用陈述语序．10.【答案】C【解析】根据句意可知第一个说话人已经得到一本畅销书，get这个动作是发生在过去，用一般过去时．故选：C．--看，这是过去两个星期人们一直谈论的畅销书．--你究竟是怎么得到一本的？本题考查一般过去时，表示过去某个时间或某段时间发生的动作，也可以从上下文相应的动作判断．还要注意语态问题．11.【答案】D【解析】答案是D．本题考查insist后接宾语从句的用法；insist表示"坚持要求"时从句中的动词用"should+do"，should可以省略；但是insist表示"坚持说，坚持认为"时，根据一般宾语从句的规则：主句是一般现在时，从句中可以用不同的时态；主句是过去时，从句中往往用于过去相关的时态；本题表示"坚持要求"，所以从句中的动词用"（should）+do"，由此判断答案是D．工人坚持要求每天中午提供免费午餐，老板只能让步．在掌握虚拟语气的规则的基础上，判断题干属于什么类型的虚拟，然后根据语境，选用恰当的动词形式表达虚拟．12.【答案】A【解析】答案：A 从句子结构看，句中有逗号，又没有连词，说明此句是复合句．后一个分句是非限制性定语从句，先行词是the fifth grade，表示时间，故用when 引导．故选A项．我直到五年级才成为一个真正的攀登者，当时我是去救一个挂在树枝上的风筝．连接词的选择，应根据句意及句子结构以及连接词在从句中所作的成分选择．13.【答案】D【解析】答案：D 考查语言交际．That's all right不要紧；没关系；Take it easy别着急，别激动；With pleasure愉快地；高兴地；Go right ahead请说吧．根据句意，D项正确．--金先生，我已经看过你的节目了，我能提些建议吗？--请说吧．我洗耳恭听．语言交际是灵活多变的，要注意根据语言环境具体问题具体分析．要做好这类题，需从以下三个方面着手：1．仔细审题，明确大意：首先要仔细审题，即在对话不完整的情况下，尽量弄懂该篇对话的大意和情景（如购物、看病、问路和应答、约会、口语应用等）．2．分析对话，试填答案：在解题过程中，要根据具体语境和上下文，分析对话中所缺部分、判断所缺的句子．3．全文复读，融会贯通：在试填好答案之后，应从头至尾再把对话读一遍，按照对话情境，中心内容，推理判断．14.【答案】B【解析】答案是B．本题考查表示推测的情态动词的用法．should表示推测时往往表示"按照常理常规的推测"，表示"按照道理应该…"，不符合语境，排除；情态动词must表示推测只能出现在肯定句中，表示有客观依据的推测"准是，一定是"，本题无客观依据，排除．will表示"会…"，比较肯定的推测，不符合语境；can表示推测往往出现在否定句或疑问句中；在肯定句中出现时表示"可能会…"，往往与一般情况不相符．根据常识判断，厦门冬天通常比较暖，本题中指冬天可能会很冷，故答案选B．--厦门的天气怎样？--夏天热而潮湿，但是冬天有时会很冷．要在正确理解情态动词的基本含义的基础上，整体理解语境中的情感态度，做出合理的判断．15.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．in turn依次，轮流；by turns交替地；in return作为回报；in answer回应．根据has given me so much help 可知用in return作为回报．故选C．他给我这么多帮助，我真地想为他做些事情作为回报．本题考查介词短语的辨析，平时多记忆一些短语含义，理解语境结合各个选项的含义答题．16.【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】D【解析】1．A．细节理解题．在Cherry Blossom Bike Tour in Washington， D．C．中Reserve your spot before availability - and the cherry blossoms disappear!可知樱花消失之前要提前预定自己的位置，故答案为A．2．D．细节理解题．根据 Knowledgeable guides will entrtain you with the most interesting stories about Presidents，Congress， memorials， and parks可知知识渊博的导游会给你带来最有趣的关于总统、国会、纪念馆和公园的故事，由此判断答案为D．本文属于广告布告类阅读，文章介绍了华盛顿的四个骑行路线，具体介绍了他们从骑行时间，骑行路线及注意事项等信息．此题主要考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．18.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】C 【小题3】D 【小题4】B【解析】1．B．细节题．根据文章第四段内容，The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that m ore schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day ．研究人员说：研究结果是非常重要的，更多的学校应该推迟他们早上的上课的时间．故作者也会同意该观点，结合选项，故选B．2．C．细节题．根据文章第二段内容，Today， the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep． This l ack （缺乏） of sleep is a serious problem， especially as students are doing more than ever with their time． They come to school early， spend hours listening to teachers an d taking tests， then run off to practices and meetings， and come home to be face d with even more work． And the homework load these days is not light； teachers give hours worth of homework each night．现如今，大多数高中生都没有得到足够的睡眠，缺乏睡眠是一个严重的事情．尤其学生的学业负担又重，学生们很早的到学校，又在学校听讲做作业，不断的练习这样是非常的透支体力的．放学到家又还要做很多家庭作业，这样学生们的睡眠时间就更少了，因此会在课堂上犯困打瞌睡．结合选项，故选C．3．D．词义猜测题．根据文章第三段内容， Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older．随着孩子的长大，9小时的睡眠时间发生了改变，现在孩子们的睡眠时间是不够的，因此导致孩子课上犯困．结合选项，故选D．4．B．细节题．根据文章第四段内容， In schools where the start time is after 8：30in the morning， the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their stud ents．They note that the students miss class less， pay more attention in class， per form better in class， and report lower levels of depression （沮丧）．在一些学校，早上的上课时间已经推迟到了8点半以后，老师们认为这样的话孩子们会有更多的睡眠时间，会让学生课上的表现有真正的改变．他们在课堂上注意力更集中，表现更好，而且也更积极主动的参与课堂活动．结合选项，故老师们对时间的改变是满意的，故选B．本文章主要讲述了现今高中生课业负担重，家庭作业多，导致学生睡眠不足而课上犯困精力不集中的事，因此学校应该减少课业，推迟上课时间，让学生能有足够的睡眠．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．22.【答案】【小题1】A

complex（复杂的） tasks must be done in the correct order．"以及第三段的第一句话"Some birds have other memory skills．"以及最后一句话"Their experiments show that these birds use natural objects to find the seeds they have

He went through life accepting the mixture of good things and bad things. He never looked for any explanation or reason about why things happened just the way they did.One morning Nikos woke up. He started to shave, as he did every morning, but then he noticed that the mirror on the bathroom wall wasn’t quite straight. He tried to adjust it, but as soon as he touched it, the mirror fell off the wall and hit the floor with a huge crash. It broke into a thousand pieces. Nikos knew that some people thought this was unlucky. “Seven years’ bad luck,” they said, “when a mirror broke.” But Nikos didn’t care.After that he went to make himself a sandwich, which needed some tomato sauce. When he picked up a jar of tomato sauce, it fell from his hand. Tomato sauce was everywhere. Some people, he knew, thought that this was also supposed to bring bad luck. But Nikos didn’t care.On his way to work, he saw a black cat running away from him. He didn’t care.Even though Nikos wasn’t superstitious, he thought that something bad was certain to happen to him today. He told everybody at work what had happened. “Something bad will happen to you today,” they all said. But nothing bad happened to him.That evening, his friend thought Nikos was going to have bad things. However, whatever they played, Nikos won. “Go on then, Nikos,” his friend shouted, “use all the money you have won to buy some lottery tickets!” Nikos did it. The next day, everybody was watching the draw for the lottery on TV. The first number came out, for the third prize. It was Nikos’ number. Then the second number, for the second prize. It was Nikos’ number. Then the first prize. It was Nikos’ number as well.He WON all three of the big lottery prizes!4．The following things are thought of as the signs of unluck EXCEPT ________.A．A black cat B．A sandwich with tomato sauceC．A broken mirror D．Spilt tomato sauce5．What does the underlined word “superstitious” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Not studying or looking at things thoroughly.B．Controlling bad luck to become good fortune.C．Believing certain events bring good or bad luck.D．Taking actions to keep bad things from occurring.6．Why did Nikos’ friend recommend him to buy lottery tickets?A．To test his luck.B．To change his fortune.C．To bring in more money.D．To use up all the money.7．What can we infer from the passage?A．Nikos went to great lengths to know what lay behind all the things.B．The mirror on the bathroom wall broke into pieces out of no reason.C．The occasional things failed to convince Nikos of the coming bad luck.D．Nikos’ story tells what happens in life has nothing to do with the evil signs.The Wampanoag language was not dead. To call it dead would be an insult to the ancestors who left it for future generations as a way to communicate-and a way to teach. But it was “unspoken” until linguist Jessie “Little Doe” Baird brought it back. Her project’s Wampanoag dictionary holds more than 11,000 entries.Words on paper are not a language. A language lives through the people who speak it. So Baird founded the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project. She teaches community classes and family camps. Kids in grade school and high school have the opportunity to learn the language.The Wampanoags have lived for 12,000 years in Massachusetts and parts of Rhode Island. When the Pilgrims (清教徒) met the first Indigenous people, those were the Wampanoags. The English settlers brought disease that killed thousands-an estimated two-thirds of the Wampanoag Nation died-as well as war and rules that fragmented (分裂) the tribes. There once were 69 tribes in the nation; now there are three. Baird is a citizen of the Mashpee tribe. Her ancestors left a key to their language. They translated the King James Bible into Wampanoag. They left hundreds of documents in their written alphabet (字母表).Baird describes a vision she had where her ancestors helped her see it was time to bring the language home. She began her research, which led her to a graduate degree at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she learned from and worked with other linguists. In 2010, she was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow, earning a “genius grant” to further her work.“It’s incredibly difficult to reclaim a language, even more so when there are no speakers alive, and even more so when you’re driving 90 minutes a day, each way, to attend graduate school, with four small children at home.”“I might have been afraid to do the work had I known that,” Baird says with a laugh now. “But I didn’t, and so here we are.”8．What is the situation of the Wampanoag language?A．It has entirely gone by now.B．It is being brought back to life.C．It is a compulsory course in schools.D．It has got well-recognized in the USA．9．What may contribute to the downfall of Wampanoag?A．The wide use of English in the new land.B．The religious change of the Wampanoags.C．The sharp reduced population of Wampanoag.D．The shortage of reference books on the language.10．What’s the key element of saving the Wampanoag language?A．The local linguists lend a timely hand.B．Children are asked to learn the language.C．The government gives the financial support.D．The materials ancestors left lay the foundation.11．Which of the following words can best describe Jessie Baird?A．Determined and responsible B．Considerate and ambitiousC．Intelligent and kind-hearted D．Independent and adaptableA poll of 2,000 UK adults found more than one third (36%) admit to rarely, or never, reading cookies or terms and conditions online before accepting them. And of those who do, 38% spend a mere 30 seconds or less scanning through. About 31% simply can’t be bothered to read the small print, while about one quarter (26%) claim they do not have the time.It also emerged that 85% have accepted cookies on a website without reading the policies or making any changes, and that 62% will accept despite not knowing what they are agreeing to.The research was commissioned (委托) by Avast, which has teamed up with baking star Prue Leith to help educate Internet users about digital cookies. She has created a limited run of her chocolate chip cookies, which are free for people to order online and come with tips and tricks on how to scan the digital kind of cookies.Prue Leith said, “While recent times have highlighted the importance of being connected online, it’s also never been more important for people to feel safe while doing so. Many people of all ages, but particularly of my generation, aren’t as familiar with certain aspects of the Internet, and this of course includes digital cookies. This can prove to be a barrier to learning about everything that being online has to offer, so I am absolutely delighted to be working with Avast to help people understand what cookies are and how they work.”The survey also found half of adults are “fed up” with being asked to accept cookies when landing on a web page, although 30% find it helpful that cookies remember information such as passwords and preferences. But 29% are confused by cookie policies, and 70% even believe websites intentionally try to confuse them with the language they use. However, over two thirds (68%) feel they could be risking their online privacy when accepting a “cookie policy” without reading it. As a result, three quarters (75%) think Internet users need to be better educated on what is included in cookie policies.12．Prue Leith baked a limited run of cookies to ________.A．promote her baked products online.B．offer free cookies to people in need.C．maintain the cooperation with Avast.D．spread the knowledge on digital cookies. 13．How does the author present the result of the research?A．By conducting polls.B．By listing statistics.C．By exploring phenomenon and nature.D．By analyzing causes and effects.14．What will the author tell in the following paragraph?A．The side effects of leaking personal privacy.B．The gravity of fully accepting digital cookies.C．The drawbacks of overlooking digital cookiesD．The specific tips on how to read digital cookies.15．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To remind netizens to pay more attention to digital cookies.B．To appeal to consumers to be concerned about the online tricks.C．To advocate caring for the generation unfamiliar with the Internet.D．To advise the Internet companies to revise digital cookies policies.二、七选五“We are becoming the people we wanted to be,” Gloria Steinem, a journalist and social activist, declared in the 1970s. So have women really become the people they wanted to be?understanding, here are some true data about women at work.17One of the great changes in gender equality is taking place in education. More women graduate from high school, attend and graduate from college. In 1994, 63 percent of female high school graduates and 61 percent of male high school graduates were enrolled in college the following fall, according to the Pew Research Center. By 2012, that number for women jumped to 71 percent, but remained unchanged for males, at 61 percent.The wage gap between males and females is still existing.Even as more women are flooding onto college campuses, here’s a disappointing trend.18 But there still is a gap between their earnings and men’s earnings. Women in professional specialty occupations earn 72.7 percent of what men in the same position earn.Is there any place women earn the same as men?No. Unfortunately, there is no such place. But it can be to a woman’s advantage to work in a labor union. 19 So, while there is a gap, it’s much less than in professions without unions, where women make 72 percent of men’s incomes.Women bring home more income.20 Over 40 percent of moms are now the sole or primary source of income in U.S. households. Women are now the primary or co-money-maker in nearly two-thirds of American families and working married women bring home 44 percent of their family income.A．Education is specially significant for women.B．Women are taking higher education by storm.C．It is a fact that women climb higher in the work world now.D．An increasing number of women have joined the workforce.E．More than ever before, women are the breadwinners in the household.F．Today, 30 percent of all the businesses are owned and operated by women.G．Women who work in unionized professions make 82 percent of men’s incomes.三、完形填空As I held my boy in the arms to rock him to sleep, he had his arms wrapped around me35 any day for granted. Thank God for giving me the opportunity to take care of such a life.21．A．selfless B．unconditional C．independent D．adorable 22．A．acquired B．ensured C．prayed D．possessed 23．A．adopt B．deliver C．raise D．abandon 24．A．approached B．accompanied C．spied D．whispered 25．A．bring up B．hold up C．pick up D．give up 26．A．considered B．approved C．rejected D．ranked 27．A．casually B．merely C．straight D．suddenly 28．A．abnormal B．awful C．awesome D．unforgiving 29．A．bounced B．bent C．bounded D．bonded 30．A．released B．retired C．withdrawn D．departed 31．A．positive B．odd C．native D．precious 32．A．royal B．genuine C．final D．decent 33．A．originally B．legally C．ethnically D．precisely 34．A．overcome B．blessed C．occupied D．rewarded 35．A．waste B．spend C．regret D．take四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

江苏省海安高级中学2024-2025学年高三上学期9月月考英语试题一、阅读理解North Rim to reopen on June 2 with limited services availableNews Release Date: May 17, 2023Contact: Joëlle Baird, 928-606-3154Grand Canyon, ArizThe North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park will open as scheduled, on June 2, with limited visitor services and water conservation measures due to a break in the North Rim water pipeline.

Year-round accommodating, food services and fuel are located 45 miles north of the North Rim at Jacob Lake. As a result of substantial winter rockfall and landslides, trail (步道) repair work on the North Kaibab Trail continues. There is a trail closure in effect on the North Kaibab Trail and it will officially reopen on June 16, 2023.1．Which was not affected and opens as usual?A．The public laundry.B．The Grand Canyon Lodge.C．The North Kaibab Trail.D．The North Rim Visitor Center.2．What can we learn about the North Kaibab Trail from the text?A．It offers food service.B．It is around Jacob Lake.C．It is under repair now.D．It opens all the year around.3．What is the purpose of the text?A．To warn visitors of the oncoming landslide.B．To inform visitors of schedules of some attractions.C．To appeal to more visitors to the Grand Canyon National Park.D．To advertise the products of the Grand Canyon National Park.It has been five years since I left my staff job and became self-employed. I remember my terror as I walked out of the office for the last time and the excitement when I sold my first piece days later. Working for yourself, setting your own hours and being responsible for your success or failure are exciting. I left my job just as summer was starting, and my first few months were as blissful as the fair days.When winter came, an office where someone else paid for the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive. January is tough for freelancers (自由职业者), and it was no different for me — after masses of work, I earned none. I shared my fears with some businesswomen I knew — what if the reality would be more like what I was experiencing?Whether through choice or circumstance, the number of freelancers is rising and, if you’re just starting out, it is scary. I’ve been lucky that these women making money their own way shared key lessons about what it takes.You can’t feel half-hearted about what you do because, at some point, you’re going to have painful days. When that happens, you have to remember why you wanted this life in the first place. Don’t quit your job for something that you think might be more interesting, quit it for something you can’t stop thinking about.Setting up a business is tough. Rather than waiting until all is perfect, go for the moment when it feels as if momentum (势头) is with you. Look after yourself. There is no sick pay when you are self-employed. You can’t do a bad day’s work and blame it on your boss. You are the backbone of your business and you need to prioritize your health and well-being. Rest regularlyand find like-minded people to support you and lift you up when things get hard.Finally, enjoy it. Freedom is yours and, if you can make it work, there is nothing better. 4．What does the underlined word “blissful” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Pleasant.B．challenging.C．Awful.D．Boring.5．What bothered the author when winter came?A．The cold weather influenced her working performance.B．She eventually realized freelancing wasn’t to her taste.C．Masses of freelancing work brought her much anxiety.D．She couldn’t even earn enough to meet daily basics.6．According to the author, why should we quit for a new job?A．To escape from the current pain.B．To satisfy our temporary interests.C．To explore where our strength lies.D．To pursue what we really desire. 7．What’s author’s probable attitude towards becoming freelancers?A．Critical.B．Favorable.C．Cautious.D．Unclear.“Why does grandpa have ear hair?” Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fiun to learm.” I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in my children. Where did I go wrong?My child’s experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as “spontaneous (自发的)” investigation and eagerness for new information-drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C．Keil details the development of wonder — a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of life in a society that devalues wonder.As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They aresensitive to the others’ knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children’s questions, particularly those about “why” and “how” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.Unfortunately, as Keil notes, “adults greatly underestimate young children’s causal mechanisms.” In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.8．What is a common problem among fourth graders?A．They upset their parents too often.B．They ask too many strange questions.C．Their love for fun disappears quickly.D．Their desire to learn declines sharply. 9．What can be inferred about children’s causal mechanisms in paragraph 4?A．They control children’s sensitivity.B．They slightly change in early childhood.C．They hardly support children’s reasoning.D．They develop through children’s questioning. 10．How can parents support children’s ongoing wonder according to Keil?A．By monitoring their games.B．By welcoming inquiring minds.C．By estimating their abilities.D．By providing reasonable conclusions. 11．What is the text?A．A book review.B．A news report.C．A research paper.D．A children’s story.Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues you’ve got an Oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries.“The discomfort you feel comes from a difference of standards about what topics of conversation are OK,” says Wisner. “What they consider to be acceptable, need-to-know information is different from what it is for you.”At the same awkward time, the Oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealingmore about themselves — and hoping you’ll do the same. “We tend to label these people as overly-curious, invasive(侵入的) or rude,” notes Gerber, “but they really just want to be liked and accepted.”To satisfy the Oversharer, and meanwhile reject endless TMI (too-much-information), consider sharing something else — still personal but less invasive — that satisfies their urge to connect. When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed. But you don’t have to declare them to be rude or insist them change their ways immediately. “OMG, that’s private!” says everything, and you’ll never have to bring it up again.A compliment (称赞) also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary.To my nosy friend who asks me when I plan to have a baby, for example, I will give this wise response next time: “You made having kids look so easy! How’d you do it?” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. Maybe I won’t have another baby in this life, but at least I’ll be ready to face an Oversharer — or any of the challenging people it takes to make a world.12．What is the function of the first paragraph?A．Shaping the image of an Oversharer.B．Stressing the importance of boundaries.C．Identifying the clues of an unpleasant talk.D．Presenting different opinions about sharing.13．Why are Oversharers so interested in talking about private issues?A．They want sympathy from others.B．They see it as a way to break the ice.C．They are curious about others’ sufferings.D．They long for closer connections with others.14．What is suggested if Oversharers cross your line?A．Ignore their comments.B．Demanding an apology.C．Declaring your boundaries.D．Criticizing their rudeness.15．What is the purpose of the author’s response in the last paragraph?A．To check her friend’s boundary.B．To show admiration for her friend.C．To learn from her friend’s experience.D．To shift the topic to her friend’s direction.As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. 16 This lies at the heart of “experiential (由经验得来的) appreciation”, a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you. It’s about learning from real-life experiences, and discovering a more profound and engaging way to learn.To practice experiential appreciation, you can start by getting involved in hands-on activities related to your subjects. They will provide a firsthand understanding of the concepts you’re studying, making learning active and meaningful. So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event. 17As you dive deeper, immerse (沉浸) yourself fully in the surroundings and activities. When you’re in nature, don’t just look around. 18 Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable.19 After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world.Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. 20 So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await. This is the core of true learning, where every moment is a step towards a richer, more enlightened life.A．Now consider expanding your learning from just reading to actively participating.B．It extends learning far beyond textbooks.C．Instead, activate your senses for a stronger tie with it.D．Mind the impact of your actions on the environment.E．Take your experiences further by reflecting on them.F．Textbooks offer a systematic introduction to essential concepts and principles.G．These activities bring learning to life.二、完形填空Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree. Were the birds out on the iceducks or geese? So on a 21 January evening last year, the two friends ventured onto the 22 pond near their homes, to get a better look.

Take Li Ming for example. Li Ming used to be a healthy boy, but a year ago, he fell into the habit of eating a lot of junk food and snacks. Besides, he spent a lot of time lying on the sofa, watching TV, and did little exercise. As a result, he put on so much weight that he found it difficult to climb the stairs.What a terrible thing! Li Ming felt so sorry that he decided to change the unhealthy life style, which had done great damage to his health, though a bit difficult. He began to take up a balanced and healthy diet, containing fruit and vegetables. He also took part in various sports activities such as swimming, skating, running and playing basketball. Several months later, Li Ming became as fit as before.Luckily, Li Ming has broken away from his former way of life. His example shows that a healthy diet and regular exercise work to prevent obesity. Those who are facing the same problem, why not have a try?听力材料录音稿：Text 1M: The bus is always late.W: I know. I’ve been waiting for it for half an hour.

When you’re caring for a baby, cooking proper meals seems like a luxury. Instead you rely on convenience meals and processed foods. Solution: Try to get more support. Friends, family members, and neighbors are often delighted to help, so don’t feel you have to do everything yourself. Use the extra time to prepare some healthy meals. Follow the basic rules of cutting down on fat and increasing fruit and vegetable intake.Problem: Sugary or high-fat snacks（零食）. Tiredness can leave you feeling sleepy, run-down, and in need of an immediate help from sweets and high-fat snacks. Solution: Turn snacking to your advantage. Eat high-fiber, low-fat, low-sugar snacks; these will fill you up without adding too many calories. For an energy boost, eat a banana, which is high in potassium -- a mineral essential for muscle and nerve function -- or try a handful of raisins, which are high in iron but low in fat.Problem: No time or energy to exercise. A baby is a constant demand on your time, so you’re too tired or busy to exercise.Solution: Increasing activity levels will help you obtain a net calorie loss, while toning exercises will tighten your muscles. Though you may feel too tired to do any exercise, it is worth persevering because in the long run your energy levels will increase. Involve your baby in your postnatal(产后) exercises; start by walking with the child in a carriage or sling. Swimming is another aerobic exercise that you can both enjoy by joining a mother and baby class. Many pools have childcare facilities, so you can swim a few laps on your own.Problem: Lack of sleep. The new baby interrupts your sleep,depletingyour energy and leaving you tense and exhausted.Solution: Practice some relaxation techniques whenever you have a few free moments. Meditation, visualization, or yoga can help your body recover and give you more energy.3.It is generally accepted that _____ boy must learn to stand up and fight like _____ man.A．a; aB．a; theC．the; theD．a; 不填4.He told us that the best way to ______ respect was to devote ourselves to ______ high grades.A．earn; achieveB．earn; achievingC．earning; achieveD．earning; achieve5.—We could invite John and Barbara to the Friday night party.—Yes, ______ ?

It also reflects my personality with elegance,” he adds.Filippi’s chance came when he was invited to perform for a Chinese New Year celebration in the central Italian city of Florence. He has since fully committed himself to the art form, learning several pieces and putting his newfound passion into practice.“The biggest difference that I found (compared to other disciplines) is the change of mood and emotional expressions among dances,” says Filippi, adding that he needed to shift from t he dynamic moves of hip-hop to the graceful and fluid movements of Chinese dance. Despite various obstacles, Filippi’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. Two of his friends shared videos of his performances on social media, and the response was overwhelming. One video garnered 500,000 views, while the other received 200,000 views.Filippi believes that learning about different cultures is priceless, and he sees it as a means of personal growth. “I like to think of a person as a book,” he says. “Embracing dif ferent traditions and cultures, such as Chinese culture and many others, is like adding new chapters to my book, making it more diverse and wonderful.”4. What is the main reason why Filippi falls in love with traditional Chinese dance?A．Its potential to boost his career. B．Its mix of traditional and modernelements.C．Its graceful and light movements. D．Its true reflection of his elegantpersonality.5. How does the author illustrate the popularity of Filippi’s videos?A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example.C．By sharing a story. D．By making a comparison.6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Filippi thinks little of learning from other cultures.B．People prefer to write down their past experiences.C．Accepting various cultures boosts personal growth.D．A book with chapters on traditions is more wonderful.7. What is the main idea of the passage?A．Chinese-styled dance videos go viral on social media.B．An Italian’s dance journey towards specialization starts.C．Filippi’s des ire for Chinese culture extends beyond dance.D．An Italian dancer shows passion for Chinese-styled dance.In 2020, Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest survey on the topic ever undertaken. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15, 000 people in 105 countries, “How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently?” Most of them said regret was at least an occasional part of their life. About 21 percent said they felt regretful all the time. Only 1 percent said they never felt regretful.If you are of the “no regrets” school of life, you may think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. Letting yourself be overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To extinguish your regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow but causes you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.Uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive(认知的) feature. It requires that you go back to a past scene. Imagine that you acted differently to change it, and with that new scene in mind, arrive at a different present-and then, compare that fictional present with the one you are experiencing in reality. Not all regrets are the same, of course. Pink says they come in four basic types, and an instance of regret may involve just one combination.Many connection regrets overlap (重叠) with moral regrets, which can come about after you go against your own values. For example, you may pride yourself on being a loving person, and thus regret not living up to this image in the relationship you harmed. Moral regrets can also involve just yourself. Maybe you regret not living up to your promise to your health when you ate a whole pizza or skipped the gym.If not analyzed(分析) and managed, any kind of regret can be harmful to your well-being. Regret is linked to depression and anxiety, and too much regret can negatively affect your immune system. But regret doesn’t have to be put aside and ignored.8. What could be concluded from Pink’s research?A．Half of the people felt regretful. B．Most people lived without regrets.C．None could live a life without regrets. D．Most of the people had regrets.9. What does the underlined word “extinguish” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Destroy. B．Admit. C．Treasure. D．Experience. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The harm of moral regrets.B．The importance of promise.C．The relationship between regrets and values.D．The connection between reality and imagination.11. What might the author continue talking about?A．Types of regrets. B．Causes of regrets.C．Benefits of experiencing regrets. D．Ways of dealing with regrets.Ants know when an earthquake is about to strike, researchers have discovered. Their behavior changes greatly before the quake and they resume normal functioning only a day after it. Gabriele Berberich of the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany presented these findings according to Live Science.Berberich and her team discovered that red wood ants preferred to build their homes right along active faults (断层) in Germany. They counted 15,000 mounds (土堆) lining the faults. These faults are the places where the earth breaks in earthquakes.Using a special camera that tracked changes in activity, Berberich and her team tracked the ants round the clock for three years. They found that the ants’ behavior changed only when the quake was over magnitude 2.0. There were 10 earthquakes between magnitude 2.0 and 3.2 during this period, and many smaller ones. Humans can also sense quakes over magnitude 2.0 only. According to Berberich, normal ant activity is made up of going about collecting food during the day and resting in the night. But before an ea rthquake, the ants didn’t go back to their mound in the night and moved around outside it. This strange behavior continued till a day after the earthquake, Berberich told a news conference, according to Live Science.How do ants know an earthquake is coming? Berberich suggested that they could either be picking up changing gas or noting small changes in the earth’s magnetic fields (磁场). “Red wood ants have special cells which can sense changes in carbon dioxide levels. They also have special cells for discovering electromagnetic fields,” she said. Berberich and her team are planning to continue the research in areas where there are more and bigger earthquakes.12. What does the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．present. B．avoid. C．quit. D．recover.13. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To explain a finding.B．To introduce the topic.C．To make the text interesting.D．To tell how to predict an earthquake.14. What happens to the ants before an earthquake?A．They are too excited to rest.B．They don’t collect their food.C．They get lost on their way back home.D．They don’t go inside their mound in the night.15. What can be learned about the ants from the passage?A．They can only sense smaller earthquakes.B．They have two ways to predict earthquakes.C．The result of the research is completely reliable.D．They can be depended on to warn people of earthquakes.Your mind is very powerful. Yet, if you’re like most people, you probably spend very little time reflecting on the way you think. After all, who thinks about thinking? 16If you draw wrong conclusions about whom you are and what you’re capable of doing, you’ll limit your potential. Your thoughts are a catalyst (催化剂) for self-perpetuating (自我持续的) cycles. 17 So if you think you’re a failure, you’ll feel like a failure. Then, you’ll act like a failure, which strengthens your belief that you must be a failure. I see this happen all the time in my office. Someone will come in saying, “I’m just not good enough to advance in my career.” That opinion leads her to feel discouraged and causes her to put in less efforts. 18Once you draw a conclusion about yourself, you’re likely to do two things: look for evidence that strengthens your belief and consider anything that runs against your belief unimportant. Someone who develops the belief that he’s a failure, for example, will view each mistake as evidence that he’s not good enough. 19 Consider for a minute that it might not be your lack of talent or lack of skills that are holding you back. Instead, it might be your beliefs that keep you from performing at your peak (巅峰).20 That’s not to say positive thoughts have magical powers. But optimistic thoughts lead to productive act, which increases your chances of a successful outcome.For long, a question disturbed a lit tle boy. He couldn’t understand why his next-desk-pal (同伴) could rank 1st whenever he wanted to, while he himself _______ to.At home, he asked his Mom, “Mom, am I more _______ than others? I feel I study as hard as him, but why do I _______ lay behind?” Staring at him, she went _______, not knowing how to explain.She felt an impulse (冲动) to say, “You are too _______. You are not really as hard-working as others...” but she stopped _______ she knew her son was suffering from the pains of _______ grades and rankings.

Despite studying harder and better, he was still unable to _______ his pal. To show her pride of him, Mom decided to take him to the sea. During the trip, she managed to give out an answer.Now, the son no longer ________ his rankings, because, with the 1st ranking, he was ________ to Harvard University.Back home in winter vacation, he was invited to give a speech to the students and parents in his high school. In the speech, he mentioned a(n) ________ experience in his childhood. “When my mother and I were lying on the beach, she pointed to the front and said, ‘Do you see the seabir ds flying for food over there? When the ________ come near, little birds can escape quickly ________ “clumsy” seagulls would take more time to complete the process (过程).

They also worked with MIT’s music department to create the virtual instrument.“Even though the web looks really random (随机)，there actually are a lot of inside structures and you can visualize (可视化) them and you can look at them, but it’s really hard to grasp for the human imagination or human brain to understand all these structural details,” said MIT engineering professor Markus Buehler, who presented the work on Monday at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web lets you see and hear these structural changes and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world, he told CNN. “Spiders use vibrations (振动) as a way to locate themselves, to communicate with other spiders and so the idea of thinking really like a spider would experience the world was something that was very important to us as spider material scientists,” Buehler said.Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports, so having a better idea of how they work could lead to the development of advanced new 3D printing techniques. “The reason why I did that is I wanted to be able to get information really from the spider world, which is very weird and mysterious,” Buehler explained. In addition to the scientific value, Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the sounds the spider creates during construction. “It’s unusual and eerie and scary, but finally beautiful.” he described.4. What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?A. They have translated spider webs into sounds.B. They have made a mathematical model to produce webs.C. They have created a soundtrack to catch spiders.D. They have known how spiders communicate.5. What can we know about spider webs from paragraph 3?A. Their structures are beautiful and clear.B. Professor Markus Buehler knows them well.C. The American Chemical Society presents the result.D. They are complex for people to figure it out.6. In which field will the study be helpful?A. virtual realityB. printingC. paintingD. film-making7. What is the main idea of the passage?A. It tells us that the music created by spiders is scary.B. It shows how the researchers carry out the experiment.C. It presents a new and creative way to study spiders.D. It explains why scientists did the experiment.CA nurse has fulfilled (实现) a promise she made to her patient four years ago to one day attend her daughter's graduation from nursing school.Edina Habibovic, 22, graduated from Chamberlain University's College of Nursing in 2020. Her mother, Sevala Habibovic, 46, died in2017 after a two year fight with breast cancer.“I thought the medical field wasn't for me. Then, my mom got sick and I had all the experience going in and out of the hospital, ” Edina toldGood MorningAmerica. “When my mom passed away, I thought, ‘I want to dothis.’”she said.Sanja Josipovic, who at the time worked as a home health nurse with Northwestern Medicine in Winfield, Illinois, cared for Sevala inside her home.

She was a powerful and strong minded woman. She wasn't scared to die; she was just worried about her kids and husband.”Edina said her mother lived for being with her family and taking care of people. “When Sanja was working, my mom would still try to make her something to eat, no matter how sick she was, ” Edina added. When Sevala'slife was coming to an end, she asked Sanja to take her place at her youngest daughter's nursing school graduation. “That was the only thing she was going to miss. Edina's graduation, ” said Sanja, who is a mother of three herself. She agreed.Due to COVID -19, there was no graduation or pinning ceremony.

From its home in the sand, it breaks its egg with an egg tooth. Its mother is not there to help it. Instead, it is greeted by crabs, coyotes,and dogs waiting to eat it for dinner. To survive, the baby turtle must hide in the sand until night. Then, it moves slowly to the sea.The small turtle must swim hard to reach the ocean waters. In the sea, it tries hard to find food. It must also keep itself from being food for fish.As dangerous as the sea turtle’s life is in the natural world, its most dangerous enemies are humans. The rubbish left by humans in the ocean causes problems for the small green sea turtle. A little turtle might eat a piece ofplastic (塑料) in the sea. It might also eat oil on the ocean’s surface. Young turtles also get caught in fishing nets. There are laws against hunting sea turtles. Still, many are hunted, both for their meat and for their shells (壳). All of these dangers must be prevented.Sea turtles that do survive to grow into adulthood go through many changes. For example, adult green sea turtles weigh about 500 pounds. They stop eating jellyfish and other meat and eat only plants. And they may plan a trip to go back home again. A mother sea turtle goes back to the beach where she was born.

Sort of.My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature was a bit warm for my tiny princess self. So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness...The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt.I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking elevator of age slowly arrive? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort.Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively (踌躇地) and picked up small items into a small cloth bag.“What are you doing?”“I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.”I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow (麻雀) lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing.“I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.”The horse laughs loudly, “That is so funny. What do you weigh?”And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.”This is what older age means. We do what we can.We continued our walk. Neshama bent tentatively to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it, as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lie in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 4．What does the author say about her present life?A．She leads a balanced life.B．She enjoys meeting old friends.C．She is really into movies.D．She struggles with family crises.5．Why did the author mention the sparrow?A．To confirm Neshama’s fear.B．To offer her comfort.C．To change Neshama’s mind.D．To show her approval.6．What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A．Physical weakness.B．The great lie.C．The rowing machine.D．The broken soul.7．What largely determines happiness in older age according to the author?A．Achieving important life goals.B．Enjoying life as you can.C．Living a life of love and service.D．Loving what is being done.When my students ask me how to improve themselves, I always recommend personality imitation (模仿). I believe imitation is one of the fastest forms of learning.For example, before writing my first scientific paper, I made a small pile of published articles that were especially attractive and understandable. Then I reread them. And I made notes on the side: A quote at the beginning. Short sentence at the end of paragraph. Big idea in the end. And then, without delay, I sat down to imitate what I’d observed.It may seem that copying what other people do is cheating. Many of my students assume that they had better figure everything out on their own. But it turns out that a great deal of human learning is imitation. We were all born to copy-paste (复制粘贴).A few years ago, I had a conversation with Toby Cosgrove, the former chief executive of Cleveland Clinic. I asked him how someone who at the beginning of his career was told he lacked talent later became the most famous cardiothoracic surgeon in the world. This was his response:“I worked and worked and worked at first. And then I changed the way I did things over time I went and watched other people do things. In fact, I used to call them my ‘innovation trips.’ I would go all over the world, take my notebook and watch other surgeons and various techniques, and I would pick up things from them and put them in my practice. It was a constant quest and I was always looking for ways to do something better.”These stories are supported by science. Some experiments confirm that copy-pasting the successful strategies of others can help you reach your own goals. Therefore, don’t think that copy-pasting what you admire is by definition cheating. Without question, it’s wrong to take someone else’s work and pass it off as your own. But it’s right to find inspiration in the way other people live their lives.8．How does the author support his opinion in the first two paragraphs?A．By making comparisons.B．By analyzing cause and effect.C．By sharing his own experience.D．By listing helpful ways.9．What do some students think is the best way of learning?A．Turning to teachers for help.B．Copying what other people do.C．Conducting experiments with others.D．Working out problems by themselves.10．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “quest” in paragraph 5?A．Exploration.B．Competition.C．Attention.D．Entertainment. 11．What does the author mainly stress in the text?A．Imitating equals cheating B．Imitation provides inspiration.C．Imitation is a natural ability D．Imitation is a personal choice.When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents (口音), most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of misses the point.More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that theiraccent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition (定义) of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a changed form of a language that is featured by its variations (变化) of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?We need to move beyond a narrow idea of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone.Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity (身份). Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.12．What does the author think of his/ her friends’ response in paragraph 1?A．It reflects their self confidence.B．It reflects their language levels.C．It misses the point of communication.D．It misses the real meaning of accents.13．Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English?A．To support the use of dialects.B．To show the importance of dialects.C．To correct a grammatical mistake.D．To highlight a traditional method.14．What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph?A．Learn to speak with your local dialect.B．Look for an official definition of accents.C．Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.D．Separate our local languages from others’.15．What can be a suitable title for this passage?A．Everyone Has an AccentB．Accents Improve Our IdentitiesC．Dialects Lead to MisunderstandingD．Standard English Is at RiskDear Fresher, joining a university can be a pleasant but challenging experience: horrific and yet beautiful, scary but exciting. 16Do not panic if, like me, you do not make friends on the first day or week. Before I met Sanaa, I had tried to force myself to make friends with classmates in my other majors. Then I was starting to get convinced that there was something wrong with me. 17 Eventually, when I started making more friends, it made sense why the friendships I had forced did not work out. It was my first lesson in understanding my uniqueness, and reminding me that my “friends” are somewhere, out there. 18So, dear Fresher, as I say welcome to university life, I am also saying, give yourself time-to understand your school, your course, and your new rhythm of life. Do not fall into the trap of people-pleasing to fit in.19 Of course, you must leave room to grow and breathe-to discover amazing cultures, new accents, and new ways of matching your clothes-but do not do anything that needs you to abandon your genuine self in order to become.Finally, it might not look like it, but the four, five, or six years you will be in university will pass by really quickly. 20 Perhaps that is DIYs, writing blog posts, participating in club activities in your department, or joining the dance troupe.So, dear Fresher, go forward, and leave your mark! You will be surprised at how much experience that will contribute to your CV.A．It is a big turn on the pages of your life.B．Extracurricular activities build confidence.C．I no longer struggle too hard to fit square pegs into round holes.D．It is a good idea for you to make friends with like-minded people.E．That was why I got uninspired by every friendship I tried to make.F．While the new phase of life is challenging, remember who you truly are.G．Seek out opportunities to do stuff you are passionate about during your free time.二、完形填空I grew up in a house where my mother did not trust my sisters and me to manage our own appearance.

I was so 24 and couldn’t believe my ears.This was the same woman who had told my younger sister she wasn’t allowed to wear a pair of ripped(有破洞的)jeans; the same woman who, in high school, called me while I was out at a party to ask if my hair was up. “Don’t do that, because you look 25 with your hair down.” she told me, before I could 26 .Suddenly, I realized that my mother—always so strong—not only wanted my 27 , but needed it.I pulled a pair of blue jeans from the closet. “This 28 your black shoes perfectly,” I told her.

I’m still always a bit surprised by the admission(承认)of her33 . But every so often, it seems like she asks me just to be able to 34 my answer and pick out something on her own instead. And 35 she does, I just tell her what I think of the way she looks. Sometimes it’s “great”. And sometimes it’s “awful”.21．A．praises B．comments C．plans D．rules 22．A．concentrated B．complained C．argued D．advised 23．A．checked B．escaped C．misunderstood D．wandered 24．A．surprised B．disappointed C．amazed D．awkward 25．A．worse B．tougher C．slimmer D．better 26．A．stop B．smile C．answer D．leave 27．A．concern B．opinion C．company D．support 28．A．fits B．equals C．matches D．suits 29．A．looks after B．relies on C．stands by D．cares about 30．A．saying B．call C．order D．question 31．A．leader B．receiver C．reminder D．onlooker 32．A．rare B．possible C．likely D．insecure 33．A．anxiety B．inflexibility C．impatience D．uncertainty 34．A．wait for B．agree with C．disagree with D．stick to 35．A．before B．when C．unless D．since三、语法填空阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the world.
