2019届上海市七宝中学高三上学期10月月考英语试卷及答案

2019届上海市七宝中学高三上学期10月月考英语试卷及答案

2019届上海市七宝中学高三上学期10月月考英语试卷II. Grammar and VocabularySection A (10分)Directions:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Last year, a report by a committee of education experts said that a lot of American students cannot write well. The report noted the concerns of business leaders and teachers. The experts said that more students should have to pass a writing test (21) they can finish high school. They pointed out that major college entrance tests are changing now (22) (include) a writing part.Educators know that teaching students to write well is not easy. One problem is the amount of time needed to read through large amounts of work. So some companies (23) (develop) computer programs. These can grade student writing much more quickly than a person can. Writing tests can also cost (24) (little) to carry out by computer than paper-and-pencil. These computer systems are known as e-readers. They use artificial (人工的) intelligence to think in a way (25) teachers. In the state of Indiana, computer grading of a statewide writing test began with a test of the system itself. For two years, both a computer and humans graded the student writing. Officials say there was almost no difference between the computer grades and those given by (26) human readers.The entrance test commonly (27) (use) by business schools, the GMAT, already uses e-readers. The GRE and TOEFL tests might start; officials aredeciding. The GRE is the Graduate Record Examination. TOEFL is the Test of English as a Foreign Language.Systems (28) (use) to grade writing in college classes. The computers read a few hundred examples of student writing already graded by humans. Then the systems compare new writings against those already examined.Some teachers say it can never really understand (29) a writer is trying to say. Critics say a program cannot follow a thought or judge humor or understand a beautifully expressed idea.But inventors of the programs say computer grading guarantees that each piece of writing is graded in the same way. They also say the systems (30) (mean) to judge knowledge more than creativity.Section B (10分)Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Botany, the study of plants, occupies a ____31____ position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest (含糊的) of insight. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must extremely ancient. This is ___32_____. Plants are the basis of the food ____33____ for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of peoples, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, eyes, medicines, shelter,。

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(82)含答案解析

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(82)含答案解析

江苏高考英语百日训练之任务型阅读(82)含答案解析【题文】Regret is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful. We feel it when we either blame ourselves for things that turned out badly, or long to undo a choice we made in the past. The effect regret has on our lives and how we deal with regret are equally important.In some cases, regret can be disastrous. In 1995, a British man who regularly played one set of lottery numbers forgot to renew his ticket during the week that his numbers came up. He was so filled with regret and self-blame that he committed suicide. While this is an extreme consequence of regret, it can have many other lesser effects on the mind and body that can still seriously affect our lives.According to recent research, women have more regrets about romantic relationships than men do—not surprising, since women “value social relationships more than men”. In collectivist culture where many aspects of life are arranged, people feel less regret, since many choices were made for them. There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (do something you wish you didn’t). The research found that some regrets are more likely than others to stay over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction or the opportunities they have missed; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.Held inside for too long, regret can affect the immune system. If one fails to learn and grow from past mistakes, deep feeling of regret can stay locked inside, keeping one from fully engaging with life. This can put stress on relationships, careers, and many other aspects of life. In addition, too many regrets can lead to severe depression, which may require professional help. Therefore, it is important that we understand what regret is and how we can learn to deal with it.To cope with regret, be aware that it is there for a reason. Our brain is telling us to take another look at our choices because they may be having negative consequences. Take “I can’t believe I crashed my car. I’m so stupid.” and turn it into “I’m so lucky I didn’t die in the accident. How wonderful!” However, when the situation can’t be changed, and there is nothing left for us to do, we have to let go of the situation and forgive ourselves.We have to see the mistakes we make as necessary lessons in life. If we can learn from them and make changes, we can turn our regrets into passive actions. We can use them to improve, guide, and shape our lives for the better.【答案】51. choice52. Factors/Elements53. more 54. missed55. Effects/ Influences/Impacts56. cost 57. mentally/psychologically58. exist 59. gratefulness/thankfulness/gratitude60. beyond【解析】本文为说明文。

Even before I opened my mouth, he was shaking his head.It was September 1957, and my family had just arrived in California. My father only got work two or three days a week. Our poor savings were gone, and as the eldest boy of the family, I was the only one able to help.“let me work the rest of the week, and if you don’t like the way I do the job, don’t pay me.”I said. The tall man stared at me, then nodded. At Mort’s, I worked very hard. Near the end of the day he called me up to him. “How much did that card at school say this job paid? "he asked. “One dollar an hour. " I whispered. Actually I was willing to take less.“That’s not enough for someone who works as hard as you, "Mort said. “You start at £ 1.25.”Over the next few weeks I learned a lot about Mort. Our store was closed on Sundays, so every Saturday evening Mort urged me to take home the leftover soup. It was a meal in itself, a treat for my struggling family.One Saturday after work. I was about to step in my house when I saw a large man in my father's chair. He was swearing at my father. I quietly walked into the kitchen and listened through the door. The man wanted to take our car. Dad offered to make the three payments that were due, but the man demanded the entire sum---£325---or the car. I slipped out of the door, thinking: Who might have £ 325? Who would even consider lending me so much money?The only person I could think of was Mort. I ran back to his deli and told him my tale. “So, could you possi bly lend my father £325?"I finished, realizing how absurd it sounded. Although Mort’s eye bored(挖) holes in my face, he gave me £ 325, saying,“I 'll take back half your wages until it's repaid.”That night I was a hero to my family, But the real hero was Mort Rubin, who quietly raised my salary every month afterwards. He made the world a better place.4. Why does the author talk about his family in Paragraph 2?A. To show his strong desire for a job.B. To reflect his poor living conditions.C. To stress the heavy burden on his father.D. To prove high living costs in California.5. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence?A. The meal was cheap but very deliciousB. The soup was fuel in snowy weather.C. The soup was more than the family could eat.D. The soup was a basic solution to the problem of the author’s family.6. Why did Mort give the author £ 325?A. Because the author wanted to buy a car.B. Because the three payments of the author’s family were due.C. Because he thought it absurd not to lend the author the money.D. Because the author wanted to pay off all the debts for his family.7. Which words can be used to describe Mort Rubin?A. Cold but flexible.B. Patient and hard-working.C. Kind and helpful.D. Strict and calculating.CResearch finds that children who play violent games or watch violent TV can become violent themselves, but what drives this change? Are the kids simply copy what they see on the screen, or could gaming have a more profound effect on their brains, affecting behavior?To explore that question, Dr. Vincent Matthews and his colleagues at Indiana University, who have long studied media violence, looked at what happened in the brains in 28 students who were randomly assigned to play either a violent, first-person shooter game or a non-violent one every day for a week. None of the participants had much previous gaming experience.At the start of the study, researchers used functional MRI to scan brain activity in the participants, all young adult men, while they completed lab-based tasks involving either emotional or non-emotional content. The participants were then scanned again while they repeated the same tasks after a week of playing the video games.Researchers found that those who played the violent video games showed less activity in areas that involved emotions, attention and inhibition(抑制) of our impulses(冲动). “Behavioral studies have shown an increase in aggressive behavior after violent video games, and what we show is the psychological explanation for what the behavioral studies are showing,”say Matthews. “We’re showing that there are changes in brain function that are likely related to that behavior.”It’s not clear how long-lasting the changes may be. When Matthews brought the participants back after a week of not playing video games, their brain activity had changed again, recovering to more normal reactions, but their brain functions still weren’t quite the same as before they were exposed to the violent games.8. What do we know about the participants?A. Both teenagers and adults were chosen.B. The participants had never played any computer games before.C. 28 participants were all young adult men.D. The participants were carefully divided into two groups.9. After playing a violent video game, a person is more likely to be ______.A. concentrativeB. impulsiveC. calmD. tired10. What does the underlined part “more profound”in Paragraph I most probably mean?A. Greater.B. Shorter.C. negativeD. positive.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What Causes Children to Be ViolentB. How Matthews Carried Out His StudyC. Say “No” to Computer GamesD. How Playing Violent Video Games May Change the BrainDWhen a laptop or smart phone battery starts losing its power, the only options are to buy an expensive replacement, or just keep it plugged in all the time. But one woman may have found the answer to this problem.Mya Le Thai is a scientist studying at the University of California. She recently discovered a process that may lead to batteries that last forever.Thai said she had been frustrated that the batteries for her wireless devices degraded over time, until they failed to charge fully. Thai did not like having to keep her laptop connected to an electrical outlet(电源插座) to keep it powered on. So, she decided to do something about that problem. At first, she and her team at UC Irvine thought about inventing a new battery. But as they experimented, Thai discovered something that might permit lithium-ion(锂离子) batteries to last forever.Lithium-ion batteries power most wireless devices. Over time, the batteries lose the ability to hold a charge. Most of these batteries have a life span of about 7,000 charging cycles before they die. One of the reasons lithium-ion batteries degrade is their use of nanowires to carry electricity. Nanowires are extremely thin, A human hair is thousands of times thicker, for example. Nanowires are extremely efficient carriers of electricity, which makes them useful in batteries. But Thai said their thinness also makes them weak. "Nanowires break and fracture over time,” she said. “That's why they lose capacity.”But, Thai had a theory --- the nanowires might last longer if covered with a gel(凝胶). She and her team tested this theory.“ It was a long process and a lot of work, "Thai said. The team tried many coverings for the wires. PMMA, a type of plastic, was one of them. The nanowires were coated with PMMA and cycled through charges 200,000 times. The PMMA-coated nanowires showed no evidence of damage. The results suggest that batteries could last forever, without losing charging ability. Thai said 200,000 cycles amount to about three months on just one device. Thai hopes to continue her research to understand why this gel works so well and to see if any other gel could create better results.12. What caused Thai to work on lithium-ion batteries?A. She found that batteries can’t be powered fully.B. She disliked the batteries for her laptop.C. She thought batteries were too expensive.D. She and her team were assigned to invent a new battery.13. Which of the following sentences is TRUE about nanowires?A. They are too weak to carry electricity.B. They last only 7,000 charging cycles.C.They are the main cause of battery degrading.D. They are not suitable to use in batteries.14. The breakthrough may most probably lie in____________.A. a new kind of batteryB. new materials for batteriesC. coating nanowires in gelD. a new way of charging batteries15. What may be the best title for the passage?A. Why batteries are degradingB. Scientist invents life-long batteryC. Nanowires discovered by scientistD. Nanowires trying on new coating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。

AFlying for a long time, you finally arrive at the place where you can relax—your hotel room. Now you throw your bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programme on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA.The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN. With an audience of over 1.5 billion people, these are popular channels that offer good-quality news programmes. In both companies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard.However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or non-Western view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic company, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both companies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don’t normally see.The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this company are often local people who write the stories for free. This non-professional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices.This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets youwrite stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter.1. The first paragraph is meant to ______.A. introduce the topicB. give a warningC. explain a reasonD. offer a suggestion2. It can be learned from the text that more and more people will ______.A. prefer to read local newsB. start a career in citizen journalismC. pay more attention to world newsD. give up watching TV news programmes3. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Latest Local NewsB. Traditional World NewsC. The End of TV NewsD. More Choices for NewsBSince 2013,Torobo, a robotic are designed to test the limits of artificial intelligence, has had one ambition—to be admitted to the University of Tokyo, one of Asia’s top-ranked educational institutions. Although equipped with an extensive database of textbooks and other teaching materials, Torobo has repeatedly failed to obtain the university’s r equired minimum 80% score in the National Center Test, a yearly standardized entrance examination adopted by Japanese universities. This year was no exception.In early November, Torobo, along with millions of Japanese high school students, took a mock(模拟的)exam to prepare for the all-important standardized test.Torobo’s total score of 525 out of 950,which was higher than the national average, was enough for it to get admitted to many other influential Japanese universities.However, its standard score of 57.1%, though 14 points higher than in 2015,still fell short of the minimum required for the University of Tokyo.A closer analysis of the results showed that Torobo was able to draw from its database to solve knowledge-based questions and ones involving complex mathematicalcalculations, but it had a hard time thinking independently, failing to comprehend multiple sentences and phrases to arrive at the logical conclusions. This weakness was reflected in its shabby English scores.Fortunately, the robot’s cr eators have decided to free Torobo from its four-year sufferings. Noriko Arai, professor of the University of Tokyo who heads the team, says, “From the present results, we are able to evaluate the possibilities and limits of artificial intelligence. From now on, we will grow its abilities in the fields where it is doing well and aim to improve them to levels that can be applied in industry.” So while Torobo will never graduate from the University of Tokyo, it can still look forward to a bright future!4. Why was Torobo primitively designed?A. To compete against humans in learning abilities.B. To attend college like ordinary human students.C. To explore the potential of artificial intelligence.D. To analyze the results of the college entrance examination.5. How many times has Torobo taken part in the college entrance examination?A.4.B.3.C.5.D.6.6. What might have held Torobo back from being admitted to the University of Tokyo?A. Its storage space.B. Its arithmetic speed.C. Its knowledge database.D. Its thinking ability.7.Torobo won’t take the next college entrance examination because.A. it has failed to accomplish its aimB. it will serve in another areaC. it has suffered severe damageD. it will look for a job rather than studyCFilled with much housework, meals and childcare at home, many people feel that being at work sounds more like having a picnic. Even for those who have a happy family life, they feel actually more stressed at home than at work.Recently, a study carried out by the researchers at a university in the USA found lower levels of hormone released in response to stress in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home. This was true for both men and women, and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work. But women are more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home. Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. “Paid work is more valued in society,” said Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study, “Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards. Yet none of us, no matter how long we’ve been doing it, ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief. At home, meanwhile, stress spreads and increases quickly.“That’s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,” Dr. Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to “leave work stress at office” and even to change our mind-set from work to home, for example, a walk around the block. The recent findings, though, suggest our home life, not our attitude, might be due for some change.8.According to Paragraph 1, many people feel that being at home .A. is like having a picnicB. is an ideal way to manage stressC. can bring more stress than in the workplaceD. offers greater relaxation than at work9.According to Sarah Damaske, .A. men feel happier at work than womenB. household work is not as rewarding as work on a jobC. parents without children tend to feel happierD. both men and women feel happier at home than at work10. What can make people feel happy at work?A. Forgetting the stress from family life.B. A good management of theirmarriage.C. Much competition among colleagues.D. Recognition of the value of their work.11. According to the recent findings, what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?A. Our attitude.B. Our mind-set.C. Our home life.D. Our working style.DAs any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why.A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦) in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.Re searchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them—whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response—suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby’ cry.A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds—roughly the time to blink(挤眼)—two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women—even if they had no children.Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should ju st notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.Fellow researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone torecognize the ir own child’s cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.12. A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it _____.A. makes people feel strong emotionsB. cries harder than adultsC. causes people great painD. keeps on crying13.The underlined wo rd “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”A. removeB. causeC. avoidD. cure14. What may Christine Parsons agree to?A. Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.B. A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.C. Almost everyone makes certain response to a baby’s cries.D. Parents can hardly recognize their own babies’ cry.15. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to prevent a baby crying.B. How to recognize different babies’ cries.C. Why a baby is easy and likely to cry.D. Why you can’t get a baby’s cry out of your head其次节、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项As you enter a university, you turn to a new page where life is quite different from before.__16_.

Although the main attraction was the soup, Roze's chain shops also set a new standard for dining out, which helped to establish Roze as the inventor of the modern restaurant.Today, scholars have generated large amounts of instructive research about restaurants. Take visual hints that influence what we eat: diners served themselves about 20 percent more pasta(意大利面食)when their plates matched their food. When a dark-colored cake was served on a black plate rather than a white one, customers recognized it as sweeter and more tasty.Lighting matters, too. When Berlin restaurant customers ate in darkness, they couldn't tell how much they'd had: those given extra-large shares ate more than everyone else, but were none the wiser—they didn’t feel fuller, and they were just as ready for dessert.Time is money, but that principle means different things for different types of restaurants. Unlike fast-food places, fine dining shops prefer customers to stay longer and spend. One way to encourage customers to stay and order that extra round: put on some Mozart(莫扎特).When classical, rather than pop, music was playing, diners spent more. Fast music hurried diners out. Particular scents also have an effect: diners who got the scent of lavender(薰衣草)stayed longer and spent more than those who smelled lemon, or no scent.Meanwhile, things that you might expect to discourage spending—"bad" tables, crowding,high prices — don't necessarily. Diners at bad tables — next to the kitchen door, say —spent nearly as much as others but soon fled. It can be concluded that restaurant keepers need not "be overly concerned about ‘bad' tables," given that they're profitable. As for crowds,a Hong Kong study found that they increased a restaurant's reputation, suggesting great food at fair prices. And doubling a buffet's price led customers to say that its pizza was 11 percent tastier.24.

Common misunderstandings about restaurants.CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers,small,tightly knit(联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12, 000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6, 800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1, 000; Africa 2, 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number(中位数) of speakers is mere 6,000, which that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.27.
