They are closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on themarket. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.In theinternational market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, theywill try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about whatsimilar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they arequoting (报价), what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc.Then, how can weobtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of indoing this sort of work. The commercial counselor’s(顾问) offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in makingmarket investigations. Nowadays, our import and e_port corporations send theirtrade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make marketsurveys on the spot.Certainly,face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to getmarket information. The Chinese E_port Commodities(货物) Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits offoreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course , there aresome other ways of making market investigations.41. In making market investigation , one should_________.A. get enough informationconcerned B.advertise his productsC. produce highquality goods D.none of the above42. The underlined word 〝indispensable〞 in the first paragraph means_________.A. impossibleB.necessary C.advisable D.available43. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Therelationship between market investigation and sales promotion is just as thatof the lips and teeth.B. It isimpossible to succeed in selling a product without market investigation.C. There arevarious ways of making market investigation.D. Production goesbefore market investigation.44. All the following are channels to get market information e_cept_________.A. to havecommercial counselor’s office of our embassies stationed abroadB. to promote the qualityof our own productsC. to send tradegroups abroad every now and thenD. to haveface-to-face talks with foreign businessmenBAnimals seem tohave the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than theirbodies need. It has been demonstrated that rats will, when given a choice overa period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles.When a fragrant(香的) flavor was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rats did seemto prefer it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to theclear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In a classice_periment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria(自助) feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in.We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but thatover a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.So, in selectingfood, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what’s best for them. Apparently, there is a kind of 〝body wisdom〞, which humans soon lose. Most of us do noteat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people eat fo_, dogand blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.45. The e_pression 〝the habit〞 (para. 1, sentence 4) refers to drinking water which_________.A. has no smellB.is tasteless C.has vitamins D.is flavored46. According to the passage ,adults eating habits differ from thoseof babies because_________.A. adults knowbetter than babies what kind of food are good for their healthB. adults usuallycannot resist the temptation of various delicious foodsC. adults’ eatinghabits are closely related to the social and cultural customsD. adults havemore choices of food than babies in eating patterns47. The author implied in the passage that most of us_________.A. eat a balanceddietB. choose the foodthat is of nutritionC. have the habitsinfluenced by the surroundingsD.like to eat the food with a fragrant flavor.48. As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that_________.A. both have thewisdom to choose a balanced dietB. both preferflavored food and drinkC. both have thesame eating patternsD. both develop ataste for the same kinds of flavorsCYears ago, when I started looking for myfirst job, wise advisers said, 〝Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will takeyou further than any amount of e_perience. 〞 How right they were!〝Nothing great was ever achieved withoutenthusiasm,〞 wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang onthere when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, 〝I can doit!〞 when others shout, 〝No, you can’t!〞 It took years and years for the earlywork of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on here_periments.Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiasticwonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist(大提琴家) Pablo Casals would start his day byplaying Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulders wouldstraighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel oncewrote, 〝Years make the skin old, but to give up enthusiasm makes the soul old.〞Enthusiastic people also love what they do,regardless of money, title or power. Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of theMissouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got herenthusiasm. She replied, 〝 My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a penny until I stopped working for money. 〞If we cannot do what we love as a fulltimecareer, we can do it as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68before she began to draw. This activity ended her sadness that had troubled herfor at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, 〝I ampersuaded to call Layton a genius. 〞We can’t afford to waste tears on〝might-have-beens〞. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after 〝what-can-be〞. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the sweet smellof a backyard garden, the simple picture of a si_-year-old, and the beauty of arainbow.49. The passage mainly shows us__________.A. enthusiasm isthe basic element of everythingB. enthusiasmhelps us to succeed to a greater degreeC. enthusiasmmakes us e_perience more lifeD. we can donothing without enthusiasm50. From thee_ample of the Nobel Prize winner Barbara McClintock, we mayfind__________.A. enthusiasm can encourage us in difficult timesB. enthusiastic people always get a deep pleasure from workC. you can’t make any achievement if you have no enthusiasmD. enthusiastic people are sure to gain great fame in the end51. The unlined sentence 〝 I never made a penny until I stopped working for money. 〞 in Paragraph Four refers to 〝__________〞.A. I wouldn’t workunless I could make moneyB. I believe thatmy work will be rewardedC. Working formoney is what I love to doD. Working formoney makes no money at all52. The main idea of the last paragraph is ___________.A. we should tryheart and soul to win what we wantB. enthusiasm cangive us pleasure, though we have to sweatC. we have notenough money to buy what we needD. enthusiasm withsweat is what we needDHow men first learned to invent words isunknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds toe_pressthoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate witheach other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be writtendown. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.The power ofwords, then, lies in their combinations —the things they bring up beforeourminds. Words become filled with meaning for us by e_perience; and the longer welive, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past;and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Greatwriters are those who not only have great thoughts, but also e_press these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charmingand telling use of words is what we call literary (文字的) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can conveyhis meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position andassociation can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly andrude.53. The origin of language _____.A. is reflected insounds and lettersB. is handed down fromgeneration to generationC. dates back to theprehistoric periodD. is a problemnot yet solved54. According to the passage, words are _____.A. visual lettersB.represented by soundsC. representedeither by sounds or lettersD. signscalled letters55. The secret of a writer’s success is the use of words that _____.A. recall to usthe glad and sad events of our pastB. are arranged ina creative wayC. are asbeautiful as musicD. agree withcertain literary style56. The author of the passage advises us _____.A. to use wordscarefully and accurately B.not to use silly and rude wordsC. to become a slave of wordsD.to use emotional wordsEIf you want to stay young,sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese tors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough e_ercise, and as a result,we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taijiu Matsuzawa wanted to findout why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing theirability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process ofageing could be slowed down.With a team of partners at Tokyo NationalUniversity,he set about studying the brain volumes(体积) of a thousand people of different ages and various jobs.Computer technology enabled the researchersto get e_act measurement of the volume (容量)of thefront and side sections of the brain,which relateto intellect(智能)andfeelings,and determine the human character. The back section of the brain,which controls functions like eating or breathing,does not connect with age. One can continue living withoutintellectual or feeling abilities.Contraction(收缩)of front and side parts — as cellsdie off — was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not obvious in some si_ty and seventy year olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests thatthere is a simple cure for the contraction normally connected with age using the brain.The findings show in general conditions thatcontraction of the brain begins soon among people in the country than in thetown. Those are at least at risk,says Matsuzawa,who are lawyers,followed by university professorsand tors. White collar workers doing regular work in government offices are,however,as likely to have shrink (收缩) as the farm workers,bus drivers and shop assistants.Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking canprevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must flow through a circle properly in thehead to supply the fresh o_ygen the brain cells need. ;The best wayto keep good blood movement is through using the brain,;he says. ; Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’tdepend on pocket calculators. ;57. The team of tors wanted to find out__________.A. how to makepeople live longerB. why certainpeople age sooner than othersC. how people stayyoungD. which peopleare most intelligent58. On what are their research findings based?A. A study offarmers in northern Japan.B. Tests performedon a thousand old people.C. The study ofbrain volumes of different people.D. The latestdevelopment of computer technology.59. The underlined word ;subjects; in paragraph 5 means________.A. something to beconsideredB. branches ofknowledge studiedC. persons chosento be studied in an e_perimentD. any member of astage e_cept the great ruler60. According to the passage,which people seem to age slower than the others?A. Lawyers.B.Clerks.C. Farmers.D. Shop assistants.第二节:阅读下列材料, 从所给的六个选项(A,B,C,D,E和 F)中, 选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑. 选项中有一项是多余选项.61. Eunice , a biology student, has a particular interest in Korean art.

Here are the top 4 budget hotels:The Chinatown Inn (About $30 per night)Just a block from the railway station, located in Chinatown’s open market. It has clean beds, central air conditioning, hot water forcoffee and tea, and a hall with a big screen TV. Wi-Fi is good except Floor 5. The guests’ complaint is that the air condition is too cold, so make sure you get a room with a window. You can open it to let some warmth in.Ancasa Express (About $45 per night).The hotel is above the sky-train station. That makes it convenient to get to other parts of the city. From the station, take the elevator to the 5th floor to reach the hotellobby(大厅). The rooms are clean and nice. There is a flat screen TV, the strongest Wi-Fi, and a very hot rainfall shower. The guests’ complaint is that the cafe is only open for breakfast and dinner, and not 24 hours.Central Hotel (About $35 per night)This hotel is just two blocks from the Central Station, which is the heart of all transportation in the city. From Central you can walk 2 blocks to the beautiful Central Hotel, in which rooms are small but clean, and have common Wi-Fi.Ocean 77 (About $25 per night)On Petaling Street in Chinatown, this brand new hotel is most spotlessly clean. There is a flat screen TV and good Wi-Fi in each room. The location is good, in the heart of the Petaling Street market. No cafe in the hotel, but many on the street.1.In the Chinatown Inn you are told to choose a room with a window ________.A.because the light in the room is dimB.so that you can breathe the fresh airC.so that you can let some warm air inD.so that you can have a good view from it2.If a guest likes surfing the Net, which of the following would be his first choice?A.The Chinatown InnB.Central Hotel.C.Ocean 77.D.Ancasa Express3.What is the unusual characteristic of Ocean 77?A.It is the cheapest, newest and cleanest.B.Its location is in the heart of the city.C.It is located in the street in Chinatown.D.There is a flat screen TV and good Wi-Fi.BImagine that youare a superhero. Your superpowers are activated by a special suit. The suit communicates with your brain. It allows you to do amazing things with only a thought. By concentrating on strength, for example, you can kick a soccer ball across a field. By focusing on swift actions, you can jump to the top of a tree.Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy. To scientists, though, it is a very real goal. They are creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk. These machines may soon help disabled humans do the same. Unlike other bionic devices, these robotic “super suits” do not communicate with muscles and nerves. Instead, they have a direct line to the brain.In 2005, doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hutchinson, who had lost her right arm in an accident. Then they inserted a sensor onto her motor cortex (大脑皮层运动区). Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her head. After she recovered, researchers pluggedHutchinson’s receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain to computers. Then they connected a robotic arm to the computers. The computerscould interpretHutchinson’s brain signals to move the arm.Soon,Hutchinson, the computer, and the robotic arm became a team.Hutchinsonwas even able to lift her hand and drink from a cup. “She smiled when she put down that drink—that’s everything.” says Donoghue, a brain scientist.Today other scientists are building on that success. One of those scientists is Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, who designed a whole-body bionic equipment. In 2014, a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World Cup Games wearing one of Miguel’s full-body exoskeletons.The exoskeleton was connected to brain signal sensors in the man’s cap. By thinking about kicking, he sent signals to a computer on his back. The computer then translated the signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick. Such designs may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.4.Which can best describe the tone of paragraph 1?A. Narrative and serious.B. Persuasive and critical.C. Informative and objective.D. Descriptive and imaginative.5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Reason of the experiment.B. Results of the experiment.C. Process of the experiment.D. Significance of the experiment.6. Why is Dr. Miguel’s exoskeleton special?A. It can be used on animals.B. It can move the whole body.C. It was supported by computers.D. It was connected directly to the brain.7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Robotic suits may be widely used to help disabled people.B. Exoskeleton is more common thanHutchinson’s bionic arm.C.Scientific experiments are commonly carried out in football fields.D. Disabled athletes can now play football again with the help of computer.CChina's Mars probe Tianwen-1 successfully landed on the surface of the red planet on May 15, 2021, leaving a Chinese footprint on Mars for the first time and in its first attempt, becoming the only other nation besides theUSto get such an achievement. The Tianwen-1 probe touched down at its pre-selected landing area in the southern part of Utopia Planitia, a wide plain on Mars, at 7:18 a.m.(Beijing Time), after three months scanning the whole planet on Mars docking orbit, the China National Space Administration(CNSA) announced.Tianwen-1, including an orbiter, a lander and a rover, was launched from the 'Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on the coast of southernChinas islandprovinceofHainanon July 23, 2020. It was the first step inChina's planetary exploration of the solar system, with the aim of completing orbiting, landing and roving on the red planet in one mission. According to the administration, the country's first Martian probe will conduct scientific investigations about the Martian soil, environment, atmosphere as well as water.China's planetary exploration program has been named “Tianwen”, which was named after a long poem by the famous ancient poet Qu Yuan. The name represents the Chinese nation's willpower in pursuing truth, thecountry's cultural inheritance of its understanding of nature and universe, as well as the unending exploration in science and technology.China's first Mars rover has been named “Zhurong”, which means the god of fire in an ancient Chinese story. The name indicates Chinese people's blessing for the rover to light the flame ofChina's planetary exploration. The rover has six wheels and four solar panels, and carries 13 scientific instruments. According to the CNSA, Zhurong has started its scientific exploration after moving from the landing platform onto the Red Planet's surface on May 22.More than 40 Mars missions have been launched since the 1960s, but only about half have succeeded. It is the first time in the world that orbiting, landing and roving on Mars has been completed in one launch mission, andChinahas come to the forefront of Mars exploration in the world.8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. China is the only nation to launch a probe to Mars.B. Tianwen-1 landed in the northern part of the planet.C. Tianwen-1 scanned the southern part of the planet.D. The Mars probe will carry out scientific investigations.9. How did the planetary exploration program get its name?A. From a long poem by Qu Yuan.B. From an ancient Chinese story.C. From Chinese nation's willpower.D. From theChinaNational Space Administration.10. Why does the author sayChinahas come to the leading position of Mars exploration?A. The rover carried many scientific instruments.B. China completed three tasks in one attempt.C. The rover successfully moved from the landing platform onto Mars.D. The CNSA is continuously exploring science and technology.11. What is the text mainly about?A. Tianwen-1 completed its mission.B. Tianwen-1 represented the god of fire.C. Tianwen-1 successfully landed on Mars.D. Tianwen-1 was launched from Wenchang.DDisease-carrying mosquitoes can spread diseases without affecting themselves. Nearly 700 million people geta mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.Even though DEET remains the most commonly used, and most powerful, mosquito repellent ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.In his lab atIowaStateUniversity, Dr. Joel Coats and his team have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection, and they are called “spatial” repellents, since they act through space. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, and houses. The other group are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; collaborators at the USDA-ARS and BioGents have conducted testing with humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegradable, with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.12. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 1?A. The way mosquitoes spread disease.B. The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness.C. The difficulty of fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes.D. The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes.13. What is a disadvantage of DEET?A. It won’t be effective for long.B. It can’t be applied universally.C. It causes discomfort to the users.D. It greatly harms people’s health.14. What can we learn about the second group of the new repellents?A. They can kill mosquitoes indirectly.B. They are mainly used in the open air.C. They are more effective on human skin.D. They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users.15. What’s the author’s attitude to the new repellents?A. Subjective.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.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。

2019-2020学年合肥市一六八中学高三英语第二次联考试题及答案解析
2019-2020学年合肥市一六八中学高三英语第二次联考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIf you had the opportunity to live forever, would you take it? Keeping your body alive indefinitely still seems like an impossibility, but some scientists think that digital technology may have the answer: creating a digital copy of your “self” and keeping it “alive” online long after your physical body has ceased to function.In effect, the proposal is to clone a person electronically. Unlike the familiar physical clones — children that have identical features as their parents, but that are completely separate organisms with a separate life — your electronic clone would believe itself to be you. How might this be possible? The first step would be to mapthe brain.How? One plan relies on the development of nanotechnology (纳米技术). Ray Kurzweil — one of the kings of artificial intelligence — predicts that within two or three decades we will have nano transmitters that can be put into the bloodstream. Inthe capillaries (毛细血管) of the brain, they would line up alongside the neurons and detect the details of the cerebral (大脑的) electronic activity. They would be able to send that information to a receiver inside a special helmet, so there would be no need for any wires sticking out of the head.As a further step, Ray Kurzweil also imagines the nano transmitters being able to connect you to a world of virtual reality on the Internet, similar to what was shown in the film “Matrix”. With the nano transmitters in place, by thought alone, you could log on to the Internet and instead of the pictures coming up on your screen, they would play inside your mind. Rather than send your friends e-mails you would agree to meet up on some virtual tropical beach.Some peoplebelieve that they can enjoy life after death. But why wait for that when you could have a shot of nanobots (纳米机器人) and upload your brain onto the Internet and live forever as a virtual surfer?One snag: to exist on the net you will have to have your neural network parked on the computer of a web-hosting company. These companies want real money in real bank accounts every year or they will wipe your bit of the hard disc and sell the space to someone else. With your body six feet underground how will you pay?1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Nano transmitters can help map the human brain.B.

To reach 70 percent by July 4, around 1.6 percent of the population needs to get their first dose per week from now until July 4.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)reported last week that 63 percent of adults hadreceived their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That was up slightly from 62 percent from the report a week before. The additional 1 percent of adults completing their first dose is the lowest since the CDC started tracking the vaccination rate in mid-February.On average, fewer than 1 million shots are given out per day, a decline of more than two-thirds from the peak of 3.4 million in April, The Washington Post reported. In South Carolina, about 71,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3, compared to a high of nearly 300,000 in one week in early April, according to data from the CDC.The slowdown is moreprominentacross the South and Midwest. Twelve states have seen vaccinations fall to 15 daily shots per 10,000 residents. Less than a quarter of black Americans had received their first COVID-19 shotas of June 7.James Hildreth, CEO of Meharry Medical College, told Politico, “We need to make a stronger effort to bring the vaccine to the communities, rather than relying on the communities to come to vaccination centers.”The sharp decline in vaccination began in mid-April when federal officials temporarily stopped the use of the Johnson&Johnson vaccine while they investigated rare blood-clotting(凝血)reactions.The “low-hanging fruit—thosepeople who ly want to get vaccinated without you telling them anything” have already been vaccinated, which has led to the slowdown, Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on a White House-organized call with community leaders last week, according to the Post.8. What can we learn from the text?A. Dr Anthony Fauci is in charge of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.B. In South Carolina, about 300,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3C. In mid-April federal officials temporarily suspended the Johnson&Johnson vaccine.D. Less than one fourth of Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot by June 7.9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prominent” in Para. 5?A. Meaningful.B. Obvious.C. Inspiring.D. Complex.10. How can America increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate according to James Hildreth?A. By giving the vaccine shot at the communities.B. By offering the vaccine to the public for free.C. By frequently informing the public of the vaccine.D. By urging the communities to come to vaccination centers.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Biden wishes to have 70% of adults with one shot by July 4B. CDC has been trackingthe vaccination rate since mid-FebruaryC. Some Americans need to get vaccinated without telling them toD. Biden’s July 4th vaccine goal may be missedDI don’t want to talk about being a woman scientistagain. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (controlled) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin ofthe universe, the shape of space, time and the nature of black holes.At 19, when I began studying astrophysics (天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement — jobs, research papers, awards — was viewed through the lens (镜片) of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations (挑衅): I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45.I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.12. Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?A. She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination (歧视).B. She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.C. She is not good at telling stories of the kind.D. She finds space research more important.13. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute (把……归因于) the author’s failures to ________.A. the burden she bears in a male-dominated societyB. her involvement in gender politicsC. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicistD. the very fact that she is a woman14. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.C. People’s fixed attitude toward female scientists.D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurtured.15. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?A. Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.B. Women can balance a career in science and having a family.C. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.D. Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.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。

2010-2023历年安徽省六校教育研究会高三联考英语试卷(带解析)
2010-2023历年安徽省六校教育研究会高三联考英语试卷(带解析)第1卷一.参考题库(共20题)1.I am ______ about the new model, and I firmly believe that there will be a good market for it.A.concernedB.doubtfulC.confidentD.particular2.All across California, honeybees are flying away from their hives(蜂箱) and dying. Empty hives are causing a lot of worry about some important food crops.Bees give us a lot more than delicious honey. They are pollinators(授粉者)—they enable plants to produce the fruits and nuts we enjoy by carrying pollen from one plant or flower to the next. The wind pollinates oats, corn, and wheat, but many other plants (like apple and cherry trees and melon vines) depend on insects, bats, and birds. In the U.S., millions and millions of bees kept by human beekeepers fly around doing a lot of this important work for food crops. “Bees are worth protecting because their work adds so much to our diet,” says Dr. Jeff Pettis of the Bee Research Laboratory. California’s almond (杏仁) crop alone depends on about half the bees in the country. But now the almond crop and many others could be in trouble with so many bees dying. Researchers at government and university labs all over the country are trying to figure out why so many bees are dying. However, bees are hard to study. Most die away from the hive, so researchers don’t have dead bodies to examine. And when researchers return to a hive after two weeks, about half the bees they studied on their first visit will be dead, replaced by new ones in the natural life cycle of bees. “It isn’t like studying a large animal like a cow that doesn’t move around much and is easy to find out in the cow field,” says Pettis.Researchers have some ideas about what could be affecting bee health. They could be sick from poisons widely used to kill insects, or they might not be getting enough good food to stay strong. Also, tiny insects called mites feed on bees. “A virus or bacteria could also be doing the killing.” explains Pettis.【小题1】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The wind helps pollinate.B.Bees are important in food crops.C.Bees give us a lot of delicious honey.D.Cherry trees are pollinated by bees.【小题2】Bees are hard to study because ____________.A.they move around too muchB.new bees soon replace all the bees studied by researchersC.they are too tinyD.they never return to hives【小题3】What could cause so many bees to die?A.Poisons to kill birds.B.Eating too much.C.Large insects.D.Some virus.【小题4】What can we learn from the article?A.A large number of bees have died in the hive.B.Without bees, some foods would disappear from our diet.C.Only researchers in California want to know what kills bees.D.Large animals are easier to study than tiny insects.3.—People often don't appreciate what they have, do they?—No, _________ they lose it.A.ifB.afterC.untilD.when4.手机和我们的生活越来越密切,让我们的联系变得更加方便,可有人认为手机并不利于真正的交流。

Itreads: “Be excellent to yourself dude(朋友),” the same message inside the bottle. The note, a linefrom the 1989 Keanu Reeves movie “Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure,” was written by SidonieFery and threw into the ocean inside a bottle. She died in 2010 at the age of 18in a fall from a cliff(悬崖) in Switzerland.The bottle only traveled a mile or two westward from where it was likely deposited to thelocation where cleanup workers found it. It was intermingled with broken clothes,boating equipment and a range of sea trash.But because the note included the girl's New York City phone number, what otherwise wouldhave been a worthless piece of trash became a priceless souvenir.

But now the traditional Sunday roastseems to have been left back in the old days. According to the Daily Mail, just onein 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular. In the busy modern world,4where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch isa quick sandwich in front of the computer screen, people just don’t seem to have thetime or patience to make a roast.And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook.Nowadays,people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinkingabout heating the oven(烤箱) up.However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tightschedules: “It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the halfof it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen, andthe table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends.“For busy moms and dads, even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone andthe TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event, childrencan have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”28.The best title for the passage is probably _____.A.

Uncertain.DYour alarm goes off on your phone, and instead of turning it off and going on sleeping,you pick it up and stupidly say, “Hello?”You are, to use the technical term, suffering sleep drunkenness(迷糊), those first few confusedminutes people sometimes experience after waking, according to a just-published paper inNeurology( 神经学). For the first time, the phenomenon has been studied in a generaladult population.In telephone interviews the researchers conducted with more than 19,000 healthy individuals,about 25 percent reported experiencing some sort of sleep-drunk episode(插曲) in the last year, and12 percent said this happens to them at least once a week.Most of their stories were actually pretty funny, said Stanford University Schoolof Medicine psychiatrist(精神病学家) Maurice Ohayon. One man picked up his alarm clockand mistook it for his phone, holding a two-minute conversation on it. Anotherparticipant woke in the middle of the night and couldn’t find the bathroom in her ownhome. Other common examples are that foggy feeling you get when you first wake up witha start on a Saturday before realizing it’s the weekend, or when you wake up in ahotel room and can’t immediately figure out where you are.Ohayon explains that an abrupt awakening, to our poor, half-asleep brains, signals anemergency — a time for action, not reason.“For most people, and especially if this only happens to you every once in a while, it’s nothingto worry about. But for people who experience sleep drunkenness once a week or more,you mig ht as well refer to professional help to have a sound sleep.”32.The intended readers of the passage are probably _____.A.adults who don’t sleep well5B.teenagers who don’t have enough sleepC.people who suffer sleep drunkennessD.researchers who are fond of sleep disorder33.We can know from the first 3 paragraphs that _____.A.it’s stupid to leave the alarm on when sleepB.after waking all people struggled for awarenessC.there are many studies on adults’ sleep patternsD.it’s common for adults to suffer sleep drunkenness34.The fourth paragraph tells us that sleep drunkenness _____.A. occurs in different occasionsB. comes without any reasonC. hits when people are sleepingD. attacks those who are clouded35.What will be talked about after the last paragraph?A.Something to expand your sleep time.B.Ways to improve your sleep pattern.C.Methods of curing sleep drunkenness.D.Tips on how to help you to sleep better.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
