They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are… but they also turn you into a workaholic （工作狂）, it seems.A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the smart phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further 2 hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls.Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day. Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first email in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11pm and midnight.Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said: “The ability to access millions of apps has made smart phones invaluable for many people. However, there are disadvantages. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smart phones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity.”4．With a smart phone the average UK working day is ________.A．2 hours B．8 hours C．9 to 10 hours D．11 to 12 hours 5．It could be inferred from the text that the British people ________.A．prefer to check emails in the morningB．are crazy about different smart phonesC．work extra hours with smart phonesD．shorten their normal working hours6．What does Ghadi Hobeika feel about smart phones?A．They are unimportant for most of people.B．They have disadvantages for some companies.C．They are useful to improve a work ability.D．They make it impossible for people to rest.7．What can we conclude from the text?A．Every coin has two sides.B．All that glitters is not gold.C．It never rains but pours.D．It’s no good crying over spilt milk.The Leaning Tower of Pisa was straight like a pole when the construction began in 1173. It started to shift direction soon after construction because of poor foundation in addition to the loose layer of subsoil(底土). At the beginning, it leaned to the southeast before the shaky foundation started to shift leaning towards the southwest. After the period of structural strengthening at the beginning of the 21st century, now the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans at an angle of 3.97 degrees.In 1178, the shift in direction was observed for the first time when the construction had progressed further to the third floor. The tower was heavy for the three-meter foundation that was built on a weak area of land.For compensating(补偿) the leaning position, the builders started to construct the upper floors with one side higher than the other one. This caused the tower to lean in the other direction. This unusual structure led to the tower being actually curved. In spite of these efforts, the tower kept on leaning.The government of Italy started to plan prevention of the complete collapse of the tower in 1964. However, a request was put forward by the authorities to keep the leaning positionbecause of the tourism industry of the region.After nearly two decades of careful planning by engineers, historians and mathematicians, the stabilization efforts for the Leaning Tower of Pisa started in 1990. The tower was closed for the general public and the people living nearby moved away. For reducing the total weight of the tower, its seven bells which represented the seven musical notes were removed. The tower was reopened for the general public on December 15, 2001.In May 2008, after removing another 70 metric tons of earth, the engineers announced that the tower had been finally stabilized and it would remain stable for at least 200 years. 8．The Leaning Tower of Pisa began to lean probably because ________.A．it was too high like a poleB．its foundation shook badlyC．the work of repair was delayedD．the soil of its foundation was too weak9．People noticed the Leaning Tower of Pisa shift its direction ________.A．as soon as it was constructedB．during the constructionC．at the end of the constructionD．as soon as it was completed10．Who preferred not to change the leaning position of the Leaning Tower of Pisa? A．The authorities.B．The government.C．The engineers.D．The historians.11．Which of the following is the right order according to this passage?a. People noticed the tower began to shift its direction.b. The repair work was carried out last time.c. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was repaired for the first time.d. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was built.e. The tower was opened to the visitors again.f. The government started to make a plan for the tower.A．c,d,a,f,b,e B．f,e,a,d,c,bC．d,a,f,c,e,b D．d,e,b,f,c,aA new study, conducted by British company Mindlab International, has found that listening to music at work increases accuracy and speed, The Telegraph reported. Perhaps, some parents disagree with this idea, saying, "Switch off the music and concentrate!" Well, if that's the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, mathematical word problems, data entry, and abstract reasoning. The participants completed these tasks while listening to music or no music at all.The results showed that while music was playing, 88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work. David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International, told The Telegraph, "Music is a very powerful management tool if you want to increase not only the efficiency of your workforce but also their emotional state... they are going to become more positive about the work."However, you may have a list of your favorite songs, but not all kinds of music match all homework. For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail, you should listen to classical music, the study found. In the study, pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all. If you are reviewing your English writing, pop music is the best choice, as it is the best kind for spell checking. It cut mistakes by 14%, compared to listening to no music. After finishing your homework, do you often take time to check your answers? Maybe, some dance music is suitable for you. 12．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Music helps us to learnB．We cannot live without musicC．Different music, different livesD．Music in the classroom.13．What did the participants have to do in the study？A．Persuade their parents to listen to music.B．Listen to the same music together.C．Try their best to choose the most suitable music.D．Finish tasks with music or without music at all.14．What does the underlined word "they" refer to in Para 3？A．tools B．resultsC．tests D．participants15．When you review your English writing, what kind of music is the best choice？A．Classical music B．Dance musicC．Pop music D．Rock music二、七选五根据短文内容,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。

2021年宁夏银川一中高三英语月考试题及答案

2021年宁夏银川一中高三英语月考试题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AThe 2021 Weibo Movie Night—an award ceremony jointly organized by Sina Weibo and China Movie Channel—was held on June 12, gathering around 100 filmmakers and A-list stars. Following are some upcoming films.BipolarCast: Dou Jingtong, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Wang ZhiwenDirector: Li MengqiaoAudience will follow a young woman’s unusual trip across China,who wishes to send a stolen lobster (龙虾) back to the sea. Li said that it’s a sort of experiment, examining the line between dreams and reality. Andthis is singer-actress Dou Jingtong’s first leading role.On Your MarkCast: Wang Yanhui and Zhang YouhaoDirector: Chiu Keng Gua (Malaysia)Inspired from a true story,On Your Markis about a taxi driver and his son, a marathon enthusiast who’s struggling with a visually-impaired disease. In order to help his son to realize his dream, the father joins a marathon training group to serve as his son’s personal “competition assistant”. This film is expected to tug the heartstrings of moviegoers near Father’s Day.TheBattleatLakeChangjinCast: Wu Jing, Hu Jun, Li Chen and Zhang HanyuDirector: Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark and Dante LamThe film centers on how the Chinese People’s Volunteers fearlessly fought against foreign invaders during an extremely cold winter. The battle destroyed around 13,000 enemies of US troops, becoming a turning point to lay the foundation for the final victory.Chinese DoctorsCast: Zhang Hanyu, Yuan Quan, Zhu Yawen and Li ChenDirector: Liu WeiqiangAdapted from true stories, it is about Chinese medical staff’s battle to rescue lives during the COVID-19 outbreak last year inWuhanJinyintanHospital.1. Who plays the leading role inBipolar?A. Dou Jingtong.B. Yuan Quan.C. Li Mengqiao.D. Zhang Hanyu.2. Which film focuses on the war betweenChinaand theU.S.?A.Bipolar.B.On Your Mark.C.Chinese Doctors.D.TheBattleatLakeChangjin.3. What doOn Your MarkandChinese Doctorshave in common?A. They both star Zhang Hanyu.B. They are based on true stories.C. They reflect the efforts to rescue lives.D. They are directed by Chinese directors.BContrary to the long-held belief that plants in the natural world are always in competition, new research has found that in severe environments adult plants help smaller ones and grow well as a result.The research, led by Dr Rocio, studied adult and seedling (幼苗)plants in the ecological desert in the south-east of Spain. Dr Rocio said, “If you're a seedling in a poor land — the top of a mountain or a sand hill, for example-and you’re lucky enough to end up underneath a big plant, your chances of survival are certainly better than if you landed somewhere on your own. What we have found, which was surprising, is an established large plant, called a ‘nurse’, protects a seedling; it also produces more flowers than the same plants of similar large size growing on their own.”Other benefits of nurse-seedling partnerships include that more variety of plants growing together can have a positive effect on the environment. For example, vegetation areas with nurse plants with more flowers might be able to attract higher numbers of pollinators(传粉者)in an area, in turn supporting insect and soil life and even provide a greater range of different fruit types for birds and other animals.“The biggest winner for this system of nursing a plant is biodiversity(生物多样性),” Dr Rocio said. “The more biodiversean area, the greater number of species of plants, insect life, mammals and birds, and the better the chances of long-term healthy functioning of the environment and ecosystems. ” This system is win-win for adult and seedling plants in unfavorable environments.The research is of value to those who manage and protect plants in tough environments. Most home gardeners and farmers plan to ensure their soil and conditions are the best they can be for plant growth, but the findings might be of value to those who garden in bare places.4. What is a common understanding of plants?A. They can help each other.B. They can survive ill conditions.C. They compete with each other.D. They grow well on their own.5. What will happen to seedling plants if they grow under adult plants?A. They will produce more flowers.B. They will die owing to competition.C. They will make adult plants larger.D. They will get support from adult plants.6. What is the effect of the nurse-seedling partnership?A. It leads to unfavorable environments.B. It produces long-term healthy chances.C. It attracts higher and larger pollinators.D It provides a more variety of plant types.7. Who will benefit from the new research?A. People studying organic farming.B. People protecting plants on sand hills.C. People wanting to change biodiversity.D. People keeping more animals on the farm.CAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism. Their critics(批评家)seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays.The poor old consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn't forget is the “small ads.” What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column(栏目) but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It's the best advertisement for advertising there is!8. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Advertisements steal money from our pocketsB. The critics get the wrong idea of advertisements.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. Advertisements are everywhere.9. What is the attitude of the author toward advertisements?A. He appreciates the role of advertisements.B. He doubts the effect of advertisements.C. He believes what is said in advertisements.D. He complains too many advertisements in daily life.10. Which of the following is Not True?A. The personal or “agony” column makes us know more about human nature.B. The only purpose of advertising is to sell goods.C. A newspaper will cost us more if there is no advertisement on it.D. Advertisement makes our life color1 ful.11. Whicof the following shows the structure of the passage?( ①=" Paragraph" 1, ②=" paragraph" 2, ③=" paragraph" 3, ④=" paragraph" 4 ⑤=" paragraph" 5)A B.C. D.DAt the World Economic Forum last month, President Trump drew claps when he announced the United States would respond to the forum's proposal to plant one trillion(万亿) trees to fight climate change. The trillion-tree idea won wide attention last summer after a study published in the journal Science concluded thatplanting so many trees was “the most effective climate change solution to date”.If only it were true. But it isn't. Planting trees would slow down the planet's warming, but the only thing that will save us and future generations from paying a huge price in dollars, lives and damage to nature is rapid and considerable reductions in carbon release from fossil fuels, to net zero by 2050.Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion(偏离). Worse still, it takes attention away from those responsible for the carbon release that are pushing us toward disaster. For example, in the Netherlands, you can pay Shell an additional 1 euro cent for each liter of regular gasoline you put in your tank, to plant trees to balance the carbon release from your driving. That's clearly no more than disaster slightly delayed. The only way to stop this planet from overheating is through political, economic, technological and social solutions that end the use of fossil fuels.There is no way that planting trees, even across a global area the size of theUnited States, can absorb the huge amounts of fossil carbon released from industrial societies. Trees do take up carbon from the atmosphere as they grow. But this uptake merely replaces carbon lost when forests were cleared in the first place, usually longago. Regrowing forests where they once grew can undo some damage done in the past, but even a trillion trees can't store enough carbon to head off dramatic climate changes this century.In a sharp counter argument to last summer's Paper in Science, Justin Gillis wrote in the same journal in October that the study's findings were inconsistent with the dynamics of the global carbon cycle. He warned that “the claimthat global tree restoration(复原) is our most effective climate solution is simply scientifically incorrect and dangerously misleading”.12. What do we know about the trillion-tree idea?A. It was published in a journal.B. It was proposed last summer.C. It was put forward by Trump.D. It drew lots of public attention.13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. A drawback of the tree planting strategy.B. An example of balancing carbon release.C. An anecdote of making a purchase at Shell.D. A responsibility for politicians and economists.14. What was Justin Gillis's attitude towards global tree restoration?A. Indifferent.B. Opposed.C. Hesitant.D. Supportive.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Contradictory Ideas on Tree Planting.B. A Trillion Trees Come to the Rescue.C. Planting Trees Won't Save the World.D. The Best Solution to Climate Change.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。

From years of staying in hotels （mostly for work）we've learned how to minimize the risk of hotel theft or other hotel risks by employing the simple but effective hotel safety strategies listed below.Always lock the doorAll hotels have door latches （门锁）that add an extra layer of security to the door. It won't stop the most determined thieves, but it will slow them down and for the less ambitious it might be enough to scare them off. If your door has a manual lock, be sure to flip it locked. You can't have enough protection.Avoid leaving valuables in your roomNumerous staff members have master keys that can open every room in the hotel and the cleaning staff enters your room at least once a day. While most are professionals and wouldn't dream of taking anything, there's no need to tempt them by leaving your diamond ring on the bed or laptop in plain sight.

A technical instruction book.B. A community survey report.C. A diary.D. A guidebook.BMy name is Jaimie Eckert and I've been into volunteer work since childhood. As a girl, I volunteered at animal shelters, played music at nursing homes, and helped with community cleanup after disasters. In college, I volunteered heavily at a large yearly conference for youngadults, which is where I fell in love with my husband-to-be, who was on my team ofco-volunteers. Since getting married in 2013，we've been living in Beirut, Lebanon. I actually have an online coaching business but I've had many opportunities to volunteer with projects for Syrian refugees （难民）and youth education.Volunteering has been a way of life for me for a very long time, and I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it. Most of the time, you do feel that you're making a difference. Once I was leading out a project that provided food boxes to Syrian refugee families. When it was nearing Ramadan, the biggest holiday season in Islam, I literally stuffed the food package with extra treats...dates, nuts, olive oil and sweets. We took the package unannounced and ended up arriving just as the Syrian family was sitting down on their floor for breakfast. They had nothing more than a few pieces of bread and a pot of tea. The mother was in tears as she received us. I'll never forget their gratitude.Another time, back when I was in college in the US，a group of friends and I volunteered to drive to a distant church that was way out in the suburb and had only a few elderly members. The building was in disrepair and the churchyard needed attention. We stayed the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and repair the church. I'll never forget how new life sparkled in her eyes. She couldn't repair broken doors or pull weeds, but her love for us was unmatched. It breaks my hear to remember this old lady beaming with joy for such small efforts that we made. Sometimes, volunteer work is fulfilling not because of the actual job you get done, but because of how your presence impacts the people around you. Volunteering makes me a better person because it gets me outside of myself. It puts my focus on others. It makes me grateful for what I have.21.In writing Paragraph 1，the author aims to ______ .A. provide an explanationB. introduce a topicC. reach a conclusionD. propose a definition22.What does Paragraph 2 focus on？______A.

Positive.CTraffic lights, or traffic signals, are located on most major corners in cities and towns around the world. The red, yellow and green lights let us know when it is safe to drive through the intersection （十字路口）and when to walk across the street as well as when to stop and let other drivers, bikers and pedestrians take their turns to continue on their way.Traffic jams were a problem even before the invention of the automobile. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians crowded the roads of London in the 1860s. A British railway manager,John Peake Knight,suggested adapting a railroad method for controlling traffic. Railroads used a semaphore（信号）system with small arms extending from a pole to indicate whether a train could pass or not. In Knight's adaptation,semaphores would signal "stop" and "go" during the day,and at night red and green lights would be used. Gas lamps would light up the sign at night. A police officer would be stationed next to the signals to operate them.The world's first traffic signal was installed on Dec. 9，1868，at the intersection of Bridge Street and Great George Street in the London borough of Westminster,near the Houses of Parliament and the Westminster Bridge. It was a success and Knight predicted more would be installed.However, only one month later, a police officer controlling the signal was badly injured when a leak in a gas main caused one of the lights to explode in his face. The project was declared a public health hazard and immediately dropped.Following the accident, about four decades passed before traffic signals began to grow in popularity again, mainly in the United States as more automobiles hit the road. The early 1900ssaw several patents being field, each with a different innovation to the basic idea.The first electric traffic light using red and green lights was invented in 1912 by Lester Farnsworth Wire,a police officer in Salt Lake City, Utah. Wire's traffic signal resembled a four-sided bird-house mounted on a tall pole. It was placed in the middle of an intersection and was powered by overhead trolley wires. A police officer had to manually switch the direction of the lights.26.What benefit do traffic lights bring to the world？______A. They let the pedestrians know how to cross the intersection.B. They decorate most main corners in cities and towns around the world.C. They help to solve the problem of traffic blocks.D. They keep us safe by stopping drivers, bikers and pedestrians.27.What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3？______A. Knight invented electric traffic lights to case traffic jams.B. A semaphore system contained small arms extending from a pole to guide trains pass.C. Semaphores only worked during the day.D. The knight's signals system required a policeman to guard it all day.28.The purpose of the author mentioning the explosion of the first traffic signal is to ______ .A. tell us the success of the first traffic signalB. show the awkwardness of the first traffic signalC. show how careless the police officer wasD. tell us Knight's determination29.What is the main factor behind the rapid development of traffic signals？______A. The improvement of the traffic signals.B. The emergence of large numbers of cars.C. The accident caused by the traffic signals.D. More automobile accidents on the road.30.What could be the best title for the passage？______A. Who invented the traffic light？B. A boom in traffic lightsC. History of the traffic lightsD. The mystery of traffic lightsDMost children look forward to learning to read, a process whereby they learn to transform what are essentially abstract handwriting on a page into meaningful letters, then sounds, then words, and then entire sentences and paragraphs. Reading represents a code （密码）：specifically, an alphabetic code. A great number of children are able to break the code after a year of instruction. For at least one in five children, however, the experience is very different.For them, reading, which seems to come effortlessly for others, appears to be beyond their grasp. These children, who understand the spoken word and love to listen to stories, struggle to understand the same words when they are written on a page. They read slowly and uncertainly, and words that they read correctly in one sentence may be misread in a following sentence. Reading aloud may be particularly painful. Eventually they grow frustrated and disappointed. In the classroom, reading is king；it is essential for academic success. Teachers, witnessing the gap between good and poor readers widening, may wonder what they or these children might be doing wrong. Parents, knowing that reading problems have consequences all across development including into adult life, question themselves, feeling alternately guilty and angry. The worst thing parents can do if they suspect that their child has a reading problem is to do nothing, says neuroscientist （神经科学家）Dr. Sally Shaywitz. Thus, if you observe the signs, start by speaking to your child's teacher. Shaywitz offers some tips that will help parents make the most of their meeting with the teacher：▶ Before setting up a meeting, it often helps to list your observations and your concerns. Parents are often so nervous when speaking to their child's teacher that they forget why they were worried. The teacher will appreciate having such a list as well.▶ Set up a specific time to speak to your child's teacher；don't catch her on the run.▶ Find out how your child is progressing in reading, ask for specifics. Confirm exactly how their reading progress is being measured.▶ Ask what reading group your child is in and what level that reader group represents, and how they compare to others in their class and in their grade.▶ Ask what the teacher predicts for your child's progress by the end of the school year.31.What can we learn from Paragraph 1？______A. Reading an alphabetic code is hard.B. Most children like to read abstract letters.C. Some children have difficulties in reading.D. Few children can understand the code after a year of instruction.32.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE？______A. Reading is not as easy for some children as it is for others.B. All the children can understand spoken and written language.C. Although children with reading difficulty read slowly, they read correctly.D. The children become frustrated and unhappy because they will have to read aloud.33.What does Paragraph 4 focus on？______A. The correct way to deal with children's reading difficulties.B. The importance of observing child's behavior.C. Dr. Sally Shaywitz-a famous neuroscientist.D. The worst thing parents can do when it comes to their child's reading problems.34.The underlined part "don't catch her on the run" probably means " ______ ".A. don't run after herB. don't talk to her while runningC. don't speak to her while she is busyD. don't catch her as she runs away35.If parents want to meet with their child's teacher, they should ______ .A. arrange the meeting at the end of the school yearB. ask about their child's reading status at schoolC. ask the teacher to take measures to improve their child's reading abilityD. make a list of questions after the meetingEPrinceton University's TigerTransit Shuttle System Princeton University's TigerTransit shuttle system operates on a fixed route schedule, providing transportation throughout the Princeton campus and surrounding community.

The Polar Bear Hotel is part of the Harbin Polarland amusement park in Harbin, the capital and largest city in Heilongjiang province.It opened earlier this month and promised that guests would be able to see live polar bears from all 21 guest rooms. "Whether you're eating, playing or sleeping, polar bears will keep you company, " Harbin Polarland said in a statement on the WeChat messenger service. Photos and videos from Chinese state media showed people watching two polar bears in a closed, indoor space with artificial ice and small pools of water.Yang Liu is a spokeswoman for Harbin Polarland. She told Reuters that the indoor area is the only part of the bears' total living space. She said they are also let outdoors when temperature and air quality permits. Liu added there has been "very high" interest in staying at the hotel, where rooms cost from about 290 to351 a night.But some animal rights activists have criticized the hotel. Jason Baker is vice president at animal rights group PETA. He told Reuters, "Polar bears belong in the Arctic, not in zoos or glass boxes in aquariums -- and certainly not in hotels. " He added, "Polar bears are active for up to 18 hours a day in nature,roaming home ranges that can scan thousands of miles, where they enjoy a real life."In 2016，a shopping center in the southern city of Guangzhou drew worldwide criticism after videos showed a polar bear named Pizza lying on her side in a glass-walled area.Harbin Polarland was established in 2005. It calls itself the world's first polar performing arts amusement park.39.What makes the Polar Bear Hotel in Harbin unique？______A. Guests can watch polar bears in their room.B.

A textbook.D. A news report.GIt's no surprise that stress and anxiety are often viewed in a negative light, but Lisa Damour, a private-practice psychologist, suggests they're not always bad for us. She claims that a little bit of both can help build mental resilience （适应力）and these experiences can sometimes benefit us.Damour explained how stress often occurs when people operate at the edge of their abilities - when they push themselves or are forced by situations to stretch beyond their familiar limits. This can result from both bad and good events, she said. For instance, being fired is stressful, but so is bringing a baby home for the first time. She described how stress is unavoidable in daily life and that medium levels of stress "can have an inoculating function"，which can lead to "higher than average resilience" when we face new difficulties."Anxiety gets an unnecessarily bad comment," she said,"Anxiety is an alarm system inside the body,likely handed down by evolution, which informs us of threats from both outside, such as a driver turning aside suddenly, and inside, such as when we've wasted too much time and it's time to get started on a task."Viewing anxiety as sometimes helpful or even protective allows people to make good use of it,suggests Damour. For example, she often tells the teenagers she works with in her practice to pay attention if they start to feel anxious at a party because their nerves may be warning them ofa problem.43.When do people feel stressed according to Damour？______A. They have much work to do.B. They lose their favorite things.C. They deal with different situations.D. They're engaged in doing unfamiliar things.44.What does the underlined word "inoculating" probably mean in paragraph 2？______A. Unexpected.B. Unbearable.C. Positive.D. Determining.45.What's the purpose of paragraph 3？______A. To explain the reason for being anxious.B. To demonstrate the benefits of anxiety.C. To state the risk of being anxious.D. To present the solution to anxiety.46.What does the text mainly talk about？______A. Stress and anxiety aren't always bad.B. Stress and anxiety are part of our lives.C. We should focus on positive things in life.D. We should deal with stress and anxiety carefully.HMany researchers use the term artificial intelligence （AI）to describe the thinking and intelligent behavior by machines. While AI can be helpful to human beings, scientists warn it can also be a threat.Stuart Russell, who teaches computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, says humans should make AI products that we like."In the future," Russell says,"many of today's jobs that require a lot of physical labor will be replaced by machines with artificial intelligence. These include agricultural jobs, and ones with repetitive duties like telephone call centers. AI machines can also replace jobs like ones in the financial industry-jobs that require studying a lot of data."The health industry is one area that artificial intelligence is already changing. AI can process huge amounts of data, so doctors can use the most up-to-date information to diagnose and treat patients.IBM's Watson technology is already in use at hospitals in North and South America, Europe and Asia. Watson helps doctors keep up with information.There is also a dangerous side of artificial intelligence. One example is combining drone technology and AI to create autonomous weapons.Stuart Russell is working to create international treaties to ban such weapons. He says the risk is that people will use the technology to develop a kind of "poor men's nuclear weapon".IBM's Banavar points out the value of artificial intelligence, including search engines and the autopilot function on planes.The debate about whether artificial intelligence is good or bad for humans continues.Researchers agree there is no question that the technology is here, and that will continue to change the life on our planet.47.What can be inferred from Russell's words in paragraph 3？______A. People's lives are becoming better.B. Machines are cleverer and cleverer.C. More people are in danger of unemployment.D. People are bored with today's physical jobs.48.According to Banavar, which of the following statements is the value of ArtificialIntelligence？______A. Machines with AI can take the place of human beings.B. Machines with AI can help doctors treat and diagnose all diseases.C. Machines with AI can only fly a plane by itself without the need for a pilot.D. Machines with AI can be used in many fields, search engines included.49.What do the researchers most probably agree with？______A. AI is definitely changing human life.B. AI will change our life for the better.C. More people are needed in developing AI.D. AI is a big threat to people in the future.50.What is the best title of the text？______A. The Wide Usage of AIB. AI：a Double-edged SwordC. A Breakthrough in Developing AID. AI：a Threat for Humans三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）With smiling eyes, a quick wit and a good sense of humor,Jia Ling has long been a well-known female comedian.（1）______Jia, 39，starred in and directed the film, Hi, Mom, which by Feb 23rd has earned more than 4 billion yuan.

Egypt Theater.BThe first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, thefalloutfrom second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes (中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. ''Overreaction to Fearsome Risks'' holds true for broadersociety.For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processing information, bad events and mistakes. As much as we don't want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesn't necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.4. The first two paragraphs suggest that________.A. bad medical outcomes affect doctorsB delivering babies can be difficult workC. some doctors are not very experiencedD. doctors sometimes make silly mistakes5. In the blood-thinner study, doctors________.A. tend to prescribe less effective medicineB. are more concerned about the patients' safetyC. become less confident in writing a prescriptionD. believe a stroke is more treatable than a bleeding6. What does the underlined word ''fallout'' in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. ResultB. BenefitC. DifferenceD. Absence7. The author will probably agree that________.A. we should not doubt our own decisionsB. our experience will pave way for our futureC. humans are emotional and irrational on the wholeD. instincts don't necessarily lead to wrong directionsCElonMusk is a symbol of passion, hard work and success. A person may work hard in his life, but when hard work goes along with passion and a new idea, then something is created that astonishes the world. As the founder of big companies like PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla Motors, Elon Musk is a guide and inspiration for the youth around the world.Elon Musk was born on June 28,1971 inPretoria,South Africa. He was the eldest of three children. His father Errol Musk, a British-born South African, was an engineer. Musk spent his childhood inSouth Africaand at the age of 9, he got his first personal computer. This got Elon interested in programming and he started to learn on his own. At the age of 12, he made his first computer game, Blaster, which earned him $500 when he sold the source code to a magazine.When he was 17, he decided to leave home and had wanted to move to theUnited Statesafter graduating from a secondary school inPretoria. However, he was unable to move to theUnited States. In 1989, Elon Musk moved toCanada, where his mother’s s lived. After obtaining Canadian citizenship, Musk went toMontreal.

But then he realized that the most important thing was presenting himself with the right questions. The day he started doing this, everything started to get easier.Musk thought that a human being had to expand the limits of his consciousness—to ask the right questions and get answers to them; thus he asked the best question of all: what will have the greatest impact on the future of humans? Musk found that these things were the Internet and space exploration.The life of Elon Musk is inspiring. He found success on the Internet, without much formal learning. By reading books and using his willpower and dedication, he reached a level of knowledge that is difficult to imagine. He did not give up until he achieved his dreams. Elon Musk truly stands out among other billionaires because of his leadership abilities, positive attitude, ability to know when to take risks, and belief in futuristic technologies.8.

Adventurous and realistic.DKids often admire well-known celebrities, putting posters of their favorite musicians, movie stars and athletes on their bedroom walls. But rarely does a young person get to meet or talk to their idol. Yet for one young tennis player - Coco Gauff - her chance to do just that happened in an amazing way!Coco was born on March 13, 2004. At the age of 4, she developed an interest in tennis after watching Venus Williams win the Australian Open on TV. Coco began playing at 7 and showed a real talent for the sport. When young Coco turned 10, she began training at a tennis centre run by Venus's coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. He still remembers the first time he met Coco.

2021届宁夏银川一中高三英语模拟试卷及答案

2021届宁夏银川一中高三英语模拟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AThe question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn’t an either / or one, although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also insists that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central elements of America’s educational system at all levels. Both areas are the key to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Under these circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem; “major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run. Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their 4th and 5th jobs, as there’s little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers. The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible. The ability to take advantage of every available tool and insight—picked up from science, arts, and technology—to solve the problems of the future, and seize the opportunities, will be helpful to them and the nation.1. What does the latest congressional report suggest?A. STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.B. The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.C. The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life.D. Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.2. What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?A. Their interest in relevant subjects.B. The academic value of the courses.C. The quality of education to receive.D. Their chances of getting a good job.3. What does the author say about the so called “soft” subjects?A. They benefit students in their future life.B. They broaden students’ range of interests.C. They just improve students’ communication skills.D. They are essential to students’ healthy growth.BAs I was walking home，a boy seemed to be singing a song in a very low voice，walking infront of me and carrying some of the same high school books I had with me.I caught up to him，and said “Hello”．I could tell he wasstartled，and dropped one of his books.I picked it up and as I handed it to him，he said “Thank you.” in a strange way，like witha strong accent.We soon began walking together and talking.It turns out he was in my science class，and I didn’t even know it!His name was Ahmad，and his family had just moved here this school year.He invited me into his house，and his family treated me like a special guest，which made me feel very welcome.He said hospitality (好客) is very basic to his culture，and strangers were always treated very kindly.His mom brought out some great food，and offered me some tea.Ahmad’s father and two sisters wanted to hearall about me and my family，and my schooling.Ahmad’s whole family had to leave their lifelong home because war had broken out，and it wasn’t safe there anymore.They left with only what they could carry.His family was happy to feel safe，and they got used toAmerican culture quickly.They seemed pleased that Ahmad had brought a friend home to meet them.And as my friendship with Ahmad has continued，I now realize that the world is so much bigger than I thought！I also realize that your friends don’t have to be just like you.Differences make the world go round.4. What does the underlined word “startled” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Excited.B. Moved.C. Surprised.D. Interested.5. Why was the writer treated like a special guest by Ahmad’s family?A. They liked strangers who came to their home for help.B. They wanted to know more information about the writer.C. Strangers were always treated very kindly in their culture.D. The writer was an American and knew much about their culture.6. Where does the writer probably come from?A. Canada.B. America.C. China.D. Australia.7. What can we learn from the passage?A. People from different countries can be good friends.B. Friends need different cultures and different accents.C. Your friends should have a lot of things the same with you.D. You can’t make friends with people from other countries.CToo much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn andeven reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don't ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人）may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. These with college degrees had watch an averageof less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to increasing findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.8. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _________.A. have had computers in their bedroomsB. not be interested in mathC. be unable to go to collegeD. have watched a lot of TV9. What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.C. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.D. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.C. More time should be spent on computers.D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done11. What would be the best title for this text?A. Computers or TelevisionB. Effects of Television on ChildrenC. Studies on TV and College EducationD. Television and Children's Learning HabitsDCalifornia'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.12. 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.13. 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.14. What does the underlined word "They" refer to?A. The study plots.B. The data.C. Stewart and his colleagues.D. The seeds.15. What isDavis' attitude towards the tool?A. Skeptical.B. Ambiguous.C. Tolerant.D. Optimistic.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。

From New York, he caught a steamer to California, a newly minted American citizen, with a view to expanding the family’s dry goods business. But these were the exciting days of the Gold Rush, and the young man dreamed of making it big. His initiative paid off so well that you may be wearing his invention now: his name was Levi Strauss.Technically, the entrepreneur who went by the name “Uncle Levi” didn’t invent the copper rivets(铜铆钉) on jeans. The idea came from a tailor named Jacob Davis in Nevada who bought cloth from Strauss to make work clothes for laborers. In 1872，Jacob Davis persuaded him to jointly file for a patent for an “improvement in fastening pocket openings”, and to shift from selling fabric to finished trousers. Then follows a history of marketing genius---documented in the largest-ever public display of artefacts(手工制品) from Levi Strauss & Co."Levi Strauss: A History of American Style” at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco weav es together corporate, cultural and social trends to tell the story of one of the country’s most famous exports. When Strauss died in 1902, nobody could have expected that the firm he founded would define America’s style and become a popular sign globally.It did that by roping its product to two mythic American figures: the cowboy and the rebel (叛逆者).Levi' s 501 jeans were tough. Marketed originally to farmers, mechanics and miners, they became the garb (服装) of choice for Western horsemen. It wasn’t long before some celebrities John Wayne and Clark Gable were wearing them into various shows, followed by rebels played by Marlon Brando and James Dean.The brand' s advertising rode the countercultural(反主流文化) wave, using its status as a badge of coolness and f reedom. Marilyn Monroe wore Levi’s; Andy Warhol popularized them. Jeans that graced many famous figures--- including Patti Smith, Madonna and Beyoncé---fill the gallery and span the decades.24.

A new study out of Columbia University reveals a downside of these services. It turns out that ridesharing trips cause an increase in the number of accidents involving motorists and pedestrians at pick-up and drop-off locations.Previous studies on the relationship between ridesharing services and vehicle crashes compare cities where ridesharing services are available with cities where they are not, and this makes results somewhat ambiguous. In this study researchers analyze individual trips to make the picture a little clearer.Researchers analyzed data from 372 million ridesharing trips in New York City between 2017 and 2018. Whenever a crash occurred in the city, they calculated the number of ridesharing trips that began or ended in the area at the time of the accident. They compared this with the number of trips that took place in the same location one week before and one week after the crash. Researchers did the same calculations for regular taxi rides as part of their analyses. Also, separate analyses were performed based on the type of people injured in the crash: pedestrians, motorists or cyclists.The results of the analyses show that the rise in ridesharing trips is associated with an increase in the number of accidents involving pedestrians and motorists, but not cyclists. Furthermore, they did not find this same association between taxi trips and accidents.“Ridesharing is changing the way we move around cities.” says first author Christopher Morrison. “It is becoming clear that the technology reduces alcohol-related crashes, but these benefits do not seem to extend to the overall number of crashes. These findings help explain why that might be---- because thereductions in alcohol-related crashes are offset (抵消) by increases in other types of crashes.”Researchers hope that cities and ridesharing services will use the results of this study to take measures that might reduce the number of crashes. “In crowded areas with large numbers of rideshare pick-ups and drop-offs, cities could consider building taxi-rank style infrastructure (基础设施) to protect pedestrians and prevent crashes, ”concludes Morrison.28. What do we know about previous studies on ridesharing services?A. Their analysis is hardly reliable.B. Their findings are rather ridiculous.C. Their research method is out-of-date.D. Their research sample is not wide enough.29. What does the survey tell us?A. The increase in ridesharing trips can lead to an increase in accidents between cyclists and pedestrians.B. When there is a high number of ridesharing trips, there is usually an increase in the number of accidents.C. Ridesharing is changing the way we move around cities.D. Cyclists are always safe.30. What fact does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Ridesharing reduces alcohol-related crashes.B. Ridesharing doe sn’t increase accidents involving cyclists.C. Various types of crashes increase with ridesharing services.D. Overall crashes don’t decrease along with alcohol-related crashes.31. What does Morrison suggest in the last paragraph?A. Improving infrastructure to expand taxi services.B. Banning ridesharing services in crowded places.C. Constructing some stops for ridesharing vehicles.D. Reducing the number of pick-ups and drop-offs.DAfter the season for giving, it is the one for throwing away. Each year in late December and early January a massive amount of plastic packaging is discarded (丢弃) worldwide. In Britain alone households generate 30% more waste, an extra 3m tonnes, in the month over Christmas. Most is destined for landfill. Lithuania will do less damage than many, though. The country now recycles at a record level. Almost three- quarters (74%) of plastic packaging waste was recycled there in 2017, the highest proportion in Europe.Much of Lithuania' s success is due to a deposit refund scheme (方案). Customers pay €0.10 extrawhen buying drinks containers. After use, these can be fed into reverse vending machines (反向自动售货机) installed in shops, which spit the deposit back out. The machines’ contents are sent directly to recycling centers. By the end of 2017, 92% of all bottles and cans sold in Lithuania were being returned. The overall plastic packaging recycling rate increased by almost 20%.The Lithuanian government says the scheme has fueled a potential love for recycling in its citizens. Nearly 90% of Lithuanians have used the machines at least once. However, Lithuanians do not generally describe themselves as eco-fighters. A 2017 survey by the European Commission found they were less likely than most other Europeans to regard environmental issues as “very important”.The eagerness of Lithuanian recyclers may stem not from a love of the Earth but from a low net worth(资本净值). A tenth of the population live on less than €245 a month. In big cities it is common to see people scooping recyclable items out of bins to take to the machines.Less litter and money for people who need it seems like a win-win. But it might not in fact be best for the environment in the long run. In Germany ----where a similar, widely used refund deposit scheme has been in place since 2003 --- the earnings from keeping the deposits from unreturned bottles seem to have discouraged producers from switching to more sustainable packaging.32. What might most Lithuanian customers do under the deposit refund scheme?A. They send their drinks containers directly to recycling centers.B. They spend more on drinks than other European customers.C. They return their used drinks containers.D. They use vending machines to buy drinks.33. What did the 2017 survey find out?A. Lithuania beat many countries in plastic recycling.B. Lithuanians were less aware of environmental conservation.C. Lithuanians made much money from recycling.D. Lithuania had an unequal income distribution.34. What is the author’s attitude to the deposit refund scheme?A. Positive.B. Unfavorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Uninterested.35. What does the text mainly focus on?A. How and why Lithuanians recycle their trash.B. How waste turns into treasure in LithuaniaC. Who are recycling plastic bottles in LithuaniaD.
