2019-2020学年重庆市南开中学校高三英语月考试卷及参考答案

2019-2020学年重庆市南开中学校高三英语月考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AI truly thought thatI might die that day. Had I not seen three bears and a few wolves over the last couple of days near the road, I might have just lain down and called it quits. What in the world was I thinking, dragging my bike up to Yellowstone and thinking I could ride from West Yellowstone to Old Faithful in the snow? No less!I had planned this trip for more than two months, and I wasn't about to give up so easily. The first few miles were beautiful. Ten miles in, I started sucking wind. Fifteen miles and my legs felt like they were made of lead. By twenty miles, my lungs were burning and felt like there was nothing left in the tank. That was when I turned around and saw my husband and three children cheering me on in the van behind me. I knew I couldn't quit because I tell my children all the time that just because something is hard doesn't mean that you stop doing it. I had to live what I'd been preaching(说教). That thought got me up that mountain and to the end of the ride.The importance of that ride was apparent after only a week. My eight-year-old daughter Emalee wanted to ride in a twelve-mile charity ride. That day was cold as well. She was the youngest rider. About four miles into the ride, she started feeling cold. The chill(寒冷)was making her muscles cramp a little and she began to struggle. By six miles, she had tears running down her face. It broke my heart to see her suffering like that.I told herthat she didn't have to finish. She said that she wouldn't quit. I told her how I had wanted to quit the week before, but perseverance had gotten me to the end and I knew she could do it, too.The look on her face as she pulled into the finish was priceless. She threw her arms around me and said, “You didn't quit, Mommy, so neither did I.”1. What motivated the author to finish her ride?A. Her family's encouragement.B. Her own instruction for children.C. The beautiful scenery and weather.D. The careful and thorough preparation.2. By describing the conditions Emalee met, the author wanted to________.A. show her guilt for her daughterB. prove that riding is a tough taskC. persuade her daughter to give upD. indicate she was proud of Emalee3. What does the author want to tell us according to the story?A. Never say die.B. Do nothing by halves.C. Children are what the mothers are.D. Every mother's child is handsome.BIt is essential that students have a category of school-related activities they can participate in. These activities can range from activities during normal school hours to after-school activities. No matter the time, these activities should be available to every student, and at Victory Pioneers International Schools (V.P.I.S) it is encouraged that every student participate in at least one activity, educational and recreational.One of the primary reasons school activities are important at V.P.I.S. is because it gives students the exercise they might not normally receive. Most popularly, these types of activities include major sports such as football, basketball, baseball, tennis, track and field and soccer but also might include gymnasium games and other games.Activities during V.P.I.S. also make a good impression on colleges if students are planning to pursue more education. Colleges look for students who do not just go to school and go home after school. These activities range from participating in clubs and sports to volunteering after school at a recreation center or having a part-time job. If a college sees you maintained good grades while participating in these activities, it will be impressed.V.P.I.S. activities also allow students to be creative. Gifted-and-talented activities allow gifted students to participate in what they otherwise would never have experienced in the classroom. They are a great way to allow students to be creative. Additionally, participating in clubs such as drama that appeal to students’ interest also allows them to expand their knowledge and be creative.Students also can have their interests expanded by participating in activities. These activities could consist of anything, such as joining the Future Business Leaders, the school’s debate team and the chess team, to name a few. By participating in these activities, a student might realize he is interested in something he never knew he was interested in before.4. What can we learn about activities at V.P.I.S.?A. Not every student has access to them.B. Students are required to take part in them after school.C. They give students exercise that might not be got in other schools.D. Educational activities are more popular with the students.5. What benefits can the students get from the activities?A. They can get extra grades when applying for colleges.B. They will become more gifted and talented .C. They may expand their knowledge in drama.D. They may better know their own interests.6. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?A. The Benefits of V.P.I.S. ActivitiesB. School-related Activities at V.P.I.S.C. Colleges Need Creative StudentsD. Activities Make You Creative7. Where is the passage probably from?A. A scientific magazine.B. A college application guideline.C. A club introduction.D. The website of V.P.I.S.CMost animals living in crowded conditions have particularly strong immune systems, so it long puzzled researchers that honeybees do not.Part of the answer, discovered in 2015, is that queen bees vaccinate their eggs by moving parts of proteins from disease-causing pathogens to them before they are laid. These act as antigens totriggerthe development of a protective immune response in the developing young. But that observation raises the question of how the queen receives her antigen supply in the first place? Dr. Harwood wondered if the nurse bees were taking in parts of pathogens and passing them to royal jelly they were producing while eating the food brought to the hive.To test this idea, he teamed up with a group at theUniversityofHelsinki, inFinland, led by Dr Heli Salmela. Together, they collected about 150 nurse bees and divided them among six queenless mini hives equipped with baby bees to look after. Instead of honey, they fed the nurses on sugar water, and for three of the hives they added P. larvae, a bacterium causing a hive-killing disease, to the sugar water.In this case, to stop such an infection happening, Dr Harwood and Dr Salmela heat-treated the pathogens and so killed them in advance. They also labelled the dead bacteria with a fluorescent dye, to track them easily. And, sure enough, it was confirmed that parts of P. larvae were getting into royal jelly released by those bees which had been fed with the sugar water containing that.All told, these findings suggest that nurse bees are indeed, through their royal jelly, passing antigens onto the queen for vaccinating her eggs. They also mean the nurses are vaccinating baby bees as well, because baby bees, too, receive royal jelly for the first few days after they come out.8. What does the underlined word “trigger" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Cut out.B. Set off.C. Slow down.D. Put off.9. Which is the main experimental subject in Paragraph 3?A. Queen bees.B. Nurse bees.C. Bee eggs.D. Baby bees.10. Why was P. larvae added to the sugar water?A. To test if it would cause a hive-killing disease.B. To check how the bacterium would affect the hive.C. To see whether the target bees would favor the taste.D. To confirm the bees would pass pathogens to royal jelly.11. What is the text mainly about?A. How bees multiply.B. How antigens function.C. How bees get vaccinated.D. How immune system works.DIn sportthe sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men.That at least is what people say.Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s time is always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first ‘Tartan’ in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!12. Women are called the weaker sex because _________.A. women do as much as menB. people think women are weaker than menC. sport is easier for men than for womenD. in sport the two sexes are always together13. Which of the following is true?A. Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B Women do not run or swim in races with men.C. Famous Prime Ministers are women.D. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.14. The underlined part “That at least is what people say” means people _________.A. say other things, tooB. don’t say this muchC. say this but may not think soD. only think this15. In this passage the author implies that _________.A. womenare weaker than men, but fasterB. women are slower than men, but strongerC. men are not always stronger and faster than womenD. men are faster and stronger than women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。

ATayka Hotel de SalWhere: Tahua, BoliviaHow much: About $ 95 a nightWhy it's cool: You've stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That's something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal i s made totally of salt-including the beds (though you'll sleep on regular mattresses and blankets). The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehisto ric dried-up lake which is the world's biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a pas te (糊) of wet salt that hardens when it dries.When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.Green Magic Nature ResortWhere: Vythiri, IndiaHow much: About $ 240 a nightWhy it's cool: Taking a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of yo ur adventure. As you look out of your open window-there is no glass! -you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy(罩篷). Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the h andmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit o n your bamboo bed and read. You don't even have to come d own for breakfast-the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”.Dog Bark Park Inn B&BWhere: Cottonwood, IdahoHow much: $ 92 a nightWhy it's cool: This doghouse isn't just for the family pet. Swee t Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly. Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side. You can rela x in the main bedroom, go up a few steps of the loft(阁楼) in Willy's head, or hang out inside his nose. Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters, there is also a to ilet in the 12-foot-tall fire hydrant(消防栓) outside.Gamirasu Cave HotelWhere: Ayvali, TurkeyHow much: Between $ 130 and $ 450 a nightWhy it's cool: This is caveman cool! Experience what it was lik e 5,000 years ago, when people lived in these mountain cave s formed by volcanic ash. But your stay will be much more mo dern. Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel, and the white volcanic ash, called tufa, keeps the rooms cool in summer. (Don't worry-there is heat in winter. )1.

Gamirasu Cave Hotel.BChicago is considering firm measures to prevent the Asian ca rp,a giant fish native to the Far East,from coming into North America’s Great Lakes in large numbe rs.Such a move could cost up to$18bn,a heavy economic burden to the city.This species,more than a metre in length,was originally introduced to southern US states three decades ago to control weeds in sewage(污水)treatment plants.But they escaped into the Mississippi Ri ver and increased in number quickly,making their way north towards the Great Lakes and threateni ng the native fish species along the way.“Dozens of them will often leap out of the water as boats appr oach.’’Michael Beecham,a local environmental expert,described how frightening the scene was.“I’ve gone down th e river and seen these fish jump up and hit me in the face.It i s a big problem for our native species.” he said.A meeting has been organized to find a technological solution to the carp problem,one of which involves blocking parts of Chicago’s canal syste m.Listening at the meeting was John Goss,who was worried about the effect that having barriers in the c anal system would have on industry.“It would certainly incre ase the cost of transportation,”he told.“It is currently very c heap and efficient to bring materials and finished goods down the Chicago ship canal.’’Another cheaper option is to eat the fish out of existence.Dir k Fucik is selling carp burger(鲤鱼汉堡包) at his fish shop not far from downtown Chicago.He think s the carps are a great resource.“To catch it and throw it aw ay is a waste,”he says.“Eating them helps solve the proble m and also provides jobs.”But the idea has not yet caught o n.So far,he is the only person in Chicago selling carp burgers. 4.From the passage we can see the Asian carp___________ ________.A.is very adaptable to the new environmentB.is originally used to control weeds in the Great Lakes C.is becoming a new food in restaurantsD.becomes even more fierce than before5.From John Goss’s point of view,the building of barriers __________________.A.can force the Asian carp out of the Great LakesB.may lead to the increasing cost of industrial products C.will help the canal system work more efficientlyD.will bring high profits to the related companies6.What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passa ge?A.The Americans have included the Asian carp in their food list.B.Dirk Fucik is a pioneer in selling carp burgers in Chicago .C.Catching Asian carps has created many jobs in America .D.Throwing away the caught fish is a waste of the resources .7.What’s the best title of the passage?A.The Great Lakes,new home for Asian CarpsB.The Asian carp escapes from the Great Lakes C.Possible ways to handle non-native speciesD.Chicago goes to war with Asian carpsCWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense o f humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps (处于沮丧中), as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my h eart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-workers, neighbors, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't k now the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always f ound humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest jo b anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any si tuation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling o n the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the jok e that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just s it there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keeping your stress levels under c ontrol. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of ps ychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us fro m going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present worl d. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass t he sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe o ur best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and ha ve some fun laughing together.8. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that _ ___________.A. it makes people more confidentB. it can pick up people’ s spiritsC. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the worldD. it can help people get on well with others9. The author answers the question in the second paragraph with ___________.A. facts and descriptionsB. evidence and argumentC. examples and conclusionD. stories and pe rsuasion10. The phrase "busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be r eplaced by __________.A. explaining carefullyB. speaking loudC. keeping silentD. laughing hard11. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to _____ _____.A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about lifeDAs a group of young African immigrants struggle to adapt to lif e in the United States, an after-school drama program at White Oak Middle School aims to m ake their lives easier by first making them a little harder. Project X is a program that uses drama, dance, poetry and ot her creative outlets to help students discuss the tough and so metimes painful problems they face as pre-teen immigrants with language barriers. A final unveiling of th eir creation will be performed for friends and family at the end of the year at Imagination Stage.Wanjiru Kamau, coordinator of White Oak’s African Club said it’s important to give troubles to group members to help them f ind their place at the school. “It comforts those who are unco mfortable, and it discomforts those who are comfortable,”Kam au said of Project X.Kamau teamed up with Imagination Stage after she noticed th at many African students seemed uncomfortable talking about problems, such as being laughed at by their fellow students a bout how they look and talk. When most of the kids join the cl ub, they speak little or no English, Kamau said. Each week, the club typically draws five to ten students who are originally fr om Africa for discussion sessions and the Project X program.“We are going to express ourselves through our words and ou r actions, and that’s powerful,” said teaching artist Meg Green as she introduced fill-in-the-blank poems the students wrote about their identities.One student, Frank Ketchouang, 13, wrote, “I am from the wo rld; I am love,” which drew oohs and aahs from the group. Ket chouang has been in the United States for less than a year, s aid Program Coordinator Chad Dike. When Ketchouang starte d attending Project X, he had been in the United States for tw o months and spoke no English. Now he’s one of the group’s most outgoing members and helps translate instructions from English to Creole for the group’s newest member, who is from Haiti.Many people will give up when there’s a language barrier, “bu t these students prove them wrong” Kamau said. “You do hav e something to give. You are important. When TV, media, etc. are bringing them down, this program is bringing them up.”12. Project X is intended for helping the young African immigr ants to_________.A. get over language barriersB. enrich after-school lifeC. overcome tough problemsD. become more creative13. How well the members learn in the Project X program is s hown by_________.A. their annual creative performancesB. their annual scores gained at schoolC. the comments of friends and familyD. the comments of the program teachers14.

It’s a project designed by White Oak Middle School.D. It’s operated once at the end of each year.15.

Dyslexia is a problem that restricts the ability to recognize words and connect sounds with letters when people read. People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves areas of the brain that process language. Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading to provide them with early help. John Gabrieli at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is leading the study of five-year-olds in about twenty schools in the Boston area.They studied in the schools with kindergartens .And the children joining in the study, they give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read. So far, fifty of them have been examined in a scanner, a special machine,for allto show brain activity. Written tests are not always able to identify dyslexia or otherproblems, while brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems.And with reading problems, early identification is important. When it comes tohelping children overcome reading difficulties, the younger the child, the moreeffective they are.Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourthgrade. The later children are recognized as poor readers treatment can help. And,as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can,the lessmake education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science have textbooks.While the children are given tasks related to reading, the brain scans measure the extent to which certain parts of the brain become active while the children do the work. The scientists say they are pleased with early results from the study, but have a long way to go.1. Dyslexia affects the part of brain concerning _______ .A. eyesightB. intelligenceC. languageD. emotion2.

Professional footballers have worryingly poor teeth that could be affecting their performance on the football ground, say dentists. Their study on players at eight clubs in England and Wales, in the British Journal o f Sports Medicine, showed nearly 4 out of 10 had cavities (蛀牙) and that athletes often had worse teeth than the general population. Regularly taking sugary foods is one possible explanation.The dentists, from the International Centre for Evidence-Based Oral Health at University College London, examined 187 players' sets of teeth. They found 53% had dental erosion (腐蚀), 45% were bothered by the state of theirteeth and 7% said it affected their ability to train or play. Around 40% had cavities, compared with 30% of people of a similar age in the general population.Prof Ian Needleman, one of the researchers, said: "These are individuals who otherwise invest so much in themselves so it ' s a su rprising finding."There are two main groups - some have a catastrophic effect, they have very serious disease that stops them in their tracks and they cannot play or train."There Il be others experiencing pain affecting sleep or sensitivity every time they take a drink. "At this level of athlete, even small differences can be quite telling.Nutrition is one of the primary suspects with having too many sugary or acidic foods during training potentially accounting for cavities and erosion. A lot of air in the mouth during exercise can also dry it out so there is less protection._______ While these findings are worrying, clubs are attaching greater importance to dental health and educating their players. According to Stijin Vandenbroucke, head of medicine and sports science at West Ham United, oral health is an area where many athletes have greater problems than the general population and there are clear benefits of oral disease prevention for athletes and clubs.1.What does the passage tell us about professional footballers teeth?A. Nearly 4 out of 10 players in the UK suffer from toothaches.B. They have been invested a great deal by individual players.C. Many players' poor teeth bother their career and daily life.D. British footballers teeth are examined regularly.2.What mainly results in professional footballers' poor teeth?A. Experiencing too much training.B. Eating food with too much sugar.C. Breathing in lots of air during exercise.D. Having little education of oral disease prevention.3.These findings are worrying clubs because __ .A. footballers aren ' t willing to give up sugary or acidic foodB. they've spent much on their players' oral disease preventionC. footballers have more serious tooth problems than the publicD. players' oral disease may lead to bad performance in games4.This passage is most probably taken from __ .A. a dentist's diaryB. a sports newspaperC. a medicine magazine ______________________________________D. ascience report二、七选五5.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。

Dense, black smoke was rising from behind the Sycamore Maple trccson the other side of the street and was enveloping three houses, making them barelyvisible. Nancy r s house was one ofthem.I tried to call out for my daughters hoping to see them run safely to my arms, butmy voice was also stuck ・ stuck in my throat with no intention of coming out.There I stood, helpless, paralyzed and silenced by fear, unable to protect the two littlegirls I loved more than even I had realized ・Although trapped in a body that couldn't move or speak, I could still hear. Icould hear other mothers anxiously calling their children. I could hear a frighteningsilenee that covered the neighborhood instead of the usual happy voices of children. And, finally, I could hear the alarm of the fire engine・ As the alarm announced/WeYe on our way,u it instantly dissolved the crazy glue that had held my feet to thcccmcnt and it unlocked the soundproof box that had silenced my voice. I was free tomake sure my daughters were safe・As I continued down the driveway, two little girls, my two little girls, ran towardme from across the street. They had come home to tell me about the fire in the garagenext to Nancy's house. Not only did my feet and voice work now, but my eyes werealso in good working order and had no trouble producing tears.24.Why was the author stuck to her driveway?A.She was too tired to move her legs.

D・ The fear for her daughters* safety struck he 匚25.What made the author able to move and speak again?A.Shouting from other anxious mothers. B・ Strange silence in the neighborhood.C. The alarm of the coming fire engine・D・ The courage to protect her daughters・26.What does the author suggest at the end of the stoiy?A.She burst into tears of relief and happiness・B. She was really thankful to see her girls saved.C. She was too excited to believe what she saw.D. She overcame her fear and fully recovered,27.What is the best title for the text?A. Love in FireB. Stopped in SilenceC. A Narrow EscapeD. The Price of FearcAt the entrance to one of the ruined temples of Petra in Jordan, there is aninscription (题字)in the soft red rock・ It looks as if it has been there for centuries・ Itcould have been carved by one of King Herod's soldiers, when they were imprisonedin the town in 40 BC・ But closer examination reveals that it is not so ancient after all.It reads: Shane and Wendy from Sydney were here. April 16th 1996,The ruins of Petra were discovered in 1810 by a Swiss explorer, and a recentreport has just concluded that 66they are in grave danger of being destroyed by theunstoppable march of tourism*1. More than 4,000 tourists a day pour into Petra's rockytombs. They wear away the soft red sandstoneto powder and (occasionally!) scratchtheir names into the rock.It is not just Petra that is under threat of destruction. With more than 60,000visitors to Venice each day, cruise ships that have made Venice tourists1topdestination bring one of the most significant dangers to the city, leading to tides thatare further damaging the foundation of the Venetian structures.The prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux in France were being slowly ruined bythe breath and bacteria from 200,000 visitors a year. The caves have now been closedto the public and a replica(复制品) has been built, Will there be more replicas like inLascaux? There already are. Heritage theme parks are springing up everywhere・ Manyof the great cities of Europe are finding that their historic centers arc fast bccomingthcmc parks, filled with clicking cameras and whirring camcorders, abandoned by alllocal residents except for the souvenir sellers.Until recently, we all believed that travel broadened the mind, but now manybelieve the exact opposite: "Modem travel narrows the mind”.28.What do we know about the ruins of Petra?A.There was an ancient inscription at the entrance.B.King Herod was kept there as a prisoner in 40 BC.C.They have been popular tourist attractions for over 200 years.D.Tourism is responsible for the damage being made to them.29.Which solution to Venice's problem would the author agree with?A.Make regulations to control tourists1 bchavio匚B.Reduce the number of cruise ships in the rivers-C.Build solid dams along the rivers in case of flood・D.Promote tourism and redecorate traditional structures.3(). What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?A.Cave paintings at Lascaux in France have been ruined・B.Replicas have to be made to protect cultural heritage,C.Many historic centers are too crowded with tourists.D.Theme parks keep historic places away from destruction.31.Whafs the author's attitude towards tourism?A. CriticalB. SupportivcC. ObjectiveD. UnclearDMany people hate wet, sticky August, but to some, its an especially bitter time. Anew working paper finds that, March and August are the months in which divorcefilings peak.For the paper, the University of Washington^ Brian Serafini and Julie Brinesanalyzed the most recent years of divorce filings in Washington and drew thcirconclusion: divorce rises sharply in March and August. The result is supported bysome nation-wide, anecdotal evidence. Online searches for "divorce" and M childcustody n(抚养权) dramatically grow early in the year, peaking in March, they pointout.The authors guess that unhappily married couples schedule their divorce filingsaround both the winter holidays and Valentine^ Day, as well as summer vacations.(More Americans vacation m July than any other month.)There are a few explanations why people might time their marital dissolutionsthis way, It might just be too difficult to announce a divorce around family-orientedChristmas time, especially if therearc kids involved, so many couples weigh thcdccision to divorce around the new year and progress from there. February is a periodin which couples tend to look around for representation on legal sites ・ And by March,theyYe prepared to file for divorce・But the authors think the more likely reason is that people decide their differencesare irreconcilable right after a big trip. It could be that people don't want to ruin afamily getaway, or that vacations arc so stressful that they drive thcalrcady-dissatisficd to divorce. (T told you to pack your suitcase last night; nowwe f ve missed the train!M)Then there's the ^broken promise” theory. "6People are discontent with theirmarriages, they look at vacation as an opportunity to give it one last shot, and whatthey were hoping would happen didn't occur^ explained Brines, an associateprofessor of sociology.It's not you; in other words, ifs your failure to print the boarding passes.32.Which of the following can support Brian and Julie's conclusion?A・ The divorce rate rises sharply in March and August.B.They carried out online surveys and analyzed the results・C.More people search for key words about divorce early in the year.D.Conflicts in marriage tend to get more serious during Christmas.33.According to Brian and Julie, why does divorce rise in March and August?A・ People need time to decide and prepare before they divorce.B.Many couples want to have a new beginning in a new year.C.Kids are less involved in winter and summer vacations・D.Couples see more marital problems in their vacation trips.34.What does the underlined word n irreconcilable M in paragraph 5 mean?A・ Unlikely to be settled・ B. Unable to be mentioned.C.Put aside for a while・D・ Stressed too much・35.What does the writer want to express in the last paragraph?A.It may lead to divorce if one doesn't print hoarding passes.B.Unimportant things like boarding passes cannot cause divorce・C・ Considering a trip as the solution to marital problems is not wise.D.Couples should talk about their marriage sincerely before a trip.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。

高三9月月考(英语)(考试总分:100 分)一、阅读理解(本题共计1小题,总分15分)1.(15分)Too much screen time for kids can lead to poor health the American Heart Association (AHA) says. A scientific statement published by the AHA in the medical journal Circulation said screen time from smart phones, tablet computers and other devices can lead kids to a sedentary(惯于久坐不动的) lifestyle ,increasing the possibility that they grow up as overweight or obese(肥胖的).The AHA is the latest organization urging parents to limit how much time their kids spend in front of screens. It recommends children get one to two hours of screen time each day. Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped, the use of smart phones and tablet computers has surged.“Although the mechanisms(机制) linking screen time to obesity are not entirely clear, there are real concerns that screens influence eating behaviors, mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen,” said Tracie Barnett, a researcher at the INRS-Institute Armand-Frappier Research Centre, in a statement.Barnett, one of the authors of the statement, also urges parents to keep screens out of kids’ bedrooms, raising the fear that too much screen time can affect sleep.Many studies have warned about the potential (潜在的) negative effects of too much screen time. Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University(SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness.Apple, who makes the iOS mobile platform, plans to introduce new tools to devices to help users cut back on screen time. As for iOS 12,iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices. Another company that makes the Android platform will introduce “digital well-being” tools such as screen time limits and a “wind down” (逐渐关闭) option to encourage users to put down their phones before bed.1. Which can replace the underlined word “surged” in paragraph 2?A. Increased suddenlyB. Decreased slowly.C. Stayed the same.D. Lost the balance.2. How do screens influence children’s eating behavior?A. By changing the time they eat.B. By changing their taste for food.C. By influencing how fast they eat.D. By influencing their feeling of fullness.3. What effect did too much screen time have in SDSU’ s study?A. It affected children’s sleep.B. It led to children’s obesity.C. It resulted in diet problems.D. It negatively influenced moods.4. What will Apple do to deal with the screen time problem?A. Reduce its products’ battery life.B. Provide a screen time feature.C. Introduce “digital well-being” tools.D. Add a “wind down” option to its products.5. What is the text type of the passage?A. Narration(记叙文)B. Argumentative Essay.(议论文)C. Expository Writing. (说明文)D. Practical Writing.二、完形填空(本题共计1小题,总分30分)2.(30分)Jason, our son, was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫).

An old farmer was driving his horses to the barn (牲口棚) when he heard a voice saying, “Excuse me, sir. May I sleep in your barn tonight?” It was from a young soldier called Jack. Quietly standing there, tired and cold, he was waiting for an answer. But the old farmer said rudely, “No, I don’t want anybody like you to stay in my barn. You had better go away.”Jack sadly turned away, wondering where he would go next. Suddenly he felt a light tap on his shoulder. It was the young boy who had been working for the old farmer. The boy said, “I know where you can get help. Just go down this road to the first little cabin you come to. There lives Mrs. Smith, who is very kind and is always willing to help those who need it.” Oh, what warmth filled Jack’s heart, “Thank you very much!” There was at least somebody who cared about him. He quickly reached the cabin and gently knocked on the door. The door opened and the lady inside said, “Good evening. Were you looking for me?”Jack answered, “Are you Mrs. S mith? I was told that you might offer a place to a homeless poor soldier for a night’s stay.” She said, “Sure! Do come in! You look as though you are nearly frozen.” Mrs. Smith shared her simple meal with Jack in the warm room. Then with a thankful heart , he went to sleep on a pile of clean hay Mrs. Smith had prepared for him.The next morning, the kind woman cooked him a warm breakfast. She also gave him a small sum of money to help him travel farther. As he left her house, he thanked her for her kindness, and she prayed for him.Ten years went by and no one remembered what had happened on that cold windy night except one person.Paragraph 1:One morning Mrs. Smith received a letter inviting her to come to London. _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ ________________Paragraph 2:Mrs. Smith's heart was filled with wonder and she burst into tears._________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________答案一、阅读理解(本题共计1小题,总分15分)1.(15分)1.

AIn my very first job with some archaeologists, I wasn’t digging objects out of the ground, instead I was employed as an artist, drawing what they found. However, I was soon more interested in the stories behind the objects than in drawing them and that’s how my career in archaeology started. I still draw what I find in my work as a specialist on the Silk Road, the old trade route running from Egypt to Mongolia, and I also work on some underwater projects too.In archaeology, my all-time hero is an American called Raphael Pumpelly. I first heard about him when I was a student on a trip to Turkmenistan, a country right in the heart of Asia. To get around the country,I had to learn Russian so that I could speak to the local people. When I got there I thought, “Wow! I’m one of the first Americans here!” Then an old man told me about an American archaeologist, Raphael Pumpelly, who was there doing the same thing over 100 years ago.Archaeology’s in my family. My wife’s in the same profession, and, although our two boys aren’t interested in the future in archaeology themselves, we’ve been on some great digs together and they love what we do because they get to travel with us. Last summer, we took them to Lake Titicaca in South America, in the high areas of the Andes mountain range. My best experience was when I was digging on the Egyptian Red Sea coast. There’s very little rain and it’s so dry that everything is kept as it was. In an old house, where the owner used to store goods from the ships that came in, I picked up a 700-year-old mat in front of the house and there, under it, after all that time, was the house key with the owner’s name carved on it. It felt like he could be on his way home any minute! And I thought, “Hey, I do just that. This man’s not much different to me!”21. While working in Egypt, what did the writer find so interesting?A. That people from different centuries can be so similar.B. The fact that the doormat was in such good condition.C. The way the people managed to live in such a dry place.D. That there had been so much trade in that area.22. Which entry will the writer probably make in his diary?A. Turkmenistan is interesting. I’m the first American to come here but I’m glad this is my last trip away.B. I have been diving today and found some objects for an exhibition. I’ve just finished drawing them for my records.C. I wish my children weren’t more interested in archaeology and would not work hard in the open like their parents.D. It’s nearly dark but Raphael’s still busy digging in that old house. He can be very annoying. He thinks he’s the most important person here.23. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the text?A. To describe the life of an archaeologist he admires.B. To persuade people to take up archaeology as a career.C. To explain what he enjoys about being an archaeologist.D. To show how archaeologists work.BOne ambitious high school student knew exactly how to show his family that he got accepted into his dream college—by surprising them on Christmas Day.Barrington Lincoln, class president at Lutheran High School North in Ferguson, got accepted into Morehouse College in Atlanta back on Dec. 15. But for months, he knew he wanted to make the news known in a big way to his mother and aunt, Lincoln told ABC News. “I thought of the surprise in October,” he said, adding that once he got accepted he would purchase two school T-shirts from Morehouse’s online store.On Christmas Day, in a now video on Twitter, Lincoln, 17, gifted his mom Lisa McDonald and his aunt Shirley Gray the T-shirts with the school’s name on it. When the two siste rs opened the gifts, they had no idea what they meant.In the video, Lincoln nudges (用肘轻推) his family, “You know what that means right? I got in!” While McDonald falls heavily on the couch in delight, Gray asks, “You’ve been holding out on us?”“I didn’t expect anything like that,” McDonald told ABC News. “It’s so satisfying to see him get the return on his studying.” “He always wanted to be the first in line and help everybody stay in line,” his mother added.McDonald said it’s especially sweet since she h ad to work an extra job to afford his private school after his father, a former Marine, passed away in 2015. Lincoln was only 15.“All kids need to have quality education,” the mother added. “I am putting an investment (投资) in his future.”24. What did Lincoln choose two T-shirts for his mother and aunt mainly for?A. To show he loves them forever.B. To give them a Christmas gift.C. To tell them his academic success.D. To show he had grown up already.25. How did Lincoln’s mother and aunt feel when they saw his presents?A. Puzzled.B. Satisfied.C. Disappointed.D. Embarrassed.26. Which of the following can replace the underlined sentence “You’ve been holding out on us”?A. You’ve been telling a lie to the two of us.B. You’ve been longing to tell us the truth.C. You’ve been playing a joke with two of us.D. You’ve been keeping it a secret from us.27. What can we infer from the text?A. Lincoln’s parents could hardly afford his education.B. Lincoln’s mother felt her efforts paid off at last.C. Lincoln bought the T-shirts in the local supermarket.D. The video had been popular before December 15.CWhat do you usually do when you have some free time? Do you take part in any form of hobby? If your answer is no, then you should think twice. Experiencing some type of interest or hobby might be the ideal way to develop your brain and improve your creative thinking.Here is a common problem that many older people have. They have spent such a great deal of time raising their family that once their children are grown and left home, they all of a sudden start to experience their age. Quite often, it is not their age that is the concern. It is the fact that they are unexpectedly offered more time on their hands.When you put in too much time not doing anything, this can affect your brain. This is just where the expression “If you don’t use it, you lose it” definitely is the truth. Your mind needs working out much like any other muscle in your body. This is why getting a hobby matters. It offers you something to do and is a perfect way to meet new people.Enjoying a hobby is also a perfect way to improve creative thinking at any age. Even young children can profit from taking a new hobby. For retired people, enjoying a hobby which they can find entertainment in with their grandchildren will help keep them active and feeling young at heart.Several hobbies that are terrific for both your mind and you body include yoga, biking, swimming andgolf. If you aren’t fond of sports, even taking a walk regularly is a wonderf ul way to keep active. It helps you to appreciate fresh scenery and it has been suggested that the colors green and blue help make you more creative.As you can see above, you can get pretty much from taking a hobby. With so many choices waiting for you, begin your journey right away!28. What can be implied about many older people from Paragraph 2?A. They lock creative thinking.B. They should develop their brain.C. They concern about their age.D. They used to have little free time.29. Why does getting a hobby matter according to the text?A. It strengthens one’s brain.B. It helps build up one’s muscle.C. It enables one to make friends.D. It improves one’s living conditions.30. What does the underlined word “terrific” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Specific.B. Disgusting.C. Wonderful.D. Fundamental.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Trying different hobbiesB. Spending your free timeC. Experiencing your hobby nowD. Feeling young at heartDThe world’s first “Sky Pool” has been uncoated(曝光)-and it’ll give anyone a touch of dizziness (眩晕), unless he or she is not bothered by heights.Situated in the capital’s new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station, the glass pool, hanging 10 storeys, or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings, is 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1. 2m. Swimmers will be able to look down 35 meters to the street below as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between them and the ou tside world. It’s even got a bar, folding chairs and anorange garden.The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms, a huge£15 billion building project beside the new American Embassy in south-west London. The project is creating thousands of apartments, the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $1 million, and the pool will only be open to the apartments’ owners.Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages. The designer, Sean Mulryan, desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before. The Sky Pool’s transparent structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade.The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in central London.Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a perfect view of the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye. It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is released to market.32. Who can swim in the Sky Pool?A. Anyone at Nine Elms.B. Visitors to London.C. People living in Embassy Gardens.D. Those who are not terrified of heights.33. People lucky enough to swim in the Sky Pool can do the following except .A. drinking with friendsB. experiencing diving and surfingC. appreciating the London EyeD. sitting in the orange garden34. What do we know from the text?A. The pool lies in the centre of London.B. The pool is 25 metres above the ground.C. The pool was similar to New York’s modern constructions.D. The pool is helpful for selling apartments in Embassy Gardens.35. We can infer from the text that ________ .A. the apartments in Embassy Gardens are fairly expensiveB. the new American Embassy has been moved awayC. Nine Elms is a street in Embassy GardensD. building the pool is not a complex job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。

The realization that my daughters were playing in Nancy's house, just one-half block away, paralyzed (麻痹)my legs, making me unable to move when I neared the end of our driveway. Dense, black smoke was rising from behind the Sycamore Maple trees on the other side of the street and was enveloping three houses, making them barely visible. Nancy's house was one of them.I tried to call out for my daughters hoping to see them run safely to my arms, but my voice was also stuck - stuck in my throat with no intention of coming out. There I stood, helpless, paralyzed and silenced by fear, unable to protect the two little girls I loved more than even I had realized.Although trapped in a body that couldn't move or speak, I could still hear. I could hear other mothers anxiously calling their children. I could hear a frightening silence that covered the neighborhood instead of the usual happy voices of children. And, finally, I could hear the alarm of the fire engine. As the alarm announced, "We're on our way," it instantly dissolved the crazy glue that had held my feet to the cement and it unlocked the soundproof box that had silenced my voice. I was free to make sure my daughters were safe.As I continued down the driveway, two little girls, my two little girls, ran toward me from across the street. They had come home to tell me about the fire in the garage next to Nancy's house. Not only did my feet and voice work now, but my eyes were also in good working order and had no trouble producing tears.24.Why was the author stuck to her driveway?A. She was too tired to move her legs.B. Thick black smoke blocked her view.C. The cement on the driveway was still wet.D. The fear for her daughters' safety struck her.25.What made the author able to move and speak again?·3·A. Shouting from other anxious mothers.B. Strange silence in the neighborhood.C. The alarm of the coming fire engine.D. The courage to protect her daughters.26.What does the author suggest at the end of the story?A. She burst into tears of relief and happiness.B. She was really thankful to see her girls saved.C. She was too excited to believe what she saw.D. She overcame her fear and fully recovered,27.What is the best title for the text?A. Love in FireB. Stopped in SilenceC. A Narrow EscapeD. The Price of FearCAt the entrance to one of the ruined temples of Petra in Jordan, there is an inscription (题字)in the soft red rock. It looks as if it has been there for centuries. It could have been carved by one of King Herod's soldiers, when they were imprisoned in the town in 40 BC. But closer examination reveals that it is not so ancient after all. It reads: Shane and Wendy from Sydney were here. April 16th 1996,The ruins of Petra were discovered in 1810 by a Swiss explorer, and a recent report has just concluded that66they are in grave danger of being destroyed by the unstoppable march of tourism". More than 4,000 tourists a day pour into Petra's rocky tombs. They wear away the soft red sandstone to powder and (occasionally!) scratch their names into the rock.It is not just Petra that is under threat of destruction. With more than 60,000 visitors to Venice each day, cruise ships that have made Venice tourists' top destination bring one of the most significant dangers to the city, leading to tides that are further damaging the foundation of the Venetian structures.The prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux in France were being slowly ruined by the breath and bacteria from 200,000 visitors a year. The caves have now been closed to the public and a replica(复制品)has been built, Will there be more replicas like in Lascaux? There already are. Heritage theme parks are springing up everywhere. Many of the great cities of Europe are finding that their historic centers are fast becoming theme parks, filled with clicking cameras and whirring camcorders, abandoned by all local residents except for the souvenir sellers.Until recently, we all believed that travel broadened the mind, but now many believe the exact opposite: "Modem travel narrows the mind".28.What do we know about the ruins of Petra?A. There was an ancient inscription at the entrance.B.King Herod was kept there as a prisoner in 40 BC.C.They have been popular tourist attractions for over 200 years.D.Tourism is responsible for the damage being made to them.29.Which solution to Venice's problem would the author agree with?A. Make regulations to control tourists' behavior.B.Reduce the number of cruise ships in the rivers.C.Build solid dams along the rivers in case of flood.D.Promote tourism and redecorate traditional structures.30.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?A. Cave paintings at Lascaux in France have been ruined.B.Replicas have to be made to protect cultural heritage,C.Many historic centers are too crowded with tourists.·4·D.Theme parks keep historic places away from destruction.31.What's the author's attitude towards tourism?A. CriticalB. SupportiveC. ObjectiveD. UnclearDMany people hate wet, sticky August, but to some, it's an especially bitter time. A new working paper findsthat, March and August are the months in which divorce filings peak.For the paper, the University of Washington's Brian Serafini and Julie Brines analyzed the most recent years of divorce filings in Washington and drew their conclusion: divorce rises sharply in March and August. The result is supported by some nation-wide, anecdotal evidence. Online searches for "divorce" and "child custody" (抚养权) dramatically grow early in the year, peaking in March, they point out.The authors guess that unhappily married couples schedule their divorce filings around both the winter holidays and Valentine's Day, as well as summer vacations. (More Americans vacation m July than any other month.) There are a few explanations why people might time their marital dissolutions this way, It might just be too difficult to announce a divorce around family-oriented Christmas time, especially if there are kids involved, so many couples weigh the decision to divorce around the new year and progress from there. February is a period in which couples tend to look around for representation on legal sites. And by March, they're prepared to file for divorce.But the authors think the more likely reason is that people decide their differences are irreconcilable right after a big trip. It could be that people don't want to ruin a family getaway, or that vacations are so stressful that they drive the already-dissatisfied to divorce. ("I told you to pack your suitcase last night; now we've missed the train!") Then there's the "broken promise" theory. “6People are discontent with their marriages, they look at vacation as an opportunity to give it one last shot, and what they were hoping would happen didn't occur, ”explained Brines, an associate professor of sociology.It's not you; in other words, it's your failure to print the boarding passes.32.Which of the following can support Brian and Julie's conclusion?A. The divorce rate rises sharply in March and August.B.They carried out online surveys and analyzed the results.C.More people search for key words about divorce early in the year.D.Conflicts in marriage tend to get more serious during Christmas.33.According to Brian and Julie, why does divorce rise in March and August?A. People need time to decide and prepare before they divorce.B.Many couples want to have a new beginning in a new year.C.Kids are less involved in winter and summer vacations.D.Couples see more marital problems in their vacation trips.34.What does the underlined word "irreconcilable" in paragraph 5 mean?A. Unlikely to be settled.B. Unable to be mentioned.C. Put aside for a while.D. Stressed too much.35.What does the writer want to express in the last paragraph?A. It may lead to divorce if one doesn't print 'boarding passes.B.Unimportant things like boarding passes cannot cause divorce.·5·C.Considering a trip as the solution to marital problems is not wise.D.Couples should talk about their marriage sincerely before a trip. 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。
