黑龙江省哈尔滨市第一六二中学2022-2023学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题及答案
哈162中学2022—2023第一学期高三月考试题（英语）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AThe Best Books of 2020On Monday, the American Library Association announced the top children’s books of 2020. Here are the winners.DevotionAuthor Clare Vanderpool took home the John Newbery Medal for outstanding contribution to children’s literature for Moon over Manifest. The book is about a young girl’s magical adventures in a small Kansas town, in 1936.Vanderpool said that she was shocked to learn that she had won. “You grow up reading legendary authors like Madeleine L’Engle, but I never expected to be put in a category with her,” Vanderpool told TFK. “It’s fabulous.”Picture ThisThe picture book A Sick Day for Amos McGee won the Randolph Caldecott Medal. The book was illustrated by Erin E. Stead and written by her husband, Philip C. Stead. It tells the story of an elderly zookeeper and the animals that visit him when he’s not well enough to go to work.“I love drawing animals and I love drawing people and I love drawing the emotional connection between animals and people,” said Stead.More Honored BooksThe Coretta Scott King award, given to an African-American author and illustrator of “outstanding books for children and young adults,” went to Rita Williams-Garcia for One Crazy Summer. Set in 1968, the novel follows three sisters from Brooklyn, New York, who visit their mother, a poet who ran away years ago and lives in California.The king prize for best-illustrated work went to Dave the Potter: Artist, Poet, Slave. The book, which was written by Laban Carrick Hill and illustrated by Bryan Collier, tells the story of a skilled potter who engraved his poems on the clay pots and jars that he made. The enslaved potter, known only as Dave, lived in South Carolina in the 1800s.1.How did Vanderpool feel when she heard the news that she won the medal?A. Astonished.B. Disappointed.C. Embarrassed.D. Depressed.2.Who illustrated the book Dave the Potter: Artist, Poet, Slave?A. Bryan Collier.B. Erin E. Stead.C. Laban Carrick Hill.D. Madeleine L’Engle.3.What can we infer from the passage?A. The book Moon over Manifest tells a story of a zookeeper and his animals.B. A Sick Day for Amos McGee shows us that animals can interact with humans.C. The book A Sick Day for Amos McGee is written by Erin, a famous woman writer.D. One Crazy Summer is about a mother with her three children having a holiday in California. BI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” (风格)of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑的)in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop. ”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here. ’’You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?”They don’t know.It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, Sorry, I have no idea. But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that “I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!4.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually .A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places5.Which is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Los Angeles.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.6.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer_____.A. in order to save timeB. as a testC. so as to be politeD. for fun7.what can we infer from the text?A. It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors. CWith the largest population in the world, China has the most mouths to feed on the planet. Consequently, food waste is a great problem in China. It is reported that more than 6% — or 35 million kgs — of the country's total food production is lost before reaching consumers, in the household and warehouse storage, transport and processing sectors. With an ever-growing population, it's imperative to deal with food waste in China.Thankfully, policies covering food waste have been rapidly emerging in recent years. Since 2010, the Chinese government has selected 100 cities and encouraged them to explore alternative waste management systems. In 2016,China amended(修改) its Solid Waste Law to stop illegal dumping(倾倒) and promote recycling and reuse of waste, including food. Restaurants will soon be charged a fee for the amount of food waste they produce. And China is using a good food waste processing method called anaerobic digestion, a process that transforms organic waste into biogas, which can be used as energy, or turned into biofuel.Moving forward, policymakers should consider loss and waste reduction to be as important as increasing production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the current policy system of agricultural subsidisation(补贴) mainly includes price guarantees and subsidies for crops, production materials, seeds and agricultural machinery, which leads to local governments focusing on crop production while paying little attention to the wastage in the supply chain. There should also be increased investment in the construction of new warehouses and special funds for storage, transport, and processing technologies.If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitting(排放) country in the world, generating about 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions. This issue is not location-specific, but an issue that affects every living thing on the planet and should therefore be seen as an essential area to take action in.8.What does the underlined word “imperative” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Impractical.B. Hopeful.C. Costly.D. Urgent9.What can we say about the anaerobic digestion method?A. It has been widely used in restaurants.B. It is required by the Solid Waste Law.C. It is eco-friendly to reuse food waste.D. It has proved effective in 100 cities.10.What is a result of the current agricultural subsidisation policy?A. Food waste in the supply chain is ignored.B. Prices of production materials go up.C. Investment in the supply chain increases.D. Food waste during crop production gets serious.11.What is the main purpose of the text?A. To promote the idea of recycling food waste.B. To call for action against food waste.C. To assess the consequences of food waste.D. To discuss the reasons behind food waste.DScientists have created a new app designed to identify dangerous mosquitoes based on sounds the insects make. The app, called Abuzz, is aimed at helping fight major diseases spread by mosquitoes.Haripriya Vaidehi Narayanan is one of the researchers who helped develop the app. Narayanan told VOA that anyone with a mobile phone could use the app to identify mosquitoes. "If they see a mosquito around, they just take out their phone, open up the app, point their phone towards the mosquito and hit the record button," she said. "Then, when the mosquito flaps its wings and starts flying around, it makes that noise, that annoying buzzing noise. That noise is what gets recorded by the Abuzz app." she added.Many diseases that mosquitoes carry do not have cures or vaccines(疫苗). So, targeting the flying insects is the best way to control them. "The most important step is to know where the mosquitoes are," Narayanan said.Traditional methods for hunting mosquitoes are costly and can take a very long time. The process also requires labor-intensive trapping as well as trained scientists to identify the insects.Manu Prakash is a professor of bioengineering at Stanford University and a lead investigator on the project. He says that out of about 3,500 different mosquito species, only about 40 are dangerous to humans. Prakash says the goal of the project was to find out whether the mosquitoes around a person's house are just an annoyance, or whether they are possibly dangerous.When mosquitoes move their wings up and down, they produce buzzing sounds. But each kind of mosquito makes a slightly different buzzing noise. The app records these sounds. Users of the app can get an answer by recording as little as one or two seconds of the buzzing sound. The app compares this recording to a collection of other recordings. It then predicts which species of mosquito it is most likely to be.By making use of mosquito information worldwide, the app can help build maps of where dangerous mosquitoes are. This can help scientists and health officials identify areas where disease is likely to break out and where to target mosquito control.12.Why is it important to locate mosquitoes?A. Because they are very small and hard to find.B. Because diseases carried by them are a big problem.C. Because mosquitoes flap their wings very quickly.D. Because the buzzing noise of mosquitoes is annoying.13.What will Abuzz do after it records the sound of a mosquito?A. Compare it to a database and identify its species.B. Make a somewhat different buzzing noise.C. Release some chemicals to kill the mosquito.D. Draw a map of the place where the mosquito was.14.In which way could Abuzz help people?A. It can help people control the number of mosquitoes.B. It can help people avoid some species of mosquitoes.C. It can help predict where mosquito-carried diseases are most likely to occur.D. It can help record the mosquito hiding places very quickly.15.What is the best title for the passage?A. The Different Species of Mosquitoes in the WorldB. New Ways to Fight Disease Caused by MosquitoesC. How to Identify Sounds Made by Different MosquitoesD. A New App That Can Identify Dangerous Mosquitoes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。

AWhat is identity theft?Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information to take over your credit accounts, open new ones, access bank accounts, or commit many other crimes in your name and at your expense. When it strikes, the effects can be disastrous. What's more, because it frequently involves no physical theft, identity theft may not be noticed by its victims until significant damage has already been done-often several months and thousands of pounds later. It's estimated that more than 100,000 people are affected by identity theft in the UK each year, costing the British economy over £1.3 billion annually.How does it happen?These are some of the ways crooks get hold of your personal information:• Fake emailsYou may receive an email seemingly from, say，your bank requesting that you follow a link and key information into a website that looks very similar to your bank's own site but is in fact a fake.• Pretext p hone callsA crook pretending to be an official from, for example, your bank may phone up asking you to give personal or account details as a security check.• Dishones t peopleSometimes sales assistants, unbeknown (不知情的) to you, swipe your card through a machine which records its details. At the workplace, a fellow employee can use your personal details fraudulently.How can you protect yourself?Be careful who you give your personal details to, and tear up documents like credit-card slips before you throw them away. Don't make this serious crime easy for crooks!1.What do we know about identity theft according to the passage?A. It is a frequent physical theft.B. It is only committed by strangers.C. It is costly to individuals and society.D. It is easy to be noticed by victims.2.Identity theft may happen when _______.A. you receive an email from your bank.B. you give personal details to a fake websiteC. you are requested to pay in cash by sales assistantsD. you tear bank documents before throwing them away3. What is the text?A.A financial survey.B.A history paper.C.A book review.D.A security report.BReal financial security and freedom is not in our job but in our passion. It's easy to define and evaluate a man by his pursuit. Joseph Campbell once said, “Follow your dream and the universe will open doors where there are only walls."In life, we'll always be found doing any of these two things: either making a living or making a difference. Pensions （养老金）and salaries stop many from pursuing excellence while passion unlocks hidden potentials that equip us for challenges and opportunities. A job helps us make a living while passion enables us to make a difference.I want to sincerely help to adjust and clarify the misguided belief among workers that a job is a means of livelihood. Rather, it should be a means to fuel our passion. The earlier you realize thi s basic truth of life, the more clearly you’11 be able to position yourself in living a life of impact and value.The success of Kentucky Fried Chicken（KFC）shows how meaningful it is to pursue your passion instead of your pension. Its founder, Colonel Harland Sanders, didn't realize this until he was given his first social security check of 105 dollars. But he decided that there surely was something to do for himself and other people instead of living on that small pension. He was determined to engage himself in what brought him impact and value. Drawing inspiration from his mother's special recipe for fried chicken, he invented “finger-licking" seasoning with eleven spices and herbs. Despite much rejection, he managed to round up some investors and promote company's rapid expansion to more than 6,000 locations. Sanders’ life pointed towards two facts about making a difference: one, there is no age that is too old to make a difference; two, there is nothing too small or insignificant to make a difference with, as long as it is your passion.4.How does the author support his argument in paragraph 2?A.By listing examples.B.By including a quote.C.By showing contrast.D.By sharing his experience.5.How did Sanders probably feel when offered his first social security check?A. Deeply moved.B. Internally motivatedC. Greatly relieved.D. Pleasantly surprised6.What does the author intend to do ?A.Give career guidance.B.Advise us to pursue our passion.C.Persuade us to get a well-paid job.D.Secure our position.7.What is the best title for this text?A.Following Your DreamsB.Working for PensionC.To Work or not to Work?D.Passion or Pension?COn July 14, 2017, Maryam Mirzakhani, Stanford professor of mathematics and the first female winner of the Fields Medal in Mathematics, died at the age of 40.The news was especially hard-hitting for a generation of younger academics who have always held Maryam as a role model whose example is helping redefine women's status in science and especially mathematics. What was fun was that Maryam always tried to avoid the media's spotlight. Her modesty (谦虚) and simplicity despite being the first woman to gain such high status in the world of mathematics—winning what's often called the "Nobel Prize of math"—stood out to those who knew her.Maryam originally wanted to be a writer, a passion of hers that never faded away even during her postgraduate studies. However, she found an even greater joy in how rewarding it felt to solve mathematical problems. As a student, she was the first female member of Iran's national team to participate in the International Math Olympiad (IMO), and she won two gold medals in two years—still a record.She received her bachelor's degree in Iran and later studied at Harvard. In 2014, Maryam was recognized with the Fields Medal, the highest-ranking award in mathematics. Her work focused on curved surfaces like spheres (球体). Her achievements have applications in other scientific fields including engineering and material science. Unfortunately, at that time she was already tackling the breast cancer.Maryam's legend（传奇）may continue to grow after her early death. Still only 20 percent of full-time math teachers at U.S. universities are women. The example of a woman who rose to the top of this still very male field may help inspire math's next generation.In the same way people think of Marie Curie or Jane Goodall as scientific pioneers, Maryam Mirzakhani will go down in history as a trailblazer as well as a mathematical genius.8.What makes Maryam internationally recognized?A.Her unfading passion for writing.B.Fighting against sexual discrimination.ing under the media's spotlight frequently.D.Being the first female Fields Medal winner.9.What's Maryam's attitude towards fame?A. Resistant.B. Realistic.C. Enthusiastic.D. Doubtful.10.What can we know about Maryam?A.She got her bachelor's degree at Harvard.B.She won gold medals for Iran in IMO.C.She applied mathematics to material science.D.She instructed some female students to reach the top.11.What does the underlined word "trailblazer" mean in the last paragraph?A. Talent.B. Model.C. Pioneer.D. Follower.DIt has been known for some time that children are able to learn at breathtaking speed. But how does it work? That’s what researchers have now found out. Using an artificial intelligence tool and an eye-tracker that tracks the movements of a baby’s eye, scientists from the Thunders Research Institute for Brain, Cognition (认知) and Behavior investigated one of children’s greatest mysteries and came to a surprising conclusion.It may seem very different, but babies are certainly not lying around randomly. “Babies don’t explore the world by chance, with their eyes falling on it. Babies have a strategy if they want to understand the world. First, they look for those pieces of information that allow them to understand other information faster and more efficiently. On the contrary, if they see an object or event from which they can learn nothing further, they simply reject it. Only the information useful to them, they select,” says Dr Francesco Poli.That sounds easier, even for a baby, than done. Because how does a baby know what is important and what is not?“Let’s take a good example: learning to talk. What we see as always is that babies who are about to say their first word begin to investigate a few weeks before how to use their mouths to talk. Instead of looking at the eyes in faces, they study carefully for weeks the mouths of the people who talk to them. So they are in a constant state of maximum learning capacity!”“Babies build their knowledge. They are like little scientists who like to see their idea challenged. For example, they learn very quickly that objects fall down and don’t just disappear. And this is why they love bubbles (泡沫) so much: they do float up and then disappear!”12.What is the surprising conclusion about children?A.They are breathtakingly fast learners.B.They possess exceptional intelligence.C.They explore the world purposefully.D.They are attracted to all information.13.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Studying further.B.Observing the world.C.Learning strategically.D.Understanding information.14.Why can bubbles fascinate babies greatly?A.They challenge babies’ existing cognition.B.They prove what babies have just learned.C.They make little scientists’ life colorful.D.They float up quickly and don’t just disappear.15.Which word can best describe baby learners according to the author?A. Consistent and persistent.B. Observant and capable.C. Confident and optimistic.D. Dynamic and responsible.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。

AThe Horizontal Oak: A life in NatureBy Poly Pullar,Growing up in a remote region of the Scottish Highlands, Polly Pullar’s childhood was pleasant, simple, and peaceful. But the wild beauty formed a backdrop to a series of major family tragedies. This is the story of how she rebuilt her life from the ground up, supported by the natural world around herWildlife WalksBy Charlotte Varela,Bloomsbury,￡16.99Take a walk through the Wildlife Trusts' nature reserves with this handy guide that showcases some of our nation’s best forests, moors, woodlands and coastal locations. Each walk includes a description of the site, instructions on how to get there, available facilities and the route’s walking time.Where the Seals SingBy Susan Richardson,William Collins, ￡20Having long been fascinated by seals, Susan Richardson sets out to follow their pupping season (繁殖季). As she journeys from Cornwall to Norfolk, she learns more about these mystical creatures, while sharing personal stories about the comforting role they have played during times of grief or anxiety in her own life.In the Name of PlantsBy Sandra Knapp,University of Chicago Press, ￡20Botanist Sandra Knapp digs into the stories behind plant names, exploring the people who have been immortalized (使永生), from Benjamin Franklin to Lady Gaga. The 30 plants inside are accompanied by botanical drawings from the Natural History Museum.1．Which of the books does not involve a story?A．The Horizontal Oak: A Life in Nature B．Wildlife WalksC．Where the Seals Sing D．In the Name of Plants2．What can be inferred from the text?A．There are probably plants named after Lady Gaga.B．Susan Richardson introduces seals’ life in her book.C．Polly Pullar offers readers a tourist guide of Scottish Highlands.D. You can read Charlotte Varela’s book if you want to visit nature reserves by car.3．Where can we most probably read the text？A．A geographic textbook. B．A travel brochure.C．A magazine on wildlife. D．A website about plants.BIt was June 14 and the last day of middle school had arrived.I had spent the past couple of months trashing and treasuring all the things that I hadaccumulated in my classroom over the past 19 years. Looking into my classroom, you can see about two dozen boxes and bins inside, piled nearly three-quarters high to the ceiling, all packed and ready for the big move. The 22-million-dollar restoration work was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go.My parents Michael and Donna, wife Laura and newborn baby Summer had arrivedthat day. The students had heard so much about my daughter and were excited to meet her for the first time. My mother was there to help organize my classroom nearly 19 years ago and hadn’t seen it since. My father had visited on a few occasions, as had my wife. That day marked not only the end of an era for me, but the dawning of a new beginning.The day before, I had thrown a party for my students. The feelings were mixed, as Iknew that this would be the farewell (告别) party in my classroom of 19 years and the last time I would see all of these students together. I thought back to when they were all in middle school and would visit me in my classroom on my birthday. They made it an annual tradition. I will treasure these moments for the rest of my life.Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe (敌人), a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk. I’ve learned over the years in working with over 2, 000 children that looking atthings from an optimistic perspective and taking the time to foster relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place. No matter what a person’s life circumstances may be, you can be the change in their life that will bring them a sense of self-worth, which will ultimately provide them with the opportunity to become who they are meant to be. They might go on to change the world.4．Why did the author pack his things in the classroom?A．He was doing a cleaning.B．He would quit his job as a teacher.C．The classroom would soon be restored.D．His students were graduating from middle school.5．Why are the writer’s family members mentioned in paragraph 3? .A．To explain the family’s relations with his students. B．To demonstrate the family’s involvement in his job.C．To list the family’s contribution to the classroom.D．To show the family’s expectations for a new beginning.6．What does the writer intend to convey in the last paragraph?A．Think of the end in every beginning.B．Change happens for better or for worse.C．It is no good feeling attached to a place.D．A positive attitude brings forth good changes.7．What’s the tone of the writer in writing the article?A．Bittersweet. B．Sad. C．Excited. D．Unconcemed.COne of the many aspects of “normal” life that SARS-CoV-2 took away was the enjoyment of live musical performances. With the easing of lockdowns and restrictions in many parts of the world, performers can entertain audiences once again, but concerns about spreading the virus remain. Now, a research reported in ACS Environmental Au have studied aerosol (悬浮颗粒) production from playing wind instruments, singing and acting, allowing them to develop recommendations to minimize COVID transmission.Early in the pandemic, COVID-19 outbreaks from choir performances indicated that singing carries a potential infection risk, but less is known about the risks of airborne infection from wind instruments. To help keep performers, audiences and music studentssafe, Tehya Stockman, Shelly Miller and colleagues wanted to examine aerosol production and flow in the air from various musical activities, as well as test different solutions.The researchers examined the extent and speed of air circulation, or small drops of substances, coming from singers’ and actors’ mouths and from wind instruments, such as the flute, clarinet (单簧管), trumpet and saxophone. They also measured airborne aerosols and carbon dioxide levels exhaled from the performers. They found that aerosol concentrations coming from the bell of a clarinet were comparable to singing. Placing a surgical mask over a singer’s face or over the clarinet bell sharply reduced the extent and speed of air circulation and decreased aerosol concentrations in front of the masks. The team then used these measurements to model virus transmission in indoor and outdoor environments, finding that the lowest risk of airborne COVID-19 infection occurred at less than 30 minutes of exposure indoors and less than 60 minutes outdoors. These findings could help musical rehearsals and performances continue in a safer manner for musicians and audiences, the researchers say.8．What is the purpose of the research?A．To remove lockdowns and restrictions.B．To promote live musical performances.C．To find ways to reduce spread of the virus.D．To reduce aerosol production from instruments.9．What have the researchers done to keep people safe?A．They have increased air flow from various musical activities.B．They have indicated that singing carries a possible infection risk.C．They have tried to measure the risk of infection from instruments.D．They have found out approaches to preventing aerosol production. 10．What does the underlined word “exhale” mean in Paragraph 3?A．breath out B．give away C．take in D．test out 11．Which of the following is a finding of the research?A．Less than 30 minutes of exposure indoors avoids virus transmission.B．Using a surgical mask can reduce the risks of airborne virus infection.C．The manner of the musicians and audiences affects the risks of infection.D．Aerosol concentrations from a clarinet is much more obvious than singing.DCan you imagine there being a community where boys and girls growing up together can finally speak different 1anguages? In Ubang, Nigeria, it really happens. It’s not exactly clear what percentage of the words in the men’s and women’s languages are different, but there are enough examples to make sentences sound different when spoken by the opposite sex. For “clothing”, men use the word “nki”, while women say “ariga”; “kitchi” means tree for men, while women say “okweng”. These are not just some slight pronunciation differences, but totally different words. “It’s almost like two different lexicons (词汇集),” a language expert, Chi Chi Undie said. “There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don’t sound alike, and don’t have the same letters. They are completely different words.”Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue. It seems that there is a stage the male will reach and he discovers he is not using the rightful language. When he starts speaking the men’s language, you know the maturity is coming into him.No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. Chi Chi Undie believes the two languages are the result of a “double-sex culture” where men and women operate and live in separate worlds that rarely come together. However, she admits this is a weak theory, as the double-sex culture is present in many parts of Africa, where there are no different languages for men and women.Today, with English words constantly entering the lexicon of young Nigerians, Ubang’s two languages are in danger of being lost forever. Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation.12．What do we know about languages in Ubang?A．A majority of words are different in the two languages.B．Men and women speak completely different languages.C．Men and women have different pronunciation for the same word.D．There are obvious differences in languages between the opposite sex. 13．Why can men and women understand each other despite the differences?A．Their vocabularies sound alike.B．Their parents teach them both languages.C．The men can speak two different languages.D．They are exposed to both languages in childhood.14．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The origin of “double-sex culture” B．The formation of the two languages.C. Further exploration of other areas.D. Doubt about the language tradition.15．Why are the two languages disappearing?A．Young people in Ugang use more English words.B．The two languages are too difficult for the young.C．Neither of the language is written down.D．The “double-sex culture” has changed.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读短文，从短文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Instead,each bag came with a small blue packet of salt____24____(shake)over the contents.Murphy started with artificial flavours of cheese and onion.The pairing is a classic,and the flavour combines well with potatoes.“Potatoes,”____25____(write)Seamus Heaney, one of Ireland’s greatest poets,“promise the taste of ground and root”.The ____26____(poetic)might describe them as a bit plain.Sprinkled with the salty umami(鲜味) of Murphy’s seasoning,however,they became a cut-price sensation.Taytos remain the classic Irish crisp,but now they are available elsewhere,____27____, of course,many other brands of flavoured crisps are.That is a mixed blessing.Once upon a time even industrially produced foods had a limited range.To travel was to discover not only the cooking in other places,but the snacks.Going to France was a chance to chug(一饮而尽)a bottle of Orangina,a fizzy drink.For me,Taytos were____28____once-a-year treat, to be eaten on a beach in south-west Ireland shivering after an icy swim or sweating at the top of a mountain.Thanks to a globalised food system and the appetites of homesick migrants,such items are now available far beyond their lands of origin.That shift results in the loss of a modest joy.At first glance a bag of Taytos is the opposite of a seasonal or local food.____29____(enclose)in their silvery plastic,they survive in all seasons and locales.And yet,for me at least,these potato snacks are entangled with their Irish roots.The ingenious seasoning should taste no different____30____I am in a London park or in Murphy’s homeland.But somehow it does.(B)Are you afraid of getting old?____31________31________31____we get past the age of25,many of us immediately feel the urge to stop the signs of ageing—especially the visible ones.Men and women are now using topical“anti-ageing”creams,spa treatments and medical procedures____32____(counter)many of them.____33____these methods can somewhat affect the way you look,ageing is an internal process.A new study has found exactly when during your lifetime this process peaks.A group of scientists based out of the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that____34________34____being a smooth,continuous process,ageing surges forward at three distinct stages of life:first,at the age of34,then at age60,and finally at78.The study,published in Nature Medicine,reveals that scientists can not only predict your age by studying the proteome(protein levels in the blood)but also determine which organs are ageing faster than____35________35____,and which age-related diseases your body is more likely to develop.The study measured plasma proteins(血浆蛋白) collected from4,263adults between the ages of18-95years and studied the changes in the proteome that occurred with age.Their ultimate goal was to understand how to identify the changes associated with cardiovascular issues and age-related diseases like Alzheimer's____36________36____ therapeutic treatments can be devised to counter their onset while there's still time.Dr Tony Wyss-Coray,one of the leading members of the study,told Stanford Medicine News Center,“We've known for a long time that____37____(measure)certain proteins can give you information about a person's health status—lipoproteins(脂蛋白)for cardiovascular(心血管的)health,for example.But it____38____(not appreciate)that so many different proteins'levels—roughly a third of all the ones we looked at—change markedly with advancing age.”This difference between the chronological(按时间计算的)and physiological(生理的) age,according to the scientists'“plasma-protein clock”,showed that a lot of people in the study seemed younger than they actually are.What's more,the study also confirmed that men and women,though equally____39____(represent)in the study,age differently.Does this mean medications and lifestyle methods,with further research,can also be devised to help____40____ages too rapidly and is at risk of contracting age-related diseases like hypertension and Alzheimer's?You never know.Section B:Directions:Complete the following passages by using the words in the box.Each word can only beIt launched an independent review of security after items including gold jewellery and gems of semiprecious stones and glass dating from the15th century BC to the19th century AD were found to be missing,stolen or damaged.Legal action against the____41____member of staff will be taken and the matter is also being investigated by the economic crime command of the Metropolitan police.George Osborne,the museum’s chair,said:“The trustees of the British Museum were extremely____42____when we learned earlier this year that items of the collection had been stolen.“The trustees have taken____43____action to deal with the situation,working with the team at the museum.We called in the police,imposed emergency measures to increase security,set up an independent review into what happened and lessons to learn,and used all the____44____powers available to us to deal with the individual we believe to be responsible.“Our priority is now threefold:first,to____45____the stolen items;second,to find out what,if anything,could have been done to stop this;and third,to do whatever it takes,with investment in security and collection records,to make sure this doesn’t happen again.“This incident only reinforces the____46____for the reimagination of the museum we have embarked upon.It’s a sad day for all who love our British Museum,but we’re determined to____47____the wrongs and use the experience to build a stronger museum.”Hartwig Fischer,the museum’s director,said:“This is a highly unusual incident.We take the safeguarding of all the items in our care____48____.The museum apologises for what has happened,but we have now brought an end to this–and we are determined to put things right.We have already tightened our security arrangements and we are working alongside outside experts to complete a definitive____49____of what is missing,damaged and stolen.This will allow us to____50____our efforts into our work to ensure the stolen items are returned to the museum.”III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I own a market research company,so I understand the importance of gathering data from your target audience and using that data in order to make product development.I also know that surveys can provide____51____information that's extremely valuable to our clients.But the quality of the data you get as an output from surveys is only as strong as how well you____52____the survey questions.One of the main pitfalls I see teams make is writing leading questions that might get the company results they want to hear,but those results are not always____53____.Below are common ways I've seen companies ask leading questions and how to avoid them:1.Don't make assumptions for your participants.“How well do you think we delivered on your project?”implies your team did a good job.To make it more objective,____54____to ask,“How did we deliver on your project?”It's a subtle change,but the second question takes out the implicit bias.2.Balance the options from which participants can choose.Let's say you want to know the level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction customers have with your product or service.If you ask this in a multiple-choice format,you need to ensure the____55____is balanced for both positive and negative responses.The following options, for example,would not work:•Extremely satisfied•Very satisfied•Satisfied•Somewhat unsatisfied•UnsatisfiedAs a rule of thumb,if you have“extremely”on the positive end,you should have “extremely”on the negative side as well,and give a(n)____56____option in the middle of the scale.3.Don't'lead the witness'(or participant).Again,if you're seeking____57____(and you should have started with knowing why you're conducting the survey in the first place),you don't want to put statements in front of a question that will lead participants to____58____in a certain way.____59____,my company works a lot with educational technology companies.We would never write a question such as this:“Most of the people who

A.isolated B.objective C.selected D.reflectiveSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In winter,Hammerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo,though why anyone would wantto go there in winter is a question worth considering.It is on the edge of the world,the northernmost town in Europe,a place of dark and fierce winters,where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks.I wanted to see the Northern Lights...but now as l picked my way through Oslo in late December.I was beginning to have my doubts.Things had not started well.I had overslept at the hotel,missing breakfast,and had to leap into my clothes.I couldn't find a taxi and had to drag my over-weighted bag eight blocks to the central bus station.I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveller's cheques to pay the1,200-kroner bus fare------they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Bryson on my traveller's cheques were both me-and now here l was arriving at the station two minutes before departure...and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation.'This isn't happening,'I said.'I'm still at home in England enjoying Christmas...'Actually,I said, 'There must be some mistake.Please look again.'The girl studied the passenger list.'No,Mr Bryson,your name is not here.'But I could see it,even upside-down.'There it is,second from the bottom.''No,'the girl decided,'that says Bernt Bjornson.That's a Norwegian name.''It doesn't say Bernt Bjorson.It says Bill Bryson.Look at the y,the two ls.Miss,please,’But she wouldn't have it.'If I miss this bus,when does the next one go?''Next week at the same time.'Oh,splendid.'Miss,believe me,it says Bill Bryson.''No,it doesn't.''Miss,look,I've come from England.I'm carrying some medicine that could save a child's life.' She didn't buy this.'l want to see the manager.''He's in Stavanger.''Listen,I made a reservation by telephone.If I don't get on this bus,I'm going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century.'This clearly did not alarm her.Then it struck me.'If this Bemt Bjorson doesn't show up,can l have this seat?''Sure.'Why don't I think of these things in the first place...?'Thank you,'I said...66.What can be learned from the passage about Hammerfest?A.It is located in the South of the city of Oslo.B.It is where the Northern Lights can be seen.C.It remains a town without sufficient power supply.D.It remains in the darkness from November till next March.67.The writer got to the station just two minutes before the train's departure because he spent much time_____.A.cashing his traveller's chequesB.finding a place to have breakfastC.waiting for a taxi to send him thereD.choosing suitable clothes to wear68.By“Oh,splendid”,the writer meant that he actually felt_____.A.puzzledB.amazedC.worriedD.relieved69.Why did the writer say he was carrying some medicine and he would write to the manager?A.To tell the girl what he really wanted to do.B.To show the girl how angry he was with her.C.To warn the girl of the potential consequences.D.To persuade the girl to give him a seat on the bus.(B)Care for a zoom-in observation of animals with no bars between you and the observed as opposed to ordinary zoos?Where to have close-up encounters with some of the world’s most rare animals？We are revealing for you：1.Right whales,Bay of Fundy,CanadaNorthern right whales are on the brink of extinction,but survivors arrive in the Bay of Fundy each summer(May through October)to feed east of Grand Manan Island.They are recognized by a broad back and no dorsal fin,which distinguish them from other whales entering the bay.Planning:Whale-watching tours operate out of Digby Neck peninsula on Nova Scotia and nearby islands,such as Brier Island.St.Andrews.Grand Manan Island.and Deer Island.2.Grizzly bears,AlaskaGrizzlies like salmon.In mid-July and again in mid-August,grizzlies make for Alaskan rivers to hook out the fish with their formidable claws.The bears gather in large numbers at rapids and pools,sometimes fighting for the best sites.Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park,and Fish Creek, near Hyder,have viewing platforms.Planning:Most fishing sites are reached by chartered light aircraft and a hike.Hyder is off the Swart-Cassiar Highway.3.Monarch butterflies,Sierra Chincua,MexicoEach fall,millions of North American monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles to the oyalmel fir forests of the Transvolcanic Mountain Range,in the state of Mchoacdn.They flock intimately(closely)on tree trunks,bushes,and on the ground,fully showing their gregarious natureand occupy Sierra Chincua and four neighbouring hills that make up the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.Planning:Chineua is one of two hills in the reserve open to the public from November through March.4.Komodo dragons,Komodo Island,IndonesiaLanding on Komodo,you would feel like stepping back to a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth,as park maps reported,“Here be dragons!”This mountainous volcanic island is home to the world's largest living lizard---the Komodo dragon.Weighing79to91kg.the Komodo dragon has a tail as long as its body.You can hike to a viewpoint at Banugulung and watch as park rangers feed food to the lizards,some of which are more than10ft(3m)long.Planning:Komodo is reached solely by boat from Bima(on eastern Sumbawa)or Labuan Bajo (on western Flores).5.Wildebeest migration,Serengeti,TanzaniaUndoubtedly the world's most spectacular wildlife sight is the annual wildebeest migration, when1.4million wildebeest and200,000zebras and gazelles are on the move across the Serengeti plains.The animals are trekking to chase the clean water and fresh grass.Along the way,lions and hyenas stalk them,and crocodiles lie in wait.Planning:The herds migrate across Tanzania from December through July,and then pass through the Masai Mara in Kenya in August and September.70.The underlined word gregarious is closest in meaning to________________.A.being able to climbB.preferring group livingC.migrating in small numbersD.moderate in temper71.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.Right whales are distinguished from other whales by unique appearance features.B.Viewing spots for grizzly bears are accessible by air and on foot.C.Komodo Island is located east of Flores and West of SumbawaD.Wildebeest herds travel to pursue favourable food conditions.72.Li Hua is an adventurous visitor longing for closer look at animals.He is taking a gap year and doing voluntary work now in Indonesia.He will go back to China and further his study next fall. Which of the following will be the most reasonable wildlife-watching route after he finishes his voluntary work this winter?A.Alaska→Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua→SerengetiB.Serengeti→Alaska→Bay of Fundy→Sierra ChincuaC.Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua→Serengeti→AlaskaD.Sierra Chincua→Serengeti→Alaska→Bay of Fundy(C)Many Americans harbor a false and exaggerated view of most of the risks surrounding food. Fergus Clydesdale,head of the department of food science and nutrition at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst,points out that if the dangers from bacterially polluted chicken were as great as some people believe,“the streets would be littered with people lying here and there.”Though the public increasingly demands no-risk food,there is no such thing.Bruce Ames, chairman of the biochemistry department at the University of California,Berkeley,points out that up to10%of a plant’s weight is made up of natural pesticides.Says he:“Since plants do not have jaws or teeth to protect themselves,they employ chemical warfare.”And many naturally produced chemicals,though occurring in tiny amounts,prove in laboratory tests to be strong carcinogens-a substance which can cause cancer.Mushrooms might be banned if they were judged by the same standards that apply to food additives.Declares Christina Stark,a nutritionist at Cornell University:“We’ve got far worse natural chemicals in the food supply than anything man-made.”Yet the issues are not that simple.While Americans have no reason to be terrified to sit down at the dinner table,they have every reason to demand significant improvements in food and water safety.They unconsciously and unwillingly take in too much of too many dangerous chemicals.If food already contains natural carcinogens,it does not make much sense to add dozens of new man-made ones.Though most people are subject to the small amounts of pollutants generally found in food and water,at least a few individuals will probably get cancer one day because of what they eat and drink.To make good food and water supplies even better,the Government needs to tighten its regulatory standards,enhance its inspection program and strengthen its enforcement policies.The food industry should modify some long-accepted practices or turn to less risky alternatives.Perhaps most important,consumers will have to do a better job of learning how to handle and cook food properly.The problems that need to be tackled exist all along the food-supply chain,from fields to processing plants to kitchens.73.What does the author think of the Americans’view of their food?A.They overstate the government’s interference with the food industry.B.They are overoptimistic about the safety of their food.C.They overestimate the risk of the food they eat.D.They overlook the potential danger caused by the food.74.The author considers it impossible to obtain no-risk food because________.A.no food is free from pollution in the environmentB.pesticides are widely used in agricultureC.many vegetables contain dangerous natural chemicalsD.almost all foods have hazardous additives75.By saying“they employ chemical warfare”(Para.2),Bruce Ames means“________”.A.plants produce certain chemicals to resist pests and diseasesB.plants absorb useful chemicals to promote their growthC.farmers use man-made chemicals to dissolve the natural chemicals in plantsD.farmers use chemicals to protect plants against pests and diseases76.What is the message the author wants to convey in the passage?A.Eating and drinking have become more dangerous than before due to additives.B.Sweeping measures must be taken immediately to ensure safety in food industry.C.Healthy food is a distant dream in the modern society,remaining to be realized.D.There is reason for caution but no cause for alarm with regard to food consumption.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.They differ in how they space the syllables in a sentence.B.Unlike other languages,English is unusually rich in consonant(辅音)clusters.C.French-speakers are familiar with a U.S.city called yoos-TON,not the English HYOO-ston.D.In“civilisation”the primary and secondary stress is on the4th and1st syllable respectively.E.There is much more to learning a foreign accent than the sounds that the letters on the page represent.F.As with chemistry,the important thing is not just how the elements behave in isolation,but how they cometogether.Why you have an accent in a foreign languageOpen a textbook for a foreign language,the first thing you see is an alphabet,listing the lettersand the sounds they represent.This is obviously crucial for unfamiliar systems,say those of Greek or Russian.But even for languages that rely on the Latin alphabet,the guide will explain how accentmarks change a letter’s pronunciation,and strange features such as the-gl-in Italian.And with that,it’s off to master greetings,vocabulary and so on,with little further thought for pronunciation.This is a shame.____87____To begin with,the rough equivalents given in Englishare often quite rough indeed.In French,the p in Paris sounds rather different from the p in English,a contrast often neglected in textbooks:the French version lacks the strong puff of air of the Englishone.Even when textbooks or instructors mention this sort of difference,the next step is often missing.____88____Each language has rules for these combinations,which native speakers generally grasp but don’t or can’t explain.。

AA painting of a famous artist could cost several million dollars in the market. This is why many artworks－even those that are housed inside highly guarded museums－go missing. Here is a list of some of the most famous paintings that were lost, stolen or destroyed.Vincent Van Gogh' s Poppy FlowersThis artwork was housed at the Mohammed Mahmoud Khalil Museum in Cairo. It was first lost in 1977, but was recovered 10 years after. The second time this same Vincent Van Gogh painting was stolen was in August of 2010. The painting is estimated (估价) to be worth something between $50 and $55 million.Pablo Picasso' s Le Pigeon Aux PetitsStolen on May 20, 2010, this painting by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso is worth $28 million. It was stolen at the Musee d' Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, along with five other artworks. However, the thieves threw the painting away in a trashcan when they were caught. But that container was emptied before the authorities got there. It was feared that the painting was already destroyed.Paul Cezanne' s View of Auvers Sur OiseLost on December 31, 1990, this artwork that used to be on exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford was stolen the night before the city's Millennium celebration. The thieves planned the robbery in time with the fireworks exhibition during peak of the celebrations. This artwork is estimated to be worth $5 million.Covert Flinck' s Landscape with an ObeliskStolen on March 18, 1990, this artwork was at the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum in Boston. This painting by Covert Flinck was previously believed to be a Rembrandt creation. A huge cash reward of $5 million will be given to the person who can provide information leading tothe recovery of the painting.21. In which of the following cities was Le Pigeon Aux Petits stolen?A. Cairo.B. Paris.C. Oxford.D. Boston.22. Who was mistakenly thought to create Landscape with an Obelisk?A. Pablo Picasso.B. Paul Cezanne.C. Covert Flinck.D. Rembrandt.23. What can we infer about the four artworks mentioned in the text?A. Some of them are given an approximate price.B. They all are stolen when on exhibition.C. Some of them are lost 30 years.D. Some of them have been found so far.BIn the US TV series Friends, Rachel Green is a classic example of a pushover. More often than not, she gives in to her childhood friend Monic a Geller’s demands on trivial （琐碎的）things such as what to eat for a lunch, even if she has her own preference.Like Rachel, some people find themselves being constantly influenced by others. There are all kinds of reasons why they would act as easy-going and flexible as Rachel does. Maybe the topic of discussion just isn’t something that interests them. Take household issues for example. Most men don’t get overly excited at the idea of buying new kitchenware. So it’s not uncommon to hear a husband tell his wife “you can buy whatever you like” or “I don’t care”. Technically, he’s being a pushover. But he’s also being flexible, avoiding any future conflict.Have you ever been traveling with friends and disagreed with them about which scenic spots you should vi sit? Maybe you had your own opinions on where to go, but you just said, “Oh, I’m fine if we don’t go there. It’s your call.” Being easy-going is certainly a virtue that helps sustain good relationships and makes you a person that others want to be around. It can make you look like a pushover to others, but if you’re OK with that, then it’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with it.But if you hate being thought of as a pushover, then maybe it’s time you should learn to say “no”. No is a simple yet powerful word. You don’t have to do or participate in anything that you don’t want to. It won’t upset the people around you half as much as you fear it will, and if it does then they will get over it in time. Taking a firm stand clearly defines your likes and dislikes, whichcan also be an endearing （讨人喜欢的）character trait.24.What is a pushover likely to do when going to the cinema with a friend?A. Hesitate about which film to see.B. Choose to see the film her friend likes.C. Quarrel with her friend about what to see.D. Persuade her friend to see her favorite film.25. When it comes to buying kitchenware, a husband tends to tell his wife “you can buy whatever you like” because ________A. He wants to show his language techniques.B. He would like to please his wife.C. He just wants to avoid conflict in future.D. He is a caring husband26.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Doing anything friends ask you to do.B. Hating being considered as a pushover.C. Saying “no” to somet hing you don’t want.D. Being easy-going to the people around you.27.What’s the author’s attitude towards being a pushover?A. Neutral.B. DisapprovingC. Favorable.D. Reserved.CMy son Mason recently turned three and to celebrate it, we had a cookout with friends. Fortunately, many friends have kids his age. When kids congregate (聚集) there is a sense that chaos is right around the corner. Once the screaming begins, little bodies scatter to their moms and dads and fingers point at the perceived wrongdoer. This happens because they don’t know how to work together. They can learn, however.Interestingly similar enough, when the new school year begins, teachers putting the students in groups and expecting them to work together on a common task, things will break down. The teacher, wrongly assuming students are unwilling to work together rather than unable, will say things like “Work together,” or even “You are in ___ grade now. You should be able to cooperat e.” The teacher may even go as far as putting students back into rows because they do not seem ready to work in teams. Often, though, students want to work together, they just don’t know how. Fortunately, just like Mason and his friends, all students can learn to be effective members of a team.In any academic discipline, the ability to function as a team requires a host of skills. Becauseteamwork skills translate across content areas and provide the foundation for learning in today’s classrooms, they demand significant attention in our classrooms. So, how can teachers support students in acquiring these skills?Teachers can best teach teamwork skills early by having students practice them with activities that are independent of academic content. Depending on students’ ages, teachers may introduce one or more of the following teamwork skills during activities: developing and sharing ideas, listening, positive behavior, individual participation, and coming to agreement. Specifically, teachers should work with students to establish a common understanding of the desired skills and model examples and nonexamples before allowing them to practice on their own. Fortunately, there is no shortage of activities that will get students eager to think and work together. In addition to more well-known team-building activities, such as the “human knot,” there has recently been an influx (流入) of stand-alone team activities known as STEM activities.28. The underlined sentence in Para1 is written to ___________.A. picture a scene of kids playing together noisilyB. indicate the kids’ lack of ability to look after themselvesC. express the writer’s affection to the lovely kidsD. describe the kids’ reaction when they are in conflict29. The teachers try to persuade the students to cooperate on the assumption that ___________.A. the students should be effective team members naturallyB. the students are lacking in cooperative abilityC. the students don’t intend to cooperate wellD. the students need to be trained for cooperative tasks30.We can learn from the passage that_____A. The students are unwilling to work together.B. Teamwork indeed requires a wealth of skills.C. Teachers can best teach teamwork skills early by having students practice them with activities related to academic content.D. There are limited activities that get students trained in teamwork skills.31. What is the best way to teach the students teamwork skills in classrooms?A. Guide the students to have an understanding of teamwork skills.B. Let them enjoy stand-alone activities like STEM.C. Inspire the students to think positively.D. Practice their teamwork skills during activitiesDDon't let the name fool you: a black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area－think of a star ten times bigger than the sun squeezed into a ball approximately the diameter (直径) of New York City. The result produces such a strong gravitational field that nothing, not even light, can escape. In recent years, NASA instruments have painted a new picture of these strange objects that are, to many, the most fascinating objects in space.The idea of an object in space so massive and dense (密度大的) that light could not escape it has been around for centuries. Most famously, black holes were predicted by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, which showed that when a massive star dies, the center of the star falls in upon itself, or falls apart. When this happens, it explodes part of the star into space and leaves behind a small core with its great density. If the core' s mass is more than about three times the mass of the sun, then the force of gravity is greater than all other forces and produces a black hole.Scientists can't directly observe black holes with telescopes that detect (探测) x-rays, light, or other forms of radiation. We can, however, infer the presence of black holes and study them by detecting their influence on other matter nearby. If a black hole passes through a cloud of matter, for example, it will draw matter inside in a process known as addition. A similar process can occur if a normal star passes close to a black hole. In this case, the black hole can tear the star apart as it pulls it towards itself. As the attracted matter accelerates and heats up, it gives off x-rays that radiate into space. Recent discoveries offer some evidence that black holes have a dramatic influence on the neighborhoods around them - giving off powerful gamma ray bursts, swallowing nearby stars, and accelerating the growth of new stars in some areas while postponing it in others.32. Why does a black hole have such a powerful gravity?A. Its area is small.B. It is empty space.C. Its density is great.D. It contains much light.33. How many stages are there from a massive star to a black hole?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.34. How do scientists research black holes?A. By studying matter nearby them.B. By observing them with telescopes.C. By collecting some light from them.D. By receiving powerful gamma ray bursts.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Birth of a Black HoleB. The First Picture of a Black HoleC. Some Unknown Secrets of Black HolesD. A New Scientific Discovery：Black Holes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。
江苏省苏州中学校2023-2024学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题
江苏省苏州中学校2023-2024学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The classic road trip is more popular than ever. Here are several places to hit the open(1) Colo-road TripsThe Colorado Tourism Office has made it easy for travelers to explore the state’s 24 Scenic Historic Byways. A new microsite includes an interactive map that enables travelers to explore options by region, interest or season. Visitors seeking inspiration can also access insider tips and side-trip suggestions within more than 150 Colo-road Trip itineraries (行程). The flexible itineraries offer suggestions for historic attractions, active adventures and highlight cultural opportunities.(2) The Bear-tooth HighwayVisitors who travel this extraordinary path experience the visual landscape of Montana, Wyoming and Yellowstone Park, home to Bear-tooth mountains. The windy, cliff-hugging 68-mile stretch introduces road explorers to one of the most diverse ecosystems accessible by auto. Amazingly beautiful, this All-American Road displays wide highlands, painted with(3) Seward Highway, AlaskaThe road that connects Anchorage to Seward is a 127-mile treasure, including natural beauty, wildlife and stories of endurance. Take a day or several to explore the region that has earned three-fold recognition as a Forest Service Scenic Byway, an Alaskan Scenic Byway and an All-American Road. The drive begins at the base of the Chugach Mountains, hugs the scenic shores of Turn-again Arm and winds through mining towns, national forests and fishing villages as you imagine what fur traders and gold prospectors (掘金者) might have experienced in the past.(4) The Lighthouse Trail, MaineTravel the 375 miles between Kittery and Calais, Maine, visit lighthouses along the way, and learn about the dangers that seagoing boats and their crew experienced along the rocky coast. Hear tales of the difficult and lonely life led by those who kept the lights burning brightly. If possible, visit the Maine Lighthouse Museum, where artifacts and hands-on exhibits for children provide an attractive break.1．What is special about each place mentioned above?A．Tourists of Colo-road Trips are offered adaptable trip plans.B．Visitors to the Bear-tooth Highway can enjoy the auto display.C．Drivers along Seward Highway can admire the treasure underground.D．The Lighthouse Trail offers chances to row seagoing boats on the sea.2．Which place may appeal to kids according to the passage?A．Colo-road Trips.B．The Bear-tooth Highway.C．Seward Highway, Alaska.D．The Lighthouse Trail, Maine.3．The best title for the passage is ____.A．Recognition for classic places B．American popular road tripsC．All-American highway journey D．Stories of adventure along road tripsAs a child, Liu Wenwen didn’t like the suona, a “loud” traditional Chinese musical instrument, also an ancestral treasure of her family that was to become her career.Liu says she felt ashamed. In the 1990s, people admired things that were modern and international. The suona was considered out of date. Her father’s family has performed with the suona for seven generations, while the tradition on her mother’s side of the family can be traced back to the early Qing Dynasty. Despite her unwillingness, she followed her parents to play the suona as early as 3 years old. Besides it, Liu has also learned traditional Chinese vocal music and dancing — skills that have improved her oral muscles and sense of rhyme, helping equip her to be a professional musician.It wasn’t until 2008 that she first found suona music beautiful. That was when she entered the Shanghai Conservatory of Music to learn the instrument more systematically from Liu Ying, a professor and top player. “The music played by the professor is just amazing, and different from what I had heard before,” she says.She loves exchanging ideas about suona playing techniques with her students. “It’s wonderful to see the younger generation carrying on this cultural tradition.” Liu Wenwen said she is pleased to see the suona regain popularity among young people, sometimes combined with jazz, opera and other art forms. This has stopped its decline in the 1990s. Her name, when mentioned on China’s social media platforms, often is followed by a video of her live performance at a concert in Sydney, Australia. Westerners were amazed by the loud, unfamiliar instrument and its colorful music. “I felt my hard work had paid off. I trained for over 20 years, probably just to win cheers and applause for traditional Chinese music on the international stage.”4．What urged Liu Wenwen to learn to play the suona?A．Career pressure.B．Social trend.C．Family tradition.D．Her professor’s performance.5．What has helped her become a professional musician?A．Her early passion for suona.B．Her exposure to vocal music and dance.C．Her learning knowledge of rhyme.D．Her performing experiences with family. 6．How did Liu begin to find suona music beautiful?A．By learning from the famous professor Liu.B．By visiting Shanghai Conservatory of Music.C．By combining suona with other music forms.D．By watching her family performing with suona.7．What is implied in the last paragraph?A．She is now working as a professor overseas.B．She appreciates the value of her performance.C．She has made a fortune after 20 years’ devotion.D．She has amazed Westerners with her hard work.Science is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them. Every aspect of scientific knowledge can be questioned, including the general rules of thinking that appear to be most certain. So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing? If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world?The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.Consider a folk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific”? Yes, if it is proven to be effective, even if we have no idea why it works. In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work. A research doctor in a modern hospital must be ready to change his theory if a more effective way of understanding illness, or treating it, becomes available.What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a completeabsence of certainty. As John Stuart Mill wrote in “On Liberty” in 1859, “The beliefs which we have most warrant (依据) for, have no safeguard to rest on, but a standing invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded.”8．Why does the author raise the two questions in paragraph 1?A．To add some fun.B．To express doubts.C．To introduce the topic.D．To provide background.9．What can we learn about today’s scientific description of the world?A．It can be timeless.B．It can be improved.C．It is of little value.D．It is the best at any moment. 10．What is the author’s attitude toward folk treatment?A．Dismissive.B．Objective.C．Pessimistic.D．Sympathetic. 11．What is the main idea of paragraph 4?A．It is unwise to believe in science.B．Too much uncertainty lies in science.C．The foundation of science is unfounded.D．The lack of certainty makes science credible.Though researchers have long known that adults build unconscious (无意识的) preferences over a lifetime of making choices between things that are essentially the same, the new finding that even babies engage in this phenomenon demonstrates that this way of justifying choice is intuitive (凭直觉的) and somehow fundamental to the human experience.“The act of making a choice changes how we feel about our options,” said Alex Silver, a Johns Hopkins researcher. “Even infants who are really just at the start of making choices for themselves have this preference.”The findings are published today in the journal Psychological Science. People assume they choose things that they like. But research suggests that’s sometimes backwards: we like things because we choose them. And, we dislike things that we don’t choose. “Adults make these inferences unconsciously,” said co-author Lisa Feigenson, a Johns Hopkins scientist in child development. “We justify our choice after the fact.”This makes sense for adults in a consumer culture who must make random choices every day, between everything from toothpaste brands to styles of jeans. The question was when exactly people start doing this. So they turned to babies, who don’t get many choices so, asFeigenson puts it, are “a perfect window into the origin of this tendency.”The team brought 10-to 20-month-old babies into the lab and gave them a choice of objects to play with; two equally bright and colorful soft blocks. They set them far apart, so the babies had to crawl to one or the other — a random choice. After the baby chose one of the toys, the researchers took it away and came back with a new option. The babies could then pick from the toy they didn’t play with the first time, or a brand new toy. Their choices showed they “dis-prefer the unchosen object.”To continue studying the evolution of choice in babies, the lab will next look at the idea of “choice overload.” For adults, choice is good, but too many choices can be a problem, so the lab will try to determine if that is also true for babies.12．What is people’s assumption about the act of making choices?A．They like what they choose.B．They choose what they like.C．They base choices on the fact.D．They make choices thoughtfully.13．Why were babies selected as subjects for the study?A．To help them make better choices.B．To guide them to perceive the world.C．To track the root of making random choices.D．To deepen the understanding of a consumer culture.14．What does the study on the babies show?A．They like novel objects.B．Their choices are mostly based on colors.C．Their random choices become preferences.D．They are unable to make choices for themselves.15．What will the following study focus on?A．The law of “choice overload”.B．The problem of adults’ many choices.C．Why too many choices can influence adults.D．Whether babies are troubled with many choices.二、七选五The best way to learn new skills has been widely debated. In 2008, Malcolm Gladwell published Outliers, which introduced the so-called “10,000 hours rule” that states it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert in a subject.16 Let’s break down what this involves.You’re willing to learn from people you don’t like.We tend to get annoyed with people who don’t share our view of the world. 17 That’s exactly why they offer opportunities to learn. You don’t need to buy into someone’s values about the world to learn from them and they can offer a new perspective.18Stick to one comfortable mode of learning is a bad idea. Master learners are willing to learn from lots of sources, including the following: technical dry books or manuals, YouTube or Instagram, calling or visiting people they don’t know, searching the internet and through friendships and social relationships.You can reflect on your work and think outside of the box.Master learners don’t just become good in their field. They think about what they learn in ways that aren’t focused on one topic. 19 They allow their minds to move in creative ways and connect seemingly diverse concepts and tools that other people don’t connect.You approach learning with your learning objectives in mind.I love learning about other people’s learning processes. I once watched a video made bya medical student who stopped going to lectures. She recognized that the lectures weren’t as efficient or effective as reading her own books.Master learners don’t follow someone else’s learning plan. For example, they don’t use one learning app for hundreds of lessons without exploring other options. 20 A．You’re willing to try out different thinking styles.B．You’re ready to learn through different modes and channels.C．People who are different from us will tend to approach problems differently.D．But from a psychological perspective, what makes someone a master learner?E．They develop their own learning plan based on their specific learning objectives.F．The smartest, most creative people don’t rely solely on focus for getting things done.G．To add to our learning, we’ll need to be willing to learn from people who we don’tpersonally like.三、完形填空When I was in middle school, I tried my best to be popular.

A.whyB.what
C.asD.that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意：通常对于那些心存希望的人来说一切皆有可能。此句中It为形式主语，that从句为真正的主语。从句的句意和句子结构完整。故D项正确。
【名师点睛】that引导主语从句：由连词that引导的主语从句，在大多数情况下不放句首，用it作形式主语来代替它的位置。常见的以it作形式主语的主语从句的句型有三种：
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：许多年轻人，其中大多数受过良好教育，前往偏远地区追逐梦想。本题中含有一个定语从句，先行词是Many young people，关系代词whom指代先行词，在定语从句中作介词of的宾语。故C项正确。
【点睛】在非限制性定语从句中，先行词作为一个整体，表示整体中的一部分，即表示＂部分与整体＂的关系时，用…of which / whom表示，这时不能用whose来代替of which。表示所属关系时，of which/whom可以与whose互换。
