2019-2020年高三下学期适应性考试(一)英语试题含答案

2019-2020年高三下学期适应性考试(一)英语试题含答案第一部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)AIt was six or seven years ago that I first witnessed a ginger cat break into my house.His name was Samson and while “cat’’ was one description you might have applied to h im, another more accurate one was “ginger beach ball that just happened to have a cat’s head on top”.He belonged to Ruby,a lady in her 80s living across the road.Soon the two of us became friends:me allowing him to steal my cat’s biscuits,him allowing me to stroke him while staring up at me in a relaxed way.If he had been able to speak,the majority of his sentences would have ended in the word “dude”(伙计).When Ruby died in xx,a friend who lived several miles away adopted Samson.A strict diet followed,which left Samson looking less like a beach ball and more like a smaller cat wearing a baggy ginger sweater.While he had been around,I had plained a little about my extra cat food bills and feared for my armchairs and sofa which were often violently scratche d. But in the year or two after he’d gone I missed him a lot.In the past two and a half years,I’ve been visited by a succession of ginger cats,all of whom have been lovable,and all of whom have proved costly in either an emotional or financial sense.I'm moving out soon and facing up to the fact that I might never see them again.I've told the buyer of my house about the essential information of it,especially the visiting cats.The chances are that one day if a cat,whether it is from one of the neighbours or just a stray one,turns up by his doorway,he can at least feed it.1.When the author first saw the ginger cat,.A.she named it Samson immediatelyB.she thought Samson was troublesomeC.she asked Ruby to adopt itD.she found the cat looked very fat2.We can conclude from Paragraph l that the ginger cat .A.was not properly trained B.enjoyed the moment with the author C.was abandoned by Ruby D.disliked the biscuits of the author3.Who does the underlined word “he” in the last sentence r efer to?A.The ginger cat B.The authorC.Ruby D.The new owner of the house4.We can infer from the story that the authorA.missed the days spent with those catsB.regretted what she had done for the catsC.had many encounters with strange catsD.had to avoid conflicts with his neighboursBTeen Climbing Camp xxThis 5-day climbing camp is suitable for teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 who have an interest in rock climbing. The climbing days are designed for beginners and those who havesome basic experience in a gym or outdoors. Participants will find themselves challenged physically and mentally.Rock Dimensions camps are designed to be a positive and memorable experience by providing healthy munication between participants, individual goal setting, and challenges that lead to personal growth.Dates:Monday, June 29-Friday, July 3Monday, July 27-Friday, July 31Locations:Climbing Tower at FootsloggersLinville Gorge and Table Rock areaLocal climbing areas near BooneResponsibilities:Participants will meet Rock Dimensions guides at our location each morning and at the end of each day.

What of the following do participants need to bring with them?A. A safety rope.B. A helmet.C. Climbing shoes.D. Appropriate clothing.7. If Paul wants to participate in the climbing camp from July 27 to July 29 and his brother from July 27 to July 31, it will cost them _______.A. 575 dollarsB. 650 dollarsC. 900 dollarsD. 1,150 dollars8. What can we infer from the text?A. Some experience is required of the participants.B. It’ll be hard for teens to experience the climbing.C. Parents are required to stay with their children.D. Guides will talk about the prices with parents.CExpensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes(话匣子)to take the term “handsfree” to a new level—by talking into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and bines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which missioned(承担)the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my ‘Talk to the Hand’ project will get pe ople to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.”Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “There’s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to re cycle responsibly rather than throw them away.”9.The underlined word “O2” in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of ______.A. an artistB. a panyC. a mobileD. an exhibition10.Consumers can buy the “Talk to the Hand” gloves ______.A. in the exhibitionB. from Mr MilesC. when they are mass producedD. after they recycle the gadgets11 The purpose of the project is to _______.A. promote the technology of ITB. enable people to talk to their handsC. raise peo ple’s awareness of recyclingD. attract visitors’ attention in the exhibition12.What is the passage mainly about?A. New mobiles that are fashionable.B. Outdated handsets that are upgraded.C. Outdated gadgets that can be used for recycling.D. New gloves that can be used for making phone calls.DThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow orrecognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain es without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that es from using them.13. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.A. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsB. pay attention to their own eating habitsC. watch their weight rather than their dietD. try out a variety of diet foods14. In Paragraph 3, “gain es without pain” probably means ______.A. losing weight is effortlessB. diet products bring no painC. it costs a lot to lose weightD. diet products are free from calories15. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.A. lack basic nutrientsB. are over-consumedC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too mu energy第二节.补全对话(共5小题,每小题2分,共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。

The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usu ally rush forwards to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign(迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear b ehaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.I held my camera tripod(三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five or six times.The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling(扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back towards the forest, before returning for another attack—the first time I felt panic.Apparently sa tisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the oute for us could hardly have been better. I'm proud that my family re mained clear­headed when panic could have led to a very different oute.24. The brown bear approached the family in order to ________.A. catch shore birdsB. start an attackC. protect the childrenD. set up a barrier for itself25. The bear finally went away after it ________.A. felt safeB. got injuredC. found some foodD. took away the camera26. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ________.A. prideB. patienceC. calmnessD. cautiousnessCClose your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you had a hundred dollars less. Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with your eyes closed. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your fingertips.With existing medical knowledge and skills, two thirds of the world's 42 million blind should not have to suffer. Unfortunately, rich countries possess most of this knowledge,while developing countries do not.ORBIS is a n international non­profit organization which operates the wor ld's only flying teaching eye hospital.

At the moment an ORBIS team is working on a long­term plan to develop a training centre and to provide eye care services to Shanxi Province.ORBIS needs your help to continue their work and free people from blindness.For just US$38, you can help one person see; for $380 you can bring sight to 10 people; $1,300 helps teach a doctor new skills; and for $13,000 you can provide a training programme for a group of doctors who can make thousands of blind people see again.Your money can open their eyes to the world.Please help ORBIS improve the quality of life for so many people less fortunate than ourselves.27.

Sight­saving techniquesDLast summer,two nineteenth­century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana,to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco.The houses were made of wood.These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil;now they hold Twitter engineers.The cottages could be an example of the industry's odd love affair with “low technology”, a concept associated with the natural world,and with old­school craftsmanship(手艺) that exists long before the Internet era.Low technology is not virtual(虚拟的)—so,to take advantage of it,Internet panies have had to get creative.The rescued wood cottages,fitted by hand in the late eighteen­hundreds,are an obvious example,but Twitter's designs lie on the extreme end.Other panies are using a broader interpretation(阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.Amazon is building three glas s­spheres filled with trees,so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural,park­like setting”.At Google's office,an entire floor is carpeted in grace.Facebook's second Menlo Park camping will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.Olle Lundberg,the founder of Lundberg Design,has worked with many tech panies overthe years.“We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives,and our tech engineers are the ones who feel most impoverished(贫乏的),because they're surrounded by the digital world,”he says.“They're looking for a way to regain their individual identity,and we've found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.”This craft­based theory is rooted in history.William Morris,the English artist and writer,turned back to pre­industrial arts in the eighteen­sixties,just after the Industrial Revolution.The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines.“Without creative human occupation,people became disconnected from life,” Morris said.Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities.In Japan,patients are encouraged to “forest­bathe”, taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.These health benefits apply to the workplace as well.Rachel Kaplan,a professor of environmental psychology,has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environments.Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying.If low­tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then,fine,bring on the cottages.32.The writer ment ions the two nineteenth­century cottages to show that_.A.Twitter is having a hard timeB.old cottages are in need of protectionC.early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in MontanaD.Internet panies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology33.Low technology i s regarded as something that ________.A.is related to natureB.is out of date todayC.consumes too much energyD.exists in the virtual world34.The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ________.A.have destroyed many pre­industrial artsB.have a tradition of valuing arts and craftsC.can bee intelligent by learning historyD.can regain their individual identity by using machines35.What might be the best title for the passage?A.Past glories, future dreamsB.The virtual world,the real challengeC.High­tech panies, low­tec h officesD.The more craftsmanship,the less creativity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。
