2021届德州中学高三英语月考试题及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AA 21-year-old female student has become the youngest womanever to be elected as Mayor (市长) after first entering politics to campaign about food.Labor Party (工党) member Rosie Corrigan was elected as Mayor of Selby a market town in North Yorkshire, on Monday. The student’s election was unchallenged to the mayoralty, following a year serving as deputy mayor. Corrigan has just finished her second year studying politics at theUniversityofHull. A political activist since secondary school, lifelong Selby citizen Corrigan has always been ambitious. As a member of the UK Youth Parliament, she co-founded the Selby Youth council, and then went on to run for and win the local council election as a Labour candidate (候选人) aged just 18.Corrigan plan to use her year in office to further encourage political awareness in the youth of Selby. By breaking a political record of being the youngest woman ever elected inUKhistory, Corrigan hopes this will break the misunderstanding of Selby being a sleepy town with old-fashioned views. “It’s an honor to be the Mayor of my lovely hometown,” Corrigan told a newspaper. “I plan on using the year to encourage children and young people to champion their communities.”The politics student’s election has been supported whole heartedly by the politicians she has worked with throughout her early-developing career, including thebackingof former deputy Prime Minister (副首相) John Prescott. Simon Darvill said in an interview, “I hope that the success of Rosie and others like her encourages more young people to get involved in politics and change where they live for the better.”1. Which statement is true according to Paragraph 2?A. Corrigan is new to the political scene of Selby.B. Corrigan became interested in politics in childhood.C. Corrigan has been living in Selby since she was born.D. Corrigan founded the Selby Youth council by herself.2. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. Corrigan plans to further her time in office by at least a year.B. The people of Selby are passive and have out-of-date views.C. Corrigan is the youngest person ever elected inUKhistory.D. Corrigan intends to increase Selby’s youth’spolitical involvement.3. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “backing” in Paragraph 4?A. ApprovalB. AppreciationC. PraiseD. SupportBChancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said yesterday he would use the autumn spending review to increase Britain’s£12bn-a-year aid budget towards humanitarian(人道主义的) causes in the wake of the European refugee(难民) crisis.Britainpromised to spend 0.7 percent of state general product on aid, meaning the budget could rise sharply by the end of the decade as the economy grows.Mr Osborne also said more of the aid budget could be given to help local government with housing costs for incomers, without breaking international guidelines.“We will use the foreign aid budget to help with the costs of these refugees. People ask about the pressure on public services; we’ll have extra money to help with that.”The government was unable to give a figure for how much aid money could be handed to local authorities: it would depend on how many refugees are accepted.David Cameron, Prime Minister, will set out his position on aid for refugees today. It is reported thatBritainwill accept at least 10,000 extra people from camps on theSyriaborder. He will use a statement in the House of Commons to flesh out plans — announced inMadridon Friday — to take more people.A report inThe Sunday Timesthat the UK would take 15,000 Syrians, not far from the 18,000 figure demanded by the EU, was described by “Downing Street” as a “guess”.TheUKwill offer to resettle Syrians directly from refugee camps inJordan,LebanonandTurkey— but not those who have already reached the EU.4. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Britain tried to help refugees.B. People doubtBritain’s kindness.C. Britain tried to explain its behavior.D. Refugees like to live inBritain.5. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A. Britain’s economy grows rapidly.B. Britain will use little of its money to help refugees.C. Most countries are not willing to help refugees.D.Britainwill use more money to help refugees.6. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Britain will use foreign money to help refugees.B. Britain helps refugees following international guidelines.C. Britain will use foreign money to develop themselves.D. People ask to use public service money to help refugees.7. What can we know from the passage?A. Britain can hold 10,000 refugees at most.B. The number of refugees to be received is uncertain.C. House of Commons declare a general plan.D.Britaincan hold 15,000 refugees at most.CImagine the feeling of swinging at a baseball going 100 miles per hour—without leaving your living room, or being in race car as it roars down the track, while you are sitting on the couch.These are just some of the ways that sports business leaders say virtual reality (VR) will revolutionize how people train for and experience sports. Virtual and augmented(增强的)realities are together known as mixed reality (MR). “American footballers are already using VR to better train their minds andread the field,” Ludden said. “This can allow players to perfect their skills without risking injury.”Canadian company D-BOX Technologies designs and produces moving seats found in cinema and theme parks. It is now moving into sports, and shows its Formula One (F1) racing simulator(模拟器). The seats stimulate the force of gravity, speed and every shaking as Fl champion Lewis Hamilton zips around city streets.A simulation seat uses pre-programed data now. Someday, though, it could use real-time information sent by the car. “They couldbroadcast live content through a network in pop-up theaters around the world,” Ludden said. Say you want to experience the true stress of a batter being up against major-league baseball pitcher. “You can have a heartbeat added to the sensation on the seat and then you can feel it, boom, boom,” Maheu explained. “When he swings and hits the ball, you can have an impact.”One day, fans around the world could physically experience every game from their favorite player in real time.Ludden said that current and near-future technology could create “augmented stadiums” for live audiences. Panasonic launched its “Smart Venue” plans which included the overlaying of graphics, advertisements, player statistics and replays on the field of play at a pro football game. “If you are seated in the cheap seats, you can see this really useful.” “Fans may someday join in stadium wide games, using the field as a virtual gaming platform,” Ludden added.8. What does the underlined phrase “read the field” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Get off the playing field.B. Build up a football court.C. Judge the situation on the field.D. Ask players to play on the spot.9. What does Maheu think audiences can do in the future baseball game?A. Enjoy live content in any theater.B. Program the simulation seats in advance.C. Control the force and speed of the baseball.D. Experience the real time game with the player.10. What does Ludden mainly describe in the last paragraph?A. The origin of VR.B. A future stadium.C. An advertisement platform.D. The expectations of audiences.11. What is the main idea of the text?A. VR can improve players' skills for sports.B. VR increases fans' joy in the baseball game.C. VR can improve sports experience for players and fans.D. VR promises a new future for football players and games.DSelf-esteem is an abstract concept, which refers to people’s beliefs about their own worth and value. American psychologist Abraham Maslow thought self-esteem was a basic human need and included self-esteem in his hierarchy of human needs. He described two different forms of “esteem”: the need for respect from others in the form of recognition, success, and admiration, and the need for self-respect in the form of self-love, self-confidence, and skill. Respect from others was believed to be more fragile and easily lost than inner self-esteem. According to Maslow, without the fulfillment of the self-esteem need, individuals will be driven to seek it and unable to grow and obtain self-realization.Basically, high self-esteem is achieved through a series of real accomplishments, which is good for people.However, the excessive high self-esteem, based more on a sense of entitlement than on any accomplishment, is considered to be less psychologically healthy. And just as self-esteem can be too high, it can also be “under-inflated”. Those having poor self-esteem do have a basis for feeling good about themselves but they may not recognize their accomplishments and actions as meaningful.To appreciate what it would be like to have high self-esteem, one can consider how they may feel about things in their lives that they value. For instance, some people really like cars. They take good care of their cars. They may even decorate the car and then show it off to other people with pride. Similarly, people with high self-esteem love, care for and feel proud of themselves. Take children for example. When they have high self-esteem, they believe they are valuable and important. They enjoy different activities and can handle criticism easily without taking it personally.People need to develop positive self-esteem. This can convince them they deserve happiness. Besides, the development of positive self-esteem increases the capacity to treat other people with respect, thus favoring a variety of interpersonal relationships and avoiding destructive ones.12. What can we infer from Abraham Maslow’s theory about self-esteem?A. Self-esteem ensures us a successful life.B. Self-esteem is essential to self-realization.C. Self-esteem means little to psychological health.D. Others’ respect is more important than self-respect.13. What does the underlined word “under-inflated” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Adequate.B. Insufficient.C. Moderate.D. Lifelong.14. How does the author explain the feelings of having high self-esteem?A. By giving examples.B. By analyzing causes.C. By providing figures.D. By making contrasts.15. Which of the following does the author support?A. Self-esteem ultimately leads to happiness.B. Self-esteem earns you respect from others.C. Positive self-esteem benefits people’s social lives.D. Positive self-esteem helps people out of difficulties.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。

The fires were driven by high winds,moving as many as ten miles a day.Many small animals died in the flames.The fires’ rapid advances gave the wildlife little chance to escape. Even today,few of these small forest animals have returned to live in the park. In the years immediately following the fires,the numbers of visitors declined rapidly.No one was interested in seeing a blackened and treeless park on vacation.Yellowstone had previously been famous for its amazing views and unique geological formations such as the geyser Old Faithful. But now its reputation as America's wonder is damaged permanently.46.Natural Burn was adopted because some forest fires wereA.hard to put out B.started by lightningC.good for the balance of nature D.approved by National Park Service47.The big fire in Yellowstone in 1988 .A.became out of control at first B.destroyed the park completelyC.was allowed to burn continuously D.brought the natural burn policy to an end48.Why were so many animals killed in the big fire?A.Because winds were blown from high places.B.Because the animals moved only ten miles a day.C.Because the animals lived in lower places.D.Because strong winds contributed to the fire a lot.49.Yellowstone was famous for its .A.rare animals B.unique plants C.beautiful scenery D.little streams50.The text probably comes from .A.a science fiction B.a news reportC.a commercial ad D.a geography magazineCDo you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us,shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me.it's something I would rather avoid.Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs,electrical items,even food,from the comfort of your sofa.But that’s not the only reason:price is an important factor.We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy.This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”.Showrooming is something I've done.I will go to a shop to see,touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock—down price.I'm not alone in doing this.Research by a company called Foolproof,found 24%of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2021.Amy Cashman,Head of Technology at TNS UK,says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time,lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.”She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change.They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in—store discounts or free girls.We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare.It’s good to speak to a real hu man rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming,you get the best of both worlds!51.The two questions in Paragraph l are raised toA.introduce the topic B.give two examplesC.compare different opinions D.get answers from readers52.What does showrooming mean in the text?A.Trying in shops and buying online.B.Showing products in a room.C.Buying something in a store.D.Shopping on the Internet.53.According to Amy Cashman,which is not the reason for showrooming?A.The lack of time.B.The comfort of the sofa.C.The shortness of money.D.The security of the product.54.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 ?A.Online shops will disappear.B.Free gifts will surely promote sales.C.Shops need necessary changes.D.Shops will be replaced by online shops.55.The author's attitude towards showrooming isA.critical B.neutral C.supportive D.casualDToday,we are told,children don’t spend enough time in the fresh air.Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV—they seem to be living in a virtual world.They have lost touch with nature.But now 400 organizations in the UK,from playgroups to the National Health Service,are encouraging children to have some “wild time”.They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside.Activities such as building dens, climbing trees,rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city,they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad.They need to be shown what to do and where to go.Andy Simpson from National Health Service says,“We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development,independence and creativity,by giving wild time a go”.So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now,it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground” is what modern children need.David Bond from Project Wild Thing says,“We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine,freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”.This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe,like me,it’s made you think about sticking on your boots,getting outdoors and reliving your childhood.There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself! 56.What is the best title of the text?A.Wild time for children B.Benefits of wild timeC.More space for children D.Adventures of children57.Children are encouraged to do the following activities exceptA.building dens B.climbing treesC.playing hide and seek D.watching TV58.According to Andy Simpson,we know thatA.wild time is hard to design B.wild time is beneficial for childrenC.parents know the importance of wild time D.parents like keeping their children indoors 59.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4 ?A.Modem children need wild time.B.Adults value outdoor activities.C.The present world is complicated.D.This generation of kids have no freedom.60.The last paragraph suggests thatA.people like recalling the past B.it is out of date to go outdoorsC.it is too late for adults to enjoy nature D.people at any age can enjoy wild timeEResearchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes.“Shoes convey useful information about their wearers,’’the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality.Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style,cost,color and condition of someone’s shoes.In the study,63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study’s participants.Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes,and then filled out a personality questionnaire.Some of the results were expected:People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes,and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people.However,some of the more specific results are strange enough.For example,“practical and functional’’ shoes were generally worn by more “pleasant"people,while ankle boots were more linked with ‘‘aggressive’’personalities.The strangest of all may be that those who wore ‘‘uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them,you may suffer from “attachment anxiety",spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主张变革的)types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities,but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.61.What does this text mainly tell us?A.Shoes Call hide people’s real personalities.B.Shoes convey false information about the wearer.C.People’s personalities call be judged by their shoes.D.People know little about their personalities.62.The participants were asked toA.provide pictures of their shoes B.look at pictures of different shoesC.design a personality questionnaire D.hand in their commonly worn shoes63.Which of the results is beyond people’s expectation?A.Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes.B.Pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes.C.Aggressive people are likely to weal ankle boots.D.Flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people.64.People suffering from “attachment anxiety” tend toA.wear strange shoes B.worry about their appearanceC.have a calm character D.become a political leader65.The author wrote the text in order toA.inform us of a new study B.introduce a research methodC.teach how to choose shoes D.describe different personalities第Ⅱ卷(共45分)第三部份书面表达(共两节。

2021年德州市第一中学高三英语月考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhen the weather is bad or when the flu breaks out, we can let the kids do some fun things at home, which can be beneficial to kids.Reading out loudIf your children are young enough, don't forget to read books to them out loud! Few children dislikehaving a good book read to them, and it's great for the development of their brains. However, if your children are a bit older and have moved onto more advanced books, there is always the choice of listening to an audiobook. This can also be done while they're doing something else.Playing board gamesMaybe your children's table is full of board games, which have been forgotten for a long time. It's a good time to bring them out when playing outside is no longer a choice. Surely, playing board games is a great way to connect with children. In addition, many board games are designed to get children thinking!Having a dance partyConsidering that all you need is a speaker or maybe just a phone, you can have a dance party wherever you are! This is a great way to get kids’ bodies moving when they are inside. Play some of your children's favorite music and let them dance to it. Not only is it good exercise, but it will help your children feel time is flying!Doing jigsaw (拼图) puzzlesFor most people that have children, it's common to have at least one jigsaw puzzle at home. Jigsaw puzzles are great because everyone can do them on their own time. Besides, your whole family will have a sense of achievement when everyone is smiling over the finished product.1. What do reading out loud and playing board games have in common?A. They both develop children's team spirit.B. They both improve children's listening ability.C. They both do good to children's thinking ability.D. They both focus on interaction between children.2. Which of the following combines exercise and music?A. Reading out loud.B. Playing board games.C. Doing jigsaw puzzles.D. Having a dance party.3. What is the purpose of the text?A. To list four interesting children's parties.B. To recommend four children's favorite books.C. To introduce some activities for children inside.D. To show some funny things for children outside.BResearchers at CU Boulder have developed a wearable device that changes the human body into a biological battery. The device is stretchy(弹性的) enough that you can wear it like a ring, sport band or any other thing that touches your skin. It also taps into a person's natural heat-employing thermoelectric generators to change the body's internal temperature into electricity. "In the future, we want to be able to power your wearable electronics without having to include a battery," said Jianliang Xiao, an associate professor at CU Boulder.The concept may sound like something out of The Matrix film series, in which a race of robots have enslaved humansto harvest their precious organic energy. Xiao and his colleagues aren't that ambitious: Their devices can generate about 1 volt (伏特) of energy for every square centimeter of skin space-less volt per area than what most existing batteries provide but stillenough to power electronics like watches or fitness trackers.Scientists have previously experimented with similar wearable devices, but Xiao's is stretchy, can heal itself when damaged and is fully recyclable-making it a cleaner alternative to traditional electronics. "Whenever you use a battery, you're depleting(消耗) that battery and will, eventually, need to replace it," Xiao said. "The nice thing about our device is that you can wear it, and it provides you with constant power."Just pretend that you're out for a jog. As you exercise, your body heats up, and thatheat will radiate out to the cool air around you. Xiao's device captures that flow of energy rather than let it go to waste. "The thermoelectric generators are in close contact with the human body, and they can use the heat that would normally be sent into the environment," Xiao said.4. What does Xiao expect of his device at present?A. It will be used for medical purposes.B. It will be made smaller and wearable.C. It will change natural power into electricity.D. It will supply constant power to wearable devices.5. Why does the author mentionThe Matrixseries in the text?A. To give an explanation.B. To make a comparison.C. To introduce a topic.D. To analyze the cause.6. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. The strengths of Xiao's device.B. The convenience of using a battery.C. The replacement of wearable devices.D. The development of traditional electronics.7. What do we know about Xiao's device from the text?A. It operates with plenty of power.B. It is designed for practical use.C. It benefits people's health in a way.D. It's based on traditional electronics.CAn unmanned Chinese spacecraft left the earth on a trip to the planet Mars on Thursday. The launch(发射)marks the start of one of China's most important space explorations. China's national space agency launched the spacecraft called Tianwen-1 fromthe Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Center on Hainan Island.The name Tianwen means “Questions to Heaven” in Chinese. The spacecraft took off on China's largest carrier rocket, the Long March 5, and about 36 minutes later, the spacecraft, including an orbiter(轨道飞行器)and a rover(漫游车),was sent into the Earth-Mars orbit. It is expected to reach the orbit of the red planet next February. Tianwen-1 will finish three scientific goals—orbiting the red planet, landing on the Mars and sending a rover to the landing site.Tianwen-1 carries several scientific instruments to observe the planet's atmosphere and surface. It will do a series of scientific researches on the planet's soil, geological structure, environment, atmosphere and water. Besides its daily work of exploring the surface of Mars for 90 days, it will also report back to the earth about its experiences on the red planet, which is millions of miles away. According to experts, discovering signs of life will be its first and most important scientific goal.Tianwen-1's successful landing will make China the second nation to place a spacecraft on Mars. The United States has landed eight vehicles on Mars since 1976. China will be the first to successfully orbit, land and place a vehicle in the same mission. This is China's first independent mission to Mars. The task in 2011 failed when aRussian rocket carrying a Chinese orbiter had problems after launch, and was unable to escape the Earth orbit. Last year, China's Chang e-4 spacecraft became the first to make a landing on the far side of the moon.8. When will Tianwen-1 enter the orbit of Mars?A. 36 minutes later.B. Next Thursday.C. In 90 days.D. Next February.9. What is the main task of Tianwen-1 according to experts?A. Orbiting the Mars.B. Landing on the Mars.C. Discovering signs of life.D. Sending a rover to the landing site.10. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the text?A. Tianwen-1 is the second vehicle landed on the Mars.B. The United States is the first to land vehicles on the Mars.C. Russia helped China place Tianwen-1 on the Mars.D. Chang,e-4 was the first to make a landing on the moon.11. Where can you find this article?A. In a newspaper.B. In a diary.C. In a sci-fi novel.D. In a guide book.DThe shade of a single tree can provide welcome relief from the hot summer sun. But when that single tree is part of a small forest, it creates a considerable cooling effect. According to a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, trees play a big role in keeping our cities cool.According to the study, the right amount of tree cover can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. And the effect is quite noticeable from neighborhood to neighborhood, even down to the scale of a single city block. “We knew that cities are warmer than the surrounding countryside, but we found that temperatures vary just as much within cities,” says Monica Turner, a professor in the department of Integrative Biology, Wisconsin-Madison University and a co-author of the study.With climate change making extreme heat events more common each summer, city planners are working on how to prepare. Heat waves drive up energy demands and costs and can have big human health impacts. One potentially powerful tool, the study's authors say, are organisms that have been around long before human civilizations could appreciate their leafy benefits. And those trees may be the secret to keeping the places we live livable.Essentially, says Turner, roads, sidewalks and buildings absorb heat from the sun during the day and slowly release that heat at night. Trees, on the other hand, not only shade those surfaces from the sun's rays, they also release water into the air through their leaves, a process that cools things down.To get the maximum benefit of this cooling service, the study found that tree cover must be more than 40 percent. In other words, an aerial picture of a single city block would need to be nearly half-way covered by a leafy green network of branches and leaves.12. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Temperatures in cities mainly depend on their green coverage.B. People living and working in cities must plant trees in summer.C. Cities are warmer than the countryside because they don't have trees.D. An area with more trees can be cooler than the other parts within a city.13. Which of the following problems is caused by extreme heat events?A. Severe damage of city facilities.B. Serious human health problems.C. Residents' growing demands for plants.D. Unnecessary waste of energy resources.14. Why are trees crucial to cities?A. They help shade and cool the cities.B. They make urban scenery beautiful.C. They build up city cooling systems.D. They essentially block and release heat.15. What can city planners conclude from the study?A. They should publish the study in a newspaper.B. They should educate citizens to protect forests.C. They should plant trees on roads and sidewalks.D. They should cover nearly half the city with trees.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。

One was about the Bush family who had just lost their five-year-old son to accident. His mother was in deep sorrow. Could Dorry help the mother?That message and the 20 or so others like it were exactly what Dorry was looking for. To celebrate her 61st, the retired teacher had put out a call on her blog. She wanted to commit 30 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who are in need of them. When she got the note about the Bush family, she sent a wind chime(风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am here with you” written on it. It now hangs in the five-year-old’s bedroom, where his sad mother can go to listen to it whenever she wants.It is not the first time that Dorry has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 54th birthday in 2016, she founded Love in Action, an organization committed to doing something good in her city. Its aim is simple: Do Your Best, Show Your Love!Over the years, the organization has reached out and touched well over 50 strangers, some found via Dorry’s blog, others with help from her grandkids. The organization also shares inexpensive and creative gift ideas for others to help people in need.Dorry pays for everything herself: gift cards pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages, as well as the gas it takes to play fairy. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning against spending it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores.“I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and was like ‘YESSS!”It’s Dorry’s party, and I’ll give if I wants to.4. What were the unusual messages Dorry got on her 61st birthday?A. Gift ideas.B. Help requests.C. Donation offers.D. Birthday wishes.5. What does Dorry’s wind chime want to convey?A. Don’t cry.B. Time flies.C. You are not alone.D. You should be patient.6. What can we know about Love in Action?A. It recruits people interested in charity.B. It holds the belief that kindness pays off.C. It mainly aims to educate others to help out.D. It offers aid within Dorry’s neighborhood.7. Why does Dorry’s family give her warnings?A. She thinks little of her grandkids.B. She treats strangers better than her family.C. She is financially dependent on her family.D. She is too ready to give away her birthday gifts.CPetrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads, but their days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2025.One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers’ concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. In fact, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars met with distrust, and their high price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics. Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion (内燃) engine models a run for their money.As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the sea and sky. Electric boats are among the oldest electric vehicles, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric planes are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US to act on the study's findings and replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to becompletely emission-free.Even so, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.8. What does the underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. aimB. barrierC. consequenceD. step9. In the past, why was the electric cars refused according to the passage?A. They were very poorly made.B. They were not worth the price.C. They were not widely promoted.D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.10. What is Paragraph 4 used for?A. To introduce the history of electric vehicles.B. To explain the world needs more electric cars.C. To show more people have interest in electric cars.D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.11. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A. My Dream Car journeyB. History of Electric CarsC. Problems with Petrol CarsD. Driving into the FutureDPsychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture.Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in a country where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food.Unfortunately, after we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture.The third stage comes when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor.The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. You can cope with most problems that occur. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don’t know about. This is called “reverse culture shock”. Surprisingly, this occurs when you go back to your native culture and find that you have changed and that things there have changed while you have been away. Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home. Life is a struggle!12. When does culture shock happen?A. When you reach your teens.B. When you begin an urban life.C. When you go to live in a foreign culture.D. When you meet foreign people for the first time.13. How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock?A. Happy and excitedB. Bored and homesickC. Lonely and depressedD. Angry and frustrated14. How could the third stage be described?A. AdjustmentB. RejectionC. EnthusiasmD. Embarrassment15. Why might reverse culture shock be a problem?A. It hardly ever happens.B. It is extremely stressful.C. It is out of expectation.D. It only happens to young people.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

If a driver makes any of these offences, the points will be recorded. When the driver gets, a certain number of points, he will be forbidden to drive for a certain amount of time.What are the purposes of this system?This is a system designed to make roads safer.

Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers.Do their unchanged styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.49.Designers and big stores always make money_____.A.by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry B.because they are capable of predicting the new fashionC.by constantly changing the fashion in women’s clothingD.because they always improve the quality of women’s clothing 50.To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dress is seen as_____.A.a quality of instability B.a waste of time and moneyC.an expression of taste D.an expression of creativity 51.The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the_____.A.cost B.appearance C.fort D.suitability 52.By saying “ the conclusions to be drawn are obvious”, the writer means that_____.A.women’s changeableness in their choice of clothing was often laughe d atB.women are better able to put up with disfortC.men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD.men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion答题纸班级:姓名:V.单词拼写(每小题1分,共计11分)53.

I’ve consulted several travel experts to find out the top places in the USA worth visiting in 2020.Where: New Orleans, LouisianaWhy: New Orleans is known for its music and food scene-not to mention the festivals. It has about 130 festivals each year so there’s really no bad time to visit. Bourbon Street is the obvious choice for food, drink and jazz and it’s definitely a must-visit location, especially for first-timers to the city.Where: Vail Village, ColoradoWhy: Vail is the perfect destination for travelers looking to find almost everything in one central spot. Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail to be steps away from Vail Village, a popular town with cobblestone (鹅卵石) streets for wandering leisurely. The country’s largest free transportation system runs frequently, making it easy to access almost anywhere from Vail Village to Lionshead Village.Where: Hudson Valley, New YorkWhy: The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go to escape the city when they need a healthy dose of nature and relaxation. Just an hour and half north of New York City, the Hudson Valley is made up of small, impossibly charming towns, where the air is fresher and things do move slower in the mountains.1.You can enjoy different things in New Orleans except ________.A.scenery B.music C.festivals D.food 2.Which place would you prefer if you like wandering leisurely?A.Bourbon Street. B.Vail Village.C.Lionshead Village. D.New Orleans.3.What can New Yorkers enjoy in the Hudson Valley?A.Ancient towns. B.Healthy diets.C.Slow movement. D.Inner peace.Twenty years ago, I became involved in pet therapy (治疗) work. As digging deeperinto the job, I had an urge to be a recorder of their daily work to let more and more people know their efforts and contributions. After all, they could not say our languages. It was when I got familiar with the work that I got my golden retriever puppy (金毛寻回犬), whom I named Angel. As she matured and went through obedience training, I realized that she would be a good partner.Angel is ten now and still works every week. As a rule, she visits two hospitals, a day care for the elderly, and our library’s PAWS for Reading program. Angel has also helped out at a children’s special-needs camp. She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her, especially the kids she has worked with.We have seen some very special things through our pet therapy work. I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was completely paralyzed (瘫痪的) on her right side from a stroke. One day, my husband, Jack asked her if she wanted to give Angel a treat. She nodded and gently took the treat, raised her right hand and started petting Angel. Her friend was in the room and said, “She hasn’t been able to move that hand since she had her stroke!”Somehow it seems appropriate that when Angel visits the hospital, she also performs tricks for the patients with her paws. The best one is when she crouches on the floor and crosses her paws. She stays still and doesn’t move until Jack says “Best wishes”. It’s the best wishes for all the people Angel meets as well as for her.4.Why does the author want to be a recorder?A.Pets cannot record themselves. B.Pets should be highly praised.

D.She played tricks on her.7.What is the best title for the passage?A.A loyal dog. B.Selfless love.C.A silent angel. D.Great devotion.When you really love a book, or have just scored a new one that you’re dying to read,it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones aren’t cheap, either. Sometimes, you’d just rather have a portable paperback—but if it’s a new book you’re after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why are books released as hardcovers first?Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass production, print runs were limited, and books were hard-bound and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with a huge surge in reading as a leisure activity around World War II. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today.Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has persisted. Because of its history, it conveys a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does.” The hardback is a mark of quality…it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,” Philip Jones, editor at the Bookseller, explains to The Guardian.But the major reason why books come out as hardeovers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The Economist compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD.“Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,” according to The Economist. And because they’re profitable, publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback equivalent but do not cost twice as much to produce,” Jones explains. 8.What can we learn about hardcover books from paragraph1?A.They appeal to real book-lovers. B.They are heavy but not expensive. C.They take a long time to come out. D.They are not preferred by book-lovers. 9.What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Drop. B.Success. C.Blow. D.Increase. 10.Why are hardback books still printed today?A.They are brilliantly edited. B.They are worth collecting.C.They convey correct information. D.They sell better than paperbacks. 11.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To introduce hardcover books. B.To present a new social finding.C.To explain a confusing problem. D.To encourage people to read books.The World Wildlife Fund for Nature - WWF - reports that nearly 3 billion animals were killed or displaced by Australia’s wildfires in 2019 and 2020. The number, reported in late July, was about three times higher than an earlier WWF estimate. “It ranks as one of the worst wildlife disasters in modern history,” said WWF - Australia Chief Executive officer Dermot O’ Gorman.The WWF said it used different methods to estimate wildlife populations, including information from over 100, 000 studies. The scientists created models to estimate the number of creatures found in areas destroyed by fire. Project leader Lily Van Eeden from the University of Sydney said the research was the first continent - wide examination of animals affected by wildfires. “Other nations can build upon this research to improve understanding of bushfire impacts everywhere,” she said.Those creatures that fled destroyed habitats faced a lack of food and shelter or the likelihood of moving into already occupied habitats. Researchers said the destruction will cause some species to become extinct before their existence is even recorded. “We don’t even know what we are losing,” said Chris Dickman, a professor of ecology at the University of Sydney. “These were species that were here and now they have gone. . . It’s almost too tragic to think about,” Dickman added.The WWF report calls for improvements in habitat connectivity to help species escape from fires. It also calls for identifying and protecting habitat that was not burned to help save threatened species. An expanded report on the study is expected later this year.The wildfires started in September 2019 and continued through March of this year. Scientists say the fires were fueled by higher than normal temperatures and years of drought in the Australian bush. The fires caused 34 human deaths and destroyed nearly 3, 000 homes. The WWF said that over the past year, it had raised money from donors to allocate emergency aid to the front lines of the fires to help injured and displaced wildlife.12.What do we know about Australia’s wildfires in 2019 and 2020?A.They were the worst disasters in history.B.Over 3 billion animals died in the wildfires.C.They caused more damage than calculated earlier.D.Most animals moved to already occupied habitats.13.How did Chris Dickman feel about the extinction of some species?

D.Puzzled.14.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The wildfires last a whole year.B.The wildfires were caused by the heat.C.The wildfires also cause damages to humans.D.The wildfires were soon under control with donations.15.What lesson can we learn from the text?A.Humans shouldn’t occupy wildlife habitat.B.Humans shouldn’t overestimate the bushfire.C.We should raise money for wildlife protection.D.We should develop the methods to prevent wildfires.二、七选五Being laughed at or joked about can happen no matter what language you are learning. 16.However experts say there are ways to overcome those feelings. So on Education Tips today, we offer suggestions from a few teachers.Relax; be patient with yourselfOshiberu says to remind yourself that you are learning the language, so it is normal to make mistakes. 17.She also suggests learners avoid setting learning goals that are too strict, which can sometimes become a barrier rather than help.Practice your speaking skillsBoth Melendez and Oshiberu say practice is one of the best ways to deal with fear.18.In a role play, two or more people act out an imaginary situation; for example, going to a market or talking to a bus driver. You can imagine, for example, your friend is a bus driver. You have a lot of questions about taking the bus. You can practice the questions on your friend.19.If you are worried about what to do in the moment when someone makes a joke,the solution can be simple: Kindly ask the person the reason for the laughter, like this, says Melendez:“‘Is there a different way that I could have said it?’ or ‘How would you usually say it?’”Keep a sense of humorKeeping a sense of humor can make the long process of learning a language more fun. You might even laugh with the person who is laughing or making the joke. 20.A.Don’t be afraid to ask questions.B.Never fear making any mistakes.C.Melendez suggests doing role plays.D.It is good to practise in certain situations.E.She advises not to be too hard on yourself.F.This may feel strange at first but gets easier with time.G.And it may make some learners nervous about speaking their new language.三、完形填空My journey to isolation (隔离) was somewhat accidental.I saw an advertisement for a job as a leader for an expedition (探险) to Antarctica-and I have to 21 it was the penguin in the ad that 22 my attention.
