湖南省长沙市第一中学2023-2024学年高三上学期月考试卷(一)英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Dramatic progress has been witnessed in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which benefits from those great contributions some ancient famous doctors made ant some experience they accumulated. The following three stand out among the ancient famous doctors.Hua TuoHua Tuo (145—208), famous physician of the late Eastern Han dynasty, also named Fu, was born at Qiao County in Peiguo (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). He led a simple life, away from fame and fortune. He would rather become a traveling physician for ordinary people.Hua Tuo was an expert in several medical fields, such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and acupuncture. He was the first person to perform surgery with the aid of anesthesia (by applying Ma Fei San, a herbal anesthetic he invented) some 1,600 years before Europeans did.Zhang ZhongjingZhang Zhongjing (150—219), also known as Zhang Ji, was one of the most distinguished Chinese physicians during the later years of the Eastern Han dynasty. He lived in today’s Nanyang in Henan Province. He was known as the “medical sage” by later generations due to his outstanding contributions to TCM.During his time, with warlords (军阀) fighting for their own territories, many people were infected with fertility, an illness caused by fever. Zhang’s family was no exception. The experience stimulated his motivation in medicine. He learned medicine by studying from his town’s fellow Zhan Bozu, absorbing previous medicinal literature, collecting many prescriptions; and finally writing the medical masterpiece Shanghan Zabing Lun. Unfortunately shortly after its publication the book was lost during wartime.Li ShizhenLi Shizhen (1518—1593) was a famous medical scientist the Ming dynasty. He loved medicine from an early age and succeeded his ancestors as a doctor. He not only paidattention to accumulating experience in curing diseases, but also visited the famous mountains where medicinal materials were produced.On this basis, it took 27 years to compile (编著) the pharmaceutical masterpiece, Compendium of Materia Medica, which is known as the “Encyclopedia of Ancient China” and has made an important contribution to the development of classical medicine China. 1.What do the three famous doctors mentioned in the passage have in common?A.Their books never come out.B.They travelled extensively across China.C.They led the way worldwide in their own expertsD.They contributed themselves to the development of TCM.2.What can we learn from the passage?A.Hua Tuo was desperate for reputation and fortune.B.Li Shizhen came from a family of doctors.C.Li Shizhen survived Zhang Zhongjing by 9 years.D.Zhang Zhongjing’s medical masterpiece vanished before published.3.In which section of a magazine may this passage appear?A.Healthy lifestyles.B.Daily entertainment.C.Historical figures.D.Fitness management.On March 25, 2010, Kate and David Ogg heard the words every parent fears: Their newborn wasn’t going to make it. Their twins -- a girl and a boy -- were born two minutes apart and exactly 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds respectively. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minute but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.“I saw him gasp (大口嘴气), but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up easily.”Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.“I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us, ” Kate told Today. “We’d resigned ourselves the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments.”Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his Shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition they then talked to him.“We were trying to let him stay, ” Kate told the Daily Mail. “We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and that how hard we had tried to have him.”Then something unbelievable happened. Jamie gasped again and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father’s finger.The couple’s lost boy had made it.“We’re the luckiest people in the world,” David told Today. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth. “Emily hardy-held back her tears,” Kate said, “and she kept hugging Jamie with great affection. This whole experience makes you cherish them more.” “They widened their eyes as if there were an apple in their mouths bearing the miraculous experience,” David added. 4.What can we learn about the twins?A.They totally weighed less than 4 pounds.B.They have been in bad condition since birth.C.The couple attempted to save the boy but in vain.D.They came to the world nearly100 days earlier than expected.5.Which is the correct order of the following events?a. The dying boy went back to normal.b. The couple gave the boy a skin-to-skin contact.c. The couple made the case for his name to the boy.d. Doctors announced the approaching death of the boy.A.d-a-c-b B.d-b-c-a C.c-b-a-d D.d-c-a-b 6.How did Emily feel when told the story or their birth?A.Touched and challenged.B.Sad and confused.C.Astonished and bored.D.Surprised and moved.7.Which is a suitable title for the passage?A.A life-giving touch.B.A successful medical attention.C.A test from the God.D.First-time but devoted parents.We are all aware of the damaging pollution that’s created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world’s cities are jammed with traffic, creating poisonous gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be?There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done?The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol. Here are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into.Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: “The big leap forward will come with solid-state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress cars. These will charge more quickly, and give cars a a bigger range.”Cost is another issue that may deter people switching to electric power. But some countries offer encouraging measures, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the Country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1,000 inhabitants.But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future. 8.What makes global traffic difficult to be totally electric according to the second paragraph?A.A ban of the UK government.B.Lack of petrol.C.The small number of charging points.D.A low battery quality.9.According to Colin Herron, what can we learn?A.Solid-state batteries will allow electric cars to travel farther.B.Electric cars will indeed make for a zero-carbon future.C.Solid-state batteries will be initially employed in electric cars.D.Big progress has been made in laptops and mobile phones.10.What does the underlined word “deter” mean in the fourth paragraph?A.Block.B.Suggest.C.Leave.D.Catch.11.What will be most probably talked about next?A.The huge potential of electric cars.B.The unfavorable future of electric cars.C.The eagerness for a zero-carbon future.D.The reasons for not achieving a zero-carbon future.For most people, death is hard to think about. We tend to avoid the subject—involuntarily, even. The philosopher Stephen Cave offers one explanation for this avoidance in his 2012 book, Immorality. “Death,” he writes, “presents itself as both inevitable and impossible.” You can know rationally that you will die, yet struggle to understand your nonexistence. Put another way, you cannot be conscious of your own consciousnesses.So we dismiss death form our thoughts. But this leads us to make choice in life that actually reduce our happiness. People who express more regrets tend to be those who postpone profound activities that yield meaning, such as appreciating beauty or spending more time with loved ones. When we avoid thoughts of death, we unconsciously assume that tomorrow will look a lot like today, so we can do tomorrow what we could today. But when we focus on death, that increases the stakes at play in the present, and clarifies what we should do with our time.By forcing ourselves to think about death, our resources-use decisions change. I ask my 20-something graduate students to estimate how many Thanksgivings they realistically have left with their parents, and then to consider how they should spend those remaining occasions. This usually simulates a strong emotional reaction. But it can also alter such decisions as where they choose to live and work. This highlights that facing discomfort and thinking seriously about the impermanence of your mortal life are important for making decisions that enhance your happiness.There are other benefits. For example, paradoxical though it may seem, considering death can encourage positive thinking, as researchers found in 2007. People prepared to think about their death tended to focus on favorable emotional information around them, and to interpret random words in a pleasanter way. You begin to think extremely clearly, and realize that you have a choice about how to see present moment—and choose the positive.If you insist ignoring your own death, you are likely to make decisions that cause you to sleepwalk through life. You may not be dead yet, but you are not fully alive either. If you canlook across that border with resolve and confidence, you will experience every day fully and deeply.12.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A.People’s fear of death.B.People’s escape from death.C.People’s acceptance of death.D.People’s struggle against death. 13.What will happen to us if we don’t focus on death?A.Enjoying a lot more happiness.B.Taking better advantage of time.C.Postponing big things until tomorrow.D.Engaging in more meaningful activities.14.What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning his graduate students?A.To argue for the changes in making big decisions.B.To show doubts about facing discomfort of death.C.To compare students’ different attitudes to death.D.To argue against the necessity of considering death.15.What does the author suggest readers do in the passage?A.Avoid thinking about your death.B.Live a better life by ignoring death.C.Step away from death and live better.D.Think about your death and live better.二、七选五Report reveals CIA behind “Color Revolutions”Recently, the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center released a report entitled Empire of Hacking: The US Central Intelligence Agency. 16 .According to statistics, the CIA has intervened (干预) in or attempted to overthrow at least 50 legitimate (合法的) governments and caused unrest in numerous other countries over the years, 17 . Examples of these interventions include the collapse of the socialist camp in the 1980s, the “Velvet Revolution”, “Rose Revolution”, “Orange Revolution”, “Tulip Revolution”, and “Snow Revolution” in various countries, and the “Green Revolution” and “Arab Spring”. Analyzing these events reveals that the successful organization of such “ColorRevolutions” depends on the use of communication and command technologies, in which the US is a leading power.18 . This facilitated the technological advances for US intelligence agencies to carry lout “Color Revolutions” abroad. The Internet also played a major role in the “Arab Spring”, with certain US-based multinational Internet companies actively intervening in the form of disinformation, support for anti-government actions, and other methods. 19 . Twitter and Google quickly created “Speak2Tweet” to help anti-government personnel in countries like Egypt and Tunisia maintain contact with the outside world. RAND developed “stampede”, a system that allowed proprietors to connect to the Internet, resulting in improved on-site command for demonstrations “RIOT”, a software that supports independent wireless broadband and anti-jamming Wi-Fi, was also developed to avoid censorship (审查) and surveillance (监视).The US Department of State also invested more than $ 30 million in the research and development of anti-censorship systems. 20 .A.though it has only admitted to sevenB.The Internet developed rapidly at that timeC.since these countries conducted “Color Revolutions”D.The US led the promotion of the Internet to the international market in the 1980sE.That the CIA has been secretly conducting “Color Revolutions” around the world for a long time is reportedF.Therefore, the CIA conducted several “Color Revolutions” worldwide with the help of these tools and technologiesG.These companies also provided encrypted (加密的) network communication services, such as TOR, to avoid censorship and surveillance三、完形填空faces.

上海市七宝中学2024-2025学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题一、语法填空Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soliders, while the people 1 (help) civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat or calculated the length of the year, or manured (施肥) a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers.People think a great deal of them, so much that on all the highest pillars (纪念柱) in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a solider. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are 2 that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not 3 (civilized). Animals fight; so 4 savages (野蛮人); so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently — this, after all, is 5 conquerors and generals have done — is not being civilized. People fight 6 (settle) quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side 7 kill off greater number of the other side, and then saying that the side which has killed most 8 (win). It means 9 (say) that power is right.This is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars,10 millions of people were killed or disabled. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life-nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.二、选词填空Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family leave starting in 2011. I wasn’t surprised when this didn’t make the news here in the United States - we’re now the only wealthy country without such a policy.The United States does have one explicit family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993. It 11 workers to as much as 12 week’s unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem. Despite the 12 of the benefit, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly, describing it as “government-run personnel management” and a “dangerous precedent (先例)”. In fact, every step of the way, as (usually) Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-family balance measures into the law, business groups have been strongly 13 .As Yale law professor Anne Alstott, argues, 14 parental support depends on defining the family as a social good that, in some sense, society must pay for. Parents are 15 in many ways in their lives: there is “no exit” when it comes to children. Society expects parents to provide their children with continuity of care, meaning the 16 and intimate care that human beings need to develop their intellectual, emotional and moral capabilities. And society expects parents to persist in their roles for 18 years, or longer if needed.While most parents do this out of love, there are public punishments for not providing care. What parents do, in other words, is of deep 17 to the state, for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only 18 urgent but important to the future of society. The state recognizes this in the large body of family laws that govern children’s welfare, yet parents receive little help in meeting the life-changing obligations society 19 . To classify parenting as apersonal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting, really, it is to steal those benefits because they accrue (累积) to the whole of society as today’s children become tomorrow’s citizens. In fact, by some 20 , the value of parental investments in children, investments of time and money, is equal to 20%-30% of GDP. If these investments bring huge social benefits-as they clearly do-the benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer.三、完形填空Before 1815 manufacturing in the United States had been done in homes or shops by skilled artisans. As master craft workers, they imparted the knowledge of their trades to apprentices (学徒) and journeymen (熟练工). 21 women often worked in their homes part-time, making finished articles from raw material supplied by merchant capitalists. After 1815 this older form of manufacturing began to 22 factories with machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers. 23 transportation networks, the rise of cities, and the availability of capital and credit all stimulated the shift to factory production.Apprentices were considered part of the family, and masters were responsible not only for teaching their apprentices a trade but also for providing them with some education and for 24 their moral behavior. Journeymen knew that if they 25 their skill, they could become respected master artisans with their own shops. Also, skilled artisans did not work by the clock.The factory changed that. Goods produced by factories were not as finished or elegant as those done by hand, and pride in craftsmanship gave way to the 26 to increase rates of productivity. The new methods of doing business involved a new and stricter sense of time. Absenteeism and lateness hurt productivity and, since work was specialized, 27 the regular factory routine. Industrialization not only produced a fundamental change in the way work was organized; it 28 the very nature of work.The first generation to experience these changes did not adopt the new attitudes easily. The factory clock became the symbol of the new work rules. One mill worker who finally 29 complained revealingly about “obedience to the ding-dong of the bell-just as though we are so many living machines.” With the 30 of personal freedom also came the loss of standingin the community. Unlike artisan workshops in which apprentices worked 31 with the masters supervising them, factories sharply separated workers from management. Few workers rose through the ranks to supervisory positions, and even well-paid workers sensed their 32 in status.In this newly emerging economic order, workers sometimes organized to protect their rights and traditional ways of life. The labor movement gathered some momentum (动力,势头) in the decade before the Panic of 1837, but in the depression that followed, labor’s strength 33 . During hard times, few workers were willing to strike or 34 collective action. And skilled craft workers, who led the union movement, did not feel a particularly strong bond with semiskilled factory workers and unskilled laborers. More than a decade of agitation (激烈争论) did finally bring a workday shortened to 10 hours to most industries by the 1850s’, and the courts also recognized workers’ right to strike, but these 35 had little immediate impact. 21.A.Otherwise B.Moreover C.However D.Therefore 22.A.give way to B.make up for C.get rid of D.end up with 23.A.Expensive B.Public C.Difficult D.Cheap 24.A.displaying B.supervising C.respecting D.predicting 25.A.shared B.assessed C.perfected D.applied 26.A.pressure B.hatred C.freedom D.disappointment 27.A.followed B.broke C.established D.fixed 28.A.ignored B.demanded C.guaranteed D.transformed 29.A.succeeded B.recovered C.quitted D.revenged 30.A.restoration B.change C.loss D.protection 31.A.closely B.efficiently C.independently D.diligently 32.A.stability B.independence C.decline D.security 33.A.maintained B.developed C.returned D.collapsed 34.A.protest against B.give up C.account for D.engage in 35.A.emphases B.limits C.evidences D.gains四、阅读理解The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-tom homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a journalist by profession.Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire.Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.36.Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently?A.Stepping on the American soil for the first time.B.Her mother’s miserable deathC.Being exposed to Greek literary works.D.Following the prettiest girl in his class. 37.It can be inferred from Paragraph Four that ________.A.Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation.B.Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching styleC.The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally firedD.Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students38.The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A.how the author became a journalist B.the importance of inspiration in one’s life C.the teacher who shaped the author’s life D.factors contributing to a successful careerWhen you first arrive in Oxford,it may take a little while for you to find your way around. The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800 years. Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike ( most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account , getting their computer and mobile phone working , finding their department, getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize.One of the major events you will experience shortly after "coming up" to Oxford is matriculation. Matriculation is held at the University's Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you , as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you . The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system, University services, information on living in Britain and culture differences, as well as addressing practical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow student.Another good thing to experience early on is college dining. Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. In this way you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many often historical college grounds and dining halls.Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like bywatching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100 Faces. 39.Which of the following is not the first thing for a newcomer to Oxford to do_______?A.to find a best place to socializeB.to set up a bank accountC.to go to the Sheldonian TheatreD.to get mobile phone working40.When do students feel they are truly admitted to Oxford University______?A.They arrived in Oxford and settled down on campus.B.They received the offer from the admission office.C.They met the staff and took some required courses.D.They experienced the matriculation in the university.41.Why is an orientation important for international students?A.It is a good chance to ask the staff for help.B.It offers practical information about living and studying.C.It helps get students' computers hooked to the Internet.D.It can help deal with the problem of culture differences.42."Return the favor"in the passage probably means___.A.inviting you for dinnerB.visiting your historic college in returnC.sharing favorite videosD.providing you with some good advice.In the college-admissions wars, we parents are the true fighters. We’re pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes to they can get into the college of our first choice. I’ve twice been to the wars, and as I survey the battlefield, something different is happening. We see our kids’ college background as a prize demonstrating how well we’ve raised them. But we can’t acknowledge that our obsession is more about us than them. So we’ve come up with various justifications that turn out to be half-truths, prejudices or myths. It actually doesn’t matter much whether Aaron and Nicole go to Stanford.We have a full-blown prestige panic; we worry that there won’t be enough prizes to goaround. Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever. Underlying the hysteria (歇斯底里) is the belief that scarce elite degrees must be highly valuable. Their graduates must enjoy more success because they get a better education and develop better contacts. All that is plausible--and mostly wrong. We haven’t found any convincing evidence that selectivity or prestige matters. Selective schools don’t systematically employ better instructional approaches than less selective schools, On two measures- professors’ feedback and the number of essay exams selective schools do slightly worse.By some studies, selective schools do enhance their graduates’ lifetime earnings. The gain is considered at 2-4% for every 100-point increase in a school’s average SAT scores. But even this advantage is probably a statistical fluke (偶然). A well-known study examined students who got into highly selective schools and then went elsewhere. They earned just as much as graduates from higher-status schools.Kids count more than their colleges. Getting into Yale may signify intelligence, talent and ambition. But it’s not the only indicator and its significance is declining. The reason: so many similar people go elsewhere. Getting into college is not life’s only competition. In the next competition--the job market and graduate school-the results may change. Old-boy networks are breaking down. Princeton economist Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph.D.program. High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in; degrees of prestigious universities didn’t.So, parents, lighten up. The stakes (风险) have been vastly exaggerated. Up to a point, we can rationalize (合理化) our pushiness. America is a competitive society; our kids need to adjust to that. But too much pushiness can be destructive. The very ambition we impose on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment. One study found that, other things being equal, graduates of highly selective schools experienced more job dissatisfaction. They may have been so conditioned to being on top that anything less disappoints. 43.Why does the author say that parents are the true fighters in the college-admissions wars?A.They have the final say in which university their children are to attend.B.They know best which universities are most suitable for their children.C.They care more about which college their children go to than the children themselves.D.They have to carry out intensive surveys of colleges before children make an application. 44.What does the author mean by “kids count more than their colleges” Line 1, para.4?A.Continuing education is more important to a person’s success.B.Kids’ actual abilities are more important than their college background.C.A person’s happiness should be valued more than their education.D.What kids learn at college cannot keep up with job market requirements.45.What does Krueger’s study tell us?A.Getting into Ph.D.programs may be more competitive than getting into college.B.Graduates from prestigious universities do not care much about their GRE scores.C.Connections built in prestigious universities may be sustained long after graduation.D.Degrees of prestigious universities do not guarantee entry to graduate programs. 46.According to the passage, one possible result of pushing children into elite universities is that ________.A.they experience more job dissatisfaction after graduationB.they earn less than their peers from other institutionsC.they turn out to be less competitive in the job marketD.they overemphasize their qualifications in job applicationDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.In business, there is a speed difference: It’s the difference between how important firm leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. 47In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.48 They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that oftenleads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. 49 And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. 50 That kind of strategy must come from the top.A.How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better?B.Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals.C.More haste, less speed, which in the study proves wrong.D.Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.E.They valued efficiency rather than consideration.F.They encouraged new ways of thinking.五、书面表达51.Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.It is found that American students spend less than 15% of their time in school. While there’s no doubt that school is important, a number of recent studies remind us that parents are even more so. A study published earlier this month by researchers at North Carolina State University, for example, finds that parental involvement-checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home — has a more powerful influence on students’ academic performance than anything about the school the students attend.So parents matter. But it is also revealed in researches that parents, of all backgrounds, don’t need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give theman advantage. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk.But not just any talk. Recent research has indicated exactly what kinds of talk at home encourage children’s success at school. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health found that two-way adult-child conversations were six times as potent in promoting language development as the ones in which the adult did all the talking.Engaging in this back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thoughts and opinions matter.The content of parents’ conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge. While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remain strong. Research finds that parents play an important role in what is called “academic socialization” — setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals. Engaging in these sorts of conversations has a greater impact on educational accomplishment._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _六、翻译52.意识到犯了大错,我马上向在场所有的人表达了诚挚的歉意。

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. However, one afternoon, I had a(n) 21 with my mother, which changed my mind eventually.We were sitting in the dining area of a local restaurant. I told her that I wanted to be 22 . She asked me why I felt that way. Surprisingly, I had never stopped to think about why I felt the need to fit in. I 23 did it.My mother told me a story.

It was surprising that many other female students at her school began wearing sweater vests after a few weeks.

广东省广州市华南师范大学附属中学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Inspired by his mentor Louis Sullivan, an influential figure in the world of modernist architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright coined the term “organic architecture” around 1908.Rather than imitating nature or organic elements within the natural world, organic architecture is more concerned with re-interpretation of nature and harmony between the organic and the built environment. It ensures that the individual elements within buildings are put together to reflect the order within nature. Here are four of the most striking examples.Casa MilàLocation: Barcelona, SpainYear of completion: 1910Architect: Antoni CaudiConsidered the greatest master of Catalan Modernism, Antoni Gaudi was devoted to nature and the Catholic religion. While he originally intended this organic building to have a religious purpose, it is now an apartment building. True to the organic style, it features honey shapes that seemingly emerge from the earth.Learning Hub at Nanyang Technological University (NTU)Location: SingaporeYear of completion: 2015Architect: Thomas HeatherwickEarning the nicknames “dim sum basket building” and “the Hive”, the Learning Hub consists of 12 eight-storey towers arranged around a public atrium (天井). The organic nature of the building extends to its interior with features like gardens that are intended to encourage social interactions and study among students.Falling WaterLocation: Mill Run, PennsylvaniaYear of completion:1939Architect: Frank Lloyd WrightA classic of modernism and organic architecture, Falling Water sits on top of a waterfall.Frank Lloyd Wright designed it for the Kaufmann family who—though they had originally hoped for a view of the waterfall-came to love the home.East Beach CaféLocation: Littlehampton, UKYear of completion: 2007Architect: Thomas HeatherwickLocated in a seaside area with an industrial history, East Beach Caféresembles a piece of driftwood. Forty meters long, seven meters wide and five meters high, it initially polarized locals, but has since been well-received by the whole community. It was the first building for Thomas Heatherwick who previously was better known as a sculptor.1.Which building was designed to serve a religious purpose?A.Casa Milà.B.Learning Hub at NTU.C.Falling Water.D.East Beach Cafe.2.What do we know about the four buildings in the text?A.They are architectural classics of modernism.B.They feature imitations of animals or elements in nature.C.East Beach Café was not welcomed by all the locals initially.D.The designer of Learning Hub at NTU invented’ the concept “organic architecture’’. 3.Which of the following magazines is the text probably taken from?A.National Geographic.B.Architectural Digest.C.Organic Gardening.D.BBC History“Dana, how are you feeling today?” I ask, my eyes clocking her dirty uniform, and the dark circles under her eyes.“OK,” Dana mumbles (嘟囔).“Have you eaten today?”She nods. Another lie.“Can I get you anything?” But what could I possibly get her? A bedroom of her own? A family with love?“No, thanks.”Her repeated absence from school recently has worn out teachers’ patience. But I don’t want to send her back to class: What use is it knowing all the square numbers and all thegrammatical rules when she has to work out how to wash, cook and decide between feeding herself or her younger sister?“A biscuit?” I offer. It works and Dana takes the biscuit I hand het.I remember the first time I met Dana, the day after she locked herself in the house when her mum abandoned the family, I remember thinking how young she was to have built such a high wall around herself and how on earth I could possibly break through. As a social worker, it is my job to knock down such walls no matter how.I know it would take more than a biscuit to ease out one of her bricks. But I will try.“How are you feeling?” I push slightly, hoping the biscuit might have softened her.“OK,” she shrugs. I’m about change topics when her eyes rest on my arm.“How does that feel, Mia?” Dana stares at me. The sleeve of my blouse has rolled up, evidence of how deep I had put it into the biscuit can. A deep scar along my arm is obvious against my fair skin.I roll my sleeve back down, “It’s from a fire. It hurt. But everything will be OK when you think it’s OK.”Dana pauses and picks up another biscuit. In that instant, I know something has changed in the room and we might actually be OK.4.Why is Dana often absent from school?A.Because she locks herself up.B.Because school lessons are useless.C.Because she is struggling with life.D.Because she is disliked by her teachers. 5.What do we know about Mia?A.She tries to reach out to Dana.B.She is sensitive about her scar.C.She is a demanding social worker.D.She works to improve parent-child relationship.6.What does the ending of the text imply?A.Mia gains a better understanding of Dana.B.The atmosphere is happy andharmonious.C.Troubled teens require more care and support.D.A close bond is forming between Mia and Dana.7.What is a suitable title for the text?A.OK B.Biscuits C.A white lie D.A deep scarStrict-sounding teachers are worse at inspiring the classroom than their kind colleagues, research has revealed. A ground-breaking psychological study from The University of Essex showed “controlling sounding voices” didn’t gain cooperation from 10-16-year-olds.It discovered that youngsters faced with a strict teacher were more likely to resist, their well-being was affected, and they were less likely to reveal they were facing problems—like bullying. This is because students felt unable to express themselves when faced with a more controlling tone. Whereas a supportive-sounding voice inspired a connection to a teacher which increased their intention to cooperate.People often think about what teachers say to their students but rarely talk about how they say it. But the tone of voice teachers use really matters and the way we adjust our voice can have profound effects on listeners.The study published in the British Journal of Educational Psychology explored teachers’ tone of voice in children’s education. Pre-recorded teachers’ voices were played to 250 children who were then asked to judge how’ the tone affected them. They were asked to rate how it would affect factors such as competence, emotions, trust and their intention to cooperate. Children reacted much better to supportive voices while controlling tones led to lower self-esteem and teachers’ sound samples were perceived to be less trustworthy.The research is hoped to influence teacher training and help boost classroom results. Future studies may head out of the lab and into schools to see where improvements can be made.Professor Weinstein, Head of the Department of Psychology at Essex said: “Tone of voice is a powerful way to convey teachers’ caring, understanding, or openness. It’s easy to forget when we are stressed or tired, but teachers can provide a positive learning environment when they are thoughtful in how they use their tone of voice.”8.What seems to be the problem with strict-sounding teachers?A.They fail to control their voices.B.They never inspire their students.C.They are less likely to get cooperation.D.They don’t care about kids’ well-being.9.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A.A doubt about the research methods.B.An explanation of the research process.C.Supporting evidence for the research results.D.Potential application of the research findings.10.What is the significance of the study?A.It improves teachers’ academic performance.B.It analyzes where improvements can be made.C.Future studies will be carried our in the schools.D.Its finding can be useful in training better teachers.11.What does Professor Weinstein suggest teachers do?A.They should carry on when they are stressed or tired.B.They should learn to use their tone of voice properly.C.They should improve the environment of the classroom.D.They should be thoughtful in how they convey emotions.Anyone can be late a handful of times, but to be the person who is always late—that’s an art, a frustrating art. Or, a side effect of your personality, scientists have found.So what is it that causes some people to constantly miss trains, make it to the wedding just after the bride’s shown up and regularly annoy their friends? And why is it so hard for us to fix it? “There are allsorts of punishments for being late, but we are still late even when those punishments and consequences exist.” said Justin Kruger, a social psychologist at New York University.One of the commonest reasons why people are frequently late is that-they fail to accurately judge how long a task will take—something known as the planning fallacy. Research has shown that people on average underestimate the tune to complete a task by a significant 40 percent.Besides, forever-late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers. A 2023 study found that out of 181subway operators in New York City, those who preferred multitasking were more often late for their job. This is because multitasking makes it harder to have the awareness of what you’re doing. It’s also discovered there is a personality type that’s more likely to be late. While highly nervous, achievement-oriented Type A individuals arc more possible to be punctual, Type B individuals, however, who are calmer and more relaxed, have a higher chance to be late.Admittedly, knowing all of this doesn’t necessarily help fix the problem. But scientistsare starting to work on strategies that can slowly improve our punctuality. For people who constantly underestimate tasks, breaking down an activity into detailed steps can help people estimate how long something will take more accurately. As for your personality type, unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do to change that. But accepting that you need to struggle for it may just help. Acceptance, after all, is the first step to change.12.What does the underlined word “fallacy” mean in paragrqph3?A.A reasonable argument.B.A mistaken belief.C.A modest expectation.D.A realistic idea.13.Which of the following is a feature of forever- late-comers?A.They tackle more than one task at a time.B.They plan to spend longer time on a task.C.They suffer from concentration difficulties.D.They have high expectations for achic’vcments.14.What is a possible way to help those who are always late?A.Learning to accept who you are.B.Changing your personality type.C.Keeping to the timetable accurately.D.Divide a task into smaller ones. 15.What is the main idea of the text?A.Late comers should be severely punished.B.Time management contributes to success.C.The habit of being late is related to character.D.Accepting your personality improves punctuality.二、七选五Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physicalimperfections. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image? Here are some ideas.Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing musical instrument, writing or acting. 17Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体型) don’t just happen. 18 A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to one hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.19 Practicing good habits—regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on—can help you build a positive body image.Be yourself. Your body is just one part of who you are. 20 So try not to let small imperfections take over.A.Respect your body.B.Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at.C.Your talent for comedy, a quick wit, and all the other things make you unique.D.They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.E.Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.F.Just explore talents that you feel good about.G.The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.三、完形填空Shawn Cheshire rode across the country on her bicycle, depending on Jesse Crandall, aby being the first disabled to ride her own bicycle from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.While their next adventure remains uncertain, Crandall knows that there are no 33 with Cheshire.
