2021年高三上学期英语周练试卷12.9 含答案
丰城中学xx学年上学期高三周练试卷英语（1--45班）刘艳红高三英语备课组（2015-12-09）考试时间16:10-----17:20 (重点班不做D篇)第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共1 5小题：每小题2分，满分30分）ACoffee is one of the most popular (流行的) drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average.Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine (咖啡因). Caffeine is a chemical that stimulates (刺激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake-at least for a short time―because of this stimulating effect on the nervous system (系统). A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it.One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850. Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way.Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans (豆荚) that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans. Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village, where he told his story.The green bean got the name "Kaffa" and later "coffee" because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa. Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy to do their work. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time.1. What is the purpose of drinking coffee?A. To bee more awake.B. To bee more healthy.C. To bee more happy.D. To bee more clever.2. How did the goats react after eating the plants?A. They fell asleep.B. They could not find their way home.C. They started jumping up and down.D. They wanted to eat more.3. Why did the green bean get the name "Kaffa"?A. Because Kaldi loved his home village very much.B. Because Kaldi's goats loved the green bean very much.C. Because the beans were discovered in a place by this name.D. Because the beans could be picked and dried.BMalka and Shaindle are sisters. Although they live an hour's drive from each other and don’t see each other often, they are in touch. Malka has a large family. Shaindle, however, has had difficulty having children.Malka had just given birth to another son . Shaindle , married three years and still childless, was receiving fertility(生育) treatments. Involved with work , doctor’s visits, and medical treats, she was unable to make the trip to visit her sister after she had given birth.Malka knew her sister’s problem and was q uite understanding. Shaindle and her husband Feivel would be at the baptismal (洗礼)ceremony，of course.On the day of the baptism , Shaindle and Feivel arrived early, earlier than Malka and her family. Malka’s mother-in-law, Yehudit, was already at the ha ll. “Hello,” said Shaindle cheerfully, never thinking what was about to happen.Yehudit turned to her angrily and said, “What a selfish sister youare! Never once did you see fit to visit Makla this entire week! No wonder you have no children!”Shaindle went into shock at her words. She turned away, her eyes filled with tears. The accusation had cut Shaindle like a knife. She was psychologically bleeding. Poor Shaindle couldn’t calm down. It took a while before she could regain her calmness. She could n’t look at Yehudit; it was just too painful for her to do so.The minute the words had escaped Yehudit’s mo uth, she knew she had crossed a red line. She had stepped on very raw toes and felt regretted for her words –but it was too late. Her attempts to apologize were ineffective. The celebration had suddently turned sour in just a matter of seconds. After all these years, the memory of that happening lingers on …4. Shaindle didn’t visit her sist er after her sister gave birth because .A. she envied her sisterB. she lived too far from her sister.C. she was too busyD. she didn’t feel quite herself5. We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. Shaindle didn’t forgive Yehudit for many years.B. Yehudit didn’t realize how her words could affect ShaindleC . Shaindle couldn’t get rid of the bad memory for many years.D. Shaindle burst out anger at Malka’s mother-in-law.6. The purpose of the passage is to tell us .A. words can really hurt usB. sisters should care for each otherC. we should try to forget unpleasant thingD. two sisters’ different experiences7. The undeflined part “stepped on very raw toes” probably means .A. be impolite to somebodyB. hurt somebody deeplyC. meet somebody by accidentD. make fun of somebody.CPeople laugh and people cry．But it is thought that emotions such as anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel unfortable and embarrassed．The shedder of tears （落泪者） is likely to apologize, even when a great tragedywas the cause．The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears．But judging from recent studies of crying behavior, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive （适得其反）．Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears．Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival．Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance from others（as a crying baby might from its mother）, the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help．Vocal （出声的） cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention．So, it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves．Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress．University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical position of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears．Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion．Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion ，containing no such substance．Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs．At Tulane University's Teat Analysis Laboratory Dr．Peter Kast and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse, to study the causes of "dry eye" syndrome（综合征）and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants．8．What does the phrase "both those responses" in Paragraph 1 refer to ? A．Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness．B．The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the observers．C．Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical position of tears．D．The tear shedder' s apology and the observer' s effort to stop the crying．9．It is known from the first paragraph that____．A．shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to AmericansB．crying may often result in tragedyC．crying usually wins sympathy from other peopleD．one who sheds tears in public will be blamed10．What does the author say about crying?A．It is a pointless physiological response to the environment．B．It must have a role to play in man' s survival．C．It is meant to get attention and assistance．D．It usually produces the desired effect．11．From the passage we can infer that____．A．it is unnatural for people to shed tearsB．we can reduce our stress by shedding tearsC．shedders of tears can' t get help by crying loudlyD．unlike animals, humans can shed tears for survivalDWhenever people think of charity, the first word that jumps into their mind may be money donated to the needy．However, Wugging, or web-use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user．By using Everyclick．, which is being added to a number of university puters across the UK, students can raise money every time they searc h, but it won’t cost them a penny．Research shows that students are extremely enthusiastic about supporting charity —88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity．This figure is high considering this age group is often the least likely to have their own ine．19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than 5,000．With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing or possible．Beth Truman, a 21-year-old recent university graduate, has used Everyclick． to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the "Wugging" grow in popularity with students．"When you're at university you bee more socially aware, but it's sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself," says Beth．"Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny．" Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don' t feel they have the means to do so．Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing themanything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding．Everyclick． works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK's 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks．Everyclick． then makes monthly payments to every registered charity．Launched in June xx, Everyclick． is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK．12．According to the passage, "Wugging" is actually____．A．a charityrelated action B．a websiteC．a school organization D．a student movement13．In the case of charity, Everyclick．____．A．receives much money from students B．frees students of the financial worriesC．offers valuable information to students D．praises students for their money-raising14．From the passage, we can conclude that____．A．most full time students do charity on the Internet every day B．Everyclick．is the busiest charity website in the UK C．Everyclick． helps students pay for further education D．"Wugging" is a win-win idea for both students and charities15．What would be the best title for the passage?A．"Wugging", a popular term on the InternetB．Students collect money for charity by " Wugging"C．More British charities benefit from the InternetD．Charity enjoys increasing popularity with the British第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分）Tips for waiting in lineWhen lining up at the supermarket checkout counter, the lines nextto us always seem to be moving faster than the one that we are standing in.Now the New York Times has put together the research of scientiststo give you some insights into the math and psychology of queuing.36 .Pick someone with a full chartUS mathematician Dan Meyer believes that a chart（购物车）full of items doesn’t tell the whole story. “Every person requires a fixed amountof time to say hello, pay, say goodbye and clear out of the lane,” he said. That amount of time is an average of 41 seconds per.However, the time each item takes to be rung up is only three seconds. That meansif there are five people ahead of you, each with ten items, the waiting time will be 355 seconds. What if there is only one person with 50 items?37 .Study the customerHow many people are ahead of you is one thing, and who they are is another. For example, old people tend to move more slowly and delay the process. 38 . For example, four bottles of the same milk will go faster than four completely different items.39In some places, there may be just one line leading to several checkout counters. This is known as a “serpentine line”. You should choose it because even if one of the cashiers or customers is slow, it won’t hold up the entire line.Go leftAccording to a research, most people are right-handed, which means they tend to go to the right. 40 .A. You do the mathB. Choose a “serpentine line”C. So knowing how many right-handed people ahead will help you find a faster lineD. It also offers tips on picking the fastest line when you are lining upE. So heading to the opposite direction will give you a better chanceF. The items in their chart are also important.G. The quantity of the items is very important.第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

the number of pages we read,the numberof pushups we do,the number of sales calls we make,and any other task that is important to us.It is only through measurement that we have any___52___of whether we

D.concern53.A.resisting B.eliminating C.defining D.sustaining54.A.accountable B.opposed C.addicted D.parallel55.A.existence mitment C.dignity D.perspectiveSection BDirections：Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinishedstatements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the one that fits best accordingto the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）A traffic jam when you’re already late.A free ride when you’ve already paid.The fact that the King James Bible is the most shoplifted book in the United States.One of these three things is an example of irony—the reversal of what is expected or intended.The other twoare not.The difference between them may be one of the most curious linguistic（语言学的）misunderstandingsyou’re likely to encounter.“Ironic”does not,technically,mean“unfortunate,”“interesting,”or“coincidental,”despitethese terms often being used interchangeably.And that frequent misuse has not escaped linguists（语言学家）；according to the editors at ,“We estimate that ironic might be the most abused word in the Englishlanguage.”So what does irony really mean and where does the confusion come from?Part of the ambiguity probably originates from the fact that there are no fewer than three definitions of irony depending on which dictionary youuse.There’s Socratic irony（an ancient dialogue move），and dramatic irony（an ancient theatrical move），but thedefinition of irony we care about is situational irony.Situational irony occurs when,as the Oxford EnglishDictionary defines it,“a state of affairs or an event…seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is oftenslightly amusing as a result.”The trick,is the deliberately contrary part—for a situation to be ironic,it must be the opposite of what is expected, not merely an amusing coincidence.A traffic jam when you’re already late may be an undesirable coincidence,butit is not the opposite outcome one would expect when leaving for work late.Instead,College Humor writer PatrickCassels corrects the situation like this:“A traffic jam when you’re already late to receive an award from the MuncipalPlanning Board for reducing the city’s automobile congestion by80percent.”Now that’s irony.56.The common misunderstanding of the word“ironic”is that_____.A.it describes something

norms of right and wrong are vital to a well-functioning society.However,such moral standards are changeable and the psychological mechanisms（机制）driving this change are unknown.Now,researchers at Karolinska Institutet report that our view of selfish and unselfish behaviors changes depending on how common they are.The results are based on a combination of behavioral experiments,mathematical models and computer simulations.In the experiments,the participants first observed other people’s behavior in a so-called“public goodsgame”，in which players receive a sum of money and then choose either to invest it to varying degrees so that itbenefits everyone in the group,or to keep it for themselves.After every round,the participants were asked to judgethe different choices as morally right or wrong,and whether the choices ought to be punished with a reduction inhow much the players gained.Uselfish behavior was considered more morally right than selfish,but both behaviors were judged to be more Moral and less deserving of punishment if the majority exhibited them than if they were uncommon.The Commonness of the selfish behavior also affected the participants’willingness to themselves pay to punish selfishness.“Tolerance of selfish behavior increased when the majority of the players kept the money for themselves,which surprised me,”says principal investigator Andreas Olsson,senior lecturer at Karolinska Institutet’s Department ofClinical Neuroscience.“The fact that a behavior is common doesn’t automatically mean that it’s right—this idea isbased on faulty logical that confuses facts with moral values.”The study shows our view of what is morally right and wrong has strong similarities with social conformity,in that we tend to adapt ourselves to the people around us and how they behave.This means that changes in our social environment can quickly alter our moral compass.“This is interesting from several angles,and could explain why normal attitudes change over time,such asthose towards public goods or legality,”says Bjorn Lindstrom,postdoc at University of Zurich and Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Clinical Neuroscience.63.According to Andreas Olsson’s analysis,if people accept selfish behavior,they actually_____.A.get facts and moral values mixed upB.misunderstand social mechanismsC.follow the logic of their ownD.consider it correct and reasonable64.It can be concluded that the participants in the experiments are punished if_____.A.they can’t play“public goods game”B.invest the money to benefit group membersC.they behave differently from the majorityD.they keep the money for themselves65.According to the passage,what is morally right or wrong is shaped by the following Expert___.A.the way people around us behaveB.changes in our social environmentC.personal standards of values and attitudesD.how widespread a particular behavior is66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.The psychological mechanisms behind attitude changeB.Behavior is considered more moral the more common it isC.Our view of selfish and unselfish behaviorsD.Moral standards of selfish and unselfish behaviorsSection CDirections：Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each Blank.Thereare two extra statements,which you do not need.FIVE W A YS TO KILL YOUR DREAMSI dedicated the past two years to understanding how people achieve their dreams.When we think about the dreams we have,and the footprint we want to leave in the universe,it is striking to see how big of an overlap thereis between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen.So I’m here to talk to you today about five wayshow not to follow your dreams.One:___67___.Y ou know the story,right?The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money.Y ou knowthe story may seem real,but I bet it’s incomplete.If you go investigate further,the guy has done30apps before andhe has done a master’s on the topic,a Ph.D.He has been working on the topic for20years.This is really interesting.I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success.I come from a humble family,and twoweeks before the deadline to apply to MIT,I started the application process.And,voila!I got in.People may thinkit’s an overnight success,but that only worked because for the17years prior to that,I took life and education seriously.You overnight success story is always a result of everything you’ve done in your life through that moment.Two:Believe someone else has the answers for you.Constantly,people want to help out,right?All sorts of people:your family,your friends,your business partners, they all have opinions on which path you should take:“And let me tell you,go through this pipe.”But wheneveryou go inside,there are other ways you have to pick as well.And you need to make those decisions yourself.___68___.And you need to keep picking those decisions,right?The pipes are infinite and you’re going to bumpyour head,and it’s a part of process.Three:Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed.So when your life is going great,you have put together a great team,and you have growing revenue,and everything is set—time to settle.When I launched my first book,I worked really,really hard to distribute iteverywhere in Brazil.With that over three million people downloaded it,over50,000people bought physical copies.When I wrote a sequel,some impact was guaranteed.Even if I did little,sales would be okay.But okay is neverokay.When you’re growing towards a peak,you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak.Maybe if I did little,a couple hundred thousand people would read it,and that’s great already.But if I work harderthan ever,I can bring this number up to millions.That’s why I decided,with my new book,to go to every singlestate of Brazil.And I can already see a higher peak.There’s no time to settle down.Four:Blame others for the fault.I constantly see people saying,“Y es,I had this great idea,but no investor had the vision to invest.”“Oh,I created this great product,but the market is so bad,the sales didn’t go well.”or“I can’t find good talent,my team is sobelow expectations.”___69___.Yes,it.May be hard to find talent.Yes,the market may be bad.But if no oneinvested in your idea,if no one bought your product,for sure,there is something there that is your fault.Definitely.You need to get your dreams and make them happen.And no one achieved their goals alone.But if you didn’t makethem happen,it’s your fault and no one else’s.Be responsible for your dreams.Five:Only pay attention to the dreams themselvles.Once I saw an ad,and it was a lot of friends,they were going up a mountain,it was a very high mountain and it was a lot of work.You could see that they were sweating and this was tough.And they were going up,and theyfinally made it to the peak.Of course,they decided to celebrate,right?I’m going to celebrate,so,“Yes!We madeit,we’re at the top!”Two seconds later,one looks at the other and says,“Okay,let’s go down.”Life is never aboutthe goals themselves.Life is about the journey.Yes,you should enjoy the goals themselves,but people think thatyou have dreams,and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams,it’s a magical place where happiness willbe all around.___70___.The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of yourjourney.That’s the best way.Ⅳ.Summary WritingDirections：Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than60words the main idea of the passage andhow it is e your own words as far as possible.It is university true that all parents in the world love their children.However,as parents'views of life vary,they show their love in different ways．The monarch type of parents are intolerant and self-centered.They lay down regulations in the family for their children to observe.Furthermore,they insist that their children should act upon them without question.With a firmbelief in their own philosophy of life,they have litter respect for others'opinions,least of all,their children's.Thesentence they say most frequently to their children is,“Y ou should do this.”Contrary to the monarch-type parents,the servant-type parents revolve around their children all the time.Theyare soft,good-nature,and easy-going.They never deny their children any wish,and cheerfully run to buy anythingtheir children ask for.They are happy so long as their children are content.With the sincere belief that love meanssacrifice,they are ready to give up anything for their children's sake.With their children at the center of their lives,The friends-type parents,as the term implies,treat their Children as friends.They are generous and wise.Like good friends,they discuss with their children the latest news,share their children's interests,and listen attentivelyto their children's expression of emotion,whether it is anger,fear,joy or sorrow.They have a close relationship withtheir children while sticking to their principled stand.They discuss problems with their children rather than provideready solution.They respect their children as their equals.They often say:“Let's put our heads together and seewhat we can do.”There is no doubt that children welcome the third type of parents,for a free,friendly,and sympathetic atmosphere at home is most favorable to the development of youngsters both in body and in mind.All parentsshould re-examine and change some of their ways of showing their love if they want their children to grow uphappily and healthily.第二卷Ⅴ.Translation.Directions：Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the

We can learn from the text that _______.A. most of the classes are given in the same buildingB. all of the classes are given on weekendsC. all the classes are given in MayD. fees for most classes include workbooksBLeon, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand. That didn’t stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon’s father, Paul, created a prosthesis （假肢）, using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close. “It was a do-it-yourself, father and son adventure,” says Paul.When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. “The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with,” says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30,000. Paul found a more affordable solution.One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand’s creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer —which costs around $2,000 —and some materials.Luckily, Leon’s school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon. “We used a soccer shin guard （护胫）, cardboard, and tape. They cost about $10,”says Paul. With his new hand, Leon can do things better. “I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags, ”he says.Leon’s father has already built several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there’s one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis. “The goal,” he tells the reporter from the local evening paper, “is to be able to tie my shoelaces.”24. Why did Leon’s doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood?A. The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B. A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C. To master the disabled hand was important.D. The original hand could do many tasks.25. Leon’s father managed to get Leon a new hand by ________.A. collecting money on the Internet.B. buying a prosthetic handC. purchasing a 3D printerD. printing a hand26. The materials used for Leon’s hand can be described as _________.A. cheap and commonB. strange and valuableC. personal and lovelyD. basic and solid27. Where can the passage be taken from?A. An advertisementB. A newspaperC. A posterD. A travel guideCWhenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, surf the Internet, we’ll be surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of dietproducts that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically （心理上地）and physically.It’s obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.What’s more, diet products have greater psyc hological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and straggle.As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. And they can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.28. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.A. diet products are in our daily lifeB. people have trouble choosing diet productsC. people should put up with diet productsD. diet products are misleading people29. The psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to ________.A. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsB. pay attention to their daily dietC. watch their weight rather than their dietD. try out varieties of diet foods30. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means _________.A. diet products cause no painB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. losing weight is effortlessD. diet products are free of fat and calories31. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ________.A. are over-consumedB. are short of basic nutrientsC. lack chemicalsD. provide too much energy DAccording to a survey, more Europeans go digital — changing from fixed lines to mobile phones and from narrowband to broadband Internet connections.The survey showed that 22 percent of EU households use only mobile phones, up from 18 percent a year ago, while the percentage of households with at least one fixed line decreased by 5 percent to 72 percent, although the percentage of households with at least one mobile phone remains fairly stable at 81percent. Broadband is presenting a rapid upward trend in the EU, showed the survey, which polled（对……进行民意调查）27,000 households across the union. Twenty-eight percent of households are now connected to the Internet via high-speed “broadband” links, up six percent from last year, while narrowband usage has dipped by three percentage points to 12 percent. More than half of households access the Internet via an ADSL line and 34 percent of broadband connections are wireless.“Europe’s digital economy is growing strongly as more and more households love to choose between fixed, mobile and Internetser vices,” said EU Information Society and Media Commissioner Viviane Reding. “The challenge of this year’s reform of the EU’s telecom rules will be to respond to this rapidly changing technological environment while enhancing（提高）at the same time effectiveco mpetition.”Meanwhile, nearly 20 percent of Europeans buy two or more telecom products from a single service provider, the combination of fixed telephony and Internet access being the most common. The result may strengthen the commission’s case for bre aking up telecom giants, whose control over the fixed line networks was accused of hindering（妨碍）competition. “Today’s survey findings will feed into the ongoing public debate on the reform of the EU telecom rules, planned for summer this year,” said Reding.32. Today, the percentage of households with at least one fixed line goes down to ________.A. 34%B. 22%C. 72%D. 81%33. What will be covered in this year’s reform of the EU’s telecom rules?A. The quickly changing technological environment.B. The plan to stop the use of the fixed lines.C. Breaking up telecom giants.D. The ongoing public debate on global economy.34. If a European will buy telecom products from a single service provider, what will be the result?A. Less than two services are provided for customers.B. Competition will become fierce in the telecom field.C. A plan on the reform of the telecom is breaking up.D. It becomes more difficult to fight off big companies’ co ntrol.35. The best title of this article is ________.A. Mobile Phones Become PopularB. More Europeans Go DigitalC. The disappearance of the fixed lineD.

——————————教育资源共享步入知识海洋————————四川省宜宾市一中2018-2019学年高三英语上学期第12周周练题AAs smart devices continue to fill people’s daily life, the debate over their place in the classroom has grown increasingly. Now, a study conducted at the United States Military Academy just might put an end to it.In a recent investigation, researchers found that students who were permitted to use laptops or tablets in the classroom performed worse than those who did not—and those with higher initial GPAs(平均成绩) were most heavily affected.While some argue that laptops aid students in note-taking and comprehension, many say that they couldn’t pay attention to the lessons. To get to the bottom of the issue, researchers investigated the effect of laptops and tablets on student performance in a course at a school.In the study, the class was then divided into two treatment groups. The first treatment group was permitted to use laptops and tablets for purposes relating to their lesson. If the students were obviously distracted, professors could stop them from using the devices. In the second group, students could only use tablets, making the screen easily visible to the professors. When it came time for final exam scores, the researchers found that using a laptop or tablet in the classroom had caused a drop of roughly one-fifth of a standard. The results for the two treatment groups were nearly the same, they say.And, the negative effects were seen most heavily in male students. The estimated effects of the two treatment groups are nearly the same, suggesting that even allowing students to use computer devices in a manner that is controlled by the professor can have harmful effects on classroom performance.The researchers say that both unrestricted and restricted use may affect students in a number of ways. It could lead to distractions, in which students are checking social media or even doing homework for another class, and it may reduce students’ abilities to effectively take notes.1.The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph may refer to ______.A.the deviceB.the debateC.the classroomD.the study2.Who suffered from the use of smart devices most in the study?A.The male students with higher GPAs.B.The students with poor academic performance.C.The students who could use laptops or tablets freely.D.The male students who could use laptops or tablets under control.3.What conclusion did the study draw?A.The professors had no effect on students’ scores.B.The first treatment grouphad a rise of the scores.C.The second treatment group did better than the first.D.The two treatment groups both saw a drop in the scores.4.What can be inferred from the text?ing laptops could help students perform better in a course.B.The negative effects of computer devices depended on gender.C.The distraction caused the drop of the students’ scores.D.Restricted use of laptops aided students in taking notes.BA machine that takes sweat-laden (浸满汗水的) clothes and turns the sweat into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The machine makes the clothes turn round quickly, heats them to remove the sweat, and then passes the steam through a kind of special material to make purified waterThe device was built for the United Nations’ child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.The machine was designed and built by the engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show “Mekatronik”. He said the key part of the sweat machine was a new water purification part developed by a company named HVR.“It uses a technique called membrane distillation (膜蒸馏),” he told the BBC. “We use a special kind of material that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other things out. They have something similar to the International Space Station, but our machine is cheaper to build. The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is, but one person’s T-shirt typically produces 10ml, about a mouthful.”The device has been put on show at the Gothia Cup-the world’s largest international youth football tournament. Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo, said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICEF, but in reality had its limitations.“People haven’t produced as much sweat as we hoped – right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy,” Mattias Ronge said. “So we’ve equipped the machine with exercise bikes and volunteers are cycling like crazy. Even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be produced in large numbers, since there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills.”1.
