United StatesThe United States is home to the highest number of domestic (驯养的) dogs, cats, and fish, and Americans are more likely to treat their friends like humans. U.S. pet owners spend $50 billion a year on their animal companions, and 36% of dog owners have used some of that money to buy their pet a birthday present.RussiaAccording to Russian tradition, keeping a cat as a pet is good fortunate, so it's no surprise the cat is Russia's most popular pet. In 2016, 57% of Russian households contained a cat, compared to the 29% that had dogs. On March 1, Russia celebrates National Cat Day as part of celebrations for World Cat Day.BrazilBrazil's domestic bird population was about 19 million in 2013, while dogs held top rank at just over 37 million. Brazil has the highest number of small dogs per capital city in the world. The nearly 20 million small dogs are attributed to (归因于) a rapidly-growing middle class living in small urban apartments.United KingdomDogs and cats rank second and third in Britain, while fishes hold the top spot. It has been linked not only to the low maintenance (维护), but also to the fact that many other pets like dogs or cats are not allowed in some places.21. Why are the figures mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. To explain the importance of pets.B. To show Americans' growing wealth.C. To explain why Americans have pets.D. To show how Americans love their animal friends.22. Where are cats regarded as the symbol of good luck?A. In Brazil.B. In Russia.C. In the United States.D. In the United Kingdom.23. What are the most popular pets in the United Kingdom?A. Dogs.B. Cats.C. Birds.D. Fishes.BFor most climbers, reaching the peak of Mount Qomolangma once is a unique achievement. However, don't tell that to Kami Rita, who climbed up to the peak of the dangerous mountain for the 22nd time on May 16, 2018, breaking the previous record of 21 successful adventures he shared with two fellow guides. And the experienced mountaineer is not done yet! Before starting the recent climb, the 48-year-old announced, “My goal is to reach the peak of Mount Qomolangma at least 25 times. I want to set a new record not just for myself but for my family, the Sherpa people and for my country, Nepal.”Mr. Rita, who earns $10,000 for each Qomolangma expedition, has successfully climbed the mountain almost every year since the age of 24. In his spare time, the Sherpa guide leads visitors to the area's other high peaks, such as K-2, Cho-Oyu, Manaslu, and Lhotse. Though the most accomplished, Mr. Rita is not the only climber in the family. His father was among the first professional guides to lead foreign mountaineers up Mount Qomolangma in 1950 and his brother has guided climbers to its peak 17 times.While Mr. Rita has avoided all the disasters, the experienced climber has witnessed his share of tragedies . In 2014, he was at base camp when an avalanche (雪崩) killed 16 Sherpa guides, including five from his team. The following year, an earthquake-triggered snowslide buried 19 people at base camp. The only reason Mr. Rita escaped was that his team's tents were situated away from the central area.However, the mountaineer believes that the improvement in equipment and weather forecasting systems has made climbing Mount Qomolangma slightly easier than it was when he began. He said, “The dangers are still there. But we are not climbing blind like we used to. We are better informed about weather and other conditions on the mountain. Even our visitors are more aware, and they train themselves for at least a year before attempting Mount Qomolangma.”24. What do we know about Kami Rita?A. He began to work as a guide at the age of 24.B. He used to guide visitors to Lhotse once a year.C. He has reached the peak of Mount Qomolangma the most times.D. He climbed Mount Qomolangma in 2018 with two fellow guides.25. Why does Kami Rita want to continue to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma?A. He regards it as great fun.B. He is eager to win the $10,000 award.C. He wants to break his brother's record.D. He considers setting new records important.26. Why could Kami Rita avoid the disasters mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He was fortunate enough.B. He knew how to avoid them.C. He was rescued by his team members.D. He just stayed at home and relaxed.27. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. The previous dangers are still hard to avoid now.B. Weather forecasting systems should be improved greatly.C. New technologies make climbing Mount Qomolangma safer.D. Climbers are better trained and closely watched over on the way.CSecondary English teacher Tara Diamond discovered she was going to be made homeless. Without warning, her landlord decided to sell the three-bed house in Bath that she’d been renting for ₤1,000 a month for the past three years. Diamond, a single mother of a teenage daughter and son, quickly found that on her yearly salary of ₤28,000, she couldn’tafford to rent another home locally.“My pay has been frozen while rents have rocketed in Bath. Another three-bed place would have cost me ₤1,300 a month--80% of my take home pay--leaving my children and me with just ₤320a month to live on.” She needed ₤4,000to move home, including the deposit(押金). “I just didn’t have the money.”Research found that in the UK one out of three low earners have borrowed money to pay their rent, either from family and friends or through credit cards. A full 70% of low earners are either struggling or falling behind with rent payments, barely managing to have somewhere to live.Someone argues that people who can’t afford their rent should move elsewhere, but low pay is widespread and there are more job opportunities in the places with higher rents. If you can barely afford to save ₤10 a month, then the rental deposit, first month’s rent and removal fees are far beyond your resources unless you deliberately fall behind on your rent.Increasingly, organizations that deal with poverty and housing are shouting for a housing solution that deals with affordability, not just supply. Arguing that simply increasing supply will cause the market to automatically grow fairer is nonsense.The fact that so many people are struggling to pay their rent should cause outrage(义愤) and shame. And credit is limited: eventually those borrowing to cover rent won’t be able to borrow more, and will become homeless or cost the local authority more when they need rehousing. And if people in work are struggling with rent, what hope do people out of work have?28.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Used up.B. Becoming less and less.C. Incapable of being changedD. Saved up for other purpose.29.What can we know about low earners?A. It is the deposit that stops them from renting a house.B. They can’t save even ₤10 a week after paying their rent.C. They get used to borrowing much money from the banks.D. One third of them can’t afford their rents by themselves.30.Why do people have to stay in the places with higher rents?A. Low pay is widespread.B. They may be employed easily.C. The deposit is low there.D. The government can help them there.31.What does the author think of some organizations’ solution?A. FairB. Imaginative.C. Useless.D. Uncertain.DOur eyes tear up for various reasons. The most common are tears that are continuously being released to keep eyes slightly wet. Then there are reflex(反射的) tears that are shed（流) when eyes are exposed to things like dust or onion juice. And there are emotional tears pouring out when one is experiencing extreme happiness or sorrow.While all tears are made up of enzymes, antibodies and oils mixed with salt water, the composition of each kind is unique. In a previous study performed on reflex and emotional tears, scientists discovered that the former contained primarily water while the latter included several chemicals, including one that helps reduce pain.Thus, it would make sense that the tears consisting of the same chemicals would look exactly alike even under the careful examination of a microscope. However, as Dutch photographer Maurice Mikkers recently discovered, it is not the case.The photographer, who said he wanted to relate scientific knowledge to the “real world”, began by inviting friends who were willing to shed some tears for him. The volunteers could eat hot peppers, stare at a fan, cut onions or think of something that would cause tears of joy or sadness.Maurice obtained each precious tear with the help of a tiny pipe and put them into a microscope slide. The photographer then patiently waited for the tears to crystallize(结晶) before recording them with his camera. The images described beautiful and delicate structures that appeared as fragile as snowflakes(雪花). However, that was not the only feature they shared with the snow particles. They were also all unique. The differences can be due to the fact that each tear crystallizes slightly differently, leading to different shapes and formations.Although Maurice’s experiment did not uncover the similarities in the tears within the same category that he had hoped for, he is enthusiastic about that. He plans to continue obtaining tear images using a higher quality microscope and also dreams about enlisting volunteers that include world leaders. Why? He wants to show that even the most powerful men and women are just like the rest of us--human!32. How many kinds of common tears are mentioned in the passage?A. 2B. 3C. 4D.533. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Tears usually consist of the same chemicals.B. Tears’ chemicals are determined by different reasons.C. Tears take on the same structure under a microscope.D. Tears with the same chemicals look different under a microscope.34. Why does Maurice plan to take more photos of tears?A. He needs more data for his experiment.B. He wants to attract more people’s attention.C. He is addicted to collecting photos of tears.D. He hopes to display his collection of tear images.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. How are tears classified?B. Why do people shed tears?C. Uncovering the secret of tears.D. Similarities between tears and snowflakes.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。
2019届高三英语上学期期中试题 新人教版 (2)
亲爱的同学：这份试卷将再次记录你的自信、沉着、智慧和收获，我们一直投给你信任的目光……2019学年度第一学期期中考试高三年级英语试题第一部分：听力（见第 11页）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题 2分，共30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的ABCD四个选项中，选出最佳。
AFive of the most beautiful villagesSidi Bou Said in TunisiaThis village seems to disappear into the sky. All the houses are painted white and the skies are clear. It's not surprising that the life here is very relaxing, and it is also home to plenty of cafes and art galleries.Wengen in SwitzerlandDo you ever wonder how the world was before cars were invented? The village called Wengen might just help you realize your dreams. Cars have been banned from this area for close to 100 years, and everything looks like it was taken right out of Heidi. The locals have kept their Swiss culture undamaged.Shirakawa-go in JapanThis village is certainly known for its unusual houses with triangular roofs which seem to resemble hands joined in prayer. It's designed to keep snow from piling up on top of houses. These houses are the symbol of the area but there aren't many of them left anymore.Eze in FranceFrance in itself is pretty, but its most attractive village is Eze. This community seems to be frozen in time. This village is the perfect melting pot of cultures because of its closeness to Nice. During the Middle Ages, it was desired by invaders(侵略者),and while this was a cause of sadness for the local people in thepast, today the village enjoys its rich heritage(遗产).The architecture here is so diverse.Bibury in EnglandLocated on the River Coln in the West of England, Bibury was described as "the most beautiful village in England”.Honey-colored 17th-century stone cottages, the Church of St.Mary and a still-working 1902 farm are some of the ancient village’s must-sees. The most photographed spot is Arlington Row, which is a collection of 14th-century stone buildings.21.Where can visitors enjoy paintings?A.In Sidi Bou Said.B.In Shirakawa-go.C.In Wengen.D.In Eze.22. What's the similarity between Wengen and Bibury?A. They both sit by a long river.B. They both have an ancient view.C. They are home to many inventions.D. They are located in the same country.23. What do we know about Eze?A. Its people look sad.B. It forbids cars to enter.C. Its architecture is modern.D. It was attacked in the past.BIt is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to explain about his efforts to give his students a better future.Mr Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not about books and tests and rote memorization(死记硬背),but something practical. As Koziatek knows, there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a desk. They can also learn geometry by putting together a bicycle.But he's also found a kind of prejudice. Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority(低等).Schools in the family of vocational(职业的) education “have that opinion...that it's for kids who can't make it academically,”he says.On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of America's evolution. Manufacturing(制造业)is not the economic engine that it once was. The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely disappeared. More education is the new way. We want more for our kids, and rightfully so.But the headlong push into bachelor's degrees for all—and the devaluing of anything less—misses an important point: That's not the only thing the American economy needs. Yes, a bachelor’s degree opens more doors.But even now, 54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs, such as construction and high-skill manufacturing, according to the National Skills Coalition. But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained. There is a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most aren't equipped to do them. Koziatek's Manchester School of Technology (High School) is trying to fill that gap.Koziatek's school is a wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlooking a nation's diversity of gifts.24. What's the characteristic of Mr. Koziatek’s school?A. Paying attention to practical learning.B. Letting students do many tests.C. Encouraging students to read books.D. Forcing students to learn by rote.25. What does the underlined phrase "that viewpoint” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Vocational education is for academically challenged students.B. Vocational education is undoubtedly a good choice.C. Not all students can be admitted to college.D. Not all students can do physical work.26. How are people reacting to the disappearance of manufacturing?A. They lower their expectations.B. They try to improve their skills.C. They turn to the government.D. They continue their education.27. What does the author think of the school's goal?A. It needs lots of effort.B. It is worth achieving.C. It is unpractical.D. It is adventurous.CWhen I was eleven, my parents gave me the first book I ever owned—“The Tales of Edgar Allan Poe”.I distinctly remember opening it, reading the first lines of "The Cask of Amontillado,”and remarking to myself, "So this is what reading is!”My delight was unbounded. Little did I know at the time that I was at the beginning of a lifelong journey.So, if I read my first real book at the advanced age of 11, what was I reading before then? In a word, readers: relatively plotless, repetitive if well-intentioned attempts to teach children to recognize letters and their sounds and to build their vocabularies. Being a dutiful boy, I went through the motions and I learned what words were. But I had no idea what writing was. Until Poe. In Poe's stories, the sentences were more complex and stylish than anything I had ever read before.Poe, in short, was a start. My parents gave me that first book, but then I went off on my own. I liked science, which led me to discover Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. Other writers followed quickly one after another: Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke. But I didn't limit myself to science fiction. Other titles that deeply impressed me early on, and which I have carried on my life's journey, include: “The Yearling," “Shane”“Ivanhoe,"“Of Mice and Men," "To Kill a Mocking bird," and “The Good Earth”.It went on from there. I became that kid who, long after his parents told him to turn the lights off, hid under the covers with a flashlight and a book, his greatest fear of being discovered and having his flashlight taken away. I realize that myparents must have known I was defying (违背) them. But in their wisdom they pretended to be ignorant of it. And so I owe my start as a reader to my parents.28. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. The author's good memories.B. The author's childhood before 11.C. The author's parents' reading habits.D. The author's affection for his first book.29. What was the influence of plotless reading on the author?A.He didn't accumulate enough vocabularies.B. He didn't know what real writing was.C. He couldn't read complex sentences.D. He couldn't write a good article.30. What is the attitude of the author's parents to his reading under the covers?A.Indifferent.B. Tolerant.C. Anxious.D. Objective.31. What is the best title for the text?A. How I wrote a good bookB. How I found my favorite booksC. How I learned from my parentsD. How I became a reader of booksDAt one recently-opened restaurant in Japan, diners are warned that they very well might not get what they ordered—but surprisingly, it seems few customers are complaining.That's because waiters at the restaurant, which is called“The Restaurant of Order Mistakes, all have dementia and Alzheimer's(痴呆和阿尔茨海默症). The founders of the unique dining spot hope that eating there will help change opinions about dementia and teach customers to be more patient with those who suffer from it.Yahoo! Japan first reported that the restaurant opened in Tokyo's Toyosu district on June 2 and closed after June 4, but will re-open around World Alzheimer's Day in September. The restaurant’s name is a twist on the title of a 1924 story by Kenji Miyazawa called The Restaurant of Many Orders.The restaurant idea was originally thought of by a few like-minded people, including the owners of Maggie's Tokyo. The founders hope to spread a message about inclusivity(包容), and teach people to be more understanding toward elders with dementia. The restaurant also serves to point out that dementia and Alzheimer's sufferers can still be functioning members of society. It's also a fun way to celebrate human mistakes.It doesn't all run smoothly, though. The restaurant readily warns that waiters may bring customers the wrong order. They also may forget to bring drinks or other items.Mizuho Kudo, a Japanese food editor, tweeted(发推特) about her stop at the restaurant. She ordered a hamburger steak but was given gyoza dumplings instead, but everything turned out to be unexpectedly delicious and she said she "laughed a lot”during the meal. She also noted that the waiter were full of smiles and seemed to be having a lot of fun, laughing and excitedly attending to their customers with delicious food. Her tweet about the experience has been liked over 160,000 times, and many commenters seemed impressed by the idea.32. In what way is the restaurant special?A. Its waiters all suffer from a brain disease.B. It only provides traditional foods.C. Its service is the best in Japan.D. It opens only in September.33. What’s one purpose of the restaurant?A. To show dementia sufferers can still contribute to society.B. To raise money for people suffering from mental illness.C. To educate the young to understand the elders.D. To show people a new type of restaurant.34. What did Mizuho Kudo do after having a meal in the restaurant?A. She brought her friends to the restaurant.B. She opened a similar restaurant.C. She volunteered to work in the restaurant.D. She shared her experience with others.35. How did Mizuho Kudo feel about her experience in the restaurant?A．Surprising. B. Unusual.C．Pleasant. D. Necessary.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。

I still have two subjects to go but my deadline is next Tuesday. So I still have 5 days to finish my work. Do you have any class right after you finish?M: No, I don’t have to go to class until 3:00.W: Good. Would you like to join me for lunch today?M: Of course! Just give me ten minutes to finish this and we can take off and go to the dining hall.W: OK, take your time. I’ll be sitting here reading my book.Text 9M: Hilda, I know you’re busy, and I really hate to bother you, but…W: What is it, Bill?M: Well, I was hoping you could give me a ride to the airport.W: Can’t you take the subway?M: My flight is early in the morning on Sunday.

Growers, north ofSan Francisco, have begun pulling out of local farmers markets.CountyLineHarvest, which farms more than 30 acres inPetaluma, hasn’t had enough water to grow all the peppers, lettuces and other produce for a long time, according to a video on its Instagram page. Nearby farms arc saying the same, emphasizing (强调) the effect of theextendeddry periods.Californiagrows a third of theUnited States' vegetables and two-thirds of the nation's fruits and nuts. If dry weather prevents farmers from growing plants, that could lead to pushing up the price of food that's already starting to affect theU.S.economy.“Due to severe drought, for the first time in 21 years, we will not be able to grow this summer inPetaluma,"CountyLinesaid in its post.Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. inKansas, saidCalifornia“missed the rainy season" and won't see much moisture (水分) over the next several months.A La Nina weather pattern in the Pacific pushed winter storms north and away from the state, leaving it with less moisture than usual. AsCaliforniagets most of its water from winter storms, little relief is expected before October.That has left growers such as Shao Shan Fann in a bind. The business can’t offer the selection of Asian vegetables and Bay Area staples it usually grows at its Bolinas location, according to its website.Nearby, Green Valley Community Farm has access to only about 5% of the water it usually relies on, owner David Plescia said. He’s looking for new land with enough water to use, and also has a permit in the works to grow cannabis to make up for the lost income. If it doesn’t make it, he’ll leave the fields empty.“It’s part of our generation’s cross to bear, figuring out how to run small — or medium-scale farm businesses in this kind of atmosphere of highly variable rainfall,” Andrew said.4. What does the underlined word “extended” in the second paragraph mean?A. Hot.B. Short.C. Long.D. Wonderful.5. Which is the result if the dry weather stops famers from planting crops?A. Theincreaseinthe priceof food.B. The growth of economy inU.S.C.Lessmoisture than usual.D. The low price of Asian vegetables.6. From what Andrew said, we can infer (推断) all of the following statements EXCEPT that________.A. The climate is not very goodB. It is part of the burden for people of his generationC. It is hard for him to run his farm businesses insuch bad climateD. He is sure that the serious drought will come to an end soon7. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How do the famers run businesses inCalifornia.B. How does the owner look for new land with enough waterC. California farmers facing drought choose not to plant crops.D. The farm economy of theUnited Stateshas changed a lot.CBrown cows may not actually make chocolate milk, but pink silkworms（蚕）do produce pink silk, a team of scientists has discovered. To see if they could produce pre-dyed silk-silk that comes color1 ed, straight from the source-the team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry（桑树）leaves that had been sprayed（喷洒）with fabric（织物）dyes（染色剂）. Out of seven tested dyes, only one worked, producing a thread that reminded me of pink-dyed hair.And yes, the worms themselves take on some color1 before they produce silk. Their color1 ful diets did not affect their growth, the team, which included engineers and biologists from the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in India, reports in the journalACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. (The researchers didn't look too deeply into how the dyes affected the silkworms' health. After all, silkworms die when people harvest their silk.)The team made dyeing silk this way because color1 ing fabric normally uses large amounts of fresh water. The water gets polluted with dangerous chemicals in the process, requiring costly treatment before factories can send it back into waterways. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would avoid those water-washing steps. Scientists are just starting to study this idea. However, it remains to be seen if it's commercially successful. In thisexperiment, the Indian team tested seven dyes, which are cheap and popular in the industry.The scientists found different dyes moved through silkworms' bodies differently. Some never made it into the worms' silk at all. Others color1 ed the worms and their silk but the color1 disappears before the silk is turned into fabric. Only one dye, named "direct acid fast red", showed up in the final, washed silk threads. By the time it made it there, it was a pleasant, light pink.8. The text is most probably a(n) ________.A. science reportB. tourist guideC. animal experimentD. fashion advertisement9. Silkworms can produce pink silk because ________.A. they are born pinkB. they are dyed pinkC. they grow in pink waterD. they are fed dyed food10. Where is the experiment carried out?A. In America.B. In India.C. In Israel.D. In China.11. How many dyes have been proved successful in the experiment?A. One.B. Three.C. Five.D. Seven.DIn the past, most people received their news from newspapers, magazines, radio and TV. But now, almost anyone can report and publish on the Internet and share it as news through social media. But the problemis that not all of the information is true and not all of the reporting is trustworthy.Howard Schneider, a former editor of the newspapersNewsday,started the Center for News Literacy (素养) at Stony Book University in 2007. The center has multiple projects, but the most famous one is a course to teach news literacy. The course trains students to look for various details that may indicate the truth of the story.Michelle Sheng is a third-year student at theUniversityofMichigan. Sheng finds that students either just stop reading the news or only take news from one source that they trust. "A lot of people are tired of the news. People are too busy to keep up with the news, and it is really easy to take whatever news is given to you because you don’t have the time to figure it out yourself,“ she says.For her part, Sheng recently created a digital exhibit for the university library of images to educate students on steps they can take to better analyze the news.It is important to educate an even larger audience, beyond American university students. The Center for News Literacy has developed teaching resources, as well as a free online news literacy course. It is also trying toreach a younger audience. It has partnered with several secondary schools in the American state ofNew Yorkto teach news literacy.People should research and confirm what they read online. However, to change human behavior is a difficult thing, but that really is the only thing that is going to help. The biggest problem is not getting people to be able to recognize bad journalism or false news, but getting people to want to recognize it. Our brains are wired to the Internet to seek out information that agrees with our current beliefs.12. What’s purpose of the course “News Literacy”？A. To get rid of false information on the Internet.B. To make people realize the risk on the Internet.C. To train students to tell true information from the false.D. To teach students good habits of using information online.13. Why do students have difficulty judging the truth of news?A. They are too lazy.B. They are bored with news.C. They lack news resources.D. They lack time to check its realness.14. What does the Center try to do besides teaching university students?A. Educate the public.B. Improve the service online.C. Prevent children going online.D. Set up several secondary schools.15. What did the author suggest doing to solve the problem of false news?A. Believing whatever you see.B. Changing human behaviors.C. Questioning all the news online.D. Only trusting reliable information.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
