I’m sorry to trouble you, but I have to make a complaint about the school bag I purchased last week.When receiving the school bag, I was disappointed to find the color was quite different from what was shown in the advertisement. What also annoyed me was that there were several black spots on the bag, which couldn’t be wiped away. For the reasons above, I strongly demand either the school bag be exchanged or I be compensated with full refund.Looking forward to your prompt reply.Yourssincerely,Li Hua 读后续写Possible version 1:Para 1:A seat beside her was empty, and Dannis occupied it. He felt a wave of anger swept over him. “Where is my wallet?” he yelled. The black-haired girl glanced up from her reading, with aconfused look on her face.Dannis stood up, glared at her and shouted,“ You stole my wallet!” The crowds began to gossip. The girl turned deadly pale, looking so restless that words failed her. A strange silence hung in the air. Abruptly, she leaped from the seat.Para 2:The girl ran and Dannis ran after her. After a while, Dannis finally grabbed her by the arm. At exactly that moment, a policeman approached them and asked about what happened. Dannis hastened to explain it while the girl frowned with a shake of her head. After further enquiries, the policeman took out a wallet and handed it to Dannis, adding that someone had found it in the toilet. What a mistake he had made! Overwhelmed by guilt, Dannis made an apology to the girl.(153 words) 听力材料(Text 1)W:H i. Do you have a large size for this blue shirt?M:I’m sorry but we’re out of the large size.

2019-2020届高三英语第一次联考试卷(附答案解析)

2019-2020届高三英语第一次联考试卷(附答案解析)

2019-2020届高三英语第一次联考试卷(附答案)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,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项AIf you're looking to fully experience Africa’s breathtaking scenery ,and have an eye for adventure, then there's only one place to be.Here,inside Africa picks four of the best hikes from across the continent.1.KilimanjaroMake it to the top of Tanzania's 5,895-meter Kilimanjaro, and you'll be standing at Africa’s highest point.The mountain is Africa's most-visited hiking destination, attracting tens of thousands of tourists and adventures every year.You don’t have to a technical climber to climb Mount Kilimanjaro;you just need not be pretty physically fit. There are six routes to choose from. difficulty, scenery and success. No special equipment2.Atlas mountainsThe High Atlas is an impressive mountainous range in central Morocco that hosts North Africa's highest peak. Mount Toubkal , at 4,165 meters. There's a variety of routes to follow during your climb but inexperienced climbers should note that the hike through the mountain’s challenging zones is quite demanding.3. Mount KenyaA long-extinct volcano. Mount Kenya is Africa's second-highest peak, at 5,199 meters.Lying just south of the equator, the mountain's deep valleys and diverse wildlife will guarantee you wonderful scenery and a fantastic hiking experience.The climb, however, to the mountain's steep ice-capped peaks is quite challenging, making it the most technical, probably, in that East African area.4. Mount MeruMount Meru may forever exist in the shadow of its neighbor,Kilimanjaro,butTanzania ’s second-highest mountain (4,565 meters) has its own devotees.It's less known, but Mount Meru is for the true enthusiast who wants to experience what very few people actually do.Mount Meru is often used by mountaineers to accustom themselves before trying to conquer Kilimanjaro, or by those wanting a hike with the local Massai.21. What do we know about Kilimanjaro?A. It's comparatively easy to climb.B. It's Africa's second highest mountainC. Its six routes are equally difficult.D. It lies to the east of Tanzania.22.Why do mountaineers climb Mount Meru first before they do Kilimanjaro?A. To avoid big crowds of climbers .B. To hike with the local Massai.C. To get used to the situation.D. To experience what most people do. Which is the lowest of the four?23.Which is the lowest of the four?A. Kilimanjaro.B.Atlas mountainsC. Mount Kenya.D. Mount MeruBLebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki has become the first female artist in the Arab world to be nominated (提名)for an Academy Award ,or Oscar.Labaki directed the film Capernaum ,a film about a Syrian refugee (难民)boy and a Kenyan baby who live without parents on the streets of Beirut. h was nominated for best foreign language film.Labaki wil1 be one of the few female directors to compete for an Oscar this year. She told the Associated press "I wish there were a lot more women filmmakers this year represented,nominated in the Oscars. But I am sure in a few years we won't be having this problem anymore.”Unlike in the West, women filmmakers are industry leaders in Lebanon.Capernaum received a 15-minute standing ovation (热烈欢迎)at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It won the Jury Prize—the third-highest award given at Cannes.The United Nations has publicly praised the film. Lebanon's Foreign Minister said Capernaum put a Lebanese touch on the international film industry.The Oscar nomination of Capernaum is the second for Lebanon in two years in the film group. It demonstrates the country's rising star power.Labaki called making the movie a life-changing experience. She said Capernaum helps humanize the real struggles of refugees only briefly talked about in the news.We can’ t help but acknowledge that there is a fear of refugees in genera l around the world and there are these walls we are building, and this fear that keeps growing," Labaki said.Capernaum will compete against four other films for the Oscar, including awards season favorite Roma. Directed by Mexico's Alfonso Cuaron, it earned 10 Oscar nominations, including for best picture.24. Where does Labaki come from?A. Syria.B. Kenya.C. Lebanon.D. Mexico.25.What do we know from Labaki's words in Paragraph 3?A. Few women directors have been nominated in the Oscars.B. She was the first female artist to compete for an Oscar.C More women directors will enter for Oscar this year.D. Female directors have problems with their films.26.Which of the following best describes Capernaum ?A. It is the best foreign language film.B. It shows the rising power of women.C. It has won the first prize at Cannes.D. It is highly thought of.27. What does the underlined ‘it’ in the last paragraph refer to?A Capernaum. B. The Oscar. C. Roma. D. Best picture.CBeing highly successful in any field is pretty rare. It takes a combination of natural talent, luck, determination, and plenty of outside support for someone to make it big in sports, entertainment, or business. But what if competing is all that matters to you,whether you are likely to succeed or not? This was the goal of Michael Eddie the Eagle Edwards, and that he reached that goal was an amazing achievement.Born in the U.K. in 1963, Michael was an enthusiastic downhill skier whose dream was to compete for Britain in world-class competitions. He would have liked to represent his country in the 1984 Winter Olympics, but there were a large number of downhill competitors, and Edwards didn't qualify. Seeing his chance elsewhere, he switched to ski jumping. Ski jumping didn't cost nearly as much, and there was almost no competition for a place on the Britain team.But a number of hurdles (障碍)could have meant the end of Edwards' dream. He weighed more than most competitors, which put him at a disadvantage. He had no financialsupport for hi, training. Poor eyesight meant that he had to wear glasses under his goggles (护目镜)- not a good thing when they steamed up at high altitudes. But he couldn't let any of this discourage him. He saw himself as a true lover of the sport who simply wanted the chance to compete. Winning wasn't the point. Having the opportunity to try was all he cared about. And nothing could stop him from trying.In the end, Edwards took 55th place in the 1987 World Championships. He then went on to the Calgary Olympics in 1988, where he finished last in both of his events. Many athletes would have been embarrassed by this result, but he is proud of his achievement to this day. His determination to fight against all the odds made him a global hero, and in 2016, the inspiring film Eddie the Eagle was made about his life.28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To add some background information.B. To uncover the secret of success.C. To expect an answer from readers.D. To introduce the topic.29. Why did Michael Edwards choose ski jumping?A. It took less skill.B. The equipment was cheaper.C. There was little competition.D. It was easy to win the championship.30. After the Calgary Olympics, Edwards _________A. felt he had reached his goalB. was embarrassed by his resultsC. switched to film makingD. was glad it was over31. What made Michael Edwards outstanding?A. His determination to win.B. His enthusiasm for the sport.C. His attitude towards the Olympics.D. His ability to overcome physical disabilities.DThe world's first hydrogen-powered trains have begun running in Germany. They begancarrying passengers Monday in Germany’s northern Lower Saxony state.The new train will run 100-kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers an hour.A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains. Team in Germany andFrance cooperated on the project,which was supported by the German government.The new train model ,called the Coradia ilint,signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution-producing diesel(柴油) trains.The Coradia iLint is designed to run on non-electrified train lines with low levels of noise.It uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power. If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time, it can store the extra energy in batteries. The only emissions (排放物) are water and steam.A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1,000 kilometers. This is very similar to the distance a diesel-powered train can run on with a single tank.Hydrogen-powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build. But Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower. The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony by 2021.The head of railroad operations in the area ,Carmen Schwabl,praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen. She said the move was an important first step in using clean-burning technologies to reach climate protection goals.Officials say the area's many wind turbines (涡轮机)will produce part of the energy to create the hydrogen to power the trains.Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems. France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operating by 2022.32. Why did Germany build the new trains?A. To replace diesel trains.B. To carry more passengers.C. To make traveling much easier.D. To develop friendship with France.33. What is one advantage of the Coradia iLint?A. It runs without making any noise.B. It doesn’ t use electrical power.C. It costs much less to run.D. It is cheaper to make it.34. It can be concluded that hydrogen trains________A. are widely usedB. are environmentally friendlyC. can stop air pollutionD. can produce water and oxygen35. What might be the best title for the text?A. Saving Natural ResourcesB. Efforts to Reduce EmissionsC. World’s First Hydrogen TrainsD. A New Way to Make Electricity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自处的最佳选项。

高三上学期第一次联考英语试题及答案

四校高三第一次联考高三英语第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

AFamily-friendly things to do on Long IslandIf you’re looking for ways to fill the weekend, Long Island is packed with exciting things to do for the whole family.1.How much would a couple with a boy aged 6 and a girl aged 10 pay for Famous Food Festival?A. $42.B. $35.C. $21.D. $28.2.Which one do you need to book in advance?A. Riverhead Country Fair.B. Famous Food Festival.C. Montauk Family Fall Festival.D. Lightkeepers Behind the Scenes Tours.3.What do Montauk Family Fall Festival and Riverhead Country Fair have in common?A. They both have art exhibitions.B. They offer free food and drinks.C. They both open on Saturdays and Sundays.D. They are likely to be welcomed by music lovers.B“Lei ming m ming baak ngo gong ge waa ah? Do you understand what I am saying?” I stare back at the speaker dumbly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a bunch of words spill out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural.The anecdote(轶事)above is a semi-conversation I had in Malaysia years ago. A three-week stay in Malaysia once every few years was often the highlight of my summers — what more can you ask from a food paradise? But besides the family, food, and escape that Malaysia offered, trips also brought accompanying feelings of guilt that I just couldn’t seem to translate. For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture, peering in. I was a girl lost in translation, passively absorbing the various tongues shouted between the stalls in the wet markets, quietly nodding along at my grandparents’ huge family dinners.In America though, I am a different person. I don’t think twice about my grammar when speaking. I don’t struggle with the words and fear that my logic and stories won’t get through to people. So as a native English speaker, I do not have to worry daily about whether I’m judged for having an accent or whether I’m misunderstood across languages. In Malaysia, I naturally burst out “have you eaten?” instead of recalling the Malaysian equivalent “you makan already?” InMalaysia, everything about the way I speak — my accent, intonation, sentence structure, slang — gives me away. My American-ness is seen in the way I talk, dress, and act. Maybe my face could pass for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth to speak I am so clearly not. It is uncomfortable and awkward, and sometimes I wonder if I did not look Asian at all would it be better, since there would be no more language expectation for me than for a white tourist.4.How did the author feel in the anecdote?A. Confused and scared.B. Embarrassed and nervous.C. Curious and surprised.D. Upset and puzzled.5. Why did the author feel guilty according to Paragraph 2?A. Because she had to stay away from her family.B. Because she didn’t enjoy speaking the language.C. Because she had to accept what grandparents said.D. Because she found it hard to understand the culture.6.What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph?A. She was a good language learner.B. She didn’t like being an Asian.C. She was judged unfairly in Malaysia.D. She spoke English unconsciously in Malaysia.7.From which column of the website does this article probably come from?A. OpinionB. News.C. Education.D. Humor.CWalking over water might sound unbelievable. In fact, people do it all the time. How? Almost all of the world’s liquid fresh water that is called groundwater lies underground.Earth is a water planet, but most of its water is in the oceans. Only about 2.5 percent of the planet’s water is fresh water, of which nearly 69 percent is frozen in glaciers(冰川)and ice caps and about 30 percent is groundwater - much more than the 1.2 percent that flows through rivers and fills lakes.Groundwater is found almost everywhere on Earth. It hides under mountains, plains and even deserts. Tiny gaps between rocks and soil grains take in and hold this water like a sponge(海绵), forming buried bodies of water called aquifers(地下蓄水层). Together, they hold about 60 times as much water as the world’s lakes and rivers combined. Groundwater is a key part of the earth’s water cycle. Rain and melted snow go down into the ground. The water can stay there for thousands of years. Some groundwater naturally runs out onto the earth’s surface through springs. It also flows into lakes, rivers and wetlands. People get groundwater through wells for drinking, watering crops and other uses.As human-caused climate change dries out parts of the planet, demand for groundwater may rise. At the same time, climate change may increase storms. Heavier rain is more likely to rushstraight into streams and storm drains, instead of going into the soil. So, there may be less groundwater around.Many of the world’s aquifers already seem to be drying up. Twenty-one of the earth’s 37 biggest aquifers are becoming smaller, satellite data show. The most dried-out aquifers are near big cities, farms, or dry regions. As groundwater stores dwindle, they hold less water to refill rivers and streams, thus threatening freshwater ecosystems.8.What can we know about groundwater from Paragraph 3?A. It will end up in rivers and seas.B. It’s mainly stored in wet regions.C. It’s mainly kept in the form of aquifers.D. It runs out onto the earth’s surface regularly.9.Why does climate change result in less groundwater according to the text?A. It makes heavier rain go into the soil.B. It raises the temperature and increases daytime.C. It causes glaciers to disappear faster than ever.D. It allows less rain to go underground directly.10.What does the underlined word “dwindle” in the last paragraph mean?A. Decrease.B. Change.C. Develop.D. Form.11.What is the best title of the passage?A. The threat from climate changeB. The water cycle in the worldC. The decrease of groundwaterD. Water crisis on the planetDAnnissa Jobb, with a walking stick, went to the office of Riam Shammaa, a pain specialist in Toronto, in 2017. Jobb’s back pain first appeared about a decade earlier due to an undiagnosed herniated disc, which had pressed a nerve. As the pain worsened, Jobb clenched her teeth and tried to keep going. Now she was desperate for help. “I had a drawer full of pain medication. None of it was working.” said Jobb.Historically, the treatment of such back pain has been less than ideal, sometimes causing patients to become addicted to painkillers or to undergo major surgery, which is suitable for only about 1 in 20 patients. Hunting for a solution beyond these limited options, Dr. Shammaa turned to stem cells—the building-block cells found in various tissues in adult bodies—which can generatea set of different cells. Specifically, he’d been studying bone marrow(骨髓)stem cells, and he invited Jobb to participate in a study with 23 other patients. He hoped that injecting(注射)the stem cells, known as MSCs, into the patient’s herniated disc would multiply and heal the damaged tissue.The procedure took three and a half hours. It began with the collection of Jobb’s bone marrow—the most painful step—which was immediately distilled(蒸馏)and concentrated into bone marrow mixture, or BMAC, then injected into the discs. Guided by a special type of X-ray, Dr. Shammaa inserted a needle through Jobb’s spine to place the BMAC into the discs. Jobbremained awake for the entire procedure in order to alert Dr. Shammaa if he touched a nerve. Afterward, Jobb recovered in bed for two weeks and then, slowly, began to walk.A month later she stepped swiftly into the clinic, a moment Dr. Shammaa recalled with delight. “While Jobb had previously described her pain as ‘beyond ten’, she says that it’s now a two.”12.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Annissa Jobb’s back pain experiencesB. The desperate situation of Annissa JobbC. The treatment of Annis Jobb’s illnessD. The cause for Annissa Jobb’s visit to a pain specialist13.Why does the author mention the treatment of back pain in history?A. To introduce the process of the previous treatmentB. To explain the necessity of Dr. Shammaa’s researchC. To show the development of the treatment of back painD. To provide the supporting evidence for Dr. Shammaa’s research14.What can we know about the stem cells in the treatment?A. They can function in any part of human bodiesB. They are able to help cells reproduce and recoverC. They will be injected into the tissues nearby herniated discD. They will be concentrated before collecting patients’s bone marrow15.What can we infer from Dr. Shammaa’s words in the last paragraph?A. Jobb has a poor comment on her treatment.B. Jobb has only two pain spots after the treatment.C. Jobb’s back pain has been dramatically relieved.D. Jobb’s back pain is evaluated more precisely than before.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AIn this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there isno shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year.As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created b y previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again?That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her. “Don’t you want to win again? ”“No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously(自发地)told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly guided by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting(借用)my daughter’s experience.While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.56. What do we learn from the first paragraph?A. A lot of distractions(娱乐,消遣) compete for children’s time nowadays.B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities.C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time.D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.57. What did the author say about her own writing experience?A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more.B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.58. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contes t?A. She had won a prize in the previous contest.B. She wanted to share her stories with readers.C. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.59. The author took great pains to refine(改进) her daughter’s stories because________.A. she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writerB. she w as afraid Rebecca’s imagination might run wild while writingC. she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so muchD. she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance60. What’s the author’s advice for parents?A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.C. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue(追求).BNext week, as millions of families gather for their Thanksgiving feasts, many other Americans will go without. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, more than 12 million households lack enough food for everyone in their family at some time during the year-including holidays.Hunger is surprisingly widespread in our country-one of the world’s wealthiest-yet the government estimates that we waste almost 100 billion pounds of food each year, more than one-quarter of our total supply.Reducing this improper distribution of resources is a goal of America’s Second Harvest, the nation’s largest domestic hun ger-relief organization.Last year, it distributed nearly 2 billion pounds of food to more than 23 million people in need.America’s Second Harvest is a network of 214 inter-connected food banks and other organizations that gather food from growers, processors, grocery stores and restaurants. In turn, the network distributes food to some 50,000 soup kitchens, homeless shelters and old people’s ce nters in every county of every state.A great deal of work is involved in distributing tons of food from thousands of donors(捐赠) to hundreds of small, nonprofit organizations. Until a few years ago, America’s Second Harvest lacked any effective way to manage their inventory(库存). Without accurate and timely information, soup kitchens were sometimes empty while food was left to spoil in loading places.In 2000, America’s Second Harvest began to use a new inventory and financial-management system-Ceres. It is software designed specifically for hunger-relief operations. It is used by more than 100 America’s Second Harvest organizations to track food from donation to distribution.Ceres has helped reduce the spoiling of food and improve distribution. An evaluation found that the software streamlined food banks’ operations by 23 percent in the first year alone.With more accurate and timely reports, Ceres saves time, flees staff members to focus on finding new donors, and promises more efficient use of donations.Hunger in America remains a troubling social problem. Technology alone cannot solve i t. But in the hands of organizations such as America’s Second Harvest, it is a powerful tool that is helping to make a difference-and helping more Americans to join in the feast.61. According to the passage, the total supply of food in America every year reaches ________.A. 12 million poundsB. more than 12 million poundsC. almost 100 billion poundsD. about 400 billion pounds62. By “this improper distribution of resources” in Paragraph 3, the writermeans that manyAmericans lack enough food while ________.A. their country is one of the richest in the worldB. much food is left to spoilC. others waste too much foodD. others consume too much food63. A problem for America’s Second Harvest a few years ago wasthat ________.A. it did not get enough food from donorsB. it did not have a large enough networkC. it did not have enough soup kitchensD. it did not have a good way to manage its food stock64. With Ceres, America’s Second H arvest is now ableto ________.A. enlarge its networkB. prevent food from spoilingC. give out food more efficientlyD. solve the hunger problem in the country65. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. technology can help in the fight against hungerB. America’s Second Harvest has found more donorsC. America’s Second Harvest promotes the development of technologyD. hunger is a problem even in the wealthiest country in the worldCThe January fashion show, called FutureFashion, exemplified(例证) how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable(不破坏生态平衡的) fabrics(织物) for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic(有机的;绿色的) fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organiccotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. “Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and what your customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven(编织) into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents(相等的东西).Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. “Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn. Some analysts are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind. But—thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be.66. What is said about FutureFashion?A. It inspired many leading designers to start going green.B. It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.C. It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.D. It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable(耐用的).67. According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organicis that________.A. much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materialsB. they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materialsC. customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materialsD. quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available68. We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion________.A. can attend various trade shows freeB. are readily recognized by the fashion worldC. can buy organic cotton at favorable pricesD. are gaining more and more support69. What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitude toward ecofashion?A. She doesn’t seem to care about it.B. She doesn’t think it is sustainable.C. She is doubtful of its practical value.D. She is very much opp osed to the idea.70. What does the author think of green fashion?A. Green products will soon go mainstream.B. It has a very promising future.C. Consumers have the fi nal say.D. It will appeal more to young people.PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION ADirections: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Eurail Passes are train Passes for flexible rail travel throughout Europe. There are four main types of Eurail Passes: the Eurail Global Pass, the Eurail Select Pass, The Eurail Regional Pass and the Eurail One Country Pass.There’s always a Pass which fits your wishes.If you’re planning to visit many countries in Europe in one long trip, the Eurail Global Pass is the way to go. The Eurail Global Pass is the standard pass, available for unlimited first-class travel in 21 countries for consecutive (连续的) periods ranging from 15 days to three months. This is a good option for people who want to spend a few days in each place they visit.While Eurail Global Passes are ideal for extensive multi-nation transportation, travelers who are visiting only three to five countries may be better off purchasing a Eurail Select Pass. With this flexible “designer” pass, you may choose three, four or five bordering European countries for a duration of five to ten travel days within a two-month period. The 23 different countries available allow for hundreds of different combinations. The travel days included with your Eurail Select Pass may be used either consecutively or non-consecutively.If you just want to focus on a specific region or country of Europe and learn more about the local culture, you may wish to consider the Eurail Regional Pass or Eurail One Country Pass. The Eurail Regional Pass allows you to visit two bordering European countries with unlimited rail travel for 3 up to 10 days within 2 months, and there are currently 20 combinations to choose from, such as Spain-Portugal, France-Switzerland and Belgium-Luxemburg. And you may enjoy, experience and explore one country in depth with the Eurail One Country Pass, which is also available for unlimited rail travel for 3 up to 10 days within 2 months.Before buying the Eurail Pass, you should know some tips to enjoy discounts and save money. Traveling with at least one companion? Try a Saver pass. The Eurail Saver Pass allows 2 to 5 passengers to travel together at all times under one single pass which is about 15% cheaper than the regular Eurail Pass. The Eurail Youth Pass offers 35% discount for passengers who are 25 or younger. It essentially provides the same benefits as the regular Eurail Pass, except that you travel in second class rather than first class. Young travelers can also travel in first class with an Adult Pass, but then there is no discount.Title: 71Saver Pass 78 2 - 5passengers1)passengerstravelingtogetherat alltimes2)one singlepassYouth Pass 35% 791)the samebenefits2) 80 [来源:学科网]SECTON BDirections: Read the following passage.

We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把……按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups:this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.81.

河南省五市2024届高三下学期第一次联考英语试卷(含答案)

河南省五市2024届高三下学期第一次联考英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Jonathan Drori's interest in plants dates back to his years when growing up in southwest London. They lived within walking distance of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, home to one of the most diverse collections of plants in the world. His parents would take him and his brother frequently to the gardens, exploring the grounds and discovering new plant species from around the world."My father was trained in botany but worked as an engineer, while my mother was interested in the beauty of plants," he says, "She would carry a magnifying glass in her purse, and we'd go to Kew every week to look at the individual plants."Now Drori is a botany expert. He's built a career as an educator, focusing on the environment and technology, and is also a productive author. His new book explains the historical and cultural significance of different plant species. Using a map as his guide, he selected about eighty plants from around the world, and each has an interesting backstory, that focuses on the cultural significance and botanical structure of each species.For example, amaranth (苋菜) from Peru has almost been forgotten, since it's often over- shadowed by more readily available whole grains like oats and rye. However, it has gained popularity in recent years thanks to being highly nutritious and a good source of beneficial acids. In fact, before the Spanish Conquest in 1519, amaranth was a major foodstuff of the Inca and Aztec empires. The Aztecs used its seeds for ceremonial purposes, mixing amaranth flour into figures representing important deities within their culture, such as Tlaloc, the god of rain.1.Where did Jonathan Drori's interest in botany mainly come from?A. His collectionB. His teachersC. His booksD. His childhood 2.Which of the following is the most possible title for Jonathan Drori's new book?A. Around the World in 80 PlantsB. How Plants Relate to CivilizationC. How Plants Tell Stories of HistoryD. A Brief History of Research on Plants 3.What leads to amaranth becoming more and more popular recently?A. Its historical valueB. Its ceremonial valueC. Its healthy valueD. Its cultural valueEarly in my time in China, I. asked a coworker, if she noticed anything Americans dothat is strange. "You're always fighting, even with your best friend, "she said. She had never, seen me fight with my friend, so I was surprised, until I realized she was referring to a philosophical debate. Though passionate, my friend and I would hardly have considered it a fight. According to him, many Chinese wouldn't tell their friend to" shut your mouth when you speak to me" or tell them, "your logic is so dumb-you don't have object permanence", which is opposed to social harmony.Words are metaphors, serving to comprehend abstract ideas or beliefs. Each language possesses an inner logic, influencing how its speakers structure sentences and understand words. This uniqueness extends beyond mere vocabulary; it spreads to the system of expression, shaping thoughts and ideas. Regardless-of how skilled one becomes at communicating, or how many dictionaries they've read, they cannot guarantee that the listener, understands them correctly.Each language barrier exists within speakers of the same language. In 2013, I worked with a British man who had lived in China for a-decade and spoke Chinese fluently. It took him about 10 years to fully understand the culture. Either I, 'm silly, or he was kidding me.I can confidently say that after all' this time, I'm even more confused, than I was then. The concepts and ideas I. learn about Chinese culture expand endlessly, and I suspect that will always be true. If I'm lucky, I'll have another 30 years of life, less time than more intelligent men than I have spent studying culture.Perhaps I'm not meant to understand China. There is acceptance and peace in that. With my foreign friends, I will joke and even tease them and with my Chinese friends, I will ask questions to avoid giving the impression I. am fighting with them. I will embrace cross-cultural confusion and persist in understanding my Chinese friends, family, coworkers and neighbors, because that knowledge bears gifts of wisdom and joy. My life is better for it. 4.What impression does the author leave on his Chinese friend?A. He specializes in debating.B. He is kind of rude to friends.C. He argues with others much.D. He is passionate about philosophy.5.What does the author stress about the language in Paragraph 2?A. Its inner logicB. Its significant complexityC. Its abstract originD. Its changing structure6.What makes the author more puzzled when living longer in China?A. Profound Chinese cultureB. His British friend's, experienceC. Little time spent with familyD. Different understanding of humor7.Which is the author's plan for future life?A. He will take China as it is.B. He will return to his motherland.C. He will be more serious in China.D. He will persist in academic study.In recent years, the popular idea of reducing carbon footprints by eating locally to cut down food miles has come under close examination. However, a recent study published in Nature Food indicates that global food miles might account for as much as 20 percent of food-related emissions, a significantly higher percentage than previous estimations. This statement begs the question: Are food miles more significant than we initially believed?Food miles represent the distance food travels from production to consumption, with previous studies suggesting that the emissions from these miles are tiny compared to the emissions produced during the food growing process. For instance, producing one kilogram of beef generates almost 99 kg of CO2, while apples only produce 0.4 kg per kilogram. If the goal is to minimize dietary carbon footprints, it would be more beneficial to choose foods with lower overall carbon footprints, even if they have to travel a distance. Therefore, reducing meat and dairy intake could prove to be a more effective strategy.The recent study doesn’t contradict (相矛盾) this conclusion. The reason why the reported proportion is higher is that the calculation includes all transport involved, including the transportation of fertilizers, farm equipment, and pesticides (杀虫剂). Hannah Ritchie, a researcher at the University of Oxford, suggests that a term other than "food miles" would be more appropriate to avoid any confusion. If the study had followed the standard definition of food miles, the per- centage would drop to 9 percent, which corresponds more closely with the 4 to 6 percent found in prior research.Moreover, the study theorizes that even if all food was produced in the countries where it is consumed, the reduction in emissions would only be 1. 7 percent. overall. This is due to the fact that a larger proportion of food would be transported by road rather than by sea, with trucks producing higher emissions per ton of cargo than ships."So, overall, the bottom line is still that what you eat has a much bigger impact on emissions than the distance that food has to travel to reach you, said Ritchie.8.What has the recent study found?A. Food production has caused a lot of carbon emissions.B. Carbon emissions from food miles are increasing rapidly.C. Carbon emission reduction largely depends on eating locally.D. Global food miles lead to more carbon emissions than expected.9.Why does the author mention "beef" and "apples" in paragraph. 2?A. To explain the benefits of applesB. To highlight food production's effectC. To compare beef and apple productionD. To advocate short-distance transportation10.Which of the following is the best solution to food-related carbon footprints?A. Supplying. high-calory foodsB. Upgrading food delivery systemsC. Reducing meat and dairy consumptionD. Avoiding chemical pesticides for plants11.What is the Ritchie's attitude toward the recent study finding?A. UnfavourableB. SupportiveC. TolerantD. UncertainTraditionally, many decisions about medical treatment were left up to doctors: They decided, and patients agreed. Today, health care professionals are embracing the idea of shared decision-making, where patients become informed partners in their choices. Health care professionals now focus on placing the patient at the center of care, informing them about their options, and engaging them in treatment decisions. For example, they engage patients by asking, "What's important to you? And what are your priorities and goals as we, talk about a treatment plan?""I think there's a strong recognition in American medicine, of the importance of patient engagement not only, in their care, but in deciding what types of care and types of procedures they're going to get," said Dr. Allen, a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora.A 2017 study, published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes found that people with heart disease who went through-shared decision-making had better physical and mental health, better obedience to medication and lower rates of staying in hospital and emergency department use. Patients also reported better communication with their doctors. When people are more engaged in decision-making, they understand the pros and cons of various treatment options, and they're more likely to stick to the treatment plan and to continue that communication.But research on how to best approach different, cultural groups is lacking. Many doctors cite limited time as a barrier, although research shows that shared decision-making can be accomplished even within short clinic visits. Also, current models of payment for doctors'visits do not always agree with the goals of shared decision-making. But underlying all that is that medical decisions can be "incredibly complicated"Making the practice work on a wider scale is an evolving process. But in the long run, Allen said: "shared decision-making can ensure that with all the amazing new technologies and treatments that we will have in medicine, they really can be applied to more patients in a tailored, meaningful way that meets their own values, goals and preferences."12.What role do doctors play in shared decision-making?A. They are at the center of care.B. They ask questions to patients:C. They follow patients' opinions.D. They present suggestions to patients. 13.Which can be a benefit to patients from shared decision-making?A. Shortened time in hospitalB. Improved healthy awarenessC. Reduced mental problemsD. Enhanced communication skills14.What is the biggest challenge to shared decision-making?A. Lack of family supportB. Limited time and moneyC. Uniqueness of medical treatmentD. Complicated medicine production process15.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Shared Decision Making: More than Technology?B. Shared Decision Making: an Ideal Way for PatientsC. Shared Decision Making: a Future Model of Hospitals?D. Shared Decision Making: Advantages and Disadvantages二、七选五16.Your alarm goes off on January 1.

While we may have good intentions when making resolutions, we are not actually making enough determination to live in a more controlled way. Changeinvolves a degree of stress, and someone not mentally equipped to handle that stress will struggle to change.So, what can you do to achieve your healthy goals in the new year? One idea is to think small rather than the opposite. ④ But in reality change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. Another helpful strategy is to design a personal reward system. Finally, set concrete goals. Instead of making a vague resolution like "I'm going to get in better shape this year, make a specific one. For example, "I'm going to run for 30 minutes every day" would be far more powerful. Most importantly, remember that despite their name, New Year's resolutions should be for life. ⑤ but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions permanently or at least until March.A. Change takes time and effortB. Instinctively, you step back in horrorC. It's probably related to self-disciplineD. Many people's plans involve grand measuresE. The answer is likely that we should be confidentF. New Year is a great time to be with family and friendsG.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AIn America, Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort: brilliant beaches, a lively boardwalk, plenty of restaurants and nightspots, and amusement rides sure to appeal to kids. Many believe Virginia Beach is at its best in the off-season, when the town is less crowded but the weather is still mild.Meanwhile, some safety tips should be followed, enjoying the happiness and excitement the beach offers.The number 1 safety tip concerns ocean safety: pay attention to Flag conditions posted on the lifeguard stands. Lifeguards post a red flag to warn when the ocean water is dangerous. Take them seriously! Tourists from land-locked regions are particularly easily attracted by the magic of the waves. However, a calm ocean can become risky without warning. Make sure you swim near a lifeguard. Swimming without lifeguard protection is almost five times as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguards.Never swim alone. Many drownings involve single swimmers. When you swim with someone else, if one of you has a problem, the other may be able to get help, including signaling for assistance from others.Don't fight the current. The facts show that some 80% of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches are caused by currents. These currents are formed by surf and gravity, because once surf pushes water up the slope of a beach, gravity pulls it back. This can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshore. If you are caught in a rip current, don't fight it by trying to swim directly to shore. Instead, swim parallel to shore until you feel the current relax, then swim to shore. Most rip currents are narrow and a short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety. 56.When coming to Viginia Beach, children can enjoy the happinessof________________.A. walking on the road made of woodB. joining the nightspotsC. riding a horse or a pumper carD. skiing in the sea57. Many people believe the best time to visit Virginia Beach may be ____.A. after autumn school term beginningB. in the summer vacationC. during the Christmas holidayD. in the cold winter58.Swimming in the sea you’d better not swim _______________.A. with a friendB. within the sight of the lifeguardC. with the currentD. as far as you like59.From the passage, we can know_______.A.one in five persons swimming in the sea is drownedB.if one with lifeguard were drowning, five persons without lifeguard would be,C.some 80% people drowning by the currents are rescued by lifeguardsD.some 20% drowning by the currents are rescued by life guards60.The passage mainly tells us ______________.A.Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resortB. the happiness and excitement the beach offersC. some safety tips when swimming in the seaD. the dangers for tourists from land-locked regions to swim in the seaBThis month, at the graduation ceremonies for Mills College, 94-year-old Hazel Soares will become a college graduate, 78 years after her high school graduationfrom then-Roosevelt High School in East Oakland, who is believed to be the second-oldest student in the world to ever graduate from a college.Soares has been married twice, raised six kids and seen two economic depressions,15 US presidents and two world wars. She's been a working single mother, a nurse,a concert event organizer and an art lover. She has more than 40 grandchildren.Born in Richmond on June 21, 1915, Soares traces her interest in art historyback to age 11 and the impression made on her the first time she saw Michelangelo's "David" in the Book of Knowledge. In 1996, at age 80, she traveled to Florence, Italy,to see the sculpture for herself.But setting records isn't what motivated Soares to renew her lifelong pursuitfor education when she enrolled at Chabot Community College in the mid-1980s andsettled on an art history major in Mills College in . "I've always had a basic curiosity about how to do things, whether it is a (cooking) recipe or identifyingpieces of art in historical context," she said.Then she plans to start looking for a job where she can use the skills and knowledge she acquired at the prestigious, private women's undergraduate college."I'd like to be a lecturer in a museum," Soares said. Soares still drives and sheis as healthy as a horse.Soares just might qualify as the second-oldest student in the world to ever earna college degree.

Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites.“Dog bites and maulings are a worldwide problem, particularly in children.〞 write Marina Morgan and John Palmer. Every year 250,000 people who have been bitten by dogs attend minor injuries and emergency units in the United Kingdom, and half of all children are reportedly bitten by dogs at some time, boys more than girls.Accurate death figures are difficult to obtain, but in the past five years, two to three cases a year have made news headlines.Based on the latest medical evidence, they advise doctors how to examine and treat a patient presenting with a dog bite. They discuss the risk of infection and when to refer to specialist care. For travelers bitten abroad, they suggest assessing the risk of rabies(狂犬病).In terms of prevention, they suggest that children should be taught to treat dogs with respect, avoid direct eye contact, and not tease them. They should be taught not to approach an unfamiliar dog; play with any dog unless under close supervision; run or scream in the presence of a dog; pet a dog without first letting it sniff you; or disturb a dog that is eating, sleeping, or caring for puppies.“Dog owners also need to change their behavior〞, says Rachel Besser, a children's doctor and lifetime dog owner, in an article.“It is clear that not all dog owners appreciate that children should not beleft unsupervised with a dog〞, she says. Just as some parents are obliged to take parenting classes, she would like to see compulsive classes for expectant dog ownersto teach them about the responsibilities of dog ownership. Educational programs arealso needed to teach children about some precautionary behaviors around dogs.Finally, she would like to see vets advising dog owners about bite prevention,and doctors promoting bite prevention when treating patients who have been bittenby dogs.66.

Not all dog owners appreciate that children should be left with dogs under supervision.D. Not all dog owners should attend classes about the responsibilities of dog ownership.70. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Dogs, Dangerous To ChildrenB. Children Should Know Behaviors Around Dogs.C. Doctors, Treat Dog Bites Correctly.D. Never Leave Children Unsupervised With DogsPART FOUR: WRITING (45 points)Section A 〔10 points〕Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram / Fill in the numberedblanks by using the information for the passage.Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answerLearning to improve your focus throughout the day can be a little difficult,only because we are talking about 18 to 24 hours, depending on the number of hoursyou sleep. However, if we break down your day into manageable time frames, it wouldmake it much easier to learn to improve your focus.Focus, or concentration, is a skill that can be taught, so there are some exercises you can do to improve your focus.Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minuteswithout moving or talking to anyone. Once you learn how to block out your surroundings,your focus will improve.Other mind exercises you can do are internalizing. This is when you pictureyourself in a desired situation, and then you work around your picture. Actors do this a lot to block out laughter, noise, or other distractions. An example of this would be to imagine you in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert. Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different scenarios were to happen. This can actually be a lot of fun, and you learn how to improve your focus by concentrating on one thing only.If this sounds a little strange to you, you could try another strategy. Why not make lists? Make a list for the things you need to accomplish for the morning, anotherfor the afternoon, and finally, another list for the evening. Study your lists carefully and see where you can move things around.For instance, if you have a dinner to arran ge that evening, don’t bunch up everything in the afternoon, right before the guests arrive. Divide your chores and errands between morning and afternoon, and give yourself an hour or two to relax before the guests arrive. Planning helps you focus. It will also not stress you out. Another way to improve your focus is to take breaks. If children have rest and lunch as their breaks, adults should also allow themselves the privilege of stoppingfor a drink or a 30 minute sitcom on TV. Of course, if you are working in an office, you are allowed coffee breaks. Use this time wisely. Don’t spend it with yourco-workers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office. Doing this would actually stress you and get you to lose focus on the things that needto be done. Your breaks should be as quiet as possible. Read a book, take a walk,or visit a daycare. Go and do anything that will give your brain a rest.The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds.Of course, it could also be because you are bored with nothing to do all day. A good balance between a too relaxed brain and an overly active brain is a desirable situation to be in. Find your capacity to work, and try not to veer away too far from it on a daily basis. Improving your focus also mean knowing what you can do and being confident about doing it well.Focus is important but difficult to improve.71 to improve your focus:I.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Sorry Mom, Carrots Won't Actually Improve Eyesight.Like many kids, I didn’t like vegetables — especially carrots and broccoli. Adults frequently told me that carrots would improve my eyesight, so that seemed like a good reason to try liking them.There was one person who didn’t tell me this; he actually told me the opposite. My grand father overheard somebody tell me that carrots would improve my eyesight. He didn’t say anything immediately, but he let me in on a little secret after that person left the room —it was all a big lie. Carrots do not improve your eyesight.Sure, carrots contain beta-carotene, which metabolizes into Vitamin A and everyone agrees that is essential for maintaining eye health, but it does not improve it (unless the body is deprived of it to begin with). Also, it really has nothing to do with carrots, the necessary vitamins can come from any source.So where did this myth come from?During World War II, the British were particularly good at shooting down Nazi bombers at night, when it’s almost impossible to see other p lanes. It was as if they had super-human sight, and they did. They had radar.Once news stories started to circulate about these pilots with seemingly super-human eyes, the government needed a good explanation to prevent the Germans from learning about this technology: Carrots.Flight Lieutenant John Cunningham, nicknamed “Cats Eyes〞 for his incredible ability to shoot down enemy planes, had a natural love for carrots. The story wrote itself and they explained that they were feeding other pilots a lot of carrots to improve their eyesight too.81. What function do people usually think the carrot has?〔no more than 5 words〕〔2 points〕82. According to the passage, why is the carrot important for eyesight? 〔nomore than 12 words〕〔2 points〕83. What made people think the British soldiers had super-human sight? 〔no more than 15 words〕〔3 points〕84. Why did this myth spread out that carrots can improve eyesight?〔no more than 16 words〕〔3 points〕Section C〔25 points〕Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given belowin Chinese.参考答案及录音原文:Text 1W: They don’t really think that you took it, do they?M: I don’t know.

It’s easier to get in andout.W: Thanks. Where should we put our luggage?M: I think the smaller carry-on bag can go in the overhead place, and the others can go under the seat.W: Good idea.M: Don’t forget to keep your seat belt on.W: OK. Hope it’s a pleasant trip.Text 4W: I have a question, Mr. Huggins. May I take sick leave? If so, whom should I ask? M: You can ask your department manager for permission. Remember that your leave should not delay your work or anyone else’s.W: Yes, I know. How long can I take off work?M: Well, it depends on each situation.
