2020-2021学年开封市第一中学高三英语期中考试试题及答案
2020-2021学年开封市第一中学高三英语期中考试试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIf you had the opportunity to live forever, would you take it? Keeping your body alive indefinitely still seems like an impossibility, but some scientists think that digital technology may have the answer: creating a digital copy of your “self” and keeping it “alive” online long after your physical body has ceased to function.In effect, the proposal is to clone a person electronically. Unlike the familiar physical clones — children that have identical features as their parents, but that are completely separate organisms with a separate life — your electronic clone would believe itself to be you. How might this be possible? The first step would be to mapthe brain.How? One plan relies on the development of nanotechnology (纳米技术). Ray Kurzweil — one of the kings of artificial intelligence — predicts that within two or three decades we will have nano transmitters that can be put into the bloodstream. Inthe capillaries (毛细血管) of the brain, they would line up alongside the neurons and detect the details of the cerebral (大脑的) electronic activity. They would be able to send that information to a receiver inside a special helmet, so there would be no need for any wires sticking out of the head.As a further step, Ray Kurzweil also imagines the nano transmitters being able to connect you to a world of virtual reality on the Internet, similar to what was shown in the film “Matrix”. With the nano transmitters in place, by thought alone, you could log on to the Internet and instead of the pictures coming up on your screen, they would play inside your mind. Rather than send your friends e-mails you would agree to meet up on some virtual tropical beach.Some peoplebelieve that they can enjoy life after death. But why wait for that when you could have a shot of nanobots (纳米机器人) and upload your brain onto the Internet and live forever as a virtual surfer?One snag: to exist on the net you will have to have your neural network parked on the computer of a web-hosting company. These companies want real money in real bank accounts every year or they will wipe your bit of the hard disc and sell the space to someone else. With your body six feet underground how will you pay?1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Nano transmitters can help map the human brain.B. Electronic clones recreate the original human body.C. Electronic clones may put their physical selves into movies.D. Nano transmitters use a helmet to detect the cerebral activities.2. What is the author’s attitude towards electronic clones?A. Optimistic and careful.B. Interested and unconvinced.C. Excited and confused.D. Assured and critical.3. The author asks “how will you pay?” at the end of the article, because ________.A. you can’t pay to exist on the Internet if you are physically deadB. you can’t pay for hard disc space if you don’t have a bank accountC. you can’t pay for a special service if too many people want to use itD.you can’t pay the web-hosting company if you don’t have a neural networkBFirst grader Gavin Clampett was diagnosed(诊断) with Tourette’s Syndrome at the age of five. Due to the neurological(神经的) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. In an effort to prevent the unkind comments, Gavin’s mother, 32yearold Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn, nine, and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.In the video, which Rebecca also shared on YouTube, Gavin’s sister Brynn starts by answering the question “What is Tourette’s Syndrome?” She explains, “It is a neurological disorder, which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements. These are called tics(抽搐), but not like a tic that is found outside. These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable, quiet or loud.”School can be hard for all kids. That canbe even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day. “I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourette’s Syndrome are brave. So be kind to them and don’t treat them differently because they are just like you”, Brynn says in the video.Gavin concludes, “Everyone could play with someone. Some people think I can’t because I’m different but actually I can. Some are afraid that I will say dirty words, but actually I won’t. The disease bothers me a little, but I’m OK.”4. What can we know about Tourette’s Syndrome?A. It can be treated with drugs.B. It is usually found at an early age.C. People with it will say dirty words.D. People with it can make uncontrolled sounds.5. Because of the disease, others often _________.A. take pity on GavinB. give a hand to GavinC. keep away from GavinD. look down upon Gavin6. In the video, Gavin’s sister __________.A. explains her brother’s diseaseB. expresses her love for her brotherC. complains about unkind commentsD. encourages others to donate money7. What can be used to best describe Gavin?A. Lucky.B. Helpless.C. Optimistic.D. Stubborn.CThe outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.8. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.9. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?A. It is boring to make comments.B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.10. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.11. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.DAfter finishing his dinner, Lin Xu opened a WeChat mini-program called "Clear Plate" on his phone and took picture of the empty plates. He was then awarded 157 credit points after the image was uploaded and recognized by artificial intelligence.“Users of the app can use their credit to buy gifts, such as books and cellphones to purchase charity meals donated to children in poor rural areas,” Lin said.A nationwide "Clear Your Plate" campaign is gaining steam online. Efforts to stop food waste and promotethrift are also being made by restaurants that have been urged to create an environment in which consumers are reminded not to waste food. They are also encouraged to offer different portion sizes so that customers can have more choices.The “Clear Plate” mini-program has become popular among young Chinese and currently has nearly 1 million users.Liu Jichen, founder of the startup that developed the app, said that the idea popped up at a dinner in 2017, when Liu found that a restaurant would give diners who polished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected.“Such an idea can be realized online,” Liu said. He formed a team to work on the project.Yet it was quite challenge for the AI system to identify whether the uploaded photos showed empty plates.To make the AI system smarter, Liu and his team, assisted by more than 1,000 others, spent half a year collecting over 100, 000 samples in canteens and restaurants across the country and used the data to train neural network. Dozens of enterprises, institutions and restaurants have contacted the startup to cooperate on the project.Through the visualized mini-program, people can clearly see the good results of saving food, which will effectively reduce waste, he noted. "We hope our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation, encouraging them to carry out the virtue of cherishing food and developing the habit of thrift, " Liu said12. What is the main function of the APP "Clear Plate?A. Awarding credit points.B. Giving charity meals.C. Showing the empty plates.D. Encouraging saving food.13.

People are encouraged to buy gifts.14. What was the most difficult when the app was created?A. Getting other people to cooperate with the team.B. Collecting samples in canteens and restaurants.C. Ensuring the app to recognize empty plates.D. Finding people to fund the app.15. What is the purpose of the writing?A. To introduce an app.B. To promote saving food.C. To praise a startup founder.D. To raise fund for poor children.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。
河南省开封市2020-2021学年高一上学期五县期中联考英语试题
2020-2021上学期期中考厦门一中高一一、阅读理解AAs each semester begins, my colleague greets his students wearing a jacket and tie.“You make only one first impression, " he says. So, while the rest of the semester he t eaches class in his usual, more casual clothes, the first week he presents a different image.His thought is that students will remember their encounter positively and more readily think highly of him as the semester goes on because that favorable first impression has an influence on them. The big influence of first impressions is related to the halo effect, where the perception of the positive qualities in one thing or part gives rise to the perception of similar qualities in related things or in the whole.Here is an example: You meet a friendly person at a party and later are asked to collect money for a worthy cause. You call that person because you think she will make a contribution. In reality, there is no connection between being pleasant and being generous. Yet the halo effect leads you to think that the two are related.The halo effect is powerful, but is it questionable whether it matters much in long-term relationships, such as that between teachers and students? While dressing up may make students think the teacher must know his subject matter because he creates a professional first impression, the effect wears thin if the person turns out to be a poor teacher after all.First impressions matter but they don't have the final word. Facts speak louder. If you had never seen or heard of Einstein, the first time you saw him your impression would most likely be negative. Now his face is connected with genius, not madness because he is the person who has come to define what genius is.The problem is that few of us are Einstein and we often don't get the chance to change a negative first impression.（）21. In the author's eyes, the halo effect_________.A. is surprisingly powerfulB. may affect our judgment of othersC. matters more in the long runD. makes some teachers irresponsible（）22. The author uses the example of Einstein to show the importance of________.A. appearanceB. impressionsC. truthD. fairness（）23. The author seems to advise readers________.A. to mind their first impressionsB. not to judge a book by its coverC. not to follow others’ judgmentD. to pay no attention to the halo effectBHe must have had that nice window seat all the way from London. An Indian, he looked under 40, medium height, slim and wore a suit. I got an aisle seat next to him. I looked at him and tried to smile as I sat down. But there was a blank, distant look that made me stop mid-smile. One of those, I thought.Each time I take a flight, I try to chat with a fellow passenger. Most people are responsive when they’re alone at 40,000 feet. But the man wearing the suit on my left was a puzzle. One of those non-resident Indians, I thought. What do you lose if you just smiled at a fellow human being? Most of the time, he stared fixedly at the seat in front of him. Why are some people so full of themselves?When the stewardess brought lunch, the unfriendly man had his eyes shut. She gave me a should-I-wake-him-up look. I didn’t say anything, and he didn’t get his lunch. Serves him right. He soon woke up an d saw me eat. But he didn’t ask for his meal. He could just have pressed a button. That’s his problem.We still have almost two hours of flying left. I read a magazine. I try to play a video game. I listen to music. He does nothing. At times our eyes meet, but he isn’t all there. He’s like no other passenger I’ve ev er sat next to. By the time our jet lands in Mumbai, I find his presence almost uncomfortable. As we taxi down the runway, I hear the man speak for the first time—on his mobile phone. He seems to be discussing his connecting flight. About somebody receiving him… Just before the aircraft comes to a halt, he’s the first to stand up. “Excuse me,” he says to me. “May I leave? I can’t miss my connecting flight.”Hmm…! I get up to make way for him when he goes on mechanically, “My wife and child died in a road accident inDelhi.” I’m shocked by his words. Suddenly, everything falls in place.Despite his terrible loss and the sufferings he has been enduring, he was calm, controlled throughout. And, maybe, in the midst of his soul-crushing sorrow, he didn’t want to burden a stranger with his pain.（）24. How does the author find the passenger in a suit sitting close by during the flight?A. Dangerous.B. Angry.C. Troublesome.D. Dull.（）25. Which statement is true according to the text?A. The author was guilty of not informing the man of the lunch service.B. The man showed little interest in the author’s attempt to make acquaintances.C. The man refused to talk on the plane because he had trouble connecting the flights.D. A car crash cost the man his beloved family in Mumbai.（）26. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Everything goes wrong to a certain extent.B. The man’s strangeness has an understandable reaso n.C. Everyone on board feels sorry for mistaking the man.D. All passengers make way for the man.（）27. What lessons did the author learn in the end?A. Never assume until you walk in the other’s shoes.B. Nothing is so certain as the unexpected.C. What’s done cannot be undone.D. Let bygones be bygones.CFor some people, walking or running outdoors is a great way to work out. What may not be so pleasant is seeing trashall over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging!“Plogging” began in Sweden. The name combines the Swedish word “plocka,” which means to pick up, and the word Jogging, which means to run slowly. A Swedish man named Erik, started the movement in 2016. On the World EnvironmentDay website, Erik says that he moved to Stockholm from a small community in northern Sweden each day he would ride his bike to work. Concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to work, he took matters into his own hands.Plogging, by that term, may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington, D.C. He often picks up trash while running outside. He even has turned it into a game; he will try to pick up the trash withoutstopping. “I didn’t know it was a thing really. This is just my personal ethics (道德标准), where I go for a run and if I happen to see a piece of garbage lying around and it’s within reach — it is a kind of a little test for me to see if I can grab it and throw it in a near trash can without stopping. And that way, I think, it gives me a little exercise and a little focus for my run. And it helps clean up the neighborhood,” he announced.Today, plogging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular. Cities around the world now hold logging events, “I would just hope people would think twice before dropping a garbage on the ground. We have containers seems on every block. So, it’s easy to put your garbage in the trash cans. I just think people should think about it a little bit more. I do hope one day there will not be a need for plogging.” said an interviewee.（）28. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “took matters into his own hands”?A. called on people to join him.B. appealed to people to go green.C. began to pick up the trash.D. had the collected trash recycled.（）29. What does the example of Jeff Horowitz tell us?A. Plogging comes naturally to joggers who care about the environment.B. Plogging is an easy way to clean the environment.C. It doesn’t make any sense to joy without picking up trash.D. It is better to clean up the neighborhood by plogging.（）30. What is the idea that Logging events are meant to promote?A. Jogging is truly beneficial.B. Trash cans should be within reach.C. Littering is not acceptable.D. Communities should be kept clean.（）31. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. New Exercise Enjoys unbelievable popularityB. New Exercise Trend Also Helps EnvironmentC. Plogging — a Fashionable Way to clear wasteD. Plogging — an Exercise Originating in SwedenDLast night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg，a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left，and I became increasingly impatient.At one point along an open road，I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now，but as I drove near the light，it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left，right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, nosuggestion of car lamps，but there I sat，waiting for the light to change，the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught，because there was clearly no policeman around，and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night，the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract we all have with each other. It's not only the law，but it's an agreement we have，and we trust each other to honor it：we don't go through red lights.Trust is our first inclination（倾向）. Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual（相互的）trust，not distrust. We do what we say we'll do，we show up when we say we'll show up；and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters，and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.（）32. Why did the author get impatient while driving?A. He was lonely on the road.B. He got tired of driving too long.C. He was slowed down by a truck.D. He came across too many traffic lights.（）33. What was the author's immediate action when the traffic light turned red?A. Driving through it.B. Stopping still.C. Looking around for other cars.D. Checking out for traffic police.（）34. The event made the author strongly believe that ___________.A. a society needs mutual trustB. doubting others is human natureC. patience is important to driversD. traffic rules may be unnecessary（）35. Why was the author proud of himself?A. He made a right decision.B. He held back his anger.C. He followed his inclination.D. He kept his promise.EA pile of homework can seem daunting.

Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky.

2020-2021学年开封高级中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案
2020-2021学年开封高级中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIt was a weeknight and one of my twin daughters marched into the room, waving a book she'd finished. “Dad, why are books with science in them always about boys?” she asked.I told her that simply wasn't true; there were loads of great science fictions with girls in them. She agreed, but argued that in those stories it was the boys who were doing science, and the girls were justalong for the ride. My other daughter took her sister's side and challenged me to give an example.This left me in a difficult position. I could either go through our library to point out some wonderful examples of female-led science fictions, or just admit they were right and remain in my comfortable chair.I've been asked several times how I came up with the idea forA Problematic Paradoxand my answer is always the same: it came to me in a moment of inspiration. I like that answer because it's simple and makes me seem very creative. The fact that this explanation is not true bothers me from time to time. Here's the truth: the story wasn't my idea. It was my daughters who suggested I write something for them that had a girl doing science.My daughters were at an age when many young women turn away from STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), believing those areas of study unfriendly or out-of-the-norm for girls. I also read about how important role models can be to young people. It's one thing to tell a person they can do something, but seeing someone like them doing that thing can be more powerful.So, I kept two guidelines for the book in mind: First, the story had to be fun for anyone, because it's as important for boys to understand that science is for everyone. Second, I wanted the main character, Nikola, to be imperfect. She should be someone with shortcomings as we all have. I think this not only makes a story more interesting to read, but also helps make it clear that the most extraordinary things can be done by ordinary people.1. What does the underlined phrase “along for the ride” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Entering a bike race.B. Offering vital help.C. Doing unimportant things.D. Playing the leading role.2. What do we know about the bookA Problematic Paradox1?A. Its main character is perfect.B. It is a female-led science fiction.C. It is intended to appeal to girls only.D. Its idea comes from the author's inspiration.3. Which of the following best describes the author's book?A. Serious and abstract.B. Simple and practical.C. Creative and well-organized.D. Inspiring and interesting.B“One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” That’s a common expression, but the next time you throw something away, think about a twist on the old saying. What if your trash could become your own treasure? Many creative, thrifty, and environmentally minded people have come up with a way to makethathappen. It’s called upcycling. Our world would be a better place if everyone would begin upcycling.Upcycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful. For example, how about that pair of jeans with a hole in one knee? It could become a new pillow for your bedroom.Upcycling is not the same as recycling. Upcycling is actually much better for the environment. Recycling takes an item made of glass, paper, metal, or plastic, breaks it down to its base material, and then uses that material to make another product. This requires a great deal of energy. On the other hand, when you choose to upcycle, the only energy you use is your own. And upcycling not only reduces the amount of trash that goes into our landfills, but it also protects natural resources, such as oil and gas. Recycling is good for the environment, but upcycling is even better.Upcycling also makes a family’s budget stretch further. Of course, the idea of reusing items to save money is not new. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, many families lived on a tight budget.

Even if you can’t see it with a naked eye, experts say it may be saturated(使饱和)with millions of toilet germs!Dr. Charles Oerba, a germ expert, is amicrobiology professor at the University of Arizona. He says there are approximately 3 million bacteria per square inch in most toilet bowls, and every time you flush it without closing the lid, those millions of bacteria droplets spray into the air as far as twenty feet away and dirty everything in their path. And a common victim is your poor toothbrush, usually, left out on the bathroom sink, right?So, what do we do? Dr. Gerba says it’s easy. Close the toilet lid before you flush—that’ll greatly cut downthe germs, which will otherwise float in the air. And wash your toothbrush every few days in mouthwash or peroxide to get rid of any germs hiding in it. You can even put it through the dishwasher to sanitize(消毒)it. And always store your toothbrush in a closed cabinet.Here’s one more tip from Dr. Gerba, who says our kitchen sink is probably dirtier than our toilet. “If an alien came from space and studied the bacterial counts, he probably would conclude he should wash his hands in your toilet and go to the bathroom in your sink.” He says that’s because the kitchen sink is a great place where E. coli(大肠杆菌)to live and grow since it’s wet and damp. Bacteria feed on the food that people put down the drain or—that’s left on dishes in the sink. To reset your sink’s bacteria count back to zero, you’d better regularly wash itwith hot water and sanitize yoursink with special chemicals. In fact, you may want to do it every day or before preparing dinner.8. What is the purpose of the text?A. To show how to brush your teeth.B. To tell people the importance of health.C. To warn people of the invisible germs.D. To introduce a microbiology professor.9. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Bathroom sinks are the dirtiest places.B. Bacteria are bad for people’s health.C. Why bacteria spread through the air.D. How bacteria spread in the bathroom.10. What does the underlined word“that”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The food.B. The toothbrush.C. The sink.D. The chemical.11. Why does Dr. Gerba mention the example of an alien?A. To tell us a fiction story of an alien studying bacteria.B. To show our kitchen sink may be dirtier than our toilet.C. To teach us how to reset sink’s bacteria count back to zero.D. To prove coli prefers to live in the kitchen and the drain.DThere are many useful things we can do each day to feel better. It may take some efforts and time to make a habit of drinking 8 glasses of water daily or thinking more positively, but it is well worth it. What things do you do every day to feel better?Probably the healthiest thing you can do to feel better each day is to exercise early in the morning. You don't have to run the whole morning or spend a few hours in the gym. Even doing some easy exercise like walking, sit-ups or jumping the rope will help you feel better in no time!Again, due to our busy schedules, we don't get enough sleep each night. If you have trouble falling asleep, avoid watching TV or surfing the Internet right before bed. Also, try to make healthy bedtime snack choices and don't drink tea or coffee too late in the day.If you drink 3 glasses of water, 4 glasses of coffee or tea and a glass of soda each day and think that you drink enough water, think again. Your body needs water (not coffee or soda!) to function properly. Aiming to drink 7-8 glasses of water each day can make you feel better.Being positive is the key to a longer life. Positive thoughts can help improve your overall heath. Life is full of stressful situations and it's hard to stay cheerful when everything goes wrong, but your positive attitude can help you solve any problem and fight any stress faster and easier. Your positive attitude is especially good for your heart health. Smile, stay positive and live a longer life!12. In the author's opinion which can benefit us most in order that we feel better?A. Sleeping enough.B. Drinking enough water.C. Thinking more positively.D. Taking morning exercise.13. Which of the following agrees with what is said in Paragraph 3?A. Drinking tea or coffee makes us sleep less.B. Drinking tea before bed makes it harder to fall asleep.C. Watching TV or surfing the Internet leads to less sleep.D. Our busy schedules cause more difficulty in falling asleep.14. Why is water necessary to our body?A. Because it can make us feel better.B. Because it can have our body work smoothly.C. Because in can do more good to our body thancoffee.D. Because it can hep avoid feeling thirsty.15. What do we need most when everything goes wrong?A. Thinking positively.B. Thinking out wise ways.C.

The young girl carefully released the butterfly. Instead of flying away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy. The young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief.“For your wonderful kindness,” the good fairy said to the girl, “I will give you any wish you would like.” The little girl though t for a moment and then replied, “I want to be happy.”The fairy leaned toward her and whispered（耳语）in her ear. Then the fairy disappeared.As the little girl grew up, there was no one in the land as happy as she. Everyone asked her secret of happiness. She would only smile and answer, “The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a good fairy when I was a little girl.”When she was very old and on her deathbed, the neighbors all gathered around her, afraid that her unbelievable secret of happiness would die with her. “Tell us, please,” they begged, “Tell us what the good fairy said.” The lovely o ld woman simply smiled and said, “She told me that everyone, no matter how secure（安全的）they seemed, no matter how old or young, how rich or poor, had need of me.”56. Noticing the butterfly was caught by the thorn, the orphan girl .A. felt sorrow, but she didn’t help itB. failed to help it release from the thornC. fell down on it tooD. helped the butterfly escape from the thorn57. The butterfly after being saved by the little girl.A. flied awayB. was more beautiful than beforeC. changed into a fairyD. still died58. The only thing that the little girl wanted was .A. wealthB. parentsC. happinessD. friends59. The neighbors all gathered around the old happy woman when she was dying,because .A. they loved this woman deeply and they didn’t want her to dieB. the woman had lots of money to be shared as soon as she diedC. they wanted to pray for her after her deathD. they wanted to know the secret of her lifetime happinessB“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net.”“I often check my e-mail forty times a day. ”“I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net.”“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-life’ friends.”Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction（上瘾）called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug（毒品）use. People lose control（控制）of the time they spend on the Internet.For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the net for several days straight.Studies show that about 6% to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.Is “surfing the net” a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms（症状）: ①You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet. ②You can’t wait for your next online time. ③You go out with your friends less and less. ④You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.60. How does the writer describe the addicts’ use of Internet?A. It is something like keeping drugs.B. It is like taking drugs.C. It is a way of producing drugs.D. It is terrible to imagine.61. Why do people worry about the teens?A. The teens are wasting too much money.B. They used to work on the Internet.C. The playing field of the teens will disappear.D. More and more of the teens will become addicted to the Internet.62. The example in the passage shows that .A. some of the Internet users have already been seriously addictedB. Internet addicts usually stay in the computer lab without sleepC. Internet problems are more serious among college studentsD. the police often help to find those Internet addicts63. What is the writer trying to tell us at the end of the passage?A. Do things as you have planned.B. Go to family activities more often.C. Don’t be addicted to the Internet.D. Stay with your parentsas often as possible.CLast week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult(成年人)I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s fri ends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.64. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A. He was silent most of the time.B. He was too proud ofhimself.C. He did not love his children.D. He expected too much of her.65. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel .A. nervousB. sorryC. tiredD. safe66. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?A. More critical.B. More talkativeC. Gentle and friendly.D. Strict and hard-working.67. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to .A. the author’s sonB. the author’s fatherC. the friend of the author’s fatherD. the café ownerDThe English translations of the names of traditional Chinese dishes on menus across the country have caused public discussion about the precision(准确) of the translations.Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus. They want to make it easier for foreigners to order Chinese dishes when they travel. Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners’ knowledge of Chinese cuisine(烹饪).But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations haven’t live up to public expectation（期望）. It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe. Instead, the translations only pr ovide a list of each dish’s ingredients, the article notes. For example, one English name of a Chinesedish appears as “stir-fried mutton slice with Chinese onion and green scallion(葱爆羊肉)”.Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, it fails to describe the dish’s rich cultural meaning and charm. The dish’s beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang(佛跳墙)”, has a story behind it. Buddhist monks (和尚) are required to eat vegetables only , but they can’t resist(忍住)the delicious dish. So they jump over the temple walls to get a taste of the dish.The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful translations of the names of Chinese dishes. It also notes a more vivid(生动的) English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine.68. Why do many restaurants provide English translations of their menu ?A.Because they want to show their ingredients in dishes.B.Because the public expect them to do so.C.Because Chinese dishes are popular.D.Because it is convenient for foreigners to order food.69. According to China Youth Daily, what is the main problem of the English menu translation?A.They are too long to remember.B.Many of them are not correct.C.They lack cultural meaning and attraction.D.They are difficult to learn.70. What can we infer from the story of “Fo Tiao Qiang” dish?A.Monks can jump high.B.Monks lived a poor life.C.Old China had little meat for people.D.The dish attracted many people because it’s delicious.ENot all people like to work but everyone likes to play．All over the world men and women and boys and girls enjoy sports．____71 They help to keep people healthy and feeling good.

2020-2021学年开封高级中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案解析
2020-2021学年开封高级中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AJuanito Estrella has been a housekeeping manager on the US-based large passenger ship Carnival Spirit for 18 months and feels he has found the suitable position in his career(职业). He has always wanted to travel. “I guess I am a really restless spirit.I like traveling, so when the chance came, I jumped at it,” he says.The chance came in the form of a newspaper advertisement for work on cruise ships（游船）. At the time Estrella was the housekeeping manager at a Melbourne hotel. He applied and, after two interviews, a medical check and police clearance, the job was his.Estrella is responsible(负责的)for the cleanliness of the ship, making sure that 160 crew work properly. “I enjoy it because there is no other work-you wake up each day in a different place anda different culture. It’s exciting when you go to the next country and you don’t understand the language,” he says.Estrella likes being busy and getting to know people from all over the world. The 1,000 crew come from 94 countries, and Estrella has learnt Spanish and a little Croatian.But there is adownside. “You cannot get really drunk...because you have safety responsibilities to yourself and others,” he says. “You don’t really think about home.You start to think about home only when you get closer to your vacation and wonder what you’ll be doing.”Life on the ship is anything but cruising. Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day, seven days a week. He warns the job is not for everybody. “You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every day-and to give up drinking too much alcohol.” In his spare time, if the ship sails into a port, Estrella explores it, otherwise he works out in the crew’s gym, goes on the internet or calls home.1.Which of the following is true?A.He has been a housekeeping manager for 18 months.B.He doesn’t drink wine now.C.He cannot speak a foreign language.D.He used to be a housekeeping manager.2.The underlined word“downside”in paragraph 5 probably means ________ .A.disappointmentB.disadvantageC.failureD.loss3.In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that life on the ship is ________.A.not a tiring journey at allB.just an interesting voyageC.far from a voyage for pleasureD.more than a pleasant travel by seaBA PhD student inMichigandefended her paper while wearing a skirt madeof rejection letters she received while studying. 29-year-old Caitlin Kirby printed out 17 of her rejection letters — from scholarships, academic journals, and conferences — then folded each one into a fan. She connected them in rows, and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of reminded me that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said. "A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth and environmental science atMichiganStateUniversity, also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for students to get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling of rejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academic journal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things: Since her doctorate, she's won a scholarship to do further research on urban agriculture inGermany.Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As for what the future holds? "I'm prepared to receive a few more rejection letters along the way," she joked heartily, "Maybe I'll make a longer skirt."4. What can we learn about Caitlin Kirby's rejection letters?A. She received 17 rejections in total.B. 29 of her rejections were from journals.C. The rejections were connected into a fan.D. She made some rejection letters into a skirt.5. What is Julie Libarkin's attitude towards Caitlin's action?A. Favorable.B. Ambiguous.C. Skeptical.D. Opposed.6. Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?A. Creative and considerate.B. Caring and determined.C. Optimistic and humorous.D. Generous and intelligent.7. Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?A. Hard work pays off.B. Education is the entrance to success.C. Self-respect earns more respect.D. One needs to normalize failures.CAfter a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say, “Missionaccomplished!” Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from theNetherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.Dekker had wanted to lake on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in theNetherlandsstopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn’t spend all of her time at sea—she stopped at ports along the way—she did spend her 16lh birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.But Dekker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children fromattempting such dangerous feats (壮举). But that didn’t stop Dekker，who was born on a yacht during a seven-year world voyage undertaken by her parents.Dekker doesn’t mind that she won’t hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it.“I am not disappointed at all that Guinness World Record won’t recognize my attempt.” Dekker wrote on her website. “I did not start on my trip to achieve any record…I did it just for myself.”8. Dekker wasn’t allowed to sail at the age of 13 because .A. people were concerned about her safetyB.she didn’t learn any sailing skills wellC. she had to continue her study at schoolD. she didn’t have enough patience for long trips9. What does the underlined word “accomplished” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Failed.B. Completed.C. Continued.D. Started.10. In 2009 records for youngest sailors were canceled in order to .A. set a higher sailing standard for teen sailorsB. stop children entering Guinness World RecordsC. encourage parents to sail with their childrenD. prevent children making dangerous attempts11. What could be the best title for this passage?A. A New Guinness World Record in SailingB. A New Sailing Standard for Teen SailorsC. A Teen Girl Sailing Alone Aroundthe WorldD. The Youngest Sailor in Guinness World RecordsDMost teenagers are still trying to find their passion and purposes in life. However, not Gitanjali Rao. The 15-year-old girl has been coming up with innovative solutions to worldwide problems since she was ten. It is, therefore, not surprising that the teenager has won the honor of “America's Top Young Scientist”.In the third grade, Rao was inspired to build a device after witnessing the shocking story unfold in Flint, Michigan, where cost-cutting measures led to the use of a polluted river as the city's primary water supply and incredibly high levels of lead made their way into people's drinking water.After two months' research, Rao designed a small and portable device that used sensors to instantly detect lead in water. Called Tethys, after the Greek Goddess(女神) of freshwater, it attaches to a cellphone and informs the residents via an app if their drinking water contains lead. The design earned her the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2017.

It was a way to connect more with the place."McConaghy says she also wanted to have a character who was"of two places"."I had lived in 21 houses by the time I was 21, as a result I definitely know how it feels to feel as if you are not sure where you belong and feeling as if you are between two worlds."4.

C. to the 4th century A. D., the the ancient Olympics were held every four years in Olympia in honor of the god Zeus. The first modern Olympics took place in1896 inAthens, and featured 280 participants from 13 nations, competing in 43 events. Since 1994, the Summer and Winter Olympic Games have been held separately every two years. The 2020 Summer Olympics, delayed one year because of the COVID-19, was held in Japan in 2021.The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a festival honoring Zeus. The Games were named for their location (位置) at Olympia, a place near the western coast in southern Greece. Their influence was so great that ancient historians began to measure time by the Olympic Games held every four years.After the Roman Empire conquered (征服) Greece in the mid-2nd century B.C., the Games continued, but their standards and quality dropped. For example from 67 A. D., the Emperor Nero entered an Olympic horse race, announcing himself the winner even after he fell off hishorse during the event. In 393 A. D., Emperor TheodosiusⅠended the ancient Olympic tradition.It was another 1,500 years before the Games rose again, largely thanks to the efforts of Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) of France. Working hard at the development of physical education, the young man became inspired by the idea of creating a modern Olympic Games after visiting the ancient Olympic building. In November 1892, at a meeting of the Union des Sports Athlétiques in Paris, Coubertin suggested the idea of making theOlympics an international athletic competition held every four years. Two years later, he got the approval (批准) he needed to found the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ), which would become the governing body of the modern Olympic Games.8. What do we know about the modern Olympics?A. The modern Olympics became famous in the 18th century.B. The first Winter Olympics was held in 1994.C. The first modern Olympics dates back to 1896.D. The latest Winter Olympics will delay for two years.9. How often were the ancient Olympics held?A. Every year.B. Every other year.C. Every three years.D. Every four years.10. When did the ancient Olympics end?A. In 393 A. D.B. In 67 A. D.C. In the mid-2nd century B. C.D. About 1,500 years ago.11. What is the best title of the text?A. The ancient OlympicsB. The modern OlympicsC. The Olympics developed through yearsD. The Olympics are popular in modern timeDAlthough computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does. You can potentially remember more by handwriting, according to a new study.The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer one question: How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information?In all,24 participants took part. Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard. While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors. Those sensors recorded the participants' brainwaves. The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn't.Audrey van der Meer, the new study's leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. “This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on,” she explains. Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. “Rather than typing blindly, the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be interlinked by boxes, arrows and small drawings,” she adds.This study does not recommend banning digital devices. In fact, its authors point out, computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society. Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs (such as if they have trouble using their hands) and typing beats writing when it comes to speed, they add.12. Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study?A. To record their brainwavesB. To inform them of their tasksC. To allow them to focus on writingD. To protect their heads like hair nets13. What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain?A. Why handwriting is more complex than typingB. Why the brain works when it comes to learningC. Why handwriting helps remember informationD. Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking14. What is the study's authors' view on typing?A. It relieves people's handsB. It remains vital and helpfulC. It is not worth recommendingD. It is more challenging than writing15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A. How Can You Remember New Information?B. Handwriting Benefits Health in the LongRunC. Should Typing Take the Place of Handwriting?D. Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing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。

"Don't let me down."Serena was the oldest child in the family,and one of her chores was to mow theiryard.Mrs.Martin,their elderly neighbor,was unable to take care of her yard,so Serena's Dad had volunteered Serena for this job.Since Mrs.Martin's yard was not very big,Serena knew the job would go quickly.However,she still resented her dad's promise."Why didn't you ask me first？" Serena had complained."Did you ask me first when you volunteered me to be in the school festival last fall？"asked Serena's father."Well,no,I didn't ask you first,but you would have done those things anyway.You'realways willing to help.""I try when I can," Dad answered. "Serena,we have known Mrs.Martin for a very longtime.She has often helped our family.Now we can do something for her.Besides,thefeeling you get from helping someone makes you wonder who is really helping whom.""I don't know,Dad," said Serena.

But today very few people can speak it fluently.In fact,you can count the number of fluent speakers on one hand.More than 10，000 entries can be found in the Siletz Online Talking Dictionary.Professor Harrison has posted talking dictionaries for seven other highly endangered languages from around the world.He says technology can not only spread the influence of major languages but also help save endangered ones.Smartphone apps,YouTube videos and Facebook pages have all become digital tools for language activists and experts.Mr.Harrison and a researcher in Oregon have mapped areas of endangered languages.One is the Pacific Northwest in the United States.Others include the upper Amazonbasin,Siberia and northern Australia.In Canada's far north,the Inuit people are struggling to preserve their nativelanguage,Inuktitut.Part of the effort involves（涉及）Microsoft.The company is translating terms in its Windows operating system and Office software into Inuktitut.Nowadays so many people will spend their entire day sitting in from of a computer.If you're sitting in front of your computer in English all day,that just reinforces（强化）English.If you're now using Inuktitut,it is reinforcing that this is your language.Microsoft has also worked with language activists in New Zealand,Spain and Wales to translate its software into Maori,Basque,Catalan and Welsh.8.Why are the people of the Siletz India tribe proud of their language？______A. It's easily mastered.B. It's widely spoken nowadays.C. It has a long history.D. It deserves scientific research.9.What does Harrison think of technology according to paragraph 3？______A. It changes the way young people learn a language.B. It makes learning a language a fashionable thing.C. It makes it possible to master a language quickly.D. It helps protect the endangered languages.10.Why does Microsoft translate its software into Inuktitut？______A. To make Inuktitut spoken worldwide.B. To learn other languages conveniently.C. To help spread the use of Microsoft software.D. To strengthen the use of Inuktitut.11.What is the text mainly about？______A. The effects of modern technology on languages.B. Efforts made to save languages in danger of dying.C. Some languages having the most speakers worldwide.D. The contribution Harrison made to the Siletz Indian tribe.DIn so many ways,cyberspace （网络空间）mirrors the real world.People ask forinformation,play games,and share hobby tips.Others buy and sell products.Still others look for friendship,or even love.Unlike the real world,however,your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen.Identity（身份）and appearance mean very little in cyberspace.Rather,a person's thoughts - or at least the thoughts they type - are what really count.So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.Usually,this "faceless" communication doesn't create problems.Identity doesn't really matter when you're in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies.In fact,this stress on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation.Where else can so many people come together to chat？But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with.They're looking for serious love relationships.Is cyberspace a good place to find love？That answer depends on whom you ask.Some of these relationships actually succeed.Others fail.Supporters say that the Internet allows couples lo gel lo know each other intellectually（智力地）first.Personal appearance doesn't get in the way.Bill others argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace.Why？Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them.Internet users can carefully change their words to fit whatever image（形象）they want to give.In a sense,they're not really themselves.All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace.But not knowing a person isa big problem in a love relationship.With so many unknowns,it's easy to let one'simagination "fill in the blanks." This unavoidably leads to disappointment when couplesmeet in person.How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different than the real person.So,before looking for love in cyberspace,remember the advice of Clifford Stoll："Life in the real world is far richer than anything you'll find on a computer screen."12.Which of the following is not true according to the passage？______A. It is possible that people can't find true love online.B. Appearance and identity is of little importance for relationship online.C. A shy person will surely become talkative online.D. Internet users are encouraged to create images in cyberspace.13.What's the main idea of Paragraph 5？______A. Cyberspace mirrors the real world.B. Don't judge a book by its cover.C. Inner beauty is more important than appearance.D. Things are not always what they seem.14.What does "this" in Paragraph 6 refer to？______A. The online friend.B. One's imagination.C. Love relationship.D. The real friend.15.What is the author's attitude towards looking for love cyberspace？______A. He is against it.B. He supports it.C. He cares little about it.D. He is interested in it.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）BE A GOOD TOURIST Tourism can be both good and bad.Yes,it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals. (1)(2) Tourists have used paint,rocks,or oven keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt,theColosseum in Rome,Stonehenge in the UK，memorial stones at the bottom ofQomolangma,and many,many other places.Thousands of tourists sites are being destroyed by tourists who "love them to death". (3) If you want to leave a mark on the world,do it by changing someone's life with kindness and love.Pass kindness along to futuregenerations,not destruction.Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing the local people and life.Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without asking for theirpermission.For example,Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas,taking pictures of students and disturbing theirstudies.I have three words for tourists like this：please be considerate. (4)The number of problems from tourists is endless：walking in large groups withoutconsidering others who need to walk by,crossing roads without observing local traffic laws,and many more.The only way to solve the issue of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one!

You may wonder how paving(铺砌)a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(缺乏).Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱)than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks(滴水)in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.4. What can we know from the passage?A. Paving roads has great effect on groundwater.B. All water shortages are due to human behavior.C. There is much we can do to reduce family size.D. The average family in America makes proper use of water.5. How can people make sure of enough water supply?A. To pave less roads.B. To reduce human activities.C. To use less water every day.D. To have a good management of water.6.

To prove what drinking glass is best for us.7. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Why paving roads reduces our water.B. How much we depend on water to live.C. Why droughts occur more in dry climates.D. How human activity affects our water supply.CIs running a marathon in under two hours possible? Will a human ever be able to run that fast? Currently, the world record for the 42. 195 km(26. 219 miles) distance is held by Kenyan Dennis Kimetto. His time of 2:02:57 hours was achieved at the Berlin Marathon of 2014.For many years, long-distance runners have been trying to get nearer and nearer to the magical mark of two hours. Studies published in the past by medical and athletic experts have come to the conclusion that running a marathon in under 2 hours can be done. They even see a time of around 1:57 as the fastest a human can ever run. However, we will have to wait at least a decade or longer for this to happen.Many things must fit together to deliver an under two-hour marathon. An athlete would have to have the perfect body size and weight, the right running strategy and of course, the right nutrition. Today's most perfect runners come from Kenya and Ethiopia, countries that have dominated(统治)long-distance races for decades. East African athletes have long legs and lungs that can take in lots of oxygen. Training at high altitudes gives them a strong heart and a very large blood volume(容量).Ideal weather conditions with cool temperatures and almost no wind will also be needed to attempt such a quick time. An ultra-fast marathon would only be possible on flat city courses, like Berlin or London, with few curves(弯道).Since the beginning of the modern Olympic Games in 1896, athletes have tried to run long-distance races as fast as possible. In 1900, the marathon world record was around 3 hours. In the following 30 years, men were able to reach a mark of 2:30. As time went on, achieving faster times became more and more difficult. In the last 15 years, for example, the world record has improved by only 3 minutes.On the other hand, some experts think that such fast performances will only be possible with the help of illegal drugs or substances(物质). In the past years, several East African runners have been tested positive and many of them banned.8. What's the function of Paragraph 1?A. To introduce readers a topic.B.

The basic purpose of a motor vehicle is to get from point A to point B as cheaply, quickly, and safely as possible.In addition, much of the world's economy is built on producing motor vehicles and supplying roads, services and repairs for those vehicles. Half of the world's paychecks are auto related. In the United States, one of every six dollars spent and one of every six nonfarm jobs are connected to the automobile or related industries, such as oil, steel, rubber, plastics, automobile services, and highway construction.In spite of their advantages, motor vehicles have many harmful effects on human lives and on air, water, land, and wild life resources. Since Karl Benz built the first automobile, almost 18 million people have been killed by motor vehicles. In addition to the tragic loss of life, these accidents cost American society about $ 60 billion annually in lost income and in insurance, administrative, and legal expenses.Los Angeles is a global symbol of urban sprawl(城市扩张)built around a vast network of freeways. An estimated one third of the city's total metropolitan(大都市的)area and two thirds of its downtown area are devoted to roads, parking lots and other automobile related uses. Each day, its network of streets and freeways is crowded with more than five million vehicles, which are responsible for 85%of both the air pollution and the noise in this urban area.If present trends continue, U. S. motorists will spend an average of two years of their lifetimes in traffic jams. Streets that used to be for people are now for cars. Pedestrians and people riding bicycles in the streets are subjected to noise, pollution, stress, and danger.Motor vehicles are the largest source of air pollution, producing a haze of smog over the world's cities. In the United States, they produce at least 50%of the country's air pollution. What doyou think should be done?12. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Automobile develops slowly in style.B.
