清华大学中学生标准学术能力诊断性测试2021年1月英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Four of the Oldest Buildings in the WorldKnap of HowarOne of the oldest buildings in the world is the Knap of Howar, which dates back to 3700-3500 BCE.The farmhouse is one of the oldest, still-standing stone houses in Europe. It includes two stone homes linked through a hidden passage and joint walls. Archaeologists say Irish or Scottish monks could be the first builders and residents of the Knap of Howar. Although the house is still standing, these abandoned places around the world are better candidates for restoration.Ġgantija TemplesThe Megalithic Temples of Malta, or the Ġgantija Temples, date back to 3600 to 3200 BCE. The two temples on the island of M alta are UNESCO World Heritage sites. It’s one of the oldest free-standing monuments in the world. Archaeologists think the temple was used for ritual animal sacrifices.Shunet el-ZebibShunet el-Zebib is partially standing, but mostly in ruins. It’s still, however, one of the oldest buildings in the world. The Egyptian temple built in 2750 BCE is of mud and brick. It has an underground tomb as well as an above-ground complex. Architecturally, it’s a nod to the Egyptian pyramids soon to come.Tomb of CyrusBuilt in 530 BCE, the Tomb of Cyrus is one of Iran’s World Heritage Sites and one of the oldest buildings on the planet. It’s also believed to be one of the first earthquake-protected structures in the world, according to Atlas Obscura. The base isolating used on the tomb protects the main structure from moving apart from the foundation.1．What do the four buildings have in common?A．All of them are located in Europe.B．All of them are made of stone and mud.C．All of them are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.D．All of them were built before the birth of Christ.2．Which of the four buildings may be the strongest?A．Knap of Howar. B．Ġgantija Temples.C．Shunet el-Zebib. D．Tomb of Cyrus.3．Which of the following is True according to the passage?A．Shunet el-Zebib is earthquake protected.B．Tomb of Cyrus has an underground tomb.C．Ġgantija Temples are built by Irish monks.D．Knap of Howar may be the oldest building among the four.In the summer of 2010, Deborah Barrett and her son, Anthony, walked out of a restaurant near theEdmonton high school from which he’d graduated two years earlier. They had volunteered to wash dishes there to give Anthony something to do, but when they went out, the sun sliced through the clouds and Deborah had a realization: my kid is not spending his life in a dish pit.Cleaning plates isn’t the only option for high-school graduates. But Anthony has autism （自闭症）and is mostly non-verbal, aside from short words in answer to yes-or-no questions and the Eeeee sounds he makes when he’s excited, happy or frustrated. Once a person with intellectual disabilities ages out of school, “There’s no life for them,” Deborah says. Programs end, and jobs are usually humble.As her son entered his 20s, Deborah thought about what he could do and what he enjoyed. Among his likes: being driven around and carrying things, as well as seeing new places but not staying long. Maybe he could be a courier? The catch: Anthony doesn’t move fast, and courier jobs would require his support staff to be his driver and co-worker.That wasn’t an issue for Mike Hamm. In 2012, he became Anthony’s new assistant and embraced the plan of spending part of their days delivering packages as a team. The pair called their venture Anthony at Your Service, signed a few customers and set ou t in Hamm’s lorry.Seven years later, boxes awaiting distribution are piled on the porch of the home. Anthony, 30, shares with Deborah and her husband, David, a lawyer. The company now has two-dozen delivery teams — each comprising a contractor with an intellectual disability and their support-worker contractor — in Edmonton and Calgary.Launching a company that employs 24 contractors with intellectual disabilities, and all thelogistics that come along with that, wasn’t the original plan, Deborah says. But the realities of delivery work — the peaks and valleys in demand, the long hours — meant that Anthony and Hamm couldn’t shoulder the load alone.And the feedback she received from Alberta’s autistic and intellectually disabled communities suggested they wanted to work for a company that understood them.Running Anthony at Your Service has become Deborah’s full-time, and she gave up her psychotherapy practice and the presidency of Autism Society Alberta a couple years ago. “What I’m doing for Anthony now has made more difference in his life than any of that other work,” she says. “We want to create jobs for people with all kinds of abilities and disabilities.”4．What’s the future of the persons with intellectual disabilities according to Deborah? A．They will lose their lives.B．They will get well-paid jobs.C．They will clean plates in restaurants.D．They will find it hard to find a decent job.5．What does the underlined word “courier” mean in the 3 rd paragraph? A．Accountant. B．Barber.C．Deliveryman. D．Engineer.6．What can be inferred from the passage?A．David launched the company for his son.B．Anthony’s contractors are mainly disabled.C．Deborah gave up her original job unwillingly.D．Mike Hamm is an intellectually disabled person.7．Which of the following words can best describe Deborah Barrett?A．Accessible. B．Caring.C．Humorous. D．Modest.Jellyfish are unusual creatures. They’re neither fish nor jelly. Some are among the most colourful creatures in the world, but it’s best to look but not touch these invertebrates（无脊椎动物）. Not only are they very fragile creatures, but many give a painful sting, and some are even deadly. Whether you admire them in an aquarium or try to avoid them in the wild, you won’t be able to get these fascinating jellyfish facts ou t of your head.Here’s a jellyfish fact that might come in handy: There are several names for a group of jellyfish. They include smack, bloom, and swarm. Choose the word you prefer depending on whether you think the jellyfish pack looks like a garden of blooming flowers or more like a frightening pack of stingers, and whether you’re admiring them at an aquarium or if you and your fellow snorkelers are surrounded.Jellyfish have two main forms in their life cycle that look quite different from each other. Scientific American explains that an adult jellyfish, called a medusa, has a bell-shaped body with tentacles（触须）flowing down below it. Young jellyfish, called polyps, look more like sea anemones, with shorter tentacles that flow up above the main body. Medusas reproduce by releasing eggs.Melanie Roberts, Senior Aquarist at SeaWorld Orlando, says that the largest jellyfish in the world is a lion’s mane jellyfish. The body of this beautiful orange jelly can grow up to three feet in diameter. With its 12,000 tentacles that can grow 120 feet long, adds that the lion’s mane jelly compares in size to the planet’s largest animal: the blue whale.Regardless of their size, jellyfish are mostly made of water. In fact, they’re about 95 per cent water.These c reatures don’t have brains, blood, or bones. And most jellyfish don’t have eyes. Jellyfish also use their mouths both for eating and for waste removal.8．Why can’t we touch jellyfish?A．Because they may be stung.B．Because they may die easily.C．Because they may feel painful.D．Because they may hurt people.9．What are jellyfish named after?A．Its size. B．Its color.C．Its appearance. D．Its lifestyle.10．What can we learn from the passage?A．Mouth is an important organ for jellyfish.B．Polyps can clone themselves by laying eggs.C．The largest jellyfish in the world is 120 feet long.D．Medusas have tentacles flowing up above the body.11．What can be the best title of the passage?A．Several facts about jellyfish.B．The two main forms of jellyfish.C．Jellyfish are neither fish nor jelly.D．Jellyfish have many different names.Any time we burn fossil fuels, we’re pumping fine particulate matter（细颗粒物）from oil, gas andother toxins（毒素）into the air. “Some of these carbon particles can persist in the lungs for d ecades,” says Dr. Don Sin, a respirologist and director of the Centre for Heart Lung Innovation in Vancouver.Over 7,000 Canadians died from complications due to poor air quality in 2015. A study in the European Heart Journal earlier this year found that air pollution now kills 8.8 million people worldwide per year —more than tobacco smoking.Sin adds that women’s lungs seem particularly easy to get cancer from pollution. Currently, 10,000Canadian women die of lung cancer every year, and 15 per cent of new cases are people who have never smoked. “In Canada, lung-cancer deaths in female non-smokers will very soon probably outnumber the deaths from breast cancer, because lung cancer is so deadly,” he says.Contributing to air pollution are the 8,000 wildfires we experience every year in Canada, like those that destroyed large areas of Alberta this past spring. These are increasing in frequency and intensity with our hotter, drier spells. A study in the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine found that prescriptions for an asthma and COPD drug rose by 22 per cent in the Yellowknife region in the summer of 2014, when it was surrounded by wildfire smoke. The number of ER visits for breathing problems was 42 per cent higher; for children, it more than doubled.Another threat to breathing is mould, which is a concern in areas with repeated flooding, such as around New Brunswick’s Saint John River, where floodwaters have been in homes for two years in a row and displaced more than 200 families. Moulds produce toxins and spores that can trigger allergic reactions or infections if taken in. Rising sea levels and increased urban development, combined with intense rainfalls, mean we will see a lot more of it.To avoid breathing polluted air, wear a mask rated N95 — not a surgical mask, which is useless, says Sin. “Those are too thin and easily torn. They won’t protect you at all from airparticles.” On bad-air days,get your exercise indoors, for instance by walking in anair-conditioned mall.12．Which of the following is True according to the passage?A．15 per cent of Canadian women have never smoked.B．1,000 Canadian women die of lung cancer every year.C．Air pollution has killed 8.8 million people in the world.D．Over 7,000 Canadians died as a result of air pollution in 2015.13．What may cause the wildfires in Canada according to the passage?A．Hot weather. B．Cigarette end.C．Dry plants. D．Poor management.14．What of the following is NOT a factor to produce moulds?A．Sea levels rising.B．Development of countryside.C．Lots of rainfalls.D．Growth of city.15．What should be suggested to prevent breathing polluted air?A．Wearing a surgical mask.B．Taking exercise.C．Walking indoors.D．Sleeping longer hours.二、七选五From time to time, even the most productive professionals procrastinate（拖延）. When your tendency to procrastinate is starting to make your overall quality of work and life suffer, 16．. Here’s what Forbes Coaches Council members recommend doing to stop racing the clock.Take the tiniest step possibleWhen you don’t feel motivated, take the smallest step possible toward your goal. After taking that step,you’re more likely to continue taking more steps toward that goal. 17．.Give yourself a hard deadline, and then schedule itThe best way to overcome a natural tendency to procrastinate is to create a hard deadline for yourself and then put it on the calendar. 18．. Then honor it the same way you would if yourboss were waiting for you to complete the task.19．Become a detective or a scientist about your pattern of procrastinating. Notice your thoughts, feelings,behaviors and the situation when you feel like procrastinating. Write these down. Often perfectionism, which we may experience as anxiety, underlies the tendency to postpone action. Once you understand your pattern, you can hold yourself accountable in a positive and self-compassionate way.Give yourself a reward for each task you complete20．. Then give yourself a little reward for doing it. (piece of candy, a few minutes on Social media, etc.). Then do something on your list that you want to do and continue alternating from there. This makes your tasks less daunting.A．Identify a positive outcome from your actionB．Treat the deadline the same as if your boss created itC．Understand the underlying reasons you’re p rocrastinatingD．find a way to make overcoming procrastination interestingE.it’s time to do a reality check and break yourself of the habitF.Make a list of things you need to do and do the one you don’t want to do firstG.Instead of telling yourself to work out for an hour, say you’ll go for 10 minutes三、完形填空In the fall of 1968, I returned home from teaching Grades 1 through 3 in Newfoundland to teach Grades 1 and 2 in southern Manitoba. I felt the best way for my Prairie students to improve their 21 of life and culture on Newfoundland’s northern island was to become pen pals with the students there. One way for the children to 22 different cultures at the time was through writing, where asking questions could satisfy their 23 . For students to have someone other than their teacher read their letters was a great 24to write. The whole class in my Prairie school classroom had the 25 to have a pen pal from northern Newfoundland.To set the stage, I introduced them to their pen pals using pictures and interesting26 , such as the boy who came to school 27 because their parents were in charge of the lighthouse, or the little girls playing a circle game chanting, “A Tisket, a Tasket, A Green and Yellow Basket.” Ther e were 28 of lobsters cooking on the wood stove for theevening meals and baby seals crying on the ice floes in spring. 29 most of my students were interested in the lives and 30 of these Newfoundland children,the writing lasted only a short while, 31 Eleanor, a Grade 2 student from the Prairies, and Lois, a Grade 3 student from northern Newfoundland. Eleanor and Loris wrote to each other from the ages of seven and eight 32 , and kept in touch for almost two 33 before losing contact for a time. In 2003, I received an email from Lois, telling me that she had found Eleanor on Facebook and that they had 34 . “Yes, it was 35 that I was to find Eleanor again,” wrote Lois.Eleanor remembered that it had been exciting to find a 36 in the mailbox with her name on ter on, in their communication, they both 37 what they had in common, including Christian faith,values and the love of writing. They 38 stories of family experiences, dreams, children and professions.They were determined to keep in touch 39 the 4,737 kilometers, different cuisine and traditions thatseparated them. Although they have not met 40 , Eleanor and Lois are still in touch via e-mail. Lois now lives in St. John’s, while Eleanor lives in rural Manitoba.21．A．admiration B．awareness C．desire D．influence 22．A．experience B．remember C．explain D．compare 23．A．demand B．needs C．curiosity D．expectation 24．A．encouragement B．qualification C．privilege D．reaction 25．A．honor B．record C．freedom D．opportunity 26．A．photos B．anecdotes C．movies D．conversations 27．A．by train B．by bike C．by plane D．by boat 28．A．tales B．blogs C．novels D．biographies 29．A．Although B．As C．When D．Since 30．A．districts B．habits C．surroundings D．hobbies 31．A．instead of B．except for C．in addition to D．as well as 32．A．rarely B．casually C．frequently D．temporarily 33．A．weeks B．months C．years D．decades 34．A．reconnected B．recovered C．retired D．resigned 35．A．amusing B．amazing C．awful D．abnormal 36．A．stamp B．gift C．newspaper D．letter 37．A．forgot B．missed C．tested D．recalled38．A．appreciated B．shared C．read D．heard 39．A．beyond B．within C．despite D．beneath 40．A．in person B．on purpose C．at random D．in time四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AFrom hawk hikes to private sleepovers at the zoo, there is a great selection of animal-related experiences available to groups. Here are some top options to get closer to various wonderful wildlife.Chester ZooThe newest attractions here are the Madagascar Lemur Walkthrough experience, which gives visitors the opportunity to walk alongside ring-tailed and red-ruffed lemurs, and the interactive American Wetland Aviary, which is home to birds like scarlet ibises and flamingos. Group rates are available for parties of 15or more and there are various catering options, including sit-down meals at the restaurant at the heart of the zoo.ZSL Whipsnade ZooUntil September 2022, it is offering groups of up to 60 the opportunity to experience a private Nature Night, on which they’ll get to explore the zoo privately after the public has left, take part in activities like quizzes, camp overnight, and get up early for a private tour along the green trail before it reopens to the public again.West Midland Safari ParkThe latest attraction at the park is the new African Walking Trail. Opened in May, the trail features three viewpoints that allow visitors to see the park's African animals on foot. There's also a four-mile drive-through safari area with red panda, penguin and lorikeet areas. Groups of ten plus, arriving in the same vehicle, can save more than 40%.Knowsley Safari ParkThe five-mile safari drive through the site takes you past free-roaming lions, rhinos and more than 100cheeky baboons. There's a foot safari area, where the highlight is the Amur Tiger Trail with transparent walled viewing areas where you can get nose-to-nose with 450-pound tigers. Groups of 15 people and more, arriving in one vehicle, qualify for special ticket rates.1. Who is the passage intended for?A. Animal-loving students.B. Forest hiking fans.C. Group tour organizers.D. Wildlife preservationists.2. Visitors can experience private tours in .A. Chester ZooB. ZSL Whipsnade ZooC. West Midland Safari ParkD. Knowsley Safari Park3. From the passage, we know that .A. delicious meals are offered to tourists in the four parksB. private tours are available in the four parksC. all the parks can provide driving-through servicesD. visitors can have access to walking trails in the four parksBScientists regularly make vital new discoveries, but few can claim to have invented an entirely new field of science. Chemist Carolyn Bertozzi is one of them. Her discovery of biorthogonal chemistry(生物正交化学) in 2003 created a brand-new discipline of scientific investigation, which has enabled countless advances in medical science and led to a far greater understanding of biology at a molecular(分子的) level. On October 5, Bertozzi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, jointly with two other professors. She is also the only woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize in science this year, after an all-male line-up in 2021.Bertozzi was the middle daughter of an MIT physics professor and a secretary. Few predicted that Bertozzi would be the most famous person in the family. While her academic performance was not bad in high school, she was fond of playing soccer. She end ed up being admitted to Harvard University. Despite her talent in soccer, she found it too time-consuming and quit the sport to devote herself to academics.But before becoming a rock star scientist, Bertozzi almost became an actual rock star. When she started at Harvard, she was tempted to major in music. That idea was “unpopular” with her parents, and she was timid about defying them. Instead, she chose the premed (医学预科的) track that included classes in math and sciences, and declared herself a biology major at the end of her first year of college.Her interest in music did not completely fall by the wayside, however. Bertozzi played keyboards and sang backup vocals for a hair metal band. Bertozzi, however, did not play with the band for long. Once the band's practices and performances conflicted with her labs and classes, there was only one outcome.Plus, she’d soon have organic chemistry to think about a course which is infamous for weeding out pre-meds. Without any clear career ambitions up to that point, Bertozzi had been thinking about possibly becoming a doctor when, in her sophomore year(大二学年), she suddenly fell so head over heels in love with her chemistry course that she couldn't tear herself away from her textbooks long enough to go out onSaturday nights. A torture to many was pure pleasure for her. Bertozzi changed her major from bi ology to chemistry a year later.Bertozzi has sometimes joked about her having missed out on her chance to follow Morello to LosAngeles. “I didn't get on that bus, and my playing is now limited to ‘The Wheel s on the Bus Go Round,’ I'm waiting for my sons to get old enough to appreciate 1980s heavy metal!”4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Bertozzi is one of those scientists who made significant new discoveries.B. Bertozzi was the only female to win a Nobel Prize in science in 2021.C. Bertozzi played keyboards and sang backup vocals throughout her college years.D. Bertozzi initially planned to become a doctor.5. The underlined word in Para 3 means .A. tellB. disobeyC. approachD. threaten6. The organic chemistry course Bertozzi took was known to be .A. easy and enjoyableB. difficult to pass for pre-med studentsC. popular among hair metal band playersD. a required course for all college students7. What kind of person do you think Carolyn Bertozzi is?A. Brave and sympathetic.B. Athletic and critical.C. Humble and passionate.D. Talented and creative.CWillie Sutton, a once celebrated American criminal, was partly famous for saying he robbed banks because “that’s where the money is.” Actually, museums are where the money is. In a single gallery there can be paintings worth more, taken together, than a whole fleet of jets. And while banks can hide their money in basements, museums have to put their valuables in plain sight.Nothing could be worse than the thought of a painting as important as The Scream, Edvard Munch's impressive image of a man screaming against the backdrop of a blood-red sky, disappearing into a criminal underworld that doesn't care much about careful treatment of art works. Art theft is a vast problem around the world. As many as 10,000 precious items of all kinds disappear each year. And for smaller museums in particular, it may not be a problem they can afford to solve. The money for insurance on very famous pictures would be budget destroyers even for the largest museums.Although large museums have had their share of embarrassing robberies, the greatest problem is small institutions. Neither can afford heavy security. Large museums attach alarms to their most valuable paintings, but a modest alarm system can cost $500,000 or more. Some museums are looking into tracking equipment that would allow them to follow stolen items once they leave the museums. But conservators are concerned that if they have to insert something, it might damage the object. Meanwhile, smaller museums can barely afford enough guards, relying instead on elderly staff.Thieves sometimes try using artworks as money for other underworld deals. The planners of the 2006robbery of Russborough House near Dublin, who stole 18 paintings, tried in vain to trade them for Irish Republican Army members held in British prison. Others demand a ransom(赎金) from the museum that owns the pictures. Once thieves in Frankfurt, Germany, made off with two major works by J. M. W. Turner from the Tate Gallery in London. The paintings, worth more than $80 million, were recovered in 2012 after the Tate paid more than $5 million to people having “information” about the paintings. Though ransom is illegal in Britain, money for looking into a case is not, provided that police agree the source of the information is unconnected to the crime. All the same, where information money end s and ransom begins is often a gray area.8. Why do smaller museums face a greater challenge in preventing art theft?A. They lack experienced staff.B. They cannot afford high-tech security systems.C. They do not have valuable artworks.D. They lack interest in art conservation.9. What is the concern of conservators regarding the use of tracking equipment to prevent art theft?A. It might damage the artwork.B. It is too expensive for smaller museums.C. It is difficult to insert into the paintings.D. It is ineffective for valuable paintings.10. From Paragraph 4, we can learn that .A. the thieves demanded a ransom from the Tate GalleryB. the Tate Gallery regained the lost paintings illegallyC. the money paid was considered an information fee, not a ransomD. the police requested the Tate Gallery to pay the money11. The purpose of this passage is .A. to remind criminals to protect and preserve the paintingB. to give suggestions on how to avoid the crimes of art theftC. to urge museums to set up more advanced security systemsD. to make people aware of art theft and the necessity of good security systemsDWho cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at thenational and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.12. What are the effects of people' misjudgments on the influences of new technology?A. It stimulates innovation.B. It affects their personal opinions.C. It influences their use of resources.D. It leads to improved technology.13. Why is the “digital divide” a concern related to the fascination with the Internet in rich countries?A. It leads to competition between rich and poor countries.B. It results in a lack of access to technology in developing countries.C. It increases the cost of computer equipment in rich countries.D. It promotes global digital cooperation.14. From Paragraph 4, we know that .A. donating for technology is always the better optionB. the author does not provide opinions on this matterC. donating for technology and basic needs should be balancedD. donating for basic needs should be prioritized over technology15. What is the passage mainly about?A. Significance of information and communication technology.B. Serious consequences of over-emphasizing high technology.C. Technological trends guiding economic policy making.D. How to use donation money in the new age.第二节(共5小题；每小题3 分，满分 15分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021高三1月THUSSAT中学生学术诊断性测试(全国卷)英语试题及参考答案
中学生标准学术能力诊断性测试2021年1月测试英语试卷本试卷共150分，考试时间100分钟。
第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）AWe’re all familiar with the “hop on hop off” buses that tour around big cities. It seems there’s now a new option coming that’s bigger and better than those that have gone before. Next year, expedition company Adventures Overland is set to launch a new “hop on hop off” bus service that will travel 20,000km from India to England. The vehicle, which will have space for 20 people, is set to cross 18 countries in 70 days and passengers will be able to stop off in cities along the way.People looking to book the trip will be able to choose if they want to take the entire journey, or one of the four legs (Southeast Asia, China, Central Asia, Europe). If you take the route that begins in Delhi, the bus will travel to Thailand, before going up to China, then onto Russia and European cities such as Warsaw, Prague and Brussels — before finishing in London.Adventure Overland’s bus route was partly inspired by the Hippie Trail buses that crossed the world in the 50s and 60s. Despite being the “longest bus journey in the world”, guests are bound to be comfortable with features such as business class seats, Wi-Fi, in-seat phone charging points, private lockers and individual entertainment systems with AUX and USB ports. Anyone looking to book the great voyage must be willing to part with a considerable amount of money. Tickets for the journey are priced at £15,300 and the first departure is currently set for May 2021. “The best time to do this journey is between April and June, because that’s when the weather is favorable to start the journey from India through to Myanmar, and to cross the high mountains of China and Kyrgyzstan,” Adventures Overland co-founder Tushar Agarwal told CNN. “There are a lot of people, travelers, who want to experience these overland journeys, but they don’t want to drive.”1．Where can be the destination of the bus service?A．China. B．Thailand. C．England. D．Russia. 2．Which of the following is Not the feature of the “hop on hop off” buses?A．Comfortable seats. B．Private lockers.C．Accessible Internet. D．Computer games. 3．When is the best time to take the journey?A．January. B．May. C．July. D．October.BWe never knew why my father took over storytelling for his three little girls, but we always suspected it was to save us from Sleeping Beauty. Walt Disney’s masterwork hit the big suburban screens in 1959 with a message for girls as vivid as its widescreen Technirama: If you’re pretty enough, a prince will rescue you.My father invented a series of bedtime stories featuring three princesses who happened to be just our ages and even looked like us. For some reason, the grownups were never around when danger struck. So, night after night, it was up to the three sisters to save the village, which they always managed to do just about the time that one of us fell asleep.It did occur to us that this village was either highly unfortunate or its adults incredibly clumsy that somuch fell to these little girls. We also saw that our parents wanted us to be strong. These girls didn’t need tobe rescued. They were alert, wise, and bold. That was enough.But how to carry this storyline into life was not obvious. In my early experience, women were justbeginning to be admitted to what had been men-only colleges, and teaching jobs followed. I loved to tell mynetwork about the welcome dinner for new graduate students in vast, candlelit Gothic hall. I sat next to thedean of the graduate school, whose first words to me were: “I don’t know why the graduate school is nowadmitting women. You’ll all just get married, have babies, and your education will be wasted.” After a fewdays to recover, I began telling friends this story and found their laughter and support encouraging. Soon, Ihad accumulated many such stories.Then, one of them hit hard. A colleague I trusted urged me, seriously, to quit teaching, because “If youdon’t leave political science, you will lose everything feminine about you.” I laughed. While losing someoneelse’s idea of femininity might have seemed a great loss, losing weakness surely was not! The power of thatpromise supported me. I taught political science for seven more years with a great sense of appreciation forthe opportunity, until taking up journalism, which I loved more.Still waiting for a prince? Be one.4．Why did father invent bedtime stories for his three little girls?A．To help them fall asleep. B．To make their life colorful.C．To encourage them to be strong. D．To make them interested in stories.5．What’s the dean’s attitude toward women?A．Positive. B．Objective. C．Prejudiced. D．Ambiguous.6．Which of the following might the author most agree with?第1页共8页第2页共8页A．Women can work better than men.B．At no time should women be labeled as weak.C．It is a waste of time for women to go to college.D．Women should give up everything to be feminine.7．Which saying can best describe this passage?A．Great minds think alike.B．Judge not a book by its cover.C．Failure is the mother of success.D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.CWith reports suggesting a second wave of coronavirus (新冠病毒) may be on its way (or here already), it makes sense to give yourselves a check if we’re still doing all the right things. Washing hands is one of those things that we were hopefully already doing, but realized in the wake of the pandemic that we could always be doing it more and for longer. But what about washing our food? Given the news that there have been outbreaks in food factories and processing plants—from Bernard Matthews to Mr. Kipling locations—it does make sense to think about it.Although the government have confirmed that the chance of catching coronavirus from food and food packa ging is “very unlikely”, washing food before eating is a part of good habit that can reduce that small risk. Sally Bloomfield, chair of the scientific advisory board of the International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene tells people, “Because the items you pick off the shelves in the supermarket will have been touched by other people, there is a chance that the packaging may have become harmful via their hands. Washing your shopping is not a question of whether it is necessary, it’s about minimizing risk—and if someone in the home is at increased risk of infection, this becomes more important.”Dr. Perpetua Emeagi, a lecturer in Human Biology and Biological Sciences at Liverpool Hope Universi ty, says, “If someone with COVID-19 asked you if you wanted a bite of their sandwich, you clearly wouldn’t go anywhere near it.” And the same caution has to be taken with everything you bring home from the supermarket, as you simply don’t know who’s been handling it before you. Imagine a scene where someone with COVID-19 has sneezed into their hands before entering the store and picking up a tin of beans. The same person changes his mind, puts the tin of beans back on the shelf, only for you to come and place it in your basket shortly afterwards. On the science side, she continues, “Officially, Public Health England tells us that the amount of infectious virus on any surface is likely to have decreased significantly by 24 hours, and even more so by 48 hours. But there’s also some evidence to suggest the virus could survive for up to seven days outside the human body. Surfaces like cardboard and plastic—common supermarket packaging products—are known to effectively harbor COVID-19. And my advice would be this: wash or wipe down everything you bring home thoroughly before either putting in your cupboards or consuming it.”8．Why did the author mention coronavirus in the first paragraph?A．To lead to the topic. B．To attract young readers.C．To give some evidence. D．To relate the latest event.9．Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 2?A．People can by no means catch a virus from food.B．Washing food before eating is a positive and necessary action.C．The items you pick from the supermarket can have a lot of viruses.D．The government has confirmed that there is no need to wash food before eating.10．What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 3?A．Cause. B．Destroy. C．Carry. D．Protect. 11．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．Is it necessary to wash food before eating?B．How can we stop the spread of coronavirus?C．What are the best ways to pick up groceries?D．What should we do if we were infected with coronavirus?DScientists believe that birds in North America are shrinking because of rising temperatures associated with climate change. A study published in the peer-reviewed Ecology Letters found not only that birds’ bodies are shrinking, but also that their legs are getting shorter and wings are getting longer.David Willard, study co-author, measured 70,716 North American migratory birds of 52 different species from 1978 to 2016. For nearly 40 years, scientists and researchers woke up at about 3: 30 a.m. to collect and measure birds that crashed into the museum’s windows during the spring or fall migration period, according to the Field Museum. “It started as a very casual study—someone mentioned that birds sometimes run into McCormick Place, and I was curious, so I went for a walk around the building one morning,” Willard said in the museum’s press release. “I found some dead birds and I brought them back to the museum.”Willard discovered that over time the birds’ mass decreased by about 2.6% and leg length decrease d by about 2.4%. He also found that their wing length increased by about 1.3%. Scientists also measured temperature, precipitation, vegetation and other factors. They found that warmer temperatures were associated with a smaller body size.Co-author Benjamin Winger, who also studies the evolution and ecology of birds at University of Michigan, told The Washington Post that warmer temperatures have had an “almost universal effect” on shrinking other animals. The findings were consistent with a 2017 study that researched the breeding of wild zebra finches across a range of temperatures. Scientists found that a hotter climate during breeding periods produced smaller birds.Authors of the most recent study, however, also noted that other complications of climate change, such as food limitation and environmental pollution, could have something to do with body size reduction. 12．What happened to the birds in North America?A．They lack food. B．They suffer from drought.C．Their body sizes decrease. D．They die of climate change.13．Why did Willard walk around McCormick Place?A．To see how the birds migrate. B．To find out the reason of the birds’ death.C．To make causal observations. D．To check if there are dead birds.14．What do we know about a zebra finch according to the passage?A．It’s a bird affected by warm temperature.B．It’s a kind of zebra that lives in the wild.C．It’s a bird whose wing length has increased by 1.3%.D．It’s a kind of zebra of a small size.15．Which of the following has no connection with birds’ shrinking?A．Food limitation. B．Temperature.C．Vegetation. D．Environmental pollution.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A项only太绝对；C项是要求与会的195国，不同于地球上全部国家；B项是3段2句错误拼接，意思不对了。
25.答案A。
综合全文可知A项正确。
C项是要求发达国家的；D项每五年聚集一次不一定每次都还在巴黎；B项明显是对末段末句的错误拼接。

31.答案B。
根据末段信息承上启下，接下来作者最有可能呼吁各国停止对西非疫情的忽视，行动起来帮助幸存者。
A项范围扩大了，种族歧视和偏见由来已久，且涉及方方面面，明显超出了本文西非伊波拉疫情这个主题范围；C项范围又缩小了，疫情的受害者不只是孩子；D项与末段信息不连贯，思维太跳跃了。

2021年高三第一次诊断性考试英语试题含解析第一部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分55分)第一节单项填空（共10小题，每小题1．5分，满分15分)【题文】1．He was unhappy when he sold his violin．After all，he ____________ it for a very long time．A．has had B．had had C．has D．had【答案】【知识点】A9A11动词的时态与语态【答案解析】B。
解析：题干中sold的动作发生在过去，had的动作发生在sold 之前，也就是“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。
【技巧点拨】熟记过去完成时的用法，别无他法。
【典型总结】过去完成时的基本用法归纳过去完成时表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成或结束，即“过去的过去”；也可以指过去的动作延续到过去的某个时刻。
这里的过去时间可以用某个时间状语表示，也可以通过上下文表示。
1）表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成或结束，也有可能早已结束或完成。
例如：When he was in Beijing, he visited places where he had played as a child. 他在北京的时候游览了他儿时曾玩过的地方。
2）表示一个过去的动作先于另一过去的动作的用法，这种情况多见于宾语从句。
例如：He remembered that he had left the key at home. 他记得他把钥匙落家了。
