2019-2020学年山西大学附属中学高三英语三模试卷及参考答案
2019-2020学年山西大学附属中学高三英语三模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BImust have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the wonderful way the words sounded.I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Sometimes, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading.I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.Now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is an important part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.4. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands？A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.B. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.C. She couldn’t help but stopmom from reading.D. She was eager to know what had happened.5. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs shows___________.A. her own way to find herselfB. her eagerness to develop her reading abilityC. her growing desire to know the world around herD. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules6. The author takes novel reading as a way to___________.A. explore a mysterious landB. develop an interest in learningC. get away from a confusing worldD. learn about the adult world7. What could be the best title for the passage？A The Pleasure of Reading B. Growing Up with ReadingC. The Magic of ReadingD. Reading Makes a Full ManCIn Copenhagen, an 8-year dream was realized when the first paid skiers took their runs down a one-third-mile course (路线)．They skied on what is possibly the greenestpower factory in the world．The factory is so clean and safe that designers were able to turn its buildings into a new center for social life．The waste-to-power factory itself opened in 2017 under the name Amager Bakke．Bjarke Ingels is the architect whosecompany came up with the idea eight years ago of designing a power plant building that would join mountain sports into its very nature．“It is the cleanest waste-to-energy power plant in the world．It is not only better for the environment, it is also moreenjoyable for the lives of its citizens.” Ingels says 97% of city people get their heating as a by-product of energy production．It comes from a system where the electricity, heating, and waste disposal (处理) are mixed into a single process．He dreams that it is also becoming an example that others can look to and say, “IfCopenhagencan do it why can' t we?"There are no hills in this island city, but now people can ski locally, while enjoying the best views ever seen of the harbor．Another thing missing hereis snow cover throughout the winter, so designers set up a kind of special "plastic grass" that provides the perfect friction (摩擦力) for downhill winter sports．In a country where 600, 000 skiers always had to travel to practice sking, to be able to finally ski in their backyard-and, all year round - is, as one skier said, “AMAZING．”The company hopes to see 300, 000 visitors enjoying the experience of Copen hill each year, with the ski slope costing $ 22 an hour or just $ 366 for a full season pass．Meanwhile, the city is one step closer to its final goal of becoming the world's first carbon-neutral city by 2025．We thinkit might be all “down hill” from here．8. How does the power factory produce electricity?A. By using oil．B. By using coal．C. By usingwind．D. By using waste．9. What' s Ingels' dream according to the passage?A. To make more tall buildings in different big cities．B. To help more skiers to ski in high mountains．C. There will be more green power factories in the world．D. More and more people will ski in the power factory．10. Where do the skiers ski in the power factory?A. On man-made snow．B. On man-made ice．C. On plastic grass．D. On real sand．11. The underlined part “it might be all 'downhill' from here" means that________.A. they will soon reach their final goalB. they will soon draw many visitorsC. they will produce more electricityD. they have difficulties reaching the goalDBritish anthropologists (人类学家) Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham, after studying the results of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games, conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win.Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other, colour has no effect on the result. However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enoughtipthe balance.The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males — the ones who are more successful with females — have a brighter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell, another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches, Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from theUniversityofGlasgowsay that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, andhis colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?12. According to their research. Hill and Barton conclude that ________.A. the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport eventsB. red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sportsC. red plays a role when competitors are equally capableD. athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red13. The underlined word “tip” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A. achieveB. advanceC. keepD. change14. The example of the blue footed booby proves that ________.A. male birds use different body parts to draw attentionB. red is not the only colour to attract female birdsC. blue gives female birds the same advantageD. blue can indicate how healthy a bird is15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The colour red gives male animals the most advantage.B. Male zebra finches prefer to have red plastic rings on their legs.C. Rules on sports clothing are going to be changed.D. Athletes wearing red may have an advantage over their opponents.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。

AAmsterdam’s Best Flea MarketsIjhallen Flea MarketFirst or second weekend of every monthPerhaps the most impressive of them all is Ijhallen, located in the north of Amsterdam. With more than 1,500 stands and 3,000 free parking spaces, the monthly market attracts visitors from not only the Netherlands, but Europe-wide.There is a five euro admission fee, but you can be pretty sure that you can browse second-hand treasures for most of the day. Anything and everything can be found here; old guitars and antique chairs, art prints and military gear.Noordermarkt Flea MarketSaturday, 9am-4pmMonday, 9am-2pmIn the centre of the Jordaan, the Noordermarkt Flea Market on Saturdays includes vintage(老式的) goods and organic food produce from local farmers.On Mondays, the market transforms into an antique-hunter’s goldmine. There are piles of vintage clothes, antique books, coins and furniture.Waterloopein MarketMonday-Saturday, 9am-6pmThe most centrally located of all flea markets in Amsterdam, Waterlooplein Market offers visitors a range of snacks, second-hand clothes and vintage treasures.There’s a maze of second-hand goods, from old globes and hanging lamps, to African drums, antique rugs and used bikes.Spui Book MarketFriday 10am-6pmIdeally situated among bookstores, you’ll find a coll ection of tents sheltering second-hand andantique books at the book market on Spui.You can find a variety of literature from biographies and poetry to fantasy-fiction, history, psychology and geography. While most books are from the Netherlands, some English and international titles are for sale. As well as antique maps, prints and record.1. Which flea market do you need to pay some extra money?A. Ijhallen Flea Market.B. Noordermarkt Flea Market.C. Waterlooplein Market.D. Spui Book Market.2. What can you pick up at Noordermarkt Flea Market?A. You can get enough parking space.B. You can choose a range of snacks.C. You can buy some fresh vegetables.D. You can dig some gold mines here.3. When is a good time to visit a favorite market for a crazy book fan?A. First weekend of every month.B. Friday, 10am-6pm.C. Monday, 9am-6pm.D.

It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amazed that Knolly’s Tunnel has stood up to the earth’s movement over so many years.Much research is being done on the tunnel. At the top of Knolly’s Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at the beginning of Knolly’s Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones. Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel, though not inside.On your way in, you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel. These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed. Knolly’s Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly’s Tunnel.On the drive to Knolly’s Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets. A gas station and a health centre are also close by.For those who admire architecture, Knolly’s Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad. For the nature lovers, there is no better place for them to be and for the historians, they can walk or drive through Knolly’s Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled (worked hard) on its structure. So when you visit Trinida d, don’t forget to take a look at Knolly’s Tunnel!4. Knolly’s Tunnel is special in __________.A. its environmentB. its functionC. its locationD. its architecture5. The underlined word “site” in the paragraph 4 refers to ________.A. TrinidadB. TabaquiteC. Mitchell GapD. Knolly’s Tunnel6. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To suggest a visit to Knolly’s Tunnel.B. To introduce the history of Knolly’s Tunnel.C. To evaluate the value of Knolly’s Tunnel.D. To witness the change of Knolly’s Tunnel7. The passage above is probably taken from ____________.A. a geography textbookB. a travel journalC. a sports reportD. a health and fitness magazineCBlue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumerplastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solut ion is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single----use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag----when taken collectively, these choices really do makea difference.8. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.9. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A. By statistics.B. By quotations from leading experts.C. By using examples from his own experience.D. By comparison and contrast.10. What can we infer about climate change?A. Climate change is caused by human activities.B. Some people hold some doubts about climate change.C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Ocean plastic is a global issue.B. The oceans become choked with plastic.C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the worldDMaths and MusicAn excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician. Tell others you are also a musician, however, and they will be hooked. Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity, there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in.I’m partly referring here to the “Mozart effect”, where children who have been play ing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent, including at maths, than other children. It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular: we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort. But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest. If you want your brain to work better, you clearly have to put in hard work. As for learning to play the piano, it also takes effort.Surely a connection is quite reasonable. Both maths and music deal with abstract structures, so if you become good at one, then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other. If this is correct, it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability. It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis. To become better at one, you need to improve your fitness and coordination (协调). That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other.Abstract structures don’t exist only in maths and music. If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar. Yet we don’t hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic (语言的) ability. Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical, so it wouldn’t be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar. Music, however, is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it. As such, it seems different from maths, so there wouldn’t be any c onnection between the two.Let’s see how we solve problems of the “A is to B as C is to D”kind. These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths. Consider the opening of Mozart’s EineKleine Nachtmusik (小夜曲).The second phrase (小节) is a clear answer to the first. The listener thinks: “The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord (和弦); what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7?” Music is full of puzzles li ke this. If you are good at them, expectations will constantly be set up in your mind. The best moments surprise you by being unexpected, but we need the expectations in the first place.12. What does the author say about “Mozart effect”？A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about.B. The findings from it gave people wrong information.C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected.D. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective.13. The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3 to show that ______.A. football and tennis are played in a similar way.B. certain skills may be developed through practice.C. music and maths have something in common.D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields.14. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ______.A. language seems more like maths than music does.B. language is less appealing to learners.C. mathematicians are good at music learning.D. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music.15. What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph?A. How music differs from maths.B. Why musicians possess mathematical abilities.C. Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians.D. How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths.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。

I’m glad I can help with it.It is generally believed that China is the largest mobile payment market. Nowhere else is the cashless trend more obvious than in China. Most of us are used to paying by scanning QR codes whatever we buy—books, clothes, and electronic devices, to name a few, which is a glimpse into the life of most Chinese like me and my family.With the widespread use of mobile payment, Wechat or Alipay is the most convenient and safest way to pay. We rarely need to carry a wallet or cash at all. Besides, never will we worry about getting fake notes or having to count change. In short, mobile payment has greatlychanged people's life in China.Personally, I think mobile payment should be encouraged. First, it has won over consumers with its convenience. Another advantage is that there are often discounts if you make mobile payment, as major online payment platforms are competing to have more consumers use their service.I hope my explanation can be of some help to you.

Which flea market do you need to pay some extra money ？ ______A. Ijhallen Flea Market ．B. Noordermarkt Flea Market ．C. Waterlooplein Market ．D. Spui Book Market ．2. What can you pick up at Noordermarkt Flea Market ？ ______A. You can get enough parking space ．B. You can choose a range of snacks ．C. You can buy some fresh vegetables ．D.

Saturday ， 9am-4pm ．BConstruction on Knolly's Tunnel began in 1896， and it was opened on August 13th ， 1898 by the man it was named after--Sir Clement C ． Knolly ， Acting Governor of Trinidad ． It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain ． Its architecture is still admired and studied today ， and many are amazed that Knolly's Tunnel has stood up to the earth's movement over so many years ． Much research is being done on the tunnel ． At the top of Knolly's Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves ， where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature ． Standing at the beginning of Knolly's Tunnel ， you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end ． The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones ． Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through ， but should do so in groups for safety ． In the old days ， there were no lights ， but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel ， though not inside ．On your way in ， you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel ． These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed ． Knolly's Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap ． The road was recently improved ， but is better when you enter from Tabaquite ， and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly's Tunnel ．On the drive to Knolly's Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature ． At the site itself ， there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink ， but in Tabaquite there are several bars ， a restaurant ， and food outlets ． A gas station and a health centre are also close by ．For those who admire architecture ， Knolly's Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad ． For the nature lovers ， there is no better place for them to be and for the historians ， they can walk or drive through Knolly's Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled （worked hard ） on its structure ． So when you visit Trinidad ， don't forget to take a look at Knolly's Tunnel! 4. Knolly's Tunnel is special in ______ ．A. its environmentB. its functionC. its locationD. its architecture5. The underlined word "site" in the paragraph 4 refers to ______ ．A. TrinidadB. TabaquiteC. Mitchell GapD. Knolly's Tunnel6. What is the purpose of the passage ？ ______A. To suggest a visit to Knolly's Tunnel ．B. To introduce the history of Knolly's Tunnel ．C. To evaluate the value of Knolly's Tunnel ．D. To witness the change of Knolly's Tunnel7. The passage above is probably taken from ______ ．A. a geography textbookB. a travel journalC. a sports reportD. a health and fitness magazineCBlue Planet II's latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures．Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth，the Mariana Trench，have plastic in their stomachs．Indeed，the oceans are drowning in plastic．Though it seems now that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics，consumerplastics are a remarkably recent invention．The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s；the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States．This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change．Plastics pollution research，for instance，is still a very early science．We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be．What we do know，though，is disturbing．Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year．Nearly 700species，including endangered ones，are known to have been affected by it．One in three leatherback turtles，which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish，have been found with plastic in their bellies．Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis．By 2050，that figure is expected to rise to 100percent．And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas．Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat．I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster，worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change．But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change．There are no ocean trash deniers （否认者），at least so far．To do something about it，we don't have to remake our planet energy system．This is not a problem where we don't know what the solution is．We know how to pick up garbage．Anyone can do it．We know how to dispose （处理）of it．We know how to recycle．We can all start by thinking twice before we use single----use plastic products．Things that may seem ordinary，like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag----when taken collectively，these choices really do make a difference．8.Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science？______A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult．B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal．C. The world couldn't possibly function without plastics．D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up．9.How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3？______A. By statistics．B. By quotations from leading experts．C. By using examples from his own experience．D. By comparison and contrast．10.What can we infer about climate change？______A. Climate change is caused by human activities．B. Some people hold some doubts about climate change．C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution．D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change．11.What is the main idea of this passage？______A. Ocean plastic is a global issue．B. The oceans become choked with plastic．C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken．D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the worldDMaths and Music An excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician．Tell others you are also a musician，however，and they will be hooked．Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity，there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in．I'm partly referring here to the "Mozart effect"，where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent，including at maths，than other children．It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular：we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort．But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest．If you want your brain to work better，you clearly have to put in hard work．As for learning to play the piano，it also takes effort．Surely a connection is quite reasonable．Both maths and music deal with abstract structures，so if you become good at one，then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other．If this is correct，it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability．It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis．To become better at one，you need to improve your fitness and coordination （协调）．That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other．Abstract structures don't exist only in maths and music．If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar．Yet we don't hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic （语言的）ability．Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical，so it wouldn't be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar．Music，however，is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it．As such，it seems different from maths，so there wouldn't be any connection between the two．Let's see how we solve problems of the "A is to B as C is to D"kind．These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths．Consider the opening of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik （小夜曲）．The second phrase （小节）is a clear answer to the first．The listener thinks："The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord （和弦）；what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7？" Music is full of puzzles like this．If you are good at them，expectations will constantly be set up in your mind．The best moments surprise you by being unexpected，but we need the expectations in the first place．12.What does the author say about "Mozart effect"？______A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about．B. The findings from it gave people wrong information．C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected．D. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective．13.The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3to show that ______ ．A. football and tennis are played in a similar way．B. certain skills may be developed through practice．C. music and maths have something in common．D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields．14.We can infer from Paragraph 4that ______ ．A. language seems more like maths than music does．B. language is less appealing to learners．C. mathematicians are good at music learning．D. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music．15.What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph？______A. How music differs from maths．B. Why musicians possess mathematical abilities．C. Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians．D. How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共15.0分）If you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night，you know it's difficult to stay awake in class today．Your teacher's voice might begin to sound like a lullaby（催眠曲）．(1) To keep yourself awake，some tips are worth trying in class．Sit in the front of the room．Why？(2) Besides，it'll be easier to pay attention and participate when you're in the front．You'll also be near the people who are more likely to participate，and the sound of their voices might keep you awake．(3) Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture．This will help if you're tired or discouraged by the content of the lecture，because you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the problems．Talking will also keep you engaged and alert．It might be helpful to make a goal for yourself to answer or ask at least 3questions per class．(4) For example，you might say "I didn't understand the last part of the proof．Could you explain it again in more detail？"Listen actively to the lesson．Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake because it requires engagement of your mind as well as your body．(5) To effectively listen to your teacher，you should try to maintain eye contact，face the speaker，pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a pause in the lecture．A．Participate in class activities．B．Develop interest in the subject．C．If so，classrooms can be boring because you're tired．D．Keep silent all the time and try to catch as much information as possible．E．To avoid annoying your teacher you should try to keep your questions on topic．F．You'll be more motivated to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you easily．G．Practicing active listening can help you keep your eyes open for the length of the lesson．16.

山西大学附中2018-2019学年高三第二学期3月模块诊断英语试题第I卷（选择题,共100分）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）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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AAmsterdam’s Best Flea MarketsIjhallen Flea MarketFirst or second weekend of every monthPerhaps the most impressive of them all is Ijhallen, located in the north of Amsterdam. With more than 1,500 stands and 3,000 free parking spaces, the monthly market attracts visitors from not only the Netherlands, but Europe-wide.There is a five euro admission fee, but you can be pretty sure that you can browse second-hand treasures for most of the day. Anything and everything can be found here; old guitars and antique chairs, art prints and military gear.Noordermarkt Flea MarketSaturday, 9am-4pmMonday, 9am-2pmIn the centre of the Jordaan, the Noordermarkt Flea Market on Saturdays includes vintage(老式的) goods and organic food produce from local farmers.On Mondays, the market transforms into an antique-hunter’s goldmine. There are piles of vintage clothes, antique books, coins and furniture.Waterloopein MarketMonday-Saturday, 9am-6pmThe most centrally located of all flea markets in Amsterdam, Waterlooplein Market offers visitors a range of snacks, second-hand clothes and vintage treasures.There’s a maze of second-hand goods, from old globes and hanging lamps, to African drums, antique rugs and used bikes.Spui Book MarketFriday 10am-6pmIdeally situated among bookstores, you’ll find a collection of tents sheltering second-hand and antique books at the book market on Spui.You can find a variety of literature from biographies and poetry to fantasy-fiction, history, psychology and geography. While most books are from theNetherlands, some English and international titles are for sale. As well as antique maps, prints and record.1. Which flea market do you need to pay some extra money?A. Ijhallen Flea Market.B. Noordermarkt Flea Market.C. Waterlooplein Market.D. Spui Book Market.2. What can you pick up at Noordermarkt Flea Market?A. You can get enough parking space.B. You can choose a range of snacks.C. You can buy some fresh vegetables.D. You can dig some gold mines here.3. When is a good time to visit a favorite market for a crazy book fan?A. First weekend of every month.B. Friday, 10am-6pm.C. Monday, 9am-6pm.D. Saturday, 9am-4pm.BConstruction on Knolly’s Tunnel began in 1896, and it was opened on August 13th, 1898 by the man it was named after--Sir Clement C. Knolly, Acting Governor of Trinidad. It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amazed that Knolly’s Tunnel has stood up to the earth’s movement over so many years.Much research is being done on the tunnel. At the top of Knolly’s Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at the beginning of Knolly’s Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones. Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel, though not inside.On your way in, you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel. These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed. Knolly’s Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly’s Tunnel.On the drive to Knolly’s Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets.A gas station and a health centre are also close by.For those who admire architecture, Knolly’s Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad. For the nature lovers, there is no better place for them to be and for the historians, they can walk or drive through Knolly’s Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled (worked hard) on its structure. So when you visit Trinidad, don’t forget to take a look at Knolly’s Tunnel!4. Knolly’s Tunnel is special in __________.A. its environmentB. its functionC. its locationD.its architecture5. The underlined word “site” in the paragraph 4 refers to ________.A. TrinidadB. TabaquiteC. Mitchell GapD. Knolly’s Tunnel6. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To suggest a visit to Knolly’s Tunnel.B. To introduce the history of Knolly’s Tunnel.C. To evaluate the value of Knolly’s Tunnel.D. To witness the change of Knolly’s Tunnel7. The passage above is probably taken from ____________.A. a geography textbookB. a travel journalC. a sports reportD. a health and fitness magazineCBlue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumerplastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know howto recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single----use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag----when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.8. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.9. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A. By statistics.B. By quotations from leading experts.C. By using examples from his own experience.D. By comparison and contrast.10. What can we infer about climate change?A. Climate change is caused by human activities.B. Some people hold some doubts about climate change.C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Ocean plastic is a global issue.B. The oceans become choked with plastic.C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the worldDMaths and MusicAn excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician. Tell others you are also a musician, however, and they will be hooked. Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity, there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in.I’m partly referring here to the “Mozart effect”, where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent, including at maths, than other children. It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular: we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort. But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest. If you want your brain to work better, you clearly have to put in hard work. As for learning to play the piano, it also takes effort.Surely a connection is quite reasonable. Both maths and music deal with abstract structures, so if you become good at one, then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other. If this is correct, it wouldshow a connection between mathematical and musical ability. It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis. To become better at one, you need to improve your fitness and coordination (协调). That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other.Abstract structures don’t exist only in maths and music. If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like gramm ar. Yet we don’t hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic (语言的) ability. Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical, so it wouldn’t be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar. Music, however, is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it. As such, it seems different from maths, so there wouldn’t be any connection between the two.Let’s see how we solve problems of the “A is to B as C is to D”kind. These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths. Consider the opening of Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (小夜曲).The second phrase (小节) is a clear answer to the first. The listener thinks: “The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord (和弦); what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7?” Music is full of puzzles like this. If you are good at them, expectations will constantly be set up in your mind. The best moments surprise you by being unexpected, but we need the expectations in the first place.12. What does the author say about “Mozart effect”？A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about.B. The findings from it gave people wrong information.C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected.D. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective.13. The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3 to show that ______.A. football and tennis are played in a similar way.B. certain skills may be developed through practice.C. music and maths have something in common.D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields.14. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ______.A. language seems more like maths than music does.B. language is less appealing to learners.C. mathematicians are good at music learning.D. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music.15. What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph?A. How music differs from maths.B. Why musicians possess mathematical abilities.C. Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians.D. How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths.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。
