广东省惠州市第一中学高三英语周测试题1第一局部〔共两节，总分值40分〕第一节阅读了解阅读以下短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、和D项中选出最正确选项。
ANot long ago the movie 2021 came into screen. The people were threatened by those scenes of destroying flood, severe earthquake, terrifying hurricane and constructions representing human civilization being destroyed and even swallowed by disaster．Luckily, they are just the director' s imagination, but the present situation is not heading a positive direction, either．Take my own experience in Alaska as an example. Once I took a trip to the glacier. Along the way there stood signposts marking the snow lines of different years. They started from the foot of the mountain, but it was at the top when I finally saw melting glaciers. My heart ached seeing the beautiful blue ice melting at every second．Sad but true, they are the effects of global warming and the result of our human impact. Furthermore, each year the rising sea level will kill 56 million people, and that' s about the population of the entire Italy. According to studies, if the temperature keeps on rising like this, by the year 2050, some islands and coastal cities including New York, Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney will be drowned in water．Our fortune is in our own hands. It depends on us to shape our future, to reduce future human impact and find ways to form a peaceful relationship with our environment. Therefore, it's time for actions to be taken right now. Contribute a little to energy saving by using more efficient light bulbs and less hot water. Let recycle become our habit by thinking twice before throwing something away. Let us take public transportation as our first choice when going to a certain place. It might cost more time for now, but it' s to the benefit of a permanent future. Take care of every tree and grass around us by watering them or simply just avoid destroying them．In a word, small drops of water make a big ocean. The earth does not belong to us. On the contrary, we belong to the earth. Please bear in mind that the earth is our home. It is our responsibility to build a brighter and better future of our planet and prevent what happened in the movie 2021 from becoming reality．1．Why does the author talk about the movie 2021 in the passage ?A．To give example B．To lead into the topicC．To make prediction D．To provide the evidence2．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A．56 million people in Italy have been killed owing to the rising sea levelB．Some islands and coastal cities will be drowned in water by the year of 2050C．Human being will be in danger if we don't take actions to prevent the global warming D．It is certain that what happened in the movie 2021 will come into reality 3．According to the passage, you are advised to .A．drive our own private cars instead of taking buses to some placeB．recycle everything that is usedC．go to see the movie 2021 at onceD．work together to take good care of our planet4．What does the author mean by saying "small drops of water make a big ocean"?A．Think twice before taking action,B．It's our duty to protect the ocean．C．Everyone together can make a difference．D．It's important to save every drop of water．BIt was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step.〝Any old papers, lady?〞asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say 〝no〞until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.〝Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.〞They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, 〝Lady, are you rich?〞I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, 〝Your cups match your saucers.〞Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, ho lding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said 〝Thank you.〞They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job—these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.5. Two children came to the writer’s front door because _________________.A. it was Thanksgiving DayB. they were beggarsC. they wanted old papersD. they wanted a cup of cocoa6. The girl thought the writer was rich perhaps because ________________.A. she saw that the lady’s room was comfortableB. she saw the cups matched the saucersC. the writer’s slipcovers were very newD. the writer was preparing a big meal while she was too hungry.7. From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on ____________.A. how much money you have hadB. how you feel about your lifeC. how you have helped othersD. what job your husband is doing8. The writer left the muddy prints of small sandals on the floor for a while to ___________.A. show her husband that someone had comeB. remind her that she had helped two childrenC. remind her that she was very rich in the neighborhoodD. remind her how life should beCAs prices and building costs keep rising, the ‘do-it-yourself’ (DIY) trend in the U. S. continues to grow.〝We needed furniture for our living room,〞says John Ross, 〝and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.〞John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at the time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house. Jim Hatfield has 3 boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. 〝I was deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.〞John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a 〝do-it-yourselfer〞, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a class there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.9. We can learn from the text that many newly married people_________.A. find it hard to pay for what they needB. have to learn to make their own furnitureC. take DIY courses run by the governmentD. seldom go to a department store to buy things10. When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at home, he means Jim_________.A. makes shoes in his homeB. does extra work at nightC. does his own car and home repairsD. keeps house and looks after his children11. Jim Hatfield decided to become a do-it-yourselfer when_________.A. his car repairs cost too muchB. the car repair class was not helpfulC. he could not possibly do two jobsD. he had to raise the children all by himselfDWhen next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2020, they’ll be joined by a new face; Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost (教务长) of Yale, who’ll become Oxford’s vice-chancellor—a position equivalent to university president in America.Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc, have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many businesses, it’s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward from America.The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a maj or source of the university’s budget. 〝We didn’t do any global consideration,〞says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist (活动家) who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a distinctively American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student number. The decline in government support has made funding-raising an increasing necessary ability among administrators and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2021, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen 〝a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.〞Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind of promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.12. What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage?A. Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.B.A lot of political activists are being recruited as administrators.C .American universities are enrolling more international students.D. University presidents are paying more attention to funding-raising.13. What is the chief consideration of American universities when hiring top-level administrators?A. The political correctness.B. Their ability to raise funds.C .Their fame in academic circles. D. Their administrative experience.14. Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard as its vice-chancellor chiefly because _____.A. she was known to be good at raising moneyB. she could help strengthen its ties with YaleC. she knew how to attract students overseasD. sh e had boosted Yale’s academic status15. In what way do top-level administrators from abroad contribute to university development?A. They can enhance the university’s image.B. They will bring with them more international faculty.C. They will view a lot of things from a new perspective.D. They can set up new academic disciplines.第二节 (共5小题，每题2分，总分值10分)依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。
2020届广东省惠州市第一中学高三英语期中考试试卷及参考答案
2020届广东省惠州市第一中学高三英语期中考试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AI started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.1. How can we describe the young author?A. He opened a small grocery store.B. He did a lot of research in the lab.C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities.D. He learnt about maintenance from his father.2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Getting some financial support.B. Selling a tiny house on wheels.C. Reaching out to many local businesses.D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills.3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph?A. Its size needs increasing.B. Itis popular with the students.C. It has caused some safety concerns.D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage.BIn order to develop the pandemic-stricken economy, China recovered the street vendors（商贩）in a new nation-wide method known as “street stall economy'', allowing residents to set up open-air shops on the sidewalks or other available public spaces.Street vendors were once an important part ofChina's economy and urban landscape. However, sinceChina's economy took off in the last decade, street vendors have gradually disappeared from the streets and many of them opened shops of their own.Fast forward to today, street vendors have come into our sight again after cities such asChengduand Yantai succeeded in creating hundreds of thousands of jobs by giving street stalls permission to operate.China's tech industry was quick to jump on the street vendor trend, with tech giants including Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan and flocking todish outcheap loans, offer support and payment solutions to millions of owners of newly established small businesses.Ant Financial, Alibaba's fintech arm, promised its mobile wallet app Alipay will give interest-free loans to 30 million vendors, and 70 billion RMB of interest-free credit line to consumers to make purchases everywhere, including street vendors. provided 50 billion RMB worth of quality goods for street vendors, and provided each one of them with a maximum 100,000 RMB interest-free loan to stock up.Tencent's WeChat announced to offer payment solutions, marketing supports and even training for up to 50 million street vendors, with the end goal of digitally transforming them to increase their income.Guangzhoucity partnered with WeChat this month to hold a live streaming shopping festival to improve sales of local produce.

"Street Vendor Economy” Greatly Increases People's IncomeC. The Whole Nation Are Involved in a New Economy ModelD.China's Major Tech Companies Are Helping With "Street Vendor Economy”CMy entire life has been influenced by the fact that I stand way above the average height for both men and women. I was born two weeks late. When I finally entered the world I weighed 11 pounds 10 ounces and was 24 inches long. When my mom told my grandmother my measurements, she asked in amazement, "Are you okay?!"I was healthy, but very shy as a child and into my teens. I'm from a small town, and I grew up and graduated with the same 50 people. I started playing basketball in third grade every Saturday, but I didn't have any control over my awkward body. (I didn't even score a point in a game until many years later.) I was 5-foot-10 in fourth grade. I had a small group of friends in elementary school, but sometimes the boys picked on me, calling me a bean pole or the Jolly Green Giant. I still remember my embarrassment when they laughed at me, and how badly I wanted to be invisible.In high school I got more involved in sports, but I spent most days in the art room. By this time everyone at my school was used to my height (by ninth grade I was 6-foot-3), but if I went out of town people would stare at me and comment about my appearance.I was forced into the spotlight wherever I went.With high school came more confidence. I had success in school, the arts and sports. I played basketball, but my true passion was track and field. During my senior year I was the conference champion in high jump and the 400-meter run. The friendships I gained through my involvement in high school boosted my confidence and helped me develop a sense of humor. Now when a stranger told me I was tall I would smile and nod or, if I was feeling determined, I would pretend to feel shocked and thank them for telling me. I had no idea!Still, society keeps me aware of my status as something rare. And even though people tell me I'm beautiful and I should be a model, there are times when I would trade in my long legs for a small frame and tiny feet. I often wish people weren't so rude. I'm a minority only in the sense of height. I like to think that those who have insulted me didn't intend to. I do believe that most people are basically good, but they can be insensitive.8. What can be inferred from Para.1?A. The writer's height has something to do with her late birth.B. Grandmother was unwilling to have the writer as her grandchild.C. The writer failed to have a successful life because of her unusual height.D. The writer was heavier and bigger compared with other babies when she was born.9. By saying 'I was forced into the spotlight', the author probably means that she ________.A.was criticized by othersB. caught public attentionC. was threatenedD. felt inferior10. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned as the writer's experiences in high school?A. She quit playing basketball and joined the track and field team.B. She no longer felt upset when facing her height problem.C. She had a passion for some sports events.D. She built up more confidence.11. What does the last sentence imply?A. People enjoy making fun of others.B. People are bad andcannot be trusted.C. People tend to bully those who are weaker.D. People sometimes care little about how others feel.DGray wolves have lived inNorth Americafor at least half a million years. Their living areas once included most of the continentalUnited States. But during the 1800s and early 1900s, wolves were hunted to near extinction(灭绝).By the 1960s, theU. S.wolf population was limited to a handful of creatures in small comers of the northernMidwest.Then, in 1973, a law, the ESA, was passed to protect animals from becoming extinct. Gray wolves were one of the first animals placed on the endangered-species(濒危物种)list. Killing them wasillicit. And theU. ernment worked to promote their protection. In a famous example of this effort, starting in 1995, 31 wolves were moved fromCanadatoYellowstoneNational Park. By 2015, more than 500 gray wolves were living in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem(生态系统).Today, the continentalU. S.is home to more than 6,000 gray wolves. On January 4, 2021, theU. ernment removed gray wolves from the endangered-species list.Usually, an animal's removal would be cause for celebration. But some environmental protectors say the wolves still need protection. In some parts of the country, wolves are increasing in numbers. More than a thousand of them can be found just inMichiganandWisconsin. But overall, their range is still a small part of what it was. Wolves used to live across most of the U. S. Now they , are found in fewer than a dozen states. Others argue that as long as a species is not in danger of extinction, it doesn't belong on the endangered-species list. And farmers with land near wolf living areas say that if the wolf's population continues to grow, more of their farm animals will be killed by wolves.But some protection groups worry that without protection, the wolf population will crash again. They hope that no matter what, people and wolves can get along peacefully with each other. They are promoting ways to make that happen.12. What caused gray wolves to be almost extinct?A. Losing their living areas.B. Too many natural enemies.C. The extreme climate changes.D. Being hunted in great numbers.13. What does the underlined word "illicit" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Rather difficult.B. Against the law.C. Totally normal.D. Conditionally allowable.14. Why was the gray wolf removed from the endangered-species list?A. They have a much larger population already.B. They have all been put into the safe natural parks.C. They have been feeding on farmers, farm animals.D. They have grown too strong to be protected by humans.15. What do farmers living near gray wolves' living areas think of the animals?A. The wolves are trouble for them.B. The wolves must be better protected.C. The wolves get along peacefully with them.D. The wolves should live where they belong.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。

AI have many new teachers in high school, but Lori Runkle, my Engli sh Language and Composition teacher, is my favorite teacher.Ms. Runkle enjoys getting to know more about students, so I have many chances to talk with her after class. I have always wanted to beco me a journalist. Since Ms. Runkle used to be a journalist back in the Un ited States, she has introduced many helpful journalistic writing skills to me.Although she is my teacher, Ms. Runkle and I are more like friends. She often invites my classmates and me to take part in different activitie s outside of school. For example, I went to listen to a journalist's speech, which helped me better understand current events (时事).Not only does Ms. Runkle talk with me outside of school, she is als o a great teacher in the classroom. English Language and Composition isa really hard subject for a second language learner. We felt worried in t he beginning, but Ms. Runkle really makes an effort to help us out. In cl ass, Ms. Runkle always encourages students to question everything to kee p us active. One part of class I love the most is when groups of student s are required to give speeches on events that are happening in the worl d. It requires a lot of deep thinking and I really learn quite a lot from i t.I love Ms. Runkle very much. She not only helps me to get good s cores, but also acts as a good friend and always gives me advice on life.1. After class, the author _____.A. seldom sees Ms. RunkleB. talks with Ms. Runkle quite a lotC. enjoys introducing Ms. Runkle to her friendsD. often invites Ms. Runkle to different activities2. We can infer from the text that Ms. Runkle is _____.A. friendly and helpfulB. kind and humorousC. clever and activeD. strict and boring3.

Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather s marter.A lot of our time management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistake s we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency: Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will ha ve worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time manag ement is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us now here faster. Time management is doing the right things.Work with a messy desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That’s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easil y find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment.Don’t take a lunch break. Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them m ore time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will beco me boring. A lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.5. With a plan of action, you can ______.A. work harderB. do the wrong things more rapidlyC. avoid doing wrong thingsD. get nowhere faster6. Working with a messy desk or work area, you will ______.A. waste a lot of timeB. find the things you need easilyC. become a top managerD. save seven and a half hours per week7. The text mainly tells us ______.A. how to avoid wasting timeB. we should get our batteries charged upC. how important time management isD. some time manage ment mistakesCOnce, two phoenix birds flew over a small village in Hunan provinc e. The village was so beautiful that the birds never wanted to leave. This story was recited to me during my visit to Fenghuang, adding a mystery to this ancient town.Fenghuang is a snapshot (快照) of idyllic (田园诗般的) village life i n rural China. Set alongside the banks of the Tuojiang River, Fenghuang is full of small, winding alleys and surrounded by green hills. Having tra velled directly from the bustling city of Changsha, Fenghuang was a breat h of fresh air.When I visited Fenghuang, it was July. My friend and I excitedly ex plored, walking along the ancient city wall and crossing the beautiful, old bridges. Despite the crowds of tourists, it seemed as if life in this corne r of China had not changed for centuries. People were very relaxed. They were never bothered by the hot weather nor by the tourists, walking, eat ing and playing outdoors. On our first evening we bought spicy, cold noo dles from a street vendor and ate on the riverbank as we watched the su n set.We stayed in a small hotel similar to many of the traditional bu ildings in the village. Our room was built on high stilts (桩子) over the banks of the river. From our window we could hear the rush of the wate r and the sounds of excited tourists travelling in small boats downstream. Even in modern times, the river continues to be the life of the village. We saw people busy at work catching fish, or ferrying tourists for sightse eing. Young children played in shallow waters and families washed their clothes and dishes.Although there were many visitors to Fenghuang, we did not see any other foreign people during our stay. It felt like we’d found a treasure to know that we had visited somewhere off the beaten track!After two days’exploring the village, I could fully understand the l egend of the phoenix. I was unwilling to leave.8. The author mentions the story of the phoenix birds in the first pa ragraph mainly to ______.A. show her deep interest in Chinese cultureB. introduce the topic of her trip to the town of FenghuangC. explain how the town of Fenghuang got its nameD. describe the beautiful scenery of the town of Fenghuang9. Which of the following is mentioned in the article about the town of Fenghuang?A. food cultureB. geographyC. living habitsD. weather and climate10. We can infer from the article that the author found her trip to the town of Fenghuang ______.A. boringB. relaxingC. quite an adventureD. a waste of time and money11. The underlined expression “off the beaten track”in the fifth pa ragraph is closest to “______”in meaning.A. far away from other people and placesB. not on a small pat hC. next to a broken railwayD. easy to reach by carDYears ago, the American writer Kurt V onnegut often said there was o ne story that would always make a million dollars: “Cinderella”(《灰小姐》).“Cinderella”made more like $70 million in ticket sales when it op ened last weekend. But the movie got a mixed reaction. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter praised the movie and said, “Anyone will find something to enjoy in it.”Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer called the movie “a winning re-do.”Richard Corliss of Time magazine wrote that “Disney finally got Cinderella right.”Other people were not as hap py with the movie. Sara Stewart of the New York Post wrote, “This Cin derella is all dressed up with nowhere very interesting to go.”Although different people think differently towards the movie, what is clear, however, is the movie's business success. It is not only popular in the theaters but also in sales. And Disney has widened its usual market for “Cinderella”products.There are products connected to the Disney movie targeted (面向) no t only at little girls, but women, too. For example, the famous shoe desig ner Jimmy Choo worked with Disney to create “Cinderella's shoes.”Yo u can buy them for about $5,000. At that price, you would not want to l ose one at the party, even if that is the way you get your prince .The makeup (化妆品) company MAC quickly sold all its products co nnected to “Cinderella.”HSN is a popular website selling clothing and objects for the home. The marketer is now also selling “Cinderella”pro ducts.So, is there anything left for the children, those people we think of as the traditional audience for the age-old tale? Yes, you can find toys an d other children's products at the American store JCPenney. Of course, yo u can also visit a Disney store.12. What is the best title for the text?A. Sellers of “Cinderella”productsB. “Cinderella”is more than a movieC. What makes “Cinderella”so popularD. Unknown stories behind “Cinderella”13. The underlined part “a mixed reaction”in Paragraph 2 probabl y means _____.A. many changesB. different storiesC. advantages and disadvantagesD. agreements and disagreements14. Products connected to “Cinderella”_____.A. do not sell very wellB. are not yet on the marketC. are mainly targeted at little girlsD. are designed for a wide group of buyers15.

2021届惠州市第一中学高三英语模拟试卷及答案
2021届惠州市第一中学高三英语模拟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AWhat to See InHarbinParks inHarbin: Snow Sculpture Expo on theSunIslandPark: massive and beautifully carved sculptures of snow. Ice Lantern Festival: where large ice buildings and statues constructed with lights inside that make them glow.SiberianTigerPark: The park has several large caged areas where the tigers roam freely and live as they-would in their natural environment. We enter these caged areas in a specially designed van with large windows to get a look at these beautiful beasts. Live pheasants (雉) are let loose (if you pay) in order to show you the tigers' natural hunting skills.Russian Architecture: Blessed with grace and character, the city is famous for its unique, Russian-influenced architecture. Remnants (残存) from the days when Harbin wasan important stop on the Russian Manchurian Railroad, the dome-shaped structures remind people of pre-revolutionary Russia. The strong Russian flavor continues to impact the city today due to new trade and tourism betweenHarbinandRussia.TheCentral Avenue: Passers-by only street, a perfect remaining part of the busy international business activities at the turn of the 20th century. The 1.4-km long street is a worthy museum of European architectural styles, including Baroque and Byzantine facades, Jewish architectural wonders, little Russian bakeries, French fashion houses, American snack food outlets, and Japanese restaurants.Guogeli Avenue:Harbin's second biggest shopping district dotted with Russian buildings. A tram track is still preserved in the centre of the road. The street is named after Nikolay (Vasilyevich) Gogol (1809-1852); great Russian novelist, dramatist, satirist, founder of the so-called critical realism in Russian literature, best-known for his novel MERTVYE DUSHI I-II (1842, Dead Souls).Saint Sophia Church (built in 1903): The Orthodox church is a wonderful example of Russian Architecture. We only tour the outside of the church. The inside has been turned into some painters' market and is a big disappointment to all who visit it. You are welcome to venture into the church. Entrance fees are RMB20 per person.1. From where does the author look at the tigers?A. Through the windows of his house.B. In the closed areas of tigers.C. In the areas for walking.D. In their natural environment.2. Where can visitors see the most diverse styles of architecture?A. At Ice Lantern Festival.B. On the Russian Manchurian Railroad.C. On TheCentral Avenue.D. OnGuogeli Avenue.3. When walking in the city ofHarbin, what can visitors still strongly feel?A. The Russian flavor.B. The influence of Guogeli's realism.C. The damage to Saint Sophia Church.D. The mixture of American and Japanese cultures.BWhile the arts can' t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy（欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposingforces.The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.4. What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses?A. It brings people inner peace.B. It contributes to problem-solving.C. It reduces the possibility of crises.D. It deepens understanding of music.5. What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9?A. It celebrates freedom and unity.B. It aims to show crises and chaos.C. It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.D. It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.6. What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?A. Leaving things as they are.B. Making a choice between them.C. Separating them from each other.D. Engaging them in a conversation.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How COVID-19 changes artB. Essentials of Symphony No. 9C. Moving artfully through crisesD. Joy in the eyes of BeethovenCI was at my parent’s dinner table. Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolor1 ed pages. It was my grandfather’s journal and now belonged to my father. My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life’s journey.I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I wascaptivatedby the power of the written words. In the magical script (笔迹) before me, I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others, and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace (拥抱) each other’s struggles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer’s mind and understand the world they lived in.That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment, and hungry for information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to ourcollective wisdom, most of these writings reflectthe superficiality (肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important. Writing humbles (使谦卑) us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life. Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflect deep thought on issues of human importance.8. The underlined word “captivated” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “________”.A. puzzledB. frightenedC. attractedD. defeated9. In the author’s grandfather’s age, people ________.A. lived a hard lifeB. cared about each otherC. were fond of writingD. treated food as an art10. The author begins the text with her grandfather’s journal in order to ________.A. show her respect to her grandfatherB. present the importance of good writingC. express her interest in reading as well as writingD. raise the problems with today’s writing11. In the last paragraph, the author is trying to _________.A. discuss what good writing is likeB. express her strong desire to learn writing skillsC. stress the effects of her grandfather’s journal on herD. show her admiration for her grandfather’s writingDSome years ago a young man applied to a large United States optical firm for a job as a lens designer. He apologized for lack of training, but on announcing that he owned two copies of the classic Conrady's Applied Optics and Optical Design, one for his office and a second for his bedside table, he was hired on the spot. Perhaps the story will be repeated some day with Buchdahl's Introduction to Hamiltonian Optics as a similar certificate of qualification.Hamiltonian theory describes with powerful generality the overall properties of optical systems considered as‘black boxes’, although it does not describe the detailed structure needed to construct the systems and achieve these properties. Buchdahl's book is therefore on the subject of geometrical optics, but it is not about how to design lenses. It is, however a compact comprehensive account of the fundamentals of the theory written with the lens designer's needs very much in mind. Every lens designer worth his salt has at some time in his career attempted to apply the broad concepts of Hamiltonian optics to the solutions of practical problems. Success has been sufficiently rare that the theory, as such, has made little direct contribution to techniques for optical instrument design. The failures have been frustrating because of the obvious fundamental power of the theory and because of its conceptual elegance. The indirect effects have been large, however, both in contributing to an understanding of fundamental principles that govern the overall behavior of optical systems and in pointing the way to other, more practical, theoretical approaches.Buchdahl approaches the subject not only as a capable mathematical physicist, but as one who with a knowledge of practical optics has made a significant contribution to geometrical optical theory. Buchdahl's approach has, over the last decade, had a major impact on modern lens design with computers. Thus, he brings to this exposition of Hamiltonian optics a familiarity with practical optics not usually found in authors on this subject.The author claims his book to be non-mathematical, and indeed it might be so viewed by a professional mathematician. From the point of view of many physicists and engineers, it will appear to be quite mathematical. Moreover, this is a tightly written book. The subject matter is developed with precision, and the author expects the reader, at very point, to be master of the preceding exposition.12. Hamiltonian theory met with failures as a result of ______.A. newer finding related to the wave particle nature of lightB. very complicated concepts too difficult to understand by most lens designersC. too much mathematical detail in the theoryD. not enough practical information offered by the theory to allow for use by lens crafters13. The author of this passage implies that Introduction to Hamiltonian Optics is necessary to ______.A. the students who are major in mathematical geometryB. those who want to grasp the basic principles of optical systemsC. the lens designers who look for instructions on practical designsD. those who are interested in physics14. The article points out that the great benefits of Hamiltonian optics have been found is ______.A. indirect ways of learning mathematicsB. a fundamental power within the theoryC. the conceptual elegance of the theoryD. the practical applications of the theory in finding new approaches to old problems15. This passage is probably excerpted from ______.A. a review of a bookB. a chemistry textbookC. an optician's essayD. a general science text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。

other teen environmentalists in Chattanooga,TN.Together,they have collected more than1ton of aluminum cans,nearly1,000cans a week for a year.In January,he co-founded a club called the Cleanup Kids with his best friend.The project’s mission:to encourage kids to pick up1million pounds of trash across the globe before the end of the year.Daniels says he first developed a passion for wildlife when he was3.“As far back as I can remember,I’ve always loved animals,”Daniels says.Marine life especially interests him.When he began discovering trash on walks along the river with his family,he immediately thought of his favorite sea creatures.His mission now is saving the earth’s rivers,which he points out are even more polluted than the world’s oceans.“Eighty percent of the ocean’s trash comes from rivers,”he says.In 2019,he adopted the name Conservation Kid on Instagram,and started posting about things like how something as simple as a deserted face mask can entangle(缠住),choke,and kill turtles, birds,and fish.Mask waste has increased an estimated9,000%since the pandemic(疫情)began.Although he mostly speaks to other teens,Daniels has found that adults are often persuaded by his argument that cleaning up,recycling,and ridding plastic ought to be a selfish act for humanity:when plastics break down,they can wind up in our drinking water.He has met with the mayor of his city,and his experiences speaking with influential grownups has convinced him that adults can change their habits.But,in truth,the burden to save the planet has landed on children like him.“Kids may be a small percent of the population,but we’re100%of the future,”he says.“And we can save the world.”24.What led to the birth of Daniel’s project?A.The inspiration from his best friend.B.The goal to make a role model for kids.C.The concern for the ocean life.D.The idea of other teen environmentalists.25.Which can be inferred from paragraph3?A.The ocean’s trash has grown rapidly.B.The river pollution requires less attention.C.Many animals are infected in the pandemic.D.River waste contributes most to the ocean’s trash.26.Which of the following can best describe Money Daniels?A.Optimistic and creative.B.Caring and responsible.C.Considerate and generous.D.Courageous and devoted.27.What is the passage mainly about?A.Grownups’selfish behaviors for humanity.B.A teenager’s contributions to saving the waters.C.A youngster’s responsibility to protect the world.D.Teen environmentalists’efforts to clean the oceans.The Roman Colosseum was built almost two thousand years ago.Despite its age and a14th century earthquake that knocked down the south side,most of the150-some foot building is still standing.Scientists and engineers have long suspected a key to the building’s durability(使用年限)is the use of a specific Roman concrete.But exactly how this solid concrete has contributed to the architecture’s strength has been a mystery to researchers across the globe.A team of researchers recently discovered a potential answer to why these ancient Roman buildings have been able to weather the test of time while many modern concrete structures seem to fall apart after a few decades.The answer is self-healing concrete.The material has three components:limestone(石灰石),volcanic material and water.What the researchers found was that the self-healing feature might be simply caused by chemistry accidentally.The limestone in the concrete is likely the secret.When the ancient Romans made mortar(灰浆),they heated up the lime to turn it into a substance called“quicklime”.And,because they introduced water to the quicklime during mixing,the heat it produced set up a chemical foundation that could strengthen the concrete later. When tiny cracks start to form later,the quicklime stops them from becoming bigger.When it rains,the lime reacts with the water to recombine as various forms of calcium carbonate(碳酸钙),quickly filling the crack or reacting with the volcanic ash to“heal”the material.For materials scientist Ainissa Ramirez,this new understanding of ancient Roman concrete is a welcome discovery.“This is one way that the material can be more environmentally friendly,”says Ramirez.“It’s sort of like a message in a bottle.The Romans made the material. We had to kind of figure out how they did it so that we can make better materials—and then, you know,in turn,be better protectors of our environment.”28.What can we learn from paragraph1?A.The secret of Roman concrete has been revealed.B.The Roman Colosseum was built in the14th century.C.The whole Roman Colosseum survived the earthquake.D.Roman concrete is essential to the architecture’s strength.29.What does the underlined word“weather”in paragraph2mean?A.Take.B.Stand.C.Avoid.D.Fail.30.What do we know about the self-healing process?A.The lime itself could fill the crack later.B.The quicklime should be made on rainy days.C.The chemical foundation could weaken the concrete.bining water and quicklime would produce heat.31.What can be inferred from Ramirez’s words?A.People can be inspired to make greener materials.B.The secret of Roman concrete is hidden in a bottle.C.Roman concrete has greatly improved the environment.D.Roman concrete is popular in making modern architecture.Imagine a future where science has created your twin.Not a flesh-and-blood twin,but one that recreates your flesh and blood,your bones,your heart,your brain—your whole body,in fact—as an extremely complicated computer model.Your doctors can use this digital twin to work out how you will respond to a particular drug or medical procedure.They can even look further into the future,creating a“healthcast”,to forecast what diseases might happen to you or how your lifestyle will affect your health as you age.It is the ultimate in personalized medicine.This is the bold vision set out in Virtual You: How building your digital twin will revolutionize medicine and change your life by Peter Coveney,director of the Centre for Computational Science,and Roger Highfield,science director of the Science Museum Group,UK.Digital twins are already in widespread use in industries such as civil engineering.But these model systems are much simpler than the complex human body.Imagine all the parts that come together to make you work:from the3billion letters of your genome(基因组),the numerous molecules(分子)that make up your cells,the trillions of cells building your tissues and organs, and the environment having its input too.Now,imagine trying to create a model of this that is made to each unique individual and that predicts the changes that will take place over a lifetime. This is easier said than done.Changes in the systems biologists want to describe are usually different from what mathematicians describe as“non-linear”(非线性的).Another complication is“emergence”:where the whole of a system is greater than the sum of its parts.This complexity challenges mathematics and pushes computing to the limit too.But getting to the next level—a whole human individual—is going to require yet more data and a revolution in computing technology far beyond what is currently possible.Whether we will get there is an open question,but Virtual You shows us what scientists from different fields can achieve when they all work together.32.What be learned about your science-made twin according to paragraph1?A.Your twin looks just like you.B.Your twin knows your thoughts.C.Your twin exists on the computer.D.Your twin is created out of your DNA.33.Why is it difficult to build a digital twin?A.Human body is more complicated than models.B.Digital twins are not widely used in industries.C.Scientists lack enough data in building it.D.Mathematicians and biologists hold different opinions.34.What’s the author’s attitude towards the idea of a digital twin?A.Optimistic.B.Uncertain.C.Unconcerned.D.Skeptical.35.What is the purpose of this text?A.To stress the necessity of digital twins.B.To show the effects of digital twins on future health.C.To explain the building of digital twins in health.D.To introduce new treatments for diseases in the future.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Researchers asked the students to complete two questionnaires on their sleep quality and smartphone use, in person and online.Using a 10-question scale that was developed to judge smartphone addiction in children, nearly 40% of the university students qualified as "addicted" to smartphones, the study found. “Our findings are in agreement with other reported studies in young adult populations globally, which are in the range of 30-45%,” lead author Sei Yon Sohn and her co-authors wrote in the study. "Later time of use was also significantly connected with smartphone addiction, with use after 1 a.m. increasing a 3- times risk," the authors wrote.Students who reported high use of smartphones also reported poor sleep quality, the study found. That foils in line with previous studies that have found overuse of smartphones at night to be associated with trouble falling asleep, reduced sleep duration (睡眠持续时间)and daytime tiredness. That's likely because use of smartphones close to bedtime has been shown to delay the body's normal sleep - and - wake clock.In fact, the No. 1 rule is "no computers, cell phones, and ipads in bed and at least one hour beforebed Dr. Vsevolod Polotsky, who directs sleep basic research, said in a recent interview. That's because "any LED light source from electronics (电子设备)may further hold back melatonin (褪黑激素)levels," Polotsky said. Melatoninis often referred to as a "sleep hormone," because we sleep better during the night when levels reach the top.“This is a cross-sectional study, and it cannot lead to any firm conclusions about smartphone use as the cause of reduced sleep quality, said Bob Patton, a lecturer in clinical psychology at the University of Surrey, via email.4. How did Sei Yon Sohn's team begin their study?A. By publishing researching papers.B. By responding to others’ concern.C. By collecting firsthand data.D. By turning to related experts.5. What did the study find about sleep quality and smartphone use?A. 30-45% of the university students are addicted to smartphones.B. High use of smartphones is related to poor sleep quality.C. Overuse of smartphones leads to shorter sleep duration.D. Use after 1 a.m. will result in smartphone addiction.6. What is Polotsky's opinion on electronics ?A. We should stop using them an hour before going to sleep.B. LED light source from them will delay normal sleep- and- wake clock.C. Reduced sleep quality has nothingto do with them.D. No electronics should be used in bed at any time.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Say No to SmartphonesB. Sleep Quality Can Be ImprovedC. LED Light Source Causes Great HarmD. Smartphone Addiction Ruins SleepCA crew（全体成员）of six teenage girls completed a nine-day sailing trip in the US recently, after having seasickness and strong winds.For the past three years, the Sea Cadet teenagers whoset sail were all male. Roger Noakes, who captained（担任队长）the boat, said this was the first time he’d taken out an all-female crew.The girls asked for an all-girls trip in August this year. The crew set sail along with three adults, Noakes and two Sea Cadet representatives. The original plan was for the girls to sail 24 hours a day in rotating shifts（轮流换班）along the coast and then return. Things turned out differently, however. “The first night was difficult because the wind was really hard. The waves were going up and down,” said Abby Fairchild,16. “Everybody got seasick.”Noakes gave the girls the choice of just sailing in the bay and not going into open water. “But they decided they were going.”The teenagers then sailed a long way overnight and slept in shifts. “We’ve learned everything from controlling the boat to putting up the sails while we have rough seas,” said 15-year-old Olivia Wilcox.The teenagers stopped on land in Massachusetts. They didn’t make it to their original destination（目的地）in Maine, where they were supposed to have a celebratory dinner, due to the weather and winds.

And if you believe in eatingFrench fries with your hamburger, you should worry more about carbonemission.It won't happen overnight, but as the planet’s climate changes, the growth cycles of main crops will all be heavily affected. Here are three of the crops that might not beat the heat.The potato actually needs a great deal of beauty rest to develop properly. “They need a cool nighttime temperature in order to start growing the tuber, the part that we eat,” Nelson says.Temperature and altitude are two primary concerns in coffee growth, and farmers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. “We know that coffee grows in a certain temperature range,” Nelson says. “They've been moving up the mountains, but at some point you run out of mountains to move up.” Higher-grade strains of Arabica coffee in Central American regions are at particular risk due to the need for lower growing temperature, especially since diseases and pests are also becoming more of a factor as temperatures rise.Even if you're looking at the direct effects of temperature alone, rice is in trouble. “As nighttime temperatures go up, the rice is going to have a problem flowering and won't make as many seeds,” Nelson says. In addition to this direct heat consequence, rising sea levels will flood many rice paddies and destroy water salinity levels, while droughts will lower production, raise prices, and further shame westerners who are clumsy with chopsticks to be able to clear their plates once a new grain is adopted.12. What is the closest meaning to the underlined word “emission” in Paragraph 1?A. Mixture.B. Pollution.C. Giving off.D. Going down.13. What does the potatoes' development need according to Nelson?A. Cool temperature at night.B. Sudden rise of the temperature.C. Enough water and salt.D. Much sunshine and fresh air.14. The rice is difficult to flower,probably because ________.A. sea levels go up suddenlyB. many seeds can't be producedC. the temperature rises at nightD. both temperature and altitude rise15. What is the best title for the text?A. How Does Global Warming Affect WesternersB. How Does the Cool Temperature Affect RiceC. What Is the Real Reason For Crops’ GrowthD. Three Crops That Won't Survive Climate Changes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。

These must-see bridges are now tourist attractions in their own right.Clifton Suspension Bridge, BristolDescribed byits legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel as “my first love, my darling", it was originally designed for horse-drawn traffic. Now, more than four million vehicles a year cross the 1,352ft-long toll（通行费）bridge over the Avon Gorge. The £ 1 toll for every journey pays for its maintenance. The history of the bridge, dating back to 1864, is kept alive through a programme of tours, events and exhibitions.Infinity Bridge, Stockton-On-TeesA pedestrian（行人）and cycle footbridge across the River Tees, its working title was the North Shore Footbridge, before it was given its grander name when opened in 2009. It is particularly incredible at night. The arches（拱形）of the bridge are also lit white and, on calm nights, their reflection in the water appears as an infinity（无穷大）symbol, thus inspiring the name which was chosen by the public.Tower Bridge, LondonAn engineering wonder built from thousands of tons of Portland stone and steel, it took construction workers eight years to complete.

2020-2021学年惠州市第一中学高三英语模拟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ASongkran, ThailandThis festival marks the Thai New Year, which is celebrated in the second week of April. This is the hottest time of the year in Thailand, so it makes sense that the biggest Songkran tradition is to throw water on people. Thais of all ages join in water fights, using buckets, hoses (软管)and water guns to celebrate the event.Boryeong Mud Festival, South KoreaDon't expect to come home clean after experiencing the Boryeong Mud Festival in South Korea. Famous for its mineral-rich mudflats, visitors rush to Boryeong in July to make themselves in mud, swim in grey pools and enjoy the party. There are even mudslides and a mud skiing competition for those who are seeking the extreme mud adventure!La Tomatina, SpainThe festival dates back to a parade in which some naughty teenagers knocked one performer off his stilts (高跷)and caused a fight of throwing vegetables accidentally. It was once banned until 1957 when the locals held a protest with a funeral. They carried a coffin containing a huge tomato as bands played a funeral march. In the following decades, La Tomatina has become a popular event. If you join the event, be aware that you squash (压扁) the tomato before throwing it. Have a great time but avoid causing any injury.Dia de los Muertos, MexicoBeginning at the midnight of October 31 and lasting through November 2,it is a festival when families gather together to remember those loved ones who have died, aiming to help them on their spiritual journey. On these days, Mexican families prepare special tables in their homes. On top of them they'll put photos of the dead and their favorite food. They also visit the graves of their beloved ones to show their respect to the dead.1.If you want to experience a special new year in a country, you can choose to visit ________.A.ThailandB.South KoreaC.SpainD.Mexico2.What may happen to you as a visitor in La Tomatina?A.You can perform stilts.B.Your can play funeral music in bands.C.You may be covered with mud.D.You may be attacked with tomatoes.3.Which festival is similar to the Tomb Sweeping Festival in China?A.Songkran.B.Boryeong Mud Festival. Tomatina.D.Dia de los Muertos.BFrom Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Most believe that music helps increase creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view. The study results wereechoedby scientists fromLancasterUniversity, and theUniversityofGavle, saying their findings show music actually weakens creativity.To reach their conclusions, researchers had volunteers complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music significantly weakened the volunteers’ ability to complete tasks connected with verbal creativity. The team also tested background noises like those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no influence on subjects’ creativity.The tasks were simple word games. For example, volunteers were given three words, such as dress, rise, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word connected with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunrise, sunflower). Volunteers completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while listening to two different types of music: rock music or light music“We found strong evidence of weakened performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author D. Neil McLatchie ofLancasterUniversity. He and his colleagues find that music negatively influences the verbal working memory processes of the brain, preventing creativity. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the study’s authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “regular state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration.“To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music increases creativity, and instead show that music, whatever type it is, is always a disadvantage for creative performance in problem solving,” the study reads.4. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.A. challengedB. acceptedC. doubtedD. heard5. What were the volunteers asked to do in the study?A. To play music.B. To combine given words.C. To create new words.D. To connect words with music.6. What can we infer from the study?A. Quiet background inspires creativity best.B. Library noise does no harm to creativity.C. Music has a bad effect on language ability.D. Music types matter in creative performance.7. Which is the main idea of the passage?A. Quiet Environments Prevent Concentration.B. Background NoiseAffects Concentration.C. Composing Music Weakens Creativity.D. Listening to Music Reduces Creativity.CIf you could travel back in time, which period of history would you visit? It’s a great question to ask your friends, and time travel is the subject of many science fiction films. Of course, sci-fi is familiar to most of us, butwhat is cli-fi? The simple answer is climate fiction which focuses on the subject of climate change.Many of the cli-fi examples we watch tend to be disaster films. It could be solar flares (太阳耀斑), ice ages devastating (摧毁) the planet, extreme flooding swamping the earth with water, or super-storms that threaten life as we know it. While films and novels of this style are often subject to the typical images of a hero or heroine battling to save the day, what sets it apart from most sci-fi films is that the plots will often draw on apparently reasonable outcomes in the near future.Climate change and the potential threats have long been established. Some believe that the issue of climate change has even led to more fans watching films to learn more about what's happening to the world – seeing it as a form of edutainment. A study conducted by the Yale programme on Climate Change Communication tested the effects that two climate fiction novels can have on its readers and found “significant positive effects” in terms of their attitudes and beliefs towards the climate crisis – for example, understanding global warming will harm them and future generations.Most climate films are not only extremely popular action films, but also cause our fear of what some see as the approaching end of the world. This sounds bad, but according to a study conducted on 310 adults in the US, watching such scary films can help us feel more prepared and less alone in situations such as the pandemic (疫情). So, it looks like cli-fi is hereto stay – and there seem to be some benefits. Whether it’s there to educate, entertain or prepare you for a climate crisis, it might have a role to play.8. Which of the following may be the subject of cli-fi?A. Time travel.B. Global warming.C. Weather forecast.D. Economic climate.9. What can we learn about cli-fi films from paragraph 2?A. They are often about extreme natural disasters.B. They want to show that man can conquer nature.C. They usually have similar plots with sci-fi films.D. They can show the true near future of the world.10. Why is the study conducted by the Yale programme mentioned in paragraph 3?A. To prove that climate change has potential threats.B. To show that people like climate fiction novels.C. To tell that cli-fi novels have positive effects on readers.D. To explain how the climate crisis affect the human being.11. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Cli-fi films are very popular as action films.B. A study was conducted on 310 adults in theUS.C. The pandemic make people scared and alone.D. Cli-fi films are useful and will be here to stay.DChinese paleontologists (古生物学家) have determined that, about 47 million years ago, subtropical forests once existed on the high-altitude Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.The conclusion, which appears in a paper published on Tuesday, was drawn based on the large number of fossils found in theBaingoinBasinat an altitude of nearly 5,000 meters during the second comprehensive scientific expedition to the plateau.A joint team from theXishuangbannaTropicalBotanical Gardenconducted the research on the fossils. By combining the findings and models, the team recreated the climate and altitude that existed 47 million years ago, showing that the central plateau had an altitude of just 1,500 meters and an annual average temperature of 19℃, says Su Tao, a researcher from the tropical botanical garden and first author of the paper.“It was covered by thick forest and was rich in water and grass. It is fair tocall it the ‘ShangriLa’ of ancient times,” Su adds.The researchers have also found over 70 plant fossils, the majority of which are most closely related to plant life in today's subtropical or tropical regions.“This is enough to show that the central part of the now high-altitude, freezing Qinghai-Tibet Plateau hadflourishing subtropical plants 47 million years ago,” Su says.The findings provide new evidence for the study of the evolutionary history of biodiversity and the evolution of the plateau's landscape, according to Zhou Zhekun, the paper's corresponding author and a researcher at the tropical botanical garden.Chinalaunched the second comprehensive scientific expedition to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in June 2017, 40 years after the first. Lasting up to 10 years, the expedition will conduct a series of studies focusing on the plateau's glaciers, its biodiversity and ecological changes, and will also monitor the changes in climate.12. How did the paper come to the conclusion?A. Through the observation of the Baingoin basin.B. Through the fossils found in scientific expedition.C. Through the drawing of a large number of fossils.D. Through the adventure on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.13. What can be inferred according to Su Tao?A. The average altitude of the plateau was 1,500 meters.B. “Shangrila”means a place with abundant water and grass.C. The flourishing subtropical plants have covered the plateau.D. The fossils found by researchers are tropical or subtropical plants now.14. Where might the passage come from?A. The Times.B. The Wall Street Journal.C. Chinese National Geography.D. The Economist.15. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To instruct.B. To educate.C. To persuade.D. To inform.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。

One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations （引文） showing how it was used.2. This was a huge task.,so Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as "Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,"" 50 miles from Oxford.3. Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one ofthe staff"s most valued contributors.4. But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum （精神病院） for the Criminally insane.5. Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary,sending in more tha n 10,000 submissi ons in 20 years. Murray con ti nued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes tak ing walks with him around the asylum groun ds.6. In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his n ative America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.7. Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patie nt.5.
