2020-2021学年北京市北外附属外国语学校高三英语上学期期末考试试题及答案解析
2020-2021学年北京市北外附属外国语学校高三英语上学期期末考试试题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AThailand is a country with a long and rich history. It is also one of those countries which have many traditions which modern times fortunately have not affected. Thailand is famous for its unique culture. It is well worth noting that Thai culture hasbeen handed down from one generation to the next.Thai Classical DanceThe inspiring culture includes local music and wonderful Thai dances. The dances of course have something to do with its deep-rooted Buddhist religion, fighting arts and beautiful clothing. Thai classical dance performances are generally performed by gracious (高雅的) Thai ladies wearing beautiful Thai local costumes. Most resort (旅游胜地) areas and many hotels frequently offer these Thai culture dance shows for foreign visitors.Thai GreetingThe unique Thai gesture of greeting another person, the wai, is especiallyone of the great aspects of Thai culture. The wai is when a person joins both hands to either head or chest level while bending their head slightly towards his hands. This way of greeting is especially done when a younger person greets an older person and it indicates a sign of respect to their elders. Employees would also wai their managers even if the manager would be younger than themselves.BangkokBangkok is the culture center of Thailand and has been the Thai capital since the end of the eighteenth century. Observing Thai culture in Bangkok can be great experience as the combination of modern times and traditions have created a kind of unique atmosphere. Bangkok offers a package of Thai culture which is shown by numerous beautiful Buddhist temples and many examples of modern Thai architecture.Bangkok National MuseumAnother location in Bangkok where one can enjoy and see Thai culture is at the famed Bangkok national museum, which offers tourists an opportunity to view national treasures and unique Thai art pieces with its culture feature dating back as early as the late sixteenth century.1.Thai classical dance is related to ________.A.its living level and educationB.its history and architectural styleC.its customsD.its religious belief2.In Thailand a worker uses the gesture, the wai , to greet________.A.his close friend.B.a young stranger.C.his younger colleagues.D.his young boss.3.What make Thai culture in Bangkok so unique?A.The long history and fine weather of Bangkok.B.The mixture of the modern culture and traditions.C.A number of beautiful Thai Buddhist templesD.Many examples of modern Thai architecture.BMichele Gentile, an Italian bookseller, is offering free books to children in exchange for plastic bottles to recycle.Michele owns Ex Libris Cafe in Polla，a small town in southern Italy. He said he thought of the recycling program, because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment.''My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment," Gentile explained.The idea for the initiative (倡议) came after Gentile collaborated with a nearby middle school on an aluminum recycling project. Working together, the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to purchase books for an entire classroom. His new program too off from there and has already spread into northern Italy: Gentile's hopes his work will continue to make headlines and become a worldwide initiative.The free books come from customers in Gentile's shop who have donated money to purchase a ''suspended" book. The idea comes from a World War II practice in which customers would buy two Coffees: one for themselves and another for the next person in line. Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative, While Gentile's program is a great way to recycle and get kids to read, it also brings awareness to the growing problem of plastic waste. Single-use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world, only 14 percent of which are recycled. Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose (分解),is a major concern for environmentalists.Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations, and recycling programs like Gentile's book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.4. What is the purpose of Gentile's book giveaway?A. To sell more coffee and books.B. To attract more customers.C. To collect money for a new project.D. To inspire reading and recycling.5. How did Gentile come up with the idea?A. Working with a school to recycle cans.B. Seeing school kids don't like reading.C. Donating books for a local school.D. Buying a “suspended” book for a child.6. Who pay for the books of the project?A. The local government.B. Gentile himself.C. Some publishers.D. His customers.7. Whichof the following is the best title for the text?A. An Italian's Reading InitiativeB. Recycling Can Get Kids Free BooksC. Michele's Way of Doing BusinessD. A New Way to Deal with Plastic WasteCWhen I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived atHeathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch theskaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caughta few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”8. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?A. He felt disappointed.B. He gave up his hobby.C. He liked the weather there.D. He had disagreements with his family.9. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?A. Be careful!B. Well done!C. No way!D. Don't worry!10. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?A. To join the skateboarding.B. To make new friends.C. To learn more tricks.D. To relive his childhood days11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A. Children should learn a second language.B. Sport is necessary for children's health.C. Children need a sense of belongingD. Seeing the world is a must for children.DTrue friend from a distant landInternational friends can come in many shapes and sizes. However they arrive on the scene, they are always appreciated, especially in times ofturbulence. Michael Lindsay (1909 — 94) is a case in point.After graduating from the University of Oxford in 1931, Lindsay arrived in China in 1937 on a ship from Canada intending merely to teach economics at Beiping Yenching University, the current Peking University. He traveled with Norman Bethune the Canadian doctor who dedicated his life to medicine in China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931 — 45).Lindsay left Beijing at the end of 1941, and went to the Communist-led Jinchaji base(晋察冀边区)together with his wife Li Xiaoli, who was a Shanxi local and a former student of his.“Lindsay was inspired by the hard work local Chinesepeople made in fighting against Japanese aggression. After learning that Chinese armies on the frontlines were suffering supply shortages, Lindsay was determined to lend a hand," says Yan Juhai, a retired official from Shanxi's Lyuliang city. "In the Jinchaji base, NieRongzhen( 1899 — 1992), the base's top commander, appointed him to work as the communications expert, where he became a full-time radio technician contributing greatly in communication technology innovation and training," says Yan.In 1944 Lindsay and his wife arrived in Yan'an in Shaanxi province and helped fix its telecommunicationequipment. They stayed for 18 months in Yan'an, and after the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, they decided to return to the United Kingdom to visit their parents.12. Which word in the following can best replace the underlined word?A. peaceB. warC. stressD. sorrow13. Why did Lindsay go to the Communist-led Jinchaji base according to Yan Juhai?A. Because his wife was a Shanxi local.B. Because he was warmly invited by NieRongzhen.C. Because he was touched by Chinese people's effortsD. Because he was more interested in communications.14. What can we learn from the article?A. Lindsay and his wife stayed in China for over 8 years.B. Lindsay's wife was also skilled in communication technology.C. Lindsay was appointed as the communications consultant in Shanxi province.D. Lindsay taught economics in the Jinchaji base besides his work as a radio expert.15.

of$16.5billion.As a result,the beautifully named place lost its beauty.Shane Grammer,a creative director for Disney’s theme parks in Los Angeles,paid close attention to the news of the fire.He felt quite helpless when seeing the pictures shared by his childhood friend Shane Edwards in the town,in which Shane photographed his white chimney,the only part of his house left after the fire.“I’ve got to paint that chimney,”he said to Inside Edition.“I’m not trying to say anything.And it was an opportunity for me to express and be an artist,isn’t it?”Grammer spent three hours spray-painting the image of a woman on the chimney, which is strikingly mysterious black and white,in the ruins.Perhaps it serves as a reminder of the beauty of life or just life itself.Then Grammer put the picture on Instagram.On seeing it,the victims of the fire could not contain themselves.“Beautiful and haunting,”one of them commented.And another said,“You bring beauty and hope.”At this time,Grammer became aware that something deeper had been transformed by a purely artistic expression.“When the first mural（壁画）moved so many people,I knew I had to come back up,”he said to KRCR-TV.Grammer returned to Paradise eight timesin three months,during which he completed17paintings of victims and Biblical figures, pickups and parts of buildings on walls.Today,Grammer’s efforts have developed into a movement.He has also painted murals in dark places that seriously need some light around the world.Ironically,the first painting,on the chimney in Paradise,existed for just several months,since the bulldozer（推土机）is a merciless art critic.But Grammer couldn’t be more pleased about it,which means the spirit of Paradise is rising again.40.How did Grammer come up with the idea of painting the chimney?A.From Disney’s theme parks.B.From his friend’s description of the fire.C.By looking at a picture of Shane Edward’s remaining chimney after the fire.D.After learning about the news of the fire.41.Why did Grammer tell Inside Edition that he wasn’t trying to say anything?A.Because he had nothing to say.B.Because he felt it difficult to express himself.C.Because he had his way to express himself.D.Because he had no opportunity to express himself.42.What does the underlined part“something deeper”in Paragraph5refer to?A.People’s inner feelings.B.People’s words.C.The meaning of the mural.D.The background situation.43.What do Grammer’s murals mean to people?A.They are mysteries.B.They are entertaining.C.They are artistic expressions.D.They are inspiring.44.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The people in Paradise are in high spirits now.inches away that I noticed the folded piece of paper in her tiny hand.Silently,she reached up and handed it to me.Once unfolded,I looked at the drawing she’d made with her broken crayons on the back of an old coloring book cover.It was of two girls—one much taller than the other—and they were holding hands.She told me it was supposed to be me and her,and on the bottom of the paper were three little words that instantly broke my heart.Now almost in tears,I couldn’t control myself anymore—I bent down and hugged her.She hugged me,too.And for the longest time,neither of us could let go.I left for home early the next morning.I was returning with muddy boots and holes in my jeans.But because of Dakota,I brought back something else,too—a greater appreciation for all or the blessings of my life.I’ll never forget that barefoot little butterfly with the big smile and dirty face.I pray that she’ll never forget me either.45.What did the author expect before taking this mission trip?A.An exciting experience.B.A routine result.C.A special memory.D.A surprising change.46.The underlined part means that the little

experiences.B.One often wants to lead a meaningful life.C.One should be more grateful for the gift of life.D.One occasionally benefits from the poverty.DThe Milky Way is full of habitable(宜居)places,with roughly half of all sunlike stars hosting Earth-size worlds that could be friendly to life.Here’s a good sign for alien hunters:More than300million worlds with similar conditions to Earth are spread throughout the Milky Way galaxy.A new analysis concludes that roughly half of the galaxy’s sunlike stars host rocky worlds in habitable zones where liquid water could pool or flow over the planets’surfaces.Astronomers estimated the number of these planets using data from NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft.For nine years,Kepler stared at the stars and watched for the brief twinkles produced when orbiting planets block a portion of their star’s light. By the end of its mission in2018,Kepler had spotted some2,800exoplanets(外星行星)—many of them nothing like the worlds orbiting our sun.But Kepler’s primary goal was always to determine how common planets like Earth are.The calculation required help from the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft, which monitors stars across the galaxy.With Gaia’s observations in hand,scientists were finally able to determine that the Milky Way is populated by hundreds of millions of Earth-size planets orbiting sunlike stars—and that the nearest one is probably within20 light-years of the solar system.It took more than half a century for scientists to start pinning down how many planets could possibly host life.In1961,astronomers knew of no worlds orbiting stars other than the sun—and although planetary formation theories suggested exoplanets should be common,we had no observational evidence that they existed.But over the past decade, it’s become clear that planets are extremely common,outnumbering stars in the Milky Way.On average,nearly every star is home to at least one orbiting world.Early estimates suggested that perhaps20percent of sunlike stars hosted a world that met those criteria.We now know that the number is closer to50percent,if not more.Of course,many factors determine whether a world in the habitable zone is truly friendly for life.Planetary characteristics such as magnetic fields,atmospheres,and plate tectonics all play a role,and those are difficult to observe on small,faraway worlds. 51.When the author says,“Here’s a good sign for alien hunters”,he probably means_________.A.that’s good news for huntersB.we will find aliens soonC.there is a clear signal from alienD.many sunlike stars have been found that may be habitable52.How did Kepler work to find exoplanets?A.By observing the brief flicker that occurs when orbiting planets block some of the star’s light.B.By using the data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft.C.By calculating the stars in the galaxy.D.Through its own calculation.53.What can we infer from paragraph4?A.Kepler’s primary goal was to make sure that the Earth is a common planet.B.Kepler helped Gaia to calculate the planets.C.Gaia is only20light-years away from the solar system.D.Kepler monitors stars across the Milky Way.54.What does paragraph5mainly talk about?A.The importance of planetary formation theories.organize varieties of activities like English Corner and English Speech Contest,providing a platform for us students to improve our oral English.I sincerely hope you will vote for me.That's all.Thanks for your listening!听力部分A卷（Key to1～15）1-5AABBB6-10CABCB11-15CBBACB卷（Key to1～15）1-5CCCAC6-10CCAAB11-15BABCB。
