2019-2020学年重庆一中巴南校区高三英语一模试题及答案解析

2019-2020学年重庆一中巴南校区高三英语一模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AOlder adults who sleep six hours or fewer a night may have elevated risk for dementia(痴呆症) and other cognitive (认知的) issues, a new study finds.Researchers at Stanford University measured seniors' (ages 65 to 85) dementia risk and cognitive abilities, finding higher risk in those patients who regularly slept six or fewer hours compared to those who slept seven or eight hours. Those seniors who slept nine or more hours also had lower cognitive functions and other health issues, but the researchers didn't find the same high dementia risk in this group.The findings demonstrate how important it is for adults to maintain a healthy sleep cycle, especially as they get older.As adults age, it's common for their sleep patterns to change or becomedisrupted— leading to longer, shorter, or more irregular sleep. This disruption may be linked to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, impacting seniors' ability to remember information, problem-solve, and go through everyday behaviors. Sleep disruption can also be caused by or heighten depression, cardiovascular disease(冠心病), and other conditions.A recommended sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours, the researchers said. Six or fewer hours corresponded to short sleep, while nine or more hours corresponded to long sleep.The Stanford researchers measured levels of beta amyloid, a protein in the brain that is typically found in high levels when a patient develops Alzheimer's. In addition, the researchers used several tests for memory, attention, spatial skills, and executive function to identify patients' cognitive abilities. Those patients sleeping for six hours or fewer a night were more likely to develop dementia, the researchers found. The low-sleep patients had higher levels of beta amyloid.The Stanford researchers found that patients with lower sleep also performed worse on memory tests, while those with higher sleep (more hours) performed worse on executive function tests,which measure the brain's ability to switch between different tasks.―The main takeaway is that it is important to maintain healthy sleep late in life, Winer told CNN.1. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in paragraph 4 mean?A. difficultB. disorderedC. dissolvedD. different2. According to the findings, which of the following is NOT related to the disrupted sleep?A. It is more likely to cause old people to have bad memories over issues.B. It may contribute to dementia, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses.C. Some daily behaviors perhaps differ from those whose sleeping is normal.D It tends to bring all the old people to undergo brain scans and cognitive tests.3. What can we infer from the study?A. A proper sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours.B. Low and high sleep patients were both poor at memory tests.C. Executive function test is applied to measure the capacity of brain.D. Keeping a healthy sleep for older adults late in life is crucial.BAn afternoon nap(午睡)is one of the joys of life, although too much napping could signal all is not well. In some cultures, people will have a daily nap — thisis fine. The warning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime, when they did not before. There is certainly a good reason to believe that daytime sleepiness — as in the Alzheimer's study — can be a marker of an underlying condition.For most people, napping during the day is mainly a sign that you are not getting enough sleep at night, says Dr. Neil Stanley, a sleep expert. "If you feel sleepy during the day, you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs — it doesn't need to be kept awake with caffeine, it needs sleep. "The feeling to notice is "sleepiness", he says, not "tiredness", which could be more psychological and linked to stress.So how do you nap well? The key thing, says Stanley, is how long your nap lasts. Choose either a 20-or 90-minute nap. "When you fall asleep, you'll quickly go through the lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep. You don't want to wake up in deep sleep because that's when you wake and feel worse than you did before. "Napping for 20 minutes means you will wake up before you go into deep sleep; napping for 90 minutes means you'll complete a sleep cycle.Once you factor in the time it takes to fall asleep — some people are better at napping than others but, says Stanley, "a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes" — you can set an alarm, allowing a 30- to 40-minute period for a short nap, and up to two hours for a longer one.A good time to nap is during the body's natural dip in the afternoon, between 2 pm and 4 pm. "You don't really want to be napping much pastthatbecause then you are going to be eating into your night-time sleep,"Stanley says. The point, he stresses, is to get good night-time sleep, which would ensure you probably don't need to nap at all.4. What does an afternoon nap indicate for most people?A. Caffeine addiction.B. Psychological stress.C. Insufficient night sleep.D. Potential physical illness.5. What is the key to a good nap?A. Duration.B. Surroundings.C. Health.D. Stages.6. What does the underlined word "that" in the last paragraph refer to?A. A 30- to 40- minute period.B. Between 2 pm and 4 pm.C. Between 5 and 12 minutes.D. A 20- to 90-minute period.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Why to phase a napB. When to take a good napC. What to learn from a napD. How to have a successful napCYou’re in a crowd of people who are all asking for the same thing. How do you make your voice heard above the rest? Be different. Don’t shout. Lisa, 25, was waiting to board a plane flying fromLondontoAustriafor Christmaswhen the flight was cancelled.“There were about a hundred of us unable to leave,” she says. “Everyone else was shouting at the airport staff. Instead of joining in, I walked up to the man behind the ticket desk very quietly and said, ‘This must be so awful for you! I don’t know how you deal with these situations—it’s not even your fault. I could never handle it as well as you are.’ Without my even asking, he found me a seat on another airline with an upgrade to first class. He was happy to do a favor forsomeone who was appreciative instead of unfriendliness.”Flattery (恭维) is an essential element of the sweet-talk strategy. “It’s human psychology that stroking a person’s ego (自我) with a few well-directed praises makes them want to prove you right,” says apsychologist. “Tell someone they’re pretty and they’ll instantly fix their hair; praise their sense of humor and they’ll tell a joke.”You need help and there’s ly no reason that the person will want to lend a hand. Allison, 26. a lawyer, realized she’d made a huge mistake on a batch of documents. “The only way I could fix the problem was to get the help of a colleague who I knew didn’t like me,” she said.Allison then went to the woman’s office and explained her problem. “As I was saying to the boss the other day you’re the only person who would know how to handle a situation like this, what would you suggest I do?”“Feeling pumped up (鼓励), she set about helping me and we finished the job on time, and she was happy to help.” Allison said.8. Whatwould have happened at the airport according to paragraph 1?A. The departure hall was filled with noise.B. Someone screamed just lo be different.C. The passengers waited on board patiently.D. The airport stuff were rude to the passengers.9. Why did the man put Lisa on another airline?A. He admired Lisa’s beauty.B. He appreciated her attitude.C. He was ready to help others.D. He was blamed for the cancellation.10. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The potential benefits of ego.B. The strategy to start small talk.C. The great importance of flattery.D. The value of humor in daily life.11. What can we learn about Allison’s colleague?A. She was a popular lawyer.B. She was always ready to help others.C. She always got praise from Allison.D. She did a great favor for Allison eventually.DAs we all know, there are plenty of different parks to visit in theUK. All theme parks inBritainhave cafes, restaurants, picnic areas and gift shops, so you'll still have plenty to see and do when you and the kids have been on enough rides. There are usually smaller “funfair“ rides and games as well, so younger children won't get bored. Several theme parks also have other attractions next to them, e. g. water parks often open all year round, unlike the theme parks.Whenever you are inBritain, there's likely to be a theme park within one or two hours,drive, bus ride or train journey. Several theme parks even have accommodation(膳宿)so you can stay for a day or two if you want to make a trip into a short holiday.Prices forUKtheme parks vary considerably; some have an entrance price which allows you to go on all the rides, while in others you have to pay for every ride individually. It can also make a difference whether you go during peak time or not. For example, tickets always cost more during school holidays and weekends than they doduring the weekdays.Theme parks always get very busy during the summer months, so if you don't like crowds ifs usually a good idea to go earlier or later in the year!If you're thinking of visiting aUKtheme park, it's worth having a look for special offers on tickets. Products such as chocolate bars and cereals sometimes have " buy one get one free" offers on theme park tickets, so keep a look out in shops and supermarkets.12. This passage mainly talks about all the following EXCEPT.______.A. things to doB. prices for theme parksC. rules to obeyD. special offers13. If you go to the theme park during the weekdays, you'll probably.______.A. have to spend moreB. save some moneyC. win a big prizeD. get something free14. According to the passage, what should you do if you are tired of crowds in the theme park?A. Avoid the busiest months.B. Go earlier or later in the daytime.C. Choose one with few visitors.D. Go there when no one is in it.15. The best title for the text would be ______.A. What to Do in the Theme ParkB. Theme Parks in theUKC. Visiting the Theme ParkD.

D.Langkawi geopark 4.British children's writer Roald Dahl ate chocolates and sweets "pretty much every mealtime", remembers daughter Ophelia Dahl.After dinner, whether dining alone or entertaining guests, Dahl would pass around a little red plastic box full of Mars Bars, Milky Ways, Maltesers, Kit Kats and much more.He knew the history of all the sweets and could tell you exactly when they were invented. 1937 was a big year when Kit Kats (his favorite), Rolos, and Smarties (his dog, chopper's favorite) were invented. He wrote a history of chocolate, lecturing schoolchildren to commit such dates to memory, such as 1928 when "Cadbury's Fruit and Nut Bar popped up on the scene", saying don't bother with the Kings and Queens of England. All of you should learn these dates instead. Perhaps the Headmistress will see from now on that it becomes part of the major teaching in this school.According to Dahl, the Golden Years of Chocolate were 1930-1937. In 1930, Roald Dahl was 14 years old. He was a student at Repton, a famous boys' boarding school in England. It was a tough environment: Those in authority were more interested in controlling than educating the students.Ironically, it was at this difficult period that chocolate became Dahl's passion. Near Repton was a Cadbury chocolate factory. Every so often, Cadbury would send each schoolboy a sampler box of new chocolates to taste and grade. They were using the students — "the greatest chocolate bar experts in the world" to test out their new inventions.This was when Dahl's imagination took flight. He pictured factories with inventing rooms with pots of chocolate and fudge (软糖)and “all sorts of other delicious fillings bubbling away on t he stoves”.“It was lovely dreaming those dreams... when I was looking for a plot for my second book for children, I remembered those little cardboard boxes and the newly-invented chocolates inside them, and I began to write a book called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."For the record, Roald Dahl did not like chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream. He said, “I prefer my chocolate straight.”4.What can we learn about Roald Dahl?A.He treated himself with various chocolates after dinner secretly.B.He has a good knowledge of chocolate, especially its history.C.He used to lecture schoolchildren of a boys, boarding school.D.He only wrote some books related to the history of chocolate.5.What happened during the Golden Years of Chocolate?A.It was a great time for children to get educated.B.Those years stopped Dahl's interest in chocolate.C.Students could become chocolate experts then.试卷第4页,总11页D .Roald Dahl's passion for chocolate was lit up then.6.Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase? A .paid off B .went on C .picked upD .took off7.What gave Roald Dahl inspiration to write Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? A .The dreams about chocolates. B .Factories with chocolate and fudge. C .Those boxes with chocolates. D .Chocolate cakes and ice cream.Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us to do things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and a new way to attract customers.You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets ( 配件)unmanageable, they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate our ability to figure out how acomplicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.8.What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A.The benefits brought by the advanced technology.B.The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.C.The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.D.Many problems of usability known by the consumers.9.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A.It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.B.What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.C.Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.D.The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product10.What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?A.They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.B.They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.C.They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.D.They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy ThingB.Feature-heavy Products in DemandC.The More Features, the BetterD.Simplicity Outweighs ComplexityAnecdotal evidence has long held that creativity in artists and writers can be associated with living in foreign parts. Rudyard Kipling, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Gauguin, Samuel Beckett and others spent years living abroad. Now a pair of psychologist has proven that there is indeed a link.As they report in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, William Maddux ofINSEAD, a business school in Fontainebleau, France, and Adam Galinsky, of the Kellogg试卷第6页,总11页School of Management in Chicago, presented 155 American business students and 55 foreign ones studying in America with a test used by psychologists as a measure of creativity Given a candle, some matches and a box of drawing pins, the students were asked to attach the candle to a cardboard wall so that no wax would drip on the floor when the candle was lit. (The solution is to use the box as a candleholder and fix it to the wall with the pin.) They found 60% of the students who were either living abroad or had spent some time doing so, solved the problem, whereas only 42% of those who had not lived abroad did so.A follow-up study with 72 Americans and 36 foreigners explored their creative negotiating skills. Pairs of students were asked to play the role of seller of a petrol station who then needed to get a job and a buyer who would need to hire staff to run the business. The two were likely to reach a deadlock because the buyer had been told he could not afford what the seller was told was his minimum price. Nevertheless, when both negotiators had lived abroad 70 % struck a deal in which the seller was offered a management job at the petrol station in return for a lower asking price. When neither of the negotiators had lived abroad, none was able to reach a deal.Merely travelling abroad, however, was not enough. You do have to live there. Packing your beach towel and suntan lotion will not, by itself make you Hemingway. 12.What is the purpose of mentioning the famous names in the opening paragraph? A .To show the relationship between creativity and living abroad. B .To indicate the link between artistic creation and life experience. C .To emphasize how great these artists are. D .To impress the importance of creativity. 13.What can be inferred from the text?A .William Maddux and Adam Galinsky have carefully designed the test.B .Negotiators who had lived abroad are more flexible in negotiating.C .American business students are less creative than those oversea students.D .One's creativity is associated with the length one has spent abroad. 14.What does the author mean in the last sentence of paragraph 4? A .There exist sharp differences between travelling and living abroad. B .You shouldn't lie on the beach when travelling.C .Only real experience of living abroad can help drive creativity.D .Living abroad is more meaningful than just travelling abroad. 15.Where is the text most likely from?A .A diary.B .A magazine.C .A novel.D .A guidebook.二、完形填空I was cycling and noticed a person, about a quarter of a kilometer in front of me. I could tell he was cycling a little slower than me and decided to try to 16 him. I had about a kilometer to go on the road 17 turning off.So I 18 cycling faster and faster and every 19 I was gaining on him just a little bit.

I had gone nearly six blocks past it and had to turn around and go all the way back.Isn't that what happens in life when we 28 competing with co-workers, neighbors, and friends, trying to 29 that we are more successful or more important? We spend our time and 30 chasing after them and we miss out on our own 31 to our future. The 32 of unhealthy competition is that it's a never-ending 33 , because there will 34 be somebody ahead of you, someone with a better job, more money and more education, etc.Therefore, just take what life has given you, your height, weight and personality. Stay focused and live a healthy life. There's no 35 in life.

More often its effects are slow but harmful. Research shows that lead is a threat to little babies, who are most likely to take in dust and paint chips that contain lead. Their brains can be easily harmed. 38.The dangers of lead have long been known. American banned it from paint 40 years ago, and by the late 1990s leaded petrol had been stopped gradually in almost all rich countries. But the effects continue to exist. 39.The situation is more alarming in the poor world, where the use of lead-based paints is spreading. As people in Asia and Africa become richer, they start to decorate their homes, but the paint they use, even from pots labeled "lead-free" often contains it.It is neither difficult nor expensive to stop using lead. 40.And industrial use is no exception, because the contamination (污染物)spreads and industrial paint inevitably finds its way into the consumer market. Yet only four sub-Saharan African countries have formally placed bans and local factories are often unaware of the harm that lead causes.A.Yet lead is also a poison.B.It turns up everywhere.C.All countries should ban lead in paint.D.Half a million American children are diagnosed with lead poisoning.E. There is no excuse for poor countries to repeat the mistake of rich ones.F. Taking some simple precautions can help protect you and your family from lead exposure.G. But only years after exposure are the results apparent in lower IQ and learning disabilities.四、语法填空阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式Fuchsia Dunlop decided to visit China after reading articles about the country for several试卷第10页,总11页months.

On the broad landing between Miss Havisham's own room and that other roomin which the long table was laid out, I saw a garden chair -- a light chair on wheels that you pushed from behind. It had been placed there since my last visit, and that same day I pushed Miss Havisham in this chair (when she wastired of walking with her hand upon my shoulder) round her own room, andacross the landing and round the other room, which, from that day on, becamemy regular job.As we began to be more used to one another, Miss Havisham talked more to me, and asked me such questions as what had I learnt and what was I going to be? I told her I was going to be apprenticed(做学徒) to Joe, mysister’s husband; then I explained my knowing nothing and wanting to know everything, in the hope that she mightoffer some help. But, she did not; on the contrary, she seemed to prefer my being ignorant. Neither did she ever give me any money - or anything but my daily dinner - nor even mentioned that I should be paid for my services. Estella was always about, and always let me in and out, but never told me I might kiss her again. Sometimes, she would coldly tolerate me; sometimes, she would be seemingly kind to me; sometimes, she would be quite familiar with me; sometimes, she would tell me energetically that she hated me. Miss Havisham would often ask me in a whisper, or when we were alone, “Does she grow prettier and prettier, Pip?” And when I said yes, Miss Havisham would seem to enjoy it greedily. Also, when we played at cards Miss Havisham would look on Estella's moods, whatever they were. And sometimes, when her moods were so many and so contradictory of one another that I was puzzled what to say or do, Miss Havisham would hold her tightly with great fondness, saying something quietly in her ear that sounded like “Break their hearts my pride and hope, break their hearts and have no mercy!”1.What did Pip regularly do at Miss Havisham’s home?A. He placed the garden chair on the broad landing.B. He walked with Estella’s hand upon his shoulder.C. He learned knowledge from Miss Havisham.D. He pushed Miss Havisham in the wheel chair.2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. Pip was excited to learn from Joe, his sister’s husband.B. Pip desired to improve his present situation.C. Miss Havisham felt sorry about Pip’s being ignorant.D. Miss Havisham helped Pip by paying for his services for her.3.What’s Estella’s attitude towards Pip?A. ChangeableB. SincereC. Warm-heartedD. Indifferent4. Miss Havisham held Estella tightly because _______.A. she wanted to blame Estella for hurting Pip.B. she felt worried about Estella’s moods.C. she thought Estella did something right.D. she treated Estella like her own daughter.3. According to a survey, only 4% of the people in the world are left-handed. Why? One theory centers on the two halves of the brain. For example, the left half and the right half, each of which functions differently. Medical sciencebelieves that the left half of the brain dominates over the right half. The foundation of this theory is the fact that nerves from the brain cross over at neck-level to the opposite side of the body, and nerves from the other side of the brain reciprocate (互换). The end re ­ sult is that the oppositesides of the body are controlled by the opposite sides of the brain.The dominant left half of the brain, which kindly supplies the right half of the body, theoretically makes it more skillful in read ­ ing, writing, speaking, and working, and makes most people right-handed. Lefties, however, whose right half of the brain dominates, work best with the left side of their bodies.Theory number two focuses on the asymmetrical nature of the body. Examples of the asymmetry, which flows from head to toe, are that the right side of our faces differs slightly from the left, that our legs differ in strength, or that our feet vary in size. One aspect of this asymmetry isthat for most people the right hand is stronger than the left.There is no doubt that all exist in a “right-handed society”, whichproduces most basics, including scissors, doorknobs, locks, screwdrivers, automobiles, buttons on clothing, and musical instru ­ ments for the 96%. Left-handed people make up for the unfairness by being members of an elite (精英) society, which includes many of the greatest geniuses, including Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Left-handed people are better at speakingB. Left-handed people are believed to have stronger left halves of the brainsC. Right-handed people are cleverer than left-handed peopleD. Right-handed people work best with the right side of their bodies2.Which of the words or phrases is closest in meaning to the word “asymmetrical”?A. valuable ________B. not typicalC. not balancedD. negative3.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Left-handed people may feel inconvenient in this right-handed societyB. This is an equal society for the left-handed peopleC. Most great geniuses are left-handedD. Left-handed people are considered to be disabled4. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Which proves to be the better way to live, right-handed or left-handed?B. How do left-handed people differ from right-handed ones?C. Why are some people left-handed?D. Are left-handed people equally treated in society?4. Is beauty something always positive? Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive(主管的)circle, beauty can become a disadvantage.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man onhis way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manlyposition appears to lack the manly qualities required.This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and womendifferently, ” says Anne Bowman, who recently p ublished a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates (候选人). She asked 125 college students to rank twogroups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told thephotographs were of candidates for political offices. Theywere asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewestvotes.1. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ________.A. makes women look more honest and capableB. strengthens the manly qualities requiredC. often enables women to succeed quicklyD. is of no importance to women2.Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness_____.A. turns out to be a disadvantage to menB. has as little effect on men as on womenC. affects men and women alikeD. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women3.According to the passage, people’s views on beauty are often _____.A. practicalB. one – sidedC. old fashionedD. supportive4. The passage is mainly about _____.A. the advantages of being attractiveB. the disadvantages of being attractiveC. equal rights for womenD. the importance of appearance二、七选五5. 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。

The event on Saturday in Mains was one of several officially qualifying competitions for international championships in Finland, with the others held in Australia, Sweden and Estonia.Nearly every team employed the "Estonian carry" , in which the woman hangs the head down with her legs hooked around the man's neck and her arms around his waist, which fries his hands. Despite the competition's name, the couple does not need to be married.The winners on Saturday were Jesse Wall, a gym owner, and his friend Christina Arsenault. Under the rules of the game, they won Arsenault's weight in beer and five times the numerical value of her weight in cash. Asked what he planned to do with the 10 cases of beer, Wall looked around and said, "Share them with everyone here."(1) What does the writer want to tell us?A. The wife carrying sport was originally held in Australia.B. The annual event in Main has been around for 15 years.C. People had to use the "Estonian carry" in the championship.D. People had to get married to take part in the championship.(2) Why did the Finnish invent the event?A. To make an amusing news story.B. To attract more travelers to Finland.C. To test people's courage and patience.D. To make people join in outdoor activities(3) Which of the following countries is the officially qualifying competition not held in?A. Finland.B. Australia.C.

In July last year, the six-time speed reading champion Anne Jones sat down to read Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman. Just 25 minutes and 31 seconds later, she finished it-which equals a reading rate of around 3, 700 words per minute. Jones runs training coursed teaching speed reading, recall and concentration technique and there are numerous speed reading alps that have appeared on the market over the past few years. But do they actually work?First, we need to understand how we read. The human eye movement system is central to our reading ability. Read over that sentence again, and think about how your eyes scan across the words. They don't move smoothly over them. Instead, they make a series of short, sharp jumps, skipping over a few characters before briefly landing on a word. The movements are known as saccades(扫视)and the paused are called fixations.“Reading isn't just about seeing the words-you need to comprehend them to build up a picture about what the text means. People are able to get through a block of text faster, but at the cost of accuracy and understanding. In other words, if you use a speed reading app, then you'll probably get the gist(主旨)of a piece of text, but you'll struggle to recall details about what you've just read.So, does speed reading work? Well, yes and no. It really depends on what you're reading and why you need to read it. As yet, there isn't a trick that enabled you to read a piece of text both quickly and accurately-there's always going to be a TAL#NBSP trade-off.(1) What's the main idea of the passage?A. Speed reading is bad at times.B. Speed reading is a waste of time.C. Speed reading can work sometimes.D. Speed reading is always enjoyable.(2) What can we know from the passage?A. Reading alps ensure we read much faster.B. Fast reading makes us learn more knowledge.C. Reading is no more than seeing the text words.D. Reading ability is related to the eye movement system.(3) What does the underlined word "trade-off" most probably mean in the last paragraph?A. Balance.B. Change.C. Business.D. Bargain.(4) What might the writer continue to talk about?A. The advantaged of faster or slower reading.B. The reasons why to do faster or slower reading.C. The cases where to do faster and slower reading.D. The methods for making use of faster or slower reading.3、【来源】 2019年重庆高三一模(C篇)第28~31题8分(每题2分)A shirt, tie and blazed may not be my favorite, but if I were given the choice, I wouldn't throw away the idea of school uniform. Wearing a uniform is a badge of pride, created an identity for a school and is an important part of being a school student.My school is one of many that seem to be shifting to a more formal uniform-this September I will be wearing a shirt and blazed instead of my old jumper and polo shirt. A number of students have complained about the change, but some people believe that a school uniform can improve learning by reducing distraction, sharpening focus on schoolwork and making the classroom a more serious environment, allowing students to perform better academically. Perhaps most importantly, a uniform means students don't have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn't so important. There is no competition about being dressed in the latest trend, which would put a great deal of financial pressure on students and parents. Potential bullies have one less target for their insults; it's hard to make fun of what someone is wearing when you're dressed exactly the same.In America, where a majority of schools do not have a uniform, roughly 160, 000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. This might not be directly linked to what they're wearing, but having a uniform can be a safety net for many students who might otherwise suffer from bullying. A uniform gives the impression that rules are strict, perhaps helping maintain a sense of order at school.My uniform might not be what I would wear in my own time, but it gives me a sense of belonging, takes away the pressure of what to wear and stops the bullies. School uniform isn't fashionable, but that's exactly why I think it should be here to stay.(1) Why does the writer mention American children without uniforms in the passage?A. To show pity for American kids.B. To raise the government's attention.C. To prove the benefits of school uniform.D. To inform readers of American kids' uniforms.(2) What is the writer's attitude towards school uniforms?A. Disapproving.B. Confused.C. Suspicious.D. Favorable.(3) Which is the advantage of wearing school uniforms for school kids?A. It sharpens concentration on outdoor tasks.B. It removes the teachers' financial pressure.C. It satisfies students' dressing tastes and favorites.D. It helps students maintain a sense of order at school.(4) What is the best title for the passage?A. My Cool School UniformB. The Point of School UniformC. The Idea of Dressing ProperlyD. The Way of Guarding Kids' Safety4、【来源】 2019年重庆高三一模(D篇)第32~35题8分(每题2分)Roberto Clemente is the greatest baseball player of all time. He had an unbelievable batting average (击球率)in all seasons he played. Having won four batting titles, Gold Glove Awards twelve times, and a Most Valuable Player Award, he is certainly the best that ever played.Besides being the best baseball player, Roberto Clemente was also a great man and a hero.

In 1999, the city of Pittsburgh, where he played baseball, renamed a bridge after him—a bridge that leads to the city's beautiful new stadium.No one summed up the life of Roberto Clemente and the baseball commissioner(总干事)when, at Clemente's Hall of Fame award ceremony, he said, "He was so great a man, as a leader and humanitarian, so great an inspiration to the young and to all in baseball, especially to the proud people of his homeland, Puerto rich. "The commissioner further honored Clemente by creating a sportsmanship award in his name.(1) What can be concluded from Roberto Clemente's trip to Nicaragua?A. He got injured in an air crash.B. He cared about people and the world.C. He donated a huge sum of money to Nicaragua.D. He earned his fame for his bravery and generosity.(2) What do we know about Roberto Clemente from the passage?A.

There are many ways you can incorporate nature into your children's lives, even if you live in the city.Inspire curiosity by being curious yourself. A parent's excitement can be spread to the children, and when you show respect for nature, your children follow suit.1. "I don't know! Let's find out together." is a wonderful way to get the ball rolling. Be open to a mutual adventure and allow your curious inner child to come out while you explore nature with your children.2. If you have to carpool(拼车)in the morning, turn off the device instead and encourage your children to look out of the window. The early morning fall skies are beautiful with color and migrating birds. After all, even views of nature from the car window are calming and beneficial.Stop thinking about nature time as leisure time. Time in nature is an essential investment in your children's health and well-being. If you view nature time as essential to good health, you will be more likely to engage in it.3, nurturing creativity and wonder is part of your responsibility as parents.Look at the stars.

Imaginate FestivalC. The RoyalEdinburghMilitary TattooD.EdinburghInternational Film FestivalBA former UPS driver and his wife have made history by donating $20 million to Morgan State University – the largest gift any historically black college or university (HBCU) has ever received from a former student. The money, pledged by Calvin Tyler Jr and his wife Tina, will fund scholarships that were established under the Tylers’ name in 2002.Tyler grew up in a low-income family and was forced to drop out of Morgan State University in 1963 because he could no longer afford to study. The following year, Tyler saw a job advertisement in a Baltimore newspaper from United Parcel Service and got a job with the company as a driver. He rose through the ranks during his 34-year career at the global shipping company to become its senior vice president of US operations and a member of the board of directors before retiring in 1998.Tyler and his wife, also a Baltimore native, have lived all across the country but he said they have never forgotten their humble beginnings.Their latest pledge follows a $5million commitment they made in 2016 for the fund, which to date has supported 222 students with full or partial scholarships.Marybeth Gasman, a professor at Rutgers University who studies HBCUs, said the gift is significant because public HBCU’s like Morgan State University tend to have a lower alumni giving rate compared to private ones.“For a long time, they weren’t asking alumni to give,” she said. But that has changed in the past couple of decades, she added, and the schools have “started asking alumni to give and creating a culture of philanthropy (慈善) on campus.”David K. Wilson, the president of Morgan State University, said the money will help students for years to come. “Morgan is so proud to call this son and daughter of the great city of Baltimore our own,” he said in a statement. “Through their historic giving, the doors of higher education will most certainly be kept open forgenerations of aspiring leaders whose financial shortfalls may have kept them from realizing their academic dreams.”“We are forever indebted to the Tylers”.4. Why is Tyler’s donation historic?A. He was a former UPS driver.B. The donation is large enough.C. The donation will fund his scholarships.D. He used to be a student at the university.5. What is a driving force of Tyler’s donation?A. His working experiences.B. His career achievements.C. His promise to the university.D. His past embarrassing situations.6. Which is true about HBCUs according to Gasman?A. They are mainly public universities.B. They are encouraging alumni to donate.C. They rarely accept help from the alumni.D. They have changed little over the decades.7. What can be inferred about Tyler from Wilson’s comments?A. He’s helped many city leaders.B. He’s grateful to his university.C. He’s made great contributions.D. He’s proud of his son and daughter.C14 days. That’s the time Chinese scientists took to identify the full genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus (新冠病毒) since its outbreak. It was shared with the WHO immediately, and has now become an important foundation for global researchers in the fight against the COVID-19. But first, let us turn the clock back 17 years, when it took months to identify the SARS virus. From months to 14 days, what changed? It turns out AI played an important part.The scientists first obtained bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid (支气管扩张灌洗液) samples from patients, isolated (分离) the DNA and RNA, then sequenced the genetic material by comparing them. AI’s advantage is its ability to recognize patterns among a flood of data.Let me put it in a simple way. Sequencing the coronavirus genome (基因组) is similarto looking for a needle in a haystack (干草堆)---looking for genotypes (基因型) with specific characteristics from a huge gene pool. That’swhere search algorithm (算法), a branch of modern AI, comes in. Think of it as an efficient search engine, which can find the needle in the haystack. This search algorithm can shorten months-long genetic sequencing to weeks or even just a few days. Combined with macro-genomic sequencing and a virus library, this AI technology can also be used in tracking virus mutation (突变).AI doesn’t just support scientists. It can also help patients by improving the efficiency of diagnosis (诊断).Chinalaunched a Genomics Service, which can run multiple virus gene comparisons and produce a detailed report within 60 seconds. This algorithm hasbeen put into use inChinaand shared to the world for free.8. AI’s advantage is that it can ________.A. slow down the spread of coronavirusB. separate DNA from RNAC.identify specific genotypes rapidlyD. obtain samples from patients quickly9. The search algorithm helps shorten the time of genetic sequencing by __________.A. finding a needle in a haystackB. serving as a search engineC. combining with a virus libraryD. tracing virus mutation10. What do we know about the Genomics Service in the last paragraph?A. It has been widely used in the world.B. It is mainly based on blood test.C. It is for fast diagnosis of COVID-19.D. It is used to track COVID-19 patients.11. What’s the best title of the passage?A. 14 Days---ChinaMade it!B. AI Assists in COVID-19 FightC. Search Algorithm, Best ChoiceD. China’s Genomics ServiceDIn June, 2021, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the capital of Canada’s Manitoba province, will begin test-launching (试发射) a satellite the size of a Rubik’s cube.The one-kilogram Win-Cube satellite, named for its home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up to several years, communicating information that could help find the signs of earthquakes.There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high-school based program of its kind in Canada. 30 Manitoba high school students are having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace (航空航天的) experts and 10 students from the University of Manitoba, and with support from two other organizations.The Win-Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper; it is real-world engineering, allowinghigh school students to have an opportunity to learn more about the exciting world of engineering through their participation in this challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with high-school participation will bring this world-class educational project into reality and Manitoba closer to space“These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their enthusiasm, innovation (创新), and a strong love for discovery,” said Education, Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjomson. “We want to make science more relevant, interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this case, in space,” Bjomson added.The Win-Cube program is mainly aimed at inspiring a strong desire for discovery on the part of the students. It also shows Manitoba’s devotion to research and innovation and the development of a skilled workforce—all important drivers of knowledge-based economic growth.12. What can we learn from Mr. Bjomson? .A. Those Manitoba high school students are worth praising.B. The study of space can be practically made in classrooms.C. Manitoba high schools are famous for the study of space.D. Scientific research is too far away from high school students.13. What is the primary purpose of the project ? .A. To find the early signs of earthquakes.B. To relate studies to practical.C. To help high school students study real-world engineering.D. To inspire a strong desire for discovery among the students.14. According to the passage, what can we know about the Win-Cube satellite? .A. It is named after Manitoba and its shape.B. It is intended for international communication.C. It is designed like a Rubik’s cube both in shape and size.D. It is challenged by university students around the world.15.

That is one reason why astronauts on single space flights were given plenty of work to keep them 36 . They were also in constant communication with people onthe earth.However,being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone.This is what 37 on long submarine(潜水艇)voyages.It will also happen on 38 space flights in the future. Will there be special problem of 39 under such conditions?Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages.They have found that the longer the voyage 40 ,the more serious the problem of adjustment is.When men are 41 up together for a long period,they begin to feel uneasy.Everyone has little 42 of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 43 .Apparently,although no one wants to be alone all the time,everyone needs some 44 of privacy(隐私).Being together,they’re in what is called a stress situation.That means that they are under an unusual amount of 45 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 46 stress situations better than others.That is one reason why so much care is taken in 47 our astronauts.These men undergo a long period of testing and training.One of the things tested is their behavior under stress.36.

Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat(栖息地).It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.56. What is the passage mainly about?A. Disappearance of African elephants.B. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.C. The effect of African elephants' search for food.D. The eating habit of African elephants.57. What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably me an?A. Fixing the time.B. Worsening the state.C. Improving the quality.D. Deciding the conditions.58. What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?A. They result from the destruction of rain forests.B. They provide food mainly for African elephants.C. They are home to many endangered animals.D. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.59. The passage is developed mainly by _____.A. showing the effect and then explaining the causesB. pointing out similarities and differencesC. describing the changes in space orderD. giving examplesBWhen a Swedish ship that sank in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm, historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to examine the remains of the past. The ship construction showed how ships were built and operated during the seventeenth century. In this way, artifacts, objects made by human beings, provided a picture of daily life almost 400 years ago. Underwater archaeology-the study of ships, aircraft and human settlements that have sunk under large bodies of water-is really a product of the last 50 years. The rapid growth of this new area of study has occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment .Besides the Swedish ship wreck(残骸),underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the 5000-year-old boats in the Mediterranean Sea.Underwater archaeology can provide facts about the past. In ancient ports all over the world are ships sunken in the past 6,000 years. There are also sunken settlements in seas and lakes telling of people’s way of life and their systems of trade in ancient times. Underwater archaeologists want to study these objects to add to the world's knowledge of history, but they have to fight two enemies. One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors. Once sold, these objects are lost to experts. The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机)often used to repair ports. These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud. By teaching the public about the importance of underwater ‘museums’ of the past, archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.60.What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?A.To provide background information of the topicB.To attract readers' attention to the topicC.To use an example to support the topicD.To offer basic knowledge of the topic61.The aim of underwater archaeology is to _____ .A. exploit water bodiesB. search for underwater lifeC. study underwater artifactsD. examine underwater environment62.Underwater archaeologists are worried because_____.A.sea hunters have better diving equipmentB.their knowledge of world history is limitedC.dredging machines cause damage to the portsD.sold artifacts can hardly be regained for research63. What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To introduce a young branch of learning.B.To discuss the scientists’ problems.C.To explain people’s way of life in the past.D.To describe the sunken ships.CA study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started afive-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before.University tuition fees (学费)are currently capped at £3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research, the teenagers were presented with die terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average £31.000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just £17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than £ 10.000. Average debts for graduates are £ 12,363.Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said. "The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they are to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15. from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.64. Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A. Students understand personal finances differently.B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.C. Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D. The students' payback ability has become a major issue.65. The underlined phrase "to raise the ceiling" in paragraph 2 probably means "______".A. to raise the student loansB. to improve the school facilitiesC. to increase the upper limit of the tuitionD. to lift the school building roofs66. According to Stephen Moir, students_______.A. are too young to be exposed to financial issuesB. should learn to manage their finances wellC. should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance67. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many British teenagers do not know money matters wellB. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C. Financial planning is a required course at college.D. Young people should become responsible adults.DDoctors fighting malaria(疟疾), one of the deadliest diseases on the planet,may soon have a new affordable weapon in their smart phones. Researchers have found a way to use the phone’s camera to detect the microorganism in the patient's blood that causes the disease. According to the World Health Organization, almost 600,000 people died of malaria in 2019, making this mosquito-borne disease one of the deadliest in the world. The saddest aspect of this calamity(灾难) is that it affects mostly young children.Early detection of the infection is important for successful treatment. But since the first symptoms resemble ordinary flu, a microbiologist must look at a drop of a patient’s blood under a microscope for a proper diagnosis.Scientists in Britain have now developed a smart phone attachment called Xrapid, that turns the phone into a 200-power microscope, while the attached app - based on facial recognition software - quickly detects the parasitic protozoa(寄生原生物)in the blood smear(血涂片).Jean Viry-Babel is the CEO of IanXen, the company that developed the app. He says it is cheap and works on the spot. “So we take a high-definition picture of a sample of blood. We separate the red blood cells from the rest - the white blood cells, the platelets - and we start looking at each of the red blood cells individually," said Viry-Babel.Viry-Babel says the app is affordable, easy to use and provides reliability of up to 98 percent. The only additional equipment required is an ordinary glass lab slide - called a "slate." “Th ere's only one button, which is called "Diagnose". So you put it on the slate and you put it on the dried blood, and you press diagnose and it tells you yes or no," he said.Researchers say the field-testing of the device will begin in January and February in Tanzania, Benin and Indonesia - while commercial use is scheduled to start by the end of March. They also plan to expand the versatility of the new device - teaching it to recognize other diseases, such as tuberculosis and Lyme Disease.68.Who are mostly affected by malaria?A.old peopleB. young childrenC.teenagersD.adults69. Which of the following is Not the advantage of the app.?A.affordableB. easy to useC. reliableD.additional70. When will the device be commercially used?A. In the beginning of JanuaryB. By the end of FebruaryC. By the end of MarchD.In the beginning of March71. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Smartphones Becoming Tools for Diagnosing MalariaB. Doctors Fighting MalariaC. Different Kinds of DiseasesD.Smartphone’s ApplicationEA recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science,also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”, This idea is dangerous.Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions.The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对), whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime.They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them frommaking efforts to build a safer world.In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling”science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.72. What can we conclude from the recent study?A. People think highly of science.B. People hold mixed opinions about science.C. Science is getting dangerously out of control.D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.73. According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.B. Businesses will have even greater influence on science.C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.D. People will work more actively to put science under control.74. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because_______A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomesB. the ties between different areas need strengtheningC. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienceD. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science75. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.B. The development of science mostly lies in people's attitudes.C. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.D. The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.IV、书面表达(满分35分)写作一(满分15分)请结合材料,按要求用英文写作。
