Here is a list of colors, which can change your life.Blue/PurpleBlue is considered to be peaceful and calming and it has the same effect on our health. The blue / purple color in food is due primarily to their anthocyanins which are antioxidants (抗氧化剂) that are particularly heart healthy and may help support healthy blood pressure. Out of all the blue and purple foods available, blueberries are considered to have the highest antioxidant level. An analysis of the latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study found that people who eat purple and blue fruits and vegetables are at a reduced risk for high blood pressure and are less likely to be overweight.A food and health expert says that blue and purple color foods can prevent blood mass formation, and they also lower the risk of cancer.Foods that contain blue and purple colors are: reddish eggplant (especially the skin), blueberries, blackberries, purple grapes, etc. GreenWe all know that we should eat green as green symbolizes nature. The green foods are rich in isothiocyanates, which help resist cancer.Dr. Ashok Agarwal, a food and nutrition specialist, explains, "They are excellent sources of folic acid, vitamin K, as well as carotene （胡萝卜素）. Diets high in those above are associated with lowered blood pressure."Foods that contain the green color are: broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, etc.RedLycopene (番茄红素) in reddish fruits and vegetables is a powerful antioxidant that has been associated with a reduced risk of some cancers, and also provides protection against heart attacks.Dr. Smiths says, "Cooked tomato sauces are associated with greater health benefits as pared with the uncooked version as the heating process allows lycopene to be more easily absorbed by the body. Obtaining the most benefit from food depends on proper selection, storage and cooking of theproduce."Foods that contain red color are: Tomatoes and tomato products, watermelon, guava, red onions, red chili, red apples, red grapes, cherries, etc.OrangeThe orange foods are also rich in carotene, which are particularly good antioxidants. These foods are monly considered eyesight foods because they contain vitamin A."Orange fruits and vegetables also play a part in preventing cancer, particularly of the lungs and stomach. Foods that contain the color orange are: Carrots, mangoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc.16.

But he did something different -he actually listened to people． Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversations．I thought it was odd, but I guess I had grown accustomed to people asking how I was doing simply out of a robotic conversational habit． After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble（咕哝,含糊地说） something back． I could say, "I just found out I have six months to live," and someone would reply, "Have a great day!"This old cashier seemed genuine about wanting to know how people were feeling． Meanwhile, the high-tech cash register rang up their purchases and he announced what they owed. Customers handed money to him, he hit the appropriate keys gently, the cash drawer opened, and he counted out their change．Then magic happened． He placed the change in his left hand, walkedaround the counter to the customer, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship．As their hands met, the cashier looked the customers in the eyes．"I surely want to thank you for shopping here today,“ he told them, "You have a great day． Bye-bye．" The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless．All had been touched by his simple gesture． Now it was my turn, I glanced down at the name tag on his red vest, the kind experienced Wal-Mart cashiers wore．It read, "Marty．"' Marty told me how much I owed and I handed him some money．The next thing I knew he was ,standing beside me, offering his right hand and holding my change in his left hand．His kind eyes locked onto mine, smiling, and with a firm handshake．21．While the author stood in checkout line, maybe she felt a little A． calm B．nervous C． impatient D． relaxed 22．In the opinion of the author, people would ________.A．remain silent while shopping B．have a conversation on bad newsC．think carefully before a response D．have a mechanical chat with each other23．What made Marty different from other cashiers?A．He treated his customers friendly and sincerely．B．He calculated without using the cash register．C．He was interested in other's life．D．He used the change to do some magic．24． From the passage, we can infer that MartyA．didn't know how people were feeling B．devoted himself to his jobC．wasn't skilled in doing his job D．was familiar to all his customers25．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A．Shopping for fun B．The Conversation at a ShopC．The Handshake D．An Old CustomerCThe crisis at Japan’s Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear energy center has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. Arjun Makhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster in Japan is historic.This week, the chairman of America’s nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan could reach the United States. Nuclear Regulatory mission Chairman Gregory Jaczko also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979. That was when America’s worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy.To support more clean energy production, the Obama government has been seeking billions of dollars in government loan guarantees to build new centers. Presently, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States es from nuclear energy. But critics say nuclear power is too costly and dangerous to be worth further expansion.German prime minister Angela Merkel said Germany would close all seven nuclear power centers for a moment while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty-seven member nations.Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion. China said it will continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear plants. And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the ing years.Japan has made nuclear energy a national priority since the 1970s. Unlike many major economies, Japan imports eighty percent of its energy. The Nuclear Energy Institute says twenty-nine percent of Japan’selectricity came from nuclear sources in 2011. The government planned to increase that to forty percent by xx.Nuclear plants supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean resource, producing no carbon gases. But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved(未解决的) issue. So is the presence of nuclear power centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr, Iran.26. Which of the following countries is the least likely to expand its use of nuclear energy?A. China.B. India.C. Iran.D. Germany.27. The government of Japan intended to increase its nuclear energy inxx by ______ pared with 2011.A. 29%.B. 40%.C. 69%.D. 11%.28. Which of the following statements about the use of nuclear power in the U.S. is TRUE?A. Most of the electricity es from nuclear energy in the U.S.B. The Obama government is against building nuclear power plants.C. A small number of nuclear power plants have been built since 1979.D. A serious nuclear accident happened in America at the end of the 1970s.29. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. The nuclear crisis in Japan has spread to other parts of the world.B. The situation of the world nuclear power development after the crisis in Japan.C. Japan’s nuclear disast er will slow the expansion of nuclear plants all over the world.D. Japan’s nuclear disaster won’t affect the nuclear energy production in other countries.30. From the last sentence of the passage, we can see the writer’sattitude towards building a nuclear power plant near Bushehr, Iran is .A. supportiveB. optimisticC. negativeD. uncertainSection C (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions : Fireworks are crackling through the night skies across the globe as revelers celebrate the first moments of xx.Crowds gathered in public spaces in major cities across the Asia-Pacific region to ring in thenew year with music, fireworks and revelry. As clocks marched toward midnight around the world, crowds massed in Moscow, Dubai, London, New York and other major cities ahead of their celebrations.Dubai created what it called the world's largest fireworks show. About a million people are expected to gather in New York's Times Square to watch a giant ball drop at the stroke of midnight, the best known of the American New Year's Eve rituals.Fireworks erupted from Auckland's Sky Tower as people danced in the streets of New Zealand's biggest city. In Sydney, Australia, more than a million people watched fireworks launched for the first time in more than a decade from the sails of the city's famed waterfront opera house. Billowing fireworks soared over Hong Kong's skyscrapers.In Japan, some celebrators ate noodles and seafood - thought to bring good luck in xx --- and offered prayers at Buddhist shrines and temples.However, celebrations were somewhat muted in the Philippines, where officials say about 260 people were injured by fireworks or stray bullets(流弹) in the days leading up to New Year's Eve. The mood also was somber in areas still recovering from Haiyan, a November typhoon that killed thousands of people.Cape Town, South Africa, was set for a particularly poignant celebration to include a tribute to anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela, who died December 5.31．How did crowds in public spaces in major cities across the Asia-Pacific region celebratethe New Year?

People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbor at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness (荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go ---to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City ---its present population is 762.4. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favorable climate.5. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.6. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.7. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.CWhile famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize —which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture —on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus (校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves (曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements (元素) .Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that traditions once existed,” he said.“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created,” he said.“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are,” said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.8. Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ____________.A. following the latest world trendB. getting international recognitionC. working harder than ever beforeD. relying on foreign architects9. What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A. Its hilly environment.B. Its large size.C. Its unique style.D. Its diverse functions.10. What made Wang’s architectural design a success?A. The mixture of different shapes.B. The balance of East and West.C. The use of popular techniques.D. The harmony of old and new.11. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?A. Spread them to the world.B. Preserve them at museums.C. Teach them in universities.D. Recreate them in practice.DAdults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund (基金) (our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor).For weeks, I’ve been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this.I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max.I chose a red rubber ball---simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.12. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. The more, the better.B. Enough is enough.C. More money, more worries.D. Earn more and spend more.13. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?A. Saving up for her holiday.B. Raising money for a poor girl.C. Adding the money to her fund.D. Giving the money to a sick mother.14. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?A. To try out an idea.B. To show a parent’s love.C. To train his attention.D. To help him start a hobby.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Take It or Leave ItB. A Lesson from KidsC. Live More with LessD. The Pleasure of Giving第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021年高三英语上学期第七次周考试题

2021年高三英语上学期第七次周考试题第二部分：阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)第一节：(共l5小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AActress Hayden Panettiere recently got into trouble with Japanese fishermen as she tried to stop them from killing dolphins.The 18-year-old star with some other surfers sailed out to reach the dolphins in order to stop them from being driven into a nearby pool and killed, but the six surfers, from Australia and the United States, were stopped by a fishing boat before they could reach them. The fishermen blocked their way with a boathook (钩篙). It was an ugly, unfriendly and life-threatening struggle before the surfers were forced to return to the beach. It is believed that the dolphins were later taken into a pool and killed.Panettiere, who is a brave surfer and loyal animal protector, made up her mind to save the dolphins of Japan and said, "It was really frightening.Some of us were hit by the boathook, but in the end all we were really worried about was the dolphins. It was so sad. We were so close to them and they were jumping out of the water to see us." Breaking down in tears, she added, "One little baby dolphin stuck his head out and looked at me and the thought that it’s no longer with us is really hard to take."The surfers left the country to avoid arrest (逮捕)by the Japanese police. Panettiere is now back in Los Angeles.More than 22,000 dolphins are killed by fishermen in Japan every year. Many Japanese believe dolphins should be treated like fish. They have been hunting dolphins for centuries and see any criticism (批评) of this as an attack on their culture.21. Why did the surfers get into trouble with the fishermen in Japan?A. They said something that hurt the fishermen.B. They entered a pool which wasn’t allowed to go into.C. They attacked Japanese culture.D. They tried to stop the fishermen from killing the dolphins.22. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that Panettiere ________.A. was really frightened and sadB. succeeded in saving the dolphinsC. cried when they were hit by the boathookD. didn’t like the Japanese fishermen23. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. What Happened While Surfing in JapanB. Hayden Panettiere Cried in the Sea of JapanC. People Worldwide Are Against Killing DolphinsD. Protect the Wild AnimalsBThe influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day.I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood.In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It’s certain that many things from America are as much a part of people’s lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I’ve known about Coca Cola for my whole life.However, it’s different with Western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home.On the other hand, maybe McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is being more and more a part of our lives every day.24. From the first paragraph we can know that ____.A. the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhereB. most Spanish pe ople don’t like to listen to their own musicC. fast food spreads from Spain to the United StatesD. some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills25. What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain?A. American novels.B. Hollywood movies.C. McDonald’s.D. American music.26. Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain?A. To protect foreign culture in Spain.B.To earn more money from Spanish films.C. To limit the number of foreign movies.D. To unite the European munity.27. What do you think Spanish tapas might be?A. The name of a drink.B. The name of a restaurant.C. A clothing brand.D. A certain kind of food.CDear Mr. Price,I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with thefood and service, but what happened last Saturday made me very angry. It was my son'sbirthday so we ordered a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrivedon time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p. m., we were givena table in the smoking area. I asked to move but I was told that there were no othertables. A lot of people were smoking so it was unfortable and unhealthy.The first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinksfor waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When mywife had eaten most of her meal, she found a little insect in her vegetables. Shewas surprised and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece ofgarlic（大蒜）. When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she said sorry andtook the food away.We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife's meal. Nobody came.

So were her parents. Joan expected her elder sister, Sally,to be just as delighted as them. Joan had always admired Sally--the beauty and thestar of the family--and felt happy about her achievements.But since the baby's arrival, the sisters have bee distant. Joan feels hurt forSally seems pletely uninterested in her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims thather younger sister "acts as if no one ever had a baby before."Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister--and Sally doesn't like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood petition don't fade easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life.In a study of the University of Cincinnati, 65 men and women between ages 25 and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters. Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden petitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives.Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive--yet still tend to pete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister can't wait to tell me when I've put on weight. However, she's a terrible cook and that pleases me; I tease her when she es to dinner. Happily, despite these small failings, we have been an important resource for each other.In between the very petitive and the generally supportive children lie those who say that no friendship should survive. Some brothers and sisters stay at arm's length, hut never give up petition pletely. Why do these puzzling, unproductive, often painful relationships continue to exist?32. When Joan's son was born, Sally .A. felt very happyB. felt not delightedC. moved awayD. admired her a lot33. What happens to children's desire to pete with their brothers and sisters?A. It sometimes will disappear when they grow up.B. It will never disappear throughout life.C. It will improve their relationships when they grow up.D. It will never harm their relationships when they grow up.34. Why does the author's sister often tell her when she's put on weight?A. Because she wants the author to go on a diet.B. Because she wants the author to stop calling her a bad cook.C. Because she wants to make fun of the author's weight.D. Because she wants to be honest with the author.35. The underlined sentence means that although some brothers and sisters .A. live near each other, they still have petitionsB. live away from each other, they stop their petitionsC. live together, they often think of ending their petitionsD. live within a big family, they often try to end their petitions第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Here’s a chicken wrap,’’her pal said. “But be careful, it’s kind of wet.” They weren’t in the food store. They were in front of the store, digging through three overflowing trash bins. Hashimoto Dumpster-dives(拾荒) for all her food, doesn’t use toilet paper or do laundry, and hasn’t bought makeups in 10 years. She doesn’t have to live this way — she’s an employed CPA(注册会计师). “I’ve always been money-saving, but it was when I was fired that I became extreme,” Hashimoto explained.“No job is guaranteed, so I live as if I could be fired at any time.”Manhattan, she said, is a gold mine for dumpster divers.“Consumers in wealthy areas expect their products to be perfect, so upscale stores throw out a lot of items that are still good.“New York can be the most expensive place to live, but it can also be the least expensive if you know how to work the system.”Hashimoto let the reporter of a newspaper spend a day with her learning how to work the system. She lives in Harlem, where she bought a studio in xx and paid it off in nine months, but walks down to the Upper West Side three times a week for good, free food. Her other money-saving methods include using soap to wash herself after using the toilet, taking surveys online to earn gift cards, participating in medical trials, testing products for free samples, cutting her own hair, washing her clothes while she showers, and running to work to avoid using subway. “I was very angry about the latest round of subway fare rises,” she said.Hashimoto does have her limits. Her furniture is a collection of found free gifts — but she won’t take an old mattress for fear of bedbugs, and sleeps instead on used yoga mats. And she won’t stay in a relationship with a boyfriend for free meals.“I’ve been in a relationship where I stayed because I was getting free gifts, but I got out of it,” she says. “It’s better to be single and dumpster-diving than to be with someone you can’t stand.”21．The author mentions Kate’s friend at the beginning to ______.A. show there are too many dumpster diversB. introduce the topic of the textC. show they have the same lifestyleD. show the close relationship between them22．The underlined word “upscale”(in Para.3) is closest in meaning to_______.A. largeB. high-classC. farawayD. fortable23．How does the author develop the fourth paragraph?A. Offering the sufferings of Kate.B. Making parisons.B. Discussing the high living cost in New York.D. Providing details of Kate’s daily life.When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language barriers.（障碍）How wrong I was! The misunderstandings(误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Penny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”“Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit （点） young?”“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”“Oh!” he said, “There’s a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Penny explained the misunderstandings to me.“Don’t worry,” she said to me. “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other!”24．At first the writer thought _____ in America.A. he wouldn’t have any language difficultiesB. he would not understand the AmericansC. the Americans might not understand himD. it wouldn’t be an easy and relaxing holiday25．From the passage we can see that “give somebody a ring”_____.A. means the same in America as in EnglandB. means “call somebody” to the American people.C. has two different meaningsD. means “be going to get married” in England26．In the last paragraph, the underlined “they” refers to（指的是） _____. A. the old man and the boy B. the AmericansC. the BritishD. the French27．Penny will agree with the idea that _____.A. Americans use words entirely（完全地） differently from BritishB. Americans speak in a funny wayC. It will be hard for the author（作者） to get used to American EnglishD. Americans and British can understand each other in most cases（情况）Music is an international language. The songs that are sung or played by instruments （乐器） are beautiful to all people everywhere.Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios （收音机） with earphones and listen to music before class, after class and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers (扬声器) and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics(政治), and activities of the American people. But most of the radio broadcast(广播) is music.Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes es to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has bee a national star.Besides pop music, there are two other kinds of music that is important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the mon（平凡的）life of Americans. The other is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music. 28．In America, every student likes ______.A. folk musicB. country musicC. pop musicD. western music29．According to the passage, most of the car radio broadcast is ______.A. sportsB. the weatherC. politicsD. music30．How many kinds of music are mentioned(提到) in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.31．What’s the best title of the passage?A. Music in AmericaB. Music ListenersC. Cowboys in AmericaD. International LanguageRecently a professor of philosophy(哲学)in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day to day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he has asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value(重视)in life．The professor says our relation with others often bees clearly defined(明确)when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money．If he does，it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Otherwise it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t． Since money is so important to us, we consider those who are rich to be very important. The professor interviews some rich people in his research for his book．Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich? Answer : The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect(尊重).I am nothing．I don’t know much．All I am is rich．People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much money do I need for any given purpose in my life? In his book，the professor uncovered an important need in modern society：to bring back the idea that money is a tool rather than the end．Money plays an important role in the material world，but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.32．The students are asked to keep a record of every penny they spend to______.A. learn how to spend moneyB. learn how to make more moneyC. know what to write in a recordD. know what is important in life33．In the second paragraph, the professor mainly tells us ________.A. never to borrow money from a friendB. friendship disappears when it es to moneyC. money can influence friendshipD. money can weaken friendship34．Through his book，the professor seems to tell us ．A. money is very important in the material worldB. the purpose of our life is to make moneyC. money does not surely mean happinessD. we should value money in our life35．Which of the following might the author disagree?A. Money is important in modern society.B. The meaning of life does not pletely lie in money.C. Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness.D. Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A girl born under this zodiac (生肖) is believed to have a wild steed-like (骏马般的) spirit that will block her fortunes, bringing her family trouble. As a girl growing up in South Korea, I was repeatedly told to fight against my steed-like spirit and instead try being still, gentle, and quiet.Actually, when I was young, I loved exploring the mountainous roads behind our house, examining the various soil layers in nearby fields and running wild outdoors. I often returned home with soiled clothes.Then I entered high school and settled on a quiet career choice: I would become a lawyer. My elders praised me for a decision they imagined would lead me to a respectable desk job. However, when I was accepted into a prelaw program, I found the courses boring. That’s when a teacher pushed me in a different direction. “You could always get a science degree, and go back into law,” she said.I took her advice and landed in the United States to study geology (地质学). Shortly thereafter, though, culture shock set in. I was not ready for the intense physical requirements of my field courses. One 6-week summer course required long-distance hikes, camping in extreme heat, and heavy lifting. My cultural upbringing had discouraged such “wild” activities and I had never gone on extended hikes or camped before. But other women in my program were an inspiration. I saw beauty in their strength, and I wanted to be like them.By the end of my undergraduate degree, I had fully accepted my love of being a tough girl. And I’d given up on the idea of becoming a lawyer. My parents didn’t quite know whatto make of my adventurous field life. But they were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction.I’m now a professional with years of experience collecting samples in challenging field environments. My wild, steed-like spirit wasn’t something to suppress. Instead, it led me to a career that’s a perfect fit for me.4．What can we learn about the author in her childhood?A．She was a quiet and shy girl.B．She was encouraged to study hard.C．She brought misfortune to her family.D．She had a love of outdoor exploration. 5．What was the reason for the author’s studying geology in the US?A．The dream of studying abroad.B．The difficulty of getting a law degree.C．Her disappointment at the prelaw program courses.D．Her desire to act against her family member’s control.6．What happened to the author when she started to learn geology?A．She was not interested in the field courses.B．She was looked down upon by other women.C．She failed her courses because of culture shock.D．She was not used to doing hard outdoor activities.7．What does the underlined word “suppress” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Press on.B．Hold back.C．Count on.D．Support for.The practice of paying children an allowance became popular in America about 100 years ago. Nowadays, American kids on average receive about $ 800 per year in allowance. But the vast majority of American parents who pay tie it to the completion of housework. Although many parents believe that paying an allowance for completing chores (家务活) benefits their children, a range of experts expressed concern that tying allowance very closely to chores may not be ideal. In fact, the way chores work in many households worldwide points to another way.Suniya Luthar, a psychologist, is against paying kids for chores. Luthar is not opposed to giving allowances, but she thinks it’s important to establish that chores are done not because they will lead to payment, but because they keep the household running. Luthar’s suggested approach to allowance agrees with that of writer Ron Lieber, who advises that allowances beused as a means of showing children how to save, give, and spend on things they care about. Kids should do chores, he writes, “for the same reason adults do, because the chores need to be done, and not with the expectation of compensation.”This argument has its critics, but considering the way chores are undertaken around the world may change people’s thinking. Professor David Lancy of Utah State University has studied how families around the world handle chores. At about 18 months of age, Lancy says, most children become eager to help their parents, and in many cultures, they begin helping with housework at that age. They begin with very simple tasks, but their responsibilities gradually increase. And they do these tasks without payment. Lancy contrasts this with what happens in America. “We deny our children’s bids to help until they are 6 or 7 years old,” Lancy says, “when many have lost the desire to help and then try to motivate them with payment. The solution to this problem is not to try to use money as a motive for doing housework, but to get children involved in housework much earlier, when they actually want to do it.”8．What do some experts think about paying children for doing chores?A．It may not be the best thing to do.B．It may not help complete homework.C．It may benefit children in the long term.D．It may help children engage more in labor.9．According to Ron Lieber, parents should give children allowances to ________.A．strengthen family ties B．appreciate their helpC．motivate them to do more housework D．teach them ways to manage money 10．What does David Lancy say about 18-month-olds?A．They should learn to take family responsibilitiesB．They are too young to request money for what they do.C．They have a natural tendency to help around the house.D．They need a little support to get involved in housework11．What does David Lancy advise American parents to do?A．Set a good example for children.B．Accept children’s early bids to help.C．Teach children how to do housework.D．Reward children for doing housework.Speaking a native language that requires tones appears to boost perception of melody (旋律), but at the cost of rhythm, researchers report April 26 in Current Biology. The massiveglobal study shows how language skills affect other areas of cognition.Tonal languages (声调语言) use pitch (音高) to pronounce words differently that otherwise might sound the same. In Mandarin, for instance, ma means horse while ma means mother. Nontonal languages like Spanish sometimes include pitch changes to suggest emotion, for example, but not to change a word’s meaning.As a Mandarin speaker and flutist, Jingxuan Liu wondered about the relation between language and music. While studying psychology as an undergraduate at Duke University, Liu helped analyze the musical abilities of nearly half a million people from 203 countries. Her colleagues had launched an online game in which participants completed several musical tasks, including identifying matching melodies at different pitches and finding beat tracks that fit songs’ rhythms.On average, native speakers of the 19 represented tonal languages were better at the melody task compared with speakers of 29 nontonal languages. And the effect wasn’t small -atonal first language enhanced melodic perception by about half the amount that music lessons did, which was also surveyed. But tonal language speakers tended to be worse at the rhythm task.Humans must be choosy about what they pay attention to. Pitch patterns are vital in tonal languages, which might explain the musical trade-off. “You’ve got a limited resource of attention, and you’ve got to allocate that somehow,” says study coauthor Courtney Hilton, a cognitive scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.Prior research on language and music often compared just two tongues, usually English and Cantonese or Mandarin. But other cultural influences, such as Eastern and Western music styles, could have affected results. By examining a wide range of people, the new study included languages never assessed in this way and reached more general conclusions.“Our result here is showing that the language someone speaks -which is an important part of culture—also shapes cognition,” Hilton says.12．Why is pitch used in tonal languages?A．To distinguish words.B．To produce similar sounds.C．To suggest emotion.D．To clarify a word’s meaning. 13．What can we learn from Jingxuan Liu’s study?A．Speakers of tonal languages are good at music.B．Speakers of nontonal languages are better at rhythm.C．Languages make no difference to melodic perception.D．Nontonal languages are comparable to tonal languages.14．What is Courtney Hilton’s attitude towards the study?A．Doubtful.B．Dismissive.C．Approving.D．Cautious. 15．Which can be the best title for the passage?A．Prior research, new findings B．Music or culture: a dilemmaC．Who is to blame for poor language skills?D．What accounts for different musical abilities?There are several reasons to use canvas (帆布) grocery bags or reusable grocery bagswith a big difference.From an environmental perspective, canvas grocery bags are better choices than paper or plastic bags. 17 Besides, turning to reusable supplies is viewed as greener than using disposable (一次性的) products, many of which wind up in landfills because a community lacks the ability to recycle them.Plastic grocery bags have a number of environmental drawbacks. When plastic grocery bags end up in the natural environment, they can cause a wide range of problems. Animals may choke on or be trapped in such bags. 18 While the bags may eventually break down, they can poison a large number of sea creatures along the way. Paper bags will biodegrade much more quickly, but they still require the use of timber, a resource which some people would prefer to see left in forestsIt may be upsetting to lose a batch of groceries due to a poorly-constructed grocery bag19 . They can also be easily washed in the event of leaks.20 For example, they can be used to pick up books at the library or carry other shopping, and they make great beach bags because of their wash ability. For people who don’t want to carry a grocery store logo, canvas grocery bags can be turned inside out and left plain or painted with new designs, and some companies sell plain bags which people can dye or decorate to taste.A．Many grocery stores carry canvas grocery bags.B．You only have to buy a canvas grocery bag once.C．However, canvas grocery bags can hold more weight.D．Canvas grocery bags have uses beyond the grocery store.E．What’s worse, plastic can stay in the ocean for thousands of years.F．Canvas is more environmentally friendly to produce than paper or plastic.G．Some environmental organizations have been pushing for the use of such bags.二、完形填空My story happened in June, 1975.

高三英语下学期第7周周练试题高三全册英语试题

位敦市安定阳光实验学校度下学期周练（第七周）高级英语试卷CWe are often unable to pay close attention to what we hear. But sometimes we try to remember everything a speaker say. We turn into sponges, taking in a speaker’s every word as if every word was equally important. We try to remember all the names, all the dates, and all the places. In the process we often miss the speaker’s main point.Erik Waldman works at a design company. Knowing he had never been good at budgeting his money, he was determined to begin thinking about his economic future. When his employer circulated an e-mail announcing a financial planning seminar, Erik signed up right away.The first period was about retirement planning. Simone Fisher, the lecturer, explained that 7 of 10 Americans between the ages of 22 and 35 do not have a regular savings plan. Erik wrote down every number Simone mentioned.“If you want to have a retirement income equal to 75 percent of your current salary,”Simone continued, “you will need to invest at least of 6 percent of your present earnings, and beyond that you need to consider future inflation rates(通货膨胀率). I will helpyou calculate your individual savings needs soon. In the meantime, I want to stress that the most important thing is to start saving now.”Erik recorded all the statistics Simone used. When she opened the floor for question, Erik raised his hand and said, “I have two question. When is the best time to start saving for retirement ? And how am I supposed to figure out my savings target if I don’tknow what inflation ra tes will be in the future?”This is a typical example of losing the speaker’s point by concentration on details. Erik had fixed his mind on remembering all the statistics in Simone’s presentation, but he blocked out the man message. Rather than trying to remember everything, efficient listeners usually concentrate on main ideas and evidence.28. What does the underlined part “We turn into sponges”in Paragraph 1 mean?A. We sometimes become other persons.B. We often fail to focus our attentionC. We refuse to agree with the speaker.D. We find it difficult to remember key things29. During the first period of the seminar, Erik______.A. focused on the lecture’s detailsB. got Simone Fisher’s main ideaC. showed little interest in the lectureD. knew how to calculate inflation rates30. When hearing Erik’s questions, Simone might think______.A. they were very good questionB. Erik was an excellent partnerC. they had just been discussedD. they were hard to answer31. What do we know about Erik?A. His boss asked him to attend the lectureB. He does badly in managing his moneyC. He has a good memoryD. He is still a studentDScientists said they have found evidence of a giant planet far out in our solar system. In a statement, the California Institute of Technology(Caltech) said this planet travels a strange “highly elongated orbit in the distant solar system”.The discovery was made by two researchers at Caltech; Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. They used mathematical modeling and computer simulations (模拟)to find the planet. So far, there have not been any direct observations of the planet. “My jaw hit the floor,”said astronomer Mike Brown, the moment he realized there might be a ninth planet.The scientists said it would take this planet 10,000to 20,000 years just to make one full orbit around the sun. The new planet,called “Planet Nine”has a mass about 10 times the size of Earth.It is believed that the planet orbits, or travels, around the sun from a great distance. The planet Neptune’s average distance to the sun is about 4.5 billion kilometers. But “Planet Nine”could be 20 times farther away from the sun than that. While they did not get a picture of “Planet Nine”yet, the scientists say they are using the biggest and best telescopes on Earth to try to find it.Brown and Batygin reported their finding in The Astronomical Journal. They say that this new planet is so large that there should be no doubt that it is a true planet, once they confirm it.Robert Massey is with the Royal Astronomical Society in London. He told AFP that planets have been predicted before, and then were not found. But, he said the work of the these researchers is definitely worth following up. “It would be a really exci ting thing to find. At the moment it’s simply a prediction.”32. How was the evidence of the ninth planet found?A. Through a special telescopeB. Through researchers’direct observationC. Through studying its special orbit in the solar systemD. Through mathematical modeling and computer simulations33. What can we know about “Planet Nine”from the text?A. It is much smaller than the earthB. It travels a normal orbit like other planetsC. Its distance to the sun is about 90 billion kilometersD. Its picture has been caught by the biggest and best telescope34. What’s Robert’s attitude towards the discovery of “Planet Nine”?A. WorriedB. SupportiveC. IndifferentD. Opposed35. What’s the best title for the text?A. The discovery of the largest planetB. A big prediction of the solar systemC. A ninth planet may be in the solar systemD. The ninth planet has been found in the solar system第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Secrets to a great lifeA great life doesn’t happen by accident. A great life is the result of allocating your time, energy, thoughts, and hard work towards what you want your life to be. 36A great life is the result of simplifying your life. People often misunderstand what simplify means. It's not a way to remove work from your life. 37 . When you focus on simplifying your life, you free up energy and time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here. In order to create a great life, you will have to make room for it in yours first.A great life is the result of your best effort. 38 It may mean re-evaluating how you spend your time, or choosing to spend your money in a different way. It may mean looking for new ways to spend your energy that coincide with your particular definition of a great life.___39 It's easy to spend your days just responding to the next thing that gets your attention, instead of intentionally using the time, energy and money you have in a way that's important to you. Focus on removing the obstacles that get in the way of you making sure you are doing things of greater significance.A great life is the result of starting. There’s the old saying everyone’s familiar with “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a s ingle step.” In order to even move from the couch to the refrigerator, you have to start. There’s no better time to start than today. 40 Today, right now, is the right day to start to take a step in the direction of your heart’s desires.A. Look around a t someone’s life you admire.B. It’s not a way to remove work from your lifeC. A great life is the result of doing important thingsD. Don’t wait for a raise, or until the kids get older.E. A great life is the result of controlling your thoughts.F. Use these “secrets” to start creating your own great life today!G.

As much as I enjoyed being an educator, I decided to stay at home with our baby -- at least for the first few years. I enjoyed every day we spent together for a year and a half until I found myself pregnant（怀孕）with identical twin girls.After the girls were born, it was the busiest time of my life. Between bottle feeding two, changing three little ones in diapers（尿布）, and getting them to sleep, I was a hot mess. I was so exhausted that showering and washing my hair took too much energy, so I often skipped them. One afternoon when I sat on the couch with my three screaming children, an idea struck me: I had to write this down. All of it. Every experience, feeling, and challenge from the past year and a half. I didn't know how I would find the time to write but I knew I would.And I did. I wrote during nap times, in the evenings, and on weekends when my husband was home and could watch our crew. It started as scattered journal entries and incomplete sentences written down in a notebook or on my laptop. Slowly over months the words formed complete thoughts, then complete paragraphs. Soon, I had made another decision. I wanted to write a memoir（回忆录）in hopes that: it would inspire other women in similar situations. When my book was finally published and drew some attention, I realized how much I loved writing essays that took the reader on a transformative journey, much like my own.The old proverb says"write what you know. " In just a few short years I have , had so much life experience that I have a lot to write about. My daughters are mymuse. The experience of having all three of them has given me the confidence to pursue my dream of writing.I feel I am still teaching, but now instead of through a chalkboard, my words flow through the pages of my books, essays and features. And the only certification I need now, is the one I have — as a mother.（1）How does the author describe her life as a mother of three children?A.Pleasant and interesting.B.Messy and annoying.C.Busy and tiring.D.Amazing and meaningful.（2）Why did the author decide to write a memoir?A.To achieve her writing dream.B.To make a note of her past.C.To help more mothers like her.D.To earn money for her family.（3）What does the underlined word "muse" in paragraph 4 mean!A.Inspiration.B.Target.C.Audience.D.Favorite.（4）What does the author mainly talk about in the text?A.How she brought up her children.B.How she became a successful teacher.C.How her daughters made her a great mother. tD.How her daughters gave her a new career.3.CScientists have recently developed a method to 3D-print greener buildings using local soil that they say has the potential to revolutionise the construction industry.Sarbajit Banerjee, a professor of chemistry and materials science and engineering at Texas A&M University, said 3D printing enabled a versatility（用途）that allowed them to print entire architectural facades（外表）, although getting such structures to meet existing building regulations remained a significant challenge.Concrete remains the primary material used in many construction projects but it cannot be recycled and requires a lot of energy to mix and transport. The research team's aim is to print structures using the type of soil that can be found in any garden." While the widespread use of concrete has widespread access to housing and enabled the growth of cities, this has come at a considerable environmental cost, " said Banerjee."The move to 3D-print concrete threatens to exacerbate this problem. However, we envision（预想）a new example of construction that uses naturally sourced materials. Using such materials will further pave the way for building designs that are specifically adapted to the needs of the local climate.What's more, the use of local materials would reduce the need to transport concrete long distances, further reducing the environmental impact of the buildings.The research team's plan to replace concrete with the earth beneath our fect depends on their ability to improve the soil's capability to stand the weight of the whole house, to which Banerjee said they"are making excellent progress".Once they have a clearer idea of the limits of the technology, Banerjee and his team plan to further investigate how it might allow for building on other planets. For instance, they have worked on addressing the problem of building all-weather roads in the subarctic（亚北极区）. They hope the technology could one day be used beyond Earth, to create settlements on the moon or even Mars.（1）What's the latest development in construction?A.Recycling concrete.B.Reducing the construction cost.C.3D-printing buildings from local soil.D.Changing the construction regulations.（2）What does the underlined word"exacerbate" in paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Address.B.Worsen.C.Relieve.D.Simplify.（3）What is the condition for replacing concrete with the earth?A.The local climate.B.The cost of transportation.C.The environmental footprint.D.The soil's weight-bearing capability.（4）What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The outlook for further studies.B.The explorations of the subarctic.C.The limits of the new technology.D.The barrier to building on other planets.4. Thanks to its cold environment, Antarctica remained largely untouched by humans for thousands of years. However, since the 1990s, the last true wilderness on the planet is becoming an increasingly popular destination for, adventure-seeking tourists. Now, a new study states that the visitors may be leaving behind harmful bacteria（细菌）which could devastate the area's native bird population.Researchers believed that the Antarctic creatures were not affected by the danger due to the continent's extreme weather. However, microbiologist Marta Cerdà-Cuéllar was not convinced this was true. She and some colleagues decided to examine samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human bacteria. To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves. This was no easy task. If they missed catching a skua at first go, the bird never came close again.It took the scientists four years, from 2008—2011, to collect fecal（粪便）samples of 666 adult birds from 24 local species. The results of their study revealed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste. ."While we should do as much as possible to reduce transmission, it' s hard to believe that we will stop tourism and science at these sites, and so it is hard to believe that humans won' t continue to transmit pathogens（病原体）. " said Kyle Elliott. .Experts, including González-Solis, believe the only way to prevent the mass destruction of the birds, is to introduce stricter regulations or, at least, obey the ones already in place. For example, while the Antarctica Treaty states clearly visitors carry their waste back home to protect the original environment, the regulation is rarely obeyed. Hopefully, officials will take steps to protect the easily hurt birds before it' s too late. .（1）What does the underlined word"devastate" in Para. 1 mean? .A.Increase.B.Block.C.Affect.D.Destroy.（2）What can be said about scientists finding the waste from the birds? .A.This was not an easy task. .B.This proved their conclusion. .C.Their tempers contributed a lot. .D.They found polluted human bacteria. .（3）How does Kyle Elliott feel when mentioning reducing tourism? .A.Hopeless.B.Difficult.C.Impossible.D.Delighted. .（4）What is the author' s suggestion to protect Antarctica birds? .A.Make new strict rules. .B.Take measures as soon as possible. .C.Quit the Antarctica Treaty.D.Encourage officials to strengthen cooperation. .二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
