湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第三次月考英语试题

湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第三次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Cannes(戛纳)is a place that offers lots of different ways to spoil yourself. During the Cannes Film Festival in May, nothing changes, except that there are more people doing this, and that they talk about film. Here’s a guide to what you should do during the festival, both film-related and not.Hotel Intercontinental CarltonThe film festival is a busy time for Cannes. The best way to appreciate the crowds might be having a dinner on a terrace(露天平台). Head to the Hotel Intercontinental Carlton and wander the lobby to take it all in. If you’re lucky you might be able to secure a table in the restaurant. Dress to impress or you won’t stand a chance of getting in.Cinema de la PlageThroughout the Cannes Film Festival, one of the best places to soak up some of the wonderful atmosphere is the open-air Cinema de la Plage at Mace beach. If you haven’t secured a ticket in advance for a seat, there’s no need to worry. You can spread a blanket out on the ground, open up your pre-prepared picnic, and enjoy the movie.Marché ForvilleThe Marché Forville is a must-see for any visitor to Cannes and a foodie’.s delight. On most days, vendors sell home-made fruits and vegetables as well as local specialties to eat for lunch. But don’t go on Mondays, unless you want to browse for bargains, as that’s when the flea market is on instead.La CroisetteLa Croisette is the most famous walk in Cannes and is listed under the cultural inventory of France itself. Stroll the whole length, stop for a coffee, and end your walk by sitting on one of the free blue chairs along the way while taking in the view. It is also a great place to admire Cannes’ sculptures.1.What is probably the intention of the text?A.To introduce French culture.B.To present dining locations.C.To publicize a film festival.D.To suggest tourism activities.2.Which place best suits people who enjoy shopping?A.Hotel Intercontinental Carlton.B.Cinema de la Plage.C.Marché Forville.D.La Croisette.3.What can be expected in Cannes during the festival?A.Attending fashion shows.B.Watching movies outdoors.C.Tasting imported farm produce.D.Experiencing sculpture production.Coming into the freshman year at Paul College, Sansa was concerned about her ability as an individual to make an impact on such a large community, for it was never hard for her to stand out from peers in high school. Luckily, each first-year student in Paul College takes part in what is called the First-year Innovation and Research Experience, commonly referred to as the FIRE Program, an extracurricular project assigned by the institution. She was able to forge invaluable connections with her fellow students and their peer advisor who had so much first-hand experience with what they all were going through.The biggest highlight of her freshman year was working alongside her FIRE team on a Grand Challenge Project, in which every FIRE team competed against one another in the Undergraduate Research Conference. Each team had to create a unique product that tackled one of the five following real-world problems: “Water is Life”, “Food”, “Threats from Cyberspace”, “Medical Breakthroughs”, and “Addictive Society”. Her team addressed the growing issue of “Addictive Society”. Doing research, collecting facts and organizing discussions or even debates were a huge amount of work before they went to vie with other teams.After weeks of tireless preparation, their collective efforts bore fruit at the Undergraduate Research Conference. They earned a spot in the final round of the conference, where they competed against the top team from each of the other Grand Challenge groups. They were so overcome with pride when they were finally announced as the overall first-place team at the college!If it hadn’t been for her group’s determination, excellent teamwork and their awesome peer advisor Hayley, they would not have been able to accomplish everything they did. This experience would be instrumental in her future.4.What do we know about Sansa from paragraph 1?A.She performed quite well in high school.B.She was much more experienced than her college schoolmates.C.She applied for the FIRE Program.D.She had trouble with her freshman year.5.How did each team compete against one another?A.By providing facts.B.By creating products.C.By organizing debates.D.By challenging each other.6.What does the underlined phrase “vie with” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Contest against.B.Give way to.C.Break up with.D.Make up with.7.What is probably Sansa’s biggest gain from the FIRE Program?A.Financial benefits.B.Academic reputation.C.Good relationships.D.Competitive opponents.When Jason Allen submitted his “Th éâtre D’.opéra Spatial” into the Colorado StateFair’s fine arts competition, the print was an immediate hit, defeating 20 other artists in the “digitally manipulated photography” category to win the first-place blue ribbon and a $ 300 prize.Allen’s piece offers a clear example of how rapidly AI-generated art has advanced. Trained on billions of internet images, the systems have decisively pushed the boundaries of what computers can create.But it has also sparked a massive debate over the meaning of art, with Allen facing accusations that he had been deceiving with something he asked a machine to create.Text-to-image tools like DALL-E 2 and Midjourney have quickly increased in sophistication and have become one of the hottest topics in AI. They can generate not just fake people, objects and locations but mimic entire visual styles.But AI-generated art has been criticized as automated plagiarism (剽窃), because it relies on millions of ingested art pieces that are then parroted (机械地重复) together. It has also fueled deeper fears: blurring the boundaries of reality or interfering with human art.Allen said his art piece shows people need to “get past their denial and fear” of a technology that could give rise to new inventions and reshape our world. “The AI,” he said,“is a tool, just like the paintbrush is a tool. Without the person, there is no creative force.”Jessica Hair, a 25-year-old receptionist at a doctor’s office who won third place in the competition, said she did not feel as if Allen had acted unfairly and had no hard feelings about his win.Hair said her “Judge, Jury, Executioner”, which depicts a tuxedoed skeleton on a golden throne surrounded by skulls, took 15 hours to create with a stylus (触屏笔) on an iPad Pro. But Allen’s piece took time, effort and subjective judgment, too, and “how do we qualify what is and isn’t art?” she said.8.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the text?A.It is the first time in history that an AI-generated work has won an arts competition.B.Advances made in computer art are not as rapid as the public believes them to be.C.Computer-produced works have more success in some art forms than in others.D.People’s acceptance of computer-produced art pieces can vary considerably. 9.According to the text, why is AI-generated art facing severe criticism?A.Because it will ultimately overtake human art in the future.B.Because it will lead to a sharp decrease in human creativity.C.Because it purely uses existing art pieces as its subject matter.D.Because the technical standard of its output is extremely low.10.What was Allen’s reaction to people’s criticism?A.He fought back like a soldier.B.He kept silent like a victim.C.He persuaded like a promoter.D.He lost heart like a failure.11.What is Jessica Hair’s attitude towards Allen’s award-winning piece?A.Supportive.B.Critical.C.Cautious.D.Skeptical.The streets, sidewalks and roofs of cities all absorb heat during the day, making some urban areas across the United States up to 6 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than rural ones during the day—and 22 degrees F hotter at night. These “urban heat islands”can also develop underground as the city heat spreads downward, beneath the surface. And basements, subway tunnels and other underground infrastructure also constantly bleed heat into the surrounding earth, creating hotspots. Now the underground heat is building up as the planet warms.According to a new study of downtown Chicago, underground hotspots may threaten the very same structures that emit the heat in the first place. Such temperature changes make the ground around them expand and contract (收缩) enough to cause potential damage. “Without anyone realizing it, the city of Chicago’s downtown was deforming,” says the study’s author Alessandro F. Rotta Loria, a civil and environmental engineer at Northwestern University.The findings, published in Communications Engineering, expose a “silent hazard (危险)” to civil infrastructure in cities with soft er ground — especially those near water — Rotta Loria says. “There might have been structural issues caused by this underground climate change that happened, and we didn’t even realize,” he adds. While not an immediate or direct danger to human lives, this previously unknown effect highlights the impacts of a lesser-known component of climate change.Similar to climate change above the surface, these underground changes occur over long periods of time. “These effects took decades, a century, to develop,” Rotta Loria says, adding that elevated underground temperatures would likewise take a long time to dissipate (逐渐消失) on their own.But other researchers interviewed for this story all say this wasted energy could also be recycled, presenting an opportunity to both cool the subsurface and save on energy costs. Subway tunnels and basements could be updated with technologies to recapture the heat. For example, water pipes could be installed to run through underground hotspots and pick up some of the heat energy.12.What can we learn about the “urban heat islands”?A.They can develop underground structures.B.They are impacted by global warming.C.They can destroy the ground around.D.They only exist in the United States.13.Why does Alessandro F. Rotta Loria mention “silent hazard” in paragraph 3?A.To discuss structural issues.B.To categorize climate change.C.To explain underground heat.D.To emphasize the neglected reality.14.What will the author probably write about in the paragraph that follows?A.The future of tunnels and basements.B.The reusing approaches of heat energy.C.The cost of maintaining structures.D.The evolution of underground environment.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Warming Underground, Weakening SurfaceB.A Silver Lining of Global WarmingC.Urban Silent Islands in the MakingD.A Silent Crisis in Downtown Chicago二、七选五Including children in the farming lifestyle has many benefits. Sure, it is nice to have the additional help with chores, but it also fosters so much growth, sending our kids down a good path towards who they will someday become. It is possible that our children will grow up to lead lives that do not include farming. 16Through caring for farm animals, kids learn that in life others often come before self.17 It doesn’t matter if we don’t feel like it or if we are sick and tired. What matters is that we take care of the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner.18 If the work on a farm does not get done, the operation fails. It takes discipline and commitment to get down to business every day, and seeing this in action will give kids a good work attitude. They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy and that they have to work to survive. 19 Functioning as part of a productive team will surely be playing a crucial role sooner or later in all walks of life.Additionally, farming teaches patience. 20 It’s especially true for the animals. Cattle will be difficult to control. Horses will run away when you try to catch them. Goats will kick over that bucket of hard-earned milk. A rooster will decide you got too close to his hens and give you a run for your money. In spite of all that, kids will learn to be patient and take things easy.There may not be any instant reward, but in the long-term kids will see the benefit of all their efforts during those hard days.A.Fairly often, things do not go your way.B.Kids also learn to be grateful to animals.C.In the meantime, they learn to work with others.D.Teamwork is no longer a significant skill to develop and use.E.Animals need to be fed and cared for before we get to sit down and relax.F.Kids are also able to comprehend the value of hard work through farm life.G.What they learn on a farm, however, can be instrumental in their future lives.三、完形填空27.A.could B.should C.would D.might 28.A.also B.again C.only D.instead 29.A.responded B.claimed C.updated D.expressed 30.A.odd B.general C.novel D.complicated 31.A.closed B.black C.plain D.blank 32.A.lesson B.blame C.curse D.ban 33.A.open B.click C.use D.function 34.A.refreshing B.crashing C.connecting D.running 35.A.advocate B.tolerate C.appreciate D.understand四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

高三上学期第三次月考(英语)试题含答案

高三上学期第三次月考(英语)(考试总分:135 分)一、阅读理解(本题共计4小题,总分30分)1.(6分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIt is a fact that most people live their lives unremarked by history. Whether by design or by accident, there are some pioneers whose achievements changed the course of history but whose names are unknown to us.James HarrisonJames Harrison has saved the lives of over two million people by donating his blood l,173 times, a Guinness world record. His blood produces a rare antibody which cures the otherwise deadly Rhesus disease in unborn children. It has also been used in the development of a medicine anti-D, which will cure the Rhesus disease in children forever.Lewis LatimerAfter helping Alexander Graham Bell obtain his patent for the telephone, Lewis Latimer patented a carbon filament (碳灯丝) , which allowed light bulbs to burn for hours before burning out, much more useful than that invented by Thomas Edison. Latimer went on to invent many other useful devices, including a device which cooled and cleaned patients’ rooms in hospitals.Maurice HillemanNot all achievements require bravery and self-sacrifice. Take Maurice Hilleman for example. He found another way to change the world. He developed the mumps vaccine after his daughter got the illness. And he didn’t stop there. In total, he has single-handedly developed over 40 vaccines, including eight commonly given to children. His work has saved millions of lives and prevented serious consequences due to the diseases.Nils BohlinIn 1959 Nils Bohlin patented a revolutionary design that has saved millions of lives — thethree-point safety belt. After the initial resistance from drivers who hated being told what to do, and even for their own good, the three-point belt has become a standard feature in new cars around the world.1. Whose invention made it possible for light bulbs to burn for long before burning out?A. Thomas Edison’s.B. Alexander Graham Bell’s.C. Lewis Latimer’s.D. Nils Bohlin’s.2. What's the similarity between James Harrison and Maurice Hilleman?A. They both broke a Guinness world record.B. They both had spirits of bravery and self-sacrifice.C. They devoted themselves to work because of family members.D. Their contributions saved the lives of many children.3. What was drivers’ initial attitude to the three-point seat belt?A. They were content with it.B. They refused to use it.C. They accepted it calmly.D. They got excited about it.2.(8分)BThey hide in trees, hang from helicopters, even follow people down on motorcycles—all so that they can snap a shot of a celebrity. They are paparazzi—photographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.This September, California, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimed at taking action against paparazzi. The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-tech devices to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently following in order to take a picture.” Violators can be fined or spend time in prison. The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. Opponents (反反反) say the law restricts photojournalists from doing their job.Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at awardshows or other events. After all, it’s free publicity. But when they’re not in public, they say, photographers should leave them alone. Yet paparazzi have been known to secretly look in windows and worse. Actor Michael J. Fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son.”Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. Supporters further argue that the California law is a fair way to keep the press at bay, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. It only punishes them, supporters say, when they violate celebrities’ privacy.Opponents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution (反反反反反反反反反), which guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press.”Although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the California law does not single out paparazzi. It applies to photographers working for any publication.Opponents of the law are also concerned about its wording. “Does ‘persistently’ mean following someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?” asked lawyer Douglas Mirell. The wording of the law is too vague, critics complain, and could be used to punish almost any news photographer.The United States needs a free press to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. Limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all.4. Which of the following will be considered illegal by the new California law?A. Paparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a shot.B. Paparazzi taking photos of famous people with high-tech cameras.C. Paparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation.D. Paparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.5. Supporters of the new law believe that ________.A. it prevents the media from getting worseB. it gives photographers a fair way to competeC. punishment forces paparazzi to quit their jobD. privacy of famous people needs special protection6. Opponents of the new law are concerned that _________.A. it will violate paparazzi’s privacyB. the First Amendment will be changedC. some photographers will be wrongly accusedD. people will not be informed of the latest news7. What is the author’s attitude towards the new California law?A. Critical.B. Neutral.C. Approving.D. Skeptical.3.(8分)CA California man and his family went from rags to riches after discovering that the blanket given to him by his grandmother was worth a small fortune. Loren Krylzer was living in a small hut and hardly getting by on his disability payments. One day, he happened to be watching Antiques Roadshow on TV when he learned that the forgotten old blanket in his closet might be valuable. The blanket turned out to be an antique (古老的) Navajo weaving from the 19th century that fetched US$1.5 million at auction (拍卖会).Krytzer's blanket was prized for much more than its antiquity. Among Native American tribes, the Navajo are recognized as the most skillful weavers of blankets and rugs. The weaving style is characterized by vivid, varied patterns and exceptional durability. From shearing the sheep, spinning, preparing, and dyeing the wool to the actual weaving process, it takes around 345 hours to create one blanket.Women traditionally wove Navajo blankets while men built the weaving devices. To this day, Navajo people still make high quality blankets and rugs to sell. They believe that, since only God is perfect, their creations should have some imperfection. Another Navajo belief is that their souls are sewn into every weaving, so they purposely include a hidden loose thread into each piece. This ensures that it isn't too perfect, and their souls can still escape into the afterlife.The Krylzers also had a loose thread on their road to riches that allowed them to escape the trap of financial ruin. In an unfortunate twist, the family’s life-changing windfall came with a huge tax bill from the government and a lot of imploring relatives. After taking a family vacation in Mexico, buying a new sports car and a couple of real estate purchases,Krytzer lost his disability payments and now gets big bills for property taxes and insurance instead. Ironically, the family decided to move to a less expensive state to save money.8. How did the Krytzer family go from rags to riches?A. A family member purchased a winning lottery ticket.B. Loren was invited to have an interview on a TV show.C. Loren’s disability payments were unexpectedly increased.D. Loren auctioned off a blanket his grandmother gave him.9. A loose thread woven in a Navajo blanket indicates that_____.A. God’s creation is also imperfectB. people can escape some horrible situationsC. its owner is sure to have an everlasting lifeD. the blanket is really made by hand10.

To ensure that the results were not compromised by foreign language words that subjects may have had some contact with at some point in their waking lives, researchers made up totally nonexistent foreign words.When the subjects woke up, they were presented with the made-up words again withouttheir translations. The subjects were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word indicated an object that was either smaller or larger. This vague(模糊的)way of testing their understanding of the words is an approach that is supposed to tap into the unconscious memory.Unbelievably, the subjects were able to correctly classify the words in this way at an accuracy rate that was 10 percent higher than random chance. That’s not a rate high enough to have them suddenly communicating in a foreign tongue, but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still absorbing information on some level, even during sleep.Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory, but previously its role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation and organization of memories acquired during wakefulness. This is the first time that memory formation has been shown to be active during sleep.In other words, our brains are listening to the world, and learning about it, even when our conscious selves are not present.The next step for researchers will be to see if new information can be learned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep. If so, it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new things. Sleep learning might become a widespread practice.12. Why did researchers use some made-up words in the study?A. To guarantee the accuracy of the test result.B. To increase the difficulty of testing information.C. To avoid the subjects cheating in the experiment.D. To test if our brain are good at learning something new.13. What were the subjects asked to do in the study?A. Classify what they heard by size.B. Make up a word to represent“large”or“small”.C. Repeat the words they heard in the sleep.D. Imagine the meanings of the made-up words.14. What conclusion did researchers draw from this study?A. Sleep is necessary for a good memory.B. Memory formation goes on during sleep.C. Listening during sleep is good for our brain.D. Learning languages in sleep has better effects.15. What will be the researchers’ next plan?A. To train people how to learn during sleep.B. To prove the existence of unconscious memory.C. To dig out the reason for unconscious learning.D. To study the effect of sleep learning on conscious learning.二、阅读七选五(本题共计1小题,总分10分)5.(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。
