2024届甘肃省张掖市某校高三下学期第三次模拟英语试卷
2024届甘肃省张掖市某校高三下学期第三次模拟英语试卷一、阅读理解What is a GPA?A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programs.How to calculate a GPA?● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term;● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system;● Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course;● Add up all the credit hours for the courses;● Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA．What are the consequences of failing college courses?● Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organizations and program choices, as competitive programs require top GPAs.● Most financial aid programs require a specific GPA．A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may lead to withdrawal from financial aid programs, unless you retake the coursesand pass.● For college athletes on sports scholarships, failing courses repeatedly can lead to losing scholarships and team sports.● Failing multiple courses can result in school removal and affect future applications. 1．Where is this text probably taken from?A．An academic course guide.B．A campus job fair poster.C．A graduate application form.D．An athletic team schedule.2．What is Jane Smith’s GPA this term?A．3.3.B．3.0.C．2.8.D．1.0.3．What would be a result if you get one F in college?A．School removal.B．Loss of financial aid.C．Choice limitation.D．Disqualification in sports.Chaudhary weaves (编织) together lengths of rope and grass collected from the nearby riverbank in her village, skillfully shaping the materials into a gift box while instructing a group of women to follow suit.The ropes being used were once the lifeline for mountain climbers tackling Nepal’s mountains and were then cast away. Diverse measures to remove such discarded materials have rocketed since 2019, when the government launched Clean Mountain Campaign.Around 140,000 tons of waste were collected on Mt. Everest alone, which were handled accordingly, either securely buried or recycled.Some waste is now finding fresh life, transformed by skilled hands like Chaudhary’s into items to sell, thanks to an initiative led by Acharya, an owner of a waste processing business and an advocate for sustainable waste management. She has been working with the cleaning campaign, aiming at mountains like Mt. Everest.“Metal waste goes through the recycling process, but we weren’t capable of recycling these ropes and cooking gas cans,” Acharya says. It didn’t occur to her that the waste which couldn’t be recycled could be reused until she met Rai at an art exhibition and a solution emerged.Rai, a businessman dealing in craftworks, helped connect Acharya with Chaudhary and her team of craftswomen in hopes of unlocking the economic value of the mountain waste. Withflexible hours, the project gives the craftswomen an opportunity to earn money even as they maintain their household responsibilities.“While this seems insignificant compared to waste in the mountains, it’s a start. We can’t supply sufficient raw material with waste sorting and cleaning processes taking plenty of time and money,” Acharya says, desperate to expand the program to involve more women and treat more waste. But progress has been slow. “We need investment to mechanize the cleaning and processing of waste in the initial phase to provide the crafting team with enough materials to meet their demand,” she adds.4．What were the ropes mentioned in paragraph 2 initially intended as?A．Tools for tying up weeds.B．Villagers’ basic necessities of life.C．Raw materials tor unique artworks.D．Life-saving devices for mountaineers. 5．What inspired Acharya’s resolution of non-recyclable waste?A．A journey to the rural area.B．An encounter with a trader.C．Information from a product launch.D．Attendance at an academic conference. 6．What does Acharya expect to do based on the last paragraph?A．Train more senior technicians.B．Obtain a better reputation.C．Drop waste washing procedures.D．Bring in advanced equipment.7．What is the best title for the text?A．Chaudhary: An Eco-Minded Folk ArtistB．Nepali Women Are Turning Garbage into CraftsC．Clean Mountain Campaign Has Already Taken EffectD．A Headache: Mt. Everest Is Heavily Littered with WasteQuiet Parks International (QPI) have got every reason to award Quiet Trail to the Niobrara National Scenic River this year, making it the other Quiet Trail in the world after Cuifeng Lake Trail, Taiwan. Kalli Kieborz, Director of Niobrara Council, received the award for their assistance in managing and protecting its natural resources, including natural quiet, since 1997.This Award concluded a two-year process that included exploring the full length of the river to collect qualitative and quantitative acoustic (听觉的) data. Gordon Hempton, cofounder of QPI, stated, “Our testing process is very exact. Beyond collecting standard acoustic data, each teammember must agree unhesitatingly that natural quiet existed throughout the testing period. The river’s splendid geologic landscape, unusual atmospheric conditions and outstanding wildlife all contributed to a positive outcome.”The Niobrara River is notable for its beauty, ecological importance, and recreational appeal in the northern Great Plains, U.S.. Six major ecosystems meet in the Niobrara National Scenic River valley, resulting in a special mix of more than 160 plant and animal species. “It is filled with unique, even one-of-a-kind opportunities for the curious and adventurous visitors,” said John Ricks, Nebraska Tourism director.“97% of the U.S. population faces noise pollution from sources like flights and highways. In fact, the more quiet we have, the more we can see and hear about the world, so we are thrilled to be able to offer it at Niobrara National Scenic River. From a quiet starry night to peaceful natural escapes, it uncovers what cannot be enjoyed in many other places,” stated Susan Cook, another director.Areas like the Niobrara National Scenic River offer an opportunity to showcase quiet, unspoiled areas in a noisy world. Today, as people’s life is overloaded with noise, the intentional seeking-out of quiet areas is on the rise and with it, the opportunity to engage new travelers in visiting the beautiful, yet still largely hidden treasure of the wild.8．Which of the following best describes the testing process?A．Flexible.B．Reliable.C．Simple.D．Loose.9．What is a consequence of ecosystems meeting in the valley?A．Ecology imbalance.B．Biodiversity enrichment.C．Species competition.D．Tourism boost.10．What does Susan Cook highlight in paragraph 4?A．The joy of winning the award.B．The outcome of noise pollution.C．The activities of enjoying quiet.D．The value of natural quiet.11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To call on efforts to reconnect with nature.B．To inform the recognition of a quiet river.C．To display the challenges of protecting ecosystem.D．To stress the need to escape busyness of modern life.One day I typed into ChatGPT all about my upset feelings and it instantly responded, offering a list of practical advice. Nowadays millions of people are already turning to ChatGPT and specialist therapy (治疗) chatbots for convenient and inexpensive mental health support.Some experts say this is a boon. After all, AI, undisturbed by embarrassment and burnout, might be able to express empathy (同理心) more openly and tirelessly than humans. But others worry about the consequences of people seeking emotional support from machines that can only pretend to care. Some even wonder if the rise of so-called empathetic AI might change the way we interact with one another. Indeed, empathy is one of our species’ defining qualities, developing as it did in pace with social interaction.One recent analysis about empathy looked at 52 studies published between 1980 and 2019, which shows that the empathiser must first be able to recognize how the other person is feeling. They must also be affected by those emotions and differentiate between themselves and the other person, grasping that the other person’s feelings aren’t their own while still being able to imagine their experience.On the first point, in recent years, AI-powered chatbots have made progress in their ability to read human emotions, most powered by large language models (LLMs) that work by predicting which words are most likely to appear together based on training data. In this way, LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identify our feelings and respond appropriately most of the time. But when it comes to the other criteria, AI still misses the mark in many ways. Empathy is interpersonal, with continued feedback helping to perfect the empathiser’s response, which also requires some degree of intuitive (直觉的) awareness of an individual and their situation.All of this helps to explain conversations like the ones I had with ChatGPT. At the end of the day, despite talking to multiple chatbots online, I did what I knew I had to do all along: I picked up my phone and called a friend.12．What does the underlined word “boon” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Trap.B．Prize.C．Blessing.D．Challenge. 13．What does the recent analysis show about empathy?A．It calls for clear communication.B．It starts with emotion identification.C．It rules out individual difference.D．It depends on rich imagination.14．What can AI do according to paragraph 4?A．Provide data-driven feedback.B．Recognize one’s real desire.C．Update large language models.D．Predict one’s behavior by intuition. 15．What does the author think of ChatGPT?A．Its development should be sped up.B．Its intelligence is winning more favor.C．Its application should be strictly managed.D．Its artificial kindness is no match for humans’.Having dragged everything I owned halfway across the country, I reached my university a complete fresher. 16 Noisy and busy, it felt somewhat overwhelming. Soon I realized everyone was just as anxious about the idea or starting the next chapter in life. But I wouldn’t exchange my university experience for anything. The only thing I wished I had done is a proper exploration in advance of the maddening first day. So I hope to share something you should know before your arrival at university. 17The first point I’d like to make is that you’re in charge of your degree. Outside of your scheduled lectures, you’re the one who determines whether to carry on studying or to spend the rest of your day relaxing. 18 Are you going to be the student starting their assignment weeks beforehand, or the one pulling an all-nighter before a 10 am deadline?Multiplicity is everywhere. University is where you ‘ll meet people from all over the world. Our eyes begin to widen to distinctive cultures, values, and morals around us. 19 So, whoever is there can fit in.Remember going to university isn’t just about studying, but you have to learn to balance your work and life. Every university has sports teams, societies and voluntary activities to get involved with. Every university has a Students’ Union, where your voice comes in. 20 Some universities even offer job opportunities in bars, shops and food outlets.Bothersome as your early university life may be, it’ll be incredible once you find your feet. A．I’d done zero research about it.B．Every choice made is up to you.C．Why not make up for your lost youth?D．Every university is both inclusive and diverse.E．It may ease you into a most significant change of life.F．And your feedback can positively affect your university.G．I had carried out an in-depth study of multiple universities.二、完形填空When the three women spotted an abandoned property in Providence, USA, they agreed this polluted parcel of land held 21 .

And he was always respectful of the other students' perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile-and he left with one too. "These students gave me the confidence that I didn't need to feel bad about my age, " Valencia says. One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class. Sure, I said. But he wouldn't get any credit. No problem he said. Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles-a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class. A lot of Valencia's classmates apparently knew he couldn't afford that semester's tuition but was still doing the homework. "Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,"says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master's degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college., so he had a long way to go. There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia's determination to get a four-year degree and then a master's. At his current pace, he'll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn't seem especially relevant. He's found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating. Valencia's grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts（成绩单）. But I'm giving him an A-and in the most important ways, it counts.(1) What made Valencia different from his classmates?A. He was respectful to the teacher.B. He activated the class atmosphere.C. He was eager to learn despite his age.D. He often put forward different opinions.(2) According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes?A. He treasured the chance of learning.B. He wished to show his determination.C. He needed the credits to further his study.D. He desired to have an A on his transcripts.(3) Which of the following best describes Valencia?A. Modest and independent.B. Energetic and generous.C. Enthusiastic and motivated.D. Considerate and intelligent.(4) What can we learn from the passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. It is never too old to learn.C. Strike the iron while it is hot.D. Where there is life, there is hope.5、 C A heavy feeling on the chest. A throat that's leaden. An overwhelming feeling of isolation. Loneliness hurts-and, over time, it can put the body into a state that increases our risk of everything from heart attack and stroke to diabetes and cancer. So, evolutionarily speaking, why do we experience it? Stephanie Cacioppo, a neuroscientist at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, says that countless studies have helped researchers formulate a holistic（全面的）purpose for loneliness. "Our social structures evolved hand in hand with neural, hormonal and genetic mechanisms to support these social structures-like couples, tribes and communities-that help us survive and reproduce, " says Cacioppo. Because while loneliness may be painful to experience today, for our prehistoric ancestors that pain would have been a far better alternative to being caught alone with a predator on theprowl（潜行）. Being social had its downsides even back then-competition for food, for example, or contribution to the spread of pathogens（病原）. But scientists think we evolved to feel loneliness because it was more important to work with one another to accomplish tasks and to protect everyone. "The pain of loneliness prompted us to renew the social structure so we could survive and promote key features like trust. cooperation and collective action, explains Cacioppo. For years, researchers thought of loneliness as a disease. But now, they're realizing that it's more of a biological hunger signal that reminds us when it's time to reconnect with those around us to promote our short-term survival. If the outcomes of loneliness were entirely negative, it would no longer be a part of our DNA. Hunger and thirst protect our physical body while loneliness protects our social body." says Сacioppo. Loneliness impacts us all differently. Some of us may find certain situations lonely even while others don't. There's also a genetic component: Some of us are born to feel lonelier than others. Other factors play a role, too. The way we were treated as children can also inform how lonely we feel as adults. Lonely people spend most of their time deep within their own imaginations; they may conceptualize social encounters so much, in fact, that this part of their brain is in overdrive. That means even though they may be desperate to form connections, when they're around other people, they're actually less likely to be present.(1) As for loneliness, which would the author agree with?A. It can lead to serious mental problems in adulthood.B. It holds potential risks and disadvantages to individuals.C. It may reflect a person's strong desire to have social bonds.D. It is perceived in the same way as it is demonstrated by our DNA.(2) Scientists believe that loneliness is ___.A. beneficial but riskyB. painful but necessaryC. natural and powerfulD. personal and harmful(3) Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Humans evolved to be lonely.B. Loneliness is a curable disease.C. Loneliness is a personal feeling.D. Humans need to address loneliness.6、 D A video circulated on social media earlier this year, showing a tourist opening the door of a vehicle, reaching out an arm and attempting to stroke a passing lioness. The lioness shrugged him off, but it could have easily gone horribly wrong. Reckless behaviour around wildlife risks the safety of both people and animals. People risk being attacked, mauled （撕咬） and possibly killed, while animals can be harmed, removed or put down. irrespective of whether they were only defending themselves. Animal attacks can also cast a destination in a negative light, causing temporary closures or scaring off visitors. All just so someone could boast that they had stroked a lion or captured a moment on a camera phone. "Tourists are getting more and more reckless around wildlife and the source of the problem is social media." says wildlife photographer Anette Mosshachers. "People risking their lives or doing stupid things with wildlife are after "likes' and followers something to show off on social media, " says Mossbacher. "The greater the risk, the more "likes" they get. With some clients, it seems like a sickness or addiction." Yet social media is not entirely to blame. People have always taken risks for an experience. Foolish behavior and a tendency to get cockyaround dangerous animals must have been around since the dawn of humanity. A hunger for attention online might drive some of the current madness, but some individuals might be trying to recreate a piece of the action they have seen on television. Perhaps the adrenaline （肾上腺激素） rush when close to wild animals causes an evaporation of common sense. "There's a worrying lack of awareness that animals several times our size, weight, speed and strength can easily hurt us, "says wildlife photographer David Lloyd. "I don't think parks are doing enough to raise awareness. Tourists need to know how their presence can affect wildlife. A good example is cheetahs （猎豹） on vehicle rooftops. It may be a thrill for the bystanders, but theconsequences if a mother cheetah falls off would be severe. She would no longer be able to hunt, so her cubs could easily starve." "People aren't getting the education about why they need to stay away from wildlife, including avoiding diseases, keeping people secure and letting wildlife be wild, " says Philip Muruthi, vice president of species conservation and science for the African Wildlife Foundation. "We need to educate tourists through signs, pamphlets and frontline drivers. We should stick to guidelines, and there needs to be enforcement through the law."(1) What can we learn about reckless behaviour around wildlife?A. It harms tourists more than animals.B. It enables tourists to get intimate with animals.C. It may bring more profits to a tourist destination.D. It may get animals killed for defending themselves.(2) As for Mossbacher's opinion on what drives people's reckless behavior, the author is ___.A. sympatheticB. disapprovingC. doubtfulD. indifferent(3) What does the underlined word"cocky" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Selfish.B. Frightened.C. Arrogant.D. Shocked.(4) What can we conclude from the passage?A. Parks are expected to take more responsibilities for educating tourists.B. Raising tourists' awareness means stressing the danger of animals to them.C. More regulation of the tourist industry is the key to raising tourists' awareness.D. Penalties rather than education can stop people taking silly risks around wildlife.四、七选五7、 How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself? Things may not always go as planned. 1 Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. 2 They can also be anything else that's useful, such as information, advice or your own experience. It also means trusting your instincts, the ability you're born with, rather than through training and being confident about your ability to face challenges. A resourceful person is not the one getting cross or panicking when something goes wrong. They're thinking about how to solve the problem.3 When we learn to solve problems for ourselves rather than immediately going to others for help, it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions. Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.4 This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself. When you're facing a challenge, try to focus on the actual problem rather than how you feel about it. Think about where and when it happened and what the causes are. Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can. 5 Finally, review what has and hasn't worked, so you're equipped to deal with a situation next time. And remember, no one is expected to solve all problems by themselves. If you have a tricky problem that you're unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help.(1)A. You also learn what you're good at.B. Here is how you can be more resourceful.C. They can be practical things like pens and paper.D. Resourcefulness is a skill that's good for you in lots of ways.E. These may be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.F. Weigh up what's good and bad about each one and choose the best.G. But being resourceful can help you stay calm and deal with tricky situations.(2)A. You also learn what you're good at.B. Here is how you can be more resourceful.C. They can be practical things like pens and paper.D. Resourcefulness is a skill that's good for you in lots of ways.E. These may be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.F.

These may be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.F. Weigh up what's good and bad about each one and choose the best.G. But being resourceful can help you stay calm and deal with tricky situations.五、书面表达8、 For years, psychologists have known how to measure the intelligence of individuals, but only recently have they begun to investigate the issue of group intelligence. This notion stems from the observation that some groups seem to work fantastically across tasks, even tasks that are not very similar. Early investigations suggest that group intelligence is not the sum of the intelligence of the individuals in it. Sc what is the secret to their success? Researchers at Google have tackled this question. They collected thousands of data points on hundreds of groups and combed through them trying to find patterns. Are the members of effective groups friends outside of work? Do groups whose members have similar personalities or backgrounds work together best? They put forward many theories but found no patters to support them. In fact, who was in the group apparently did not seem to make a difference; instead, the difference between more and less effective groups seemed to lie in the interaction among the members. In effective groups, members spoke for a roughly equal amount of time-not at every meeting or interaction, but across the course of a project. Additionally, in effective groups, members face one another directly when they speak, using energetic and enthusiastic gestures. Moreover, side conversations between individual members during meetings, far from being a distraction, actually increased the group's productivity. The positive behaviors uncovered in the study occur exclusively in face-to-face interaction. One might argue that most of these findings are extremely obvious, and needless to say, good managers have probably always understood the principles. However, understanding group intelligence can help business and other organizations make the fundamental changes necessary to improve group performance. The reason is that our social and professional lives are not always structured in ways that facilitate the kind of interaction that apparently underlines effective group performance.(1) What is the finding of previous studies on group intelligence?(2) Why is it important for people to understand group intelligence?(3) Decide which part of the following statement is wrong. Underline it and explain why.Although side conversations distract members during meetings, they can help to boost the group's efficiency.(4) Apart from what is mentioned in the passage, what other way (s) can we use to improve group intelligence?

AI wondered if anyone had experienced such an unexpected trip as I had.The day of my holiday arrived, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. I had little money and had only been able to afford to stay with my Aunt Rosa in Spain. So, I wasn’t really excited as I knew exactly what it was going to be like: lots of noisy cousins, and Aunt Rosa begging me to take her for a ride.After I had checked in, I made my way slowly to the departure gate. As I was waiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten you r seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight back to London for a week, the airline had no choice but to pay for our stay.英语试卷第3页(共14页) 英语试卷第4页(共14页)So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and the marvelous food of Jamaica!

Medical workers on board collect blood from volunteers. The blood is then stored up and given to people who have lost a large amount of it due to accidents or diseases.Blood is one of the most important substances (物质) supporting our lives. But for now, the only way we can get more of it is through donation. And donated blood has its own problems. First of all, certain blood types are extremely rare. T ype O negative blood (O-), for example, only exists in 7 percent of people, according to Sunday Times. There are fewer donors and therefore there isn’t enough of this type of blood for everybody英语试卷第5页(共14页) 英语试卷第6页(共14页)who needs it. In addition, donated blood comes from various people, which means that it has to be examined carefully for disease such as hepatitis (肝炎) and HIV to make sure that it’s safe for transfusion.This is why scientists all over the world have been trying to make blood in labs. And now , someone finally succeeded —Marc T urner at the Scottish National Blood T ransfusion Service has produced blood fit for transfusion, reported Forbes.Unlike many other scientists, who have tried to make blood substitutes by mixing up different ingredients together, T urner chose to grow blood directly from human stem cells (干细胞). He developed a special technique to create a chemical environment similar to that in our bone marrow (骨髓). This environment encourages stem cells to develop fully into red blood cell.According to T urner, his version of artificial blood is unlikely to contain disease viruses or produce side effects. And the best part is that what he managed to produce was type O- blood.

Those 95 years were remarkable.At the age of seven, he entered a local school, where he was given the name “Nelson”, after Admiral Horatio Nelson of the Royal Navy, by a teacher who had difficulty in pronouncing his African name.

In 1942 Mandela entered politics by joining the African National Congress (ANC), South Africa's major liberation movement and today the country's ruling party.

The 1950s turned out to be a time of hardship and suffering for Mandela--he was banned, arrested and imprisoned.While in prison, Mandela studied by correspondence with the University of London, earning a Bachelor of Law degree.
