2021-2022学年浙江省9+1高中联盟高三(上)期中英语试卷(附详解)
2021-2022学年浙江省9+1高中联盟高三(上)期中英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,共25.0分)AMy parents immigrated to the U.S.from Guangdong,a province in southern China.Thejobs they found in hot kitchens and clothing factories came with long hours,leaving them no time to learn English.So I spent most of my childhood,in Brooklyn,speakingCantonese,the only language my parents understand.But as I continued my education,I gradually,or deliberately avoided using Cantonese.And as a result,Cantonese avoidedme.As it slips from my memory,I also lose my ability to communicate with myparents.For years I have to rely on translation apps and online dictionaries for most of our conversations.Actually,we speak on the phone only once a week and the conversations are much thesame:"Have you eaten yet?" my father asks in Cantonese.Long pause. "No,not yet.You?" I reply. "Why not?It's so late," my mother cuts in.Long pause. "Remember to drinkmore water and wear a mask outside," she continues. "OK.You too. "Longest pause."We'll stop bothering you,then." At age thirty-two,I feel like someone they know instead of their daughter.On my mom's sixty-fourth birthday,at the peak of the pandemic,I became increasinglyaware of the limited amount of time together.Did I really want to spend the rest of ourlives with a language barrier between us?I made it a goal to relearnCantonese,and,ultimately,rebuild the relationship with my parents.I take Cantoneseclasses.I watch Wong Kar-wai movies.I repeat Maggie Cheung's words over and overuntil I get the tones just right.But,most of all,I call my parents and try to have moremeaningful conversations with them,no matter how challenging it gets.Though Cantonese no longer feels natural for me to speak,it will always be my first language-even if it takesa lifetime for us to know each other.1.How does the author relearn Cantonese?______A. By asking her parents to teach her.B. By using translation apps and dictionaries.C. By reading Maggie Cheung's books.D. By taking classes and watching movies.2.What is the problem with the author and her parents?______A. They find nothing to communicate.B. They speak different languages.C. They grew up in different cultures.D. They know little about each other.3.What can we learn from the author's experience?______A. Language matters in communication.B. Never forget your first language.C. It's never too late to learn a language.D. Call your parents before it's too late.BWould you like to spend a year pretending to live on Mars in a 1,700-square-foot space shared with three other people?If that's your idea of a dream job,you can thank your lucky stars,because NASA is hiring.The agency is seeking applicants for what it calls a "one-year mission in a habitat tosimulate (模拟)life on a distant world. "NASA plans to observe humans in a Mars-like situation on Earth so it can study the challenges that might occur during a future mission to the red planet.Grace Douglas,the lead scientist for NASA's Advanced Food Technology research effort at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston,says the simulated mission will benefitfuture missions that actually go to space. "Simulations on Earth will help us understand and counter the physical and mental challenges astronauts will face before they go."Douglas says.NASA is looking for four crew members who will live and work for a year in a 3D-printed,1,700-square-foot module called Mars Dune Alpha,based at NASA's Johnson Space Center.According to NASA,the crew might perform tasks such as simulatedspacewalks,using virtual reality and robotic controls,exchanging communications and conducting other studies.The posting calls for healthy and motivated U.S.citizens between the ages of 30 and 55 years old,plus a STEM master's degree or sufficient experience piloting an aircraft.It won't necessarily be an easy task,though.NASA warns that the crew will experience simulated problems like those humans might face on Mars,including resourcelimitations,equipment failure,communication delays and other environmental stressors.In exchange,selected crew members will help bring humans one step closer to reaching Mars.4.What can we learn from the passage?______A. Three more astronauts are needed.B. The one-year mission is far from easy.C. Whoever is crazy about space will get an offer.D. A STEM master's degree is a must for application.5.Why does NASA hire these crew members?______A. To test how their aircraft works.B. To work as astronauts on Mars.C. To observe human reactions on Mars.D. To experiment with possible challenges on Mars.6.What can be a suitable title for the text?______A. Life of the Four Applicants on MarsB. Applicants Wanted for the Future on MarsC. The Obstacles Candidates Will Face on MarsD. The Great Significance of Space TechnologyCFor many people,working from home,or 'WFH',has also come to mean 'WFB'-working from bed.Getting dressed and going to an office has been replaced by splashing water on your face and switching on a computer as you settle back under your blanket.People may have a desk or a kitchen table to place their computer on-they just choose not to.But the reality is that turning your bed into your office can set off a large number of health problems,both psychological and physical.And even if you don't notice them now,adverse effects-possibly permanent-could appear later on in life.Young people areparticularly likely to fall victim to these bad habits,because they may not feel theconsequences right away,which could include simple headaches,and could also extend topermanent stiffness in your back,and severe pain in the bones.When you work from bed for a year,it doesn't just potentially ruin your body.It's possibly bad for your productivity and sleep habits,too.Rachel Salas,a sleep expert at JohnsHopkins University in Maryland,explained that "the more you watch TV in bed,play video games in bed and not sleep in bed,your brain starts learning,'oh,OK,we can do any one of these activities in bed'.It starts building connections."So,when you spread out on your bed your laptop,phone and all the screens your jobrequires every day,your brain and body eventually stop associating bed with rest. "You're really training your brain to be alert,and telling it this is where your ideas come and this is where the work is done," adds Salas. "When you're trying to go to sleep,your brain is like-'wait a minute,what are we doing?This is work time'." Doing this for a year,or any extended period of time,could lead to circadian rhythm disorder (昼夜节律紊乱).And disturbed nights,body pain or both mean that you're less likely to be productive,creative or focused,making it likely your work could suffer.7.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "adverse" in paragraph 2?______A. Beneficial.B. Harmful.C. Temporary.D. Ever-lasting.8.What do we know about the health problems caused by working from bed?______A. Young people are less likely to suffer from them.B. They can be permanent and can be easily noticed.C. Young people might notice them later on in their life.D. They only appear when you work from bed for a year.9.What does Rachel Salas say about working from bed?______A. It trains your brain to be more alert and creative.B. It makes you sleepy and easily distracted from work.C. It's better than watching TV or playing games in bed.D. It makes your brain connect bed with work rather than rest.10.What is this passage mainly about?______A. Beds are not the perfect working sites.B. Your productivity suffers from working from home.C. Working from bed could ruin both your health and work.D. Turning your bed into your office has become a new trend.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)"Plastic friendly sentiments" is also known as "plastic friendship".This term originated from two videos of the interview on March,2017 of the Singapore's BY2 band formed by Miko and Yumi.As twin sisters,two of them make jokes and bitterly attack each other. (1) Plastic flower,though it looks beautiful and never dries up nor dies,and sometimes can almost look real,is after all artificial. (2) "Plastic friendly sentiments" is comparatively common among girls.There are "plastic sisters," "plastic bosom friends",etc.They may look very close and thick with each other.However,they may talk one way and thinkanother or say what they do not think.And they do that sometimes just to save face,and sometimes just for their own interest.They appear to keep pace with each other. (3) They may fall out or even turn aggressive all of a sudden.There is a common saying:"Three females are enough to put up a drama." Some girls seem to tell lies in socialinteraction.They deal with each other politely but without sincerity.(4) On the surface boys convince the other party that they will even risk their own lives fortheir friends.But in fact they may give friends a stab (刺)from behind instead.Such affection may look good,but it is a waste of one's energy dealing with such a friend.(5) For example,someone might joke that between him and me exists only "plasticfriendly sentiments",to show rather the closeness of each other.A.It has no fragrance,let alone soul.B.They last longer than genuine flowers.C.But their real affection may have turned sour.D."Plastic friendly sentiments" is also used to refer to boys.E.Many people now use the term to show the nature of their friendship.F.Thus,netizens call their friendship "plastic affection between sisters."G.However, "plastic friendly sentiments" is sometimes used as a kind of joke.11.

AIn 1985,a little Italian plumber(水管工)became the face of video games,and changed the way we play them. "Super Mario Bros" saw the main characters in the game, Mario and Luigi, jump around the Mushroom Kingdom, collect coins and rush to save a princess from a bad turtle. The content was different from the simple gameplay of Snake or Pac-Man,where the aim was to eat and stay alive.Mario originated as a carpenter in the 1981 game "Donkey Kong",which was advanced for its time. with retro(复旧)sound effects as Mario moved on challenging platforms. "At the time,video games were usually created by computer engineers, as opposed to today's artists,"said Shigeru Miyamoto,game designer and producer of the "Super Mario Bros" and "Donkey Kong".

DBIn four years, the space agency plans to land the first woman ever on the Moon through its Artemis program, which calls for $28 billion in funding through 2025' for Stage I, NASA said in its news release. Artemis is named after the Greek goddess of the moon and twin sister of Apollo. NASA's Apollo 11 mission succeeded in landing the first 12 men on the moon on July 20, 1969.One billion dollars of the budget will go directly to the development of a commercial human lunar system that will take humans to the moon's surface, NASA' said. A share of $651 million will be used to support the Orion Spacecraft and the rocket for the moon mission—called the Space Launch System or SLS.NASA has already spent at least $11.9 billion on the SLS, which was supposed to be ready by December 2017. The spacecraft is complete, NASA said, and the main stage and four attached rockets are undergoing final tests in preparation for a "critical hotfire test this fall."NASA's Artemis I mission is on track to launch in 2021 with two test flights around the Moon without astronauts. However, NASA will send robots to the Moon twice in 2021 in order to "send dozens of new science investigations and technology demonstrations".Artemis II is set to launch in 2023 with astronauts on board in preparation to have Artemis III bring astronauts back to the surface of the Moon. The astronauts will be fitted with modern spacesuits that allow for greater flexibility and movement than the spacesuits used by other Apollo-era astronauts, and they will be tasked with collecting samples and conducting a range of science experiments over the course of nearly seven days.The Artemis program will search for and potentially explore resources' such as water that can be turned into other usable resources such as oxygen and fuel, and NASA hopes to develop new 'mobility capabilities that will allow astronauts to explore new regions of the Moon.25.

Service was as essential a part of my upbringing as eating and sleeping and going to school. The church was a center of Black children's social existence,and Black adults were buffers(缓冲)against the segregated(种族隔离的)outside world that told us weweren't important. But our parents said it wasn't so.We couldn't play in public playgrounds or sit at drugstore lunch counters and order a Coke, so Daddy built a playground and canteen behind the church. There were no Black homes for the aged in Bennettsville, so he began one across the street for which he and Mama and we children cooked and served. And we children learned that it was our responsibility to take care of elderly family members and neighbors.We learned early what our parents and extended community “parents” valued. Children weretaught-not by teaching, but by personal example-that no kindness, however small, was ever wasted. I remember a debate my parents had when I was eight or nine as to whether I was too young to go to help clean the bed of a very sick, poor woman. I went and learned just how much the smallest helping hands could mean to a person in need.The adults in our community made children feel valued and important. They struggled to find ways to keep us busy. And while life was often hard and resources scarce, we always knew who we were and that the measure of our worth was inside our heads and hearts. We were told that the world had a lot of problems, that Black people had an extra lot of problems, but that we ought to and were able to struggle and change them, that being poor was no excuse for not achieving, and that we had the responsibility of sharing with the less fortunate.28. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Service was very important.B. Church was where blacks could stay.C. Blacks were not as important as others.D. Black adults were protectors against the outside world.29. Why did the author mention the example of the poor woman in paragraph 3?A. To call on others to help the woman.B. To prove children learn by personal exampleC. To stress the influence of parents on children.D. To indicate even the smallest good deed counts30. Black children learned from their parents that .A. they had to struggle and shareB. they had little chance of successC. they were too young to help others.D. they caused extra problems to the world【答案】28.

A2020-2021年浙江省杭州市西湖区学军中学高三上学期期中英语试题真题AAt one point in June last year, Zeng Jiapeng was more than 10,000 yuan in debt to a smart phone app. The 23-year-old Shanghai citizen pays for his online purchases of food, clothes, and travel with Huabei, a virtual credit card that's part of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s spreading stable of e-commerce. His spending often used to go beyond his only source of income: the 8,000-yuan monthly allowance from his parents. He tried to repay the debt in installments(分期), even borrowing from Jiebei, another Alibaba-owned credit service, but eventually his mother and father had to help him out.Zeng’s story is typical of members of China’ Generation Z. These young consumers, born from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, have little income and therefore actually no credit history. Yet they have easy access to credit from an assortment of banks, financial-tech companies, and peer-to-peer (P2P) Lenders(网络借贷平台), plus other channels that are unregulated. The spending habits of the young in particular are causing concern. In some cases the younger generation is being tempted to overconsume via credit secured through technology. Unsecured consumer lending has expanded 20% a year in China since 2008. The amount of consumer finance available through the Internet will more than double, to 19 trillion yuan, by 2021, from 7.8 trillion yuan last year. Official data showed that almost 70% of China’s 50 million P2P borrowers were younger than 40.As for Zeng, he’s trying to be a little more frugal, even though he is now trying to earn a little by himself. “I deliberately set the credit limit at a lower level,” he says, “so that hopefully I can better match my income with spending.”Regulators(监管部门)last year launched a breakdown on peer-to-peer lending, which, besides being a source of easy credit, had also become a popular investment vehicle. The sector has shrunk to less than half its peak size asa result of forced shutdowns.1. What can we learn about Zeng Jiapeng from the first paragraph?A. He was in debt because he bought smart phone app.B. He likes purchasing goods on the app Huabei of Alibaba Group.C. He always spent more than he earned from his salary in the past.D. He depended on his parents to support him to repay his debt.2. What does the underlined word “frugal” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. ImpracticalB. HardworkingC. Avoiding wasteD. Relying on others3. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Overconsumption-A Bad HabitB. China’s Generation Z-Hooked On CreditC. Chinese Youth In the E-commerce AgeD. Zeng Jinpeng’s Financial Crisis【答案】1. D 2. C 3. BBAt the World Economic Forum last month, President Trump drew claps when he announced the United States would respond to the forum's proposal to plant one trillion(万亿) trees to fight climate change. The trillion-tree idea won wide attention last summer after a study published in the journal Science concluded that planting so many trees was “the most effective climate change solution to date”.If only it were true. But it isn't. Planting trees would slow down the planet's warming, but the only thing that will save us and future generations from paying a huge price in dollars, lives and damage to nature is rapid and considerable reductions in carbon release from fossil fuels, to net zero by 2050.Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion(偏离). Worse still, it takes attention away from those responsible for the carbon release that are pushing us toward disaster. For example, in the Netherlands, you can pay Shell an additional 1 euro cent for each liter of regular gasoline you put in your tank, to plant trees to balance the carbon release from your driving. That's clearly no more than disaster slightly delayed. The only way to stop this planet from overheating is through political, economic, technological and social solutions that end the use of fossil fuels.There is no way that planting trees, even across a global area the size of the United States, can absorb the huge amounts of fossil carbon released from industrial societies. Trees do take up carbon from the atmosphere as they grow. But this uptake merely replaces carbon lost when forests were cleared in the first place, usually long ago..Regrowing forests where they once grew can undo some damage done in the past, but even a trillion trees can't store enough carbon to head off dramatic climate changes this century.In a sharp counter argument to last summer's Paper in Science, Justin Gillis wrote in the same journal in October that the study's findings were inconsistent with the dynamics of the global carbon cycle. He warned that “the claim that global tree restoration(复原) is our most effective climate solution is simply scientifically incorrect and dangerously misleading”.4. What do we know about the trillion-tree idea?A It was published in a journal.B. It was proposed last summer.C. It was put forward by Trump.D. It drew lots of public attention.5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. A drawback of the tree planting strategy.B. An example of balancing carbon release.C. An anecdote of making a purchase at Shell.D. A responsibility for politicians and economists.6. What was Justin Gillis's attitude towards global tree restoration?A. Indifferent.B. Opposed.C. Hesitant.D. Supportive.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Contradictory Ideas on Tree Planting.B. A Trillion Trees Come to the Rescue.C. Planting Trees Won't Save the World.D. The Best Solution to Climate Change.【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. CCArtists always treat businessmen as money-obsessed bores. Or worse, many businessmen, for their part,assume that artists usually consider themselves to be more intelligent than others. Bosses may stick a few modern paintings on their office walls. But they seldom take the arts seriously as a source of inspiration.The prejudice starts at business school, where “hard” things such as numbers rule. It is reinforced by everyday experience. Bosses constantly remind their employees that if you can’t count it, it doesn’t count. Few read deeply about the arts. Sun Tzu’s The Art of War does not count while some tasteless business books are pleasing to them: consider Wess Roberts’ Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun.But lately there are welcome signs of a thaw (缓和) on the business side of the great cultural divide. Business presses are publishing a series of books such as The Fine Art of Success by Jamie Anderson. Business schools such as the Roman School of Management at the University of Toronto are trying to learn from the arts.Mr. Anderson points out that many artists have also been superb businessmen. Damien Hirst has been one of the most enterprising. He upturned the art world by selling his work directly through Sotheby’s, an auction (拍卖) house. Whatever they think of his work, businessmen cannot help admiring a man who parted art lovers from £ 75.5 million on the day that Lehman Brothers collapsed.Studying the arts can help businessmen communicate more effectively. Most bosses spend a huge amount of time “messaging” and “reaching out”, yet few are good at it.Studying the arts can also help companies learn how to manage bright people. Rob Goffee of the London Business School points out that today’s most productive companies are dominated by what they call “clevers”, who are very hard to manage. They hate being told what to do by mangers, whom they regard as being stupid. They refuse to submit to performance reviews. In short, they are prima donnas. The art world has centuries of experience in managing such difficult people. Directors persuade actresses to cooperate with actors they hate. Their tips might be worth hearing.8. What kind of person is Damien Hirst actually?A. An artist whose works changed the art world.B. A businessman who just cares about money.C. An artist who is good at doing business.D. A businessman who had prejudice toward the arts.9. The underlined words “prima donnas” probably refer to those who are ________.A. quite stupidB. rather proudC. really brightD. very efficient10. What does the author mainly discuss in the text?A. Good management takes skill and patience.B. Artists should show respect for businessmen.C. Painting is a special form of communication.D. Businessmen have much to learn from artists.【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D2020-2021年浙江省9+1联盟高三上学期期中英语试题真题阅读下列短文,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。
