2019-2020学年南安市国光中学高三英语上学期期中试题及答案
2019-2020学年南安市国光中学高三英语上学期期中试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ALast summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work inMinneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted. “Hey. I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I was really hoping to get a haircut.” Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his hair immediately. After the work was done, the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.Up to now, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts around the city to people with little influence, and she is strongly aware of the power of her cleanup job.As a teen, she suffered from a severe disease, causing her hair to get thinned, so her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own barbershop so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology (美容术) school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets. Her aim was that by doing some kind acts, others would be inspired to spread their own.“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely peoplelooked,” she said. “I thought maybe I’d go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.”1. How does the writer begin the passage?A. By making a comparison.B. By giving a reason.C. By raising a question.D. By describing a scene.2. What made Stellar start the Red Chair Project?A. Her mother’s love for her.B. Her interest in cosmetology.C. Her care for those in need.D. Her wish to fight severe diseases.3. What did Stellar expect from the project?A. To spread kindness.B. To solve social problems.C. To deal with relationships.D. To make people look smarter.BWe use what is known as inner speech, where we talk to ourselves, to evaluate situations and make decisions. Now, a robot has been trained to speak aloud its inner decision-making process, giving us a view of how it responds to contradictory demands.Arianna Pipitone and Antonio Chella at the University of Palermo, Italy, programmed a humanoid robot named Pepper, with software that models human cognitive(认知的)processes, which allowed Pepper to retrieve (检索)relevant information from its memory and find the correct way to act based on human commands, as well as a text — to — speech processor. It allowed Pepper to voice its decision-making process while completing a task, "With inner speech, we can better understand what the robot wants to do and what its plan is," says Chella.The researchers asked Pepper to set a dinner table according to etiquette (礼仪)rules they had programmed into the robot. Inner speech was either enabled or disabled to see how it affected Pepper's ability to do what was instructed.When instructed to place a napkin on a fork with its inner speech enabled, Pepper asked itself what the etiquette required and concluded that this request went against the rules it had been given. It then asked the researchers if putting the napkin on the fork was the correct action. When told it was, Pepper said, "OK, I prefer to follow your desire," and explained how it was going to place the napkin on the fork.When asked to do the same task with inner speech disabled, Pepper knew this contradicted etiquette rules, so it didn't perform the task or explain why.With the potential for robots to become more common in the future, this type of programming could help the public understand their abilities and limitations, says Sarah Sebo at theUniversityofChicago. "It maintains people's trust and enables cooperation and interactions between humans and robots," she says. However, this experiment only used a single human participant, says Sebo. "It's unclear how their approach would compare across a wide range of human participants," she says.4. Why does the author mention how people make decisions in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic.B. To make comparisons.C. To provide an example.D. To support his argument.5. How did Pepper react to the contradictory instruction with its inner speech enabled?A. It failed to complete the task.B. It followed the etiquette rules.C. It made a random decision.D. It communicated with the researchers.6. What did Sarah Sebo think of the research?A. It was creative but worthless.B. It was a good try but the result was a failure.C. It was inspiring but needed further evidence.D. It was carefully designed but poorly performed.7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Robot Taught To Be PoliteB. Robot Can Explain Its DecisionC. Robot Making Decisions: No Longer A DreamD. Robot-Human Communication: No Longer A ProblemCThe relationship between humans and the Amazon Rainforest has not always been a harmonious one. However, recent research suggests that the native peoples ofthe Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. Perhaps humans’ coexisting with nature is possible after all.The study, published in PNAS, looked at soil samples in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land. The researchers found that the trees still growing in the region today have been growing there for the last 5,000 years — evidence that the area has not been home to cities and farmland in that time. Traces of charcoal(木炭) found in the, soil, however, indicate that people did live there; they just did so in a way that had minimum influence on their environment.To come to these conclusions the team dug a 0.6-0.9 meter deep column into the ground, taking samples of soilfrom different heights along the column. Back in the lab, samples were carbon- dated to determine their age and then sorted under a microscope to look for microscopic mineral particles, known as phytoliths (植硅体). Phytoliths are essential evidence of plants— they remained in the soil thousands of years after the plant died. So researchers can use them to tell which plants have grown in an area in the past.Over 5,000 years’ worth of samples, no species loss was detected. These findings suggest that contrary to common belief, the Amazon is not untouched by humans, but rather has been protected by them for thousands of years. The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversityand will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from acollapse.As Nigel Pitman, a co-author on the paper, said: “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.”8. How did native peoples deal with the rainforest in the region of Putumayo?A. They always destroyed the rainforest.B. They had a side effect on the rainforest.C. They never lived in the area of the forest.D. They had been in harmony with the forest.9. What did the researchers try to find in the Amazon forest in Peru?A. The diversity of the plants in the rainforest.B. The evidence of human influence on the forest.C. The nutrition of the soil samples in the rainforest.D. The survival age of growing trees in the rainforest.10. What does the underlined word “collapse” mean in Paragraph 4?A. Sudden decrease.B. Bad management.C. Poor preservation.D. Over development.11. What can be inferred from Nigel Pitman's words?A. Native peoples should protectthe rainforest.B. We should help protect the Amazon Rainforest.C. More science research should be done on rainforest.D We should make good use of the Amazon Rainforest.DBritish anthropologists (人类学家) Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham, after studying the results of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games, conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win.Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other, colour has no effect on the result. However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enoughtipthe balance. The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males — the ones who are more successful with females — have a brighter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell, another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches, Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from theUniversityofGlasgowsay that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, andhis colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?12. According to their research. Hill and Barton conclude that ________.A. the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport eventsB. red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sportsC. red plays a role when competitors are equally capableD. athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red13. The underlined word “tip” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A. achieveB. advanceC. keepD. change14. The example of the blue footed booby proves that ________.A. male birds use different body parts to draw attentionB. red is not the only colour to attract female birdsC. blue gives female birds the same advantageD. blue can indicate how healthy a bird is15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The colour red gives male animals the most advantage.B. Male zebra finches prefer to have red plastic rings on their legs.C. Rules on sports clothing are going to be changed.D. Athletes wearing red may have an advantage over their opponents.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Yoga is becoming part of your spiritual life．CYou may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally or finding your car towed away（拖走）after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of minutes．But now a high-tech car sticker that's designed to be stuck to a car's windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation．The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic policeman，to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars immediately．Frankfurt-based IT consultant，Daniel Kalliontzis，came up with the idea and is raising money to put his￡43sticker into production．Car owners can put the sticker inside their car's windscreen，having set it up with key information，such as their phone number．The slim design will include a sensor （传感器）that，when touched by a traffic policeman，will send a text message warning a driver of a possible fine．The driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smartphone，which will appear on the sticker's screen．The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in a way，a German law．The law states：an officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle．It could be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car．Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used in the UK in a similar way．A spokesman said，"In England there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticket．However，a policeman does have the discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesn't think the situation is that bad or he just wants to issue a warning．"So far，Mr．Kalliontzis has raised just over￡2，362of his￡39，381goal．If he manages to raise the money，the stickers will be shipped in June 2015．But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages，because anyone could touch the smart sticker．22.The author wrote the third paragraph to ______ ．A. explain how a smart car sticker worksB. advise drivers to buy a car stickerC. show the importance of a sensorD. tell drivers how to park a car23.We may infer from the text that in Britain ______ ．A. car owners don't have to worry about a parking ticketB. smart car stickers wouldn't work as well as in GermanyC. traffic policemen prefer to call a driver rather than tow his carD. the Department of Transport thinks highly of smart car stickers24.The underlined word"discretion"in Paragraph 5can best be replaced by" ______ "．A. troubleB. pressureC. freedomD. opportunity25.What would be the best title for the text？ ______A. Daniel Kalliontzis-a great inventorB. Environment-friendly car stickersC. Parking systems in EuropeD. End of the parking ticket？DIn a certain store where they sell puddings，a number of these delicious things are laid out in a row during the Christmas season．Here you may select the one which is most to your taste，and you are even allowed to sample them before coming to a decision．I have often wondered whether some people，who had no intention of making a purchase，would take advantage of this privilege．One day I asked this question of the shop girl，and I learned it wasindeed the case．"Now there's one old gentleman，for instance，"she told me，"he comes here almost every week and samples each one of the puddings，though he never buys anything，and I suspect he never will．I remember him from last year and the year before that，too．Well，let him come if he wants it，and welcome to it．And what's more，I hope there are a lot more stores where he can go and get his share．He looks as if he needed it all right，and I suppose they can afford it．" She was still speaking when an elderly gentleman limped up to the counter and began looking closely at the row of puddings with great interest．"Why，that's the very gentleman I've been telling you about，"whispered the shop girl．"Just watch him now．"And then turning to him："Would you like to sample them，sir？Here's a spoon for you to use．"The elderly gentleman，who was poorly but neatly dressed，accepted the spoon and began eagerly to sample one after another of the puddings，only breaking off occasionally to wipe his red eyes with a large torn handkerchief．"This is quite good"．"This is not bad either，but a little too heavy"．All the time it was quite evident that he sincerely believed that he might eventually buy one of these puddings，and I am positive that he did not for a moment feel that he was in any way cheating the store．Poor old chap!Probably he had come down in the world and this sampling was all that was left him from the time when he could afford to come and select his favorite pudding．Amidst the crowd of happy，prosperous looking Christmas shoppers，the little black figure of the old man seemed pitiful and out of place，and in a burst of benevolence，I went up to him and said："Pardon me，sir，will you do me a favor？Let me purchase you one of these puddings．Itwould give me such pleasure．"He jumped back as if he had been stung，and the blood rushed into his wrinkled face．"Excuse me，"he said，with more dignity than I would have thought possible considering his appearance，"I do not believe I have the pleasure of knowing you．Undoubtedly you have mistaken me for someone else．"And with a quick decision he turned to the shop girl and said in a loud voice，"Kindly pack me up this one here．I will take it with me．"He pointed at one of the largest and most expensive of the puddings．The girl took down the pudding from its stand and started to make a parcel of it，While he pulled out a worn little black pocketbook and began counting out shillings and pennies on to the counter．To save his"honor"，he had been forced into a purchase which he could not possibly afford．How I longed for the power to unsay my tactless words!It was too late though，and I felt that the kindest thing I could do now would be walk away．"You pay at the desk，"the shop girl was telling him，but he did not seem to understand and kept trying to put the coins into her hand．And that was the last I saw or heard of the old man．Now he can never go there to sample puddings and more．26.By saying it was indeed the case．，the author meant that ______ ．A. many shoppers would sample pudding before buying themB. some people just sampled pudding but didn't buy themC. the Christmas season was the time to promote pudding sales．D. there were various kinds of puddings on sale during the Christmas sale．27.From the girl's words，we know that she ______A. felt pity for the old manB. looked down upon the old manC. thought poorly of sampling puddingD. worked in the shop for a few months28.The old man finally bought a pudding because ______A. he had intended to buy the puddingB. the author gave him some moneyC. he was annoyed by the author's offerD. the shop girl asked him to purchase one29.Why did the author feel that he should walk away according to the passage？ ______A. He had something urgent to doB. He was quite angry with the old manC. He decided to pay the money for the puddingD. He found himself in a rather awkward way30.What does the passage imply？ ______A.

61．答案是B．句意理解题．由第二段中的"I have often wondered whether some people，who had no intention of making a purchase，would take advantage of this privilege"可知作者想知道是不是有人不想购买这些布丁，他们只是品尝而已；联系下文，作者询问店员得到答案：情况确实是这样；故B选项正确．62．答案是A．推理判断题．由第二段中的"let him come if he wants it，and welcome to it．And what's more，I hope there are a lot more stores where he can go and get his share．He looks as if he needed it all right，and I suppose they can afford it"可知，这个女店员认为如果老人需要这些布丁，欢迎他品尝；她还希望老人在别的店里也能得到自己所需要的．故可推知，这位店员对老人充满同情．A选项切题．63．答案是C．推理判断题．由倒数第三和第四段中的"He jumped back as if he had been stung，and the blood rushed into his wrinkled face…with more dignity than I would have thought possible considering his appearance"可知，作者的话让老人感到自己的尊严受到了侮辱，他非常生气，所以决定要买下布丁．故C选项切题．64．答案是D．细节理解题．由倒数第二段中的"To save his"honor"，he had been forced into a purchase which he could not possibly afford．How I longed for the power to unsay my tactless words!It was too late though，and I felt that the kindest thing I could do now would be walk away"可知，作者的行为迫使一位老人去购买自己买不起的东西．作者为自己的行为感到后悔莫及，感到尴尬难堪．所以作者认为自己能做的事情就是赶紧走开．D 选项切题．65．答案是A．推理判断题；由文章可知，作者本来想帮助老人，可是因为方式不当，伤害了老人的尊严．由此可以推知，帮助别人，不仅仅是要在经济上帮助他，而且还要考虑到对方的尊严．要尊重对方．故A选项正确．本文为夹叙夹议类议论文；文章介绍了在一家商店，顾客决定买布丁之前可以先品尝；作者想知道是不是有人不想购买这些布丁，他们只是品尝而已；事实上有一位贫穷的老人就是如此；作者想帮助老人，为老人买布丁；但是作者的话却让老人感到自己的尊严受到了侮辱；迫使老人去购买自己买不起的东西．文章意在说明，帮助别人时还要考虑到对方的尊严．阅读要整体理解文章．在做细节题时根据题干定位细节，在语境中正确理解原句，然后对照选项做出合理的判断；必要的时候要进行推理，透过句子表面看作者的真正意图．如果是主旨大意的判断要把握文章整体，避免以偏概全．37~40. 36-40．BGACE36题答案：B 考查细节推理根据前面的 Do you know how to recognize the signs that someone is lying to you？（你知道如何看出人们在对你撒谎的迹象吗？）可知本题答案为B选项"一下是一些简单的方法来帮助你识别撒谎者并且逮住谎言"．37题答案：G 考查细节推理，根据前面的"Some people try to

AMy 23-year-old car was unsafe and I decided it was time to trade it for a less old one. I found myself then at a local used car lot looking at a 12-year-old car. There was no way for me to afford a new car, but this one seemed in fine shape. I made the deal and drove it home.It wasn’t long, however, before I noticed a squealing (振鸣声). I made an appointment at a local repair factory. The heat of the day made me turn on the air conditioner but no cold air came out. This made me worry more. I wondered if I’d made a big mista ke.When I arrived at the repair factory, I sat in the waiting room. The warmth and beauty of the day was too good to ignore. I walked outside. Walking around the parked cars, I noticed some beautiful flowers. As I looked down at them, a single white butterfly flew down and landed on them. Butterflies had for years held a special place in my heart. They always reminded me of my mother and her love for me. I smiled when I saw this one and felt in my heart peace and joy I hadn’t felt for a long time. I realiz ed then that while the repairers were making a few minor repairs on my car, God was making a few minor repairs on my soul.Life is too short to allow fear and worry to rule our days. We’re here on earth to love each other and we’re reminded of this in countless ways every day. My “new” car is running now and I’m doing my best to keep my soul doing the same. May you always keep your own soul open to whatever minor repairs you meet with in life.21. Why was the author worried?A. He was unable to afford a new car.B. His “new” car couldn’t be used again.C. Repairing would cost him much money.D. Something was wrong with his “new” car.22. What made the author walk out of the waiting room?A. The long and boring wait.B. The white butterfly.C. The good weather.D. Beautiful flowers.23. What is the best title for the text?A. A few minor repairsB. The power of natureC. The way to repair your soulD. Happy memories of my momBWith the ever-increasing popularity of online shopping, users’ reviews are becomin g more and more important. Given that you can’t actually touch, see, smell or hear the product you’re buying online, these reviews provide buyers valuable information on the product itself. But how far can you trust them?Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant e xperience. “I took some friends to a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent review on a food website. However, the service was awful and we were ignored most of the time. Later, I wrote a review to the same site only to be told that the review site owner would not accept any bad reviews—only the good ones.So, how can you get a useful review? Web expert Hilary Saunders has a few top tips. “If there are only a few reviews of a place, there is a good chance they have been planted by friends or enemies. If there are many reviews, start by dropping the most extreme comments. Also, watch out for similarities in style between reviews from people with different usernames, particularly if those reviews were placed about the same time. The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.Some companies seem to be contributing to the problem. A publishing house offered gift vouchers(礼券) to anyone who would give their textbook a five-star review. But not all on line companies operate like this. “Amazon works hard to keep the completeness of its customer reviews,” said a spokesperson for the company. “We have very clear guidelines, and when a customer reports a review that they feel is inappropriate, we check, and may take it down.So, next time you see that 5-star review for something you want to buy, be aware—it could be the work of a false reviewer!24. What does “them” in Para.1 refer to?A. Products.B. Users.C. Reviews.D. Buyers.25. What does Barnaby Bicken’s story imply?A. The food served was awful.B.He likes to write bad reviews.C. Many people are easily cheated.D. Not all reviews are believable.26. How does Amazon deal with the customer reviews?A. Tries to make the reviews objective.B. Pays attention to the bad reviews.C. Offers gifts for the good reviews.D. Helps to finish the reviews.CGarbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drive for sustainable growth, local media reported.The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they're responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation, "Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal," said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30) for trash-sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others-and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported.
