He raised his sad eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies (百合花) on the surface of a clear calm lake. Then he cast them on the earth, where few more hopeless people than himself moved towards their certain goal—the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets.The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he remembered the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads—one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poisonous snakes hissed and crawled.He saw a star fall from the sky and disappear, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were honored and happy on this New Year's night. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he let out a cry, “Come back, my early days! Come back！”And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year's night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.As for those who still remain at the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years have passed and your feet fall on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain, “Oh you th, return! Oh give me back my early days！”24．What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refer to?A．The lilies. B．The stars.C．The people. D．The eyes.25．What do we know about his friends from Paragraph 3?A．They had also made many mistakes.B．They kept in close touch with him.C．They had made major achievements.D．They looked down on him.26．What can we say for sure about the young man's father from the passage?A．His father died.B．His father lived far away.C．His father returned home.D．His father gave him two choices.27．What does the writer want to remind the readers in the last paragraph?A．It's no use crying for help.B．It's vital to value your childhood.C．They should not wait to choose the right way.D．They should be careful at the entrance of life.CHaving an older brother or sister comes with plenty of benefits. Big brothers and sisters tend to look out for their younger siblings, and despite the occasional rocky moments, many siblings have lifelong close relationships. However, a new study finds the interesting downside: children with older brothers take longer when it comes to developing language skills.The study, conducted by a group of researchers in Paris, France, builds on the earlier research that had already established that having older siblings is associated with poor linguistic(语言的) development. Now, researchers say they have come to a more specific conclusion: only children with older brothers exhibit these linguistic difficulties.One would assume that children with older brothers would grow up around more conversation on a daily basis, thus speeding up their language development. Yet researchers say such children actually take longer than their older brothers to begin developing these skills.Researchers studied more than 1,000 children from their birth to the age of five and a half years old. Each child's language skills were tested at ages 2, 3, and 5.5, using tests specially designed to measure numerous aspects of language development such as vocabulary, syntax (句法), and verbal reasoning.What the research team discovered was significant: children with older brothers had, on average, a two-month delay in their language development compared to children with older sisters.When explaining this phenomenon, researchers have proposed two hypotheses (假设). The first hypothesis is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers, which would make up for parents potentially being less present than they were for their first child. The second is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings less than older brothers for their parents' love.So far, the study's authors say they can't say for certain why children with older brothers have a harder time developing language skills. In the future they would like to investigate if cultures or locations impact the results of the study.28．People may enjoy having brothers and sisters because ________.A．siblings may affect the speed of language learningB．they share the happy moments on rocky mountainsC．older brothers and sisters will take care of younger onesD．all siblings will stay close to each other no matter what happens29．What does the previous research suggest about having older siblings?A．Many children prefer having brothers and sisters.B．It will affect the younger one's language development.C．Older brothers may have something to do with the linguistic difficulties.D．Children with older brothers would grow up around more conversation on a daily basis.30．Why do children with older brothers experience the delay in language development?A．Probably because older brothers are eager for more attention.B．Probably because parents tend to focus more on the first child.C．Probably because children with older brothers are usually less competitive.D．Probably because older sisters get less love from their parents compared to older brothers.31．Which one is the best title for the passage?A．Having Older Siblings: A Good Thing or A Disaster?B．The Delay of Your Children's Language DevelopmentC．Why Do Children Suffer from Poor Language Skills?D．Older Brothers May Affect Younger Ones in Language LearningDThe concept of culture has been defined many times, and although no definition has achieved universal acceptance, most of the definitions include three central ideas: that culture is passed on from generation to generation, that a culture represents a ready-made principle for living and for making day-to-day decisions, and, finally, that the components of a culture are accepted by those in the culture as good, and true, and not to be questioned. The eminent anthropologist George Murdock has listed seventy-three items that characterize every known culture, past and present.The list begins with Age-grading and Athletic sports, runs to Weaning and Weather Control, and includes on the way such items as Calendar, Fire making, Property Rights, and Tool making. I would submit that even the most extreme advocate of a culture of poverty viewpoint would readily acknowledge that, with respect to almost all of these items, every Americ an, beyond the first generation immigrant, regardless of race or class, is a member of a common culture. We all share pretty much the same sports. Maybe poor kids don’t know how to play polo, and richkids don’t spend time with stickball, but we all know baseball, football, and basketball. Despite some misguided efforts to raise minor dialects to the status of separate tongues, we all, in fact, share the same language.There may be differences in diction and usage, but it would be ridiculous to say that all Americans don’t speak English. We have the calendar, the law, and large numbers of other cultural items in common. It may well be true that on a few of the seventy-three items there are minor variations between classes, but these kinds of things are really slight variations on a common theme.There are other items that show variability, not in relation to class, but in relation to religion and ethnic background — funeral customs and cooking, for example. But if there is one place in America where the melting pot is a reality, it is on the kitchen stove; in the course of one month, half the readers of this sentence have probably eaten pizza, hot pastrami, and chow mein(炒面). Specific differences that might be identified as signs of separate cultural identity are relatively insignificant within the general unity of American life; they are cultural commas and semicolons in the paragraphs and pages of American life.32.According to the author’s definition of culture, ________.A. a culture should be accepted and maintained universallyB. a culture should be free from falsehood and evilsC. the items of a culture should be taken for granted by peopleD. the item s of a culture should be accepted by well-educated people33.What can we learn from the passage?A. Baseball, football and basketball are pop ular sports in America.B. Different classes have different cultures.C. Playing polo is popular among kids.D. There is no variation in using the American language.34.What will most probably be included in the seventy-three items？A.AccentB. Polo.C. Dream patterns.D. Table manners.35.The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to ________.A. prove that different people have different definitions of cultureB. warn that variations exist as far as a culture is concernedC. indicate that culture is closely connected with social classesD. show that the idea that the poor or the rich establish a separate culture is an absurdity第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Bound by manners and common courtesy (礼貌), you can find it difficult to walk away from a conversation without seeming rude. With the help of etiquette (礼节) experts, we have some solutions to your social scares. Next time you feel trapped, remember these tips.__36__No, this move doesn't have to involve throwing one of your friends under the bus. You can introduce your conversational partner to an individual with a common interest or quality and hope that they like each other. According to etiquette exp ert Jodi Smith, “The simplest way to leave someone who is occupying your time at a party is to pull someone else into the conversation. __37__”Tell the people you've enjoyed speaking with them.If your acquaintance can't tell that you're eager to leave, try summarizing your conversation in the hope that your exchange will come to a natural end. According to Jennifer Grant, a certified Etiquette Coach, you can politely say, “Beverly, I have enjoyed speaking with you very much and if you will excuse me, I h ave just seen a colleague/friend that I need to speak with.” __38__ It's simple enough to have good manners, which is why you should stop making these etiquette mistakes by age 30.__39__If you're speaking with someone at a party or networking event, you can suggest activities to your conversational partner. __40__ Or ask, “Have you seen the ballroom downstairs yet? I was down there earlier and it was so festive (欢乐的). You should go to take a look！” This method of ending a conversation will work best at events with many interactive elements, such as wedding parties or conventions.A．Try to find another topic.B．Suggest an activity to the other person.C．This is a solution to all your problems.D．Bring someone else into the conversation.E．After a brief introduction of both speakers, you are free to excuse yourself.F．A farewell such as this one will make the other person feel appreciated and respected.G．For example, say, “Hey, you should go to try the pudding in the kitchen—they're delicious！”第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

He observed Dad carefully.B. He invited Dad to the game.C. He hesitated to pass the ball.D. He cheered for Dad's recovery.5.What role did Dad play in the author's childhood？______A.

Practice random acts of kindness.C. Cherish whatever life has to offer.D. Memorize moments with families.CNASA scientists using virtual reality technology are redefining our understanding about how our galaxy （银河系）works.Using customized,3 D virtual reality（vr）simulation（模拟）that animated the speed and direction of 4 million stars in the local Milky Way neighborhood,astronomer Marc Kuchner and researcher Susan Higashio obtained a new perspective on the stars' motions,improving our understanding of star groupings.Astronomers have come to different conclusions about the same groups of stars from studying them in six dimensions using paper graphs,Higashio said.Groups of stars moving togetherindicate to astronomers that they originated at the same time and place,which can help us understand how our galaxy evolved.Goddard's virtual reality team,managed by Thomas Grubb,animated those samestars,revolutionizing the classification process and making the groupings easier to see,Higashio said.They found stars that may have been classified into the wrong groups as well as star groups that could belong to larger groupings."Rather than look up one database and then another database,why not fly there and look at them all together," Higashio said.She watched these simulations hundreds,maybe thousands of times,and said the associations between the groups of stars became more intuitive inside the artificial cosmos（宇宙）found within the VR headset.Observing stars in VR will redefine astronomer's understanding of some individual stars as well as star groupings.The 3 D visualization helped her and Kuchner open a window into the past. "We often find groups of young stars moving together,suggesting that they all formed at the same time," Kuchner said. "The thinking is they represent a star-formation event.They were all formed in the same place at the same time and so they move together."8.In which aspect can a 3 D VR simulation help researchers？______A. Getting a new idea of how stars are formed.B. Making a more accurate classification of stars.C. Drawing a clearer picture of a star's inner structure.D. Having a better understanding of modern technology.9.What does the underlined word "intuitive" in Paragraph 5 probably mean？______A. Abstract.B. Complex.C. Vivid.D. Close.10.What does the text mainly tell us？______A. Our future relies heavily on the 3 D technology.B. The 3 D technology is applied to many industries.C. NASA scientists use VR for scientific discoveries.D. Researchers have discovered new stars by using VR.11.Where is this text most likely from？______A. A sci-fi story.B. A travel guidebook.C. A research paper.D. A science magazine.DAlthough women now earn more degrees than men,all is not well with them.Women undergraduates are just as likely as men to have a drinking problem.And they are more likely to have anxiety disorders and to be clinically depressed.After 46 years of college teaching,I still give colleges an "F" factor—a factor that plays a major role in female students' well-being：fathers.As documented in my research over the past 30 years,daughters who have strong,supportive relationships with their fathers generally earn better grades,have higher college graduation rates and enter more STEM professions.These daughters are also more emotionally resilient（恢复快的）and self-confident. Moreover,well-fathered women reap these benefits regardless of their family's income.It is worth noting that students from wealthier families do not have better relationships with their parents than students from less well-off families.Then,too,college-educated parents are the most likely to spoil their children—especially their daughters,leaving them becoming the fragile "snowflake" students who melt too easily under stress and rely too often on their parents or college personnel to solve their problems.For decades,however,the research has shown that fathers are less likely than mothers to be overly protective "helicopter" parents who go overboard trying to make life's path as stress-free as possible for children.So how can colleges and universities improve their grades on the "F" factor？First,the curriculum needs to be more inclusive and less prejudiced against fathers.For example,social science textbooks and academic journals devote far more attention to mothers than to fathers.A less sexist,more balanced curriculum would help remove the myths that work against strong father-daughter bonds.Second,colleges can make the faculty more aware of how their female students' relationships with their fathers affect their academic performance and mental health.Third,colleges can create more events specifically for fathers and can be more sensitive to fathers' needs.Supporting the "father factor" in these ways can give women students' mental health amuch-needed boost.And it can also offer professors and staff members another valuable resource to help deal with the challenges that might lie ahead.12.What do we know about well-fathered female students？______A. They don't have a drinking problem.B. They gain advantages in various aspects.C. They usually come from wealthier families.D. They are more likely to have anxiety disorders.13.What does the author think of "helicopter" parents？______A. They are definitely college graduates.B. They are mostly overly protective fathers.C. They are seeking for a stress-free life's path.D. They are responsible for the "snowflake" children.14.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about？______A. Measures that colleges can take.B. Challenges that colleges may face.C. Suggestions that fathers should follow.D. Benefits that college education will bring.15.Which can be a suitable title for the text？______A. Colleges Get an "F" FactorB. Colleges Are to Blame for PrejudiceC. Strong Father-daughter Bonds MatterD. Fathers Are Best Teachers for Children二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Developing Interpersonal Relationships One of the biggest keys to happiness is having strong interpersonal relationships.I believe that relationships are key to leading a fulfilling and contented life.Like anything worth having in life,they take some work to develop and maintain. In the spirit of clarity,it's good idea to take a quick look at the definition of interpersonal relationships. (1) This can extend from family to friends,to work associates,to neighbors,or clubs and on and on.It can be a relationship in any context or situation.For instance,I've had strong short-lived relationships with people I've worked with on a project as well as one for 50 years with my brother.My two best friends and I live in different cities but,we get together several times a year and have a great time.I have a mentor I worked with over a decade ago I still stay in touch with because we get along so well. (2)We will briefly touch on developing interpersonal relationships.Best way to approach it is to be a good partner or friend as the situation desires. (3) Do your part and help others as needed.Be a contributor who is also willing to help out when needed.As a friend,you simply follow the age-old piece of advice "to have a friend,you must first be a friend".(4) That want-to-help attitude will put you with like-minded individuals who you'll probably hit it off with.The main thing to remember is great interpersonal relationships can get formed any lace or situation where you interact with other people.

2021届重庆市巴蜀中学高三英语模拟试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AOur Teen Summer Spanish Program is two weeks of fun, educational excitement that helps students learn Spanish fast. Our Spanish summer program allows our students to learn from highly trained, certified teachers and be absorbed in the language and theculture of Costa Rica.Features include:* Intensive(强化的) daily Spanish classes* Extracurricular classes in dance, cooking, music, and handiwork* Outdoor activities including hiking, camping, rafting, and ziplining(高空滑索)* Homestay with a local Costa Rican family* Volunteer work in needy neighborhoodsOur Teaching Methods:We are proud to use TPRS---Total Physical Response Storytelling---in our curriculum. This innovative method uses strange and amusing stories to teach new vocabulary, increase fluency, and get students involved by giving them the opportunity to alter the details themselves. Because of the silliness, creativity, and repetition involved, TPRS allows students to learn easily and remember information effortlesslyMemorizing vocabulary and listening to lectures on grammar are slow, inefficient ways to learn a new language. The best way to truly learn and commit new material to memory is through conversation. In our Spanish classes, students can expect to speak up to 80% of each class. By speaking in the new language freely and consistently, students can see progress faster because they are using the new grammar and vocabulary that they have learned at the same time. This helps the brain remember the new words and grammar structures for future use, making it much easier to progress.1.What does the program do?A.It offers weekly Spanish classesB.It focuses more on outdoor activitiesC.It gives teachers a chance to receive trainingD.It provides activities about the Spanish culture2.What is the best way to learn a language according to the text?A.Memorizing a larger vocabularyB.Speaking more in the new language.C.Mastering more grammar structuresD.Writing stories to share with others3.What is the purpose of the text?A.To employexperienced Spanish teacherB.To hire foreign volunteers for a programC.To attract teen foreigners to a programD.To introduce language learning methodsBThe man who invented the World Wide Web a few decades ago is calling for major changes to make it better for humans. In an open letter published on Tuesday, Berners-Lee said that the web was used by half the world's population.Berners-Lee said the web had clearly created great opportunities for humans to progress and had made life easier for millions of people. Actually, it also has offered opportunities to groups traditionally not heard a new voice in society. However, he added that the web had also provided new ways for cheats to commit crimes (犯罪).“Against the background of news stories about how the web is misused, it's understandable that many people feel afraid and unsure if the web is really a force for good,” he wrote.Berners-Lee created a group called the World Wide Web Foundation. He islooking for help from governments, companies and people to become more involved in shaping the web to do more good for humans. His actual plan is called the “Contract (合同) for the Web”.Under this contract, governments are called on to take steps to makesure all people can connect to the Internet and that personal privacy is respected. Businesses are asked to keep the Internet prices low so more people can use the web. In addition, companies should respect privacy and develop technologies that aim to put people first.The plan also calls on people to create materials for the web and work with others to make sure that is rich, quality information for everyone. Besides, people should seek to “build strong communities that respect personal speech and human equality.” “The path to make the Internet better is the responsibility of everyone who uses it,” Bermers-Lee added, “Making big changes will not be easy, but will be very well worth it in the end.”4. What does Berners-Lee think of the World Wide Web?A. It is his greatest regret.B. It stops the progress of humans.C. It needs improving.D. It does more harm than good.5. What's wrong with the web according to Berners-Lee?A. It is misused for bad purposes.B. It is misunderstood by all people.C. It blocks out a new voice in society.D. It is expensive for half the world’s population.6. What are governments called on to do under the “Contract for the Web”?A. Put technology first.B. Create materials for the web.C. Popularize the Internet.D. Make the Internet free of charge.7. What should people do with the Internet in Berners-Lee's opinion?A. Be responsible for it.B. Absolutely reject it.C. Completely rely on it.D. Be unconcerned about it.CAs artificial intelligence(AI) systems become more advanced, we can expect them to be used more often in the world of human medicine and healthcare. AI is designed to imitate(模仿）the human brain in decision making and learning, so with the computing power to learn tasks in days or even hours, it is possible to create medical AIs that rapidly outperform doctors in certain tasks.Data plays a hugely important role in helping AI systems learn about human medicine. AI systems are trained on large data sets gathered from real-life cases. Providing detailed patient information in quantities is a crucial factor for their success.One of the most important areas for influencing global health is in the field of epidemiology(流行病学）。
2021届重庆市巴蜀中学高三英语第一次联考试题及参考答案
2021届重庆市巴蜀中学高三英语第一次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（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A“Why do I feel cold when I have a fever?” “Why does the sun rise in the east?” I knew the day would come when my little girl Sophie would learn to talk and inevitably (不可避免地) start askingthose questions. The questions themselves weren’t worrying me. I was actually looking forward to seeing where her curiosity would lie.What was bothering (烦恼) me was whether or not I would know the answers. In the age of the smartphone, this may seem like a silly worry. The answers to almost everything would be just one Google away.Still, I struggled with how I was going to prepare to become an all-knowing mother. Then one day, it struck me: I didn’t need to have all the answers. What a great example I could set if I let my daughter know that I, too, was still learning. And I realized how much more I could learn if I took another look at things I thought I already knew the answer to with the curiosity of a child. My little girl’s mind is a beginner’s mind--- curious, open to new ideas, eager to learn, and not based on knowledge that already exists. I decided that I would deal with her questions with a beginner’s mind, too.Once I decided to become more curious, I started noticing that curiosity was becoming more important in the workplace, too. It seems that leaders don't need to have all the answers, but they do need to be curious.Curious about curiosity, I searched for answers and found Albert Einstein’s famous words, “I have no special talent. I am only passionately (热情地) curious.” We mightquibble overthe view that Einstein had no special talent, but there is one thing for certain---he wouldn't have solved the puzzles of the universe without his passionate curiosity. Then I came across another Einstein quote, “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason or existence.”1. The advantage of having a beginner’s mind is that ________.A. people can learn much faster.B. people won't be afraid to make mistakes.C. people are willing to receive new things.D. people won't be expected to answer all questions.2. What does the example of Einstein’s words show?A. Einstein was passionate about curiosity.B. Einstein’s quotes are very famous.C. Curiosity is of great significance.D. Curiosity is more necessary than talent.3. What does the underlined phrase “quibble over” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Fight against.B. Argue about.C. Work out.D. Agree withBI’ve never been the kind of person to say, “it’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present thatblew me away.For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building.In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s name and the date they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see. Over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.So one day, while I was at work, my childrendecided to do something about it.They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns (舞会礼服).She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (手印), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.Three weeks later, my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.4. The underlined phrase in Para. I “blew me away” probably means “________”.A. attracted meB. surprised meC. accepted meD. refused me5. What does the house really mean to the author?A. A house.B. Buildings.C. An object.D. Memories.6. What surprised the friends I know after work?A. Finding the wall repainted.B. Erasing the fingerprints.C. Greeting them by tears.D. Leaving the wall unfinished.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Gift Made with LoveB. Buildings Made by ChildrenC. A Very Wonderful PaintingD. A Family HistoryCIt is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kids — particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.For example, we can say to a child “Don't run into traffic！” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and aren't scaring themselves with what not to do.Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works.What we think, we automatically rehearse.For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn't be able to do it.When a child is told “Don't fall off the tree，” he will think of two things：“don't” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off.So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.So parents should make their commands positive.“Sam, hold on firmly to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don't you dare to fall out of the boat？” or “How do you think I'll feel if you drown？” The changes are small but the difference is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it paysto be positive.8. Positive choice of words helps kids to ________.A. learn in different situationsB. do things carefullyC. build up their confidenceD. improve their imagination9. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. A child will act on what is instructed.B. One can't help imagining what is heard.C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.D. One won't think of a blue monkey when given money.10. Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?A. How do you think I'll feel if you get hurt?B. Don't play by the lake.C. Don't you dare to walk through the red light?D. Fasten your seat belt.11. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. positive instructions guide kidsB. praise makes kids confidentC right instructions keep kids safe D. clear commands make kids differentDIn a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toiletor taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,”“Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist.12. What is the result of the survey?A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent.B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer.C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people.D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework.13. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning?A. They can entertain themselves.B. They can take in fresh air.C. They get a sense of achievement.D. They can delay other things.14. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish.B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink.C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals.D. Most prefer cleaning their toiletto washing dishes by hand.15. What column does the text belong to?A. Feature Story.B. Family Life.C. Scientific Hotspot.D. Finance Focus.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。

2021年重庆市巴蜀中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案
2021年重庆市巴蜀中学高三英语第一次联考试卷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AWhen it comes to the greatest inventions of the world, China’s name is sure to be mentioned several times. There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.AlcoholShocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.TeaChina is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.The Mechanical ClockHave you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.Silk FabricSilk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A.people in the US like alcoholB.beer was popular in the Xia DynastyC.Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accidentD.the author didn’t know alcohol is a Chinese invention2.The author asks the question in Paragraph 4 to show ________.A.ancient Chinese inventors were wiserB.many things in our lives are incompleteC.ancient Chinese people never wasted timeD.the invention of the mechanical clock is important3.Which of the following invention has a longer history?A.Tea.B.Alcohol.C.Silk fabric.D.The mechanical clock.BChinese archaeologists（考古学家）announced on Saturday that some new major discoveries have been made at the Sanxingdui Ruins site in Southwest China, helping uncover another start of the Chinese civilization.Archaeologists have found six new sacrificial pits（祭祀坑）and unearthed more than 500 treasures dating back 3,000 years at the Sanxingdui Ruins in Sichuan Province. So far, archaeologists have unearthed masses of important cultural items from four of the pits, including pieces of gold masks, gold foil, bronze（青铜）masks, bronze trees and large numbers of ivories. The rest of the newly discovered pits arc still being dug up.“Surprisingly, we have unearthed some never — heard — of — before bronze items," said Lei Yu, from the Sichuan Archaeology Research Institute. 'Tor instance, some large and well-made bronze items have strange-looking dragon or cow designs on them.”In another major discovery, relics of silk products were found for the first time at Sanxingdui, which shows “the ancient Shu Kingdom was one of the important starts of silk in ancient China" according to Tang Fei, head of the digging team.The new pits sit next to two sacrificial pits discovered in 1986, with areas ranging between 3o square meters and 19 square meters. Together they form an area in which people of the ancient Shu civilization held ceremonies to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and their forefathers, and prayed for good luck and peace.The Sanxingdui Ruins is regarded as one of the greatest archaeological finds of mankind in the 20th century. The site was accidentally discovered by a farmer in the 1920s. The ruins are located in the city ofGuanghan, about 60 kilometers fromChengduand are believed to be the relics of theShuKingdom.4. What can we learn from the text?A. Totally there are 500 treasures unearthed.B. Six new sacrificial pits are under repair.C. The unearthed treasures date from 3000 years ago.D. There are six sacrificial pits at Sanxingdui.5. What does the discovery of the relics of silk products mean?A. Chinese civilization was widely influential.B.AncientShuKingdomwas also the home of silk.C. Chinese silk has a much longer history than known.D.ShuKingdombelonged toChinasince ancient times.6. What was the main function of the sacrificial pits?A. To celebrate festivals.B. To store valuable items.C. To bury important figures.D. To hold sacrifice ceremonies.7. Who first discovered the Sanxingdui Ruins?A. A farmer.B. Lei YuC. Tang Fei.D. Archaeologists.CThis year researchers expect the world to snap 1.35 trillion photographs, or about 3.7 billion per day. All those pixels (像素) take up a lot of room if they are stored on personal computers or s phones, which is one reason why many people store their images in the cloud. But unlike a hard on drive which can be encrypted to protect its data, cloud storage users have to trust that a tech platform will keep their private pictures safe. Now a team of Columbia University computer scientists has developed a tool to encrypt (加密) images stored on many popular cloud services while allowing authorized users to browse and display their photographs as usual.Malicious (恶意的) attempts to access or leak cloud-based photographs can expose personal information. In November 2019, for example, a bug in the popular photograph storage app Google Photos mistakenly shared some users' private videos with strangers. Security experts also worry about employees at cloud storage companies on purpose accessing users' images.So the Columbia researchers came up with a system called Easy Secure Photos (ESP), which they presented at a recent conference. “We wanted to see if we could make it possible to encrypt data while using existing services,” says computer scientist Jason Nieh, one of the developers of ESP. “Everyone wants to stay with Google Photos and not have to register on a new encrypted-image cloud storage service.”To overcome this problem, they created a tool that preserves blocks of pixels but moves them around to effectively hide the photograph. First, ESP's algorithm (算法) divides a photograph into three separate files, each one containing the image's red, green or blue color1 data. Then the system hides the pixel blocks around among these three files (allowing a block from the red file, for instance, to hide out in the green or blue ones). But theprogram does nothing within the pixel blocks, where all the image processing happens. As a result, the files remain unchanged images but end up looking like grainy black-and-white ones to anyone who accesses them without the decryption (解密) key.8. What's probably the main purpose for people to store images in the cloud?A. To save storage room.B. To make photos beautiful.C. To try a new storage way.D. To keep their privacy safe.9. Why might employees in cloud storage companies be distrusted by experts?A. They sell users' passwords.B. They have invented new tools.C. They often let out personal information.D. They may steal a glance at users' images.10. What's the advantage of ESP?A. It can provide clear images.B. It can decrease the upload time.C. It can classify images automatically.D. It can encrypt data on the original platform.11. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. Method of decryption.B. Image-processing technique.C. Separate files of images.D. Data analysisof color1 s.DTeens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better healthas adults, according to research published by an American research center.“This research suggests that improving students' relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success," said Jinho Kim, a professor atKoreaUniversityand author of the study."Itcould also bring about healthimplicationsin the long run.”Previous research has suggested that teens' social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal（因果的）-it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships with their peers（同龄人）, rather than on their relationships with teachers.To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in theU.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）. As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?" As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. "This is not something that most teachers receive much training in," Kim said, “but it should be.”12. What does the underlined word “implications" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Recipes.B. Habits.C. Benefits.D. Risks.13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Poor health in adolescence.B. Limitations of the previous research.C. Teens' relationships with their peers.D. Factors affecting health in adulthood.14. What does Kim's research show?A. Good adult health depends on teens' good teachers.B. Good family background promises long-term adult health.C. Healthy peer relationships leads to students' academic success.D. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students' adult health.15. Where does this text probably come from?A. A health magazine.B. A medical report.C. A term paper.D. A family survey.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。

The alarm goes off and the onlylight is the red glow from my clock. My body says, “Go back to bed.” But I don’t. I know my running partner will be waiting in the street and I’m not going to stand her up. Then I walk onto the road, complaining about the cold and wishing I were back under my warm covers.If you’d have asked me a year ago if I could see myself running at 5:15 on a winter morning, I’d have laughed. Morning just wasn’t my thing and running in the morning was something I didn’t even consider. “I prefer to work out in the middle of the morning or in the afternoon,” I’d say to my friends who go to the gym before work.Then, last fall I reconnected with an old neighborhood friend. She’d been running in the morning and taken off forty pounds that year. When I looked in the mirror, I knew I could benefit from the same kind of weight loss. I asked if I could join her. I knew I needed to change something if I was going to get back in shape.The first two months were especially hard, because we ran twice a week at 5:15 am and I slept till 7:00 the other mornings. But as I’ve adjusted to the routine of running, I’ve discovered great joys that make it even more worthwhile than a little weight loss.While I haven’t lost forty pounds yet, it’s amazing how much more energy I have and how much stronger I feel. Because of the morning run, the rest of my day is more productive. I wouldn’t say I’ve become a morning person, but I would say morning running is now my thing.4. What can we know about the author from paragraph 1?A. 5:15 is the ideal time for her to exercise.B. She prefers to run without any company.C. She takes the run with warm clothes on.D. She goes for a run in spite of the cold and early rise.5. What was the author’s attitude to morning running a year ago?A. Scared.B. Unfavorable.C. Supportive.D. Confused.6.

What effect does morning runninghave on the author?A. She has become slim again.B. She has become more confident.C. She has become more energetic.D. She has become more exhausted.CVolunteer DayWhat better way is there to enjoy your own hobbies while helping others at the same time?

The purpose of the passage is to _________.A. educate childrenB. attract volunteersC. comfort the elderlyD. encourage the disabledDToo much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn andeven reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don't ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人）may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. These with college degrees had watch an averageof less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to increasing findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.12. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _________.A. have had computers in their bedroomsB. not be interested in mathC. be unable to go to collegeD. have watched a lot of TV13.

"Summer" is clearly a noun, more precisely, a verbed noun.Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With such a tidy definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to "foot" bills, "chair" committees, and "dialogue" with political opponents. Chances are you don't feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns."The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language, "says Patricia O'Conner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.Even though conversion（转化）is quite universal, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White, in The Elements of Style-the Bible for the use of American English-have this to say："Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are suspect." The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care."Sometimes people object to a new verb because they resist what is unfamiliar to them, " saysO'Conner. That's why we're comfortable "hosting" a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of "medaling" in sports. So are there any rules for verbing Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House,doesn't offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about "verbifying" a noun if it's easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure it's descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says.In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English "English". Not every coinage（新创的词语）passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it.(1) What can we learn about the verbing of nounsA. It hasn't recently been opposed by many grammarians.B. It is more commonly accepted by children than adults.C. It hasn't been a rare phenomenon in the past century.D. It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice.(2) What is most leading experts' attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nounsA. Cautious.B. Satisfied.C. Disappointed.D. Unconcerned.(3) What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns?A. Predictable.B. Practicable.C. Approaching.D. Impossible.(4) What is the best title for the textA. Are 40 Percent of All New Verbs from Nouns？B. Are Summering and Medaling Annoying？C. Are You Comfortable about a New Verb？D. Are There Any Rules for Verbing？4、【来源】 2021年重庆渝中区重庆市巴蜀中学高考模拟第12~15题10分(每题2.5分)Here's something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help: struggling with schoolwork on your own can help you learn. According to a recent study, the more you struggle while you are learning new information, the better you can remember it later.This theory might surprise you. When teachers are presenting new information, they often give students lots of help. But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning. "Don't be too quick to get help when learning something new, " an education expert Manu Kapur told TFK. "Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways."Kapur came up with the idea that struggling can lead to better learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He separated students into two groups. In the first group, students were asked to solve math problems with the teacher's help. In the second group, students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another, instead of getting help from the teacher.With the teacher's help, students in the first group were able to find the correct answers. Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly. But they did come up with a lot of good ideas. The students were then tested on what they had learned. The group without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process, not just the solution.Kapur's advice for kids is to put a lot of efforts into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help. "Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won't work, " says Kapur. "The struggle needs to be a genuine attempt to figure out or solve a problem in as many ways as possible."(1) When you have doubt on schoolwork, you'd better.A. ask your teacher for helpB. make it clear by yourselfC. ask your classmates to help youD. ask your parents for help(2) What's Manu Kapur educational idea on learning new knowledge?A. Give students much help as soon as possible.B. Let students learn it on themselves in one way.C. Let students learn it by themselves in the same way.D. Let students learn it for themselves in different ways.(3) How did Kapur check his idea on better learning?A. By asking questions.B. By solving art problems.C. By group comparisons.D. By solving science problems.(4) What is most important in learning knowledge?A. Getting the teacher's help.B. Getting the student's help.C. Grasping the learning course.D. Receiving the final solution.二、七选五（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）5、【来源】 2021年重庆渝中区重庆市巴蜀中学高考模拟第16~20题10分(每题2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。
