AWelcome to South PoleIs it cold?Yes! Be very careful out in the open air! The temperature is between -21℃ in the summer and -78℃ in the winter, and you can become numb (麻木) with cold without realizing. There’s heavy frost even on the warmest summer days, and if it’s quiet you can hear your breath freeze. So if you leave the station, dress warmly and carry dry clothing and a portable radio.Is there anything good about the weather?The air is very pure, and it doesn’t snow very much — only about four millimetres a year. There’s very little wind and the sky is usually clear. It’s possibly the calmest place on Earth.Is it safe?Because the South Pole is a high altitude site, the glare of the sunlight here is very terrible. It’s also reflected by the snow, so if you go outside, remember to wear sunglasses and use suncream. If you don’t, there’s a severe risk that you’ll damage your eyesight or get badly sunburnt.What’s it like to live here?Life is quite abnormal. Sunrise and sunset come once every six months, and in the winter the total absence of daylight can be tiresome, and for some, depressing. We’re totally isolated (隔绝) except for radio and electronic communications, as no aircraft can fly here for about eight months. Usual equipment doesn’t always work as it should do. If you use an electric drill, the power cord will snap. Photography is tricky too, as film is fragile and the camera battery doesn’t work in the cold.21. Which word best describes the South Pole most of the time？A. Cool.B. Freezing.C. Cloudy.D. Windy.22. What is it not necessary to take along to the South Pole?A. Raincoats.B. Sunglasses.C. Dry clothes.D. Electronic communications.23. What’s the main purpose of the text?A. To send an invitation.B. To make a research.C. To give some advice.D. To introduce the South Pole.BI tend to go slowly when I drive in the mountains of my home, because the forest scenery is beautiful no matter what the season. This morning I was driving slower than usual because an early March snow had turned theroads slippery. Going up a mountain road, at a sharp, snowy curve (弯道), I saw a big buck deer standing in the middle of the road. I came to a full stop and for a few seconds we just stared at each other. His eyes seemed wise and he stood still there. Finally, he nodded his head at me. I nodded in return and motioned (示意) with my hand for him to go on. He then jumped across the road, up the hill, and back into the woods. I drove on smiling at the magic of this moment and thanked that I had been going slowly enough not to hit this beautiful creature.Most of us rush through this life not knowing what we are missing. We rarely get to enjoy what each day brings us. Life is meant to be savored. Days are meant to be lived in love and joy not flown through at a crazy speed.The next time you find yourself going too fast, slow down. Take the time to watch the sunrise and fill the world with light. Take the time to look your children in their eyes, hug them, and tell them that you love them. Take the time to live your life with love and delight in all the miracles (奇迹) each day brings you. And you might even end up not hitting a deer on your way home.24.What can we infer about the author from Paragraph1?A. He lives a busy life.B. He knows the deer well.C. He’s particular about nature.D. He’s kind of good at observing.25.How did the author feel after the interaction with the deer?A. Grateful.B. Proud.C. Confident.D. Puzzled.26.What does the underlined word “savored” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Controlled totally.B. Enjoyed completely.C. Spent together.D. Led crazily.27.What does the author call on us to do in the last paragraph?A. Give children more love.B. Pay more attention to the deer.C. Get close to nature and live a happier life.D. Take things slowly and appreciate life more fully.CReading and writing poetry is a very personal experience. Poets use language as a way of expressing their feelings. Poems can describe the beauty of nature, a person, a dream or a memorable event. Most people have tried writing poetry at some time. For children, it is a good way to explore language and have fun with words as well as to express themselves.But teachers and psychologists have found another use for poetry as a form of therapy (疗法) to help people with problems. Writing poetry can help people deal with changes in their lives, death or feelings of sadness, drug or alcohol problems or serious illness. By writing down your feelings, you can learn to understand yourself better and give yourself a voice if you feel you are being ignored. Poem might be a way of telling someone something when you do not feel able to talk about it face to face. And just because people are ill or having difficulties in their lives, it doesn’t mean they have lost their sense of humor. Poems written as therapy can be funny too, as laughter is also considered to be very good medicine.Students at a special school in Dudley, in England, read and write poems every day. Some of the poems theywrite are very good, but their reason for writing is not just to be creative. All of them have problems. Some of them have long-term medical conditions, such as cancer, while others have personality disorders or psychological problems. By writing poems students are growing in self-confidence. The poems provide a channel through which they can communicate with the world, and express their feelings. They also help them to recognize and explore their problems and to develop a positive attitude to life.But the poems are helping other people, too. The school has collected some of the students’ poems and published them in a book which is being sold to raise funds for a local hospital. The book has proved very popular, giving students a sense of motivation and achievement.28.How can poetry work as therapy?A. By solving physical problems.B.By staying away from humor.C. By communicating face to face.D. By promoting expression.29.What makes the students of the school in Dudley special?A. They suffer many problems.B. They know many poems.C. They are very confident.D. They are very positive.30.What does the published book mean to the students?A. They’ll get wealthy.B. They’ll get inspired.C. They’ll become popular psychologists.D. They’ll become professional poets.31.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The creation of poetry.B. The power of poetry.C. The development of poetry.D. The appreciation of poetry.DWhen Benjamin Cherkasky was in eighth grade, he quit the swim team. It wasn’t because he lacked the passion; he just couldn’t accept failures in matches.A US therapist (治疗专家) who researches perfectionism at Northwestern University realized years later what had happened. Cherkasky’s perfectionism was creating unrealistic standards. Unable to meet them, he quit.“My perfectionism contributed to very high expectations, and that caused real suffering,” he said.Cherkasky is not alone in feeling that perfectionism can cause anxiety. So many millennials (千禧一代) suffer from the ills of perfectionism that psychologists are issuing warnings and schools are pointing up the need to accept failure.Northwestern had held several lectures that offered tips on how students could deal with a perfectionism problem.Jessica Rohlfing Pryor, a psychologist leading the events, said every generation is a sponge (海绵) for the messages it receives. “Millennials, more than any other generation in American society, are receiving cle ar messages around achieving,” she said. “There’s an absence of messaging that trying your hardest is still OK.”Researchers also mentioned that social media adds comparative pressure, along with the drive to earn money and achieve career goals. Perfectionists often create even higher goals, which can lead to a higher risk of failure.In college, Cherkasky found himself surrounded by so many intelligent people that he felt he should have been achieving a higher level than he was. “It makes you feel kind of crazy,” he said.This type of thinking can lead people to putting in less effort, which, as they fall behind, can create more anxiety. “It makes people feel kind of isolated.” And that, Cherkasky added, “can cause students to move away from their school”.Northwestern is not the only school eager to help students.Brown University includes perfectionism in its advising services, asking students if they ever feel that what they achieve isn’t good enough.32.What was the real factor for Cherkasky to quit the swim team?A. Little passion.B. Frequent matches.C. High expectations.D. Changeable standards.33. Why do researchers think millennials suffer more from perfectionism?A. They own the same social goal.B. They go for success with little effort.C. They’re forced to accept failure.D. They’re troubled by a chieving more.34. What advice can be good for perfectionists from the text?A. Avoiding social media.B. Lowering their risk of failure.C. Doing their best is good enough.D. Giving up school is acceptable.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Battling PerfectionismB. Tolerating PerfectionismC. Experiencing FailureD. Enjoying Achievement第二节（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Here is a list of some of the year’s biggest blockbusters so far.Kong: Skull IslandA reboot (重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modem version of the story will be worth watching. With US actress Brie Larson and UK actor Tom Hiddleston in the mix, this film is set to be this year’s biggest monster tale.Release Date:3/10/17Beauty and the BeastDirector Bill Condon is bringing back a part of our childhood in live action, complete with the songs we all remember and love. With British stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens leading thecast, the classic Walt Disney story already sounds like it’ll be a delight for both children and adults.Release Date:3/17/17The Fate of the FuriousThere was doubt that we’d even get a Fast 8, especially after the fitting ending US actor Paul Walker’s character was given at the end of Furious 7. Fans thought they’d never see Dom and the rest of the crew back in action, but thankfully, US star Vin Diesel himself confirmed that The Fate of the Furious is fueling up for another go.Release Date:4/14/17Spider-Man: HomecomingSpider Man is heading home to Marvel Studios for the first time. The movie will show us Peter Parker’s high school days, and will continue the threads we saw formed during his initial appearance in Captain America: Civil War.

Rhea Ballos, an 11-year-old student ofSalvationElementary Schoolin Balason,Iloilo, wasonly wearing bandages around her feet when she competed at the Iloilo Schools Sports Meet.Facebook user Valenzuela posted pictures of the girl with her feet wrapped in bandages bearing the famous Nike logo. Ballos even wrote the word “NIKE” on the sides of her “shoe” to complete the “Nike running shoes” look. The bandages were tightly wrapped around her feet, creating a thin protective layer against the track. While she was actually barefoot during the races, she was still able to defeat her competitors who all more proper footwear intended for running,According to the post, Ballos bagged the top awards in the 400-meter dash, the 800-meter run, and the 1500-meter run in the girls' categories in the inter school sporting event held in Iloilo, central Philippines.When pictures of her “Nike” footwear become popular, Flipinos on social media praised her. Many noted that instead of falling into self-pity, she was even able to make light of the situation by drawing the Nike logo on her “running shoes”. Some of the commenters of Valenzuela's post expressed how the girl deserved to be recognized by Nike and that the brand should actually give her a new pair of real Nike shoes. Others started getting in touch with the American sports brand, as well as local basketball specialty store Titan 22.It did not take long for Titan co-founder and Alaska Aces head coach Jeffrey Cariaso to take notice of Ballos' outstanding achievement. Cariaso immediately made an effort to get in touch with the young track runner. The seven-time PBA champion has since talked to the student as well as her coaches in an apparent bid to help her out.4. Why did Ballos wear bandages around her feet to compete?A. She couldn't afford to buy shoes.B. She wished to be noticed by Nike.C. She wanted to draw public's attention.D. She thought it fashionable and unique.5. What's people's attitude to Ballos' story?A.

Ballos is bound to win more champions.D. Ballos will become a great basketball player.7. Which of the following can best describe Ballos?A. Shy and lucky.B. Kind and brave.C.

She visits two hospitals providing day care for the elderly, and our library’s PAWS forReadingprogram. At the library, six to ten dogs lie on the floor, and the kids pick a book to read to a dog. After they finish, they get a card with the dog’s picture and history. Angel also helps out at a special-needs camp. She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her, especially the kids she has worked with.We have seen some very special things through our pet therapy work. I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was completely unable to move the right side of her body from a stroke(中风). One day, my husband, Jack, got Angel up into a chair next to the woman’s bed, asking her if she wanted to give Angel a treat. She nodded. Angel gently took the treat. Then the woman raised her right hand and started petting Angel. Her friend couldn’t believe her eyes.After that, every time we saw the woman, she lifted her left hand. We’d tell her she had to use her right hand, and she would. Next, you’ll fall in love with this woman’s story of rearing her own Angel later in her family andwhy she calls it the best decision she ever made.8. Who is Angel?A. A pet trainer.B. A hospitalC. A therapy dog.D. The author’s kid.9. What does Angel usually do?A. Save seriously ill people.B. Pay visits to kids in hospital.C. Protect the elderly in their homes.D.

Training.DNew Yorkis among the slowest cities during rush hour in the world, according to a report published in January. Crossing midtown by car is soul-destroying. The average speed is 4.7 miles per hour, not much quicker than a quick walk. But relief is in sight. On April 1st, state lawmakers agreed to introduce road charges, makingNew Yorkthe first big American city to do so. By next year vehicles will have to pay to enterManhattansouth of60th Street.The details of the new rule, including how much drivers will have to pay, how they will pay and how often they will pay, haveyet to be decided. A “traffic mobility review board" will be set up to work all this out. New Yorkers living in the fee zone who make less than $60,000 a year will be exempt (获豁免) . Other drivers, including motorcyclists, the city' s civil servants, disabled drivers and the trucking industry, all want discounts or exemptions, which might not be a good sign.If done right, road pricing could be expanded beyondManhattan.New Yorkcan learn from other cities.Singapore, for instance, which has had pricing for decades, adjusts prices regularly. It can also learn from mistakes.London, which rolled out its pricing in 2003, is only starting to charge on-demand car hires like Uber.Stockholm exempted too many vehicles, which caused a drop in revenues (收入) .Other cities considering road charges, includingLos Angeles, Philadelphia Portland,San FranciscoandSeattle, are watchingNew York. "We really have t1o make a good example," says Nicole Gelinas of the Manhattan Institute, aNew Yorkthink tank.12. What does the report find?A.New Yorkhas terrible road traffic.B.New Yorkoften introduces new laws.C. New Yorkers prefer walking to driving.D. New Yorkers face an increased cost of living.13.

Her owner took her to see vets before ending up in the hands of Dr. Michelle Oblak.Dr. Oblak had been researching 3D-printing uses for dogs. According to Oblak, a dog in Patches’ situation would need an expensive operation where the animal’s tumor and skull would be removed and then replaced. However, Oblak believed Patches was the ideal candidate to receive it.Dymeck, Patches’ owner, said that she was hesitant (犹豫的), but the potential to help others convinced her. “They felt she could recover from this,” Dymeck said. “And to be part of research was a big thing for me – if they can learn something from animals to help humans, that’s important.”The brand new method used to save Patches’ life started with a CT scan of her tumor. Then, Oblak and her team digitally removed the tumor in Patches’ skull. After that, they mapped out what the 3D-prin ted skull piece would look like and where it would fit on the dog. “There’s little room for error,” Oblak explained. “We’re talking less than two millimeters or else the plate wouldn’t fit.”After everything was drawn out, Oblak sent the designs over to the 3D-printing company and just two weeks later Patches’ customized skull (定制的头骨) was ready. Then Patches went under the knife. After a four-hour operation, the dog was back to herself. Patches is now cancer-free. She has a scar on her head but it seems like a small price to pay for the life-saving operation.“Our hope is this is something that could be more widely available on a broad scale,” Oblak said. “It went very well.”4．What exactly is Patches?A．A pet. B．A doctor.C．A servant. D．A patient.5．What was the problem with Patches?A．She had a headache. B．Her skull was broken.C．She suffered from a cancer. D．Her head was covered with scars. 6．Which word can best describe Dymeck？A．Experienced. B．Responsible.C．Unselfish. D．Talented.7．What can we learn about the operation from the passage?A．A small error happened. B．It cost Oblak a lot of money.C．It was challenging and demanding. D．A CT scan mapped out the 3D skull piece.In the UK, Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night is celebrated on 5 November and the night skies are filled with color. It’s a special day in honor of a historic event.In 1606 English Catholics were angry because the King of England, James I, was treating them badly. In protest (抗议), a group of men made a plan, known as the “Gunpowder Plot”, to blow up the House of Parliament in London. An huge explosion was planned for 5 November, the day the king was due to open parliament.The group chose a man called Guy Fawkes to light the gunpowder. The plot did not succeed — the gunpowder was found before it exploded and all the men involved were arrested, beaten and executed. To celebrate his survival, King James ordered the people of England to have a bonfire on the night of 5 November.On 5 November people remember the plot by celebrating Bonfire Night. All over Britain there are firework displays and bonfires with models of Guy Fawkes, made from clothes and filled with newspaper, which are burned on the fire. The fireworks are a reminder of the gunpowder that Guy Fawkes hid in the cellar of Parliament.Children used to take home-made Guys onto the streets and ask for “a penny for the Guy” to collect money to buy fireworks. At the Edenbridge Display in Kent last year, a 9-meter “celebrity” Guy was burned of Wayne Rooney wearing Shrek-style ears and a Manchester United football shirt.It’s normally quite cold in November in Britain, so on Bonfire Night people wear hats, scarves and gloves to spend the evening outside. Traditional Bonfire Night food is hot bakedpotatoes. There are also toffee apples and in the north of England they eat a special type of cake called parkin.8．Why was 5 November chosen by “Gunpowder Plot”?A．There would be a protestB．There would be an explosionC．James I would open parliamentD．James I would put Catholics to death9．What does the underlined words “executed” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Scolded. B．Punished.C．Injured. D．Killed.10．What seems to attract children most on Bonfire Night?A．Celebrities. B．Fireworks.C．Models of Guy Fawkes. D．Bonfire Night foods.11．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Bonfire Night B．Guy FawkesC．Gunpowder Plot Failed D．Edenbridge Display Made ItDid you know people who live in different parts of China have different habits and preferences? For example, people from southern China prefer to eat vegetables, while people from north China like to eat meat. According to a new study in a journal, gene variations (基因变异) might be responsible for these differences. Researchers from China’s BGI collected genetic information from 141, 431 Chinese women, who came from 31 provinces and consisted of 36 ethnic minority groups.The researchers found that there are six gene frequencies that are different among people from both northern and southern China. They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have developed, affecting their food preferences, immunities(免疫力)to illness and physical features.A variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people. It helps people metabolize (新陈代谢) fatty acids, which suggests a diet that is rich in flesh. This is due to climate differences. Northern China is at a higher latitude. This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in. Therefore, northerners tend to eat more meat.The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups. Most people insouthern China carry the gene CR1, which protects against malaria. Malaria was once quite common in southern China. In order to survive, the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease. However, people in the south are also more sensitive to certain illnesses, as they lack the genes to stop them.Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners. Most northerners have the ABCC11 gene, which causes dry earwax, less body smell and fewer sweats. These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments. Southerners are less likely to have this gene, as it did not develop in their population. 12．What did the new study focus on?A．Regions. B．Vegetables.C．Gene variations. D．Ethnic minority groups.13．What is the main function of the gene FADS2?A．It helps store fat. B．It helps digest meat.C．It helps gain weight. D．It helps treat illness.14．According to the study, most northerners ______.A．are immune to malaria B．catch blood-borne illnesses easily C．have no body smell D．sweat less frequently15．How many differences did the study find related to genes?A．Two. B．Three.C．Four. D．Five.二、七选五By definition, most people are average. Average is what everyone else does. If you want to succeed, you must go beyond average. So, how do you choose not to be average? Here are 5 Ways to Choose Not to Be Average:1. Have goals. Average doesn’t have goals. Average doesn’t write them down. 16．Make sure you have clearly defined goals and that you do something daily to move them forward.2. Go above and beyond. 17．Average does what is expected and stops there. Go beyond people’s expectations and surprise them with results.3. Push yourself. Average likes easy. Average doesn’t push limits. 18．Always be testing your limits to reach new ones.4. 19．Average likes comfortable. Average likes the well-worn path that is easy to follow.Average is where everyone else goes. Make your own path if you don’t want to end up with everyone else.5. Try new things. Average doesn’t like change. Average likes the status quo (现状). Always be willing to try new things in order to learn and grow.Life is too short to be average. 20．Choose to be more. Choose to be something better. Choose to be above average.A．Make your own path.B．You are stronger than you think.C．You have many chances to enjoy yourself.D．Believe you have reasons to choose to be average.E.Average does just enough to get by and nothing more.F.Ask yourself if you are settling for the same as everyone else.G.And average doesn’t make progress every single day without excuses.三、完形填空阅读下面的短文，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。
2021年四川省泸州市高考英语一诊试卷
2021年四川省泸州市高考英语一诊试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AWelcome to South Pole Is it cold？Yes! Be very careful out in the open air! The temperature is between -21℃ in the summer and -78℃ in the winter, and you can become numb（麻木）with cold without realizing. There's heavy frost even on the warmest summer days, and if it's quiet you can hear your breath freeze. So if you leave the station, dress warmly and carry dry clothing and a portable radio.Is there anything good about the weather？The air is very pure, and it doesn't snow very much - only about four millimetres a year. There's very little wind and the sky is usually clear. It's possibly the calmest place on Earth.Is it safe？Because the South Pole is a high altitude site,the glare of the sunlight here is very terrible. It's also reflected by the snow, so if you go outside, remember to wear sunglasses and use suncream. If you don't, there's a severe risk that you'll damage your eyesight or get badly sunburnt. What's it like to live here？Life is quite abnormal. Sunrise and sunset come once every six months,and in the winter the total absence of daylight can be tiresome, and for some, depressing. We're totally isolated（隔绝）except for radio and electronic communications, as no aircraft can fly here for about eight months. Usual equipment doesn't always work as it should do. If you use an electric drill, the power cord will snap. Photography is tricky too, as film is fragile and the camera battery doesn't work in the cold.1.Which word best describes the South Pole most of the time？______A. Cool.B. Freezing.C. Cloudy.D. Windy.2.What is it not necessary to take along to the South Pole？______A. Raincoats.B. Sunglasses.C. Dry clothes.D. Electronic communications.3.What's the main purpose of the text？______A. To send an invitation.B. To make a research.C. To give some advice.D. To introduce the South Pole.I tend to go slowly when I drive in the mountains of my home, because the forest scenery is beautiful no matter what the season. This morning I was driving slower than usual because an early March snow had turned the roads slippery. Going up a mountain road, at a sharp, snowy curve （弯道），I saw a big buck deer standing in the middle of the road. I came to a full stop and for a few seconds we just stared at each other. His eyes seemed wise and he stood still there. Finally, he nodded his head at me. I nodded in return and motioned （示意）with my hand for him to go on. He then jumped across the road, up the hill, and back into the woods. I drove on smiling at the magic of this moment and thanked that I had been going slowly enough not to hit this beautiful creature.Most of us rush through this life not knowing what we are missing. We rarely get to enjoy what each day brings us. Life is meant to be savored. Days are meant to be lived in love and joy not flown through at a crazy speed.The next time you find yourself going too fast, slow down. Take the time to watch the sunrise and fill the world with light. Take the time to look your children in their eyes, hug them, and tell them that you love them. Take the time to live your life with love and delight in all the miracles （奇迹）each day brings you. And you might even end up not hitting a deer on your way home.4.What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 1？______A. He lives a busy life.B. He knows the deer well.C. He's particular about nature.D. He's kind of good at observing.5.How did the author feel after the interaction with the deer？______A. Grateful.B. Proud.C. Confident.D. Puzzled.6.What does the underlined word "savored" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？______A. Controlled totally.B. Enjoyed completely.C. Spent together.D. Led crazily.7.What does the author call on us to do in the last paragraph？______A. Give children more love.B. Pay more attention to the deer.C. Get close to nature and live a happier life.D. Take things slowly and appreciate life more fully.Reading and writing poetry is a very personal experience. Poets use language as a way of expressing their feelings. Poems can describe the beauty of nature, a person, a dream or a memorable event. Most people have tried writing poetry at some time. For children, it is a good way to explore language and have fun with words as well as to express themselves.But teachers and psychologists have found another use for poetry as a form of therapy （疗法）to help people with problems. Writing poetry can help people deal with changes in their lives, death or feelings of sadness, drug or alcohol problems or serious illness. By writing down your feelings, you can learn to understand yourself better and give yourself a voice if you feel you are being ignored. Poem might be a way of telling someone something when you do not feel able to talk about it face to face. And just because people are ill or having difficulties in their lives, it doesn't mean they have lost their sense of humor. Poems written as therapy can be funny too, as laughter is also considered to be very good medicine.Students at a special school in Dudley, in England, read and write poems every day. Some of the poems they write are very good, but their reason for writing is not just to be creative. All of them have problems. Some of them have long-term medical conditions, such as cancer, while others have personality disorders or psychological problems. By writing poems students are growing in self-confidence. The poems provide a channel through which they can communicate with the world,and express their feelings. They also help them to recognize and explore their problems and to develop a positive attitude to life.But the poems are helping other people, too. The school has collected some of the students' poems and published them in a book which is being sold to raise funds for a local hospital. The book has proved very popular, giving students a sense of motivation and achievement.8.How can poetry work as therapy？______A. By solving physical problems.B. By staying away from humor.C. By communicating face to face.D. By promoting expression.9.What makes the students of the school in Dudley special？______A. They suffer many problems.B. They know many poems.C. They are very confident.D. They are very positive.10.What does the published book mean to the students？______A. They'll get wealthy.B. They'll get inspired.C. They'll become popular psychologists.D. They'll become professional poets.11.What does the passage mainly talk about？______A. The creation of poetry.B. The power of poetry.C. The development of poetry.D. The appreciation of poetry.DWhen Benjamin Cherkasky was in eighth grade, he quit the swim team. It wasn't because he lacked the passion；he just couldn't accept failures in matches.A US therapist （治疗专家）who researches perfectionism at Northwestern University realized years later what had happened. Cherkasky's perfectionism was creating unrealistic standards. Unable to meet them, he quit."My perfectionism contributed to very high expectations, and that caused real suffering," he said.Cherkasky is not alone in feeling that perfectionism can cause anxiety. So many millennials （千禧一代）suffer from the ills of perfectionism that psychologists are issuing warnings and schools are pointing up the need to accept failure.Northwestern had held several lectures that offered tips on how students could deal with a perfectionism problem.Jessica Rohlfing Pryor, a psychologist leading the events, said every generation is a sponge （海绵）for the messages it receives. "Millennials, more than any other generation in American society, are receiving clear messages around achieving," she said. "There's an absence of messaging that trying your hardest is still OK."Researchers also mentioned that social media adds comparative pressure,along with the drive to earn money and achieve career goals. Perfectionists often create even higher goals,which can lead to a higher risk of failure.In college, Cherkasky found himself surrounded by so many intelligent people that he felt he should have been achieving a higher level than he was. "It makes you feel kind of crazy," he said.This type of thinking can lead people to putting in less effort, which, as they fall behind, can create more anxiety. "It makes people feel kind of isolated." And that, Cherkasky added, "cancause students to move away from their school".Northwestern is not the only school eager to help students.Brown University includes perfectionism in its advising services, asking students if they ever feel that what they achieve isn't good enough.12.What was the real factor for Cherkasky to quit the swim team？______A. Little passion.B. Frequent matches.C. High expectations.D. Changeable standards.13.Why do researchers think millennials suffer more from perfectionism？______A. They own the same social goal.B. They go for success with little effort.C. They're forced to accept failure.D. They're troubled by achieving more.14.What advice can be good for perfectionists from the text？______A. Avoiding social media.B. Lowering their risk of failure.C. Doing their best is good enough.D. Giving up school is acceptable.15.What can be a suitable title for the text？______A. Battling PerfectionismB. Tolerating PerfectionismC. Experiencing FailureD. Enjoying Achievement二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）A "gap year" is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university, or before a postgraduate course. （1）______ That helps young people with useful learning experiences, new skills and makes them more independent.

2021年泸州市高级中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案
2021年泸州市高级中学高三英语一模试卷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AIn the age of social distancing, using robots for some health care interactions is a promising way to reduce in-person contact between health care workers and sick patients. However, a key question is how patients will react to a robot entering the room. Researchers from MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital recently set out to answer that question.In a study, the team found that a large majority of patients reported that interacting with a health care provider through a video screen fixed on a robot was similar to an in-person interaction with a health care worker.“We’re working on robots that can help provide care to ensure the safety of the patient and the health care workforce. The results of this study give us some confidence that people are ready and willing to join us. In a larger online survey carried out nationwide, we also found that a majority of respondents were open to having robots perform small tasks such as taking a nose swab (拭子).” says Giovanni Traverso, an MIT assistant professor and the senior author of the study.After the COVID-19 pandemic began early last year, Traverso and his colleagues turned their attention toward new strategies to reduce interactions between potentially sick patients and health care workers. To that end, they created a mobile robot that could interact with patients as they waited in the emergency department. The robots were equipped with sensors that allow them to measure vital signs, including skin temperature, breathing rate, and pulse(脉搏) rate. The robots also carried an iPad for remote video communication with a health care provider.The study suggests that it could be worthwhile to develop robots that can perform tasks that currently require a lot of human effort, such as turning a patient over in bed. These days, turning COVID-19 patients onto their stomachs requires several people. Doing Covid-19 tests is another task that takes a lot of time and effort from health care workers, who could be arranged for other tasks if robots could help.1. Why did the researchers from MIT and BWH carry out the studies?A. To shorten the social distance between doctors and patients.B. To figure out the response of patients to robotic doctors.C. To reduce the risk of being infected with coronavirus.D. To ensure the safety of patients during the pandemic.2. What could be learned from the study?A. Robots are not welcomed by patients.B. Robots will soon replace doctors.C. Robots may help to deal with Covid-19 patients.D. Robots can operate on different patients.3. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. StrengthsAnd Weaknesses In Robot CareB. The Robotic Doctor Will See You NowC. The Robots Speed Up COVID-19 TestingD. The Development Of Robots In HospitalsBMany teens may feel anxious sometimes. It’s the kind of nervousness that makes you bite your nails before a big test. We spend more time online than we should. We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media. Young people are developing a false view of life.On the screen, we see what people want to show us. People usually only post photos where they are looking their best. They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time. No one seems sad or lonely. In short, life isfabulous. But sooner or later, our young people compare their real life to it. They find that theirs doesn’t seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students. It’s reported that a lot more college students feel ―overwhelming anxiety. The percentage jumped from 50% in 2011 to 62% in 2016. Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country. It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.Certainly, we can’t blame it on social media alone. We expect toomuch from our children and a lot of these expectations aren’t reasonable. Their schedules are packed with sports, clubs and homework. They don’t have enough free time. We want our children to succeed, and we don’t care how much it costs.As parents, we must have more balance. On one hand, we push too hard, and on the other hand, we make life too easy for children. We shouldn’t and can’t promise our children that they will always be happy. We shouldn’t try to protect them from the problems of everyday life. Let them solve the problems in person.4. What is the text mainly about?A. What causes teens’ nervousness.B. How to deal with teens’ anxiety.C. What a view of life means to people.D. How to treat social media appropriately.5. What does the underlined word “fabulous” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Wonderful.B. Encouraging.C. Anxious.D. Doubtful.6. Why does the author mention the numbers in paragraph 3?A. To draw teachers’ attention.B. To show teachers’ mental problems.C. To present the seriousness of teens’ anxiety.D. To show adults have more problems than teens.7.

Allow them to solve their own problems in life.CSophie became friends with the gray squirrels during her first week atPennState, after spotting them running around and wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.Sophie tried bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internetsensation.Growing up in a neighborhood outside ofState College, Sophie was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn't interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice, because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said, “I am a lot more outgoing.”And in case you're wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they'll grab it. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campusand invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.This year, Sophie is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Sophie plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.8.

What do you think of Sophie?A. Tolerant and capable.B. Sociable and aggressive.C. Patient and caring.D. Indifferent and appreciative.DMy first week working in a restaurant, one of the servers said something that stuck with me: Everyone should work in a restaurant for at least a year. At the time, I didn't get it, but I took the advice to heart and worked in restaurants on and off for the next eight years. Before realizing it, I mastered many important skills, one of which is communication skill.When I was little, I was so shy that I used to hide behind my mom whenever someone spoke to me. And when I first started in restaurants, I had two personalities: Restaurant Lizzy and Home Lizzy. It was easier to pretend to be a different person while at work, since it was so different from who I actually was. But gradually, the skills I learned working in restaurants helped Home Lizzy come out of her shell in the real world.When you work in a restaurant, you don't have the luxury of hiding behind your parents to avoid talking to people. I'm still 110% an introvert, but restaurant work helped me communicate. Working in a restaurant not onlyhelped me speak clearly, deliberately and directly but also taught me how to talk about almost everything. Some guests don't want their servers to interact too much with them, and that's fine. But some sit at the bar simply to chat with you. You learn how to judge your guests' level of interest in communicating with you, and how to exit a conversation at the appropriate time.My restaurant work is something that I'm most proud of and I know I wouldn't be the person I am today without those eight years of experience. If you're still on the fence about working in a restaurant for that long, start with one year. I doubt that you'll look back.12. What did the writer think of the server's words?A. Impressive.B.

What message does the writer try to convey in this passage?A. A strong-willed soul can reach his goal.B. Things are difficult before they are easy.C. Communication skills advance your career.D. Restaurantwork helps to achieve a better self.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。
