ABermuda, the island known for its pink-sand beaches, blue waters, and year-round warm weather, has been announced the Official Sponsor of the U．S. Open. It's a fitting collaboration(协作), given the island's reputation as a destination for travelers in search of perfect adventures—just a ninety-minute flight from New York City. Lesser known, however, is that the long history of American tennis was introduced by this attractive Atlantic island.Nearly a hundred and fifty years ago, the New York celebrity Mary Ewing Outerbridge sailed for days to vacation on this quiet island. She watched, fascinated, as some British soldiers stationed there played tennis, although a version different from one we know today. The courts in Bermuda were shaped like hourglasses, the net was also higher, and a number of the rules were different.Mary became fascinated watching the ball flying back and forth, and ended up purchasing a kit containing all the materials needed to bring the sport home to Staten Island. Using a hand-drawn diagram, she laid out a court at her brother's cricket club, where the sport caught on among members. From there, the game's popularity quickly grew, leading to standardized rules and regulations—and then, in 1880, to the first U．S. tennis championship.In only a few years, Mary's unexpected souvenir from her Bermuda trip helped set a national tradition: today, nearly eighteen million people in the US play the sport, from the public-tennis-court games in many cities to the annual U．S. Open, in NYC. Mary's role in bringing tennis from Bermuda to America has earned her a place in the International Tennis Hall of Fame.It only serves to enhance the sport's appeal to learn that every swing of the racket in the US can be traced backto Bermuda, where island adventures still wait for all travelers—tennis lovers included. You're welcome!()21. What can we learn about Bermuda?A. It is distant from New York City.B. It is friendly to adventure seekers.C. It is unfit to sponsor the U．S. Open.D. It is better known for being the origin of tennis.()22. Which of the following is Mary's contribution to American tennis?A. She held the first U．S. tennis championship.B. She made the game become world famous.C. She designed the first tennis court in the US.D. She set standard rules and regulations of the game.()23. What is the real purpose of this passage?A. To introduce the founder of American tennis.B. To introduce the history of American tennis.C. To attract more people to enjoy the sport.D. To attract more people to tour Bermuda.BI took a job at a vet (兽医) clinic almost five decades ago. As an enthusiastic animal lover, I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn't have to assist with any wounded animals. I couldn't bear to see any creature in pain.At the end of my first week, we were closing the office for the day when a young man ran up to us holding a severely injured Doberman pinscher puppy(杜宾幼犬) in his arms and begging us to save his life. The four-month-old pup had been hit by a car.The doctor and I ran back into the operating room. The only place the skin was still attached to this poor little animal's body was around one shoulder. The vet worked tirelessly for what seemed like hours, sewing him back together again. That was the easy part. The puppy had broken multiple bones, including his spine(脊椎) . If he survived the next few days, we were quite sure he would never walk again.That day forever changed my life. I became the vet's assistant in all things medical. One of my first jobs was to give that Doberman puppy daily physical therapy. I remember moving his tiny legs to try to keep his muscles from weakening.Weeks went by until one day, I felt this little fighter push back ever so slightly. And he continued to push back till he could finally use his legs.Fast-forward about a year. I walked into the clinic's crowded waiting room and called the name of the next client. Suddenly, a huge Doberman who had been standing quietly with his owner on the opposite side of the room broke loose and dashed toward me. I found myself pinned against the wall with this magnificent dog standing on his hind legs, his front paws on my shoulders, washing my face with abundant and joyful kisses!I still tear up in amazement at the display of love and gratitude the dog had for me that day all those years ago.()24. Which was the possible position the author took originally at the clinic?A. A medical assistant.B. A professional vet.C. An enthusiastic volunteer.D. A regular receptionist.()25. How did the author help the dog?A. She sewed his wounds.B. She fixed his spine.C. She helped him to recover.D. She taught him to walk.()26. What can we infer about the dog?A. He struggled to be on his feet.B. He liked to lick people's faces.C. He got well immediately.D. He got fierce afterwards.()27. What is the best title of this passage?A. A loving vetB. A lucky dogC. A grateful patientD. A life-changing storyCThe driver who cuts you off in traffic. The neighbors who don't pick up after their dog. Situations such as these get our hearts racing and send our stress levels skyrocketing. Anger isn't a pleasant feeling. Some of us __bottle__up__the emotion, while others explode in a wild rage(狂怒). Both habits do considerable harm to our bodies, our minds, and our relationships.“Anger may feel uncomfortable and a lot of people think they have to get rid of their anger，” says Patrick Keelan, a registered psychologist in Calgary, Alberta. “But anger is an emotion built into us to signal that something needs to be addressed. When we take notice of that signal and actually wrestle with the problem instead of turning a blind eye to it, we're usually much better for it.”Unfortunately, many of us have been conditioned to keep our emotions hidden. Increasingly, research is suggesting that this can have long-term effects on our health. Investigators at the University of Rochester noticed that people who contain their emotions tend to live shorter lives. When we're angry, stress hormones are released, which can make us more likely to develop a wide range of diseases, including diabetes, depression, immune-related conditions.Is it better, then, to scream and howl whenever something makes you mad? That's probably the reason why“rage rooms” have popped up in many American cities, where folks are invited to let steam off by violently smashing(打碎) stuff in a“safe” environment. However, the research indicates that when people display anger aggressively, it can actually increase the intensity of the anger—and increase the likelihood of aggressive actions in the future. It doesn't take much imagination to predict how such behavior can affect your relationship with your spouse, your kids, or your colleagues. It also hurts your health. A large 2016 study at McMaster University found that people are more than twice as likely to have a heart attack after an angry explosion.If we shouldn't bottle up our angry feelings but aggressive behavior isn't healthy either, how should we handle things that tick us off? It's the extreme highs and lows that cause the damage. If you're able to apply techniques that smooth out some of those peaks and valleys, you can have a gentler ride.()28. What does the underlined phrase “bottle up” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Build up.B. Hold back.C. Let off.D. Bring out.()29. What does Patrick Keelan think of anger?A. Uncomfortable and avoidable.B. Terrible and threatening.C. Confusing and complex.D. Normal and natural.()30. What is the consequence of displaying anger aggressively?A. It leads to people's depression.B. It warns people against violence.C. It adds to people's anger.D. It helps people to calm down.()31. What will be talked about if the passage is continued?A. Possible causes of anger.B. Tips on handling anger.C. Possible harm of anger.D. Tips on avoiding anger.DAlexa is Amazon's cloud-based voice service available on hundreds of millions of devices from Amazon and third-party device manufacturers. With Alexa, you can build natural voice experiences that offer customers a way to interact with the technology they use every day.Alexa is always eavesdropping(窃听). (So are Siri, Google Assistant, and any other virtual assistant you invite into your home.) This is and isn't as horrible as it sounds. Although it's true that the device can hear everything you say within range of its microphones, it is listening for its wake word before it starts recording. Once it hears that—“Alexa” is the default(默认), but there are other options—everything in the following few seconds is considered to be a command or a request and is sent to (and stored on) servers in the cloud, where the correct response is triggered. Think of a smart speaker like a dog: It's always listening, but it understands only “cookie”“walk” or “Buddy”. Everything else goes right over its head.Every time Alexa hears a command, Amazon—its parent company—has just learned something about you. Maybe the company learned only that you like to listen to the Police, or that you like funny jokes, or that you turn your lights off at 11 p．m. every night. If y ou were to say “Alexa, where should I bury the body？” you're not going to have the police showing up at your door. (I know because I've tried it.)Alexa does make mistakes. Sometimes this can be funny, such as when Alexa hears its wake word in a TV show. Other times it's more serious, including an instance in 2018 when Alexa mistakenly sent an entire private conversation to a random person's Echo device. Occasionally there are even humans listening to your request for weather reports or trying to figure out what you meant when you added “mangosteens” to your shopping list. Sound disturbing? You likely already agreed to it in the app's terms of use when you installed the device.What bits of privacy are you willing to sacrifice for the convenience provided by a smart speaker? If you trust that Amazon's intentions are no more immoral than getting a better idea of what you want to buy on Prime Day, then you have your answer. If you worry about your private information falling into the hands of the wrong people,then you have another answer.()32. Why does the author compare smart speakers to dogs?A. To show smart speakers are life companions like dogs.B. To show smart speakers are sensitive to users' commands.C. To show smart speakers are woken by specific words.D. To show wake words for smart speakers are different.()33. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The tech company knows less than users imagine.B. The tech company is spying on users' everyday life.C. The tech company turns a blind eye to some crimes.D. The tech company is interested in users' music taste.()34. Which of the following best describes Alexa?A. All-round.B. Imperfect.C. Funny.D. Immoral.()35. What does the author think of using smart speakers?A. It is a matter of opinion.B. Privacy is a high price to pay.C. It is part and parcel of life.D. Convenience always comes first.第一节21～25BCDDC26～30ACBDC31～35BCABA江苏省南通市2020～2021学年度第一学期高三期中学情检测试卷英语第一节（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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项, 并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

“I hate them! I really hate them！” shouted Tom angrily.Tara and Mike looked at their friend. They couldn't believe it. He was really furious!“Andy is OK now，” said Tara, trying to calm Tom down.The three friends were in the park after school. They were talking about their friend Andy. Andy was the youngest in the class and today two bullies(欺凌者) pushed him against a locker and hurt him. Andy fell and cut his head. Now he has five stitches(缝针) in his forehead.Their school was a nice, peaceful place until Brian and Mark arrived a few months ago. Brian and Mark were bullies and their favorite trouble spot was the locker room. That morning their victim was Andy, maybe because he was smaller and younger than everyone else in the class.The teachers knew that there were some bullying incidents at school. But most kids didn't want to report the incidents. So bullying at their school wasn't an “official” problem.During the incident Andy cut his head. As soon as the bullies saw the blood, they disappeared. Andy called for help and a teacher came and took him straight to the hospital. But Andy didn't tell the teacher about the bullies. When the head teacher asked him, he simply said，“I fell and cut my head.”“Brian and Mark must pay！” repeated Tom. He was walking around in circles and hitting the palm of his left hand with his right fist.“Can't you see? You are behaving like the bullies，” Tara said sadly. Mike looked at Tom, too, and he knew Tom very well. Tom hated violence.“Bullying is not cool，” said Mike, waving his arms like he was dancing.“We have to tell someone about this，” said Tara.“Andy was hurt.”But right now, Tom had other things on his mind. He not only hated the bullies but also hated violence. He was in a dilemma—he wanted to fight Brian and Mark but he didn't want to fight with the bullies by violence.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150 左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

With Alexa, you can build natural voice experiences that offer customers a way to interact with the technology they use every day.Alexa is always eavesdropping(窃听). (So are Siri, Google Assistant, and any other virtual assistant you invite into your home.) This is and isn't as horrible as it sounds. Although it's true that the device can hear everything you say within range of its microphones, it is listening for its wake word before it starts recording. Once it hears that—“Alexa” is the default(默认), but there are other options—everything in the following few seconds is considered to be a command or a request and is sent to (and stored on) servers in the cloud, where the correct response is triggered. Think of a smart speaker like a dog: It's always listening, but it understands only “cookie”“walk” or “Buddy”. Everything else goes right over its head.Every time Alexa hears a command, Amazon—its parent company—has just learned something about you. Maybe the company learned only that you like to listen to the Police, or that you like funny jokes, or that you turn your lights off at 11 p．m. every night. If y ou were to say “Alexa, where should I bury the body？” you're not going to have the police showing up at your door. (I know because I've tried it.)Alexa does make mistakes. Sometimes this can be funny, such as when Alexa hears its wake word in a TV show. Other times it's more serious, including an instance in 2018 when Alexa mistakenly sent an entire private conversation to a random person's Echo device. Occasionally there are even humans listening to your request for weather reports or trying to figure out what you meant when you added “mangosteens” to your shopping list. Sound disturbing? You likely already agreed to it in the app's terms of use when you installed the device.What bits of privacy are you willing to sacrifice for the convenience provided by a smart speaker? If you trust that Amazon's intentions are no more immoral than getting a better idea of what you want to buy on Prime Day, then you have your answer. If you worry about your private information falling into the hands of the wrong people,then you have another answer.()32. Why does the author compare smart speakers to dogs?A. To show smart speakers are life companions like dogs.B. To show smart speakers are sensitive to users' commands.C. To show smart speakers are woken by specific words.D. To show wake words for smart speakers are different.()33. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The tech company knows less than users imagine.B. The tech company is spying on users' everyday life.C. The tech company turns a blind eye to some crimes.D. The tech company is interested in users' music taste.()34. Which of the following best describes Alexa?A. All-round.B. Imperfect.C. Funny.D. Immoral.()35. What does the author think of using smart speakers?A. It is a matter of opinion.B. Privacy is a high price to pay.C. It is part and parcel of life.D. Convenience always comes first.第一节21～25BCDDC26～30ACBDC31～35BCABA江苏省南通市2020～2021学年度第一学期高三期中学情检测试卷英语第一节（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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项, 并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
