2020年浙江省杭州市高三(下)期中英语试卷
期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10 小题，共25.0 分）AMany of us just laugh it away when they are told incredible( 难以置信的 ) stories about other people, but I have a deep interest in these stories and I prefer to believe they are true. Here's one I collected from a total stranger."Well, I was 11 when my family arrived at Fern Lake overlooking Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was so beautiful to look miles across the Rockies and thousands of feet below into the valley. My parents were busy getting lunch out of the trunk so I climbedover the wooden fence to get closer to the cliff edge in the hope that I wouldn't miss any beautiful sight down there.I started down a little hill but soon started sliding on loose pebble rocks( 鹅卵石 ). I fell on my back, but kept going faster and faster to what seemed the edge of the world (a 2,000 foot drop). In seconds I knew I was going to die. My feet and legs went first over the edge at a high speed. Then suddenly I felt two hands push hard on my chest and stopped me dead. My heart was racing and I slowly inched my body back to where I finally could make it back up the hill.My father was waiting there and screaming at me for doing such a dangerous stunt( 特技 ). I tried to tell him and my mom about the hands that held me back, but to this day they don't believe me. They thought I was just trying to get out of trouble with a made-up story."We parted ways, but I assured her that I believed every word of her story. I could see a little surprise and happiness on her face.That's why I always ask people to share their miracles( 奇观 ). Each real story makes mydays full of hope and gratefulness.1.The girl got closer to the cliff edge to _______.A. take an adventureB. better enjoy the viewC. collect pebble rocksD. play a joke on her parents2.In the writer's eyes, the girl _______.A.made up an exciting storyB.reached the bottom of the valleyC.enjoyed doing dangerous stuntsD.was saved by a magical force3.The writer is interested in people's miracle stories because they _______.A.are often told in an amusing wayB.seem unbelievable but actually trueC.prove that life is full of miraclesD.help him stay positive about lifeBPeople like to post their selfies ( 自摄影 ) on social media. To know more about it, scientistsat Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism (自恋 ), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor fromSyracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to "work towards satisfying their own vanity." Those "likes" under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel "peer( 伙伴 ) pressure" to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen. "Anyway, it shouldn't be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm," Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. But men who post selfies showed more of a need to be seen as popular than women who posted selfies.Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of "clicking like". On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos —even if they click "like".4.What is the research mainly about?A.The ways of making people look better in selfies.B.The reasons for people posting selfies on social media.C.The differences between men and women in posting selfies.D.The connections between posting selfies and mental health.5.What does the word "vanity" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.A deep desire to know about something.B.A special need to be more popular.C.Too much pride in one's own appearance.D.Strong determination to improve oneself.6.What is Chock's attitude towards selfie posting?A. Ambiguous.B. Cautious.C. Disapproving.D. Supportive.7.From the last paragraph, we know that the older generations showed their photosto friends and family ______.A.to win praise from viewers C. to improve relationshipsB.D.to show off their camerasto share good moments CSudoku （数独） puzzles give your brain a hard time： Every number from 1 to 9 must appear in each of the nine horizontal（横向的）rows ， in each of the nine vertical columns and in each of the nine boxes．For many of us ， this can be a reason for a headache， but in the very rare case of a German man， a Sudoku puzzle even caused seizures （痉挛）．In a new case study from the University of Munich ， published in the Journal of the American Medical Association ， Dr ． Berend Feddersen introduces a student who was 25 years old when he was buried by a snow slide during a ski tour ． For 15 minutes， he didn't get enough oxygen ， which severely damaged certain parts of his brain ． "He had to receive treatment on the scene． Luckily he survived ， " says Feddersen， the author of the study ．Weeks after the accident， when the young man was ready for recovery treatment， something bizarre happened： When the patient solved Sudoku puzzles， he suddenly had seizures of hisleft arm - something the medical world hadn't seen before ．Feddersen explains： "In order to solve a Sudoku ， the patient used parts of his brain which are responsible for vision-space tasks ． But exactly those brain parts had been damaged in the accident and then caused the seizures once they were used． "This particular case is an example of what doctors call reflex epilepsy （反射性癫痫），according to Dr ． Jacqueline French， professor from NYU Langone School ofMedicine ． "You have to have an injury of your brain first ， and then seizures like that can happen， " she says．In the meantime， the patient from the case study stopped solving Sudoku puzzles forever and has been seizure-free for more than five years ． "Fortunately ， he can do crossword puzzles． He never had problems with those ， " Feddersen says．8.In the accident， the student ______ ．A.began to experience seizures in his left armB.got the vision-space part of his brain damagedC.had to be sent to hospital as soon as possibleD.found his Sudoku ability seriously weakened9. It can be learned from the text that ______．A.the man cannot complete crossword puzzles nowB.it is Sudoku playing that brings about his seizuresC.the man's symptoms are common and widely observedD.the seizures cause much trouble to the man's daily life10.This text can be best described as ______ ．A. a medical testB. a warning to skiersC. a news reportD. a research paper二、阅读七选五（本大题共 5 小题，共10.0 分）Choosing the right college can be challenging ， but knowing where to start can be even more challenging ． (1) Here are the tips I wish someone would have told me before I chose which college to attend ．First things first ， you need to decide what you want to major in ． This will be the most important part of the process ， because it will determine what career you will choose after college ． This decision is not the end ， you can definitely change majors once you're in college ． (2)Next ， it's time to decide if you want to stay close to your hometown or go away forcollege ． Both options have their own pros and cons ． These pros and cons can vary from money and how much financial aid the college will provide you ， job success after graduation，opportunities the college offers such as study abroad or internships ， to how many people attend the college ． (3)(4)Would you mind living in the area surrounding the campus ？ Do they have a good program for your major ？ Does the college have big or small classes， which would you prefer ？ How is the college ranked ？Does ranking matter to you ？Is the campus big or small ？Which would you prefer ？ Does the school feel like a good personal fit ？Make sure to also do research on alumni （校友）， current students and professors who are present on the different campuses of the colleges you are inquiring about ． It's always good to do great research than none at all and pick a college you know nothing about and regret your decision in the end ． And if this happens ， you'll end up transferring （转学） to anothercollege ， where you'll definitely do your research to not have the same thing happen again． (5) Now that you have all this newfound knowledge on how to choose a college ， I hope you are ready to start the process! Good luck!A ． No worries ， I am here to help you through the process ．B ． There's no excuse for not visiting the colleges in your local area ．C． Other things to consider when choosing a college are as follows ．D ． You can register for its online college fair at campuslife．com．E． These are all things to take into consideration when choosing a college ．F． But note that changing majors can affect how long it will take you to graduate．G． So you might as well get all the research done now ， and save yourself both time and money．11.

Someday, though, it could use real-time information sent by the car. “They couldbroadcast live content through a network in pop-up theaters around the world,” Ludden said. Say you want to experience the true stress of a batter being up against major-league baseball pitcher. “You can have a heartbeat added to the sensation on the seat and then you can feel it, boom, boom,” Maheu explained. “When he swings and hits the ball, you can have an impact.”One day, fans around the world could physically experience every game from their favorite player in real time. Ludden said that current and near-future technology could create “augmented stadiums” for live audiences. Panasonic launched its “Smart Venue” plans which included the overlaying of graphics, advertisements, player statistics and replays on the field of play at a pro football game. “If you are seated in the cheap seats, you can see this really useful.” “Fans may someday join in stadium wide games, using the field as a virtual gaming platform,” Ludden added.12.

The wind howls at 400 miles an hour, faster than a hurricane. And it's colder than the North Pole. Named the Great Red Spot, this storm is on Jupiter, the largest planet that goes around the Sun. The storm is shrinking. No one knows why—or what it will do next.Astronomers discovered the Great Red Spot by looking at Jupiter through telescopes. The spot, once estimated to be 25,500 miles across, was just 10,250 miles wide when the Hubble Space Telescope last observed it. "It's at the smallest size that we've ever seen." says Dr. Amy Simon, an astronomer who studies the storm. It's also changing shape, looking more like a circle than its usual oval.Jupiter differs greatly from Earth. It's made mostly of hydrogen and helium（氦）. But most of the hydrogen and helium on Jupiter is not in the form of gas. Instead, Jupiter's great gravity squeezes the hydrogen and helium, turning most of these elements into a liquid. Only the outer part of Jupiter is gas. And that's where the Great Red Spot is. No one knows why the Great Red Spot is red. Like Jupiter's air, the spot is made mostly of hydrogen and helium gases. But they have no color. So something else must color the spot red.Mysteries abound about the spot, such as what powers it and why it is so red. Now another one arises. The Great Red Spot has lasted longer than any storm on Earth. On Earth, hurricanes weaken when they move from sea to land, and when they move north or south. Neither of these things happens on Jupiter. Yet the storm is shrinking. "Could it disappear?" asks Dr. Simon. "Would I bet money on it one way or the other? Probably not."（1）What do we learn about the Great Red Spot?A.It is getting smaller and rounder.B.It is getting colder and faster.C.It is getting higher and more oval.D.It is getting redder and lighter.（2）What can we learn about Jupiter from this article?A.It is bigger than the Sun.B.It has slight gravity.C.It contains liquid and gas.D.It usually looks red.（3）What does the underlined word"abound" mean in the last paragraph?A.Get solved finally.B.Go missing abruptly.C.Exist numerously.D.Decrease gradually.（4）What is Dr. Simon's attitude towards the disappearance of the Great Red Spot?A.Hopeful.B.Confident.C.Worried.D.Doubtful.。
