高三英语期末联考试卷
高三英语期末联考试卷 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、C和D)，选出选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Each year on February 2nd, there is a special festival called Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日 )’ forecasting event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. When it comes, people from around the world, including 5,000 in the small town today, watch this tongue-twisting(发饶舌的) small town for a sign from one groundhog that supposedly predicts when that year’ s spring will arrive. If it’s a cloudy day outside when the groundhog pops from its cave, then spring will arrive early that year. However, if it is sunny outside, the groundhog will supposedly be scared by its own shadow, hiding underground for six more weeks of cold weather. Of course, Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction is no more able to guarantee the extended forecast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the National Climate Data Center found that Phil’s predictions are more often wrong than right. Philis is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs. Nine of the years’ predictions were unavailable, according to ABC. The holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray. Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right. Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his “wife” Phyllis. Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray’s character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one’s routines. 21.The underlined word “pops” means “ ”. A. escapesB. hidesC. increasesD. appears 22.The reason why Phil’s predictions aren’t pleasing is that_____________. A. some of the predictions were unavailable B. Phil wants to do that for fun C. Phil likes to make unpleasant predictions D. he has predicted more late springs 23.How does Punxsutawney Phil become a celebrity? A. By an accident. B. From people’s life improving. C. By his own attractive force D. From much money raised by the town. 24. Which does this passage mainly talk about? A. The National Climate Data Center B. Groundhog Day weather forecasting C. A tongue-twisting small town D. A German tradition B Chinese Language and Culture Day Camp July 25-29, 2014 Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. --- 3:30 p. m.

He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different countries, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel. “We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U. S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his.,choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”4. Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2?A. Fall asleep.B. Lose heart.C. Turn a blind eye.D. Lend a hand.5. What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids?A. To recycle waste plastics.B. To make instructive videos.C. To spread marine knowledge.D. To appeal for ocean protection.6. Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels?A. Sympathetic and devoted.B. Initiative and talented.C. Ambitious and humorous.D. Determined and modest.7. What does Cash Daniels story imply?A. Passion fuels dreams.B. Great minds think alike.C. Helping others is of great fun.D. Actions speak louder than words.CTo reduce the carbon emissions from passenger jets and long-haul trucks, a vast volume of soy-based renewable fuel will be needed. To produce it, American farmers could ruin existing cornfields to clear space, plant millions of additional acres of soybeans and shut down all soybean exports. Researchers at startups and biotech giants alike have found ways to create a new kind of soybeans through genetic recombination that generates more oil.One of the startups, ZeaKal Inc., funded in part by seed giant Corteva Inc., plans to introduce its first batch of high-oil seeds for commercial planting in 2024. Scientists have tricked the plant into sustaining photosynthesis for longer with genetic recombination, ultimately producing more oil as well as more protein.Companies are racing to build more capacity to process soy, a critical component for expanding green fuelsupplies. Tax credits make companies in the transportation industry switch to fuel with lower carbon emission.S&P Global sees domestic demand for renewable biofuel reaching 4 billion gallons in 2030, up from around 2.7 billion this year. It projects that the use of sustainable aviation fuel will total 1.7 billion gallons annually by the end of the decade, compared with just 182 million gallons a year now.Despite the bullish predictions, the soy-based transportation fuel market is still a drop in the bucket for the fuel industry. And even if the new breed of high-oil seeds takes off, widespread adoption will take time. Farmers may be reluctant to become early adopters of a technology that hasn’t yet proven its benefits, especially if the oil content comes at the expense of existing genetic recombinations that improve disease or pest resistance.Chicken producer Perdue Farms Inc. has signed a deal with Zeakal, agreeing to pay farmers a higher price for harvested supplies of the new variety, which is good for chicken feed because of its higher protein levels. If large oil companies follow suit, the soybean market might never look the same. “We could have an opportunity for the oil component of soybeans to actually become more important in some markets than the protein aspect,” says Mike Dillon, vice president of ZeaKal, “That’s a very dramatic shift.”8. How did researchers plan to produce more oil?A. By planting more soybeans.B. By banning soybean exports.C. By fertilizing soybean fields.D. By engineering soybean genes.9. What does the author want to show by mentioning the figure in paragraph 3?A. The continuous use of the fuel.B. The growing demand for biofuel.C. The serious lack of green fuel supplies.D. The fierce competition between companies.10. Who can change the current biofuel market according to the last paragraph?A. Companies.B. Farmers.C. Scientists.D. Governments11. Which can be the best title of the text?A. Biofuel: A New Way to Cut Down Carbon EmissionsB. Oilier Soybeans: Possible Reliance of the Future FuelC. A Big Shift: From Conventional Soybeans to Altered OnesD. Genetic Modification: A Technology to Breed New SoybeansDWhenever I order food for delivery, I play a little game to guess how many sets of tableware(餐具)the restaurant will provide with my meal. Sometimes restaurants will throw in two, three or four sets for just one order. But I rarely need any tableware at all, and the waste goes into the trash or collects dust in a kitchen drawer.Researchers working with Chinese technology group Alibaba tried a simple approach to this problem. Instead of just wastefully doling out tableware, the company required food-delivery customers in some cities in China to pick how many sets of tableware they wanted to receive.The default (默认设置)was set at zero. The result, published today in the journal Science, was a 638% increase in the share of no-tableware orders. If applied across China, researchers found, the approach would save nearly 22 billion sets of plastic tableware. The study doesn’t cover carbon emissions, but it’s safe to say that the impact would be significant. It struck me as a useful reminder of the many low-hanging fruits across the economy that can cut waste, and emissions.Nudging its customers cost Alibaba nothing more than a few hours of software engineering time and the impact it brought was immense. The concept of nudging comes from the field of behavioral economics known as nudge theory. It suggests that a slight action can encourage good human behavior without the need for policies that limit choice or economic punishment that raises the cost of bad behavior. To nudge customers to eat better, for example, a restaurant might organize its menu by listing healthy options first and bury unhealthy ones at the bottom. More recently, some big companies like Google have also begun to use nudges to advance climate objectives.Behavioral economics broadly, and nudges more specifically, aren’t without controversy. Some might think it assigns consumers responsibility for addressing environmental challenges. But there is another way to look at it. In the absence of necessary policy—and policy is needed一companies can help encourage a widespread shift of consumer behavior.And all of that behavioral change can add up. The International Energy Agency found in 2021 that small behavioral changes in energy consumption such as walking instead of driving and adjusting the thermostat could in total shave off 4% of global emissions. The more that companies can do to facilitate such changes, the better.12. What did Alibaba do with tableware waste?A. It stopped restaurants from handing out tableware.B.

What do the underlined words “low-hanging fruits” mean in paragraph 2?A. Easily accessible things.B. Fast increasing orders.C. Exceptionally tough choices.D. Widely accepted strategies.14. What can we learn about nudge theory from paragraph 3?A. It brings about economic loss.B. It results from consumption policies.C. It indicates small action changes behaviour.D. It implies bad behaviour impacts economy.15What is the main idea of the text?.A. Nudge theory affects behaviors.B. Good behaviors boost economy.C. Nudging helps build a greener world.D. Behavioral economics benefits customers.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

When he was born, his right hand didn’t fully develop, with only tiny fingers at the end of his arm. So he learned to write, eat and carry books with only one hand. Over the years, the 15-year-old lost hope that anything would change.Peralta said on his first day of high school he honestly felt like hiding his hand in his sleeve, so nobody would ever find out. But his classmates, to his surprise, supported him in a way he never expected. The school’s engineering teacher, Jeff Wilkins, came and told him that his fellow students might be able to help.“They ended up offering, ‘We could build your prosthetic (假体的) hand,’ and I never expected it,” he told CBS News. “Like, never in a million years.” Three students used their access to online models of prostheses and a 3D printer to make a plan. After four weeks, their project came to fruition. They used polylactic acid (聚乳酸), a common material in 3D printing that’s also used to make electronic devices, as the hand’s main fabric. They applied another plastic material commonly found in phone shells to make the fingers spread and squeeze objects. And they added a fishing line, so Peralta could fix the hand to his forearm.Bob Cotter, the principal of Hendersonville High School, told the BBC that his students are encouraged to turn concepts “into reality”, adding that Peralta’s new prosthesis is “a proof to the students who care about each other”.Peralta-who grew up learning to do everything with his left hand-was even able to catch a baseball with the prosthetic hand created by his classmates. “When I caught it for the first time, everyone started freaking out.” Peralta said with a smile. “It was the first time I caught a ball with my right hand in my IS years.”4．How did Sergio feel about his hand when he started high school?A．He felt at a loss for it.B．He felt unaffected by itC．He was optimistic about it.D．He was open to accepting it5．What do we know about the prosthesis made by Peralta’s classmates?A．It was finished in four months.B．It could be controlled by a phone.C．Its main material is polylactic acid.D．Its fingers were not flexible enough. 6．What does Peralta’s new prosthesis show according to Bob Cotter?A．The students’ critical thinking.B．The students’ imagination.C．The students’ determination.D．The students’ mutual support. 7．What does the underlined phrase “freaking out” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Feeling panicked.B．Becoming overjoyed.C．Calming down.D．Showing concern.Middle school. For teens and their parents. the two words can arouse anxiety, fear and even horror. Kids are, all of a sudden, really growing up. Their bodies are changing: they’re dropping some of their childhood interests and trying on new ones. Friendships form and are torn apart. Academic expectations grow bigger.But some books-like the novel Curlfriends: New in Town, written and drawn by Sharee Miller-remind us of the many possibilities and excitements that present themselves within those challenging years.The book follows 12-year-old Charlie Harper, beginning her first day of middle school. This is no small change, and in order ta cope. Charlie promises to “completely reinvent” herself. She is tired of letting other people label her and is ready to take control of her own story. What follows is a series of meetings, first with Nola. She introduces Charlie to her lunchtime crew. The girls come together around shared particulars of their lives-homework. girlhood and fashion -even if their differences in tastes and personalities create cracks of uncertainty from time to time.Curlfriends is a delightful book packed with sunny illustrations. It also cuts into the heart of the challenging tensions that are part of this intermediate stage of life. Young teens want to be known and seen by others, but they are also coming to terms with who they are. It can be tricky, for example, to distinguish between the passions and pastimes that your parents picked for you and those you actively care to pursue. It can be difficult to figure out what youlike and what you are like.Curlfriends is also a book about finding one’s passions, responsibilities and independence despite changing situations. It is as much about expressions of self-respect as it is about showing care for others. The one constant in Charlie’s life is her love of drawing. and it’s through art that she figures out how to mark her place in middle school. It’s not all under her control, but, as with good art, sometimes mistakes along the way end up making for the most amazing details.8．What is the central theme explored in Curlfriends: New in Town?A．The challenges of studies during the teenage years.B．The difficulty of making new friends in middle school.C．The transformations and opportunities in growing up.D．The impact of parental expectations on teenagers.9．What does Charlie plan to do in middle school?A．Listen to others more carefully.B．Follow her heart and passions.C．Live up to her parents’ expectations.D．Be more confident and outgoing. 10．What is the tone of the book Curlfriends: New in Town?A．Serious and formal.B．Light-hearted and inspiring.C．Humorous and carefree.D．Cold and indifferent.11．What can be the best title of the text?A．Finding Her Place B．Maintaining Friendships.C．Changing with Times.D．Seeking the Passions.In the summer of 2019, Tomas Quinones was undertaking a seven-day “bikepacking” trip, covering some remote desert in Southern Oregon, US. His trip had been marked with the usual minor troubles. But there had also been those moments of unexpected kindness from strangers.On the last day of his trip, he was riding down a dusty track when he came upon a man lying unconscious on the desert floor. Quinones tried to give him some water with little success. Luckily, he called the emergency rescue team and an ambulance arrived within an hour. “I never had a doubt about what I would do,” he said. Quinones, who’d received some gestures of help over the course of his trip, paid it forward.The odds are, if you’ve spent any time in the wild, you’ll have experienced thesegestures of kindness from strangers or given them yourself too even if they were nothing so dramatic as the aid given by Quinones.So what is it about being outside in nature that makes people want to help others? The first explanation is that in the wild, there may not be any other help. According to the “bystander effect”, the more people who are in the presence of someone needing help, the less likely any of those people are to actually provide it.But another idea is that there is something about nature itself that seems to promote “prosocial” attitudes. As a recent study suggests, exposure to nature can promote feelings of transcendence-a sense of connection to other people, to the world around us and to the universe.When we take adventure into the wild, we are easy to get hurt. And that makes us look at the world differently. So, in the wild, where we lose our normal possessions, surroundings and identities, we seem more willing to go the extra mile for someone. It’s in nature that we can learn new things about humanity.12．What can we know about Tomas Quinones’ trip in 2019?A．He passed on the kindness he’d received.B．He was saved by a fellow traveler.C．He got tost for some time in the desert D．He came across unexpected dangers. 13．Why does the author write about Tomas Quinones’ story?A．To suggest the unstoppable power of nature.B．To highlight the risks of traveling alone.C．To introduce a common phenomenon.D．To question connections between people. 14．What might happen if many people were present when somebody needed help, according to the “bystander effect”?A．They might offer help immediately.B．They might be unwilling to help.C．They might encourage others to help.D．They might blame the person in need. 15．Why are we more likely to help strangers when in the wild, according to the text?A．Exposure to nature boosts our confidence.B．We are more clear-headed in natural environments.C．Fear promotes our desire for connection with nature.D．Feeling small in the wild makes us tend to act big.You may not get enough physical activity throughout the day, especially since sitting stillis required or encouraged in many jobs, at school, and in social situations. But there’sinactive or sedentary (久坐的).What counts as being physically inactive?While there is no strict definition of what can be considered a sedentary lifestyle, researchers have a few different measures to assess what a sedentary lifestyle is. One measure is the time an individual spends seated during waking hours. 17 . Some other researchers label people inactive or sedentary if they take fewer than 5, 000 steps per day.Is physical inactivity dangerous?18 It can also affect the way the body processes fats and sugars in the diet and lead to some weight gain if you aren’t burning enough calories. Over the long term, sedentary lifestyles increase the risk of death from heart discase and cancer.How can you prevent being inactive?Health authorities recommend exercise at a medium level for either 30 minutes a day for five days a week or a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes per week. 19 .

Many people aim to take 10. 000 steps per day, which indicates that you have met your daily physical activity goal. 20 , but the value of being more physically active is worth it for its many benefits.A．Walking is an easy activity to add to your dayB．There are many options for exerciseC．Being physically inactive or sedentary can increase health risksD．In the short term, being inactive can increase depression or anxietyE．Fixing a sedentary lifestyle takes some conscious effort at firstF．Spending four to six waking hours sitting or lying down is considered sedentaryG．Simply walking more or doing household chores positively impacts health二、完形填空I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in mymy friends who were exchanging news in “chat rooms”, all of which I knew nothing about.
