What would be the best title for the text？ ______A. A Letter of ComplaintB. Love Between Daughter and MotherC. The Curing Power of Toilet Papering．D. An Unforgettable Evening in Family YardsA 23-year-old British woman has invented a product she hopes will one day replace single-use plastic．The new product is made by combining fishing waste and algae （水藻）．It could be used to replace plastic bags or containers that people use once and throw away． Lucy Hughes created the material，called MarinaTex，for her final year project at the University．MarinaTex is edible，to put it in another way，it can betasted without danger．Hughes says it is also strong and stable． But unlike plastic， MarinaTex biodegrades （生物降解）in four to six weeks under normal conditions and does not pollute the soil． The inventor said she is concerned about the growing amounts of plastics in ocean waters．She noted one report that there would be more plastic than fish in the world's oceans by the year 2050． The United Nations estimates that 100 million tons of plastic waste has already been left in the oceans．Hughes also was investigating ways to reduce the amount of waste from the fishing industry．The industry produces an estimated 50 million tons of waste worldwide each year， UN officials say．Examining fish parts left over from processing helped to give her the idea for a material that was useful and did no harm to the environment． "Why do we need to have hundreds of man-made polymers （聚合体）when nature has so many already available？" she asked．After months of testing，Hughes produced a strong，flexible sheet that forms at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius． Inventor James Dyson said that MarinaTex is ^stronger， safer and much more sustainable （可持续的）"than plastic．It is also easier to break down．Hughes will receive about ﹩41，000 prize money as the first place winner of the James Dyson Award．She plans to use the money to further develop the product and ways to mass produce it．"Further research and development will ensure that MarinaTex evolves further， and becomes part of a global answer to the abundance of single use plastic waste，" Dyson said．8. What do we know about MarinaTex？ ______A. It is a safe seafood．B. It is a kind of waste．C. It is a new kind of plastic．D. It is a safe material that can replace plastic．9. What does the underlined word "edible" in paragraph 2 mean？ ______A. Useful．B. Eatable．C. Replaceable．D. Delicious．10. What gets Hughes to creat MarinaTex？ ______A. Her concern about the growing amount of plastic in ocean．B. Her occupational habit of trying out new things．C. Her hope to help develop the fishing industry．D. Her desire to win the prize money．11. What can we infer from the last paragrach？ ______A. We need to have hundreds of MarinaTex available．B. Hughes produced MarinaTex without much effort．C. MarinaTex will be a good solution to plastic waste．D. Hughes is the first winner of the James Dyson Award．Britain's got talent--but we're still wasting it． That's the main finding of a new report by researchers from Oxford University．Children of similar cognitive （认知）ability have very different chances of educational success； it still depends on their parents' economic，socio-cultural and educational resources．This contradicts a commonly held view that our education system has developed enough to give everyone a fighting chance． The researchers looked at data from groups of children born in three decades： 1950s， 1970s and 1990s．They found significant evidence of a wastage of talent．Individuals with high levels of cognitive ability but with disadvantages in their social origins are unable to translate their ability intoeducational achievement to the same extent as their more advantaged counterparts （对照组）． The research， funded by the Nuffield Foundation，found that only about half of the difference in educational achievement between children from advantaged and disadvantaged parental backgrounds is due to differences in their cognitive ability．The other half is due to other factors （因素）associated with their backgrounds．"If we compare the educational achievement of children born in the 1990s to those in the late 1950s and early 1970s， we see that parents' economic resources have become a less important factor， but their socio-cultural and educational resources have grown in significance，" says Dr．Bukodi．"That means that your parents' place in society and their own level of education still play a big part in how well you may do．"These experts are now calling for policy-makers to acknowledge that formal qualifications is only one channel for upward mobility （流动性）for high-ability individuals of disadvantaged backgrounds．Dr．Bukodi says，"These findings show that there are limits to how far inequalities of opportunity can be reduced through educational policy alone． Changes in educational policy aren't having the powerful effect we want．"12. What is the main finding of the research？ ______A. We're wasting talent due to education system．B. Children of similar cognitive ability have different chancesof educational success．C. Children's cognitive ability depends on different educational resources．D. Education system has developed enough to give chilidren a fighting chance．13. How does the author mainly develop the text？ ______A. By making a comparison．B. By discussing a result．C. By giving examples．D. By presenting reasons．14. According to Dr．Bukodi，what affects children's educational achievement greatly？ ______A. Children's cognitiveB. Parents' economic resouces．ability．C. Educational policy．D. Parents' socio-cultural and educational backgrounds．15. What is the author's attitude towards the finding of the new report？______A. Favorable．B. Objective．C. Doubtful．D. Negative．二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)Are you crying because you're sad or because something moves you？ It's all okay． Some people try to hold back tears because they are scared it makes them seem weak， which is not a wise practice． Don't try to fight the tears， but let them flow freely，16 ．1．It gives you more supportSometimes people don't understand how much something is botheringyou，17 ． Research carried out in 2018 shows that crying is so-called attachment behavior． This means that crying makespeople want to comfort you and support you．2．18When you cry because something made you sad， the pain is often quite sharp，but you do feel relieved after you cry． That is not that strange．Researchers found out that your body produces oxytocin and endorphins when you cry．These components make people feel good and that's why you experience the sharp pain a little less intense．3．It is said to cause less stress19 ， but researchers are convinced that crying can lessen stress．When you cry，your tears contain a certain concentration of stress hormones （激素）．These stress hormones leave your body when you cry and researchers have developed a theory that you experience less stress after crying because of it．4．It can improve your sightMost people know tears as the drops that pour over your cheeks when you cry，but there is also something called 'basal tears'． This is the liquid that is produced when you blink （眨眼）．It keeps your eyes watery and allows you to see clearly． Sometimes your eyes can be a bit dry，20 ． When you cry，your eyes will be wet for a little．A．It really eases the painB．It can make you farsightedC．which makes you see a little lessD．It is no use crying over spilt milkE．because crying also has four benefitsF．A lot of research still has to be doneG．but they suddenly understand it better when you cry16.

Sometimes* when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth> listen to rock music together andtalk about interests they both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remember his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager. N l would never have said to my mom. 'Hey, the new Weezer album isreally great. How do you like it? "says Ballmer. "There was just a complete gap in taste. 11Music w as not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations» earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.Today , the generation gap has not disappeared , but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust andfriendship that can continue into a dulthood . No wonder greeting cards today carry the message» n To my mother, my best friend. 11But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. "There's still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening, "says Kerrie> a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. "In the middle of that change> there is a lot of confusion among parents. 11Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960sas a turning point, Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic processthat encourages everyone to have a say."My parents were on the 4 before'side of that change > but today's parents♦ the 40-year-olds» were on the 'a代er'side, “explains Mr. Ballmer. "It^ not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”l.What can we learn about Mr. Ballmer in Paragraph 1 ?A. He and Elizabeth both like Weezer.B.He had different interests with his mom.C.He had a bad relationship with his mom.D.He liked talking about music with his mom.2.What does the underlined word"democratic,,probably mean?A. Equal.B. Peaceful.C. Active.D. Considerate.3.The passage is mainly about .A.the problems of parent-child relationshipB.the strategies for parent-child relationshipsC.the development of parent-child relationshipD.the ways for parents to handle parent-child problems BOwning a lovable, cute pet can unquestionably make one*s home life better and obviously > it can affect pet owners^rofessional lives as well. In fact» according to a new survey, people who have owned pets may be more professionally successfuL and this is definitely good news for ambitious pet parents.The survey was conducted by Kelton Global Research for Banfield Pet Hospitah according to Fast Company. The researchers surveyed 857 adults in the United States with a variety of careers, as explained in the survey summary on Banfield's website. Among the C-suite executives (CEOs» etc.) surveyed» 93 percent grew with a pet in their home, with 78 percent claiming that growing up with a pet helped cause their career suceess asan adult. Interestingly, 83 percent of C-suite executives who participated said they grew up with a dog, 59 percent of them said they grew up with a cat, and 37 percent of them said they grew up with another kind of pet. (You're correct these numbers do not add up. It would seem that many of the people interviewed grew up with multiple kinds of pets.)So, how exactly does pet ownership cause career success? Well, according to Banfield's research, executives reported that their pet helped teach them lessons like responsibility, creativityt empathy, discipline, and organization, which have all been valuable in the business world. But what about people who grew up pet-less, but have adopted pets as adults?

2020届安徽省安庆市桐城市高三下学期月考英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题，共20.0分)FIRE plays an important role in maintaining woodland ecosystems but fire introduced to undergrowth too often destroys too much； as humans remain the leading cause of wildfire， the responsibility to minimize the damage done falls on our shoulders． Here are four man-made fires that highlight the mission to fight fire and help to replant the world's forests to counter the effects of deforestation．Heilongjiang Fire-China， 1987One of the largest fires ever to occur in history， the Heilongiiang Fire devoured three million acres of forest in the Greater Khingan Range． Reports attributed the fire's easy spread to dry conditions in the area-but it was excessive logging activity without any effort to let the forest regrow that really let it rage unhindered． 34，000 soldiers were deployed to put the fire out， and 33，000 people were left homeless．Wallow Fire-USA， 2011Still the largest wildfire in Arizona's history， Wallow got its name when two men accidentally started it while camping in the Bear Wallow Wilderness． Their campfire blew out of control and burned through over half a million acres of land， costing ＄72 million to extinguish， anda further ＄37 million to clean up and rebuild after the damage． Morethan 6，000 people had to be evacuated．Uttarakhand fires-India， 2016Throughout the year， man-made fires plagued the pine forests of the Uttarakhand Region． Widespread media coverage eventually spurred the government on to intervene， sending Indian Air Force helicopters to put them out． It's suspected that these increased numbers could be the result of honey or seed collectors trying to frighten off animals．Brandenburg Fire-Germany， 2018Largely thanks to longer， dryer summers than usual-the forested area of Brandenburg， Germany， caught alight． Results of investigation suggested that evidence pointed to arson （纵火）． Brandenburg lost nearly 1，000 acres of its forested land and three nearby villages had to be evacuated． A choking， smoky haze drifted twelve miles to Berlin，causing residents to have to shut themselves in their home．1. The underlined word "devoured" in the second paragraph has theclosest meaning to ______ ．A. detestedB. destroyedC. detachedD. detained2. Which of the following is true about the four fires ？ ______A. The dry condition of the Greater Khingan Range was mainlyresponsible for the rage of Heilongjiang Fire ．B. A total of ＄109 million was poured in putting out the Wallow Fire alone ．C. Uttarakhand fires claimed so many lives that Air Force helicopters came to the rescue ．D. The evidence suggested that the Brandenburg Fire might be caused by someone deliberately ．3. The most suitable title for this passage might be ______ ．A. hot weather setting the globe on fireB. forest blazes caused by human handsC. forest fires consuming peopleand money D. uncontained forest fires raging worldwide"You can use me as a last resort （选择）， and if nobody else volunteers ， then I will do it ．" This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse （长曲棍球） club ． I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule ， or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport ． She may just need a little persuading ． So I try again and tug at the heartstrings ． I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on …At this point the unwilling parent speaks up ， "Alright ． Yes ， I'll do it ．"I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many ． The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule ， sends out emails ， and collects money forend-of-season gifts ． Somewhere along the way ， the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team ． The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season ． Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal ．Still ， most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the seasoncomes to a close． That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more： Connecting to the community（社区） as you freely give your time， money， skills， or services provides a real joy． Volunteering just feels so good．In that sense， I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit．However， if others benefit in the process， and I get some reward too，does it really matter where my motivation lies？4. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l？______A. She is stressed as a single mother．B. She doesn't like playing the lacrosse．C. Volunteering is not in her list．D. Her schedule is too demanding．5. What is the aim when the author mentions some examples in the second paragraph ？ ______A. The author wants to praise the volunteers．B. The author wants to persuade the parent．C. The author wants to promote good deeds．D. The author wants to offer some advice．6. Why do so many people keep doing the volunteer work？ ______A. It gives then a sense of joy．B. It brings them financial benefits．C. It enables them to work hard．D. It helps them keep energetic．In the animal kingdom， weakness can bring about aggression in other animals． This sometimes happens with humans also． But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people． I see it every day when people hold doors for me， pour cream into my coffee， or helpme to put on my coat． And I have discovered that it makes them happy．From my wheelchair experience， I see the best in people， but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily． They don't get to see this soft side of others． Often， we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness， which includes a lot of pretending． But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them．Last month， when I was driving home on a busy highway， I began to feelunwell and drove more slowly than usual． People behind me began to get impatient and angry， with some speeding up alongside me， horning （按喇叭）or even shouting at me． At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving． I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights， I was saying to other drivers， "I have a problem here． I am weak and doing the best I can． And everyone understood． Several times， I saw drivers who wanted to pass． They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic． But instead of getting impatient and angry， they waited， knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak．Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way． But those are few and far between． More often，it would be better if we don't， pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared．7. Why did the author put on the car flashlights？ ______A. He signaled to other drivers for help．B. He wanted to challenge other drivers．C. He wanted to have a better view of the road．D. He was suggesting that he had a problem．8. What is the best title of the passage？ ______A. Weakness sometimes brings out kindness．B. Always be ready to help others．C. We kness reduces our bravery．D. Never show your weakness．There's more fresh water hidden below Earth's surface in underground aquifers （含水层） than any other source besides the ice sheets． That groundwater earns an unshakably important place for rivers worldwide，keeping them running even when droughts bring their waters low．But in recent decades humans have pumped trillions of gallons out of those underground reservoirs． In a new research， water experts and scientists are taking a global look at where groundwater is alreadybeing extracted at such a rate that it has caused water levels to drop so much in rivers and streams that they will slip into the ecological danger zone．Much of that water is being removed much faster than it can berefilled． That has enormous potential consequences for people and crops in areas that don't get enough rain． But far before those impacts emerge，the effects will fiercely hit rivers， streams， and the habitats around them． Hundreds of rivers and streams around the world would become so water-stressed that the entire ecological system would hit a danger point， says Inge de Graaf， the lead author of the research． "We can really consider this ecological effect like a ticking time bomb，" she says． "If we pump the groundwater now， we don't see the impacts until like 10 years further or even longer．"But the severity of the impacts might still be underestimated． As a baseline， they used the global water demand in 2010 and spun their climate model forward to predict how stresses on groundwater systems might develop． But as populations swell and the demand for food rises，those stresses could skyrocket for reasons other than climate change，speeding along the extraction from underground water sources．The effects of over-pumping groundwater take years， if not decades，to become visible．Changes in rain have immediate， obvious effects on river flow． When it pours， rivers often rage． But groundwater is hidden and changes don't always manifest in the place where the pumping occurs and are programmed to "wait for the perfect moment"． That makes aquifer management issues extra challenging． In the meantime， rivers and streams are the signal that says we're using water in an unsustainable fashion， we need to take a hard look at what we're doing．"．9. The underlined word "extracted" in the second paragraph can be replaced by ______ ．A. pumpedB. distractedC. contractedD. filled10. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？______A. The water removed from the ground can be fully refilled．B. The effects of over-pumping groundwater are notimmediate．C. The groundwater only takes effects during droughts．D. Fresh water hidden below Earth's surface is more than anyother source．二、单选题(本大题共15小题，共15.0分)11.

Passage 1Nature is shrinking by the day in the name of progress． The loss of biodiversity could be a disaster． Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants， animals and other living things which are allinter-connected． The problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague． People might care about brown bears， but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of microscopic sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations alongcoastlines．Passage 2The Guardian newspaper has launched the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action． This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to reverse the decline in sea-life caused by industrial fishing， banning the fishing of live sharks at sea by some Asian countries， and stopping the slaughter of dingoes in Australia， among many other things．写作内容：1、用 30 单词左右写出上文概要；2、用约 120 单词阐述你对这个话题的看法，内容包括：（1）你如何看待保护动物多样性的意义？（2）作为中学生，你如何为保护动物多样性做出贡献？写作要求：1、写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2、作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3、不必写标题．英语试卷答案一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题，共20.0分)【答案】【小题1】B【小题2】D【小题3】B【小题1】C【小题2】B【小题3】A【小题1】D【小题2】A【小题1】A【小题2】B二、单选题(本大题共15小题，共15.0分)11【答案】A 12【答案】B 13【答案】A 14【答案】B15【答案】B 16【答案】C17【答案】A 18【答案】D19【答案】C20【答案】B 21【答案】B 22【答案】C23【答案】B 24【答案】B 25【答案】B三、完形填空(本大题共20小题，共20.0分)【答案】【小题1】B【小题2】D【小题3】D【小题4】C【小题5】C【小题6】C【小题7】B【小题8】B【小题9】A【小题10】B【小题11】A【小题12】C【小题13】A【小题14】D【小题15】B【小题16】A【小题17】B【小题18】C【小题19】A【小题20】C四、书面表达(本大题共1小题，共25.0分)46【答案】Biodiversity is suffering devastating damage nowadays，and not every species gets due public awareness．Luckily，campaigns like the Biodiversity 100 are appealing to governments to advocate better living conditions for endangered species．（生物的多样性遭到重大破坏，现在有人们在积极行动改善濒危物种的生存条件）Since the organisms of the ecosystems are inter-connected，if species or populations of a species disappear，it can have harmful effects on the rest of the ecosystem．（高分句型一）Declining biodiversity is therefore a concern for manyreasons．For example，greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability for all life forms and provides a number of natural services for everyone；healthy ecosystems can better withstand and recover from a variety of disasters．（对保护动物多样性的意义的看法）So it makes sense for everyone to make efforts to maintain biodiversity．As for students，we can help by learning more about the significance of preserving biodiversity and promoting the ideas of sustainable developments and consumption．If everyone can start by not buying or using products that harm biodiversity，we can surely make a difference．（高分句型二）（作为中学生，应该为保护动物多样性做出贡献）。
安徽省桐城市某中学2021届高三模拟考试英语试卷 Word版含答案
英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AParents and kids today dress alike，listen to the same music，and are friends．Is this a good thing？Sometimes，when Mr．Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter，Elizabeth，listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy，such as pop culture．he remember his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager．"I would never have said to my mom，'Hey，the new Weezer album is really great．How do you like it？'"says Ballmer．"There was just a complete gap in taste．"Music was not the only gulf．From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits．Today，the generation gap has not disappeared，but it is getting narrow in many families．Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago．Now they are comfortable and common．And parent-child activities，from shopping to sports，involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood．No wonder greeting cards today carry the message，"To my mother，my best friend．"But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents．"There's still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there，but there is a change happening，"says Kerrie，a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College．"In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents．"Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes．They see the 1960s as a turning point．Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say．"My parents were on the‘before'side of that change，but today's parents，the 40-year-olds，were on the‘after'side，"explains Mr．Ballmer．"It's not something easily accomplished by parents these days，because life is more difficult to understand or deal with，but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now．"1.What can we learn about Mr．Ballmer in Paragraph 1 ？______A. He and Elizabeth both 1ike Weezer．B. He had different interests with his mom．C. He had a bad relationship with his mom．D. He liked talking about music with his mom．2.What does the underlined word"democratic"probably mean？______A. Equal．B. Peaceful．C. Active．D. Considerate．3.The passage is mainly about ______ ．A. the problems of parent-child relationshipB. the strategies for parent-child relationshipsC. the development of parent-child relationshipD. the ways for parents to handle parent-child problemsBOwning a lovable，cute pet can unquestionably make one's home life better and obviously，it can affect pet owners'professional lives as well．In fact，according to a new survey，people who have owned pets may be more professionally successful，and this is definitely good news for ambitious pet parents．The survey was conducted by Kelton Global Research for Banfield Pet Hospital，according to Fast Company．The researchers surveyed 857 adults in the United States with a variety of careers，as explained in the survey summary on Banfield's website．Among the C-suite executives（CEOs，etc．）surveyed，93 percent grew with a pet in their home，with 78 percent claiming that growing up with a pet helped cause their career suceess as an adult．Interestingly，83 percent of C-suite executives who participated said they grew up with a dog，59 percent of them said they grew up with a cat，and 37 percent of them said they grew up with another kind of pet．（You're correct these numbers do not add up．It would seem that many of the people interviewed grew up with multiple kinds of pets．）So，how exactly does pet ownership cause career success？Well，according to Banfield's research，executives reported that their pet helped teach them lessons like responsibility，creativity，empathy，discipline，and organization，which have all been valuable in the business world．But what about people who grew up pet-less，but have adopted pets as adults？Luckily for those，the survey showed that current pet ownership can also help with professional success．According to the research，86 percent of current pet parents surveyed said owning pets helps them stick to a routine，better manage their time，and multitask more efficiently．But even if you don't think your pet ham directly helped you，your coworkers'knowledge that yon have a pet may actually be beneficial for your career．In fact，80 percent of people surveyed said they"feel more connected to colleagues who are pet owners，"and 79 percent of those surveyed believe that fellow co-workers who have pets are"hard workers．"4.What do the figures in Paragraph 2 show？______A. There is a rising demand for pets．B. Owning pets can make for professional success．C. More and more CEOs become aware of pots'effects．D. Pets become commercialized among C-suite executives．5.What can we learn from this passage？______A. The research is based on people from many walks in the world．B. Keeping pets provides the most valuable lessons for career．C. Pet ownership hardly benefits those who keep pets as adults．D. People who own a pet tend to get along well with colleagues．6.What is the author's attitude toward keeping a pet？______A. Indifferent．B. Critical．C. Objective．D. Concerned．CSome of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders．For example，Google（Sergey Brin and Larry Page），Apple（Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs），and Microsoft（Bill Gates and Paul Allen）and so on．Having partners can help to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business．No matter how down on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support．They may have extra skills，and be on hand to help out with the day-to-day problems．And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being overlooked．Everybody knows Samsungs Galaxy Note 7．When the phone was launched in 2016，customers praised it for its storage，design and usability，and it may well have bean a hit if it weren't for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and exploded．It was soon banned immediately from flights，and Samsung had no choice but to recall the entire model．The shortcoming reportedly cost thecompany ﹩1 billion，and a further ﹩17 billion in lost sales．But remember，based on the lesson，the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world! Now we know that failing is part of business success．One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed many times-and luckily，they bounced back．Take Sarah Blakely，founder of shapewear brand Spanx for example．She credits her business success specifically to her failures．"I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long，"she remembered．"People would tear up my business card in my face．But my friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created．I learned that‘no'doesn't always mean 'no'，and that you may get 30 nos before you get the one yes．People told me no with Spanx for two years．"Spanx is worth just over ﹩1 billion-it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in a law school started with just ﹩5 000!7.What can we learn from the examples in Paragraph 1？______A. Two heads are better than one．B. Constant dropping wears the stone．C. God helps those who help themselves．D. All things are difficult before they are easy．8.Why does the author mention Samsungs Galaxy Note 7，8 and 9？______A. To suggest customers should follow the new trends．B. To prove Samsung is responsible for customers．C. To show Samsung paid for its product failure．D. To explain that failures don't spell the end．9.What mainly contributed to Sarah Blakely's success？______A. Her friends'help．B. Her will power．C. Her good luck．D. Her education background．10.How does the author develop the passage？______A. By making contrast．B. By making classification．C. By giving examples．D. By giving numbers．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Imagine you receive an e-mail that looks something like this：ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY？How does reading this message make you feel？Was he or she angry or did that person just forget to turn off the 'Caps Lock'on the computer？The fact is that this e-mail"sounds"like the writer is shouting because using all capital letters in an e-mail is usually the way that people shout online．Knowing when to and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette（规矩）often called netiquette．(1) Following are some of her suggestions．First always remember that you are sending messages to a real person not just to a computer．Don't type anything that you wouldn't say to someone's face．(2) So make sure your meaning is clear．Don't do anything online that you wouldn't do in real life．Don't take anything without paying for it unless it's free．Don't read other people's e-mail-you wouldn't you're your next-door neighbor's mailbox and open their mail right？And do share your knowledge of the Internet with others．(3) (4) Good writing skills as well as correct grammar and spelling do matter．Send polite well-written e-mail messages to others．If you're uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrase to use，look it up．There are lots of helpful books and websites．It's okay to express your opinions online in forums like chat rooms or message boards for example"MSN"or"QQ"but don't start arguments with people．(5) But they are often unfair toother members of the group．Express your ideas but remember that fighting on or offline is just not right．A．Remember you're not the only one online．B．"Flame wars"in online discussion can be interesting to read．C．Try to respect others，such as their space，privacy，and feelings．D．It's a big place with lots of information and there fire many flew things to discover．E．Remember that people judge you by your words and your actions，so do try to white wall．F．Also remember that he cannot hear the tone of your voice or see the expressive on your face．G．Virginia Shea's book Netiquette lists a basic set of dos and don'ts for communicating rightly with others online．11.

安徽省桐城中学2020届高三下学期第三次模拟考试英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题，共25.0分)Though I know that I can do little to help the animals， I often check dog rehoming websites． Looking through page upon page of pitiful faces looking up， you might be thinking that the only dogs to be abandoned in this country are fierce-looking or large and unruly dogs．Recently， it seems there are some new additions in dog homes． Dogs Trust --- the country's largest dog welfare charity --- says that in the past year over 400 "toy dogs" were handed in， a 44% increase on the year before．"Toy dog" is the traditional term for all little dogs， but in recent years they've increasingly been referred to as "handbag dogs" after the ridiculous manner in which famous people like Paris Hilton carry them around in their ＄ 1，000 handbags， making these dogs the most wanted for impressionable teens． As the popularity of Hilton has waned， however， these dogs are being rudely tipped out of the handbags and given up to charity．In spite of the sad ending that this trend brings for some of these dogs， it can only be a good thing if people become aware that the toy types are still dogs，not dolls to be carried around． If you really are prepared to stick with them，a small dog is just as capable of bringing joy without the need to dress him or her up． A large dog won't sit on your lap while you read the papers or travel happily on the train with you． And a park full of pugs （哈巴狗） would be a happier and safer place than one full of teenage boys and badly trained large dogs． As Edith Wharton said， "My little dog --- a heartbeat at my feet．"1. What is the author's new finding in the dog rehoming websites？ ______A. More "handbag dogs" are given up．B. Some dogs in Dogs Trust are large dogs．C. Teens are likely to play with their "toy dogs"．D. The number of abandoned dogs is increasing．2. What does the underlined word "waned" in the third paragraph most probably mean？ ______A. grown．B. weakened．C. begun．D. worked．3. What might be the author's attitude towards dogs ？ ______A. Large dogs and children make a good park．B. "Handbag dogs" should be forbidden in public places．C. It is good to dress dogs up before carrying them around．D. Keeping small dogs can bring joys in a way．Fifteen-year-old David had spent six months planning a hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon with his classmates． No one could have known it would end in tragedy．When the group arrived at the starting point for the hike， they found out there was a problem with their permit． To solve it， the five boys and three leaders walk back up to the ranger station （护林站） - only to find out it was closed．When the boys got moving， they'd already drunk most of their water． In the burning sun， temperatures reached 115°F． Even the leaders were having trouble walking on， but the group finally made it down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon． Heat evil was occurring． "My son made it about 100 yards from the river and then dropped，" says his father， Robin． Two boys of them raced to the river to get him water．When the boys arrived， the last rafting （筏运） trip of the day was passing by． As luck would have it， among the waiting riders were a few doctors． They rushed to give David first aid before going for help． But it was too late． David passed away from the heat evil．It's been 21 years since the boy's death， and hiking still holds a strong memory of David for his family． The summer before the tragedy， his father had a long time to devote to his family． David and his dad spent the summer hiking all over the High Uintas， where snow-topped peaks reflect tower over glacier-formed lakes．The photo Robin took of Christmas Meadows there won the Reader's Digest "From Sea to Shining Sea" photo contest and appeared on the July 2017 magazine cover． To Robin， it isn't just a fascinating landscape - it's also a powerful reminder of his late son．4. How many people does David's group consist of？ ______A. 11B. 10C. 8D. 95. Where did Robin take the photo which won the Reader's Digest "From Sea to Shining Sea" photo contest？ ______A. On the High Uintas．B. Where David had been to．C. In the Grand Canyon．D. In the Christmas Meadows．6. What does the passage intend to tell us mainly？ ______A. Take enough water with you when hiking．B. Robin still misses his late son， David．C. Don't hike to the Grand Canyon in too hot weather．D. Doctors can't necessarily succeed in saving every patient．A very close friend phoned me this weekend and asked a specific question about earning a few extra dollars each month online．For the benefit of keeping her name and details secret，I will call her Annie in this article．You see Annie suffers from a severe form of inaction syndrome；she is full of great ideas that never materialize into cash and she is having a problem finding the link thatwill achieve this ．Somebody once said that knowledge is power ，yet we constantly find from readers of our website that they have knowledge to burn and still do not have power ．Just look at the academics in universities all around the world ；they have so much knowledge that they should control the wealth of the world ．In truth they work for peanuts and very few of them ever achieve the power of independence ．So knowledge certainly isn't power ．Therefore ，we should change that "wise" statement to "Power is the ability to use knowledge to your own benefit ．"Annie is a typical academic-strong on talk and plans but weaker on actions ．In the period of a twenty-minute conversation ，she stated a whole list of plans and ideas to make the extra few hundred dollars each month she was seeking ．Any one of her many ideas was a potential money maker ，but she had taken action on none of them ．At one time she said ，"I'm lost as to what to do next ．"That was my clue to get involved ．"Take action ，" I advised ．All that is wrong is that Annie was inactive without knowing it ．In five minutes we drew up a plan of action and agreed to talk again in a month to reviewprogress ．When we finished the conversation ，she sounded much happier and more motivated than when we started ．Annie just needs a little encouragement into beneficial action ．7.

She knows little about making money online ．8. What is the most important according to the author ？ ______A. The ability to use one'sknowledge ． B. The ability to acquire knowledge ．C. A great deal of knowledge ．D. A good understanding of oneself ．9. Which of the following is not true according to the passage ？ ______A. Annie is the real name of the author's friend ．B. Annie is good at talk and plans ．C. Annie is inactive to take actions ．D. Annie feels more confident after the talk with the author ．10. What might the passage continue to talk about ？ ______A. How Annie takes actions onB. Why Annie should take actions onher ideas．her ideas．C. What the author suggests toD. What Annie's problem is．Annie．二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)It's Time to Put It Away Your smart phone may have hurt you before you realizeit．Don't be addicted to it．Put your phone away，OK？1．Cyber SicknessCyber sickness， also called "digital motion sickness"，symptoms that range fromheadaches to sick feelings can occur when you quickly scroll on your smart phoneor watch action-packed videos on your screen．11 Your sense of balanceis different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs．When those inputsdon't agree，that's when you feel dizziness and sickness．2．Text ClawText claw is the unofficial term for pains and muscle contraction felt in thefingers，wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use．12 So if you'realways on your phone，it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands andforearms．3．Eye TirednessDo you stare at a screen for hours on end？If you're doing this，you very wellmight suffer eye strain．13 Staring at your digital devices for a longtime can lead to dry eyes，headaches and tiredness，which can decrease yourproductivity．Experts suggest taking screen breaks every 20 minutes．4．Text SpineSimilar to the text claw，text spine-discomfort in the neck and spine-happenswhen you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone．14 Beingmindful of how far your spine bends when you're on your phone-and bending it backto an upright position-can help reduce the risk of text neck．5．Pedestrian SafetyPedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users even whencrossing the road．While focused on the cyber world，many of us ignore the potentialdangers of the traffic，and the risks are scary．15A．We should take breaks for a while．B．Traffic rules are more important than smart phones．C．The sensation results from a mismatch between sensory inputs．D．The habit may lead to people requiring medical spine care at a younger age．E．Any specific motor activity can cause pain in the muscles when donerepeatedly．F．To avoid injury or worse，put your phone away until you've reached a safe spot．G．Any activity that requires active use of your eyes-driving and readingincluded-can cause eye tiredness．11.
