2020-2021学年北京市北外附属外国语学校高三英语上学期期末考试试题及答案解析
2020-2021学年北京市北外附属外国语学校高三英语上学期期末考试试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThailand is a country with a long and rich history. It is also one of those countries which have many traditions which modern times fortunately have not affected. Thailand is famous for its unique culture. It is well worth noting that Thai culture hasbeen handed down from one generation to the next.Thai Classical DanceThe inspiring culture includes local music and wonderful Thai dances. The dances of course have something to do with its deep-rooted Buddhist religion, fighting arts and beautiful clothing. Thai classical dance performances are generally performed by gracious (高雅的) Thai ladies wearing beautiful Thai local costumes. Most resort (旅游胜地) areas and many hotels frequently offer these Thai culture dance shows for foreign visitors.Thai GreetingThe unique Thai gesture of greeting another person, the wai, is especiallyone of the great aspects of Thai culture. The wai is when a person joins both hands to either head or chest level while bending their head slightly towards his hands. This way of greeting is especially done when a younger person greets an older person and it indicates a sign of respect to their elders. Employees would also wai their managers even if the manager would be younger than themselves.BangkokBangkok is the culture center of Thailand and has been the Thai capital since the end of the eighteenth century. Observing Thai culture in Bangkok can be great experience as the combination of modern times and traditions have created a kind of unique atmosphere. Bangkok offers a package of Thai culture which is shown by numerous beautiful Buddhist temples and many examples of modern Thai architecture.Bangkok National MuseumAnother location in Bangkok where one can enjoy and see Thai culture is at the famed Bangkok national museum, which offers tourists an opportunity to view national treasures and unique Thai art pieces with its culture feature dating back as early as the late sixteenth century.1.Thai classical dance is related to ________.A.its living level and educationB.its history and architectural styleC.its customsD.its religious belief2.In Thailand a worker uses the gesture, the wai , to greet________.A.his close friend.B.a young stranger.C.his younger colleagues.D.his young boss.3.What make Thai culture in Bangkok so unique?A.The long history and fine weather of Bangkok.B.The mixture of the modern culture and traditions.C.A number of beautiful Thai Buddhist templesD.Many examples of modern Thai architecture.BMichele Gentile, an Italian bookseller, is offering free books to children in exchange for plastic bottles to recycle.Michele owns Ex Libris Cafe in Polla，a small town in southern Italy. He said he thought of the recycling program, because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment.''My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment," Gentile explained.The idea for the initiative (倡议) came after Gentile collaborated with a nearby middle school on an aluminum recycling project. Working together, the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to purchase books for an entire classroom. His new program too off from there and has already spread into northern Italy: Gentile's hopes his work will continue to make headlines and become a worldwide initiative.The free books come from customers in Gentile's shop who have donated money to purchase a ''suspended" book. The idea comes from a World War II practice in which customers would buy two Coffees: one for themselves and another for the next person in line. Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative, While Gentile's program is a great way to recycle and get kids to read, it also brings awareness to the growing problem of plastic waste. Single-use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world, only 14 percent of which are recycled. Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose (分解),is a major concern for environmentalists.Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations, and recycling programs like Gentile's book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.4. What is the purpose of Gentile's book giveaway?A. To sell more coffee and books.B. To attract more customers.C. To collect money for a new project.D. To inspire reading and recycling.5. How did Gentile come up with the idea?A. Working with a school to recycle cans.B. Seeing school kids don't like reading.C. Donating books for a local school.D. Buying a “suspended” book for a child.6. Who pay for the books of the project?A. The local government.B. Gentile himself.C. Some publishers.D. His customers.7. Whichof the following is the best title for the text?A. An Italian's Reading InitiativeB. Recycling Can Get Kids Free BooksC. Michele's Way of Doing BusinessD. A New Way to Deal with Plastic WasteCWhen I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived atHeathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch theskaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caughta few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”8. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?A. He felt disappointed.B. He gave up his hobby.C. He liked the weather there.D. He had disagreements with his family.9. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?A. Be careful!B. Well done!C. No way!D. Don't worry!10. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?A. To join the skateboarding.B. To make new friends.C. To learn more tricks.D. To relive his childhood days11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A. Children should learn a second language.B. Sport is necessary for children's health.C. Children need a sense of belongingD. Seeing the world is a must for children.DTrue friend from a distant landInternational friends can come in many shapes and sizes. However they arrive on the scene, they are always appreciated, especially in times ofturbulence. Michael Lindsay (1909 — 94) is a case in point.After graduating from the University of Oxford in 1931, Lindsay arrived in China in 1937 on a ship from Canada intending merely to teach economics at Beiping Yenching University, the current Peking University. He traveled with Norman Bethune the Canadian doctor who dedicated his life to medicine in China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931 — 45).Lindsay left Beijing at the end of 1941, and went to the Communist-led Jinchaji base(晋察冀边区)together with his wife Li Xiaoli, who was a Shanxi local and a former student of his.“Lindsay was inspired by the hard work local Chinesepeople made in fighting against Japanese aggression. After learning that Chinese armies on the frontlines were suffering supply shortages, Lindsay was determined to lend a hand," says Yan Juhai, a retired official from Shanxi's Lyuliang city. "In the Jinchaji base, NieRongzhen( 1899 — 1992), the base's top commander, appointed him to work as the communications expert, where he became a full-time radio technician contributing greatly in communication technology innovation and training," says Yan.In 1944 Lindsay and his wife arrived in Yan'an in Shaanxi province and helped fix its telecommunicationequipment. They stayed for 18 months in Yan'an, and after the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, they decided to return to the United Kingdom to visit their parents.12. Which word in the following can best replace the underlined word?A. peaceB. warC. stressD. sorrow13. Why did Lindsay go to the Communist-led Jinchaji base according to Yan Juhai?A. Because his wife was a Shanxi local.B. Because he was warmly invited by NieRongzhen.C. Because he was touched by Chinese people's effortsD. Because he was more interested in communications.14. What can we learn from the article?A. Lindsay and his wife stayed in China for over 8 years.B. Lindsay's wife was also skilled in communication technology.C. Lindsay was appointed as the communications consultant in Shanxi province.D. Lindsay taught economics in the Jinchaji base besides his work as a radio expert.15. Where is the text probably from?A. a guidebookB. a novelC. a diaryD. a newspaper第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

One way in which adults can develop their interest in a new subject is to search the Internet. A potentially much richer way is to wander through a learning environment, such as a science museum, _____31 _____out in a systematic way to introduce visitors to particular subjects. With the help of audiovisual aids, computer-_____32_____ instruction and other devices, a museum can bring a subject alive in ways that compare _____33_____ with a television programme, or a book. The kind of help that museums can give to adults can equally well be given to children, and to teachers whose pupils have come to the museum for specific _____34_____ .At a time when the demand for public accountability has never been greater, it is worth remembering that many museums receive substantial grants towards what is supposed to be stimulating educational _____35_____ for the general public.Museums accepting these grants, yet offering little more than the_____ 36_____ public lecture, or very minimal help to schoolteacher arriving at the museum with their pupils, therefore risk having such financial support severely cut back, or even _____37_____.Why is this done? The idea is that museums should not simply be aiming to be popular and entertaining, they should also be truly _____38_____ learning environments. Given that this is their aim, they should not just spread facts and theories. They should show the visitor exactly what to do with the information provided. Isolated pieces of information, _____39_____ as they may be. do not encourage museum visitors to use their intelligence. For example, if told that some fleas can jump 130 times their own height, visitors simply have no idea of how to apply this _____40_____ unless they are clearly pointed in the right direction.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.At a time when scientists know more than they ever have before about the inner lives of animals and when concerns about animal rights become large—many experts think that zoos need a major change if they're going to last.To some leaders in the field, the Philadelphia Zoo is the best model out there, but on the other side of the country; a _____41_____ vision of the future is playing out. At Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, the elephant exhibit, where countless children have watched elephants play, now sits _____42_____ . The zoo, long _____43_____ as a world leader in innovative design, built a $3 million state-of-the-art facility for the species in the 1980s. But in recent years, animal-rights advocates had criticized the exhibit as inhumane for being too small and not _____44_____ the elephants' natural living area. Under pressure from activists following the death of an elephant in 2014, and thanks to new guidelines from the nation's main zoo organization, Woodland Park officials decided to _____45_____ one of its most popular exhibits and place the elephants elsewhere.Nearly two centuries after the first modern zoo opened in London's Regent's Park, the very concept of a place where families can visit and observe animals is being _____46_____ like never before. Across the US and around the world, zoos are finding that balancing the demands of entertainment, education and conservation is increasingly _____47_____. Ethical(伦理的）concerns have been coupled with _____48_____ fears—both for people and for animals—following an incident in May when officials at the Cincinnati Zoo shot and killed a 17-year-old gorilla named Haram be to protect a child who'd fallen into the exhibit. More _____49_____, there's a greater sensitivity to the environmental implications of zoos.Ask a dozen zoo directors why these places should exist today and you'll get a different answer every time. Education, conservation and science all _____50_____. But the _____51_____ answer -cultivating sympathy for animals—is becoming harder to do while providing humane care to these animals.Study after study has shown that many animal species are far smarter and more _____52_____ than previously understood, giving new insights into how they may suffer from anxiety and depression when they are removed from _____53_____. That has forced a difficult existential question: If we acknowledge that creatures suffer when they're trapped, should they be kept in zoos? Not even those who have _____54_____ the cause for more humane exhibits have an answer. "Even the best zoos today are based on captivity and coercion(囚禁与胁迫)”，says Jon Coe, the legendary zoo designer "To me. that's the _____55_____ fault.”41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A 27-year-old graphic designer from Oxfordshire in England completed a record-breaking journey across Australia yesterday. It was a 5,800 kilometre journey—and he travelled the whole distance on a skateboard. David Cornthwaite, who started skateboarding less than two years ago, decided on his journey after waking up one morning and realising he hated his job. 'I thought the only thing keeping me going is the skate to and from work. I was looking for something new/ he said. "I saw a Lonely Planet guide to Australia. There was a map on the back. Perth was on one side and Brisbane on the other and I thought, 'that'll do”.He decided to prepare by skateboarding from John O'Groats to Lands End: the two points further apart on the British mainland. That 1,442 kilometre journey, which he finished in June, took just over a month, during which an infected blister (水泡)swelled to the 'size of a tennis ball’. Crossing Australia on a skateboard brough unique challenges. The wind caused by huge road trains, the lorries that thunder across the Outback, was so powerful that he was sometimes blown off his board. Multiple blisters and aching ankles, toes and feet, have kept him in almost constant pain for the last six weeks. ,I feel like an old man. I'm not sure that anyone has ever had this many blisters/ he said. Temperatures of 40cC and above mean that he has used more than a dozen tubes of factor 30 sunscreen. 'There have been moments where I thought "this is ridiculous. I have to rest”，but I never considered giving up.’Skating an average of 50 kilometres a day and hitting speeds of up to 50kph on downhill runs, he left Perth. Western Australia, and skated across the fearsome Nullarbor Plain into South Australia. After reaching Adelaide he made his way to Melbourne and from there to Sydney A support team of seven people trailed from all the way in a four-wheel drive vehicle, which included camping equipment for night shops. The journey has smashed the previous record for a long-distance skateboard, set by an American, Jack Smith, who covered 4,800 kilometres across the US in 2003. David Comthwaite was less than three kilometres from the end of his epic journey when he hit a hole and was thrown off his skateboard, suffering cuts and bruises to his shoulders, knees, hips and elbows. ‘I was only going to 40km at the time, so although it wasn't pretty; it could have been a lot worse,’ he said.56. Why did David Comthwaite decide to skateboard across Australia?A. He wanted to break a world record.B. He was an experienced skateboarderC. He wanted to try something different.D. He was given a guidebook about Australia.51. What made David fall of his skateboard several times in Australia?A. The injuries on his feet.B. The thunderstorms in the Outback.C. The trains that race across the Outback.D. The wind created by huge lorries going past.58. Which of the following statements is true of David while he was on the journey?A. He slept in a tent during the journey.B. He skated at an average speed of 50 kph.C. He thought of giving up the journey halfway.D. He was sunburned due to the misuse of sunscreen.(B)Often enough the craft worker's place of employment in ancient Greece was set in rural isolation. Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement. At Corinth and Athens, however, two of the best-known potters' quarters were situated on the cities’ outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines (陶制俑)were also established well within the city of Athens itself Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.: its distinctive color was the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln’s (窑) temperature during an extended three-stage period. Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized that they did not share in the concerns of the other.The broad use of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to limit . themselves to either decorated ware and housewares like cooking pots and storage jars or building materials. Some sixth-and fifth-century B.C. Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Thasos produced many types of pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand. Molds were used to create particular effects for some products or to facilitate mass production. There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means, as numerous featureless statuettes and unattractive cases testify.60. The passage mainly discusses ancient Greek pottery and its__________.A. unusual materialsB. production techniquesC. similarity to other craftsD. resemblance to earlier pottery61 . Which of the following advantage did terra-cotta have?A. It had a lasting shine on the surface.B. It could be used for many purposes.C. It did not break during the firing process.D. It was less expensive than other available materials.62. Which of the following statements is true of ancient Greek potters and vase painters?A. They seldom produced inferior ware.B. They stuck to their way of producing pieces.C. It is almost impossible to draw a clear line between them.D. It is hard to explain why they didn't make any human images’(C)How does one protect elephants from ivory poachers (象牙偷猎者)in an African reserve the size of a small country? This task typically falls to park rangers who may spend weeks patrolling the bush on foot sometimes lacking basic devices such as radios, tents or even socks. They are largely losing to poachers.To stop the losses, conservationists are increasingly turning to technology. The latest tools include real-time tracking collars, developed by the Kenya-based nonprofit Save the Elephants and currently being used on more than 325 animals in 10 countries--- The organization's researchers wrote algorithms (算法)that use signals from the collars to automatically detect when an animal stops moving (indicating it may be dead), slows down (suggesting it may be injured) or heads toward a danger zone, such as an area known for poaching. Unlike traditional tracking collars, many of which send geographical coordinates infrequently or store them onboard for later retrieval, these devices' real-time feeds enable rangers to react quickly. In several cases, they have led to arrests.The amount of data produced by the new collars quickly became overwhelming, however. So Save the Elephants partnered with Vulcan- a company created by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen—which engineered an open-source tracking application for iOS and the Web called the Domain Awareness System. The DAS app sends alerts when a potential problem arises—if field sensors pick up on human intruders, for example. It also integrates a wealth of other information, including the positions of nearby rangers, vehicles and aircraft, as well as detected gunshots, camera trap feeds, arrest and crime-scene records, weather, and more.Some of the technologies used in the collars—GPS, onboard data storage, phone or satellite receivers—are found in everyday devices, including smartphones. Yet in this case these tools are being applied in an exceptional way, according to Jake Wall, geospatial science adviser for Save the Elephants. It is the first time all the data that DAS uses have been presented in one neat feed and map, he says.An early version of the program is being tested at four sites in Africa, with a 10-site expansion planned for September. At Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya, DAS is already seen as a game changer after its launch less than a year ago, says Batian Craig, director of 51 Degrees, a private company that oversees security operations at Lewa.63. The latest tracking collars are different from traditional ones in that __________.A. they can send signals immediatelyB. they withdraw information at any timeC. they can store more information onboardD. they send geographical coordinates infrequently64. Why did Save the Elephants partner with Vulcan?A. It has met with financial problems.B. It hopes to make a big profit in the future.C. It doesn't know how to advance its collar.D. It can't handle the collected data very well.65. What does Batian Craig say about DAS?A. It will make a big difference.B. It was launched in September.C. It will have a new version soon.D. It needs to be tested at more sites.66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How Elephants LiveB. Find My ElephantC. Elephant-Friendly AreasD. Elephants VS PoachersSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Ancient China's Terracotta Army （兵马俑）One of the greatest archaeological（考古的）finds of all time is the Terracotta Army of ancient China. Discovered accidentally in 1974, in Xi'an Province, in China, when local farmers were digging for water, over 8.000 baked clay figures have since been found.__________67__________ Emperor Qin was one of the most important rulers in Chinese history. After becoming emperor of the state of Qin at the age of 13. he conquered six other states over the next 25 years, and became the first emperor of a united China.In Qin's time, the ancient Chinese believed that their "afterlife" was very similar to the life on earth. Consequently, when they died and were buried, objects which would be useful to them in the next life were buried with them. __________ 68__________ In addition, the emperor ordered an army to be built so that his palace would be protected.__________69__________ In ancient China, however, they used a completely different method.A huge production line was established to make the tens of thousands of individual human and animal statues which Emperor Qin demanded. All the different pails of the body such as legs, arms, and heads were made separately and then assembled. The same process was also used for other pieces such as ears, beards, and armour. When the whole figure was completed, it was baked in an oven.The terracotta figures are life-like and life-sized. Each one has a different facial expression and hairstyle, as well as uniforms which indicate their job and rank. Among the figures there are ordinary soldiers, archers, and officers, together with horses. They were discovered arranged in military formation ready to protect the emperor in the afterlife.In 1987, the tomb and army of Emperor Qin were declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. __________70__________ The Terracotta Army clearly deserves this honour, as nearly two million people from all over the world visit it each year.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Common Characteristics of FolktalesMost of us know some very old folktales. People shared these stories orally for years before writing them down. Since people told stories instead of writing them, the stories changed in between places and with each storyteller. Each new storyteller made changes to the stories based on his own traditions and culture. For example, many cultures have stories like the raven tale about how people got light. In these tales, though, the main character is another type of animal.Next the characters in folktales are similar They are usually ordinary characters who do extraordinary things. They usually have only one or two strong characteristics. For instance, thechief in the Raven story is selfish and not very smart. But Raven is very generous—he wants to help people. And he's very clever as he finds a way to get the light . In addition, often the characters in folktales are not people but animals with human qualities. They talk, make plans, and have strong emotions. Small animals such as the popular spider and turtle play this role in West African stories. In summary, the characters of folktales are simple but often clever in achieving their goals. Finally, the plot, or what happens in the folktale, is usually exciting. Most folktales begin with an expression like “a long time ago" and then move very quickly into the story, which starts with a problem. For instance, a strong, bad character often gives a weaker character a task and promises something if he completes the task. The weaker character often uses clever tricks, special skills, or magic to complete the task. In the end of a folktale, the good characters usually win and the bad characters lose. In conclusion, the plot of a folktale is interesting.So, in summary, we know that the tradition of folktales is very old. They are told all over the world, but they share several of the same features, as said above.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.专家认为，野火突然増多有好几个原因。

Where does your food come from? How is it made? These days, many people worry about food safety. But food safety is not a new worry. In1906, Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle. The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago. It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared. People were so worried that the U.S. started testing food.These days, most food in the world is safe. Laws control where food comes from. They also control how food is managed and prepared. Laws are important. But it's more important to make sure the rules are followed. A good food safety system keeps people safe. It also helps them eat healthy food. Labels(标签)on food give people important information. Then they can make good choices about their food.Although food safety systems usually work, there can be problems. Sometimes mistakes are made. For example, a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream. The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it. Other problems are not mistakes. Sometimes companies break rules to make more money. When this happens, people don't know if their food is safe.As we all know, food is closely related to our daily life. We should take actions to make food safer!73.Who wrote The Jungle? (1分)74.What are the food labels used to do? (2分)75.Is it necessary to pay attention to food safety? Why or why not? (3分)答案：73.

Last year, sales of these books in the UK rose 20 per cent, reaching three million. The Guardian reported.Many of the self-help books are written by famous people or psychologists(心理学家). They teach you how to face problems in your life. But can self-help books really help people with their daily lives? People have different opinions about this. Julie Hall from London is a big fan of self-help books. After reading more than 300 0f them, she sets up her own self-help website. Her site helps women achieve their goals in the business world. "They (self-help books) can give you confidence and motivation(积极性) to do what you want to do, " she said. However, a recent study in Canada might not have the same opinion. Scientists surveyed two groups of people --- one of the groups had read many self-help books, while the other hadn't. They found that people in the first group were more depressed(沮丧的).There is no "quick fix" that can improve people's daily lives. However, it's always good to know that kind of help is ready for people when they need it.65.How many self-help books were sold in the UK last year?66.What does the writer want to tell us by giving the two examples in Paragraph 2？67.Will you read self-help books for help when you face teenage problems?
