Although September's job 36 was stronger than most economists were expecting, it is still not growing fast enough for the millions of Americans 37 for work.In many U.S. cities, frustration over the scarcity〔供不应求〕 of jobs is spilling out into the streets in the 38 of protests, like the "Jobs Not Cuts" rally in Washington.Many, including rapper Godfrey James, say lawmakers are not doing enough to help 39 Americans.Experts say hiring is likely to remain weak for the remainder of the year as companies wait for the economy to 40In New York, where the "Occupy Wall Street" movement appears to be gaining momentum〔势头〕, activists say the richest one percent own most of the country's wealth."I feel like the middle class has been almost completely 41 now. Now, you have got the bottom class and the top class," said one protester.42 , about 14 million Americans are unemployed, nearly 40 percent have been out of work for more than six months.President Barack Obama, who is running for re-election next year, is pressuring Congress to pass a $450 billion job creation plan. Republicans, who see the economy as the 43 weakness, have blocked many of his initiatives〔提案〕 and are 44 to approve the package of tax cuts and public spending.But small business owner Dave Finnegan says Americans need to remind politicians who's 45 in charge."This is how things get done," said Finnegan. "That building, the Capitol building is only a place where they vote on stuff, it's not a place where things originate. Things 46 with people in the street. This is a democracy and it has to start here."While better than expected job numbers last month have helped calm fears of a new recession〔不景气〕, the nation's chronic high unemployment is expected to be a major issue in .

By making computers personal 50. putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun.

And there may be 54. greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that 55. of the world learned of his passingon a device he invented.Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension 〔30 marks〕Directions： Read the following passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．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．AWhen their parents were children, they imagined a future standing in front of a class of pupils or doing the rounds as a doctor．But today's British teenagers, a survey suggests, seem to have set their sights only on becoming the next Leona Lewis or Wayne Rooney．Researchers questioned 3,000 teenagers about their ambitions and also asked parents about their youthful career hopes．According to the survey, youngsters dream of a celebrity lifestyle, perhaps after finding fame through shows such as the X Factor, and of being actors or sports stars．Copying the likes of Rooney and David Beckham was the top career ambition of today's teenagers, cited by 12 percent．Almost as many, 11 percent, wanted to be pop stars, and the same proportion dreamed of being actors．The success of celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay is likely to explain why becoming a chef is now the dream of 5 percent, a career ambition which did not figure in the list of 25 years ago．A quarter of a century back teaching was the top career choice, cited by 15 percent．These days the job is chosen by only 4 percent．Of the traditional professions, only law has risen in popularity．The survey also suggests that more girls dream of becoming doctors and boys want careers as astronauts or firefighters．Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus said the findings reflect today's celebrity culture and warned children against unrealistic dreams．"Children see footballers, pop stars and actors on TV and their lives look exciting, glamorous and fun," she said．"It is hard for them to realize that they are the end product of a lot of ingredients including talent, determination and years of hard work．Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch by chance．"As Antrobus pointed out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children having big dreams, but "these have to be based on reality," she said．56pop stars and actors．A．have the talent of B．work as hard asC．enjoy the celebrity lifestyles of D．become successful by chance like 57．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．12 percent of British teenagers surveyed wanted to become chefs．B．22 percent of British teenagers surveyed wanted to be pop stars or actors．C．None of the traditional professions are favored by today's British teenagers, the survey suggests．D．Teaching, though less popular, seems to remain one of the top career choices on the list．58．According to child psychologist Laverne Antrobus, the change in career ambitions suggested by the study .A．represents progress B．mirrors today’s celebrity cultureC．shows how materialistic youngsters are D．suggests British teenagers watch too much TV59．What does the underlined sentence "Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch by chance．"mean?A．Wayne Rooney does not get to play much today．B．Wayne Rooney didn't get into sport by chance．C．Wayne Rooney doesn't believe in luck when he is playing．D．Wayne Rooney didn't become successful by luck．60．The expert quoted in the article believes ______．A．there's no point in teenagers having dreamsB．it is wrong to desire to live the life of a celebrityC．young Britons have the same ambitions as their parentsD．children should set practical goals when they think of their careerBThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists 〔人类学家〕．Descriptions like "Palaeolithic〔旧石器时代的〕Man" ．"Neolithic〔新石器时代的〕Man" ,etc．，neatly sum up whole periods．When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surelychoose the label" Legless Man"．Histories of the time will go something like this: "in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs．Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age．There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking．And the surprising thing is that they didn't use their legs even when they went on holiday．"The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes．In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way．Air travel gives you a bird's-eye view of the world．When you travel by car or train, an unclear picture of the countryside constantly smears the windows．Car drivers, especially, are mixed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop．The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says" I've been there．"You mention the remotest, and someone is bound to say "I've been there"—meaning, "I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else．"When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place．But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless．You want to move on again．By traveling like this, you suspend all experience．The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present．For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes．He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body．At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness．He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers．61．Anthropologists label man nowadays "Legless" because______．A．people forget how to use their legs B．people prefer cars, buses and trainsC．lifts prevent people from walking D．there are a lot of transportation devices62．Travelling at high speed means______．A．people’s focus on the futureB．a pleasureC．satisfying drivers’ great thrillD．a necessity of life63．Why does the author say “we are deprived of the use of our eyes〞?A．People won’t use their eyes.B．In traveling at high speed, eyes become useless.C．People can’t see anything on their way of travel.D．People want to sleep during traveling.64．What does “a bird’s-eye view〞 mean?A．See view with bird’s eyes.B．A bird looks at a beautiful view.C．It is a general view from a high position looking down.D．A scenic place.65．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A．Legs become weaker.B．Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.C．There is no need to use eyes.D．The best way to travel is on foot.CIf you see someone touched on the cheek, and feel as if your own cheek has been touched, then you have mirror-touch synesthesia (共感觉), a condition that causes people to feel the touches that they see others receive.As the name implies, a mirror effect is involved. If a mirror-touch synesthete is standing opposite someone and the non-synesthete is hit in the right arm, the synesthete will feel the blow in his or h er left arm. If the two are standing next to each other, contact with the non-synesthete’s right arm will be felt in the synesthete’s right arm.People with mirror-touch synesthesia have very active mirror neurons(神经细胞) that can produce intense sensations of emotional empathy(同情). Such people can not only imagine the pain of others, but often feel as if it were their own.Besides feeling what others feel, mirror-touch synesthetes are often morally extremely sensitive; many claim to be unable to understand how people can laugh at the misfortunes of others, and to find action and horror movies unbearable to watch.In , Sarah Jane-Blak9emore, a neuroscientist(神经科学家) at University College London, net a 39-year-old woman who confirmed that she could feel contact that she only observed, such as a pinch(掐). She had thought all people were that way; it had never occurred to her that mirror-touch synesthesia was unusual. Researchers later discovered that 11 of the woman’s relatives had another type of synesthesia, known as color-grapheme synesthesia.Recent studies have shed more light on the phenomenon. Researchers have used brain scans, touch tests, and questionnaires to look for mirror-touch synesthesia in 10 subjects. Brain scans have shown that certain areas of the brain are extremely active when mirror-touch synesthetes see someone being touched, while in touch tests they often mistook an observed touch for the one applied to themselves.Learning why some people are highly sensitive to the emotions of others could teach us more about those who aren’t.66．If you’re a mirror-touch synesthete, which of the following best shows the function of the mirror effect in you?A．When you see someone with the broken leg, you try to help.B．When someone hits you on the head, you feel pain.C．When someone touches your left arm, your right arm feels it.D．When someone hits his left leg, your right leg feels it.67．According to the text, what causes mirror-touch synesthesia?A．Mirror neurons. B．A mirror effect. C．emotional empathy.D．Genes.68．All the following of another person can be sensed by a mirror-touch synesthete EXCEPT .A．being touched B．inner feelings C．knowledge D．pain69．Why is the 39-year-old woman mentioned in Paragraph 5?A．Because 11 of her relatives have synesthesia as well.B．Because she can feel pinch she only observes.C．Because Sarah Jane-Blakemore knew her well.D．Because she had never realized she had synesthesia.70．Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the text?A．We still know little about mirror-touch synesthesia.B．A mirror-touch synesthete is created by horror films.C．Brain scans show the crain is active when touched.D．We can learn about normal people by studying mirror-touch synesthesia. Part IV Writing 〔45 marks〕Section A〔10 marks〕Directions： Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the informationfrom the passage．Write NOMORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Stage FrightStage fright is not commonly thought of as a phobia. Officially, it can be recognized as a subset of glossophobia, or fear of public speaking, which is itself a type of social phobia. Many people who perform on a public stage, from kids in school to professional actors, are potentially at risk for stage fright. Even Hollywood lore is filled with tales of performers who have battled with this phobia.People suffering from stage fright have probably dealt with endless questions from family and friends as to why they put themselves through the torment. Two reasons, according to some experts, can account for this phenomenon. First, most performers haven’t had much practice at it. Any unfamiliar activity creates some stress. Second, none of them likes to be evaluated and they dislike the thought of having others examine them too closely.Then, if one suffers from stage fright, what symptoms can be experienced? The phobia generally begins weeks or months before the performance; they may begin to feel jumpy. As the date of the performance draws closer, the symptoms worsen. A few hours before the time when the performers participate in the show, they may meet some problems such as diarrhea(腹泻), and heart palpitations. Both during and after a show, one may even suffer from dry mouth, which is a very annoying problem to have. What’s worse, their hands may shake so much that they can’t read their own notes.It is important to find healthy ways to cope with stage fright. Many performers turn to self-medication, in an effort to dull the pain. This is never a good choice for anyone, because it can turn into a dangerous cycle for those who perform regularly. Like any phobia, stage fright is highly treatable. Many people with stage fright think that their performance will not be “good enough〞, thereby disappointing their audience and ruining their own careers. Therapy can help you learn to replace these negative messages with more rational thoughts and with the help of some therapists you will also be taught relaxation exercises that you can do when the anxiety becomes overwhelming.Stage fright is remarkably common, and many performers never seek help. Treated properly, however, the condition can be successfully managed.Directions： Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the informationgiven in the passage．Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance．I have forgotten the name of an old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my home town when I was a twelve-year-old boy．Yet it dwells in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I shall never forget．On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the slanted roof of the old lady's house from a spot near her backyard．The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles as they rolled to the roof’s edge and shot out into the yard like comets(彗星) falling from the sky．I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out．The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady's back porch．At the sound of fractured glass, we knew we were in trouble．We turned tail8〕and ran faster than any of our missiles flew off her roof．I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter．However, a few days later, when Iwas sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune．She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper,but I was no longer able to act comfortable in her presence．I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeksI had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window．I putthe money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking herwindow and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it．I waited until it was dark, snuck up to the old lady's house, and put the letterI didn't sign through the letter slot in her door．My soul felt redeemed and I couldhave the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old lady's kind eyes．The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warmsmile that I was receiving from her．She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bagof cookies she had made herself．I thanked her and proceeded to eat the cookies asI continued my route．After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag．WhenI opened the envelope, I was stunned．Inside were the seven dollars and a short notethat said, "I'm proud of you．"81.

The atmosphere of the gladiator games in ancient Rome was exciting, but the Romans were also watching men fight to the death!Who were the gladiators? Sadly, most men didn’t want to become gladiators. Some of them were slaves, prisoners of war and criminals. Very poor men often agreed to become gladiators because they didn’t have enough money to buy food for themselves and their families.Gladiators spent most of their days training to fight. At first, they practiced with dull weapons, so they couldn’t hurt each other. They learned how to protect themselves and how to fight. There were many different weapons to study and many techniques for fighting. Gladiators did get good food and medical care. Their owners wanted them to be healthy and strong.A gladiator had to fight about three times a year. There were terrible days for the gladiators. Although they had a chance to win a lot of money and even their freedom on these days, they also had to face death. However, when a gladiator was knocked to the ground, he still had one chance to live. If the spectators thought he was a good fighter, they would raise their thumbs in a fist. The loser would not be killed. But if they pointed their thumbs to their chest, the loser would die.The gladiator games were popular in Rome for 600 years or so, from 264 A.D., to the early 400s. But starting in 300 A.D., the Roman Empire began to weaken. The emperors had to worry about protecting their power. They spent less and less money on the gladiator games. Also, early Christian people began to gain more power in Rome. The Christians finally convinced the Roman emperors that these "games" were cruel and wrong.61．Which of the following may best explain the underlined word spectators in the 1st paragraph?A．Villagers who came to enjoy the holiday.B．Soldiers who came to fight.C．Civilians who came to cheer up the fighters.D．People who came to watch the fighting.62．Gladiators had to be strong and healthy to fight well so .A．their owner gave them money when they won gamesB．they had to learn some fight skillsC．their owners gave them good food and medicineD．they used dull weapons instead of sharp ones63. Which of the following statements is NOT correct according to the 4th paragraph?A．It was possible that no gladiator would be killed when a game was over.B．The loser of a gladiator fight would be killed immediately.C．Sometimes the loser-s life was decided by the watchers.D．The winner of a game might gain lots of money artd even his freedom.64．What was the real reason why the gladiator games came to an end?A．The Christians advised the Rome emperors to quit the games.B．The Rome Emperors needed more money in defense of their power.C．The gladiator games were really too cruel and wrong.D．Early Christian people became more and more powerful.65．Which of the following could be the best title for this reading passage?A．Roman Gladiators B．Christians and Roman EmperorsC．Colosseum in Rome D．Life of GladiatorsCWhen do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, Contact: The First Four Minutes, he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships: "Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that."You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met. He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room. If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves."On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his own needs, fears, and hopes.Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That s not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way."In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It's like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."But isn’t it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don’ t actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honesty" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. Fhere is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one-s opinions and impressions.Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends. For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutestogether be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.The author declares that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much we know. 66．According to the passage, when the average person is introduced to a stranger, what should he do?A．He should look friendly and certain of himself.B．He should pay little attention.C．He should look around to find someone he likes.D．He should try to have sympathy for the stranger.67．Which of the following will leave a bad impression during the first four minutes together in a social situation?A．Being interested in what the other person is talking about.B．Being considerate to the other person when realizing he has his own faults.C．Mentioning faults you find in other people.D．.Dealing with the unpleasant matter later.68．The writer thinks the first four minutes is important because .A．it is time to decide whether or not they want to become friendsB．it is time to appear friendly and self-confidentC．it is time to be too sure of ourselvesD．it is time to change our personalities69．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Total honesty is good for social relationships.B．After meeting a stranger, it is important to begin to complain about one’s health.C．Within family relationships the first four minutes is important after people have been apart.D．Success in life depends on giving the appearance of dishonesty and self-confidence in relationships with others.70．Which of the following can best summarize the passage?A．People are very glad to change their hobbies.B．It is of great importance to make use of the first four minutes when making friends.C．Success in life is related to reading and writing.D．It is necessary for the average person to tell new people the whole truthPART FOUR WRITING （45 marks）SECTION A（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORKD for each answer．Are you having trouble studying for that big test?

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.If you know anything about violin （小提琴）music, you have perhaps heard the word“Stradivarius”. Stradivarius is the name for the world’s most wonderful violins. They are named after their creator, Antonio Stradivari.Stradivari was born in northern Italy and lived from 1644 to 1737. Gremona, the town he lived in, was a place where violins were produced. Stradivari was very young when he learned to play the violin.He grew to love the instrument（机械）so much that he began to make them himself.Violins were new instruments during Stradivari’s time. People made them in different sizes and shapes and of different types of wood. Stradivari is said to have been very particular（特殊的）about the wood he selected for his violins. He took long walks alone in the forest to find just the right trees. He is also said to have used a secret and special type of varnish（清漆）to put on the wood. Whatever the reasons, his violins are the best in the world.Stradivari put such care and love into his violins that they are still used today. Many, of course, are in museums. But some rich musicians, who can afford the thousands of dollars they cost, own Stradivarius violins.Stradivari passed his methods on to his sons, But the secrets of making Stradivarius violins seems to have died out with the family. Their rarity, as their mellow（圆润的）sound, made Stradivarius violins among the most prized instruments in the world.81．Where were Stradivarius violins created?(No more than 3 words)(2 marks)82．How did Stradivari select the wood for his violins?(No more than 10 words)(2 marks)83．Why do some rich musicians spend a lot of money on Stradivarius violins?(No more than 11 words)(3 marks)84．What is the possible reason that the secrets of making Stradivarius violins died out?(No more than 14 words)(3 marks)SECTION C(25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.去北京念大学还是留在长沙大学是高三学生们讨论的热门话题。

2020-2021学年西南大学附属中学高三英语月考试题及答案第一部分阅读（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AElectric Shocks Can Be FatalGovernment statistics recently showed that in theUK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their homes. A smaller number of people are killed after they touch the power lines outside their homes. Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breath to stop and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic techniques to deal with such emergencies.What to do?● If you are the first person to reach someone who has an electric shock, don't touch him or her!● If the victim is still holding the appliance that gives him or her the shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source.Under no circumstances can you try to move the appliance with your hands!● Ifyou can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.● The victim must remain lying down. If he or she isunconscious, the victim should be placed on his or her side. But he or she should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is ly necessary.● It is essential to maintain the victim's body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸). Keep the victim's head low until professional help arrives.● If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.1. What kind of passage is it?A. An advertisement.B. A horror story.C. A news report.D. First aid emergency advice.2.

In which section of a newspaper would you most likely find this advertisement?A. Leisure & TravelB. Health & BeautyC. Restaurants & FoodD. Sports & EntertainmentCWhen the COVID-19 hit and supermarket shelves were empty, Chris Hall and Stefanny Lowey decided they no longer wanted to rely on others for food. The couple, who live on Pender Island in BritishColumbia, Canada, decided to start a year-long challenge where they wouldn't buy a single thing to eat. Instead they would grow, raise or catch everything—right down to sugar, salt and flour. Now, five months in, they say the challenge has changed their lives.Chris, 38, said, “It has always been something that we have wanted to do. We have had a garden and grown vegetables for a long time already. When the COVID-19 hit, it gave us that extra push that we needed to do it. Wewere both out of work when we started, and with the reality check of grocery stores running out of items, it gave us even more motivation to see if we could look after ourselves.”The pair spent the months before building a house for chickens, ducks and turkey as well as studying as much as possible to figure out where they would get all the things they needed. Chris adds, “We had to learn so many new things like how to grow mushrooms, process our Stevia plants, and harvest salt from the ocean. We spent a lot of time reading and studying online to figure out all the things we were going to need to do.”Now after five months, they both feel its been going well but Chris admits the first few weeks were difficult. “The first three weeks were very challenging as our bodies adjusted to cutting out coffee, wine and sugar all on the same day,” he says. “After three weeks our energy levels balanced out and our wishes reduced and now we feel great.” Now February has ended. As they come through winter, they feel positive about continuing with this way of living, with their challenge officially ending in August.8. Why did the pair decide to produce foods on their own?A. They were isolated by Pender Island.B. They couldn't afford to buy them because they were out of work.C. They believed it's good for their health.D. They could hardly buy them in shops.9. Which words can be used to describe the couple?A. Rich and generous.B. Helpful and positive.C. Optimistic and self-dependent.D. Motivated and brave.10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Their challenge may last about eleven months in total.B. They were discouraged by the difficulty at first.C. They had difficulty because they wanted more.D. They couldn't adjust their bodies to the hard work after three weeks.11. In which column may you read such a passage?A. Sports.B. Agriculture.C. Lifestyle.D. Business.DMy wife and I recently completed a day-long tour of the Great Wall with Jessie. In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history of theareas that we toured, she spoke excellent English and was able to answerall of our questions. Her driver was very experienced and polite, and we really enjoyed being able to have a customized tour that avoided the tourist traps and forced shopping that seem to be a part of the larger group tours.The attractions themselves were fantastic. I was a little worried that the snowy weather might impact our trip to the Great Wall, but everything went fine, and there weren’t many people out at all that day. I suggest wearing strong shoes—the Great Wall is really a hike. And in snowy or rainy days, the surfaces are pretty slippery (滑的)! Seeing this area in winter was really unique, and the snow made for great pictures. Jessie kept us entertained with stories and facts about the construction of the Wall, and always pointed out great spots for taking pictures.

2020-2021学年西南大学附属中学高三英语月考试卷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ASome young people win attention because of their good looks or their singing ability. A much smaller number gain fame because they have done something important and worthwhile with their abilities. Rishab Jain is among the latter. In 2018, 13-year-oldRishab developed a way to use AI technology to help pancreatic(胰腺的) cancer patients and won the3MYoung Scientist Challenge, a nationwide middle-school science competition, and its $25,000 prize.In the last stage of the contest, Rishab competed againstnine other finalists at the 3M Innovation Center(创新中心) in St.Paul,Minnesota. Leading up to the big meet, each finalist had partnered with a scientist to further develop their inventions.Rishab explains what led him to create his invention. First,a family friend died of cancer. Then Rishab learned about how deadly pancreatic cancer is, and that its low survival rate is due to how difficult it is to treat. "I'm also into programming, so I was learning about AI technology. I decided to try to solve a real-world problem using it."His winnings have been put in further research and in his nonprofit Samyak Science Society, which helps poor children enter the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. Rishab is also raising awareness about pancreatic cancer. These efforts make him quite different from teenagers of his age. Considering becoming a biomedical engineer or a doctor一or both, he has also put some money aside to further his own learning. Almost certainly the doors of higher education will open wide to him before he even knocks.That's an outstanding outlook for one so young. Rashib is committed to helping very sick people in need. He is also providing teenagers of his age with a much-needed model of what kinds of things youth can achieve.1. What can we learn about the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2018?A. It was intended to solve medical problems.B. It was a nationwide AI competition for teenagers.C. It offered the finalists an opportunity to work with scientists.D. It allowed the finalists to learn AI technology in the 3M center.2. How did Rishab win the 3M Young Scientist Challenge?A.He showed excellent programming ability.B. He figured out the survival rate of pancreatic cancer.C. He introduced poor children to STEM education.D. He applied AI technology to treating pancreatic cancer.3. Which of the following best describes Rishab?A. Talented and caring.B. Independent and humorous.C. Responsible and patient.D. Polite and inspiring.BFor years video games have been criticised for making people more antisocial, overweight or depressed. Bui now researchers are finding that video games can actually change us for the better and improve both our body and mind.Games can help to develop physical skills. Pre-school children who played interactive games have been shown to have improved motor skills, for example they can kick, catch and throw a ball better than children who don’t play video games. A study found that those who played video games were 27 percent faster and made 37 percent fewer errors than those who didn't.Games also benefit a variety of brain functions, including decision-making. People who play action-based games make decisions 25 percent faster than others, according to one study. It was also found that the best gamers can make choices and act on them up to six times a second, four times faster than most people. In another study by researchers from the University of Rochester in New York, experienced gamers were shown to be able to pay attention to more than six things at once without getting confused, compared with the four that most people can normally keep in mind.There is also evidence that gaming can help with psychological problems. At the University of Auckland in New Zealand, researchers asked 94 young people diagnosed with depression to play a 3D fantasy game called SPARX and in many cases, the game reduced symptoms of depression more than conventional treatment.4. In what way playing video games benefits very young children?A. Muscle control.B. Social interaction.C. Decision-making.D. The ability to focus.5. Which type of video game improves the decision-making speed?A. Interactive games.B. Action-based games.C. 3D fantasy games.D. Violent games.6. What is the authors attitude to video games?A. Indifferent.B. Objective.C. Worried.D. Critical.7. What is the text mainly about?A. The effects of different types of video games.B. The negative effects of playing video games.C. The beneficial effects of playing video games.D. The effects of games on people's behavior.CPreparations for the Tokyo Olympics have suffered another challenge after a survey found that 60% of people in Japan want them to be cancelled,less than three months before the Games are scheduled to open.Japan has extended a state of emergency in Tokyo and several other regions until the end of May as it struggles to control a fast increase in COVID-19 cases caused by new, more catching variants（变异体）with medical staff warning that health services in some areas are on the edge of breaking down.The Olympics, which were delayed by a year due to the pandemic, are set to open on 23 July, with the International Olympic Committee（IOC）and organizers insisting that measures will be put in place to ensure the safety of athletes and other visitors, as well as a nervous Japanese public.The survey, conducted between 7 and 9 May by the conservative Yomiuri Shimbun, showed 60% wanted the Games cancelled as opposed to 39% who said they should be held. “Postponement” — an option abandoned by the IOC — was not offered as a choice.Of those who said the Olympics should go ahead, 23% said they should take place without audience. Foreign audience have been banned but a final decision on native attendance will be made in June.Another poll conducted at the weekend by TBS News found 65% wanted the Games cancelled or postponed again, with 37% voting to give up the event altogether and 28% calling for another delay. A similar poll in April conducted by Kyodo news agency found 70% wanted the Olympics cancelled or postponed.The IOC's vice president, John Coates, said that while Japanese sentiment about the Games “was a concern”, he could foresee no situation under which the sporting events would not go ahead.8. How many Japanese wish the Olympics would not be held in Tokyo according to the survey?A. 60%.B. 28%.C. 37%.D. 70%.9. What should be put into consideration if the Olympics open?A. The economic crisis.B. The urban transport.C. The safety of athletes.D. The health condition of citizens.10. What is some people's attitude towards foreign spectators in Paragraph 5?A. Welcome.B. Unfriendly.C. Cold.D. Unsupported.11. What can we conclude from John Coates'words?A. The Olympics will be stopped this year.B. The Olympics will be put off.C. The Olympics will be held normally.D. The Olympics will take place in other place.DWhen rescuers were called to rescue a “little owl”, they did not expect to find one that was too fat to fly. A concerned citizen first spotted the poor bird lying helplessly. Even Rufus Samkin, whose team then took the team in on Jan.3, believed the bird to be injured. There were no wounds to be found, however, causing experts to believe the female owl was simply too wet to fly.But it was only after a thorough drying-off and complete checkup that they noted the real issue. The rescuers weighed the owl and concluded that she was “simply extremely obese” and couldn’t take off. This additional weight left her unable to fly, though experts began to wonder how she got so fat in the first place. Because it’s rather unusual for wild birds to reach such a state, they decided to keep her a few weeks and monitor her.In the end, the rescuers assessed that it was simply a case of “natural obesity”. December 2019 was quite warm, which meant that there were many insects for the bird to feast upon. Indeed, the owl was discovered in a field that was “filled with field mice” due to the usual climate. “It’s been very mild here, and the owl is able to find foods easily,” Samkin explained. With the sudden food, “she ly ate much and got very fat. She had a lovely time, but went too far.”The researchers consequently put the owl on a “strict diet” so she could shrink to a more “natural weight”. She was even put on a bit of exercise and encouraged to fly around. In the end, the bird was sent flying gracefully off into the British countryside at a much healthier and happier weight. Hopefully, this owl won’t come upon another feast of field mice—unless she wants another few weeks at the fat camp.12. What did people think happened to the owl at first?A. She was hurt.B. She was trapped.C. She was hungry.D. She was wet.13. Why was the bird unable to fly?A. She needed a thorough checkup.B. She should be given a drying-off.C. She was completed overweight.D. She was simply extremely strong.14. What made the owl have enough foods?A. The especially warm weather.B. The reducing number of insects.C. The rich fields growing crops.D. The lovely time the bird enjoyed.15. How did the owl loseits weight?A. Going on a diet and exercising.B. Flying in the British countryside.C. Visiting that fat camp again.D. Enjoying her wonderful feast freely.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。

This battery-powered, zero-emission (meaning it doesn't pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on renewable energy. Solar panels on the Eclectic's roof absorb sun rays when you're driving. On windy days, you can connect a machine to the car's roof that collects energy from the wind while you're parked. The Eclectic's top speed is 28 miles an hour; the battery lasts for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged.Zipping(迅速行进) around the neighborhood has never been better.Here's an eco-friendly way to tell time: Simply fill the Bedol Water-powered Clock's tank (箱) with water, add some lemon juice, and the clock will display the time without the need for environmentally harmful batteries. There are two sets ofmetal electrodes(电极) inside the water tank. Water contains ions(离子) that carry negative and positive charges. These ions complete a charge between the electrodes,creating enough energy to power the clock. Just refill the tank every few weeks, and this clock will keep on ticking.Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) will be the first car to attempt to break thel,000-mile-an-hour barrier. (The current record is 763 miles an hour.) A concept for now, the rocket-shaped car gets its original push to 350 miles an hour from a jet engine. Then a rocket fires up, pushing the SSC past 1,000 miles an hour. In order to keep the car streamlined(流线型的), the driver lies back at a 45-degree angle (角度).You’re having a blast at your friend’s birthday party. But when it's time to bring out the cake, everyone crowds around, blocking your view. No worries. Throw the Triops into the air, and this clever camera captures the view from above. The Triops can take three pictures at once, each from different angles. You can also record sounds and command the Triops to start shooting whenever it hears that noise. That's one smart camera. 【小题1】What is the common characteristic of the Venturi Eclectic and the Bedol Water-powered Clock?A．They don't need batteries.B．They are difficult to operate.C．They can be powered by water.D．They are environmentally friendly.【小题2】According to the passage, the Venturi Eclectic .A．is popular with businessmenB．is suitable for a long tripC．can turn wind into energyD．has only a little gas emission【小题3】The underlined phrase “having a blast” in the last paragraph probably means .A．looking at a pictureB．enjoying yourselfC．blowing out a candleD．recording sounds【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The Triops is sensitive to sounds.B．The driver of the SSC must be of great size.C．The color of the Bedol Water-powered Clock is like that of lemon.D．The SSC doesn’t have anything to do with a rocket actually.8.In fact, _______ one cause that leads to the problem.A．cattle isB．cattle areC．cattles areD．the cattles are9.Sometimes our opinions differ _______ what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we’v e observedA．whichB．sinceC．because ofD．because10.Many famous painters worked in Antwerp during the city’s period of greatest power but Peter Paul Rubens is undoubtedly the most famous one of them. Known as Rubens House, the palace-like residence(大宅) and studio where Rubens worked and lived from 1616 until his death in 1640 is now one of Antwerp’s most visited museums. Almost all of the works Rubens and his students created in the Rubens House have been dispersed (分散) over major museums across the whole world, but there is still an impressive collection well worth the visit. Besides paintings form the master himself you will find other works of art and furniture of the 17th century as well as paintings from his students, including works by Jacob Jordaens and Anthony Van Dyck.The Rubens House was not only a studio but also a meeting place for the rich and famous. His clients(委托人) included wealthy merchants, diplomats, and there were also many noblemen who often visited his studio to see how work progressed. The Rubens House even had a special viewing area which allowed visitors to see the artists at work.Ruben bought the house at the beginning of the 17th century after his eight-year-long stay in Italy. Influenced by Italian architecture, he rebuilt the building into anItalian-styled palace with a beautiful garden and moved in the house in1616.After his death the building was sold. New owners modified the building greatly and by 1937, when the building was purchased by the city of Antwerp, it hardly resembled the original structure.The impressive entrance hall, which connected the studio and the residence, is one of the few parts that survived. Other parts have been carefully restored and reconstructed after original plans and paintings of the house.【小题1】As a museum, the Rubens House is popular because _______.A．it lies in the famous city of AntwerpB．it holds all the works by Rubens and his studentsC．there are many people who enjoy visiting itD．Rubens, a great artist, lived and worked there【小题2】We can learn from the third paragraph that _______.A．the Rubens House was popular with upper-class peopleB．the Rubens House was the best studio in its timeC．Rubens’s students included noblemen and diplomatsD．people were not allowed to view the artists working【小题3】What can be inferred from the text?A．Thanks to its great painters, Antwerp became a rich city.B．Ruben possibly showed strong interest in Italian buildings.C．Antwerp must be a historical city in Italy.D．The Rubens House was completely rebuilt before 1937.【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE, according to the text?A．Rubens created his works by working with his students.B．A beautiful garden was added to the Rubens House by new owners.C．The Rubens House is decorated with furniture of the 17th century.D．Today’s Rubens House looks like its original structure.11.In his apartment there are two rooms, _____ is used as a living room.A．larger oneB．the larger of whichC．the largest oneD．the largest of which12.—Got your driving license?—No. I _______ too busy to have enough practice, so I didn’t take the driving test last week.A．wasB．have beenC．wereD．had been13.—Shall we stop for lunch _____ shall we drive on?—Let’s stop for lunch, but the driver can’t drink _____ drive.A．or, andB．or, orC．and, orD．and, and14.It is really _______ useful dictionary and _______ dictionary every one of us needs. A．an, aB．a, theC．the, aD．a, a15.The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre (大屠杀) on the road may be regarded as a social problem .In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others.A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence (疏忽). Researchers have pointed out that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can result from the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can affect drivers’ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be clear. The experts warn that it is important for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotion under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not only caused by drivers. Street walkers regularly go against traffic rules, they are to blame in most vehicle walker accidents , and many cyclists even believe that they don’t obey the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture (制造业) and through regular road-worthiness inspections (车辆上路安检). In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road. 【小题1】The following is mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents except .A．careless bicycle ridersB．people walking in the streetC．irresponsible driversD．irresponsible manufacturers of automobiles【小题2】Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph 3?A．To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents.B．To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.C．To show some of the inaccurate statements by researchers.D．To show the hidden tensions in the course of driving【小题3】What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?A．To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.B．To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walkers.C．To discuss traffic problems and suggest possible solutions.D．To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.【小题4】Which of the following best reflects the author’s attitude toward a future without traffic accident problems?A．Doubtful yet still longing for.B．Happy and rather confident.C．Surprised and very pleased.D．Disappointed and not concerned.16.It was ______ the old clock that the old man spent the whole morning at home.

Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go toCanadajust because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there So after I finished the study program, I went toYellowknifein theNorthwest Territories.I clearly remember the sixth night inYellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.The northern lights were flickering (闪烁) in the sky! I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that I lost all feeling in myhands and feet.As I took pictures of the northern lights, I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky. That’s because theycome about from the collisions (碰撞) between atmospheric gases and the solar wind. Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active, whichleads to the best northern lights. And the color1 s of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.4. Why did the host mother ask the author to go out?A. She wanted to take a picture of him.B. She wanted to take a walk with him.C. She wanted to tell him something important.D. She wanted him to see the northern lights.5. The author forgot to take pictures after going out because ______.A. the host mother didn’t remind him to take the cameraB. he was shocked by the wonderful sightC. the lights flickering in the sky disappeared too soonD. he lost all feeling in his hands and feet6. When is the best time to see the northern lights?A. When they appear in the north part of the sky.B. When they come down to the south part of the sky.C. When they are between the north and south.D. When they rise in the east part of the sky.7. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. Waysto take good pictures.B. The relationship between the sun and the northern lights.C.The color1 s of the northern lights.D. The time of the best northern lights.CWhen an animal species is considered endangered, it means that the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has evaluatedit as nearly extinct, which means that a majority of its population has already died off and the rate of birth is lower than the species’death rate. Today, more and more animal and plant species are on the way to extinction because of a variety of major factors that cause a species to become endangered, and as you might expect, humans play a role in quite a few of them — in fact, the biggest threat to endangered animals is human encroachment (侵入) on their habitats.Every species needs a habitat, where an animal finds food, raises its young. Unfortunately, humans destroy animal habitats in a number of different ways: building houses, clearing forests to getlumberand to plant crops, draining rivers to bring water to those crops, and making streets and parking lots.In addition, human development pollutes the environment with all kinds of chemicals, which destroys food sources and shelters for the creatures and plants of that area. As a result, some species die out while others are pushed into areas where they can’t find food and shelters — to make matters worse, when one animal population suffers, it affects many other species in its food web, so more than one species’population is likely to decrease.Habitat destruction is the number one reason for animal endangerment, which is why conservation groups work hard to repair the effects of human developments — many non-profit groups like the Nature Conservancy are taking measures to clean up coastlines and establish nature preserves to prevent further harm to native environments and species around the world.8. A species is considered endangered________.A. when the IUCN has noticed its population changeB. when most of its population has died offC. when the species’ birth rate is close to its death rateD. when the species is losing its habitat9. What does the underlined word “lumber” probably mean?A. Gas.B. Food.C. Chemicals.D. Wood.10. What is being done to protect the endangered species?A. Calling for human development.B. Raising money.C. Establishing nature preserves.D. Educating people.11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Habitat destruction causes animal endangerment.B. Animals die out due to environment pollution.C. Measures need to be taken to increase species.D. Non-profit groups are making great contributions.DHenry Cavill: Bring Superman to LifeHenry Cavill knew that he wanted to be a star at 16 years of age, after a chance meeting with movie star Russell Crowe who inspired hispassion for acting. But for the British-born actor, the bright lights and attraction ofHollywoodwere a long way away. Supported by his secretary mother and stockbroker father, he decided to study drama during high school. His journey to super star began.Before gaining the international recognition he has now, Cavill tried out for roles in the Harry Potter and Twilight series but failed to get either. He would have to keep waiting for his big chance.Determined as ever, Cavill took any acting jobs he could get his hands on and appeared in several low-budget horror movies and TV shows in hopes of getting noticed. It almost worked. In the early 2000s, at just 22 years old, he narrowly missed out on becoming the new James Bond. Finally, in 2007, his hard work paid off. He won a leading role as the first Duke of Suffolk in the period showThe Tudors. The TV show was very popular and helped to raise Cavill's popularity inAmerica.In 2011, Cavil landed his breakout role, playing Superman in the DC Extended Universe. He hasn't looked back and has since starred in many hit films, such asMission: Impossible- Fallout.More recently, he stepped back on to the small screen. Since 2019, he has starred in the popular seriesThe Witcher, adapted from the book series and video games of the same name. In the TV show, Cavill played a brave monster hunter named Geralt of Rivia, which was the perfect role for Cavill because he was a fan of the video games. Cavill also got a chance to play a classic English character — master detective Sherlock Holmes — in 2020'sEnola Holmes.However, Cavill isn't just a good guy on screen. His charity work also makes him a real-life hero. In 2014, he took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge while wearing his full Superman suit to support the ALS Association. Currently, he is an ambassador for the UK's Royal Marines Charity, which supports war veterans (退伍军人). Why does he do it? He love to make people feel good and bring smiles to people' faces. Indeed, Henry Cavill in living proof that you don't always need to wear a cape (斗篷) to act like a hero.12. Why did Cavil act in low-budget film and TV works early in his career?A. He was too polite to refuse.B. He was hoping to get noticed.C. He was encouraged to do so by his parents.D. He was friends with the directors of the projects.13. The role of the monster hunter was the perfect for Cavill because ________ .A. he had experienced hunting monstersB. he had played the same role in a movieC. he knew the writer of the books personallyD. he enjoyed the video games that the show was rooted in14. Which of the following words can best describe Cavill?A. Modest and friendly.B. Determined and kind.C. Talented and faithful.D. Honest and considerate.15. What made Cavill a real-life hero?A. Being a successful actor.B. Playing Superman on screen.C. Devoting to charities.D. Wearing a cape to take part in activities.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。

2020-2021学年西南大学附属中学高三英语三模试卷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AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BAlex Wong, a junior atMarkKeppelHigh SchoolinAlhambra,California, is working hard on his application to a top college. His resume shows off his nearly straight A’s in difficult classes, experience at a summer program atStanfordUniversity, Eagle Scout project and time on the soccer team as well as the school choir. But his steady progress stopped unexpectedly this year. Aiming to open access to college-level Advanced Placement (大学预科) courses, his schoolbegan using a computer-based lottery to give out spaces. Alex got shut out of all three of the courses he requested.The new system caused anger among families whose children failed to get into AP courses, which many consider important to develop advanced skills, improve grade-point averages and allow students to earn college credit, saving them and their families tuition dollars. Students and parents wrote to administrators to complain, circulated a petition (请愿) and launched a Facebook group for trading classes. “I’M DESPERATE! I’LL GIVE YOU FREE FOOD,” one student, Kirk Hum, posted on the 210-member AP Flea Market Facebook group.AP classes have long been held dear by the most talented and ambitious students.But now they are seen as positive for all students who are willing to push themselves – and schools are increasingly viewing access to them as a basic educational right. But this change has brought challenges.Miracle Vitangcol, a junior atDowntownMagnetsHigh Schoolwith average grades and test scores, is failing her AP US history class. She said she can’t handle the rapid pace and volume of material she needs to remember. But she said she intends to stick it out because the class is teaching her to manage her time, take good notes and work hard. “I’m struggling to adjust,” she said. “But I keep telling myself: ‘It’s OK. You can do it. Just push yourself’.”Some critics worry that the open-access movement is pushing too many unprepared students into AP classes, as shown by higher exam failure rates over the last decade. They also fear that open enrollment (录取) policies are encouraging teachers to weaken courses and give out high grades to students who don’t deserve them. “While expanding access is generally a good thing, we need to make sure we’re not watering down the experience for thehigh achievers,” said Michael Petrilli, executive vice president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a Washington-based educational policy organization.4. The purpose of the new AP courses system at Alex Wong’s school is to ______.A. make sure all students get access to the AP courses they desire.B. ensure that students have a fair chance to get access to AP courses.C. improve the academic performance of students in AP courses.D. separate high achievers from average students through the new courses.5. According to the article, the AP Flea Market Facebook group is a place where ______.A. students’ parents send their complaints to school administrators.B. students share tips about saving money for college.C. students offer items to trade for the AP courses they need.D. students can find support and guidance on their AP study.6. Which of the following statements would Michael Petrilli agree with?A. Opening AP courses to all students is a bad idea.B. School administrators should maintain high academic standards for AP courses.C. High schools should stop charging students for taking AP courses.D. Access to AP courses is necessary for students applying for top American colleges.7. The author used Miracle Vitangcol’s example to show that ______.A. students need to remember too much in their AP courses.B.AP courses pose a big challenge to unprepared students.C. the secret to success in AP courses is to keep pushing yourself.D. average students don’t deserve their places in AP courses.CFor years, Zach Ault, a father of three, enjoyed being physically active. He was even training for a half-marathon. But in 2017, he took time off to recover from an infection. After recovering, he tried to continue his runs but could not complete them. He was not able to spend time with his children. He had to cut back his job. Even sleeping as much as 16 hours a day made no difference in his condition.“His body had literally hijacked him and it wasn't going to allow him to push through, ” said Anne Ault, his wife. After months of testing, doctors announced their result-chronic fatigue syndrome, a disease that makes an individual feel extremely tired.This fatigue lasts more than six months and becomes worse after any kind of physical exertion (费力活动). Patients may have difficulty standing upright. They also may have trouble thinking, often described as a “brain fog”. There are no approvedtreatments, or even tests to help with diagnosis. There is no way to predict who will recover and who will have a severe case that lasts for years.Now the doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a unique study to learn more about the condition. Zach Ault is one of the subjects in the study. When Ault rides an exercise bicycle, scientists measure how his leg muscles use oxygen. Afterward, doctors fit a special cap on Ault's head to measure electrical activity in his brain. They then send him to spend the night in an air-tight room where air has been removed with pipe for additional study. Scientists measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels to tell how much energy Ault is using, minute by minute. “We're figuring out how his body adjusts to an exercise load, or a stress load.”“It's hard not knowing if or when I'm going to recover, ” he said. But Ault says the study did help him learn about the disease. And it gave him ideas about how to save up his energy.8. What was Zach Ault's life like before 2017?A. He was fond of exercising.B. He won several half-marathons.C. He spent much time lying in bed.D. He was busy looking after his children.9. How did the infection affect Zach Ault?A. He lost his job.B. He was unable to sleep.C. He became too weak to do sports.D. He was tired of running a half-marathon.10. What can we learn about chronic fatigue syndrome?A. It usually lasts no more than months.B. It is likely to cause thinking disorders.C. Patients with it need to stay in bed all day long.D. Patients with it should avoid any kind of exercise.11. What does Zach Ault think of the study?A. It helped him cure his illness.B. It helped him recover and stay fit.C. It taught him how to enjoy cycling.D. It brought him new ideas about fighting diseases.DScientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color1 from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, theyhalttheinterdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.12. What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean?A. End.B. Develop.C. Strengthen.D. Weaken.13. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?A. Restore the damaged reefs.B. Grow corals by hand underwater.C. Create more protected areas.D. Move corals to unpolluted areas.14. What do Gunning's words suggest?A. Many corals have been genetically improved.B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking.D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Relationship between corals and algaeB. Efforts made to save coralsC. Impact of climate warming on coralsD. Survival crisis faced by coral reefs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。

Taylor, Amber and their girls Finley, 6,and Sadie, 4, soon woke up and came downstairs, too. “Well, it was dark so we couldn't see anything, only could hear Marley,” Amber recalled, saying her husband then went for the lights. “And once he turned the hall light on, we realized that the guy was holed up in the corner trying to hide.”“So I think he got to the front door and realized he couldn't get out, and by that point in time, Marley's got him cornered,”Taylorsaid. Pham slashed (砍) both Marley and Taylor, and blood went everywhere. Taylor shared a video summary to his Facebook page, where he said Marley was stabbed (刺) up to six times, mostly around the head and neck area. “And as I pulled back, blood shot out of my arm,”Taylorcontinued. “She got him pretty good and I got him pretty good in the face.”“But it was really hard because I was trying to make sure that my husband wasn't going to die,” Amber explained, adding that she was trying to protect their two girls. “When he realized that the two girls were in the house, that's when he kind of backed up and started running. "Taylorexpressed gratitude to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. And the family is thankful for their dog Marley.“She's our hero,” Amber said. “If it hadn't been for her, that guy could have gone in the...he could have gone to their rooms or something.”Tayloradded, “Yeah, I mean, the story plays out very differently if Marley's not there.”1.

However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.4. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.5.

It helps livestreamers improve themselves.6. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.7. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.CThe world's largest iceberg is floating toward South Georgia in the southernAtlantic Ocean. Scientists fear the iceberg could crash into the island and block major feeding areas for a large population of penguins and seals. If the iceberg hits the island, it could prevent the penguins and seals from reaching food supplies.The huge iceberg is named A68a. It broke away fromAntarctica's Larsen C Ice Shelf in 2017. Satellite images show the iceberg has remained in one piece. It is estimated to be about 150 kilometers long and 48 kilometers wide. It is traveling at one kilometer per hour and is on a path to hitSouth Georgiain around 30 days.This is the time of year when seals and penguins spend a lot of time caring for their young. The distance that parents have to travel to find food is crucial. That means they have to go a lot further or go around the iceberg to find sources of food.Ecologists say an iceberg crash would also disturb materials settled on the seabed, possibly polluting the surrounding seas. As the iceberg melts, it would also release large amounts of fresh water into the ocean. This could affect krill（磷虾）populations that are a major source of food for the island's wildlife. The iceberg could remain for up to 10 years and change the area's whole ecosystem. These are globally significant populations of these species. If these species fail in this particular area, then the numbers globally are going to go down quite dramatically.Professor Geraint Tarling, an ecologist at the British Antarctic Survey, said, "The breaking off of icebergsfromAntarcticais a natural process. But the process is changing with climate change. What we're seeing with models and some observations now is that this is happening at an increasing rate. And so, this might become more of a usual thing in the future."8. Why are the scientists worried about the coming iceberg crash?A. It will bring extremely cold weather.B. It will destroy the feeding areas of the animals.C. It will put wildlife on the island at risk of starving.D. It will prevent animals from moving to other places.9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The characteristic of the iceberg.B. The importance of the iceberg.C. The traveling speed of the iceberg.D. The forming process of the iceberg.10. What damage can an iceberg crash bring according to paragraph 4?A. Using up much fresh water.B. Polluting the surrounding farms.C. Changing the world's ecosystem.D. Affecting the number of certain species.11. How does Tarling think of the breaking off of icebergs fromAntarctica?A. It may slow down in the near future.B. It may become common in the future.C. It has a great influence on the climate.D. It helps scientists conduct a sea study.DWhen Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had lefta book titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved.On a rainy Saturday, she picked up the book. As she sped through the pages, she became fascinated by the drama, which encouraged her to explore nature's wonders. Even though her high school teacher told her that girls didn't become scientists, she decided she would.She worked with a biologist, Charpentier, to turn a curiosity of nature into an invention—an easy-to-use toolthat can edit DNA. Known as Crispr, the tool will transform the human race. James Watson, the author of The Double Helix, later told her it was the most important biological advance: since he and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA.For this achievement, Doudna and Charpentier were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. Until now, only five women, beginning with Marie Curie in 1911, had won or shared the Nobel for Chemistry out of 184 award winners. When this year's prize was announced, Dr. Charpentier said it would provide a message specifically to young girls who would like to follow the path of science and to show them that women can also be awarded prizes.A few decades from now, if it becomes possible and sate to edit DNA, should we allow parents to improve the IQ and physical strength of their kids? Should we let them decide eye color1 ? Skin color1 ? Height? After helping to discover Crispr, Dr. Doudna has become a leader in considering these moral issues. That's the main message we should take from this Nobel: New technologies can be a huge benefit to the human race, but in order to make sure they are used wisely, it's important for people to understand them.12. Jennifer Doudna decided to become a scientist because,__________A. her father pushed herB. a book inspired herC. her teacher encouraged herD. James Watson motivated her13. Dr. Doudna was awarded the Nobel Prize because,__________.A. she wrote the book “The Double Helix"B. she discovered the structure of DNAC. she is a hardworking woman scientistD. she helped invent a tool for editing DNA14. According to passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The two women's success will inspire more girls to be devoted to science.B. Since 1911, there have been 184 people who won the Nobel for chemistry.C. If girls follow the path of science, they will surely achieve their goals.D. Crispr will make a big difference to the human race.15. Which words can best describe Jennifer Doudna?A. Determined and responsible.B. Ambitious and humorous.C. Cruel and indifferent.D. Fearless and stubborn.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。
