2023届黑龙江省哈尔滨市第九中学高三第二次高考模拟考试英语学科试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Four Special Hotels Around the WorldAmangiri, Canyon Point, UtahThis place in the Utah desert is a favorite of many celebrities. While every room here has character, none matches the elegance of the Girijaala Suite. The room has a large private lap pool, a sweeping balcony, and a sky lounge area where guests can bed down for the night under the clear Utah skies.andBeyond Ngala Safari Lodge, South AfricaAt this place on the border of Kruger National Park, guests can reserve a one-night experience in a four-level tree house to see animals that wander the park. With no ordinary structure, the house has a supply of solar power, a water collection system, and a bio-rock sanitation (卫生) system. Here, guests can sleep under the night sky taking in the magic of their surroundings.Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills, CaliforniaBeverly Wilshire has been an attraction to many rich and powerful people since its opening in 1928. Guests who reserve the Veranda Suite located on the roof of the hotel are in for a serious surprise. Not only is the room accessed by a hidden entrance behind a staircase, but it also has a 2,100-square-foot balcony with dreamy views of the Hollywood Hills. In the middle of this private, urban place is a 10-foot-tall tent with crystal lamps and fur carpets. In a city full of stars, you can get a special feeling.La Valise Tulum, MexicoIf you can’t decide whether you’d prefer to sleep indoors or outdoors, why not book a room that lets you do both in the same bed? Such is the feature of the Master Suite at this property in Tulum. The king-size bed can be rolled out onto the Caribbean Sea-facing balcony for a night under the stars or rolled in for a more private experience.1．Which of the following can offer guests a close encounter with some wildlife? A．Amangiri.B．andBeyond Ngala Safari LodgeC．Beverly Wilshire.D．La Valise Tulum.2．What is special about La Valise Tulum, Mexico?A．It gives guests two sleeping choices in the same bed.B．It is designed in an environmentally-friendly way.C．It provides the best view of deserts and rocks.D．It is equipped with a bio-rock sanitation system.3．What do the four hotels have in common?A．They are all located in a national park.B．They all provide guests with a great view of hills.C．They are all well-equipped with advanced technology.D．They all offer the experience of sleeping outdoors.On average, wildfires destroy over 6 million acres of land each year in the US. Last year, the U.S. Forest Service spent over $1 billion fighting those fires, mostly out West. Blazes start easily where there’s plenty of dry fuel, such as dead grass, sticks and other dried plants. Knowing how much fuel is available can help fire management teams know where and when to be on high alert. And a teen has figured out a way to home in on such areas quickly.Nadine Han, 13, is a seventh grader at Boston Latin School. When she built a robot three years ago with FIRST LEGO League, hers was designed to prevent wildfires. When the girl’s family visited Yellowstone National Park, later that year, what did they see? Evidence of wildfires. So Nadine followed up on that theme for her science fair project, and decided to find out how to predict wildfires.The teen learned about a satellite called SMAP. Launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 2015, it detects how wet or dry the soil is. It also can tell whether that moisture (水分) is frozen or liquid. SMAP’s data soil moisture can be combined with other data to determine the vegetation water content, meaning the amount of water present in the plants. SMAP’s data and the vegetation water content data are both freely available from the National Snow and Ice Data Center. For her project, the teen downloaded a year’s worth of data.Having compared plant water content and fuel moisture data for 1,413 different locations, she found that an increase in plant water content measured by the satellite was linked with anincrease in fuel moisture as measured on the ground. For her study, 87% of the sites showed such a link.“This suggests it’s feasible to use satellite data to estimate fuel moisture on the ground,” Nadine concludes. The teen now hopes her technique will help land managers determine fire risks more quickly. Next, Nadine hopes to make a computer program that will estimate fire risk using satellite data.4．What is implied about wildfires in the United States in Paragraph 1?A．They are a natural phenomenon.B．They happen less frequently year by year.C．They’re mostly caused by human activities.D．They cause damage to most of the land in the US.5．What made Nadine Han decide to research into the prediction of wildfires?A．Her interest in scientific research.B．Her success in creating a robot.C．Her involvement in a wildfire.D．Her visit to a national park.6．What does the underlined word “feasible” in the last paragraph mean? A．Challenging.B．Practicable.C．Valuable.D．Necessary. 7．What can be learned about the teen’s research into wildfires?A．She invested a lot of money in collecting data.B．She has designed a computer program.C．She got guidance from land managers.D．She’s confident about her research results.Some birds are inside decorators, placing big, showy feathers in their nests. But rather than beautifying their homes, these birds may be trying to scare nest-stealing neighbors.Birds sometimes weave feathers into their nests to provide insulation (隔绝). But behavioral ecologists Karen Wiebe and Tore Slagsvold also saw birds placing large feathers on the surfaces of nests. Those feathers wouldn’t help with warmth. The researchers wondered whether the birds might be using the decorations to send a message.For birds that nest in holes, competition for nests can be really fierce. Birds scream and fight, sometimes killing an opponent. But these holes can also hide danger. Eagles or otherpredators may be hiding inside. If a nest contains feathers or other remains, it might be evidence that a predator had been there. Those holes might not be desirable.During spring, when nest competition is the fiercest, the researchers set up pairs of nesting boxes. One box contained white feathers. The other either contained no feathers or black feathers. Inside the boxes, black feathers were more difficult to see than white ones. Using video cameras, the researchers spied on how tree swallows, blue tits, and pied flycatchers reacted to the boxes. They watched how long birds waited to explore a nest box. When birds took longer to enter, that suggested the birds were scared.Birds of all three species hesitated to enter boxes with white feathers. But when feathers were in front of a nest, birds jumped right up and grabbed them. That suggested that birds weren’t afraid of the feathers themselves.“It was really interesting to discover that birds were using a trick to help them keep their nests,” Wiebe says. “When a bird leaves its nest to search for food, it opens the door for a nest stealer. But if it can buy a little time by scaring away intruders (不速之客) with these feathers, then it has a better chance of coming back in time to defend its nest site.”8．Why do birds cover the surfaces of their nests with big feathers?A．To keep warm.B．To attract mates.C．To scare off intruders.D．To hide from predators.9．What did the researchers find?A．Feathers alone fail to frighten birds.B．Holes with black feathers scare birds most.C．Most birds are hesitant to get into white boxes.D．Birds like feathers similar to those of their own.10．What can we infer about birds from Wiebe’s words?A．They are poor at using tricks.B．They use feathers to play catch.C．They seek food near their nests.D．They may be aware of nest stealers.11．What can be the best title for the text?A．Birds protect their food from predators cleverlyB．Birds attach importance to decorating their nestsC．Birds decorate nests to scare off stealersD．Birds identify danger by feather colorsParenting styles and choices are known to influence the way that children develop and grow. Researchers are now discovering more about a similar relationship between owners and their pets. How you “parent” your dog has an impact on the kind of dog it grows up to be.The researchers studied 48 dog owners and their dogs, asking them to complete a pet parenting style survey before joining in three behavioral tests in the lab, assessing attachments and interactions between the dog and their human owners. Then researchers put the dog owners into three categories: authoritative (high expectations, high responsiveness), authoritarian (high expectations, low responsiveness), and permissive (low expectations, high responsiveness). The three behavioral tests covered attachment (how the dog responded to its owner during close interactions), sociability (how the dog responded when a stranger and its owner changed places with one another in the testing room), and problem-solving.Dogs with authoritative owners had the highest rate of secure attachment and were highly social and sensitive to social context, compared to dogs with authoritarian or permissive owners. What’s more, the only dogs to solve the problem best came from the authoritative group. So researchers came with the conclusion that an owner who’s highly responsive to a dog’s behavior and needs tends to lead to a more social, secure, and smart dog.The study matches up in some ways with previous research into parents and kids, specifically that children with authoritative parents are more likely to show secure attachment. It is thought to be because of the reliable support they get. “This research shows that the pet dog-human caretaker bond may be functionally and emotionally similar to the bond between a human parent and their child,” says behavioral scientist Lauren Brubaker.For now, though the study is enough to show that there is some kind of relationship between the approach we take as dog owners and the way that those dogs then behave, even with numerous other factors in play. “We still need to conduct more research in this area,” said the researchers in their published paper.12．What can we know about the research?A．A pet parenting style survey was needed.B．The dogs were divided into 3 categories.C．Dog owners were tested for sociability.D．Interactions between the dog owners were assessed.13．What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on?A．The purpose of the research.B．The process of the research.C．The findings of the research.D．The participants of the research.14．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to _________.A．parents B．pet dogs C．dog owners D．children 15．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To introduce some different pet parenting styles.B．To inform readers of a research finding.C．To instruct parents how to parent their kids.D．To persuade dog owners to be authoritative.二、七选五Flextime is a flexible hours schedule in which employees choose their own working hours, usually within approximate limits set by the employer or by the government. ___16___ For employees, flextime has a clear advantage. ___17___ For example, they can use flextime to create schedules which will allow them to go to school, handle childcare, assist relatives, and perform other tasks. Employees may also use their flextime to create a schedule which optimizes creativity. For example, some employees prefer to work earlier in the day to get more accomplished.___18___ First, it tends to increase employees’ satisfaction. This makes the company a better and more productive place to work. In addition, flextime can allow companies to serve clients for a longer time, as employees will be around at different times to answer phones, attend meetings, and so forth.Most flextime schedules include core time. ___19___ Employees are also usually given an hourly, daily or weekly limit to ensure that they do not break laws on working hours. Or the company is only willing to pay wages for so many hours of work each week.A classic example of a flexible time schedule is that someone who works four 10-hour shifts a week can take three days off. Flextime can also be combined with flexplace, in whichthe environment is better than that of the office. ___20___ Employers may also allow people to work in untraditional settings such as coffee houses.A．Employers benefit from flextime a lot, too.B．Flextime is also seen as a family-friendly policy.C．This method has been adopted by many employers.D．For example, home offices are increasingly popular.E．However, flextime may not be applicable to all fields.F．It allows them to create work schedules that suit their lives.G．It is a period of the day that everyone is expected to be at work.三、完形填空A few weeks ago, my 3-year-old granddaughter Frances asked, ‘‘Why don’t cardinals (红雀) migrate?” Frances’s question ___21___ me, not only because I had no idea what the ___22___ was but also because she knew enough to ask it. When I still ___23___ to find correct explanations after I had thought for a moment, Frances got bored with me and___24___, intending to ask others.Preschoolers love thinking about possible ___25___ of interesting things. They feel___26___ to wonder about anything, and they do so with ___27___. However, after entering primary school, discouraged by most adults, including teachers, most children ___28___ asking how or why questions.Fortunately, there’s no reason why we can’t all be lifelong learners. I’m 69, but I still experienced the same thrill of ___29___ I had as a child when I tried to ____30____ information on the Internet to answer Frances’s question about cardinals. I learned that Cardinals don’t migrate ____31____ they have enough food, and that they choose to stay together in winter months to keep them ____32____. After I learned about this, I was eager to see Frances again to ____33____ the knowledge with her while also ____34____ her further investigations.By embracing children’s acts of wondering, you become their ____35____ in finding answers.

2010-2023历年黑龙江省哈九中高三第三次高考模拟考试英语第1卷一.参考题库(共10题)1.It’s important for us to employ a word or a phrase according to the ______ in language studies．A．situationB．expressionC．conditionD．translation[来源:学.科.网]2.A technique that controls immediate gas explosions by spraying them with large droplets of water is being tested by scientists at the University of Wales, United Kingdom．Instead of using the traditional fine water sprays when a gas leak is detected, the researchers have discovered that large droplets help to draw in some of the force of any explosion and provide a better way of controlling fire．The research is based on studies made of the Piper Alpha oil rig（油井） explosion that occurred in the North Sea nine years ago killing 167 workers．The Welsh team found that by covering the gas-leak area with water droplets, the explosion and its e ffect can be greatly reduced．Dr Gerand Thomas, a good lecturer in physics at the university’s Center for Explosion Studies, said that it was impossible to deal with gas explosions in the same way as fires because the whole event may only last a quarter of a second and normal water sprays do not have time to be effective．Using the droplets of water to hold explosions resulted in the water being turned into a mist that allows some force of the explosion to be reduced．The mist slows downthe combustion（燃烧） process and can stop a large amount of thegas igniting（点火,燃烧）, thus greatly reducing damage by limiting pressure development．With such a system, the operator has to decide at what point after a gas leak to activate the sprays．The Center for Explosion Studies is the first of its kind in the UK and has been purposely-built for the study and implication of industrial explosions on land and sea．Research is developed to the causes of accidental explosions and they might be prevented．Full-sized imitative buildings can be built at the center where explosions and fires are created to test preventative equipment using sensors to monitor their efficiency．Another area that the Welsh researchers have been looking at is how materials respond to explosions．The center also carries out research requested by individual customers．【小题1】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Piper Alpha Oil Rig ExplosionB．Large Droplets of WaterC．A New Way of Controlling Gas ExplosionsD．The center for Explosion Studies【小题2】The research finds that _____ in holding immediate explosion．A．small water sprays are better than large droplets of waterB．small water sprays are not as good as large droplets of waterC．both small water sprays and large droplets of water are goodD．neither small water sprays nor large droplets of water is good【小题3】Dr Geraint Thomas implies that ______．A．normal water sprays can put out fire effectivelyB．gas explosions break out more quickly than firesC．fires are easier to be held than explosionsD．gas explosions break out so quickly that there is no way to control it【小题4】Which of the following is not included in the research area of the Center for Explosion Studies?A．To test the result of gas explosion．B．To get some implications of industrial explosions on land and sea．C．To find out how materials respond to explosions．D．To find out when material respond to explosions．3.It was an exciting moment for these football fans this month, _____ again Sun Wen appeared on the football pitch．A．thatB．whereC．whichD．when4.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is considered the cultural center of Bali, where you will discover the art and spirit ofBaliand learn about Balinese religion through paintings, dance, and other art forms. You could drink a beer while watching a local band perform, but most people come here for the cultural appreciation.Nusa LembonganThis tiny island off the coast of Bali is where many people miss their journey plans, but it is a must-see, It is the perfect place to stay for a couple of nights, The roads are not good, but the island itself is so beautiful and quiet.SanurSanur is an especially relaxing beach town. It's close to the airport and Kuta. It's also the starting place to explore Nusa Lembongan.KutaThebeachofKutais great for surfing. It is crowded and you won't get far without someone trying to get you to rent a surfboard or buy something. The main town is a mixture of market stands and shopping malls containing the biggest brands, from Zara to Ralph Lauren. The familiarity of the western style shops and restaurants won't give anyone too much of a culture shock.1. Which place are you probably advised to experience Balinese culture?A. Nusa Lembongan.B. Sanur.C. Ubud.D. Kuta.2. What is special about Kuta?A. It is a beach town near the airport.B. It has a convenient transportation means on it.C. It is a shopping center and famous for surfing.D. It is a place where you can learn Balinese history.3. Where is the text probably taken from?A. An official document.B. A travel magazine.C. A science report.D. A history book.BAs summer approaches, many kids and teenagers may find that they have more time in hand. One great way to make use of the extra time is to go on an adventure and travel. Clearly, I am not a naturally adventurous person, but I have found that takingthe risk and challenging myself to explore and travel to unfamiliar places can be a very rewarding experience.Because I am usually quite busy during the school year, most of my travels take place during the summer. Over the past few summers, I have hiked in the Grand Canyon, explored Niagara Falls, and camped out in upstate New York. Although these experiences are varied, they are similar in that they instill (灌输) a sense of appreciation for nature and a more balanced view on life. When I hiked in the Grand Canyon, for example, I was in awe(敬畏) of the geological influences that shaped the canyon.Adventures, of course, are not limited to hiking. There are many other choices, such as camping, volunteering in a foreign environment and travelling to different countries. In my opinion, adventures are more enjoyable with family or a few friends. There is a sense of bonding that one only gets through spending time together in outdoor adventures. For example, when I was in Boy Scouts, I often went on weekend camping trips with my friends. When I came back from a Boy Scouts camping trip, I often was eager to go outside more and explore the parks and nature around me.Next fall, I will attend college. In the meantime though, I hope to make the most of my summer to explore and travel. Now, I am planning on hiking and camping out in Maine.When I visited Maine last fall, I was amazed by how beautiful it was and the tall trees and coasts that exist, and I really hope to enjoy the beauty of nature there this summer.4. We can learn from the first paragraph about the author?A. He is an adventurous person by natureB. He likes challenging himself by travellingC. He enjoys travelling with other adventurersD He needs others’ help when going on an adventure5. Which of the following can make people’s adventure more enjoyable according to the author？A. Going to different countries.B. Going to unfamiliar places.C. Travelling withtheir family or friends.D. Travelling to distant places by themselves.6. What will the author do this summer？A. Explore Niagara Falls.B. Hike in the Grand Canyons.C. Camp out in upstate New York.D. Hike and camp out in Maine.7. Who is probably the author?A. A high school student.B. A college student.C. A friendly guide.D. A warm-hearted teacher.CAt the World Economic Forum last month, President Trump drew claps when he announced the United States would respond to the forum's proposal to plant one trillion(万亿) trees to fight climate change. The trillion-tree idea won wide attention last summer after a study published in the journal Science concluded thatplanting so many trees was “the most effective climate change solution to date”.If only it were true. But it isn't. Planting trees would slow down the planet's warming, but the only thing that will save us and future generations from paying a huge price in dollars, lives and damage to nature is rapid and considerable reductions in carbon release from fossil fuels, to net zero by 2050.Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion(偏离). Worse still, it takes attention away from those responsible for the carbon release that are pushing us toward disaster. For example, in the Netherlands, you can pay Shell an additional 1 euro cent for each liter of regular gasoline you put in your tank, to plant trees to balance the carbon release from your driving. That's clearly no more than disaster slightly delayed. The only way to stop this planet from overheating is through political, economic, technological and social solutions that end the use of fossil fuels.There is no way that planting trees, even across a global area the size of theUnited States, can absorb the huge amounts of fossil carbon released from industrial societies. Trees do take up carbon from the atmosphere as they grow. But this uptake merely replaces carbon lost when forests were cleared in the first place, usually long ago. Regrowing forests where they once grew can undo some damage done in the past, but even a trillion trees can't store enough carbon to head off dramatic climate changes this century.In a sharp counter argument to last summer's Paper in Science, Justin Gillis wrote in the same journal in October that the study's findings were inconsistent with the dynamics of the global carbon cycle. He warned that “the claimthat global tree restoration(复原) is our most effective climate solution is simply scientifically incorrect and dangerously misleading”.8. What do we know about the trillion-tree idea?A. It was published in a journal.B. It was proposed last summer.C. It was put forward by Trump.D. It drew lots of public attention.9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. A drawback of the tree planting strategy.B. An example of balancing carbon release.C. An anecdote of making a purchase at Shell.D. A responsibility for politicians and economists.10. What was Justin Gillis's attitude towards global tree restoration?A. Indifferent.B. Opposed.C. Hesitant.D. Supportive.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Contradictory Ideas on Tree Planting.B. A Trillion Trees Come to the Rescue.C. Planting Trees Won't Save the World.D. The Best Solution to Climate Change.DEach year, the women of Olney and Liberal compete in an unusual footrace. Dressed in aprons (围裙) and headscarves, they wait at both towns’starting lines. Each woman holds a frying pan with one pancake inside. At the signal, the women flip (轻抛) pancakes and they’re off!This “pancake racing” tradition is said to have started on Shrove Tuesday, 1445, in Olney. Shrove Tuesday is the day beforethe Christian season of Lent (大斋戒) begins. During Lent, many people decide to give up sugary or fatty foods.Legend says that in 1445, an Olney woman was making pancakes to use up some of her sugar and cooking fats before Lent. She lost track of time and suddenly heard the church bells ring, signaling the beginning of the Shrove Tuesday service. Realizing that she was going to be late for church, she raced out the door still wearing her apron and headscarf and holding her frying pan with a pancake in it. In the following years, the woman’s neighbors imitated her dash to church, and pancake racing was born.The rules are simple. Racers must wear the traditional headscarf and apron. They must flip their pancakes twice - once before starting and once after crossing the finish line. After the race, there are Shrove Tuesday church services. Then Liberal and Olney connect through a video call to compare race times and declare a winner.In both towns, the races have grown into larger festivals. Olney’s festival is an all-day event starting with a big pancake breakfast. Liberal’s festival lasts four days and includes a parade, a talent show, and contests that feature eating and flipping pancakes. Although the women’s race is still the main event, both towns now hold additional races for boys and girls of all ages.12. How did pancake racing start?A. A woman in Olney created it.B.
