2019-2020学年惠州市第三中学高三英语第三次联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AYou might not expect it, but cows are a large source of the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change. Cows produce lots of methane by breaking down the grass, Now scientists have shown that the pollution from cows canbe reduced by adding a little seaweed to their food.Scientists first discovered that seaweed could help control methane from cows several years ago. But this work was done in a laboratory, there were many questions about whether the idea could work in real life.In the lab studies, the cows were given quite a bit of seaweed, and they would cause losing weight. That wasn't helpful, since cows are often sold by weight. It also wasn't clear if the seaweed would stop working if it was used for a longer period of time.Now, scientists from the University of California, Davis have answered several of these questions.The researchers studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They taught the cows to get their food from inside a special hood, which allowed the scientists to measure the methane that the cows were giving off. This time, they used a much smaller amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows' food.The results were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given, but even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane.Over the five months, the scientists didn't see any signs that the cows' stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again.Another surprise came when they looked at the weight of the cows. The cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows, but they didn't need as much food.But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows seaweed. For one thing, there's notadequateseaweed to feed all of the cows in the world. So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots of seaweed.A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in fields, where they eat the grass. That means there's no chance to feed them seaweed every day. These problems need to be taken seriously if the world is going to avoid the worst effects of the climate crisis.Still, it's true that something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.1. Why did the scientists do the experiment on the farm?A. To control the amount of seaweed.B. To record the weight cows gained.C. To confirm the effect of seaweed in real life.D. To measure the amount of seaweed cows ale.2. The underlined word “adequate” means ________ .A. commonB. specialC. lackingD. enough3. The passage is written to ________ .A. appeal to people not to raise the cowsB. encourage people to plant the seaweedC. remind people of controlling cows' weightD. call on people to take actions to reduce the pollutionBTOKYO—Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told the media on Monday if any places hosting events of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics declare a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic during the games, the events will continue to beheld but without spectators (观众). With one month to go before the games are due to begin on July 23, Suga is again showing his administration’s determination to hold the Olympic Games as planned, despite so much pressure from various parties urging it tocancel the event.Although the Japanese government regards the Tokyo Olympics as an important opportunity to improve its soft power, the Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games has been continuously dented (挫伤) since they were postponed last year. The resurgence (再猖獗) of the novel coronavirus in some places is Japan in recent months has cast a shadow over people’s confidence that the Olympics will not give rise to new clusters (群) of infections, and there are fears that the Games will provide new channels for the virus’ global transmission.Some torchbearers from Japan have withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay in the country. And the latest survey indicates only 34 percent of Japanese people support holding the games as scheduled. Predictably, the Suga administration will do all it can to try to ensure the games go ahead. But it remains to be seen whether it can stand the tests of the uncertainties related to epidemic prevention and control that might happen during the Games.Since it has not yet got the virus under control at home, the people have reasons to question is ability to deal with the prevention and control work when large numbers of participants will be flocking to Japan from around the world in a short time. It is to be hoped that Japan can draw lessons from the organization of epidemicprevention and control work during the ongoing UEFA European Championship, carry out strict epidemic prevention and control measures, and be prepared for emergencies to guarantee the safety and success of the Olympics at this special time.It should be a common wish of the whole world that the Tokyo Olympics can become a stage showing unity and resolve of human beings in their fight against the virus. That willendowthe games with special meaning beyond sports.4. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The virus’ global transmission.B. People’ worry about the infections.C. The resurgence of the novel coronavirus.D. The benefit of holding the Tokyo Olympics.5. How do about one third of Japanese people like holding the games as planned?A. Uncertain.B. Negative.C. Approving.D. Indifferent.6. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “endow” in the last paragraph?A. Compare.B. Equip.C. Provide.D. Charge.7. What can be the best title for the news report?A. Japan can ensure Olympics go aheadB. Olympics big test for Japanese governmentC. Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the GamesD. Japan to carry out strict epidemic prevention during the GamesCRecently,as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team,I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him.His team was facing adversity(逆境)on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment-it was the opponent's home gym filled with their supporters,and Nathan's team was trailing(落后)for three quarters of the game.As for me,I had been dismissed from my job earlier in the day.During my drive home,I kept telling myself that I will find work again in a short time-I am confident in my experience and abilities.This is the same belief that I tried to instill in my son.The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan's team still trailing.I saw the determination on his,as well as his teammates'faces as they fought back to not only tie the game(平局),but then go ahead by three points.Then,a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again.With a tiegame and seconds on the clock,Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence,he proceeded to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him.The other player was called for a foul(犯规).As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points,I saw the focus and determination on his face,there was no room for self doubt.Nathan was able to tune out all the distractions and nail the free throwwith such skill,it was as if he had done it a thousand times.As I sat there,my heart bursting with pride,it dawned on me.I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity,and he had just taught me the same lesson.That brief moment of self-doubt andfeeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court.He will play in the finals,but it doesn't matter if he wins or loses,at this moment,we both won.8. What did the author estimate his son's team would be like at first?______A. The team would lose at home court.B. The team would finally win.C. The team would win the championship.D. The team would lose at visiting court.9. Which of the following words can best describe the author?______A. Self-doubting and pessimistic.B. Self-confident and optimistic.C. Hardworking and intelligent.D. Easy-going and warmhearted.10. What does the underlined phrase"tune out"in Paragraph 4 mean?______A. AvoidB. Focus.C. CreateD. Receive.11. Which of the following is the besttitle for the text?______A. Life Goes Just Like Playing Basketball.B. It Matters Whether to Win or Lose.C. A Lesson in Life and Basketball.D. Father And Son in Life.DLarry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what hehad always been famous for.Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children of his age were not even allowed to dive.After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them .Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for rry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken.The diving spots afforded such a wide range of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.12. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A. His daughter had grown up.B. He had become a famous diver.C. His father would dive with him.D. His daughter would dive with him.13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Larry had some special right.B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.14. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?A. Larry didn’t wear a watch.B. Larry was not good at math.C. Larry had a poor memory.D. Larry enjoyed the adventure.15. What did Larry expect his daughter to do?A. Become a successful diver.B. Make a good diving guide.C. Take a lot of photo underwater.D. Have longer hours of training.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。

"Ava,are you OK?" he asked.She was shaken,but otherwise unhurt.And then a scream came from the pickup above the waters of the bay.The driver dashed to therailing.Bauer ran up beside him.The man pointed down,saying something in Spanish.There was a car seat in the water.Struggling next to it was a girl,about two years old,terrified,floating on her back and crying. Matters quickly went worse when the girl rolled over onto her stomach. "Ava!Stay by the car!" Bauer yelled,drooping to remove his shoes.Would he get hurt?Could he reach the girl in time?No time to wonder.All he had in mind was the faith that she must be saved immediately.A moment later he was bouncing off the sandy bottom-unhurt!Bauer swam to the girl and lifted her out of the water:mouth half open,eyes nearly closed,not breathing.Standing,he laid her against his shoulder and hit at her back with the flat of his hand.Water came streaming from her mouth and slowly her eyes were opened.He pulled her close,hugging her to shelter her from the cold.A boat pulled up and hauled them aboard.Ava Bauer was so inspired by her father's actions that four months later she became a firefighter so that she,too,could save lives.

A Well-organized RescueCMorogoro,Tanzia,British research scientist,Dr.Donna Kean is training 170 rats to be sent into earthquake ruins to do vital work in finding earthquake survivors.The project has trained about seven rats to date,taking around two weeks to get the rescue rats up to speed.These rescue rats are sent into mock(模拟的)earthquake ruins with tiny backpacks that contain microphones,video gears,and location trackers.These tools will allow the rescue teams to communicate with earthquake survivors in real-time."I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes.We kit them out with a rat backpack,and train them to activate a switch when they find a victim and come back for a tasty treat. " posted Dr Donna Kean on Twitter on May 26,2022.Dr.Kean expressed how the rescue rats are ideal for this type of work saying,"Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get victims buried in rubble. " The highly swift rats never set off landmines and their natural swiftness makes them ideal for use in hard-to-navigate disaster zones.Their suitability for this work goes further,with rats being good at surviving in different environments and living off of anything.The rescue rats are even being trained to respond to beeps that call them back to their base.Dr.Kean's team collaborates(合作)with the non-profit organization APOLO for their "Hero Rats" project.These "Hero Rats" are set to start working with a search and rescue team in Turkey,joining earthquake rescue efforts in the high-risk area.The group of 170 rats is being trained for additional projects involving landmines,tuberculosis (肺结核),and even sniffing out Brucellosis,an infectious disease that impacts farm animals.Dr.Kean feels hopeful about her project's promising results and is excited to be the only organization in this space working with this species.8. Why are the rescue rats equipped with backpacks?______A. To monitor the rats.B. To locate the survivors.C. To record the rescue process.D. To keep track of the survivors.9. According to the passage,what can a trained rescue rat do?______A. Set off landmines accurately.B. Dig out those buried in rubble.C. Figure out the signal from beeps.D. Complete the task without a reward.10. What make(s)rats outweigh other animals in this project?______A. Their efforts in training.B. Their nature of rescuing.C. Their eagerness for survivals.D. Their adaptability to environments.11. What can be inferred about the "Hero Rats" project?______A. The results fail to prove the potential.B. The rats have to be trained repeatedly.C. The project probably pioneers in the space.D. The rats have been widely used in various fields.DWhen the Titanic sank,approximately 1,509 of its 2214 passengers passed away.A majority of them died because the ship carried lifeboats for only half of the people on board.By all accounts,most died either by drowning or of hypothermia,since the temperature of the water was -2° C (28° F),in which death occurs in about fifteen minutes.The survival rate for men was 19%,for women 72%,and for children,50%.Most survivors were first class passengers,followed by second class,and finally third class.Six of the seven children in first class survived,and all of the children in second class survived,but only about 31 percent were saved in third class.In short,the available evidence from the Titanic disaster suggests that we often care for others,even at some cost to ourselves.But why Do we in fact psychologically tend to be altruistical?Or are we blank slates (白板)on which culture and education draws our character,for better or worse?The survival rates of women and children appear to support the former explanation;but the culturally prejudicedexplanations of those facts appear to support the latter.Is there a way to judge between them?The blank slate theory of human nature is related to the seventeenth-century English philosopher,John Locke.He argued that the mind should be considered as a blank sheet of paper until it is furnished by experience,which varies from person to person.Locke's theory was a particularly effective way to weaken the influence of the church and of king's right to rule,both of which were held to be self-evidently true. The belief of the blank slate has proved to be greatly influential,extending far beyond the field of political theory.The social sciences generally have tried to explain human behavior as a product of the socialization of children by culture and education.12. Which group has the highest survival rate in the Titanic accident?______A. Men in second class.B. Men in third class.C. Children in first class.D. Children in second class.13. What does the underlined word "altruistical" in paragraph 2 probably mean?______A. Benefiting others.B. Hurting oneself.C. Receiving education.D. Making explanations.14. Why does the author mention the survival rate______A. To make a survey.B. To describe a scene.C. To provide evidence.D. To summarize the event.15. Which of the following would John Locke probably agree with?______A. Culture and education shape our character.B. Adult minds are like a blank sheet of paper.C. Humans are born kind and willing to sacrifice.D. A powerful government will change the culture.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)Being "outdoorsy" can stir up images of big beautiful national parks,snowy slopes or thick forests.

The audience of A Man Called Ove mayexperience different feelings.B WhenI was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. Thefields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake.At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed likea fine adventure. I walked on and on for hours. I was sure myguardian angel was whispering in my ear “turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn,so I walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun wasstarting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to endup trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again. I continuedto walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears whenI turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. Itwas a house that I recognized.I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away but my legs felt likefeathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walkedin with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Iremembered this recently when I saw a sign that said:“All roads lead home.” It is true.In this life,all roads,no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. What isimportant, though, is how we travel them. Are we going to goforth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith?Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make thislife a joyful journey? The choice is ours.24.

C Inmany ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community. It is home to about 400 elderlyresidents and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center---a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond. Established in 1991, the ILC’s purpose is to allow kids tolearn about acceptance while also being nurtured.It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth andstrengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC.The kids attend art and music classes, aswell as story time and exercise time with the seniors. MarieHoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniorshas proven beneficial for the young ones, making them moreopen- minded. “For the ILC children, interacting with theresidents is simply part of their day-to-day life here and the way aging is‘normalized’ , which may be the most importantbenefit they receive , ” Hoover said.“ I’ve had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our programto let me know about some incidents when their child was thefirst to warmly greet someone who happened to be in awheelchair. ” As for the seniors, they’re delighted by the companionship the children provide.The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widowsor widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children maystill be working, so they may not get to see them as often asthey would like. Having the children stay with the old makesour residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this uniquefacility. 28. ILC is intended to _______. A. build a typicalsenior living community B. take good care of the children C.benefit both the children and the seniors D. rid the seniorsof loneliness29.From what Hoover said in Para. 3,we can learn that the ILC children _________. A. keep in touch with theseniors even if they have left ILC B. cometo realize that aging is a normal part of life C. take different attitudes to theelderly after graduation D. think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC 30. The last paragraph mainly tellsus _________. A. the benefits the seniors receive B. thesituation of the seniors C. children’s company D. the interaction between the children and the seniors 31. Theunderlined words this unique facility may refer to _________.A. a special buildingB. a typical familyC. a typical teaching programD. a special learning center D Are you content with the shape of your nose? If not, the climate may be to blame , notyour parents. This is according to a recent study carried outby scientists from Pennsylvania State University, US. Theyfound that climate played a key role in shaping our noses. The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses of476 people from four regions---West Africa,East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe, using 3-D facial imagingtechnology.“People have thought for a long time thedifference in nose shape amonghumansacross the world may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate,”Arslan Zaidi, one of the lead authors of the study, told TheGuardian. But while previous studies were based on measurements from human skulls, Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself.The result showed that wider noses are more common in warmand humid climates, while narrower noses are more commonin cold and dry climates. That, Zaidi said, could be becausenarrower nasal passages help to increase the moisture(湿润 ) content of air and warm it ,which is easier on our lungs.This,in turn,led to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator. More study is still neededto test the link between climate and nose shape, but Zaidibelieves the current findings are valuable in understandingpotential health issue.“As we become more of a global community,we are going to come across climates that we are not adapt to, ” he told the Guardian. This means moving to a verydifferent climate might increase the risk of breathing problems. However, he added, “This may not be necessarily true forvarious reasons such as of modern medicine and the fact thatour current climate is very different from what it used to be. ”32.From the passage we know most people from Singapore have________ noses. A. wider B. narrower C. smaller D. larger 33. Narrower noses are helpful to________. A. cool the air B. warm the air C. take in more oxygen D. dry the air 34. What can belearned about the study? A. Zaidi ’s team measured human skull using 3-D technology. B. Shapes of our noses are determined by our parents. C. Nose shape helps people adapt to the environment.D. It ’s certain that people will suffer from more breathing problems. 35. Which of the following can be the best title ofthe passage? A. What factors shape noses? B. How to make yournose attractive? C. Nose shapes cause breathing problems D.Climate shapes noses第二节(共 5 小题,每题 2 分,满分 10分)依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

第I卷 第二部分 阅读理解(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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Travelling by car in Switzerland is very easy, as villages and towns are very well marked and accessible. All green road signs indicate a highway or autobahn, blue signs are secondary roads and white signs back roads. *Limitation The speed limit is 120 km/h (74 mph) on the autobahn, 80 km/h (50 mph) on secondary roads outside of towns and 50 km/h (30 mph) in towns if not indicated differently. Roadside automatic radar-triggered cameras help enforce these limits. Police are empowered to collect fines on the spot. The minimum age of a driver is 18 years. Seat belts are compulsory for front and rear-seat passengers. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08 . *Getting through For travelers with motor-homes, it's good that even large motor-homes can travel through the mountain passes. The roads are well maintained and large enough even for trucks. Remember, Switzerland is a very small Country (ca. 250x400 km) and you can easily drive from one end to another in 3 - 5 hours if you stick to the highways. If you plan to travel to Switzerland by car, take your time, you can plan to see lots of places in a short amount of time. Plan to drive for diving's sake, and try to minimally constrain yourself with time-related issues. The mountain resort towns of Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt cannot be reached directly by private motor vehicle. Park at the railway or sky tram station and complete the journey via public transport. Trams always have priority. Buses have priority when leaving a bus stop. Traffic going up a mountain has priority. Some mountain roads require one-way traffic during certain hours only; these hours will be posted at either end of such roads. 2
*Fuel Fuel stations along expressways are usually open from 6:00 a.m. to 10pm or midnight. Outside of open hours fuel is commonly available from automatic pumps that accept 10 and 20 SwF(瑞士法郎) notes or credit cards. Many stations accept major charge cards like Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Fuel price ranges from SFr. 1.75.- to 1.95.- depending on the oil price. 21. What can you know from the text? A. The mountain roads are wide enough for motor-homes or trucks to go through. B. Travelers should try to save time to cover the places of interest in Switzerland. C. Travelers can ride motor-homes to visit Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt. D. In Switzerland people over 16 are permitted to drive. 22. What might NOT be available for travelers to pay fuel in Switzerland? A. Swiss Francs B. Ali-pay C. MasterCard D. American Express 23. What type of writing is this text? A. Geography poster B. An activity announcement C. Travel journal D. Travel guide B Since I was first in China in 2012, my life, and China itself, have developed and changed a lot. My first China interaction was in 2012, when I came here with a friend. We traveled from Beijing to Hong Kong, all in 5 weeks. We had a fantastic time meeting local people, exploring beautiful places and eating delicious food. After this experience traveling across China and eating local food, I really wondered ―How did I live without eating dumplings and eggplant on a weekly basis?‖ Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 22 years! As my Chinese improved during my studies I became more independent and more aware of the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. I suddenly noticed the thousands of Waimai drivers zooming across the roads on their motorcycles. On deep, dark Beijing winter days and rainy days, Waimai is like the holy grail and as I enjoyed my take - away dumplings I would think and laugh to myself, ―How did I live before without being able to get Waimai?‖ Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years! In mid-2015, I was back in China again for my master's degree. That's when I came across my first Mobike: ―Oh, that’s a unique bike and surely it will get stolen soon ‖, I thought as I passed on my own black bike. But one week passed and I saw it still there. Then the one Mobike sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnight the streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I pondered on how I ever lived without my shared bike account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years! China today is a country still steeped in ancient knowledge and custom, yet one that is also bursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same, something else is constantly
