2019-2020年高三12月月考英语试题含答案II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: Read the following two passages. Fill in the blanks to make the passagecoherent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper formof the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word.Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.You may think that mom-and-pop stores are gradually dying out, giving way to chainstores and big business,(21) you would be wrong. The online shoppingplatform Taobao is a game changer and(22) (revolutionize) the way we buyand sell.Taobao, or “treasure hunt”, recently became the largest e-merce website in termsof traffic, surpassing Amazon. It has 190 million (23) (register) users andserves (24) (big)marketplace in the world. Half of China’s Internet users goto Taobao, either to browse, buy or sell, according to Web information pany Alexa.(25) Taobao borrowed its original business model from eBay when itstarted up in xx, the student soon became the master. Just three years later, eBayshut down its site and now Taobao controls about 80 percent of the country’s onlineshopping market.It charges almost (26) to list items for sale and makes most of its moneyfrom advertising. It also plans to share transaction data with its users so they cancash it on buying trends. This allows anyone with an idea and a puter to start a viablebusiness, doing away (27) the need for significant start-up capital. (28) opening up a store on the high street selling to passersby, the world is every Taobaouser’s oyster.A friend of mine is a typical. She opened up a store selling children’s clothingnear Nuren Jie, (29) was a popular market in Beijing. It was not a greatsuccess but her online sales through Taobao went ballistic. She closed the store andis now e-merce only.Effectively, taobao has bee the country’s high street, but with global reach.(30)China is the worl d’s manufacturing base, it is relatively easy for individuals to source cheap goods and sell at a reasonable markup. Micro-stores are opening in their thousands everyday and delivering an amazing variety of goods.but；has revolutionized; registered; the biggest; Although; nothing; with; Insteadof; which; AsSection BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word canbe used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The movie ”Jurassic Park” shown sometime this year took cinema lovers by stormand since then, there has been a revived interest in dinosaurs. Numerous articleshave been written and intensive research has been conducted on dinosaurs.Scientists believe that dinosaurs came into existence about 180,000,000 yearsago, but have been extinct for several millions of years, and to-date, only reconstructed fossil (31) serve as tangible(实际的) proof that dinosaurs didexist on earth at one time.Dinosaurs were actually reptiles, a separate class of animals with the following (32) ;they are cold-blooded; they can live on land; they have a (33) typeof heart and most of them have scales.The first reptiles appeared long before the dinosaurs (34) big lizards and (35) short tails, thick legs and big heads. They subsisted mainly on plants.The first dinosaurs resembled their reptile (36) ,but they could walk on theirhind legs. Some kinds remained small, but in the course of time, others grew to (37) sizes and lengths, ranging from 8 to 20 feet and weighing more than an elephant. Therewas a giant dinosaur, known as Brontosaurus, measuring70-80 feet long and weighing38 tons. Another(38) kind, called Allesaurus, could walk about on land, and (39) on the Brontosaurus and other plant-eating reptiles, with its sharp teeth and powerfulclaws.Today, dinosaurs are only found in books, pictures and in motion pictures. With the remarkably widespread interest in dinosaurs, people bee agog in asking this question: Why did the giant creatures bee extinct? Many scientists offer one conjecture(猜测) that they disappeared because of the changes in the climate of the earth, which deprived them of the places to live in and feed. Other experts have recently e up with the theory that giant meteors (40) upon the earth and destroyed the dinosaurs in an instant. Many more theories may be put forward by experts, but still, no one had a conclusive and definite answer to the puzzle.HFACI DKBEGIII. Reading prehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The most obvious benefit of a single currency is that it will no longer be necessary to incur(引起)the costs of exchange from one currency to another. Travelers know that these costs are not negligible. First of all, there is a mission (41) (usually a fixed amount); secondly, the price (42) which the traveler purchases foreign currency for domestic currency (43) from the price of exchanging back surplus (过剩)foreign currency. The removal of these transaction costs constitutes a gain from monetary union.Another benefit is that removal of exchange rate (44) between the countries of the EU would provide much more assurance to (45) location decisions. At present, a pany takes (46) of the risk of exchange rate variation in its location decision, and this may lead it to scatter its plants across the various economies to hedge against(防范)the risk of exchange rate variation. Removing this source of uncertainty allows investors to (47) according to economies of scale and may lead to more plants of (48) size, a reduction in unit cost of production, and increase in (49) .A single currency provides the (50) for counter-inflationary(反通胀)policies.A single currency could lead to a (51) in the market discrimination that currently exists in the EU(for example, prices of motor cars of the (52) specification(规格) stand higher in the UK than they do in France) as the quotation(报价) of prices in mon currency discourages arbitrage(套利)activity and reduces the market division(53) which such discrimination relies.(54) , firms in one country cannot continue to (55) their prices higher than their European petitorsand still remain petitive.41.A. money B. sum C. tip D. charge42.A. on B. at C. in D. over43.A. different B. infers C. differs D. variable44.A. float B. contrast C. difference D. variation45.A. appropriate B. cooperative C. corporate D.reasonable46.A. account B. count C. mind D. range47.A. decide B. locate C. choose D. invest48.A. largest B. maximum C. medium D. optimum49.A. effect B. effectiveness C. deficiency D. efficiency50.A. shade B. firework C. framework D. door51.A. rise B. reduction C. revival D. cause52.A. same B. different C. similar D. excessive53.A. in B. on C. over D. at54.A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given inthe passage you have just read.(A)The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, bee "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern are being more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of remendation in the intense petition for admission to graduate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the pletion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—may it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.56.what do stiletto heels refer to according to the passage?, ___.A.Heels most appropriate for catwalks.B.shoes that fit retail sector workers best.C.heels with the limit of an inch.D.very high heels that women wear.57.why did the Trade Union leaders propose to ban stiletto heels from the workplace?A.they believed that these shoes are harmful to women workers’ health.B.they maintained that women should decide what to wear at work.C.they thought these shoes give women excuse to ask for a sick leave.D.they didn’t want to work in the place that looks like Hollywood.58.Nadine Dorries disapproved the motion because she felt that the extra height of the heels_____A.improved her vision.B.boosted her confidence.C.helped people to find her.D.made her more in control of her life.59.How does Michelle Dewberry see the motion?.A.It should be supported for the sake of women’s health.B.The union officials shouldn’t have debates o n any motions.C.It’s unnecessary and women have right to decide what to wear.D.The union leaders should decide on the tightness of ties instead.DABC(B)Noad was a tall, handsome 23-year-old Balinese man who was in love with one girlbut expected to marry another. His stepmother had arranged everything- he would wed a distant relation and bring the two families closer together. Noad had two choices. He would either marry the girl he did not love, or he could go against the wishes of parents and be expelled from his village. Actually he had another choice, one which none of his family foresaw. One day his friends found him slumped in a ma on hes bed after he had consumed two litres of a powerful insecticide.For more than 60 years the tropical Indonesian island of Bali has been portrayed to the outside world as a heavenly paradise where a strong culture and sense of munity protect its inhabitants from the rigors of the modern world. It is an image supported by many millions of dollars from the international hotel munity which provides luxury acmodation and facilities for nearly a million foreign visitors now travelling annually to the holiday island.Yet behind the marketing hype lies another story- one which exist in stark contrast to the s un, sand and sea”dream”. The truth is that the lives of Bali’s 2.7 million local inhabitants are often marked by poverty, suffering and family conflict. Ketut is a 22-year-old maid who works part-time for an expatriate resident in Ubud, in the centre of the island. Her husband works as a driver for a white-water rafting pany which provides day trips to tourists.”sometimes i have no money for my baby because my husband gambles all his wages.” the husband’s father, unfamiliar with western support system, bats his son’s behavior by calling in the dukun, a spiritual” healer”who makes offerings to the bad spirits at play in his mind.60. You would expect to find this passage in______ ?A. A newspaperB. An advertisementC.a travel brochureD.a book61. It can be inferred from the paragraph 1 that the third choice that Noad’s family failed to foresee is that____.A. He fell into sleepB. He went against their wishes and left homeC. He mited suicideD. He started to take drugs62.In paragraph 2 it refers to______A. Strong culture.B. Sense of munity.C. Heavenly paradise.D. The modern world.BCC(C)Most people dont leave their front door unlocked, and the same is true of their home Wi-Fi networks. But some believe that preventing access to your wireless Internet actually does more harm than good. Peter Eckersley of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organisation devoted to defending digital rights, is calling for an "Open Wireless Movement" and encouraging people to be "socially responsible" by sharing their connection. Eckersley pares the current situation of locked-down networks to "finding yourself parched(干透的)and thirsty while everyone around you is sipping from nice tall glasses of iced water", and offers a technological solution. We restrict access to our networks for two reasons: to prevent other people from using up our bandwidth, and to ensure our security and privacy. He suggests we can still protect ourselves from both problems by using routers(路由器)that share a certain amount of bandwidth in the open while also providing an encrypted(加密的)connection for personal use, but such technology already exists, and people arent choosing to use it. Perhaps the problem is not technological, but legal, as home users dont want to be responsible for the activities of others on their network. Quite understandable, really. But Eckersley says that "individuals can enjoy the same legal protections against liability as any other Internet access provider", but the law is far from clear in this area and differs from country to country. In a footnote on his article, Eckersley says US law "may" offer protection, but that didnt prevent a man who left his network open from being called a paedophile(恋童癖者)by armed police in his livingroom this past weekend. Courts in Germany have previously ruled that people can be fined if they allow unauthorised users to access illegal materials through their connection, while in the UK disputes over recent changes to the law leave the matter uncertain. Perhaps these legal concerns can be overe by turning to an unlikely role-model —Estonia, where access to the Internet is a legal human right. The country is blanketed in a network of free Wi-Fi access points in cafes, bars and other public locations, allowing people to easily get online almost anywhere. So who wants to open up their network first?63 What does the author say about the Electronic Frontier Foundation?A．It encourages people to share their networks.B．Its work is about protecting digital rights.C．It is advocating an "Open Wireless Movement".D．Its main business is trading electronics.64. One reason leading most people to lock their network is________A. Laws protect home users of internet from responsibilities.B. Internet access provides take no responsibility for their users’ illegal activitiesC. Home users enjoy the same right as internet access providers.D. It is internet access providers who should be responsible for their user’s activities.65. What can be inferred from Eckersl ey’s words individual......internet access provider in para4_________.A. Laws protects home users of internet from responsibilitiesB. Internet access providers take no responsibility for their for their user’s illegal activities.C. Home users enjoy the same rights as internet access providersD it is internet access providers who should be responsible for their user’sactivities.66. What information can be got about Estonia from the passage? .A.It restricts free access to internetB. Free Wi-Fi is set up all over the countryC. It is impossible for other countries to follow its suitD its people can get free Wi-Fi access almost everywhere.BCBDSection DDirections: Read the following passage and fill in each blank with the sentence that best fits the context. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.Second Life is an online imaginary world where a puter user can create a new self and experience a separate life. Second Life is similar to other popular "massively multiplayer online role-playing games." The pany Linden Lab of San Francisco, California created Second Life in two thousand three.____67____Then he or she creates an electronic image, or animated character, called an avatar. Some people try to make their avatar look as close to their real self as possible. Other people change their sex or bee an imaginary creature as their Second Life avatar.Once you have your avatar you bee a "resident" of Second Life. ____68____Your avatar also can make friends with other Second Life avatars. Residents can go to school, own a business, even get married. But, there are also activities in Second Life that are impossible in the real world. For example, if you do not feel like walking to that park near your Second Life home, why not fly?____69____But it costs money to get other accounts and to buy land. The virtual world has its own currency, the Linden dollar. You use these to buy virtual clothes, property, entertainment and many other things. You can earn Linden dollars by working at a job. That unreal money has a real life value. About two hundred fifty Linden dollars are worth one American dollar.Second Life is popular among schools and businesses.Many universities have set up campuses on the Web site. Many kinds of stores can also be found there. And, entertainers sometimes perform live on Second Life with their Second Life avatars.____70____It is said that the total number of residents is more than thirteen million from more than one hundred countries.BCDFIV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.It’s a joy to be youngA noted American psychologist once remarked that childhood is a magical period in one’s life．Indeed it is, for during childhood, one undergoes a step-by-step transformation not only in mental capacity, but also in physical and verbal skills．Each step signals an increase in the difficulty of a child’s conceptual and learning abilities．During the early stages of childhood, from infancy to about five, the child learns simple skills including using the toilet, bathing and dressing himself independently．At this stage, he also learns to be very observant, curious, imaginative and creative．His ability to remember things also leaps at this stage． He remembers details that an adult may have difficulty in remembering．Gradually , he learns elementary skills in problem-solving．As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the plexities of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates．He also learns to experiment with new life situations, including dates and part-time work．Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play.Some youngsters look at life pessimistically. They plain that it is a tragedy to be young because they are faced with what they consider insumountable(无法克服的）problems and pressures at home and school, let alone with the opposite sex. Given that, however, children’s pressures pale in prison with the adults’. It is truethat studying can be burdensome at times, but at least children do not have the same pressure and burden that adults feel-the burden of working to make endsmeet and give the children a decent and fortable life.It is an inescapable truth that childhood is a happy stage- a time of sheer joy, innocence and freedom from the plexities and challenges of the adult world.第II卷（共40分）I.

AAs a nation of animal lovers, Britain has been rocked by a study that at least ten million pets suffer mental or physical stress.Two million dogs are left alone daily for longer than recommended and 750,000 rabbits are fed too little grass, at least three million dogs and cats have never been vaccinated（接种疫苗）, the research indicates. Shocked animal welfare campaigners are calling on owners to give their pets urgent attention.A spokesman for animal charity said, “We know that owners love their pets, but many do not understand what their pets need.”The charity’s survey is the first to measure the well-being of Britain’s 12 million cats, eight million dogs and 1.7 million pet rabbits. It found that five million cats, four million dogs and more than 700000 rabbits would be suffering mental or physical stress because their owners do not look after them properly. About 2.4 million dogs are mainly fed on leftovers, rather than nutritionally balanced dog food.About 1.9 million dogs are left alone each day for more than four hours, even though vets say four hours should be the maximum. Around 15 percent of owners believe it is acceptable to leave a dog for eight hours without attention while four per cent say dogs can be abandoned for more than ten hours without suffering.The survey also revealed the Britain’s cats are overfed, with more than half of ownersadmitting their cats are overweight. Rabbits are also neglected. In the wild they live in large groups, but 67 percent of pet rabbits live on their own, which creates the risk of boredom and stress.Another spokesman said, “Our report reveals that there is much work to do to raise awareness of what pets need to live healthy and happy lives.”21. The author has written this article to______.A. explain what pets should eat to keep healthyB. show the present physical and mental situation of petsC. tell readers what is a good happy life for petsD. call on people to take good care of their pets22. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the text?A. Dogs should be left alone for more than eight hours without suffering.B. About 2.4 million dogs are fed on nutritionally balanced dog food.C. Pet rabbits living together creates the risk of boredom and stress.D. More than half of cats in Britain are overfed and overweight.23. You can read this article in a _______.A. health magazineB. Biology textbookC. newspaper advertisementD. book reviewBA head teacher at a primary in Glasgow of Scotland has received a pressing request from a parent. Would it be possible，on the last day of the summer term, to separate the playing field so that a helicopter can land?It is for an 11-year-old pupil whose parents want to do something special to mark their last day at the school. They have spent $500 on a helicopter so that their child can make what they believe is a fitting arrival for the school prom(舞会).$250-an-hour stretch limousines(加长豪华车)are being hired out at such a rate that most firms are fully-booked for Friday, July 23, the day on which most primary schools break up. The trend to celebrate the end of primary school in such an ostentatious(铺张的)way is new to us. After all, it’s only in the past five years that the high school prom, imported from the US and intended for 16-year-olds, has become popular in this country.In the past days, the end of primary school would have been marked with an autograph bookor T-shirt that friends could sign their names and messages. So what has changed? It is the children’s expectations. They see their older brothers and sisters celebrate in a certain way and want to do the same.Instead of telling them to wait until they are old enough, parents are only too easily persuaded that their children’s wishes should be honored. “More and more parents work, so I think there is a whole generation of parents who are feeling guilty about their children,”says Professor Cary Cooper, a psychologist at Lancaster University. “Because they spend too less time with their children, they tend to satisfy their demands far more than they would have done 20 years ago.”Thankfully, Mearns Primary in Newton Mearns turned down the parents’ request. But in a few years’ time, who knows the ways that things are going?24. The text is mainly about _____.A. the various ways to celebrate the end of primary schoolB. the bad trend in celebrating the end of primary schoolC. the most exciting moment at the end of primary schoolD. the gifts parents prepare for their children’s graduation25. What does the author think of this trend in the primary school?A. She thinks very lowly of it.B. She supports it very much.C. She shows no interest in it.D. She thinks it is worth a try.26. Which of the following is NOT true about the school prom?A. It was introduced from the US.B. It is mainly intended for 16-year-old students.C. It is usually held at the end of the school year.D. It became popular in the US two years ago.27. We can infer from the text that_____.A. parents work harder than before to make up for feeling guilty about their childrenB. parents tended to satisfy more of their children’s demands 20 years agoC. students often succeed in persuading their parents to satisfy their demandsD. parents tell their children to celebrate their graduation until they are old enoughCAt times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example，when Iwas 12，I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico，to always put on sunscreen，not to wander away from my grandmother，and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.But despite her worries，she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens，she continued to give me space to grow and learn，even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year，I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers：While many of them wanted to stay close to home，I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away，she was supportive and excited for me.One big thing I realized during my senior year，as my mom granted me more freedom，was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life，and especially when I was little，the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards: getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to h ave all A’s.I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important，like education，and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life .Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.28.

2021年济南中学高中部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.BAt any moment, about half the world’s population is wearing denim（牛仔布）clothes. But few realize tiny bits of denim have been adding up to a surprising amount of pollution in water, as a new study shows.Sam Athey, one of the study’s authors, says, “Even though denim is made of a natural material—cotton, it contains chemicals.” Cotton fibers were treated with many types of chemicals, she notes. Some improve its durability and feel. Others give denim its distinctive blue color1 .Athey and her team washed jeans and found that about 50,000 microfibers came off from each pair per wash. Not all of those fibers make their way into the environment. Wastewater treatment plants catch about 83 to 99 percent ofthem. Catching 99 percent may sound pretty good. But one percent of 50,000 is still 500 fibers per wash. And since every pair of jeans is washed again and again, it still adds up to lots of microfibers entering the water environment.Denim microfibers showed up in sediment（沉淀物）from the Great Lakes. More of these fibers polluted a series of shallow lakesin southern Ontario. They even turned up in sediment from the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada. The team found denim accounted for 12 to 23 percent of microfibers in the sediment. There were other microfibers too. But the team focused on denim because so many people wear jeans.“Everyone wears jeans so they could be our largest input of microfibers into our streams and soils,” Athey says. “An easy way to limit that is by washing our jeans less often.” Athey grew up thinking she should wash her jeans after wearing them every couple of times, but most jean companies recommend washing them no more than once a month. “The solution is not that you shouldn’t wear jeans,” she says. “We need to buy fewer denim clothes and only wash them when they truly need it.”4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Chemicals are contained in natural cotton.B. Chemicals can make denim color1 ful.C. Chemicals prevent fibers from falling.D. Chemicals can make the life of denim longer.5. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Denim.B. Sediment.C. Microfibers.D. Chemicals.6. What does the author mainly want to tell us through Athey’s words ?A. To avoid wearing jeans.B. To reduce denim consumption.C. To wash jeans more often.D. To limit input in denim production.7. In which section of a magazine might the text be found?A. Science.B. Entertainment.C. Tourism.D. Geography.CCompared to dogs, cats are often considered to be aloof（冷漠的）with respect to their human owners. It is usual for them to be indifferent（无动于衷的）when humans calltheir names. Are we sure that they don’t understand human voices at all?A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports suggests that we’ve been fooled. Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them. In the study, scientists recruited 78 domestic cats. They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words were random nouns thatresembledtheir names while the final word was the cat’s name. Then they observed the cats’ responses, if there were any.Most of cats moved their ears or heads when they heard their names, while they made no response to other words. That suggested, “cats were paying attention to you, what you say and what you do,” John Bradshaw, an expert on human-animal interactions（互动）at the University of Bristol, UK, told The Times. “And cats were just as good as dogs at learning,” she added.In the study, when people called their names, cats often associated (联系) the words with rewards, such as food or play, or with “punishments” such as having a bath or going to the vet . This made cats sensitive (敏感的) to words. After the cats had been called several times, they could respond to the words. But the scientists added that while dogs have evolved（进化）to follow their owners’ orders, cats have not. Although cats appear to be distant, they do have special relationships with their owners.According to study co-author Atsuko Saito, cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness, which they tend to hide because “in the wild, no one can rescue them” and predators (捕食性动物) are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.However, technology may help bridge the communication gap between cats and us. There are now mobile apps available to explain what their meows mean. So, the next time you hear “meow, meow”,your cat may be telling you: “Hi, you haven’t cleaned my litter box recently.”8. What did the recent study find about cats?A. Cats can recognize their names.B. Cats are cleverer than dogs.C. Cats learn more slowly than dogs.D. Cats are willing to follow orders.9. What does the underlined word“resembled”in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. were limited toB. were different fromC. were similar toD. were away from10. Why do cats appear distant to their human owners?A. They associate words with punishments.B. They want to protect themselves from harm.C. They are not sensitive to the human voice.D. They don’t pay much attention to their surroundings.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. It is difficult to understand cats’ meows.B. Interaction with your cats is very important.C. Cats do have good relationships with their owners.D. We may know cats better with the help of technology.DOn March 18, 34-year-old Lance Karlson was walking on the beach and looking for somewhere toswim in Geographe Bay when he saw what he thought was a stingray (黄貂鱼) leap from the water.Realizing the creature was, in fact, an octopus (章鱼), he started filming it — just in time for the angry octopus to launch itself at him. He immediately felt a sharp pain across his left arm, followed by a second strike across his neck and upper back. His goggles (护目镜) fogged and the water around him turned dark with what he thought might have been octopus ink as he struggled back toward the shore."I was confused — it was more of a shock than a fright," said Karlson, "I might have hit on its home." Within a minute, a perfect imprint of an octopus tentacle (触手) appeared on Karlson's neck and back.A former volunteer lifeguard, Karlson rushed back to his hotelroom to find something acidic to put on the wound. All his family could grab was Coca-Cola, which his wife poured over his back and the pain disappeared."The pain went away and more than anything since then, it's been more the physical hit that was painful.... The imprint on my neck is more from the physical hit, and I guess it makes complete sense when you look at the video I took," he said.Karlson said he'd never seen an octopus that close before and watched Netflix documentary "My Octopus Teacher" after the incident to learn more about the species."They are beautiful creatures and I really hope this promotes more interest in octopuses as opposed to fear of them. I think this is a fascinating creature with clearly some very strong emotions just like we do as humans," he added.12. When did the octopus attack Karlson?A. When he was swimming in the bay.B. When he was shooting the octopus.C. When he was looking for some fish.D. When he was fighting against the octopus.13. What plays an essential role in reducing Karlson's pain?A. The lifeguard's timely help.B. Karson's wife's quick action.C. The family members' efforts.D. Karlson’s knowledge of first aid.14. What does Karlson learn from his experience?A. The octopus is dangerous.B. People should get away from the octopus.C. People need know more about the octopus.D. The physical hit from the octopus is painful.15. Which of the following might be the best title?A. Pain from Strong AttackB. First Aid for Octopus' StrikeC. Face to Face with Angry OctopusD.

2021年济南市回民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AThe last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at homewith her parents. But through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server, she isn't able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents — or never leaving home in the first place — has been growing steadily.UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adultsstill living at home could be that their family doesn't want them to leave.The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代)get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children. Millennials see their parents as peers,friends and instructors. Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Services Group in theUS, said the number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great Recession. Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn't necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest. He said, “They may like living at home and being able to save money.“ There's no doubt it has held back household formation and purchases of things people spend money on related to household formation and perhaps related to child-raising," Hoffman explained. "But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don't have a house expense or marriage. I don't know if it represents a change in moral values. But it's much more common for adult children to live in their parents’ homes because it's becoming part of the culture.1. What can we learn from the UBS Financial Services' report?A. Millennials are on good terms with their parents.B. Millennials are financially independent after college.C. Parents are unwilling to give their young adults allowance.D. Parents want their kids to stay with them forever.2. What does Hoffman think of young adults' living at home?A. It increases the consumption of household products.B. It may continue despite job growth.C. It is a sign of shift in moral values.D. It is new in American culture.3. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To introduce millennials' living habits.B. To stress the importance of financial independence.C. To explain why American young adults still live at home.D. To inform people of a social trend in theUS.BHappiness is not a warm phone, according to a new study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their Phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions."The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use," Twenge said. "Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness."Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU. S.teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's the year when thepercentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent.

Teens' Lives Have Changed SharplyD. Screen-addicted Teens Are UnhappierCCycling has long been a sport where a competitive edge is pursued, often at any cost. Cycling shorts, however, were an area that technology had yet to enter. Little was added to them apart from, perhaps, some padding to protect a rider.Now, however, new cycling shorts are being equipped with sensors to help riders defeat opponents easily. A British start-up has created a pair of shorts that uses electric sensors and artificial intelligence to shape and strengthen cyclists' muscles while they are moving. It plans to also adapt this product next year for joggers andpeople at the gym.The shorts, created by Devon Lewis, a PhD student at theUniversityofSouthampton, are able to send out tiny electric currents into a user's muscles to improve their cycling technique. Mr Lewis, 27, came up with the idea after studying a connection between the brain and muscles that sends chemical signals from motor neurons to muscle fibres to make the muscle contract and strengthen.The shorts, created by Mr Lewis's start-up bypass this connection using electric cur rents to build muscle strength directly, without relying on the brain to send out signals. “We have a limited ability to control our muscles naturally,” Mr Lewis said. “You can control them more exactly, get more from your muscles and contract them more strongly, if you stimulate them directly with electricity.” Electric wires in the shorts send out currents that activate the muscle. “For those worried about getting a shock while cycling,” Mr Lewis said, “It's sort of the same thing as when you have spicy food and you get that little rush. It feels strange when you first start using it but then you adapt to it quite quickly.”His idea has received support from Future Worlds, a start-up accelerator atSouthamptonUniversity. The product is being shown next week at the technology conference CES, held digitally this year.8. What's the strength of the newly invented cycling shorts ?A. They help cyclists perform better.B.

What may be some people's worry about the shorts?A. They may spend more than they can afford.B. They get little help from the new shorts.C. They may get shocked by the electricity.D. The new shorts can't function well enough.11.What's the best title of the text?A. The Special CyclingShortsB. Waysto Be a Good RunnerC. How Shorts Benefit YouD. Some Tips about Running FastDAccording to a survey, the wasteof food on the dining table occupies 10% of the total grain output.Last week, Meituan, a giant online food ordering platform, co-published a proposal with a number of business organizations, calling on restaurants to stop food waste and help develop new eating habits for customers. Following the proposal, merchants are asked to offer guidance for consumers, including reminding them during the ordering process about the taste of the ingredients, portion sizes and other information about the dishes, to helpthem avoid excessive ordering and food waste.Catering（餐饮)associations in more than 18 provinces have also joined the campaign to remove food waste. The Wuhan Catering Association proposed an “NT" ordering code for restaurants in which a group of 10 diners would only order enough for nine people. More food is only brought to the table if required. On Friday, the China Cuisine Association announced that it had teamed up with Ele. me, the Alibaba Group Holding-owned food delivery platform, to launch a "half-dish plan," encouraging restaurants to provide customers with the option to order smaller portions.Tang Zhisong, a professor at Southwest University Education School, said "Evaluating how much you can eat, how much you should buy and how to deal with the leftover is a way for young people to improve their self-management. It's also a means to teach them sharing food, caring about others, and more importantly, developing a mindset of suitability. "12. What's the purpose of the proposal mentioned in the passage?A.

They knew that many apples being served to kids as part of the National School Lunch Program were ending up in the trash, almost untouched. But unlike others, they wondered if the reason was more complicated than simply that the kids didn’t want the fruit.They thought the fact that the apples were being whole, rather than sliced (切片的), was doing the fruit no favor. And they wanted to prove this idea.They carried out a study at eight schools and found that fruit consumption (消费) jumped by more than 60 percent when apples were served sliced. They then made a follow-up study at six other schools, which not only showed the same result, but further supported. The whole apple consumption at schools that served sliced apples reduced by about 50 percent than before.Based on these results, it seems that even the simplest forms of inconvenience can influence us. Sliced apples just make more sense for kids. The hardest part is getting kids to start eating fruit, and that’s exactly why sliced apples are the way to go. A child holding a whole apple has to break the skin, eat around the core (果核), and deal with the inconvenience of holding a large fruit. These problems might seem silly or unimportant, but they’re important when you’re missing teeth or have braces (牙箍), as so many kids do.Sometimes what seems like a really small inconvenience actually makes a huge difference.4. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Lots of apples served to kids were wasted.B. Researcher supported the lunch program.C. Apples are not the only acceptable fruit for kids.D. The lunch program was well worth spreading.5. What did researchers want to prove?A. Kid didn’t want the fruits.B. Kids favored the whole apples.C. Kids preferred to the sliced apples.D. Kid’s eating habits influenced fruit consumption.6. According to the study, we can know________.A. 14 schools served sliced fruitsB. kids have problems eating the whole applesC. eating fruits must be healthy for childrenD. few kids are missing teeth or have braces7. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Form matters more than taste.B. Apples are beneficial to each kid.C. The way fruit is eaten links kids’ growth.D. Inconvenience probably makes a difference.CJapan is known to have higher than average rates of stomach cancer. Recently, the town of Kaneyama in Yamagata Prefecture decided to get its 6, 000 residents (居民) tested.However, the frozen urine samples (尿样) are not tested in conventional ways. Instead, Professor Masao Miyashita and his team are using them in a trial to determine if specially trained cancer-sniffing dogs can accurately detect the disease. Though the study is still in its early stages, Miyashita is thrilled with the results. He said, “In our research so far, cancer detection dogs have been able to find signs of cancer with an accuracy of nearly 100 percent.”Researchers have known about the animals’ superior sensory skills for decades. However, their ability to detect cancer in humans came to light in 1989, after a dog sniffed out early-stage malignant melanoma (恶性黑色素瘤) on a patient’s leg in London. Since then, scientists from many countries have conducted studies to test dogs’ great skill at identifying cancer chemicals.While most dogs can be trained for the task researchers say the best candidates are dogs that are precise, quiet, and perhaps even a little shy. The training process is similar to how dogs are taught to learn any trick — by rewarding them with treats! However, it takes much longer because the dogs have to learn to separate the “cancer scent (气味)”from the thousands of organic compounds (有机化合物) in the human body. Researchers begin by exposing the dogs to urine samples from people with cancer, people with other diseases, and patients with nohealth issues, Once the dogs are able to accurately identify cancer, they are further trained to detect particular kinds of cancer.Successful as they may be, experts think dogs are unlikely to replace conventional tests. For one, it takes about seven years and costs as much as $45,000 to train a single dog. Klaus Hackner, a researcher and physician who studies dogs detecting cancer in breath samples at Krems University Hospital in Austria, is also not convinced dogs can be relied upon alone. Patients, therefore, have to receive further tests to confirm if they have the disease.8. What do we know about the cancer-sniffing dogs mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They have done a great job.B. They are trained in a special way.C. They can easily learn to distinguish cancer.D. They can be seen in many Japanese hospitals.9. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?A. Offer readers some advice.B. Add some background information.C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.10. What kind of dog is suitable for the cancer-sniffing job?A. Smart and brave.B. Active and faithful.C. Strong and patient.D. Careful and peaceful.11. What is Klaus Hackner’s opinion on cancer-sniffing dogs?A. They should work as a team.B. They need to receive more training.C. They can replace doctors in detecting cancer.D. They should be used together with traditional tests.DAccording to the study posted onScienceDirect, gardening just two to three times a week increase the benefits of better well-being as much as possible and lower stress levels.The research explored why residents engaged with gardening and the extent to which they recognized any health benefits from the activity.A questionnaire was handed out electronically within theUK, with 5,766 gardeners and 249 non-gardeners responding. Data was collected on factors including garden typology（类型学）, frequency of gardening and individual awareness of health and well-being."This is the first time the dose response（剂量效应）to gardening has been tested and the evidence from the survey strongly suggests that the more frequently you garden, the greaterthe health benefits," said Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) lead author Dr Lauriane Chalmin-Pui. In fact, gardening every day has the same positive impact on well-being than undertaking regular and powerful exercise like cycling or running.When gardening, our brains are pleasantly entertained by nature around us. Gardening takes our attention away from ourselves and our stresses, therefore, it helps restore our minds and reduce unfavorable feelings.Improving health, however, was not the main motive power to garden, but rather the direct pleasure gardening brought to the participants."Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn't feel as exhausting and hard as going to the gym, for example, but we canexpendsimilar amounts of energy," Chalmin-Pui added.Most people say they garden for pleasure and enjoyment, so people who like gardening may be easy to be addicted to it. However, this sometimes may become a piece of good news, from the aspect of mental health. "We hope all the millions of new gardeners will be getting their daily gardening and feeling all the better for it. " Chalmin-Pui said in the interview.12. What can be inferred about gardening from the survey?A. Improving health is the aim of the participants.BGardening makes no difference to health.C. Health benefits from frequent gardening.D. Too much gardening always does harm to health.13. What does the underlined word "expend" mean in paragraph 7?A. Consume.B. Make use of.C. Increase.D. Save.14. Why do so many participantslike gardening?A. It isn't exhausting.B. It is good for health.C. It brings pleasure.D. It is like going to the gym.15. What is Chalmin-Pui's attitude to the new gardeners' gardening?A. Carefree.B. SupportiveC. Tolerant.D. Indifferent.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。
