2019-2020学年宁夏银川一中高三英语下学期期末考试试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AIf your Spanish is good enough, many Spanish gossip magazines being published around the world will provide entertainment and, at the same time, help you practice your language.Diez Minutos: The magazine is a classic Spanish gossip feast with dailynews based on many stories of love, separation, divorce and death. The two main parts are headlined "love" and "partners". They also have an online version of the magazine for serious gossip addicts.Hola: It isSpain's top weekly magazine and the leader of the gossip world. It contains many pictures and a round-up of well-known and less well-known nobles and people in show business. Apart from edited highlights from the present and past issues, there is a report of the week and photo of the week. There is also a French version called OhLa!Revista CUORE: As the third best-selling gossip magazine inSpain, it is mainly aimed at younger teenage readers who look not only for current celebrity gossip, but also for fashion and TV news. It uses a lot of oral terms.Revista SEMANA: It is a Spanish magazine covering the latest news on the famous inSpainandHollywood.

It is also exported to certain parts of theUnited States, bringing together strange and wonderful news from around the world and the famous Latin community.1.Which magazine is also published in French?A.MarujeoB.Revista SEMANA.C.Revista CARAS.D.Hola.2.How many of the magazines mentioned in the text can be read on the Internet?A.Four.B.Three.C.Two.D.One.3.What can be learned from the passage?A.Diez Minutos presents its readers weekly picturesB.Revista CUORE can help improve one's spoken Spanish.C.Revista SEMANA is intended for readers in teensD.Revista CARAS mainly reports news fromLatin America.BJapan's prime minister encouraged the decision to ban viewers, even family members, by issuing a state of emergency order in Tokyo earlier this month in response to rising COVID-19 case numbers.From the perspective of sports psychologists, an Olympics without fans is a real-life science experiment that is helping researchers and clinicians to comb through the true impact of a crowd of fans on its players—and on viewers at home. The strange circumstances under which the games are held may place unexpected pressure on some athletes. On Tuesday, superstar gymnast Simone Biles dropped out of the women's team event, telling teammates and reporters she wasn't in the right “headspace” to compete. “It's been really stressful this Olympic Games. There are a lot of different variables going into it,” Biles told the Washington Post.The 2020 Summer Olympics bears similarities and differences to other major sporting events without viewers. The English Premier League supplemented (增加) game broadcasts with crowd noise from the soccer video game FIFA 20, mixed with game audio in real time. A Taiwanese baseball team and German soccer team began populating stands with cardboard cutouts of fans, and the trend caught on internationally.Jamey Houle, the lead sports psychologist for Ohio State University Athletics and a former Al-American gymnast, says competitive athletes are trained in visualization— imagining performing a certain action or motion, such as doing a roundoff back handspring in gymnastics. Without moving a muscle, players using visualization can solidify neural (神经的) connections and activate their motor cortex (皮层). To visualize most effectively, Houle says, athletes working with sports psychologists will try to simulate as closely as possible the conditions of actual gameplay. Empty stadiums may thus have a measurable impact on players' performance. This phenomenon is grounded in a psychological concept called “social facilitation”, referring to a change in a person's performance that occurs when others are around compared to when a person is alone.4. What caused Biles to drop out of the women's team event?A. The poor physical condition.B. The absence of the audience.C. The fiercely competitive event.D. The influence of crowds of fans.5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. The Taiwanese baseball team is a success.B. The tendency mentioned is popular among some sporting events.C. The 2020 Summer Olympics is stricter in preventing the pandemic.D. The crowd noise plays a leading role in the English Premier League.6. How does Houle explain the impact of empty stadiums on players' performance?A. By doing a roundoff back handspring.B. By simulating the conditions of actual gameplay.C. By using the concept called social facilitation.D. By changing the viewers of a player.7. What message does the author mainly convey in the text?A. Athletes should be trained in visualization.B. Audience should be admitted to the Olympics.C. Social facilitation is helpful to sporting events.D. Viewers present may influence players' performance.CA lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win．Consider the case of a young friend of mine，who hita traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum about beinglate on the job．Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer．His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech．Yes，the boss was．Sam entered the office at 9：35．The place was as quiet as a locker room；everyone was hard at work．Sam’s supervisor came up to him．Suddenly，Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand．“How do you do！” he said．“I’m Sam Maynard．I’m applying for a job，which，I understand，became available just 35 minutes ago．Does the early bird get the worm？”The room exploded in laughter．The supervisor“clamped off”a smile and walked back to his office．Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win，a laugh．Humor is a most effective，yet frequently neglected，means of handling the difficult situations in our lives．It can be used for patching up differences，apologizing，saying “no”，criticizing，getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losingface．For some jobs，it’s the only tool that can succeed．It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel．For example，many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerancethan people in any other forum．8. Why was Sam late for his job？A. Because he was ill．B. Because he got up late．C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam．D. He was busy applying for a new job．9. The main idea of this passage is ________．A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humorB. humor is important in our livesC. early bird gets the wormD. humor can solve racial discriminations10. The phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 means ________．A tried to hold back B. tried to setC. chargedD. gave out11. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage？A. Many lose life’s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor．B. It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work．C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8：30．D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems．DIn the U. S., speaking more than one language fluently is not very common except in Los Angeles, California.The city has one of the largest population in the U. S. of young people between the ages of 18 and 34. This generation is often called millennials (新千年一代). More than half of millennials in Los Angeles are bilingual (双语的), which means they speak more than one language.Maria Elena Burgos is cooking a Mexican breakfast. She says making Mexican food is just one of the many traditions in her home. Another is speaking Spanish to her children.“We want them to be bilingual. We want to keep the Spanish somewhere in their learning too, not only at home.”When Ms Burgos first came to the United States from Mexico, she learned English. She knew her children would learn English quickly. So she wanted them to speak Spanish at home and study the language at school.She says being bilingual will give them more opportunities in the future. Knowing Spanish also means the children can talk with their s in Mexico.“When we had our children, one of the decisions we as parents made was to name them with a name that was easily pronounced in English and Spanish.”Elizabeth wants to know her family’s culture.” “The culture-to go back to our roots because that’s part of who we are.”Monica wants to pass on the culture to her children“It’s nice to know our culture and then to be able to pass it onto our children and grand-children and everyone to let them know where we come from.”And, Monica says she does not speak only English and Spanish. She has even learned some Korean in school.12. Which of the following is a tradition of Maria?A. Cooking breakfast for her s.B. Talking with her children in Spanish.C. Talking with her s in Spanish.D. Forcing her children to speak Spanish.13. What can be inferred from Monica’s words?A. She doesn’t care where she comes from.B.

To inform the readers of a shocking experiment result.C. To encourage more persons to learn a second language.D. To tell a truth that many people in Los Angeles are bilingual.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。

AWe all love chocolate, and most of us probably eat it everyday, or at least several times a week. It is one of the most favourite kinds of food in the world, and many would say that they cannot live without it. However, there are many facts about the world of chocolate that most people do not know.Have you ever wondered where your chocolate comes from? Most of it comes from the labor of children. It is said that in Africa alone, there are about 70 million children working on chocolate farms. They lead a very hard life, and many live only on bananas and corn paste(糨糊). One child who was interviewed said that he was tricked into believing he would be earning money to help his family. But the truth is that he is treated like an animal. The child has never even had the chance to taste the chocolate he spends his life producing.The history of chocolate pretty much begins with the Mayans(玛雅人). Cacao (可可)beans were so valuable to Mayans that they were used as money. It is said that ten beans could buy a rabbit, and one hundred beans were enough to buy a slave (奴隶). People would buy everything from food to tools with the beans. Generally，only the richer people drank chocolate regularly, because drinking your money is expensive.1. What do the African children who work on chocolate farms eat every day?A. Bananas and chocolate.B. Cacao beans and corn paste.C. Bananas and corn paste.D. Chocolate and cacao beans.2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the second paragraph?A. Most of the chocolate comes from the labor of slaves.B. In Africa, children working on chocolate farms lead a comfortable life.C. The child who was interviewed has ever tasted the chocolate he produced.D. The child who was interviewed was treated badly.3. What did Mayans use to buy something that they needed?A. Chocolate.B. Cacao beans.C. Animals.D. Coins.4. What is this text mainly about?A. Chocolate plays an important role in people’s lives.B. African children are producing chocolate in bad conditions.C. Two unknown facts about chocolate.D. Why only the rich can drink chocolate regularly.BI had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch while I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids’. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace (丢脸) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9: 00 each night and up at 7: 45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I'm now trying to bring up my three children. I'm filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.5. Which of the following did the author hate to do most?A. Eating differently from other kids.B. Wearing clean clothes made by mother.C. Letting mother know where she was.D. Going to bed early and getting up early.6. It can be inferred from the text that________.A. mother was punished for breaking Child Labor Law.B. all the other kids studied better than the author.C. the author worked hard and usually got good grades in studies.D. the author's family lived a bitter life.7. The text was written in a(n) _______ way.A. hatefulB. humorousC. UnfriendlyD. AngryCMy daughter graduated from college this year. I couldn’t be more proud of her. Through countless hours of study, books read, papers written, and tests taken, her hard work has paid off. She is no longer a little girl. She has become a wise, giving, caring, and loving adult. She has learned so much and is ready to start the rest of her life.I think the things I take most pride in her learning, though, aren't the ones she learned in the classroom. They are the ones she learned through living her life. My daughter already knows things that it took me much longer to learn. She knows that money can't buy happiness. She knows that laughter exercises the lunges and love opens up the heart. She knows that doing what you love and loving what you do turns work into play. She knows that children are life's most precious (珍贵的) gift and that every child should be treated with kindness and love.My daughter knows that life often isn't fair, that society often isn't wise, and that every one of us will face our share of problems. She also knows, however, that with love in our hearts we can bring learning, laughter, and joy to even the toughest days. She knows that life is a journey taken on a rocky road and that sometimes we stumble. She knows that we can pick ourselves up each time and even help someone else up as well. Most of all she knows that she is still learning, just as we all are. May she always know too just how much I love her.8. How did the author feel when her daughter graduated from college?A. GratefulB. CalmC. SatisfiedD. Concerned.9. We can infer from the underlined words in Paragraph 2 that______.A. you should love work as well as playB. it's important for one to turn work into playC. your work will become interesting if you love itD. what you love and what you do are totally different10. The author wanted her daughter to know that_______.A. her mother is well-educatedB. she is cleverer than her motherC. her mother loves her very muchD. She has to keep learning all her life11. What does the underlined word "stumble" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Climb.B. Control.C. ShockD. Fall.DWhen it comes to learning a foreign language, many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary. But this question never happens about their mother tongue, and yet, it was a foreign language once. However, among all the questions that new parents ask, no doctor has ever heard "Will my baby be able to learn my language?" To be honest, do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is “No.”New words, and new ways of using old words, appear every day. Twenty years ago, who would have been able to understand a sentence like this: "Click here to download your digital book"? Nobody.You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it.Sometimes, you have the word on the tip of your tongue... and it sticks there! But you do know this phenomenon(现象) and don't think that it is because of a bad memory. You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue.You need to learn only 2, 000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need. You can't avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly. And before you consider buying into any method, be sure it is right for you. It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics(记忆术). The first few words seem very easy to learn, so you buy the course, but then you discover quickly, though too late, that a dozen words later, it is all the more difficult to learn a new word when you have also to learn the trick to memorize it.12. From the first paragraph, we can infer that _______.A. it is honest to answer “no” to a question you don't knowB. a baby can know all the new words of its mother tongueC. there is no need to know all the words of a foreign languageD. people find it hard to memorize vocabulary of their language13. To learn a foreign language, the author advises you ______.A. to remember new words appearing every dayB. to keep up with new ways of using old wordsC. to pay more attention to your bad memoryD. to learn at least 2, 000 necessary words14. The author's attitude to mnemonics is _____.A. supportiveB. opponentC. neutralD. indifferent15. The passage is mainly about _____.A. learning vocabulary of a foreign languageB. using old words in a new wayC. learning new words from the contextD. finding a method to memorize vocabulary第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）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。

ABeautiful Sea Caves in the worldMother Nature sure knows how to show off with these beautiful sea caves around the world.Blue Brotto --- Capri, ItalyThe Blue Brotto in Capri, Italy is perhaps one of the most well-known sea caves in the world. In 1826, it was rediscovered by three men, and has been open to the public ever since. The best time to visit the Blue Grotto is between 12 and 2 p.m., because the blue color from the sunlight entering through the underwater opening is the strongest then.Benagil Cave ---PortugalLocated in the small fishing village of Benagil on the south coast of Portugal, this beautiful cave is another well-known sight. Boat tours fill up fast here, so it’s important to book in advance. If you’re a strong swimmer, and it’s low tide, you can even swim into the cave. There, you can take a break and relax on the sand and watch the sun illuminate (照亮) the water around you.Marble Caves --- Chico, ChileLocated in the Patagonian Andes on a peninsula in the center of Lake General Carrera, the Marble Caves in Chico, Chile can only be reached by boat. The surrounding clear waters allow visitors to see the rock formations (构造) beneath them while the rock ceilings above change color, which depends on the water levels and the season. The best time to visit: during sunrise and sunset and when the sun illuminates the cave walls. It can be a special experience to remember.Ana Kakenga --- Easter Island, ChileAna Kakenga is the most-visited cave on Easter Island. To visit the cave, you must enter through a small hole in the ground, which measures slightly less thantwo feet wide. As you could imagine, the entrance is very difficult to find withouta tour guide. After you enter the 164-foot-long volcanic tube, you’ ll find twonaturally formed windows looking over the water.21.When is the best time for tourists to visit the Blue Grotto?A.At sunrise.B. In the afternoon.C. At sunset.D. At night.22. What do you need to do before you go to the Benagil Cave?A. Bring a pair of sunglasses.B. Bring your fishing tools.C. Book ahead of schedule.D. Learn how to swim.23. Which cave needs a tour guide to guide you?A. The Blue GrottoB. Benagil CaveC. The Marble CavesD. Ana KakengaB.Years ago, I volunteered to start a knitting club at Hammerson House, a care home for the elderly in North London. I met Dr. Edith Kaufmann there, the second oldest person in the UK. I didn’t realize it would be the start of a close friendship, where the age gap spanned (跨越) eight decades. To my surprise, from the beginning, I never felt that we didn’t have enough in common. Moreover, I was amazed that Edith could have a full conversation with me about anything, and that her memory extended so easily, recalling even small parts of conversation which took place 100 years ago.We began building our friendship piece by piece, week by week. Once I got her photo albums and looked them through, she would recall the story behind each of the thousands of photos that formed her life. Edith successfully captured (捕捉) the amazing trips that she took across several continents with her husband, Paul. Both photographers, they would go everywhere at a time when international travel was harder than it is now. From the US to the Middle East, with a lot of time spent on “the continent”.Over the years of visiting Edith, something interesting started to happen---I realized that I was going as much for me as I was for her. When things have been a bit frustrating in my life; when I have failed at things; when friendships and relationships have been confusing; when small decisions have weighed on my mind, I have appreciated nothing more than the opportunity to get back my view on life and what actually matters.Death at 111 is not unexpected, but I still feel that something is missing from my life. I feel very fortunate to have formed such a special relationship with such a wonderful lady, who was a true friend in every sense.24．T he author met Dr. Edith Kaufmann when she _____________.A. was a volunteer at a knitting organization.B. set up a club in a nursing home.C. left Hammerson House.D. studied in North London.25．According to the text,__________was difficult in the past.A. living to be one hundredB. remembering every eventC. travelling all over the worldD. taking photographs26．How did the author benefit from her friendship with Dr. Edith Kaufmann?A. She began to keep a diary every day.B. She became interested in travelling.C. She learned how to deal with difficulties.D. She knew what was important in life.27．Which would be the best title for the text?A. An Unforgettable experienceB. Being Friends with an Old Woman.C. How to Get Along with the old.D. The Story of My Best Friends.CHuman demands for natural resources have doubled in less than 50 years and are now beyond what the earth can provide, a report warned. If humans carry on like this, we will need two earths by 2030. The population of wildlife has fallen by 60% in thirty years.The report said British people are consuming(消耗) far more than the earth can deal with. If everyone lived such a lifestyle, humans would need 2.75 planets to survive. People are now living lifestyles which would require 1.5 planets, though there are great differences between rich and poor nations.Researchers studied the global change in land use and water consumption. The UK comes 31st in a list of countries based one “ecological footprint(生态足迹)”that measures how much land and sea each person needs to produce the resources they consume and to absorb (吸收) the wastes. The UK has fallen down from 15th place in the last report two years ago to 3lst place, but the WWF believes it is an increase in other countries’efforts rather than a reduction in the UK’s use of resources.Ireland has the 10th highest ecological footprint, while the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Denmark, Belgium and the US are the five worst countries for over-consumption of resources. The study suggests if the expected global population of 9.2 billion in 2050 were to eat a Malaysian diet, 1.3 planets would be needed but if everyone were to eat an Italian diet, humans would need almost two planets. Those countries that can provide the highest quality of life using the lowest amount of resources will not only serve the global interest, but will be the leaders in a resource-limited world.28．We will probably need __________earths if we follow the British lifestyle.A. 1.3B. 2.75C. 2D. 1.529．What do we know about “ecological footprint”?A. It has something to do with human demands for resources and their wastes.B. It is used to produce the resources and absorb the wastes.C. We can know the total amount of resources on the earth through it.D. It is about changes in land use and water consumption across the globe. 30．The WWF believes that_________.A. the earth won’t be able to meet human needs after 50 years.B. the UK has possibly not reduced the use of resources over the past two years.C. Ireland has a lower ecological footprint than the UK.D. there are no big differences in lifestyle between rich and poor nations. 31．It can be learned from the text that Malaysia_________A. has a larger population than Italy.B. consumes fewer resources than Italy.C. would need almost two planets.D. has the highest quality of life.DAstronauts traveling in space meet forms of radiation(辐射) that are uncommon on Earth. Some of the radiation has been shown to be harmful to human health, whichis linked to cancers and heart problems. Yet a new American study had a different finding.Researchers studied nearly 60 years of health records and other data (数据)about astronauts from the United States. They then compared the data to the information about a group of athletes, who receive good health care and are in good health.The result shows that neither group has higher rates of dying at a young age. In fact, both groups generally live longer than the other Americans.Astronauts are usually well-educated, earn more money and are in better physical condition. Some earlier research linked these to astronauts’ lower risk of early death.However, they might ignore the physical requirements of this job. In fact, there has not been much research on whether astronauts show what is known as the “healthy worker effect”.This effect leads people with the work of space travelling to have fewer medical problems than those who are not working in this field, said Robert Reynolds, a member of the study team.Reynolds said, “The problem has always been to understand if astronauts are as healthy as they would be if they had never gone to space. This means we have to find a group that is comparable on several important factors(因素).”Considering the similar physical requirements, a group of athletes are selected.As the result suggests, being exposed (暴露) to radiation doesn't lead to an early death for astronauts.“Diet and physical exercise also set astronauts and athletes apart from the rest of the po pulation,” said Reynolds. “A job requiring physical fitness can add to the healthy worker effect. Even for the other people, remaining or becoming physically active and keeping a well-balanced diet greatly improve overall health and well-being, thus making successfully becoming older possible.”32．What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?A. Some forms of radiation are common on Earth.B. Some radiation is not harmful to human health.C. Astronauts may have other health problems.D. As tronauts’health won’t be affected by radiation.33．W hy do astronauts have a lower risk of early death according to the study?A. They are well protected from radiation.B. They have better knowledge about health.C. They are richer to afford better medical care.D. They need to stay healthy because of their job.34．Why are athletes chosen as a comparative group in the study?A. They work in different fields.B. They both need to be healthy enough.C. They receive the same diets and exercise.D. They suffer from the same health problems.35．What’s the main idea of the text?A. Astronauts are as healthy as athletes.B. One’s health is determined by his job type.C. Radiation actually doesn’t shorten astronauts’ lives.D. Exercise and balanced diets are secrets to a longer life.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）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。
