2014届各区二模英语试卷阅读理解（C篇14套）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words:（1）We are now living in the modern city. Most of the energy which we are using for heating lighting, transportation and manufacturing (工业生产) is from fossil fuels (化石燃料). These are carbon-based (碳基燃料) fuels from oils, coal and natural gas. When we burn these fuels we release (释放) heat which p___1____ the energy.There are three major disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the g___2____ effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have n___3____ left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about 14% efficient.Scientists are working on an alternative (替代的) fuel—hydrogen (氢). There are a number of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two thirds of the e___4____surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen (氧). There is an almost unlimited (无限的) supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels.Unfortunately there are problems with hydrogen at the present time: there is the problem of separating it from water c___5____, if it is too expensive, we can not afford to use it; and there is the difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from sage. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely（非常）low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be completely new technologies before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. S___6____ these problems is an urgent matter. Although China, India and Australia have huge quantities（大量）of cheap coal, and there are still l___7____ oil and gas reserves（储备）elsewhere, the e ffects on the planet’s climate will be catastrophic（灾难性的）if they are used.1. p______________2. g________________3. n_____________4. e_____________5. c____________6.

Sometimes makeup artists have only fifteen minutes to p____3____ twenty actors for a crowd scene. Their work must always be careful and good, so you don’t notice it when you watch the movie.Special effects coordinator (协调人): Making impossible things look realAfter a movie, people often ask, ―How did they do that?‖In films, people can fly, dinosaurs walk through cities, and spaceships travel to other p____4_____ in outer space. These are all the work of the special effects coordinator. Some special effects, especially in science fiction movies, are made with computers. O___5____ are made by machines, which can make a rainy day or a snowy night at any time of the year. Fires and explosions in movies are all created with special effects.Foley artist: Creating the sounds of the cinemaThink of your favourite scary movie and its sounds – footsteps, loud rain, and creaking doors.

A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her three-year-old daughter.

I felt like saying:―Oh no, what should we do?‖ But thinking of that little girl, I found myself saying: ―Wow, that’s interesti ng!

But a lot of my friends did very l 1 work. Some just did enough to pass the exam. Others didn’t do quite enough. Fred Braines was such a student. He spent more time drinking in the T 2 House than working in the library.Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in Chinese. The test had 100 questions. Beside each question we had to write ―True‖ or ―False‖. While I was studying in my room, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked very e 3__ . Then he told me of his idea.―It’s very simple. There are 100 questions and I have to get 50 right to pass the test. I will take a coin into the examination room. I haven’t studied a Chinese book for months, so I will toss the coin. In this way, I’m sure I’ll get h 4 of the questions right.‖The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour, he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour b 5 the rest of us.The next day, Fred met his Chinese teacher at the school gate. ―Oh, good,‖ he said. ―I am sure you have got the r 6 of the test. Did I pass the test?‖The teacher looked at him and smiled, ―Ah, it’s you, Braines. Just a minute.‖ Then the teacher reached his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught in his hand and looked at it. ― I am sorry, Braines, you f 7 !‖1. l______________2.

When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near b 1 him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling ashamed at having acted so foolishly. There was n 2 to fear in a town as quiet as this.Just then, he heard short, quick steps. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels. He turned round and there stood a man dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very l 3 of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the weather, trying to sound friendly and c 4 .

ActiveThe sports utility vehicle (SUV多用途车辆) was invented in the early 1990s. It quickly became very popular in the United States. There are several r 1 for this. It is larger than most of cars. It can carry lots of people, bicycles, toys, dogs and other things. This makes it popular with families. It also has four doors and a big back door, so getting in or out is e 2 . Since an SUV is taller than most cars, the driver can see above other cars and have a better sight of the road. With a lot more p 3 , an SUV can go faster than most cars. It can also go on very rough roads where other cars cannot go.The SUV is popular with many people, but other people do not like these cars. First, they are larger than most other cars. This means that drivers of other cars may not be able to see the road w 4 . Also, SUVs are very heavy. If an SUV gets into an accident with a small car, the small car may be in s 5 trouble. Another problem with SUVs is that they are very expensive. They are expensive to buy --- about 50 percent more expensive than an average small car. They are also expensive to use, since they use a lot more gasoline (汽油) than smaller cars.There are two ways to solve these problems. One way is to change the way we think about them. Now they are sold as large cars. In the future, maybe they should be sold as trucks. Then people with just a car license could not d 6 them. They would have to get a truck license. These licenses are more expensive and difficult to get, so p 7 fewer people would buy SUVs. The other way to solve SUV problems is to make them differently. Some people think that car companies should make big SUVs smaller and less dangerous. They should also make SUVs with less powerful engines. Then they would not use so much gasoline.1. r_____________2. e_______________3. p______________4. w____________5. s_______________6. d_____________7. p______________Key:1. reasons2. easier/easy3. power4. well5. serious6. drive7. probably/perhapsLibraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and to learn. For more than 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ e 1 . But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.Benjamin Franklin famously founded America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its b 2 development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated (捐赠) millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.Carnegie believed in the chances that libraries could o 3 Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have access（接触的机会）to books, lectures, news and more.Chances are that there is a public library in or near your c 4 . You can easily find one close to your home. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven out of ten libraries have free Internet. This opens many doors for people who cannot go online at home,i 5 the opportunity to apply for jobs online.Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images from the story h 6 . Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.Benjamin Franklin once said, ―The doors of wisdom are never s7 .‖ As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!1. e_____________2. b_______________3. o______________4. c____________5. i_______________6. h_____________7. s______________Key:1. education2.biggest3.offer4. community5. including6.happily7. shutI didn’t think I had a passion (激情).

I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, s 1 on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I had seen many like him b 2 .But in some ways he was d 3 . This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing h 4 to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious (珍贵)thing he had.― Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought he’s homeless?‖ I asked.―He bought it,‖ she replied.―But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He w 5 it on something he doesn’t need.‖―Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important things. We need happiness, too.‖That man must c 6 enough music to buy a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the k 7 to life.Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to.

The topic for it was "Should digital textbooks be used to replace traditional paper textbooks in Senior High School?" The representatives have offered their opinions, and one that almost all agreed with was that digital books were cheaper than traditional ones. They agreed that digital textbooks would change the nature of classes and that teachers would become students' partners rather than instructors in the learning process. However, it has especially been pointed out that students would become even more electronic-device-dependent as digital books would accompany them all the time.读写任务：（One possible version）Typhoon Usagi struck Guangdong China just after the Mid-autumn Festival and caused 25 deaths. It damaged houses, stopped traffic and transports and cut off electricity supply. It also kept fishermen onshore and students off school.As is described in the passage, typhoon is also a common natural disaster in my hometown. When it is here, there are often strong winds and heavy rains. Young trees break and water floods into low-lying houses.When Usagi hit my hometown that evening, I was on my way home. A very strong wind slapped me in the front and tried to sweep me up into the sky. I had been told typhoon was coming but never thought it would cause much damage. I became scared and sheltered myself in a shop doorway. Suddenly with an ear-splitting “bang”, an air-conditioner fell down on the ground just in front of me! I was so frightened that I ran home as fast as I could.So I suggest that we should always take the warning seriously and make good preparations. Stay at home and fasten firmly everything in the house. In this way we can minimize the loss the disaster will cause beforehand.评分说明（主观题部分）语法填空评分说明：按照所给答案给分。

Now the certificate of B Level is in front of me, but I’ve realized that theand书面表达（满分30分）There is an English proverb saying that “Top students come from strict teachers”. Personally, that is what I agree with. Because success never comes easily and the stricter a teacher is, the more likely a student will be to make progress.I still remember the time when I couldn’t swim like other boys. What’s worse, I even dared not jump into the water. It was my swimming teacher, Mr. Liu, who insisted on training me every day regardless of my tears and crying. Gradually, my fear of water was gone and my confidence arose. But for him, I would never enjoy the fun that swimming brings to me.Therefore, I am convinced that a teacher’s strictness best helps his students to achieve success. (110 words)。

AIt’s such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and shelter ed from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it’s pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It’s a library built w ith love.A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and made a door of glass.After adding the library’s final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids’ favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”【文章大意】文章主要讲述了Janey Henriksen一家建立微型图书馆的故事。

A．A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favorite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it’s beautiful!”At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you’re coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Ger i’s handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other’s cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would beembarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is wors e, Geri hadn’t even given them a gift!【文章大意】本文叙述了来自加利福尼亚的Geri坐飞机来到了日本，由于不熟悉日本的礼仪，引起了日本人的误会。

2014届高三英语二轮精品卷：语法填空和完形填空（6）及答案II. Grammar and vocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)I hated dinner parties. But I decided (25)__________ (give) them another try because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because(26)__________ dinner parties in London are very different from those in New York.I n New York, “I’m having a dinner party” means“I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you (27)__________ hardly afford and we’ll be sharing the check evenly,(28)__________ you eat.” Worse, in Manhattan, there is always someone who(29)__________ (leave) before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t dri nk, end up (30)__________ (pay) even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: “W here are you going?” And it’s not like that I can’t say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.But in London, dinner parties are in people’s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria;it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is like a gathering at Bloomingd ale’s, a well-known department store. Personally, I think dinner parties in London are (31)__________ (impressive) than this.For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn (District) and Queens (District) in New York. But at Maller y’s, when I said that I (32) __________ (be) to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.(B)Several factors led to my recent car accident. First of all, a heavy snow and freezing rain that had fallen the day before made the road I was driving on dangerous. The road had been cleared, (33)__________ it was still dangerously icy. Despite the slippery road, I was stupidly going along (34)__________ about 50 miles an hour, instead of driving more cautiously. Another factor was a dirty green van that suddenly pulled onto the road from a small crossroad of the street about fifty yards ahead of me. The road (35)__________ (cover) with a sheet of ice at that point and if I applied my brakes, I would steer into the van. So I carefully drove my car into the next lane, and though the rear (后部) of my car began skidding back and forth, for a moment I got the idea (36)__________ everything was OK as I drove past the slow-moving van.Unfortunately, the rear of my Volkswagen was heavy (37)__________ the engine was there and also because there was a new weight-lifting set (38)__________ (lay) in the back seat, the result of (39)__________ was that after I passed the van, my car turned completely around on the slippery road. I was desperately sliding down the highway backwards at 50 milesan hour. Then I slid off the road, (40)__________ (hit) a wooden fence post. My left rear taillight was broken in the process. Then I suddenly saw a telephone pole about only 6 feet to the right of me, and I realized my accident could have really been a disaster.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Ducks offer certain advantages over hens. Ducks are immune to some 41 diseases found in hens. Some breeds of duck produce bigger eggs than hens. In 42 , ducks lay eggs over a longer season than hens do.Poultry（禽类）keepers with gardens have less to worry about if they keep ducks rather than hens because the former are unlikely to dig up plants and destroy roots. While both hens and ducks 43 the garden by eating pests, hens are known to damage grass beds. Ducks, on the other hand, will search for insects more 44 . Only very delicate plants are at risk from the broad, webbed feet of ducks.Like all waterbirds, ducks need 45 to water, and duck keepers typically provide this by building a pond. Something this large is not absolutely necessary, however, ducks need only to be able to 46 their heads in the water to keep their nose clean. If a pond is provided, though, it is important to keep baby ducks away from it until they are old enough to put up with the cool temperature of the water.When 47 ducks, one has to consider just how many the land will support. The rule is generally about 100 ducks per acre. Ifmore than this proportion is introduced, there is a risk of pressing the soil, which can lead to 48 conditions for long periods as the rain is not easily absorbed into the ground.While ducks offer many advantages over hens, they must be given a greater quantity of food, especially if regular eggs are 49 . An adult duck will eat between 170 to 200 grams of food a day. If the ducks live near grass and a pond, they will be able to find for themselves approximately 70% of their daily dietary requirements in warmer months but less than half that in colder times. Therefore, it is important that they be 50 onenough food, such as grain, every day.III. Reading ComprehensionSection 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.Scientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity after discovering a link between poorly-heated homes and higher body fat.Researchers from the University of Stirling’s Behavioral Science Centre 51 to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have 52 increasing obesity levels in winter. Instead, the team found that people who live in 53 homes are more likely to have low body mass index (BMI) levels while those who keep their heating 54 or off tend to be heavier.Dr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist an d senior lecturer, said: “We come on to investiga te the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us to 55 a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to consume more 56 through shivering and generating heat through tissues.” In fact, the research suggestspeople may eat less and57 more energy when living in a warmer indoor environment.The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, 58 more than 100,000 adults across England. Researchers found 59 weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23°C (73F), which accounted for about 15,000 of the households studied.Dr Daly said: “As national gas bills continue to rise faster than the rate of inflation(通货膨胀), this research suggests the 60 of obesity could worsen where heating dropped below 61 levels or off for lengthy periods to cut costs.“This is not just about people who live in warm enough homes being in the 62position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities. 63 , they find it easier to stay at a low BMI level. The study took age, gender, social class and other factors into account.“The comfortable surrounding temperature of 20.3-23°C is where we feel comfortable in our 64 and are neither hot nor cold. At temperatures above this, we consume more energy and we eat less because our 65 i s taken a way.”51. A. set up B. set out C. set off D. set about52.

ABike-friendly cities around the worldCycling is kind to the environment so it is an excellent way to take in the city. Here are 4 bike-friendly cities having adopted this green mode of transport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Montreal, CanadaMontreal has already established protected bike paths since the 1980s. BIXI is the city's bike-sharing system with 9,600 bikes and almost 800 stations. Cyclists can make their visit to the Tour de L'lle Montreal, a yearly bike ride where cyclists take to the streets for a day without any other vehicles being allowed on the roads.Malmo, SwedenCycling in Malmo is enjoyable due to the relaxed and easy-going manner of most cyclists The calming atmosphere makes it a great experience, even for nervous riders. A highly recommended bike route is from Ribersborg park to Limhamn Harbour, where riders can take a few good photos of t he famous Oresund Bridge.Beijing, ChinaIn the 1970s, bicycles were the main mode of tr ansportation for people in Beijing. However, dedicated（专用的）cycle paths for cyclists were limited. Only in May 20 I 9, did the city launch its first specific cycle path. This achievement in cycling facility is worth a shout-out for a city with over 21 million people.Bogota, ColombiaBogota first introduced the concept of c ycle path in 1974. The idea sees cars being banned fr o m city roads every Sunday fr o m 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., helping cyclists, runners and walkers exercise safely. Since then, the city has slowly but steadily expanded the program, including setting up dedicated cycle paths. As a result, Bogota now has 550km of bike paths and is the most bike-friendly city in Latin America.笫1页共8页21.What make(s) Montreal different from other cities?A.A well-developed bike-sharing system.B. The oldest protected bike paths.C.An annual bicycle eventD. The most calming effect on cyclists.22.Which city will attract cyclists interested in photography?D.Bogota.A.Beijing.B.Malmo.C.Montreal.23.What do Beijing and Bogota have in common?A.Improvement in cycling facilit yB.Shift in primary means of t ransportationC.Regular investment in building bicycle paths.D. Multiple specific cycle paths connecting districtsBThe input Dad has on my career is incomparable. My earliest memories are of Dad sitting in the kitchen playing the guitar, listening to his favourite song by his favourite singer, and encouraging his little girl to poke（戳）keys randomly on the piano. Even watching Top of the Pops, he would get so passionate about music in it. We weren't a religious family, but there was something spiritual about Dad's connection with music.Music also became a source of c omfort for me. I failed to do well academically at school and had no和ends.Being at school consumed so much of m y emotional energy. Instead of g oing to school to learn stuff, I felt as though I was simply trying to get people to like me. Things were better, but the only time I truly felt happy was when I was at home listening to music with Mum and Dad or writing songs on the piano—and the older I got, the more powerful music felt Dad was always my biggest supporter. When I started giving live performances at the local bar, he was the one who drove me there and back. Freeing up that time wasn't easy for an actor His job might mean three weeks in the C龙ch Republic or working with George Lucas on The Adventures of Y oung Indiana Jones in Hollywood.Dad has been involved with some amazing stuff, but Daddy Pig is the one that's had the biggest impact all over the world.

Athletes slept on beds made from recycled cardboard. The medals were produced out of old appliances such as smartphones and laptops. Over 90% of J apanese cities, towns and villages participated in the two-year effort to collect recycled materials to produce 5000 medals. Eighty tons of s mall electrical devices were collected to make this project successfulWith the 2024 Olympics Games underway in Paris, new environmental efforts are coming into play. Observers will sit on chairs made of p lastic recycled from local bins. This decision was made due to a lack of u nused raw materials to make new seats, so the eco-construction finn Le Pave turned to make the seats out of waste. Around 11,000 seats will be made from recycled materials.The plastic collection for Paris 2024 has been carried out in the region's schools, and over five million coloured bottle caps have been recovered. Moreover, 80% of the 100 tons of recycled plastic needed to make the seats come from the yellow bins collections. This is all part of t he Paris 2024 "zero waste" strategy to limit single-use plastic usage and encourage a circular economy.The Olympic Games organizers are planning to make the Paris 2024 Games the greenest Olympic Games yet. They intend to employ a � that will lessen the climate impact of the Games by predicting, avoiding, reducing and balancing emissions and encouraging others to get involved. The Summer Games have emitted 3.6 million tons of c arbon emissions in previous years. The Paris 2024 Games has set a carbon budget of 1.5 million tons which includes the emissions from construction, transportation and operations of t he Games.These plans are ambitious but are achievable.

Having anywhere from one to four hours of screen time per day at age 1 is linked with higher risks of developmental delays in communication sk仆Is,fine motor skills, personal and social sk仆Is,and problem-solving skiJls by age 2, according to a study of 7,097 children published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. The study measured how many hours children used screens per day at age 1 and how they perfonned in these developmental domains（领域）at ages 2 and 4. Both measures were according to the mothers'self-reports By age 2, those who had had up to four hours of screen time per day were up to 3 times more likely to experience developmental delays in communication and problem-solving skills Those who had spent four or more hours with screens were 4.78 times more likely to have underdeveloped communication sk仆Is,1.74 times more likely to have poor performances in fine motor skills and two times more likely to have underdeveloped personal and social skills by age 2.By age 4, risk remained only in the communication and problem-solving categories "One of the areas that is relatively understudied in the whole screen time literature is looking at the impacts of screen exposure on very young kids, especially when screens are introduced to babies," said Dr. John Hutton, an associate professor of general and community pediatrics(儿科）at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. "It's definitely a global concern, and I think the findings should really be applied to other countries as well." "Technology use can take time away from interpersonal relationships that develop social skills since real people are more multidimensional than characters on a screen." Hutton added.

(A)Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety－five would have the same effect.Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales（鲸鱼）.A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals.The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected(被感染的).Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists don’t think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They wantto prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.【文章大意】本文叙述了研究表明噪音污染引起了海洋生物的危险，科学家将来要采取措施拯救海洋生物，阻止噪音对海洋生物的伤害，提醒我们也要意识到保护海洋生物的重要性。

广东省惠州市2023-2024学年高三上学期第二次调研考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Bike-friendly cities around the worldCycling is kind to the environment so it is an excellent way to take in the city. Here are 4bike-friendly cities having adopted this green mode of transport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Montréal, CanadaMontréal has already established protected bike paths since the 1980s. BIXI is the city’s bike-sharing system with 9, 600 bikes and almost 800 stations. Cyclists can make their visit to the Tour de L’lle Montreal, a yearly bike ride where cyclists take to the streets for a day without any other vehicles being allowed on the roads.Malmö, SwedenCycling in Malmö is enjoyable due to the relaxed and easy-going manner of most cyclists. The calming atmosphere makes it a great experience, even for nervous riders. A highly recommended bike route is from Ribersborg park to Limhamn Harbour, where riders can take a few good photos of the famous Oresund Bridge.Beijing, ChinaIn the 1970s, bicycles were the main mode of transportation for people in Beijing. However, dedicated (专用的) cycle paths for cyclists were limited. Only in May 2019, did the city launch its first specific cycle path. This achievement in cycling facility is worth a shout-out for a city with over 21 million people.Bogota, ColombiaBogota first introduced the concept of cycle path in 1974. The idea sees cars being banned from city roads every Sunday from 7 a.m.to 2 p.m., helping cyclists, runners and walkers exercise safely. Since then, the city has slowly but steadily expanded the program, including setting up dedicated cycle paths. As a result, Bogota now has 550km of bike paths and is the most bike-friendly city in Latin America.1．What make(s)Montréal different from other cities?A．A well-developed bike-sharing system.B．The oldest protected bike paths.C．An annual bicycle event.D．The most calming effect on cyclists.2．Which city will attract cyclists interested in photography?A．Beijing.B．Malmö.C．Montréal.D．Bogota. 3．What do Beijing and Bogota have in common?A．Improvement in cycling facility.B．Shift in primary means of transportation.C．Regular investment in building bicycle paths.D．Multiple specific cycle paths connecting districts.The input Dad has on my career is incomparable. My earliest memories are of Dad sitting in the kitchen playing the guitar, listening to his favourite song by his favourite singer, and encouraging his little girl to poke (戳) keys randomly on the piano. Even watching Top of the Pops, he would get so passionate about music in it. We weren’t a religious family, but there was something spiritual about Dad’s connection with music.Music also became a source of comfort for me. I failed to do well academically at school and had no friends. Being at school consumed so much of my emotional energy. Instead of going to school to learn stuff, I felt as though I was simply trying to get people to like me. Things were better, but the only time I truly felt happy was when I was at home listening to music with Mum and Dad or writing songs on the piano —and the older I got, the more powerful music felt.Dad was always my biggest supporter. When I started giving live performances at the local bar, he was the one who drove me there and back. Freeing up that time wasn’t easy for an actor. His job might mean three weeks in the Czech Republic or working with George Lucas on The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones in Hollywood.Dad has been involved with some amazing stuff, but Daddy Pig is the one that’s had the biggest impact all over the world. When I was flying to Australia for my first tour, I was trying to find something to watch on the little screen and I noticed they had Peppa Pig. If I’m missing home and family, I always put it on. Daddy Pig is a fairly real version of my dad —he loves chocolate cake, he’s funny and usually breaks things when he’s trying to mend them. Mum and Dad were friends with one of the producers of the show and I often wonder ifhe looked at my dad and thought, “That’s him …that’s Daddy Pig.”4．What can we learn about the author’s father?A．He was good at writing songs.B．He was attached to music in his soul.C．He encouraged her to play the guitar.D．He was passionate about watching TV series.5．How did the author’s father support her career?A．By picking her up in a tight schedule.B．By doing a demanding job as an actor.C．By watching her musical performances.D．By giving live performances at the local bar.6．Why did the author mention Peppa Pig?A．It’s her favourite childhood cartoon.B．She saw her father through Daddy Pig.C．She took pride in this world famous cartoon.D．It’s a cartoon about her hometown and motherland.7．Which of the following can best describe the author’s Dad?A．Funny and honest.B．Strict and hardworking.C．Famous and patient.D．Supportive and influential.During the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, there was a lot of talk about the environmental efforts taken.

Both measures were according to the mothers’ self-reports.By age 2, those who had had up to four hours of screen time per day were up to 3 times more likely to experience developmental delays in communication and problem-solving skills. Those who had spent four or more hours with screens were 4.78 times more likely to have underdeveloped communication skills,1.74 times more likely to have poor performances in fine motor skills and two times more likely to have underdeveloped personal and social skills by age2. By age 4, risk remained only in the communication and problem-solving categories.“One of the areas that is relatively understudied in the whole screen time literature is looking at the impacts of screen exposure on very young kids, especially when screens are introduced to babies,” said Dr. John Hutton, an associate professor of general and community pediatrics (儿科) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. “It’s definitely a global concern, and I think the findings should really be applied to other countries as well.”“Technology use can take time away from interpersonal relationships that develop social skills since real people are more multidimensional than characters on a screen.” Hutton added.

But it’s not all about the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the cook. 16 Whether it is a plate, a glass, a bowl or a cup, colour makes a significant impact on your guests.17 After that first impression, the brain integrates the visual information and affects perception(认知), making you think that the same food is excellent, good or average. Thus, the goal for dinner parties is to ensure that the food looks pleasing to the eye, so your guests will think it tastes as good as it looks.Bowl colour influences the desirability of food for picky eaters, as well as the perception of saltiness. Picky eaters tend to perceive meals in red and blue bowls as saltier compared to white. And they are more unwilling to try new food in a red bowl. 18You can never go wrong with a white plate. Just avoid it when the food served is pale. For desserts, white is ideal because it increases flavors and enhances sweetness. 19 Serving food in a black bowl can increase perceptions of its saltiness and portion size.To bring extra aesthetic(审美的)appeal, creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour, you can serve your meal on bright plates. But be careful! 20 Similar ingredient colors to the tableware make everything integrate together and your guests think they have less food.A．It starts with your sight.B．But the result of dark plates can vary a little.C．However, the rules of colour may not apply to all.D．Besides, colourful plates are preferred by choosy eaters.E．Food should only look more vivid depending on the meal.F．The tableware is also an essential element, especially the colour.G．So, for demanding guests, choose the colour of the tableware first.三、完形填空Kathy Xu,a high school teacher,had always wanted to see a shark in the wild.TheReef.She was so inspired by its beauty and grace that tears 22 to her eyes.After returning home,Xu learned about the shark trade 23 at one of Indonesia’s largest fish markets,on the island of Lombok.Shark parts including meat,cartilage(软骨)and teeth are cut up for export.The most prized are the fins,which 24 high prices.Curious,Xu 25 her bags and headed to the fish market.There,she spoke with several fishermen.Shark fishing is 26 risky and involves hard physical work,but it is one of few ways for them to 27 for their families.“I told them I’d pay them to take 28 out to see these snorkelling havens,“she says.Together, Xu and the fishermen came up with the idea of snorkelling boat trips,and a deal was 29 .In late 2012,Xu 30 her full-time job to focus on building The Dorsal Effect, an ecotourism business she hoped would help save the declining shark 31 .In 2019,Xu found a female Rhynchobatus cook, a relative of the shark.The species had not been seen for more than 20 years and was believed to be 32 .The discovery gave scientists hope,and it could be 33 for an in-depth conservation study.In the past decade,global demand for shark fins has 34 -a promising result of conservation campaigns.For now,Kathy,41,is proud of the small changes she sees happening on Lombok,from the fishermen who now have a new way to 35 an income to the schoolchildren who learn about sharks on tours with The Dorsal Effect.21．A．existed B．approached C．came D．scheduled 22．A．bounced B．sprang C．dropped D．fell 23．A．taking place B．coming along C．taking off D．coming out 24．A．cut B．pay C．agree D．fetch 25．A．purchased B．filled C．packed D．opened 26．A．slightly B．rarely C．terribly D．partly 27．A．care B．provide C．,account D．strive 28．A．competitors B．tourists C．hosts D．participants 29．A．changed B．discussed C．canceled D．made 30．A．continued B．accomplished C．lost D．quit 31．A．population B．life C．species D．production 32．A．extinct B．missing C．valueless D．hidden33．A．knowledge B．grounds C．necessities D．stress 34．A．declined B．increased C．firmed D．boomed 35．A．offer B．distribute C．use D．earn四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
