2020年长沙市第一中学高三英语月考试卷及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ASome young people win attention because of their good looks or their singing ability. A much smaller number gain fame because they have done something important and worthwhile with their abilities. Rishab Jain is among the latter. In 2018, 13-year-oldRishab developed a way to use AI technology to help pancreatic(胰腺的) cancer patients and won the3MYoung Scientist Challenge, a nationwide middle-school science competition, and its $25,000 prize.In the last stage of the contest, Rishab competed againstnine other finalists at the 3M Innovation Center(创新中心) in St.Paul,Minnesota. Leading up to the big meet, each finalist had partnered with a scientist to further develop their inventions.Rishab explains what led him to create his invention. First,a family friend died of cancer. Then Rishab learned about how deadly pancreatic cancer is, and that its low survival rate is due to how difficult it is to treat. "I'm also into programming, so I was learning about AI technology. I decided to try to solve a real-world problem using it."His winnings have been put in further research and in his nonprofit Samyak Science Society, which helps poor children enter the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. Rishab is also raising awareness about pancreatic cancer. These efforts make him quite different from teenagers of his age. Considering becoming a biomedical engineer or a doctor一or both, he has also put some money aside to further his own learning. Almost certainly the doors of higher education will open wide to him before he even knocks.That's an outstanding outlook for one so young. Rashib is committed to helping very sick people in need. He is also providing teenagers of his age with a much-needed model of what kinds of things youth can achieve.1. What can we learn about the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2018?A. It was intended to solve medical problems.B. It was a nationwide AI competition for teenagers.C. It offered the finalists an opportunity to work with scientists.D. It allowed the finalists to learn AI technology in the 3M center.2. How did Rishab win the 3M Young Scientist Challenge?A.He showed excellent programming ability.B. He figured out the survival rate of pancreatic cancer.C. He introduced poor children to STEM education.D. He applied AI technology to treating pancreatic cancer.3. Which of the following best describes Rishab?A. Talented and caring.B. Independent and humorous.C. Responsible and patient.D. Polite and inspiring.BDo you ever listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don’t. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are muchcooler. But scientists found that people’s music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’, whether you like it or not.We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices. But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in their life.The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&.B, which is usually uplifting and danceable.When middle age comes, most people have settled down. During this period, people prefer music, such as jazz and classical, as well as music like country, folk and blues.As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods. They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country music and jazz music. But you must be questioning. “Aren’t there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?” Of course there are. But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth.4. What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy?A. They are actually less cool.B. They are worth listening to.C. They are especially serious.D. They are hard to understand.5. How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.6. People who want to make friends mostly prefer ________.A. jazz musicB. country musicC. rock musicD. pop music7. What is the best title for the text?A. People Have Different Opinions on MusicB. People Listen to Music for the Same ReasonC. People’s Taste in Music Changes with TimeD. People’s Lifestyle Can Be Changed by MusicCAn afternoon nap(午睡)is one of the joys of life, although too much napping could signal all is not well. In some cultures, people will have a daily nap — thisis fine. The warning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime, when they did not before. There is certainly a good reason to believe that daytime sleepiness — as in the Alzheimer's study — can be a marker of an underlying condition.For most people, napping during the day is mainly a sign that you are not getting enough sleep at night, says Dr. Neil Stanley, a sleep expert. "If you feel sleepy during the day, you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs — it doesn't need to be kept awake with caffeine, it needs sleep. "The feeling to notice is "sleepiness", he says, not "tiredness", which could be more psychological and linked to stress.So how do you nap well? The key thing, says Stanley, is how long your nap lasts. Choose either a 20-or 90-minute nap. "When you fall asleep, you'll quickly go through the lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep. You don't want to wake up in deep sleep because that's when you wake and feel worse than you did before. "Napping for 20 minutes means you will wake up before you go into deep sleep; napping for 90 minutes means you'll complete a sleep cycle.Once you factor in the time it takes to fall asleep — some people are better at napping than others but, says Stanley, "a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes" — you can set an alarm, allowing a 30- to 40-minute period for a short nap, and up to two hours for a longer one.A good time to nap is during the body's natural dip in the afternoon, between 2 pm and 4 pm. "You don't really want to be napping much pastthatbecause then you are going to be eating into your night-time sleep," Stanley says. The point, he stresses, is to get good night-time sleep, which would ensure you probably don't needto nap at all.8. What does an afternoon nap indicate for most people?A. Caffeine addiction.B. Psychological stress.C. Insufficient night sleep.D. Potential physical illness.9. What is the key to a good nap?A. Duration.B. Surroundings.C. Health.D. Stages.10. What does the underlined word "that" in the last paragraph refer to?A. A 30- to 40- minute period.B. Between 2 pm and 4 pm.C. Between 5 and 12 minutes.D. A 20- to 90-minute period.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Why to phase a napB. When to take a good napC. What to learn from a napD. How to have a successful napDWhen you walk on a sandy beach, it takes more energy than striding down a sidewalk — because the weight of your body pushes into the sand. Turns out, the same thing is true for vehicles driving on roads. The weight of the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation (凹陷) in the pavement (路面) — and it makes it such that it’s continuously driving up a very shallow hill.Jeremy Gregory, a sustainability scientist at M.I.T. and histeam modeled how much energy could be saved — and green-house gases avoided — by simply stiffening (硬化) the nation’s roads and highways. And they found that stiffening 10 percent of the nation’s roads every year could prevent 440 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions over the next five decades — enough to offset half a percent of projected transportation sector emissions over that time period. To put those emissions savings into context — that amount is equivalent to how much CO2 you’d spare the planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground — or by growing seven billion trees — for a decade.The results are in the Transportation Research Record.As for how to stiffen roads? Gregory says you could mix small amounts of synthetic fibers orcarbon nanotubes into paving materials. Or you could pave with cement-based concrete, which is stiffer than asphalt (沥青).This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual hurdles. Usually, when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation sector, you’re talking about changing policies related tovehicles and also driver behavior, which involves millions and millions of people — as opposed to changing the way we design and maintain our pavements. That’s just on the order of thousands of people who are working in transportation agencies. And when it comes to retrofitting (翻新) our streets and highways —those agencies are where the rubber meets the road.12. Why does the author mention “walk on a sandy beach” in paragraph 1?A. To present a fact.B. To make a contrast.C. To explain a rule.D. To share an experience.13. What suggestion does the author give to reduce CO2 emissions?A. Hardening the road.B. Keeping oil in the ground.C. Growing trees for decades.D. Improving the transportation.14. What is the advantage of this suggestion?A. Gaining more support.B. Consuming less money.C. Involving more people.D. Facing fewer usual obstacles.15. What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph?A.Those agencies are likely to make more rules.B. Those agencies will change some related policies.C. Those agenciesmight put more rubber tires on the roads.D. Those agencies will play a key role in making this happen.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。

一、现代文阅读(35分)(一)现代文阅读Ⅰ(本题共5小题,19分)阅读下面的文字,完成1~5题。
材料一中国诗词讲究含蓄,以淡为美。
而英美诗歌则比较奔放,以感情激越为胜。
另外,中国诗词多以歌颂为主,而英美现代诗歌多以揭露为主。
中国诗人或托物言志,或借景抒情,永远把自己的情感埋藏于诗词之中,我们只有通过“感悟”才可能感觉出其美,最突出的例子莫过于马致远的《天净沙·秋思》。
他几乎没有用一个表达感情的词语,只是把“枯藤”“老树”“昏鸦”简单地排列在一起,寥寥几笔便勾勒出一幅凄凉寂寥的景象,后面两句把几种事物列在一处,却恰如其分地渲染了寂寞、惨淡的气氛,“夕阳西下”更是给整幅画面涂上了一层昏黄的颜色,最后一笔带出“断肠人在天涯”,感觉上前后好像并无直接联系,但感情是连贯的,思路也是连贯的。
一口气读下来,仿佛自己就是诗人所描绘的画中的游子,引起强烈的共鸣。
然而几种事物的并列,虽然没有任何的主观感情,却比再多的语言都要强烈地表达了一种孤寂凄清的感情,这正是中国古典诗歌的魅力所在。
相比之下,英美现代诗歌强调写资本主义社会中畸零人的心理,比较直率地把诗人的所要表达的意思表现出来,直抒胸臆而毫无造作,言尽而意亦尽,回味的空间相对缩小了,但这样比较符合西方人的心理特征、思维特征。
(摘编自吕洋《中西方诗歌比较》)材料二①与中国古典诗歌弱化主体的倾向不同,西方诗歌中的主体差不多总是在场的。
以十四行诗为例,主体总是堂而皇之地出现在诗中,站出来讲话。
这样,西方诗歌就形成了与中国诗歌迥然不同的风格。
②诗歌的风格离不开其文化土壤。
在中国,流行的思想是人与自然的和谐,这种观念的形成与中国人的生活方式和生活环境有关。
早在新石器时代,农业经济就已经建立起来。
几千年来,自给自足的经济稳定繁荣,因此,人们非常依赖自然环境,对自然世界的任何微妙变化都很敏感,他们渴望与自然亲密接触。

一、现代文阅读(34分)(一)现代文阅读Ⅰ(本题共5小题,18分)阅读下面的文字,完成1~5题。
(一)①因为儒家政治构想的最高目标是旨在修身齐家治国平天下的“人”,人与人之间伦理认同即是根本和逻辑起点。
这种伦理的内涵,有着更为普遍和更为基础的对天下之“人”的论述。
先秦时期的中国,以最为根本性的孝、仁来建构人与人的认同,来建构自己与“他者”共在的联系,即天下。
②周朝的天下,以宗法制为联结,宗法制的伦理根基是“孝”。
家庭共同体有了孝的概念,孝的延伸就是天下共同体之“仁”。
仁不是与他者的对立,而是与他者的共生共通。
“仁”即是处理人与人关系的概念,处理人与人之间关系,逻辑上首先要处理与亲人的关系。
只有实现家庭内部的“亲亲”,才能实现向外的“爱人”。
人与家庭共生,通过“仁”的概念转向了人与天下共生。
因此理想的天下就是“不独亲其亲,不独子其子”。
天下大同,是仁孝概念的逻辑必然,也是伦理化天下的根本内涵。
换句话说,天下其实就是人类的伦理共同体,因此在这个共同体之内,就不可能有民族歧视。
③天下为一家,意味着“他者”的取消,即不以政体或民族区分敌我,而是在伦理关系中确证对方的独立性,并与对方共生共在。
天下一家的秩序展现在现实中,就是以伦理关系为核心的礼制。
凡天下之人,皆需仁孝,而仁孝就要服从礼制,服从礼制就要服从天子。
因此,家与天下就在政治秩序层面实现了同构。
随着大一统的实现,天下之内没有了其他的国,国家秩序也就成了天下秩序。
这种伦理化的天下秩序不断将边缘的地域和人民纳入天下中来,荀子说:“四海之内若一家,通达之属莫不从服。
”④后世的中国人,往往不是以民族或者国家来定义中国,而是以文化或文明定义中国。
正是因为中国概念的文明内涵,才导致中国可以消弭地理边界,逐渐与天下趋同。
⑤这种伦理的、文化的天下观念在宋朝受到了某种程度的挑战。

The same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing.The Oxford English Dictionary(OED) is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional differences in English around the world. They want to expand its record of the language.Last year, the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was "cuddy wifter", which means a left-handed person.Now, the OED is widening its search to English speakers around the world. Eleanor Maier, an editor at OED .said the response has been great. Editors are listing a bunch of suggestions to include in the dictionary.These include Hawaii's "hammajang", which means "in a disorderly state". Another is the word for a swimming costume, "dookers" or "duck e rs". It is used in Scotland.The OED also might include the word "frog-drowner", which Americans might use todescribe a downpour of rain. Another possibility is "brick". It means “very cold" to people in New Jersey and New York City.The dictionary has already found that, depending on location, a picture hanging off center might be described as "agley". It might also be called "catawampous" or "ahoo"."The OED aims to cover all types of English," Maier said. That includes scientific words, slang and regional language. Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED's editors to identify regional words. The terms are more often spoken than written down.The appeal is called Words Where You Are. It is looking for more suggestions. We were surprised and pleased by the number of regional words w e were able to include," said Maier. 4."Freezing" is closest in meaning to .A.hammajangB.dook e rsC.brickD.ahoo5.Which local word of the following is most likely from regions of the United Kingdom? A.agl e y B.frog-drown e rC.cuddy wift e rD.brick6.What can be inferred from the passage?A.It is challenging to create a complete collection of regional words.B.People are not committed to responding to the appeal for regional words.C.People use regional words only when they are home or with close friends.D.Having an understanding of regional words can be helpful when communicating. 7.Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?A.It's time to trace the source of local words.B.The same English words can be used to say different things.C.Oxford Dictionary aims to enlarge its collection to appeal to locals.D.Oxford Dictionary will include more regional words from around the globe.On September 11, 2001, I was in the second week of the new school year with my senior English class at T. C.Williams High School just a few miles south of the Pentagon.Suddenly that morning, a colleague who grew up in New York, opened the classroom door and said, "Turn on the TV the World Trade Center has just been hit by a plane. " I've always believed in never letting school get in the way of my students' education. I switched on the TVin front of the room, and my students and I listened to the announcers make a guess about what试卷第4页,总10页had happened ——only to see the second plane hit. At first, the sight of the towers burning didn't seem to have much more immediacy (紧迫性)than a TV action movie. Soon, however, things in that classroom would get far too immediate.In what seemed like about a half-hour after the second plane hit, we heard a loud explosion outside the school. Several students were shocked and I told them not to worry, saying that "it was just a car backfiring". A moment later a boy sitting near the windows said, "That's no car ; look at that black smoke." We could see an enormous plume of smoke rising in the distance, but didn't know where it was coming from until, a few seconds later, the NBC reporter stationed at the Pentagon broke into the New York coverage to say that he felt the ground shake beneath him as he heard an explosion —obviously the same one that had just surprised my students. It was several minutes before it was announced that the explosion came from a plane hitting the Pentagon.At that point, a boy a football player suddenly came undone and had to be comforted by the girls in the class.
