"Good education doesn't mean letting your child enjoy privileges, especially our boys," said Song Wenming, an entrepreneur(企业家）in Jinhua, East China's Zhejiang province." They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future."In August, Song sent his 17-year-old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone, even though it takes a lot of money - around $48,000 per year —to send a child to a strict military school.Statistics shows that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28."All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families, some of them were spoiled," said Jennifer Myers, director of marketing and communications at the school.Song's only son, Song Siyu, had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.Now, three months later, he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism, no matter how unreasonable."The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of individuals," said Song Siyu.'The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character, they are not personal."But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.But for those who stick with it, there is a reward for all the hard work.16.From the second paragraph, we can know the old Chinese saying _____.A. is out of date in modern times.B. is disagreed by rich parents.C. is still worth trustingD. is deeply believed by better educated parent.17.The underlined sentence means tha t _____A. Song sent his only son to military school, so he feels lonely.B. Song is the only one who sends his child t to military school.C. There are other people sending their children to military school besides Song.D. The fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it.18.Song Siyu got some achievements in the military school except _____.A. taking a bath in a short timeB. having his meal with his eyes closedC. taking unreasonable criticismD. improving his character19.How many Chinese students are there at Valley Forge before this year?A. 10B. 13C. 15D. 2520.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. It's likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.B. Most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursingnowadays.C. Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.D. Most Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.BMen have always believed that they are smarter than women. Now, a study has found that while this is certainly true, men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.In the study, scientists measured the IQ of 2500 brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent, but also in the bottom two percent.The study's participants were tested on science, maths, English and mechanical abilities. Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group, there were also twice as many men among the bottom.The aggregate（总数）scores of men and women were similar.One of the study's authors, psychology professor Timothy Bates, said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their homes."The female developmental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground.," the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates, of Edinburgh University, as saying.The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds.It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics. Women have always found to be steadier in their learning.A past study has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds, while men are continuing to receive more thirds.The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors women's steady approach.21.The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.A. man are smarter then womenB. man are more stupid the womenC. a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been foundD. men are more likely to receive first class university degrees22.According to Timothy Bates, less women are in the smartest group because _________.A. they are born stupidB. they have to spend more time to tale care of their homes than menC. they don’t like to take riskD. they are not expected to be high achievers23.The underlined word tallies with in the eighth paragraph means________.A. agree withB. deal withC. go againstD. go with24.It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A. Women are steadier in their learning.B. men are more ready to take risk in everythingC. women are securing more firsts and secondsD. women are doing much better in academy25.Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage? _________.A. Why are men smarter than women?B. Why are men more stupid than women?C. How does the result go along with the past research?D. How can we help the men in the bottom?CThe young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Bananas 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us. I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up?”I asked him. “I … I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir,” he said．“Thank you very much!”When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if he’s a swindler? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.“Oh, gosh! Long time.”“Are you in school now?” I asked. He nodded. “That’s good,” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “It’s a gift.” He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”26.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _________.A. the boy was greedyB. the boy had suffered a lotC. the boy was in bad need of moneyD. the boy was good at bargaining27.The second time the author met the boy, the boy _________.A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nutsB. wanted to express his thanksC. asked him for money for his schoolbooksD. tried to take advantage of him28.The author gave his money to the boy because _________.A. he wanted to make himself feel betterB. he had learnt to help others since childhoodC. he held a higher position in the societyD. his parents asked him to do so29.What does the underlined word “swindler” mean?A. troublemakerB. beggarC. thiefD. cheat30.Which of the following best describes the boy?A. Brave and polite．B. Kind and smart.C. Honest and thankful．D. Shy and nervous.三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共50.0分）Not long ago the movie 2012 came into screen．The people were threatened by those scenes of destroying flood, severe earthquake, terrifying hurricane and constructions representing human civilization being destroyed and even swallowed by disaster．Luckily, they are just the director' s imagination, but the present situation is not heading a positive direction, either．Take my own experience in Alaska as an example．Once I took a trip to the glacier．Along the way there stood signposts marking the snow lines of different years．They started from the foot of the mountain, but it was at the top that I finally saw melting glaciers（融化的冰川）．My heart ached seeing the beautiful blue ice melting at every second．Sad but true, they are the effects of global warming and the result of our human impact．Furthermore, each year the rising sea level will kill 56 million people, and that' s about the population of the entire Italy．According to studies, if the temperature keeps on rising like this, by the year 2050, some islands and coastal cities including New York, Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney will be drowned in water．Our fortune is in our own hands．It depends on us to shape our future, to reduce future human impact and find ways to form a peaceful relationship with our environment.

AMarathon is the supreme discipline of long-distance running. They are not only attractive for top athletes, but also for hobby runners. The choice of events is almost endless. Now we have put together some most breathtakingly beautiful ones that you’ll be tempted（诱惑）to run holding a camera.Ultra-trail Angkor, CambodiaThe newest of a series of Angkor marathons, this endurance test offers 32-km, 64-km and 128-km routes around the famous temples, including Bayon and Angkor Wat. Watch out for monkeys, and the gigantic tree vines that memorably hug some of the great buildings.Dodo Trail, MauritiusCrossing rugged coastline and tropical forests, the Dodo Trail is full of wildlife, although the famous dodo bird remains, sadly, extinct. While the demanding 50km Xtreme route covers 828m-high Black River Peak, a beginner-friendly Mini Dodo Trail （10 km） is easier.Great Ocean Road marathon, AustraliaAnother well-known scenic coastal drive, southern Australia’s Great Ocean Road stages a footrace every May. Neck-ache could be a problem: in one direction lies the scenic South Sea, and in another handsome forest and, if you’re lucky, a koala or two.Be warned, however, that the series of steep slopes make this one of the toughest mar-athons.Big Five marathon, South AfricaMarathon meets safari at the privately owned Entabeni Game Reserve every June. The start time is dependent on the race-day location of the Big Five members -African elephants, Cape buffalo, lions, leopards and rhinos-as organizers try to guarantee sight-ings.1. Which marathon is suitable for less experienced runners?A. Ultra-trail Angkor.B. Dodo Trail.C. Great Ocean Road marathon.D. Big Five marathon.2. Why does the writer mention “neck-ache” in Great Ocean Road marathon?A. To highlight the wonderful scenery.B. To present the difficulty of the event.C. To attract attention to physical health.D. To warn runners of dangerous animals.3. What do the four marathons have in common?A. Risky and tiring routes.B. Beautiful coastal views.C. Chances to see wild animals.D. Fixed time for annual events.BA 13-year-old American boy on Saturday became the youngest climber to conquer Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain.Jordan Romero from Big Bear, California, climbed up the 8, 850-meter summit （峰顶） from the Tibetan side. On the same day, a Nepali（尼泊尔的）man, Apa Sherpa, broke his own world record of climbing Everest when he reached the summit for the twentieth time. Apa Shepa's team set off from Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, last month, heading for the base camp（大本营） on the Chinese side of the mountain.“The team has just called in and believe that they are standing on top of Mt. Everest, ”Romero's blog said. “Their dreams have now come true. Everyone is happy. ”The climbing has put Romero one step closer to reaching his goal of climbing the highest mountains on all seven continents （大洲）. “It is just a goal. ”Romero said. He had already climbed five peaks （高峰）, and needs to climb only Vinson Massif, the highest peak in Antarctica, to hit his goal.The youngest person before to climb Everest was 16-year-old Temba Tsheri Sherpa of Nepal. Romero climbed together with a team including his father Paul and three local guides. He wanted to pick a small piece of rock from the top of the world and wear it in a necklace.While Nepal insists that anyone planning to climb Mount Everest must beat least 16, China does not have any age restrictions （限制）. Some mountain climbers ha-ven’t agreed with the Romero family for letting him try it but his father said the climb-ing from the Chinese side is less dangerous.4. Jordan Romero climbed up Mount Everest mainly to ____.A. meet Apa SherpaB. build his bodyC. break the world recordD. realize part of his goal5. To stand on the highest mountains on all seven continents, Jordan Romero plans to climb the peak in ____.A. AsiaB. AntarcticaC. EuropeD. Africa6. Why did Jordan Romero choose to climb from the Chinese side of Mount Ev-erest?A. China allows climbers of any age to climb Mt. Everest.B. It wasn't far from Jordan's base camp on the Chinese side.C. There were more challenges on the Chinese side.D. There were more local guides on the Chinese side.7. We can learn from the passage that Romero ___.A. is the first teenager to conquer Mr. EverestB. climbed Mr. Everest without the help of local guidesC. still has two peaks to conquer in order to hit his goalD. is supported by his fatherCSome people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality. But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain. How did we miss this? Why do we have these social misunderstandings about happi-ness? Because we assumed you were average. When we study people, scientists are often interested in what the average is.Many people think happiness is genetic. That's only half the story, because the average person does not fight their genes. When we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers --- people who are above average for a positive aspect like optimism or intelligence --- a wildly different picture appears. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single proces-sor brain will devote its limited resources as you process the world. If you scan for the negative first, your brain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded（嵌入） in your work. But if you scan the world for the positive, you start to acquire an amazing advantage.I wrote the cover story for the Harvard Business Review magazine on “Happi-ness Leads to Profits. ” Based on my article called “Positive Intelligence” and myresearch in The Happiness Advantage, I summarized our researched conclusion: the single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and busy workforce.A decade of research in the business world proves that happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: increasing sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a number of health and quality-of-life im-provements.8. The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to _____.A. the fact that people are happyB. the connection between happiness and educational outcomeC. the fact that people often misunderstand happinessD. the fact that most people are average9. What can we learn from the passage?A. Scientists are only interested in what the average is.B. You can choose to be happy or not.C. The average are not happy at all.D. Our decisions and habits have nothing to do with happiness.10. Why does the writer mention his articles and research?A. To advertise himself.B. To arouse the readers' interest.C. To support his point about happiness.D. To attract the readers to read his articles.11. What is the author's purpose of writing this article?A. To describe the misunderstandings about happiness.B. To show people the importance of happiness.C. To make the point of what business and educational outcome lies in.D. To make the point that happiness promotes business and educational outcome.DHave you ever yelled at your computer because it wasn't working? Your computer couldn't "yell” back -until now. AI researchers are now working on computers that can argue and perhaps even win debates with humans.IBM scientists published a paper in Nature on March 17 about their new AI system - Project Debater. It can debate with people independently in front of live audiences. After listening to arguments from its opponent （对手）, the system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. It looks for ideas that can support its own argument.Testing on the system began in 2019 when it debated with Harish Natarajan, a professional debater who holds the world record for most debate competition victories. The debate topic was whether or not preschool should be subsidized（给. . . . . 补助）, and the AI system argued in favor of this idea. Although the AI lost the debate in the end based on the audience vote, the audience said it did very well. Interestingly, 58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge about the topic, while only 20 percent said the same about Natarajan. Also, Project Debater hasshown strength at making impressive and logical opening statements in the debate, ac-cording to Scientific American.After competing with various human debaters, the AI system’s overall perfor-mance remains inferior（逊色的）, “fully capable of sounding awkward during an argument, ＂ noted Scientific American.In other words, the back-and-forth arguments in the AI system's debates don't sound like a real human conversation. “On stage, Project Debater is far from perfect, and its missteps （过失） reveal just how difficult and how human argumentation and debate are, " said computer scientist Chris Reed of the University of Dundee in the UK.Humans and technology have been facing off for decades. In 1997, IBM's Deep Blue became the first computer to defeat a reigning（卫冕的）chess champion, best-ing titan （巨人）Garry Kasparov in a six-game match. So after two decades, have IBM's researchers just reproduced a “Deep Blue” to debate? It's much more than that, the researchers noted. Argument and debate are fundamental（基本的）capabilities （能力） of human intelligence, and it’s a step outside of AI’s comfort zone to enter this realm（领域）, according to the article in Nature.12. How can Project Debater debate with humans?A. By learning from humans.B. By making use of its internal data.C. By listening to researchers' instructions.D. By collecting a lot of data in a short time.13. What did the majority of the audience think about the performance of Project Debater in the testing?A. It made them more aware of the topic.B. Its statements were not logical enough.C. Its overall performance was better than Natarajan's.D. Its opening statements were boring.14. What do paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly talk about?A. The disadvantages of Project Debater.B. Project Debater's competitions with other human debaters.C. The application of the A system in the future.D. Challenges facing the AI system and human debaters.15. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. Project Debater is considered an updated version of Deep Blue.B. Humans have an advantage over AI in debating.C. AI has a long way to go before it can win against humans.D. AI technology hasn't progressed much in the last decades.第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）根据短文内容, 从短文后的16--20选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。

2020-2021学年广州市培正中学高三英语上学期期末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AYou haven’t truly visited a city until you’ve experienced its nightlife. Watching a big city likeLondongradually turn dark and darker into the night is a beautiful journey of time and light. So how about taking a historical evening walk and touchingsome of the nicest areas in centralLondon? Let’s get started.6:30 pmThe walk starts on theMillenniumBridge. On the bridge, watch the scenic city across the River Thames with the skyscrapers gradually lighting up against the darkening skies.TheMillenniumBridgehas been featured in many London-based films, includingHarry Potter, and the filmGuardians of the Galaxy.7:30 pmIt’s getting dark. A fifteen-minute walk northwest fromSt Paul’s Cathedral takes you to the historic Borough Market. During the evenings, you find a lot of restaurants around the market. This is an excellent time to get your dinner.9:00 pmThe next stop isLondonBridge. This is about 6 minutes’ walk from the Borough Market. As you join other onlookers and mentally go through the nursery school rhyme of “LondonBridgeis Falling Down”, you get lost again in history. Why does the song sayLondonBridgeis falling and who is the fair lady?During theLondoncity fire of 1897,LondonBridgeserved an important role in fire control. It was one of the major structures that prevented the fire from crossing over to the other side ofLondon.11:30 pmLondonnever sleeps; it’s a few minutes to midnight and everywhere is still filled with people moving around. About four minutes away from the Golden Jubilee Bridges isTrafalgar Square, our next stop.12:00 amIt’s been a beautiful evening, hasn’t it?1.

They were travelling on anearly deserted two-lane highway when Betty noticed a steady light in the sky that was getting bigger and brighter.She thought it was a planet or a star. Barney, stimulated at her excitement, said it was probably just a wandering aeroplane. Whatever it was, it appeared to be following them.They stopped their car for a closer look. What they said happened next, changed their lives. The flying object was noiseless. It appeared to be spinning. It was as big as a jet but shaped like a pancake.So formed the tale of Betty Hill, a New Hampshire social worker who, with Barney, a postal worker, claimed to be kidnapped by aliens, who were from outer space, on a moonlit night about 60 years ago.After reluctantly going public with her experience, Hill, who died of cancer at her New Hampshire home, aged 85, became a celebrity on the UFO circuit and was known as the “first lady of UFOs”.Intriguingly, at the time of the incident, the Hills remembered nothing except that they had spied a strange object in the sky. Later, troubled by nightmares and other stress-related pains, the couple underwenthypnosis(催眠) where the full story came out with the aid of Boston psychiatrist Benjamin Simon, an expert in medical hypnosis.On their night of contact the Hills arrived homeat 5 a.m., unable to account for two lost hours. They were also confused by the odd marks on their telescopes, deep signs on the tops of Barney’s best shoes, Betty’s torn dress and strange circular markings on their car that made the needle of a compass jump wildly.After seeing them for six months, the psychiatrist concluded the Hills’ lost memory about the hours they lost on that night in 1961 “appeared to involve an amazing experience on the part of both of the Hills”. Whether theexperience had been fantasy or reality, Simon could not say, but he said he was convinced they had not been lying. He guessed that it had been a kind of shared dream.Reports of aliens capturing humans and taking them aboard oddly shaped spacecraft were “comparatively rare” before 1975. After a movie, “The UFO Incident”, about the Hills came out, however, such stories increased.4. When they saw the strange object in the sky, Barney and Betty Hill ______________.A. were astonished at its strange flight and noiseB. regarded it as just a wandering car following themC. realized immediately what the danger it might causeD. showed curiosity in discovering what it really was5.

The Hills later sought the help of a psychiatrist because ______________.A. they had lots of secrets in their lives after the strange experienceB. their lives were greatly disturbed by the unexpected experienceC. they wanted to share their unforgettable experience with the expertD. they hoped to forget completely what had happened to them7. This article was written in order to ______________.A. describe an unusual event to the readersB. convince readers of the existence of UFOsC. record how people were caught by aliensD. warn people of the dangers the UFOs causeCAfter almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing, you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heart's desire.Now the most important question comes, what to do with the earnings? Should you fulfill dreams of the present, invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day?Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness. One may be on a winning streak（连续成功）now，but it will not always be so. One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain. and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days,they say.Do not spend too much,live within a budget,refrain fromcredit no matter how small and save for the future.Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary, the lessons start. In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to bestmanage one's money.People often think like this-one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world. Then, once we do earn enough money, tomorrow's plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living for that future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in -our 50s? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future?Good questions, aren't they? 1 say travel but don' t let yourself run dry, treat yourself to some luxuries but also keep enough for your necessities, and enjoy your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future.Life is for the living. so live it sensibly.8. Why do elders teach us to save money?A. Because there are more rainy days in life.B. Because no one can win streak.C. Because good days may end.D. Because money can't buy everything.9. What does the underlined phrase "“refrain from" mean in Paragraph 3?A. select fromB. hold backC. rely onD. prefer to10. What can we infer from the passage?A. We should enjoy ourselves at the right time.B. We should wait to travel until we have enough money.C. We should live for the future no matter what.D. We should enjoy ourselves to the fullest when we have money.11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Money is something but not everything.B. One should save for rainy days.C. Live in the moment before you live for the future.D. Live the present wisely for your life.DIn 2015, a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386, 000 words in the entireFrench Scrabble Dictionaryin just nine weeks. However, he does not speak French. Richards’ impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works — real AI. Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI canoutperformhumans at routine tasks — provided the task is in one field with a lot of data — it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact, four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs — executives, diplomats, economists — go well beyond the AI limitation of single-field and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.Are you worried that these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require compassion, trust and sympathy — which AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their children.So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.12. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic.B. To mention Nigel’s feat.C. To stress the importance of good memory.D. To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.13. Which of the following best explains “outperform” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Be superior toB. Be equal toC. Be similar toD. Be related to14. Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced?A. The writer.B. The shop assistant.C. The babysitter.D. The psychologist.15. What does the text suggest people do about job replacement of AI?A. Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.B. Get more support from the government.C. Apply for the donation from companies.D. Upgrade themselves all the time.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。
