ARailcardsWant to save on the price of your train tickets?Then you'll need to buy a National Railcard.The first step is to pick the right Railcard,but don't worry!We'll walk you through each type and help you find the one most suited to your needs.The Network RailcardSpend E30 on a Network Railcard for the year and look forward to 1/3 off your train tickets during off-peak(非高峰）times.Enjoy discounted travel across 16 counties(郡）in the South East,evenincluding the whole of London!It is a great option for anyone who doesn't fall into any of the other Railcard categories,as people of any age can hold one.The Student RailcardAt the cost of just E30,this Railcard is excellent value for money.Whether you have an early morning lecture or you're rolling home in the early hours after a night out, you can still get 1/3 off on all passenger rail services within the UK!The only requirement for this Railcard is that you need to be within the ages of 16 and 25.The Millennial RailcardThis Railcard is available for all who are between the ages of 26 and 30, regardless of peak or off-peak times.However,it is currently only available digitally, with users being required to download the Railcard app and show ticket inspectors during train ticket checks.Costing just E30,the new Railcard can be used across the UK.The Disabled Persons RailcardAny passenger with a disability is eligible(符合条件的）to apply for one.It only costs£20,making your overall discount for the year even better!The most important thing is that any types of tickets can be purchased throughout the UK rail network. Besides,it can also get you discounts on London attractions.21.Which Railcard just applies to train services in part of the UK?A.The Network Railcard.B.The Student Railcard.C.The Millennial Railcard.D.The Disabled Persons Railcard.22.What is required for the Student Railcard?A.Riding hours.B. Railcard category.C.Age range.D.Service charge.23.What is special about the Millennial Railcard?A.It cannot be used during peak times.B.It offers discounts on London attractions.C.It is the cheapest among the four Railcards.D.It requires its owners to download an app.BCedar,a third-generation beekeeper from the countryside of New South Wales, Australia,says that he was inspired to try and design a simpler hive(蜂箱）after his brother was stung(蜇）during one of their honey-gathering tasks.The young guy knew that there must be a clever way to gather honey without having to wear protective suits,open the hive,and disturb the little bees.After several years,Cedar and his father Stuart finally perfected their invention-the Flow.Hive, which can save beekeepers hours of work simply by channeling all of its honey into a tap that can be turned on and off at will.Four years after their initial success,the Flow Hive has had a big influence on honeybee populations around the world.The father and his son say that they have successfully shipped over 51,000 hives to 150 different countries.Since they introduced the hive in 2015,the number of beekeepers in the U.S.alone has increased by over 10%.Their success is particularly significant since honeybee populations have been steadily decreasing as a result of habitat loss.That's why now Stuart and Cedar Anderson are donating their hive earnings to international honeybee advocacy groups.＂We're proud to have donated 100% of profits from the sale of our Flow Pollinator(传粉昆虫）House to nine local pollinator projects in Australia and the U.S. that are at work protecting wild habitats all around the world,"said the Andersons in a statement."Pollinators need large areas of habitat to grow healthily-the more we can do to conserve native habitats,the more opportunities these tiny environmental champions will have to do their important work."24.What can we learn about Cedar?A. He is often hurt by honeybees.B.He is from a big city in Australia.C.He knows a lot about beekeeping.D.He dislikes working with his brother.25.Which of the following best describes the Flow Hive?A.It is friendly to the environment.B.It can improve the quality of honey.C.It can help bees produce more honey.D.It simplifies the honey-gathering process.26.Why do the Andersons make donations?A.To expand their business.B.To protect bees' habitats.C.To build more Flow Hives.D.To help the poor in Australia.27.What would be the best title for the text?A.“Honey on Tap"BeehiveB.The Cost of BeekeepingC.The Growth of a BeekeeperD.True Facts About HoneybeesCIn order to help discover spoilage(变质）and reduce food waste for supermarkets and consumers,researchers have developed new low-cost,smart phone-linked, eco-friendly spoilage sensors for meat and fish packaging.One in three UK consumers throw away food just because it reaches the use-by date(保存期），but 60%(4.2 million tonnes)of the £12.5 billion-worth of food we throw away each year is safe to eat.The researchers,whose findings were published in ACS Sensors,say the sensors could also eventually replace the use-by date-a widely used indicator of being fresh and eatable.The sensors cost two US cents each to make.Known as"paper-based electrical gas sensors(PEGS)",they detect spoilage gases like ammonia(a poisonous gas with a strong unpleasant smell)in meat and fish products.The information provided by the electronic nose is received by a smart phone,and then you can know whether the food is fresh and safe to eat.The Imperial College London researchers who developed PEGS made the sensors by printing carbon electrodes(电极）onto a special type of paper.The materials are eco-friendly and harmless,sothey don't damage the environment and are safe to use in food packaging.The sensors,combined with a tiny electronic system,then inform nearby mobile devices,which identify and understand the data about spoilage gases.Lead author Dr Firat Guder,of Imperial's Department of Bioengineering,said, ＂Although they'redesigned to keep us safe,use-by dates can lead to eatable food being thrown away.They don't always reflect its actual freshness.In fact,people often get sick from foodborne diseases due to poor storage,even when an item is within its use-by date.＂These sensors are cheap enough so we hope to see supermarkets using them within three years.Our goal is to use PEGS in food packaging to reduce unnecessary food waste."The authors hope that PEGS could have applications beyond food processing,like sensing chemicals in agriculture,air quality,and detecting disease markers in breath like those involved in kidney disease.28.What is the function of PEGS according to the text?A.To improve the service of stores.B.To help supermarkets store foods.C.To improve the taste of food products.D.To help people test food freshness.29.What role does the smartphone play while PEGS are functioning?A. It acts as an electronic nose.B.It reads the data collected by PEGS.C.It discovers the spoilage gases from foods.D.It helps print the gas sensors onto paper.30.What does Dr Firat Guder say about use-by dates?A. They are not completely reliable.B.They can help reduce food waste.C.They are not accepted by consumers.D.They are based on scientific research.31.What does the author mainly talk about in the text?A.The process of researching spoilage sensors.B.A new technology in packaging to reduce food waste.e-by dates 'influence on supermarkets and consumers.D.The application of spoilage sensors beyond food processing.DMuazzez Kocek,46,is considered one of the best whistlers in Kuskoy,a village in Turkey's northern Giresun province.Her whistle can be heard over the area's vast tea fields.When President ofTurkey visited Kusköy in 2012,she greeted him and proudly whistled,"Welcome to our village!"She uses kus dili,or"bird language".For hundreds of years,this whistled form of communication has been critical for farming in this place,allowing complex conversations over long distances and makinganimal herding(放牧）easier to do.However,because of the increased use of cellphones,the language isat risk of dying out.Turkey is one of a handful of countries in the world where whistling languages exist.They attractlinguistic(语言学的）experts very much.There is a long-held belief that language interpretation occurs mostly in the left hemisphere(大脑半球），and tunes and singing on the right.But a study conducted in Kuskoy suggests that whistling language is processed in both hemispheres.Organ Civelek,37,who can whistle in full sentences,explained that they are very proud of their linguistic custom and want to share it with visitors.Since 1997,Kuskoy village has been hosting an annual Bird Language,Culture and Art Festival,where the community gathers to practice and compete.While technology is contributing to the language's disappearance,it is also being used by some to preserve it.Mr.Civelek,who teaches bird language to children during the summer,uses an application called"Islik Dili Sozlugu,"or whistling language dictionary.＂You can lose or break a phone,but as long as you can breathe,you can whistle," said Mr.Civelek."It's a communication tool that you can bring with you anywhere."32.Before cellphones,what did Turkish farmers mainly use kus dili to do?A.Talk with wild birds.B.Greet respectable guests.C.Speak with people far away.D.Warn farm animals of risks.33.What might be concluded based on the study conducted in Kuskoy?A.The right hemisphere interprets sounds.B.Whistling language isn't unique to Turkey.C.Brain structures processing language aren't fixed.D.The left hemisphere helps us understand conversations.34.Which of the following can best convey Mr.Civelek's opinion on technology?A.Misfortunes never come alone.B.Every coin has two sides.C.A good beginning makes a good ending.D.All things are difficult before they are easy.35.What is main idea of the text?A.People in Turkey whistle more and talk less.B.You may lose a phone,but never a tradition.C.People in Turkey keep a language of whistles alive.D.Cellphones can connect you to the world,but not a heart.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

George Nakashima always insisted that he was a simple woodworker, not an artist． Even though major museums exhibited his works and the director of the American Craft Museum called him a national treasure, Mr Nakashima rejected the label of artist． For almost fifty years he simply went on shaping wood into beautiful chairs, tables, and cabinets．Nakashima had a clear goal． He intended each piece of furniture he made to be as perfect as possible． Even making a box was an act of creation, because it produced an object that had never existed before． Initially Nakashima used local wood, sometimes from his own property． Later, he traveled to seek out English oak, Persian walnut, African zebra wood and Indian teak． He especially liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was taken down． Nakashima felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again．Most furniture makers prefer perfect boards, but Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with interesting knots（节疤）and cracks． These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that the tree had lived a happy life．He never failed to create an object that was both useful and beautiful． One early piece Nakashima designed was a three﹣legged chair for his small daughter Mira, to use when she sat at the table for meals． The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high versions． Another famous piece, the Conoid chair, has two legs supported by bladelike feet． Always, Nakashima's designs were precise andgraceful, marked by a simplicity that revealed his love for the wood．As the years passed, Nakashima's reputation grew and his work received many awards． His children Mira and Kevin, now adults, joined the team of crafts ﹣ people in their father's studio． Nakashima's dream of integrating work and family had come true．（1）Which of the following best describes Nakashima？________A Generous and outgoing．B Honest and simple．C Capable andfriendly． D Creative and modest．．（2）Why was Nakashima called a national treasure？________A His art work made trees live again．B He used precious wood materials．C His chairs were beautifully designed．D He was devoted to making furniture．．（3）What can we learn about Nakashima from the last two paragraphs？________A He loved his work and family．B He made chairs of the same style．C He sought for a simple life and art．D He was lost in researching the wood．．（4）What can be inferred about Mira and Kevin？________A They had an art studio of their own．B They still lacked the ability to create art works．C They had a common interest with their father．D They enjoyed the same reputation with their father．3. Before the end of the year, employees at Ubiquitous Energy, a company in Redwood City, Calif, will gather in a window-lined conference room to stare toward the future. That's because their new glass windows will offer more than an amazing view of the North California landscape. They will also be able to power the company's lights, computers and air conditioners.Several years in the making, Ubiquitous' energy-producing glass is a remarkable technological achievement. Its power lies in the layers of organic polymers （聚合物） between sheets of glass. As light enters the window, the flow of electrons between the polymer layers creates an electric current, which is then collected by tiny wires in the glass."It's sort of like a transparent computer display run in reverse （反过来）, " says Veeral Hardev, director of business development at Ubiquitous Energy. "Instead of electricity being shuttled to different points in a display to light them up, light is producing electricity to be shuttled out of different points in the window."Right now the windows produce about a third as much electricity from a given amount of sunlight as the typical solar cells used in roof panels（板）．These windows, about half as transparent as ordinary glass, don't work as well as transparent ones. Hardev says the company is likely to improve the transparency significantly. As for the lower output of electricity, he notes that windows can cover a much greater surface area than a roof, so numerous windows will produce a surprisingly larger amount of electricity than the production from a rooftop full of higher-efficiency solar panels. "You could do both." says Hardev. "But you'll get more from the windows. The biggest challenge, he adds, is increasing the windows from less than two square feet currently to about 50 square feet."（1）What makes the new glass windows special？________A They can offer an amazing view.B They are controlled bycomputers. C They can power the conference room. D They can help stare toward the future.．（2）What is Hardev trying to explain in Paragraph 3？________A The source of light.B The significance of different points.C The similarity of computer and glass.D The working principle of energy-producing glass.．（3）What can affect power production according to the passage？________A The transparency of the glass.B The quality of the rooftop.C The height of the solar panels.D The thickness of the glass.．（4）Which of the following is the best title for the passage？________A Windows： A New Challenge of TechnologyB Windows： No Longer Just for Letting in the LightC Power： A Pressing Problem in the NearFuture D Power： Not Enough from Rooftop Solar Panels．4. Tell a child they need to experience another painful medical procedure, and you'll probably have a kid filled with fear and anxiety． Tell that same child they'll have a chance to strike flying cheeseburgers in outer space while their doctor works on them, and they might feel a little different．That night﹣and﹣day difference in how kids respond to the treatment of their doctors is the reason for Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford's innovative use of virtual reality technology． Packard Children's lets kids participate in experiences that can significantly reduce their anxiety ﹣ and even their pain．This isn't the first time Packard Children's has introduced those innovative methods． In 2015, Thomas Caruso, M．D．, the founder of Packard Children's Childhood Anxiety Reduction through Innovation and Technology（CHARIOT） program, introduced the Bedside Entertainment and Relaxation Theater（BERT）．The system projects videos on a large screen attached to patients' gurneys（装有轮子的床） so they can watch movies and music videos all the way to the operating room． And in early 2017, CHARIOT launched an interactive video game called Sevo the Dragon, which projects on the BERT screen, so the tiniest patients have something fun to do while breathing medicine through a mask．"Children shouldn't grow up being afraid to go to the doctor to have a shot, but certain experiences can cause strong unreasonable fear that last into adulthood． Needle phobia （晕针） is a common example of that, and________is the primary reason adults avoid important immunizations（免疫） like flu shots．" Caruso told Stanford Medicine News Center．VR distraction therapy is being used for kids at Packard Children's as young as age 6 in specific areas like the emergency department, and the tool will be widely used in all of the Children's Health's surgery clinics by the end of 2020．（1）What is paragraph 1 mainly about？________A Doctors' favor of eating cheeseburgers．B Kids' fear and anxiety towards doctors．C Doctors' working on saving the children．D Kids' different reactions to medical treatment．．（2）What is the purpose of the CHARIOT program？________A To ease the patients' worries．B To introduce a new technology．C To help children to breathe medicine．D To show advertisements to the patients．．（3）What does the underlined word "it" refer to in paragraph 4？________A A kind of flu．B The fear of needle for no reason．C The immune system．D A kind of medicine for children．．（4）The VR therapy offers________ experiences to the patients．A disappointingB conventionalC relaxingD unreasonable．第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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．选项中有两项为多余选项．5. Being able to communicate effectively with others is an essential skill for people of all ages．（1）_______ People who want to develop those skills can learn how to do this from self ﹣help books， workshops， and from the advice of other people．（2）_______ Active listening involves a person listening carefully and attentively to the person speaking，restating what the other person has said ﹣ or what comes across ﹣ in a brief and nonjudgmental manner．（3）_______ Becoming effective at active listening is one way to increase trust and understanding in a relationship， whether it is a personal or professional one．Another tip to developing and improving interpersonal communication skills is to use feedback for different types of communication． Before giving speeches and presentations，it is always well advised to practice them before an audience and to ask for feedback before giving the real speech or presentation．（4）_______It also is essential in developing communication skills to use appropriate body language and eye contact．（5）_______ For example， using direct eye contact and body language that indicates openness， such as uncrossed arms， can help to get across that a person is ready and willing to listen and to speak openly．A． It is essential to learn how to communicate politely．B． These nonverbal signals can convey the true feelings．C． Most people can benefit from improving their communication skills．D． Being active listening doesn't mean people have to employ it continuously．E． This kind of listening focuses more on understanding than on giving advice．F． By doing so， we can ensure the messages are easily understood and come across as intended．G． One of the best tips for developing communication skills is to learn and practice effective listening．第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分15分）第一节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6.

I was born in 1898， the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn't spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old.Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can't read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.By 1928， I'd been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. "Elzenia," I said. "I don't want the kids to know I can't read or write."In 1938， one day my boss called me in. "George," he said. "No one knows those machines like you do. I'd like to promote you." But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, "Fill out this application and we'll get you a raise." I couldn't admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn't stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing.A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It's information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I'm 102． I thought of my friends and neighbours and what they might think if they found out I couldn't read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I've wanted to read. It was high time for action.注意：1．续写词数应为150左右：2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答．The young man drove me to a huge building and led me into a spacious classroom, which was crowded with elderly people like me. ___________I'm still going to school.____________2020-2021学年江苏省南通市某校高三（上）期初英语试卷答案1.

China Satellite Navigation OfficeBMove over, helicopter parents. “Snowplow (扫雪机) parents” are the newest reflection of an intensive (强化的) parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, texting their college kids to wake them up so they don’t sleep through a test, and even calling their kids’ employers.Helicopter parenting the practice of wandering anxiously near one’s children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century. Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their children’s path to success, so they don’t have to suffer failure, frustration (挫折) or lose opportunities.It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don’t ever meet with failure, but it’s not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting.

So it is necessary to learn how to determine whether the plants you find can be eaten safely.Avoid using this method without careful planning. Some plants can be deadly, and even if you follow these guidelines perfectly, there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill. Prepare yourself for wilderness outings by learning about the local plants, and carry a guidebook to help you identify plants. Even if you are unprepared and cannot find food you know to be safe, remember that, depending on your activity level, the human body can go for days without food, and you’re better off being hungry than being poisoned.Testing the plant in your mouth is dangerous, so go forward very slowly and carefully. First, hold a small portion of the prepared plant part against your lip for 3 minutes. Do not put the plant in your mouth. If you notice any burning, tingling (刺痛), or other reactions, discontinue testing. Second, place another small portion of the plant part on your tongue. Hold the plant on your tongue without chewing for 15 minutes. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Third, chew the plant and holdit in your mouth for 15 minutes. Chew the plant well, and do not swallow. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Fourth, swallow the small portion of the plant. Wait 8 hours. Do not eat or drink anything during this period except purified water. If you feel sick, immediately throw up what you eat and drink plenty of water. If activated charcoal (活性炭) is available, take that with the water.12. What’s the meaning of the underlined world “edible” in paragraph 1?A. Suitable for using as food.B. Widely spread.C.

Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help.

Do the names George Michael, Madonna and Michael Jackson sound familiar? Well, these are just some of the names that were well-known in the music scene of the 80s and early 90s. The 80s pop musicscene was an important step to the popularity (普及) of present-day music. A new wave in the music scene was introduced, which made such music styles as punk rock, rap music and the MTV popular. Although it was an end to the old 60s and 70s styles, it was also the beginning of something big. The popularity of music videos meant that artists now replaced their guitar-based music with visual displays. A new wave of artists came on the scene and the entire industry developed quickly.The most famous 80s pop music video is Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Introduced in 1982, few people can forget the video not only because of its never-be-foreseen images, but also because of the popularity it received. Think of how 80s pop music changed the lives of people who grew up in the 80s. Ask a young man today to tell you the names of the “New Kids on the Block” and he will start talking about the neighbor kids who just moved in. These are not the answers you might have heard in the 80s. Though today’s young men do not recognize how cool 80s pop music was, most people will always remember it for what it was and these are happy memories they will always love.Some of the 80s pop music legends (传奇人物) include Madonna, U2, AeroSmith and of course the King of Pop Michael Jackson. Let’s not forget Prince, Tina Turner, Phil Collins and Motown’s Lionel Ritchie. Some of these musicians played music that has stood the test of time. Undoubtedly, the 80s pop music scene will live on for many more years to come.4. What is the text mainly about?A. The characters of 80s pop music.B. What made 80s pop music popular.C. 80s pop music’s steps to popularity.D. The effects of 80s pop music.5. 80s pop music mainly includes the following styles EXCEPT ________.A. guitar-based musicB. the MTVC. rap musicD. punk rock6. Michael Jackson’s Thriller impressed people so deeply mainly because ________.A. it changed the lives of peopleB. he sang it in a special styleC. it was made into a music videoD. it left people with happy memories7. The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers that ________.A. 80s pop music is and will remain popularB. 80s pop music has many faultsC. 80s pop music is now out of dateD. we shouldn’t forget the great musicians of the 80sCDear Jack,I remember the moment— it truly hit me that your autism (自闭症) lasted forever. I had already mentally planned our trips up north with the boys. I was going to spend endless hours playing baseball with you— like Grandpa did with me.When we said goodbye to kindergarten I knew it was real. I spent some time being sad. Now you are 8. You still have no words. We have never had one of those father-son moments I pictured when you were a baby. But I'm learning that's OK. I still have unbelievable things to offer as your dad, even if they weren't the things I originally expected.You have taught me to be patient. You have taught me that it's OK to be different and to be sad when life doesn't go as planned. You have taught me that it is OK to talk about those feelings and fight for what is right. Stand up and say this is wrong, and encourage others to stand up for you and say the same.My job on this earth is to create a world for you and other kids like you. Be the voice you don't have, and build the kind of community which I want to see you grow up in. I used to shy away from contacting people with disabilities or just not consider them. Before you were born, I was so caught up in my own world that I probably wouldn't have even noticed. Now, I see things differently. I notice. You did that for me. And hope my example will do that for others.Your mom and I have spent 8 years trying to find your voice. And honestly, we don't know if we ever will. I promise you I will spend my life keeping you safe and making this world better for you.8. To whom is the text written?A. The author's son.B. The author's wife.C. The author's father.D.

What’s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat skippers who have called it theLadiesBridge.During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor-force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25,000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out back-breaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the surge (激增) in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45-minute musical entitled “theSingingBridge”, which runs at Somerset House from Sept9th. to Sept25th. In late September, the “Light up the Ladies Bridge” event saw the National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections (投影片) of female construction workers working in construction during World War II.Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.12. Why do few people know about the builders ofWaterlooBridge?A. The records of their work have been lost.B. Female workers received little attention.C. The construction took place long ago.D. Few people know about the bridge.13. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A. There are less female workers inLondon.B.WaterlooBridgeis popular among artists.C. The story ofWaterlooBridgeis better known.D. Many works of art were created during World War II.14. Why didLondonwomen do the construction work?A. It was a tradition inLondon.B. They wanted to get a steady job.C. Mostmen had gone to the battlefield.D. The company offered them better pay.15. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Female Workers on the RiseB.
