2021年高三上学期9月质量检测考试英语试题含答案第一部分阅读理解(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，从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C 和 D)中，选出最佳选项。

AUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving (铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not e from lakes or rivers. It es from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to bee groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages (短缺)．Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts (干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher (洗碗机) only when it is full. Help your parents fix anyleaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.1．Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater? A. Using river water. B. Paving parking lots.C. Throwing batteries away.D. Throwing rubbish into lakes. 2．What can be inferred from the text?A．It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.B．All water shortages are due to human behavior.C．There is much we can do to reduce family size.D．The average family in America makes proper use of water.3．The last paragraph is intended to ________.A. show us how to fix leaks at homeB. tell us how to run a dishwasherC. suggest what we do to save water at homeD. prove what drinking glass is best for us4．The text is mainly about ________.A. why paving roads reduces our waterB. how human activity affects our water supplyC. why droughts occur more in dry climatesD. how much we depend on water to liveBThere are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking intoa neighborhood store to look at its announcement board . Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or，job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by panies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects，meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example，students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course，looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example，there is a book called "What Color is Your Parachute（降落伞）？”by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career（职业）since it was first published in 1970．Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan ler owns a panycalled California Career Services in Los Angeles．She says her pany helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.5. What is the passage mainly about？A. Finding a job.B. College students' part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site.D. The relation between study and work6. By logging on the Craigslist Web site，you can ．A. sell your old thingsB. do some shopping onlineC. create your own announcement boardD. get useful information about 450 cities7. “What Color is Your Parachute?”is a book which gives tips to those who want to .A. work on the airplaneB. buy a parachuteC. publish a bookD. find a suitable job8. How many ways of finding a job are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.CTeenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet as young adults.A study，which included nearly 1，400 high school students，found those who watched TV for five hours or more per day had less healthy diets than peers(同龄人）five years later. Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?On the one hand，people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers，may snack more，and that may affect their long-term diet quality.On the other hand，TV ads for fast food，sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.Lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson，of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis，told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food , those who'd watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake(吸收)of fruits，vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion，parentsshould limit and monitor TV viewing.As far as I am concerned，children should watch no more than two hours of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right，being physically active and curbing their own TV time.9. What's the best title for this passage?A. People should keep away from TV to keep healthy.B. Teenagers' TV time may affect their diets later.C. Why do teenagers like TV"D. Parents' own habits may affect children later.10.

I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying “Take the extra minute to do it right.〞I always try to live by the “extra minute〞 rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only〞 moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) ontothe sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don’t only avoid those “i f only〞moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only〞 in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you〞 or “I forgive you.〞 When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up a n opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only〞 about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.25. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute〞 rule?A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.D. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.26.The underlined word “foregone〞 in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______. .A. abandonedB. avoidedC. lackedD. taken27. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to .A. join in the holiday celebration of the companyB. keep her appointment with the eye doctorC. finish her work before the deadline approachedD. meet her father who was already an old man28. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Two Saddest WordsB. The Most Useful RuleC. The Peace of MindD. The Emotional Well-beingCMelinda Skaar wasn't expecting any phone calls. Skaar was working late in her office at the First Internet bank of California. By 10:45 that night she was almost ready to go home when the phone rang. Picking it up, she heard a guard shouting, “There is a fire! Get out of there.〞 Skaar didn't panic. She figured that it was just a small fire. Her office building was huge. There were 62 floors and her desk was on the 37th floor. Skaar called out to office mate Stephen Oksas, who also stayed late to work. But when they got out to the hallway, they were met by a cloud of black smoke. Rushing back, Skaar shut the door and filled the space at the bottom of the door with her jacket to keep the smoke out.Then they called 911. Before they could call their families, however, the line went dead. That meant that they were completely cut off from the outside world. All they could do was wait and hope someone would come to rescue them.Minutes ticked by. Smoke began to float into the office. Soon it became hard for them to breathe. Looking around, Skaar noticed a small workroom.It seemed to have cleaner air. So they crowded there. That helped for a while, but in time even the workroom was filled with deadly smoke. Hopeless, they tried to break the windows, but the glass was not breakable. Everything they threw at it just bounced back. Defeated, they struggled back to the workroom.They felt weak and dizzy. Soon Skaar found Oksas had passed out.As Skaar and Oksas lay near death, rescuers were rushing to find them. At last, at about 4 a.m., firefighters found them.Skaar and Oksas knew they were lucky to be alive. Sunday is my birthday, Skaar told a reporter.

Tori Nelson got the idea after noticing that Matthew Finney, a shy boy from her homeroom at Winlock Miller Elementary School in Washington state, was standing outside his classroom crying and wearing a winter hat.Ms. Nelson could see the back of his neck had been shaved, and since Matthew usually had very thick brown curly hair, she realized that he’d had a haircut over the weekend. She asked him what was wrong, and he said he’d gotten a buzz cut for the summer. But this morning, a fift h grader on the bus made fun of him, and he didn’t want to come to class and get teased by other kids. Ms Nelson tried to convince Matthew to come inside, but since school rules prohibit kids from wearing hats indoors he refused –explaining that he was afraid of showing his haircut to the other children in case they also made fun of him.Finally I said: “If you take off your hat and come to class, I’ll let you give me a buzz cut ,too,"' Ms Nelson told Yahoo Parenting.'I figured it’s just hair,and mine is already short anyway. I might as well get it shorter in time for the warm weather.'Matthew excitedly took her up on the offer, and Ms Nelson and another teacher gathered all the fourth graders together during break time. A school employee brought in scissors, which Matthew used to the cheers of his classmates, excitedly watching as his teacher’s hair fell away onto the ground in the schoolyard.'It was a lot of fun for the kids, and it helped Matthew feel better about himself,' said Ms Nelson.'You have to do what it takes to reach children. Teaching isn’t just about reading and writing, it’s about self-esteem and accepting differences.'32.What mainly led to Matthew’s standing outside the classroom?A. His fear of being laughed atB. His willingness to learnC. His violating school rulesD. His not finishing his homework.33. Why did Ms. Nelson have her head shaved?A. To show sympathy for Matthew.B. To comfort and encourage Matthew.C. To prepare for the warm weather.D. To show her unique personality.34. What is Ms Nelson like?A. responsile and caringB. knowledgeable and creativeC. Humorous and easygoingD. Strong and determined35. What is the best title for the passage?A. The real meaning of teachingB. Stand up to school bullyingC. Teach kids to respect differencesD.

Email is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new tool. The average business person is getting about 80 emails per day and many feel that about 80% of the messages in their box are of little or no value.So, I have four suggestions to help you to bee better at “Erasing Email”1. get off the lists. The best way to deal with a problem is to never have it. If you are receiving a lot of unwanted emails, ask to be removed from the various lists. This would include your inclusion in unwanted lists.2. “unlisted address”. Just as you keep an unlisted telephone number that you share only with those whom you want to have direct access to , you might want to get a separate email address only for the important munications you wish to receive.3. check it once or twice per day. Many I speak with are being chained to their email server, monitoring ining email continuously. Maybe this is because email creates its own sense of urgency, but most of the munications are not all that urgent. I respond to them a couple of times per day.4. deal with it. As you open each email, do one of the following:a. if it requires a quick response, respond to it and delete it.b. if it requires a response but is not the best use of your time, try to find someone else to do it.c. if it is going to take any serious amount of time to respond, schedule it for action in your day planner and then download the message, save it, or print it out for future action.I personally receive about 250 emails per day and by practising the suggestions above, I can handle that volume in about an hour, taking advantage of this fantastic tool but not being controlled by it to make sure I’m doing more important tasks in my day.36. If you get unwanted emails, the best you can do is to_______.A. make a list of themB. put them into unwanted listsC. send them to a special addressD. ask to be deleted from different lists37. For the important munications, the writer suggests that you ______.A. have a direct access for themB. have several email servers for themC. get a separate email address for themD. get an unlisted phone number for them38. To avoid being chained by the ining emails, what you can do is to______.A. respond urgent ones onlyB. reply to all of them at the same timeC. handle them a couple of times dailyD. keep replying to emails all day long39. To deal with an email you get, you can do the following except_______.A. responding right away if it’s urgentB. downloading every email before you replyC. scheduling it for later reply if it takes much timeD. asking someone else to reply to it if it’s not at your convenienceBHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is mon for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face munication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it es to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that es from a deep respect for others’time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their panies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.40. The passage is mainly about ________.A. munication typesB. the workplace atmosphereC. customs and social mannersD. living conditions and standards41. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the first place.B. They dislike face-to-face munication.C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.42. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C. When attending a presentation.D.When dining with business partners.43. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C. In the United Arab Emirate.D. In Switzerland.CMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail(地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.

The research also showed that although social background has a noticeable effect on a child’s readiness for school, attending pre-school and having their parents teach them a wide range of activities have a positive effect---while extended exposure to television lowers their scores.“One message ing through loud and clear is that how a child learns in his very early years is critical (至关重要的) for a smooth transition into the educationa l system,” said Professor James Law. “This is a very positive message, as it gets us away from the belief that a child’s educational future is pre-determined by standard measures of socio-economic disadvantage, such as ine, housing, or the mother’s education.”Data from the study shows that children from a positive munication environment had a better expressive vocabulary by their second birthday. These children went on to achieve higher scores in language, reading and maths tests when they entered school. In the early years, the munication environment was a better predictor of children’s success with language than their general social background.Most children develop speech and language effortlessly, but some are slow to acquire these skills and go on to struggle with literacy (读写能力) and academic skills throughout their schooling. This project set out to uncover what factors contributed to these problems.Professor Sue Roulstone said, “These findings are an encouragement to all parents to provide a positive munication environment for their children from the very start of their lives. The project did identify particular aspects of the munication environment, such as having children’s books around and not having the television on too much. But the main message is that, as parents, we can have an impact on how our children learn to talk by providing a range of munication experiences. And the better our children are at talking by the age of two years, the better they will do when they start school.”48.
