安徽省合肥一六八中学2024-2025学年高三上学期10月段考英语试卷一、阅读理解Pottery (陶艺) ClassesWheel Throwing Taster$89.00Get down and dirty with us. This is the class everyone thinks about when they hear pottery class,but we promise there won’t be an awkward moment in sight. This class is ideal for folks with zero experience who want to try the wheel to see if they like it before taking on a four-week class to learn the tricks.Nerikomi$130.00So you’ve worked with clay, but you’re looking to learn more techniques and you are curious about decoration and patterns in clay. Then this class is for you! This 2.5-hour class will guide you through the process of Nerikomi: a decorative technique established in Japan that involves stacking (堆叠) coloured clay and slicing through the cross section to reveal a pattern.Sculpt Your Own Pet$130.00Develop your pottery skills with resident artist Ginny Lagos in this two-and-a-half-hour session! You’ll be guided to sculpt your very own clay creature creation, to look just like your favourite animal. Just bring along some pictures of your pet. The more, the better and we’ll show you how to turn a blob of (一团) clay into your best animal friend.Kirinuki$130.00If you’ve dabbled (涉足) in clay, but you’d like to learn something unique, join us! Unlike most other techniques in clay, Kirinuki starts with a solid block of clay, which is then hollowed out (挖空), and carved. You’re left with containers that have a very strong connection to the earth that they originate from.1．Which class targets pottery beginners?A．Nerikomi.B．Kirinuki.C．Wheel Throwing Taster.D．Sculpt Your Own Pet.2．What will students learn in the Nerikomi class?A．A pottery decorating technique.B．A wheel throwing method.C．A pottery colouring way.D．A clay carving skill.3．Which activity will the Kirinuki class offer?A．Stacking coloured clay.B．Making a clay earth model.C．Creating animal clay figures.D．Sculpting containers from clay blocks.It is a story which began in 2009 in the remote valleys of Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) Huon Peninsula and is being heard around Caffe Vita’s stores in Seattle, Los Angeles and New York City, USA．Here,500g bags of this high-quality coffee are available for purchase, alongside freshly made cups for in-store enjoyment.The limited harvest is grown under native shade at elevations (海拔) ranging from 1200 to 1500 metres by farmers who have committed to conserving 180,000 acres (英亩) of land for the preservation of Matschie’s tree kangaroos. And according to Caffe Vita, it is the story behind the coffee as much as the quality of the product that attracts customers.Deforestation to make way for rice farming,combined with over-hunting, was threatening the only tree-living kangaroo. Thus in consultation with communities of Yopno, Uruwa, and Som (YUS), Woodland Park Zoo helped create PNG’s first conservation area.This was a significant achievement given that 95%of PNG land is owned by local people and the 15,000-strong population of the YUS region was geographically separated. Out of these strictures arose the opportunity to make use of existing skill sets in agriculture for communities to develop in harmony with national policy.Setting aside land to grow high value coffee was so appealing that some people walked for two days to participate in the consultation meetings.Karau Kuna from the Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program (TKCP) explained“in reality, all the planning was done by the people; we the facilitators just introduced the concept and provided the technical support” .But going beyond coffee growing was key to the project’s longevity. Community members also learned about processing and will eventually take on marketing the product to new and existing buyers. As with any new project there are challenges, but Lisa Dabek, Director of the TKCP, is confident. She explains“the coffee project continues to grow and strengthen despite the challenge of transport in this remote region.SOS (Save Our Species) funding has allowed us to provide further technical assistance for the coffee project while it is still at a critical stage” . 4．For what reason do the buyers purchase the PNG coffee?A．Its rarity.B．Its cheap price.C．Its convenience.D．Its ecological background.5．What does the underlined word“strictures”in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Advantages.B．Restrictions.C．Disagreements.D．Flexibilities. 6．What is local people’s attitude toward the coffee project?A．Unclear.B．Dismissive.C．Approving.D．Doubtful. 7．What can we infer about the coffee project from the last paragraph?A．It is in urgent need of funding.B．It is progressing despite difficulties.C．It has achieved the expected victory.D．It has improved local transportation.Picture this: you are running late to drop your kids off at school in the morning. On top of this, it is pouring rain outside. While you are driving down the highway, another car cuts you off. You begin to think they must be a rude person who is also a terrible driver. A couple of minutes later, you, yourself accidentally cut off someone. You inform yourself your action is a result of the fact that you are late for your child’s drop-off and you cannot see well because of the rain. Why is it that we automatically assume others’ negative actions are a result of who they are as a person while giving ourselves excuses? The actor-observer bias (偏差) is an explanation for this confusing phenomenon.When you explain someone’s behavior based on internal factors, like assuming the person who cuts you off is a rude person, but attributing (把……归因于) your own behavior to external situational factors, you are engaging in the actor-observer bias.So why does the actor-observer effect occur? The general explanation is that it occurs as a defense mechanism for maintaining high personal dignity. We would rather believe that our faults come from factors we cannot control because then we cannot change them and it is easier for us to accept the outcome.The actor-observer bias is the cause of many arguments between the actor and the observer as a result of a misunderstanding of the effect of external and internal factors. How can we stop thinking this way and become more sympathetic to the people around us? This is where it gets tricky because the observer’s internal attributions are an automatic process which means they occur almost immediately and unconsciously (无意识地).In order to become more sympathetic towards surrounding people in situations, we must make the attributions a controlled process. A controlled process is when the observer purposely focuses attention on something and is consciously aware of the process,unlike an automatic process. Knowing what the actor-observer effect is and how it can influence your own attributions is a good step toward becoming more sympathetic and kinder to people you interact with. 8．How would we define the other driver’s behavior in Paragraph 1?A．An emotional outburst.B．A display of bad manners.C．A moment of carelessness.D．An unavoidable circumstance.9．Why do we fall for the actor-observer bias?A．To safeguard our self-image.B．To avoid arguments with others.C．To promote sympathy towards others.D．To ensure fairness in interpersonal interactions.10．How might an observer be more considerate to an actor’s actions?A．By focusing on the situational factors.B．By making the attribution process automatic.C．By attributing these actions to internal factors.D．By imagining themselves in the same situations.11．What is the best title for the text?A．Why we repeat our mistakesB．How we can stop blaming othersC．What is the science of social justiceD．Why we always ignore our own faultsSolar power is helping bring about a future of cleaner energy, but there are limits to where rigid solar panels (刚性太阳能电池板)can go. A new kind of solar cell made with a mineral called perovskite (钙钛矿)can go almost anywhere, says physicist Olga Malinkiewicz. We can use perovskite cells on the surfaces of the building, on the roofs of the buildings, on the roofs of the cars and on the electronic devices. We can use it on the sails. We can use it in the balls, tents and unlimited applications. Malinkiewicz says perovskite has become a favorite among solar panel researchers. Because it can be printed, everyone can use it on every surface.Malinkiewicz developed a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer. She co-founded a company to produce them, called Soleil Technologies, after the Baltic sun goddess. Construction company Skanska is testing the panels at their Warsaw headquarters. Adam Targowski is sustainable (可持续的)development manager for Skanska. They work perfectly, even when they are not well exposed to sunlight. So we can use them in all surfaces of the building. Soleil calculates that about one square meter of panel can supply a day’s worth of power for one worker’s computer and lights. And they keep getting better as research continues, says the company’s scientific director Konrad Wojciechowski.For other technologies, it took decades to really enter markets. Perovskite has been around only for few years in scientific research, so there is still a lot to be done, but potential is basically pretty much unlimited, I think. There are still durability and other problems to work out, but several companies expect to have perovskite panels on the market this year.12．What do we know about perovskite solar cell from the first paragraph?A．It’s delicate.B．It’s complex.C．It’s flexible.D．It’s expensive. 13．What does the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?A．Skanska and Adam Targowski.B．Malinkiewicz and Skanska.C．Soleil Technologies.D．Perovskite panels.14．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．It needs years to put perovskite panels into markets.B．Scientists think perovskite panels are ready for markets.C．Perovskite has been studied for decades.D．Perovskite panels will soon be seen in the market.15．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To explain how to use perovskite panels.B．To introduce perovskite panels.C．To advertise a new solar power cell.D．To propose scientists to further study perovskiet cells.Attitudes toward small talk can vary, but there are a few reasons why some people may dislike small talk.16 People who value deep connections may find small talk insufficient for building meaningful relationships. But it needn’t be. If the goal is to use small talk to deepen connections with others, consider the kind of information you are sharing. Communication research differentiates three levels of conversation: factual, personal, and relational.At the most superficial level of conversation, we share facts. We talk about things and their place in time and space, exchange news and facts, and report on our experiences factually and objectively (e.g., “It was warm outside today.” “I work as a computer analyst.”). Almost all these are factual information. 17The next is the personal level, where we talk about how we feel about the content at the informational level. (e.g., “I loved the warm weather today.” “ 18 ”). The personal level is defined by sharing emotions about something or someone beyond the current time and space. Sharing from the personal level invites the other person to connect with you at this deeper level.19 Think: What’s happening now? How am I feeling at this moment? How do you feel being here with me? When we bring our attention to the present moment, we often experience greater engagement and connection with others. 20 This brings our attention to the many aspects of our present-moment experience and lets another person into our inner world.You can get a sense of how the experience of intimate (亲密的) connection with another deepens as we move through the levels.A．I just came from London.B．I find my work rewarding.C．It has nothing to do with oversharing.D．It can be quite useful, but it lacks emotional content.E．Small talk is often seen as shallow and lacking depth.F．One way we can do this is to start sentences with “I notice...”.G．The relational level involves sharing in the present moment and space.二、完形填空When I was young, my family had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I used to listen with 21 when my mother talked to the old case 22 to the wall.Then I discovered that inside the wonderful 23 lived an amazing person — Information Please, who could 24 anybody’s number.My first personal 25 with this genie (精灵) -in-the-bottle came one day.

And anyone who isn't living can’t have the job.”The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do with only $10 inhis pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than twohours, he had 20 dollars. He repeated the operation three times, started to goearly every day, and returned home late. Shortly, he bought a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles (运货车队). Five years later, the manwas one of the biggest food retailers (零售商) in the US．One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail. He said, “I haven't got one.” His friend couldn't believe his ears. “ Can you imagine what you couldhave been if you had an e-mail?”　The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I would have been an office boy at Microsoft!”1.What did the man do for the test?A．He sent e-mails．B．He did thecleaning． C．He sold computers．D．Hefilled in forms．2.The man was refused to get the job because he． A．disliked such a jobB．didn't pass the test C．didn't have an e-mailD．knew nothing about computers 3．The manafter he left Microsoft．A．went to look for another job B．asked for food from door to doorC．thought of an idea to make money D．bought a computer and got an e-mail4．What does the story want to tell us?A．Computers are very important in our dailylife． B．Everyone can make a lot of money with only$10． C．The HR manager didn't find the ability of theman．D．Nothing in the world is impossible if we workhard． BMost people may not think that there are any problems with watermelons（西瓜），but some Japanese sellers do．There is often wasted space when they store watermelons, because round watermelons do not sit nicely on shelves． But some clever farmers have solved the watermelon problem．They make their watermelonsgrow in square glass boxes with four feet so the watermelons become square rather than round．The only problem now is the price．The square watermelons cost about 80 dollars each．Many people know the saying, “Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you．”Well, today the poem needs to be changed to “Roses are red, roses are blue!” Australian scientists have just recently discovered that when they put a chemical from a blue flower into a rose, they can create a nearly100 blue rose．Some of scientific inventions are beautiful, not just useful!Since the mid-1990s, many Chinese farmers have had wonderful rice harvests.

This deterioration can take different forms, one of which is the non-standard use of the words. Below I give some of the commonways to show how Chinese environment badly influences the native speaker’s language ability.。
