重庆市南开中学2023-2024学年高三上学期开学英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Unique Birthday TraditionsThe editors of our international editions share traditions reserved for counting yourself one year older.Lithuania“In my native country, it is customary for the birthday person to sit in a decorated chair and to be lifted up by the party guests,” says editor Eva Mackevic. “How many times the chair is raised will correspond with his or her age.”JapanIn Japan, when a child turns one, a ceremony called erabitori is held, where the birthday child chooses from a selection of items spread out around that represent the potential future. When a person turns 20, a coming-of-age celebration will be held on the second Monday anuary.The NetherlandsWhen someone turns 50, a large doll will be placed in the birthday person’s garden or by heir front door; men have an “Abraham” doll, women a “Sarah”, based on a Bible passage.AustraliaA child’s first birthday is often celebrated with balloons and specially made “fairy bread”. Some families in Australia also mark the age of 21 with a souvenir “key to the door”, representing the young adult’s privilege to come and go from the family home as they please.Germany“In Germany, when unmarried men turn thirty, they are supposed to sweep the stairs of the local church or town hall,” editor Michael Kallinger says, “while women have to deal with the door handle.” This public act is meant to embarrass the person and motivate them to marry.1.Which is part of a one-year-old boy’s birthday celebration in Japan?A.Predicting the boy’s future.B.Deciding the boy’s career.C.Seeking items at the birthday party.D.Holding a coming-of-age ceremony. 2.What does the “key to the door” symbolize-in Australia?A.Love from parents.B.Time to move out.C.End of the 21st birthday.D.Recognition of independence.3.In which country could a birthday tradition involve cleaning in public places?A.Germany.B.Australia.C.Lithuania.D.The Netherlands.For most of the year, Embleton Bay is almost deserted, a magical curve of sand on edge of the world. This is where the pupils of Embleton Primary School, a beach school, a very Friday——to learn.Nicola Threlfall, head teacher of the school, says that teachers employ a range teaching methods to realize teaching objectives, from more traditional written work to teach paths in the sand with sticks, covering diverse topics.Sometimes the environment itself works wonder. Nicola explains there are huge benefits to giving children the opportunity to just “be”. Watching the waves, lying on the sand feeling the wind and sun on their faces, or rolling down sand dunes are all an essential part of the beach- school experience, enabling children, to explore, test their own limits and understand their place in their environment.Online resources are provided, too, in terms of engaging children and fostering an interest in beaches. During lockdown, the students enjoyed a virtual online lecture with the Rock Pool Project, a social group that encourages people of all ages to discover marine life.During the winter months, sand blows in ripples across the beach under the biting north winds. How do the children cope with the difficult weather? Nicola says they like to get the kids out on the beach in all weather. If it’s raining, they head to the bird hide; when it’s cold, the kids warm up by doing more physical activities. On warmer days, they sit on picnic tables outside to enjoy their lunch.The beach is within walking distance of the school gates but the one kilometre down the hill-and another one back up still proves challenging for little legs. Nicola confirms that noticeable improvement in the children’s endurance and fitness level is one of the main advantages.Embleton Primary School is demonstrating how successful outdoor learning can be. Can more school modify The curriculum to include regular time outside for their students ? 4.How does the school carry out outdoor learning?A.By giving lectures regularly.B.By integrating diverse approaches.C.By inspiring students to write more.D.By centering on environmental issues.5.What do teachers do in tough winter days?A.Shorten beach hours.B.Adjust student activities.C.Postpone outdoor events.D.Change teaching objectives.6.How does the author find the beach lessons?A.Fully-researched.B.Widely-provided.C.Confidence-boosting.D.Character-building.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Start from Beach B.Live with Sea lifeC.Enjoy Beach Activities D.Reform Future EducationA recent New York Times opinion piece by Daniel Willingham addressed the question of whether listening to a book is the same as reading it. Willingham begins the piece with a frequently asked question—Is it cheating if I listen to an audiobook for my book club?Willingham argues that they’re both worthwhile but is careful to note that doesn’t mean they have the same value. In line with his points in the article, I listen to audiobooks when I wouldn’t otherwise be engaged in a book—say, at the gym or while walking. That’s certainly an advantage of listening over reading. But I was surprised to find that Willingham didn’t mention what I consider to be the biggest difference between the two: Engagement.The critical difference, for me, between reading and listening is that reading is something you do, while listening is something that happens to you. Reading is an act of engagement. The words on the page aren’t going to read themselves, which is something they literally do in an audiobook. If you’re not actively taking in written information, then you’re not going to make progress on the book. Audiobooks, on the other hand, make progress with or without your participation.Willingham refers to this point by saying that harder books—“difficult texts” as he calls them—require more engagement, which is thus better suited to reading. Yet it’s not necessarily true. For example, I’ve recently been listening to David Graeber’s excellent Debt: The First5000 Years, a tough read with lots of information and arguments. While I haven’tWithout having to physically invade the targets’ heads, the approach is an important step in advancing torpor toward human use, says Michael Ambler, a researcher and, lecturer studying torpor at the University of Bristol in England. Some earlier efforts relied on injecting a gene into the targeted-brain-region-to-assist-in-producing a torpor-like state with light or drugs. Such invasive approaches are unlikely to gain approval for human use, Ambler says, making the new study “an extremely interesting piece of work.”If this noninvasive approach were to become possible in humans, one potential use would be to buy heart attack patients time in transport to the hospital. In the ICU, torpor could also be applied before drugs and monitoring are involved in patient care. This study even presents a very first step toward the potential to support human’s long lonely journeys in space.Yet before that possibility takes flight in the future, research on a familiar species must come first. Ambler says the next step should be testing in larger, nonhuman animals, probably pigs. “They are most like humans—hairless and similar to humans in terms of body temperature,” he says. “It’s a step-by-step process, from mice to rats to pigs to monkeys and then, hopefully, eventually to humans”—and then, perhaps, beyond the bounds of planet Earth.12.What does the underlined word “torpor” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Having much energy.B.Being not active.C.Requiring little sleep.D.Decreasing in size.13.How is the ultrasound approach different from earlier ones?A.It avoids cutting into the body.B.It targets directly at the brain.C.It proves effective for human use.D.It goes together with light or drugs.14.What is a possible application of the research?A.Monitoring ICU patients.B.Curing heart attack victims.C.Stabilizing body temperature.D.Supporting long space travels.15.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.Promotion of the technique.B.Significance of the findings.C.Focus of the follow-up research.D.Review of the experiment process.二、七选五F.Sweat sends a powerful signal to mosquitoes too.G.This mix of chemicals is likely to draw mosquitoes.三、完形填空26.A.overjoyed B.embarrassed C.ashamed D.panicked 27.A.temper B.balance C.heart D.interest 28.A.block B.guide C.find D.push 29.A.pleasing B.rescuing C.guarding D.encouraging 30.A.anxious B.excited C.frustrated D.confident 31.A.sorrow B.relief C.satisfaction D.desperation 32.A.rest B.walk C.cookie D.prize 33.A.loosened B.squeezed C.took D.rubbed 34.A.unlocked B.broken C.open D.shut 35.A.promised B.selected C.hand-made D.newly-bought五、建议信46.假定你是李华,你的外国留学生朋友James想在中国进行社会实践,现有如下两种选择:博物馆讲解员或乡村中学志愿者。

They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they pursue meaningful achievements.A study on "slash youth"published in the China Youth Research magazine analyzes the background of this phenomenon: with part of modern society's structured organization and stability norms are broken, flexible labor markets and structural unemployment has emerged, eliminating the sense of job security of the young people in employment. Young people also face the dilemma of self-actualization, including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in the profession.. which forces them to re-find the meaning of work."The‘slash life'shows that our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive,and it welcomes everyone's self fulfillment," said Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher fromTianjin Academy of Social Sciences. The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the"slash life"of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy, just as animation culture affected the market.8.Which is true about the. slash youth?A.Tending to pursue meaningful achievements.B.Enjoying posting themselves on social media.C.Adjusting themselves to challenges in life.D.Refusing to undertake multiple careers.9.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The significance of flexible labor markets.B.Reasons for the appearance of slash youth.C.Young people's interest in their profession.D.Causes of losing power among the youth.10.What does Shi Yanrong think of the slash life?A.It can gain people's independence.B.It inspires young people's creativity.C.It can pick up an economic growth.D.It enables young people to earn high.11.What is the purpose of the text?A.To provide latest career guidance.B.To introduce a social phenomenon.C.To analyze a new cultural difference.D.To highlight a unique life experience.阅读理解A study published in the journal Nature Geoscience last week revealed soil samples collected by China's Chang'e-5 lunar probe contained impact glass beads(珠子) that held water in the form of hydroxyl(氢), a molecule consisting of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom. Hydroxyl ion is one of the most common ions found in water.These glass beads are created when meteoroids(流星体) hit the moon's surface, throwing up hot molten droplets which then cool and turn solid. They function like a sponge, soaking up hydrogen atoms carried by the solar wind to form hydroxyl, thus playing a key role in the water cycle of the lunar surface.While each be ad only holds a tiny amount of water, these glass balls are so ubiquitous on the moon researchers estimated lunar soils could store as much as 270 billion metric tons of water. For decades, scientists thought the moon was bone dry until discoveries in recent years revealed its soil could hold water."The moon potentially holding 270 billion metric tons of water is quite substantial, though it pales in comparison to the amount of water in the Earth's oceans," said Hu Sen, a researcher from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.These findings not only provide insight on the origins, storage, and transportation of water on celestial(天空的)bodies without atmospheres, but they also may prove helpful for planning and building a sustainable human habitat on these planets, he added.12.What do glass beads on the moon's surface function?A.As a sponge taking in hydrogen atoms.B.As meteoroids hitting the moon's surface.C.As hydroxyl beneath the lunar surface.D.As a source of energy for water cycle.13.What does the underlined word"ubiquitous"mean in paragraph.3?A.Rare.B.Common.C.Obvious.D.Energetic.14.What could be the potential sources of water on the lunar surface?A.Water from Earth.B.Water from the sun.C.Water from the stars.D.Water from meteoroids.15.What's the best title of this passage?A.The Key Role of Hydroxyl in LunarB.New Discoveries based on Moon'sC.Glass Beads Found on Moon's SurfaceD.Scientists Discover Water Reservoir二、第一部分阅读理解,第二节任务型阅读(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。

重庆市南开中学校2022-2023学年高三上学期质量检测(五)英语试题第I卷(选择题)一、阅读理解(本大题共16小题,共37.5分)AHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments - mostly for entertainment purposes - is fair and respectfulZoo officials say they are concerned about animals.However,most zoos remain "collections" of interesting "things" rather than protective habitats.Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored,lonely,and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species,but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals' natural behavior,intelligence,or beauty.Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages,and most signs only mention the species' name,diet,and natural range.The animals' normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don't usually take care of the animals' natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces,with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise.This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis (动物精神病).A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages.Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars,and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth,a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore,most animals in zoos are not endangered.Captive breeding of endangered big cats,Asian elephants,and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild.Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out.In fact,baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers.Haven't we seen enough competitions to name baby animalsActually,we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them.Instead of supporting zoos,we should support groups that work to protect animals' natural habitats.1. How would the author describe the animals' life in zoos?______A. Dangerous.B. Unhappy.C. Natural.D. Easy.2. In the state of zoochosis,animals ______ .A. remain in cagesB. behave strangelyC. attack other animalsD. enjoy moving around3. What does the author try to argue in the passage?______A. Zoos are not worth the public support.B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.4. Although the author argues against zoos,he would still agree that ______ .A. zoos have to keep animals in small cagesB. most animals in zoos are endangered speciesC. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosD. it's acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsBMy first goal:try not to look so scared.It sounds easy,but it actually took quite a few tries before I could relax from the mouth open,eyes wide expression that being on roller skates gave me.But not looking scared was something I knew I could achieve and helped me stick with the painfully embarrassing and exciting process of trying to learn to roller skate.I picked up roller skating at the end of 2021.I have thrown myself into this hobby wholeheartedly,in a way that surprises me sometimes.It feels a lot like love.That said,it did take me a while to get comfortable on skates,and as an adult,I'm not used to feeling that awkward in my body.I got really familiar with picking myself off the floor.I skated a few times as a kid,but never enough to get good.So starting as a grown-up,with grown-up knees,I was very careful.I signed up for online classes.In skate class,they taught me to wear protective gear(用具),to clap when someone falls,and to encourage them.Falling means you're trying,and everyone falls in skating.That possible danger almost makes it more fun,the little thrill of possibility that you might fall,a likelihood when you first start out that gradually decreases the more you practice— but never to zero. I've been skating for almost a year now,and I don't look so scared on wheels anymore.I've made a lot of progress.The other day I joyfully skated past an older woman on the rink and she said,almost under her breath,"My goal is to skate like you."I tried to contain my pride."Keep at it!"I yelled over my shoulder.A few minutes later,I ,fell,quickly picked myself up,and then kept at it.5. How did the author feel when she roller skated at first?______A. Surprised.B. Confident.C. Scared.D. Relaxed.6. What makes roller skating feel like love?______A. You get familiar with it.B. It takes a while to get comfortable.C. It makes you feel awkward.D. You throw yourself into it wholeheartedly.7. What did the author learn from skate class______A. Encourage people when they fall.B. Keep practicing and you will not fall.C. Falling makes people make fun of you.D. Be careful before you sign up for any classes.8. Which of the following can replace"tripped"in the last paragraph?______A. made a trip.B. moved fast.C. lost my balance.D. kept skating.CPolitician George Osborne's plans to introduce a national minimum wage have been praised by the government. But the benefits will not be felt by all. We have spoken to some people who fear the change could actually make their working life worse.Robin, 28:" The minimum wage means I will no longer get overtime. "Life on low wage is a struggle. I can't afford new clothing or shoes. And I don't have a social life outside of work. Once I've paid my rent and other bills, I'm left little.The minimum wage isn't going to help. It just means I no longer get overtime,which I depend on to afford to live a normal life. As I work in retail, overtime isn't always guaranteed. But because of the pay increase, there hasn't been any offered.Dave, 40:"I want to pay staff more but it's impossible."I want to explain the trouble faced by fruit and vegetable farmers who want to pay the minimum wage. I already pay the new minimum wage but have been told by customers that prices will not increase. A result could be the further development of rural land ownership and large farming companies in place of the remaining family farmers. Paying the minimum wage will reduce my income and job security.Daisy, 52:"_______"I've earned the new minimum wage. I've been working for a pet supplier store for two years. I've worked lots of overtime there and this has enabled me to pay my share of bills. The higher minimum wage means no any overtime for staff. The company has stated clearly that it cannot afford to increase wages,so workload will now be within contracted hours only.9. What pressure is Robin confronted with______A. Getting a pay rise.B. Working overtime.C. Changing a better job.D. Living on a tight budget.10. According to Dave, what's the consequence of paying the minimum wage?______A. Family farming's decline.B. Employees' losing job security.C. Farmers' refusing to pay the wages.D. Customers' complaint of price increase.11. Which will be the most suitable sentence to fill in the blank?______A. To pay more we have to reduce working hours.B. It is a struggle to manage a store on the increased cost.C. I will have to do the same work with less time.D. I can't get the pay rise as I am going to retire in a few years.12. What is the interviewees' attitude to the new national minimum wage?______A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Indifferent.D. Ambiguous.DThis year's hottest destination is Mars. On 23 July, China launched the Tianwen-1 mission to the Red Planet - one of three spacecrafts' planning to head there in 2020. This is China's second interplanetary mission,but the first that the nation has launched on its own. The other, Phobos-Grunt, was a cooperation with Russia that didn't make it out of Earth's orbit after blasting off in 2011.The new mission, called Tianwen, translated as "questions to heaven" - consists of an orbiter, a lander and a rover, the last of which will be named via a public competition. "It's very ambitious because it's afour-part mission:there's the launch, getting into orbit, the landing and the rover,and every single step has to go right," says space consultant Laura Forczyk. All those steps must work on the first try, an achievement no other space program me has accomplished on a Mars mission because of the difficulty of landing there.If all goes well, Tianwen-1 will arrive at Mars in February 2021 and the lander and rover will touch down two or three months later. They will take pictures from the surface, measure the soil composition, make radar observations of the planet's underground structure and observe Mars's magnetic field. Due to the harsh environment on Mars, the rover is expected to last about 90 Martian days. It weighs around 240 kilograms,about the same as China's Yutu-2 rover, which is currently roaming the moon. "The Chinese mission to the far side of the moon has been hugely successful, so they are building on that success now," says Forczyk.The orbiter, which will relay data from the lander and rover back to scientists on Earth, also carries a suite of scientific instruments. It has two cameras and a spectrometer(光谱仪),which it will use to create a map of the mineral composition of Mars's surface, as well as radar and detectors to examine particles in the Martian atmosphere. It will also look for deposits of water ice that could be helpful for future explorers. Tianwen-1 won't be alone in Mars orbit. The United Arab Emirates has just launched its first mission to Mars, and NASA's Perseverance rover is set to launch on 30 July. These missions are all leaving now because Mars is at its closest point to Earth, which happens once every two years.13. Which statement is true according to the first two paragraphs______A. On 23 July, three countries launched space crafts to Mars.B. Every step of Tianwen mission can be completed at several attempts.C. The mission, Phobos-Grunt, cooperated with Russia was a great success.D. Tianwen mission shows the pioneering efforts of China's space exploration.14. What does the underlined word in Para. 3 mean?______A. Travelling around.B. Floating past.C. Wandering aimlessly.D. Moving swiftly.15. The orbiter will do the following tasks except ______A. act as a detector to examine particles on the earthB. search for a substance useful for future explorationC. send information back to the earth collected from MarsD. identify the position of minerals possibly lying on Mars16. What will be the best title for this text?______A. China's Successful Space ExplorationsB. China Launching Missions to MarsC. Tianwen, the First Interplanetary MissionD. Mars, the Hottest Destination to Explore二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)"I wonder by my troth, what thou and I did, till we loved?" 1 hose are the first words of a poem by John Donne that I learned at school - and I still know the whole thing today. It's just one of many poems I've stored in my memory, ready to recite and relish whenever I please.It seems that poetry learning has gone out of fashion, but I'm still a fan because it doesn't just breed a lifelong love of poetry. (1)______ So why not dig out a poem you love and use it to exercise and enrich your recallStep 1. Know that poems are designed to stick in your mind. (2)______ See how they leave you with memory-arousing images and how they surprise you by breaking the rules, and control your senses and emotions. These are all great ways to make information more memorable.Step 2.(3)______ When you're learning a poem, try linking the last word of one line to the first word of the next. In my John Donne poem, one line ends with "see",and the next starts with "which",so I pictured a "sea witch". Making links like these can also help with learning names, and many other kinds of information.Step 3. Put in a performance. When you're practising a poem, read it aloud, as dramatically and emotionally as you can. (4)______ .Step 4. Enjoy yourself. Learning poems gives your memory a workout,which improves your mood and gets you into good learning habits. So reap the rewards! Have fun putting rhymes into your shopping list, using rhythm to learn names, or "performing" revision notes before an exam.(5)______ And, in the process, you'll be making your memory stronger for everything.A. Learn through links since memory relies on connections.B. It also boosts confidence and builds lasting memory skills.C. So identify the tricks poets use - rhythm, rhyme and repetition.D. Thus, short poems are good options because they are easily memorized.E. Follow these steps to appreciate poems and enjoy them wherever you are.F. Memory experts believe poetry learning can even cultivate an interest in study.G. Adding gestures and moving around the room can also strengthen your learning.17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G21. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G.

重庆市南开中学高2024届高三第七次质量检测英语,In the bustling city of Chongqing, nestled among the rolling hills and the convergence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers, lies Nankai High School. This prestigious institution is known for its rigorous academic environment and its commitment to excellence. As the senior class of 2024 approaches the end of their high school journey, they are met with one of their final challenges: the seventh quality assessment test in English.The importance of this examination cannot be overstated. It serves as a culmination of years of study, a testament to the students' dedication, and a crucial stepping stone to their future academic endeavors. The test is designed to evaluate not only their grasp of the English language but also their ability to think critically, articulate thoughts clearly, and express ideas creatively.The assessment encompasses a wide range of skills. Students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in grammar, vocabulary, and syntax. They are tasked with reading comprehension exercises that require a deep understanding of the text, as well as writing assignments that call for original thought and a strong command of the written word.One of the key components of the test is the essay section. Here, students must weave together narratives or arguments that are coherent, engaging, and reflective of their own perspectives. They must navigate the nuances of the English language, employing a variety of sentence structures and a rich lexicon to convey their messages effectively.The preparation for this assessment is intense. Students engage in countless hours of study, participating in practice exams, peer review sessions, and workshops. Teachers provide invaluable support, offering guidance and feedback to help each student reach their potential.As the day of the test arrives, the atmosphere within Nankai High School is one of focused determination. Students enter the examination halls armed with knowledge and the support of their teachers and peers. The silence that falls over the room as the papers are distributed is punctuated only by the scratching of pens on paper.The results of this assessment will soon reveal the fruits of their labor. For many, it will be a moment of triumph, a validation of their hard work. For others, it may serve as a learning experience, an opportunity to identify areas for improvement.Beyond the scores and the immediate outcomes, the seventh quality assessment test in English represents something greater. It is a reflection of the school's commitment to fostering a love for learning and a proficiency in English that will serve its students well beyond the walls of Nankai High School.As the students of the 2024 class move forward, they carry with them the skills and knowledge they have honed. They step into the future ready to face new challenges, to engage with the world, and to make their mark. And it all begins with the turning of a page, the start of an exam, and the belief that education is the key to unlocking their full potential. 。

TransportSubway:Line 5,6,7,A,B,C and D.Bus:Line M1,M2,M3,M4 and M10.Nearby placesMetropolitan Museum of Art (447 m) Guggenheim Museum (564 m)American Museum of Natural History (688 m) Whitney Museum of American Art (1 km)The Frick Collection (1.3 km)(1)What can we learn about the Central Park from the text?A.It is home to lakes and waterfalls.B.It is perfect for doing outdoor sports.C.It is the largest city park in the world.D.It is the most famous symbol of New York.(2)Which one of the following things is free?A.Hiring a bicycle.B.Entrance to Central Park.C.Visiting Central Park Zoo.D.Going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.(3)Where can we find this text?A.In a science report.B.In a geography book.C.In a fashion magazine.D.In a travel guide.12.(8分)Peter Damon produces about 30 paintings a year and sells them for between US $250 and U S $1,500.That's not enough to make ends meet,but it has made him whole again.He lost both arms in a n accident."Having this skill that even normal people find difficult was something that really helped me and made me feel like I fit in more in the world," Damon said.He was a worker in a car factory.One day when he was working,there was a gas explosion(爆炸),killin g one worker and injuring him."I lost my right arm above the elbow,about three inches above the elbow,and my left about six inches b elow," he explained."How am I going to make a living and take care of my family?I had always worked with my hands," he sai d.Then with a simple little drawing,a new future opened up for him."I thought it was wonderful in a way," Damon said. "Something was telling me to focus on this and ever ything will be alright." Damon doesn't have a perfect prosthetic arm (假肢)- just a hook (钩子),which h e finds works best.He and his wife Jen run True Grit Art Gallery in Middleboro,Massachusetts,where he shows the works of local artists.With his disability check from the government,he can afford to be an artist.He is a man doing what he wants with his life,and doesn't look at his situation as a hard time."I don't see it that way," Damon said. "Suffering an injury like this has a way of making you focus on wh at's important in life."He believes his best work is still ahead of him.But with his pictures of simple American scenes,Damon ha s already produced his best work.(1)How did Damon lose his arms?A.A gas explosion injured his arms.B.He was attacked when he was driving a car.C.His arms were trapped by a worker by accident.D.He was knocked down by a car when he was working.(2)What do we know about Peter Damon when he started taking up painting from the text?A.His hope for life was brought back.B.He felt a lot of pressure at the beginning.C.He didn't earn enough to support his family.D.His paintings were so expensive that few people wanted to buy them.(3)What is Damon's attitude towards his suffering?A.Wonderful.B.Positive.C.Pitiful.D.Uncertain.(4)What is the main idea of the passage?A.Winners do what losers don't want to do.B.Nothing is impossible if you try your best.C.God closes a door and another will open for you.D.Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.13.(8分)Ask any new college graduate about his immediate goals, and it is likely that he will tell you he wants a job. But it turns out that today's students are not going to be satisfied with any job. According t o the latest survey, making a difference through their work is essential (必要的) to young people's happine ss.The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive soci al influence through their work is essential to their happiness. Making a difference is so important to them t hat 45 percent say they would take a 15-percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or enviro nmental influence, and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values a re the same as their own.Besides this, the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first plac e than their male classmates, echoing the results of a former study showing that female maths and science majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference.One reason for the emphasis (强调) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleg es, which encourages students to connect their studies back to real-world problems. Students are used to discussing important social issues (问题) with their friends and professors, and doing something about t hem in class or through volunteer activities. Once students develop those habits, they don't shut them off when graduation rolls around.(1)What does the underlined word "echoing" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Learning.B. Repeating.C. Believing.D. Creating.(2)What is one of the reasons for the emphasis on students wanting to improve the world?A. The habits students develop in society.B. The appearance of important social issues.C. The encouragement of the culture of colleges.D. The effect parents' education has on their children.(3)What can you learn from the passage?A. Young people will surely gain happiness if they can make a difference in their work.B. Less than half of the college seniors will take a pay cut to work with the same values.C. Most college graduates believe it important to have a positive social influence in work.D. Female graduates are all putting more social influence in first place than male graduates.(4)Which could be the best title for the passage?A. Female Students Are Concerned about SocietyB. Young People's Happiness Doesn't Depend on MoneyC. Graduates Become More Interested in Challenging JobsD. Many Graduates Would Take a Pay Cut to Make a Difference14.(8分)Did you ever have to say "no" to somebody?Such as a classmate who asks to go to lunch with yo u?New research suggests that,at least socially,a rejection (拒绝) should not include an apology.In othe r words,saying you are sorry does not make the person being rejected feel any better.In fact,it might mak e the rejected person feel worse.That is surprising.Many people consider it to be good manners to say the y are sorry when they turn down a request.Gili Freedman is doing some related research at Dartmouth College.For her research,she asked over 1,000 people to respond to different examples of social rejection.In one example,the researchers asked people for their reaction (反应) after a person named Taylor asked to join a co-worker who went out to lunch eve ry Friday.And Taylor was told "no".But in some cases,the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology.In o ther cases,the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry.People were asked how they would fe el if they were being turned down,just as Taylor was.Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.Freedman said the reason is that apologies make people feel like they need to say that the rejection was o kay - even when they felt like it was not okay.Rejection without an apology lets them express their feelings of disappointment,hurt or anger more easily.Freedman also said that an apology often makes the perso n doing the rejection feel better --even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.Her research deals only with social communication.A business situation might be very different. "If a ma nager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job," Fre edman said, "reactions to apologies may be different."(1)Why do people say they are sorry when they express rejection?A.Because they think it is more polite.B.Because they think it helps them express their dislike better.C.Because they think apologies are the basis of communication.D.Because they think it sounds more comfortable for the listener.(2)In Gili Freedman's research,over 1,000 people.A.rejected others without an apologyB.offered an apology when rejecting othersC.would be more hurt by a rejection with an apologyD.were asked to answer the question in different situations(3)What role does an apology play in rejection?A.It makes the rejection more acceptable.B.It makes a good impression on the listener.C.It makes the communication more pleasant.D.It makes the person doing the rejecting feel better.(4)What will be mentioned next according to the last paragraph?A.The effect of an apology during a rejection.B.Gili Freedman's research on business situations.C.A rejection with an apology in a business situation.D.The difference between a social situation and a business one.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 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.15.(10分)Do you have a place you've always wanted to visit?If the answer is yes,have you ever considered taking a trip alone there just for a few days?(1)Although seeing the world on their own has always been a dream in their hearts since childhoo d,most people have repeatedly been told that the outside world is dangerous.The thought of going on a tri p alone excites and terrifies them at the same time.Few end up stepping out of their comfort zone and going on meaningful adventures.It is normal to have some trouble traveling alone.(2)For example,being alone on the road,yo u might have to ask strangers to take your photo wherever you go.If you join a tour halfway,you may be as ked why you don't have friends or family around.(3)First,traveling alone gives you a good opportunity to do everything you wish to do without worrying abo ut others' needs and wants.If you want,you can read on a bench beside a river for the whole afternoon wit hout being disturbed (打扰).You are free to walk around on different streets.(4)You can also remo ve that dull daily routine (常规) that always makes you feel tired.If you make good use of it,traveling alone can also be a wonderful journey of self-discovery,as you'll fin ally have time to think about your life.(5)All you need to do is pack your bags,take your passport,gather up your courage and go some where.Go out and enjoy being alone,explore the unknown,make some friends,read a book,and get to k now more about yourself and the world.A.Traveling by yourself is also quite easy.B.You can go to shopping malls and explore the city.C.For many people,traveling alone can be frightening.D.There are also some unpleasant moments one might run into.E.It is important to take some time off and think about the methods.F.But anyhow,I still suggest that you travel alone at least once in your life.G.Traveling alone helps us figure out what we really want to fight for in this big world.第三部分完形填空阅读下面短文,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.16.(30分)It happened when our grandchild,Anne,was three years old.My husband,Paul,asked her if t here was anything she wanted to plant in our garden.She had an answer -

Dazed with sleep, he saw stars flashing across the heavens.“What is it?”the child whispered.“Shooting stars. They come every year in August.”Decades have passed, b ut I remember that night still, because Iwas the fortunate boy whose father believed a new experience was more importa nt than an unbroken night's sleep.Some parents like my father have the gift of opening doors for their children. This art of adding dimensions to a chi ld brings the reward: the marvelous moment when the spark bursts into a flame that will burn brightly on its own one da y. At a Golf Association tournament, a ten-year-old girl played creditably.“How long have you been interested in golf?” someone英语试题第 4 页(共 12 页)asked.“I got it for my ninth birthday,”she said.“ Your father gave you a set of clubs?”“No,” she said, “he gave me gol f.”I have a friend, a psychiatrist, who says there are two types of people: those who think of life as a privilege and t hose who think of it as a problem. The first type is enthusiastic and energetic. The other type is suspicious and self-cen tered. And he adds, “Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type you are likely to be.”The real purpose, then, of trying to open doors for children is to build eager and outgoing attitudes, which is the most valuable legacy we can pass on to the next generation. But why don't we work harder at it? Probably because som etimes we don't have the awareness or the selflessness or the energy. And yet, for those of us who care what becomes o f our children, the challenge is always there but the opportuniti es also come repeatedly. Many years have passed since that night.And next year, when August comes with its shooting stars, my son will be seven.24. Why does the author mention the girl in Paragraph 2?A.

Parenting styles requires professional guidance.C. Childhood experience determines adult happiness.D. One's personality is related to childhood experiences.27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The author is always addicted to shooting stars.B. It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to motivate kids.C. The author will go to see shooting stars with his son.D. It is impossible to unlock kids' potential without eagerness.英语试题第 5 页(共12页)CIf someone asked whether you like the arts, you'd probably say you do—at least in theory. According to a s urvey, more than two-thirds of U. S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences.” However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively cre ated art of any kind.The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leavin g our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but ev en before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever,saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play.Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake.The arts are the oppo site of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meanin g of life. If you make time for consuming and producing art—the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments—I assure you that you'll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness as you emerged from a narrow side stree t in an unfamiliar city and found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy.They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.If you are among the people who feel that art is pure pleasure to experience and participate in, you might s ee it as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat art less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exerc ise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave art into you r everyday life.28. What prevents people from enjoying the arts?A. Shortage of time.B. Avoidance of duty.C.

Connecting with Art: From Reality to FantasyDBiodegradable(可降解的) food packaging is designed to detect to what degree the food has gone bad by ch anging its color. Best-before labels are often poor predictors of when food becomes dangerous to eat, which can le ad to waste and food poisoning, says Benedetto Marelli at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. So he and h is colleagues tried to create the package that can react to changes in food.They made four films(膜) similar to plastic package, each consisting of two layers. One layer was made fro m a protein extracted from silkworm silk, while the other was made of one of four so-called covalent organic fram eworks (COFs). These materials contain carbon and hydrogen, as well as atoms like oxygen or nitrogen, all arrang ed in a network that allows air and water to go through easily.After checking the films were non-toxic and strong, the researchers tried to compost(堆肥处理) them. For t he best performing film,50per cent of it degraded after being placed in soil for 30 days, which is comparable to ex isting biodegradable plastics.The material also changed colour when immersed in water with different pH values, due to the COF layer's interaction with the liquid. Because the pH of food increases as it spoils, the researchers tried to use a piece of the film as a colour-changing label attached to a packet of raw chicken. The label started off orange but turned yellow and got 17 percent lighter after 20hours at 30℃, indicating that the meat had begun to spoil. The researchers also loaded the英语试题第 7页(共12页)COF layer with a chemical. After 15 days, so ya beans packaged in the film and left in high heat and humidity went bad, but only a third as much as beans wrapped in traditional plastic.“For a successful market entry, the material will need to be affordable and easy to produce. The standard for competing with plastic production is very high.” says Marelli.32. Why did Marelli decide to create the package?A. To improve the biodegradability of food.B. To compete with plastic for market share.C. To make a breakthrough in biotechnology.D. To tackle food waste and enhance food safety.33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The functions of films.B. The categories of films.C. The application of films.D. The composition of films.34. What is the feature of the film?A. It prevents food from spoiling.B. It shows sensitivity to chemicals.C. It has incomparable biodegradability.D. It is unaffected by unfavorable conditions.35. What is Marelli's attitude towards the prospect of the film?A. Realistic.B. Hopeless.C. Optimistic.D. Indifferent.第二节(共5 小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
