第I卷（选择题）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A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AWe’ve considered several ways of paying to cut in line: hiring line standers, buying tickets from scalpers , or purchasing line cutting privileges directly from, say, an airline or an amusement park. Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue (waiting your turn) with the morals of the market (paying a price for faster service).Markets and queues—paying and waiting—are two different ways of allocating things, and each is appropriate to different activities. The morals of the queue, “First come, first served,” have an egalitarian(平等主义的) appeal. They tell us to ignore privilege, power, and deep pockets.The principle seems right on play grounds and at bus stops. But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions. If I put my house up for sale, I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along, si mply because it’s the first. Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities, properly governed by different standards.Sometimes standards change, and it is unclear which principle should apply. Think of the recorded message you hear, played over and over, as you wait on hold when calling your bank: “Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.” Thisis essential for the morals of the queue. It’s as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness.But don’t take the recorded message too seriously. Today, some people’s calls are answered faster than others. Call center technology enables companies to“score” incoming calls and to give faster service to those that come from rich places. You might call this telephonic queue jumping.Of course, markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things. Some goods we distribute by merit, others by need, still others by chance. However, the tendency of markets to replace queues, and other non-market ways of allocating goodsis so common in modern life that we scarcely notice it anymore. It is striking that most of the paid queue-jumping schemes we’ve considered—at airports and amusement parks, in call centers, doctors offices, and national parks—are recent developments, scarcely imaginable three decades ago. The disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concern, but these are not the only places that markets have entered.1.According to the author, which of the following seems governed by the principle“First come,first served”?A. Taking buses.B. Buying houses.C. Flying with an airline.D. Visiting amusement parks.2.The example of the recorded message in Paragraphs 4 and 5 illustratesA. the necessity of patience in queuingB. the advantage of modern technologyC. the uncertainty of allocation principleD. the fairness of telephonic services3.The passage is meant to __________________________.A. justify paying for faster servicesB. discuss the morals of allocating thingsC. analyze the reason for standing in lineD. criticize the behavior ofqueue jumpingBNo one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus on doing one specific job.Let’s take a man we’ll call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didn’t make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁), or any of other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get people’s attention.A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today’s world.4. What probably led to the start of advertisement?A. The discovery of iron.B. The specialization of labor.C. The appearance of new jobs.D. The development of farming techniques.5. To advertise his plows, Mr. Plowright __________.A. praised his plows in publicB. placed a sign outside the shopC. hung an arrow pointing to the shopD. showed his products to the customers6. The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order to __________.A. explain the origin of advertisingB. predict the future of advertisingC. expose problems in advertisingD. provide suggestions for advertising7. In ancient Egypt, a crier was probably someone who __________.A. owned a shipB. had the loudest voiceC. ran a shop selling goods to farmersD. functioned like today’s TV or radio commercial8. The last two paragraphs are mainly about __________.A. the history of advertisingB. the benefits of advertisingC. the early forms of advertisingD. the basic design of advertisingCGenetically Modified (GM) food is unfortunately becoming more popular among farmers and food processors. Crops are being genetically modified to resist insects, plant diseases, insecticides(杀虫剂). Plants are also modified to look bigger and better. Unfortunately the end goal isn’t providing nutrition for people, it’s to increase profit margins and to make food look better. In fact many modern fruits and vegetables are twice the size of what they used to be while having far less vitamins, and not tasting good either. Now research is showing that genetically modified food might even be bad for you.GM organisms are organisms that have genes inserted into their DNA in order to offer certain characteristics. In this way you can make it better, or make it last longer.Jeffrey M. Smith has published a study about the dangers of GM food. It was discovered that when GM soy was fed to female rats they found that all their young died within 3 weeks compared to a natural 10% death rate. Their young were also born smaller and they later had problems becoming pregnant. A study of pigs found that they also became infertile(不育) after eating GM corn.Many people are eating GM food without even realizing it. The solution to this problem is simple. Human beings existed in their current form for hundreds of thousands of years. For most of that time we ate a diet consisting of meat, fruit, vegetable, fish, eggs and nuts. This is our optimal diet which leads us to live a healthy and long life. But over the last 30 years North America has experienced diabetes, cancer and heart disease. All due to the misinformation provided by groups who work on behalf of the manufacturers of GM food. The way to avoid obesity, heart disease and cancer is by eating like our stone-age ancestors.9. According to the author, what ultimately inspired the popularity of GM crops?A. Rich nutrition.B. Unique taste.C. High profits.D. Energy saving10. What had we better do if we want to stay healthy according to the text?A. Eat more fruit.B. Be vegetarians.C. Eat more grains.D. Keep traditional diet.11. The text is organized in the form of ________.A. time and eventsB. cause and effectC. reasoning and argumentD. contrast and comparison12. We can infer that the lobby groups (in Paragraph 4) are people who are ______.A. scientists who give out false information because of carelessnessB. doctors who try to profit from patients who suffer from unhealthy foodC. workers who try to cheat customers for the benefits of food producersD. agricultural technicians who are responsible for promoting new productDThey may be teenagers,but 17-year-old Brittany Bull and 16-year-old Sesam Mngqengqiswa have grand ambitions—to launch Africa’s first private satellite into space.They are part of a team of high school girls from Cape Town,South Africa,who have designed and built equipment for a satellite that will orbit over the earth’s poles scanning Africa’s surface.Once in space,the satellite will collect information on agriculture,and food security within the ing the data,“we can try to determine and predict the problems Africa will be facing in the future”,explains Bull,a student at Pelican Park High School.“Wh ere our food is growing,where we can plant more trees and vegetation and also how we can monitor remote areas,”she says.“We have a lot of forest fires and floods but we don’t always get out there in time.”Information received twice a day will go towards disaster prevention.It’s part of a project by South Africa’s Meta Economic Development Organization(MEDO) working with Morehead State University in the US.The girls (14 in total) are being trained by satellite engineers from Cape Peninsula University of Technology,in an effort to encourage more African women into STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics).Scheduled to launch in May 2017,if successful,it will make MEDO the first private company in Africa to build a satellite and send it into orbit.Mngqengqiswa comes from a single parent household. Her mother is a domestic worker.By becoming a space engineer or astronaut,the teenager hopes to make her mother proud.“Discovering space and seeing the Earth’s atmosphere,it’s not something many black Africans have been able to do,or get the opportunity to look at.I want to see and experience these things for myself,”says Mngqengqiswa.Her team mate Bull agrees,“I want to show to fellow girls that we don’t need to sit around or limit ourselves.Any career is possible—even aerospace.”13.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. Information provided by the satellite.B. The benefits brought by the satellite.C. Problems African agriculture faces.D. The way the satellite collects information.14.Why are the experts teaching the girls satellite technology?A. To turn them into good farmers.B. To help African women to live better.C. To train employees for a private company.D. To attract more African women to sci-tech fields.15.What do you think of the girls in the text?A. Ambitious and pioneering.B. Generous and considerate.C. Independent and modest.D. Brave and tolerant.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。

2019高三英语9月月考试题第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节：阅读理解（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中，选出最佳选项。
AWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”1. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. great and important; commonB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingD. hopeful and helpful; careless2. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use3. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.C. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.BIt was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor.On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life." At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave."As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher.It obviously isn't the money.Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change.He was working at Nintendo Corporation.His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade.With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired.I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework.She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class — not about math, but about life — would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication （奉献） and a deeper sense of satisfaction — I will always be grateful that I ama teacher.5.Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, the author .A.quite agreed with his colleagueB.thought it very funnyC.was very puzzledD.was very sad.6.The computer science student called up the author because he .A.wanted to inform the author of his present jobB.tried to persuade the author to work withhimC.wanted the author to share his joy and satisfactionD.thought the author wasn't fit to be ateacher7.The underlined part blue hats and gowns refers to .A.university colleaguesB.life memoriesC.graduates' clothesD.decorations in thehall8.The author wrote this passage to .A.express his devotion to being a teacherpare two different graduation ceremoniesC.talk about the meaning of graduationD.give advice on how to be a good teacherCIf you want to get something done, you might want to put your mobile phone back in your pocket. Researchers have found that the mere presence of a phone is distracting(分心) — even if it is not your own. And the devices(设备) are likely to distract you, even if they are not ringing or “pinging” with text messages. People asked to carry out electronic tests of their attention spans (持续时间) were found to perform worse when a mobile phone was present than other people performing in the presence of a paper notepad.Scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan said that their findings show that it is harder to concentrate when one of the electronic devices is present. The effect was most marked on people who are not regular users of phones. In tests on 40 undergraduates, Associate Professor Junichiro Kawahara and a colleague divided the subjects into two groups — one asked to carry out tests in the presence of an Apple iPhone next to a computer monitor, and the other in the presence of a notebook.The test involved asking the participant to search for a particular character among a mess of other characters on the screen. Researchers measured the time it took to find the target. The results of the experiment found that those with the mobile phone took longer to find the character “indicating that participants were automatically distracted by the presence of the phone”. The researchers suggest that people are “drawn to the presence of a mobile phone” although there are individual differences in how one attempts to ignore it. In conclusion, Professor Kawahara said, “The mere presence of a mobile phone was a di straction among infrequent internet users.”Another finding is that listening to one half of a mobile phone conversation also distracts people, and other studies have found that placing a mobile phone in view has a negative impact on the quality of face-to-face communications. Holding a mobile phone makes you less likely to get a fair hearing fromothers.9. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A mobile phone won’t distract people unless it’s ringing.B.

It’s ready to work.Other countries’ laborers aren’t as cheap as theyused to be, which makes Vietnam a relative bargain for companies that need new factories abroad.However, the country has almost no railroads, its highways are in poor condition, and its largest city has just one airport, which was built before the Vietnam War.So what’s the use of producing expor t－ready goods if there’s no convenient way to ship them? The good thing is, however, officials are widening highways, building a new airport and so on.CHILE (智利)Pipes, computers, motors, and your microwave all have one thing in common: They’re made with copper (铜).Copper makes the world go round.And lucky for Chile, it’s got about a third of the planet’s copper supply.It just needs a way to dig it up and the government is pouring money into the country’s mines.13.Which country will Nigeria be expected to follow in respect of economy by 2050?A.Kuwait.B.Iraq.C.Turkey.D.Italy.14.What’s the problem Vietnam is facing?A.It doesn’t have money to build new factories.B.Its people don’t have enough food to eat.C.It is suffering from the Vietnam War.D.Its transport system is very poor.15.What will Chile depend on to get developed?A.High tech.B.Natural resources.C.Investments from other countries.D.The government’s good administration.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world. ___16___“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”.
