四川省某重点中学2015届高三上学期第四次月考英语 Word版答案EAgainst the supposition (猜想)that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siber ia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest fires to li mit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scie ntists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over the next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space ten ds to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influen ce climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire s in north ern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone(臭氧)levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, t he land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because f ewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight ba ck into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in the amoun t of radi ation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, ho wever, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost fro m the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicted, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square mete r will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to m easure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.47. According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may __________.A. result in a warming climateB. cause the forest fires to occur more fre quentlyC. lead to a longer fire seasonD. protect the forests and the environment there48. Earlier studies about northern forest fires __________.A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climateB. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphereC. suggest that people should take measures to protect environmentD. suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming49. The und erlined phrase “soak up” in the last paragraph most probably mean s __________.A. releasedB. absorbedC. createdD. distributed50. From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may _____.A. warm the climate as the supposition goesB. allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climateC. destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea iceD. help to gain more energy rather than release more energy第二节补全对话(共5小题每小题2分,满分10分);根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

So I started to walk towards the garbage can when I 4 a poor man walking his bike out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He 5 over to another nearby garbage can and started6 it.I suddenly felt very 7 .I knew this man would take all he could get, 8 I walked up to him and 9 the drink and some snacks over to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles on his forehead, looked up in 10 and took what I gave him.A huge smile 11 across his face and this caused me to feel indescribable 12 . I felt like I couldn’t be 13 with myself, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some 14 food; this is my daughter’s 15 day!” 2 He thanked me 16 and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling a song as he rode away.I now 17 what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can 18 help and everyone will be helped by showing 19 .The image of that man’s happiness caused by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the 20 to do something nice.1.

A. chance B. desire C. purpose D. feelingBSometime, you are stuck in traffic, anxious about getting a job, or stressed about making a deadline at work. 21 as these situations are, they are also opportunities to 22 kindness and gratefulness. Responding gently and thankfully will not 23 make these situations go away, but it can help you be happier and 24 .As someone who travels as part of my work, I find that when I practice looking for 25 to be kind and grateful, travel is a much more 26 experience.The mental and physical 27 of kindness and gratitude are impressive. Such simple practices not only make you feel good, 28 they can also help protect your immune system, reduce stress and anxiety, strengthen self-control. That is, simple practice done regularly can 29 both your physiology and your outlook. It is more likely that you also view the future 30 .However, being kind and grateful is not a (an) 31 for working toward important goals, or dealing with challenge. Practicing kindness and appreciation is a way to 32 the quality of your experience and relationships while you are doing these things. 33 what your brain may tell you, your ability to be kind and grateful is not 34 upon either your circumstances or how you feel. 35 simply, kindness and gratitude are available to you whenever you choose to practice them.During your lifetime many things will happen. You will experience some of them as pleasant and comfortable and others as 36 and unwanted. You do not have control over the circumstances that life 37 , but you do have a choice about how you 38 to them. Reacting to whatever 39 up with kindness and gratitude is a powerful 40 , a choice supported by hundreds of scientific research studies and recommended in every enduring wisdom tradition for thousands of years. What will you choose?21. A. Unhappy B. Unfortunate C. Undesirable D. Incorrect22. A. practice B. acknowledge C. change D. distinguish23. A. eventually B. deliberately C. instantly D. necessarily24.

You can't be a positive person all of the time.How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, "Jerry, you have two choices today.You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood.Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it.I choose to learn from it.Every time someone comes to me complaining.I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life.I choose the positive side of life.The bottom line It's your choice how you live life." I reflected on what Jerry said.Later.I left the restaurant industry to start my own business.We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life.Several years later.I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers.While trying to open the safe, he forgot the password, nervous.The robbers panicked and shot him.Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital.After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care.Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments(碎片)of the bullets still in his body.I saw Jerry about six months after the accident.When I asked him how he was.he replied."The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied."Then, as I lay on the floor.I remembered that I had two choices I could choose to live.or I could choose to die.I chose to live." " Weren ' t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.Jerry continued, "The doctors and nurses were great.They kept telling me I was going to be fine.But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.I knew I needed to take action.""What did you do?" I asked."Well, there was a big.strong nurse shouting questions at me." said Jerry."She asked if I was allergic (过敏的)to anything."Yes.' I replied.The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.I took a deep breath and yelled, "Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them."I am choosing to live.Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'"Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.56.The author left Jerry's restaurant because he_____.A.wanted to start business on his ownB.was afraid of another robbery laterC.was not equal to the job any longerD.didn't get along well with others57.Why was Jerry shot?A.Because he left the back door open.B.Because he opened the safe too slowly.C.Because he pretended to forget the password.D.Because he didn't open the safe in time.58.What was Jerry really afraid in the emergency room?A.The doctors and nurses refused to save him.B.He decided to take action to live again.C.The doctors and nurses came with expressions of regret at his being shotD.He might not be saved by doctors and nurses.59.From the passage we can learn that Jerry _____.A.was no longer positive to his life after the operationB.was optimistic even when things were at their worstC.influenced all his colleagues in many waysD.was badly injured and stayed in hospital for six months60.Which of the following is conveyed in this article?A.Where there is life.there is hope.B.Everything comes to him who waits.C.Humor is the best medicine that creates miracle.D.Attitude determines everything.BAn old problem is getting new attention in the United State s—bullying.Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland.She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying.Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her.Officials have brought criminal charges against several teenagers.Judy Kaczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA.Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota.She said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child.She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends.And over a period of time her grades fell completely.She started having health issues.She couldn't sleep.She wasn't eating.She had terrible stomach pains.She started clenching(紧握,紧咬)her jaw and grinding her teeth at night.She didn't want to go to school."Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person.It can involve physical violence.Or it can be verba l—for example, insults or threats.Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying.And now there is cyberbullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages.It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time.The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s.The latest government study in the United States was released last year.It found that about one-third of students aged twelve to eighteen were bullied at school.Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network.She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need.She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves.61.From the case of Tina, we can know that _____.A.bullying is rare B.victims suffered a lotC.schools are to blame D.personalities are related 62.Which of the following is NOT bullying?A.To beat someone repeatedly.B.To call someone names.C.To isolate someone from friends.D.To refuse to help someone in need.63.Why is cyberbullying appealing to the bully?A.Because it can involve more people.B.Because it can create worse effects.C.Because it is more convenient.D.Because it can avoid cheating.64.According to Susan Sweater._____.A.bullies are anti-socialB.bullies should give victims helpC.students are not equally treatedD.bullies themselves also need help65.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Bullyin g—An Irish Girl Committed SuicideB.15-year-old Irish Girl Committed SuicideC.Cyberbullyin g—Taking Off in SchoolsD.How to Find Bullying among TeensC"The days when the management in Western companies presented gold watches to long-serving employees to thank them for loyal service is now just a memory." says the Educational and Training Support Agency.This new development in the shape and movement of the workforce throughout Western businesses is partly a result of the way that layers of middle management are being removed, leaving more workers responsible for their own development."Having workers take responsibility for their own development might be dramatic, but it is now the rule," says the Educational and Training Support Agency."Today, not only are workers more mobile, they have to run to keep up with changes." says the Government-founded agency."It is no longer enough for a worker to gain a set of skills.Workers need the ability to react and get used to changes." This new system is also being pushed along by the way that industry is looking to its workers to renew their own skills.In the United States, some companies have contracts (合同)which repair their employees to show regularly how they have their skills up to date.Contrary to this traditions of the past, employers in the West are now looking for autonomous learners as recruits, people who can develop their own continuing education beyond the school and university system.At the same time.businesses are developing the capacity for workers to take up autonomous learning on site in workplace, so that the skills and abilities of all workers in a business continue to improve and increase."This.of course," says business theory."will also improve the productivity (生产率)of the workers and therefore the profits of the company."66.The management in western companies no longer presents gold watches to their employees because _____.A.they are not loyal to companiesB.other rewards replace gold watchesC.the way prove to be a failureD.serving a company for life is rare now67.The western workforce frequently changes their jobs partly because _____.A.hopping from job to job has become a new trendB.employees are expecting to have more experiences in their lifeC.workers have to take more responsibility for themselvesD.it is easy to complete themselves by doing so68.The passage seems to suggest that the present situation in society requires that workers shouldA.show more loyalty to their companiesB.try to develop their skills to fit in with changesC.go to college to have their skills up to dateD.be quick in changing their careers if there is the possibility69.The phrase "autonomous learner" in the last paragraph means _____.A.people who have received higher educationB.people who study hard themselvesC.people who learn things very quicklyD.people who continue their study beyond regular education70.Companies require their employee's development mainly because _____.A.it will finally help to bring more profits to the companyB.it can attract more workers who pay special attention to self-developmentC.it is good for the employees to develop their skillsD.it will make workers more responsible and loyal to the companyPart Iv Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions Read.the following passage.Fill.in the numbered, blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Learning to improve your focus throughout the day can be a little difficult, only because we are talking about 18 to 24 hours, depending on the number of hours you sleep.However, if we break down your day into manageable time frames, it would make it much easier to learn to improve your focus.Focus, or concentration, is a skill that can be taught, so there are some exercises you can do to improve your focus.Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone.Once you learn how to block out your surroundings, your focus will improve.Other mind exercises you can do are internalizing.This is when you picture yourself in a desired situation, and then you work around your picture.Actors do this a lot to block out laughter, noise, or other distractions.An example of this would be to imagine you in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert.Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different scenarios were to happen.This can actually be a lot of fun.and you learn how to improve your focus by concentrating on one thing only.If this sounds a little strange to you, you could try another strategy.Why not make lists? Make a list for the things you need to accomplish for the morning, another for the afternoon.and finally, another list for the evening.Study your lists carefully and see where you can move thingsaround.For instance, if you have a dinner to arrange that evening, don't bunch up everything in the afternoon, right before the guests arrive.Divide your chores and errands between morning and afternoon, and give yourself an hour or two to relax before the guests arrive.Planning helps you focus.It will also not stress you out.Another way to improve your focus is to take breaks.If children have rest and lunch as their breaks, adults should also allow themselves the privilege of stopping for a drink or a 30 minute sitcom on TV.Of course, if you are working in an office, you are allowed coffee breaks.Use this time wisely.Don't spend it with your co-workers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office.Doing this would actually stress you and get you to lose focus on the things that need to be done.Your breaks should be as quiet as possible.Read a book.take a walk.or visit a daycare.Go and do anything that will give your brain a rest.The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds.Of course, it could also be because you are bored with nothing to do all day.A good balance between a too relaxed brain and an overly active brain is a desirable situation to be in.Find your capacity to work, and try not to veer away too far from it on a daily basis.Improving your focus also means knowing what you can do and being confident about doing it well.Focus is important but difficult to improve1.71 to improve your focusI .Staring at picture.◆Staring at a wall picture 72 to learn to block out surroundingsⅡ.73 .◆Concentrating on imagining a potentially stressful work place to block out 74Ⅲ.75 .◆Dividing a day into 76 for chores and errands to be done.as well as arranging time for relaxationIV.Taking breaks.◆Wisely using time to have a drink, watch TV quietly instead of 77 ; just resting your brain2.78 for easily losing focus◆Having too much on minds◆79 all dayConclusion Keeping 80 between extremely relaxed brain and too active brain.Section B (10 marks)Directions Read.the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.Write your answers on your answer sheet.When I was 10 years old, my friend Sydney was diagnosed with a brain tumor.Sydney fought against it, but the tumor did not respond to treatment, and could not be surgically removed.The mass wrapped around her brain stem, the area of the brain that controls the vital functions of life such as breathing and blood pressure.Sydney died at the age of 11.After her death, I felt immense sadness and frustration about pediatric cancer.I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions.When I was 11 years old.I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild(PPD)with two friends.The guild is named after Sydney s favorite color and pattern, which represents both the memory of my friend and the guild's positive approach.Mygoal has been to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children.Over the years, PPD has held fundraisers from lemonade stands to art expositions to golf tournaments.I have played a leading role in planning and organizing each PPD event.The very first Pink Polka Dots event, a garage sale.raised $ 9.000, and our most recent fundraiser, the fifth annual golf tournament, brought in over $ 73.000.The guild progressed faster than I ever anticipated.In five years, we have become 40 members strong, and raised almost half of a million dollars.I've been shocked by the public recognition that the guild has earned.PPD received an award from a U.S.Senator, spoke at a TED Conference, was featured in Teen Vogue, and appeared on The Note Berkus Show.Each of these honors has raised awareness and money for our cause.The initiative that I have taken has truly impacted the world of cancer research.PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries, such as "Tumor Paint", which illuminates cancerous cells so that surgeons can remove them with unprecedented accuracy.The discovery appeared in Time Magazine., and will be reviewed by the Food & Drug Administration starting in early 2012.1 am extremely proud to have helped fund the research of this life-saving technology.Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist.My experience has taught me that with passion and dedication, it is possible to make a difference to the world.The determination that Pink Polka Dots sparked in me has carried over to all aspects of my life, making me a driven academic, a competitive debater and a dedicated volunteer.81.Why did the author feel sad and frustrated?

(No more than 13 words)84.What did the author learn trom his own experience of founding PPD?

AHello and welcome to Reading! We’re the Rock family, and we’re looking forward to sharing our home with you for the following three months.Front doorsThere are three keys on the keying we’re given you. Two of them open the front door, and the third one opens the inside door. You may find it difficult to lock and unlock the doors in the first week, and you’ll probably need some practice before you get it right! Please make sure to keep the inside door closed between the months of October and April, because this will mike it cheaper for us to heat the house during the colder weather!Shopping for groceriesMarks &Spencer—at the petrol station near the 17 bus stop at the Three Tuns crossroads (a ten-minute walk from our house). This is also quite expensive, but is open very early and very late. Lidl—this is where our family does most of our shopping. Our local Lidl supermarket is in Woodley, and we usually go there twice or three times a week. Lidl is one of the cheapest supermarkets in Reading, but it doesn’t sell a wide range of products. There is also a Korean shop on the University campus which sells Chinese food products. You can find it in Students’ Union building in the centerof campus.Boiling waterWe know that most Chinese people like to drink hot water. You are welcome to boil water in our kettle, but water in Britain houses is always safe to drink without boiling.

But little Ella Peggie, who was born without her left arm, will get an extraordinary opportunity to share a life-changing bond with her new beloved pet, three-legged puppy.When her mother, Brooke Hodgson, saw the one-year-old puppy named Snowy, she knew instantly it would be the perfect companion for her one-year-old daughter. “My heartskipped a beat when I saw Snowy online,” Ms. Hodgson said. It took just three days for the puppy, who recently had surgery to remove a leg, to find a new home after she was sent to the animal shelter last week.“I knew she was going to be perfect for Ella—they share the same age so they both have a long life of friendship ahead of them. I just know that Snowy is going to increase her confidence when she is growing up.

And she believes the caring puppy will be by Ella’s side through the highs and lows of her life. Ms. Hodgson said, “Ever morning Snowy looks for Ella first before she runs to anyone else. It’s quite a unique link. I’m just thankful that I was able to give her this dog. I just can’t wait for them to get even closer. Not many people are able to do this for their children so we’re very lucky to have Snowy. I can’t even explain how I feel right now.” The young mother said Snowy, who was welcomed into the family just a week ago, has been playing a very special part to Ella’s life as well as her three-year-old brother Blake and her father, Stewart Peggie.24.

Although it might seem not be seen, circling around that star is a rocky planet that could hold the answer to whether we are alone in the universe.Scientists say the planet is a “Super-Earth” which is the best place to loo k for signs of life outside of the Solar System. Early indications suggest it has an atmosphere, and sits within the “Goldilocks Zone” where it is neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water to exist. And it is only 40 light years from Earth meaning that it could be possible to send a signal.“This is the most exciting exoplanet(外星球)I’ve seen in the past decade,” said lead author Jason Dittmann of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. “We could hardly hope for a better target to perform one of the biggest quests in science—searching for evidence of life beyond Earth.”The planet was found by an international team of scientists. The new world named LHS 1140b, is ten times closer to its parent star than the Earth. But because its parent star is far cooler than the Earth, the planet still sits in the habitable zone.For life as we know it to exist, a planet must have liquid surface water and keep an atmosphere. In this case, the planet’s large size and closeness to its sun means that a magma(岩浆)ocean could have existed on its surface for millions of years, which fed steam into the atmosphere, filling the planet with water.Astronomers estimate the age of the planet to be at least five billion years, just a little older than Earth. They also evaluated that it has a diameter(直径)1.4 times larger than the Earth. But the exoplanet is probably made of rock.28. What makes the planet a “habitable zone”?A. It is near the Earth.B. It is near the sun.C. It is neither too hot nor too cold.D. It is neither too big nor too small.29. Why is the planet suitable for life in spite of being very near to its parent star?A.

Ambition.DA cab company in one of Japan’s major cities is introducing silent taxi drivers. Miyako Taxi, which is based in Kyoto, shows the new idea in March. The business is currently operating five “Silence Taxis” acr oss the city.The cars look like an ordinary taxi, but a notice written on the back of the passenger seat will inform passengers that they have entered one of the new silent taxis. Drivers will offer a greeting when their passenger enters the car, and aside from confirming the route they will not engage in small talk. The drivers can talk only if they are spoken to first, and they are also allowed to communicate in emergency situations.Announcing the idea, Miyako Taxi said, “This service is currently i n a trial stage, with the goal of creating an in-car atmosphere that provides the most comfortable ride for passengers through limiting the driver’s speaking.” According to Japan Today, they made the move after hearing reports from passengers that they were fed up being forced to chat with their drivers.The company will assess the popularity of the trial before deciding whether to expand it and roll it out across more of their drivers.Language and speaking is at the heart of another issue facing Uber drivers, after they lost a High Court Battle to block written tests in London. Drivers applying for a minicab license in the capital will now have to pass the written exam followingUber’s failed challenger against Transport for London (TFL). The company argue d it could see up to 33,000 existing drivers lost their licences under the new rules.The company’s London head, Tom Elvidge, determined to challenge the ruling, said, “We’ve always supported spoken English skills, but writing an essay has nothing to do wi th communicating with passengers or getting them safely from A to B.”32.
