Unit 3Section ⅣⅠ. 阅读表达阅读下面短文并用英语回答问题，然后将答案写到答案卡相应的位置上(请留意每个小题后面的词数要求)。

Chat rooms and messaging can be great fun，but remember, you never really know who you are talking to online. It could be someone trying to trick you，some kind of weirdo(奇异的人)，or someone really dangerous. Here are some tips to help you keep safe：·Never use your real name in chat rooms—pick a special online nickname.·Never tell anyone personal things about yourself or your family—like your address or telephone number，or the school or clubs you go to. That goes for sending them photos as well(that way if you don't want to hear from them again，you only have to log off.) Remember, even if somebody tells you about themselves，never tell them things about you.·If you arrange to meet up with someone you've only spoken to once, remember that they might not be who they said they were，so only meet people in public places and take along an adult—they should do this too，because they don't know who you really are either!·Never respond to nasty(淫秽的)or rude messages，and never send any either! If you feel suspicious or uncomfortable about the way a conversation is going，or if it's getting really personal，save a record of it and stop the conversation. That way you can show someone and ask what they think.·Be careful with any email attachments or links that people send you; they might contain nasty images，or computer “viruses” that could ruin your PC. So if ________________，don't open it.1．What is the best title for the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)________________________________________________________________________2．Complete the following sentence with proper words. (Please answer within 5 words.)The person you are talking to online may mean to ________.3．Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 10 words.)________________________________________________________________________4．What is the author's purpose in writing the last paragraph? (Please answer within 30 words.)________________________________________________________________________5．What does the word“it”(paragraph 5) probably refer to?________________________________________________________________________答案：1.Surfing Safely Tips for Young People.2．do harm to you3．you don't know who it's from4．It is important never to tell anyone personal things online，because it is not a real world on line，where you may be cheated if you're not careful enough.5．a conversationⅡ. 六选五依据短文内容，从A－F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，选项中有一项是多余项。

新沂三中2023届高三英语限时练（4）限时：40分钟一、阅读理解AAllowing women to give birth in hospital with their pet dog by their side could make them less anxious, one of the first women to use a “birth dog” has said.Charlotte Beard, 24, who suffers from non-epileptic seizures, was supported through her 50-hour labour by her aid pet Flump, who is trained to detect seizures before they happen.Flump was prepared for the birth by being played audio tracks of babies crying at home and being introduced to staff at the maternity ward (产房) in Poole hospital. Beard joked. “He was visiting the maternity hospital on a very regular basis, getting to know staff, getting to know the different rooms and the setups.”It is a legal requirement that assistance dogs are allowed into hospitals, but Beard said a lot of hospitals were not aware of this.“It would have caused high levels of anxiety if Flump was not there,” she said. “I would have certainly been more concerned about my safety.”“I am not suggesting that if I were to have a seizure, staff would not have been able to look after me. But no staff member can detect beforehand whether you are going to have a seizure or not. That is something that Flump can do that nobody else can, and it gives them such valuable time to make sure that I am safe and have the right support in place before it happens. Prevention is always much better than treatment.”Beard got Flump at 10 weeks and has trained him since then. “From a human standpoint I cannot help but think how lovely it is that Flump was there. He was one of the first to see Alfie,” Beard said. “Being present there from the birth and meeting Alfie within moments of him being born, whether it has increased the bond or not, it was such a lovely experience for everyone. Flump was absolutely besotted (痴恋) with Alfie from the moment he first saw him.”1. Why did Beard have an assistance pet present during birth?A. To cure her disease.B. To monitor the doctors.C. To ease her anxiety.D. To keep the door.2. What was the assistance dog trained to do before doing the job?A. Understand human voices.B. Get familiarized with the hospital.C. Play music for babies.D. Learn about medical devices.3. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to?A. Detecting the disease.B. Medical treatment.C. Looking after the patient.D. A seizure.4. What does Beard think of future bond between the dog and her son?A. It will be close.B. It will be tense.C. It needs improving.D. It is hard to say.BEven tree-planting can increase health risks to local human populations if it focuses too narrowly on a small number of species, as is often the case in commercial forests. Outbreaks of infectious diseases are more likely in areas of monoculture plantations, according to a new study.The researchers of the study said this was because diseases are filtered (过滤) and blocked by a range of predators (食肉动物) and habitats in a healthy, biodiverse forest. When this is replaced by a palm oil plantation or soy fields, the specialist species die off, leaving generalists such as rats and mosquitoes to thrive (繁殖) and spread pathogens across human and non-human habitats. The net result is a loss of natural disease regulation.The researchers examined the correlation between trends for forest cover, plantations, population and disease around the globe using statistics from international institutions such as the World Health Organization and the Food and Agricultural Organization. Over the period of study from 1990 to 2016, this covered 3,884 outbreaks of 116 diseases that crossed the species barrier and 1,996 outbreaks of 69 vector-borne infectious diseases, mostly carried by mosquitoes, ticks or flies.The new study adds to a growing body of evidence that viruses are more likely to transfer to humans or animals if they live in or near human-disturbed ecosystems. This is shaped by trade patterns and consumer behaviour. A quarter of global forest loss is driven by the production of commodities such as beef, soy, palm oil and wood fibre.Morand, lead-author of the study, said his study showed that disease risks need to be added to risk-benefit analysis of new projects. “We should take the costs of public health into account when considering new plantations. The risks are first to local people, but thenworldwide because we have seen with Covid how quickly diseases can spread.”Morand is now working on a more detailed study that will use satellite analysis of forest cover to examine links with disease. With more information, he believes it may be possible to predict future outbreaks and to work with local communities to build ecologically diverse and economically productive landscapes that reduce the risks.5. Why are outbreaks of infectious diseases more likely in areas of monoculture plantations?A. The specialist species are wiped out by their predators.B. Biodiversity decline destroys natural disease regulation.C. Local human populations have no knowledge of health risks.D. Commercial forests provide food for disease-carrying insects.6. How did the researchers get their findings?A. By conducting data analysis.B. By referring to another study.C. By making field investigation.D. By consulting authoritative agencies.7. What does Morand intend to do by his words in paragraph 5?A. Criticize policy-makers.B. Offer a solution to Covid.C. Make a suggestion.D. Support evidence for her findings.8. What does the last paragraph talk about concerning Morand-led study?A. Its theoretical basis.B. Its appeal to the public.C. Expectations for future studies.D. Researchers with new perspectives.第二节(共5小题;每小题分,满分分)If you’re going travelling after university or as a career break, an extended period of time of unemployment can leave a gaping hole in your CV. ____1____ As long as you plan your trip carefully and think about what you can do, travelling can actually boost your CV and career.Recharge you batteriesIf you’ve just spent three or four years at university, or working without a break, then you’ll need to recharge your batteries.

2023版新教材高考英语一轮总复习：UNIT 3 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解ACoral reefs (珊瑚礁) are an integral part of sea life and sustain it by providing shelter and habitat to various organisms.They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a growing fish population, along with other species, for a healthy and diverse ecosystem.However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and long-time “coral bleaching (珊瑚白化)”events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them.In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms.The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea, found alongside the east coast of Queensland, Australia.The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world.“Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places — the crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoops and grunts of fish.Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they're looking for a place to settle，” said Steve Simpson, study co-author and a professor at the University of Exeter, UK.By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played.“These returning fish are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems.Boosting fish population in this way could help to kick-start natural recovery processes, preventing the damage we're seeing on many coral reefs around the world，” said lead author, Tim Gordon.语篇解读：由于海水温度的上升，深海珊瑚的生态遭到破坏。

UNIT4单元提能强化练Ⅰ.阅读理解AAn exhibition of Song Buyun’s works is now running at the museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.The exhibition will run through Feb.27.These days,a long awaited snowfall in Beijing easily creates a fanfare(轰动) online.One needn’t go outside to feel people’s excitement at a blanket of snow,as a glimpse of the photos and videos uploaded on social media will be enough.Seventy years ago,however,while snow was common inBeijing,cameras were seldom to be seen;few were able to record the scenery of this historical city.One of the few was Song Buyun,the late oil painter and water-colorist who walked the streets and recorded the beauty of Beijing’s centuries-old architecture.Cultural landmarks frozen in time are displayed in Song’s Beijing landscape series,picturing the peaceful atmosphere of the city’s historical spots over the course of a year,such asTiantan.He documented people visiting the Palace Museum,swimming in lakes and clearing snow off the streets.Dying in 1992,Song didn’t have a chance to show this body of work during his lifetime.It was eight years later that these paintings were made public for the first time at an eemory.“Song’s paintings show the h armony(和谐) between architecture and its surroundings,” says Fan Di’an,dean of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.“The colors are vivid and arranged tastefully to give a refreshing look to these oldbining skills of Chinese and Western art,his works preserve(保存) the varied landscape of a city,and under his brushwork,Song injected rich emotions,allowing his work to stand the test of time.”1.What can we know about Song’s works in the eade with the help of cameras.B.They focus on Beijing’s cultural landmarks.C.They show people’s hard life in Beijing decades ago.D.They have drawn wide attention and good comments online.2.When did the public first see the body of Song’s Beijing landscape series?A.In 1951.B.In 1992.C.In .D.In .3.What makes Song’s works last long?A.The colors Song used were very special.B.Some architecture and surroundings don’t exist.C.They are the only way to record the historic scenery.D.Song’s skills and emotion make the works valuable.4.What’s the best title of this tee:an old Beijing in Song Buyun’s exhibitionB.Song Buyun:a great colour master who painted architectureC.A symphony of colors:an exhibition giving you a feast of eyesndmarks in Beijing:the harmony architecture and cultureBIn 1939,seven-year-old Miriam Schreiber should have started first grade.Instead,she spent that year—and the following five—trying to survive.She was living in Poland when World War Ⅱbroke out.“My entire life was ruined within minutes,” she says.“I was looking forward to starting school.” She never made it.And not having a degree has always been a thorn in her side.Decades later,though,the Holocaust survivor finally got something she had always longed for.Kapiloff Brander,director of community programs at Jewish Family Services,reached out to the New England Jewish Academy,a Jewish high school,to ask whether the school could help Miriam fulfill her wish.Richard Nabel,the principal of the school,brought a few senior students to Miriam’s home to hear her story before they came up with the idea of presenting her an honorary diploma at the school’s graduation ceremony.Miriam suffered a lot in a slave labor camp in Siberia before she got liberated in 1946.She and her remaining family members went to a refugee camp in Germany,where she got married and had her first child at the age of 16.Having spent years in refugee camps in different countries,she finally immigrated to America in1960.Getting a formal education was never an option for her but shelearned seven languages over the year s.“I educated myself,” she says.“I read books day and night.I still do.”On August 16,during a socially distanced ceremony in the school gym,Miriam was presented with a high school diploma from the New England Jewish Academy.“There weren’t too many dry eye s among the 30 of us there,” says Nabel.Miriam’s family was especially moved.“I’m not sure she even realizes the importance of that moment to me,” says Bernie,her eldest son.“I am so proud of her.”5.What can be learned about Miriam from paragraph 1?A.She regretted not being educated at school.B.She started first grade at the age of seven.C.She felt lucky to have survived World War Ⅱ.D.She spent five years in Poland during the war.6.How did Miriam get her long-cherished wish fulfilled?A.She made it through her own efforts.B.She turned to Kapiloff Brander for help.C.The senior students themselves presented a diploma to her.D.Richard Nabel learned about her story and decided to help.7.Which of the following best describes Miriam?cated.B.Intelligent.C.Determined.D.Patient.8.What did Nabel mean by saying “There weren’t too many dry eyes”?A.Miriam’s story was ordinary but inspiring.B.Most of those present were deeply touched.C.He was impressed by Miriam and was proud of her.D.He felt honored to present Miriam with a diploma.Ⅱ.完形填空Dear Mr.Smith,I have put this letter off for far too long.I know you passed away many years ago,but maybe someone else 1 this will do much better 2

AWilkie Collins was born in London in 1824 and his first novel — a historical romance called Antonina— was published when he was 26. Shortly after this he met Charles Dickens, and they formed a close friendship that lasted for ten years and influenced both men’s writing. Collins went on publishing 25 novels as well as many short stories, plays and works of non-fiction. However, he is most well-known for the twomysteries(悬疑故事)The Woman in White and The Moonstone .Collins published both mysteries as serials in All the Year Round . When it appeared in the magazine in1860, The Woman in White was so popular that it became the subject of a song and a play. It even influencedfashion, and many women started to dress in white. Eight years later The Moonstone was published andearned Collins the title “the father of the modern English detective (侦探)novel”. T.S. Elliot, another famous writer, said that The Moonstone was the “first and greatest of English detective novels”, and it is still admiredby modern crime writers today.An author of many mysteries, Dorothy L. Sayers considered The Moonstone to be “probably the finestdetective story ever written”, and many people agree with her. There are several reasons why they think so.One is that Collins uses different characters to tell each section of the story. The characters have very different personalities and voices, which are interesting and often amusing. There are also several features ofthe plot which start trends(趋向) in mystery writing. For example, many detective stories are set in a country house, where the theft must have been committed by one of the people in the house. A number of modern films have also used the idea of a cursed(被诅咒的)jewel stolen from a religious statue.

B If you are given only 1 yuan , could you live in a city for one day? It seems this may be a little difficult. But students from Xi’an did it. On April 10, more than 60 students from the Middle School Attached to Northwestern Polytechnic University took part in the One Yuan Metropolis Survival. The charitable organization for teenagers called Imperceptible Education held this activity. Students not only have to live, but they also have to deal with a lot of hard tasks. It has happened in eight cities and is going to four others, including Beijing, in June. To make money, many students looked for part-time jobs and saw how hard life was. Zhang Queue, 14, asked more than 10 restaurants for a job and finally got one chance. “We were sad when they said no. But gradually (逐渐地), we got used to it,” he said. After being a waiter for an hour, he got 25 yuan. Some made use of their talents by singing and dancing in parks or shopping malls. Many people who walked by took notice and helped them. Zhao Jincheng, 14, drew pictures and made paper crafts(手工). “This showed it’s important to learn a special skill,” he said.此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号Living was hard, but finishing the tasks wasn’t any easier. They went to different places to finish tasks in a short time. The most amazing one was when they had to exchange things worth thousands yuan with only a piece of paper in half an hour. “We learned how to persuade others. From a balloon to a cake to a bottle of yogurt(酸乳) … after almost 20 tries, we got an expensive necklace,” he said. They will give all of the money they made to poor schools in Tibet.24.

T here’s a chance that, sooner or later, you might have to move further than you were thinking, as far as mars.On Thursday, National Geographic will show the first-ever Mars show home, giving earthlings(地球人) an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet. In the not-so-distant year of 2037, the igloo-shaped structure could be the home of your future.It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft(航天器) parts and Martian soil, called regolith, which has been microwaved into bricks. Some parts of the home are recognizable — a kitchen, a bedroom — but there are fundamental differences that are important to human survival.As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earth’s, people will need permanent(永久的) shelter from the sun; society will move largely indoors. Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won’t have windows. The homes will have simulated solar lighting, or natural light that has been bent several times.Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick to protect people from dangerous rays(光线) that can pass through six feet of steel, and a double air-locked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive, but on Mars your house will be a survival centre,” says Stephen Petranek, author of How We’ll Live on Mars. This is not just the stuff of sci-fi. “10 to 20 years from now there will certainly be people, on Mars.” Petranek says.“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars, but we haven’t had the will,” Petranek says. But two main factors have “completely swung public attitudes”.The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to speed up their game, and influential films such as Gravity and The Mar tian have caught society’s eye.28. What can we know about the show home from the text?A. It has no windows or doors due to security concern.B. Its design presents the idea of environmental protection.C. It has thick walls keeping the home under proper pressure.D. Its underground passages connect all the building together.29. What do the underlined words “put them on hold” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Put them off.B. Give them away.C. Carry them through.D. Take them seriously.30. According to Petranek, what has sped up the process of sending people to Mars?A. The great influence of the Mars show home.B. The development of related technology.精品文档可修改欢迎下载C. The competition from private companies.D. The popularity of influential books on Mars.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Living on Mars: Possible or NotB. Sending People to Mars: Yes or NoC. First-ever show home: How Is It MadeD. Future Home on Mars: What Will It Be LikeDThe death of languages is not a new phenomenon. Languages usually have a short life span (寿命)as well as a very high death rate. Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin, have lasted more than 2,000 years.What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europe’s colonial rule caused a sharp decrease in languages, reducing at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen languages, and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 languages spoken at the end of the 18th century.The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting national languages. By making great efforts to establish an official language in education and the media, national governments have tried to reduce minority languages.This process of language standardization(标准化)has been improved by industrialization and scientific progress, which have created new methods of communication that are fast, straightforward and practical. The various kinds of language came to be seen as an difficulty to trade and the spread of knowledge. Monolingualism (单一语言制)became an perfect choice.More recently, the internationalization of financial markets, the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have led to the danger to “small” languages. A language not on the Internet is a language that “no longer exists” in the modern world. It is out of the game.The serious effects of the death of languages are clear. First of all, it is possible that if we ended up speaking the same language, our brains would lose some of their natural functions for language inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of “the first language”. As each language dies, a chapter of human history closes.Multilingualism(多语制)is the best reflection of multiculturalism. The destruction of the first will lead to the loss of the second. Creating a language without any links to a people’s culture and way of life stifles the expression of their language gift. A language is not only used as the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses the world view of those who speak it, as well as their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languages is an urgent matter.32. Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages?A. Colonial rule from Europe.B. The rise of nation-states.C. Advance in science and industrialization.D. The increase of human population.33. The underlined word “stifles” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.A. cheersB. killsC. createsD. improves34. The serious effects of the death of languages include all except that ________.A. people would fail to understand how languages startedB. monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalismC. the death of languages would become a difficulty to realize globalizationD. human brains would become less creative in languages35. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To draw people’s attention to the importance of language preservation.B. To warn people of the negative results of globalization.C. To explain the reasons why languages are dying out.D. To argue how important it is for people to speak more languages.第二节七选五（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。

Book 4Unit 3 A taste of English humourⅠ.阅读理解“I can’t find my sunglasses in broad daylight，but I can find the snooze button(止闹按钮) on my alarm，even if it is a meter away with both eyes closed，heavy with sleep.”This is the closing line of an article I read on sleep recently.The moment I read it，it reminded me almost everybody longs for those extra few moments of sleep everyday.However，the “I am very sleepy” phase reaches its peak during one’s teenage.Teens are often badly blamed for staying up late and falling asleep in class.The one thing that I will never forget about my school days is the lack of sleep.Because of assignments，we hardly used to get 5～6 hours every day so once or twice a month we used to take a day off just to sleep.Though I never fell asleep during class I used to feel tired all the time.Once a classmate fell asleep as she was sitting and drafting patterns.Another classmate once fell asleep while she stopped her car at a signal and woke up only when everybody was honking around her.It is a fact that teens and young adults require around 9.5 hours of sleep per night.During the teen years，the body’s internal biological clock is temporarily reset，telling a person to fall asleep later and wake up later.Though this seems like a valid(正当的) excuse，it is not at all useable.For teen years are usually our busiest years coinciding with board exams，cultural and sport activities，and college admissions.Even when we feel irritated，we have to get up and be out there.Recently，some researchers have suggested middle school classes begin later in the morning to meet teens’ need for more sleep.Of course that’s not going tohappen soon，so we’d have to make our own adjustments to avoid sleep loss.If you can’t sleep at night，my advice would be to read a boring book or a subject book that you find less interesting so you would be asleep in no time.1．The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to .A．tell us about teenagers’ loss of sleepB．show us how to deal with loss of sleepC．warn us of the harm of sleeping too muchD．tell us how to get enough sleep at night答案 A解析写作目的题。
