2021-2022学年江苏省苏州市高三(上)期初调研英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题, 共37.5分)A1.For centuries,tea has been used for far more than overcoming thirst.Around the worldpeople drink it to relax and restore energy.Green,oolong and black tea come from the same plant —Camellia sinensis(茶树).Green tea,however,is processed in a different way,which results in higher levels of some of the compounds that scientists believe have positive effects on our mental health.A 2017 review of more than 100 studies found that green tea can impact the brain inthree ways: reduce anxiety;focus attention;and improve brain function,especiallymemory.However,it was cautioned that the effects aren't large,and current evidence is mainly provided by small-scale studies.There are also suggestions that tea could improve the symptoms of depression,dementia (痴呆)and Down syndrome (唐氏综合征).A 2018 study conducted in South Korea found that frequent green tea drinkers were 21%less likely to develop depression than those who were non-drinkers.However,as anobservational study,it couldn't establish cause and effect,only association.Tea also has some benefits for our physical health —it's linked to a longer life,could reduce some risk factors for cardiovascular(心血管的)disease such as heart attack and stroke,and may also have a weight-losing effect."We need better data to truly assess the benefits of tea on our mental and physicalwell-being," said Gunter Kuhnle at the University of Reading,"however,with theexception of green tea pills,which have been linked to liver damage,and burningtea,which has been linked to esophageal(食道的)cancer,there's no real downside to a cup of tea.I think most people enjoy rituals(仪式感).It's a comforting thing.If there's anything wrong,here it's a cup of tea that's needed."2.How is green tea different from oolong and black tea______3. A.It cures depression and dementia.B.It is never part of a complex ritual.C.It has higher levels of certain compounds.D.It is taken from Camellia sinensis.4.What does Gunter Kuhnle want to express?______5. A.Green tea rituals give people comfort.B.Green tea pills may cause esophageal cancer.C.Green tea brings people more harm than good.D.Green tea proves beneficial with no exception.Which can be a suitable title for the text______A.Which tea prevents cancerB.Why drinking tea might helpC.When tea causes liver damageD.How teas are processedB6.At first,I didn't recognize the symptoms that we all had in common.Friends mentionedthat they were having trouble concentrating.It wasn't burnout —we still had energy.It wasn't depression —we didn't feel hopeless.We just felt somewhat joyless and aimless.It turns out there's a name for that: languishing.Languishing is a sense of inactivity and emptiness.It feels as if you're muddling(应付)through your days,looking at your life through a foggy windshield (挡风玻璃).In psychology,we think about mental health on a spectrum(范围)from depression to flourishing (精力旺盛).Flourishing is the peak of well-being.Depression is the valley of nguishing is the neglected middle child of mental health.It's the emptiness between depression and flourishing —the absence of well-being.You're notfunctioning at full nguishing dulls your motivation,disrupts your ability tofocus,and greatly increases the possibility that you'll cut back on work.Part of the danger is that when you're languishing,you might not notice the dulling ofdelight or the decreasing of drive.You don't catch yourself slipping slowly into aloneness;you're indifferent to your indifference.When you can't see your own suffering,you don't seek help or even do much to help yourself.So what can we do about it People who became more focused on their work managed to avoid languishing.Interrupted attention is an enemy of engagement and excellence.Togo beyond languishing,give yourself some uninterrupted time.It clears out constantdistractions(分心)and gives us the freedom to focus.And try starting with small wins by focusing on a challenge that matters to you - an interesting project,a worthwhile goal,ora meaningful conversation.We still have a lot to learn about what causes languishing and how to cure it,but naming it might be a first step.It could help to defog our vision,giving us a clearer window into what had been an unclear experience.It could remind us that we weren't alone:languishing is common and shared.By acknowledging that so many of us are languishing,we can start giving voice to quiet despair and lighting a path out of the emptiness.7.Which definition best suits the word "languishing"?______8. A.Feeling exhausted and without hope.B.Becoming weaker or failing to improve.C.Making someone want to achieve something.D.Going beyond the usual limits of something.9.Which of the following can be described as languishing?______10. A.Seeking help when you are suffering.B.Realizing that you are not alone in despair.C.Giving yourself some uninterrupted time.D.Being indifferent to your lack of enthusiasm.11.What could psychologists do to help solve the problems of languishing?______12. A.Give people more freedom. B.See it as depression. it clearly.D.Remove it from a spectrum.Why is it significant to know languishing is common and shared?______A.We can let the silent despair speak up and find a way out.B.We can continue to learn more about languishing.C.We can see it as basically the same as depression.D.We can study it as the complete opposite of flourishing.C13. A bat and a ball cost﹩1.10 in total.The bat costs ﹩1.00 more than the ball.How muchdoes the ball costIf you answered 10 cents,you're not alone - most people give the same answer(thecorrect answer is 5 cents).It's an example of how we often rely on intuitive(直觉的)responses - answers we feel are true.People give answers that "pop into their mind," says Steven Sloman.We don't spend much time "reflecting and checking whether the answer is right or wrong."The bat and ball question helps explain why we often believe in fake(假的)news.It is part of human nature to believe,says Sloman.But "the trick with fake news is to know to verify" --- in other words,to stop and question what you know.In one experiment,Sloman and a colleague invented a discovery called helium rain.They told a group of volunteers about it,but admitted they could not fully explain what it was.They then asked thevolunteers to rate their own understanding of helium rain.Most volunteers ratedthemselves 1 out of 7, meaning they did not understand the concept.The researchers then told another group of volunteers about the discovery.This time,they said that scientists could fully explain how it works.When asked to rate theirunderstanding,the volunteers gave an average answer of 2.The scientists' confidencegave the volunteers an increased sense of their own understanding,Sloman says.According to Sloman,studies show that knowledge spreads like a contagion(传染病).This idea can be seen in many fields,including politics."If everyone around you is saying they understand why a politician is dishonest," Sloman says, "then you're going to start thinking that you understand,too."Another explanation for the spread of fake news is "motivated reasoning," writes Adam Wyatz,an American management professor,"we are naturally more likely to believethings that confirm our existing opinions."So,in a world where misleading information is common,training people to care about fact-checking is important,especially in online communities."We should check things and not just take them at face value," Sloman says."Verify before you believe."14.Why does the author use the example of the bat and ball question?______15. A.To warn that people often ignore skills that they learned.B.To show that there are various answers to a question.C.To illustrate that people tend to rush to a conclusion.D.To arouse people's interest in playing guessing games.16.In paragraph 3, what does the underlined word "verify" mean?______17. A.To make sure something is true.B.To think about something for a long time.C.To express an opinion about something.D.To follow your intuitive response.18.When do more volunteers claim to understand helium rain?______19. A.When some of the volunteers explained it to them.B.When Sloman and his colleagues showed them how it works.C.When they have more confidence in themselves.D.When they believed that scientists understood it.Which of the following is an example of "motivated reasoning"______A.You trust a damaging story about someone who you always judge negatively.B.You post a message online that gives your personal opinion about a news story.C.You search online for more information about a doubtful story on social media.D.You think a university professor dishonest when everybody around you say so.D20.Atticus was sitting in the swing,and Mr.Tate was in a chair next to him.The light fromthe living-room windows was strong on them."Well,Heck," Atticus was saying, "Of course it was clear-cut self defense,but it'll come before county court.""Mr.Finch,do you think Jem killed Bob Ewell Do you think that?""You heard what Scout said,there's no doubt about it.She said Jem got up and yanked him off her —he probably got hold of Ewell's knife somehow in the dark…we'll find out tomorrow.""Mr.Finch,hold on." said Mr.Tate."Jem never stabbed Bob Ewell."Atticus was silent for a moment.He looked at Mr.Tate as if he appreciated what hesaid.But Atticus shook his head."Heck,thank you from the bottom of my heart,but I don't want my boy starting out with something like this over his head.Best way to clear the air is to have it all out in theopen.""Mr.Finch," Mr.Tate said,"Bob Ewell fell on his knife.He killed himself.""Heck," Atticus's back was turned."If this thing's hushed up(掩盖)it'll be a simple denial to Jem of the way I've tried to raise him.Before Jem looks at anyone else he looksat me,and I've tried to live so I can look squarely back at him…if I allow this to happen,I couldn't meet his eyes,and the day I can't do that I'll know I've lost him.I don't want to lose him and Scout,because they're all I've got.""Mr.Finch." Mr.Tate was still planted to the floorboards."Bob Ewell fell on his knife.I can prove it."Atticus wheeled around.His hands dug into his pockets."Heck,can't you even try to see it my way?When my children are grown I'll be an old man if I'm still around,but right now I'm —if they don't trust me they won't trust anybody.Jem and Scout know what happened.If they hear of me saying downtown something different happened —Heck,I won't have them any more.I can't live one way in town and another way in my home."Mr.Tate said patiently, "Bob Ewell fell on his knife.—Look,I can show you."21.Which of the following most probably happened before this part of the story?______22. A.Jem attacked Bob Ewell. B.Bob Ewell attacked Jem.C.Bob Ewell was killed by Jem.D.Jem was killed by Bob Ewell.23.Why does Atticus want it to come before county court?______24. A.He believed Bob Ewell had killed himself.B.He wanted to hide the actual fact.C.He wanted the judge to make the decision.D.He wanted the public to know the truth.25.What does the underlined word " this" in paragraph 9 refer to?______26. A.Jem's looking at Atticus before he looked at others.B.Atticus Finch's looking squarely back at Jem.C.Scout's account of what Jem had done.D.Hushing up the fact that Jem had killed Bob Ewell.Which of the following best describes Atticus Finch as a father?______A.Shallow.B.Shy.C.Principled.D.Untrustworthy.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题, 共12.5分)27.When he did it,all 16 hours,46 minutes and nine seconds of physical and psychologicalhell,his father told him: "You woke up this morning as a boy with Down syndrome.(1) "Chris Nikic.He's 21.He made the unrealistic his reality.(2) Last fall,he became the first person with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman triathlon —a 2.4-mile swim,112-mile bike ride and26.2-mile run.Chris Nikic is not just an Ironman —he's a superhero."Since the race,we have received thousands and thousands of messages from people around the world who are inspired by his journey.(3) They have kids with special needs or Down syndrome.And so it'stouched Chris and touched us quite a lot." said Chris' father,Nik Nikic." (4) Because he lets them use him as a mirror to look inwardly and say,'Look,if he can do so much with so little,what can I do with what I've got' It's not about him —it's about how he makes other people feel about themselves," Nik Nikic said.Chris Nikic's story spread among the staff at Special Olympic Missouri.As explained by Brian Neuner,chief development and marketing officer," (5) And so,this was just anamazing example of where his ability was realized,even though he has a disability.We really focus on programs that are designed for helping people move forward andadvance.Progress can be measured in so many different ways.Obviously,anIronman,that's an extreme achievement."A.I think in many ways he helps people to realize that they can do more.B.Then came the big race.C.You're going home as an Ironman.D.A lot of the messages are from families like us.E.We really focus on the ability,not the disability.F.The native of Maitland,Florida,believed in the unbelievable.G.Chris underwent some surgeries that left him sedentary (久坐不动的).28.

Gardens are an increasingly important shelter forwildlife which was forced into withdrawing from the countryside by loss of the natural homes and intensive farming. But the growth in the popularity of artificial lawns, which look like the real thing but require no cutting, watering or fertilizing, means there’s no shelter in an increasing number of Britain’s back gardens.Tim Rumball, editor of Amateur Gar—dening magazine, said: “Artificial grass these days looks great and these days you can buy rolls of it whereas before it was a very specialist thing. It can take people a few minutes to realize they are on an artificial lawn rather than a real one.”Besides the impact on wildlife, a damaging impact has also been had on the wider environment because of replacing real grass. Mr. Rumball said: “Lawns matter a lot. Plants change carbon dioxide into oxygen and if all the lawns are taken away in Britain you will significantly affect the carbon levels in the atmosphere. When grass grows longer, it attracts insects. If you have an artificial lawn then these insects will be reduced and the whole of the food chain will be affected, especially birds that rely on insects for their diet.”Joy Wallis of Dorset Wildlife Trust is also concerned about the trend for artificial grass. “These days, gardens are a shelter for wildlife.” she said “Creatures can’t survive in the countryside because it is so full of chemicals. Birds get absolutely nothing from artificial grass, and they can’t dig for worms or anything like that. It seems a shame that people feel they haven’t got the time or the tendency to look after a lawn.”Robert Radcliffe of Notgrass, which currently sells 10,000 square meters of artificial grass per week, says business is booming, adding, “We started five years ago in the UK and it can transform the way you use the garden. There’s the obvious advantage of no cutting or watering, but also there’s no mud for children or pets to walk through the house.” He disagrees that artificial grass isharmful to the environment and added, “There are ecological benefits. In the long run the effect of artificial grass is outweighed by not having to use a lawnmower, running water or fertilizers.”58.What can we learn from the growing trend for artificial lawns? ______ A.More people are fed up with the real lawns.B.More people prefer the lower price of artificial grass.C.More people believe artificial grass to look really better.D.More people pay less attention to taking care of the environment. 59.What can be inferred from what Robert Redcliffe says? ______ A.Wildlife is likely to be threatened.B.All enjoy the convenience of artificial lawns.C.He focuses on keeping the balance of ecology.D.Parents spend more time accompanying children.60. The author’s real purpose of writing the passage is to_______.A.warn the public against damaging the real lawnsB.emphasize the necessity of limiting artificial lawnsC.provide ways of protecting the living environmentD.give the reasons for the popularity of artificial lawnsCRobotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body todeliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.However, unlike the plot of one film—which featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientist’s bloodstream — this device could not be inserted into blood vessels(管)because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallow able robots have been developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.To test their latest version, Dr. Rus and Dr. Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3 500 people in America alone, most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus(食道)and stomach made out of silicone(硅胶). It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine(肠), and contains a little magnet. This is folded up and encased in a 10mm×27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery anddraw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus(肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery burn to speed up healing.The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr. Rus and Dr. Miyashita are determined to succeed.61.According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to_________.A.travel through a scientist’s bloodstreamB.photograph the body to convey to the doctorC.enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairsD.operate on a person outside the body completely62.We learn from Paragraph 3that _________.A.the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animalB.the robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnetC.digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for childrenD.the actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice 63.What may the experiment mean to the medical world? ______A.The surgeries will cost patients much money.B.Patients will suffer less for some surgeries.C.Fewer children will swallow the button cells.D.A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels.64.Which can be the most suitable title for the passage? ______A.An Experiment on RobotB.Tiny Robot, Significant RoleC.The Fantastic Robotic V oyageD.The Exploration of Robot TechnologyDNelle Harper Lee, better known by her pen name Harper Lee, was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960. Immediately successful, it won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. In 1991an organization conducted a survey that made readers identify books that had “made a difference” in their lives. The result? Lee’s book trailed only The Bible. Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain, this novel remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide, reaching about 70% of American public schools. What makes it such a typical read for young people?English class is a place where young Americans come to know themselves. In the folds of dusty books, students can make contact with humanity beyond the shallow small talk of the school hallways. Disturbed by hormones and anxiety, teenagers get through school with confusion and frustration. Literature is a safety valve(安全阀)—it promises relief, a place to figure out one’s problemsand get to know oneself better.The novel particularly distinguishes itself in this aspect. It speaks in a child’s voice without treating its readership as children. Some critics have called it an ‘impossible’achievement, a children’s book penned by a well-educated adult —it’s unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the real world. But that’s exactly what makes it such a charming, attractive read for young people. It indicates the consciousness of a well-educated adult facing difficult realities, but describes it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl.Gaby Hick, a third-year student focused on English literature at Brown University, calls it “one of the first books that kids and young adults read that deals with serious issues —rape, race, mental issues”. She adds, “The story makes these adult themes accessible because of Scout.” The book’s setting, a small town in Alabama affected by the Great Depression of the 1930s, may appear very different from the experience of most kids reading it today. But Lee’s words make her story feel alive and present.In 2006, however, critic Thomas Mallon expressed his regret about the book’s avoiding moral complexity in The New Yorker. But her novel makes a great teaching tool for teenagers precisely because its moral view is as clear as that of one of Aesop’s fables. That absence of ambiguity in this novel doesn’t mean the novel is free of challenging ideas, either. Will Serratelli, another literature student at Brown says, “There aren’t many hard moral questions being asked…but it opens up all these other questions that I hadn’t thought aboutbefore. My English teachers always asked, ‘Do you sympathize with this character? Would you want to hang out with them?’ When you give a kid a book where those questions don’t even need to be asked, it forces them to dig deeper.”Mallon’s criticism is accurate in that this novel may present too limited a view of racism in America. That’s especially problematic because it is one of the only books consistently assigned to American students that acknowledges racial discrimination at all. However, To Kill a Mockingbird may owe some of its popularity as a teaching text to the fact that the narrative voice is a white one. Naomi Varnis, an African Studies student at Brown says, “It’s another practice of telling stories about black people through white central characters,” she says.While the novel is undoubtedly worth its place in the classroom, English teachers may do well to consider that it is a white author’s perspective—and ought to be the only beginning of a dialogue about race and never the final word. But as a gateway to more mature ideas, and as a YA (young adult) distillation (提炼)of complex concepts young people may not have grasped before, Lee’s novel is invaluable.65.According the passage, the novel To Kill a Mockingbird can help us_________.A.know more about the past U.S. economic situationB.understand what the real personality of human isC.reduce much anxiety for fear of losing ourselvesD.find and deal with some other complicated questions66.What does the underlined word “trailed” most probably mean in Paragraph 1? ______A.Was as good as.

But narcissism in psychology is more than a single question can capture, which really has three types of narcissism. Problems arise when people discuss narcissism without identifying the form.Grandiose(浮夸)narcissism is the outgoing, extraverted(外向)form. The narcissistic individual believes he or she is smarter, better looking and more important than others. And, of course, he or she gets special treatment for this fact. In fact, some of them can be very charming, likable and enjoy people. On the opposite side, narcissistic relationships are often not very emotionally warm or caring.Vulnerable(脆弱)narcissism is the second flavor of narcissism. It is harder to see than grandiose narcissism. Vulnerable narcissists think they have the rightto get special treatment and greatness but actually have low self-confidence and are not typically extraverteD.Imagine someone living in his mum’s small room. He spends his evenings watching X Factor believing he should be the next famous star singing act. Unfortunately, he hasn’t the confidence to do it and instead becomes a net citizen, who posts offensive, controversial, or divisive materials on an Internet community.The third form of narcissism occurs when narcissism is extreme and causes clinically serious problems in a person’s life – marriages fall apart, friends are lost, a career is over. When this occurs narcissism can be identified as a personality disorder –narcissistic personality disorder (also known as NPD), containing a mix of both grandiose and vulnerable narcissism,Can you change narcissism or NPD? There is no simple answer to this. For grandiose narcissism, what I often do is suggest practicing caring and compassion, doing what you are passionate about rather than what gets you attention and being responsible for your mistakes as well as successes. For vulnerable narcissism I would add to this list with practices that reduce depression and anxiety. Develop a sense of belonging or a friendship network; participate in physical exercise; or practice a form of emptying your mind of thoughts and feelings. For NPD, there is no single, scientifically affirmed treatment of choice. But pay attention to the following. First, people with NPD are often reluctant to enter treatment because in their mind they do not have a problem –everyone else does. Second, it is challenging for doctors to keepwill change the world for the better. Trevor thinks hard and comes up with a plan. Trevor’s plan is a charitable program based on the networking of good deeds. Trevor does a favor for three people, asking each of them to pay the favor forward by doing favors for three other people, and so on, along a branching tree of good deeds. His first good deed is to let a homeless man named Jerry live in his garage, and Jerry pays the favor forward by doing car repairs for Trevor’s mother. Trevor then selects Eugene as his next target and tricks Eugene and Arlene, Trevor’s mother, divorced and single now, into a romantic dinner date. After her date with Eugene, Arlene paid Jerry’s favor forward by forgiving her own mother, Grace, for her mistakes in raising Arlene, and Grace, who is homeless, helps a gang member and the gang member then saves a girl’s life in a hospital, and the girl's father gives the reporter his new car…【写作内容】1.用约30个单词概述上述信息的主要内容;2.用约120个单词发表你的观点,同时提供理由或论据,内容包括:(1)你如何看待Trevor的计划?(2)如果你来完成Trevor的老师布置的这项任务,你的计划是什么?【写作要求】1.写作过程中不能直接引用本试卷中原文语句;2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称;3.把答案写在答题卡上,不必写标题.江苏省苏州市2017届高三1月调研测试英语试卷答案1~5.BAACC 6~10.BAACB 11~15.CBBCB 16~20.CACCA21~25.DCACC 26~30.BDCBD 31~35.DABBA 36~40.CABDC41~45.DADCB 46~50.CBABD 51~55.ACCAB 56~60.CBDAB61~65.CDBCC 66~70.DABAC71.complicated / complex72.Features/ Characteristics73.specially74.lack75.hidden/concealed76.deserves77.responsibility78.relax79.refuse80.changed/changeable81.One possible versionThat’s a touching story about an 11-year-old boy who designed and carried out the “P ay it forward” program and tried to make a difference to change the。
