2021年四川乐山沫若中学高三12月月考英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择University Room RegulationsApproved and Prohibited ItemsThe following items are approved for use in residential (住宿的) rooms: electric blankets, hair dryers, personal computers, radios, televisions and DVD players. Items that are not allowed in student rooms include: candles, ceiling fans, fireworks, waterbeds, sun lamps and wireless routers. Please note that any prohibited items will be taken away by the Office of Residence Life.Access to Residential RoomsStudents are provided with a combination (组合密码) for their room door locks upon check-in. Do not share your room door lock combination with anyone. The Office of Residence Life may change the door lock combination at any time at the expense of the resident if it is found that the student has shared the combination with others. The fee is $25 to change a room combination.Cooking PolicyStudents living in buildings that have kitchens are only permitted to cook in the kitchen. Students must clean up after cooking. This is not the responsibility of housekeeping staff. Kitchens that are not kept clean may be closed for use. With the exception of using a small microwave oven (微波炉) to heat food, students are not permitted to cook in their rooms. Pet PolicyNo pets except fish are permitted in student rooms. Students who are found with pets, whether visiting or owned by the student, are subject to an initial fine of $100 and a continuing fine of $50 a day per pet. Students receive written notice when the fine goes into effect. If, one week from the date of written notice, the pet is not removed, the student is referred to the Student Court.Quiet HoursResidential buildings must maintain an atmosphere that supports the academic mission of the University. Minimum quiet hours in all campus residences are 11:00 pm to 8:00 am Sunday through Thursday. Quiet hours on Friday and Saturday nights are 1:00 am to 8:00 am.Students who violate quiet hours are subject to a fine of $25.1.Which of the following items are allowed in student rooms?A.Ceiling fans and waterbeds.B.Wireless routers and radios.C.Hair dryers and candles.D.TVs and electric blankets.2.What if a student is found to have told his combination to others?A.The combination should be changed.B.The Office should be charged.C.He should replace the door lock.D.He should check out of the room.3.What do we know about the cooking policy?A.A microwave oven can be used.B.Cooking in student rooms is permitted.C.A housekeeper is to clean up the kitchen.D.Students are to close kitchen doors after cooking.4.If a student has kept a cat in his room for a week since the warning, he will face _____. A.parent visits B.a fine of $100C.the Student Court D.a written noticeThere was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. No more, though. Today, a gentleman will probably look out of the window, or, if he feels a bit guilty(内疚), hides behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You can't entirely blame(完全责备)men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be referred to as the weaker sex. A whole generation(代)of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes(态度). Hold a door open for some women and you're likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors(能力低下的人), unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill; though on second thoughts perhaps that's not such a bad idea.It's no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness andconsideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, automatic male (men) politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.Maybe that's worth standing in the bus or train.5.The new generation of women wants to be ________.A.treated not as the weaker sexB.treated as the weaker sexC.cared for on buses and trainsD.better treated than before6.According to the passage, which of the following is not correct?A.Some women may get angry if you open the doors for them.B.Girls don't want you to pay for meal at all.C.Some women may criticized (批评) you if you show too much politeness to them. D.A girl may be unhappy if you insist on paying her share of the bill.7.From this passage, we know that ________.A.women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB.men have given up some politeness they used to show to womenC.women often get angry if you are polite to themD.women should stand in the bus or train8.The passage mainly tells us ________.A.gentlemen and ladies have equal rights on a bus or trainB.ladies wonder why gentlemen offer their seats to themC.gentlemen consider politeness to be more important than ladies doD.the change in manners has taken place between men and womenI have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals don’t judge them. They trust animals in ways they don’t with humans.Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that theirown “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation (合作)and sympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining(维持)friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.It’s clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane(人道)societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a master’s degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done. It opens the door to understandi ng, trust, cooperation and hope. There’s a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.9.The author’s course is welcomed by the prisoners because ______.A.they consider animals their best friendsB.they are curious about animal kingdomC.they feel it easier to get along with animalsD.they are more familiar with animal behavior10.The author used wolves as an example to ______.A.provide the prisoners with more knowledgeB.explain the cruel side of group-living animalsC.help the prisoners realize the importance of teamworkD.inform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble11.We can infer from the text that some prisoners ______.A.have turned over a new leafB.are required to attend the courseC.are willing to learn working skillsD.prefer humane education to science二、其他Melissa Poe was 9 years old when she began a campaign for a cleaner environment by writing a letter to the then President Bush. Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards across the country.The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment (Kids F.A.C.E.) in 1989. There are now 300,000 members of Kids FACE worldwide and is the world's largest youth environmental organization.Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a "Children's Forest" project in every national park. In 1992, she was invited as one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil as part of the V oices of the Future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the Caring Institute.Since the organization started, Kids F.A.C.E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees! Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kid's Yards – the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (栖息地) and now Kids F.A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping."Starting the club turned out to be a way to help people get involved with the environment. Club members started doing things like recycling, picking up litter and planting trees as well as inviting other kids to join their club.""We try to tell kids that it's not OK to be lazy," she explains. "You need to start being a responsible, environmentally friendly person now, right away, before you become a resource-sucking adult."12.Kids F.A.C.E is _____.A.a program to help students with writingB.a project of litter recyclingC.a campaign launched by President BushD.a club of environmental protection13.What can we learn about Poe?A.She was awarded a prize in Brazil.B.She donated billboard across the country.C.She got positive responses for her effortsD.She joined the National Park Service.14.Kid’s Yards is _____.A.established in a national park.B.started to protect wildlifeC.a wildlife- raising projectD.an entertainment park for kids.15.Which of the following can be inferred from the text?A.Adults are resource-sucking peopleB.Poe sought help from a youth organizationC.Kids F.A.C.E members are from the U.S.D.Kids are urged to save natural resources.三、七选五根据短文内容。

Years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 1 his company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always 2 his success to it.At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree, 3 to return home, starting a company. Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the 4 made through years. At the airport he had to accept the 5 customs check.The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 6 . Glen knew that carrying such goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 7 for his watch. So while checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 8 fake(假货). When he was 9 of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, 10 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces 11 hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 12 . Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 13 . For many times of entry-exit 14 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefull y,and 15 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 16 reusing and carrying fake goods, he would be 17 by law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind afterboarding the plane for long.After that, he often told the story to his family and his employees.

The National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) led the effort.The United States, unlike other nations, has never had the same school standards across the country. What is the reason? Education is not discussed in the Constitution. That document limits the responsibilities of the federal government. Other responsibilities, like education, fall to each state.Local control of education probably was a good idea two hundred years ago. People stayed in the same place and schools knew what students needed to learn. But today, people move to different cities. And some people work at jobs that did not exist even twenty years ago.Many American educators say that getting a good education should not depend on where you live. They say that some states have lowered their standards in order to increase student scores on tests required by the No Child Left behind Act.Kara Schlosser is communications director for the CCSSO. She says the new standards clearly state what a student should be able to do to be successful in college and work.Forty--eight states have already shown approval for the standards. Two states refuse to accept the idea. Critics say that working toward the same standards in every state will not guarantee excellence for all. Some educators in Massachusetts say adopting the national standards will hurt their students because the state standards are even higher. Others say the change will be too costly, requiring new textbooks and different kinds of training for teachers. Still others fear federal control.Supporters say the standards are goals and do not tell states or teachers how to teach. They also say the federal government is not forcing acceptance. However, approving the standards will help states qualify (取得资格) for some federal grant money.【1】What would be the best title for the passage?A.Local Control of Education Standards out of DateB.American National Education Standards under ConsiderationC.Education Standards in Each State--Good or Bad.D.Acceptance of the New Standards in the United States【2】Why is local control of education no 1onger a good idea today?A.Because local standards are limited.B.Because it is required by the federal government.C.Because people today moves among states more often than before.D.Because America has never had the same school standards throughout the country.【3】Some people are against the nationa1 education standards because__________A.the standards are higher than those of each stateB.they are not yet prepared for the new standardsC.the standards may prevent some students gaining excellenceD.they don't want the federal government to train their teachers【4】If a state agrees to accept the national standards, it will probably get ________.A.more students B.advice on how to improve teachingC.better textbooks D.money from the federal government2.One girl decided to study judo(柔道) although she had lost her left arm in a car accident.The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was doing well. So she couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the instructor had taught her only one move.“Instructor,” the girl finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the instructor replied.Not quite understanding, but believing in her teacher, the girl kept training.Several months later, the instructor took the girl to her first tournament. Surprising herself, the girl easily won herfirst two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, her opponent became impatient and charged. The girl skillfully used her one move to win the match. Still amazed by her success, the girl was now in the finals.This time, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the girl appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. She was about to stop the match when the instructor intervened(干预).“No,” the instructor insisted, “Let her continue.”Soon after the match restarted, her opponent made a serious mistake: she dropped her guard. Instantly, the girl used her move to pin her opponent. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was the champion.On the way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the girl gathered the courage to ask what was really on her mind.“Instructor, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”“You won for two reasons,” the teacher answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”The girl’s biggest weakness had become her biggest strength.【1】What can we learn about the girl?A.She was disabled in an accident.B.She disliked judo training.C.She learnt several moves.D.She won the first two matches hard.【2】The underlined word “overmatched” probably means .A.impatient B.depressed C.defeated D.trapped【3】The girl won the championship because of .A.her bravery B.her skills C.her tricks D.her strength【4】Which of the following is probably the best title of the story?A.The Story of a Girl.B.A Disabled Girl.C.Defense Matters.D.Weakness Becomes Strength.3.Puerto Rico may be part of the USA but its music and dance is a mixture of both Spanish and African rhythms. The country, as a result, is a mixture of very new and very old. It exhibits the open American way of yet retains the more formal Spanish influences. This is reflected in the architecture, not just the contrast between the colonial and the modern in urban areas but also in the countryside, where older buildings sit side by side with concrete schools and buildings.However, if you do not wander beyond the tourist areas on the coast, you will not experience the real Puerto Rico. Old volcanic mountains, long inactive, occupy a large part of the interior(内陆), with the highest peak, Cerro de Punta, at 1,338m in the Cordillera Central. North of the Cordillera is the karst (岩溶)country where the limestone(石灰石)has been acted upon by water to produce a series of small steep hills and deep holes. The mountains are surrounded by a coastal plain with the Atlantic shore beaches cooled all the year round by trade winds.The population is 3.8 million, of which about 1.5 million live in San Juan, although about another two million Puerto Ricans live in the USA Average life expectancy is 73.8 years and GDP per capita is US $12,212, the highest in Latin America, although not up to the level of mainland USA. Most Puerto Ricans do not speak English and less than 30% speak it fluently. Second generation Puerto Ricans who were born in New York but who have returned to the island, are called Nuyoricans. The people are very friendly and hospitable but there is crime, liked to drugs and unemployment.【1】What are the disadvantages of Puerto Rico?A.Too many Puerto Ricans live in the USAB.Few people in Puerto Rico can speak EnglishC.Puerto Rico’s GDP is lower than that of the USAD.Social problem connected with drugs and lack of jobs.【2】We can learn from the passage that Puerto Rico _________.A.is a state of the United States B.used to be ruled by SpainC.is an agricultural country D.is gently affected by Africa【3】Nuyorican is a person who _______.A.has been living in New YorkB.is living in New YorkC.was born in New York but has returned to Puerto RicoD.has got the citizenship of America【4】What does the underlined word “retains” mean?A.loses B.keeps C.enjoys D.returns4.Do you want to live forever? By the year 2050, you might actually get your wish — if you are willing to leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits (半导体电路).But long before then, perhaps as early as 2020, some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality (虚拟的永生).Researchers are confident that technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your life. Whatever you see and hear, all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and added to your personal chronicles (履历). By the year 2030, it may be possible to catch your nervous systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and emotions.Researchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as Soul Catcher. Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher. It would use a wearable supercomputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to micro sensors under your scalp(头皮) and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no longer be required.At first, the Soul Catcher's companion system — the Soul Reader — might have trouble copying your thoughts in complete details. Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible. But these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities (永生实体). Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine.For people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortality would not be as useless as they thought. People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human race forever. And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past. History would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society.【1】The main idea of this passage is that _______.A.human beings long for living foreverB.there are many difficulties in making the Soul CatcherC.people might live forever as technology developsD.the invention of Soul Catcher has great importance【2】According to this passage, a Soul Catcher will be ______.A.a new machine on which research measures have already been madeB.a new invention in order to catch and keep human's thoughts and emotionsC.made by British scientists to offer something that looks like living foreverD.made of silicon circuits which can catch people's nervous activity【3】According to the writer, semblance of immortality is ______.A.to be a reality sooner or later B.far from certainC.just an idea that couldn't t be realized at all D.a fading hope【4】The meaning of the underlined word "revitalize" in the fourth paragraph is close to .A.make dead B.make famous C.make known D.make active5.When people hear that I’m the youngest person to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean, they all have the same question: How did a 22-year old woman row a 19-foot boat for 70 days through high winds and crashing waves? Well, the biggest difficulty for me wasn’t physical. By the time I decided to do the ocean row, I had already biked 3,300 miles cross-country, run across the Mojave Desert, and swum the 325-mile length of the Allegheny River. No, the tough part would be mental: How would I handle the loneliness, the boredom of the vast sea?I set off on January 3, 2010. I set my sights on getting past the quarter-way mark, which would take about 20 days.Day 20, January 22, was gray and cloudy. I could have done something to celebrate, such as treating myself to a chocolate bar. But I didn’t.I was suffering from terrible loneliness. I hadn’t seen landing over two weeks. Every day was beginning to feel the same. Eating, rowing, sleeping, watch the sky, watch the ocean.Then, around sunset, I saw something move on the horizon. They were dolphins! They circled my boat. Suddenly I felt so grateful. They had come to help me celebrate, just when I needed them. I rowed at full strength for the next 20 minutes with the dolphins around. By the time we went our separate ways, I was no longer lonely. Better yet, I knew I would be okay.I did make it, all 2,817 miles. I hit the coast of Guyana, South America, on March 14, after 70 days and five hours at sea. My ocean row raised $70,000 for the Blue Planet Run Foundation, which funds drinking water programs around the world. I know some athletes spend the entire journey imagining the end, and that helps them get through. But for me, the secret is to focus on the moment, where you experience the personal growth — those moments of awareness of being connected to the sun, the weather, and the waves. And, on the best day of my life, those dolphins, which freed myself from terrible loneliness.【1】Which is the step taken as part of preparation for the tough row?A.swimming the 325-mile length of the riverB.answering the same question raised by peopleC.running 3,300 miles cross-countryD.biking across the Mojave Desert【2】What does the underlined part mean?A.I didn’t have any chocolate bar for energy.B.I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate my first goal.C.It’s a pity not to celebrate my passing the quarter of the wayD.It’s a pity not to treat myself to a chocolate bar on Day 20.【3】What can be implied from the last two paragraphs?A.Imagination was an effective way to help me get through.B.The Blue Planet Run Foundation helped me a lot.C.The dolphins accompanied me to reach my destinationD.The unexpected dolphins swept away my loneliness【4】Which can be the best title of the passage?A.The day I stopped being lonelyB.The only challenge for a 22-year oldC.How to overcome loneliness at sea.D.How to row alone across the Atlantic6.阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卷相应的位置上(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards across the country.The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment (Kids F.A.C.E.) in 1989. There are now 300,000 members of Kids FACE worldwide and is the world's largest youth environmental organization.Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a "Children's Forest" project in every national park. In 1992, she was invited as one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil as part of the V oices of the Future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the Caring Institute.Since the organization started, Kids F.A.C.E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees! Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kid's Yards –the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (栖息地) and now Kids F.A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping."Starting the club turned out to be a way to help people get involved with the environment. Club members started doing things like recycling, picking up litter and planting trees as well as inviting other kids to join their club.""We try to tell kids that it's not OK to be lazy," she explains. "You need to start being a responsible, environmentally friendly person now, right away, before you become a resource-sucking adult."25.

Which of the following can be inferred from the text?A. Adults are resource-sucking peopleB. Poe sought help from a youth organizationC. Kids F.A.C.E members are from the U.S.D. Kids are urged to save natural resources.CThere was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. No more, though. Today, a gentleman will probably look out of the window, or, if he feels a bit guilty(内疚), hides behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You can't entirely blame(完全责备)men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be referred to as the weaker sex. A whole generation(代)of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes(态度). Hold a door open for some women and you're likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors(能力低下的人), unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill; though on second thoughts perhaps that's not such a bad idea.It's no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, automatic male (men) politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.Maybe that's worth standing in the bus or train.29.The new generation of women wants to be ________.A.treated not as the weaker sexB.treated as the weaker sexC.cared for on buses and trainsD.better treated than before30.According to the passage, which of the following is not correct?A.Some women may get angry if you open the doors for them.B.Girls don't want you to pay for meal at all.C.Some women may criticized (批评) you if you show too much politeness to them.D.A girl may be unhappy if you insist on paying her share of the bill.31.From this passage, we know that ________.A.women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB.men have given up some politeness they used to show to womenC.women often get angry if you are polite to themD.women should stand in the bus or train32.The passage mainly tells us ________.A.gentlemen and ladies have equal rights on a bus or trainB.ladies wonder why gentlemen offer their seats to themC.gentlemen consider politeness to be more important than ladies doD.the change in manners has taken place between men and womenDI have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals don’t judge them. They trust animals in ways they don’t with humans.Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior”is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation(合作)and sympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them.I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model fordeveloping and maintaining(维持)friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.It’s clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane(人道)societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a master’s degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. There’s a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.33. The author’s course is welcomed by the prisoners because ______.A. they consider animals their best friendsB. they are curious about animal kingdomC. they feel it easier to get along with animalsD. they are more familiar with animal behavior34. The author used wolves as an example to ______.A. provide the prisoners with more knowledgeB. explain the cruel side of group-living animalsC. help the prisoners realize the importance of teamworkD. inform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble35. We can infer from the text that some prisoners ______.A. have turned over a new leafB. are required to attend the courseC. are willing to learn working skillsD. prefer humane education to science第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容。
