2024届云南省昆明市第一中学高中新课标高三第一次摸底考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Potala Palace Travel GuideTravel Tips● The travel route is set strictly.● The visiting time is limited in 1 hour.● Watch your steps due to the high altitude.● Bring along an overcoat as it is a bit cold in the hall.Notice● Oxygen bag is prohibited to be taken into the Palace.● Smoking is prohibited and cigarettes are not allowed to be brought into the Palace● Smartphones can be carried with you into the Palace, but please do not take photos.● Liquid is not allowed, including mineral water, which can be purchased at the hill top. Ticket Purchase ProcedureVisitors are required to apply for free reservation tickets with identity documents, such as ID cards and passports one day in advance.The visiting date and exact time, number of visitors and ID document numbers are printed on the reservation tickets. Those visitors who have reservation tickets should make their tickets canceled if they can’t visit the Palace for personal reasons. Otherwise, they will be forbidden to apply again within a week because their names are added to the blacklist.On the following day, visitors should have their reservation tickets and ID documents checked and walk to the ticket office in front of the White Palace to buy the entrance tickets. Then they can start their tour after another security check.How to get to Potala Palace● Take bus 13 to Yaowangshan Bus Stop.● Take bus 8 or 17 to Baita Bus Stop.● Take bus 2, 16 or 26 to Lazhong Bus Stop.● Take airport shuttle to Minhangju Bus Stop.1．What can be brought into Potala Palace?6．What can be inferred about chic grandmas?A．They have a born talent for modeling.B．They willingly experience new things.C．They come from similar backgrounds.D．They concern much about the aging issue.7．Which might be a suitable title for the text?A．Changes in Fashion Week B．Never Too Late to LearnC．Beauty Has No Age Limit D．Interest Is the Best TeacherRecently I’ve been drawn to books which motivate me to look at myself, and hopefully make me a better “me”. The Courage to Be Disliked, by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koya, has a title I just can’t go past.The book has taken Japan by storm, using the theories of philosopher Alfred Adler to create conversations between a fictional philosopher and a young man. The conversations cover many broad, interesting and touchy topics. The philosopher character sticks by the theories of Adler, and explains how we are competent to determine our own lives, and be free of the influence of past experiences and others’ expectations. It’s a way of thinking that allows us to develop the courage to change and to ignore the limitations placed on us.These often complex topics are played out in a conversational style between the two men. While it’s easy to follow the conversations, the topics will knock around in your own head as you work out whether you sit on the side of the philosopher, the young man, or somewhere in between. The book is well-received by readers primarily owing to the fact that it presents two well-balanced perspectives in the arguments. You’ll find yourself doing household chores, or at your keyboard, unpacking all the information in your mind and coming to your own conclusions.You will wholeheartedly agree on some points and want to throw the book at the wall at others. Its content is polarising (两极化的) and I certainly don’t agree with everything the philosopher or the young man says, but I think that’s the point. The Courage to Be Disliked is there to spark a conversation with yourself and do some slightly uncomfortable soul-searching.8．Which category does the book belong to?A．Classic literature.B．Science fiction.C．Philosophy theory.D．Self improvement.9．Which statement might the philosopher character agree with?A．People can take charge of their life course.B．People are free of the influence of their past.C．People should hide their eagerness to change.D．People ought to take their limitations seriously.10．How does the book develop?A．By presenting dialogues.B．By making comparisons.C．By arguing theoretically.D．By listing adequate data.11．Why is the book popular with readers?A．It shows ideas in plain language.B．It offers balanced sides to the topics.C．It displays the scientific statistics.D．It avoids the use of philosophic terms.Meetings. Answering emails. Ever feel too busy at work to get any actual work done? According to a new report from Microsoft, our workplaces have a serious productivity problem. 64% of 31,000 employees surveyed struggled with having the time and energy to do their job. Subjects said that countless meetings were their number one productivity killer. Other reports also supported Microsoft’s study. A report from EY-Parthenon found American worker productivity decreased by 2.7% in the first quarter this year compared with the same period last year, marking the fifth quarter in a row that worker productivity has dropped.Unsurprisingly, Microsoft, with its enormous investment in Al tools, says Al is the solution. Never mind that it was Microsoft’s own technology — Teams, Office, Outlook — that promised productivity savings and delivered the opposite. Should we still put faith in Microsoft to solve the problem with new tools that will “rethink workdays” and “protect focus time for creative work”?So what’s the answer to the productivity puzzle? Big companies need to look no further than small businesses, which have been showing how to be productive. Given that small businesses are still recovering from the pandemic, how are they getting work done when they’ve got fewer employees? The answer is easy. Visit a business with fewer than 100 employees and you will find people there at their desks, behind counters, or in front of machines. There are fewer meetings. There are fewer rules. Employees can make their own choices. Decisions are made without committees. Investments are made with more of a gut(直觉的) feeling. Technology is used when it’s clear that it can save time and make money.Microsoft would have you believe that buying its Al technology will solve productivity issues. AI will definitely make a difference. But it’s not too little technology that’s the problem.12．Which contributes most to the productivity problem?A．Work atmosphere.B．Colleague relationship.C．Office equipment.D．Meeting overload.13．What’s the author’s attitude to Microsoft’s technology?A．Cautious B．Opposed.C．Supportive.D．Ambiguous 14．What makes small businesses productive?A．Rules B．Committees C．Flexibility.D．Investment. 15．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Boosting productivity calls for more than technology.B．The development of Al will solve productivity issues.C．Big companies have a promising future in the Al field.D．Small businesses should make more use of technology.二、七选五三、完形填空四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、建议信46．假定你是李华，外教Mr. Smith正筹划一场辩论比赛，他向同学们征集建议以期有所创新，请你给他写一封邮件，内容包括：1. 辩论主题；2. 创新建议。

2020届云南省昆明市第一中学高三第八次考前适应性训练英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择The long story started four years ago. My dad knew about Barkley long before he met him. “My son, you know, Barkley has a big personality,” he told me. “He’s a top-50 player in the history of the NBA．For many years, he was the number two guy, right after Michael Jordan.”Whenever we attended dinner parties, my dad would talk about his friend Charles Barkley. The first time my dad told the story, I didn’t pretend to know who this person was. Basketball has never been my thing. I googled Charles Barkley. He seemed pretty famous and definitely not like anyone who would be friends with my dad. But, as a modern young man, I knew that people have very loose definitions of the word friend.My dad showed me their texts and photos. I began to think that either my dad was one of the luckiest basketball fans ever or this whole thing was just a joke. But I was wrong. The friendship was real. One day Barkley came to my home to visit my father. Then I know how the relationship began.“It was, like, one of the most random things,” Barkley recalled with a laugh.“I was on a business trip,” my dad said, “and was walking in the hotel lobby, and I saw Charles Barkley.”“I was in Sacramento speaking at a charity event,” Barkley said.“So I just went to say hi and take a picture with him,” my dad said.“I was just sitting at the bar,” Barkley said. “And we were the only two people there. We just sat down and started talking.”“He’s a super-nice guy.”“And before we know it, we looked at each other like, ‘Yo, man, I’m hungry. Let’s go to a restaurant, Barkley said. “It turned into a two-hour dinner. And then we actually went back to the bar and just sat there and talked about for a nother couple of hours.”1．What did the author do the first time his dad told him about his friend Barkley?A．He refused to see him.B．He made fun of his dad.C．He pretended to know him.D．He searched for his information.2．How did the author feel about the friendship between his dad and Barkley at first? A．Admiring. B．Doubted.C．Understanding. D．Disappointed.3．Why did Barkley and the author’s dad go back to the bar?A．They got along well.B．They enjoyed the coffee there.C．They didn’t like the food in the restaurant.D．They were not content with the pictures taken.ENTRESTO is a Heart Failure (HF) medicine that helps your heart so you can keep on doing what you love.

Everyone is piled high with by-products of a culture which in the past 10 years has gone from thinking that a cup of coffee is best enjoyed sitting down, in a break from a busy day, to one where if you’re not constantly rushing, you may get to work to find your desk gone. Gone are the thick white mugs, washed and reused until they broke. Instead, we’ve a vast new industry of disposables (一次性用品) for coffee on the go.Cosla Coffee alone uses more than 100 million disposable coffee cups a year. Add to thatStarbucks, Caffe Nero and other coffee shops; and you get something approaching 500 million paper cups and a billion napkins, plus plastic knives, spoons and sandwich boxes to get rid of, just in the UK, every year.There are no regulations determining what materials they use or how they dispose of any of it. So they do what they like, which turns out to vary wildly. One reason may be that three different government departments are in charge of waste management. Communities Secretary is responsible for local rubbish collection, Environment Secretary for waste policy, and Energy and Climate Change Secretary the aspect of, well, dealing with climate change. When I1 asked the major chains abo ut their recycling policies, Starbucks said, “We’re aiming to make our cups recyclable in the near future.” Its salad containers are biodegradable (可生物降解的) and its sandwich containers, being a sandwich themselves of paper and film, are only recyclable once they’re torn apart. However, you don’t see many people doing that.Costa’s cardboard cups can’t be recycled, because although the cardboard is recyclable, the ink and the glue aren’t. So it’s planning to use vegetable ink and degradable glue on its cups. 8．Why does the author compare the old days with today in the beginning?A．To present a busy day. B．To recall the sweet past.C．To introduce the main topic. D．To show the symbol of a culture. 9．The underlined word “mugs” in paragraph 1 can be best replaced by_______.A．bowls B．bagsC．chopsticks D．cups10．What can we learn about recycling?A．The problem of wasting has been under control.B．There are clear rules about materials disposables use.C．The sandwich containers of Starbucks can be recyclable.D．Communities Secretary is responsible for local rubbish recycle.11．What can be served as the best title of the passage?A．The Culture of Westerners B．The Future of Coffee ChainsC．The Change of Mankind’s Lifestyle D．The Environment Cost of Takeaway CoffeeCatching up with e-mail while you eat lunch? Watching television? How often do you eat while doing something else like checking out a web site or watching television?Results of a recent study indicate that distracted (注意力分散的) eaters are less able to recall what they ate and more likely to snack later. As an alternative, mindful eating may help you avoid extra pounds and unnecessary snacking. Researchers had 22 volunteers eat a meal while playing computer games and 22 others eat the same meal in the same amount of time while undistracted. They told the subjects it was a test of the effect of food on memory, but actually they were testing how full people felt after a meal, how much they ate at a “taste test”30 minutes later, and how successfully they could recall exactly what they ate.Results showed that those who ate while distracted felt significantly less full just after the meal, and they were worse at remembering what they had eaten than those who were not distracted. In addition, at the taste-test session 30 minutes later, distracted eaters consumed twice as many cookies as those who were not distracted. The senior author Jeffrey advises, “Avoiding eating in front of a computer screen might temper the tendency to snack later in the day. Memory plays an important role in the regulation of food intake,” he said, “and distractions during eating ruin that.So, after reading this article, you definitely know the easiest way to keep fit. If you want to watch your waistline, i t’s wise to focus on the food before you.12．What do we know about the study?A．It is a two-session test.B．It lasted for 30 minutes.C．22 volunteers took part in it.D．The volunteers knew its purpose.13．The purpose of the test is to ________.A．prove harm of snacksB．select the most delicious snackC．advocate a healthy eating habitD．find out relation between food and memory14．What does the underlined phrase “temper the tendency to snack” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Tend to have snack. B．Be less likely to snack.C．Change the attitude to snacking. D．Have a good temper after snacking. 15．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Focusing on the food helps you keep fit.B．Eating while watching TV does harm to health.C．Memory plays an important role in losing weight.D．Undistracted eating leads to consuming more food.二、信息匹配Every student prefers to get high scores in their exams. But how can you effectively improve your memory and perform well in your exam? Try the following methods.● Try the Memory Pal ace.For example, if you want to memorize some English words, you might store “furniture, television.” in your living room and “fridge, cooker...” in the kitchen. 16．Through this way, you can memorize these words easily.● Create your own songs.This method has been proven in several studies as a way of sending information to memory. You can use your favorite songs to recreate new songs with information you need to remember. 17．● Take some deep breaths.18．If you are stressed you will have a more difficult time recalling information during an exam. You should put some energy into de-stressing but “turning of” stress is easier said than done. That’s why scientists recommend practice tests to you. Practice te sts are not only a scientifically supported means of improving memory recall but they stand up to stressful situations.● 19．If you are feeling distracted, do some exercise. Studies show that those who have exercised for 15 minutes and then complete a memory task, complete tasks faster than those who haven’t exercised. Even a simple walk can make a difference.There are so many suggested methods for you. 20．If you know that studying alone works best for you, go to self-study room often when you finish your classes at school. A．Reread your notes.B．Try a mini workout.C．We know exams are stressful.D．Skip out all the practice tests on purpose.E.You need to think about the way that suits you best.F.The more interesting you make them, the better the result will be.G.Then you can mentally travel through your house to recall each word.三、完形填空Last year I took on an assignment to help with people who live on public welfare. What I wanted to do was to show that everybody has the 21 to live on their own, and all I have to do is to 22 them to do what they dream of.I met a group of 23 people in the southern county. The first thing I 24after I shook hands with everybody was that I would like to know what: their 25 were. Everyone stared at me as if I were kind of 26 . Someone replied, “I don’t have dreams.

A young 32 shared that she wanted to bea secretary but 33 her three children stood in her way. I asked, “Is there anybody in this group who would look after her children while she gets some job 34 at the community college?” One 35 woman raised her hand. A job opportunity was 36 and a promising “secretary” was on the way to school.Three months later, the tall man found a full-time job as a 37 handyman. The woman who looked after the three children became a professional 38 . These small successes 39 allowed the group to see dreams and 40 . We can make a difference through caring about others.21．A．promise B．right C．ability D．ambition 22．A．urge B．inspire C．remind D．pull 23．A．unemployed B．clever.

As a college student, I am still busy with maintaining my grades and staying involved in my school’s community, but I decided to get out of my comfort zone and volunteer for America Recycles Day. And this turned out to be an awesome experience.The organization Ouachita Green put together this event, which allowed people from the Monroe area of Louisiana to bring in their recyclables, free of charge. Unfortunately, Louisiana is lacking in environmentally-friendly initiatives(倡议) so recycling is not offered to most people in our community. In contrast, it is required by law to recycle back in my home New Jersey. This truth astonished me, but more importantly, it encouraged me to seek change.I meant to make a difference. Through joint efforts, my classmates and I ended up starting the Green Club at the University of Louisiana. It focuses on creating a green attitude within the university and the greater Monroe area. While working on it, I met a group of ambitious high school students, who shared the same concern about the environment as us. While talking, we decided that working together would benefit not only the organizations at our schools, but also the community as a whole. Is we let the community know we are serious, there is an even better chance that we will succeed and influence others.If you are hesitant to volunteer or help out with an event in your community, my recommendation is to go ahead and do it. Even if it may be out of your comfort zone, it is important to put yourself out there. At the end of the day, you miss all of the shots you don’t take.4.What surprised the author greatly?A.

On the other hand, competition can also have some disadvantages, though. Some industries tend to be more competitive in the workplace than others. For instance, those in the sales field will typically be more competitive with co-workers than individuals in other fields, such as information technology. Nevertheless, a little competition in even the least competitive industries can be positive.Competition in the workplace can create an environment where employees push each other to exceed their normal limits, which can result in increased production, both at an individual level and among the entire workforce as a whole. As individual production numbers increase, so do those of the entire team of workers who seek to outdo one another. Competition can be rewarded with bonuses or various types of rewards.Workplace competition can also inspire a commitment to self-improvement. While financial motivations and bonuses are always a plus to get the competition going, those who see the bigger picture may take the competition as an opportunity to better themselves in the process of winning the competition. Self-improvement may include actions like changing work habits to be more organized, using visualization and goal setting to achieve goals and simply performing higher quality work.Not all competition in the workplace necessarily has to take place at the individual level. Competition can bring about a sense of teamwork in the workplace when workers are placed in groups and asked to compete with one another, which can have a number of positive results that come from workers cooperating with each other. For example, workers can learn the value of communication and helping someone else, both of which have an influence on other areas of work like customer service.8.What does the underlined word “exceed” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.

Now, one new AI tool could change the way university students evaluate their professor. The tool is called Hubert, a teacher evaluation tool that appears as an AI-powered chatbot. Instead of filling out a form, students use a chat window to give feedback(反馈) on the course and their professor. Afterwards, Hubert categorizes the students’ comments for the professor to review.Hubert is free for educators to use. More than 600 teachers have used it already. The goal of the new Hubert program is to improve education by giving teachers detailed, organized feedback from students.Viktor Nordmark, from Sweden, started the company in 2015, with several friends. Before creating Hubert, the founders asked teachers what would improve their teaching skills. The answer, Nordmark said, was qualitative(定性的) feedback from their students. In other words, teachers wanted students to write detailed answers to open-ended questions about their experiences in class.Qualitative feedback is different from the survey responses, which students are often asked to provide at the end of a class. “This kind of data takes a lot of time for professors to collect and analyze,” Nordmark said. And for the students, it can also be “really boring to fill out.” So Nordmark and his friends designed Hubert as a compromise between a traditional survey and a personal interview. “You can reach a really large crowd, but you can also get really qualitative data back,” Nordmark said.Now, when Hubert receives comments from students, it compares them with the information already in its system to organize the data. Nordmark says that Hubert will continue to get smarter as it receives more comments in the future. Nordmark says he and his co-founders have plans to make Hubert more flexible and accurate. They hope to give teachers the possibility of selecting their own evaluation questions.12.What can be inferred about traditional teacher evaluation?A. Its data is easy to collectB.
