Thomas Affleck sold huge numbers of Rosa Laevigata to large homesteads〔家园〕 and plantations(种植园), 46 the rose as a fence. The Cherokee Rose naturalized successfully and is now a common sight blooming in the South during spring.Cherokee Rose is often confused with Rosa Bracteata (Macartney Rose) which is 47 in form, but is so easy to overspread that biologists place it in the category of pest．Macartney Rose flowers in summer, while the Cherokee Rose flowers in spring．Cherokee Rose is a climber which blooms once a year, bearing large, white flowers, each with five petals (花瓣)．It is energetic, climbing upwards of 20 feet．Make sure that you have plenty of room for this historic, yet non – native and thus thankfully, non – invasive rose．36．A．However B．Thus C．So D．Occasionally 37．A．exhibiting B．surrounding C．telling D．drafting 38．A．prejudiced B．supreme C．sorrowful D．disturbing 39．A．trend B．voyage C．slavery D．journey 40．A．strength B．torture C．privilege D．fame41．A．fell B．trembled C．floated D．stuck42．A．crime B．trail C．debts D．tears43．A．resists B．represents C．repeats D．shows44．A．below B．in C．along D．under45．A．abstract B．moving C．loving D．terrifying 46．A．constituting B．composing C．recommending D．reserving 47．A．similar B．familiar C．different D．interestingSECTION C (12’)Directions:Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.With the development of the fast-paced society , people are so busy these days that many people have 48 time to cook .

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AAbout six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a yo ung boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?〞 And the boy — who could not have been more than seven or eight years old — replied. “Frankly, I’ve been feel ing a little depressed lately.〞This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed (确认) my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed〞, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑) , many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.56．According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.A．a sure sign of a mental problem in a childB．a mental state present in all humans, including childrenC．something that cannot be avoided in children’s mental developmentD．something hardly to be expected in a young child 57．Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________.A．through connection with societyB．gradually and under guidanceC．naturally without being taughtD．through watching television58．According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from ______.A．the widespread influence of televisionB．the poor arrangement of teaching contentC．the fast pace of human scientific developmentD．the rising standard of living59．What does the author think of communication through print for children?A．It enables children to gain more social information.B．It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.C．It helps children to read and write well.D．It can control what children are to learn.60．What does the author think of the change in today’s children?A．He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny.B．He thinks the change worthy of note.C．He considers it a rapid development.D．He seems to be upset about it.BPart AIn the United Kingdom was hit again by foot-and-mouth disease, the first time since the 1960s, causing a national crisis. However, much of the panic and confusion was spread largely as a result of ignorance of the disease.Foot-and-mouth is a highly contagious(传染性的) disease found in Africa, SouthAmerica, Asia, the Middle East and parts of Europe. It affects cloven-footed(偶啼) domestic animals such as cows, pigs, sheep and goats, as well as wild animals like rats and deer and zoo animals such as elephants. Horses, however, cannot contract 〔感染〕the disease.It is very rare for humans to catch the disease. Indeed, only one case has been recorded in Great Britain and that was in 1967.Part BFoot-and-mouth disease is insidious〔潜伏的〕 and can be spread by direct and indirect contact with infected animal. The disease can be spread on the wind, and can be spread by people, equipment or vehicles which have been in contact with the disease. Although the authorities do not really know where this latest outbreak of the disease originated, it can enter a country in frozen meat imported from other countries where the disease is common. Unlike Mad Cow Disease (BSE) and the human equivalent CJD, foot-and-mouth has no implication〔牵连〕 for the human food chain. Any meat, milk, cheese and other dairy products can be consumed quite safely.Part CIt seems that the only way to control the disease is to kill infected animals. There is no cure for the disease, and although adult animals normally recover in 2-3 weeks, they sadly remain carriers of the virus for up to two years.From the time the disease was first reported to the time the epidemic〔流行〕was officially declared over, one and a half million and more domestic animals were slaughtered and large areas of the countryside were closed to the public. These areas included parks, woods and forests, and various leisure attractions situated in the countryside.61. The main purpose of writing this passage is_______.A.to warn people of the danger of the diseaseB.to describe the disaster by the diseaseC.to share some of the facts about the diseaseD.to declare the success in control of the disease62. Foot-and-mouth disease is insidious because it is spread_______.A. by farmers and farm vehiclesB. in so many different waysC. by being carried in the airD. mainly by people who have been in contact with infected animals63. That foot-and-mouth disease is different from Mad Cow Disease mainly lies in that______.A. it affects the human food chainB. people cannot consume dairy productsC. it is found in frozen meatD. meat is still safe to eat64. The underlined word “they〞 in Part C means ________.A. diseaseB. infected animalsC. adult animalsD. 2-3 weeks65. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Horses cannot contract the foot-and-mouth disease.B. The record that humans caught the disease was first kept in 1967.C. Frozen meat imported from other countries can carry the disease.D. Animals infected can be cured in 2-3 weeks.CSome years ago industries had more freedom than they have now，and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them；often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes there were real disasters(灾难) which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes．Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore．At such times， there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries；however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell．A third department looks at the places where people work，and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course，new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products．66.The main topic of the passage is_________.A. conditions in the work placeB. the freedom of industries in the pastC. changes in industrial productionD. the safety and health of workers andcustomers67. It can be inferred from the passage that in the past______.A. workers often got ill because of the poor working conditionsB. companies were free to put out any products they wanted toC. many people were killed by dangerous productsD. industries were as careful in management as they are today68. It is implied in the passage that_________.A. governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of productsB. governments paid little attention to the safety of productsC. government officials often did not listen to scientistsD. in the past no safety laws were introduced by governments69. Some years ago safety rules_________.A. were put forward due to scientists’ recommendationsB. came into being as a result of the workers’ demandsC. were introduced because quite a number of people were killed or seriously injuredD. were effective enough to protect workers and customers70.The special departments protect customers and workers in manyways EXCEPT by_________.A. testing new productsB. controlling the sale of productsC. designing new productsD. inspecting work placesPart 1V Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)[Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORD S for each answer.When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high-speed Internet connection. It was pretty cool.Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send e-mail that can read mails to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown. The software, which is free, can be downloaded at Facemail .Facemail faces are lifelike, and they copy emotions based on the ones that you put in your text. For example, type in X, and Rachel blows a kiss.]Life FX, the company that develops the Facemail is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? Besides, the company is talking with Whirlpool company about the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom can’t be at home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I am a fan.

Answer the questions according to theinformation given in the passage.〔10 marks〕These days, Americans worry most about an economic recovery that President Obama calls "painfully slow". But on Saturday millions will remember the day al-Qaida terrorists flew airplanes into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington. Another hijacked plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania when passengers rebelled. Close to three thousand people died that day. Next year will be a big anniversary, ten years since the day Americans call 9-11.But this September eleventh comes at an uneasy time. A large number of Americans say they oppose plans to build an Islamic center near the World Trade Center site in New York. This week attention centered on a Christian minister(基督教事工) with a small following in the state of Florida.Reverend Terry Jones said he would mark the 9-11 anniversary by burning copies of the Quran(可兰经). He said he wanted to send a message to Islamic extremists. He said, "We are not hateful toward Muslims. We are not aiming this at Muslims, we are aiming this at Sharia law(伊斯兰教教法)."Political and religious leaders around the world had condemned him. The plan even led the State Department to warn American travelers to avoid places where protests(抗议) might take place.President Obama said burning Qurans could endanger American troops and invite more extremism. Defense Secretary Robert Gates called Mr. Jones on Thursday to urge him to reconsider.Administration officials called the idea of burning Qurans "un-American." But they also agreed that it would be within constitutional rights, like protesters who burn American flags. The Constitution guarantees free speech and bars the government from restricting the practice of religion.81.According to this news article how many things made this September 11 uneasy? (Nomore than 1 word)82.What did the State Department think would happen after Reverend revealed his plan?(No more than 4 words)83.How did the government prevent the situation becoming worse?

乌鲁木齐市第十二中学 2022-2023学年高三下学期三月月考英语试题总分120分考试时间120分钟一、阅读理解（共30分）Best Cycling Holiday Destinations In EuropeGirona,SpainGirona is surrounded by fantastic and easily accessible cycle routes that pretty much offer any riding you would ever need or want. The relatively traffic-free roads mean that there is little trouble in getting out of the town and into the hills. Girona’s old town itself is a beauty and with plenty of places serving great food and great coffee, there’s a certain magic to the place.Algarve,PortugalPortugal is a cycling destination that has grown in popularity thanks to the large variety of roads in the country. It is not too dissimilar to what you’ll find in the most popular cycling regions,but Portugal just feels that little bit less main stream. Away from the bike, there is also plenty of food to sink your teeth into and local wines to try.Northern Scotland,UKOne of the best places to tour in all of Europe is in fact Scotland. Particularly adventurous cyclists can take advantage of Scotland’s rules on wild camping-Scottish law allows members of the public the right to roam(漫游)，while English law does not. It’s a totally liberating way to explore a place and Scotland might just be one of the best ones to do it due to the beautiful scenery and rural landscapes.Julian Alps,SloveniaSlovenia is one of the relatively new kids on the block when it comes to European cycling getaways. A great destination for mountain bikers and road cyclists alike, the country has plenty of brilliant off-road routes and rideable,tricky roads that take you high up into the Julian Alps. It’s no surprise once you’ve ridden here that the country punches well above itsweight in terms of producing world class bike racers.1．What do the first two destinations have in common?A．They supply local wines for visitors.B．They are completely traffic free.C．They have fewer riding routes.D．They serve delicious food.2．Which of the following is your best choice if you love adventure?A．Algarve,Portugal.B．Girona,Spain.C．Northern Scotland,UK.D．Julian Alps,Slovenia.3．What do we know about Julian Alps, Slovenia?A．It produces brilliant mountain climbers.B．It has a short cycling history.C．It welcomes wild campers.D．It is known for rural landscapes.Teenagers’ fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: “First, you need to find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier. ”Dr. Lopez points out that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weightproblem. “Inactive” means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy. “Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories.” Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. “Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger,” said Dr. Lopez. The same principle applies to active teenagers.Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. “These are really important in order to prevent injuries,” Dr. Lopez said. Someweight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person’s strength.4．Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important? A．It can make the teenagers grow taller.B．It can help teenagers become healthier. C．It can help to burn up calories.D．It can increase teenagers’ strength. 5．What can we learn from the passage?A．Active people always have a high fitness level.B．Overweight people always take more exercise.C．Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight.D．Keeping fit means changing teenagers’ lifestyle.6．In order to prevent injuries, you should do some ________ exercises.A．walking B．stretching and bending C．ridingD．weight-training7．What is the best title for the passage?A．Doing exercises B．Teenagers’ Fitness C．Different Lifestyles D．Overweight TeenagersWhen Frank Herbert ordered pizza from Pizza Huts, he was surprised that Judit, at such an old age, worked as a delivery driver. That's when the 89-year-old man first came into the sight of the Herbert family. Judit Newey started delivering pizza in Roy, Utah, to help pay the bills, as his social security benefits (社会保障金) weren't enough to live on. From the moment the Herberts heard him say, “Hello, are you looking for some pizza," Judit found his way into their hearts!Ever since that day, whenever they place an order, they ask for Judit personally. It didn't take long for them to begin recording their sweet meetings and share them on TikTok, which is how thousands of other people fell in love with Judit. Still, his fans couldn't help but wonder why someone at his age was working so hard—question the Herbert family was asking themselves too. They spoke with Judit, and when they found out he works 30 hours a week to make ends meet, they decided to collect donations to make his life easier. They figured anything would help, but the total sum which is up to $12,000 really surprised them!In September, the couple decided to switch things up by showing up at Judit's door with a couple of gifts. First, they surprised him with a cute cartoon shirt of himself holding a pizza box. Then they revealed the surprising act of generosity that brought him to tears! They explained that they had rallied their TikTok community to support him, and while he's not entirely sure what the platform is, he couldn't be more thankful.“How do ever say thank you? I don't know what to say, "he told them. "I don't know what to say, except thank you." The Herberts insisted they were just the messengers. It was his fans who made the wonderful gift possible. Plus, the way they see it, they're just repaying Judit for his kindness.8．What did Judit Newey mean by saying "Hello, are you looking for some pizza,"?A．He was selling pizza.B．He was delivering pizza.C．The Herberts were making the order.D．The Herberts lost some pizza.9．Why does Judit Newey have to deliver pizza at such an old age of 89?A．To help people in need.B．To raise money for the poor.C．To volunteer in a charity.D．To make his living.10．What can be inferred from the text?A．The money the Herberts raised was beyond their expectations.B．The Herberts asked TikTok for help to record their meeting.C．Judit was very thankful because of the support from TikTok.D．Judit worked 30 hours a week to afford his social security benefits.11．Which of the following can best describe the Herberts?A．Helpful and warmhearted.B．Optimistic and wise.C．Generous and hardworking.D．Kind and talented.The mangrove tree might not look very impressive, but it is an essential part of our ecosystem. However, more than half of the mangrove forests have been destroyed in the past century. Several World Heritage Sites have been listed largely because of their mangrove ecosystems. Among them are the Sundarbans across India and Bangladesh, the Everglades National Park in the US, and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.Being a World Heritage Site requires for the mangroves to be protected. However, one country in Asia has gone further by having a five-year program to protect and conserve all their mangroves. They even have a mangrove museum and observe World Mangrove Day. This country is Sri Lanka. Why are mangrove trees so important to Sri Lanka and to other countries where mangroves grow?The mangrove tree grows along coastal saltwater shorelines. They have adapted to the harsh coastal weather and have deep roots. This means that they are strong and cannot be easily removed. In countries where natural disasters such as tsunamis and cyclones occur, the forests provide protection. The villages in Sri Lanka with full mangrove forests have sufferedless damage when hit by these natural disasters. The reason is that the mangroves break up the force and strength of the waves.The mangroves also quickly absorb carbon dioxide and send oxygen into the atmosphere. This makes them an important part of the fight against climate change. They absorb far more carbon dioxide than other types of forest, and store it in their structure and even in the soil. This is important as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is believed to be a cause of detrimental changes in the weather, such as global warming.The strong roots also provide protection for young fish as they grow. With the oceans around the world being overfished, it is important to maintain the ecological balance in the oceans. For Sri Lanka, one of the threats to the mangrove forests is the shrimp farms being set up. To build saltwater ponds for the shrimps, the mangroves are cut down. This has resultedin fewer fish surviving among the mangrove roots and fewer fish being caught by the fishermen.
