The real fun begins...Director: Ken KwapisStars: Robort Redford, Nick Nolte, Emma ThompsonAdd to watchlist1．If you prefer family-themed movies, which one should see?A．Everest B．War RoomC．Straight Outta Compton D．A Walk In The Woods2．What is N.W.A according to the passage?A．A movie club B．A music groupC．An adventure team D．A charity organization3．Why does Bill Bryson hike the Appalachain Trail?A．To accompany his friend Katz B．To exercise and keep himself fit C．To strengthen his bond with the US D．To have an adventure in the woodsWeighing too much can damage your health,and obesity is a growing problem for both kids and adults around the world.Sleep might be one answer to the problem.A new study has found that elementary school students who slept too little were more likely to gain pounds.Past studies have shown a link between sleeping less and weighing more,but scientists have had a tough time determining "which came first,the chicken or the egg," says Julie C．Lumeng of the university of Michigan in Ann Arbor.In other words,it hasn't been clear whether kids who weigh too much have trouble sleeping,or whether sleeping less leads to weight gain.Both scenarios (可能出现的情况) seemed equally possible.To get a better idea of which causes which,Lumeng and her colleagues interviewed the parents of 785 third graders from around the United States.The parents answered questions about how well their kids slept that year.Three years later,the parents answered the same questions.By sixth grade ,18percent of kids involved in the study were obese.The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students' race or gender.It also didn't matter how strict their parents were,or whether they were boys orgirls.Obesity struckall of these groups equally.Instead,sleep seemed to be the key factor.Over the three years of study,the children averaged a healthy 9.5 hours of sleepa night.Some kids,however,slept a lot moreor less than others.For the sixth graders,every hour of sleep above the 9.5houraverage was linked toa 20 percent lower risk of being obese.Sleep appeared doubly important for the third graders.Every extra hour of sleep they got was linked to a 40 percent drop in obesity.4．What does the underlined sentence on paragraph 2 imply?A．Scientists have found the exact causes of children's obesity.B．There is always something difficult to understand through theoryC．The cause–effect relationship between weight and sleep isn't clear.D．A person's weight has something to do with the amount of his sleep.5．What did the interview find out?A．9.5 hours of sleep a night is enough for children.B．The more a child sleeps,the healthier he will be.C．Sixth graders need much more sleep than third graders.D．One’s race or gender has nothing to do with his weight.6．How does the author develop the passage?A．By listing figures B．By comparing different opinions C．By providing examples D．By conducting a survey7．What is the suitable title for the passage?A．The benefits of enough sleep for childrenB．Sleeping less increases the risk of obesityC．Which comes first,little sleep or obesityD．How many hours of sleep do children need?Eighty-five-year old Chinese pharmacologist(药理学家) Tu Youyou became China’s first winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine when it was announced that she was one of three scientists awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in developing effective drugs against parastic diseases.Tu was honored for developing artemisin（青蒿素）,a drug for malaria that has saved millions of lives across the globe,especially in the developing world,the Nobel Assembly at karolinska Institue disclosed on its website on Monday.Tu,a Chinese trained pharmacologistand a researcher at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing,went to Stockholm,Sweden in December to receive her award,according to Cao Hongxin,the science and techology department head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine."She was calm and said she has received lots of congratulatory calls." Cao told China Daily on Monday after he telephoned Tu to congratulate her."It’s an overdue（迟来的）honor for Tu and the world’s recognition of traditional Chinese medicine," he said."Tu’s breakthrough in winning the Nobel Prize in a natural science is the pride of the whole nation and the whole Chinese scientific community," said Zhou Dejin,spokesman of the Chinese Academy of Science,China’s national research body that consists of more than one hundred research insistutes,universities and research branches,"The achievement of discovering artemisinin was made in the 1970s,but it only received international recognition in later years ,which suggests that we might have more achievements that have reached the Nobel Prize level but have not been recognized." Zhou said.8．Why was Tu Youyou awarded the Nobel Prize?A．She made a breakthrough in the Chinese scientific communityB．She came up with a revolutionary theory about medicineC．She devoted her whole life to medicine researchD．She developed a very effective drug in the 1970s9．What do we know about Tu Youyou ?A．She secretly accepted the Nobel Prize by herselfB．She 's the second Chinese to win the 2015 Nobel PrizeC．She has an ordinary heart though winning the Nobel PrizeD．She won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with three scientists 10．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．China lacks talented scientists like Tu YouyouB．Tu’s achievement was recognized by the world a long time agoC．Chinese scientists should work harder to win more Nobel PrizesD．More Chinese scientific achievements should be acknowledged11．What type of writing does this passage belong to?A．A scientific report B．An official documentC．A news report D．A medical recordDo you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these can help you make money.Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of what’s been called the “sharing economy”.Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb---an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 listings.It seems to have concerned the market!A British company is doing something with parking spaces.JustPark’s founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says ,“When I had the original idea,Ispotted a driveway close to a sports stadium.It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in commercial car park.” And he has a big clientele（客户）:around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site,and he says around half a million drivers use it.There are other sites doing very similar things,like Uber and Lyft---these let drivers share their cars with other passengers.Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is .A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over £200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!Because this is a new business world,those rules aren’t there yet and many people are happy to share...as long as it pays!But the sharing economy has its critics:the competitors of these new companies.People who run things like traditional B&B, commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket.And there is another issue:regulations on these new business are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?12．What does the underlined phrase “feeling the pinch” probably mean?A．Lacking in money B．Full of curiosityC．Willing to help others D．Unsatisfied with their life13．Who may be against the sharing economy?A．A taxi driver who can’t find a a parking place B．A priest in the church near Kings CrossC．A traveller who needs accomodiation D．A well-known high-end holiday hotel 14．Why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4?A．They can gain huge profits B．They needn’t pay any feeC．There are few rules to limit them D．The new business has no risks 15．Which of the following words can best describe the booming business?A．Creative and developed B．Competitive but unpractical C．Effective and worrying D．Traditional and acceptable二、七选五The key to dealing with test-day anxiety is through preparation! 16． It is important to prepare your mind and body for the experience of working under pressure.Get some sleep. I know you’ve heard this before, but it’s often repeated because it’s so important. Get plenty of sleep the night before the test! If you don’t have enough rest, you’ll find it much harder to concentrate. 17．.Leave early. Be sure to leave earlier than normal on the day of a test to avoid the added fear of arriving late. 18． The embarrassment will cause you to be distracted and lose valuable time.19． Once you arrive at school or at the testing center, find a quiet space where you can be all alone. You can use your car if you drive, or you can find an empty locker room or office (ask a teacher). Once you locate in a quiet place, do a relaxation session. Close your eyes and try to relax completely. Take deep breath and keep calm.20．It’s possible that some students start to stress out a s other students discuss the material. When you hear others chatting, it might sound like you skipped over something important or you misunderstood a concept. It’s probably not even true——but it can seem like it! A．Take a quiet moment.B．A sleepy brain is a foggy brain!C．Watch out for the road conditions.D．Walking into an exam late is the last thing you need!E.You might also find time for a quick bite during a break.F.Don’t talk with other students in the minutes before a test.G.But full preparation means more than knowing the test material.三、完形填空No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own 21I learned this lesson from a(n) 22 many years ago. I took the head 23 job at a school in Baxley, Georgia.

2019-2020学年青海省西宁市第一中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AI once taught in a small private school. Each morning at nine o’clock all the students, ranging in age from three to seven years old, gathered in the Great Room for a warm-up in preparation for the day.One morning the headmistress made an announcement to all the children gathered,“Today we begin a great experiment of the mind.” She held up two ivy(常春藤) plants, each potted in an identical container. She continued, “Do they look the same?”All the children nodded. So did I, for, in this way, I was alsoa child.“We will give the plants the same amount of light, the same amount of water, but not the same amount of attention,” She said. “Together we are going to see what will happen when we put one plant in the kitchen away from our attention and the other plant right here in this room. Each day for the next month, we shall sing to our plant in the Great Room and tell it how much we love it, and how beautiful it is. We will use our good minds to think good thoughts about it.”Four weeks later my eyes were as wide and disbelieving as the children’s. The kitchen plant was leggy and sick-looking, and it hadn’t grown at all. But the Great Room plant, which had been sung to and surrounded by positive thoughts and words, had increased threefold in size with dark leaves that were filled with energy.In order to prove the experiment, the kitchen ivy was brought to the Great Room to join the other ivy. Within three weeks, the second plant had caught up with the first ivy. Within four weeks, they could not be distinguished, one from the other.I took this lesson to heart and made it my own.1. Why did the headmistress do the experiment?A. She wanted to teach me a lesson.B. She expected the students to learn to grow plants.C. She meant to prove the impact of good minds on growth.D. She intended to show students how to save a sick-looking plant.2. What happened to the ivy in the kitchen at last?A. It stopped growing and died.B. It was leggy and sick with dark leaves.C. It looked almost the same as the other one.D. It grew better than the one in the Great Room.3. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Life Means GrowthB. Things Grow with LoveC. Equality Makes a DifferenceD. Positive Thoughts Really CountBIn the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact（影响）on the environment. After all, you were jumping into your car, driving across town, coughing out emissions（产生排放）and using gas all the way. But now that we're used to staying at home and streaming movies, we might get a littleproud. After all, we're just picking up our phones and maybe turning on the TV. You're welcome. Mother Nature.Not so fast, says a recent report from the French-based Shift Project. According to "Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video", digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Watching a half-hour show would cause 1. 6 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. That's like driving 6. 28 kilometers. And in the European Union, the Eureca project found that data centers（where videos are stored）there used 25% more energy in 2017 compared to just three years earlier, reports the BBC.Streaming is only expected to increase as webecome more enamored ofour digital devices（设备）and the possibility of enjoying entertainment where and when we want it increases. Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and account for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022. By then, about 60% of the world's population will be online.You're probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there're things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use, experts say. For example, according to Lutz Stobbe, a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin, we have no need to upload 25 pictures of the same thing to the cloud because it consumes energy every time. If instead you delete a few things here and there, you can save energy. Moreover, it's also a good idea to stream over Wi-Fi, watch on the smallest screen you can, and turn off your Wi-Fi in your homeif you're not using your devices.4. What topic is the first paragraph intended to lead in?A. The environmental effects of driving private cars.B. The improvements on environmental awareness.C. The change in the way people seek entertainment.D The environmental impacts of screaming services.5. What does the underlined phrase become more enamored of" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Get more skeptical of.B. Become more aware of.C. Feel much crazier about.D. Get more worried about.6. What can we infer about the use of streaming services?A. It is being reduced to protect the planet.B. Its environmental effects are worsening.C. It is easily available to almost everyone.D. Its side effects have drawn global attention.7. Which of the following is the most environmentally-friendly?A. Watching downloaded movies on a mobile phone.B. Downloading music on a personal computer.C. Uploading a lot of images of the same thing.D. Playing online games over mobile networks.CFor decades, an organization, called Ulum Dalska, based in a small Swedish town called Alvdalen, hasbeen working hard to help save a language called EIfdalian. Elfdalian sounds nothing like the country's national language, Swedish, which press secretary Bjorm Rehnstrom said affected the language about 100 years ago. At that point, Elfdalian declined. Ulla Schitt, also a Ulum Dalska member, experienced the change while growing up in Alvdalen.“My parents spoke Efdalian with each other, and with my grandma and my aunts and uncles and everyone around,”Schit said. “But when they turned to me, they spoke Swedish.” Schitt said her parents spoke Swedish with her because that's what was spoken in schools.But people are getting creative in the fight to change that trend. Musicians are creating new songs with Elfdalian. Several children's books were also translated into EIfdalian, including Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Additionally, Bjorm Rehnstrom helps run a popular Facebook group that offers courses in theElfdalian language, where he offers lessons to the group's 1,800 global members from America, Australia, South America, Indonesia, Haiti and Cape Verde.The local government supports the teaching and preservation of Elfdalian. Bjom Rehnstrom said they eagerly paid for a sign that reads: “Welcome to Alvdalen” in Elfdalian. But the national government of Sweden is a different story. They currently consider Eidalian a dialect of Swedish, not its own language.Schitt said every time a language dies it is a sad moment. To her, losing Elfdalian would be an especially tragic (悲剧的) loss. “It's a part of our identity. It's part of our culture,” she said. “And if part of your identity and culture dies, a part of yourself dies.” Getting Elfdalian recognized as a language by the Swedish government, she added, is key to making sure that death doesn't come.8. Why was Ulum Dalska founded?A. To teach Swedish.B. To save Elfdalian.C. To improve Alvdalen.D. To help schools.9. Why Schitt's parents spoke Swedish with her?A. They could only speak Swedish fluently.B. Schitt longed to speak Swedish at home.C. Swedish was the language of schools.D. It was required by her school teachers,10. What can we infer from paragraph 4?A. Many people are trying to help to save Elfdalian.B. Songs in Elfdalian are becoming more popular.C. Le Petit Prince was translated into various languages.D. Courses in Eldalian are provided to the world freely.11. What does Schitt think of preserving Elfdalian?A. Satisfactory.B. Vital.C. Dangerous.D. Meaningless.DIn the past, most people received their news from newspapers, magazines, radio and TV. But now, almost anyone can report and publish on the Internet and share it as news through social media. But the problemis that not all of the information is true and not all of the reporting is trustworthy.Howard Schneider, a former editor of the newspapersNewsday,started the Center for News Literacy (素养) at Stony Book University in 2007. The center has multiple projects, but the most famous one is a course to teach news literacy. The course trains students to look for various details that may indicate the truth of the story.Michelle Sheng is a third-year student at theUniversityofMichigan. Sheng finds that students either just stop reading the news or only take news from one source that they trust. "A lot of people are tired of the news. People are too busy to keep up with the news, and it is really easy to take whatever news is given to you because you don’t have the time to figure it out yourself,“ she says.For her part, Sheng recently created a digital exhibit for the university library of images to educate students on steps they can take to better analyze the news.It is important to educate an even larger audience, beyond American university students. The Center for News Literacy has developed teaching resources, as well as a free online news literacy course. It is also trying to reach a younger audience. It has partnered with several secondary schools in the American state ofNew Yorkto teach news literacy.People should research and confirm what they read online. However, to change human behavior is a difficult thing, but that really is the only thing that is going to help. The biggest problem is not getting people to be able to recognize bad journalism or false news, but getting people to want to recognize it. Our brains are wired to the Internet to seek out information that agrees with our current beliefs.12. What’s purpose of the course “News Literacy”？A. To get rid of false information on the Internet.B. To make people realize the risk on the Internet.C. To train students to tell true information from the false.D. To teach students good habits of using information online.13. Why do students have difficulty judging the truth of news?A. They are too lazy.B. They are bored with news.C. They lack news resources.D. They lack time to check its realness.14. What does the Center try to do besides teaching university students?A. Educate the public.B. Improve the service online.C. Prevent children going online.D. Set up several secondary schools.15. What did the author suggest doing to solve the problem of false news?A. Believing whatever you see.B. Changing human behaviors.C. Questioning all the news online.D. Only trusting reliable information.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Past studies have shown a link between sleeping less and weighing more,but scientists have had a tough time determining "which came first,the chicken or the egg," says Julie C ． Lumeng of the university of Michigan in Ann 此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号Arbor.In other words,it hasn't been clear whether kids who weigh too much have trouble sleeping,or whethersleeping less leads to weight gain.Both scenarios (可能出现的情况) seemed equally possible.To get a better idea of which causes which,Lumeng and her colleagues interviewed the parents of 785 third graders from around the United States.The parents answered questions about how well their kids slept that year.Three years later,the parents answered the same questions.By sixth grade ,18percent of kids involved in the study were obese.The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students' race or gender.It also didn't matter how strict their parents were,or whether they were boys orgirls.Obesity struck all of these groups equally.Instead,sleep seemed to be the key factor.Over the three years of study,the children averaged a healthy 9.5 hours of sleepa night.Some kids,however,slept a lot moreor less than others.For the sixth graders,every hour of sleep above the 9.5houraverage was linked toa 20 percent lower risk of being obese.Sleep appeared doubly important for the third graders.Every extra hour of sleep they got was linked to a 40 percent drop in obesity.4．What does the underlined sentence on paragraph 2 imply?A．Scientists have found the exact causes of children's obesity.B．There is always something difficult to understand through theoryC．The cause–effect relationship between weight and sleep isn't clear.D．A person's weight has something to do with the amount of his sleep.5．What did the interview find out?A．9.5 hours of sleep a night is enough for children.B．The more a child sleeps,the healthier he will be.C．Sixth graders need much more sleep than third graders.D．One’s race or gender has nothing to do with his weight.6．How does the author develop the passage?A．By listing figures B．By comparing different opinionsC．By providing examples D．By conducting a survey7．What is the suitable title for the passage?A．The benefits of enough sleep for childrenB．Sleeping less increases the risk of obesityC．Which comes first,little sleep or obesityD．How many hours of sleep do children need?Eighty-five-year old Chinese pharmacologist(药理学家) Tu Youyou became China’s first winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine when it was announced that she was one of three scientists awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in developing effective drugs against parastic diseases.Tu was honored for developing artemisin（青蒿素）,a drug for malaria that has saved millions of lives across the globe,especially in the developing world,the Nobel Assembly at karolinska Institue disclosed on its website on Monday.Tu,a Chinese trained pharmacologist and a researcher at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing,went to Stockholm,Sweden in December to receive her award,according to Cao Hongxin,the science and techology department head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine."She was calm and said she has received lots of congratulatory calls." Cao told China Daily on Monday after he telephoned Tu to congratulate her."It’s an overdue（迟来的）honor f or Tu and the world’s recognition of traditional Chinese medicine," he said."Tu’s breakthrough in winning the Nobel Prize in a natural science is the pride of the whole nation and the whole Chinese scientific community," said Zhou Dejin,spokesman of the C hinese Academy of Science,China’s national research body that consists of more than one hundred research insistutes,universities and research branches, "The achievement of discovering artemisinin was made in the 1970s,but it only received international recognition in later years ,which suggests that we might have more achievements that have reached the Nobel Prize level but have not been recognized." Zhou said.8．Why was Tu Youyou awarded the Nobel Prize?A．She made a breakthrough in the Chinese scientific communityB．She came up with a revolutionary theory about medicineC．She devoted her whole life to medicine researchD．She developed a very effective drug in the 1970s9．What do we know about Tu Youyou ?A．She secretly accepted the Nobel Prize by herselfB．She 's the second Chinese to win the 2015 Nobel PrizeC．She has an ordinary heart though winning the Nobel PrizeD．She won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with three scientists10．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．China lacks talented scientists like Tu YouyouB．Tu’s achievement was recognized by the world a long time agoC．Chinese scientists should work harder to win more Nobel PrizesD．More Chinese scientific achievements should be acknowledged11．What type of writing does this passage belong to?A．A scientific report B．An official documentC．A news report D．A medical recordDo you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these can help you make money.Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of what’s been called the “sharing economy”.Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb---an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 listings.It seems to have concerned the market!A British company is doing something with parking spaces.JustPark’s founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says ,“When I had the original idea,Ispotted a driveway close t o a sports stadium.It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in commercial car park.” And he has a big clientele（客户）:around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site,and he says around half a million drivers use it.There are other sites doing very similar things,like Uber and Lyft---these let drivers share their cars with other passengers.Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is .A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over £200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!Because this is a new business world,those rules aren’t there yet and many people are happy to share...as long as it pays!But the sharing economy has its critics:the competitors of these new companies.People who run things like traditional B&B, commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket.And there is another issue:regulations on these new business are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?12．What does the underlined phrase “feeling the pinch” probably mean?A．Lacking in money B．Full of curiosityC．Willing to help others D．Unsatisfied with their life13．Who may be against the sharing economy?A．A taxi driver who can’t find a a parking place B．A priest in the church near Kings CrossC．A traveller who needs accomodiation D．A well-known high-end holiday hotel14．Why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4?A．They can gain huge profits B．They need n’t pay any feeC．There are few rules to limit them D．The new business has no risks15．Which of the following words can best describe the booming business?A．Creative and developed B．Competitive but unpracticalC．Effective and worrying D．Traditional and acceptable二、七选五The key to dealing with test-day anxiety is through preparation! 16． It is important to prepare your mind and body for the experience of working under pressure.Get some sleep. I know you’ve heard this before, but it’s often repeated because it’s so important. Get plenty of sleep the night before the test! If you don’t have enough rest, you’ll find it much harder to concentrate. 17．.Leave early. Be sure to leave earlier than normal on the day of a test to avoid the added fear of arriving late. 18． The embarrassment will cause you to be distracted and lose valuable time.19． Once you arrive at school or at the testing center, find a quiet space where you can be all alone. You can use your car if you drive, or you can find an empty locker room or office (ask a teacher). Once you locate in a quiet place, do a relaxation session. Close your eyes and try to relax completely. Take deep breath and keep calm.20．It’s possible that some students start to stress out as other students dis cuss the material. When you hear others chatting, it might sound like you skipped over something important or you misunderstood a concept. It’s probably not even true——but it can seem like it!A． Take a quiet moment.B． A sleepy brain is a foggy brain!C． Watch out for the road conditions.D． Walking into an exam late is the last thing you need!E. You might also find time for a quick bite during a break.F. Don’t talk with other students in the minutes before a test.G. But full preparation means more than knowing the test material.三、完形填空No one is born a winner.People make themselves into winners by their own ____21____.I learned this lesson from a(n)___22_____many years ago.I took the head ___23_____ job at school in Baxley,Georgia.It was a small school with a weak football program.It was a tradition for the school’s old team to play against the ____24_____ team at the end of spring practice.The old team had no coach,and they didn’t even practise to ____25___the game.Being the coach of the newteam,I w as excited because I knew we were going to win,but to my disappointment,we were defeated.I couldn’t ____26______ I had got into such a situation.Thinking hard about it,I came to ______27______that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia,but they were ______28_____me .I had to change my ______29_______ about their ability and potential.I started doing anything I could to help them build a little____30_____.Most important,I began to treat them like_____31____.That summer,when the other teams enjoyed their _____32________,we met every day and ______33_____ passing and kicking the football.Six months after suffering our ________34______ on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second,and continued to ___35______.Finally ,we faced the number one team in the state.I felt that it would be a____36_____for us even if we lost the game.But that wasn’t what happened.My boys beat the best team in Georgia,giving me one of the greatest ______37_______ of my life!From the experience I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can ______38______ the members of a team.Instead of seeing my boys as losers,I pushed and ____39_______them.I helped them to see themselves ___40____,and they built themselves into winners.Winners are made, not born.21．A．luck B．tests C．efforts D．nature22．A．experiment B．experience C．visit D．show23．A．operating B．editing C．consulting D．coaching24．A．successful B．excellent C．strong D．new25．A．cheer for B．prepare for C．help with D．finish with26．A．believe B．agree C．describe D．regret27．A．realize B．claim C．permit D．demand28．A．reacting to B．looking for C．depending on D．caring about29．A．decision B．attitude C．conclusion D．intention30．A．pride B．culture C．fortune D．relationship31．A．leaders B．partners C．winners D．learners32．A．rewards B．vacations C．health D．honor33．A．risked B．missed C．considered D．practised34．A．defeat B．decline C．accident D．mistake35．A．relax B．improve C．expand D．defend36．A．shame B．burden C．victory D．favor 37．A．chances B．thrills C．concerns D．offers38．A．surprise B．serve C．interest D．affect39．A．encouraged B．observed C．protected D．impressed40．A．honestly B．individually C．calmly D．differently第II卷（非选择题）四、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

2019-2020学年青海省西宁市第一中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ALast summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work inMinneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted. “Hey. I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I was really hoping to get a haircut.” Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his hair immediately. After the work was done, the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.Up to now, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts around the city to people with little influence, and she is strongly aware of the power of her cleanup job.As a teen, she suffered from a severe disease, causing her hair to get thinned, so her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own barbershop so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology (美容术) school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets. Her aim was that by doing some kind acts, others would be inspired to spread their own.“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely peoplelooked,” she said. “I thought maybe I’d go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.”1. How does the writer begin the passage?A. By making a comparison.B. By giving a reason.C. By raising a question.D. By describing a scene.2. What made Stellar start the Red Chair Project?A. Her mother’s love for her.B. Her interest in cosmetology.C. Her care for those in need.D. Her wish to fight severe diseases.3. What did Stellar expect from the project?A. To spread kindness.B. To solve social problems.C. To deal with relationships.D. To make people look smarter.BResearchers at CU Boulder have developed a wearable device that changes the human body into a biological battery. The device is stretchy(弹性的) enough that you can wear it like a ring, sport band or any other thing that touches your skin. It also taps into a person's natural heat-employing thermoelectric generators to change the body's internal temperature into electricity. "In the future, we want to be able to power your wearable electronics without having to include a battery," said Jianliang Xiao, an associate professor at CU Boulder.The concept may sound like something out of The Matrix film series, in which a race of robots have enslaved humansto harvest their precious organic energy. Xiao and his colleagues aren't that ambitious: Their devices can generate about 1 volt (伏特) of energy for every square centimeter of skin space-less volt per area than what most existing batteries provide but stillenough to power electronics like watches or fitness trackers.Scientists have previously experimented with similar wearable devices, but Xiao's is stretchy, can heal itself when damaged and is fully recyclable-making it a cleaner alternative to traditional electronics. "Whenever you use a battery, you're depleting(消耗) that battery and will, eventually, need to replace it," Xiao said. "The nice thing about our device is that you can wear it, and it provides you with constant power."Just pretend that you're out for a jog. As you exercise, your body heats up, and thatheat will radiate out to the cool air around you. Xiao's device captures that flow of energy rather than let it go to waste. "The thermoelectric generators are in close contact with the human body, and they can use the heat that would normally be sent into the environment," Xiao said.4. What does Xiao expect of his device at present?A. It will be used for medical purposes.B. It will be made smaller and wearable.C. It will change natural power into electricity.D. It will supply constant power to wearable devices.5. Why does the author mentionThe Matrixseries in the text?A. To give an explanation.B. To make a comparison.C. To introduce a topic.D. To analyze the cause.6. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. The strengths of Xiao's device.B. The convenience of using a battery.C. The replacement of wearable devices.D. The development of traditional electronics.7. What do we know about Xiao's device from the text?A. It operates with plenty of power.B. It is designed for practical use.C. It benefits people's health in a way.D. It's based on traditional electronics.CFor years video games have been criticised for making people more antisocial, overweight or depressed. Bui now researchers are finding that video games can actually change us for the better and improve both our body and mind.Games can help to develop physical skills. Pre-school children who played interactive games have been shown to have improved motor skills, for example they can kick, catch and throw a ball better than children who don’t play video games. A study found that those who played video games were 27 percent faster and made 37 percent fewer errors than those who didn't.Games also benefit a variety of brain functions, including decision-making. People who play action-based games make decisions 25 percent faster than others, according to one study. It was also found that the best gamers can make choices and act on them up to six times a second, four times faster than most people. In another study by researchers from the University of Rochester in New York, experienced gamers were shown to be able to pay attention to more than six things at once without getting confused, compared with the four that most people can normally keep in mind.There is also evidence that gaming can help with psychological problems. At the University of Auckland in New Zealand, researchers asked 94 young people diagnosed with depression to play a 3D fantasy game called SPARX and in many cases, the game reduced symptoms of depression more than conventional treatment.8. In what way playing video games benefits very young children?A. Muscle control.B. Social interaction.C. Decision-making.D. The ability to focus.9. Which type of video game improves the decision-making speed?A. Interactive games.B. Action-based games.C. 3D fantasy games.D. Violent games.10. What is the authors attitude to video games?A. Indifferent.B. Objective.C. Worried.D. Critical.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The effects of different types of video games.B. The negative effects of playing video games.C. The beneficial effects of playing video games.D. The effects of games on people's behavior.DThe mass death of flying foxes in extreme heat in North Queensland last month underlines the importance ofUniversityofQueenslandwildliferesearch released today.The UQ research sheds light on how various species have responded to major climate events.A study led by UQ School of Earth and Environmental Science researcher Dr Sean Maxwell has spent more than 70 years quantifying the responses of various species.“The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as cyclones, droughts and floods is causing unpredictable and immediate changes to ecosystems and blocking existing management efforts,” Dr Maxwell said.“Some of the negative responses we found were quite concerning, including more than 100 cases of dramatic population declines and 31 cases of local population extinction following an extreme event.”"Populations of critically endangered bird species inHawaii, such as the palia, have been annihilated due to drought, leaving none of its kind, and populations of lizard species have been wiped out due to cyclones in theBahamas."Cyclones were the most common extreme event for birds, fish, plants and reptiles, while mammals and amphibians were most responsive to drought events, with drought leading to 12 cases of major population decline in mammals.Drought also led to 13 cases of breeding declines in bird populations and 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate communities.UQ Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science director Professor James Watson said the detailed information would help inform ecosystem management.“The research clearly shows species will respond, often negatively, to extreme events,” Professor Watson said.“As climate change continues to ensure extreme climate and weather events are more and more common,we now need to act to ensure species have the best chance to survive.Wherever possible, high quality and intact habitat areas should be retained, as these are the places where species are most resilient(易恢复的) to increasingexposure to extreme events.”12. How was the UQ researchconducted?A. By observing extreme weather events.B. By protecting the endangered species.C. By recording reactions of animals to extreme climate.D. By analyzing the reason whymass animal death happened.13. What does the underlined word “annihilated” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. destroyedB. defeatedC. decreasedD. disappeared14. Which of the following sentences is true about extreme weather events?A. Drought caused 13 cases of distinctionin bird populations.B. Drought caused 12 cases of population decline in mammals.C. Birds and mammals are most responsive to cyclones.D. Cyclones wiped out populations of lizard.15. What can we infer from Professor Watson’s words?A. Animals often show negative responses to extreme events.B. The existing management ways for wildlife protection are limited.C. Different methods should be adopted to ensure the survival of different species.D. Complete and undamaged habitats are of great importance to species’ survival.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

青海省西宁市2018届高三下学期复习检测一（一模）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all – whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree refuse to do what they think to be “low” work, and, in fact, working with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.1．According to the passage, the purpose of education is ________.A．to build a perfect worldB．to choose a system of educationC．to let everyone receive education fit for himD．to prepare children mainly for their future work2．Which of the following is True according to the passage?A．It’s hard for uni versity graduates to find jobs.B．No one would like to do work with hands.C．Education is not enough to build a perfect nation.D．University graduates are ashamed of their work.3．In the writer’s opinion, ________.A．all the social problems can’t be solved by educationB．free education for ail probably leads to a perfect worldC．free education won t help to solve social problemsD．education can settle all of the world’s problemsI had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from other kids’. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reach the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money. The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So when my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us.Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing ,red for falling. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride and when my children think I am mean because I now thank God everyday for giving me the meanest mother in the world. 4．From the passage we can learn that the writer’s mother was ________.A．not generous at all B．very strict with her childrenC．very mean with money matters D．very cruel to her children5．Which of the following things did the writer hate to do most?A．Eating differently from other kids. B．Wearing clean clothes made by mother. C．Going to bed early and getting up early. D．Letting mother know where they were. 6．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．the writer worked hard and usually got good grades in studiesB．mother was punished for breaking the Child Labor LawC．all the other kids studied better than the writerD．the writer’s family lived a miserable life7．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．Mother practiced economy in running her home.B．The writer is very thankful for her mother.C．The writer is severe with her children when bringing them up.D．The writer has a deep hatred for her mother.Most cell phone companies design models especially for kids. But parents are usually the ones buying the phones, and paying the bill. According to a study, 56% of parents of children aged 8 to 12 have given their children a cell phone. According to a recent survey, 12 is the magic number. It is the most common age for kids to get their first cell phone. But 13% of children aged 6 to 10 already have one. That’s more than one out of every 10 kids.Pro-cell phone people, including many parents, notice that cell phones help kids keep in touch with their friends and families. They believe that cell phones are an important tool in a dangerous situation. Kids can stay connected with their parents at all times, whether it’s to ask for a ride home from soccer practice or to receive a good – luck text message moments before a big game. Plus, some cell phone designed for kids can be controlled with settings that allow the phone to only be used in parent - approved ways. What’s the harm in that?But oth er people are worried about the health and safety effects of kids’ cell phones. They believe that plugged - in kids could be missing out on other activities, such as playing outside or hanging out with friends, and that sending text messages or fielding phone calls while doing homework is bad for concentration. They say that kids are spending too much time texting instead of talking to each other. “Our brains evolved to communicate face to face,” says Gary Small, a professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, in California. “A lot of this is lost with texting.”And some experts are also concerned about possible health risks. They worry that radiation or energy waves-released by cell phones could be harmful to young people. To be safe, many pediatricians advise limiting talk time.8．The recent survey suggests that ________.A．the number twelve can bring us good luckB．most kids arc eager to have their own cell phonesC．many kids have their first cell phone at the age of 12D．more than half of the parents can afford to buy cell phones9．Pro – cell phone people probably refer to those who think that kids _________. A．mustn’t own cell phone B．should have cell phonesC．had better make more friends D．may lose touch with others10．What would be the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．The disadvantages of cell phones. B．Cell phones designed for kids. C．The kinds of cell phones. D．How to send text message.11．The author’s attitudes toward the fact that kids have cell phones is _________. A．supportive B．objectiveC．negative D．optimisticFor more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.Scientists are using powerful radio telescope to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan (扫视) the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise.Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution (进化) of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.Other scientists bel ieve that our search hasn’t been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family in only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billions years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely thatcivilizations are much more advanced than ours. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.12．According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?A．15 billion.
