"How can the letters ough spell so many different sounding words," they ask, "like dough, bough, rough, and through?" And what about a word like colonel that clearly contains no r, yet pretends it does, and ache with its k sound, instead of the chuh sound of arch? And why does four have a u while forty doesn't? There are no simple rules for English spelling, but there is an explanation behind its complexity. We have only to look back in history.Over the centuries, the English language has been like a magnet, attracting words from numerous languages. It all started with the Britons, an ancient people living in a part of Western Europe that eventually became the British Isles. They spoke a language called Celtic, which was a combination of the early forms of Irish, Scottish, and Welsh. When the Britons were conquered by the Romans and later the Germanics tribes, their language was also invaded. The merging of the languages gave birth to Old English (an early form of the Modern English we know), and a Latin alphabet replaced, with a few exceptions, the ancient Germanic alphabet. In the ninth century, the conquering Norsemen from Scandinavia added their pinch of language spice, as did the French in the eleventh century.By the fourteenth century, English, with its mix of at least five languages, had developed into what is called Middle English and had become Britain's official language. At that time, however, its spellings were far from consistent (一致的) or rational. Many dialects (方言) had developed over the centuries and sometimes people adopted the spelling used in one part of the country and the pronunciation used in another. For instance, today we use the western English spellings for busy and bury, but give the first the London pronunciation bizzy and the second the Kentish pronunciation berry. Of course, this all happened when English was primarily a spoken language, and only scholars knew how to read and write. Even they appeared to have been quite indifferent to matters of consistency in spelling, and were known to spell the same word several different ways in a single sentence.Even after William Caxton set up English's first printing press in the late fifteenth century, and the written word became available to everyone, standard spelling wasn't considered very important. As a matter of fact, the typesetters (排字工人) in the 1500s made things even worse by being careless about spelling. If a blank space needed to be filled or a line was too long, they simply changed the spellings of words to make them fit. Moreover, many of the early printers in England were fromGermany or Holland and didn't know English very well. If they didn't know the spelling of a word, they made up one! Different printers each had their favorite spellings, so that one word might be spelled five or six different ways, depending on who printed the passage.Throughout this period, names and words appear in many different forms. For instance, where can be found as wher, whair, wair, wheare, were, and so on. People were even very liberal about their names. More than eighty spellings of Shakespeare's name have been found, among them Shagspeare, Shaspeare, and even Shakestaffe. Shakespeare himself didn't spell his name the same way in any two of his six known signatures -- he even spelled his name two different ways in his will.By the late sixteenth century and early seventeenth century, some progress had been made in standardizing spelling due to the work of various scholars. By then, however, English spelling was far from a simple phonetic (语音的) system. For one thing, word pronunciations had changed too rapidly for a truly phonetic spelling to keep up. Also, English had borrowed from many languages and ended up having far too many sounds (more than forty) for the twenty-six letters in its Roman alphabet. By the time printing houses finally began to agree on standard spellings, many of these written forms were only a shadow of their spoken selves. In other words, spelling and pronunciation sometimes had little in common.Finally in 1775, Samuel Johnson gave English its first great dictionary. His choice of spellings may not have always been the best or the easiest, but the book helped to make the spellings of most English words uniform (一贯的). Eventually, people became aware of the need for "correct" spelling. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Noah Webster was standardizing American English in his American Dictionary of the English Language and American Spelling Book. Although the British had been complained about the messiness of English spelling for some time, it was the Americans who screamed the loudest. Webster not only favored a simplified, more phonetic spelling system, but also tried to persuade Congress to pass a law making the use of nonstandard spelling a punishable offense.In 1906, the philanthropist (慈善家) Andrew Carnegie gave $ 250,000 to help establish the Simplified Spelling Board (委员会). The board quickly issued a list of 300 words that were commonly spelled two ways, such as ax and axe, and called for the simpler of the two. The board helped to gain acceptance for quite a few American spellings, including catalog, dialog, and program.The call for simplified spelling quickly went out of fashion, particularly with the start of World War I and the death of Andrew Carnegie. The movement never died out completely, however. Spelling reform continued to be an ongoing, if less dramatic, progress, as it had been for centuries. Without the benefit of large donations or outside agencies, many words have dropped useless letters. “Deposite”had lost its e, as has “fossile”. “Musick” and “physick” have dropped their needless “k”s.As long as the world goes around, language will continue to change. New words will be added; spellings will be altered. But because people are most comfortable with the familiar, it's not likely that we'll ever see a major change in the way most words are spelled. Anyway, what would we do without the challenge of English spelling?1. In this article the author intends to ______________________________________.A) tell us how confusing and complex English spelling isB) give us some general idea about the development of the English spellingC) offer us an authoritative explanation for the complexity of English spellingD) encourage us to rise to the challenge of English spelling2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A) Celtic, a combination of earlier forms of Irish, Scottish and Walsh, is generally known as "OldEnglish".B) In ancient times, the Britons -- the natives of the British Isles -- were invaded by one alienculture after another.C) "Middle English" -- English with its mix of several other languages -- had become Britain'sofficial language by the fourteenth century.D) Before the invention of the printing press, English was mostly a spoken language.3. We may safely infer from the passage that _____________________________________.A) English was a relatively "pure" language before the fourteenth centuryB) conquering tribes forced the Britons to speak their languagesC) the influence of other languages made English a rich but complicated languageD) when Britain made English its official language, it stopped foreign words from entering thelanguage and making English even more complicated4. What is the main point of Paragraph 3?A) In Britain, English words had different spellings and pronunciations in different parts of thecountry.B) By the time English had become a written language, the influence of several languages anddialects had made spelling and pronunciation very inconsistent.C) Scholars did not help the problem of spelling inconsistency because they often spelled wordsseveral different ways.D) By the fourteenth century, English had developed into Middle English and was Britain's officiallanguage.5.

It can be concluded from this passage ______________________________________.A) before the eighteenth century scholars were not much more educated than the massesB) even educated people were not much concerned with the spelling of words until the firstdictionary was writtenC) the invention of the printing press did have a significant influence on the English languageD) there was no real need for an English dictionary before Samuel Johnson wrote his in 17557. It can be inferred from this passage that ____________________________________.A) Samuel Johnson made the best and easiest choice of spellings in his dictionary, which helpedto make the spellings of most English words uniformB) Andrew Carnegie never played a significant role in the area of American English spellingC) spelling reform associations had less influence on English spelling changes than the naturalcourse of language changes todayD) thanks to many concerned people, spelling is simpler now than it was 200 years ago8.

The journey is usually so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. (46) _______________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________.Part Two Reading Comprehension (20%)Directions: There are 2 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also exp lain that there‟s a big difference between “being a writer”, and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You‟ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune, there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a place in a New York apartment building. It didn‟t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn‟t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn‟t going to be one of those people who die won dering – what if I would keep putting my dream to the last even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.47. The passage is meant to _____.A) warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB) advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC) show young people it‟s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD) encourage young people to pursue a writing career48. What can be concluded from the passage?A) Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B) A writer‟s success depends on luck rather than on effort.C) Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D) The chances for a writer to become successful are small.49. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A) He wasn‟t able to produce a single book. B) He hadn‟t seen a change for the better.C) He wasn‟t able to have a rest for a whole year.D) He found his dream would never come true.50. “...people who die wondering, w hat if” ( Para. 3) refers to “those ______”.A) who think too much of the dark side of life B) who regret giving up their career halfwayC) who think a lot without making a decision D) who are full of imagination even upon death51. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____.A) the wonderland one often dreams aboutB) the bright future that one is looking forward toC) the state of uncertainty before one‟s final goal is reachedD) a world that exists only in one‟s imaginationPassage TwoBotany (植物学), the study of plants, takes up a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest of insights. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of peoples, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tool, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the father away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose or an apple. When our Neolithic (新石器时代) ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in the new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated corps. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild, and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy (亲密) with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.52. Which of the following assumption about early humans is expressed in the passage?A) They probably had extensive knowledge of plants.B) They refused to accept the study of botany.C) They thought there was no need to cultivate crops.D) They placed great importance on the ownership of property.53. The author believes that the general knowledge of botany begun to fade is because_______.A) people fail to keep up with the fast evolution of plantsB) people no longer value plants as useful resourcesC) direct contact with a variety of plants decreasedD) our study of plants advances a higher stage54. What was the first step towards the practice of agriculture?A) The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted.B) The system of botany had been formed.C) The learning of plants and their properties could not satisfy people‟s need for a better living.D) In the long-term study of botany, people came to realize the importance of agriculture.55. The word “marvel” in Par a. 2 most probably means “________”.A) march B) miracle C) threat D) aid56. According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?A) Tribes living in the jungles of the Amazon regard botany as an enormously important branch ofknowledge.B) Since plants are the basis of the food chain in the ecological system, it is natural that ourancestors had had a detailed study of plants and their properties.C) The more industrialized we become, the less direct contact we have with plants, which results inthe fact that we have little chance to learn botanical knowledge.D) After the practice of agriculture had been started, humans stopped passing down theaccumulated knowledge of botany.使用交互英语课本同学请做下面的题Part Four Vocabulary (30%)Section A (15%)Directions: Fill in the blanks in the following sentences with the words given below.

But when the young man played, it seemed to him, as if his hands were iron. He worried so much about his playing that he became oversensitive （过度敏感的） to the comments of his playing. Unfortunately, in those days, a critic（批评家） was not considered a critic, unless he found something wrong. Thisattitude of the critics would often leave the young man ready to give up his dream andreturn home.He was invited to play in Helsinki. The rich, the famous, the leaders of State were all there. Jean-Michael had one of those days when everything went wrong. That night as he played, he felt as if it were the worst concert of his young life. The next day, in the newspapers, some of the comments were so unkind. The young musician was painful.That day, as he sat in his hotel room in total despair（绝望）, there came a knocking at his door. He had a visitor. The famous Finnish composer（作曲家） Jean Sibelius had come by to congratulate the young pianist on his performance. Jean-Michael asked how he thought of that and began to quote some of the newspaper critics. "Hands of iron. No imagination.Little skill, no joy. Don’t you hear what they say?" he asked. Jean Sibelius looked at young Jean-Michael and said, " Remember, son, there is no city in the world where they have erected a statue（雕像） for a critic."(10分)B：cared too much about what the critics had said2、When I begin to look back on all friends whom I have had, I quickly came to the conclusion that Jerry was the most important and had the greatest effect upon my life. His family moved to my block when I was only 10. Jerry was 15 at the time, but the fact that he was so much older than me seemed to make no difference to him. I was very glad that he liked me. We took long walks together, on which he would tell me stories he had heard form TV and radio programs.But as months went by, a change came into our friendship. Jerry almost stopped coming by the house, and every time I went to his house or telephoned, he put me off with some excuses such as "I’m studying now" or "I’ve got some jobs to do for Mum". When we passed on the street, he would still give me a warm smile and friendly wave with a "Hi, kid", but he wouldhardly ever stop to talk. Finally I realized that he was no longer interested in me and that his taste had changed. I noticed him with a girl once in a while and several times saw him going out in his family’s car on a Friday or Saturday night. I simply couldn’t understand what was so great about girls and parties.But I was hurt when he finally made me know that our friendship was at an end. Of course he didn’t really mean to hurt me, but it was a long time before I realized that it was an age problem that caused the break. There were a world of differences between the ideas and interests of a 17-year-old and a 12-year-old. Now that I’m over sixteen myself, I realized this, and the hurt I got then has become happy memories of the good times we were once together. I wonder if millions of other boys and girls have had a similar experience.(10分)3、We say that a person has good manners if he or she behaves politely and is kind and helpful to others. Everyone likes a person with good manners but no one likes a person with bad manners. "Yes", you may say , " but what are good manners? How do I know what to do and what not to do?"People all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially to those older or weaker than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble.Instead, he tries to help them. He is always kind, never cruel, either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn.He does not push to the front of the queue. In the bus, he gives his seat to an old person or a lady who is standing. If he accidentally bumps into someone, or gets in their way, he says, "excuse me" or "I’m sorry".He says "please" when making a request, and "thank you" when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until theother person is seated. He does not interrupt other people when they are talking. He doesnot talk too much himself. He does not talk loudly or laugh loudly in public. When eating,he does not speak with his mouth full of food. He uses a handkerchief when he sneezes or coughs.(10分)完形填空题1、Man can’’s, which has effectively reduced the birth rate in Japan.(10分)2、Directions：There are 10 blanks in the following passage.

Unfortunately，only very few can hope to become famous and rich．Talent is not enough，because show business is as competitive as any other business．Without a good manager，a performer can never hope to succeed．Fashion is important in this business, too．The best tailor in this world will never be a success if he makes old-fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way，a performer must change his act in order to follow the taste of the moment．This is true for all performers：actors，dancers and perhaps most of all，for singers.“Pop”stands for “popular”, and a pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must either give the public what they already want，or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded，and his CDs are sold everywhere，he cannot relax．Then he must work harder than ever to stay popular，because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity．The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy．He can only relax when he is alone because everythin he does is watched and reported in a special newspaper written for the fans．The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer．They buy his CDs or VCDs．They go to his concerts，and watch his MTV．And it is they who make the singer rich and famous．But they can be very annoying too．Sometimes their enthusiasm gets so wild and mad that they do anything to attract attention and their behavior is as uncontrolled as possible．They shout and cry very loudly during the performance．In order to get a “gift”：they steal everything from the singer：his handkerchiefs(手帕)，his T shirts，his toothbrush．They sometimes tear off buttons from the singer’s clothes，and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer’s hair．Many singers have been forced to hide，and some who have not been so lucky as to escape have almost nothing on at the end of their performance wth almost everything taken away．A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes，because he must always look smart，or at any rate，different．He must have a luxurious car．And most important－he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public．To keep his image young in his fan’s mind，he is not allowed to grow old．(10分)1、1.What is not mentioned as the important thing to be a success in the entertainment profession in the passage?（单选题）A、Being talentedB、Having a good managerC、Getting the best tailorD、Following the taste of the moment.2、2.A successful pop singer must work

companies are responsible for transporting your luggage．If you cannot recover it at the point of arrival，you must inform the airline immediately．They will carry out the necessary search．If the luggage is recovered，it will be delivered to your place of residence．If you wish to insure your luggage，you may do so at your own expense.Some airlines restrict luggage weight to 44 pounds(20 kg)；in other cases，there is no weight restriction，but you are not allowed more than two pieces of luggage．Inquire about luggage allowances from the airline with which you will be traveling．However，you must pay extra for excess luggage，which is not reimbursed (补偿) by Canadian International Development Agency(CIDA)．Each suitcase，bag or package must be clearly labeled with your name and destination．If you do not know the exact destination address at the time of your departure, 1abel your luggage in care of(由……代收)the executing agency whose name appears in the Training Agreement，using the following model：

luggageC、the insurance of your luggageD、the transportation of your luggage3、Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities．Their answer is the bicycle，or “bike”．In a great many cities，hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day．In New York City，some bikers have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City．They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders．For example，they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders have to use the same lanes as cars, there are

2021届北京交大附中高三英语第三次联考试题及答案第一部分阅读（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 CountBAn ancient tomb was recently discovered in southern Siberia in which there may be treasure, priceless objects, and the 3, 000-year-old remains of an ice mummy.Swiss scientist Gino Caspari with the University of Bern was looking carefully at the pictures of the area in the Russian Tuva Republic, when he came across what appeared to be a tomb. It is a tomb of the Scythians, an ancient group of Eurasians.This summer, together with researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Hermitage Museum, a dig at the site not only proved Caspari's idea, but told us the site is the largest and oldest of its kind ever discovered in what's increasingly known as the “Siberian Valley of the Kings.”While any discovery dating back to a period between the Iron Age and Bronze Age is exciting, it's the nature of this site that makes scientists want to begin carefully clearing away the layers of rock and earth. First, the tomb appears to have never been dug, because it is in a Siberian wetland faraway from the nearest place where people live. Second, and most important, is its possible resting place under a thick layer of permafrost.“There's permafrost in the area,” Caspari said. “There are really only a handful of permafrost tombs and very few that have not been damaged, where there have been ice mummies in good condition, and all the things in the tomb are untouched.”While not as large, other tombs discovered in the area have produced fantastical treasures and objects, including thousands of gold objects and other things about the past. By studying all these tombs, researchers hope to have a better understanding of the Scythian people.Caspari said his team is in a race against time to uncover the tomb and find out its secrets. “We now have to act fast,” he said, “because with the rising temperatures, the permafrost could melt and damage all the things in that tomb. And these are things that are over 3,000 years old, that look like new, like they were put thereyesterday.”4. How did Caspari discover the tomb?A. By studying pictures.B. By visiting a Russian area.C. By talking with Russian researchers.D. By comparing other scientists,ideas.5. Why has the tomb remained untouched?A. It is covered by a lot of rocks.B. It is well kept by the Scythians.C. It is too small to draw attention.D. It is hidden in a wild cold place.6. Why do scientists want to uncover the tomb?A. To better protect the tomb.B. To save the treasures inside.C. To learn more about the Scythians.D. To have a good understanding of mummies.7. Why is Caspari's team racing against time to dig the tomb?A. The tomb is too old.B. It is getting hotter and hotter.C. Some treasures are being damaged.D. They want to save time for other tombs.CIf you go into the forest with friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them findyou. You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. You can shout or whistle three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help.Keep up shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches(树枝). Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass.When you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk in order to go back again easily. When you are lost, the most important thing to do is to stay in one place.8. If you get lost in the forest, you should _________.A. try to find your friends in no timeB. stay in one place and give signalsC. walk around the forestD. shout as loudly as possible9. Which signal is a call for help?A. Crying twice.B. Shouting here and there.C. Whistling everywhere in the forest.D. Shouting or whistling three times together.10. When you hear two shouts or two whistles, you know that _________.A. someone needs your helpB. something terrible will happenC. people will come to help youD. someone is afraid of an animal11. What’s the meaning of the last paragraph?A. Use branches to make a bed.B. Drop branches to look for water.C. Pick off branches to build another house.D. Leave branches to help you find your way back.DThe grocerystore might not be your favorite place to visit when you're at home, but is it ever fun when you're in another country? Honestly speaking, they're one of those strange little destinations that I like to sniff out everywhere I go, much as other travelers head toward clothing stores, libraries, coffee shops or galleries.The greatest beauty of the grocery store –– whether it's a supermarket or a tiny shop –– is that it gives you a glimpse into what local people buy to cook their own meals. This offers clues into their lifestyles and preferences, and into the agricultural and cooking practices of the country. I stare at the strange fruits and vegetables, the seafood, the cheese, the spices, the bread, and oh, the chocolate...always the chocolate!Being the environmental nerd（呆子）I am, I like paying attention to packaging, which can reflect people's attitudes towards environmental protection. Italy, for example, has a habit of requiring customers to bag their fruits and vegetables in plastic for weighing, while Sri Lanka leaveseverything loose in bins. In Brazil, everything is prepackaged in a layer of plastic.People in grocery stores tend to be friendlier. They smile, say hello, and sometimes ask questions, which can lead to great conversations. I had a further discussion with a teenaged cashier in Sri Lanka, over which bag of crunchy（松脆的）mix to buy. He insisted that the one labeled “spicy” would be too hot for me, but I told him I was willing to risk it. He laughed and we ended up talking about my favorite Sri Lankan foods for ten minutes.It's interesting then to come home and look at one's own local grocery store through new eyes. What would a visitor think? What stands out, and what do the food displays say about us as a culture? You might be surprised by what you realize.12. According to the author, what is the key benefit of visiting foreign grocery stores?A. Learning to cook foreign dishes.B. Making friends with local people.C. Buying cheaper food and souvenirs.D. Knowing local people and the country.13. What does the author show by mentioning some countries in paragraph 3?A. People's special lifestyles.B. People's shopping habits.C. People's environmental awareness.D. People's packaging methods.14. What can we infer from paragraph 4?A. Sri Lankans know a lot about food.B. Grocery stores are good social places.C. Grocery stores vary in different countries.D. Sri Lankans like to give strangers suggestions.15. Which of the following shows the structure of text? (P: paragraph)A. B.C. D.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。

2020届北京交大附中高三英语第三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AIf you are sending a text message watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full attention. Multitasking shrinks (使.....萎缩)the brain? research suggests.A study found that men and womenwho frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain. University of Sussex researchers said, " Using mobile phones, laptops and other media devicessimultaneouslycould be changing the structure of our brains."Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion. The finding follows research which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span, depression , anxiety and lower grades at school.The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between different types of technology. This could mean sending a text message while listening to music and checking e-mail, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the Internet. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingu-late cortex (ACC)(前扣带皮层).Scientists have proved that brain structure can be changed on exposure to fresh environments and experience.Other studies have shown that training—such as learning to play magic tricks or taxi drivers' learning the map of London―can increase grey matter densities (密度)in certain parts.Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technology can have on our memory and attention span. The University of California team conducted a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99，and found 20%had problems with memory. Researchers were shocked greatly by the 14 % of 18 to 39-year-old people who also worried about their memories.Multitasking may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.1. The underlined word " simultaneously" in Paragraph 2 means "________，"A. on one's ownB. at no timeC. at the same timeD. by accident2. All of the following are possible effects of multitasking EXCEPT________ .A. saving timeB. a shortened attention spanC. lower grades at schoolD. depression and anxiety3. Which ofthe following can be the best title of this passage?A. Media multitasking is becoming more popularB. Multitasking shrinks the brainC. Multitasking may shorten attention spanD. People are worried about their memories.BPlease take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel good to say it out loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(认可) it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes againstthe traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺) to this goal to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.4. What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Completion of the goal.B. Necessary hard work.C. People's acknowledgement.D. A sense of satisfaction.5. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.6. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal?A. By giving figures.B. By giving examples.C. By making a survey.D. By making comparison tests.7. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?A. You will be more confident.B. You will not gain satisfaction.C. You are less likely to realize it.D. You’ll be much moremotivated.CWhen I was a boy, there was but one permanent ambition among my comrades in our village on the west bank of Mississippi River. That was, to be a steamboat man. We had temporary ambitions of other sorts, but they were only temporary.My father was a justice of the peace, and I supposed he possessed the power of life and death over all men and could hang anybody that offended him. This was distinction enough for me as a general thing；butthe desire to be a steamboat man kept intruding, nevertheless. One of our boys in town, who went away and was not heard of for-a long time, turned up as apprentice engineer on a steamboat. This thing shook the bottom out of all my Sunday—school teachings. That boy was notoriously worldly, and I was just the opposite. There was nothing generous about this fellow in his greatness. He would always manage to have a rusty nail to scrub while his boat stopped at our town, and he would sit on the inside guard and scrub it, where we could all see him. And wherever his boat was laid up he would come home and show off in the town in his blackest and greasiest clothes, so that nobody could help remembering that he was a steamboat man; and he used all sorts of steamboat technical terms in his talk, as if he were so used to them that he forgot common people could not understand them.This creature's career could produce but one result, and it was speedily followed. Boy after boy managed to get on the river. Despite many choices, pilot was the grandest position of all. The pilot, even in those days of trivial wages, had a princely salary—from 150—250 dollars a month, and no board payment.But our parents would not let us and our worry was the next year would find us hunting for jobs with low pay again. So by and by I ran away. I said I never would come home again till I was a pilot and could come in glory.8. Why does the writer mention his father's job in Paragraph 2?A. To show that his father was in power.B. To show that his father is cruel.C. To emphasize the job he prefers.D. To emphasize his love for his father.9. Which of the following can best conclude the writer's attitude toward the boy?A. He thought the boy was material but pitiful.B. He thought the boy was annoying but still envied him.C. He thought the boy was shallow but knowledgeable.D. He thought the boy was disrespectful but still liked him.10. Which of the following statements is Not True?A. The boy talked in a way to make others feel jealous.B. The boy's experience made other boys follow suit.C. The pilot's salary was ly high but without meals covered.D. The writer was ambitious to make his childhood dream come true.11. What rhetorical method does the underlined sentence have?A. Simile.B. Personification.C. Parallelism.D. Irony.DSimply being quiet is a growing appeal. Lots of business have appeared to meet a rising demand for quiet time, from silent weekend getaways to silent dining, silent reading parties and even silent dating. Silence can mean different things to different people. We are usually silent only with those closest to us. So there is something almost radical(不同凡响的)about the recent trend towards enjoying silence with strangers.Mariel started a regular silent reading party inDundeejust under a year ago. Readers bring their books and meet in a bar, where they read together in silence for an hour or sometimes two and then put their books away to chat and have a drink. “When the reading party starts, everything goes quiet,” says Mariel, “ It’s a little bit surreal (超现实的), especially in what is usually a noisy bar. However, there is something special about sharing the silence with others. It offers a chance to escape from reality; everyone is so busy with work and with technology being ever present. An event like thisgives people the opportunity to escape these things for a while.”Honi Ryan is an artist based inBerlinwho began hosting silent dinner back in 2006. The rules of the dinner are: no talking, no using your voice, no reading or writing, trying to make as little noise as possible, not connecting with technology, and staying for at least two hours. So far she has taken her silent dinner project toMexico, theUS,AustraliaandChina. “It’s evident that the age-old connections we make over food do not depend on the words around it. Silence creates the space for the people and places involved to fill with whatever is needed;itisquite different from our usual social behaviors.”12. Why have lots of silent businesses appeared?A. To satisfy people’s demand for silence.B. To make people get close to each other.C. To appeal to young people.D. To change people’s old way of life.13. What can we learn about Mariel’s silent reading parties?A. Readers can use their voice while reading.B. Readers can be busy with their work.C. Readers can connect with technology.D. Readers can chat and drink after reading.14. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A. noiseB. spaceC. silenceD. food15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Escape from Reality.B. Enjoying Being Quiet.C. Silent Reading Parties.D. Silent Dining Projects.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。
