2023届宁夏回族自治区银川一中高三下学期第二次模拟考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Driving in IcelandIt’s not uncommon for people visiting Iceland to hire transport or even bring their own cars via the ferry service. There’s some important information about driving in Iceland you need to know first.Driving regulationsIn Iceland, you drive on the right side of the road and overtake ( 超车) on the left. The general speed limit is 30- 50 km/hour in populated areas, 80 km/hour on stone roads in rural areas and 90 km/hour on paved roads. Car headlights must be switched on at all times, day or night when driving in Iceland. The use of mobile phones while driving is prohibited.Driving around IcelandDriving around Iceland is a wonderful way to experience all those wonders of nature at your own pace. Most people visiting here choose to drive on the ring road, since it runs by the island’s beautiful coast connecting lots of natural wonders and attractions.Don’t be distractedWhen driving in the Icelandic countryside, it’s very easy to get distracted by the gorgeous surroundings. No matter how beautiful something is, don’t let it distract you from your driving. If you see something that demands your attention, please find a safe place to park and give the attraction your full attention instead.Parking in Reykjavik1．What should you keep in mind when driving in Iceland?A．Driving on the left.B．Driving at a low speed.C．Turning on the headlights.D．Taking a mobile phone with you.2．When are you easily distracted in Iceland?A．When driving on paved roads.B．When driving on the ring road. . C．When driving around the coast.D．When driving in the countryside. 3．How much will you pay if you park in P3 for 4 hours on Saturday?A．190 kr.B．220 kr.C．245 kr.D．300 kr.I recently attended a wedding in a rural area in north Italy, and guests were provided with a car and driver for the 90-minute journey into the hills. That was exciting: A private car!I could pretend I was rich! Since I’m not, though, I had no idea how much this trip actually cost. As a result, after our driver picked us back up at midnight, I secretly worried all the way home about tipping him.I fished around nervously in my purse and realized that all I had was a $100 note, which I was keeping for an emergency. I had nothing smaller. And I had nothing else to offer but two chocolates from the wedding. So, I could tip the driver that $100 note or two chocolates. In the end, I chose the money.The whole matter of tipping has long been a source of awkward interactions — and, for some travellers, mild anxiety — throughout the world. Tipping customs vary wildly from country to country. A friend in Rome tells me that Italians get hurt by big tips. “Leaving a big tip is considered impolite,” she adds, “I’ve had Italian friends make me take money back.”It reminded me of my 100-dollar tip. What if I had annoyed the driver? So I decided to call the car company and ask them to pass on a message to the driver apologizing for the improper tip and explaining the situation.To my surprise, the car company responded that the driver had actually called to express his gratitude for the unexpected big tip. He had apparently been having a tough week and the money had come at just the right time.I was astonished. All my worry had been for nothing. What started out as a source of anxiety ended up being a heartwarming experience. I learned that sometimes it’s better to go with your feelings and be generous, even if it means taking a risk.4．What did the author realize when she dug around in her purse?A．She had spent 100 dollars on emergency.B．She had to ask the driver for smaller changes.C．She had nothing but two chocolates to offer the driver.D．She had no smaller notes and might tip too high or too low.5．Why did the author mention the tipping in Italy?A．To compare different tipping customs.B．To share a personal story of her friend.C．To show the possibility of upsetting the driver.D．To demonstrate her rich knowledge on tipping.6．What was the driver’s response to the tipping?A．He was annoyed by the large tip.B．He appreciated the author’s generosity. C．He was grateful and refused the money.D．He was upset by the awkward interaction.7．What could be the best title for the text?A．Follow your heart and good things are possible.B．Better think carefully before taking action.C．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.D．A penny saved is a penny earned.Imagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came out of a supermarket box, meaning it was probably harvested when it was still unripe. By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the vine for two weeks. The other strawberry was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten.Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages: they are convenient and still available even in winter months. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing music in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old CD player. The home-grown fruit is an eatable case for making a home garden.Your columnist, who long considered gardening a complete waste of time, advances this argument with great enthusiasm. Planting cool-weather greens, as gardeners across thenorth-east of America are now doing, can seem nonsense, since convenient, continuously well-stocked supermarket shelves are available all week. But the same could be said of cooking: there are many cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals?That attitude misconstrues the ultimate appeal of gardening: it mistakes the product for the purpose. It is true that a garden can produce tomatoes and carrots of incomparable sweetness, and celtuce and herbs that taste like themselves rather than the plastic they areusually packaged in. While finding, let’s say, celtuce in the shops can take some time, effort, and expense, growing your own vegetables ensures a reliable supply.On the other hand, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration. Green hands may plant the wrong crops for their soil. And even expert gardeners can lose a season’s harvest to uncooperative weather.No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure-as with cooking. Writing or almost anything worthwhile — is in the work itself. To garden is to patiently, lovingly and diligently help life become strong and healthy, in the ground and above it.8．What can we know about the supermarket strawberries?A．They look distinct from home-grown ones.B．They give out pleasant and fresh smell. C．They are picked days before fully grown.D．They are planted typically in winter. 9．What does the underlined word “misconstrues“ mean in paragraph 4? A．Misinterprets.B．Transforms.C．Mistrusts.D．Highlights. 10．Why does the author mention the failures in gardening?A．To warn readers not to take up gardening easily.B．To advise readers to work in harmony with nature.C．To make readers reflect on the methods of gardening.D．To help readers have a whole picture of gardening.11．What is the author’s opinion on gardening?A．It’s a difficult and time-consuming process.B．Products of gardening make it worthwhile.C．The time and efforts invested make it a delight.D．It reduces the cost of purchasing vegetables.The deep-sea oil and gas industry has vast and costly facilities to maintain. Wells, other equipment, and thousands of kilometers of pipelines must be inspected and repaired.Now, cutting-edge underwater drones (无人机) and robots are being developed that could make the work safer and cheaper. Among them is Eelume, a six-meter-long, snake-like robot equipped with sensors and a camera at each end. It can be kept at a station at depths of up to half a kilometer for six months, without being brought back to the surface. The robot can travel up to 20 kilometers before needing to return to its station to recharge.Maintenance work at many deep-water wells and pipeline systems is already carried out by unmanned vehicles. But these vehicles typically need to be transported to the offshore site on a fully crewed ship and then remotely operated from onboard the surface ship. That can cost up to $100,000 per day, according to Pål Liljebäck, chief technology officer with Eelume Subsea Intervention, which developed the robot. Liljebäck says that by “enabling the robot to become a subsea resident living at a station, it can be mobilized at any time to do inspections, thereby reducing the need for costly surface ships”.Eelume can work autonomously on tasks assigned from a control room onshore, and send back video and data. Its snake-like design allows it to work in small spaces and wriggle (扭动) its body to stay in place in strong currents. By staying under the sea, it can carry out tasks whatever the conditions on the surface of the ocean.The global underwater robotics market is expected to be worth around $7 billion in 2025, according to analysts, and other companies are in the process of commercializing newdeep-sea drone and robot technology. Eelume Subsea Intervention will carry out final testing on the seabed later this year at the Åsgard oil and gas field. It expects to put its first snake robots into use next year and hopes to have up to 50 in oceans around the world by 2027. 12．What is one feature of Eelume?A．It can travel nearly 40 kilometers before recharging.B．It can dive as deep as 500 meters.C．It works mainly around the station.D．It works for 6 months on one charge.13．What is the problem with unmanned vehicles?A．They are too costly to maintain.B．They are hard to operate remotely.C．They require transportation to and from work.D．They have to work on a fully crewed ship all the time.14．What can be expected of Eelume in the future?A．It will require no further tests.B．It will be worth around $ 7 billion.C．It will be put on the market in 2027.D．It will face a lot of competitors.15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．A snake robot is on its way for underwater tasks.B．Eelume is the new choice for constructing pipelines.C．Maintenance work on the ocean floor is a risky job.D．Unmanned vehicles marketing has seen strong growth.二、七选五Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are somehow reluctant to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise.___16___ Perhaps it’s because few of us know how to accept compliments gracefully. Instead, we are embarrassed and shrug off the words we are really so glad to hear. Because of this defensive reaction, direct compliments are surprisingly difficult to give. That is why some of the most valued pats on the back are those which come to us indirectly, in a letter or passed on by a friend.It’s especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. ___17___ A cook is praised for a perfect meal. But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? Do you ever praise your paperboy for getting the paper to you on time 365 days a year?Praise is particularly appreciated by those doing routine jobs: gas station attendants, waitresses-even housewives.___18___ Since so often praise is the only wage a housewife receives, surely she of all people should get her measure.___19___ It only takes a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort perhaps a quick phone call to pass on a compliment, or five minutes spent writing an appreciative letter. It is such a small investment and yet consider the results it may produce. ___20___So, let’s be alert to the small excellences around us and comment on them. We will not only bring joy into other people’s lives, but also, very often, add happiness into our own. A．We are accustomed to accepting praise.B．A student is ignored despite his good work.C．To give praise costs the giver almost nothing.D．It’s strange how cautious we are about praisingE．Shakespeare said, “Our praises are our wages.”F．An artist gets complimented for a glorious picture.G．“I can live for two months on a good compliment,” said Mark Twain.三、完形填空There isn’t any doubt that positive thinking is valuable after you find out you have25．A．altitude B．conclusion C．attitude D．decision 26．A．put on B．take on C．look on D．focus on 27．A．What B．When C．Why D．How 28．A．expectation B．effort C．success D．trouble 29．A．turn out B．reach out C．take out D．look out 30．A．encouragement B．anxiety C．surprise D．service 31．A．appeal to B．contribute to C．turn down D．turn to 32．A．carry out B．hold up C．carry on D．get on 33．A．beneficial B．promising C．unique D．harmful 34．A．in B．as C．from D．through 35．A．reliable B．inspiring C．illegal D．side 36．A．refuse B．prefer C．pretend D．happen 37．A．panic B．shake C．handle D．doubt 38．A．Moreover B．Still C．Instead D．But 39．A．help B．guide C．confuse D．guarantee 40．A．respect B．convenience C．meaning D．complaint四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Among tens of thousands of characters, “ren, ai, yi, meng, xiao” are strongly recommended. Obviously, most students think the five characters carry typical Chinese culture in terms of traditional beliefs and core values concerning morality and ethics.Of these characters, I put meng on the top of my list. Holding meng, which means best wishes for the future, one is not only to seek for opportunities for a better life, but also to create brand-new things for people around the world.Personally, Chinese characters are so charming that they are treasures of human cultures. With deep love for Chinese culture, we should strive to promote them to the world.听力原文材料：Text1M: Welcome. Passport and form, please.W: Sure. Here you go.M: Thank you.

Auntie and I will always support you!W: Thank you, Uncle. I will try again.Text4M: Hey mom, are you at the supermarket now?W: Hello? Sweetie, the sound isn’t very clear.M: Don’t forget to bring me some chips, and I don’t want a small bag. I want a big one.W: A pig ship? What is it? A model? I can’t hear you clearly. You can text me. Text5W: Hi, Ben. I will go to the front desk to fetch my package. My new clothes finally came!M: Did it take a long time?W: Yeah. They made a mistake and sent it to the wrong address.M: I want to send a package too. So I’ll go with you.Text6M: Wow, look! So many people are waiting in line. This place is always packed on Fridays.W: I don’t want to stand here for an hour. Let’s go somewhere else.M: It’s Friday night. Everywhere has a line. Let’s just eat here. We can use a waitlist app.W: A waitlist app? How does that work?M: You just choose the restaurant, and the app will put you on the waitlist and give you a number.W: That’s easy. Does it say how many groups are ahead of us?M: Yeah, 10 groups. So, it’s a 45-minute wait for our table, but we don’t have to stick around here.W: Great. What are we waiting for? Let’s do some shopping to kill time.Text7M: Hey Jen, thank you for helping me bake a cake for my daughter.W: No problem. It’s so sweet of you to make her a cake.M: Yeah, but I’ve never made a cake before. So, hopefully, it’ll be OK!W: I’m sure it will. What’s first on the recipe?M: Well, it says to heat the oven first to 180 degrees.W: I’ll do that while you start mixing the flour.M: OK, I also need eggs, butter, and 2 cups of sugar? Is that too much?W: Nope! 2 cups is perfect. Now we just put the mixture in the pan and bake it for 30 minutes.M: That’s it? Well, that was a piece of cake!W: Do you want to write a special message on it?M: Yes. It’s “Happy every day!”Text8W: Mike, do you know why your brother is crying?M: I don’t know. Maybe because I wouldn’t let him play with my toys.W: That’s not very kind. What do we say in our family?M: Sharing is caring.W: That’s right. Sharing is caring. That means you two need to take turns with your toys.M: But he always plays them alone! He never gives them back.W: You’re his big brother. You need to set an example for him.M: But sometimes he even breaks them!W: I’ll ask him to be more careful. And you can ask him nicely to give them back next time.M: But...W: No buts, Mister! If you don’t listen to my words, I’ll tell your father.Text9W: Hey, are you watching a video of the Chinese space station? Shenzhou-12, right?M: Close. Shenzhou-13.W: It’s hard to keep up with China speed! So how long are they in orbit this time? M: Six months, the longest stay of any single manned fight mission in China’s history.W: So do you watch them conduct experiments or spacewalks or what?M: Pretty much. They even give lessons in the space station!W: I wonder what the Taikonauts do to pass the time up there?M: They go for jogs, play musical instruments, and even play ping-pong.W: Zero-gravity ping-pong! I gotta try that! Who’s that lady floating by?M: That’s Wang Yaping. She’s become somewhat of a celebrity down here on earth.W: Well, women hold up half the sky, so it’s only fitting that they should work in it too.Text10M: Are you a dog person or a cat person? What psychological factors make a person choose one type of pet over the other?An outgoing person prefers dogs. This should really come as no surprise. Owning a dog is a social experience, because you always have to walk them and interact with other dog owners. If you really like talking to other people, a dog might be for you. Cats on the other hand tend to stay at home, which means that taking care of a cat requires much less social interaction.Cat people are smarter. While studies show that dog lovers are more outgoing and lively, cat lovers score higher on intelligence tests, and are said to be more open-minded. They are also more curious about the world, even though they might not leave the house to see it as much!Do you love a dog or a cat? Are you a different kind of pet person like a turtle person or a bird person? Does your personality match with some features we talked about earlier? I hope my speech will be helpful to you. Thank you for listening!。

And then when it’s suddenly gone, the magic is gone.” Bachman said. ⑱He bought the guitar as a teenager in the early 1960s with $400 saved up from washing cars and babysitting. He had long admired the instrument, spending hours staring at it in a shop window with his friend and fellow musician Neil Young. Over the decades, Bachman hunted for his guitar. ⑲A Canadian fan, William Long, decided to help withthe search in 2020. “Yeah, I’m a detective,” Long said. “I was confident I was going to find it.” Finally he found that a Japanese musician called Takeshi played Bachman’s beloved guitar in a video. ⑳Takeshi bought Bachman’s guitar in 2014 for around 850,000 yen ($6,300). Long alerted Bachman to his discovery, and the musicians arranged to meet in Tokyo to exchange Bachman’s original guitar with another of the same type, also made in 1957.。
