山东省淄博市实验中学2018届高三4月教学诊断考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Movies are a great means of entertainment for many. There are some advantages of watching movies. Comedies, for example, help reduce your blood pressure. Laughter for 15 minutes during a film makes your blood vessels (血管) Wilder. Besides, when you watch a sad movie, you’re more likely to come away from it thinking about loved ones and feeling happy about what you have.Watching movies can make you creative. A study shows that young children, who watched the use of magic in Harry Potter, score significantly higher in a creative thinking test than children who watched something else.Moreover, movies are very useful for strengthening peopled mental health. They enable people to take time to really relax and temporarily forget about their daily concerns and problems.However, watching movies aren’t always beneficial. Studies have shown that some people get real pleasure out of being scared by horror movies, but in various ways they may be risking their physical and mental health without even knowing it. When you watch a tense scene in a movie, your heart rate and blood pressure increase. Meanwhile this change in your brain chemistry reminds you of times when you were in a similar state, even if you have no idea you even had those memories. So if something horrible happens to you, being scared again by a movie can unintentionally make you experience it once more.Scientists, politicians and parents have debated for decades if being exposed to movie violence leads to actual real-life violence. Overall the answer to that is probably still up in the air, but a new study seems to prove that watching aggression on screen can contribute to being a bully (土霸) in mil life, even if it is just in the short term.In conclusion, certain movies play a positive role, but not all movies do. It depends completely on the subject of the movie. So it’s always advisable to choose the movies concerning something positive.1．How docs watching sad movies benefit us according to the text?A．It makes us content with our lives.B．It rides us of unhappy memories.C．It reduces our risk of illness.D．It develops our creativity.2．What does the underlined part “up in the air” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Meaningless. B．Attractive.C．Uncertain. D．Obvious.3．What does the author advise us to do to reduce the passive effect of movies?A．Enjoy movies with more companions.B．Make a wise choice of what to watch.C．Try our best to watch movies less often.D．Raise our ability to tell right from wrong.Sometimes your expectations don’t survive. But you have to make it through.After a lengthy visa application procedure, I left my father with our dog, jumped on a flight, and there I was in London. Since Europe is an aspiration in my country, I had imagined it as a place where things always worked perfectly. I was alone in dealing with all kinds of problems as they arose, that was alright and this is how I became my own “special person” during my Erasmus exchange.The accommodation I could afford was far from the city. To make things worse, I was new to many things, and definitely an outsider. But it wasn’t an exception to carelessness, I found out. My dorm was in a silent neighborhood. Little did I know that those calm streets would he visited by loud fire trucks...And because of me!That morning, I closed the kitchen door after placing some bread in the toaster. I was still half asleep and looking for what to wear. For some reason, the automatic mechanism of the toaster to push the slices up didn’t work. When I went back to the kitchen. It was full of thick white smoke. Coughing hard, I opened the windows, stepped outside the door for a breath, and then went in again to reach for the fire extinguisher(灭火器). It was the first time I used one, and had to get out of the kitchen to be able to see how to unlock it. It was only then the fire alarm went off! I went in again and made sure I put off the fire.Nothing was like how I planned. A few times I hung out in the school cafeteria, but couldn’t make friends. I went to discover the city, alone. Independence wasn’t something to be ashamed of after all. I wish I had made friends with people, but it turned out that I had to learnI wasn’t in need of others’ company to e njoy life. I tried to make the best of my time, thinking that being alone is a blessing too, just like being with friends is. My international experiences that followed definitely made me more social, but now I know that being alone is not a weakness, but a part of life embrace. Just like our mistakes, carelessness or bad luck, I can say it was during my time in London that I learnt I was, despite everything, a strong and special person who can cope with (处理) anything that comes her way.4．What does the und erlined words “it wasn’t an exception to carelessness” probably refer to? A．I was careless to cause a fireB．I shouldn’t be careless in a foreign countryC．I was supposed to handle hardships abroad on my ownD．the accommodation of exchange students is always out-of-the-way5．How did the author feel about his experience when living abroad by himself? A．Helpless. B．Meaningless.C．Fruitful. D．Regretful.6．We can learn from the second paragraph that the author ________.A．had expected everything abroad would go smoothly before leaving his country B．hadn’t been prepared to handle the problems abroad before goingC．got his visa without much difficultyD．went abroad with his dog7．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．What Made Me Become My Own Hero?B．My Study Experience in the UKC．Being Alone Is Definitely an Awful ThingD．An Unforgettable Experience of Putting Out a Fire in LondonRobotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.However, unlike the plot of one film—which featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientists bloodstream — this device could not be inserted into blood vessels (管) because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have beendeveloped in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.To test their latest version, Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to he an odd task, but more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus (食道) and stomach made out of silicone (硅胶). It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine (肠), and contains a little magnet. This is folded up and encased in a 10mm×27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus(肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery bum to speed up healing.The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to succeed.8．According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to ________. A．travel through a scientist’s bloodstreamB．photograph the body to convey to the doctorC．enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairsD．operate on a person outside the body completely9．We learn from Paragraph 3 that ________.A．the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animalB．one robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnetC．digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for childrenD．the actual size of the robot may he larger than the capsule of ice10．What may the experiment mean to the medical world?A．The surgeries will cost patients much money.B．Patients will suffer less for sonic surgeries.C．Fewer children will swallow the button cells.D．A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels.11．Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?A．An Experiment on RobotB．Tiny Robot, Great ResearchersC．The Exploration of Robot TechnologyD．The Fantastic Robotic V oyageScientists announced that they had found the gravitational waves (引力波) that confirmed a prediction made by Albert Einstein a century ago. The discovery, made with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational—Wave Observatory, known as LIGO, is the milestone in a decades-long search for signs of this phenomenon. “The discovery will open a new window onto the universe,” said David Reitze, executive director of LIGO.Since humans first watched skyward, we have relied on light of all wavelengths to describe the universe. The light that could be seen first showed the starry heavens, while infrared (红外线的) waves allowed us to see older and more distant stars.But now, researchers will be able to sense the universe in a whole new way: with their “ears”. “We can hear gravitational waves. We can hear the universe,” Gabriela Gonzalez, LIGO’s spokeswoman at Louisiana State University, said. “‘That’s one of the beautiful things about this: We are not only going to be seeing the universe, we are going to be listening to it.”Gravitational waves, which Einstein predicted as part of his general theory of relativity, occur as objects accelerate or decelerate through space, much the way a boat moving on a lake sends waves across the water’s surface. But they’re so tiny that until now it’s been nearly impossible to find them, even those caused by something as large as a planet moving around the sun.To pick up this signal, scientists have to look for violent events in the universe. This particular signal appears to have been caused by a collision. That occurred about 1.3 billion years ago between two black holes, holding 29 and 36 solar masses (太阳质量).Fiona Harrison, chair of Caltesh’s division of physics, mathematics and astronomy, guessed that hundreds of new events would be found over the next few years, allowingscientists to perform a range of different types of studies. “There are probably many events we haven’t dreamed of and this is just the beginning,” she said.12．Why did Gabricla Gonzalez think LIGO’s discovery important?A．It confirmed Einstein’s scientific discovery.B．It allowed scientists to see more distant stars.C．It changed traditional ideas about the universe.D．It offered a different way to study the universe.13．It’s hard to find gravitati onal waves because they ________.A．are too far to be feltB．are disturbed by other planetsC．are too weak to be observedD．disappear soon after they happen14．What does the underlined word “collision” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．crash B．receivingC．circle D．movement15．It can be concluded that ________.A．gravitational waves also exist in objects at restB．there’s a long way to go in studying the universe.C．gravitational waves show the beginning of the universe.D．scientists began studying universe in recent years.二、七选五16．. The increasing costs make us doubt whether there’s real value to a college education. Is the thousands of dollars of debt and the time lost for study worthwhile? The answer may lie in the value of a college education and rates of return on investment.On the financial side, there’s enough data to suggest that on average a college graduate will earn a great deal more than a high school graduate. In America, over a lifetime a college graduate will earn on average about MYM2.1 million compared to MYM1.2 million for a high school graduate. Compared with the cost of attending a four-year university, aboutMYM10,000 per year, and even adding the cost of lost working time, 17．.College graduates have the possibility of increased earning power. 18．. The Institute for Higher Education Policy ever published a report stating that people who finished a college oruniversity program experienced a number of assistant (辅助的) benefits. They included higher levels of saving，improved quality of life, more hobbies and free time activities.And for well-educated people, they tend to be more open-minded and more cultured. 19．. Many research studies have shown a positive connection between higher education and good health, not only for yourself, but also for your children,So it appears that there’s really much value in a college education. 20．.Go now! A．They also enjoy other benefits.B．To encourage us to have a high college education.C．Why not go to college and have a high college education?D．It costs a lot to go to college or university.E.It's clearly of financial value to attend university.F.Some previous research can prove this.G.Besides, college education can even improve your health.三、完形填空Only one woman is responsible for my success: my mom.

But my mom didn’t 33 hope, and responded sincerely, “I see. Then can you do me a favor, if he does? I’d 34 it if you’d put together the paperwork quickly. I need a shop in order to support my family.”Moved by her 35 , the manager agreed to do as she asked.
