2021届瑞金第二中学高三英语第四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AIf you had the opportunity to live forever, would you take it? Keeping your body alive indefinitely still seems like an impossibility, but some scientists think that digital technology may have the answer: creating a digital copy of your “self” and keeping it “alive” online long after your physical body has ceased to function.In effect, the proposal is to clone a person electronically. Unlike the familiar physical clones — children that have identical features as their parents, but that are completely separate organisms with a separate life — your electronic clone would believe itself to be you. How might this be possible? The first step would be to mapthe brain.How? One plan relies on the development of nanotechnology (纳米技术). Ray Kurzweil — one of the kings of artificial intelligence — predicts that within two or three decades we will have nano transmitters that can be put into the bloodstream. Inthe capillaries (毛细血管) of the brain, they would line up alongside the neurons and detect the details of the cerebral (大脑的) electronic activity. They would be able to send that information to a receiver inside a special helmet, so there would be no need for any wires sticking out of the head.As a further step, Ray Kurzweil also imagines the nano transmitters being able to connect you to a world of virtual reality on the Internet, similar to what was shown in the film “Matrix”. With the nano transmitters in place, by thought alone, you could log on to the Internet and instead of the pictures coming up on your screen, they would play inside your mind. Rather than send your friends e-mails you would agree to meet up on some virtual tropical beach.Some peoplebelieve that they can enjoy life after death. But why wait for that when you could have a shot of nanobots (纳米机器人) and upload your brain onto the Internet and live forever as a virtual surfer?One snag: to exist on the net you will have to have your neural network parked on the computer of a web-hosting company. These companies want real money in real bank accounts every year or they will wipe your bit of the hard disc and sell the space to someone else. With your body six feet underground how will you pay?1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Nano transmitters can help map the human brain.B. Electronic clones recreate the original human body.C. Electronic clones may put their physical selves into movies.D. Nano transmitters use a helmet to detect the cerebral activities.2. What is the author’s attitude towards electronic clones?A. Optimistic and careful.B. Interested and unconvinced.C. Excited and confused.D. Assured and critical.3. The author asks “how will you pay?” at the end of the article, because ________.A. you can’t pay to exist on the Internet if you are physically deadB. you can’t pay for hard disc space if you don’t have a bank accountC. you can’t pay for a special service if too many people want to use itD.you can’t pay the web-hosting company if you don’t have a neural networkBGlobal food demand will double by 2050, according to a new projection, and the farming techniques used to meet that unprecedented(空前的) demand will significantly determine how severe the impact is on the environment, researchers said.The study researchers warned that meeting the demand for food would clear more land, increase nitrogen(氮) use and significantly add to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.“Agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions could double by2050 if current trends in global food production continue,” study researcher David Tilman, of theUniversityofMinnesota, said in a statement. “This would be a major problem, since global agriculture already accounts for a third of all greenhouse gas emissions.”The researchers studied various ways in which the increasing food demand could be mentioned. They found that the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach would be for more food producers to adopt the nitrogen-efficient “intensive” farming method, which involves the heavy use of labor and the production of more crops per acre.This approach was shown to be more effective than the “extensive” farming currently practiced by many poor nations, a method that includes clearing more new land to produce more food.Different farming methods produce significantly different yields, the researchers found — in 2005, the crop yields for the wealthiest nations were more than 300 percent higher than what the poorest nations produced.According to their analysis of the effects of extensive farming, if poorer nations continue using this method, by 2050theywill have cleared an area larger than theUnited States, about 2.5 billion acres. However, if wealthy nations help poorer nations to improve food yields by incorporating(吸收) intensive farming practices, thatnumber could be reduced to half a billion acres.The researchers stress that the environmental effects of meeting future food demand depend on how global agriculture expands and develops.“Our analyses show that we cansave most of the Earth’s remaining ecosystems by helping the poorer nations of the world feed themselves,” Tilman said.4. What is the best title of this passage?A. The World Will Need Double Food by 2050B. Man Will Face the Risk of Lacking Food in the FutureC. Future Farmers Hold Environment’s Fate in Their HandsD. Different Farming Methods Produce Significantly Different Yields5. The character of the extensive farming is ________.A. very cost-effectiveB. to produce more crops per acreC. at cost of more new land to produce more foodD. very environmentally friendly6. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. poorer nations mainly use the intensive farmingB. wealthy nations mainly use the extensive farmingC. the intensive farming needs less food producersD. the extensive farming has a worse effect on ecosystems7. According to the passage, the underlined word “they” in the 7th paragraph refers to “________”.A. poorer nationsB. the effects of extensive farmingC. wealthy nationsD.future food demandCFor years, life went something like this: We’d grow up in one place, head off to college, and then find a city to get a job and live there for a few years. The final goal was to find somewhere to settle down, buy a house, start a family, and begin the whole cycle all over again. But now some people are increasingly choosing to move from city to city throughout their entire lives, sometimes as frequently as every month.Just ask Alex Chatzieleftheriou, who has had a front-row seat watching this evolution unfold. Six years ago, he launched a startup called Blueground that rents out beautifully designed, fully furnished apartments for a month at a time, at rates that are cheaper than hotels. And it aims to make each one feel unique and comfortable,rather than standardized, like what you might find in a traditional hotel.Today, the company has 3,000 properties(房地产) in six U.S. cities, along with Dubai, Istanbul, London, Paris, and Chatzieleftheriou’s native Athens, and a staff of 400. With the helpof the Series B round of funding, the company landed $ 50 million, plus its previous total of $ 28 million, to continue its rapid expansion. It hopes to have 50,000 properties in 50 cities over the next three years.Chatzieleftheriou first came up with the idea for Blueground while he was working as a management consultant for McKinsey. “The accommodation of choice for consultants is the hotel,” he says. “I had to spend five years in hotel rooms, living in 12 different cities. I loved seeing the world, but I didn’t love feeling like I didn’t have a home.” And what’s more, hotels aren’t a particularly cost-effective solution for companies either. In Chatzieleftheriou’s case, McKinsey sometimes paid $ 10,000 or more for him to stay in a major city for a month.8. What does the author intend to tell in the first paragraph?A. A new lifestyle is appearing.B. Life is just like a circle for people.C. Most people are used to an easy life.D. People live in different places in life.9. What is the goal of Blueground?A. To compete with hotels.B. To create standardized hotels.C. To make renters feel at home.D. To rent out long-term apartments.10. What do we know about Blueground?A. It got a total investment of $ 78 million.B. Its business is anything but satisfying.C. It expanded to every corner of the world.D. It has 50,000 properties in 50 cities.11. What does the last paragraph focus on?A. High costs of hotels.B. Chatzieleftheriou’s former work.C Strengths of Blueground.D. The inspiration for Blueground.DDid you know that the average child has heard the word "no" over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three? Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The "terrible twos" are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful, the children will watch us model a world of "NOs".By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the "NOs" we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run intopeople with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!12. What do we know about two- year- olds?A. They understand well.B. They often say no to others.C. They think logically.D. They don't do all they're told.13. What effect does saying no have on children?A. They lose all their dreams.B. They aren't easy to succeed.C. They don't make mistakes.D. They never say yes to others.14. Which word best describes the author's attitude to a world of "NOs"?A. Tolerant.B. Disapproving.C. Favorable.D. Carefree.15. What is the text?A. A how-to guide.B. A survey report.C. An opinion essay.D. A short story.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。

Males and females 1 different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to 2 differences in brain structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets and solving math problems 3 women are better at memorizing words and 4 faces.

Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions —one controlling the sense of space, 5 , the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains 6 from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women 7 the children. Men had to have good aim.

The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine” of 1845~1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to Old World.

They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizo n---- it is already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to recorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel（职员）and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities（功用）to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.1. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to _____.A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes。

Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, Steve took time to ask me what had happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt' s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess to it. After all, I should have been playing in the park and not in the path between buildings.

The finale （终场）of the hit show' s second season was shown on Feb. 7this year.Wu Yishu, 16, who studies at the High School Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, came out on top. In an earlier episode （―集）,Wu wowed the audience when performing in a section entitled 〃Feihualing〃・ The game' s theme was "yue" , meaning "moon" or "month" in Chinese. She recited the lines from the Classic of Poetry, the earliest collection of poems in China： "In July, the crickets （蟋蟀）are in the field. In August, they are in the yard. In September they are at the door. In October, they enter and crawl under our beds. 〃“I really admire her knowledge of poems, " said Huang Zijin, 16, a Senior 2 studentfrom Ningbo High School in Zhejiang province, “The first time I saw her wearing traditional Han clothing on TV, I was very impressed by her classical looks.

What' s more, she always appears so calm throughout the show, which is very unusual for her age."As the old saying goes, “ One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance, " "Learning poems isn' t about winning or losing. The power of poetry lies in shaping one' sview of life and developing one' s inner world, " said Li Bo, an expert guest at the Chinese Poetry Competition' s second season.When it comes to teaching people about poetry, Li Dingguang, the show' s academic advisor, suggested that teachers should explain more about the beauty of the poetry from both the aesthetic （审美的）and emotional sides, and guide the students to lose themselves in the poems' rhythmic（有节奏的）and rhyming lines.a Although the amount of ancient Chinese poetry in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools has increased, many students still learn them for exams, " Li Dingguang told China, org. cn. “Therefore, it' s important to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry. ”28.What' s one of the purposes of the TV show Chinese Poetry Competition?A.To entertain people by enjoying Chinese poems.B.To see who can recite the most classic Chinese poems.C.To make more people interested in classic Chinese poetry.D.To fulfill people' s fantasies for Chinese women' s talents29.From Paragraphs 3 and 4, what can we infer about Wu Yishu?A.She is a talented and elegant Chinese teenager.B.She has learned a large amount of poetry from textbooks.C.She is always calm in the show lik.e other competitors of her age.D.She amazed the audience with the lines from the Classic of Poetry in the finale.30.According to Li Bo, why do people learn poetry?A.To get good marks in examinations.B.To help build up their inner world.C.To win the Chinese Poetry Competition.D.To appreciate the beauty of rhythm and rhyme.31.What is Li Dingguang, s attitude to poetry teaching?A.

Talk to ourselves, whether out loud o.r silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Far from being a sign of mental illness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, and regulate our emotions.Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with her toys. You are very likely to hear her talking to herself: offering herself directions and giving voice to her frustrations. Psychologists refer to this as private speech: language that is spoken out loud but directed at the self.Self-talk has many advantages. If you want proof, turn on the sports channel. You' re bound to see an athlete preparing himself with a quick phrase or scolding himself after a bad shot. Andy Murray owed his 2012 US Open victory to a self-talk he gave himself in front of a changing-room mirror. Gymnastics star Laurie Hernandez in Rio. The athletes are doing it for good reason: Self-talk has been shown to bring benefits in sports as diverse as badminton, darts and wrestling.Those of us who lack the talent of a Hernandez or a Murray are also likely to talk to ourselves aloud, particularly when the task is difficult and the conditions stressful. Conducting a dialogue with ourselves一asking questions of the self and providing answers一seem to be a particularly good way of solving problems and working through ideas. Both kinds of self-talk一the silent and the vocal - seem to bring a range of benefits to our thinking.32.Why does the small child talk to herself while playing with toys?A. She is suffering from mental disease.B. She is communicating with toys.C. She is busy directing her toys.D. She is adjusting her mood.33.According to Andy Murray, he won 2012 US Open because .A. he gave himself a private speechB. he criticized himself after a bad tryC. he had a great talent for tennisD. he got well trained for tennis34.Which is NOT the benefit of self-talk?A. It can help us plan well.B. It can help us manage activities.C. It can help us identify mental illness.D. It can help us adjust emotions.35.What can we infer about self-talk from the last paragraph?A.Only players like to talk to themselves.B.We are likely to have vocal self-talk while doing tough tasks.C.The silent self-talk brings more benefits to us than the vocal self-talk.D.Self-talk is no more than meaningless talks.三、短文改错（共1题）1、假段定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

江西省瑞金市2014高考英语阅读理解和完形填空训练（12）（含答案）AMost people want to know how things are made. They honestly admit, however, that they hardly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer (作曲家) begins, how he manages to keep going－in fact, how and where he learns his trade－all are covered_in_complete_darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery(神秘)．One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration (灵感) plays in a composer’s work. H e finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for.The composer, therefore, does not say to himself：“Do I feel inspired？”He says to himself：“Do I feel like working today？”And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself：“Do I feel sleepy？”If you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you don’t feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer doesn’t feel like working, he doesn’t work. It’s as simple as that.1．What would be the best title for the text?A. Composer: a man of mysteryB. Practice makes good musicC. Relation between sleeping and musicD. Music: product of nature2．The words “covered in complete darkness”underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean ______.A. difficult to be madeB. without any lightC. black in colorD. not known3．Most people seem to think that a composer ______.A. finds it difficult to write musicB. considers it important to have a good restC. should like to talk about inspiration5.方茴说：“那时候我们不说爱，爱是多么遥远、多么沉重的字眼啊。
