2019届高三英语9月月考试题 (I)第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to bee dull and unintelligent. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”1. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second p aragraph means ________.A. great and important; monB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingD. hopeful and helpful; careless2. A person ________ is more likely to bee a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use3. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.C. The less you use your mind the duller you may bee.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor.On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life." At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave."As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher.It obviously isn't the money.Once a former puter science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change.He was working at Nintendo Corporation.His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade.With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired.I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework.She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class — not about math, but about life — would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.As I finished reading, I remembered why I had bee a teacher.Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns,I did so with renewed dedication （奉献） and a deeper sense of satisfaction— I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.5.Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, theauthor .A.quite agreed with his colleagueB.thought it very funnyC.was very puzzledD.was very sad.6.The puter science student called up the author because he .A.wanted to inform the author of his present jobB.tried to persuade theauthor to work with himC.wanted the author to share his joy and satisfactionD.thought the authorwasn't fit to be a teacher7.The underlined part blue hats and gowns refers to .A.university colleaguesB.life memoriesC.graduates' clothesD.decorations in the hall8.The author wrote this passage to .A.express his devotion to being a teacherB.pare two differentgraduation ceremoniesC.talk about the meaning of graduationD.give advice on how to bea good teacherCIf you want to get something done, you might want to put your mobile phone backin your pocket. Researchers have found that the mere presence of a phone is distracting(分心) — even if it is not your own. And the devices(设备) are likelyto distract you, even if they are not ringing or “pinging” with text messages. People asked to carry out electronic tests of their attention spans (持续时间) were found to perform worse when a mobile phone was present than other people performingin the presence of a paper notepad.Scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan said that their findings show that it is harder to concentrate when one of the electronic devices is present. The effect was most marked on people who are not regular users of phones. In testson 40 undergraduates, Associate Professor Junichiro Kawahara and a colleague dividedthe subjects into two groups — one asked to carry out tests in the presence of an Apple iPhone next to a puter monitor, and the other in the presence of a notebook.The test involved asking the participant to search for a particular characteramong a mess of other characters on the screen. Researchers measured the time it took to find the target. The results of the experiment found that those with the mobile phone took longer to find the character “indicating that participants were automatically distracted by the presence of the phone”. The researc hers suggest that people are “drawn to the presence of a mobile phone” although there are individual differences in how one attempts to ignore it. In conclusion, Professor Kawahara said, “The mere presence of a mobile phone was a distraction among infreque nt internet users.”Another finding is that listening to one half of a mobile phone conversation also distracts people, and other studies have found that placing a mobile phone in view has a negative impact on the quality of face-to-face munications. Holding a mobile phone makes you less likely to get a fair hearing from others.9. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A mobile phone won’t distract people unless it’s ringing.B. People find it hard to concentrate if their phones are present.C. Text messages distract people even if phones are power off.D. A paper notepad can help people record much information.10. Who will be affected most according to the findings?A. People irregularly using phones.B. People regularly using phones.C. People usually using notepads.D. People always using puters.11. In a face-to-face munication, what is the effect of putting a mobile phone in sight?A. It makes listeners feel much awkward.B. It causes other people to lose respect for you.C. It reduces people’s attention to listening to others.D. It makes the air of the conversation more pleasant.12. What can we learn from the text?A. People perform worse with a mobile phone at hand.B. Mobile phones do a lot of damage to people’s health.C. People working with mobile phones will do very well.D. Phones should be banned in all schools and universities.DEarth’s next superpowerThe following countries have been sitting on hidden talents.And now they’re about to fly.NIGERIA (尼日利亚)Nigeria says it pumps out as much oil as the other two oil－producing countries, Kuwait and Iraq.All this oil is cycling cash into the Nigerian economy and creating extremely rich businessmen.Analysts say that if Nigeria can improve its schools and technology, it could balloon into the world’s 13th largest economy by 2050, right between Turkey and Italy.If that reason is not enough for optimism, Nigeria’s president also has the sunniest name of any world leader: Goodluck Jonathan.VIETNAMAs agriculture has given way to industry, unemployment in Vietnam has dropped.What’s Vietnam’s trick? It’s ready to work.Other countries’ laborers aren’t as cheap as they used to be, which makes Vietnam a relative bargain for panies that need new factories abroad.However, the country has almost no railroads, its highways are in poor condition, and its largest city has just one airport, which was built before the Vietnam War.So what’s the use of producing export－ready goods if there’s no convenie nt way to ship them? The good thing is, however, officials are widening highways, building a new airport and so on.CHILE (智利)Pipes, puters, motors, and your microwave all have one thing in mon: They’re made with copper (铜).Copper makes the world go round.And lucky for Chile, it’s got about a third of the planet’s copper supply.It just needs a way to dig it up and the government is pouring money into the country’s mines.13.Which country will Nigeria be expected to follow in respect of economy by 2050?A.Kuwait.B.Iraq.C.Turkey.D.Italy.14.What’s the problem Vietnam is facing?A.It doesn’t have money to build new factories.B.Its people don’t have enough food to eat.C.It is suffering from the Vietnam War.D.Its transport system is very poor.15.What will Chile depend on to get developed?A.High tech.B.Natural resources.C.Investments from other countries.D.The government’s good administration.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world. ___16___“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for. ___17___. Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university. First, it is important to realize what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in. ___18___. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.Then ask yourself this question: in the following three areas ― skills with people, skills with information and skills with things ― which are your best skills?After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers. ___19___.Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! ___20___.A.

ATayka Hotel de SalWhere: Tahua, BoliviaHow much: About $ 95 a nightWhy it's cool: You've stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That's something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal i s made totally of salt-including the beds (though you'll sleep on regular mattresses and blankets). The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehisto ric dried-up lake which is the world's biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a pas te (糊) of wet salt that hardens when it dries.When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.Green Magic Nature ResortWhere: Vythiri, IndiaHow much: About $ 240 a nightWhy it's cool: Taking a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of yo ur adventure. As you look out of your open window-there is no glass! -you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy(罩篷). Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the h andmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit o n your bamboo bed and read. You don't even have to come d own for breakfast-the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”.Dog Bark Park Inn B&BWhere: Cottonwood, IdahoHow much: $ 92 a nightWhy it's cool: This doghouse isn't just for the family pet.

Experience what it was lik e 5,000 years ago, when people lived in these mountain cave s formed by volcanic ash. But your stay will be much more mo dern. Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel, and the white volcanic ash, called tufa, keeps the rooms cool in summer. (Don't worry-there is heat in winter. )1.

Gamirasu Cave Hotel.BChicago is considering firm measures to prevent the Asian ca rp，a giant fish native to the Far East，from coming into North America’s Great Lakes in large numbe rs．Such a move could cost up to$18bn，a heavy economic burden to the city.This species，more than a metre in length，was originally introduced to southern US states three decades ago to control weeds in sewage(污水)treatment plants．But they escaped into the Mississippi Ri ver and increased in number quickly，making their way north towards the Great Lakes and threateni ng the native fish species along the way.“Dozens of them will often leap out of the water as boats appr oach．’’Michael Beecham，a local environmental expert，described how frightening the scene was．“I’ve gone down th e river and seen these fish jump up and hit me in the face．It i s a big problem for our native species.” he said.A meeting has been organized to find a technological solution to the carp problem，one of which involves blocking parts of Chicago’s canal syste m．Listening at the meeting was John Goss，who was worried about the effect that having barriers in the c anal system would have on industry．“It would certainly incre ase the cost of transportation，”he told．“It is currently very c heap and efficient to bring materials and finished goods down the Chicago ship canal.’’Another cheaper option is to eat the fish out of existence．Dir k Fucik is selling carp burger(鲤鱼汉堡包) at his fish shop not far from downtown Chicago．He think s the carps are a great resource．“To catch it and throw it aw ay is a waste，”he says．“Eating them helps solve the proble m and also provides jobs．”But the idea has not yet caught o n．So far，he is the only person in Chicago selling carp burgers. 4．From the passage we can see the Asian carp___________ ________.A．is very adaptable to the new environmentB．is originally used to control weeds in the Great Lakes C．is becoming a new food in restaurantsD．becomes even more fierce than before5．From John Goss’s point of view，the building of barriers __________________.A．can force the Asian carp out of the Great LakesB．may lead to the increasing cost of industrial products C．will help the canal system work more efficientlyD．will bring high profits to the related companies6．What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passa ge?A．The Americans have included the Asian carp in their food list.B．Dirk Fucik is a pioneer in selling carp burgers in Chicago ．C．Catching Asian carps has created many jobs in America ．D．Throwing away the caught fish is a waste of the resources ．7．What’s the best title of the passage?A．The Great Lakes，new home for Asian CarpsB．The Asian carp escapes from the Great Lakes C．Possible ways to handle non-native speciesD．Chicago goes to war with Asian carpsCWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense o f humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps (处于沮丧中), as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my h eart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-workers, neighbors, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't k now the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always f ound humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest jo b anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any si tuation, but also is common courtesy（礼貌）to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling o n the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the jok e that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just s it there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke？Laughing is essential to keeping your stress levels under c ontrol. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of ps ychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us fro m going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present worl d. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass t he sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe o ur best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and ha ve some fun laughing together.8. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that _ ___________.A. it makes people more confidentB. it can pick up people’ s spiritsC. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the worldD. it can help people get on well with others9. The author answers the question in the second paragraph with ___________.A. facts and descriptionsB. evidence and argumentC. examples and conclusionD. stories and pe rsuasion10. The phrase "busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be r eplaced by __________.A. explaining carefullyB. speaking loudC. keeping silentD. laughing hard11. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to _____ _____.A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about lifeDAs a group of young African immigrants struggle to adapt to lif e in the United States, an after-school drama program at White Oak Middle School aims to m ake their lives easier by first making them a little harder. Project X is a program that uses drama, dance, poetry and ot her creative outlets to help students discuss the tough and so metimes painful problems they face as pre-teen immigrants with language barriers. A final unveiling of th eir creation will be performed for friends and family at the end of the year at Imagination Stage.Wanjiru Kamau, coordinator of White Oak’s African Club said it’s important to give troubles to group members to help them f ind their place at the school. “It comforts those who are unco mfortable, and it discomforts those who are comfortable,”Kam au said of Project X.Kamau teamed up with Imagination Stage after she noticed th at many African students seemed uncomfortable talking about problems, such as being laughed at by their fellow students a bout how they look and talk. When most of the kids join the cl ub, they speak little or no English, Kamau said. Each week, the club typically draws five to ten students who are originally fr om Africa for discussion sessions and the Project X program.“We are going to express ourselves through our words and ou r actions, and that’s powerful,” said teaching artist Meg Green as she introduced fill-in-the-blank poems the students wrote about their identities.One student, Frank Ketchouang, 13, wrote, “I am from the wo rld; I am love,” which drew oohs and aahs from the group. Ket chouang has been in the United States for less than a year, s aid Program Coordinator Chad Dike. When Ketchouang starte d attending Project X, he had been in the United States for tw o months and spoke no English. Now he’s one of the group’s most outgoing members and helps translate instructions from English to Creole for the group’s newest member, who is from Haiti.Many people will give up when there’s a language barrier, “bu t these students prove them wrong” Kamau said. “You do hav e something to give. You are important. When TV, media, etc. are bringing them down, this program is bringing them up.”12. Project X is intended for helping the young African immigr ants to_________.A. get over language barriersB. enrich after-school lifeC. overcome tough problemsD. become more creative13. How well the members learn in the Project X program is s hown by_________.A. their annual creative performancesB. their annual scores gained at schoolC. the comments of friends and familyD. the comments of the program teachers14. What do we know about the Imagination Stage?A. It’s established by Kamau for Project X.B. It’s a cooperative partner of White Oak’s African Club.C. It’s a project designed by White Oak Middle School.D. It’s operated once at the end of each year.15. The passage is written mainly to_______.A. introduce the Project X programB. inspire immigrants to never give upC. advocate White Oak’s African ClubD. call for more attention to immigrants第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Adults need about eight hours． For most school-age children¸ ten hours is ideal(理想的)． But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found th at 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours． And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV．“More children are going to bed with TVs on¸and there are mo re opportunities(机会) to stay awake¸with more homework¸the Internet and the phone¸” says Dr． Mary Carskadon¸ a sleep researcher at Bro wn University Medical School． She says these activities at b edtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to ca lm down and sleep． 0ther experts say part of the problem is chemical． Changing levels of body chemicals called hormon es not only make teenagers’ bodies develop adult characterist ics¸but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm．Because sleepiness is such a problem for te enagers¸some sc hool districts have decided to start high school classes later th an they used to． Three years ago¸ schools in Edina¸ Minnes ota¸ changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am． Stude nts¸parents and teachers are pleased with the results．6． What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on? A． American kids’ sleeping habits． B．Teenagers’ sle ep-related diseases．C． Activities to prevent sleeplessness． D． Learning pro blems and lack of sleep．7． How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day?A． 7 hours． B． 8 hours． C． 10 hours． D．18 hours．8． Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskado n?A． They are affected by certain body chemicals． B． They tend to do things that excite them．C． They follow their parents’ examples． D． They don’t need to go to school early．CPassenger pigeons(旅鸽) once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers． Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centurie s described flocks(群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours．It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons – a n umber equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird i n the world． Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had a lready become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinn ati．Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been t heir undoing． Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands． Commercia l hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited u ntil pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over the m, taking hundreds at a time． The birds were shipped to larg e cities and sold in restaurants．By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood fore sts where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by A m ericans’ need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where c old temperatures and spring storms contributed to their declin e． Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again ．In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killi ng of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had b een seen in the state for 10 years． The last confirmed wild pi geon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, 0 hio, in 1900． For a time, a few birds survived under human c are． The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914．9． In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _ ______．A． were the biggest bird in the world B． lived mainly in the south of AmericaC． did great harm to the natural environmentD． were the largest bird population in the US10． The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pig eons’ ______．A． escape B． ruin C． liberation D． evolution11． What was the main reason for people to kill passenger p igeons?A． To seek pleasure．B． To save other birds．C． To make money．D． To protect crops．12． What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan? A． It was ignored by the public．B． It was de clared too late．C． It was unfair．D． It was stric t．DHollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly． The re al problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(A I) may become extremely good at achieving something other t han what we really want． In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener¸ who founded the fieldof cybernetics（控制论）¸ put it this way：“If we use¸to achieve our purposes¸a mecha nical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interf ere(干预)¸we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire．”A machine with a specific purpose has another quality¸ one th at we usually associate with living things： a wish to preserve its own existence． For the machine¸ this quality is not in-born¸ nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achie ve its original purpose if it is dead． So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee¸ it will have a stro ng desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task． If we a re not careful¸then¸ we could face a kind of global chess matc h against very determined¸ super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own¸ with the real world as the che ssboard．The possibility of entering into and losing such a match shoul d concentrate the minds of computer scientists． Some resea rchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of fir ewall¸ using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world．Unfortunately¸ that plan se ems unlikely to work： we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans¸ let alone super intelligent m achines．Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy． There are probably deca des in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machine s． But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand¸as it has been by some AI researchers． Some argue that human s and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of hu mans． 0thers say we can just “switch them off” as if super int elligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility． St ill others think that super intelligent AI will never happen． 0n September 11¸1933¸famous physicist Ernest Rutherford state d¸ with confidence¸“Anyone who expects a source of power i n the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine．”However¸ on September 12¸1933¸physicist Leo Szilard invent ed the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction．13． Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence ma y ．A． run out of human controlB． satisfy human’s real desires C． command armies of killer robots D． work faster than amathematician14． Machines with specific purposes are associated with livi ng things partly because they might be able to ．A． prevent themselves from being destroyedB． achieve their original goals independentlyC． do anything successfully with given ordersD． beat humans in international chess matches15． What does the author think of the safety problem of sup er intelligent machines?A． It will disappear with the development of AI．B． It will get worse with human interference．C． It will be solved but with difficulty． D． It will stay for a d ecade．E 七选五Money MattersParents should help their children understand money． 16 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things，candy or toys，for example．1． The basic function of moneyBegin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or-services． It is important to show your child how money is tra ded for the things he wants to have．If

more complex ways of using money．2． Money lessonsApproach money lessons with openness and honesty． 18 If you must say no to a child's request to spend money，explain，"You have enough toy trucks for now． " 0r，if the request is for many different things，say，"You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy． " 3． 19Begin at the grocery store． Pick out two similar brands of a product — a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品)，for example． You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save m oney． 20 If he chooses the cheaper brand，allow him to make another purchase with the money saved．Later， you may explain how the more expensive choice leav es less money for other purchases．A． Wise decisionsB． The value of moneyC． Permit the child to choose between them．D． Tell your child why he can — or cannot — have certain th ings．E． Ask yourself what things that cost money are most import ant to you．F． Talk about how the
