A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored Worldmission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually 9 from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind.10 , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to 11 their products may soon face fierce petition that could put them out of 12 .

He was just twenty-one years old. In his first years in America it was difficult to get a job. Jacob Riis had to go from place to place seeking work. At last, Jacob Riis got a job writing for a newspaper in New York City.This was his chance. He finally found a profession that would lead to his life work—making the world a better place for poor people. The newspaper sent him to police headquarters for stories. There he saw life at its worst, especially in a very poor part of New York which was known as Mulberry Bend. People had no way of finding out how terrible the lives of people were in Mulberry Bend. But as a newspaper reporter, he could find the truth. And he wrote many stories about the life there. Riis started a personal war against slum houses (贫民窟), the sort he saw in Mulberry Bend. He also worked to get laws against child labor, and made sure that these laws were obeyed. And he helped establish centers for older people.His book, How the Other Half Lives, was published in 1890. He became famous. Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, called Riis the most useful citizen in New York City. Riis continued to write about conditions that were in need of major reform. His twelve books, including Children of the Poor, helped improve conditions in the city. The books also made him popular as a speaker in other cities. Jacob Riis’s concern for the poor kept him so busy writing and speaking around the country that he ruined his health.

Decades of remarkable economic growth, beginning in the 1990s, led to a huge flood of cars in cities like Beijing. And as the economy developed, autos pushed bikes off the roads, creating heavy pollution and miserable traffic. Now, Beijing may be returning to its roots with a modern twist. Thanks to about two dozen technology start-ups, brightly-colored shared bikes have flooded Beijing since last year, dotting a normally dull cityscape with flashes of bumblebee yellow, kingfisher blue and tangerine.Costing as little as 7 cents per half-hour and designed to take people the last leg from public transport to their places of work or entertainment, the bikes have the potential to transform urban living and even shape people’s decisions about where to live and work. Those are vital issues in this area of about 20 million people, many of whom spend hours a day commuting (通勤).Riding the bikes requires only a few taps on a smartphone. Customers download one of the start-ups apps,electronically transfer a deposit and then pay per ride by using a bike’s individual code. Bikes that rely on mobile technology feel right at home in a place like Beijing, where even elderly people are often early adapters of technology. Some companies offer booking services and even GPS to enable riders to find the nearest pair of wheels. If a rider finds one, he or she can pick up the bike and then ride and drop it off anywhere he or she likes, locking the back wheel, with no need to find a stand or retie it, in contrast to city bike programs in Paris or New York.1.What’s the author’s purpos e in writing Paragraph 1?A. To talk about Beijing’s rapid development.B. To introduce several technology start-ups.C. To express his opinions about shared bikes.D. To tell us Beijing’s returning to cycling past.2. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 refer to ________.A. colors of bikesB. names of citiesC. brands of carsD. sights of Beijing3. How much will you pay if you ride a shared bike for one hour and a half?A. 7 cents.B. 14 cents.C. 21 cents.D. 28 cents.4. What is a must if you want to use a shared bike?A. Enough cash.B. A smartphone.C. High technology.D. GPS receiver.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

2020-2021学年衡阳市第一中学高三英语第四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AElectric Shocks Can Be FatalGovernment statistics recently showed that in theUK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their homes. A smaller number of people are killed after they touch the power lines outside their homes. Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breath to stop and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic techniques to deal with such emergencies.What to do?● If you are the first person to reach someone who has an electric shock, don't touch him or her!● If the victim is still holding the appliance that gives him or her the shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source.Under no circumstances can you try to move the appliance with your hands!● Ifyou can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.● The victim must remain lying down. If he or she isunconscious, the victim should be placed on his or her side. But he or she should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is ly necessary.● It is essential to maintain the victim's body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸). Keep the victim's head low until professional help arrives.● If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.1. What kind of passage is it?A. An advertisement.B. A horror story.C. A news report.D. First aid emergency advice.2. The underlined sentence implies that ________.A. you should move the applianceB. you should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricityC. it is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your handsD. it is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands3. When a person has got an electric shock, you should ________.A. separate the victim from the appliance and let him sit upB. keep the victim warm and help him or her breathe againC. move the victim onto his or her side if he or she has got neck injuriesD. keep the victim's head high until professional help arrivesBThe Chinese philosopher (哲学家) Confucius once said, “Time flows away like the water in the river.” This is especially true as the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak has affected millions of people in China, andthe whole nation has been working day and night to fight the epidemic.In late January, when an increasing number of people in Wuhan were suspected to be infected, and hospitals didn't have adequate beds for them, two special hospitals—Lei shenshan Hospital and Huo shenshan Hospital were built. These two makeshift (临时的) hospitals were built to treat pneumonia patients infected with the novel coronavirus.HuoshenshanHospitalhas 1,000 beds and covers 33,900 square meters, andLeishenshanHospitalhas 1,500 beds and a total area of about 79,000 square meters. More than 4,000 workers worked 24/7 in two shifts, and nearly 1,000 large-scale pieces of equipment and transport vehicles helped the project on site. The two hospitals were built in an amazingly short time. It only took 10 days for people to build Huo shenshan, and 14 days for Lei shenshan.This certainly wowed many people overseas. “It's incredible that two hospitals with 2,500 beds can be built in a short period. It's just hard to believe,” a foreigner named Stuart told People's Daily. In the meantime, Chinese companies have also taken actions quickly in this battle.“The automobile industry is highly industrialized with strong capabilities in comprehensive manufacturing, purchasing materials, production lines and output of technologies,” Shi Jianhua, deputy secretary-general of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, told CCTV News. “In this special time, when the nation needs more masks, it's time for us to quickly respond and shoulder the social responsibilities.”Indeed, a fast response is crucial in any crisis. In this special time,Chinacan't afford to waste a second in the fight against the epidemic. After all, time equals life during this crisis.4. Confucius' saying “Time flows away like the water in the river.” is mentioned to ______.A. arouse readers' interest in the passage.B. introduce the subject of the passage.C. present the background information.D. stress the value of time in epidemic.5. What can we learn about Lei shenshan hospital and Huo shenshan hospital?A. They are new hospitals for health care inWuhan.B. They were built in minimal time.C. Over 4,000 workers worked continuously.D. Stuart found them too massive to believe.6. We can infer from Shi Jianhua's words that the automobile industry inChina______.A. had no medical supplies factories before.B. guarantees whoever in need enough masks.C. has capabilities to give timely response.D. has strong abilities in manufacturing.7. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. China fights epidemic against the clock.B. Twospecial hospitals were constructed.C. Chinese firms acted quickly and effectively.D. Time is crucial for people in overcoming crisis.CJapan's prime minister encouraged the decision to ban viewers, even family members, by issuing a state of emergency order in Tokyo earlier this month in response to rising COVID-19 case numbers.From the perspective of sports psychologists, an Olympics without fans is a real-life science experiment that is helping researchers and clinicians to comb through the true impact of a crowd of fans on its players—and on viewers at home. The strange circumstances under which the games are held may place unexpected pressure on some athletes. On Tuesday, superstar gymnast Simone Biles dropped out of the women's team event, telling teammates and reporters she wasn't in the right “headspace” to compete. “It's been really stressful this Olympic Games. There are a lot of different variables going into it,” Biles told the Washington Post.The 2020 Summer Olympics bears similarities and differences to other major sporting events without viewers. The English Premier League supplemented (增加) game broadcasts with crowd noise from the soccer video game FIFA 20, mixed with game audio in real time. A Taiwanese baseball team and German soccer team began populating stands with cardboard cutouts of fans, and the trend caught on internationally.Jamey Houle, the lead sports psychologist for Ohio State University Athletics and a former Al-American gymnast, says competitive athletes are trained in visualization— imagining performing a certain action or motion,such as doing a roundoff back handspring in gymnastics. Without moving a muscle, players using visualization can solidify neural (神经的) connections and activate their motor cortex (皮层). To visualize most effectively, Houle says, athletes working with sports psychologists will try to simulate as closely as possible the conditions of actual gameplay. Empty stadiums may thus have a measurable impact on players' performance. This phenomenon is grounded in a psychological concept called “social facilitation”, referring to a change in a person's performance that occurs when others are around compared to when a person is alone.8. What caused Biles to drop out of the women's team event?A. The poor physical condition.B. The absence of the audience.C. The fiercely competitive event.D. The influence of crowds of fans.9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. The Taiwanese baseball team is a success.B. The tendency mentioned is popular among some sporting events.C. The 2020 Summer Olympics is stricter in preventing the pandemic.D. The crowd noise plays a leading role in the English Premier League.10.

Known as the melting pot of Eur ope, it combines the cultures of Europe with astonishing beau ty and fantastic food.Switzerland’s culture is a combination of neighboring states: F rance, Germany, and Italy. The result is a multilingual (多语言的) country, as eastern Switzerland speaks French, the south ern part speaks Italian and the rest speaks German.Like the language, the cuisine is also quite different by region. If you visit cities like Geneva, you’ll find traditional French dis hes like fondue and raclette, melted Swiss cheese served over bread or potatoes. Meanwhile, in German-speaking regions, like Zurich, you’ll find Rosti, a typical side di sh made from fried potatoes.However, if there’s one thing that unites the Swiss and the res t of the world, it’s their love of chocolate. Swiss chocolate fact ories are “the most luxurious in the world”, US travel blogger Sarah Schmalbruch wrote on Business Insider. Famous bran ds, like Lindt, are based in the country. Visitors to Switzerland can enjoy chocolate tasting sessions, and even take classes from master chocolate makers.Aside from the wide variety of food on offer, Switzerland also offers thrills. The Swiss Alps offer year-round skiing and mountain climbing with local experts. Beside s, you can visit the beautiful Matterhorn, known for its distincti ve pyramid shape and snow-capped peak. Standing at a height of more than 4, 400 meters , it is the most pictured mountain in the world, according to S mithsonian magazine.But if city culture is more your thing, you’ll find a wide range of museums and art galleries, not to mention the world’s largest teddy bear museum in Basel.Even the largest Swiss cities tend to be laid back (悠闲自在的), but with many adrenaline- pumping (肾上腺素激增的) activities and cultural sites, Switzerland is perfect for every taste. After all, where else in Europe offers you the culture of four different countries?4.The author presents Switzerland as a multi-cultural country by introducing its _________.nguages and foodB.architecture and foodC.festivals and architectureD.costumes and festivals5.Why are Sarah Schmalbruch’s words quoted?A.To show the history of Swiss chocolates.B.To prove Swiss chocolates are difficult to make.C.To show how delicious Swiss chocolates are.D.To stress the popularity of Swiss chocolates.6.What can you find in Switzerland?A.The safest skiing location.B.The most pictured mountain.C.The largest art gallery.D.The oldest teddy bear museum.7.Where can we most probably read this text?A.In a geography textbook.B.In a science report.C.In a travel magazine.D.In a personal diary.CThe new garbage sorting regulation has taken effect in Shang hai starting July 1. Many citizens are still confused about the c lassification of the four different types of trash. Thankfully, aut horities have released an official guideline to clarify the new r ules.The guideline, published by the Shanghai Greenery and Publi c Sanitation Bureau, provides a rather clear definition on the f our kinds of waste: recyclable waste, hazardous (有害的) waste, household food waste and residual (剩余的) waste. Hazardous waste, as the name suggests, includes assorted (混杂的) poisonous materials like used batteries, light bulbs, out-of-date medicines, paint and pesticides(杀虫剂). Household food waste, which is translated to “wet trash” in Ch inese, refers to food leftovers, rotten food, pet food, fruit peels , remains of TCM herbs (中药) and flowers.Paper, plastic, glass, metal and textiles (纺织品) are counted as recyclable waste.The definition of residual waste is a little confusing. Anything t hat is not listed above belongs in this category.As specific as the new guideline is, residents still have a hardtime sorting trash correctly and are finding it challenging to m emorize them all. For instance, both plastic bottles and bubble tea or coffee cups are plastic materials. However, the former falls to the category of recyclable waste and the latter belongs to residual waste. To save the hassle(分歧), some netizens have come up with their own ways to sor t trash.“We should do this from a pig’s angle,” commented one netize n. “Those edible (可食用的) for pigs are household food waste. Those even pigs don’t want to eat are residual waste. If a pig consumes something a nd dies of it, then something must be hazardous waste. Thos e which can be sold and the money we gain can be used to p urchase pigs are recyclable waste.” The new regulation has g one into effect on July 1. Those who do not sort their trash pro perly will be fined RMB200.8.What do the old thrown-away sweaters belong to?A.Residual waste.B.Hazardous waste.C.Recyclable waste.D.Household food waste.9.What does “wet trash” have in common?A.They are completely wet.B.They all come from plants.C.They can give off bad smell.D.They can break up easily.10.What is the tone of the netizen?A.Humorous.B.Serious.C.Delightful.D.Uncertain.11.What is the main idea of the text?A.Shanghai bans four sorts of garbage.B.Shanghai launches garbage sorting enforcement.(执行)C.Citizens in Shanghai still question garbage sorting.D.Citizens in Shanghai welcome the garbage sorting policy.DI have a degree in business. However, it was my father’s d ecision for me to follow a business major(专业). He thought that having a business degree would make m e more competitive and provide me with more available option s(选择) in entering a global marketplace. I took his advice. Howe ver,even though my college experiences were fantastic,I still h ad no interest in any field of commerce,let alone having a long -term career(职业)as a businesswoman.After I graduated,I worked as a marketing planner at a co mputer company. My pay and working environment were gre at; however,I still didn’t feel happy doing something that I wasn’t interested in. After two months of working there, I made u p my mind to quit and decided to do what I love,namely teachi ng English. I have now been an English teacher for over twent y years. I love my job and love being with my students.If you are in a place where you don’t love what you are lear ning or doing, please ask yourself what you are really enthusi astic about,and what you truly want for your life. Don’t rush to get yourself a quick answer. Take some time to think about w hat career could make you happy. The important thing is that you are happy and then you are able to bring happiness to pe ople around you. Therefore,you will be a success. There is a quote(引语) that says,“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. ”If you love what you are doing,you will be successful.12.How did the author feel about her major at college?A.Nervous.B.Doubtful.C.Disappointed.D.Uninterested.13.What made the author quit her first job?A.The dissatisfactory salary.B.Her sticking to her true liking.C.Her father’s desire and arrangement.D.The second job’s better working environment.14.Why is a quote used in paragraph 3?A.To show how to be successful in life.B.To introduce a way to find a good job.C.To inform the root of living a happy life.D.To tell the importance of changing jobs.15.Who is the text targeted at?A.Teachers.B.Parents.C.Job hunters .D.Top students.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)Imagine that you’re an actor or actress performing in a play fo r the first time.

The other woman was my mother, who had been a widow for 19 years. However, the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.That Friday after work, when I arrived at her house, my mother was waiting in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation about nothing extraordinary but just caught up on recent events. We talked so much that we missed the movie.As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go ou t with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed. A few days later, my mother died of a serious heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her.Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said, “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; still, I paid for two plates—one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that ni ght meant for me. I love you, son.”At that moment, I understood the importance of saying “I love you” and of giving our loved ones the time they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than family. Give family members the attention they deserve, becaus e these things cannot be put off till some “other” time.1 The author describes in detail how his mother looked in order to .A .show readers his mother’s characterB create an atmosphere of happinessC emphasize the importance of table mannersD stress how important the dinner was to his mother2 . The author should be thankful to .A his mom, who paid in advance for the next dinnerB his wife, who pushed him to have dinner with his momC his children, who were very understanding and helpfulD the waiter, who gave him the chance to have dinner with his mom3 .What can we infer from the story?A.The author considers his work and family a great burden.B.The author’s mother felt satisfied to have paid the bill in advance.C.The author and his mother saw a movie together after their dinner.D.The author and his mother talked about big events during their dinner.4 . What does the author intend to tell us with this story?A good heart is certain to find another to match i t.B. If you put something off, you will regret it in the future.C. We should seek good opportunities to express our love.D. It’s important to express our love to our loved ones in time.(C)Post-00s is a documentary about growing up. It covers almost every aspect of Millennials’ experiences on their path toward adolescence—their struggles with schoolwork, their relationship with peers, their confusion if a younger brother or sister is born into the family, and their growing desire to keep a distance from their parents. But this five-episode series was different from any other TV program with a similar theme.Post-00s was filmed over a period of 10 years, during which the show’s makers followed a group of kids from when they were infants through to when they became teenagers. In other words, the show’s “characters” grow older for real, and their stories are all real.“Coming-of-age” stories, as they’re known, have a special appeal. They satisfy our curiosity of looking at someone else’s life, and we become more and more attached to the characters as if we truly know them. And while we enjoy the truthfulness of the stories because nothing is set in advance, we also can’t help but feel the cruelty of reality. After all, there’s no re-writing of the script and there’s no turning back—this is real life.This realness can also be seen in Boyhood, a 2014 film that won the Silver Bear award for best director at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. During a period of 12 years, the film follows the life of Mason. Jr—played by US actor Ellar Coltrane—from when he was 6 to when he finished high school.One of Boyhood’s appeals comes from its “ordinariness”. Mason Jr isn’t some child genius... He is a quietly spoken, fairly typical American boy, growing up in the Texas suburbs. He likes riding his bike and playing video games.While coming-of-age stories may look ordinary on the outside, they often allow us to look underneath the surface and see something extraordinary—the power of life itself.1.In the documentary, we see post-00s’ growing experience EXCEPT .A..how they deal with their studiesB..how they help look after brothers or sistersC .how they get along with people of their ageD. how much they long to be independent of their parents2. What do Post-00s and Boyhood have in common?A They’re i ntended to win an award for best director.B The heroes and heroines are characters themselves.C They’re a kind of reality show of ordinary kids’ growth.D The stories are based on true life but polished by writers.3 .Audience are interested in “comin g-of-age” stories because ________.A they can see the truth of lifeB they know the characters wellC they are much fond of gossipD they appreciate stories of daily life4 Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A Post-00s Are Different GeniusesB Actors Are Ordinary CharactersC Documentary Is Real LifeD Life Is One Big Story(D)Smokers may ignore the health warnings by telling themselves their habit makes them look cool. After all, sex symbols James Dean and Humphrey Bogart were rarely seen without a cigarette. However, the latest evidence shows that smoking actually makes you less attractive to the opposite sex. Wrinkles from smoking a cigarette may be to blame for people judging non-smokers to be better-looking.This was the result of a study asking more than 500 people to pick the most attractive of twins where one smoked and the other did not. Men found female non-smokers the most attractive in two-thirds of cases, while women chose non-smoking men as the most attractive 68 percent of the time.Professor Ian Penton V oak, a co-author of the study from Bristol University, said, “People assume that smoking causes damage to the skin and appearance, but this is a really neat way of looking at it because these twins are genetically identical, so we can control the genetic factors involved in ageing. Appearance seems to be important to people, especially young people, so we could use these sorts of findings as a basis for future interventions to stop people smoking.”Smoking can speed up the normal ageing, even after only a decade. Nicotine causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the outermost layers of the skin, while the chemicals in tobacco smokedamage collagen and elastin (胶原蛋白和弹性蛋白), which give the skin its elasticity (弹性).1 Why does the author mention James Dean and Humphrey Bogart?A To persuade smokers to give up smoking.B To compare them with non-smokers.C To tell us many people are influenced by them.D To show his understanding and comfort smokers.2 What can we learn from Para. 2 and Para. 3?A 500 twins were surveyed for the study.B Probably young people pay more attention to their appearance.C Female non-smokers are less attractive than smokers.D Professor Ian Penton V oak is the leading author of the study.3 What is Professor Ian Penton V oak’s attitude to smoking?A .Disapproving.B .Favorable.C .Unconcerned. D. Cautious.4 What can we know from the text?A Smokers look cooler than non-smokers.B Smoking may speed up skin’s ageing.C Smokers look younger than non-smokers.D Smoking should be banned right away.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。
