高三上学期第二次月考英语试题Word版含答案

湖南省长沙市第一中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第二次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解“Unfortunately, 85 percent of what makes us attractive or less to mosquitoes(蚊子) is hardwired in our genetic circuit board,” says Winegard, author of The Mosquito: A Human History of Our Deadliest Predator. Still, there are ways to outsmart summer’s most annoying party crashers, especially if all you want is to enjoy an evening on your patio (露台).Know your blood typeOnly female mosquitoes feed on humans, and for good reason: The proteins in your blood help them grow and mature their eggs. “She’s just being a good mom,” Wineguard says. “People with blood type O are her top of choice. They get bitten twice as much as people with blood type A, with blood type B falling in between.”Stay cool“Mosquitoes hunt by both smell and sight,” Wineguard says. “They can smell the carbon dioxide and see the heat signature of their target.” Avoiding alcohol can keep your body temperature lower— making you harder to find — so consider choosing a cocktail instead.Wear light colorsAvoiding dark clothing can also keep you cooler, but that’s not the only reason it may offer relief. Mosquitoes, like many biting flies, are attracted to darker colors. The thinking behind this is that the animals they typically feed upon are larger, dark-bodied mammals(哺乳动物).Get rid of standing waterEven a glass of drinking water left on the deck can become a breeding ground for mosquito eggs — and mother mosquitoes lay about 100 eggs at a time. “They don’t need very much at all to breed. It can be a backyard toy , like a truck that has a bit of water in it, or a crushed pop can,” says Winegard. If you get rid of it, they’ll go somewhere else to lay their eggs.1．What’s the intention of this text?A．To introduce a new book.B．To offer professional tips.C．To analyze a study of insects.D．To suggest throwing a party.2．Why does a female mosquito feed on human blood?A．To hatch more eggs.B．To raise a large family.C．To identify blood types.D．To fully develop her body.3．What can we learn about mosquitoes according to Winegard?A．They can trace the smell of alcohol.B．They have energy-locating abilities.C．They feed off dark-bodied animals.D．They need abundant water to breed.The Malaysian actress, Michelle Yeoh, 60, shared some wisdom with the American Film Institute’s newest graduating class in a speech as she accepted an honorary doctorate of fine arts at the class of 2022 graduation ceremony.She recalled her early years in the industry. After an injury dashed her dreams of going into ballet, Yeoh bounced back at a gym where several stuntmen(特技替身演员)trained and ended up learning some tricks of the trade from them.“The first thing they taught me what to do was to tuck and roll, then how to fall on my side, and then how to fall on my back. And after a while, it dawned on me that they were teaching me how to fall,” she recalled. “And they said to me, ‘How are you going to go up if you don’t know how to come down?’” “That lesson sticks with me to this day. I had to learn how to fall. Well, you could say I learned it in my bones, literally,” Yeoh added.The actress mentioned jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass for one stunt, in which she over-rotated (旋转), causing her back to fold in half and a stunt went wrong. “I didn’t land properly, but I completed the scene,” she said.“These moments taught me perseverance, courage and humility,” she said. “They also taught me to hone my skills and eventually progress to the point where I was running on rooftops and jumping onto moving trains. I’m not asking you all to do that, okay? What I want to share with you today is that our slips and stumbles(绊跌)are the secrets to our flight. Trust me, that’s part of the deal. Success without failure is called luck. It cannot really be repeated or relied upon. It is from failure that we learn and grow,” Yeoh continued.The Crazy Rich Asians star concluded her speech: “Be courageous, take chances, break barriers, be proud of what makes you unique.” “And most importantly, don’t be afraid to fall, for you are learning to fly,” Yeoh said.4．What can we learn about Michelle Yeoh from the first two paragraphs?A．She was tricked by several stuntmen.B．She was passionate about working out in a gym.C．She won a doctor’s degree in fine arts despite her old age.D．She was terribly defeated by an injury and discouraged in her early years.5．What lesson did Michelle Yeoh learn from the stuntmen?A．God helps those who help themselves.B．Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise.C．Successful people are learning experiences with others.D．The greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.6．What does the underlined word “hone”in paragraph 5 mean?A．Believe.B．Sharpen.C．Restore.D．Dominate. 7．What are the keys to our success according to the text?A．Mistakes and failure.B．Luck and humility.C．Courage and pride.D．Opportunities and skills.“It’s a natural question,”Dr. Holt-Lunstad said the “ideal”number of friends. “Just like we have guidelines and recommendations for the amount of sleep we get and how physically active we are, this is health relevant.” While she and other friendship researchers admit there aren’t many studies that have specifically tackled the question of how many friends people should aim for, those that have been done offer a range.Dr. Degges-white recently conducted a survey of 297 adults, which has not been published or subject to peer review but found that 55 percent of participants believed two to three close friends was ideal, while 31 percent thought four to six was was the goal. But friendship and intimacy are subjective, and there isn’t a widely used scale researchers share to define those concepts across studies. It’s also unclear how social media factors into all of this, as research suggests the size of a person’s online network may not have any meaningful impact on their perceived well-being.While friendship research offers some standards, it may be more useful for most of us to consider if you need more friends. Dr. Marisa Franco recommends starting with a fairly obvious but powerful question: Do I feel lonely? “Also, different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a larger friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves golf, and this side that loves cars,” she added. “If you feel like your identity has sort of shrunk, or you’re not feeling quite like yourself, that might indicate youneed different types of friends.”Of course, making friends in adulthood isn’t always easy. Research shows people struggle with it because they find it difficult to trust new people. For those reasons, it is often easier to start by reawakening old relationships. The amount of time you actually spend with your friends matters, too. Franco suggests that on average, very close friendships tend to take around 200 hours to develop. But spending time with friends you feel ambivalent (情绪复杂的) about — because they’re unreliable, critical, competitive or any of the many reasons people get under our skin — can be bad for your health.8．Which statement would Dr. Holt-Lunstad probably agree with?A．Healthy friendships contribute to quality sleep.B．There have been guidelines for making friends.C．Two to six close friends may be the most ideal.D．Friendships can be crucial factor in well-being.9．How was Dr. Degges-White’s survey?A．It summarized the statistics in previous studies.B．It set standards on the exact number of friends.C．It distinguished between friendship and intimacy.D．It dismissed the influences of social media factors.10．According to Franco, you have to make new friends if _________.A．your friend circle is large enough B．you have a wide range of hobbiesC．your personal identities are restricted D．you lead an unhappy adulthood life 11．What matters in maintaining close friendships according to Franco?A．Quantities of time.B．Meeting frequency.C．Your healthy moods.D．Personalities of friends.Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical (视觉的) sensors can’t take in an item’s entire shape when it’s in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique lets a robotic hand “feel” an unfamiliar object’s form — and skillfully handle it based on this information alone.Roboticist, Xiaolong Wang in University of California, San Diego and his team wanted to find out if complex coordination (协调) could be achieved in robotics using only simple touch data. The researcher attached 16 contact sensors, each costing about $12, to the palmand fingers of a four -fingered robot hand. These sensors simply indicate if an object is touching the hand or not. “While one sensor doesn’t catch much, a lot of them can help you capture different aspects of the object,” Wang says. In this case, the robot’s task was to rotate (旋转) items placed in its palm.The researchers first connected a large volume of touch data as a virtual robot hand practiced rotating objects, including ball. Using binary contact information (“touch” or “no touch”) from each sensor, the team built a computer model that determines an object’s position at every step of the handling process and moves the fingers to rotate it smoothly and stably.Next they transferred this capability to operate a real robot hand, which successfully manipulated (操纵) previously unencountered objects such as apples, tomatoes, soup cans and rubber ducks. Transferring the computer model to the real world was relatively easy because the binary sensor data were so simple; the model didn’t rely on accurate measurements.Digging into what the robot hand perceives, Wang and his colleagues found that it can re-create the entire object’s form from touch data, informing its actions. He and his team are set to present thier handiwork at an international conference called Robotics: Science and Systems.New York University’s Lerrel Pinto, who studies robots’ interactions with the real world, wonders whether the system would become less effective at more complicated tasks including opening a bottle cap. Wang’s group aims to tackle more complex movements in future work as well as to add sensors in places such as the sides of the fingers. The researchers will also try adding vision to improve touch data for handling complicated shapes.12．What may contribute to the ineffectiveness of the optical sensors?A．Poor visibility.B．Blocked roads.C．Complicated tasks.D．Inaccurate calculation.13．What do paragraphs 3-4 focus on?A．Stimulating the robot fingers to move the items steadily.B．Increasing the precision of touch of the robot hand.C．Comparing the computer world with the real circumstances.D．Testing if touch information can facilitate the formation of the object shape. 14．What is the attitude of Lerrel Pinto towards the system?A．Neutral.B．Suspicious.C．Favorable.D．Pessimistic.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Robotics: Science and SystemB．New Robot Rotates Items SkillfullyC．New Robot Hand Works by Feel, Not SightD．From the Computer Model to the Real Robot Hand二、七选五Which is more important for people, book learning or experience? Some have spent their lives studying and gradually acquiring valuable deep knowledge. They are afraid to start andthe book, make mistakes, and learn from this experience.The debate between book learning and experience has been going on for a long time. There is no clear “right answer” yet, but there is strong evidence that experience gives us important skills that can’t be learned in books.17 Of course, reading the best books on learning gives someone knowledge, but experience gives know-how. It comes from practicing again and again. Professionals can make themselves because they devote their work, practice, and time to obtaining this position instead of managing to read books only. This distinguishes them from all the others.Reading more books about something doesn’t lead to success. You can acquire a lot of knowledge by reading, but there are also ways to accumulate knowledge through experience. Knowledge is theoretical, but experience is distinguished by the fact that you can put into practice what you have learned in a book. 18Book learning to understand a concept is important. But if you can’t understand the application of the concept in real time, the concept is useless. Experience allows you to put the learned concepts into practice. 19 You can’t effectively learn important skills without applying these concepts to real life.Certainly, the experience can lead to failure. But you can also learn from that failure and lead to success. 20 Therefore, experience is your greatest ally(盟友) in professional development if you want to understand the theory behind the concept, become an expert inthis field, keep the technique in mind, and gain valuable insights through failure.A．In contrast, others don’t worry about anything.B．You can learn a lot from books on self-learning.C．Of course, with these concepts, experience is acquired.D．This is valuable knowledge that is not found in any book.E．It is also an opportunity to test and challenge your knowledge.F．Through experience, you can also learn how to interact with people.G．Neither scientists nor doctors have read books only and become experts.三、完形填空Growing up in New Delhi, I saw Barbie as more than just a doll. She was the centralbedroom floor.As much as I loved Barbie, our time together could only last so long. Eventually, I grew 23 that I still played with my Barbie dolls while my middle-school friends had all moved onto more “mature” 24 . Barbie became similar with being a fake, “plastic” girl, whose bright pink clothing 25 my friends and me.By the tender age of 12, my friends and I had become 26 all girlish things, and Barbie topped our list of items to grow out of. Every 27 we took up instead seemed either gender-neutral or traditionally masculine (男子气概). For a 28 period I took up watching football to look cool (say exactly a month).Looking back, I feel like we were missing the point: Barbie was simply a blank canvas upon which to draw our ideas. It was our own 29 that we had come to abuse her for wearing pink clothes and having blond hair. That is why I appreciate the way the Barbie movie is being 30 . The movie 31 and Barbie’s bright pink colors are everywhere — there are 100 or more co-brand products, and you can get everything Barbie-pink from sports facilities to make-up and shoes. In Malibu, there is a pink hotel 32 after Barbie’s pink Dream House.In an interview, the director Gerwig said the team had many meetings just to settle on the correct 33 of pink for the movie — one that was beautiful but “not too fashionable”, she said, “because when I was a little girl, I loved the pinkest, brightest things”,without a hint of the 34 that I and my peers had of Barbie all those years ago, which would have been really important to me as an adolescent girl who often felt 35 in her femininity (女子气质).21．A．theme B．character C．argument D．conflict 22．A．assigned B．gathered C．created D．staged 23．A．embarrassed B．satisfied C．curious D．aware 24．A．peers B．hobbies C．ladies D．companies 25．A．involved B．caught C．offended D．connected 26．A．worried about B．passionate for C．content with D．dismissive of 27．A．appointment B．journey C．recreation D．challenge 28．A．difficult B．contemporary C．brief D．spare 29．A．fault B．memory C．experience D．selection 30．A．marketed B．captured C．illustrated D．filmed 31．A．settings B．promotions C．results D．witnesses 32．A．operated B．managed C．organized D．modeled 33．A．symbol B．design C．image D．shade 34．A．imagination B．judgment C．ignorance D．appreciation 35．A．interrupted B．sympathetic C．unsettled D．familiar四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
