What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Everest, my answer was always the same: not interested.That’s probably where my personal Everest story would have ended, were it not for an old friend and his obsession (执念) with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, Thom Pollard began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while attempting to be the first to climb Everest. But Mallory’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924.Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search was in vain, but I began to reconsider Everest.I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos —all united around common goals.I went to Everest to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Everest.24. What is the main reason why the author hated climbing Everest?A. He changed his climbing goal.B. Everest was seriously polluted by trash.C. Everest became an industry to make money.D. The mountain was too crowded with climbers.25. Why did the author climb Everest later?A. Because he desired to challenge himself.B. Because he got motivated by Thom Pollard.C. Because his old friend persuaded him to climb again.D. Because he wanted to follow the footsteps of Mallory and Irvine.26. What does the underlined phrase “tipped my hat” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Expressed my gratitude.B. Proved my determination.C. Relieved the tiredness.D. Showed my respect.27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Admiration for the climbers.B. Concern about the risk.C. Confidence about the journey.D. Hope for Everest’s future.CEvery year thousands of people come to the city of Pamplona, in north-eastern Spain, for the opportunity to run for their lives as six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town. There are injuries and deaths every year, but the event is of interest to many people. A paper just published in Science describes the insight the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds.That is a useful topic to explore. Architects, civil engineers and urban planners must try to work out how people will behave in the event of a disaster like a fire, a flood or a terrorist attack so they can design their creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions (碰撞). Unfortunately, solid information is hard to come by. Daniel Parisi, the paper’s lead author, realized that the Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural experiment.Dr Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2019, and filmed the runners as the animals were released. Later in the lab, they calculated the speed of the runners, the density (密度) of the crowd, the probability of a runner tripping and falling and the relationship between runner-group density and speed.Perhaps unsurprisingly, the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bulls drew near. Less expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the density of the crowd, which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower the risk of a collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps, injury or death.Yet it seems that, in the heat of the moment, people pay little attention to the danger of colliding with each other, and do not slow down. The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how best to plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict flow. The only option may well be to make them broad enough.28. What did Dr Parisi and his team do in Pamplona?A. They recorded a bull-run.B. They proved their theory.C. They watched a thrilling bull-fight.D. They designed a psychological experiment.29. What was the unexpected finding in the study?A. People slowed down in crowded areas.B. Collisions posed a danger to bull-runners.C. Bulls coming near made people running faster.D. People tended to speed up in high-density crowds.30.What is implied in the last paragraph?A. People lose their mind in disasters.B. Future tunnels and bridges may be wider.C. Panicked crowds are aware of the danger of collision.D. Restricting flow helps to prevent people colliding each other.31. Which is the best title for the text?A. How crowds react to panicB. Bull-runs caught on in SpainC. Dr Parisi’s finding shocks the worldD. What architects can learn from a bull-runDOn January 1st, 2018, “gaming disorder” — in which games are played uncontrollably, despite causing harm — gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO). Last year, China, the world’s biggest gaming market, announced new rules limiting children to just a single hour of play a day. Clinics are appearing around the world, promising to cure patients of their habit.Are games really addictive? Psychologists have different opinions. The case for the defence is that this is just another moral panic. Similar warnings have been given about television, rock 'n' roll, jazz, comic books, and even novels.As the newest form of mass media, gaming is merely enduring (忍受) its own time before it finally stops being controversial.However, some argue that unlike rock bands or novelists, games developers have both the motive and the means to engineer their products to make them addictive. For one thing, the business-model has changed. In the old days games were bought once and for all. But these days, games are free and money is earned from purchases of in-game goods, which ties playtime directly to developers’ income. For another, games makers combine psychological theory and data, which helps them maximize the playtime. Smartphones and modern video game machines use their permanent Internet connections to send gameplay data back to developers. That allows products to be constantly adjusted to increase spending on games.The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and that problem is growing. Now that gaming addiction comes with an official WHO recognition, diagnoses (诊断) become more common.Clinics are already reporting booming business, as lockdowns have given gamers more time to spend with their hobby. And being put together in the public mind, fairly or not, with gambling will not do the industry any favours.32. What is the function of Paragraph 1?A. To arouse the readers’ interest about the topic.B. To inform the readers of the harmful effects of games.C. To discuss whether it is necessary to panic about games.D. To show growing public concern about the problem of games.33. Why is television, together with other media forms, mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. To prove that the panic over games will fade away.B. To show that they are as highly addictive as games.C. To compare the differences among these media forms.D. To argue that these media forms are not harmful at all.34. How do games developers make games addictive?A. They don’t charge players for in-game goods.B. They adjust products based on received data.C. They reward top players with more playtime.D. They keep players’ video game machines updated.35. In the last paragraph, the author aims to ______.A. offer a suggestionB. make a predictionC. give a warningD. put forward a solution第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

2021年河南周口驻马店漯河三门峡信阳六市高三第一次联考英语卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old, and did not read until he was seven? His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability. Beethoven’s music teacher said about him, “As a composer(作曲家) he is hopeless.” What if this young boy believed it?When Thomas Edison was a young boy, his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything. He once said,‘‘I remember I used to never be able to get along at school. I was always at the foot of my class…My father thought I was stupid, and I almost decided that I was a stupid person.”What if young Thomas believed what may said about him?When the sculptor(雕刻家) Auguste Rodin was young, he had difficulty learning to read and write. Today, we may say he had a learning disability. His father said of him, “I have an idiot(白痴) for a son.” His uncle agreed. “He’s uneducable,” he said. What if Rodin had doubted his ability?Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no “good ideas”. Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher, “you can’t sing. You have no voice at all.” And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal.What if these people had listened and become discouraged? Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven, the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney?

"It was just four years ago that he was pulled from the cage in the puppy mill and left to die," Harley's owner, Rudi, said during the awards show at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles this past weekend, according to Today. com. "We never would have ever thought he would live this long and make such a difference for so many puppies."The dog was one of eight finalists up for the American Hero Dog and was chosen as the winner through public votes. The finalists all won $ 1,500 to be donated to one of American Humane Association’s charity partners, with Harley receiving a nother $ 5 ,000 to go toward his charity partner, New Leash On Life.According to the release, Harley spent 10 years at the puppy mill, and endured rough treatment there, which led to his many medical issues. He lost his eye as a result of his cage being power-washed with him inside.The dog isn't just the face of his campaign, he also goes on rescue missions and makes public appearances at events and schools to raise awareness for puppy mills.This incredible work is all due to the dog’s fighting spirit.

You can' t stay focused, your energy level falls, and you wish you possessed a warm blanket so you could curl up under your desk for a quick nap. But you have important things to do-like completing that project or leading a team meeting in 1ess than an hour.You don't have to suffer that fate anymore. I have four foods that will get your focus back on track so that you can finish your workday stronger than you started. Keep these products handy in your office, and you'll never suffer from that 2 p. m. mental slog ever again.Green TeaWhile coffee is an important afternoon pick-me-up, green tea should not be overlooked.The unique combination of the amino acid thiamine(芬氨酸) and caffeine has been shown across several studies to improve creativity, ability to multitask, and reaction time. Try some amazing tea recipes to get, started.AlmondsAlmonds are a great afternoon recharger that research from Purdue University shows will also aid in your weight-loss efforts. This is because almonds provide sustained energy: a mix of fat, fiber, and protein.Those elements allow almonds to offer a convenient snack that gives you asmooth shot of energy that comes from controlling your blood sugar levels. Plus, research shows that people who regularly eat nuts have as much as a 50 percent reduced risk of having a heart attack.Greek YogurtResearch from the University of Missouri shows that protein helps your body into better blood sugar control by stimulating the release of the hormone glucagon(胰高血糖素).

On China's biggest online search engine Baidu,it has been looked up almost 600,000 times. It's been noticed in the west, too.But what does it mean? "Everyone's duang-ing and I still don't know what it means! Looks like it's back to school for me," said Weibo user Weileiweito. Another user asked, “Have you duang-ed today? My mind is full of duang duang duang.’’‘‘To duang or not to duan g, that is the question," wrote user BaiKut automan.“Duang"seems to be an example of onomatopoeia（拟声词），a word that phonetically imitates a sound. It all seems to have started with Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan, who in 2004 was featured in a shampoo commercial where he said famously defended his sleek（光亮的）, black hair using the 'rhythmical-sounding "duang". The word resurfaced again recently after Chan posted it on his Weibo page. Thousands of users then began to flood Chan's Weibo page with comments, coirung the word in reference to his infamous shampoo appearance.The word appears to have many different meamngs, and there's no perfect translation, but you could use it as an adjective to give emphasis to the word that follows it. A kitten might be "duang cute", for example. Or you might be "very duang confused" by this blog.For readers of Chinese characters, the Jackie Chan theme is also apparent from the quirky way in which the word is written:a combination of Chan's Mandarin names.12．What does Paragraph l mainly talk about?A．Many countries use the word "duang".B．Debates arise online about the word "duang".C．Chinese dictionaries will contain a new character.D．The word "duang" is used very often on the Internet.13．From what the persons mentioned in Paragraph 2 said, we can leam ．A．“duang"is popular among studentsB．young users can use "duang" freelyC．using "duang" is recognized as afashionD．different people have their own understanding of“duang"14．Why did Jackie Chan use the word "duang"in 2004?A．To invent a new character.B．To advertise for an action film.C．To show off his good hair in an ad.D．To ask his fans to flood his Weibo page.15．The underlined word "quirky" in the last paragraph probably means“”．A．unusual B．modem C．perfect D．quick二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

About one and a half years ago,Zhang Baoxin,17，who studies at Guangdong Experimental High School,read about this in an article.Then she had an idea-to make an environmentally friendly sunscreen to protect the marine environment.To make this happen,Zhang read lots of literature and then put forward a new formula（配方）.She mixed natural plant oils with safe and commonly-used sunscreen ingredients,such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide powder.She tested about 10 kinds of plant oils,including jojoba oil and coconut oil,to figure out whether they can take in sunlight.She then used a microscope to find out if the oil could be mixed with the powder.After trying about 20 formulas,Zhang found a jojoba oil formula that is effective,cheap and easy to make.Zhang wrote a paper to explain her findings with her experimental process and data.The project made Zhang a nominee（候选人）of the Stockholm Junior Water Prize,an award to celebrate teenagers who help solve major water challenges.She was the only nominee from the Chinese mainland in 2020.After this successful experiment,Zhang made some samples and printed out flyers（传单）for her new formula.She gave them out to people at swimming pools and water parks. "With my formula,anyone can make sunscreen at home.You just need a blender to mix the oil and the powder," she said.Zhang wants to study environmental science in college. "I want to use my knowledge to make a better world," she said.4.What probably inspired Zhang to make a new kind of sunscreen？______A. Her desire to protect the species in the sea.B. Her wish to study environmental science.C. A book published by the US National Park Service.D. A project at Guangdong Experimental High School.5.What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us______A. Features of the new sunscreen Zhang made.B. Differences between different ingredients.C. The process of developing the new sunscreen.D. Difficulties Zhang met inventing new sunscreen.6.What happened after Zhang's successful experiment______A. She was accepted into a famous university.B. She won the Stockholm Junior Water Prize.C. She popularized the way to make the sunscreen.D. She continued to improve her sunscreen.7.Which of the following best describes Zhang Baoxin？______A. Curious and cheerful.B. Helpful and sociable.C. Diligent and cautious.D. Creative and responsible.CBees are a big part of the life cycle of plants,carrying pollen from one flower to another and allowing plants to produce their frequently yummy output.But with bee populations on the decline,what can take their place？How about soap bubbles（肥皂泡）？It may sound fantastical.But Eijiro Miyako and his colleague at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have used battery-powered bubble makers to pollinate（授粉）a pear orchard.The details of their magical approach to agriculture are in the journal Science.A few years back,Miyako and his team tried to copy the pollinating of honeybees by adopting a two-inch-long toy drone with brushes made of horsehair.But the tiny flyer was tough to control.And its hairy little brushes ended up damaging the delicate targets.After spending some time blowing bubbles with his son,Miyako started thinking more seriously about these soapy little wonders.He figured bubbles would be sticky enough to carry and deliver a pollen load but soft and flexible,so they shouldn't hurt a blossom when they land.The researchers chemically bettered their soapy solution to make bubbles that were mechanically stable and actually enhanced the pollination process.Out in the orchard,they aimed their soap bubbles at row after row of pear trees.And they found the bubble system worked just as well as the more labor-intensive pollination by hand：pear trees pollinated by bubble eventually yielded fruit-a sweet sign of success.Miyako has also upgraded thedrone-this time using a larger model-equipped with a machine that lets out a huge number of bubbles in a short time.And it has a big advantage over the hand-held model.Because it's fully autonomously controllable by GPS with Google Map.So the drones can make a beeline to where farmers need them,you know,to be.8.Why do people try other ways to help pollinate plants？______A. Because raising bees needs much labor.B. Because the number of bees is decreasing.C. Because bees work inefficiently.D. Because bees produce less honey now.9.What was the problem with the toy drone______A. It was hard to operate.B. It couldn't work from a distance.C. It produced few bubbles.D. It needed to be recharged often.10.What can we learn about the upgraded drone？______A. It is a hand-held model.B. It is much more efficient.C. It hurts blossoms sometimes.D. It is too large to be controllable.11.What is the best title of the passage？______A. Pear trees bear less fruit recentlyB. The population of bees is decreasingC. Drones benefit modern agricultureD. Soap bubbles help pollinate plantsDIt's called the Bank of Happiness,but it has nothing to do with money.Founded a year ago in Estonia's capital Tallinn,it's a forum（论坛）in which more than 2，000 members from Estonia and other countries connect to offer or receive services free of charge.The site carries more than 500 ads in English,German and Estonian from people offering or seeking all kinds of things,including teaching and tips on cooking.The website is also translated into French and Spanish.Founder Airi Kivi says the goal is to make people think and act with their hearts. "After the worldwide outbreak of the pandemic,I thought,'Wow,our bank is perfect for the crisis and a lot of people are unemployed and they can use it to harvest what they need.'"So how does it work It's simple：You sign up using your real name and post what you are offering or what your need is,as long as it doesn't involve money or products.Masseuse（女按摩师）Terge Reintem says she signed up when she was unemployed because she needed to improve her skills by learning from others.But she stayed on even after finding a new job because she says it feels good to volunteer. "If I discover a new technique,I want my bank customers to first experience it," Reintem says,adding they are often nicer than the paying ones.Member Veronika Davel says she the rules with her first request when she asked for a product：a computer.But she did it ter,she began offering services of her own on the bank's website. "The main thing I really could offer was English," Davel explains. "There was a young girl who needed to have better English for her job and I gave her a hand."The site has many more offers of help than requests for it.That's as it should be,Kivisays,adding that the bigger reward comes from giving.12.How can the Bank of Happiness benefit its members______A. They can help each other at no cost.B. They can place ads for their products.C. They can travel to many countries for free.D. They can read much news about happiness.13.What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 6______A. Obeyed.B. Broke.C. Made.D. Bent.14.Why does Reintem keep serving the bank？______A. To improve her skills.B. To win more customers.C. To enjoy the helpfulness.D. To learn new techniques.15.How does the writer introduce the bank？______A. By using specific data.B. By giving examples.C. By referring to common knowledge.D. By using comparison and contrast.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）What causes depression According to the Mayo Clinic,some of the "causes" may be due to troubled relationships.Others may be depressed as a result of threats of bullying or cyberbullying.
