2022届东北三省三校(哈尔滨师范大学附属中学东北师大附中辽宁省实验中学)高三第一次联合模拟考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you’re likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?Where to stayThe Khao San Road was a famous traveler spot even before Leonardo di Caprio’s character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it’s noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where Bangkok people eat, work and live every day. It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.How to get aroundBangkok’s traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi—if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams—but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya River and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and the famous Chatuchak street market.What to doAfter you’ve seen the main sites like the Giant Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and the spectacular Grand Palace, and shopped at Chatuchak market, check out the snake farm and watch the live snake show. You can even touch a snake yourself if you want to!1.What is special about Phra Kanong?A.Its convenience for tourists.B.Its real Thai lifestyle.C.Its live snake show.D.Its appearance in a famous movie. 2.Which may be the best transport to explore the modern area of Bangkok?A.An express boat.B.A longtail boat.C.A normal taxi.D.The Skytrain.3.Where can the text be found?A.In a travel brochure.B.In a business newspaper.C.In a geography textbook.D.In a family magazine.While watching videos on Douyin one day, I discovered a very unique profile: an88-year-old farmer livestreaming (网络直播) trendy products in a rural setting. I clicked his page and saw that he was livestreaming because he needed to pay for his wife's medical expenses. Curious, I decided to contact him and learn more about his story.Now a retired farmer, Wu relies on government allowance. One rainy day, he returned to his shabby one-floor cottage in the suburb of Henan Province and found his wife lying on the ground in great pain. She had broken her leg and lost the ability to walk.A great burden befell this already disadvantaged family. The medical expenses for Wu's wife are about 800 yuan per month. Her daughter, a mother of three and a housewife, has no means of supporting Wu financially. As a heavy user on Douyin, Wu's daughter thought that perhaps they too could try livestreaming as a way to help their family. With a 9. 9 yuan phone holder, they began livestreaming on Douyin, and Wu became one of the oldest livestreamers on the platform.Every day, Wu livestreams for a total of six hours, separated into morning and afternoon sessions. With a broad smile and comforting voice, he explains the products on his table, which range from water bottles, makeup removers and vegetables to traditional Chinese clothing that Wu wears himself in front of the camera. Thousands of viewers are drawn in by his moving story and kindly personality. They refer to him affectionately as “my uncle Wu” or “Laoxiang”.During my interview with him, Wu would laugh warmly. His strong Henan dialect was sometimes hard to understand, but his tone was full of comfort and optimism.He also does not avoid showing affection for his wife, “I will buy her good food when I have the money.” I am moved by his ability to see the optimistic side of life despite being influenced by hardships and his persistence sailing through the low tides of life.4.Wu's videos are intended to _________.A.show love to his pitiful wifeB.advertise the beautiful countrysideC.make money by promoting various productsD.help the poor by drawing public attention5.What can we know about Wu's family?A.His daughter manages to offer financial assistance.B.They have got out of poverty by livestreaming.C.His daughter is a professional Douyin livestreamer.D.They have difficulty in covering the medical expenses.6.What attracts viewers to Wu's livestream?A.His rich experience on the platform.B.His amusing Henan accent.C.His good nature and touching story.D.His successful marketing techniques. 7.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.An elderly farmer livestreamer B.A kindly and helpful husbandC.A popular application D.A way to cope with povertyAndroid phones will be used to sense earthquakes around the world and may one day be able to provide global warnings, with the first mass alert system coming into use on August 11 in California, Google announced.Google, which helped develop Android, worked with California and the US Geological Survey to build the quake alerts into all phones that run the common mobile operating system. Android users who have enabled location services and are near a quake of magnitude 4.5 or greater will receive a full-screen earthquake warming telling them to drop to the floor and seek cover. The screen also will provide estimates of the quake's magnitude and distance from the user. Depending on their distance from a quake, people could get several seconds or perhaps a minute of warning.Users won't need to download California's MyShake app in order to receive the alerts. That application, developed by the University of California, Berkeley and launched last year, has been downloaded by only about 1 million of California's 40 million residents. By contrast, many millions of people own Android phones.“This announcement means that California's world-class earthquake early warning system will be a standard function on every Android phone—giving millions precious seconds to drop, cover and hold on when the big one hits,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. IPhone users won't receive the alerts through Apple's operating system, but theycan download the MyShake app.Also, Google announced that Android phones would begin detecting earthquakes from around the world through their motion-sensing accelerometers. “Your Android phone can be a mini-seismometer (地震仪), joining millions of other Android phones out there to form the world’s largest earthquake detection network,” according to a Google blog post. More than 2 billion devices run the Android operating system. Hundreds of millions of people live in earthquake-prone areas. But many countries lack the resources to build detection and alert systems, Google said. The information will be used at first to provide fast and accurate information on Google Search. But Google said it could begin sending out earthquake alerts next year.8.If an earthquake hits the US, who won't receive the earthquake warning?A.Android users who haven't downloaded the MyShake app.B.IPhone users who have downloaded the MyShake app.C.IPhone users who haven't downloaded the MyShake app.D.Android users who have downloaded the MyShake app.9.What can we learn from the text?A.Millions of people have downloaded the MyShake app.B.The earthquake early warning system will be of great help.C.Google has already sent out earthquake alerts since last year.D.Over 2 billion devices run the Apple operating system.10.What will globalize Google's earthquake detection network?A.New technology developed by Google.B.The large number of Android phone users.C.Motion-sensing accelerometers.D.The newly developed MyShake app.11.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To share a new MyShake app.B.To promote Android phones.C.To make Google known to the world.D.To introduce a new function of Android phones.While the increase in the number of unemployed Americans has been a focus ofeconomists throughout the pandemic, another problem has been mostly overlooked: The people that do have jobs are calling out sick in record numbers.Unlike the jobless rate, which has declined noticeably, the rate of absenteeism (旷工) has remained stubbornly high. More than 1.9 million people missed work in December, according to Labor Department data. Michael Gapen, chief US economist, says although vaccinations could start driving down absenteeism, the missed work is causing supply chain problems. “Absenteeism could lead to shortages; it could lead to higher prices and more limited output,” he says.The problem is so acute that companies are lobbying local authorities to get their workers near the front of the line for vaccinations. “There are instances of having to shut down lines at various points in time in order to manage the absenteeism,” says Geoff Freeman, a chief executive officer.According to the Institute for Supply Management, factory activities increased in December, with the employment returning to a level that indicates growth. However, one complaint is that suppliers are still struggling with their own employee shortages, which is causing supply problems. “The quantity of infections and the quantity of people who are sick or having to self-quarantine (自我隔离) are just so overwhelming that everybody has to be affected by it,” Timothy Fiore, said on a Jan. 5 call with reporters.For office workers, 90% of professionals said before the pandemic they'd sometimes go to work sick. COVID-19, however, contributes to the fact that more employees are staying home to protect themselves and others.“We know when the absenteeism will end, and that's when we get the vaccine in people's arms,” says a manager. But a lack of federal leadership means “this is the Wild West right now, and we see the results of that.”12.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about absenteeism?A.Its root causes.B.Its major consequences.C.Its future development.D.Its economic values.13.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “lobbying” in paragraph 3?A.Persuading.B.Cheating.C.Informing.D.Predicting.14.What can we say about America’s absent workers?A.They complain about their working conditions.B.They call out sick because of their mental pressure.C.They struggle with the supply shortages.D.They are largely impacted by the pandemic.15.What can be inferred from the text?A.There are more jobless workers than the absent ones.B.Supply chain problems are causing absenteeism.C.All people aren’t satisfied with the federal government.D.Workers won’t return to work even if they are vaccinated.二、七选五Easy ways to improve your work productivity___16___.Take breaks outsideGetting outside to stretch your legs can boost your mood and help you to disconnect from your work for a bit. ___17___.
