青海省西宁市2021-2022学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________  一、阅读选择    Culture is more than just buildings, monuments and natural wonders. It can also be oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, religious ceremonies, festive events, knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe. There are intangible (无形的) parts of culture that are important, too.ZvonCari, Croatia:Recognized by UNESCO in 2009，this tradition features two to thirty people who ring the bells. They wear special clothes and hats, carrying a small tree through various villages. They ring their bells to request food and rest before continuing to the next village. Each of them returns to their own villages and burns any rubbish outside their homes.Jultagi, Korean tightrope walking:We're all familiar with tightrope-walking, but this Korean tradition—recognized by UNESCO in 2011—involves a comedic routine, fancy completions and lively music. The Jultagi Safeguarding Association provides training for the tradition.Mongolian knuckle bone shooting:Not all cultural heritages are about dancing and performing. Some, like this tradition from Mongolia that was recognized by UNESCO in 2014, are games. Teams of six to eight players attempt to land 30 marbles (弹珠) made of bones into a target zone. Each player uses individualized tools to achieve this. Different teams have different practices and skill sets, and games create an opportunity to exchange ideas.Horseback shrimp (虾) fishing, Belgium:Twelve families of horseback shrimpers collect shrimp twice a week in Oostdunkerke, Belgium, as well as during special occasions like festivals. This method of shrimping requires trust of one's self and one's horse, to say nothing of the knowledge required to read the sand. It joins other cultural traditions recognized by UNESCO in 2013.1．What do the people do in ZvonCari?A．Protect the environment. B．Offer community service.C．Ask for food from villagers. D．Ring bells to collect clothes.2．In which activity can people share their opinions?A．ZvonCari. B．Jultagi.C．Knuckle bone shooting. D．Horseback shrimp fishing.3．What should a horseback shrimper know about?A．The sand. B．The target zone.C．The special clothes. D．The comedic routine.     Social media is often a collection of highlights of people’s lives rather than a true reflection of reality. Although it can be a great tool to keep up with the lives of our friends, families and celebrities, it can also be pretty damaging as we judge our lives in comparison to those we see online.One woman shared her experience which showed exactly why we shouldn’t believe everything we see on social media. After heading to the pool, Jen watched as a young mum and her daughter entered, dressed in swimming suits. The mum took a few selfies (自拍) with her child. Jen said the young girl then asked if they could get into the pool but was told to wait while her parent took a photo of her in front of the pool.“Mama glanced over at her but never got off the phone,” Jen wrote. “After 10 minutes mama ended her call, and then they left the pool. I sat there thinking about what I’d witnessed for a while afterwards. I imagined the photos she took being perfectly edited and posted so social media with a caption like ‘Pool time with my girl!’ ”Jen then thought about another mum at home, in a messy house, tired because she’s spent her day cooking, caring, cleaning and playing with her children. “She’s going to look at that photo and she is going to compare herself to the ‘perfect mama’ at the pool. She’s going to feel like a failure. She’ll never know that how she spent her time that day was so much better in her children’s eyes than that ‘perfect mama’ at the pool.” Jen wrote.What we see on social media isn’t always real. Sometimes, and often, it’s a complete set-up. Jen later added that she in no way intended to judge the mum for her actions or her reasons for doing it, but simply wanted to say that the edited photos we see on social media “are not a full depiction of real life”.4．What can we learn about the young mum at the pool?A．She was very familiar with Jen.B．She didn’t swim in the pool at all.C．She liked editing the photos of her daughter.D．She was accompanying her daughter attentively.5．What does Jen think of the mum in a messy house?A．She does a good job as a mum.B．She dislikes photos on social media.C．She loves exploring the true story of a photo.D．She is not so good as the “perfect mama”.6．What does the underlined word “depiction” in the last paragraph mean?A．Description. B．Comparison.C．Imagination. D．Qualification.7．What does the author want to convey in the text?A．Real life depends on social media.B．Be yourself when using social media.C．Social media is affecting our real life.D．What we see on social media doesn’t reflect real life.     This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life. Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of him. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. I’ve seen it again and again ：Someone who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all. Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion regarding history. Well, he was a history teacher —if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics. My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references(参考文献)seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age. These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.8．According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________.A．gain knowledge and expand one’s viewB．understand the meaning between the linesC．express ideas based on what one has readD．gets information and keeps it alive in memory9．The author of the passage insists that learning the arts________.A．requires great efforts B．demands real passionC．is less natural than learning maths D．is as natural as learning a language10．What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to paragraph 4?A．Some ideas are slightly contradictory.B．There is too much discussion on studying science.C．The style is too serious.D．It lacks new information.11．Which of the following words can best describe the author’s attitude towards the book________A．positive B．neutral C．negative D．objective     Those who are concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy—for now. Though the androids have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks, they are not ready for the greatest time. At least that appears to be the case at Japan’s Henn-na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff are being replaced by humans.The first location of the unique hotel opened in July 2015 was at Nagasaki’s Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park. The hotel’s owner, Hideo Sawada, promised the hotel to be managed primarily by robots. Guests were greeted and checked-in by a dinosaur robot, while a cute android called Churi, placed inside each room, provided information about attractions. Not surprisingly, the lodging, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, drew in curious visitors from all around the world.But as the years have passed, the hotel’s main draw is becoming less novel and more unsatisfactory. Also as the robots are “aging”, they are costing more to repair. Among the 283 androids being replaced are the chain’s two dinosaur receptionists. In addition to scaring young guests, they are also unable to photocopy guests’ passports, forcing human employees to step in each time. Also out are the cute Churi robots, which annoyed guests by interrupting their conversations. For example, one guest told The Wall Street Journal that Churi mistook his snoring for a command and kept asking him to repeat his request all night.Sawada told The Wall Street Journal, “When you actually use robots you realize there are places where they aren’t needed—or just annoy people.” While Sawada may be cutting back on his use of androids, the recently-opened Smart LYZ Hotel and the Fly Zoo Hotel in China, are run entirely by robots, with not a human in sight. Whether the employees have more competence than those “hired” by the Henn-na Hotel chain remains to be seen.12．What makes Japan’s Henn-na Hotel unique?A．Its robot employees. B．Its advanced equipment.C．Its convenient location. D．Its successful management.13．What is the author’s purpose with the example in paragraph 3?A．To entertain readers. B．To prove Churi’s drawback.C．To introduce Churi’s functions. D．To persuade people not to book the hotel.14．What does the owner of Japan’s Henn-na Hotel think of his robot staff now?A．Attractive. B．Costly.C．Pioneering. D．Disappointing.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Robots Are Taking Over the World.B．The Boom of Robots-staffed Hotel.C．Robot Staff Are Fired For No Competence.D．The First Robots-staffed Hotel Won Guinness World Record.  二、七选五    Everybody knows that first impressions count. If you want to know how to meet people, just follow these steps.● Live in the moment.To meet new people, the first thing you have to do is enjoy the present moment of the new conversation. 16． They can prevent a conversation from going smoothly.When you approach a new person, don’t ask yourself, “How do I look?” or “How do I sound?” Instead, ask, “What would this person like to talk about?” “What matters to this person?”● Stay confident.If you keep up your confidence, people feel that you’re a person who is worth talking to. You should be confident before you walk into a room with new people in it and build your confidence as the conversation goes along. 17．Body language can help you stay confident. 18． When you introduce yourself, speak clearly and loudly enough that you’ll be heard.● Be positive.19．You should smile from time to time.

What impressed me mostly was an activity calling “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we went to a farm, where we learned knowledge and had many fun. Having been in the city for such a long time, we were more than happy to go to a countryside. After we arrived, we divided into three groups. Some students learned how to raise pigs, some worked in the garden, and the other helped the farmers with the work in the fishpond. It was not until it was totally dark when we stopped working. Though we were tired out but we felt pleased on our way back home. 六、推荐信52．假设你叫李华，你和几位英语爱好者在互联网上建了一个叫 easyenglish 的网站。请用英语写一篇推荐信，向你校学生介绍这个网站。要点如下；1．创立网站的目的；2．网站内容及功能(英语材料，聊天，展示交流等)；3．感谢关注，号召使用。注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3. 开头语已为你写好。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
