广东省佛山市2022届高三4月教学质量检测（二）
Marathon is the supreme discipline of long-distance running. They are not only attractive for top athletes, but also for hobby runners. The choice of events is almost endless. Now we have put together some most breathtakingly beautiful ones that you’ll be tempted (诱惑) to run holding a camera.
Ultra-trail Angkor, Cambodia
The newest of a series of Angkor marathons, this endurance test offers 32-km, 64-km and 128-km routes around the famous temples, including Bayon and Angkor Wat. Watch out for monkeys, and the gigantic tree vines that memorably hug some of the great buildings.
Dodo Trail, Mauritius
Crossing rugged coastline and tropical forests, the Dodo Trail is full of wildlife, although the famous dodo bird remains, sadly, extinct. While the demanding 50km Xtreme route covers 828m-high Black River Peak, a beginner-friendly Mini Dodo Trail (10 km) is easier.
Great Ocean Road marathon, Australia
Another well-known scenic coastal drive, southern Australia’s Great Ocean Road stages a footrace every May. Neck-ache could be a problem: in one direction lies the scenic South Sea, and in another handsome forest and, if you’re lucky, a koala or two. Be warned, however, that the series of steep slopes make this one of the toughest marathons.
Big Five marathon, South Africa
Marathon meets safari at the privately owned Entabeni Game Reserve every June. The start time is dependent on the race-day location of the Big Five members – African elephants, Cape buffalo, lions, leopards and rhinos – as organizers try to guarantee sightings.
1. Which marathon is suitable for less experienced runners?
A. Ultra-trail Angkor.
B. Dodo Trail.
C. Great Ocean Road marathon.
D. Big Five marathon.
2. Why does the writer mention “neck-ache” in Great Ocean Road marathon?
A. To highlight the wonderful scenery.
B. To present the difficulty ofthe event.
C. To attract attention to physical health.
D. To warn runners ofdangerous animals.
3. What do the four marathons have in common?
A. Risky and tiring routes.
B. Beautiful coastal views.
C. Chances to see wild animals.
D. Fixed time for annual events.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了最美丽的、会让人忍不住带着相机跑的四个马拉松。
【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第二个小标题下的“While the demanding 50km Xtreme route covers 828m-high Black River Peak, a beginner-friendly Mini Dodo Trail (10 km) is easier.”(虽然50公里的极限路线需要跨越828米高的Black River Peak，但对初学者友好的Mini Dodo Trail(10公里)是比较容易的。)可知，对于缺乏经验的跑步者而言，Dodo Trail比较合适。故选B项。
【2题详解】推理判断题。根据第三个小标题下的“Neck-ache could be a problem: in one direction lies the scenic South Sea, and in another handsome forest and, if you’re lucky, a koala or two.”(脖子疼可能是个问题：一个方向是风景优美的南海，另一个方向是美丽的森林，如果你幸运的话，还会有一两只考拉。)可知，沿途有很多优美的风景，作者以“脖子疼”这种幽默的口吻叙述，是为了突出美丽的风景。故选A项。
【3题详解】细节理解题。根据第一个小标题下的“Watch out for monkeys, and the gigantic tree vines that memorably hug some of the great buildings.”(小心猴子，还有那些令人难忘的缠绕着一些伟大建筑的巨大藤蔓。)，第二个小标题下的“Crossing rugged coastline and tropical forests, the Dodo Trail is full of wildlife, although the famous dodo bird remains, sadly, extinct. ”(穿过崎岖的海岸线和热带森林，Dodo Trail之路到处都是野生动物，尽管著名的渡渡鸟已经灭绝。)，第三个小标题下的“Neck-ache could be a problem: in one direction lies the scenic South Sea, and in another handsome forest and, if you’re lucky, a koala or two.”(脖子疼可能是个问题：一个方向是风景优美的南海，另一个方向是美丽的森林，如果你幸运的话，还会有一两只考拉。)”以及第四个小标题下的“The start time is dependent on the race-day location of the Big Five members – African elephants, Cape buffalo, lions, leopards and rhinos – as organizers try to guarantee sightings.”(比赛的开始时间取决于“五大”成员(非洲象、非洲水牛、狮子、豹子和犀牛)在比赛日的地点，因为组织者试图确保能看到这些动物。)可知，这四个马拉松沿途都能看到野生动物。故选C项。

My favourite Books
—Posted by Catherine Chung.a great writer
Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang
This collection contains several maths stories. The one I recommend is Division By Zero,about Jane Parkinson,a brilliant German mathematician.To her great despair,she ends up proving that mathematics is inconsistent and is able to prove that any two numbers are equal.A beautiful,thought-provoking(发人深省的)story about belief,understanding，and faith.
The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa
It's about a woman who comes to work for a once-great mathematician.Due to a brain injury,he has only 80 minutes of short-term memory available to him before he forgets everything. It is filled with beautiful maths,simply and clearly described alongside finely drawn relationships between the characters.
Too Much Happiness by Alice Munro
Kovalevskaya was a 19th-century mathematician at a time when women were not allowed in most of Europe to attend university. She married a man who promised to take her to Germany to study. She made major contributions to the field and became the first woman in Russia to obtain a doctorate in mathematics.
The Ore Miner's Wife by Karl Iagnemma
It is about a miner who thinks he's discovered the proof to the problem: construct a square,equal in area to a given circle. His wife, not knowing what has suddenly taken his attention and his time, fears he is being unfaithful. A moving exploration of the joys of entering a problem whole and the desire and impossibility of truly knowing those we love.

湖南省雅礼十六校2022届高三第二次联考
New Year’s Food Around the World
Hoppin' John, American South
A major New Year's food tradition in the American South, Hoppin' John is a dish of pork-flavored field peas or black-eyed peas (symbolizing coins) and rice, frequently served with collards or other cooked greens (as they're the color of money) and cornbread (the color of gold). The dish is said to bring good luck in the new year.
Different folklore traces the history and the name of this meal, but the current dish has its roots in African and West Indian traditions and was most likely brought over by slaves to North America. A recipe for Hoppin' John appears as early as 1847 in Sarah Rutledge's "The Carolina Housewife" and has been reinterpreted over the centuries by home and professional chefs.
The dish reportedly got its name in Charleston, South Carolina, and it is a veritable staple of Lowcountry cooking.
Twelve grapes, Spain
The people of Spain traditionally watch a broadcast from Puerta del Sol in Madrid, where revelers gather in front of the square's clock tower to ring in the New Year.
Those out in the square and those watching at home partake in an unusual annual tradition: At the stroke of midnight, they eat one grape for every toll of the clock bell. Some even prep their grapes -- peeling and seeding them -- to make sure they will be as efficient as possible when midnight comes.
The custom began at the turn of the 20th century and was purportedly thought up by grape producers in the southern part of the country with a bumper crop. Since then, the tradition has spread to many Spanish-speaking nations.
Soba noodles, Japan
In Japanese households, families eat buckwheat soba noodles, or toshikoshi soba, at midnight on New Year's Eve to bid farewell to the year gone by and welcome the year to come. The tradition dates back to the 17th century, and the long noodles symbolize longevity and prosperity.
In another custom called mochitsuki, friends and family spend the day before New Year's pounding mochi rice cakes. Sweet, glutinous rice is washed, soaked, steamed and pounded into a smooth mass. Then guests take turns pinching off pieces to make into small buns that are later eaten for dessert.
1. Which city may you travel to if you want to taste fruits on New Year’s Eve?
A. Savannah B. Rio de Janeiro
C. Madrid D. Sapporo
2. These traditions share the following features except______
A. They symbolize people’s hope for the upcoming year.
B. All of them are not eaten at midnight on New Year’s Eve.
C. They reflect the values of a nation to a certain degree.
D. They had their origin in the countryside.
3. In which of the magazine will you probably find this article?
A. Food and Health B. Famous Cuisine
C. Global Culture D. Delicacy Hunt
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C
【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了世界各地的新年食物。
【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段的“The people of Spain traditionally watch a broadcast from Puerta del Sol in Madrid, where revelers gather in front of the square's clock tower to ring in the New Year.( 西班牙人传统上在马德里的索尔港观看广播，狂欢者们聚集在广场的钟楼前迎接新年。)”和第五段的“Those out in the square and those watching at home partake in an unusual annual tradition: At the stroke of midnight, they eat one grape for every toll of the clock bell.(那些在广场上和在家里观看的人享受着一种不同寻常的年度传统：午夜钟声敲响时，每敲一次钟就吃一颗葡萄。)”可知，如果你想在新年前夕品尝水果可以去马德里。故选C。
【2题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段的“Different folklore traces the history and the name of this meal, but the current dish has its roots in African and West Indian traditions and was most likely brought over by slaves to North America.(不同的民间传说追溯了这顿饭的历史和名字，但现在的这道菜起源于非洲和西印度群岛的传统，很可能是由奴隶带到北美的。)”可知，这个传统不是起源于农村。故D项“它们起源于农村”是不正确。故选D。
【3题详解】推理判断题。根据文章标题“New Year’s Food Around the World”和下文的三个段落小标题可知，文章讲述的是世界各地的新年食物，因此推断最有可能在杂志的美食栏目发现它。故选C。

2022 年广州市普通高中毕业班综合测试（二）
Like humans, animals need sleep too. A big problem for animals in the wild is keeping their enemies

away while they sleep. Animals take care of this problem in different ways.
Anolis lizards live in many areas including tropical rainforests. They often sleep on leaves at the end of long branches. A leaf might seem like a strange bed, but it works like an alarm. If a hungry snake wiggles a branch, the lizard wakes up and leaps to safety.
Chimpanzees take their sleep very seriously. Each day, a chimpanzee builds itself a new, comfortable bed to sleep in. Scientists believe chimpanzees carefully choose a tree that is strong, where they build a nest using branches and leaves.
Parrotfish live among coral reefs in oceans. Every night, parrotfish usually sleep close to the rock in sheltered places. Some parrotfish go one step further by quickly making a slime layer that covers their whole body. This covering acts like a sleeping bag that provides a barrier against danger.
Bottle-nosed dolphins need to sleep, but they have to be on the ocean’s surface to breathe. They also need to watch over their young. What do they do? While half of the dolphin’s brain sleeps, the other half stays awake. After a while, the sleeping half wakes up while the other half snoozes.
Sooty terns have the most amazing sleep. They nest on islands. When they are not nesting, they live for many years in the sky and on the sea’s surface. When and where can they sleep? Scientists believe they are able to sleep while they are flying, staying out of the reach of enemies.
21.What is the shared concern when wild animals sleep?
A. Quietness. B. Time length. C. Comfort. D. Safety.
22.Which animals need the most preparation before sleep?
A. Anolis lizards. B. Chimpanzees. C. Parrotfish. D. Sooty terns.
23.What do we know about the sleeping habit of bottle-nosed dolphins?
A.They sleep on the job.
B.They don’t sleep at all.
C.They sleep deep in the ocean.
D.They sleep the least of all animals.
21. D.细节理解题。根据文章第-段"A big problem for animals in the wild is keeping their enemies away while they sleep."可知所有野生动物睡眠时最大的顾虑是安全问题。
22. B.细节理解题。根据文章第三段"Each day, a chimpanzee builds itself a new, comfortable bed to sleep in." 和"Scientists believe carefully choose a tree that is strong, where they build a nest using branches and leaves."得知chimpanzee是睡前准备做得最充足的。
23. A.细节理解题。根据文第五段bottle-nosed dolphins的介绍，可以根据"they also need to watch over their young"得知答案选择A。B、D选项明显不符合题意, C选项 根据"but they have to be on the ocean's surface to breathe"排除。
