    潼阳中学2021届高三第一次月考英语试卷阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A.B.C.D四个选项中选出最佳选项。ABrecon Beacons YAC has an amazing opportunity for budding(崭露头角的) archaeologists of all ages, in Sunderland in Tyne and Wear. Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help.Romans?“The site is a bit of a mystery”, Frank Giecco from Wardell Armstrong said. “There is a very nice cropmark recorded on the site that has got lots of people very excited. Geophysicists failed to find anything relating to the cropmark. There is anecdotal evidence of Roman material being found, but nothing is officially recorded. We hope to finally answer the question of what is in this field, during the two weeks on site. Is there evidence of any Roman occupation on the site? Can you help us find out?”Get involvedThis is an opportunity for both adults and children to take part in field walking and trial trenching (small hand-dug test pits for children). No experience is necessary, training will be provided by the professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong, and all equipment will be provided. Volunteers can attend for as few or as many days as they wish, but they do need to book a place.For more information, and to book your place, please contact Norman Kirtlan at sunderlandforgottenstones@gmail.com.21If you intend to take part in the activity, you ______.Awill be charged for using equipmentBwill be coached by experts in the fieldCshould have worked with archaeologists beforeDshould spare two weeks to stay at the site22What’s the main purpose of the passage?ATo seek funding for archaeological research.BTo appeal for help in proving findings based on anecdotal evidence.CTo find volunteers to help solve an archaeological mystery.DTo organize volunteers to help sort our data on the Roman occupation.BListening to a radio broadcast in a foreign language is difficult for many of us. We may have studied the language for several years, and are able to read it, perhaps even write in it. But listening and understanding the spoken language require special skills. Some people have a natural ability that helps them to learn a language quickly, while others must study for a long time. Everyone, however, can improve his or her listening skills with practice.We are good listeners in our own language because we have had years of practice. We understand the grammar and the language. We know what to expect a person to say to us in almost any situation. We have been in similar situations many times, and we have heard it all before. We can understand it, even if we do not listen carefully.But this is not true with a foreign language. We must listen with our full attention. And we must try not to let the cultural style of our language affect our understanding of the foreign language. Listening to a foreign language broadcast is easier if we know something about it. There are clues that can help us. One clue is the time of a day. Morning programs usually contain many short items of news, information or entertainment. The items are short because most of us are getting ready to go to work in the morning. Often we do not have time to listen to long programs. Evening programs are different. There is time for more details about the subjects discussed.We can get a clue about the program from the music at the beginning, but we must be familiar with the music of the foreign culture. The kind of music—serious and slow, or fast and light—can tell us what kind of program to expect. The name of the program can give us good information about what it will contain.Another good clue is the broadcaster. The more we listen to the same person, the easier it will be to understand him. His speaking style will become familiar to us. Further, the broadcaster provides clues to the organization of the broadcast at the beginning of the program. The broadcaster usually gives us the highlights of the program to prepare us for the details that will follow.23We are good listeners in our own language because ______.Awe have a natural ability of learning languageBour own language is much easierCwe listen to our own language more carefully Dwe have practiced it for years24If you don’t have enough time, you can listen to ______.Aevening programs      Bprograms with soft musicCmorning programs      Dfamiliar programs25You can know the information of the program according to ______.Aits name        Bthe broadcaster Cits music        Dthe time of the programCCalifornia has been facing droughts for many years, with certain areas even having to pump freshwater hundreds of miles to their distribution system. The problem is growing as the population of the state continues to expand. New research has found deep water reserves under the state which could help solve their drought crisis. Previous drilling of wells could only reach depths of 1,000 feet, but due to new pumping practices, water deeper than this can now be extracted (抽取). The team at Stanford investigated the aquifers (地下蓄水层) below this depth and found that reserves may be three times what was previously thought.It is profitable to drill to depths more than 1,000 feet for oil and gas, but only recently in California has it become profitable to pump water from this depth. The aquifers range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the ground, which means that pumping will be expensive and there are other concerns. The biggest concern is the gradual setting down of the land surface. As the water is pumped out, the vacant space left is pressed by the weight of the earth above.Even though pumping from these depths is expensive, it is still cheaper than desalinating (脱盐) the ocean water in the largely coastal state. Some desalination plants exist where possible, but they are costly to run and can need constant repairs. Wells are much more reliable sources of freshwater, and California is hoping that these deep wells may be the answer to their severe water shortage.One problem with these sources is that the deep water also has a higher level of salt than shallower aquifers. This means that some water may even need to be desalinated after extraction, thus increasing the cost. Research from the study of groundwater has just been published. New estimates of the water reserves now go up to 2,700 billion cubic meters of freshwater.26According to the text, what causes the water crisis in California?APrevious drilling of wells.   BThe messy distribution system.CConstant droughts in the area.   DThe adoption of new pumping practices.27The research teams think it ______ to extract water from deeper aquifers.Aexpensive but practical   Breliable and profitableCcost-free but demanding   Dcheap and environment-friendly28What is mentioned as a consequence of extracting water from deep underground?AThe damage to aquifers.   BThe sinking of land surface.CThe decrease in operation costs.   DThe negative effects on the climate.29What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?ATo encourage people to save water.BTo promote the seawater desalination.CTo introduce a new way of extracting freshwater.DTo draw people’s attention to the droughts in California.DTo learn to think is to learn to question. Those who don't question never truly think for themselves. These are simple rules that have governed the advancement of science and human thought since the beginning of time. Advancements are made when thinkers question theories and introduce new ones. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories explained much of the natural world, often incorrectly. He was so esteemed by the scientific community that even 1200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them!Brilliant minds can intimidate up­and­coming thinkers who are not confident of their abilities. They often believe they are inferior to the minds of giants such as Aristotle, leading many to accept current paradigms instead of questioning them.I, like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental inferiority. I was certain that my parents, my teachers—adults in general—were always right. They were like a textbook to me; I didn't question what was written on those pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My mind's independence was first stimulated in the classroom.A stern, 65­year­old elementary school science teacher once told me that light is a type of wave. I confidently went through years of school believing that light is a wave. One dayhowever I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made up of particles. As the others laughed at his statement, I started to question my beliefs.Maybe the teachers and textbooks hadn't given me the whole story. I went to the library, did some research and learned of the light­as­a­wave versus light­as­a­particle debate. I read about Einstein's discovery of the dual nature of light and learned the facts of a paradox(悖论) that puzzles the world's greatest thinkers to this day. Light behaves as both a particle and a wave, it is both at once. I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.Each new year brought more new facts, and I formulated even more questions. I found myself in the library after school, trying to find my own answers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew. I discovered that my parents and teachers are incredible tools in my quest for knowledge, but they are never the final word. Even textbooks can be challenged. I learned to question my sources, I learned to be a thinker. I once believed that everything I learned at home and at school was certain, but I have now discovered to re­examine when necessary.Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth, and I plan to continue questioning. How many things do we know for sure today that we will question in the future? At this moment, I know that our sun will burn for another five billion years, and I know nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole. This knowledge, however, may change in the next 20 years—maybe even in the next two. The one thing we can control now is our openness to discovery. Questions are the tools of open minds, and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.30In the first paragraph, Aristotle is taken as an example to show that ______.Ahe is the greatest and respected philosopher of all timeBhuge influence of great thinkers may block human thoughtCadvancements are made when thinkers question theoriesDgreat thinkers often make mistakes and then correct them31What does the underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 2 mean?AFrighten.     BEncourage.      CStrength.        DPersuade.32The author began to question his previous beliefs because ______.Awhat he learned from textbooks before turned out to be wrongBhe was inspired by the different ideas from an exchange studentChe was laughed at by other students for his unacceptable statementDhe was not satisfied with his life and desperate to achieve success33According to the passage, the author ______.Alooks down upon great thinkers all the timeBnever doubts what he has learned in the textbookCalways throws himself into the laboratoryDdetermines to be a thinker and questioner34We can conclude from the last paragraph that ______.Athe author is not quite sure about his futureBwe human beings don't dare to predict futureCtheory of black holes will change in two yearsDquestioning is necessary to promote advancement the 35What does the passage mainly talk about?AFollowing rules.   BChallenging yourself.CQuestioning giants.   DPredicting future.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10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,选项中有两项为多余选项。Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.  36  We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative.   37   Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.   38  Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves:   39   If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best.   40   Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.Is it loving?How should I say it?We all talk to ourselves sometimes.Negative words destroy all those things.Generally people like positive and pleasant words.However, critical language may cause anger and defense.So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves. 语言运用(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共20小题,每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项My parents are from South Africa, and I’m a vegetarian, which no one in my small hometown in Washington understood.

Everything was perfect except the aging old horse, ‘The Old One'.Doubtfully, the young folks asked the old couple, “ Why do you not at least get rid of ‘The Old One’?”The old man looked down at his worn boots, holes in the toes, and replied softly, “We keep her because of love. Nothing else, just love.”Worried and confused, the young folks wished the old couple a Merry Christmas and headed back toward the city as darkness stole through the valley.The old couple shook their heads in sorrow. A tear fell upon their cheeks. How was it that these young folks did not understand the peace of the love that filled their hearts?Because of the unhappy leave-taking, no one noticed the first spark fall in the bam(马厩). None but the‘ The Old One'.In a matter of minutes, the bam was full of hungry flames. With a cry of horror and despair, the old couple sank sobbing to the ground, helpless. The bam was in ruins.The old man turned to his wife, forcing a smile, “We have lost much. Let us gather strength and climb the hill to the old pine where we have sought comfort in times of despair and pray for our beloved ‘The Old One'”.The journey up the hill was hard for their old bodies in the steep snow. As they got to the peak of the hill, the old man gave a cry of wonder and incredible joy. Amazed and puzzled, he took his wife by the hand and pulled her forward. There, beneath the pine tree was their Christmas gift-The Old One’ lay close to the trunk of the tree, with the entire herd.Paragraph 1:  As it turned out, the moment ‘The Old One' saw the smoke, she pushed the door and led the horses through it.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:  Spotting the old couple, ‘The Old One' seemed to be happy.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Colorful cultures and lifestyles of different English-speaking countries will be introduced. The program will last from 4 30 pm to 5: 00 pm every day, when most students are free. Besides, an English speech competition is to be held each term.I hope you could give us some advice on how to make the program more popular.Yours, Li Hua第二节   读后续写As it turned out, the moment ‘The Old One' saw the smoke, she pushed the door and led the horses through it The hungry flames were around them, licking their lips and hopping like rabbits. So frightened were the horses that they dashed about aimlessly. After what seemed to be ages, ‘The Old One' managed to calm them down. Slowly and with great dignity, she led them up the hill, stepping cautiously through the snow. As usual, she gathered the herd of horses under the old pine tree, where they often took a rest after eating grass.Spotting the old couple, ‘The Old One' seemed to be happy.She did not disappoint those she loved. Her body was weak, tired from the climb, but the gulden eyes were filled with devotion as she offered her gift to the old couple. Seeing the unexpected “Christmas gift”, the old couple couldn't help shouting their praise and joy...and again the peace of love filled their hearts. Tears flowing down, the old couple gently stroked ‘The Old One', murmuring, “Because of love. Only Because of love.”
