2023届四川省乐山市高三第一次调查研究考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解Architects all over the world have pushed the limits and broken boundaries when it comes to designing sports stadiums. Here are four of the most incredible stadiums across the globe.Olympic Stadium (London, England)The Olympic Stadium, often referred to as the “London Stadium”, was built within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park over the course of three years for the London 2012 Summer Olympics. It seats 80,000 people and cost $809 million to create. When the exterior lights up at night, it is truly a magnificent sight.Beijing National Stadium (Beijing, China)With a volume of three million cubic meters, the Bird’s Nest seats 91,000 people and is often considered the largest enclosed space in the world. Construction of the stadium began in December 2003 and finished in March 2008. The entire project cost an estimated 423 million dollars!Heinz Field (Pittsburgh, the United States)The Heinz Field began its construction in 1999 after the previous arena was torn down. The massive stadium cost $281 million to build and included 12,000 tons of steel to represent Pittsburgh’s history of steel production and the structure seats 68,000 people.Amsterdam Arena (Amsterdam, Netherlands)The largest stadium in the Netherlands, the Amsterdam Arena was built from 1993 to 1996 and cost more than $160 million to create. The stadium seats about 54,000 people. The classy and effortlessly cool design was unlike anything built during that time.1．Which stadium has the largest capacity?A．Olympic Stadium. B．Beijing National Stadium.C．Heinz Field. D．Amsterdam Arena.2．What do we know about Heinz Field?A．It was built within a park.B．It is a concrete-brick structure.C．It was unique in style at that time.D．It lies on the site of an old stadium.3．Where can the text be found?A．In a history book. B．In a fiction book.C．In an architecture magazine. D．In a biography. Wearing a beautiful fragrant cloud organza (香云纱) costume designed by herself, Kathrin von Rechenberg chatted with neighbors in a “hutong” or traditional alley, in the Qianmen area of central Beijing, where she runs a clothing studio. Born in Munich, Germany, Rechenberg was so attracted by this delicate, classic Chinese silk at first sight and touch that in 1999 she came to China in search of it.In order to learn more about this silk and seek design inspiration, she paid several visits to a dyeing (草木染) plant in Guangdong’s Shunde. “The production of fragrant cloud organza involves more than 30 times of dyeing and natural drying at each interval. After the dyeing, the organza needs to stand for years before the entire process is completed and it can be used, making the silk precious.”Rechenberg has always insisted on sticking to originality in her designs. She draws inspiration from geometric (几何) lines and architectural shapes and reduces unnecessary tailoring to preserve the original art design as much as possible. “Western costume designers are used to presenting beauty through complex design and tailoring, but I just follow the lines and fabric (织物的) colors,” Rechenberg said.Rechenberg was awarded the title of friendship ambassador of China’s textile intangible cultural heritage in 2020. Meanwhile, her own brand, Rechenberg Art Couture, has become increasingly popular. “I have gained a better understanding of the traditional Chinese culture over the past two decades in China and learned to pursue harmony with nature. I will continue to study Chinese culture and history,” she said.4．Why did Rechenberg come to China in 1999?A．To set up a clothing studio. B．To search for a specific silk.C．To find inspiration for design. D．To experience the local culture.5．What makes fragrant cloud organza valuable?A．Significant production time and unique techniques.B．Complex tailoring and beautiful patterns.C．Natural dyeing process and fragrant smell.D．Original art designs and various colors.6．What’s special about Rechenberg’s design?A．It features superior tailoring skills.B．It draws inspiration from Chinese history.C．It combines Chinese and Western styles.D．It respects the properties of clothing materials.7．Which of the following best describe Rechenberg?A．Enthusiastic and brave. B．Smart and inspiring.C．Considerate and careful. D．Devoted and principled. Just as human beings have to learn to speak, birds also have to learn how to sing. They do this in several stages.First, they practise tones and sounds, which can be compared to the baby stage in human language development. Then, birds practise their song for eight to nine months, until memory and practice match up. The singing is strengthened during the final stage.Humans and birds both appear to go through a stage when the brain is particularly receptive to learning language or song. This is why birds have to hear other birds of their own species sing while they are still young, otherwise, they won’t be able to produce much more than a whistle later on.So do birds sing with an accent? Birds don’t all sing the same songs, not even within a species. Although the members of each bird species share a vocabulary of sounds, dialect differences are quite common. Among yellowhammers, a distance of a few hundred metres is enough for the birds’ song to change. The individual dialects are learnt while the birds are still chicks in the nest—just as children adopt the dialect of their parents. The young birds always sing as well or as badly as their teachers, because the adults on which they model themselves vary in style and talent from region to region.Some bird species have more than 60 dialects, and many singers can be described as multilingual. Males that master several dialects have a better chance of finding a mate since females prefer mates from the same dialect family. Bird dialects also help to drive evolution, because different songs cause the formation of new sub-species and eventually even completely new species.8．How do young birds gain the skill of singing?A．By matching singing with their inborn memory. B．By practicing tones and sounds to their best.C．By imitating the birds of their own species. D．By trying hard to produce many whistles.9．Why do birds sing with an accent?A．They are receptive to learning different songs. B．They have different vocabulary of sounds.C．Their parents have different sounding features. D．Their talents in singing vary individually.10．Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “model”?A．Follow an example. B．Work as a model.C．Change dialects. D．Show respects.11．What’s the benefit of birds’ mastering several dialects?A．Scaring enemies away. B．Enriching language varieties.C．Enlarging territories. D．Promoting mating and evolving. Over the past century, more than a few great writers have expressed concern about humanity’s future. In Brave New World (1932), the British author Aldous Huxley pictured a near-perfect society in which unhappiness and aggression had been removed out of humanity through a combination of genetic engineering and psychological conditioning.It might surprise you to hear this, but these things have already happened. Now we are living in a world in which a handful of high-tech companies are not only monitoring much of our activity, but are also invisibly controlling more and more of what we think, feel, do and say.Take Google, the biggest and the best search engine. It gives us exactly the information we are looking for, almost instantly and almost always in the first position of the list after we launch our search—the list of “search results”. And that ordered list is so good, in fact, that about 50 per cent of our clicks go to the top two items, and more than 90 per cent of our clicks go to the 10 items listed on the first page of results. Seconds later, the decision we make or the opinion we form is determined by that short list we are shown, even though we have no idea how the list was generated.Of course, Google decides which of the billions of web pages it is going to include in our search results, and it also decides how to rank them. However, how it decides these things is a deep, dark secret—one of the best-kept secrets in the world, like the formula for Coca-Cola.The technology that now surrounds us is not just a harmless toy; it has also made possible undetectable and untraceable control of entire populations. If we choose to ignore this, we do so at our own risk.12．Why does the author mention the book Brave New World?A．To introduce the book. B．To lead in the topic.C．To arouse readers’ interest. D．To get readers into thinking.13．According to the passage, how does Google invisibly control us?A．By monitoring what we are searching. B．By offering us a wealth of information.C．By presenting what it would like us to see. D．By ranking the research results by importance.14．How does the author sound when discussing the problem?A．Cautious. B．Worried. C．Humorous. D．Curious.15．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．The New Mind Control. B．A Bad Choice of Technology.C．Connecting Through the Internet. D．A Double-edged Sword.  二、七选五We often try to save money for a variety of different reasons.
