2023年广东省广州市天河区三模英语试卷

一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共37.5分）
A
Cold rains，icy sidewalks and gray skies can make winter travel a trial.But hot drinks，snowy slopes，frozen lakes and blue skies full of fresh air？That's the kind of winter we can all have a try.Here are some cities around the world that make for a great cold-weather destination.
Prague，Czech Republic
With its snow-capped towers and cobbled winding streets，Prague is a fairytale city that remains relatively tourist-free in winter.The unusual and impressive architecture looks even prettier under a sheet of snow.Gas street lamps throughout the city center add a romantic color to evenings.Cafes here are ideal for escaping the bitter cold.The fascinating Estates Theatre，where Mozart conducted the world premiere（首演） of "Don Giovanni"in 1787，is a must.
Tromso，Norway
Tromso，known as the capital of the Arctic，is great in winter.It's widely regarded as Norway's most beautiful city and is a base for spotting the northern lights.There are also fascinating museums，including the Polar Museum，which offers an insight into the history of Arctic expeditions，and the Tromso Museum，famous for its Sami exhibitions.
Amsterdam，Netherlands
In winter，Amsterdam's museums are much less crowded，making it the time to visit attractions such as Rijksmuseum or the Anne Frank House.Built originally to house a circus，the Royal Carré Theatre is more than 130 years old.Children will love the spectacular performances.
Edinburgh，Scotland
Cobbled streets，a beautiful castle and lovely public gardens make Edinburgh a beautiful city any time of year，but in winter it's breathtaking.Princes Street Gardens is transformed into a wonderland，with ice skating rinks，enormous Christmas trees and a Ferris wheel.On the edge of the city，Arthur's Seat is the perfect location for a winter walk and the views from the top are second to none.
1. What is one of the attractions of Prague in winter？ ______
A. No charge for all tourists.
B. Iconic architectures covered by snow.
C. Colorful gas lamps for street lighting.
D. Mozart's performance"Don Giovanni".
2. If you take your 4-year-old kid，which place is the best choice？ ______
A. Prague，Czech Republic. B. Tromso，Norway.
C. Amsterdam，Netherlands. D. Edinburgh，Scotland.
3. Where is this text probably from？ ______
A. A tour blog. B. A travel magazine.
C. A geography textbook. D. A government website.
B
My grandmother moved into an old people's home and I visited her there.She was sitting in the living room with other residents，half of them asleep.The room was clean and the care assistants were kind and cheerful.A general knowledge quiz show was on the television and the only other sounds were snoring（打呼噜）.Grandma talked a lot about how much she missed her grandson but I hated going to visit her there and，to be honest，I couldn't wait to get away myself.
So I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people's homes in France.The idea is simple，but revolutionary —combining an old people's home with a nursery school in the same building.The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities such as painting and gardening.In the afternoons，the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children，and if a child is feeling sad or tired，there is always a kind lap to sit on.
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young.There are many reasons for this，but the result is the same：increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people having no contact with children，and more old people who feel lonely and useless，along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support.It's a major problem in many societies.
That's why intergenerational programmes，designed to bring the old and the young together，are growing in popularity all over the world.There are examples of successful initiatives.Young people teaching IT skills to older people is one obvious example.Old people working as volunteer assistants in schools is another，perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.
The advantages are enormous.The children are happy because they get more individual attention.They also see illness and death and learn to accept them.The residents are happy because they feel useful and more interested in life.There will be less conflict in a community if older people can understand the youth，and vice versa.
Now we need to rediscover what "community"really means.Then perhaps getting old won't be such a depressing prospect after all.
4. Why did the author hate going to the old people's home？ ______
A. The old people's home was lifeless.
B. He didn't love his grandmother that much.
C. He didn't want to disturb the sleeping people.
D. The staff were so helpful that he wasn't needed.
5. Why does the author mention the newspaper story in paragraph 2？ ______
A. To present a possible solution.
B. To share his reading experience.
C. To introduce the topic for discussion.
D. To add some background information.
6. What problem are many societies facing？ ______
A. Generation gap. B. Care for the eldly.
C. Support for children. D. Intergenerational contact.
7. What's an advantage of bringing the old and the young together？ ______
A. Children feel meaningful in life.
B. The old will feel fulfilling in life.
C. Children learn more modern skills.
D. The old can better understand aging.
C
For many people，having children can force them to choose between career and family.Sometimes it comes down to finances —sending a child to nursery or hiring a nanny can be a huge financial burden，while others may feel it's better to be a hands-on parent.These days，more and more men are choosing to stay at home to look after the kids.So why are more dads choosing to put their careers on hold，and what does the job involve？
With more women working outside the home than 70 years ago，if the need is there for one parent to stay at home，it could simply come down to who earns more —the biggest breadwinner.And with attitudes changing towards a man's role in the family，it seems to be easier for them to enter full-time parenthood.Sadly，though，many men still feel shamed by choosing to raise their child.A study in the US by the Pews Research Center found that 51%of people thought children were better off if a mother stayed at home.But what do parents have to do when they choose to stay with their kids？
In the early stages，a baby is totally dependent on a carer.The changing of nappies（尿布），burping after milk and making sure they feed on time are just some of the vital 24-7 activities a baby relies on.During this period，many parents take paternity and maternity leave from work.But as a child gets older，it can become less about necessity and more about choice.Rather than choose a creche（日托中心），which can prove expensive，either parent may remain at home to educate，protect and play with their children to help them develop and grow.
It's a difficult job，with a demanding boss，but it can also be incredibly rewarding for those willing to do it.And with attitudes changing towards who should stay at home，maybe more and more fathers will choose to become stay-at-home dads.
8. When may a man choose to stay at home for the child？ ______
A. When he is more needed by his child.
B. When he is tired of doing a full-time job.
C. When his wife earns more money than him.
D. When he wants to change his role in the family.
9. As the kid gets older，what does full-time parenting mean？ ______
A. It seems less expensive. B. It is more time-consuming.
C. It is more important to kids. D. It becomes more complicated.
10. What does "a demanding boss"in the last paragraph refer to？ ______
A. A kid. B. A carer. C. A parent. D. A manager.
11. What would be the best title for the text？ ______
A. Full-time Parenting is Rewarding.
B. More Men Become Full-time Dads.
C. Full-time Dads—Biggest Breadwinner.
D. Full-time parents Benefit Children's Growth.
D
Few businesses can run without computers，giving keyboard shortcuts an incredible importance.Schools view typing courses as necessary.But what are we giving up as handwriting loses its significance？
Brain power，according to science.Researchers from Princeton University and the University of California conducted a series of studies to demonstrate the differences between students who wrote out their notes and those who typed them.Study participants took notes on a lecture using one of the two methods and were tested 30 minutes after the lecture，and again a week later.
The results showed both types of notetakers did well on the first test.The longhand notetakers had a stronger grasp of the overall concept.Students with the handwritten notes were also able to better remember and understand the concept of the lecture a week later，and were more open to understanding new ideas.
According to Pam Mueller，lead author of the study，"Our findings suggest even when laptops are used as intended，they may still be harming academic performance." Part of the reason is that it was faster to take notes on the laptop，using exactly the same words meant they weren't truly engaged in the content.But notetakers using pen and paper tended to digest the material better and could rephrase it in their own words.
Although typing notes using exactly the same words can help in recalling facts in the short term，it takes the focus away from the main points of the lesson."Ironically，the feature that makes their laptop notetaking so attractive —the ability to take notes more quickly was what weakened learning，" educational psychologist Dr.Kenneth Kiewra told the Wall Street Journal.
Computers aren't going away soon，but that doesn't mean paper notebooks become outdated.In fact，it is best to start using them at an early age.University of Indiana researchers compared brain scans of five-year-olds —some who practiced the printing letters，and some who just looked at the letters.Those who wrote out the letters had more enhanced and adult-like brain activity.
12. In the study，what were the participants asked to do？ ______
A. Compare typing and handwriting.
B. Take notes by typing or handwriting and take tests.
C. Take two tests right after taking notes on the lecture.
D. Take notes using exactly the same words on the lecture.
13. What does the underlined word"longhand"in paragraph 3 mean？ ______
A. Fast. B. Flexible. C. Typing. D. Handwriting.
14. What contributes to better learning in note-taking？ ______
A. Using the exact words.
B. Introducing modern tools.
C. Writing as quickly as possible.
D. Rephrasing the learning material.
15. What would be the best title for the text？ ______
A. Typing matters in a way.
B. A Pen is better than a keyboard.
C. Handwriting builds your brain power.
D. Handwriting or typing is a question.

二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）
Were you ever told to stop daydreaming and concentrate in school life？It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren't interested in what you were learning or if you had better things to think about. （1） ______ Fortunately，understanding how to deal with it，and knowing what is distracting（使分心） you，can help.
Scientists have looked at what makes us distracted and found a number of ways to help us grown- ups stay in the zone. （2） ______ Research by Science Focus magazine found it helpful to seat yourself at a quiet coffee bar working on your laptop.It also found turning off notifications on your phone，or switching it off altogether，removed a major distraction and helped us focus on the task at hand.
（ 3） ______ Psychologists are increasingly interested in our ability to get wholly absorbed in our work and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make us concentrate.According to their findings，making a task more visually demanding works a lot.Our brain may get the signal that the task takes up more processing power and leaves it nothing left to process distractions.
There are more practical tips to keep you focused.Make a reasonable list or timetable of the tasks you have to do.Find a workspace where you're not tempted to do other things. （4） ______ It's possible that the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted.
As adults，we are trying so hard to avoid being distracted.However，distraction isn't all bad.If we were always so focused that we never got distracted，we'd miss potential changes，such as threats，in our environment.（5） ______

A.Or chew some gum!

C.In this sense，distraction is vital for survival.
D.Another possible way is to keep your mind busy.

I think Luca and I live in different universes.Like yesterday.One of our division problems had the number 9，999.She said，"All those nines.They feel so…so purple!" Purple？I see numbers as logical and orderly.Not as colors.
However，our teacher assigned us two for a class project.We had to do a report on the rose willow（红柳）.No way could I work with someone who said nines felt purple.
At our first meeting，we came up with a plan.Luca would make a 1.5-meter tall tree，and I would write the report.But on Monday，just one week before the due，Luca said she was leaving to visit her grandfather but there was no room for a tree in the car.That means I，the one who can't even draw a stick figure，would have to make the tree.And she，the one who doesn't like to think logically，would have to write the report.
I reminded her of some things she should include in the report，such as its characteristics，distribution and function."Please be at my house at 2：00 on Sunday，"I said.While she'd gone，I made the tree according to some directions online.
Sunday arrived.Luca turned up carrying only a digital recorder."What's that for？" I asked."Where's the report？"She said，"A written report doesn't feel right，so I use feelings."I tried to keep my voice calm，"Rose willows don't have feelings.""But my grandfather does，"Luca said."I interviewed my grandfather about how he planted trees in the desert.Listen."
A scratchy（沙哑的） voice came on."The dry，hot weather makes it difficult for anything to survive.For five years，the seedlings we planted were all dead."I looked sideways at Luca.Her nose was scrunched up（吱嘎作响）.So was mine.He continued."We felt hopeless.Suddenly a young life swaying in the wind caught our eye.All of us cried —such joy.All my life，I remember that feeling，of seeing the little tree."Luca turned off the recording and said，"He talks more，about living there and working there."
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；

12~15.【答案】B、D、D、D
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段Researchers from Princeton University and the University of California conducted a series of studies to demonstrate the differences between students who wrote out their notes and those who typed them.Study participants took notes on a lecture using one of the two methods and were tested 30 minutes after the lecture，and again a week later.（普林斯顿大学和加州大学的研究人员进行了一系列研究，以证明写笔记的学生和打字的学生之间的差异。研究参与者用两种方法中的一种记笔记，并在讲座后30分钟接受测试，一周后再次接受测试。）可知在研究中，参与者被要求通过打字或手写做笔记，并参加考试。故选B。
（2）词义猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子The results showed both types of notetakers did well on the first test.The  longhand notetakers had a stronger grasp of the overall concept.（结果显示，两种类型的记笔记者在第一次测试中都表现良好。手写笔记的人对整体概念的把握更强。）可知划线词意思是"手写的"。A.Fast.快的；B.Flexible.灵活的；C.Typing.打字的；D.Handwriting.手写的，书面的。故选D。
（3）推理判断题。根据第四段But notetakers using pen and paper tended to digest the material better and could rephrase it in their own words.（但使用笔和纸的笔记者往往能更好地消化材料，并能用自己的话重新表述。）可知重新表述学习材料有助于更好地学习笔记。故选D。
（4）标题归纳题。阅读全文以及根据第一段Few businesses can run without computers，giving keyboard shortcuts an incredible importance.Schools view typing courses as necessary.But what are we giving up as handwriting loses its significance？（几乎没有企业可以离开电脑运行，这让键盘快捷键变得异常重要。学校认为打字课程是必要的。但是，随着笔迹失去了它的重要性，我们放弃了什么呢？）以及最后一段Computers aren't going away soon，but that doesn't mean paper notebooks become outdated.In fact，it is best to start using them at an early age.University of Indiana researchers compared brain scans of five-year-olds —some who practiced the printing letters，and some who just looked at the letters.Those who wrote out the letters had more enhanced and adult-like brain activity.（电脑不会很快消失，但这并不意味着纸质笔记本会过时。事实上，最好在很小的时候就开始使用它们。印第安纳大学的研究人员比较了五岁儿童的脑部扫描，其中一些孩子练习打印字母，另一些孩子只是看字母。那些写出字母的人的大脑活动更强，更像成年人。）可知本文主要讲述了随着电脑的普及，人们越来越少地使用手写，而使用键盘快捷键成为必不可少的技能。但是通过研究，手写和电脑打字都有各自的有点。所以"D.Handwriting or typing is a question.手写还是打字是一个问题。"为最佳答案。故选D。
本文主要讲述了随着电脑的普及，人们越来越少地使用手写，而使用键盘快捷键成为必不可少的技能。然而，随着手写的重要性逐渐降低，我们是否会失去一些大脑能力呢？

【小题8】as
【小题9】an

（4）考查主谓一致。句意：在这次旅行中，他用700卷胶卷拍摄了2.5万张照片，其中一半是彩色的。half of which指代上文的25，000 photographs，从句的主语为复数，时态为一般过去时，故填were。

本文主要介绍了街头摄影师乔尔迈耶罗维茨，他是最早的彩色摄影倡导者之一。

     （3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
     根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
     （4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
     在确定了思路和内容之后。最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
