绝密★启用前 南京市2020~2021学年度高三年级第一学期期初检测 ‎ 英语试题 2020.08‎ ‎(满分:150分,考试时间:120分钟)‎ 第二部分 阅读理解(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和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。‎ A It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes.They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment.They pay$5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.‎ It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions(性情),but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are,as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bem,by observing our own behavior.We can be strangers to ourselves.If we knew our own minds,why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book,we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes.Actually,we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.‎ Moreover,we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character-we infer characters that weren't there before.Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us,which we fail to recognize.Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't.Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us.We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.‎ Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make,people become what they do,though it may not be in compliance(符合)with their true desires.Therefore,we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice:"We are what we pretend to be,so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."‎ ‎21.According to the passage,personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to_‎ A.determine one's behavior B.reflect one' s taste C.influence one's surroundings D.result from one's habits ‎22.Which of the following would Daryl Bem most probably agree with?‎ A.The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty.‎ B.A kind person will offer his seat to the old.‎ 11‎ C.One recycles plastics to protect the environment.‎ D.One buys latte out of true love of coffee.‎ ‎23.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?‎ A.We fail to realize our inner dispositions.‎ B.We can be influenced by outside pressures.‎ C.Our behavior is the result of our true desires.‎ D.Our characters can shape our social relationships.‎ ‎24.What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?‎ A.Personalities and attitudes. B.Preferences and habits.‎ C.Behavior and personalities. D.Attitudes and preferences.‎ B One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest,the next,the air was charged with tension.The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed.l urged the elephant deeper into the forest.We sounded like a forest fire-crackling,snapping,trailblazing.But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry.The elephant stopped and we heard it again-the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.‎ I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest.Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches,beneath which the patchwork(交错)of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes(条纹)look more attractive.Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach,the forest was silent.‎ Gradually,the tension slipped from our bodies.The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth.l reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck;there was a soft part,free of wrinkles and hairs,behind her ear.‎ This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end.Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains,Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers,but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts(出没处),a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity.Still,I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear.If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger,l could have gone to a zoo.After all,spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty;tracking them can make you aware of something more.‎ ‎25.Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?‎ A.The elephant stopped. B.A spotted deer called.‎ C.The elephant seized a branch. D.The forest was silent for a while.‎ ‎26.The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by.‎ A.describing various sounds B.comparing different animals C.listing different activities D.introducing various plants ‎27.What does the underlined part"to sense the aura"most probably mean?‎ 11‎ A.To see the diversity. B.To enjoy the scenery.‎ C.To feel the atmosphere. D.To experience the freedom.‎ ‎28.How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?‎ A.Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.‎ B.It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett.‎ C.It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.‎ D.The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.‎ C The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly.Sadly,biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid-we simply weigh too much,and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet,resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.‎ However,several types of animals can walk on water.One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus,a lizard(蜥蜴)native o Central and South America.It can run across water for a distance of several meters,avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface with its feet.The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward.For humans to do this,we'd need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate"hitting."‎ But fortunately there is an alternative:cornflour.By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water(and it does take a lot),you can create a "non-Newtonian"liquid that doesn't behave like normal water.Now,if the surface of the water is hit hard enough,particles(粒子)in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard.Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step,and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.‎ Fun though all this may sound,it's still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice.If you must do it,then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink-and take a shower afterward!‎ ‎29.Walking on water hasn't become a reality mainly because humans.‎ A.are not interested in it B.have biological limitations C.have not invented proper tools D.are afraid to make an attempt ‎30.What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?‎ A.It is light enough to walk on water.‎ B.Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.‎ C.It can run across water at a certain speed.‎ D.Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.‎ ‎31.What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?‎ A.To create a thick liquid. B.To turn the water into solid.‎ 11‎ C.To help the liquid behave normally. D.To enable the water to move rapidly.‎ ‎32.What is the author's attitude toward the idea of humans' walking on water?‎ A.It is risky but beneficial. B.It is interesting and worth trying.‎ C.It is crazy and cannot become a reality. D.It is impractical though theoretically possible.‎ D There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise.Some people believe that they can't help putting on weight as they get older,while others hold that if they stop exercising,their muscles will turn into fat.Here are some more myths:‎ I' ll never lose weight-I come from a fat family Wrong!While we can't change the body type we are born with,we can't blame our genes for making us fat.There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families,and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.‎ I am fat because I burn calories slowly Wrong!Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢)。In fact,although fat people consume more energy than slim people,they also fail to realize how much they eat!Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.‎ Exercise is boring Wrong!Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively.The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that's fun as well as progressive.If you enjoy a Sunday walk,take a different route.If you do yoga,try a tai chi class.If you like swimming,set yourself a distance or time challenge.‎ No pain,no gain Wrong!Exercise is not meant to hurt.Indeed,pain is your body telling you something's wrong,and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury.You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly,but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly.If they don't,rest and seek medical advice.‎ ‎33.What does the author think about being fat?‎ A.It is the family genes that make people fat.‎ B.People are fat because they consume too little energy.‎ C.A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.‎ D.It is the consequence of people's unbalanced lifestyle.‎ ‎34.According to the author,how can we make exercise more interesting?‎ A.By taking varied exercise. B.By choosing simple exercise.‎ C.By doing regular exercise. D.By sticking to outdoor exercise.‎ ‎35.What is the author's opinion about"No pain,no gain"in exercising?‎ A.Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.‎ 11‎ B.Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.‎ C.Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.‎ D.Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.‎ 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ W:Hello,Jack.You're getting ready for tomorrow's lessons,aren't you?‎ M:Yes,I'm a bit nervous.36‎ W:I understand how you're feeling.You'll make a lot of friends very soon.‎ M:Thank you.I'll try my best to get used to my new school life as soon as possible.‎ ‎37‎ W:At 8 o' clock. 38‎ M:Say it,please.‎ W:Before class we have 10 minutes to hand in homework and then 20 minutes for morning reading.‎ M:That' s to say,we must get to school at 7:25.Five minutes later we'd hand in homework.Right?‎ W:Right.39‎ M:Well.I hear that lunch time is nearly 12 o' clock and I' ll be starving by then.‎ W:Don't worry.40‎ M:That's great.‎ A.So I suggest you get up before 7:00.‎ B.By the way,what time does the first class begin?‎ C.How long will it take us to finish our homework?‎ D.But there is some other suggested time you should remember.‎ E.During the break after the second class,we can buy something to eat.‎ F.I have no idea what' ll happen in class and how I'll get along with my classmates.‎ G.I really don't know what to do after class.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分40分)‎ 第一节(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分)‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。‎ A Welcome Gift

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)‎ 11‎ 阅读下面短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文 More and more parents are sending their children on"micro-foreign study tours".Parents hope these tours,typically 10 to 14 days travelling through English-speaking countries such as America or the UK,will help improve their children's language proficiency as well as provide them with a greater understanding of the local customs and culture.‎ But while these tours are"micro"in terms of time,they certainly aren't micro in price.The average tour costs RMB 30,000!‎ And just how useful are they?First of all,participating children don't have much time to "study".They typically attend a few morning lessons then travel to some world-famous universities or scenic spots in the afternoon and on the weekend.Their exposure to the local culture comes mainly during the time they stay with a local family,usually 2 or 3 days.For the rest of the tour they are with their Chinese classmates,almost always speaking Chinese.And on some tours, organizers take students,who are often too young to make sensible decisions,on shopping trips where they're encouraged to buy all kinds of useless"souvenirs".No wonder when they return,most children talk of the"fun we had",and"places we saw"rather than the"things we learnt".‎ So some parents are now having second thoughts about the value of these micro-foreign study tours.How much do they really help their children?Are they worth the money?And finally,are the tours meant for study or just for pleasure?‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎1.以约30词概括上文的主要内容。‎ ‎2.以约120词对父母送孩子出国游学的现象进行讨论,内容包括:‎ ‎(1)你是否赞成文中对出国游学的看法?‎

the eyesight of some kids addicted to the iPad.They've got nearsighted owing to using it too much. Apparently,ipad has become the first killer of kids' eyesight.‎ Honestly speaking,iPad brings a lot of convenience to our modern life. However,more and more kids become too dependent upon it,thus suffering from nearsightedness.‎ To solve the problem,teachers and parents should limit their kids' time spent on it.Besides,it's vital for the kids to learn to care for their eyes.In brief,as long as we ensure iPad serves us rather than spoil us,we'll certainly enjoy a brighter world.‎ 篇目二:‎ 反对1‎ This passage talks about micro-foreign study tours and their expected benefits for children.However,given students' actual experience on such tours,many parents are now guesting their true value.‎ I think such worries are unnecessary.Travelling abroad,whether for study or pleasure,is a good way for students to broaden their horizon and become more sophisticated.My friend David went on such a tour,and said it was the most rewarding experience of his life.He attended a two-week course at Oxford University and then travelled to different parts of the UK,all of which helped him to learn ‎ 11‎ more about the history,culture and society of Britain.He was so impressed by the academic atmosphere at Oxford University that he now dreams of studying there in the future.‎ My own dream is to travel to America,attend some lectures in my dream school, Harvard University and travel to different parts of the USA with local students.This way l could have more opportunity to talk in English and learn about its life and culture.‎ 反对2‎ This passage talks about micro-foreign study tours and their expected benefits for children.However,given students' actual experience on such tours,many parents are now guesting their true value.‎ Though expensive,I still think study tours are worthwhile."A million miles is better than a million books,"the saying goes,and my experience on my own 2-week study tour of the UK confirmed this.Besides the excitement of seeing places I had only read about or seen in movies,my efforts at communicating with local people really helped to build my confidence.Visiting Cambridge has also made me determined to return there one day,but as a student.‎ If I go abroad again,I would like to tailor my own tour.By planning the route according to my own interests,and making decisions on things such as transport and accommodations,I would be able to apply what I've learned to real life and learn how to survive in a foreign country.‎ 赞成 More and more parents engage their children in expensive"micro-foreign study tours".However,they've failed to see the expected results and began to question the value of these study tours.‎ I couldn't agree more with the author.Students on such tours seldom improve in their spoken English,gain a very shallow understanding of foreign customs,and return loaded with shopping rather than cultural enrichment.‎ I went on such a tour myself four years ago.I still remember how other students behaved in class:they were all obsessed with their own business without paying any attention to the teachers.They were quite"enjoying"foreign classrooms:whispering and laughing,reading Chinese romantic novels,playing game-boys,or just chatting online.‎ Obviously,experiences like these don't make any educational sense.Perhaps, if tour involve students not only from China,but also from these countries,it will force students to communicate in English,which,at least in my opinion,would greatly improve their communicative English skills.‎ 11‎
