The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.‎ More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.‎ ‎“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 ‎ milliliters of blood almost every week. “I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. ‎ Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.‎ ‎4. Why did James Harrison decide to donate blood as regularly as he could?‎ A. Because he wanted to be a celebrity.‎ B. Because he was saved by the blood donations when he was young.‎ C. Because his blood is valuable.‎ D. Because the Rh treatment program in Australia need him.‎ ‎5. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?‎ ‎ A. Robyn Barlow was sad because millions of babies suffer from blood disease.‎ ‎ B. Robyn Barlow was worried because Harrison may die of losing too much blood.‎ ‎ C. Robyn Barlow was moved by Harrison’s donations.‎ ‎ D. Robyn Barlow was frightened by Harrison’s crazy behavior.‎ ‎6. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Harrison’s retirement will not affect the Rh program.‎ B. After Harrison’s retirement, the Rh program will fail.‎ C. Harrison’s influence to the Rh program will still exist after his retirement.‎ D. A library has been built for the study of Harrison’s DNA .‎ ‎7. Which word can best describe Harrison?‎ A. Patient. B. Diligent. C. Talented. D. Devoted.‎ C Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.‎ Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting the places for birds to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration or flight paths of almost 1,500 species. They decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas.‎ The major danger for migratory birds is development. Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “Many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation (开垦) because of urban, industrial and agricultural land expansion”.‎ The problem, according to scientists, is that many of these small birds die along their ‎ migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest. There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time in protecting land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. One species that doesn’t exist now is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says.‎ The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries. For example, one country might have preserved safe zones for migrating birds. But a neighbor country might not. A bird might die.‎ One scientist who is not connected with the report tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.‎ He says small changes, like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use, could make a big difference.‎ ‎8. What mainly caused the disappearing of birds’ habitats ?‎ A. The decrease of awareness to protect birds. ‎ B. Natural disasters.‎ C. Overuse of land by human beings. ‎ D. The rising sea level. ‎ ‎9. What may be the main reason for many birds’ death on the way of migration?‎ A. Exhaustion and hunger.  B. Beast attack on the ground. ‎ C. Hunting of humans. D. The long journey.‎ ‎10. According to the last two paragraphs, how should we protect the migrating birds?‎ A. By keeping fewer cats or dogs.‎ B. By restoring their destroyed habitats.‎ C. By helping change the birds’ migration paths.‎ D. By preserving the ecological environments on their migration paths.‎ ‎11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?‎ A. To tell us a huge percentage of bird species are in danger. ‎ B. To analyze the reasons for disappearing of birds’ habitats.‎ C. To offer some solutions to the problem of birds’ habitats. ‎ D. To call on people to protect the birds’ habitats.‎ D The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.‎ The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to ‎ climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.‎ Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a disadvantage with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.‎ In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged (揉搓) for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.‎ The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!‎ ‎12. What aroused Ash Newland’s desire to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?‎ A. Travelers’ requirements. B. His own experience.‎ C. His dream of invention. D. A traditional washboard.‎ ‎13. Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?‎ A. The bag was not convenient enough.‎ B. The bag was not popular with travelers.‎ C. The bag couldn’t wash more clothes at a time.‎ D. The bag couldn’t be folded up.‎ ‎14. Which word can best replace the underlined word in paragraph4?‎ A. Blown. B. Pushed C. Figured. D. Run.‎ ‎15. It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ______.‎ A. will lighten the burden on housewives B. will replace the traditional washing machines C. will be widely used by more travelers in the future D. can encourage more people to travel a long distance 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。‎ Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education. 16 If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.‎ ‎ 17 We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.‎ While limited within the walls of the educational places, we openly explore other cultures of the world! 18 Other cultures have valuable things to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures, getting more experience.‎ When there’s a recession (衰退) in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skill set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.‎ When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you gain access to people of similar backgrounds ‎ and tastes. 19 Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.‎ ‎ 20 You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip (说闲话), having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.‎ A. Therefore, they choose not to go to college.‎ B. We come to know that ours is not the only culture.‎ C. There is a negative side to earning a good education too.‎ D. A good education makes you a more interesting person.‎ E. It means a good education leads to excellent networking.‎ F. Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge. ‎ G. It has long been understood that an education can lead to long-term financial success.‎ 第二部分 英语运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15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。‎ I’d planned to spend my weekend in the sun, enjoying flowers outdoors.

But the ONS said that overall spending and income mattered less than personal circumstances when 38 (measure) life satisfaction. Good ‎ health, marital status (婚姻状况) and economic activity had the strongest associations with how positively life satisfaction is rated. ‎ Its analysis found that age also mattered: the young have 39 (high) life satisfaction than those in their 40s but life satisfaction rises again in later years, before falling again for those in their 80s. Living 40 (condition) were also important. Those who own their homes think their life satisfaction is more highly than ‎41 in poverty. ‎ But while spending is more important than income, households with 42 income of between £24,000 and £44,000 would feel more 43 (satisfy) if their income increased, the ONS found. The ONS said: “There is no evidence of a significant association between household income 44 life satisfaction overall after accounting for other characteristics, such as age, 45 (marry) and so on”.‎ 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节: 应用文写作（满分15分）‎ 假定你是校学生会主席李华，学生会将举行汉语书法大赛。请你给校国际部的交流生John写一封e-mail，邀请他参赛，内容包括：‎ ‎1.大赛内容；‎ ‎2.大赛时间、地点；‎ ‎3.参赛建议。‎ 注意：‎ ‎1.词数80词左右；‎ ‎2.可适当增加细节, 以使行文连贯。‎ 第二节: 读后续写（满分25分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。‎ The McDonnells lived in a small brick house in Larchmont, a suburb of New York City. Jim was foreman of mail carriers at the post office where he had worked for 25 years. Married in 1960, he and Anne were childless.‎ On the evening of the eleventh anniversary of their marriage, carrying out the garbage, Jim McDonnell slipped on icy steps, and struck his head. A few days later, driving to work, he lost control of the car, hit a telephone pole, and banged his forehead against the windshield. The following day he fell off the stairs, and again he banged his head. Found unconscious, he was hospitalized for three days with a cerebral concussion (脑震荡). One day in the same month, Jim borrowed a friend’s station wagon and drove to Kennedy‎ ‎Airport to pick up Anne’s brother and family. When he returned the borrowed car at 10 p.m., he was unaware that the wallet containing his identification had slipped out of his pocket onto the floor of the car. After that, he was never seen again.‎ So what really happened to Anne’s husband? During his walk home, Jim had indeed blacked out (昏厥), losing all ability to remember who he was and where he lived. What happened then is unclear. The next thing he knew was that he was in downtown Philadelphia, a city he had never visited before. Seeing signs advertising the services of a James Peters, a real estate broker, Jim adopted James Peters as his own name. He had no past; his only reality was the present. James Peters got a Social Security card, which could be obtained at that time without showing a birth certificate, and took a job in a health club. He next worked at a cancer research institute, cleaning out animal cages. He also got a night-shift job at the P&P luncheonette, where he became well known for his omelets (煎蛋卷), as well as his kindness and good humor.‎ 注意：‎ ‎1．所续写的短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。‎ Paragraph 1：‎ About a month before Christmas 1985, colleagues noticed that Jim had grown unusually quiet and depressed. ‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2：‎ Anne had just returned home from Christmas Mass, where she lit candles and prayed for Jim. ‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎2019-2020学年度第一学期期末学业水平检测 ‎ 高三英语参考答案 第一部分 阅读理解 （共20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分）‎ ‎1-3 ACC 4-7 BCCD 8-11 CADD 12-15 BABC 16-20 AFBED ‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分）‎ ‎21-25 DBCAD 26-30 BDCCA 31-35 BADBC 第二节：短文填空（共10小题，每小题1．5分，满分15分）‎ ‎36. helps 37.

Something seemed to be turning in his mind. On December 22, Jim had fallen and banged his head. The next day at work he seemed distracted, and late that afternoon he had fallen again, striking his head. On December 24, he awoke feeling confused, yet delighted. After almost 15 years, he knew who he was! He was James A. McDonnell, Jr., of Larchmont‎, ‎New York. His wife’s name was Anne.‎ Anne had just returned home from Christmas Mass, where she lit candles and prayed for Jim. A light snow was falling, and she was in a hurry to leave for Christmas dinner at her sister’s before the roads grew slick. Then the doorbell rang. "Oh my," she thought, "this is not a good time for a visitor." Anne opened the door — and saw a man with a full white beard. Immediately she recognized Jim. She couldn’t speak.‎ To Jim, Anne looked a little older, but prettier too. His heart overflowed.‎ ‎“Hello, Anne,” he said.‎ 评分原则 ‎1.本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。‎ ‎2.评分时，先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。‎ ‎3.所续写短文的词数应为150左右（词数少于130的，从总分中减去2分）。‎ ‎4.阅卷评分时，主要从以下四个方面考虑：‎ ‎（1）与所给短文及段落开头语的衔接程度；‎ ‎（2）内容的丰富性；‎ ‎（3）应用语法结构和词汇的丰富性和准确性；‎ ‎（4）故事发展的合理性和上下文的连贯性。‎ ‎5.拼写与标点符号是语言准确性的一个方面，评分时，应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。英、美拼写和词汇用法均可。‎ ‎6.如书写较差以致影响交际，可将分数降低一个档次。‎ 各档次给分范围及要求:‎ 第五档（21-25分）‎ ‎— 与所给短文融洽度高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接合理；‎ ‎— 内容丰富；‎ ‎— 所使用语法结构和词汇丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但完全不影响意义表达；‎ ‎— 有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使所续写短文结构紧凑。‎ 第四档（16-20分）‎ ‎— 与所给短文融洽度较高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接较为合理；‎ ‎— 内容比较丰富；‎ ‎— 所使用语法结构和词汇较为丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但完全不影响意义表达；‎ ‎— 比较有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使所续写短文结构紧凑。‎ 第三档（11-15分）‎ ‎— 与所给短文关系较为密切，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接；‎ ‎— 写出了若干有关内容；‎ ‎— 应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求，虽有一些错误，但不影响意义的表达；‎ ‎— 应用简单的语句间的连接成分，使全文内容连贯。‎ 第二档（6-10分）‎ ‎— 与所给短文有一定的关系，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接；‎ ‎— 写出了一些有关内容；‎ ‎— 语法结构单调、词汇项目有限，有些语法结构和词汇方面的错误，影响了意义的表达；‎ ‎— 较少使用语句间的连接成分，全文内容缺少连贯性。‎ 第一档（1-5分）‎ ‎— 与所给短文和开头语的衔接较差；‎ ‎— 产出内容太少；‎ ‎— 语法结构单调、词汇项目很有限，有较多语法结构和词汇方面的错误，严重影响了意义的表达；‎ ‎— 缺乏语句间的连接成分，全文内容不连贯。‎
