With the occurrence of the Internet, online communities have figured out a way to generate profit from the sharing of those underused property, Using websites and social media ‎ groups that facilitate the buying and selling of second-hand goods it is now easier than ever for peer-to-peer sharing activities to take place. And this is known as the sharing economy.‎ These popular online platforms are providing a chance for people to make a quick fortune. To give an example, busy parents previously might not have bothered with setting up a stall at the local market to sell their children’s old equipment, but with online marketplaces, parents are now able to sell on those hardly worn baby clothes that their children have outgrown so as to put some cash back into their pockets.‎ Businesses have also caught on to the profitability of the sharing economy and are seeking to gain from making use of those underutilized resources. Companies like Airbnb act as a middleman for people to cash in on their unused rooms and houses and let them out as profitable accommodation. Another example is Uber, which encourages people to use their own personal cars as taxis to make some extra cash in their free time.‎ This move towards a sharing economy is not without criticisms. Unlike businesses, unregulated individuals do not have to follow certain regulations and this can lead to poorer and inconsistent quality of goods and services and a higher risk of fraud. Nevertheless, in the consumerist society we live in today, the increased opportunities to sell on our unwanted and underused goods can lead to a lesser impact on our environment.‎ ‎21. Which of these is something that we might underutilize?‎ A. Clothes our babies don' t or can't wear any more B. Thick coat in a cold country C. The latest smartphone D. The storeroom in our house ‎22. It might be a problem for unregulated individuals to sell to others because _____.‎ A. they don’t have a business license B. they have to follow certain regulations C. what they sell might be of a lower quality D. they like to criticize their buyers ‎23. What might be a good title for this article?‎ A. The consumerist society B. The rise of the sharing economy C. Parents who need money D. Why we buy things we don't need B Ageing and robots are more closely related than you might think. Young countries with many children have few robots. Ageing nations have lots. The countries with the largest number of robots per industrial worker include South Korea, Singapore, Germany and Japan, which have some of the oldest work forces in the world.‎ The connection does not merely reflect the fact that young countries tend to be poor and cannot afford fancy machines, which they do not need anyway. It holds good within rich countries, too. Those with relatively few robots compared with the size of their workforce include Britain and France, both of which (by rich-country standards )are ageing slowly.‎ Two recent studies quantify the connection. Daron Acemoglu of MIT and Pascual Restrepo of Boston University show that, between 1993 and 2014, the countries that invested the most in robotics were those that were ageing the fastest measured as a rise in the rate of people over 56 compared with those aged 26-55. The authors posit a rule of thumb a ten-point rise in their ageing rate is associated with 0.9 extra robots per thousand workers.‎ A study from Germany used different measures but reached the same conclusion. They ‎ found that the growth in the number of robots per thousand workers rises twice as fast as the fall in the growth rate of the population (e.g. if population growth falls by 1%, the growth in robot density rises by 2%). Population growth is closely related to age structure.‎ These findings should not be surprising. Robots typically substitute for labour. That is why many people fear that they will destroy jobs. Countries with plenty of young workers do not need labour substitutes. Wages there also tend to be low making automation unprofitable. But ageing creates demand for automation in two ways. First, to prevent output falling as more people retire, machines are necessary to substitute for those who have left the workforce or to enable ageing workers to continue to do physical labour. Second, once people have retired they create markets for new kinds of automation, including robots that help with the medical and other requirements of caring for people who can no longer look after themselves ‎24. What can we infer from the article?‎ A. Young and rich countries want more robots. B. Ageing countries have few robots.‎ C. Robots are needed in young countries. D. Ageing is closely related to robots ‎25. Which of the following best explains" posit "underlined in Paragraph 3?‎ A. Want. B. Assume. C. Remove D. Obey.‎ ‎26. Why does ageing create demand for robots?‎ A. Because retired people have lower wages.‎ B. Because robots are unprofitable in young countries.‎ C. Because robots are substitutes for retired worker.‎ D. Because the retired need the same robots they used before.‎ ‎ C Scientists in Western Australia claim to have made a new discovery—they have found gold in the leaves and twigs of trees. The researchers believe that the trees suck up the gold from deep underground, over 30 metres down. The discovery has been described as the first of its kind in the world. Australian gold exploration companies are pleased because it will make finding gold cheaper. Rather than drilling deep holes to find gold, they have more ways to examine tree leaves and branches. There is only a tiny amount of gold in the leaves. It would take 500 trees to make one gold ring. The gold is found using a special X-ray machine owned by an Australian government agency. A pure X-ray and a powerful microscope scan the leaves and branches.‎ The claim that this is the first time that gold particles(微粒) have been found in living material might not be true, though. Ancient Chinese wisdom understood the connection between plants and the precious stones and minerals underneath them. They used plant life to find minerals and that was thousands of years ago. In the Zhou Dynasty, it was written in a book that a certain plant grew only near deposits of gold. Over the next 2,000 years, Chinese people wrote about different plants and how they grew, showed where minerals and precious stones such as jade, copper, lead, silver and gold were.‎ Even more importantly, in the 1,000s, Su Song described how copper, gold, silver, lead and tin were observed and taken from certain plants. These were amazing scientific discoveries. Meanwhile, this knowledge was unknown in the rest of the world until about 1,600. This was when a British man realised that oak trees grew larger and greener where there was alum(明矾) in the ground. Maybe ancient Chinese has more knowledge to teach modern scientists.‎ ‎27. What can we know from Paragraph 1?‎ A. 500 dead trees can make one gold ring.‎ B. The companies find it hard to find gold.‎ C. Scientist have found gold 30 meters below underground.‎ D. The trees can absorb the gold from deep underground.‎ ‎28. How do scientists find gold in the leaves?‎ A. By using a special X-ray. B. By drilling deep holes.‎ C. By observing the leaves carefully. D. By referring to ancient books.‎ ‎29. Who first discovered that there was connection between plants and minerals?‎ A. Su Song. B. Ancient Chinese people.‎ C. Australian scientists D. A British man.‎ ‎30. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?‎ A. To introduce two great scientists in ancient times.‎ B. To show how ancient people got gold from certain plants.‎ C. To provide more evidence to support the writer’s opinion.‎ D. To prove that ancient Chinese has more knowledge than modern scientists.‎ 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。‎ Switching from childhood to adulthood can be challenging.___31___ Work on not acting like a child by managing your emotions. With a little bit of practice, you will begin to see yourself acting more like an adult than a child ‎● Accept responsibility for your actions.‎ You should take responsibility for your actions, whether they are intentional (故意的) or unintentional.___32___Failing to accept responsibility may seem like a good idea at the time, but in the long term it will not benefit you. For example, if you accidentally back into your neighbor’s car, let them know by writing them a note or knocking on their door. Then, correct your mistake by paying for the damage.‎ ‎● Show people respect.‎ Respect your partner, family members, friends, and strangers.___33___As you grow up and mature, you should understand the concept of respect and why it is important Giving respect will also give you more respect in return.‎ ‎● Develop a way to handle conflict maturely.‎ When you are faced with a conflict, it is important to keep your emotions in check. Control your anger and avoid becoming aggressive. ___34___ Give yourself time to cool down if you are really angry. This will prevent you from saying and doing things that you shouldn't do in the heat of the moment.‎ ‎● Receive feedback (反馈) positively.‎ People learn and grow by receiving feedback and criticism from others. You should accept that you don’t know everything and that feedback from an expert is not meant to hurt you. It is meant to help you. For example, thoroughly read through your edits on your research paper. ___35___‎ A. Children are often selfish and disrespectful.‎ B. It is a sign of maturity and respect for others C. Take on adult responsibilities.‎ D. Oftentimes, you may still feel like a child.‎ E. These edits will help improve your writing in the future.‎ F.

It appears that people have got used to being in a hurry. However, it’s better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done. ‎ The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrongs in a rush. When people do their jobs or take action in a hurry, they can’t make a sound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes, ‘Haste makes waste.’ We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly. ‎ Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. For example, taking a train to some place certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary, being in a hurry will make us lose chances of enjoying our lives. ‎ Finally, slower life pace provides better health conditions for us. As is known to all, taking action in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in a hurry, they will become a loser and that annoys them. But being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally. According to some studies, people who have a slower pace suffer fewer diseases, tend to be happier and live much longer than those whose life is tense, even if the former finish jobs more slowly than the latter. ‎ In short, working quickly will bring about more material benefits to make our society more advanced. Yet, much stress can’t bring enjoyment, friends and health, which are much more important than money and other material advantages. Therefore, take your time and live your life at a slower pace.‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 衡阳市八中2019级高一第3次月考试题 ‎ 英语答案 听力 1-5 BCBCB 6-10 CAACA 11-15 CABCA 16-20 CCBAB 阅读理解 21-23 ACB 24-26 DBC 27-30 DABC ‎ 七选五 31-35 DBAGE 完型填空 36-40 ACBDA 41-45 BBCDA 46-50 DCBAA 51-55DCBAB 语法填空 ‎56.better 57. has suggested 58. competitor 59.
