高三上学期第十周英语周测 第一节 阅读理解（每小题2分，共20小题，满分40分） ‎ A Have you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes? You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal patterns that get in your way.‎ To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers’ gardens with some shedding tears of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.‎ Our internal patterns decide whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you don’t realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame the external situations in your life. Most people aren’t taught that emotion is a choice. And they aren’t taught how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world.‎ ‎1．Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1 ?‎ A．To lead to the topic of this passage.‎ B．To complain about imperfect life.‎ C．To show common problems in life.‎ ‎2．How does the author prove his opinion?‎ A．By giving examples. B．By doing an experiment.‎ C．By telling a related story. D．By comparing other people’s opinions.‎ ‎3．What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?‎ A．To step out of negative emotions.‎ B．To pay attention to our internal world.‎ C．To share our real emotions with others.‎ D．To use different methods to change bad emotions.‎ ‎4．What does the author want to express through the passage?‎ A．Our external world matters a lot.‎ B．Our emotions can affect our health.‎ C．Our internal patterns truly decide our emotions.‎ D．Our experiences have a great influence on our emotions.‎ B When Gitanjali Rao shared how she likes “finding solutions to real problems”, it was hard to imagine this dynamic 11-year-old girl could settle a problem that has escaped scientists for years.‎ In just three months, Rao came up with a device（装置）that can replace the costly and lengthy ‎ tests currently used to reliably determine lead levels in our fresh water. Inspired ‎ by the current litigation （诉讼）in Flint, Michigan, a case of water pollution from 2014 to 2015, Rao designed a new testing system that resulted in her being named America’s Top Young Scientist for 2017.‎ Rao had been following the water problem for about two years. She was amazed by the number of people affected by lead pollution in water and wanted to do something to change this. Gitanjali spent months trying to convince local high schools and colleges to give her lab time to continue her experiment. At home, Gitanjali worked on her project in the “science room” she asked her parents to create for her. Rao has created a device that uses three parts: a cartridge, a Bluetooth reader and an app. To put it simply, the cartridge contains carbon nanotubes（纳米管）that react to lead. This reaction is then registered by the Bluetooth reader, which sends a signal to a mobile app that can tell you immediately if your water is safe to drink.‎ Rao appropriately named the device Tethys after the Greek goddess of fresh water, and is hoping to make a little improvement to get the device on the market. While we may not be aware of any lead pollution present in our aging pipelines, lead poisoning can cause delays in physical and mental development. With Rao believing that the “purpose of science is to make a difference”, her incredible invention could make a difference to millions of people in the United States.‎ ‎5. What do we know about Rao’s device?‎ A. It’s cheap and quick. B. It’s cheap and inaccurate.‎ C. It’s expensive and reliable. D. It’s portable and time-consuming.‎ ‎6. What made Rao have the idea of designing the device?‎ A. Her parents’ suggestions. B. The name of the Greek ‎ goddess.‎ C. Her interest in settling real problems. D. The water pollution litigation in Flint.‎ ‎7. What do the carbon nanotubes function as? ‎ A. Sending immediate signals. B. Recording the reaction results. ‎ C. Detecting the presence of lead. D. Showing the water quality results.‎ ‎8. What does the author think of Rao’s invention?‎ A. It will lead Rao to make a fortune.‎ B. It will help millions of Americans drink safe water.‎ C. It will promote the development of science in America. ‎ D. It will soon settle the lead-polluted problem thoroughly.‎ C Imagine jet-setting from Tokyo to Paris, enjoying first-class travel, a four-course dinner and a city tour－all without leaving the ground. This is the future of air travel according to Japanese company First Airlines, which has used the power of virtual reality to create dream vacations.‎ Passengers avoid the costly airport transfer, the baggage fees or busy airport terminal（航站楼）－and instead enjoy the privileges of business or first-class travel and an expensive tour of Paris－all while remaining motionless in Tokyo. As well as Paris, First Airlines also offers the virtual destinations of New York, Rome and Hawaii.‎ After boarding, guests can settle down for the two-hour flight on their advanced Airbus seat－surrounded by decoration that is modeled on the inside of an aircraft, for maximum realism. There is flight service and VR, foods, music for every destination. Passengers will be served a delicious meal by air stewards, alongside drinks and other desserts. The menu depends on the destination of choice－Manhattan clam chowder and cheesecake for New York and salmon tartar and onion soup for Paris. After landing at the destination, guests can enjoy a 360-degree tour of the destination－all thanks to projection（投影）mapping and video.‎ It makes for a supposedly stress-free vacation, perfect for those whose ability to travel abroad is limited by cost or health. Virtual reality is becoming increasingly present everywhere at all times in the world of travel--allowing travelers to appreciate the wonders of the world, all without leaving their house.‎ At just 4,980 yen（$ 46）for business class and 5,980 yen（$ 56）for first class－these two- hour flights are far more affordable than their real-life flights. Tokyo citizens eager to experience First Airlines can book a trip on the website, with reservations currently being taken until May 2018.‎ ‎9. What can we learn about the future of air travel from Tokyo to Paris?‎ A. It is high-flying. B. It is money-saving.‎ C. It is power-wasting. D. It is time-consuming.‎ ‎10. When can passengers enjoy the beauty of the destination?‎ A. Upon arrival. B. During the flight.‎ C. After boarding the plane. D. On getting off the plane.‎ ‎11. The flight is perfect for travelers who .‎ A. do little physical exercise B. work under great pressure C. desire to travel a long distance D. have health or money troubles ‎12. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. A Scientific Fantasy B. The Power of Virtual Reality C. Japan’s Virtual Air Travel Abroad D. Appreciation of the Global Wonders D As the parent of a 7-year-old boy, sometimes I feel like “no” is my most frequently said word. But if I look honestly at the big picture of my daily vocabulary, I probably would conclude that it actually contains too much “yes”. Saying yes means opening myself up to new experiences, inviting new or deeper relationships. But too much “yes” leaves any of us feeling anxious, overcommitted（过分受约束的）and powerless to set and maintain boundaries in our lives.‎ This had been on my mind when The Book of No: 365 Ways to Say It and Mean It－and Stop People-PleasingForever came across my desk. The new edition of this decade-old book by psychologist Susan Newman is a must-read book for those of us who struggle to say “no” with authenticity, confidence and kindness.‎ Newman calls people who feel forced to say yes all their way through life ‎ ‎“people-pleasers”. The chief symptoms of this condition include associating helping others with your self-respect, holding expectations that you will care for others and feeling unwilling to state your own needs when a request comes your way. For people-pleasers, “yes is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker,” Newman writes.The book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no” is the right answer, for reasons ranging from time management to financial pressures to emotional boundaries. Newman considers what came about among friends, at work, within families and in parenting. Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in common－things that immediately started helping me improve my “no” skills.‎ Do you think this book might be helpful to you? It’s OK if the answer is “no”, but I do highly recommend it for your Positive Reading List shelf.‎ ‎13. Why does the author include his own personal experience in Paragraph 1?‎ A. To blame himself. B. To show how to guide kids.‎ ‎ C. To tell his likes and dislikes. D. To help recommend a book.‎ ‎14. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? ‎ A. How to deal with a request.‎ B. Why askers turn to others for a favor.‎ C. Why people-pleasers say “yes” too often.‎ D. How to strengthen relationships with askers.‎ ‎15. What does the underlined word “scenarios” probably mean?‎ A. Occasions. B. Processes. C. Adventures. D.‎ ‎ Stories.‎ ‎16. What does the author advise us to do?‎ ‎ A. Give no response to any demand.‎ B. Learn to say “no” in a positive way.‎ C. Keep open all channels of communication.‎ D. Say “yes” constantly without feeling guilty.‎ E ‎ Maths and Music An excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician． Tell others you are also a musician， however， and they will be hooked． Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity， there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in．‎ I'm partly referring here to the "Mozart effect"， where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent， including at maths， than other children． It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular： we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort． But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest． If you want your brain to work better， you clearly have to put in hard work． As for learning to play the piano， it also takes effort．‎ Surely a connection is quite reasonable． Both maths and music deal with abstract structures， so if you become good at one， then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other． If this is correct， it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability． It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis． To become better at one， you need to improve your fitness and coordination （协调）． That makes you ‎ better at sport and probably helps with the other．‎ Abstract structures don't exist only in maths and music． If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar． Yet we don't hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic ability． Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical， so it wouldn't be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar． Music， however， is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it． As such， it seems different from maths， so there wouldn't be any connection between the two．‎ Let's see how we solve problems of the "A is to B as C is to D" kind． These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths． Consider the opening of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik． The second phrase is a clear answer to the first． The listener thinks： "The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord （和弦）； what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7？" Music is full of puzzles like this． If you are good at them， expectations will constantly be set up in your mind． The best moments surprise you by being unexpected， but we need the expectations in the first place．‎ ‎17．What does the author say about "Mozart effect"？ ______‎ A．The goal of it was not carefully thought about．‎ B．The findings from it gave people wrong information．‎ C．The interest people showed in it was unexpected．‎ D．The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective．‎ ‎18．The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3to show that ______ ．‎ A．football and tennis are played in a similar way．‎ B．certain skills may be developed through practice．‎ C．music and maths have something in common．‎ D．abstract structures bring benefits to various fields．‎ ‎19．We can infer from Paragraph 4that ______ ．‎ A．language seems more like maths than music does．‎ B．language is less appealing to learners．‎ C．mathematicians are good at music learning．‎ D．the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music．‎ ‎20．What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph？ ______‎ A．How music differs from maths．‎ B．Why musicians possess mathematical abilities．‎ C．Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians．‎ D．How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths．‎ 第二节 七选五阅读（每小题 2 分，共5小题，满分 10 分） ‎ As is often the case, when we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often make a decision: “I’m going to bed earlier tomorrow!” we are so determined. 21 We are still absorbed in what we are doing without realizing it is already too late the next day. This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination” (睡眠拖延症), and results from lack of self-control and our body clock.‎ ‎ 22 According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime because they couldn’t stop doing other trivial things (琐事), which were keeping them up in the first place.‎ People who generally have trouble resisting temptations (诱惑) and following ‎ their intentions firmly are also more likely to delay going to bed. They find it hard to control themselves. 23 Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime. Those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning. Night owls would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. 24 ‎ Therefore, if we want to cure our bedtime procrastination, the intention to go to bed earlier is not enough. 25 We should have a clear understanding that bedtime procrastination is a big problem. The choices we make could turn out to be pretty important for our health. A. Bedtime procrastination is a common problem. B. It will have extreme effect on our health sooner or later. C. Yet, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame. D. Unfortunately, chances are that we don’t stick to our promise. E. It’s their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime. F. Biological processes need to support this intention. G. So we just need to take action to change our sleep model.‎ 第三节 完形填空（每小题 1.5 分，满分30分）‎ Experts say boredom is good for kids.
