武威六中2021届高三一轮复习过关考试（二）‎ 英 语 ‎ ‎（考试时间：100分钟 满分：120分）‎ 第一部分 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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。‎ A The Best and Worst Things to Buy in March Frozen food Grocery store ads aren't the only places to find deals on freezer-section treats. To take advantage of the deepest discounts, combine coupons (优惠券) from sponsoring brands, such as Dole, Green Giant and Tyson Foods, with grocery store sales. Plus, look for printable savings on Coupons. com and EasyHoreMeals.com. Brands participating in National Frozen Food Month will offer more than 180, 000 coupons that make frozen food among the best things to buy in March.‎ Boxed chocolates If you desire to give a gift to a friend in March, consider chocolate. Two minor holidays in March provide the perfect excuse: National Chocolate Caramel Day on March 19 and National Chocolate-Covered Raisin Day on March 24. You can discover chocolate deals online as well as in stores. Head to sites like RetailMeNot.com to find discount coupons for boxed chocolate savings of 10 percent or more.‎ New cars With the latest car models filling dealers' lots, you'll have a hard time finding discounted models from the year before. Car dealerships are less motivated to offer steep discounts from March through May. Instead, plan to buy your car during the fall or winter. You should also research the auto you want at TrueCar before heading for the dealership. The site offers information on how much the previous buyers paid for the vehicles you want.‎ Spring clothing When warm weather makes you want to head outdoors, resist the urge to do so wearing the latest fashions. You won't find March deals on swimsuits, Easter dresses or other spring items. To find discounts on clothes of this spring, hold off until Memorial Day weekend. You can also ‎ look for online and in-store savings at Amazon, Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue and other retailers.‎ ‎1．Which things offer discounts in March?‎ ‎ A．Frozen food and new cars B．Boxed chocolates and new cars.‎ ‎ C．Frozen food and boxed chocolates. D．Boxed chocolates and spring clothing.‎ ‎2．What are the vehicle buyers advised to do?‎ ‎ A．Register on a site in advance. B．Get discounts from car dealers.‎ ‎ C．Consult some previous buyers. D．Make purchases at the right time.‎ ‎3．Where is the passage most likely from?‎ ‎ A．A journal B．A guidebook C．A catalogue D．An advertisement B Staying connected When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close because of the fear of novel corona-virus(冠状病毒) exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.‎ But still, the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring.‎ ‎“I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,” Chen said.‎ The corona-virus has changed everyone’s lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly serious. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were put off. Summer plans, such as camps, are up in the air.‎ But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, struggling with false information, and finding out the best ways they can help – through online method.‎ For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, the best way to help was to create a “social distancing promise” for young people.‎ ‎“I saw a lot of young people not paying attention,” he said. “They were … still going out, hanging out with others. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger people, who were possibly not watching the news.”‎ Harycki started a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that followed and kept the locations of people who’d signed the promise. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.‎ Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can’t connected with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing promise to strengthen that although everyone might be physically distant, they’re still connected.‎ ‎“Part of what we’re showing is that you might feel like you’re the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you’re not alone,” he said.‎ ‎4．What does the underlined word “jarring” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ ‎ A．natural B．necessary C．worrying D．reasonable ‎5．Who does Harycki mainly want to reach?‎ ‎ A．Friends who are worried and bored. B．Young people not aware of the situation.‎ ‎ C．Younger students trying to help. D．People taking the corona-virus seriously．‎ ‎6．What’s Harycki’s purpose in creating the “social distancing promise”?‎ ‎ A．To order young people to stay at home.‎ ‎ B．To follow those infected with the corona-virus.‎ ‎ C．To tell young folks of latest news about the corona-virus.‎ ‎ D．To show young people that they are still connected.‎ ‎7．Why does the author describe Andrew Chen’s experience in the text?‎ ‎ A．To explain what worried students most when schools closed.‎ ‎ B．To show the different views of students toward the corona-virus.‎ ‎ C．To show how the corona-virus affected students’ lives.‎ ‎ D．To explain the proper reaction to the close of school.‎ C According to the Study Abroad Trend Report for 2018, conducted by Chinese education website Eol. cn, the number of Chinese students who study abroad to gain a bachelor’s degree or below is rising, and the current group of Chinese overseas students is younger than those in the past years.‎ Du Xiying, a Beijing-based study-abroad agent, has first-hand experience working with this younger crop of students. “When I started this job some 10 years ago, almost all cases were filed by college graduates trying to apply for a master's degree in the US, UK, Australia and Canada,” said Du. “Now quite a number of my clients are high school graduates, and my company even employed some experienced consultants to satisfy the increasing need of college-bound Chinese students.” However, in the eyes of Du, most of them are not ready to put themselves in a completely different context at such a young age. Although there are no statistics available, according to Du’s observations, college-bound high school graduates from China fall into two groups. There is a group of students from well-off families, with good grades and excellent command of English, and there is another group who did not do very well in their college entrance exams, so they seek to study abroad as a solution to their troubles. “In recent years, with the financial ability of Chinese families growing with the country's ‎ development, buying into college is very common,” said Du.‎ Complaints come from both destination schools in the US and parents of students. Going abroad at a young age needs a great deal of discipline(自律),and college students don't usually live at home-stays so they are free from management. A considerable quantity of students have ended with being dismissed(开除).‎ As to the dismissal issue, Du said it’s inevitable due to the large number of students crowding abroad. It’s just not easy to ensure quality. But she does think both students and parents should be responsible for their own investment of both time and money. “The worst case is that a family throws out 1 million yuan for their child to come home with nothing, not even fluent English,”said Du.‎ ‎8．What change is mentioned in paragraph 1 and paragraph 2?‎ ‎ A．The age of Chinese students studying abroad is getting younger.‎ ‎ B．More Chinese students studying abroad are getting a master’s degree.‎ ‎ C．Excellent students prefer studying abroad to taking college entrance exams.‎ ‎ D．Chinese students’ grades are improving due to professional consultants’ help.‎ ‎9．Which opinion does Du probably agree with?‎ ‎ A．Most young students are qualified to study abroad.‎ ‎ B．Buying into schools could be a good solution to students’ problems.‎ ‎ C．Destination schools should be responsible for the management of students.‎ ‎ D．Parents and students should be cautious about the decision to study abroad.‎ ‎10．Why do some students fail in their oversea study?‎ ‎ A．They are not financially supported.‎ ‎ B．They are rejected by destination schools.‎ ‎ C．They can't live up to their parents’ expectations.‎ ‎ D．They can't live and study abroad independently.‎ ‎11．What does the underlined word “inevitable” in paragraph 4 mean?‎ ‎ A．Can’t be avoided. B．Can’t be ignored.‎ ‎ C．Can’t be realized. D．Can’t be predicted.‎ D At 9: 30 am. on a Wednesday morning, I received a notification (通知) that I’d already picked up my phone 30 times that day! “11 left until you go over your goal of 41 pickups,” my screen read. “Put your phone down until 9: 52 a. m. ! Enjoy your time living in the moment.”‎ These updates were sent via Moment, an app that tracks my screen time, created by Kevin Holesh in 2014 to fight his own device addiction. He was working as an independent app ‎ developer, spending hours each day staring at screens. After work, Holesh found that he was looking mindlessly online instead of talking to his wife or taking his dogs for a walk.‎ ‎“I wanted a way of seeing how much time I was sinking into my phone,” he said. “So I came up with something that could monitor my screen time.” Holesh found that he was spending 75 minutes on his phone a day. He added a function to the app that informed him whenever his screen time was more than 40 minutes. “My phone would make a sound like a bee, and I’d go and do something else. It was like a little angel on my shoulder pushing me in the right direction,” he said. Holesh figured that if the system worked for him, it would work for others, and later that year he made Moment a free app. To date, it has been downloaded 8 million times.‎ Besides, Moment also has a “coach” function, offering guided programs to help users focus and be more productive, for $ 7. 99 a month.‎ ‎“I am so much happier, I sleep better, I read more, I take better care of myself, and most of all I am present in my day-to-day life,” Jack, a user said. Similar comments on Moment reflect a growing consciousness around “digital wellness”, the name given to lifestyle practices that encourage healthy device use.‎ ‎12． What does the inspiration of Moment come from?‎ ‎ A．The creator’s own experience. B．The sound made by honey bees.‎ ‎ C．Complaints from family members. D．The widespread digital addiction.‎ ‎13．What does Moment do at the expected screen time?‎ ‎ A．Monitor the screen and keep a record. B．Make a noise to remind the user.‎ ‎ C．Turn off the phone immediately. D．Force the user to take a rest.‎ ‎14． What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4?‎ ‎ A． Persuade readers to buy the app. B． Provide readers with some advice.‎ ‎ C． Recommend a coach to the readers. D． Introduce more information of the app.‎ ‎15． In which part of a website will you find this text?‎ ‎ A．Fashion and Business. B．Sports and Entertainment.‎ ‎ C．Health and Lifestyle. D．Art and Design.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ We certainly look different. The most obvious differences between boys and girls are our bodies, inside and out. For example, can men have babies? Can women grow beards? ___16___‎ In the 1800s, scientists developed a theory called craniology (头骨学), which said that intelligence could be measured by skull size. Men have bigger skulls than women. So men must ‎ be smarter, people thought. ___17___ No one encouraged them to go on in school. Some doctors even said women who went to college would no longer be able to have children! Of course, now we know these beliefs aren’t true.‎ In the 1950s, psychologists gave girls and boys science tests to see if they could tell who was smarter. On average, the girls did worse than the boys. ___18___ But is this really true? Instead of measuring natural ability, maybe the tests revealed something about the conditions under which children were being taught. Parents and teachers didn't expect girls to do well in math or science，and so they didn’t encourage them. In class, teachers focused their attention on boys. ___19___‎ As scientists continue to investigate, they have discovered that boys do seem to be better than girls at something called spatial rotation (空间转动）. Girls，on the other hand, do better on some tests of vocabulary and language. Why? ___20___ They often give girls dolls to play with, while they more frequently give boys blocks. Playing with blocks helps children develop spatial skills. So without meaning to, adults might be helping boys develop better spatial skills. And maybe they talk to girls more, which helps girls with those vocabulary words.‎ ‎ A．But how different are we really?‎ ‎ B．Therefore, women were treated differently.‎ ‎ C．This influenced how well boys learned and how poorly girls did.‎ ‎ D．If our bodies differ, what does that say about our intelligence and skills?‎ ‎ E．Naturally，researchers concluded that boys are smarter than girls in science.‎ ‎ F．Studies have shown that parents treat boys and girls differently as soon as they’re born.‎ ‎ G．According to psychologists, girls were less intelligent than boys in many aspects.‎ 第二部分：英语知识运用（共三节 满分50分）‎ 第一节:完形填空 (共20小题,每小题1.5分, 满分30分) ‎ 阅读下面短文｡从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A､B､C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑｡‎ Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the 21 of never having to say those words. The two words 22 regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and 23 . And sometimes the words “if only” go with 24 disasters. Think about how many times you have heard about something awful happening, 25 by "if only he had called her back to make sure she was okay.” or“if only I had 26 that noise...” ‎ My father-in-law is 27 in our family for saying, “ 28 an extra minute to do it right. ” He must be doing something 29 , since he is 91 years old and still doing things right.‎ I always 30 to live by the “extra minute” rule. Sometimes it only takes seconds to make sure I write the words down 31 , or check some information on the Internet, or move an object ‎ ‎ 32 before it trips（绊倒） someone.‎ And of course when my children were young and 33 to cause all kinds of troubles, I lived and stuck to the “extra minute” 34 . I always thought about what I could do to 35 an“if only” moment, whether it was something simple like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(衬垫) onto the 36 corners of a glass table.‎ I know there will still be 37 when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is surely more peaceful because of my principle of doing everything possible to avoid that 38 . And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to 39 a personal connection, I know that by doing the right thing, I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's the best kind of 40 for my emotional health.‎ ‎21．A．result B．luck C．goal D．role ‎22．A．convey B．handle C．experience D．raise ‎23．A．preparation B．disappointment C．adaptation D．amazement ‎24．A．harmful B．shameful C．handful D．terrible ‎25．A．followed B．treated C．contributed D．inspired ‎26．A．heard B．ignored C．examined D．shut ‎27．A．acceptable B．respectable C．sensitive D．negative ‎28．A．Require B．Demand C．Charge D．Spend ‎29．A．wise B．familiar C．rare D．passive ‎30．A．promise B．attempt C．afford D．hesitate ‎31．A．frequently B．normally C．accurately D．fluently ‎32．A．in a way B．by the way C．on the way D．in the way ‎33．A．probable B．likely C．average D．ordinary ‎34．A．signal B．theory C．notice D．principle ‎35．A．prevent B．reflect C．admit D．regret ‎36．A．narrow B．dusty C．sharp D．wide ‎37．A．locations B．conditions C．occasions D．events ‎38．A．record B．ending C．plot D．memory ‎39．A．keep B．remind C．transform D．deliver ‎40．A．program B．bargain C．purpose D．insurance 第二节:语法填空(共10小题,每题1分,共10分)‎ 阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式｡‎ The United States has a wide ___41___ (various) of institutions that provide higher ‎ education.

The most obvious difference is the price. Public universities are ___45___ (expensive) than private universities. Private universities can cost well over $100,000 for a four-year degree. But compared to public universities, private universities tend to be more geographically “diverse”, ___46___ (draw) students from many different states as well as other countries because the tuition is ___47___ same price for students regardless of whether or not they live in the state ___48___ the university is located.‎ There are many ___49___ (high) reputable private and public universities throughout America.
