We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.‎ By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My highschool coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).‎ One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.‎ Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing. I was dreading (害怕) this, but my mother said: “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”‎ When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can't afford to waste them,” he said.‎ I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why I dreamed of buying my mom a house.‎ ‎“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.‎ ‎“Three twentyfive an hour,” I replied.‎ ‎“Well，” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”‎ That question laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookieleague ball, and offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.‎ ‎21．The writer was grateful to Coach Jarvis, because Jarvis ________.‎ A．made him set a goal B．supplied him with new clothes C．gave him financial support D．helped him show conviction ‎22．When the boy was offered a job, he wanted to ________.‎ A．balance summer baseball and the work schedule B．refuse the job offer for summer baseball C．give up summer baseball for the job D．ask his coach Jarvis for advice ‎23．Which of the following can replace “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”?‎ A．You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.‎ B．Believe in yourself, but above all be patient.‎ C．You must rely on yourself first, then others.‎ D．A good beginning makes a good ending.‎ ‎24．The end of the story was that the writer ________.‎ A．failed to buy his mother a house B．succeeded as a sportsman C．became a successful businessman D．made some money in the summer job B Sudoku (数独) puzzles give your brain a hard time: Every number from 1 to 9 must appear in each of the nine horizontal (横向的) rows, in each of the nine vertical columns and in each of the nine boxes.‎ ‎ For many of us, this can be a reason for a headache, but in the very rare case of a German man, a Sudoku puzzle even caused seizures (痉挛).‎ ‎ In a new case study from the University of Munich, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Berend Feddersen introduces a student who was 25 years old when he was buried by a snow slide during a ski tour. For 15 minutes, he didn't get enough oxygen, which severely damaged certain parts of his brain. " He had to receive treatment on the scene. Luckily he survived," says Feddersen, the author of the study.‎ ‎ Weeks after the accident, when the young man was ready for recovery treatment, something bizarre happened: When the patient solved Sudoku puzzles, he suddenly had seizures of his left arm—something the medical world hadn't seen before.‎ ‎ Feddersen explains: "In order to solve a Sudoku, the patient used parts of his brain which are responsible for vision-space tasks. But exactly those brain parts had been damaged in the accident and then caused the seizures once they were used."‎ ‎ This particular case is an example of what doctors call reflex epilepsy (反射性癫痫), according to Dr. Jacqueline French, professor from NYU Langone School of Medicine.‎ ‎ "You have to have an injury of your brain first, and then seizures like that can happen," she says.‎ ‎ In the meantime, the patient from the case study stopped solving Sudoku puzzles forever and has been seizure-free for more than five years. " Fortunately, he can do crossword puzzles. He never had problems with those," Feddersen says.‎ ‎25. In the accident, the student 　　.‎ A．began to experience seizures in his left arm B．got the vision-space part of his brain damaged C．had to be sent to hospital as soon as possible D．found his Sudoku ability seriously weakened ‎26. It can be learned from the text that 　　.‎ A．the man cannot complete crossword puzzles now B．it is Sudoku playing that brings about his seizures C．the man's symptoms are common and widely observed D．the seizures cause much trouble to the man's daily life ‎27. This text can be best described as　　.‎ A． a medical test B． a warning to skiers C． a news report D． a research paper C A robot called Bina48 has successfully taken a course in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), in California.‎ According to course instructor William Barry, associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is the world’s first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he described as “remarkable.” The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.‎ Before becoming a student, Bina48 appeared as a guest speaker in Barry’s classes for several years. One day when addressing Barry’s class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go to college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course, Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesn’t understand, said Barry. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is.‎ ‎“Some interesting things happened in the class,” said Barry. He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is “fairly simple — it’s a feeling,” said Barry. But the reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love,” said Barry, highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working with artificial intelligence in future.‎ Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class ‎ debate about love and conflict with students from West Point. Bina48’s contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.‎ In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely.‎ ‎28. What was Bina48’s performance like in class?‎ A. Unattractive. B. Insignificant. C. Far-reaching. D. Extraordinary.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “addressing” in paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A. Giving a speech to. B. Consulting with.‎ C. Dealing with. D. Sending a letter to.‎ ‎30. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. It was interesting for Bina48 to learn about love.‎ B. It was quite tough for Bina48 to learn about love.‎ C. Humans can launch a challenge to artificial intelligence.‎ D. Artificial intelligence may somehow be superior to man.‎ ‎31. What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48?‎ A. It will surely be able to serve as a teacher.‎ B. It will completely take the place of instructors.‎ C. It will be able to promote learning and teaching.‎ D. It will be smart enough to control human beings.‎ D When Carson Palmer, a professional American football player, hurt his arm a few years ago, he took a week off from throwing the football. But in his head, Palme practiced every day. The following weekend, Palmer had the best game of his life.‎ For more than a century, scientists have been trying to understand how this mental training works. In the 1930s, researchers proved by experiment that when you're imagining an action, your brain sends signals to your muscles which are too weak to tighten the muscles but might help train the body to perform. In other words, mental practice might create a pattern in your head, like an inner how-to guide for a particular ‎ skill.‎ Sports psychologists have conducted hundreds of studies comparing imagined and physical practice for actions. On the whole, the research shows that mental training works. A 2012 study, for example, compared 32 amateur golfers who practiced hitting the balls to another 32 who merely held a golf club in their hands and visualized (想象) their swings.‎ Under the same training rules, both groups improved their skills by getting the ball about 4 inches closer to the hole.‎ Visualization has advantages over the real thing: You can do it anywhere, even when injured. It is safe—a major plus for high-risk performers such as gymnasts and surgeons. And you can practice for longer periods of time because you're not restricted by physical tiredness. That’s not to say it's easy, we've had Olympic-level athletes sitting in our lab, visualizing the movements for two hours," says Tadhg Macintyre, a sports psychologist at the University of Limerick in Ireland. “When we're done, they’re absolutely tired.”‎ It doesn’t work for everyone, though. "If you're a novice, the effect can be harmful,” warns Macintyre. If you're trying to visualize a free throw, and you don't even know the proper movement, then you're probably going to mentally practice the wrong skill.”a ‎32. The author introduces the topic of the text by_ .‎ A. giving an example B. presenting an argument C. explaining a phenomenon D. making an assumption ‎33. What happens when one is visualizing an action?‎ A. A special skill is quickly acquired. B. A certain model is formed in the head C. The muscles grow increasingly tense. D. The brain sends strong messages to the body.‎ ‎34. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. Athletes are likely to win games through imagined practice.‎ B. Practicing a skill properly in mind can produce intended effect.‎ C. Practice whether mental or physical has its own characteristics.‎ D. Scientists have found a sale way for athletes to practice their skills.‎ 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。‎ The idea that I would be rewarded if I worked hard enough was deeply rooted in me. So I spent long hours in the lab, steadily filled pages in my notebook, and was praised for my hard work. ‎ When my experiments didn’t produce the exciting results they were expected to, I thought I just needed to work more. 35.__________ I didn’t know what to do. It was late in the evening. One other person was still in the lab: A postdoc(博士后), who noticed my situation, came over and gently asked how I was doing. I told him about my struggles with the experiment and that I felt like a failure. 36. __________ After we talked through the experiment, the postdoc said, “I think it’s time to go home and get some sleep.” He added with a smile, “Taking a break is also hard work, you know?”‎ Those comments planted the seed of a new approach: novel ideas do not come from a mind constantly under pressure. My best ideas and “aha” moments almost always come after I allow my mind to relax—whether that’s playing video games with my brother, cooking a nice dinner, or going on long hikes with my wife. 37. __________ ‎ Today, a decade after that eye-opening evening in the lab, I try to pass this mindset on to my own students. Not too long ago, in the lab one night, I walked by one of my students. I gently asked how she was doing. With a defeated look, she responded that the plan for the experiment refused to work, again, despite many attempts. I couldn’t help but see myself all those years ago. 38. __________ I asked her why we do what we do. Often it comes down to pursuing curiosity and passion. How can we foster that spirit? 39. __________ Work-life balance is not a harmful thing to excellent research, or an optional bonus, but a fundamental part of it.‎ A. So I worked even harder, ignoring the result. ‎ B. Part of working smarter, I realized, can be taking a break. ‎ C. The answer does not include working ourselves to exhaustion.‎ D. By striking a balance between working hard and getting some sleep. ‎ E. I didn’t tell him that I was also wondering what was wrong with me.‎ F. Yet here I was, working harder than ever—but not getting anywhere. ‎ G. We talked for a while about academic life and what it means to be a researcher.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节, 满分35分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（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。‎ I was really nervous this year because I was in a new class.

By the age of 19, Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be exactly like him. So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited!‎ After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies, and began our great ‎ adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening. On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester worked.‎ Finally, after a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting. Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest, he started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches. For supper we feasted on freeze-dried beef, wild rice and pea soup. I ate greedily after all that work.‎ Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day. We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up; the temperature dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log (原木) from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire. Then he wrapped aluminum foil ( 铝箔) around the log. The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent. Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.优题速享 The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire. I was abruptly awakened by Steve. Our tent was on fire. Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed with Steve inside. Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake. Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt.‎ 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；‎ ‎2. 至少使用 5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎2017级高三上学期期中考试英语试题答案 ‎1-5 ACACB 6-10 ACCBB 11-15 BAACB 16-20 ACABC ‎21—24 DCAB 25—27 BBC 28—31 DADC 32—34 ABB ‎35—39 FEBGD ‎40—44 DACDB 45—49 ACBCA 50—54 DBCBA 55—59 ADBCD 语法填空 ‎60. lies 61. that 62. at 63. scheduled 64. greener ‎ ‎65. taking 66. have been chosen 67. which 68. its 69. importance 应用文 Dear Jack，‎ ‎ I am more than delighted to learn that you are to spend some time in China．（表达高兴）‎ I recommend you stay in Beijing， the capital and cultural center of China．（你推荐的城市） The city enjoys a high reputation for its abundance of ancient architecture, which represents the traditional local lifestyles．【高分句型一】 And there are also plenty of museums where precious relics of historical interest are waiting for you to explore．【高分句型二】 Besides, the exceptional Peking Opera performances there are also what you can't miss．（推荐的理由）‎ ‎ I wish you a very happy and meaningful time in China!

Our campsite was in the deep of the forest, really far away from the highway. ‎ We were in the middle of nowhere, wearing only underwear, with our supplies burnt into ashes, including our cellphones. Even Steve was unsure what to do next. The only thing we could do was just sitting in the cold air and wondering how to get out of the forest.‎ Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. Anxiously we listened and stared into the darkness. A jeep appeared. A forester had spotted the light from the fire and had come to have a check. We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents. Steve and I had many more camping adventures from then on, but it was on this trip that Steve began to treat me more like a friend and equal, rather than a younger cousin. Our friendship continues to this day.‎ 部分答案解析： ‎ ‎25.

(2)‎ Text 3‎ W: I want to sell this old refrigerator. How much do you think I can get for it? I bought it for $800 five years ago. (3) It works really well, except for the broken shelf.‎ M: If the shelf weren’t broken, I’d say you could get $300. But you’ll probably only get about $150. ‎ Text 4‎ M: My wife and I are planning on driving from California to Canada for a few weeks. (4) ‎ W: That’s exciting. My husband and I took a car trip from New York to Canada a few years ago. It was a lot of fun.‎ Text 5‎ W: All the plants in my garden died! I don’t know what happened. I watered them a lot and fed them plant food. What did I do wrong?‎ M: Maybe the garden wasn’t in enough sun. You did plant it on the side of the house that gets the most shade. (5)‎ Text 6‎ M: Marissa, if your papers continue to be late, I will have to give you a failing grade for the course. ‎ W: I’m sorry! (6) I’ve been having a really hard semester. ‎ M: You need to try a little harder, okay?‎ W: I know, I will. There’s just been a lot going on lately.

The national weather map shows a high-pressure area all along the eastern coastline, which will bring them very pleasant, sunny weather from New York to Florida. But showers and thunderstorms are happening from the Ohio River all the way south to the Gulf coast, pouring down heavy amounts of rain over the Southern states. (18) By far the worst of the storms has happened in and around Texas. Some Texas stations have reported up to fifteen inches of rain in a 24-hour period with high winds and thunderstorms. Two typhoons were reported along the Gulf coast of Texas, but we haven’t got the exact information about any damage or injuries. Heavy amounts of snow were reported in the Rocky Mountain area with record cold temperatures in Denver and Boulder. As much as a foot of snow has fallen in some of the mountain stations. In contrast, temperatures in Arizona and the desert Southwest went over the 100-degree mark again under bright, sunny skies. (19)‎
