According to Chris Barnes, his wife Cassie took the photo while she was on her lunch break. She saw the pair sharing a pizza and soft drink while they were having a friendly chat. Mr. Barnes uploaded the image with the notes: “Cassie was out on her lunch break and observed the officer enjoying lunch with a homeless person.” Officer Rivers recalled seeing the woman earlier that day. He told Yahoo news: “I was leaving the parking lot of Walmart and she was standing by the stop sign. Her shirt read, ‘Homeless the fastest way of becoming a nobody.’ I hated that she felt that way.” He added: “I always try to talk to the homeless just to see how they got into their situation. You know, because it can happen to any one of us, at any given moment.” After he drove away, he circled back to ask if the woman was hungry and if she wanted food. The officer said she was honored by his offer. He bought them both pizza and Mountain Dew and when the pair sat down to eat, he learned of her family struggles and told her: “Hey, you still got stuff to live for, you still got your life ahead of you. It’s never too late.” Officer Rivers, who does recruiting (征兵) for the Goldsboro PD, hopes to send a message of sympathy for others. He added: “When the younger or newer guys come in, I let them know, ‘Hey, treating the community like human beings is the most important thing in the world.’” “So, if we as police officers show that love and sympathy to everybody, no matter their age, financial background or race, the world would be a better place.” 24. Why did Chris Barnes share the photo on Facebook? A. Because it was taken by his wife. B. Because the officer was his friend. C. Because the officer was handsome. D. Because he was impressed by the officer’s action. 25. Why did the officer come back for the homeless woman? A. Because she asked him for food. B. Because her situation was serious. C. Because he wanted to become an internet celebrity. D. Because he wanted to make a difference to her. 26. What does the officer want to pass on to his new colleagues? A. Policemen should be sympathetic and caring. B. Anyone can become homeless at any given moment. C. Policemen should become heroes. D. People should learn to draw others’ attention. 27. What does the text mainly talk about? A. How to become a good model for policemen. B. How the policemen help the homeless. C. A lucky homeless woman who caught public attention. D. A policeman seen sharing lunch with a homeless woman. 2020～2021 学年度第一学期期中学情检测高三英语试卷 第 5页，共 16页 C When you really love a book, or have just scored a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks (发出吱嘎声) a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones aren’t cheap, either. Sometimes, you’d just rather have a portable paperback — but if it’s a new book you’re after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why are books released as hardcovers first? Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass production, print runs were limited, and books were hard-bound and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with a huge surge in reading as a leisure activity around World War II. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today. Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has persisted. Because of its history, it conveys a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does. “The hardback is a mark of quality...it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,” Philip Jones, editor at the Bookseller, explains to The Guardian. But the major reason why books come out as hardcovers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The New York Times compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD. “Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,” according to The Times. And because they’re profitable, publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback edition but do not cost twice as much to produce,” Jones explains. 28. What can we learn about hardcover books from the first paragraph? A. They are heavy but not expensive. B. They appeal to real book-lovers. C. They take a long time to come out. D. They are not preferred by book-lovers. 29. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Increase. B. Success. C. Difference. D. Drop. 30. Why are hardback books still printed today? A. They are brilliantly edited. B. They convey correct information. C. They are worth collecting. D. They sell better than paperbacks. 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce hardcover books. B. To present a new social finding. 2020～2021 学年度第一学期期中学情检测高三英语试卷 第 6页，共 16页 C. To encourage people to read books. D. To explain a confusing problem. D In 1926, US automaker Henry Ford shortened its employees’ workweek from six eight-hour days to five, with no pay cuts. It’s something workers and labor unions had been calling for. Ford wasn’t responding to worker demands; he was being a businessman. He expected increased productivity and knew workers with more time and money would buy and use the products they were making. It was a way of encouraging consumerism and productivity to increase profits, and it succeeded. Since standardization of the 40-hour workweek in the mid-20th century, everything has changed but the hours. If anything, many people are working even longer hours, especially in North America. This has a severe influence on human health and well-being, as well as the environment. Until the Second World War, it was common for one person in a family, usually the oldest male, to work full-time. Now, women make up 42 percent of the world’s full-time workforce. Technology has made a lot of work unnecessary, with computers and robots doing many tasks previously performed by humans. Well into the 21st century, we continue to work the same long hours as 20th century laborers, using up ever more of Earth’s supply to produce more goods that we must keep working to buy, use and replace in a seemingly endless cycle of hard work and consumption. It’s time to pause and consider better ways to live like shifting from fossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected. The UK think tank, New Economics Foundation, argues that a standard 21-hour workweek would address a number of interconnected problems: “overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life”. Economic systems that require constant growth on a finite (有限的) planet don’t make sense. It’s time for a change in our economic thinking. 32. Why did Ford decide to shorten the workweek? A. To make more profits. B. To cut workers’ pay. C. To respond to worker demands. D. To meet labor unions’ requirements. 33. What change in the workforce happened after World WarⅡ? A. The number of laborers decreased. B. More women worked full-time. C. Technology enabled people to work shorter hours. D. It was unnecessary for a family’s oldest male to work. 34. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. Longer working hours means better consumption ability. B. The 21st century sees the longest working hours in history. C. Pausing our way of living can change the present workweek. D. The cycle of hard work and consumption should be changed. 2020～2021 学年度第一学期期中学情检测高三英语试卷 第 7页，共 16页 35. New Economics Foundation thinks a 21-hour workweek will _______. A. increase unemployment B. encourage people to enjoy life C. cause various problems D. challenge the economic growth 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, 并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选 项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Make a Good Impression on Your Teacher Making a good first impression on your teacher is an important part of having a good school year. You don’t have to be smart to get a teacher to appreciate you. Introduce yourself at the first opportunity. Talk to them for a minute or so if you want to. This shows that you aren’t afraid to socialize and that you have confidence. Most teachers like students who have confidence and share the same hobbies with them. 36 Do what you are expected to, especially for the first few weeks of school. Always raise your hand before speaking. Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you don’t understand anything. 37 This implies that you want to learn and that you strive to do well in school. Just make sure you don’t ask questions too often. 38 Teachers love cheerful students. So keep a positive attitude. Besides, participating shows that you understand what your teacher is talking about. It will seem like that you are prepared and listening in class. Listen carefully and study hard. Know when to pay attention. Having to ask the teacher to repeat themselves can be embarrassing. 39 If you do, you’ll score highly in your first test. Maintaining your grades throughout the whole year (or semester) is a must. Turn in assignments on time. As children grow older, homework as well as the amount of time engaged in homework increases in importance. 40 Late homework can result in punishments and your teacher won’t be happy either. A. That means no complaining, being angry or displaying unhappiness. B. Your teacher will be more than happy to help you. C. Work hard in preparation for tests. D. Try to find something you both have in common. E. Homework is an effective way to provide additional instruction. 2020～2021 学年度第一学期期中学情检测高三英语试卷 第 8页，共 16页 F. Remember to keep a positive attitude. G.

After purchasing the tickets and drinks, we entered the cinema with delight beforehand, waiting for the beginning of the movie. When I got up in the middle of the movie, Emmett whispered, “Carter, where are you going?” “I forgot to call my mom to tell her what time to pick us up.” I whispered back, leaving my jacket on the seat. I squeezed past the people in my row, trying not to step on any feet while still watching the screen. I didn’t want to miss a thing. Balfour, the good guy in the movie, was trapped in an underground cave. When I came back, Balfour’s flashlight almost went out. An enormous snake was moving toward him, twisting its body. Balfour struggled to loosen the chains around his hands and feet to reach his magic cape (斗 篷). With the cape around him, he could completely disappear. I crawled (匍匐前进) back across eight people (I counted on the way out), never taking my eyes off the screen. I sat down in my seat slowly, then picked up my drink, and swallowed it quickly. But suddenly my brain said, “That’s not coke. That’s lemonade.” I looked down at the cup, just as the girl next to me shouted, “He drank my lemonade!” “Shhhh!” the people around us said, making quiet complaints. “Where’s Emmett?” I asked, as if the girl had hidden him under her seat. “Carter, down here,” Emmett answered in a low voice. He was two rows ahead of me. I was in the wrong row! Everyone was turning around to look at me. “Here,” I said, handing the girl her drink. “Eww,” she said. “You have had a drink of it, so you owe me a lemonade.” “Shhhh!” everyone said again. “OK, OK,” I said, starting my crawl across eight sets of feet again. Everybody were complaining as I inched out. “Don’t come back,” the boy on the end said. 注意： 2020～2021 学年度第一学期期中学情检测高三英语试卷 第 12页，共 16页 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 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: But the problem was that I had to come back to bring this girl a new lemonade. 答 案 写 在 答 题 纸 上 Paragraph 2: I thought about crawling out of this row and back into Emmett’s row, but I couldn’t. 答 案 写 在 答 题 纸 上 南通市 2020～2021 学年度第一学期期中学情检测高三英语 参 考 答 案 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 1-5 ACCBA 6-10 CCBBA 11-15 ABAAC 16-20 ACBCB 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分 40 分) 第一节 (共 15小题；每小题 2分，满分 30分) 21-25 BDCDD 26-30 ADBAC 31-35 DABDB 第二节（共 5小题；每小题 2分，满分 10分） 36-40 DBGCE 第三部分 完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 2020～2021 学年度第一学期期中学情检测高三英语试卷 第 13页，共 16页 41-45 DABCC 46-50 BDDAB 51-55 CADAB 第四部分 基础知识运用（共两节，满分 25 分） 第一节（共 15小题；每小题 1分，满分 15分） 56. making 57.

Mr. Liu, a doctor from our local hospital who volunteered to Wuhan this spring to fight against Covid-19, was invited to deliver a speech for us. All the teachers and students were deeply moved and inspired by his heroic deeds. At the end of his speech, we showed our respect for Mr. Liu with applause. We learned a lot from him and many students said that they wanted to be a doctor in the future. 第二节 读后续写（满分 25分） Paragraph 1 But the problem was that I had to come back to bring this girl a new lemonade. I bought a lemonade, took a deep breath, and went back. This time, I bent low, looking at every person on the end of each row. When I saw the same boy, I moved through fast to get back to that girl. Unfortunately, I stepped on a boy’s feet and banged my knee. After apologizing to him, I quickly fell into the seat next to the girl and handed her the lemonade. Everyone around us all turned to stare at me again with some complaints. Paragraph 2 I thought about crawling out of this row and back into Emmett’s row, but I couldn’t. Maybe I would just stay there until the movie ended. Thanking me for the lemonade, the girl talked about the plots I missed. I whispered back, “Thanks.” When the lights of the cinema came on, I grabbed my jacket on the seat and hurried out.

M: Yes, I did some part-time jobs such as tourist guide and salesman. Besides, I worked as a volunteer to visit sick kids in the hospital to cheer them up. Text 2 M: I didn’t expect Jenny to play the violin so well. W: Actually, she used to be a top player at college. M: Really? I can hardly believe it. Text 3 W: I saw an advertisement in the newspaper about a mountain bike you have on special offer. M: Yes, this one. It’s our regular $ 200 mountain bike on sale today for $ 160. So it’s $ 40 cheaper now. W: Great. I’ll take it. Text 4 W: Hey. I’m a visitor from China, I love your music. It’s the best I’ve ever heard. Will you please spare a little bit of time for me? M: Sure. Thank you for saying that. Actually, those songs were sung for the first time today. I wrote them in the past two months. Text 5 M: I suppose Jason will be the winner. He has so many friends supporting him. W: And he himself is very diligent. Considering all these, I think he has the ball at his feet. Text 6 M: Hi, Megan. How are you? W: Not feeling too good, actually. M: Oh? Why’s that? W: Well, something terrible happened this morning... (voice trembling) M: What? Sorry, take your time, and tell me when you’re ready. W: Well, I was playing with my dog Bonzo in the garden with a ball, and the ball flew into the road, and... M: Yes? W: And Bonzo jumped after it and he got hit by a car. M: Oh, no! And is he...? W: Yes. We took him to the animal hospital immediately, but there was nothing they could do. M: Oh, poor Bonzo. And poor you. I know how much he meant to you. Text 7 W: Hi, Kevin. Do you have a minute to talk about the meeting next Tuesday? M: Sure. We said 11, didn’t we? W: Yeah, we did. But I have a bit of a problem with the time. Would it be possible to move it? M: Oh, I see. We could put it off to the afternoon, to 1 p.m., for example. Or bring it forward to earlier in the morning. What would suit you? W: Could we make it 9 o’clock? That would really help me. I have another important meeting in the central office at 12. M: No problem. It’s important you’re there. W: Thanks a lot, Kevin. M: Do you need help with any preparation? Did you get the agenda I sent out? W: Yes, I did. And no, that’s all fine, thanks. My report is ready and I’m looking forward to presenting it. M: Great. 2020～2021 学年度第一学期期中学情检测高三英语试卷 第 16页，共 16页 Text 8 M: Mom? W: Yes? M: You know that economics exam I had last week? W: The one you didn’t review? M: I did review it. I was working on it all weekend. Don’t you remember? W: Oh, yes, I remember. Apart from going out until four in the morning, you mean? M: Well, I have to relax a little. Anyway, I didn’t pass it. W: You failed it! But wasn’t that an important one? M: Yeah, I’m really sorry. W: I’m really sorry too. What does that mean? M: Well, I’ll probably have to retake the whole course. W: Oh, Ryan! It’s a really expensive course. I’m not sure we can afford for you to take it again. Things are difficult enough as it is. M: I know. Mom. I’m sorry. I’ll talk to the teacher again and see if I can retake it. Text 9 W: So, have you got any plans for the weekend? M: Yeah, me and my friends are going to this activity centre in the mountains. W: Oh, yeah? M: You can do all kinds of things. It’s a new centre; it sounds great. We’re going to go dirt boarding. W: What’s that? M: It’s like skateboarding or snowboarding. You have a board to stand on and wheels. They’re pretty strong because you go down rough mountain tracks on them. W: Phew. It sounds far too difficult to me. Anyway, I’m going away this weekend too. M: I was going to ask. So where are you going? W: Paris! I’m so excited! M: Paris, wow! W: Yeah, it’ll be brilliant! We’re going to do some sightseeing, like go up the Eiffel Tower and take a boat along the River Seine and see the old parts of the city. It looks so beautiful in the photos. And then there are all the art galleries. You know how much I like art. I can’t wait to go round the Louvre and see all those famous paintings. M: You’ve got a lot planned for one weekend. W: Oh, we’re going for four days, actually. Text 10 M: You have two new messages. Message number one, received today at 3:45 p.m. W: Hi Jack, it’s me, Betty. How’s it going? I guess you’re at work and you don’t you’re your phone on, right? First of all, thank you, THANK YOU for the birthday card and message. I received it this morning. That’s so nice of you. I’m organizing a little party for my birthday. It’s nothing very big—only a few of my best and closest friends. That means you too! We’re going to have it at my cousin Lucy’s house. She lives in the countryside in a nice big house with a swimming pool. I’d love to see you there. It’s going to be this Friday. I’11send you the instructions on how to get there later, OK? Anyway, have fun at work. Don’t work too hard, OK? Talk soon.
