洛阳一高2020-2021学年第一学期高三年级9月月考英语试卷 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)‎ A Wanted: A Personal Assistant ‎ I'm a very busy woman, looking for an assistant to help me with certain important tasks. This is not your average assistant job. What I’m looking for is someone to take care of some of my more personal business so that I may focus on my true passion: grocery shopping. Please apply if and only if you are willing and able to accomplish the following tasks:‎ ‎ Work I would love to have a nine-to-five job. However, I find sitting in an office all day unbearable. An ideal assistant would secure a high-paying office job and excel in that setting, even going so far as to eagerly accept every invitation to after-work drinks. ‎ ‎ Go on family vacations I love my family, especially when I don’t have to spend time with them. Thus, I will require my employee to attend all family vacations in my place. Since I’ll miss out on spending time with my nephews, a good assistant will live-stream (直播）them for me the entire time while discreetly muting the live-stream whenever they start fighting.‎ ‎ Exercise I am determined to get in better shape but find working out strenuous and tiring. The right candidate will exercise for a minimum of an hour every day and allow me to reap the benefits of his or her vigorous activity.‎ ‎ Eat Just kidding-I love eating!‎ ‎ Date I’m looking for love but find dating tedious and intimidating. Ideally, my employee will get a drink with a potential mate so he or she can do the tiresome work of getting to know someone and deciding whether I’ll like him. If the romantic candidate advances past a third ‎ 15‎ date, I’d be willing to step in and proceed with the relationship from there, excluding birthdays, holidays, and other high-pressure situations.‎ ‎ Have a baby I’m eager to have a child, but being pregnant and giving birth seems hard. Likewise, raising a child seems daunting. I’d prefer to spend an hour or two with my child each day while someone else tackles the incredible responsibility of childrearing. Once my child turns 18, I will happily assume all parenting duties, excluding any financial obligations.‎ ‎1. What is the author truly interested in?‎ A. Spending vacations. B. Going shopping.‎ C. Dating someone. D. Raising children.‎ ‎2.The personal assistant needs to do the following things for the author EXCEPT .‎ A.working out. B. going to work.‎ C.accompanying families. D. eating delicious food.‎ ‎3. What do you think is the purpose of the passage?‎ A. To warn B.To inform C. To amuse D.To advertise B Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree. ‎ Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition（学费）, because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling. ‎ 15‎ Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 48-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times. ‎ Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed（牺牲）to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that's pretty powerful. ‎ ‎4. What did Jennifer do after high school? ‎ A. She helped her dad with his work. ‎ B. She ran the family farm on her own. ‎ C. She supported herself through college. ‎ D. She taught her sisters and brothers at home. ‎ ‎5. Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield? ‎ A. To take care of her kids easily. B. To learn from the best nurses. ‎ C. To save money for her parents. D. To find a well-paid job there. ‎ ‎6. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal? ‎ A. Her health. B. Her time with family. ‎ 15‎ C. Her reputation. D. Her chance of promotion. ‎ ‎7. What can we learn from Jenifer's story? ‎ A. Time is money. B. Love breaks down barriers. ‎ C. Hard work pays off. D. Education is the key to success. ‎ C Hacking isn't just for computers and smart-phones. According to a study, scientists have found a way to hack a plant's genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results could increase the number of food produced around the world.‎ Scientists used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants' genes. Hacked plants are larger than normal plants.‎ Photosynthesis is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Scientists say this is a very slow process. Plants use less than 1 percent of the energy. But by hacking a plant's genes, the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 12 and 20 percent. Scientists hacked the plant's protective system. Normally, this system starts when a plant gets too much sunlight. When the plant senses the light , it creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off. But the process is slow.‎ The new study sped up the process by changing the plant's genes. The protective system turned on and off more quickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth on two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 12 percent. Scientists conducted the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic changes would produce the same results in corn and rice.‎ Agriculture professor Tala Awanda said the study made sense, but cautioned the yield (产量)might not be quite so high for conventional food crops. "Still," she added in an email, "this study remains a breakthrough." ‎ 15‎ ‎8. Which of the following is true according to paragraph 1?‎ A. We can find hacking only in digital devices. ‎ B. A plant's genes can be changed by hacking.‎ C. Hacking has been used in improving food production.‎ D. Hacking can be used to change whatever you want.‎ ‎9. Why did scientists choose tobacco plants to study?‎ A. Because they are very easy to get.‎ B. Because their genes are easy to change.‎ C. Because they are larger than other plants.‎ D. Because they can absorb sunlight quickly.‎ ‎10. What do we know about photosynthesis?‎ A. It helps plants to produce energy.‎ B. It is regarded as a productive system for plants.‎ C. It can increase leaf growth on plants by 12 percent.‎ D. It is made up of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.‎ ‎11. We can learn from paragraph 2 that changing the plants' genes proved_______. ‎ A. Useless B. deadly C. effective D. unrealistic D Tang Dynasty poets sang for about three centuries in different tones. There were many famous poets living in the Tang period, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. The Poems of Tang Dynasty edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of more than 28,900 poems 15‎ ‎ that were written by over 2,200 poets. But it didn't cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.‎ During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.‎ Tang Dynasty poets wrote poems to win fame and also to develop their temperament (性情). They poured out deep feelings for their friends and criticized injustice in the world through poems.‎ In the Tang Dynasty scholars had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems, women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.‎ Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It's a miracle (奇迹) in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited (继承) Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world. Tang poetry wasn't the only spiritual wealth created by the Tang Dynasty people. Philosophy and religion, handwriting and painting, and music and dance all gained new peaks of development. Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and its greatest achievement.‎ ‎12．We can conclude from the passage that ________.‎ A．only people in the Tang Dynasty created poems B．in total there were four famous poets in the Tang Dynasty C．the Tang Dynasty probably existed for about three centuries D．in the Tang Dynasty most common people were poets 15‎ ‎13．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?‎ A．Why the poets created poems.‎ B．Some other kinds of spiritual wealth in the Tang Dynasty.‎ C．The significance and influence of the Tang Dynasty.‎ D．The editors of The Poems of Tang Dynasty.‎ ‎14．The underlined word “adjacent” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．‎ A．strong　　　 B．neighbouring C．poor D．rich ‎15．What's the best title for the passage?‎ A．The Great Tang Dynasty B．Tang Dynasty Poetry C．Famous Poets in the Tang Dynasty D．The Development of the Tang Dynasty 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。‎ A special copyright case has recently drawn attention because it is related to artificial intelligence(AI). A court in Shenzhen ruled that a news report written by Tencent’s AI enjoys copyright protection. 16 ‎ This is the first case in China that has provided copyright protection to work done by AI. But what does it indicate? 17 ‎ Probably not. AI is not yet able to write creative stories. The news report mentioned above is mainly about data. 18 it is often used to write financial reports. Some newspapers also use AI to report on stories about natural disasters, which mainly require basic facts such as “where” and “when”. As Forbes wrote, instead of losing 15‎ ‎ their jobs, journalists can make their work more efficient by using AI so that they can focus more on storytelling and less on numbers. ‎ ‎ 19 For example, Wayne McGregor, a British choreographer（编舞）, is famous for using AI to create new dances. For him, AI is a powerful tool that can help choreographers break out of common movements. McGregor is not worried that AI might replace human artists. “AI can’t judge the quality of the choreography,” he said. ‎ ‎“It’s time to stop worrying about if AI can be creative,” according to Forbes. 20 ‎ A. As artificial intelligence progresses,‎ B. AI is actually being helpful in many creative fields.‎ C. Instead, we should focus on how humans and AI can work together in ways that we have never dreamed of before.‎ D. A website broke the law because it used the article without permission. ‎ E. Since AI is good at processing data,‎ F. It’s time to think about how to prevent AI from replacing humans.‎ G. Will AI take the place of creative workers in the future?‎ 第二部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30)‎ 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。‎ Were it not for my habit of checking the mailbox of the Opinion Department after finishing my work there at night, I would not have 21 the postcard addressed to "China people" that had been left on the corner of a desk beside the "mailbox" shelf.‎ It was not 22 which department's mailbox the postcard belonged in, so it was left there alongside 23 newspapers and magazines.

The message was 29 to read — it was sent in the days when China was in the most difficult 30 of its "people's war" against the virus — because it 31 with the spirit of humanity. 32 it took the postcard more than three months to reach us, which in itself speaks volumes about the heavy 33 the pandemic has caused in the world, has made it only more valuable. Since that time, the situation has become better in China but worse in many other countries. The positive energy 34 by the message from Bologna stands in a clear 35 with many divisive tactic（分裂的策略）now. It shows how important mutual(相互的) assistance can be for the international community to 36 a common threat. No country is safe until the virus is brought to 37 in its last foothold in the world. 38 the pandemic is now largely under control in China, the Chinese people have never relaxed their vigilance given the 39 of a comeback by the virus at any time. They also have seized the moment to revive the economy so that they can provide more 40 assistance to the other countries, including Italy.‎ ‎21. A. glanced B. spotted C. looked D. checked ‎22.
