‎2016～2017学年度上学期12月月考试题 高三英语试卷 ‎ 考试时间120分钟 试题分数 150 ‎ ‎ 卷I 第一部分：听力 （略）‎ 第二部分：阅读理解（ 共 2 节，满分40分）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ ‎  A ‎ On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table. “Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.” Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair. ‎ ‎ “They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.” Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi. “My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. “And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’” Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation. “I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.” Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native land and from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story. ‎ ‎21. What happened when Welty was with her friends at the café? A. Two strangers joined her. B. Her childhood friends came in. C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner. D. Some people held a party there. 22. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s________ . A. readers B. parties C. friends D. stories 23. What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction? A. They live in big cities. B. They are mostly women. C. They come from real life. D. They are pleasure seekers. ‎ ‎ B ‎ As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and ‎ how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet was changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people used the Internet, they did not remember the information. Rather, they remembered how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)" According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 24. The passage begins with two questions to ______. A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's altitude C. describe how to use the Interne. D. explain how to store information 25. What can we learn about the first experiment? A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well. C. The first group did not try to remember the formation. D. The second group did not understand the information. 26. In transactive memory, people ______. A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information 27. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? A. We are using memory differently. B. We are becoming more intelligent. C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to access information. C ‎ How to Train Your Dragon by British author Cressida Cowell is one of the best pieces of children’s literature. A child can make a whole alternative universe with a vivid imagination and Toothless, the hero’s hunting dragon, thus turning a rainy day into an adventure of lifetime. However, if you have never read the book but instead choose to see the film version, you might think you were seeing a new-age war movie meant for adults rather than children. Let’s look at Where the Wild Things Are for further discussion. The story centers around a lovely eight-year-old boy named Max, who sails away to an island. Creatures living there declare Max their king. What an amazing piece of children’s literature! A treasure for every child’s library. Yet, children were crying in the movie theatre. Owls were falling from the sky, chicken’s arms were being torn off, and a child was running around a dark abandoned world, fighting evil as the only human. It was almost as if Hollywood could not imagine children enjoying a movie for its basic literature content. Hollywood might be right. But the audiences are complaining that there is more and more violence in children’s stories today than in the ‎ past. While there appears to be a trend in our society to make more violence more accessible to younger children, books and literature are generally an exception. I truly believe that children’s literature has become more vivid and colorful. This is a great treasure for the children, and is certainly not violent. What has changed the children’s stories of today is not the writers, but the film industry. In some way, children’s literature is just being strangely twisted. I wonder how much influence the author has over this. 28. What can be inferred about the film Where the Wild Things Are? A. It is moving. B. It is frightening. C. It is interesting. D. It is amazing. 29. Which of the following does the writer probably agree with?‎ A. The film industry’s treatment of children’s literature is wrong. B. Writers should provide more colorful works for children. C. There is an increase in violence in children’s literature. D. Children should read books rather than see films. 30. How is the text mainly developed？ A. By inferring　 B. By giving explanations. C. By providing examples. D. By making comparisons. 31. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To make comments on two novels. B. To introduce two authors to children. C. To call for more attention to children’s literature. D. To criticize some movies adapted from children’s literature.‎ ‎ D ‎ It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken.

It serves to refresh ourselves and develop our awareness of cooperation and spirit of competition. Therefore, personally I hold the view that it would be a great loss to us students if it were replaced by other lessons.
