广东省惠州市惠州市实验中学2019届高三8月月考英语试题

第I卷 第二部分 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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Look at the following three special animals.‎ DOGS DRIVE CAR Auckland, New Zealand ‎ After two months of learning, Monty, and Porter were able to drive an automobile around a racetrack. “We wanted to prove how smart rescue dogs are,” animal behaviorist Mark Vette says. Vette first used voice commands and treats to teach the dogs how to turn a steering wheel and how to change gear(换挡).‎ ‎ The dogs’ ride only accelerated up to 7.5 miles an hour, and trainers could stop the auto using a remote control.‎ GOLDEN ZEBRA Kailua-Kona, Hawaii ‎ Zoe the zebra’s markings are special. The animal has white and golden stripes. Zoe’s appearance results from a rare condition called amelanosis(黑素缺失症). Her body doesn’t make enough melanin, the substance in an animal’s skin and hair cells that produces color. “Only 25 other golden zebras are known to exist in the world,” says Ann Goody, who runs the wildlife refuge where Zoe lives. In the wild, life may be difficult for animals with amelanosis because predators(捕猎者) can easily spot them. But Zoe is protected at her refuge.‎ COCKATOO MAKES TOOLS Vienna, Austria ‎ When Figaro the cockatoo spots food lying just out of reach from his cage, he builds a tiny wooden tool to sweep the tasty prize in his way.‎ ‎ The bird first revealed his talent when a stone he was playing with rolled out of his cage. The cockatoo couldn’t reach the stone. So he flew away and returned with a small branch, slipping it through the fence to slide the stone toward him.‎ ‎ Wondering if he would do it again, scientists placed a nut exactly where the stone had been. This time, Figaro pulled out a small piece of wood in his cage and dragged the nut toward him.‎ ‎21. If Zoe the zebra is set free in the wild, she will _____ .‎ A. meet no natural predators B. not get along with other zebras C. manage to make enough melanin D. be easily found for her appearance ‎22. What’s special about Figaro the cockatoo?‎ A. He’s particular about his food.‎ B. He’s good at drawing support from outside forces.‎ C. He’s extremely fond of stones.‎ D. He can tell the difference between stones and nuts.‎ ‎23. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Amazing animals.‎ B. Ways to help animals.‎ C. Animals’ unique talents.‎ D. Tips on training animals.‎ B Youth football team members rescued more than two weeks after sudden flooding trapped them in a cave in Thailand are now being well looked after at a hospital in the northern city of Chiang Rai. In addition to treating the boys for potential body fluid loss, inadequate nutrition and lack of oxygen, their doctors also plan to closely monitor them for symptoms of diseases that may have been infected by animals living in the cave.‎ ‎“The next step is to make sure those kids and their families are safe, because living in a cave provides a different environment, which might contain animals that could transmit…disease,” said the local hospital. The boys and their family members have been told to watch for symptoms such as headache, nausea(反胃), muscle pain or difficulty breathing, the reports added.‎ Yet based on the location where the boys were trapped—more than four kilometers from the cave complex’s main entrance, past some fully submerged passages—and the fact they have been swimming out wearing full scuba face masks, it seems unlikely that they were living with bats in the cave or breathed in bat-associated bacteria during their rescue, several infectious disease experts said. “It’s hard to imagine bats got that deep into the cave because of all those narrow passageways, but it is possible,” says Ian Lipkin, an animal expert and professor at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. “It’s unlikely that there would be many animals in there,” notes Jonathan Epstein, a doctor at EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit organization that studies diseases and how to prevent them. Bats typically like to rest in areas they can easily enter and exit, not in places that fully flood, he adds.‎ Bats in Thailand have been linked with a wide range of viruses that are similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)—Lipkin says. But it seems more likely the boys would have been ‎ exposed to infection-causing bacteria when they swam through the dirty water with cuts and scrapes. “If you are trying to prioritize issues with respect to health care for these kids, number one would be psychological damage and second will be bacterial infections from the cuts and scrapes they may have encountered.” Lipkin says.‎ ‎24. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the potential symptom of the rescued team members?‎ A. Lacking body water B. Unbalanced nutrition C. Pain in the head and muscles D. Adequate oxygen ‎25. The underlined word “submerged” in paragraph 3 means ____________.‎ A. under the water B. wild and dangerous C. with animals D. bat-associated ‎26. Which is true about the caves and the trapped people?‎ A. Jonathan Epstein thought it possible for the team members to be attacked by bats in the fully-flooded cave.‎ B. Lipkin argued bats were not able to get deep into the narrow cave where the kids were trapped.‎ C. Lipkin said the victims might be infected when their body were exposed to bacterial water during the rescue.‎ D. Lipkin believed the most important issue for the cave-trapped teenagers was infectious bacteria examination.‎ ‎27. What is the text type of the passage?‎ A. An academic essay about bats. B. A newspaper article.‎ C. A medical magazine. D. A Thai website about sports.‎ C So many of us hold on to little resentments that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.‎ An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn’t very good, recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted initially and said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize.” She ‎ was literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.‎ Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.‎ You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right,” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they don’t, that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.‎ ‎28. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “____________”.‎ A. recover B. develop C. accept D. replace ‎29. According to the passage, the author’s friend never spoke to her son for three years because ____________.‎ A. she had got an argument with her daughter-in-law B. she had disagreed about her son’s marriage C. she had got an argument about her daughter-in-law D. she had disliked her son’s wife for many years ‎30. Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first?‎ A. People believe that they are always right.‎ B. People always wait for others to offer an apology first.‎ C. People consider the position more important than happiness.‎ D. People want to get an inner satisfaction.‎ ‎31. The purpose of the passage is to ____________.‎ A. instruct the readers how to apologize B. teach the readers how to gain inner peace C. inform the readers the importance of being forgiving D. tell the readers to reach out first when there are painful events.‎ D China will green light Internet medical services conducted by medical institutions as part of a broader push to promote Internet Plus Healthcare, those at a State Council executive meeting chaired by Premier Li Keqiang decided.‎ Medical institutions will be allowed to provide online diagnostic services for some common and chronic diseases in patients’ follow-up visits to their doctors. The top levels of hospitals will be encouraged to provide online services, including consultations ( 会 诊 ), reservations and test result inquiries.‎ As China joins the ranks of middle-income countries, the demand for health services has increased accordingly. Internet Plus Healthcare can help reduce the problem of inaccessible and expensive public health services that have long been a big concern for the general public.‎ One decision coming out of the meeting says the intelligent review for health insurance will be applied and the one-stop settlement will be advanced. The real-time sharing of prescription and drug retail sales will be explored, as well.‎ ‎“We must waste no time in pushing forward the measures once the decisions made.” Li said. “In recent years, top-level hospitals in major cities have seen steady increases in the number of patents. Medical bills have become a heavy burden on families and high-end medical resources still fall short of meeting the growing demand of the public.”‎ To solve the problem, a two-pronged ( 双管齐下的) approach must be taken. One is to establish medical partnerships to strengthen cooperation between major hospitals and community clinics. The other is to bring forward Internet Plus Healthcare to promote the sharing of quality medical resources.‎ The government will see to it that long-distance healthcare services cover all county-level hospitals. So more efforts will be made to ensure that high-speed broadband network will be extended to cover medical institutions in urban and rural areas. Dedicated internet access services will be set up to meet the needs for long-distance healthcare services.‎ ‎32. According to the text, which of the following services won’t a patient enjoy online?‎ A. Receiving a medical operation.‎ B. Asking doctors for advice after the test.‎ C. Several doctors discussion about the disease.‎ D. Making an appointment with a doctor in advance.‎ ‎33. Why is the demand for health services increasing in China?‎ A. The expense of medical care. ‎ B. The recognition of health insurance.‎ C. The improvement of people’s life quality. ‎ D. The inconvenience of hospital equipment.‎ ‎34. What does Li mean by saying “We must waste no time in pushing forward the measures”?‎ A. The bills are impossible to afford. B. The situations are urgent to improve.‎ C. The measures are perfectly worked out, D. The hospitals are unwilling to admit patients.‎ ‎35. What can be the suitable title for the text?‎ A. Modern Hospitals B. Online Healthcare on its Way C. No More Burden for General People D. Wide Applications of Internet Service 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Changing your life can come in small, easy steps.
