灵宝三高2019-2020学年高二下期月考试卷 英 语 ‎（120分钟 150分）‎ ‎ 第一部分：阅读理解。（每小题2分，共40分）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ A Janet Guthrie and Danica Patrick, first female Indy competitor and winner No complaints about woman drivers. Janet Guthrie, a space engineer who was training to be an astronaut, turned to car racing when she was cut from the space program for not having completed her doctor’s degree. In 1977, Guthrie became the first female Indy 500 competitor. She didn’t take the lead, but Danica Patrick did. In 2005 and in 2008, Patrick became the first woman ever to win an Indy Car Series.‎ Raymonde de Laroche, first female licensed pilot A former actress, who'd been born in Paris in 1882, Raymonde de Laroche was inspired to take up flying after seeing the Wright Brothers flight demonstrations in ‎1907 in France. Though she wasn’t the first female pilot, de Laroche was the first woman to earn a pilot’s license in 1910.‎ Gertrude Ederle, first woman to swim across the ‎English Channel On August 6th, 1926, Gertrude Caroline Ederle became the first woman to swim across the English Channel. Ederle, who lived to be 98 and died in 2003, was also an Olympic swim champion and five-time world record-holder in five swimming events.‎ Kathrine Switzer, Nina Kuscik and Joan Benoit, first major female marathoners In 1967, 20-year-old Kathrine Switzer became the first woman to run in the Boston Marathon, even though race officials had tried to stop her. Nina Kuscik became the first woman to officially win the Boston Marathon, 1972. In 1984, American Joan Benoit became the first winner of the Women’s Olympic Marathon, finishing 400 meters ahead of Norway's Grete Waitz.‎ ‎21. Why was Janet Guthrie forbidden to take up space program?‎ A. She used to be a woman driver. B. She showed interest in car racing.‎ C. She was employed as an engineer. D. She didn't gain a doctor’s degree.‎ ‎22. What made Raymonde de Laroche decide to become a pilot?‎ A. Her experience as an actress. B. Her settlement in Paris.‎ C. Wright Brothers’ influence. D. Wright Brothers’ dialogues.‎ ‎23. What's the similarity between Gertrude Ederle and Kathrine Switzer?‎ A. They were athletic. B. They lived a long life.‎ C. They had a higher fame. D. They were looked down upon.‎ B There was something in the elderly woman's behavior that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of step, the woman moved with deliberation, and there was no hesitation in her gestures. She was as good as anyone else, her movements suggested. And she had a job to do.‎ The elderly woman had walked into the store along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of impatience, rolling her eyes, huffing and sighing, checking her watch every few seconds. If she had possessed a belt, her mother would ‎ have been fastened to it as a means of dragging her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.‎ The older woman detached(分开) from the younger one and began to glance over the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title written on a piece of paper. The title was unusual and a bit unfamiliar. Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies, about quality.‎ Rather than rushing off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who'd passed away the previous Christmas.‎ As we walked along the back of the store, I narrated its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.‎ We found the movie, and I complimented her on her choice. She smiled and told me it was one she'd enjoyed when she was her son's age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had. Maybe, she said with a hint of eagerness, he could enjoy it with his own young children. Then, reluctantly, I had to return the elderly woman to her keeper, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.‎ I accompanied the older woman to the queue at the cash register and then stepped back and lingered near the younger woman. When the older woman's turn in line came, she paid in cash, counting out the dollars and coins with the same sureness she'd displayed earlier.‎ ‎24. What does "she had a job to do" (Para. 1) mean according to the context?‎ A. She had a regular job in the store. B. She wanted to ask for help.‎ C. She wanted to buy a DVD. D. She was thinking of what to buy.‎ ‎25. What does the title of the DVD reveal according to the shop assistant?‎ A. The elderly woman had some knowledge about movies. B. The elderly woman liked movies for young children.‎ C. The elderly woman preferred movies her son liked. D. The elderly woman liked both old and new movies.‎ ‎26. While looking for the DVD with the old woman, the shop assistant was ______.‎ A. hesitant B. casual C. cautious D. considerate ‎27. What is the main purpose of this passage?‎ A. To describe what a movie nut is like.‎ B. To remind readers to spend more time accompanying family.‎ C. To stress the importance of company and understanding.‎ D. To explore the key aspects of current parent-child relationship.‎ C ‎“New and improved.” These words are put in so many marketing campaigns that we tend to accept them as linked. But many new drugs aren't an improvement over the best existing drug for a given condition, and the fast drug-approval processes in recent years have added to the uncertainty about their advantages.‎ A recent report in the British Medical Journal, New Drugs: Where Did We Go Wrong and What Can We Do Better?, analyzed the issue. The authors looked at 216 drugs approved between 2011 and 2017; 152 were newly developed, and 64 were existing medicine approved for new uses. Only 25% offered a major advantage over the established treatment, and fully 58% had no confirmed added benefit to reduce symptoms or improve health-related quality of life.‎ ‎"This doesn’t mean there's no added benefit," lead author Wieseler said. “It just means we have no positive proof. Either we have no studies or have studies not good enough.” Wieseler and her co-authors work for a German institute which evaluates new treatments and advises on whether the country's health care system should pay a premium (附加费) for them. Such organizations, known as health technology assessment (HTA) agencies, work a little differently in the US, says Sean Tunis, a researcher in Baltimore: “If payers think a new drug isn't better than an existing drug, these agencies will require that hospitals try the cheaper drug first.”‎ Germany's HTA demands trials to prove that a new treatment beats the existing standard. This isn't always practical. For one thing, such studies can be expensive and time-consuming, with no guarantee of success. Secondly, it can discourage companies from attempting to develop new alternatives. This is already happening. Drug developers are increasingly focused on areas where there are no good treatments to compete with, such as rare diseases.‎ This lack of meaningful data to guide patients is a major point of Wieseler's paper. With accelerated approval, there are more products approved, with a greater amount of uncertainty about risks and benefits. But there are other solutions besides drug trials. One idea is to require postmarket studies to track the effectiveness of newly approved drugs—a step too often neglected.‎ ‎28. What message does the recent report convey?‎ A. Many new drugs have no improved advantages. B. The approval processes for new drugs are too fast.‎ C. Improved drugs have advantages over old ones. D. Before 2017 no improvement was made to drugs.‎ ‎29. What will US HTA agencies do when no advantage is found in new drugs?‎ A. Remove government premium on them. B. Get hospitals to use the cheaper drugs.‎ C. Arrange financial support for the patients. D. Put new drugs on further trials and studies.‎ ‎30. What's the disadvantage of Germany's HTA trial demands?‎ A. Making drug companies think of illegal ways to cut cost. ‎ B. Pushing companies to try alternatives for existing drugs.‎ C. Getting patients to depend on the government for support.‎ D. Holding companies back from improving existing drugs.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. The Advantage of Existing Drugs B. Misunderstanding of New and Old Drugs C. A Dilemma with New Drug Alternatives D. People’s Preference for New or Old Drugs D They're still kids, and although there's a lot that the experts don't yet know about them, one ‎ thing they do agree on is that what kids use and expect from their world has changed rapidly. And it's all because of technology.‎ ‎　　To the psychologists, sociologists, and generational and media experts who study them, their digital device sets this new group apart, even from their tech-savvy (懂技术的) Millennial elders. They want to be constantly connected and available in a way even their older siblings don't quite get. These differences may appear slight, but they signal an all-encompassing(包罗万象的) sensibility that some say marks the dawning of a new generation.‎ ‎　　The contrast between Millennials and this younger group was so evident to psychologist Larry Rosen that he has declared the birth of a new generation in a new book, Rewired: Understanding the iGeneration and the Way They Learn, out next month. Rosen says the tech-dominated life experience of those born since the early 1990s is so different from the Millennials he wrote about in his 2007 book, Me, MySpace and I: Parenting the Net Generation, that they warrant the distinction of a new generation, which he has dubbed the "iGeneration".‎ ‎　　"The technology is the easiest way to see it, but it's also a mind-set, and the mind-set goes with the little 'i', which I'm using to stand for 'individualized'," Rosen says. "Everything is defined and individualized to 'me'. My music choices are defined to 'me'. What I watch on TV any instant is defined to 'me'. He says the iGeneration includes today's teens and middle-schoolers, but it's too soon to tell about elementary-school ages and younger.‎ ‎　　Rosen says the iGeneration believes anything is possible. "If they can think of it, somebody probably has or will invent it," he says. "They expect innovation."‎ ‎　　They have high expectations that whatever they want or can use "will be able to be tailored to their own needs and wishes and desires."‎ ‎　　Rosen says portability is key. They are inseparable from their wireless devices, which allow them to text as well as talk, so they can be constantly connected--- even in class, where cellphones are supposedly banned.‎ ‎　　Many researchers are trying to determine whether technology somehow causes the brains of young people to be wired differently. "They should be distracted and should perform more poorly than they do," Rosen says. "But findings show teens survive distractions much better than we would predict by their age and their brain development. "‎ Because these kids are more immersed and at younger ages, Rosen says, the educational system has to change significantly. ‎ ‎"The growth curve(曲线) on the use of technology with children is exponential(快速增长的), and we run the risk of being out of step with this generation as far as how they learn and how they think," Rosen says. "We have to give them options because they want their world individualized. "‎ ‎32. Compared with their Millennial elders, the iGeneration kids __________.‎ ‎　A. communicate with others by high-tech methods continually ‎　B. prefer to live a virtual life than a real one ‎　C. are equipped with more modern digital techniques ‎　D. know more on technology than their elders ‎33. Why did Larry Rosen name the new generation as iGeneration?‎ ‎　A. Because this generation is featured by the use of personal high-tech devices.‎ ‎　B. Because this generation stresses an individualized style of life.‎ ‎　C. Because it is the author himself who has discovered the new generation.‎ ‎　D. Because it's a mind-set generation instead of an age-set one.‎ ‎34. Rosen's findings suggest that technology _________.‎ ‎　A. has an obvious effect on the function of iGeneration's brain development ‎　B. has greatly affected the iGeneration's behaviors and academic performance ‎　C. has no significantly negative effect on iGeneration's mental and intellectual development ‎　D. has caused distraction problems on iGeneration which affect their daily performance ‎35. According to the passage, education has to _________.‎ ‎　A. adapt its system to the need of the new generation ‎　B. use more technologies to cater for the iGeneration ‎　C. risk its system to certain extent for the iGeneration ‎　D. be conducted online for iGeneration's individualized need 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容, 从短文后的七个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。‎ Benefits of Sports Doing sports is a physical, mental and social adventure. It’s a great way for children to take a break from academics and release extra energy. It also helps them lead fuller and happier lives as regular sports have proven to improve overall well-being.‎ The physical benefits of doing sports are probably the most obvious. Regardless of your fitness level when you start playing sports, you’ll notice an increase in your overall fitness once you’re involved. ____36____ Basketball players focus on strength training; football players work on speed while track athletes train through longer runs. The training process helps promote physical fitness and performances in competitions.‎ ‎____37____ Playing sports contributes to mental health, helping to increase confidence and self-worth. A pat on the back, high-five from a teammate, or handshake after a match really boosts a child’s confidence. Words of praise and encouragement from the coach, parents and other players raise the self-worth. ____38____ So after a game, it’s a better idea to ask “Did you enjoy the game?” rather than “Did you win?”‎ Children who participate in sports might also benefit from the social aspect, feeling part of a group, building up accountability and leadership. ____39____ Teamwork involves both being dependable as a teammate and learning to rely on your teammates to achieve a positive outcome. Teamwork breeds accountability and challenges you to be responsible for your actions. Being part of a team gives you an opportunity to be a leader.‎ Discipline is another social advantage. Most organized sports require a strict training and practice schedule. As a student-athlete, you need to balance academics and athletics. ____40____‎ There is no shortage of reasons to find a sport to get involved in. Are you ready to go? Pick one and get moving!‎ A. It’s not just your body that benefits from sports.‎ B. Therefore, playing sports is going to make you more fit.‎ C. But remember, a child’s self-worth should not be distinguished by victory or loss.‎ D. If you play group sports, you’ll be part of a team that takes direction from a coach.‎ E. Nearly every sport requires physical activity and the skills needed to be competitive.‎ F. Among these, learning how to function as part of a team is the most important advantage.‎ G. Only with strict discipline can you be successful both in the classroom and in the sports field.‎ 第二部分 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 2分，共 40 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，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。‎ With consumers growing increasingly frustrated with online advertising and privacy concerns, how do you convince shoppers to buy your narrative(描述), ___41___ your product?‎ A recent report by a software review company that connects buyers and sellers, may be able to ___42___ some light. It turns out that it may actually benefit brands to be painfully ___43___ about their products.‎ Consumer awareness of influencer marketing strategies is increasing. ___44___, most consumers trust online peer ___45___ as much as recommendations from friends. Feedback from common people, it seems, actually carries more ___46___ than a brand ambassador.‎ Transparency（透明度）is crucial. The report found that there is a large trust ___47___ between sellers and buyers. While sellers believe they are transparent, most buyers don’t appear to see it. During the sales process, 85 percent of sellers ___48___ to be open about their product’s limitations, but only 36 percent of buyers share that same view. The reality is, consumers never expect any products to be ___49___ --- they just want to ___50___ the options that are best for them. They also want brands to be more ___51___. 66 percent of consumers say they will leave a company if they feel they are being treated like a number and not an individual.‎ Along with fake news, advertising fraud(诈骗), and data leaks, there have been fake reviews as well. Many sellers are using the platform to ___52___ Amazon with positive reviews that aren’t from genuine buyers, making building trust even more difficult. Review sites have been ___53___ giving preferential treatment to paid advertisers and consumers are increasingly discerning(有辨别能力的), as a result.‎ ‎___54___, review sites are not our only source of peer reviews, with social media providing customer experiences on a second-to-second basis. When brands treat every ___55___ with a customer as a potential review, they’ll start paying attention to delivering a valued and memorable experience every time. Taking feedback ___56___ also lets current customers feel valued and respected, thus making your business seem more approachable. This helps secure ___57___, and these customers will become brand ambassadors to their friends and people they meet online.‎ The challenge for brands today is determining how to use the ___58___ of the consumer to their advantage. In an age of cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence, and self-service customer care, it’s odd to acknowledge that the best way to build trust with your customers is by holding an open ___59___ with them. Being more human, transparent, and listening to what people are saying will see your company ___60___ in an era marked by consumer suspicion. ‎ ‎41. A. let out B. let alone C. let go D. let down ‎42.
