辽宁省凌源市第三中学2019-2020学年高二上学期第三次月考英语试卷

英语 第一节(共15小题； 每小题2分 )‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Although environmental problems have existed for centuries, some people still care little about our environment. Problems like ice melting, electronic waste are lighting up news programs and becoming part of an ongoing dialogue about the environment.‎ As a teenager, what do you think all the problems mean for your future and for the future of the planet? For our October 2016 writing contest, we want you to really consider what you think about environmental problems.‎ Use these questions to help focus your essay (文章)‎ ‎■What environmental problem do you think should cause the greatest alarm and action?‎ ‎■Do you think that you have a personal responsibility to help solve environmental problems or do you feel helpless against the struggle?‎ ‎■What do you think could help a specific environmental problem?‎ Don't try to answer all these questions. Use one of them to make a personal essay.‎ The title of the essay When you hand in your essay, title it as: Environmental Problems：________. Include the phrase “Environmental Problems” as the beginning of your essay title, but then make the rest of your story title unique. Examples：‎ ‎■Environmental Problems: Trashy Behavior and the Plastic Bottle ‎■Environmental Problems: We Can't Exist If We Refuse to Change Rules：‎ ‎(1)This is a nonfiction essay contest.‎ ‎(2)Essays are 500 words or less.‎ ‎(3)Essays must be your original work.‎ The deadline：‎ Midnight Oct.30, 2016‎ Results：‎ The winner will be posted on our writing contest website or on Teen Trend Report after Nov.26, 2016.‎ ‎1．What is the text mainly about?‎ A．How to write an essay.‎ B．How to protect our planet.‎ C．October 2016 writing contest.‎ D．Some environmental problems.‎ ‎2．Which of the following essays will be accepted?‎ A．A 300word essay taken from the newspaper.‎ B．A 400word essay on air pollution.‎ C．A 500word essay full of imagination.‎ D．A 600word essay on plastic bottles.‎ ‎3．How can one know the result of the contest?‎ A．By sending an email.‎ B．By visiting the website.‎ C．By calling the organizer.‎ D．By reading a scientific report.‎ B Are you bad at math? If you answer yes, consider this question: Are you bad at math because you didn't study hard enough to learn the material or because you lack the ability to be good at it?‎ As it turns out, many children believe that they don't do well on math tests because they're intellectually incapable (无能的) of understanding the material. They have no reason to try harder, thus trapping them in a state of being bad at math.‎ Educators Miles Kimball and Noah Smith argue that this is a big problem, “Math is the great mental subject of an unconfident America. If we can convince you that anyone can learn math, it should be a short step to convincing you that you can learn just about anything, if you work hard enough.”‎ Psychologist Carol Dweck took on the task of convincing a group of students that if they worked hard they could become smarter. The truly ‎ remarkable part of that study was not that the kids improved and earned higher grades; it was that Dweck noted that a few of the tough boys in the group were brought to tears, learning that the level of intelligence they could reach was limitless — it was entirely up to them.‎ Of course, not all of us will become genius mathematicians, but the majority of us can become skilled and maybe even good at math. As Mashable points out, while dyscalculia (计算障碍), a math disability, is a real thing, only 6 percent of the population is likely to have it. For the rest of us, it's a confidence problem, or a lack of belief that with hard work, we'll improve. Thankfully, we now know better, and we can pass on that_information to the next generation.‎ ‎4．Many people don't work hard at math because they think that ________.‎ A．their intelligence is high B．math is not worth learning C．it's useless to put in the effort D．they have understood the material ‎5．According to Miles Kimball and Noah Smith, ________.‎ A．math is a big problem to deal with B．most Americans don't like math at all C．math is an important subject at school D．one can learn anything as long as he works hard ‎6．In Carol Dweck's study, the students ________.‎ A．passed the tests easily B．became good at math soon C．didn't get higher grades in the test D．know their intelligence depends on themselves ‎7．What does the underlined part “that information” refer to?‎ A．Math disability doesn't really exist.‎ B．Everyone is likely to learn math well.‎ C．Math cannot be ignored at any time.‎ D．Confidence is important in one's life. ‎ C When she was studying to become a scientist, Megan Strauss rode in a small airplane to study giraffes. While a pilot flew over the Serengeti in Tanzania, Africa, the researchers looked down carefully and counted giraffes. "I am always ‎ amazed how easily we can spot warthogs and other small animals, yet we sometimes have trouble seeing giraffes. Giraffes are slender in shape, and they may not throw a good shadow, " says Dr. Strauss, who has since become a wildlife scientist. The Serengeti is about the size of Vermont, a state in the northeastern US, so the scientists could not study the entire area. Instead, they surveyed three areas where giraffes were studied in the 1970s. As they expected, they saw far fewer of these animals. To find out if lions had been killing more giraffes in recent years, the team looked at the survival of young giraffes. Lions kill more young giraffes than adults, but the team found no decrease in young giraffes' survival after they are born, compared with the 1970s. The team then looked at whether too many giraffes were being killed by parasites(寄生虫）.The researchers counted parasite eggs in giraffe droppings, and they found too few to harm the giraffe population. They looked into whether poachers (盗猎者)were killing too many giraffes. Two of the areas they studied are where giraffe meat is sometimes sold in local markets. Poachers catch more adult males than other giraffes. Researchers spotted too few males compared with females in those two areas, a sign of poaching. When the food supply is short, the environment supports fewer giraffes and the females have fewer young giraffes. A lot of new trees have grown in the Serengeti, but many are a type that giraffes do not like to eat. The researchers found fewer young giraffes today than in the 1970s compared with the number of adult females, a sign that food was in short supply. Dr. Strauss is working on an environmental education program for Tanzania including books for students. These materials will educate Tanzanians and help them to help giraffes. As knowledge grows and changes are made, they hope the giraffe population will increase. ‎ ‎8. What did Dr. Strauss find while studying giraffes in the Serengeti?‎ A. It was too costly to study giraffes. ‎ B. It was hard to spot giraffes from the air. ‎ C. The number of giraffes had increased slowly. ‎ D. Giraffes lived in smaller areas than in the 1970s.‎ ‎9.How did the team study the lion-giraffe relationship?‎ A. By analyzing giraffe droppings. ‎ B. By comparing young giraffes with adults.‎ C. By comparing male giraffes and females.‎ D. By surveying the survival of young giraffes. ‎ ‎10.What are the causes of a reduction in giraffes population in the Serengeti? ‎ A. Lions and parasites. B. Lack of food and poaching. ‎ C. New trees and local markets. D Illegal hunting and natural enemies 11.What is Dr. Strauss doing to help giraffes?‎ A. She is founding a national park in Tanzania.‎ B. She is counting giraffes in the entire Serengeti.‎ C. She is educating students to write about giraffes. ‎ D. She is raising environmental awareness in local people.‎ D It began as a game: High school and college students studying computer technology figured out they could use personal computers to break into telephone company computers and make free, long-distance telephone calls. These young computer talents soon gained the name "hackers". Police arrested a few hackers, but many went on to even more complex hacking. One of them was arrested for making illegal telephone calls and later he used a phone to change a police officer's credit records to get back at the officer for arresting him. He also used a computer to change his college records to give himself better grades. As hackers gained experience, they began invading computers at banks, airlines and other businesses. In one case a hacker instructed an airline' s computer to give him free airplane tickets. The U.S. government is worried that hackers may break into its networks of defense computers. The government's secrets are easily attacked because thousands of government computers are connected by telephone lines that hackers can get into. In November 1988, a college student entered a U.S. Defense Department computer network called Arpanet. The hacker injected a computer program that made copies of itself throughout Arpanet. Some hackers use viruses to destroy all the data in a computer. But in this case, government officials shut down the network before the program reached every computer in the system. Shutting down the system angered many researchers who were using the computers. The hacker turned himself in to the police and he was charged with a crime. The incident put the spotlight on computer hacking in the United States. Many companies have hired experts to ‎ protect their computers from hackers, and many computer experts now advise companies on how to protect their computers. The U.S. government believes foreign governments have hired hackers to try to break into top-secret defense computers. Experts disagree over whether a computer network can ever be safe from hacking. But in the future, some of the most outstanding minds in the U.S. will be working to frustrate the attempts of computer hackers. ‎ ‎12. What did the first hackers do? ‎ A. They broke into government computers. ‎ B. They destroyed airplane ticket systems.‎ C. They played computer games. ‎ D. They made free phone calls. ‎ ‎13. Why can U.S. government computers be easily hacked into? ‎ A. They have no defense systems. ‎ B. They are connected by telephone lines. ‎ C. They are partly accessible to the public.‎ D. They lack complex processing programs. ‎ ‎14. What happened to the government computers in November 1988? ‎ A. They lost all of the important data. ‎ B. They were shut down by researchers. ‎ C. They were invaded by a college student. ‎ D. They got totally ruined by a computer program. ‎ ‎15. What did companies decide to do to protect their computer systems?‎ A. Employ computer talents. ‎ B. Build secret defense systems.‎ C. Ask the government for help. ‎ D. Collect and analyze the data of hackers.‎ 第二节 七选五 (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。‎ Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights — or maybe even just for tonight? 16 It’s your teachers’ way of evaluating how much you understand what’s going on in class. And it helps strengthen concepts.‎ ‎17 It’s inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you’ll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it’s best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you’re more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can — but don’t spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night. 18 But don’t pick someone whom you’ll never get it done!‎ Most people’s attention spans aren’t very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people. 19. ‎ Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack — there’s nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can’t find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister . 20. Now you’re free to hang out.‎ A. Homework is a major part of going to school.‎ B. Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework.‎ C. When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first.‎ D. But if you’re really concentrating, wait until it’s a good time to stop.‎ E. If you need to, ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice.‎ F. And no teacher still believes that “chewed by the dog” lie - even when it’s true!‎ G. In conclusion, no one is expected to stay long, and people have very different learning styles.‎ 第三节 完形填空（本题共20小题；每小题2分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds.

I don't think what you are worrying about is a big problem. When students move between classes, old friendships often suffer as new ones seem to take their place. But it isn't always the case. If you truly value the friendship, you should he able to make an effort to promote it. There is nothing to stop you spending time with your friends. You can arrange more time to gather on the weekend, communicating with each other. At the same time, you can explain that you are growing apart but you will always treasure the friendship. More importantly, you should keep the relationship and encourage each other. Thus you can adjust to new classes as quickly as possible and improve together. The worst thing is just to worry about something but do nothing to make it right. Try taking some action!‎ Yours,‎ Tom
