2021-2022上學(xué)期期中考雙十中學(xué)高三第二部分∶閱讀理解（共 20小題;每小題 2.5分，滿分 50分）第一節(jié) （共 15 小題;每小題 2.5分，滿分 37.5分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的 A、B、C和 D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。AAttractions for Kids with Dinosaur FeverWhile there are plenty of movies and books that can teach your little one all about dinosaurs, the following children's attractions will allow them to come face-to-face with their favorite dinosaurs and learn in an interactive, fun environment. 1. Dinosaurs Alive at Cedar PointSandusky, OHSee the “age of dinosaurs” come to life with interactive exhibits based on real fossil evidence. At the Dinosaurs Alive section of Cedar Point park, visitors can walk among more than 50 life-sized dinosaurs which move and roar. See these gigantic lizards up close and learn more about the most fearsome period of the earth's history. 2. The Chicago Children's MuseumChicago, ILThe Chicago Children's Museum is filled with plenty of activities for kids of all ages, but one of the coolest has to be the Dinosaur Exhibition. At this exhibit, children can spend time digging for dinosaur bones at an excavation site, looking at dinosaur fossils, and learning what life is like for real archaeologists. 3 Carnegie Museum of Natural HistoryPittsburgh, PAIn addition to plenty of exhibits about wildlife, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History has one of the finest dinosaur fossil collections in the world. Visitors can see experts work with real dinosaur fossils in the PaleoLab. Make sure to snap a photo in front of Dippy, the scarf-loving dinosaur guarding the front of the museum!4. The Children's Museum of IndianapolisIndianapolis, INFrom the dinosaurs exploding out of the side of the building to the fossils within the Children's Museum of Indianapolis is filled with fun things to do. Kids can touch a real T-rex bone and see reconstructed dinosaur skeletons up close.1. Who are the attractions mainly intended for?A. Archaeologists. B. Parents.C. Children. D. Volunteers.2. In which museum can visitors dig for dinosaur bones?A. Dinosaurs Alive at Cedar Point.B. The Chicago Children's Museum.C. Carnegie Museum of Natural History.D. The Children's Museum of Indianapolis.3. What are visitors advised to do in Pittsburgh, PA?A. Touch a real T-rex bone.B. Take a photo in front of Dippy.C. See reconstructed dinosaur skeletons.D. See experts work with real dinosaur fossils.BIn Shakespeare’s HAMLET, Polonius asks the prince, “What are you reading, my Lord?” Hamlet replies, “Words, words, words.” Either, as is likely, Hamlet wasn’t interested in what he was reading, or, less likely, he didn’t understand the words he was reading. In this case, Polonius should have lent Hamlet a good dictionary.Dictionaries are essential tools for people who like to read. There are so many words in English that even the most educated person will sometimes meet an unfamiliar word and have to look it up. Languages keep changing, too, with new words constantly being added and new meanings being applied to old words. For example, the 12th edition of Xinhua Dictionary, the most popular dictionary in China, has added new words such as “chu xin” “fen si” “er wei ma” etc. As for new meanings, “girl” once meant “a small child of either sex”. And “naughty” didn’t mean you were “enjoying playing tricks”; it meant you were poor.A printed dictionary can’t keep pace with all the changes, which is why most dictionaries have websites and apps to help you keep up-to-date. However, I still prefer printed dictionaries because they give you more definitions and more examples of how a word is used. Even a simple word, such as “set”, has 430 meanings (the most of English words) but an online dictionary would only offer two or three. A printed dictionary also gives you the opportunity to discover new words as you run your finger down the page looking for the word you want.There is no “official” English dictionary, but the Oxford English Dictionary is considered to be the best. For English language learners, however, I would recommend the Collins COBUILD Dictionary for Advanced Learners. Hamlet, by the way, was Danish and a college student. He would have appreciated the Collins Dictionary to help himself with his words, words, words. This dictionary has over 40,000 words and gives you full-sentence definitions with good examples of how words are used.4. What’s the function of paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic.B. To let the readers know more about HAMLET.C. To arouse readers’ interest in Shakespeare.D. To explain when it’s necessary to use a dictionary.5. Why does the author mention “girl” in paragraph 2?A. To show how powerful Xinhua Dictionary is.B. To support the idea: languages keep changing.C. To prove new words are being added to dictionaries.D. To imply “girl” also means “boy” in some cases.6 What’s the author’s attitude to printed dictionaries?A. Favorable. B. Ambiguous. C. Negative. D. Critical.7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph?A. To introduce the history of dictionaries.B. To call on learners to use dictionaries.C. To recommend Collins Dictionary.D. To explain why Hamlet likes Collins.C"The really frightening thing about middle age,"the actor Doris Day is said to have joked, “is that you know you’ll grow out of it."We may bravely try to claim that life begins at 40-but for many people, it can feel more like the beginning of the end.Mid life wasn't always seen this way. It isn’t clear why we have a more negative view today, but Margie Lachman, director of the lifespan development lab at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, suggests it may be linked to the pressures that begin piling up in our 30s. “Midlife is a period of high stress today, more so than in the past,"she says." One is exactly in the middle of work and family careers. This can affect one's ability to focus or one's own well-being."There are, however, many reasons to feel positive about this crucial period. In a series of experiments, Laura Germine at Harvard Medical School has tested tens of thousands of people to examine the differences in cognitive abilities between age groups. Germine's studies have included the famous "mind in the eyes" test, for instance, which gets people to infer emotional states from small differences in facial expressions. She found that people n their late 40s scored highest. This may be due to practice, she suggests."When you think about the amount of social differences that one has to learn across the lifespan— that's where we think that comes from.'Germine found similar patterns in a task demanding continuous attention. In this, the participants had to watch different scenes fade into one another and adapt their response according to what they saw—pressing a button when they saw a city and releasing it when they saw a mountain. 40-somethings found it much easier to "get into the zone than younger people.It is interesting to note that middle-aged people frequently bring in the most supplies in traditional hunter-gatherer societies. According to various studies, hunter-gatherers often take decades to learn their skills, and these abilities continue to grow into their 40s.There are some downsides to hitting this age, of course. Our skin tends to become loose and our body fat starts to be redistributed around the midriff. But after a drop in life satisfaction, happiness is already set to rise at the end of this decade and the beginning of the next.Contrary to popular opinion, humans seem to have evolved to flourish into middle age and beyond.8. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Doris Day felt excited in her 40s. B. It's believed that life begins at 40.C. Lots of people feel worried at 40. D. We are supposed to be braver at 40.9. Which of the followings is TRUE according to the text?A. People in their 40s attach more importance to their well-being.B. There seem to be reasons for us to be optimistic about middle age.C. The participants in their 40s did badly in Germine's experiments.D. Humans' physical appearance definitely gets worse in their40s.10. The underlined word "flourish" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning toA. Prosper B. PanicC. Continue D. Decline11. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A textbook B. An art review.C. A science magazine. D. A biography.DIf you have ever tried to catch a resting butterfly, you know it is surprisingly difficult. A new study helps explain why.Previous research had suggested that a butterfly's overhead wing clap forces the insect forward. Researchers thought the wing clap likely formed a pocket of air that shoots out like a jet. But no one had tested that until now.To analyze their flight, they placed six butterflies one at a time inside a wind tunnel which was filled with smoke and then used a laser to light up the smoke just behind the butterfly. Four high-speed cameras were placed in the tunnel to take photos of the movement of the butterfly and the smoke as the butterfly was taking off. This let the researchers create a 3D picture of that air movement as the insect flapped its wings.They analyzed a total of 25 takeoffs by six butterflies. Each included up to three wingbeats after takeoff. The butterflies proved more likely to clap their wings together during the first few wingbeats than later in flight.The photos show that forces created by the wings give rise to a flight path. The butterflies rise as their wings move down and shoot forward as their wings move up. A wing clap on takeoff, paired with a quick turn, allowed the butterflies to fly away quickly. They also noticed the wings formed an air pocket just before clapping and that the wings' flexibility and this pocket improved the jet force created by the clap.“The study is exalting,” says Ayodeji Bode-Oke, a mechanical engineer in Charlottesville. That means “we have solved the longtime puzzle about how butterflies fly, and it proves nothing is impossible on the road of scientific research. I can't wait to learn about how the study might inform designs for small flying vehicles.”12. Why was laser used in the experiment?A. To frighten the butterflies into flying. B. To help researchers observe the butterflies.C. To help take clear photos of air movement. D. To guide the butterflies through the smoke.13. What is the finding of the research according to paragraph 5?A. Butterflies fly forward as wings move down.B. An air pocket forms after butterflies clap wings.C. Butterflies beat wings three times before taking off.D. Upward wing movements help butterflies fly forward.14. What does the underlined word “exalting" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Puzzling. B. Exciting. C. Simple. D. Impossible.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Why Can Butterflies Fly Like a Jet? B. How Can Butterflies Make Wing Claps?C. How Can Butterflies Make Quick Turns? D. Why Can Butterflies Run Away Quickly?第二節(jié)（共5小題;每小題2分，滿分12.5分）根短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Tropical RainforestTropical rainforests are a world like none other.____16____Unparalleled in terms of their biological diversity tropical rainforests are a natural reservoir of genetic diversity. They offer a rich source of medicinal plants and other useful forest products. They are an important habitat for migratory animals and preserve as much as 50 percent of the species on earth, as well as a number of diverse and unique originating cultures. Tropical rainforests play an elemental role in regulating global weather in addition to maintaining regular rainfall, while buffering(緩沖)against floods, droughts,and soil erosion (腐蝕).____17____Despite their monumental role, tropical forests are restricted to the small land area between the latitudes 22.5 degrees north and 22.5 degrees south of equator. The majority of the earth's land is located north of the tropics.___18___ Tropical rainforests are a scarce resource in the 21st century. What ever carpeted the earth’s land surface a mere five generations ago has been reduced to scattered fragments(碎片); today, more than two-thirds of the world's tropical rainforests exist as fragmented remainings.____19____Over half of this forest lies in Brazil, which holds about one-third of the world's remaining tropical rainforests. Another 20 percent of the world's remaining rainforests exists in Indonesia and Congo Basin, while the balance of the world's rainforests are scattered around the globe, in tropical regions____20____It is based roughly on four forested continental regions: the Ethiopian or Afrotropical, the Australasian or Australian, the Oriental or Indomalayan Asian, and the Neotropical.A. They take in adequate fresh water and oxygen.B. In that case, new rain forests are seen to be discovered.C. Their global distribution can be broken up into four biogeographical areas.D. Their importance to the global ecosystem and human existence is vital.E. As a consequence, rainforests are naturally limited to a relatively small area.F. They store vast quantities of carbon while producing a significant amount of the world’s oxygen.G. The largest unbroken stretch of rainforest is found in the Amazon river basin of South America.第三部分 語言知識應(yīng)用第一節(jié) 完型填空（共15小題，每小題1分，滿分15分）My heart was pounding as I climbed onto the School bus on the first day of middle school.

One warm spring day, a small friend followed them home after school. This friend had short legs and long floppy ears, with a furry coat and tiny spots across her nose. She was the cutest puppy I had ever seen and my girls begged me to keep her.She was not more than twelve weeks old. She had no identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the lost and found but l really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, her owners should have watched her more closely, I thought.By the end of the week she was part of our family. She was very clever and good with the girls. The Following week something told me to check the lost and found section in the local paper. One particular ad caught my attention and my heart sank at what I read. Someone was searching for a lost puppy near our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I could not ask myself to pick up the phone.Instead, I pretend I hadn’t seen the ad. I quickly put the paper aside and tried to ignore it. I never say anything about it to the kids or my husband.By now we had named the puppy. She looked like a Molly, so we called her Molly. She followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, she was one step behind them. When they did housework she was there to help.There was only one problem with this perfect dog: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the puppy they were desperately looking for.注意：1.所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為120左右;2.續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，每段開頭語已為你寫好；Paragraph1:With mixed feeling , I pick up the phone________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:I asked the woman to come in and she quickly hugged Molly________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________聽力答案：1-5 ABCBC  6-10 BBACC   11-15 CABAB   16-20 AABCC
