2021 届东北师大附中净月实验学校高三英语期末试题及答案 第一部分 阅读(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 A Amid the coronavirus outbreak,the U.S.Department of Homeland Security recommends having at least a two-week supply of water and food.Potatoes Shelf life:2 to 5 weeks if stored in a cool,dry,dark place Yukon Gold,red,and fingerling potatoes will last from two to three weeks.Larger white potatoes can last for three to five weeks.Sweet potatoes have about the same shelf life.Dont store them next to onions,however.The two might go together well in cooking,but raw,each gives off gases and moisture that might cause the other to spoil faster.Tea Shelf life:6 to 12 months past sell-by date Dried tea leaves,whether loose(in a sealed container)or in teabags(in an unopened box)can easily last a year or more if they re not subjected to damp or humidity.However,the tea does tend to lose flavor over time.Peanuts Shelf life:1 to 2 months Peanuts in their shell,especially when kept cool and dry,are perfectly happy in the cupboard for as long as two months.Canned fruits and vegetables Shelf life:1 to 2 years past sell-by”date Canningis an extremely efficient means of preserving food.Generally speaking,if canned foods arent subjected to extreme heat,their contents should stay good for two years or more.Be aware,however,of dented cans or those with swollen tops,which may indicate the presence of bacteria inside.1.Which can go bad faster if stored with onions?A.Potatoes.B.Tea.C.Peanuts.D.Canned fruits and vegetables.2.What is special about tea?A.The flavor of tea can always remain the same.B.Tea leaves are better to be preserved in an open jar.C.Tea leaves should be kept away from the state of being wet.D.The maximum length of time that tea can be stored is 6 months.3.What may shorten the sell-by”date of canned foods?A.Shapes of cans.B.Categories of foods.C.Decline of the temperature.D.Exposure to high temperature.B A study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process(衰老过程).Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick.Their research shows that a devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer,but also healthier.For their study,the researchers looked at two groups.The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists between the ages of 55 to 79.This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women.We will call this group the“cyclists”.Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group.Within this group,75 people were aged from 57 to 80.The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36.The people in this group were also healthy,but they did not exercise regularly.We will call this group the“non-exercisers”.Smokers,heavy drinkers of alcohol and people with other health issues were not included in the study.Then,researchers gave both groups a series of tests.They tested their muscle mass(肌肉质量),muscular strength,percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune(免疫的)systems.Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process.For example,they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength.Also,their body fat did not increase with age.The researchers also found something they had not expected.The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.The researchers advise us all to find an exercise that we like in our lives.4.How did the researchers carry out the study?A.By comparing.B.By discussing.C.By imagining.D.By reasoning.5.Which of the following is a result of the research?A.The cyclists kept a thin body shape.B.The non-exercisers gained weight easily.C.The cyclists muscles remained strong with age.D.The non-exercisers usually had health problems.6.Which is an unexpected result for the researchers?A.The cyclists had normal aging process.B.The cyclists immune systems didnt age.C.The cyclists lost nearly all their fat.D.Everyone needed an exercise in their lives.7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Healthy People Need More Exercise B.Take an Exercise,the Harder,the Better C.Cycling Is the Best Way to Prevent Aging D.A Lifetime of Exercise Slows Aging Process C The first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart.We tried to slow it down with treatment,but it suddenly stopped beating completely.Later,whenever I would have a case like that one,I found myself second-guessing my clinical management.However,it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.In a working paper,Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result,they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient,often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences,thefalloutfrom second-guessing appears especially large for us.A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed(开药)warfarin,the physician was about 20%less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes(中风).However,if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors.In the blood-thinner study,doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient)and less affected by letting harm happen(not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke).Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine.Overreaction to Fearsome Risks holds true for broader society.For instance,sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions.Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and,according to the study,such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational(不理性的)thinking when processing information,bad events and mistakes.As much as we dont want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again,we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesnt necessarily mean we did anything wrong.When we overthink,we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced.Instead,we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient,who died more than a year ago.Instead of second-guessing myself,I trusted my clinical instinct(本能)and stayed the course.Every one of those patients survived.You should trust your instinct in your life,too.8.The first two paragraphs suggest that_.A.bad medical outcomes affect doctors B delivering babies can be difficult work C.some doctors are not very experienced D.doctors sometimes make silly mistakes 9.In the blood-thinner study,doctors_.A.tend to prescribe less effective medicine B.are more concerned about the patients safety C.become less confident in writing a prescription D.believe a stroke is more treatable than a bleeding 10.What does the underlined word fallout in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Result B.Benefit C.Difference D.Absence 11.The author will probably agree that_.A.we should not doubt our own decisions B.our experience will pave way for our future C.humans are emotional and irrational on the whole D.instincts dont necessarily lead to wrong directions D Its a little before8 a.m.when Mathias Schergen pushes open the side door at Chicagos Jenner Elementary Academy for the Arts.He walks down the hall toward the office to sign in.Its the same routine hes had as Jenners art teacher for nearly a quarter century.“Its going to be a good day,”a colleague calls out.“Its a good day.”They hug.It seems like a typical Friday.Except its not.After 23 years at Jenner Elementary,Schergen is retiring.Even on his last day,there are still art projects to finish.Schergen leaves behind a richlegacyat this school.Hes won grants(拨款)for art projects.He turned an empty classroom into a museum.Hes pushed his students to make art about their lives.And he was awarded a Golden Apple the most honorable teaching award in Chicago.But it wasnt always easy.For years,Schergen taught in one of the citys toughest neighborhoods.“When I first got my room,I noticed there were bullet holes in the window.That made me nervous,”he says.So he stuffed Beanie Babies in the holes to make it“look kind of funny”.“I didnt even tell my wife for a whole year,”he says.“I didnt want her to know.”With one hour to go,Schergen piles the chairs and sweeps the floor.He cleans out the sink for the last time.Fifth-grader Deontae Barnes,one of his best helpers,has watched him say goodbye all day.He wanders in the doorway.“Ah,come here,son,”Schergen says,signaling him over.He bends down for a hug.“Thank you for making these last days special and being a help to me.”When Deontae leaves,a reporter asks Schergen:When your kids ask why youre retiring,what do you tell them?“I just tell them that grown people have dreams too,”he says.“I have other things in my life I have to do.Its time.Its just time.”12.Why is it a special Friday for Schergen?A.He was retiring on that day.B.He won an
