2021 届中山市石岐区石岐中学高三英语三模试卷及参考答案 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 As the MOOC craze continues to explode,anyone interested in taking an online course faces a tricky question:Which course to take?Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.(1)What is your learning style?Many MOOCs are video-based.Other courses use presentation formats.Some also require participation in group work.If you want to stay motivated during your course,think about how you enjoy learning.Are you a visual learner,preferring to use images to understand a topic?If so,a video-based course will work well for you.If you are a verbal learner who gains new information by speaking and writing,try a text-based course with lots of note-taking.Social learners,meanwhile,will thrive in forum discussions and project-based assessment.(2)Are you ready to become a full-time student?Be realistic about the time that you can commit to your online studies.Participating in an online course can take as much time and commitment as a class-based program.Check the course requirements and make a plan around your current schedule.(3)Does the course really meet your needs?Whether you are interested in a professional qualification or want to take a personal development course like yoga,there is a MOOC for you.Its easy to get caught up in the excitement of taking lots of free courses in everything that you ever wanted to learn.Before you start a course,think about the end goal.Is the course aimed at beginners or advanced learners?Why do you need this qualification?(4)Do you need a support group?Some people learn best from seeing how others approach the problem.If you are such as learner,you will need to supplement your online lessons with an in-person support group.(5)What kind of certification will you get?Take time to find out what kind of certification is available upon completion of the course,and how you can prove your learning to others-for example,certificates,transcripts or digital badges.1.What kind of MOOCs does the author recommend to verbal learners?A.A video-based course.B.A text-based course.C.A forum-based discussion.D.A project-based assessment.2.What kind of learners need an in-person support group?A.Learners who prefer individual work.B.Learners who are in great need of a certificate.C.Learners who are too busy to become a full-time student.D.Learners who learn best from observing how others address the problem.3.What is the passage mainly about?A.Picking the right MOOCs for you.B.Deciding your learning style.C.Taking the right course you need.D.Choosing a suitable support group.B You must have read The Tortoise and the Hare(龟兔赛跑)when you were younger.So which animal are you?The tortoise or the hare?Do you rush around trying to do things as quickly as possible?Or do you deal your work at a slow,but steady(稳定的)pace?Whether you approach life like the tortoise or the hare can make a difference in the results youll see.Some will say that you should avoid being like the hare.After all.he was overconfident and finally lost the race.You mayalso have heard teachers say from time to time that haste makes waste”.But what does that mean?Most people think it meant that the faster you do something,the more likely it is that youll make mistakes.Many teaches wantyouto approach your schoolwork thoughtfully and carefully.But does haste always make waste?Not necessarily!Some people are able to work quickly while also maintaining(保持)a high level of quality in all that they do.Recent research,however,is making the idea of haste making waste seem more believable Researchers found that the brain changes into a special mode(模式)when forced to make rapid decisions.Overall,there appears to be a trade-off between speed and correctness.As the brain makes decisions more quickly,those decisions are usually built on less information,which often leads to a greater likelihood of mistakes.When you approach things like the tortoise.you methodically and steadily work towards your goal.You might not arrive there first,but then again you might!In any case,youre likely to make fewer mistakes and you might just enjoy the journey more than the bare.Goals are great to work towards,but often the achievements arent what we remember.In the end,the most meaningful and important parts of our lives are the journeys we went on,not the destination we reached.So be the hare when you have to,but always remember that the slow and steady journey is what youll remember and treasure the most.4.Why does the author mention the story in the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic.B.To show its popularity.C.To suggest its importance.D.To advise readers to read it.5.For what purpose do teachers often say“haste makes waste to students?A.To ask them not to waste their time.B.To tell them it is OK to make mistakes.C.To ask them to avoid making silly mistakes.D.To tell them they should check their schoolwork.6.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.How the brain collects the information it needs.B.When the decision made by the brain is correct.C.Why the quickly-made decision is often unwise.D.What the relationship between lime and results is.7.Which of the following may the author agree with?A.Finishing the race is often a victory for everyone.B.Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.C.The journey to every destination starts with a small step.D.A destination is important because it guides us on the journey.C Earthquakes are a natural disasterexcept when theyre man-made.The oil and gas industry has forcefully used the technique known as hydraulic fracturing(水力压裂法)to destroy sub-surface rock and liberate the oil and gas hiding there.But the process results in large amounts of chemical-filled waste water.Horizontal drilling(水平钻孔)for oil can also produce large amount of natural,unwanted salt water.The industry deals with this waste water by pumping it into deep wells.On Monday,the US Geological Survey published for the first time an earthquake disaster map covering both natural and“induced”quakes.The map and a report show that parts of the central United States now face a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain(不稳定地形)of California.Some 7 million people live in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes,the USGS said The list of places at highest risk of man-made earthquakes includes Oklahoma,Kansas,Texas,Arkansas,Colorado,New Mexico,Ohio and Alabama.Most of these earthquakes are ly small,in the range of magnitude(震级)3,but some have been more powerful,including a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 2011 in Oklahoma that was connected to waste water filling.Scientists said they do not know ifthere is an upper limit on the magnitude of man-made earthquakes;this is an area of active research Oklahoma has had prehistoric earthquakes as powerful as magnitude 7.Its not immediately clear whether this new research will change industry practices,or even whether it will surprise anyone in the areas of newly supposed danger.In Oklahoma,for example,the natural rate of earthquakes is only one or two a year,but there have been hundreds since hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling,with the waste water filling,became common in the last ten years.8.What kind of human activities can cause earthquakes?A.The man-made produced waste water in the factories.B.The process of digging deep wells in those poor areas.C.The advanced techniques used to deal with waste water.D.The oil or gas industrys work connected with the earth.9.What does the underlined word“induced”in paragraph 2 mean?A.Man-made.B.Reduced.C.Newly-built.D.Controlled.10.How much magnitude can man-made earthquakes reach?A.Its been said as small as magnitude 3.B.It has been said as high as magnitude 7.C.Its being studied without a final conclusion.D.It has risen by an average of magnitude 5.6.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Natural Earthquakes in America Are Disappearing Now B.7 Million Americans at Risk of Man-Made Earthquakes C.Time for Oil and Gas Industry Change Their Working Practice D.More Often Earthquakes as Powerful as Magnitude 7 in America D The far side of the moonis a strange and wild region,quite different from the familiar and mostly smooth face we see nightly from our planet.Soon this rough space will have even stranger features:it will be crowded with radio telescopes.Astronomers are planning to make the moons distant side our newest and best window on the cosmic(宇宙的)dark ages,a mysterious era hiding early marks of stars and galaxies.Our universe was not always filled with stars.About 380,000 years after the big bang,the universe cooled,and the first atoms of hydrogen formed.Gigantic hydrogen clouds soon filled the universe.But for a few hundred million years,everything remained dark,without stars.Then came the cosmic dawn:the first stars flickered,galaxies came into existence and slowly the universes largescale structure took shape.The seeds of this structure must have been present in the darkage hydrogen clouds,but the era has been impossible toprobeusing optical(光学的)telescopesthere was no light.And although this hydrogen produced longwavelength(or lowfrequency)radio emissions,radio telescopes on Earth have found it nearly impossible to detect them.Our atmosphere either blocks or disturbs these faint signals;those that get through are drowned out by humanitys radio noise.Scientists have dreamed for decades of studying the cosmic dark ages from the moons far side.Now multiple space agencies plan lunar missions carrying radiowavedetecting instrumentssome within the next three yearsand astronomers dreams are set to become reality.“If I were to design an ideal place to do lowfrequency radio astronomy,I would have to build the moon,”says astrophysicist Jack Burns of the University of Colorado Boulder.“We are just now finally getting to the place where were actually going to be putting these telescopes down on the moon in the next few years.”12.Whats the purpose of building radio telescopes on the moon?A To research the big bang.B.To discover unknown stars.C.To study the cosmic dark ages.D.To observe the far side of the moon.13.What does the underlined word“probe”in Paragraph 3 possibly mean?A.Explore.B.Evaluate.C.Produce.D.Predict.14.Hydrogen radio emissions cant be detected on Earth because _ A.there was no light in the dark ages B.they cannot possibly get through our atmosphere C.gigantic hydrogen clouds no longer fill the universe D.radio signals on Earth cause too much interference 15.What can we infer from theunderlined sentence in the last paragraph?A.Scientists have to rebuild the moon.B.We will finally get to the moons distant side.C.The moon is a perfect place to set up radio telescopes.D.A favorable research environment will be found on the moon.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Quite a few people choose certain kinds of food to stay
