2021 年荣成市第五中学高三英语下学期期末考试试题及参考答案 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 What to Eatand What to SkipWhen It Comes to Takeout Food If the burden on your wallet doesnt bother you much,the effect your takeout habit can have on your waistline just might arouse your attention.Heres the best and worst of the lot for your belly.Steamed Vegetable Dumplings:Order This.When she orders Chinese,registered dietitian nutritionist Elisa Zied gets an order of steamed vegetable dumplings.I often pair them with either chicken and broccoli in brown sauce（I ask for a little saucemade without sugar）or steamed shrimp dumplings,she tells us.Crab Wontons:Not That!When you deconstruct crab wontons,its easy to see why theyre a Not That!The inside is filled with crabmeat and cream cheese（which is just a fancy,spreadable fat）.The wonton is made of refined flour,egg and salt and the crispy（脆的）coating is a result of a deep oil bath.Peking Duck:Order This.Most of the fat from the skin flows out of the duck over the course of cooking,making this a healthier choice than most of the stir-fry dishes available.Order a side of steamed vegetables and serve it with a small scoop of brown rice.Done and done!Sweet and Sour Anything:Not That!Anything with“sweet and sour”in its title is a powerful cue that something has been deep-fried and covered in a sickly-sweet pink sauce.If you pair your selection with a side of rice,youre looking at a 1,000-calorie meal.Summer Roll:Order This.Summer rolls are steamed instead of friedand typically filled with lean proteins and vegetables,making them a winning appetizer in our book.Pair them with an order of edamame（毛豆）and a broth-based soup for a satisfying,filling meal.Spring Roll:Not That!Spring=deep-fried,which is why we say to skip them!Theyre filled with fat and calories your belly doesnt need.1.What kind of cooking method should be skipped according to the text?A.Steaming.B.Stir-frying.C.Deep-frying.D.Boiling.2.Which of the following suits as a good starter for a meal?A.Chicken and broccoli.B.Steamed vegetable dumplings.C.Peking duck.D.Summer rolls.3.Where can the text be found?A.In a recipe.B.In a guidebook.C.In a science fiction.D.In a health magazine.B Jeff Bezos,Elon Musk and Richard Branson have a combined net worth of 400 billion,roughly the size of the GDP of the entire nation of Ireland.And all three men have decided to put vast sums of their wealth into chasing their space travel dreams,creating a modern space race in which ultra rich men rather than countries shoot for the stars.But why the three billionaires choose the crazy plan?Just for the travel dreams?Its not that simple.As we all know,the space travel is a mirror of comprehensive national strength,whether its the cold war or the present.The first space racespannedmultiple presidents and premiers Kennedy,Krushchev,Brezhnev,Nixon.It made heroes of astronauts and cosmonauts,and it focused national prides.But obviously,this years race between the billionaires features none of that national pride or opposing ideas.Its tax averse tycoons(大亨)who want to sell high priced tickets to rich people interested in experiencing weightlessness.Amazons Bezos has said he is funding his portion by selling off large chunks of his Amazon stock(股票)1 billion or more a year.What are the odds?If anyone is taking bets on how this will end,and who will have the more profitable space tourism business,consider Amazons method of making very little profit in order to eat up competition.So,from this point of view,whats hiding behind this crazy race is business.As a method of expand influence,it is not a bad idea.Richard Branson has carried out his plan on July 12,and Jeff Bezos announced that he will start his space travel on July 20.Bezos is getting some good press because hes taking Wally Funk along for the ride.Shes the pilot now in her 80s who was kept out of space in the 1960s because shes a woman.This may be a bonus for him.As for Musk,he thinks these two above are not real space trips,he wants a larger move.Who will win the race in the end?Lets wait and see.4.Which of the following people might be the potential client of the space travel?A.Daisy aged 45 with a heavy debt.B.Clarkson who doesnt enjoy taking risks.C.Billy aged 60 with an ample retirement pension.D.Alexander who knows nothing about space travel.5.What stopped Wally Funk flying to space in the 1960s?A.Age.B.Gender.C.Height.D.Disposition.6.What does the author think

One-year-old Tallulah turned purple and stopped moving after the sweet became stuck in her throat.Her mum Leigh-Anne said the drama began during a visit to her grandmas house when her grandparents gave her older kids some sweets.“Then at about 4:45 pm,Tallulah started to chokewe all went into a panic.”“It seemed like it went on for ages.Not one of us knew what to do.”“I rang an ambulance while my grandma and granddad tried to get the sweet to come up.”“Tallulah was panicking at first but then she started to go purpleshe almost had no oxygen left in her.”With her daughter limp(无力的)and time running out,LeighAnne knew she couldnt afford to wait for the ambulance to arrive.“The only thing I could think was to go out into the street.”She said.“I rushed out and screamed for someone to help while my grandma rushed out crying with Tallulah.”At exactly the moment,Caitlin,who is studying public services atRedcarCollege,was passing byQueen Street.She said,“I was waiting to go to work when I heard someone screaming for help,so I ran straight over.”The 17-year-old girl added,“Something just clicked and I went into auto mode.The little girl was completely limp,so I checked her airways and tilted(使倾斜)her over and started hitting her back.I turned her round and tapped on her chest,then after what felt like forever she coughed up the sweet and spat it out.As soon as she started crying I felt a huge relief.I was just so pleased I was able to help.”Caitlin was taught her lifesaving skills when she joined the Army Cadets four years ago.8.When did Tallulah get choked?A.While eating

Whena person in the United States gets the COVID-19 vaccine(疫苗),the person receives a small piece of paper called a“COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card”.It is a piece of paper with the logo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,or CDC,and the name and date of the vaccine.Because it is so simple,it could be easy to fake.Many people in theU.S.are still unsure about getting the vaccine.As universities,workplaces and other places are requiring proof of vaccination,some people are now buying fake vaccination cards without getting a shot.The Associated Press reports that students and teachers at universities around theU.S.are worried about fake cards.Sellers are using social media apps like Instagram to advertise fake vaccination cards.The prices range from$25

than 700 universities and colleges require proof of vaccination.Most schools simply ask their students to take a photo of their card and send it to a school website.Benjamin Mason Meier is a professor at theUniversityofNorth CarolinaatChapel Hill,UNC.He studies international health policy.He said,unlike some countries,theU.S.is not using a digital system to record vaccine status.He said theU.S.is depending on“aflimsypaper card”,and students have told him they knew of others who had used fake vaccination cards.Rebecca Williams also works at UNC.She is a researcher at the schools Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention.She said she was not surprised that people were worried about fake vaccination cards.“This is why I think the development of a reliable national digital vaccine passport app is very important,”she said.There is a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards.If someone uses the CDC logo without permission,they can be lined and punished by up to five years in prison.The U.S.Department of Justice recently charged a person inCaliforniawith making fake vaccination cards.College students who already have the vaccine are criticizing those who would rather spend money to buy a fake than get a free shot.Maliha Reza is an electrical engineering student atPennsylvaniaStateUniversity,She called those students“dumb”.“Im angry about that,”she said.“Like,there is more anger than I could describe now.”12.Why do some college students buy fake vaccination cards?A.They are easy to get.B.Many Americans are still uncertain about getting the
