2021 届上海民办张江集团学校高三英语第二次联考试卷及答案 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 Ever wonder why there are so many people polluting the earth?Ever say to yourself：Hey,I wish that I could do more to help the environment?Have you ever thought about trying to help the earth but never really did it?Well,here are some pretty easyand skillful ideas for that green-earth desire inside you.Turn off your computer.By leaving it on all day you are creating more CO2than a regular passenger would,driving to and from work in one day.Ride your bike or carpool(合用汽车).Obviously,youare creating less CO2which will help the ozone(臭氧).Make a garden.Even simply grow some plants in your kitchen,which will help produce more oxygen while eating up some of that evil CO2.Buy local groceries.It creates less impact on the environment.Besides,youre supporting your local farmers.Recycle.You had to see this coming.But you have no idea how much you are helping the environment by simply reusing a water bottle instead of buying a huge pack at the store.Dont run the water while brushing.It saves you money and helps the water resources.Open the curtains.Natural light is much prettier and it will keep the energy usage down.Rechargeable batteries.You have no idea how much it takes to get rid of batteries.Do yourself a favor.Save some money and some energy.1.If you dont want to create more CO2,you may_.A.turn off your computer or open the curtains B.turn off your computer or ride your bike or carpool C.make a garden or open the curtains D.use rechargeable batteries or make a garden 2.Which of the following can best describe the function of the first paragraph?A.Main body.B.Argument.C.Lead-in.D.Conclusion.3.The main idea of the passage is about_.A.the importance of environmental protection B.some ways about how to prevent pollution C.some suggestions about how to save energy D.some suggestions about environmental protection B The English language is changing,and you are responsible!Whether we consider changes in grammar,spelling,pronunciation,or the very vocabulary of the language,you have played your part and continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling,perhaps in elementary school,we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred.The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable.While this way might be helpful for teaching children,it is far from accurate.The English language,like many others,is a living,growing,ever-evolving thing.Like it or not,you are involved in this change.These changes take many forms.Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over the years and centuries,with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this.While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English,most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words.Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words.In addition to these differences,the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them.For example,consider the word err.The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word her.Older dictionaries show this to be the primary or only pronunciation.However,in recent years,more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like air.Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words.The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language.Through the centuries,many words have come from other languages.In fact,English has probably done this more than any other language in the world,which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.Of course,many slang words have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly.Others,though,have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable,as have many technical terms.So then remember,the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street,or make up your own words,you may be contributing to the future of the English language.4.When we begin to learn English,we think _.A.it is interesting to pick up a new language B.English rules are wrongly presented in fact C.grammar and spelling rules are unchangeable D.only adults have the ability to affect a language 5.From paragraph 3 we can know that_.A.we can change the English language B.many languages are changing over years C.English has changed little in the past 1,000 years D.there were main changes in grammar and pronunciation 6.Why is the pronunciation of words changing?A.people speak in different ways B.people have adopted foreign words C.it has been affected by American English D.makers of dictionaries often change them 7.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Foreign words involved in English.B.The British speaks differently from Americans.C.English language is changing over years.D.You can change the English language.C Coke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886,making it a rather true andtested favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries.This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster(除锈剂).If you have a bunch of small rusty objects,put them in coke overnight and give them a goodscrubin the morning.Coke helps to break down the rust,making cleaning much easier.Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.Like the previous item,the citric acid(柠檬酸)in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner.This is especially useful for car windows.Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window,then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink.As coke is fullof sugar,you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses,or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.For those of you who live in areas where skunk(臭鼬)smells can be an issue from time to time,one can of coke added to water with detergent(清洁剂)really helps to break the smell down.If you have been sprayed,stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke wait for a few minutes,then wash yourself with a shower.Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!.Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom.The black is almost impossible to remove;this is caused by over-cooking.To remove the black and renew your pot,pour in a can of coke(or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch)and put it on the stove on a low heat.After an hour or so,wash the pot as normal.8.What does the underlined word“scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Start.B.Cleaning.C.Shake.D.Example.9.What is important while using coke to clean car windows?A.Use a dry cloth.B.Rub the window lightly.C.Dont pour too much coke.D.Clean the sugary matter thoroughly.10.For which purpose does coke have to be mixed with other material?A.To get rid of the black on the pot.B.To breakdown the rust,C.To remove smells.D.To clean windows.11.What type of writing is this text?A.An advertisement.B.A review.C.A news report.D.A practical guide.D The common use of Google Maps,a navigation(导航)app on smartphones,raises the age-old question we meet with any technology:What skills are we losing?But also,crucially:What capabilities are we gaining?People who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps usually experience lots of confusion with digital maps.For example,they may mess up the direction of north and south,and you can see only a small section at a time.But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me.Despite being a frequent traveler,Im so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years.What seems unnecessary to some has been a significant expansion of my own capabilities.Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires a specific skill set.There is nothing natural about them.In many developed nations,street names and house numbers are meaningful,and instructions such as“go north for three blocks and then west”usually make sense.In Istanbul,in contrast,where I grew up,none of those hold true.For one thing,the locals rarely use street names,and house numbers often arentsequentialeither because after buildings 1,2 and 3 were built,someone squeezed in another house between 1 and 2,and now thats 4.But then 5 will maybe get built after 3,and 6 will be between 2 and 3.Besides,the city is full of winding and ancient streets that meet with newer ones.Therefore,instructions as simple as“go north”would require a helicopter.I got lost all the time.But since I used Google Maps,I travel with a lot more confidence,and my world has opened up.And because I go to more places more confidently,I believe my native navigation skills have somewhat improved,too.That brings me back to my original question:while we often lose some skills after seeking convenience from technology,this new setup may also allow us to expand our capabilities and do something more confidently.Maybe when technology closes a door,we should also look for the doors it opens.12.How does the author feel about Google Maps?A Confusing.B.Unnecessary.C.Complicated.D.Helpful.13.Which contributes to the difficulty of finding ways in Istanbul?A.Strange street names.B.Ordinary paper maps.C.Complex road arrangements.D.Lack of road instructions.14.What does the underlined word“sequential”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.In a fixed order.B.In good condition.C.Of great importance.D.Of the same kind.15.What column of a newspaper may this passage belong to?A.Fashion.B.Opinion.C.Society.D.Geography.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 How To Cultivate Your Confidence Self-confidence,the combination of self-efficacy and self-esteem,is an essential part of humanity.A person with self-confidence generally is willing to take risks to achieve his personal goals.Someone who lacks self-confidence,however,is less likely to feel that he can achieve his goals._16_ Identify your negative thoughts,Your negative thoughts might sound like this:“I cant do that,”“I will surely fail”.This inner voice is pessimistic and unhelpful and will hold you back from achieving high self-esteem and greater self-confidence.Turn your negative thoughts to positive thoughts._17_This may take the form of positive affirmations,such as“I am going to try it,”“I can be successful if I work at it,”or“people will listen to me.”Start with just a few positive thoughts a day.Refuse to allow negative thoughts to occur more often than positive thoughts.Eventually,your positive thoughts should be given more“brain space”than your negative thoughts._18_ _19_Avoid spending time around things that can make you feel bad about yourself again.These might be reminders from the past,clothing that no longer fits,or places that dont fit with your new goals of gaining confidence.Though you may not be able to get rid of every negative source in your life,you can certainly think about how to cut your losses._20_ A.Get away from your past.B.Rid reminders of your negativity.C.This will go a long way in building up your self-confidence.D.This means that you can have an abundance of self-confidence.E.The more your positive thoughts get,the less your negative
