2021 届上海民办侨华高级中学高三英语上学期期末试卷及答案 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 You have to praise the smoothness（顺畅）of ants on the move.No matter how many of them are going toward a place,theres never a hold-up.A new research paper shows how ants keep traffic flowing by changing their behavior to meet changing conditions.For their experiments,researchers from the University of Toulouse focused on Argentine ants,animals that often move from colony（群落）to colony depending on where the food is.Making use of Argentine ants talent for fast travel,the researchers built bridges connecting their colonies.The bridges were different in width from a fifth to three-quarters of an inch.The colonies,too,were of different sizes,ranging from 400 to more than 25,000 ants.Then the researchers sat back andmonitoredthe traffic.To their surprise,even when those narrower bridges were full of ants,there were no traffic accidents.When the number of ants on the bridge increased,ants seemed to be able to understand the situation and adjusted（调整）their speed accordingly to avoid making the traffic flow stop.the authors note.Moreover,ants avoided entering a busy road and made sure that the bridge was never too packed to cross.”The lesson for humans?The traffic problem may lie in our inability to adjust our driving habits for the good of the whole.Driving is fun when there are few cars on the road.Then the traffic moves very slowly.And yet,some impatient driver still acts like hes alone on the road.The research suggests that projects,like the ever-widening of highways,may never free us from traffic jams.As long as we drive along with our own habits,no matter how many other people are on the road,well always end up in a traffic jam.Indeed,less space may actually be a good thing.It leaves less room for individual choice and forces us to take a page from the driving book of ants.1.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The results of the experiments.B.The purpose of the experiments C.The preparation of the experiments.D.The requirements of the experiments 2.What does the underlined word monitor in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.watch and check.B.seek and improve C.design and plan D.discuss and practise 3.What is the best title for the text?A.Is widening highways a solution?B.Why dont ants need traffic lights?C.Can we learn safe driving from ants?D.What can ants teach us about traffic jams?B Richard Campbell is a secondary school student.He is15 years old.He lives in a small town in the north ofEngland.Every morning,he gets up at eight

much.His favourite subjects are English and geography,but he doesnt like maths because he is not good at it.Richard and all his friends spend the whole day at school.Lunch is at one oclock.He doesnt like the food that the school serves.This is why he often brings a packed lunch from home.He always has his lunch in the dining hall,but some of his friends sometimes eat in the courtyard or outside

teachers enjoy better healthas adults,according to research published by an American research center.“This research suggests that improving students relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success,said Jinho Kim,a professor atKoreaUniversityand author of the study.Itcould also bring about healthimplicationsin the long run.”Previous research has suggested that teens social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood.However,it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal（因果的）-it could be that other factors,such as different family backgrounds,might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood.Also,most research has focused on teens relationships with their peers（同龄人）,rather than on their relationships with teachers.To explore those questions further,Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study,a national study in theU.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood.The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）.As teens,participants answered questions,like“How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?As adults,participants were asked about their physical and mental health.Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s.However,when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together,only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students.This is not something that most teachers receive much training in,Kim said,“but it should be.”8.What does the underlined word“implications in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Recipes.B.Habits.C.Benefits.D.Risks.9.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Poor health in adolescence.B.Limitations of the previous research.C.Teens relationships with their peers.D.Factors affecting health in adulthood.10.What does Kims research show?A.Good adult health depends on teens good teachers.B.Good family background promises long-term adult health.C.Healthy peer relationships leads to students academic success.D.Positive student-teacher relationship helps students adult health.11.Where does this text probably come from?A.A health magazine.B.A medical report.C.A term paper.D.A family survey.D Doctors are known to be terrible pilots.They dont listen because they already know it all,I was lucky:I became a pilot in 1970,almost ten years before I graduated from medical school.I didnt realize then,but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon.I loved flying.As 1 flew bigger,faster planes,and in worse weather,I learned about crew resource management(机组资源管理),or CRM,a new idea to make flying safer.It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result,regardless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980.Not long after that,an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather.The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready.The attending doctor was flying;I was safety pilot.He was so busy because of the bad turn,he had forgotten to put the landing gear(起落架)down.He was a better pilotand my bossso it felt unusual to speak up.But I had to:Our lives were in danger.I put aside my uneasiness sand said,we need to put the landing gear down now!That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM,and Ive used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up.It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite,the doctor doesnt overreact,which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.So when Im in the operating room,I ask for ideas and help from others.Sometimes theyre not willing to speak up.But I hope that if I continue to encourage them,someday someone will keep me from landing gear up.12.What does the author say about doctors in general?A.They like flying by themselves.B.They are quick learners of CRM.C.They pretend to be good pilots.D.They are unwilling to take advice.13.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when .A.his boss landed the plane too late B.he was in charge of a flying task C.he saved the plane by speaking up D.his boss operated on a patient 14.In the last paragraph landing gear up probably means .A.following flying requirements B.making a mistake that may cost lives C.listening to what fellow doctors say D.overreacting to different opinions 15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.CRM:A New Way to Make Flying Safe B.A Pilot-Turned Doctor C.The Making of a Good Pilot D.Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor 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 七选五(10)Everybody knows the importance of drinking enough
