2021 届东莞市万江第三中学高三英语第四次联考试题及答案解析 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 Bob and Sue Harvey spent nine years as resident fellows in a dormitory at Sanford and in their bookVirtual Reality and The College Freshman,they write“The Freshman oftenfaces an identity problem during the first semester.”College is a more pressured environment than it used to be,in part because the academic gap between high school and college has increased.Many college freshmen have never had to make independent decisions about sex,drugs and alcohol.Most dont know how to manage their time or money.They often feel lonely and overwhelmed,resulting in anxiety and depression.Nancy Corbin,director of clinical service for student-counseling(咨询)services at Iowa State University,says her office is seeing a significant increase in requests for counseling from freshmen who are having trouble making the adjustment to college life.She says older teenagers increasingly lack the skills to deal with personal problems that arent easily defined or fixed.And they get homesick but have a hard time admitting it.Parents and high schools can make things easier on freshmen by preparing them differently.For example,by teaching them to budget their hours and dollars.The Harveys think high schools should offer a college-life course.“Parents need to focus more on relationship and personal issues and less on how many sheets and towels to take,”they say.Many homesick freshmen think theyll be regarded as failures if they come home before Thanksgiving.So parents can help by letting them know theyre welcome to return if they feel the need.In the meantime,parents have to find new ways to keep in touch with their college kids.One of the best ways is e-mail.Its less unpleasant and less expensive than constant phone calls and is more likely to be answered than a handwritten letter.1.Why is the first semester difficult for freshmen in college?A.Because they often fail in exams.B.Because they lack time and money.C.Because they are too homesick to make new friends.D.Because they have to settle personal issues on their own.2.In the last paragraph,it is suggested that _.A.parents should stop buying anything for their kids B.parents should develop a good relationship with their kids C.parents should be taught how to send e-mails to their kids D.parents should work with high schools in college-life courses 3.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A.Hard Life of College Freshmen B.Approaches to Trouble in College C.Freshmens Adaptation Problems D.A Strange Phenomenon in College B Mark Bertram,46,lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt.“Its life-changing but its not life-ending,”he says.“Doing work is harder now.Everything is just a little different.”After two surgeries and occupational therapy,Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano,a tattoo(纹身)artist,to create fingernail tattoos.The idea made everyone in the studio laughuntil they saw the final result.“The mood changed,”Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio.“Everything turned from funny to wow.”When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos,a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one could believe their eyes,he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.The viral photo pushed Catalano,40,further into the world of paramedical(辅助医疗的)tattooing.Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop.They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online.Using flesh-toned(肉色的)inks and a needle,Catalano transforms his clients view of themselves.Leslie Pollan,32,a dog breeder in Oxford,was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014.She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.“Plastic surgery gave me no hope,”she says.“So I looked for other options.”She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano.He hid Pollans lip scar,giving her back a piece of her confidence.“You dont understand until youve been through it,”Pollan says.“It made me have a different look on life.”Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos.While he charges$100 per regular tattoo,he doesnt charge for paramedical tattoos.“Financially,it doesnt make sense,”Catalano says.“But every time I see that emotion from my customers,Im 100 percent sure this is something that I cant stop doing.”4.What best describes peoples attitude when first hearing of fingernail tattoos?A.Indifferent.B.Ridiculous.C.Confident.D.Surprised.5.What did Catalano do to help Leslie Pollan?A.He drew an artistic puppy.B.He inked scars on her face.C.He created a lip tattoo.D.He performed plastic surgeries on her.6.What can we infer from the passage?A.Cosmetic surgery is of no use.B.Tattoos earn Mark Bertram a good fame.C.Catalano is a kind and generous person.D.Fingernail tattoos are popular around the world.7.What could be the best title for the text?A.A Life-changing Event B.Miracle Tattoos C.An Amazing Artist D.A Promising Business C A student had to get his long hair cut off in a middle school in GuangDong Province.It was talked a lot among teachers and students.In fact,all schools have their own rules.In most schools,boy students are not allowed to have long hair while girls are not allowed to dye their hair.And most school rules say that students should wear their school uniforms at school.And students must obey these rules so that they can get healthy development at school.But some students have disagreements.They think that boy students having long hair doesnt mean that they are not good students.They want to show their own personality.They think that they would look cool too if they had long hair and the hairstyles like their favorite stars.A girl student thought that she would look much more beautiful if she had brown hair.So she had her dark hair dyed brown one day.When she went back to school the next day,the teacher was very angry with her.She said that she worked hard at her lessons and did well in every subject.She just didnt know why the teacher didnt allow her to dye her hair while women teachers can.It is not wrong for teenagers to love stars hairstyles or wear their favorite clothes.However,a school has its own rules for all the students to obey so that the school can be in good order.Students should not break the rules at school.8.What arent boy students allowed to do in most middle schools according to this passage?A.To have long hair.B.To wear uniforms.C.To like famous stars.D.To show their own personalities.9.Why did the girl make her hair brown?A.Because she wanted to be cool.B.Because she thought that she would look much more beautiful.C.Because she wanted to make her teacher angry.D Because women teachers dyed their hair.10.What does the writer think of these school rules?A.The students should be against them.B.They are bad for students.C.They can make schools in good order.D.They cant make students grow healthily.11.What is the passage mainly about?A.Hair styles and clothes.B.Schoolboys and schoolgirls.C.Students and famous stars.D.School rules.D A team of researchersfrom theUniversityofColorado Boulderhave created a revolutionary type of robotic muscles.They are strong and flexible at the same time,can feel the movements they perform and,whenever they suffer damage,they can self-heal.However,what is best about them is probably the fact that they are extremely cheap to manufacture.The robotic muscles have been called actuators,and have drawn inspiration from real-life muscles.By creating robots equipped with this kind of actuators,researchers would allowthem to perform movements just like human muscles.To make the robotic muscles work,they filled some flexible material with electrodes(电极)and with liquid and oil.Then,they applied some electricity,and the liquid and oil started moving around the electrodes and powered them.This way,the robotic muscles started contracting and relaxing just like real muscles,but a lot quicker.Researchers also took inspiration from the variety of human muscles,and created more types of actuators,each of them performing a different movement.They called these robotic muscles HASEL(Hydraulically-Amplified Self-healing Electrostatic).However,they are superior to biological muscles as they are stronger,faster,and more flexible.Even the researchers were amazed they could develop such technology.Eric Acome,the author of one of the studies,explained what is unique about the robotic muscles.“The ability to create electrically powered soft actuators that lift a gallon of water at several times per second is something we havent seen before.”These muscles are special because they are also self-healing.This property is given by the liquid placed inside of them,which also gives them a lot more advantages than those mechanisms(机械)using solids.In the end,the material which keeps the liquid,the oil and the electrodes is extremely cheap.It is a type of polymer(聚合物)similar to the one used for potato chips bags,and can be manufactures for only 10 cents.12.What can we learn about actuators?A.They can heal on their own.B.They are biological muscles.C.They can not move like human muscles.D.They are slower to react than real muscles.13.What do actuators use to directly power electrodes?A.Solids.B.Liquid and oil.C.A type of polymer.D.Potato chips bags.14.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The origin of actuators.B.The opinions on actuators.C.The advantages of actuators.D.The significance of actuators.15.In which part of a newspaper will the textmost probably appear?A.Health.B.Culture.C.Education.D.Technology.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 For many,public speaking especially in English speaking competitions can be quite challenging,but it doesnt mean we cant improve.Here is Li Aiyun,a teacher atNanjingForeignLanguageSchoolwho offers three tips to help us.Lets take a look!Donot over prepare.Practicing may help speakers not feel as nervous,but over-preparing can cause problems.When speakers over prepare their speeches,_16_.Sometimes young speakers will try to analyze a topic from an adults view,using complex words they dont understand.Listen to the questions or topics carefully.Though speeches can be prepared in advance,_17_.Listening carefully can help you be an effective,focused speaker.Li gave an example.“A contestant talked about her dogs bravery,and I asked if she could offer an example.Instead of talking about bravery,she talked about different types of dogs such as guide dogs and police dogs._18_.”Li said._19_.Compassion(同理心)is important for public speakers._20_.Li gave another example:When a contestant mentioned that hitting a snowman is fun,Li asked,“Have your ever thought about the snowmans feelings?”Without consideration,the boy replied,“Snowmen do not have emotions.”As Li put it,“Communication is the final purpose of public speaking.”The speaker who shows compassion is the one who is remembered.A.Put yourself in others shoes B.Prepare in advance as much as possible C.It helps the audience relate to the speaker D.It was not to the point,and not an effectiveanswer E.he could have a much better interaction with the audience F.there is still the challenge of answering questions from judges G.they are very likely to
