2021 年莱阳市第五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 When the sun shines brightly,it provides a great chance to get outdoor things done.Like making hay!At least,that is what farmers from the past would say.Make hay while the sun shines.This idiom is very old,dating back to Medieval times.Rain would often ruin the process of making hay.So,farmers had no choice but to make hay when the sun was shining.Today,we all use this expression,not just farmers.When conditions are perfect to get something done,we can say,Its a good idea to make hay while the sun shines.In other words,you are taking advantage of a good situation or of good conditions.You are making the most of your opportunities.These all mean making hay while the sun shines.And sometimes we use this expression to mean we beat someone to the punch,or we got ahead of someone else.And other times you make hay while the sun shines to make good use of the chance to do something while it lasts.You are being opportunistic taking advantage of a good opportunity.For example,my friend Ozzy was sick for a week and could not go to work.So,his co-worker Sarah-who doesnt like him-took advantage of his illness and stole his project!Talk about making hay while the sun shines.Sometimes when you make hay while the sun shines you are staying ahead of a problem like in this example:Hey,do you want to go hiking with me and my friends this weekend?The weather is going to be beautiful!I wish I could.But I have to finish my taxes.Its the last weekend before theyre due.Oh,thats too bad.Wait.What about your taxes?My taxes are done.I was off from work a couple of weeks ago and made hay while the sun shined.I got all of it done!I wish I would have taken advantage of my time off last week_1_All I did was lay around thehouse.And thats all the time we have for these Words and Their Stories.But join us again next week.You can listen while youre making dinner or

a group,named WebConserva,is carrying out a project in the San Lucas Mountains with the help of coffee growers.The San Lucas area is one of the most unexplored places in Colombia,which is home to many thousands of species of animals and plants.Yet gold mining and coca farming have dealt a blow to its ecosystem.To limit additional development in the San Lucas area,the group helps coffee growers by linking them with processors from around the country.Colombia has more different kinds of living things than any other country except neighboring Brazil.In 2016,the Colombian government signed a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ending years of civil war.As a result,more land became accessible for use,with deforestation(毁林)coming along.Government information shows that in 2017,almost 220,000 hectares of forest were destroyed compared to around 124,000 hectares in 2015.To date,the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants,which costs about$77,000 dollars a year.WebConserva hopes that,in time,200 families will be included.At that level,20,000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected.In San Lucas,the families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals from the forests.In return,they receive$250 to$300 per 125 kilograms of coffee,an enviable amount there.Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part.His new coffee plantation(种植园)makes a barrier between cattle farms and forests where wild animals like the jaguar live and hunt.In this way,he doesnt have to kill wild animals to protect his cattle.Barajas said that pulling down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against his will.Now he feels that growing coffee lets him be astewardof the land.Im taking care of the environment,the forest and the animals,he said.8.Why does WebConserva set up the project?A.To help local farmers make money.B.To expand areas of coffee growing.C.To link processors with coffee growers.D.To conserve biodiversity in the Mountains.9.What happened after Colombias civil war was over?A.Colombia helped many needy families.B.Colombia lost lots of areas of forests.C.Colombia started to save damaged forests.D.Colombia became more peaceful than Brazil.10.Which is probably a function of Barajass coffee plantation?A.A method of protecting cattle and wildlife.B.A substitute for hunting of wild animals.C.A barrier between man and wild animals.D.A shelter for cattle against human hunters.11.What does the underlined word steward mean in the last paragraph?A.Farmer.B.Master.C.Guardian.D.Explorer.D Hidden beneath the surface in the roots of Earths astonishing and diverse plant life,there exists a biological superhighway linking together the members of the plant kingdom in what researchers call the wood wide web.The network is comprised of thin threads of fungus(真菌)that grow outwards underground up to a few meters from its partnering plant,meaning that all of the plant life within a region likely connected to one another.The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved,plants provide carbohydrates(碳水化合物)to the funguses and in exchange,the funguses aid in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of theSouthChinaAgriculturalUniversityfound that this also allowed for plants to warn one another of potential harm.The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on one another for upcoming danger.Like our Internet,this fungal connectivity is also full of crime.Some plants,such as Golden Marigolds have been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for water and light.Other plants,such as the Phantom Orchid,do not have the chlorophyll(叶绿素)and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrients through the network,allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on;however,this has not been conclusively made clear in experimentation.The more we learn about this phenomenon,the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change.Perhaps one day,we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.12.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To explain the aim of the web.B.To introduce the main topic.C.To give definition of diverse life.D.To show the importance of plants.13.The criminal behavior of plants can be seen as a way to_.A.compete for survival B.gather more water C.take in sunlight D.break natural rules 14.What does the last paragraph suggest?A.Animals can also feed on the fungus.B.Nutrient exchanges are too slight to detect.C.No experiment can prove the phenomenon.D.More needs to be done to work out the network.15.Which can be the best title for the text?A.The Partnership between Plants B.The Unknown Roots of the Earth C.The Superhighway Linking the Plants D.The Mysterious Map Changing the World 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 All over the world people are
