2021 届无锡市宜兴树人中学高三英语月考试题及答案解析 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 Children under the age of 18 will be allowed up to three hours per week to play video games,according to a notice issued by Chinas National Press and Publication Administration.Online game companies are required to provide services to minors from8 to 9 p.m.on Fridays,Saturdays,Sundays and legal holidays as a way to safeguard their physical and mental health.Children are playing more and more online games these days.Is it time to limit their online gaming time?What role do parents have?Readers share their opinions.Rizlared Online games are addictive,but if children are taught how to manage in a sensible and responsible manner then it is no longer a threat(威胁).To achieve this,parents need to set examples for not being glued to their phones.Teaching is and always will be the best solution to such problems.Andrew Good policy.By limiting time spent on online games,kids can spend time doing more useful things to develop their potential.They can go outside and run,jump and swim instead of sitting on a couch at home and playing with a smart phone.Adam It is often seen that parents argue with children over cellphones.Most parents can hardly set and enforce the time limit for its daily usage.Some forcibly take away their cellphones,but it will ruin trust and relationship.Even worse,it will make their kids hate them.Pink Excessive(过度的）gaming is purely a waste of time and energy for minors and has a negative effect on both physical and mental health.The gaming industry should not put profit-flaking interests as its priority(优先事项).They should act in a socially responsible way toprovide an environment for children to ensure their well-being and development.Lauren There would be a loophole(漏洞).Children could use their parents or other adults IDs to avoid real-name registration,thus making it impossible to put this policy in effect.Parents ly need to strengthen guidance and supervision to keep their children from gaming addiction.1.What should kids do according to Andrew?A.Play online games.B.Play with a smart phone.C.Study all the time.D.Go in for outside activities.2.What does Pink advise the gaming industry to do?A.Pay attention to its profit.B.Focus on kids health.C.Be responsible for kids surroundings.D.Persuade kids lo play more games.3.What role do parents have according to the passage?A.They keep hold of their phones.B.They set examples for their kids.C.They limit their kids time.D.They blame kids for addiction.B 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.4.What does the underlined word“scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Start.B.Cleaning.C.Shake.D.Example.5.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.6.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.7.What type of writing is this text?A.An advertisement.B.A review.C.A news report.D.A practical guide.C Although computer technology is often necessary today,using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does.You can potentially remember more by handwriting,according to a new study.The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time.The new study set out to answer one question:How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information?In all,24 participants took part.Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard.While performing these tasks,each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes next to their head.It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors.Those sensors recorded the participants brainwaves.The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task.And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didnt.Audrey van der Meer,the new studys leader,says this suggests that when we write by hand,we remember better.“This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain.The increased brain activity gives the brain more hooks to hang your memories on,”she explains.Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking.“Rather than typing blindly,the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down.Then,key words can be interlinked by boxes,arrows and small drawings,”she adds.This study does not recommend banning digital devices.In fact,its authors point out,computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society.Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs(such as if they have trouble using their hands)and typing beats writing when it comes to speed,they add.8.Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study?A.To record their brainwaves B.To inform them of their tasks C.To allow them to focus on writing D.To protect their heads like hair nets 9.What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain?A.Why handwriting is more complex than typing B.Why the brain works when it comes to learning C.Why handwriting helps remember information D.Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking 10.What is the studys authors view on typing?A.It relieves peoples hands B.It remains vital and helpful C.It is not worth recommending D.It is more challenging than writing 11.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A.How Can You Remember New Information?B.Handwriting Benefits Health in the LongRun C.Should Typing Take the Place of Handwriting?D.Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing D Every day in the United States animals are beaten,ignored,or forced to struggle for survival.Left in poor conditions with no food or water,they have little hope as they live out their days without the mercy they deserve.Some are found and rescued,given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be;others arent so lucky.To grow as a nation,we must fight for these abused(受虐待的)animals rights and seriously punish heartless owners.One of the first steps in protecting animals and creating effective cruelty laws is to know what animal cruelty actually is.There are two categories:passive cruelty and active cruelty.The first involves acts of omission,meaning the abuse happens as a result of ignorance or lack of action.Passive cruelty might seem less serious,but that is not the case;it can lead to terrible pain and suffering,and finally death.Examples include starvation,inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions,and the failure to get medical care.Passive cruelty is sometimes due to the owners ignorance,so many animal control officers will first try to educate ignorant owners on how to properly care for animals before giving them a citation(传票)or putting them in prison.Active cruelty,on the other hand,is more well-known and disturbing.Sometimes referred to as non-accidental injury,this type of abuse involves purposeful harm on an animal in order to feel more powerful or gain control.Active cruelty against animals should be taken very seriously,since it can be a sign that a person has serious psychological issues and may commit more acts of violence-possibly against humans.It is hard to tell just what drives people to harm innocent animals.Most animal abusers find some sort of achievement or power in torturing a victim that they know cant fight back.While not all animal abusers become serial killers,it is important to take every case seriously.As a nation we need to make it our right to come together and ensure the safety of our beloved pets.As Margaret Mead once said,“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,committed citizens can change the world.Indeed,it is the only thing that ever has.”12.What is the first step to do with the passive cruelty abusers?A.To throw them into prison.B.To bring the case to the court.C.To teach them how to treat animals.D.To give them a strong warning.13.We can learn from Para.3 that active cruelty _.A.is actually a sign of power or control B.has been taken seriously in the nation C.may lead to serious psychological problems D.may cause acts of violence against humans 14.What is the authors attitude towards animal cruelty?A.Uncertain.B.Doubtful.C.Concerned.D.Pessimistic.15.The author wrote this passage to _.A.warn those heartless pet owners B.tell people the harm of animal cruelty C.explain the reasons why people harm animals D.call on people to fight for the abused animals 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 What do you imagine when you think of a forest?You probably
