2021 届合肥市南陵路学校高三英语第三次联考试卷及答案 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 In September,something terrible happened on the west coast ofTasmania,Australia.As many as 380 pilot whales became stranded(搁浅)in shallow water there and later died.This might have beenAustralias largest stranding event on record,the BBC reported.But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon.For centuries,it has happened all over the world and has puzzled scientists.Scientists say the cause is often unknown.But they have offered many different explanations.Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying attention to where they are going.Others think the stranding has something to do with Earths geomagnetic field(地磁场).They say that a geomagnetic compass in whales brains controls their position.Unusual changes in Earths magnetic field can affect the whales compasses and send them in the wrong direction.Another explanation suggests that stranding is caused by the close relationships that whales have.Pilot whales travel in large groups.One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water.“And if one gets into trouble,the others will not leave,”said Sheryl Gibney,a leading biologist fromNew Zealand.“Some will come in and try to help,they get trapped on the beach,then more will come.”The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy(同情).Once they get stranded,they will likely die.According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of theUS,less than 10 percent of all stranded whales survive.1.What do we know about the stranding inAustralia?A.It happened on theeast coast ofAustralia.B.It caused the death of over 300 pilot whales.C.It is commonly seen

direction while traveling.D.What scientists are doing to save stranded whales.B Hi,Momis a hit inChina.Since its release in early February the movie has earned more than 5 billion yuan at the box

it would have been if humans hadnt rapidly heated the planet,new research has found.Advances in technology,fertilizer(化肥)use and global trade have allowed food production to keep pace with an increasing global population since the 1960s.But rising temperatures in this time have acted as a handbrake(手刹)to farming productivity of crops,according to the new research,published in Nature Climate Change.Productivity has actuallyslumpedby 21%since 1961,compared to if the world hadnt been affected by global heating.With the global population set to rise to more than 9 billion by 205,the UNS Food and Agriculture Organization has estimated that food production will have to increase by about 70%,with annual crop production increasing by almost 1 billion tons and meat production by more than200mtons a year by this point.Meanwhile,global temperatures are rising at a rate that scientists warn is extremely dangerous for human civilization.“The impact already is larger than I thought it would be,”said Ariel Ortiz-Bobea,an economist atCornellUniversitywho led the research.“It was a big surprise to me.The worry I have is that research and development in agriculture takes decades to translate into higher productivity.The projected temperature increase is so fast that I dont know if we are going to keep pace with that.”Weston Anderson,a researcher of food security(安全)and climate at Columbia University who didnt take part in the study,said the new research provides fresh insight into the importance of the impact upon agriculture.“The regions that this paper highlights as experiencing the largest reductions in agricultural productivity-CentralAmericaand theSahel-contain some of the least food secure countries in the world,which is a real concern,”he said.12.What does the underlined word“slumped”in paragraph 2 mean?A.Fallen.B.Gathered.C.Approached.D.Benefited.13.What is Ariel Ortiz-Bobea worried about?A.Fertilizer is used in food production.B.Population will rise to over 9 billion.C.Global temperatures are rising too fast.D.Agricultural research needs many years.14.What can we learn about Weston Anderson?A.He puts forward a different solution.B.He proposes carrying on with the research.C.He pays more attention to food insecure regions.D.He supports improving agricultural productivity.15.What is the best title for the text?A.The Impact of Growth in Farm Productivity B.Productivity in Agriculture is Growing C.Causes and Effects of Global Heating D.Rapid Global Heating is Hurting Farm Productivity 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
