2021 届佛山第十中学高三英语第四次联考试题及参考答案 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 Speaking with people on the phone is pretty rare these days.Most people use e-mail or messaging apps when they need to communicate with someone.Sometimes,though,making a call is unavoidable.This simple act can actually be a nightmare for some people.Their hearts race and their hands sweat at the very thought.If this sounds familiar to you,you might be one of the millions of people who suffer from telephobiathe fear of speaking over the phone.Telephobia is a form of social anxiety,although people who feel perfectly comfortable in social situations may also experience telephobia.When speaking face-to-face,we give off lots of facial or bodily cues that help each other follow the conversation.This is not the case over the phone.And the idea of speaking into this void（真空）makes people terrified that they will freeze up,stumble over their words（失言）,or lose control of the conversation and look foolish In fact,telephobia is very similar to thefear people feel before putting on a performance in front of a big audience.However,there are things that one suffering from thin condition can do to reduce this fear and make phone calls at least somewhat bearable.One thing that those with telephobia can do before a call in smile.It may sound silly,but smiling before doing something stressful can help you feel more relaxed.It wont delete the anxiety altogether,but it will take the edge off it.Similarly,imagining how the call will go before you make it can also help things go more smoothly.Running through a positive conversation in your head will make you feel less nervous and may help you predict any possible problems.Theres no need to spend hours on this,just a few minutes thinking up a general idea of what you want to say.You can even write down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking points.This is particularly useful for dealing with the fear of not being able to express yourself naturally.And finally,when faced with receiving a call,you dont always have to pick up.Theres nothing wrong with calling the person back later when you feel more comfortable.So the next time your phone starts ringing,rememberspeaking on the phone doesnt have to make you sweat.The important thing is to be aware of your fear and take steps to deal with it.1.According to the article,which situation can cause a feeling similar lo telephobia?A.Speaking face-to-face to a good friend.B.Performing in front of a large audience.C.Running in a race without proper shoes.D.Using a messaging app while on the subway.2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to deal with telephobia?A.Imagining how the call will go before you make it.B.Standing on the edge of a tall building while making a call.C.Calling someone back later instead of answering their phone calls right away.D.Writing down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking points.3.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To present ways to ease telephobia.B.To explain the development of telephobia C.To introduce the influence of telephobia.D.To give the reason why someone suffers from telephobia.B One-year-old Tallulah turned purple and stopped moving after the sweet became stuck in her throat.Her mum Leigh-Anne said the drama began during a visit to her grandmas house when her grandparents gave her older kids some sweets.“Then at about 4:45 pm,Tallulah started to chokewe all went into a panic.”“It seemed like it went on for ages.Not one of us knew

Street.She said,“I was waiting to go to work when I heard someone screaming for help,so I ran straight over.”The 17-year-old girl added,“Something just clicked and I went into auto mode.The little girl was completely limp,so I checked her airways and tilted(使倾斜)her over and started hitting her back.I turned her round and tapped on her chest,then after what felt like forever she coughed up the

was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again,the Nez Perce territory(领土)covered about 17 million acres,covering parts of Washington,Oregon,and Idaho.Butthat was a brief sweet history.In September 1805,when Lewis and Clark came off theRockieson their westward journey,the entire exploring party was hungry and ill-too weak to defend themselves.Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them,they could have put an end to the Lewis and Clark expedition there on the banks ofClearwater River.Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery.Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans.But white mens greed for land and gold finally broke the friendship.In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens ofWashingtonTerritoryinvited the Nez Perce to a peace conference.He said there were a great many white people in the country,and many more would come.But the Chief of the tribe at that time,Old Joseph,replied,“Take away your paper.I will not touch it with my hand.”Things were quiet for a while after that,but not for long.When Old Joseph died,the chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph.In the late 1870s,government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave theWallowaValleyand then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the white soldiers.After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1,600 miles to-wards Canada in an attempt to retreat(撤退)north,Young Joseph,gave in to the United States Army.Here was his famous statement,“Hear me my chiefs.I am tired;my heart is sick and sad.From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.”In 1885,Chief Joseph was sent along with manyof his band to the Colville Reservation inWashingtonwhere Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years,at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reservation.(保留地，居留地)8.What isTRUEabout the Lewis andClark expedition?A.They were well cared for by the Nez Perce.B.They ended their expedition on the banks ofClearwater River.C.They started the first battle with the Nez Perce.D.They were the first Americans to travel from theAtlanticto the Pacific.9.What ended the friendship between the Nez Perce and the Whites?A.Old Josephs proud manner B.White mens increasing demand for land and gold C.A growing number of white men in the land D The breakdown of the peace talk 10.Young Joseph gave in at last because _.A.he grew older B.he was terribly ill C.he hated the war D.he lost other chiefs support 11.The passage might be followed by a paragraph about _.A.the customs and traditions of the Nez Perce Indians B.the last years of Chief Joseph in the Colville Reservation C.lasting fights between the Nez Perce and the whites D.constant conflicts between the Nez Perce and other tribes D Humans are the only creature that gets around by standing up and putting one foot in front of the other.Our ability to walk upright has allowed humankind to travel great distances and survive changing climates,environments and landscapes.Countless scientific studies have found that walking is really good for us and this simple act can provide a number of healthimplications,which help people live longer.In fact,a walking routine,if done properly,might be the only exercise people need.How much walking should one aim for?Youve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day.Thats about 5 miles.But contrary to popular belief,this recommendation doesnt come from science.Instead,itis from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer(计步器)in Japan.Perhaps because its a round number and easy to remember,it stuck.Since the 1960s,researchers have studied the 10,000-steps-a-day standard and have turned up mixed results.Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal,its not fit for all.For instance,a recent Harvard University study involving more than 16,000 senior women found that those who got at least 4,400 steps a day greatly reduced their risk of dying early when compared with less active women.The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7,500 steps.This 7,500 mark isnt surprising:Its similar to common public health recommendations,such as the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate(适度的)physical activity a week for adults.12.What does the underlined word“implications”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Benefits B.Problems.C.Habits.D.Manners.13.Where does the 10,000-steps-a-day standard come from?A.A Harvard University study.B.Science research on health.C.A pedometer advertisement.D.Public health recommendation.14.What can we know from the last paragraph?A.7,500-steps-a-day standard is the best choice for all.B.More than 16,000 old people were involved in the study.C.Those who walk at least 4,400 steps a day wont die early.D.150-minute moderate exercise a week for adults is advised.15.What does the author mainly want to tell readers?A.The more you walk a day,the healthier you will be.B.We can benefit from continuous and proper walking.C.Walking upright helps humankind to explore the world.D.Advertisements can always tell us some scientific suggestions.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 Every child should know some basic first aid skills.This is true whether your child is
