2021 届安徽省阜阳第一中学高三英语下学期期末试卷及答案解析 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 Concerns about health,animals and the environment are leading more people to remove meat from their diet.Plant-based meat alternatives(替代品)increasingly appear in supermarkets and restaurants.But what some people call clean meat-meat grown from cells in a laboratoryis still an idea that is just beginning.More than 24 companies are testing lab-grown fish,beef and chicken.These businesses hope to enter the alternative meat market,which could be worth$140 billion by 2029.One of the companies,Shiok Meats,grows its product by taking shrimp cells and keeping them at a fixed temperature.They are then given nutrients in a solution(溶液).The cells become meat in four to six weeks.This lab-grown meats price is high.One kilogram of it now costs$5,000,said Shiok Meats chief executive Sandhya Sriram.At that cost,a single pork and shrimp dumpling could be as much as$300.Sriram,avegetarian,hopes to cut the cost to$50 for one kilogram by the end of this year.“We are looking at next year,so we might be the first ever company to launch a cell-based meat product in the world,”Sriram said.“Shiok Meats still needs approval from the citys food regulator,and that matters the most at present.”Although people increasingly demand meat alternatives,cell-based meat companies still faceresistance(抵制)to their products.In Singapore,some people said they would give lab grown meat a second thought.“I may not exactly dare to eat it,but I do find the idea appealing because the animals in the oceans are declining,”said 60-year-old Pet Loh,while sheshopped for shrimps in a Singapore market.Any alternative way of making animal protein without harming the environment is positive,said Paul Teng,a specialist in agriculture technology at Nanyang Technological University.But,he added,more studies are needed to understand any negative result of making cellular protein.4.Why are more people eating less meat?A.Because lab-grown meat has more nutrition.B.Because plant-based food is getting popular.C.Because meat in the market is increasingly expensive.D.Because health and the environment are their concerns.5.What is the most important for Shiok Meats at present according to Sriram?A.Bringing down the price.B.Gaining consumers acceptance.C.Obtaining official permission.D.Getting ahead of other companies.6.Which word best describes Pet Lohs attitude towards lab-grown meat?A.Doubtful.B.Uncaring.C.Negative.D.Positive.7.What is the text mainly about?A.A new way to make a fortune.B.Negative results of lab-grown meat.C.New research findings on healthy diet.D.A meat alternative grown in labs.C Its 13:30 and 28-year-old Marten Pella s smart phone starts pinging,a signal that its time for us to stop working around his living room table and instead start our workout routine together.A cartoon character wearing bright red shorts on video begins instructing us to do star-jumps and sit-ups around his apartment.Pella,a research assistant at Stockholm University,is part of the Hoffice movement,which invites workers-freelancers（自由职业者）or full-time employees who can do their jobs remotelyto work at each others homes to increase productivity and enjoy an active social life.Those attending Hoffice events advertised on Facebook are typically asked to work silently in 45-minute blocks,before taking short breaks together to exercise,or simply chatting over a coffee.In addition,each participant shares daily objectives with the rest of the group upon arrival,and is invited to report back on whether or not they have achieved them at the end of the day.“Often when I am alone,I can work focused for a couple of hours but then Im easily distracted（分心）.The help of others makes me so much more disciplined.”says Pella,who attends Hoffice events as both a guest and a host.Lunches mean networking and connecting with new contacts.“People are coming from really different areas and have different professions so there can be really interesting discussions,”he says.The Hoffice movement has grown quickly since it was founded in 2014 by Swedish psychologist Christofer Franzen,now 37.He had been giving lectures on the benefits of collective（集体的）intelligence,but realised he was spending most of his own time working alone at his kitchen table.“I wanted to test more structured home co-working with friends in similar situations,”he says.Franzen says that holding events in houses and apartments creates a unique atmosphere,because theres a sense of community and desire to contribute.Hes looking for ways to expand the social value of Hoffice,by matching up members with relevant skills to share and even encouraging jobseekers to join its gatherings.8.Where is Pella when his smart phone starts pinging?A.In his own home.B.In his office.C.In another persons home.D.At Stockholm University.9.What do people attending Hoffice events do first when they meet?A.Watch an exercise video.B.Work silently for 45 minutes.C.Tell each other their daily plans.D.Report what they have achieved.10.What does Franzen really mean by saying“friends in similar situations”?A.They usually work alone.B.They often give lectures.C.They study collective intelligence.D.They have to work at a kitchen table.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Sharing Comfortable Workplaces B.A New Way to Make New Friends C.Benefits
