2021 届武汉高级中学高三英语第三次联考试题及答案 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 National Disability Insurance Scheme(方案)The National Disability Insurance Scheme(NDIS)will transform the way Queenslanders with disability are supported and change the way disability services are funded and delivered.Under the scheme,Queenslanders with disability will have choice and control over how they access support and who delivers them.They will also have certainty that they will be supported throughout their lifetime to achieve their personal goals.The NDIS will have an effect on the following programs.School Transport Assistance Program for Students with Disability The NDIS will not disrupt existing services for qualified students.The Queensland Government will also continue to provide school transport assistance for students with disability who are not qualified to receive funding via the NDIS.For more information about the School Transport Assistance Program,and to check your qualification,visit the Education and Training website.Taxi Subsidy(补助金)Scheme The Queensland Governmenthas lengthened the Taxi Subsidy Scheme(TSS)membership for NDIS qualified members to 31 October,2022.This will allow more time to solve transport support arrangements under the Commonwealths NDIS.You can find more information about the TSS and your qualification on the TransLink website.Disability Parking Permit Scheme No changes will be made to the Disability parking permit scheme when the NDIS is introduced inQueensland.Current arrangements for this scheme will be maintained.You can find more information on this scheme,and check your qualification,on the Queensland Government website.Public Transport Concessions for People with Disability There will be no change to concessions on public transport for people with disability when the NDIS is introduced inQueensland.TransLink will continue to ensure concessions are provided for disabled persons travelling on public transport inQueenslandwhen the NDIS is introduced.You can find more information about public transport discounts for people with disability,and check your qualification,on the TransLink website,1.Which program helps drive the disabled to and from school?A.Taxi Subsidy Scheme.B.Disability Parking Permit Scheme.C.Public Transport Concessions for People with Disability.D.School Transport Assistance Program for Students with Disability.2.What can we learn about Taxi Subsidy Scheme?A.The scheme is for parking permit.B.The existing membership can be effective for longer time.C.There is no change to current arrangements for the scheme.D.The NDIS will not break off existing services for qualified students.3.What do the four programs have in common?A.They are all related to transport.B.They are all largely affected by NDIS.C.They all can be checked on the same website.D.They all provide discounts for disabled persons.B Did you know people who live in different parts ofChinahave different habits and preferences?For example,people from southernChinaprefer to eat vegetables,while people from northChinalike to eat meat.According to a new study in a journal,gene variations(变异)might be responsible for these differences.Researchers fromChinas BGI collected genetic information from 141,431 Chinese women,who came from 31 provinces and consisted of 36 ethnic minority groups.They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have developed,affecting their food preferences,immunities(免疫力)to illness and physical features.A variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people.It helps people metabolize(新陈代谢)fatty acids,which suggests a diet that is rich in flesh.This is due to climate differences.Northern Chinais at a higher latitude.This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in.Therefore,northerners tend to eat more meat.The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups.Most people in southernChinacarry the gene CR1,which protects against malaria.Malaria was once quite common in southernChina.In order to survive,the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease.However,people in the south are also more sensitive to certain illnesses,as they lack the genes to stop them.Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners.Most northerners have the ABCC11 gene,which causes dry earwax,less body smell and fewer sweats.These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments.Southerners are less likely to have this gene,as it did not develop in their population.4.What did the new study focus on?A.Regions.B.Eating habits.C.Gene variations.D.Ethnic minority groups.5.What is the main function of the gene FADS2?A.It helps store fat.B.It helps digest meat.C.It helps gain weight.D.It helps treat an illness.6.According to the study,most northerners _.A.sweat less frequently B.are immune to malaria C.prefer vegetables to meat D.are more sensitive to climates 7.How many differences did the study find related to genes?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.C“Theyre harming your brain.”“Theyre ruining your eyes.”“Theyre turning you into a violent person.”The words said publicly against video games are so common,but are these worries founded on actual science?Countless studies have offered different opinions on whether video games are bad for you.Weve rounded up the most notable reports and studies below,so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself.In 2013,psychologist(心理学家)Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games on the brains of young adults and found that several areas became bigger than before.These areas are connected with highercognitive functions(认知功能),memory formation andfinemotor(精细运动)function.Last year,psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent when offline.Dr.Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Association said that there was a relation between violent video game use and increases in violent behaviour.Dr.Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain&Cognitive Sciences.Bavelier presented the audience with a colour-word test,where non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test,and those who spend long periods playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours.“Actually,those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention,”said Bavelier,“and one part of attention which is also improved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of objects.”“So,in a sense,when we think about the influence of video games on the brain,its very similar to the influence of wine on the health.There are some very poor uses of wine.There are some very poor uses of video games.But when drunk in reasonable amounts,and at the right age,wine can be very good for health,”said Bavelier.8.What can be learned from Simone Kuhns study？A.Video games make you happier.B.Video games make your brain grow.C.Video games play a key role in memory.D.Video games teach you how to learn fast.9.What was Dr.Mark Appelbaums attitude towards video games？A.He was against them.B.He was hopeful of them.C.He was in favour of them.D.He was uncertain about them.10.Which of the following may Dr.Daphne Bavelier agree with？A.Video games fix attention problems.B.Video games make kids do well in exams.C.Video games encourage violent behaviour.D.Video games help increase colour knowledge.11.Why are the uses of wine mentioned in the last paragraph？A.To remind people to avoid video games.B.To show the disadvantages of video games.C.To help people learn more about video games.D.To ask people to make good use of video games.D A world in which extinct creatures could be brought back to life came a step closer yesterday.Australian scientists have managed to extract a gene from a preserved sample of a Tasmanian tiger and make it active.Thebreakthroughhas left them dreaming that one day they will be able to recreate the animal,which died out more than 70 years ago.And if it can be done with the Tasmanian tiger,it may also be possible to resurrect(复活)creatures that have been extinct for far longer.“There used to be a time when extinction meant forever,but no more,”said Professor Mike Archer.“We are now able to seriously challenge whether those animals that have gone for ever.What has been achieved is a very important step in bringing back those animals that are extinct.And while I think that technically it is still pretty difficult at the moment,we can now see the possibilities.Im personally convinced that the Tasmanian tiger will be brought back to life in my lifetime.”The breakthrough came after nine years of experiments by scientists at the University of Melbourne,who extracted a gene from one of several tigers preserved in alcohol in a Melbourne museum.They removed the equivalent gene from a mouse embryo implanted the tiger gene and then watched as the mouse continued to grow normally,suggesting the tiger gene had been activated.Team leader Dr.Andrew Pask said it was the first time DNA from an extinct species had been used to“induce(引起)a functional response in another living organism”.However,the animals entire gene structure would have to be revived in the same way to even begin the possibility of bringing the Tasmanian tiger back from the dead.Mick Mooney,a wildlife officer ofthe Tasmanian Government,was worried that such developments could encourage peoples indifference to the protection of endangered species.“If people think that we can bring animals back to life after theyve gone,they will start saying that there is nothing to worry about because we can fix it up later.”12.What does the underlined word“breakthrough”in the l paragraph refer to?A.Scientists have recreated new animals.B.Scientists have resurrected endangered animal.C.It has turned out that some creatures would not go extinct.D.A tiger gene has been extracted successfully and activated.13.Scientists are carrying out the experiments in order to _.A.bring extinct animals back to life B.transplant the genes of tigers into other animals C.find out what factors lead to the animals extinction D.find a new way to extract animals DNA 14.Mike Archer thinks that _.A.scientists now have no technological difficulty reconnecting extinct animals B.itll be a century or so before a Tasmanian tiger walks on the earth again C.humans have come closer in reconnecting extinct animals D.reconnecting extinct animals is impossible 15.We can learn from Mick Mooncys words that_.A.he thought it unnecessary to worry about endangered animals B.his opinion is in contrast with that of the Tasmanian Government C.he thought people should be encouraged to protect endangered animals D.he is concerned that bringing extinct animals back to life may have a negative effect 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 Some may think that having feelings of
