2021 届哈尔滨工业大学附属中学高三英语下学期期中考试试卷及参考答案 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 Its a tempting habit for them to look at their smartphone rather than make eye contact with someone.There is so much to look at:photographs,social media feeds,messages and emails.No wonder they are glued to their screens.But is it good for them?There have been many claims about the damage looking at screens does to our eyesight.Some people feared staring at a small bright box could make us short-sighted.This is a particular concern for children and young people,who spend a higher percentage of time using electronic devices.BBC reporter,Rory Jones,says,“There is enough evidence that no matter how long teenagers are spending looking at screens,they come across information about issues such as anorexia and self-harm that could prove damaging to their mental health.”But a new study says time in front of computers and phones might not be as bad for young people as many think.Research by the Oxford Internet Institute examined data from more than 17,000 teenagers in theUK,Irelandand theUnited States.Their study concluded that most links between life satisfaction and social media use were tiny,accounting for less than 1%of a teenagers wellbeing.Professor Przybylski,director of research,said,“99.75%of a persons life satisfaction has nothing to do with their use of social media.”The research found that family,friends and school life all had a greater impact on wellbeing.So,does this mean young people can spend longer looking at social media?TheOxfordresearchers are confident about its findings and that any connection between screen time and mental health is very small.Dr.Max Davie,officer for health improvement at theRoyalCollege,calls the study a“small first step”,but he says there are other issues to explore,such as screen times interference(干预)with other important activities like sleep,exercise and time with family or friends.Perhaps for now,the“right”amount of screen time is only a matter of personal judgement.1.What is peoples common belief concerning screen time?A.Looking at screens does harm to young people.B.Screen time provides a chance for teenagers to learn.C.Most teenagers get near-sighted due to looking at screens.D.A small amount of time online does little harm to teenagers.2.What can we learn from the new study by the Oxford Internet Institute?A.Screen time has a great influence on peoples daily activities.B.The right amount of the screen time is related to its content.C.There is a close link between social media and self-satisfaction.D.Social bonds play a more significant role in peoples wellbeing than social media.3.Where is the passage most probably taken from?A.A science fiction.B.A science magazine.C.A research paper.D.An economics book.B Dragon boating is a team sport that has its root in ancient China.The boats are decorated with a dragon head and tail.In recent years cancer survivor groups have got involved in the sport to help make friends and help rebuild their lives.On a recent Saturday morning,a group of 20 women were on a boat in the Anacostia River in Washington DC.They moved their paddles(船桨)in rhythm to the call of a coach.The women belong to the dragon boat team GoPink!DC,which trains weekly.It also races against other breast cancer survivor teams in dragon boat festivals.As a result,GoPink!DC won medals in this Washington dragon boat festival.Lydia Collins joined five years ago after finding out she had breast cancer.“I was diagnosed with breast cancer.I was demoralized because of my illness-I lost all interest in life and wouldnt even get out of bed to eat.But now I love the team spirit.I just love everything about it.It is like a floating support group on the water.”The paddles are breast cancer survivors and their supporters.Annette Rothemel helped establish(建立)the group in 2006.She is a researcher with the National Institutes of Health as well as a breast cancer survivor.“It is sort of an easy entry sport because on the same boat people at different levels can be doing the same sport.”But Ms Rothemel saysdragon boating can be physically demanding,especially for someone who is sick and getting treatment for cancer.“Its hard but I think you have to challenge yourself in life.This is something I look forward to.I get to be out here with my sisters and supporters that understand what Im going through and help motivate me.So it makes me stronger and it makes me feel better,”another cancer survivor Rhonda Hartzel said.Annette Rothemel says the cancer survivors feel a sense of sisterhood and share good times when they paddle together.She says both feelings are treasured by the team.4.What do the underline wordsdemoralizedIn para.3 probably mean?A.depressed B.anxious C.astonished D.awkward 5.What can we know about Lydia Collims from the text?A.she helps establish Go Pink!DC B.she tries to find a cure for the cancer C.she

mentally C.get rid of the pains of their cancer D.enjoy their rest life without sufferings 7.What does the text tell us about Annette Rothemel?A.she is an expert in studying the cause of the cancer B.she helps the cancer survivors in financial difficulties C.she believes there is a healthful result from the dragon boat race D.she thinks it unwise for the patient to join in the dragon boat race C I am a part of the Windward Robotics team known as the Omnicats,one of the many clubs offered at my school.My eight teammates and I started out by watching the robotics qualifiers and finals of Chinese teams.We used these robotics videos for inspiration and drew up mind maps of what our team wanted to do.We meet every day for two hours after school in order to build our robots.Typically,adultsoverseewhat students are building,but my school lets teens take control.It leaves room for more errors,but were prouder of our final product.Before our first real match,a practice was offered at the actual site.My sub-team had been further along than other teams but quickly fell behind.When we arrived on that big day,I immediately felt my teammates nervousness.Our first match was in three minutes.All of us glanced around at each other since we were not prepared at all.Our robot was still sitting in a box.Two of our teammates rushed to take the robot for an official examination as the rest of us discussed our strategy(策略).Our team captain explained that we all should try driving the robot now,while it was early in the season.She Most people think of Airbnb as a kind of couch-surfing app.The service works for one-night stays on road trips and longer stays in cities,and it often has more competitive pricing than hotels.Its a textbook example of the“sharing economy”,but not everyone is a fan.The app has had unintended consequences inSan Francisco.As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last year,a significant amount of renting on Airbnb is not in line with the companys image:middle-class families putting up a spare room to help make ends meet.Some users have taken advantage of the service,using it to turn their multiple properties into vacation rentals or even full-time rentals.Backers of Proposition F argued that this trend takes spaces off the conventional,better-regulated housing market and contributes to rising costs.“The fact is,widespread abuse of short-term rentals is taking much needed housing off the market and harming our neighborhoods,”said ShareBetter SF,a group that supported Proposition F.Hotel unions have protested the companys practices inSan Franciscoand other cities,saying that it creates an illegal hotel system.San Franciscois in the middle of a long-term,deeply rooted housing crisis that has seen the cost of living explode.Actually,explode is a generous term.The average monthly rent for an apartment is around$4,000.Located on a narrow outcropping of land overlooking the bay,San Franciscosimply doesnt have enough space to accommodate the massive inflow of young,high-salaried tech employees flocking toSilicon Valley.As the Los Angeles Times reported,someSan Franciscoresidents supported the measure simply because it seemed like a way to check a big corporation.Opponents of Proposition F countered that the housing crisis runs much deeper,and that passing the rule would have discouraged a popular service while doing little to solve the citys existing problems.12.The intention of Proposition F is to _.A.place time limits in local election.B.set limits on short-term rental.C.strike down a controversial rule.D.urge users to vote against Airbnb.13.What is the negative consequence of Airbnb onSan Francisco?A.It shrinks the living space of middle-class families.B.Users are taken advantage of by the service financially.C.It makes the house market more competitive.D.It indirectly leads to high house rental price.14.The housing crisis inSan Franciscoresults from _.A.explosion of the living cost B.its geographic characteristics C.generosity of local enterprises D.inflow of migrant population 15.Theauthors attitude toward Proposition F is _.A.objective B.supportive C.negative D.indifferent 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 Pets can add extra fun to your everyday life._16_More importantly,you need to take care of its nutrition and
