2021 届汕头市澄海实验高级中学高三英语月考试题及答案 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 Try one of these amazing destinations on your next vacation.Mallorca On the popular Spanish island of Mallorca,farmhouse inns focus more on providing isolation and quietness than offering hands-on farming experiences.With millions of visitors staying on the beaches of Mallorca and the other Balearic Islands each summer,a little bit of isolation is a good thing for aloneness-seeking travelers.Mainly located in the hills of inland Mallorca,these inns range from rustic century-old farmhouses to luxury(奢侈的)villas with spas and swimming pools.Hawaii People who dont want to dig out their passport but still want their farm adventure can head to the island of Hawaii.The 50th state talks much about the well-developed farm tourism industry that can hold people with different interests.Agritourism choices range from visiting coffee plantations(种植园)in the Big Islands Kona region to exploring the plantations on Maui to staying on farms on the easily reachable island of Oahu.California California is one ofthe best places in the U.S.to enjoy a farm-stay,thanks to the diversity of crops and farms.Small family farms and large farms offer a more hands-on approach to agritourism.Many of them teach small-scale farming techniques and even offer strategies for organic growing.The University of California system,one of the largest state-run higher education systems in the U.S.,has a small-farm program that helps growers create agritourism businesses.Philippine Islands With diverse conditions on different islands,the Philippine Islands are ideal places for visiting multiple agritourism sites or focusing on one product.Tourists can visit a huge pineapple plantation for a taste of large-scale agriculture,or they could focus on smaller operations such as bee farms,and even small plantations that specialize in growing tropical produce such as dragon fruit.1.What kind of people will choose to go to Mallorca?A.Those who prefer peace of mind.B.Those who like lying on the beach.C.Those who enjoy the luxury of tourism.D.Those who want to experience farming.2.What can people do on the Philippine Islands?A.Live in farmhouses.B.Visit plantations.C.Learn farming techniques.D Take part in a farm program.3.What are the four places in the text famous for?A.Locations.B.Environments.C.Local products.D.Tourism features.B Be it from the mouths of foreigners who have lived here for a few years or from stories on travel websites,one of the most common qualities that people list about Shanghai is the infectious energy that courses through the city.For some,this energy is defined by the way of lifeShanghai is a city that never sleeps.In the day,the streets arc always bustling with people from all over the world.After all,the city has long been Chinas most cosmopolitan city,having been the epicenter of trade and cultural exchange between Chinese and foreigners since the city was forced to open its door to the world in 1843 after the First Opium War(1840-42).Shanghais ubiquitous delivery people can be found on the roads even past midnight,rushing from point to point on their trusty electric scooters to satiate the hunger of night owls.Even before the break of dawn,pensioners can be found gathering in parks,ready to kick start their day with a tai chi session.For others,this energy is generated from the friction between the contrasts the city has.Indeed,it does not take long for one to realize that Shanghais charmlies in it being a binary of old and new.Here,charming neoclassical architecture and art deco structures stand alongside modem buildings with shimmering glass and metal facades,rustic(质朴的)lane houses and shikumen buildings.Humble mom-and-pop shops that look stuck in time can often be found right next tohipdining venues or industrial-chic fashion stores selling designer apparel.One of the best places to get an overview of these surreal contrasts is none other than the tallest building in the city the Shanghai Tower in Lujiazui.Measuring a dizzying 632 meters in height,this architectural marvel boasts having the worlds highest observation deck within a building or structure.It also comes with the worlds fastest elevators which would get you from the bottom to the top at 20.5 meters per second.On the other side of the Huangpu River is where you would find the Bund,which is home to magnificent neoclassical buildings.The Bund is to Shanghai what Times Square is to New York or what the Champs-61ysees is to Paris.A trip to Shanghai would not be complete without exploring this iconic waterfront promenade.Autumn is the best time to experience Shanghai on foot,not merely because the weather is conducive for walking,but because this is when the roads and sidewalks in many areas are blanketed with a layer of color1 ful fallen leaves.4.Why is the example of delivery man mentioned?A.To make a contrast with pensioners biological clock.B.To illustrate the vibrant energy of modern Shanghai.C.To highlight the diligence and consideration of delivery man.D.To feature the courier delivery service in full swing.5.Which of the following is TRUE about the contrast of Shanghai?A.The contrast mainly arises from the First Opium War.B.The design of the Shanghai Tower stands for a contrast.C.A marked contrast is shown in the use of building materials.D.The dishes served in mom-and-pop shops represent the outdated flavor.6.The underlined word“hip”in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to_.A.photographic B.modest C.peculiar D.stylish 7.Which of the following will be most probably discussed following the last paragraph?A.Stunning views of the Shanghai skyline.B.The best places to view the seasonal spectacle.C.The walking path thathugs the Huangpu River.D.Must-try dishes and food items typical of Shanghai.C Many teens may feel anxious sometimes.Its the kind of nervousness that makes you bite your nails before a big test.We spend more time online than we should.We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media.Young people are developing a false view of life.On the screen,we see what people want to show us.People usually only post photos where they are looking their best.They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time.No one seems sad or lonely.In short,life isfabulous.But sooner or later,our young people compare their real life to it.They find that theirs doesnt seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students.Its reported that a lot more college students feel overwhelming anxiety.The percentage jumped from 50%in 2011 to 62%in 2016.Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country.It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.Certainly,we cant blame it on social media alone.We expect toomuch from our children and a lot of these expectations arent reasonable.Their schedules are packed with sports,clubs and homework.They dont have enough free time.We want our children to succeed,and we dont care how much it costs.As parents,we must have more balance.On one hand,we push too hard,and on the other hand,we make life too easy for children.We shouldnt and cant promise our children that they will always be happy.We shouldnt try to protect them from the problems of everyday life.Let them solve the problems in person.8.What is the text mainly about?A.What causes teens nervousness.B.How to deal with teens anxiety.C.What a view of life means to people.D.How to treat social media appropriately.9.What does the underlined word“fabulous”in paragraph 2

of one-on-one boxing,tae kwon do,Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games,conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill,the athlete wearing red is more likely to win.Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other,colour has no effect on the result.However,when there is only a small difference between them,the effect of colour is enoughtipthe balance.The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance,but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell,a primate(灵长目动物)researcher at the University of Cambridge,has found similar results in nature.She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills.Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces.Setchells work shows that the powerful males the ones who are more successful with females have a brighter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell,another study shows the effect of red among birds.In an experiment,scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds success with female zebra finches,Zebra finches already have bright red beaks(鸟喙),so this study suggests that,as with Olympic athletes,an extra flash of red is significant.In fact,researchers from theUniversityofGlasgowsay that the birds brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health.Jonathan Blount,a biologist,andhis colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier.Nothing in nature is simple,however,because in species such as the blue footed booby,a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile,what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red?Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage?Robert Barton accepts that“that is the implication”of their findings.Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?12.According to their research.Hill and Barton conclude that _.A.the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport events B.red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sports C.red plays a role when competitors are equally capable D.athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red 13.The underlined word“tip”in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _.A.achieve B.advance C.keep D.change 14.The example of the blue footed booby proves that _.A.male birds use different body parts to draw attention B.red is not the only colour to attract female birds C.blue gives female birds the same advantage D.blue can indicate how healthy a bird is 15.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The colour red gives male animals the most advantage.B.Male zebra finches prefer to have red plastic rings on their legs.C.Rules on sports clothing are going to be changed.D.Athletes wearing red may have an advantage over their opponents.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 One Dollar a Night in New York When it comes to finding a
