高三英语限时训练（3.27日晚）一、阅读理解ALanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.；1.

What is the main idea of the text?ANew languages will be created.BPeoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.CHuman development results in fewer languages.DGeography determines language evolution.BAn Irish designer is growing unique mushroom hives (蜂箱) in order to protect her islands local black bees. For years, Ireland imported a large group of bees from places with tropical climates and warmer weather. Bees find it challenging to survive in Irish climate but other generic factors like loss of habitat and increase in the usage of pesticides have also led to a decline in the bee population. Further, the imported new species mated (交配) with local bees to produce their young that stormed the hives of the black bees and still could not get adjusted to the weather.Econooc is a type of hive designed by Niamh Damery, an Irish designer, to save Irelands native black bees. This hive is among the worlds finest 20 and has been considered for the James Dyson Design Award for Sustainability. The designer not only aims to protect the bees but also intends to have people participate in its conservation.The mushroom hives are cultivated from mycelium pores (由菌丝孔培育而成) with by-products like straw or wood shavings used as substrate (底座). Mycelium, situated underground, provides support to the fruiting body. These mushrooms are coming out as a probable design tool. GNN reported that mushrooms could be used to build things like canoes, bricks, and coffins. To create the beehive, mycelium and the substrate concoction (混合物) is stuffed into a mold (模具) in the shape of the actual hive. It is then heated in the oven to secure the shape.Econooc copies a hive and is placed in the hollow of a local tree. This is the natural habitat of the black Irish bees, where they build their shelter, store food and protect their young ones. Recycled plastic is used to make a landing pad so that owners can watch the activities of the bees. The hive is secured on the tree with the help of old car seatbelts to fasten it. Every aspect of the project is based on sustainability.；5. What does the author think of the years introduction of the new species of bee?AIncreasing the bee population.BMaking things even worse.CImproving the local black bees.DReproducing a better species.；6. What is special about the new hive?AIts production way.BIts shape.CIts materials.DIts functions.；7. How does the project strike you most?AEnvironmentally friendly.BExtremely economical.CAbsolutely creative.DComparatively efficient.；8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AA New Species of Bee Fails to Save Irish BeesBA Bee Hive Recognized for Its SustainabilityCMushrooms Make Good Materials for BeehivesDHomegrown Mushrooms Give Life to Irelands Bees二、七选五阅读What is forest bathing? This Japanese practice, known in Japan as shinrin yoku, is a process of relaxation. The simple method of being calm and quiet in the woods, observing nature around you while breathing deeply can help both adults and children relieve stress and boost health and well being in a natural way. 9 Find a spot. Depending where you are, find a good source of nature. One doesnt need to journey deep into a forest for these benefits. Just look for any green area. 10 Forests with conifers (针叶树) are thought to be particularly beneficial. For people who dont have access to a forest, using essential tree oils in your home can provide benefits, too.Engage all your senses. Let nature enter through your ears, eyes, nose, mouth, hands, and feet. 11 Drink in the flavor of the forest and release your sense of joy and calm.Dont hurry. Slow walking is recommended for beginners. And its good to spend as much time as possible. Youll notice positive effects after twenty minutes, but a longer visit, ideally four hours, is better. 12 Try doing yoga in the woods, or Tai Chi. Take a picnic. Write a poem. Study plants. You can take an adventure alone, or with a companion.Appreciate the silence. 13 If youre lucky, youll find a wooded area thats free from human-produced sound. Spend a few quiet moments with a favorite tree. If nothing else, when we connect with nature we are reminded that we are part of a larger whole. And that can lead us to be less selfish and to think more of others.APractice more often.BTry different activities.CActively listen, smell, touch, and look.DIt could be an urban park or a nature preserve.EBelow are some tips for beginners to get started.FStaying in silent areas is not the only way to forest bathing.GOne of the disadvantages of urban living is the constant noise.三、完形填空I am writing this story to express the important value of sportsmanship(体育精神)Some years ago，my traveling 14 team took part in a nationwide competition.This competition is very 15 and the atmosphere is far from 16 After we completed our performance，the next competing team laughed at us and gave us a dirty 17 as we passed them.They looked 18 at us and made fun of our costumes and our performance.My team and I were all very 19 ，even to the point of tears.One of my team members 20 that we should boo(发嘘声) them as they performed.Finally I said，“Let's teach them a lesson.” I was the oldest member of the team and their role model.What I said next totally 21 them.I said，“They are on stage right now.Let's go and 22 them.”I then looked up at the stage and started to scream，“Come on！”My teammates all started to shout loudly with me to show support for the team.At first they were 23 Then I noticed that they were having 24 screaming for the team that a couple of minutes ago they hated.When the team finished dancing and walked off stage，my teammates and I all started to 25 them.Most members of the opposite team 26 and said “thank you”，and they were a little embarrassed.My team and I felt a lot better about the 27 After that，my teammates understood what a great 28 it was and they were glad that they had shown good sportsmanship.14.

I told my best friend, Tina, the news. My older brother had been teaching me juggling（玩杂耍）, and I knew hed help me with my act for the show. Tina ran over to the noticeboard and read the poster. But when Tina asked me what our act was going to be, I didnt know how to speak up for myself. I held on to my books tightly. Tina laughed and pointed to the poster. It said acts can be individuals, partners, or small groups. My grip（紧握）on my books now became uncomfortable. I asked Tina if she wanted to do an act with me. She nodded. I hesitated for a second before continuing. “Ive got an idea and ” Tina interrupted me immediately. “Yeah, me too; lets talk about it over lunch.”During math, I tried to think of how I would tell Tina that I wanted to do my own act. After all, we were best friends; we should be able to see eye to eye about this. The problem was Tina always took charge. I never spoke up, and then I ended up feeling angry. I desperately wanted to win, but it was more than that. I wanted to win on my ownwith an act that was all mine.At lunch, Tina started talking as soon as we sat down. She had it all planned out. She said we could sing along to a song and do a dance routine, and her mother could make us costumes. However, I got up the courage and told her about my juggling act. Tina said she didnt think she could learn to juggle in three weeks and that she would probably drop the balls. She didnt want to be embarrassed. I didnt say anything, but after school, I ran around the track a couple of times just to let off steam.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2. 续写部分分两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。Paragraph 1:My grandmother drove over to pick me up.
