浙江省杭州市学军中学2021届高三英语模拟考试试题学校:姓名：班级：考号：一、阅读理解I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: both my parents left for work before my school bus arnved, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza（狂欢）？Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book-it was Hemingway's The Sun Also rises-and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn't bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatiates（异乡客）.I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my roleas a daughter, sister, teenager, and studentin the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: 1 had become completely absorbed by something I loved.Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway's language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing nowabsorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous sideeffect.1.

Becoming a writer was my childhood dream.Lego is considering a brick （积木）rental plan in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste. The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable （可持续的） sources by 2030 and is investing significant resources into finding alternatives.Tim Brooks, vice-president responsible fbr sustainability, said the company was "totally open” to the idea of a product rental plan but admitted that lost pieces could produce a significant problem. "What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again?” Mr. Brooks added.“There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done. We are right at beginning of that." Mr. Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the least amount of resources. He said many would "probably never see the light of day“ and there was no current plan to try out a rental plan.Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint among growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment. It produces 19 billion pieces per year-36, 000 a minute-that are made entirely of plastic while much of the inside packaging is also plastic.So far, the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane. The green trees, plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but make up only l%-2% of the total amount of plastic elements produced. Henrik Nielson, a production supervisor （主管）in Lego's factory, said last year: "We need to learn again how to do this.”Lego reportedly releases around a million tons of carbon dioxide each year, with about 75% coming from raw materials that go into factories. The company has invested more than 100, 000,000 euros and hired 100 people to research non-plastic alternatives. It is aiming to keep all of its packaging out of landfill by 2025.4. Lego is making great efforts to.A. promote its brick rental planB. raise its production efficiencyC.explore ways to reduce plastic wasteD.develop new products5. According to Mr. Brooks, Lego'sbrick rental plan.A.is well under wayB.has a long way to goC.is totally uselessD.goes against Lego9s interest6. The writer tells of Lego's stress of reducing plastic waste by means ofA.figuresB.examplesC.comparisonD.classificationWhat is Lego's attitude towards developing non-plastic alternatives?A.Defensive.B.Determined.C.Disapproving.D.Doubtful.Anyone who commutes（通勤）by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans are not alone in facing potential backups.Ants also commutebetween their nest and sources of food. The survival of their colonies depends on doing this efficiently.When humans commute, there's a point at which cars become dense（稠密）enough to slow down the flow of traffic, causing jam. Motsch, a mathematician in Arizona State University, and his colleagues wanted to know if ants on the move could also get stuck. So they regulated traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched. "The goal was to try to find out at what point they are going to have a traffic said Sebastien Motsch.But it appears that that never happened. They always managed to avoid traffic jam. The flow ants did increase at the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then leveled off at high densities. But it never slowed down or stopped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.The researchers then took a closer look at how the behaviour of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole, and they found that when ants sense overcrowding they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. These behaviours may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is. The ants also manage to avoid colliding（碰撞）with each other at high densities, which could really slow them down. The study is in the journal eLife.Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely, says Motsch. That's becausewhen it comes to getting from point a to point b as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in improving traffic flow for self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans-and more like ants.7. How did the researchers control the traffic density of the commuting ants?A. By finding out the dense pointsB. Through closer observationC. By controlling the widths of their path.D. By regulating their numbers8. According to the research, ants can avoid traffic jams mainly because.A. they follow a special routethey level off at high densitiesC they never stop or slow down on the wayD. they depend on their natural chemicals to adjust their speeds9. What is the best title of the passage?A . Traffic jamsB. Unavoidable? Not for antsC. Survival of an ant colony.D. Difference between human and ants二、七选五Be a good touristTourism can be good or bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals, but it may also bring some problems.11 Tourists have used paint, rocks or even keys to write on the LuxorTemple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and many, many other places. Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to death”.12 If you want to leave a markon the world, do it by changing someone9s life with kindness and love. Pass kindness along to future generations, not destruction.Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing the local people and life. 13 For example, Chang Mai University in Tailand and Yonsei University inSouth Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students and disturbing their studies. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate.14 试卷第4页，共9页The number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without observing local traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve the issue of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you not the one!15Remember, whenever you step outside your country's borders, you are representing your country to the rest of the world.A. Just think from other aspects.B , When in Rome, do as the Romans do.C. Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.D. Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible.E. I have three words for people like this: please stop it.F. One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited someplace.G. Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission.三、完形填空Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky.
