2022届辽宁省丹东市高三总复习质量测试(一)英语试题学校:姓名：班级：考号：一、阅读理解Four Unusual Houses around the WorldThe Keret House (Poland)You may know this structure as the world's skinniest house since it measures only 122 centimeters at its widest point. The project started with an idea that architect Jakub Szczesny first presented at the World Architecture Festival in 2009. The house has no windows but is semi-transparent and has a white interior which allows it to feel a lot less tiny than you'd think.The Tree Hotel (Sweden)The structure is a cube-shaped building which wrapped around the trunk of a tall tree. Its exterior is coated with mirrored glass which allows it to perfectly blend in with its sun-oundings and to reflect the sky and the trees. The interior is made of plywood and offers 360 degrees of the landscape. To reach the entrance, one has to go across a rope bridge connected to the next tree.Resident Church XL (The Netherlands)The Saint Jakobus Church dating back to 1870 ceased to function as a church in 1991 and was later used as a showroom for events and furniture displays. Then, in 2007, Zecc Architects came with an idea. They wanted to transform the church into a residence and to bring this beautiful historical monument back to life. The idea was materialized two years later.The Steel House (The US)Robert Bruno worked on this amazing project until his death in 2008, handcrafting everything with no outside assistance. The house has a very unusual form which could be interpreted in a lot of different ways. Some think it resembles a UFO, others think it looks more like a massive insect and there are also those that compare it to a Star Wars AT-AT Walker.1. Which of the four is the narrowest building?A. The Keret House. B. The Tree Hotel. C. Resident Church XL.D. The Steel House.Billy nudged the boy so that he fell on the kerb （彳则石）and broke his glasses. Billy and his friends ran off down the street, laughing. However, Hoppy just stood there.The boy, Gerald, sat on the kerb, crying now. He looked up at Hoppy and begged him not to hit him. Hoppy smiled and said, "I've never beaten anyone up. Only bullies （霸凌）and cowards do that. Really strong people keep their fists in their pockets. Thafs what my dad says." Gerald seemed relieved. They walked to Gerald's house, talking about going to the beach together. Their friendship grew.One Sunday, Hoppy went to the beach with his father. Billy and his friends were there. Billy called out to Hoppy, complaining about helping Gerald. He spoke in an unpleasant tone, saying his dad was his babysitter. Hoppy smiled and ignored him.Gerald arrived to see Hoppy. When he saw the boys, his heart sank. Billy and his gang surrounded him. "Hoppy's tricked me/9 thought Gerald, and he started to walk away. Billy ran after Gerald and tripped him. Gerald fell onto the sand, but picked himself up and asked them to leave him alone. However, Billy didn't stop and tripped Gerald again.Paragraph 1:This time Gerald managed a brave smile as he got up and faced the boys.Paragraph 2:Hoppy and his dad came up beside Gerald, but Gerald said to them, “Why don't you go with your firiends?”What did the Saint Jakobus Church function as in 2007?A.

It has a distinctive shape.D. It has appeared in Star Wars.The seeds of what we are meant to do may have been sown in our childhood. I grew up in Chennai, India in a home surrounded by books. I recall my mother telling me that when I was read to as a child, I knew exactly where one sentence ended and the next one began!One book that had a significant impact on me as a child was called "31 Brothers and Sisters“ that related the story of an African girl who goes on an elephant hunt, a traditionally male sport. What struck me was this girl was challenging traditional standards of behavior in a society that was not happy with women expressing independence - and the fact that this girl had black hair like me and was also dark-skinned.I also had the opportunity to attend an unusual school that encouraged creative thinking. Here, I was encouraged by a few teachers who noticed my writing skills. However, English was actually my least favorite subject because we had to write on canned topics and there was no room for creativity.I have written three books so far. My first book, "Climbing the Stairs" was inspired by my mother's experiences growing up as a teenager during the Second World War. The book deals with the struggles of a teenage girl at a time when women were treated as second-class citizens in society. My second book, “Island's End" is based on my own experiences as an oceanographer and working in the remote Andaman Islands, off the coast of India. "The Bridge Home“ is a story of friendship among four street kids and loosely based on three kids I knew growing up. Each of the three books is inspired by my own experiences, what I have read and people around me.My message to young writers is not to rush into writing or get too concerned with material rewards. In today's world, there's often too much of an emphasis on awards and honors, which no writer can control. Those are largely a matter of luck. Write for yourself and just enjoy the process.3.

The inspiration for her books.C , A book review. D. A leaflet.Earth's great ice sheets, Greenland and Antarctica, are now losing mass six times faster than they were in the 1990s because of warming conditions. A complete review of satellite data acquired at both poles is apparent in its assessment of accelerating trends, say scientists. Between them, Greenland and Antarctica lost 6.4 trillion tons of ice in the period from 1992 to 2017.This was sufficient to push up global sea-levels by 17.8 mm."That's not a good news story,“ said Prof Andrew Shepherd from the University of Leeds in the UK. Today, the ice sheets contribute about a third of all sea-level rise, whereas in the 1990s, their contribution was actually pretty small at about 5%. This has important consequence fbr the future, such as coastal flooding and soil erosion J he told BBC News.It's a team of experts who have reviewed polar measurements acquired by observational spacecraft over nearly three decades.The key one is the recognition that ice losses are now running at the upper end of expectations when compared with the computer models used by the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In the IPCC's 2014 assessment, its mid-range simulations (模拟器)suggested global sea-levels might rise by 53 cm by 2100. But the team's studies show that ice losses from Antarctica and Greenland are actually heading to much more pessimistic outcomes, and will likely add another 17 cm to those end-of-century forecasts.“If that holds true it would put 400 million people at risk of annual coastal flooding by 2100 J said Prof Shepherd. "What our latest estimates mean is that the period people are expecting will be shorter. Whatever town or coastal planning measures you9re intending to put in place, they need to be built sooner.Greenland and Antarctica are responding to climate change in slightly different ways. The southern polar ice sheet's losses come from the melting effects of warmer ocean water attacking its edges. The northern polar ice sheet feels a similar sort of attack but is also experiencing surface melt from warmer air temperatures.8. . What was a cause of the rise of the sea level?A Loss of ice sheets.B.Observation of the poles.C.Measures of town planning.D.Influence of satellites.9. What would be the significant result of the melting ice sheets for the future?A.Two thirds of all sea-levelrise.B.A 17 cm rise to the currentsealevel.C.Floods and soil loss of thecoastal areas.D.Simulations9 rise by 53 cm by theyear of2100.10. According to the last paragraph, what is one of the features of Greenland and Antarctica ice sheet loss?A. They respond to climate change entirely different.B. They respond to climate change exactly the same.C. Antarctica ice sheet experiences surface melt from warmer air.D. Greenland ice sheet experiences melting effectsof warmer ocean water.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.The Historical Stories of Ice Sheets B.The Benefits of Ice Sheets of BothPolesC.Greenland and Antarctica Ice Loss Accelerating D. Annual Floods andErosionHittingCoastal AreasThe UK's planned ban on sales of new petrol, diesel （柴油）or hybrid （混合动力）cars could start as early as 2032, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has said. Last week, the government raised industry concern after bringing the date forward from 2040 to 2035 in order to hit zero-carbon emission targets. But Mr. Shapps told BBC Radio 5 live it would happen by 2035, “or even 2032," adding there would be consultation.The main car trade body had previously said the 2035 figure was “concerning”.The government is setting out its proposals in a United Nations climate summit in November. A Department for Transport spokesperson said, "We are consulting on a range of possible dates to bring forward the end to the sale of petrol and diesel cars.”“The proposal fbr this is 2035 一 or earlier if a faster transition appears reasonable 一 as well as including hybrids fbr the first time. The UK has set a target of emitting zero carbon by 2050. Experts warned that the original target date of 2040 would still leave old conventional cars on the roads 10 years later. Once the ban comes into effect, only electric cars will be available. Hybrid vehicles are now included in the proposals, which were originally announced in July 2017.Despite this, Royal Automobile club spokesman Simon Williams said, "While the government appears to be constantly moving forward for ending the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles, drivers should not be worried about choosing a hybrid car now.” "They are potentially the perfect stepping stone for those who want to go electric but have concerns about range （续航），as they aren't as expensive as a batteiy electric vehicle. At the moment, they give drivers the best of both worlds.”How attached are British people to their petrol vehicles? How long until conventional cars go the way of steam engine cars and horse coaches?12. What is the car industry's attitude towards the ban on the sale of conventional cars? A. Ambiguous. B. Indifferent. C. Worried.D. Approving.13. Why does the UK propose to ban the sale of conventional cars before 2040?A. To remove the concern of main car trade body.B. To hold back the development of pure battery electric cars.C. To hold a United Nations climate summit in November.D. To meet the zero carbon emission target as planned.14. What is Simon's opinion when people face the ban of conventional cars?A. It's still a wise choice to choose a hybrid car nowadays.B. Battery electric cars should be widely used immediately.C. Drivers should consider about range when choosing a car.D. People should abandon petrol vehicles as soon as possible.15 . What can we infer about the conventional cars from the last paragraph?A. They will fall out of use some day.B. They are as important as horse coaches.C. They will remain as a family necessity.D. They may increase your daily expenses.二、七选五Having a positive attitude is a choice. You can choose to think thoughts that boost your mood and throw a more constructive light on difficult situations.
