B

Proudly reading my words, I looked around the room, only to find my classmates bearing

big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and Miss Lancelot stone-faced. I slowly raised the report, hoping to hide myself and burning to find out “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”

Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real

task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.

When another classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” How could I know that she meant that George Washington?

Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I talked to Miss Lancelot, but

she insisted: no re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I

believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather and the headmaster informed me of his approval that I could skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

24. What did the author’s classmates think about his report?

A. Amusing. B. Moving. C. Controversial. D. Puzzling.

25. What does the underlined word “burning” in Para. 1 probably mean?

A. Ready. B. Annoyed. C. Eager. D. Ashamed.

26. Why was the author confused about the task?

A. The teacher’s instruction was unclear.

B. He knew little about American history.

C. He was a new comer to the school.

D. He followed the advice to flip a coin.

27. Why did the author say “Justice is sweet”?

A. He was allowed to redo the test. B. He was devoted to his studies.

C. His efforts were recognized by school. D. The punishment was reasonable.

Imagine that the genome (基因组) is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters, with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 500 dictionaries. If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me a century. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube. This enormous document, however, all fits inside the extremely small nucleus (核) of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin (针尖).

The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor (比喻). It is

true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and controlled by a system that translates a small alphabet (字母表) of letters into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only difference is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though never both at the same time.

While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six letters,

genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only four letters. And instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules (分子). The genome is a very clever book, because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself.

28. What facts do you know about the genome?

A. It has 23 chapters. B. It is extremely long.

C. It is in the cell nucleus. D. It is on the pin head.

29. In what sense is the genome like a book?

A. Both have digital images. B. Both are read from left to right.

C. Both are grouped by subject. D. Both have a translation system.

30. What can we know about genomes from paragraph 3?

A. They are nearly of the same length. B. They are made up of DNA.

C. They can reproduce each other. D. They are written on flat pages.

31. Why did the writer make a comparison of the genome to a book?

A. To focus on the differences. B. To emphasize the similarities.

C. To simplify the concept. D. To give different description.

D

We’re loving the sea to death. We swim into it, live near it, build beside it, and even imagine about living under the sea. For much of our history, we have turned to “hard engineering” to control the marine (海洋的) environment and manage its influence on us. We build dams, sea walls and channels. But all these efforts seem to fail, because we’ve not been thinking about design of structures with respect to ecology. Some coastal structures create

高三英语试卷 第5 页 共10页

shade, which reduces the growth of seaweed. Bright lights at night contuse species such as turtles (海龟). That’s why blue engineering comes in.

Johnson, a marine ecologist, is advocating for “blue engineering” — the marine version

of the “green engineering” movement on land that has seen nations like Singapore building the walls and roofs of the concrete jungle with plant life.

Researchers with the World Harbour Project are creating tiles (瓦片) similar to the natural

structures found on rocky shores with 3D printing technology. These make more attractive homes for marine creatures. Researchers are also actively seeding these tiles with local seaweeds and creatures such as the Sydney rock oyster, which is particularly good at improving water quality. Twelve harbors around the world are taking part in this marine tile experiment, each working with their own unique marine life.

It’s a far cry from the days when huge numbers of old tyres were thrown into the sea to

build “artificial reefs (礁石)”. Those early attempts are now costing millions to remove, showing just how far we have yet to go in understanding how best to co-habit with the underwater world.

32. What do we know about “hard engineering”?

A. It has improved sea environment. B. It controls the influence of sea well.

C. It has failed to achieve its purpose. D. It makes living under the sea possible.

33. What does the underlined word “contuse” in Paragraph 1 mean？

A. Injure. B. Heat. C. Defend. D. Involve.

34. Which of the following is a form of “blue engineering”?

A. Growing plant life on concrete buildings.

B. Building rocky shores with 3D printers.

C. Creating an artificial reef with old tyres.

D. Building structures benefiting sea creatures.

35. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Two ways of sea engineering. B. The green engineering movement.

C. Construction of artificial reefs. D. Research on blue engineering.

Human beings learn technology from nature. They tend to imitate it. 36 It did take

us a while to learn, though. However, not until the mid-twentieth century was the word “biomimicry (仿生学)” first introduced.

One of the first examples would be the invention of Velcro (魔术贴), a material that was

born after a walk in the countryside by an engineer and his dog. On returning home, he found

高三英语试卷 第6 页 共10页

his socks were filled with little burrs (刺果). 37 They were covered by many tiny hooks

(勾). He used those qualities for some kind of fabric. And then Velcro was born.

38 A high-speed train used to create great noise while exiting a tunnel because of

the air pressure. Eiji Nakatsu, an engineer and bird-lover, was inspired by the kingfisher’s beak

(鸟嘴), able to dive into the water at great speed with almost no friction, to create a new design. That’s how the modern bullet train, much more efficient and quieter, was born.

Secondly, there would be the imitation of Nature’s strategies and mechanisms. For

instance, dolphins have mastered the art of sending out ultrasound (超声波) without disturbing each other. A team of researchers have analyzed the way dolphins adjust these frequencies.

39

Finally, there’s the imitation of the efficiency within an ecosystem. 40 For example,

the street is full of tiny holes to empty water in flooding seasons and the foundations of buildings grasp the hillsides like the roots of trees.

A. One is the imitation of shapes.

B. People imitate forests to build cities.

C. For instance, birds taught people to fly.

D. He decided to get rid of these little burrs.

E. Then he bent down to inspect them closely.

F. Urban areas consume more energy than rural areas.

G. Based on the analysis, they designed a tsunami alarm system.

to see a college that I was thinking of 41 . While the trip had been 42 for the most

part, I was feeling depressed, alone, and isolated. I was 43 the Appalachian mountains

and the forests of my home. I loved 44 the leaves turned a thousand 45 of green in

the Spring and then became a 46 of red, gold and orange in the Fall.

Here in Iowa everything was 47 . The grass looked burnt and brown. All that I could

48 was a mixture of corn, mud and pigs. I walked outside the dormitory of the college

and sat on a big rock. I closed my eyes and 49 being back home again. When I finally

opened them, however, I saw something that touched my 50 . It was a Prairie (大草原)

Sunset. It seemed to 51 the sky from horizon to horizon. Gold, red, purple and pink

clouds all 52 together in a picture painted by Heaven’s own hand. It was so huge that it

took my 53 away. It made our mountain sunsets seem 54 by comparison. I realized

that this place too had its own special beauty. This place too was a part of nature’s 55 .

Thanks to Chinese streaming media platform iQiyi, Hikaru No Go, a 56 (domestic)

produced 36-episode series based on the classic 1990s Japanese comic of the same name was

finally broadcast on TV. Despite the 57 (popular) and mass appeal of the original comic,

until now, no live-action adaptation of Hikaru No Go 58 (realize).

In the story, a Chinese boy named Guang discovers a Go (围棋) board in which the spirit

of an ancient master player is imprisoned (监禁). The boy is encouraged and taught by the

ancient spirit, gradually 59 (become) a master player himself.

The story is like fantasy, 60 has a typically realistic background, which may easily

arouse strong emotion among the Chinese audience. For example, the beginning of the tale is

set in the late 1990s， 61 South Korea dominated the international Go world and China

fell behind.

According to the producer, the series 62 (be) not just for Go fans, but for everyone.

“In the story, the players grow through 63 (win) and losing, and their emotions can be

felt by the audience, who also face challenges and try to seek achievement in 64 own

lives,” he says.

Now its ranking of 8.4 from a total of 10 points on Douban proves that it is 65

domestic hit. Meanwhile, on social media in Japan, it has been greeted with huge support and praise.

cook dinner?” asked Mrs. Muntari.

“But, mummy, I can’t just walk out in the middle of a game!” said Mavis, who was nearly breathless after running all the way home.

“You shouldn’t be playing the game in the first place.” Mrs. Muntari said as she stopped

cooking and looked at Mavis.

“But, mum, Why can’t I? You never tell Adibe or Senzo not to play football. I had to leave the game at half time and rush back so you wouldn’t get cross with me,” said Mavis.

“You’re a girl! It is as simple as that. Boys and girls have different roles to play. I have 11

hungry mouths to feed and I need your help!” Mrs. Muntari tasted the soup. “You’re the oldest girl, so it is your job to help me. Now go and fry some more chicken. Kulu had to help me since you were not here. She burnt her finger and is still crying.

At the dinner table, Adibe and Senzo were excitedly talking about today’s game. They

talked about how Mavis scored in the first half with a power shot from the halfway line. It was a great goal as their team was losing 1-0 at that time.

高三英语试卷 第9 页 共10页

Dad came home then and brought the boys a local newspaper, in which there was news about football scouts (球探) from England. These scouts were allowed to visit various schools to look for players of the future. Adibe and Senzo looked at each other, cheered and even started arguing which one would make it as a superstar.

Mavis knew that her parents would never allow her to play football. But she decided to

secretly take this chance. She began to think about what she could do.

My Career Plan

With our graduation drawing near, I’ve made up my mind about my major and future career.

My plan is to learn computer engineering and become a computer programmer. My decision is based

on the two factors below. Firstly, I’m keen on computer engineering and believe it will surely be an essential field later. In addition, girl as I am, mathematics and physics are my favorites, which may lay a solid foundation for me to learn computer science. (81)

第二节

Soon it came to the day when the scouts visited Mavis’s school. The boys had left for the competition,

yet Mavis had to help her mum do the dishes. While she was racking her brains for a way to sneak out, she heard her little sister crying suddenly. Mum left to comfort her. “It’s the time!” Mavis thought. Despite knowing that her parents might get cross with her, she quickly rushed out and ran all the way to school.

When Mavis arrived at the playground, it was at half time. She noticed one player had his knees

terribly injured and the coach was worried. “I can replace him!” Mavis shouted. Though it was unbelievable to let a girl play, the coach agreed. During the second half, Mavis defended keenly and ran flexibly, and she made an amazing shot that caught the attention of the scouts! They turned to the coach for information about Mavis, the only girl among the players. When the game was over, the scouts all stood up and clapped their hands. Mavis was proud. She was pretty sure that football was never just a game for boys.

W: What’s the matter? You look like something is on your mind. Did you leave something in the car?

M: I thought I might have left the lights on, but I just realized that I left my wallet at home.

W: Don’t worry. I put it in my purse before we left.

M: Julia, how was your trip to Amsterdam?

W: It was great. You know the best thing I did? I rented a bicycle. It was really cool. I got to leave the college area and go out and meet some locals. They were really surprised when they found out I was

American.

M: Why is that?

W: Well, they think Americans are all rich and fat, and drive cars and never ride bicycles.

M: Yeah, well, that’s kind of true.

W: Yeah! Another interesting thing is that nobody locks their bikes there.

M: Really?

W: Yeah. Nobody steals them.

M: Why not?

W: I guess it’s because everybody has a bike.

M: Hmm, that makes sense.

M: Will you go to the supermarket to get some more vegetables for tonight, Katie? Hey, Katie? Is

everything OK?

W: Oh, Jimmy! I haven’t talked to Maria in almost a week.

M: Aren’t you best friends? Don’t you talk every day?

W: Yeah, that’s why I’m worried.

M: Have you called her?

W: I’ve sent her a bunch of text messages, but I haven’t gotten a single reply.

M: I’m sure it’s nothing. Maybe she’s out of town and didn’t bring her phone with her. I’m sure she would

have called you if something was wrong. Don’t worry.

W: I guess you’re right. Thanks. You’ve always been there for me. . ever since we were little.

M: Are you going to Spain with us next month?

W: No, unfortunately not.

M: Why not? Are you scared of flying?

W: No, it’s not that. . It’s just that I’ve never been outside the United States, so I don’t have a passport.

M: Oh, is that all? You can get one.

W: I tried to. Unfortunately, it’ll take at least six weeks for the passport to arrive, and you guys are leaving

in a month.

M: I heard if you pay an extra fee, you can get the passport in three weeks instead of the usual six.

W: That’s cutting it pretty close. What if there’s a delay?

M: Well, maybe it would be better to skip this trip. You can use your passport next year when we go to

Italy!

W: Really? I’d love to go to Italy, especially for the food.

M: Yeah, the food is amazing. But Spanish food is also pretty tasty. I’m going to get some Spanish hams in

the market there. I can pick some up for you!

W: That would be great! Much better than a T-shirt or a drum...

W: Thanks for meeting with me today.

M: Well, we need a roommate by the 1st of next month.

W: OK. So, how many of you live here?

M: There are three of us. Mary and Rob are both nursing students. I graduated last year, and I’m working in

a bank.

W: Oh, good. I’m a student as well.

M: You don’t smoke, do you? Mary refuses to live with smokers. Our last roommate claimed that she never

smoked, but sometimes, she would, and it upset Mary a lot.

W: No, no. I’m a non-smoker.

M: OK, good. My main concern is that you are quiet. We study a lot around here.

W: I’m quiet. I am also very clean.

M: Great. Rob is the cleanest one in the house, so he’ll be thrilled to hear that.

W: Do you guys ever cook dinner together?

M: Rob and Mary do. They are both very healthy; they eat salads and exercise every day...I work a lot, so I buy cooked food at a restaurant and carry it away to eat at home most nights. But sometimes they share

their food with me.

W: I love to cook, and I always make a lot. So, I’d be happy to share with you.

M: Awesome. Well, you seem like you’d fit in well in the house...When Mary and Rob get home this afternoon, I’ll tell them that I met with you. And I think they would like you. After that, I’ll give you a

call.

W: Thanks.

I sometimes wonder what life will be like in the future. Life has changed so much in just the past few years. I’m sure that there are still big changes that are coming. Do you think we’ll still drive cars? Maybe we’ll get into computerized vehicles that we won’t have to drive.We’ll just push a few buttons, and the vehicles will take us to wherever we have to go. Maybe there won’t be roads. We might just fly special

planes through space to get where we want to go. A ship will be like a floating city.It will offer everything

3

available, including a hospital, shopping malls and so on. At home, maybe we won’t have to cook our meals. We might be able to push buttons to order whatever we want.It would be nice to have a robot to

clean the house for you. In the past few years, computers have become extremely important. People used to

write letters to each other and send them through the mail. Now, people communicate so much more frequently through email or text messages. What would we do? We would still need people to program the computers. We could spend more time being creative, rather than doing everyday chores. The future holds

many surprises. I’m sure that technology will become more and more amazing. It doesn’t take long for

things to change a lot. Who knows what amazing things are in store for us?
