9、. By the time I got outside, hed broken it. Can I take this to school today? he asked. With a wave of my hand, I sent him off. I turned my back so he wouldnt see the tears gathering in my eyes. The washing machine had leaked on my brand-new linoleum. If only my husband had just taken the time to fix
10、 it the night before when I asked him instead of playing checkers with Jonathan. It was days like this that made me want to quit. I just wanted to drive up to the mountains hide in a cave, and never come out. Somehow I spent most of the day washing and drying clothes and thinking how love had disapp
11、eared from my life. As I finished hanging up the last of my husbands shirts, I looked at the clock. 2: 30. I was late. Jonathans class let out at 2: 15 and I hurriedly drove to the school. I was out of breath by the time I knocked on the teachers door and peered through the glass. She rustled throug
12、h the door and took me aside. I want to talk to you about Jonathan, she said.I prepared myself for the worst. Nothing would have surprised me. Did you know Jonathan brought flowers to school today? she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite bush and trying to hide the hurt in my eyes. Let me te
13、ll you about yesterday, the teacher insisted. See that little girl? I watched the brighteyed child laugh and point to a colorful picture taped to the wall. I nodded. Well, yesterday she was almost hysterical. Her mother and father are going through a nasty divorce. She told me she didnt want to live
14、, she wished she could die. I watched that little girl bury her face in her hands and say loud enough for the class to hear, Nobody loves me. I did all I could to comfort her, but it only seemed to make matters worse. I thought you wanted to talk to me about Jonathan, I said. I do, she said, touchin
15、g the sleeve of my blouse. Today your son walked straight over to that child. I watched him hand her some pretty pink flowers and whisper, I love you. I felt my heart swell with pride for what my son had done. I smiled at the teacher. Thank you, I said, reaching for Jonathans hand, youve made my day
16、. Later that evening, I began pulling weeds from around my azalea bush. As my mind wandered back to the love Jonathan showed the little girl, a biblical verse came to me:these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. While my son had put love into practice, I had only f
17、elt anger. I heard the familiar squeak of my husbands brakes as he pulled into the drive. I snapped a small limb bristling with hot pink azaleas off the bush. I felt the seed of love that God planted in my family beginning to bloom once again in me. My husbands eyes widened in surprise as I handed h
18、im the flowers. I love you, I said.4. Why did the woman cry when seeing her son had broken the azalea bush?A. Because she could not tolerate the harm to it.B. Because it made her bad mood even worse.C. Because her son did not ask her for permission.D. Because she wanted to hand it to her husband.5.

We can infer fro
20、m the passage that the writer expressed love to her husband in that_.A. she was inspired by her son that love was supposed to be felt and practicedB. she felt guilty that she misunderstood her husband and wanted to apologizeC. she felt it necessary to have a complete family for the happiness of hers
21、elfD. she wanted to prove her love and expected the same words from her husband7. What did the teacher intend to express when telling the story of the little girl?A. the girl was from a poor family.B. the troublesome work at school.C. the love between the girl and the authors son.D. the author shoul
22、d be proud of her son.CAlmost every community has some form of rules and some way of enforcing them. So why do we have rules, and what makes people follow them?Studies have suggested that the reason we dont like rule-breaking is because fairness is programmed into our brains. Scientists have found t
23、hat the brain reacts in a particular way when we feel we are being treated unfairly.A fair situation makes us feel comfortable and even happy, but unfairness causes our brains to respond with negative feelings.The study found that this a so happened when subjects saw others being treated unfairly. T
24、hey concluded that fairness is one of basic human needs.Arriving at a feeling of fairness means considering different, often conflicting, points of view. Regardless of the disagreement, people almost always need to compromise. But it can be difficult to arrive at a compromise when there are conflict
25、ing interests. This is why communities have rules that everyone must follow.Social controls are an important factor in setting and following rules.They influence the way we be have, and can be internal (内在的) or external. Internal controls come from within and are based on our values and fears. Most
26、of us dont steal, for example, because we believe that theft is unfair and wrong. We also dont want to disappoint our family and friends. In other words, our internal controls keep us from behaving in ways that cause conflict.External controls include rewards and punishments. Rewards, such as job pr
27、omotions and praise, are designed to encourage people to be have and actin the interest of the whole community.Punishments, such as public embarrassment, fines, and even imprisonment can prevent people from acting against the communitys best interests.People need their communities to function smooth
28、ly.If there were no rules, most people would probably still behave positively. However, there would always be a minority who would not. This is why a society without rules is unlikely to exist.8. What does the underlined word this in paragraph 2 refer to?A. A program in human brains.B. A comfortable
29、 situation.C. The response with bad feelings.D. The requirement off fairness.9. Why do communities have rules?A. To punish illegal activities.B. To prevent disagreement.C. To promote fairness.D. To meet various demands.10. Which of the following is an example of internal control?A. Take exams honest
30、ly because cheating is shamefulB. Park in the right place so as not to get a parking ticket.C. Pay the electricity bill on time in order not to get a late fee.D. Cooperate with your classmates to win a prize for your class.11. What is the best title for this passage?A. Living by the rulesB. Why comm
31、unities need rulesC. Reaching a compromiseD. How fairness functionsDConcerned about pollution and congestion (拥塞), a growing number of local governments are trying to reduce the number of drivers in Europes big cities. Some, like London and Stockholm, have introduced congestion charges to discourage
32、 driving during peak hours. Paris has tried banning cars from driving on certain days, depending on whether they have even or odd number plates. Perhaps the most ambitious plan to curb cars comes from Oslo, Norways capital.The change that is most easily to be noticed in Oslo is somewhat different fr
33、om that in other European cities. Late last year the government removed some 700 parking spaces from the city centre, replacing them with benches, bicycles and more pavements. The mere 50 or so spots that remain are largely reserved for handicapped residents and local businesses that rely on deliver
34、ies. Another big change has come in the form of zoning reform. Some roads in the city centre have been closed off to private cars; others have been changed so that traffic can only flow in one direction.Enforcement has been severe, though. The city government has placed signs informing drivers of th
35、e new rules, but not everyone has paid them much attention. In addition, Norways conservatives believe strongly in the idea of car ownership, and shopkeepers worry that fewer cars might mean fewer customers. It is still too early to assess how effective the new measures have been. Still, early data
36、show that pedestrian traffic in the city centre was up by 10% in the fourth quarter of 2018 over a year earlier, which suggests the reforms are working as intended.Hanna Marcussen, vice-mayor for urban development and a member of the Green Party, notes that Oslos most successful shops are on the hig
37、h street, where most customers are pedestrians anyway. The government is busy compiling tax records to measure the economic impact of its reforms. Research on Stockholms congestion-pricing scheme finds that the benefits from factors such as shorter travel times and safer roads far outweigh the fees
38、paid by drivers.The fact that the citys efforts to control traffic have been controversial has forced the government to take an incremental (递增的) approach, constantly negotiating with suspicious business owners. Ms Marcussen compares the governments traffic reforms to Norways public-smoking ban, whi
39、ch was passed in 2004. She said many people complained before the law was passed, but few today would demand loudly to let people smoke in pubs again.12. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “curb” in paragraph 1?A. Support.B. Control.C. Replace.D. Abandon.13. What is
40、the most visible change in Oslo?A. The removal of public parking.B. Creating more one-way traffic.C. The limitation on cars in rush hours.D. Placing strict restrictions on private cars.14. What message is conveyed in the third paragraph?A. Cars are hardly banned.B. Anti-car policies are in vain.C. T
41、he car industry is declining.D. The reforms havent come easily.15. What does Ms. Marcussen mean in the end?A New things need to be tested repeatedly.B. Timing is important to the success of reforms.C. More efforts are to be put in the traffic reforms.D. Most people will finally support the traffic r

50、doing this since age 8. At first, I was scared to death. It was like, Lets do bowling or swimming. It s still very scary. But he knows what hes doing. said his mother. The sixth-grader always wears pajamas to the track every night and takes them off when he puts his race clothes on. Hes been doing t
51、hat for the last four years. That s his trademark, said Tim Phillips, his crew chief. The first time he wore his train pajamas to the track, Keegan went from last place to ninth place. He decided they brought luck. Since then, he has won a series of championships. Passion for cars runs in the family
52、. Keegan s father is a design mechanic at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. He knows what it means to have seats and roll cages built to fit his sons body.

57、 demonstrated the fragility of global food systems, “but it also offers opportunities to change the way we produce, distribute and consume food.” Guido Barilla, Chairman of Barilla Croup and Barilla Foundation, said, “We need a positive movement to accelerate, refine and design a more sustainable fu
58、ture and raise awareness in peoplecompanies, citizens, institutions-that another future is possible.”Danielle Nierenberg, President and Founder of Food Tank, said, “the pandemic has had a huge impact on the worlds food and agricultural systems.” “Ironically, there will be record yields for many grai
59、ns this year, but the disruptions in the supply chain caused by the pandemic as well as the global climate crisis and increasing conflict in several countries is leading to a hunger pandemic as well,” she pointed out. “Hunger, as many experts have pointed out, is not because the world doesnt produce
60、 enough food, but a problem of distribution that has been exacerbated by concerns over health and lack of national leadership and political will in many countries to ensure that no one goes hungry,” said Nierenberg. Jeffrey Sachs, Professor and Director of the Center for Sustainable Development, Col
61、umbia University and Director, said, “Changing the food system is a complex challenge, but the first step is to know where we want to go, and that s toward a healthy diet produced with sustainable agriculture.” Abby Maxman, Oxfam Americas President & CEO, said “COVID-19 is the final straw for millio
62、ns of people already struggling with the impacts of conflict, inequality, and climate change.”“The pandemic is fueling hunger in the worlds worst hunger hotspots such as Venezuela and South Sudan, and it is creating new epicenters of hunger in countries such as India, South Africa, and Brazil where
63、millions of people have been tipped over the edge by the pandemic.” she said.She also pointed out, “COVID-19 has exposed the weaknesses of a food system which prioritizes the profits of big food and agriculture companies over the needs of food producers and workers.”8. What is the purpose of the aut
64、hor to write the passage?A. To discuss the food produceB. To introduce a new method to produce foodC. To show the difficult situation about global food systems.D. To develop the relationship between the citizens and food9. Why is Guido Barilla concerned about food problems?A. Another food future is
65、comingB. Global food systems are in danger.C. The way we produce food is changing.D. A positive food movement is on the way.10. What can we infer about the situation for the food produce according to Abby Maxman?A. COVID-19 will push all people into starving.B. COVID-19 will push poor people into st
66、arving.C. COVID-19 will draw the world economy back.D. COVID-19 is the last straw for the world economy.11. What can you learn from the last paragraph?A. Agriculture companies will need many facilities.B. Agriculture companies will need many profitsC. Agriculture companies will need a big food syste
67、m.D. Agriculture companies will need many workers.DWhen you are standing in front of fruit shelves in the supermarket, what is your attitude toward the imperfect tomatoes? Will you be blind to the ugly tomatoes without any hesitation and even throw them aside in disgust? Or will you put them in the
68、shopping baskets without discrimination(歧视)? Most of you will be the former.Ugly produce is always left along the whole supply chain. After rounds of selection from farmers, packers and retailers, the annual percentage of eatable food waste is more than 30%(900,000 tons)before the produce arrives at
69、 shop shelves. These eatable wastes can feed over 2 million people per year. Besides, we also should not ignore the investment in the production process and the pollution caused by rot. For example, one-kilogram apple production consumes 822 litres of water. One ton of vegetables or fruits that are
70、thrown away can produce around 800 litres of polluted water. And food transport is also a source of greenhouse gas. Is there any great option to maximize farmer interests and reduce further losses? The answer is YES. After Woolworth in Australia and Countdown in New Zealand introduced The Odd Bunch,
71、 many retailers in America attempted to develop similar projects that could build a bridge between consumers and farmers, and offer ugly produce at more competitive prices. Through these projects, retail enterprises have built corporate reputation and gained confidence from the public. Farmers have
72、significantly reduced the planting cost because of vast purchasing requirements from retailers. Consumers have enjoyed the similar taste at lower prices. All the food is born equal, and all the food has the same right to be enjoyed. We shouldnt discriminate food through its uncommon looking. Lifes m
73、isery(eg. exposure to the burning sun)will contribute to a more pleasant taste of food. Please value the unique appearance and qualities of these special foods!12. What does the underlined phrase the former in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Hesitating in front of the ugly tomatoes.B. Leaving the ugly tomat
74、oes on the shelves.C. Picking out the ugly tomatoes from the shelves.D. Buying the ugly tomatoes without discrimination.13. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. Ugly food attracts consumers attention.B. Food selection leads to the rise in prices.C. Millions starve to death because of food waste.D.
75、Discrimination against ugly food causes pollution.14. According to the text, an effective solution to reduce food waste is_.A. to use ugly food to solve the water crisisB. to make ugly food affordable to those in needC. to make electricity and fertilizer out of ugly foodD. to attract people to the u

85、unior, Hoy says the books advice can apply to anything, whether its sport, the arts or science.When he was young, Hoy never thought he would have a career in cycling. “First of all, I wasnt that good at it,” he says. He ever thought that successful people were just certain to be great and were diffe
86、rent from everyone else. But after growing up, Hoy realized that wasnt true and he saw whatever can happen if you work hard at something you love. He wonhis first gold medal at the 2004 Olympics in Greece in a time trial event. In this event, the cyclists took it in turns to see who could go the fas
87、test round a track. Before Hoys turn came, the world record had been broken three times. However, he focused on his own performance and won gold. Hoy said hearing his name followed by the words “Olympic champion” was truly magical.If Hoy could give his younger self a piece of advice, it would be, “N

92、rt.I have a friend named Jack. At the age of 37, he is a Senior Manager at one of the Big Four. He has a great salary, owns his own apartment and enjoys the fine things in life, but not without the heavy burdens that his job brings. On the surface, it looks like he has got life figured out. Yet when
93、 I once asked if he was happy with his work, he answered that he sometimes wished to quit his job to do something less stressful. But hed become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.For him, the risks are too high, so whether he cant
94、 abide his present job or not, he has to choose to suck it up. You might have come to a similar situation as Jacks or you might be a Jack. Youre now facing a wall. No matter what it is the stress of your job or the terrible feeling, its time that you had to decide whether youll tear down that wall o
95、r continue to let it enclose you. I suggest pushing back the boundaries and breaking the fixed patterns. Why do you feel its too late to start over? That is simply because youre comparing yourself with others younger or more successful individuals. In fact, you should compare yourself with the older
96、 version of you.Dont become that person who lets life pass by only to regret it when you are making your way into old age. Dont let your life plateau(停滞不前) and waste away in the daily chores.

100、oplastic to be something like a grain of rice or a sesame seed. Actually, most of the microplastics that people are interacting with are quite a bit smaller than the sesame seed size, so it always shocks people when they knowabout the number of microplastics because they can hardly see a lot of thes
101、e things, at least with the naked eye.Kieran Cox, a PhD candidate in marine(海洋的) biology at the University of Victoria, is one of the authors of the study, which is in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. For their study, Cox and his team pulled together past scientific literature that ca
102、lculated the number of microplastics in things we commonly consume, such as in tap and bottled water, sugars, seafood even in the air that we breathe. This analysis helped them figure out the baseline amount of microplastics that people are consuming every year. They couldnt include common foods lik
103、e beef, vegetables and dairy in their analysis because the data on them doesnt exist yet. In fact, their study could account for only 15 percent of peoples caloric in-take. Even missing the majority of what people swallow, the research revealed that at the very least humans appear to consume somewhe
104、re between 74,000 and 121,000 microplastics every year. That number goes up for people drinking bottled water rather than tap water.Now, is all the plastic safe to take in? Scientists dont know yet. This is like the first estimate of the dose which means an amount of a medicine that is taken once. S
105、o the amount is a very important factor to think about, but it is very difficult to estimate because it is what we dont know.32What do we know about the microplastic?A. Its much bigger than a grain of rice.B. Its barely seen without an instrument.C. It can be a kind of fish feed.D. Its harmless to h
106、umans.33What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The study of microplastics people consume.B. The analysis of past scientific literature.C. The amount of microplastics in food.D. The study of marine biology.34Which aspect should scientists focus on in further study according to the text?A. Makin

124、ually bad for us. From an evolutionary perspective, it plays an important role in our survival, Martin says: “It helps alert us to the fact that weve been wronged. ” When your heart starts to pound and your face gets hot, thats anger increasing your blood flow in preparation for a showdown (决战). “It
125、s our fight or flight response, used to energize us to deal with injustice,” he explains Anger only becomes a problem when we cant manage it. Managing your anger, it turns out, is all about managing your thoughts. While anger may inform us of a threateven if its just to our reputationits the thought

Thats why strategies like cognitive behavioral therapy, which teach people healthier thought patterns, can be so successful.Rather than ignore our anger, Martin wants us to see what our anger is telling us.

If medical workers do not arrive at the scene of such emergencies within 10 minutes, the chances of a victim surviving are minimal.In September, a 45-year-old man fell unconscious at Huoying station on Line 13 of the Beijing Subway. He d
131、ied later in the hospital, despite attempts by two passengers to revive him by using cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR. However, if an automated external defibrillator, or AED, had been a vailable at the scene, the mans chances of survival would have been greatly improved.An AED can recognize an
132、 abnormal lheart rhythm and quickly correct it through an electric shock. The devices are viewed in medical circles as a more efficient and effective method of saving lives in emergencies than using CPR.

185、 to discourage driving during peak hours. Paris has tried banning cars from driving on certain days, depending on whether they have even or odd number plates. Perhaps the most ambitious plan to curb cars comes from Oslo, Norways capital.”(一些城市,如伦敦和斯德哥尔摩,已经开始征收交通拥堵费,以阻止在高峰时间开车。巴黎已经尝试在某些日子禁止汽车行驶,这取决于汽
186、车牌照是偶数还是奇数。也许最雄心勃勃的curb汽车计划来自挪威首都奥斯陆。),可知伦敦、斯德哥尔摩和巴黎都在采取措施控制汽车出行,而挪威首都奥斯陆也和这些城市一样采取了控制汽车计划,curb在此处意为“Control(控制)”。故选B项。【13题详解】细节理解题。由第二段中的“The change that is most easily to be noticed in Oslo is somewhat different from that in other European cities.

187、rking spaces from the city centre, replacing them with benches, bicycles and more pavements.”(奥斯陆最容易注意到的变化与其他欧洲城市有所不同。去年年底,政府从市中心拆除了约700个停车位,取而代之的是长凳、自行车和更多的人行道。),可知奥斯陆最明显的变化是拆除了公共停车区域。故选A项。【14题详解】推理判断题。由第三段中的“The city government has placed signs informing drivers of the new rules, but not everyone
188、has paid them much attention. In addition, Norways conservatives believe strongly in the idea of car ownership, and shopkeepers worry that fewer cars might mean fewer customers.”(市政府已经贴出告示,告知司机新规,但并不是每个人都很重视。此外,挪威的保守派强烈相信拥有汽车的想法,店主担心汽车减少可能意味着顾客减少。),可知对于此次改革并不是所有人都赞同,有许多反对声音,说明此次改革来之不易。故选D项。【15题详解】推理
189、判断题。由最后一段“The fact that the citys efforts to control traffic have been controversial has forced the government to take an incremental (递增的) approach, constantly negotiating with suspicious business owners. Ms Marcussen compares the governments traffic reforms to Norways public-smoking ban, which was
190、 passed in 2004. She said many people complained before the law was passed, but few today would demand loudly to let people smoke in pubs again.”(城市控制交通的努力一直备受争议,这一事实迫使政府采取渐进的方式,不断与持怀疑态度的企业主谈判。马库森将政府的交通改革比作挪威2004年通过的公共禁烟令。她说,在这项法律通过之前,很多人都抱怨过,但现在很少有人会大声要求让人们在酒吧吸烟。),可知此次交通改革与挪威2004年通过的公共禁烟令一样,一开始人们都会
191、抱怨反对,但实行一段时间后,就像不会有人要求让人们在酒吧吸烟一样(即不吸烟,赞同公共禁烟了),人们也不会觉得交通改革不好。由此推知,大多数人最终会支持交通改革。故选D项。内蒙古包头市2021届高三第一次模拟考试英语试题【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D【答案】12. B 13. D 14.
