1、徐州一中20192020学年度高二寒假第三次检测英 语第一部分:阅读理解(共两节，满分 50 分)第一节(共 15 个小题:每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ASeventy-three-year-old Gary selected his food in Value Mart more carefully than NASA chose its candidates for the space shuttle. Skim milk was $2.99, on sale from $3.49;
2、 white bread, 89 cents with a discount; table salt, 99 cents, 20 cents off the regular price. Leaving the cashier (收银员), he estimated that he had saved 80 cents today. He was pleased that he had got good value for his money again.At the exit, the cold wind reminded him of his gloves. “Now where are
3、they?” Not in the coat pockets. Not in the grocery bag either. The worried man made a thorough search of all his pockets, again including the grocery bag. Now he was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.Old Gary had bought the black gloves at a 25% discount ten years ago. His
4、quick decision to buy the expensive gloves turned out to be a good one, which even promoted his social status on the bus, as poorer passengers stared at him enviously. Losing this favorite possession was almost like losing a child to him.Gary re-entered the store with long steps. He followed the sam
5、e route he had walked before. There were all open passages and it did not take long to be convinced that the gloves were not in sight.“Society has changed, people have changed”, he murmured to himself. “Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Not anymore!”On his way
6、 out, he went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves. She asked him what color they were, and when he said “black”, there came a disappointing answer. He took his time now, finally walking out of the store.Back home, Gary was at a loss. In deep winter, he could not do without
7、 a pair of gloves. He was very upset that people no longer returned things they found on the road.After a month, Gary decided to buy another leather pair. Before boarding the subway, he stepped into Value Mart again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office. “
8、What color are they?” the woman in the office asked again. “Black,” he gave the same answer. She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of mens leather gloves. “Are they?”“Yes! Those are mine!” Gary exclaimed, his eyes glowing with joy.1. According to the passage, Gary thought his buying the glo
9、ves to be _.A. unnecessaryB. hot-headedC. wiseD. adventurous2. What can we infer about Gary?A. He is particular about food. B. He is not well off.C. He holds a pessimistic attitude towards life.D. He doesnt get along well with his neighborhood.3. In Garys opinion, why couldnt he recover his gloves a
10、t first?A. He was not careful enough.B. The cashier forgot to return his gloves.C. A customer took his gloves by mistake.D. Someone picked up his gloves and kept them on purpose.BRole-Playing in Child DevelopmentPlaying is a key component in the learning process for virtually all of the children. Th
11、ere are various ways in which children play, but one of the most important is role-playing. This involves a child engaging in an activity during which he or she pretends to be another person.Experts on child development believe that role-playing can increase the connections in childrens brains that
12、help them learn. Language skills are some of the most important aspects of learning. When children role-play, they must work out steps that need to be taken to complete a task, and create plans to act out a story. These activities enable children to develop their oral language skills. They become ab
13、le to organize others and to give directions.Childrens social skills can also be developed. When engaged in group activities, children have different roles. Some are leaders while others are followers. At times, the children will disagree, so they must learn to negotiate and compromise with one anot
14、her, and they must learn to apologize when they have strong arguments or disagreements as well. Children further learn about cooperation and sharing and, hopefully, begin to understand things from another persons point of view.Besides helping children learn some kinds of skills, role-playing fosters
15、 childrens imaginations and can therefore assume a number of forms. For example, boys may pretend to shave like their fathers or perform various tasks around their homes. Girls, meanwhile, often pretend to be mothers to do some daily tasks, particularly if it involves caring for young babies. Someti
16、mes children may imagine belonging to a group of superheroes or imitate(模仿)real-life situations. They might dress up and assume different roles. Another example is the performing of stories they read in books, which is also very common when they role-play.Another beneficial aspect of role-playing is
17、 that it can help children deal with certain actions that may cause them emotional(情感的) pain, such as the fear they face when going to school for the first time or making a visit to the doctor. If children role-play situations like these beforehand, the first that they experience when doing these ac
18、tions in reality frequently lessons. For this reason, experts encourage parents to allow their children to role-play and even to take part in these activities to help their children master their fears.Role-playing can benefit children in many ways. There is no activity for which young children are b
19、etter prepared than fantasy play. Nothing is more dependable and risk-free, and the dangers are only pretend.4. From the authors description in Paragraph 4, we learn that children often _. .A. act out the activities that their parents doB. perform daily tasks instead of their parentsC. involve daily
20、-life activities in groupsD. change real-life situation when role-playing5. The author believes that role-playing may help children _. .A. develop a better awareness of grammarB. understand how to be both leaders and followersC. improve creativity by using their imaginationsD. receive benefits from
21、their emotional pain6. The underlined word “master” in Paragraph 5 probably means _. .A ignoreB. confirmC. overcomeD. predictCAttitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological s
22、hift.It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesnt seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether theyd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride
23、 in one, while 50 percent did not.The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car nowand no one can get one yetbut among those who are open to them, every age gr
24、oup is similarly involved.Actually, this isnt surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own, are one
25、of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related
26、to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education, 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.Where a person lives m
27、atters, too. More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.While theres reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a persons age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can beco
28、me mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.7. What happens when a new technology appears?A. It often leads to great inventions in other related fields.B. It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a w
29、hole.C. It further widens the gap between the old and the young.D. It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.8. What does the author say about the driverless car?A. It does not seem to create a generational divide.B. It will not necessarily reduce road accidents.C. It has given
30、rise to unrealistic expectations.D. It may start a revolution in the car industry.9. Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?A. It helps with their moving.B. It saves their money and energy.C. It adds to the safety of their travel.D. It makes their life more interesting.10. What is lik
31、ely to affect ones attitude toward the driverless car?A. The field of their special interest.B. The location of their living place.C. The amount of training they received.D. The length of their driving experience.DAs Connie took the plates away, I noticed a stack of newspapers that had obviously bee
32、n read before I got there.You bother keeping up with the news, I asked? Yes, Morrie said. Do you think thats strange? Do you think because Im dying, I shouldnt care what happens in this world?Maybe.He sighed. Maybe youre right. Maybe I shouldnt care. After all, I wont be around to see how it all tur
33、ns out.But its hard to explain, Mitch. Now that Im suffering, I feel closer to people who suffer than I ever did before. The other night, on TV, I saw people in Bosnia running across the street, getting fired upon, killed, innocent victims . . . and I just started to cry. I feel their anguish as if
34、it were my own. I dont know any of these people. But-how can I put this?-Im almost . . . drawn to them.His eyes got moist, and I tried to change the subject, but he dabbed his face and waved me off.I cry all the time now, he said. Never mind.Amazing, I thought. I worked in the news business. I cover
35、ed stories where people died. I interviewed grieving family members. I even attended the funerals. I never cried. Morrie, for the suffering of people half a world away, was weeping. Is this what comes at the end, I wondered? Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make
36、 strangers shed a tear for one another.Morrie honked loudly into the tissue. This is okay with you, isnt it? Men crying?Sure, I said, too quickly.He grinned. Ah, Mitch, Im gonna loosen you up. One day, Im gonna show you its okay to cry.Yeah, yeah, I said. Yeah, yeah, he said.We laughed because he us
37、ed to say the same thing nearly twenty years earlier. Mostly on Tuesdays. In fact, Tuesday had always been our day together. Most of my courses with Morrie were on Tuesdays, he had office hours on Tuesdays, and when I wrote my senior thesis which was pretty much Morries suggestion, right from the st
38、art-it was on Tuesdays that we sat together, by his desk, or in the cafeteria, or on the steps of Pearlman Hall, going over the work.So it seemed only fitting that we were back together on a Tuesday, here in the house with the Japanese maple out front. As I readied to go, I mentioned this to Morrie.
39、Were Tuesday people, he said. Tuesday people, I repeated.Morrie smiled.Mitch, you asked about caring for people I dont even know. But can I tell you the thing Im learning most with this disease?Whats that?The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.His vo
40、ice dropped to a whisper. Let it come in. We think we dont deserve love, we think if we let it in well become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said, Love is the only rational(理性的) act. He repeated it carefully, pausing for effect. Love is the only rational act. I nodded, like
41、a good student, and he exhaled weakly. I leaned over to give him a hug. And then, although it is not really like me, I kissed him on the cheek. I felt his weakened hands on my arms, the thin stubble of his whiskers brushing my face.So youll come back next Tuesday? he whispered.11. What kind of perso
