武威六中2020学年度第二学期高一英语第三次学段考试试卷第一部分 阅读理解（共三节，满分70分）第1节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AAnimal moms are great moms. You might be surprised at some of these moms.Octopuses (章鱼)The mother octopus lays about 50,000 eggs. For about 300 days, she stays with the eggs, cleans them and protects them. She does not leave to feed. However, this animal mom dies as soon as the eggs are hatched (孵化).CrocodilesA crocodile mother puts a lot of time and effort into raising her babies. She starts by building a nest (巢), which she guards for over two months! When the eggs are ready to hatch, the young crocs call out to their mother, who digs them out and helps them hatch. She then carries them in her mouth down to the water, where she will guard them for several more weeks or months until they learn to hunt on their own.BatsBats become moms by hanging head up in a cave, giving birth. Catching the youngster before it can fall to the ground below, she puts it in a pouch (育儿袋). Bat moms may carry babies with them when feeding for the first few days. As the little bats get bigger and heavier, moms help them hang on the wall of their caves and return often to feed them. It continues for about three weeks, until the babies are grown up and able to fly on their own.Koalas (考拉)The animal mom gives birth after a pregnancy (怀孕期) of only 35 days. The hairless baby climbs into its mothers pouch and lives there for another five months. When the little koala is between five and eight months old, it leaves the pouch for short periods of time but returns for safety. Once it is too big to return to the pouch, it will climb onto its mothers back and ride there until it is about 12 months old.1 Which animal moms die when their babies are born?A. Octopuses.B. Crocodiles. C. Bats. D. Koalas.2. A crocodile mother usually carries her baby to the water _.A. in her mouth B. on her back C. in her pouch D. by her tail3. A bat mom _.A. gives birth by lying in the nest B. gives birth by hanging in a caveC. leaves its babies in the pouch for months D. lets its babies live on their own after birthBIts a sure sign that summer is over and winter is on the way leaves that were once deep green turn red, yellow and bright orange. It happens every autumn. But did you ever wonder why?The leaves start changing color when the nights start getting longer and the temperature starts getting cooler. Some scientists think that as the number of daylight hours shrinks, the leaves stop making chlorophyll（叶绿素）which makes plants green. The reason is that the process of making chlorophyll requires sunlight. But according to horticulture (园艺) educator Susan Rose from Colorado State University, it turns out leaves dont really change color at all. “The fall colors are actually there all along,” she said. “But they are covered by the green chlorophyll. As the chlorophyll stops being produced, the other colors can shine through.”The kind of color that the leaves are going to change to is determined by the plants genetic (基因的) background. In some places, the leaves start changing color in September before autumn even officially begins. In other places, they dont change until late October or even November. Some scientists say the leaves have been changing color later than usual in recent years. And they think global warming has something to do with that.In one study, researchers found that the growing season in the Northern Hemisphere was nearly a week longer, on average, in 2020 than it was in 1982. And a professor from Harvard University found that the leaves, west of Boston, Massachusetts, are changing color about three days later than they used to. However, other scientists disagree with the global warming theory. Susan Rose said the leaves in her part of Colorado are changing “right on schedule.” But the leaves in other parts of that state are running a little late. “The lateness in the mountains may have something to do with the really warm late summer and early fall,” she said. “But Im afraid thats just a guess.”4. According to Susan Rose, _.A. the fall colors are always in leavesB. leaves make chlorophyll all the seasonsC. leaves changing color have nothing to with the weatherD. leaves begin changing color because they start making chlorophyll5 The underlined word “shrinks” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _.A. reduces B. increases C. lasts D. appears6 Scientists guess leaves change color later than usual probably as a result of _.A. genetic background B. dry weather C. global warming D. low temperature7. The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers _.A. why leaves change color at fallB. leaves change color at different timeC. the effects of the global warming on plantsD. different opinions on the lateness of leaves changing colorCMore than 10,000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.The wooden bridge across the river has been washed away. The town is cut off by flood waters. At the fifth mile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is two meters deep. It is closed to all traffic. Flooding first happened at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People trying to get to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims(受害者) had to leave all their things behind.The National Flood Relief(救济) Center was reported to give its help and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers.The flood victims are now housed in different simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang. “Everything possible is being done to help the unlucky people,” a government spokesman said, “In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public organizations and helpful people. A Disaster Relief Fund（救灾基金会）will be started as soon as possible.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang. The whole town is expected to be wholly covered by the water.

Great Help Is NeededDEvery week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee(拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the shows popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? Its possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But theres still hope for the paint brush. Chinas Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teachers examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they dont forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.12. Which of the following is closest in the meaning with the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?A. Ever Chinese can write Chinese characters easily, especially with computersB. Only with the help of computers can some Chinese people write Chinese charactersC. Despite the help of computers, Chinese people have forgotten how to writeD. Computers are the only means to rely on to write Chinese characters for many people13. What can we learn about the Character Hero?A. Its open to people of all ages and all walks.B. Its the most-viewed TV programs in China.C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D. It draws great public attention across the country.14. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people dont refer to dictionaries very often.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D. Chinese people neednt write by hand as often with the help of technology.15. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is_.A. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveD. an ability to be developed only when you are students第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As we know, everyone can make mistakes, but dont worry about it.
