Vi舒中高三统考英语 第1页 (共10页)舒中高三统考英语 第2页 (共10页)sits to the White House are in high demand, and you must make your request through your member of Congress up to six months, and no fewer than 21 days, before your visit. Be sure to check the White House tour-info Web site to make sure about the personal identification youll need. And before the day of your visit, call 202-456-7041 to confirm the tour schedule. Lincolns Cottage-Lincolns Cottage, the hilltop home where President Lincoln lived during part of the Civil War, is simply furnished but features lighting effects and actors recordings that reveal Lincolns thoughts on slavery and the war. In the library you can actually see the ghost lines of where the library shelves would have been, says cottage director Erin Carlson Mast. We havent re-created the bookshelves because that was such an amazing moment of discovery for us that we wanted to preserve that so people can have that moment of discovery themselves. Library of Congress-The Library of Congress is housed in three buildings: the Thomas Jefferson Building, James Madison Memorial Building and the John Adams Building. Although trying to see all of it in one day is possible, its probably best to do a little thinking ahead and figure out which areas youd really like to explore (i. e. when your feet start to hurt, you wont feel so bad about not catching everything). The most popular visitor destination is the Thomas Jefferson Building, but there are things worth seeing-murals(壁画),sculptures, performances-elsewhere in the complex.21. Which is true about the White House ? A. It is a new tourist attraction. B. It is open only to members of Congress. C. A reservation for a visit is required. D. You should call 202-456-7041 during your visit.22. In Lincolns Cottage, you can . A. see actors giving performances B. see the bookshelves in the study C. hear the recorded voice of Lincoln D. learn about Lincolns opinions on slavery23. The paragraph about the Library of Congress implies that . A. there is so much to see there B. there are so many visitors there C. you neednt spend so much time there D. you should drive there instead of walking B Like people, plants experience stress. And also, like people, the response to that stress can determine success. Bad environmental conditions, such as drought, flood, heat and other stresses, affect yields(产量) more than crop pests and diseases. We are trying to find a way to equip plants with the ability to tolerate environmental stress and maintain high yields, said Stephen Howell, a professor of genetics and cell biology. Plant cells produce proteins and ship them to different parts of the cell. Under normal conditions, these proteins are folded into their normal, healthy structures as they are produced. When a plant is under stress, its cells produce poorly folded or unfolded proteins. Then a built-in system senses this and sets off an alarm in the cell, said Howell. In response to the alarm, another protein (IRE1) starts working and creates a different process which activates (激活) the stress response genes whose products bring about defensive measures that help the plant survive. As it turns out, responses that are activated under stress conditions actually inhibit the growth of plants, said Howell. This allows them to preserve their energy to survive the stress conditions. For plants in the wild, this response is a help for survival, he said. In production of agriculture crops, however, this response reduces yields. You dont want crop plants to stop growing, Howell said. You want them to continue to grow and produce even though they are under stress. With the new understanding of this stress response, the next step may be to silence the alarm system, said Howell. What may be important is to disable some of these stress responses. That may make the plant more productive under stress conditions. 24. According to the text, an alarm in the plant cells is caused by . A. the folded proteins B. the changed proteins C. the defensive measures D. the stress response genes25. The energy preserved in the plants under stress conditions . A. helps the plants to survive B. helps to maintain high yields C. keeps the plants growing D. helps to produce proteins26. The underlined word inhibit in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by _. . A. prevent B. start C. continue D. promote27. How does Howell intend to make crop plants maintain high yields under stress conditions? A. By making crop plants keep more energy. B. By making crop plants stop growing. C. By making the alarm system stop working. D. By making the alarm system respond quickly.CSome students who took the International English Language Testing System(IELTS) exam in August and September, 2020 have had their results withheld (隐瞒)permanently, sending a strong signal that the examiners intend to stamp out cheating, some senior language tutors said.Yang Yuting, chief language training tutor at Amber Education, an overseas education consulting agency, said there have been a few cases in which candidates IELTS results were canceled in recent years, leaving the students with no qualification but this is the first time he has heard that results, including those of some of his students, were withheld permanently, meaning IELTS will not give the students their results, nor will they give them to others.Wang Xin, a senior student at the Communication University of China in Beijing, took an IELTS test on August 1 and the results were due within 10 working days. But she was then informed that her results were undergoing routine checks. Soon after that, she received an e-mail telling her that a decision has been made to withhold this result permanently and stating that Wang had breached (违反)IELTS test rules and regulations.A number of students who took the test during the past two months in cities including Nanjing, Changsha and Guangzhou, have had the same experience. Many test takers said they were confused because they didnt know how they had breached the rules and regulations.IELTS authorities said in an e-mail to China Daily that IELTS takes the responsibility of providing test results very seriously. Results are only withheld in cases where there is strong evidence to suggest that the candidates have not observed IELTS regulations. In these cases, we are unable to guarantee that their result is a true reflection of their English language skills, they said in the e-mail, although they gave no figures of how many students were i舒中高三统考英语 第3页 (共10页)舒中高三统考英语 第4页 (共10页)nvolved. We regret any inconvenience this may cause, but these measures are essential to protect the value of the results for more than 2.5 million test takers every year. Hundreds of thousands of people take IELTS in China every year and the number of results which are permanently withheld is a tiny proportion(比例),they said.Hu Min, president of New Channel International Education Group, an English-language tutorial agency in China, said a major cause of results being withheld might be an extreme imbalance in performance levels in the four sections of the test. For example, if a student scores very high in the reading and listening sections while performing poorly in writing and speaking, IELTS authorities may suspect that the test taker has memorized the reading and listening questions a practice that is very popular among Chinese test takers, he said. IELTS authorities discourage such a practice and would determine that the scores cant reflect the real English level if test takers do so.28Students whose results were withheld were .A.surprised at the news B.to take a make-up testC.informed of the reasons by letter D.aware of the reasons in their own heart29According to Paragraph 5, IELTS authorities .A.canceled the results once getting any evidence B.keep a record of how many results were canceledC.acknowledge that only a few results were canceledD.canceled results of test takers from several Asian countries30What can we know about IELTS results?A.They are announced through an e-mail. B.All results will be rechecked by examiners.C.They are announced in at least ten days. D.The results include scores of four different parts.31Whats the attitude of IELTS authorities towards those with an extremely imbalanced performance in the test?A.Supportive.B.Forgiving.C.Skeptical.D.Indifferent.DJane arrives at Thornfield, having been met at the George Inn. Mrs. Fairfax confuses her a little at first, because she is so informal and welcoming. But in due course Jane discovers that Mrs. Fairfax is the housekeeper. Janes pupil, Adele Varens, is the eight-year-old French child under the legal protection of Mr. Edward Rochester, the owner of the house. (We learn later that her mother had claimed she was his illegitimate daughter. Mr. Rochester is not convinced by this claim, but felt he could not leave the little girl poor when her mother died.) Adele is a pleasant little girl, even if she is not a particularly eager student. Life goes on very peacefully for three months, until the return of Mr. Rochester. Jane first meets him on his horse, and her description of him is quite fanciful. He takes a fall and Jane helps him, although she does not know who he is until they are both back at Thornfield. It is obvious to the reader, although not to Jane, that the reason why Mr. Rochester stays at Thornfield much longer than usual is that he finds her company enjoyable. Jane, unknowingly at first, falls in love with him. Their closeness is very apparent. There is something about Thornfield that is mysterious. Jane is encouraged to focus her attention on the servant Grace Poole, who is Mr. Rochesters mad wife Bertha Masons keeper at Thornfield, and whose drunken carelessness frequently allows Bertha to escape and do something violent. It is clear to the reader, though, that Mr. Rochesters emotional engagement is immense. When his bed is set on fire, Jane rescues him, but does not understand why the matter is not pursued, despite Mr. Rochester assuring her the criminal is Grace. The next morning Grace behaves as though she has done nothing wrong. Eventually, Mr. Rochester leaves, to go to a house party. He brings everyone at the party back with him, transforming the atmosphere in the house, and delighting Adele. One of the guests is Blanche Ingram, whom Mr. Rochester is confidently expected to marry. However, it is clear from the way she is portrayed in the book that she is too proud; our sympathies are not with her. Mr. Rochester is called away from the house, and when he returns he chooses to play the role of a fortune teller. It is clear to the reader that one of his motives is to try to turn Blanche against the idea of marriage to him. While he has clearly bothered her, he is unsuccessful. One afternoon, Jane hears that her cousin John Reed is dead and Mrs. Reed, who is probably on her deathbed, has been asking for her. With strict instructions from Mr. Rochester to return quickly, she sets off to Gateshead. On arrival, she realizes she no longer hates her cousins. However, Mrs. Reed is still bitter towards her, owing to the fact that Janes mother was Mr Reeds favourite sister and this resulted in him apparently favouring Jane over his own children. A short time later, Mrs. Reed gives Jane a letter from her uncle, John Eyre, that was written three years earlier. It explains how he planned to adopt Jane and allow her to inherit his fortune. Mrs. Reed never handed the letter over because of her bitterness. Jane tries once more to seek reconciliation (和解), but without success; her aunt dies that night.32. Who does the underlined word “she” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Jane. B. Mrs. Fairfax. C. Adele Varens. D. Grace Poole.33. The story of Adele Varens mainly indicates that _. A. women have a low social status B. Mr. Rochester is sympathetic C. Mr. Rochester is irresponsible D. girls are often abandoned by their parents 34. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Mr. Rochester expects Blanche to marry him. B. Mr. Rochester plays the role of a fortune teller to attract Jane.C. Jane and Mr. Rochester enjoy each others company in Thornfield. D. Grace Poole often gets drunk and does something violent.35. Why is Mrs. Reed bitter towards Jane? A. Because Jane inherited Mr. Reeds fortune. B. Because Jane didnt get along well with her cousins. C. Because Janes mother was more beautiful than Mrs. Reed. D. Because Mr. Reed loved Jane more than his own children.舒中高三统考英语 第5页 (共10页)舒中高三统考英语 第6页 (共10页)第二节 （共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。Our fears can change the reality of the situation at times, and our worries and anxieties can defeat us. In addition, our worries can change our understanding of what is reality and what is not. Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during your anxious moments. 36 A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse. 37 When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.Be smart in how you deal with your fears and anxieties. Do not try to deal with everything all at once. When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious, break the task into a series of smaller steps. 38 .Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything. Most of what we worry about never comes true. 39 Everything else you can leave in the hands of God.It is not easy to deal with all of our fears and worries. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, try to calm down and then get the facts of the situation. The key is to take it slow. All you can do is do your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it easy. 40 .ATake it one step at a time and things will work out.BWhen feeling anxious, stop what you are doing and try to do something relaxing.CThis will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety.DInstead of worrying about something that probably wont happen, concentrate on w
