2020学年度上学期省六校协作体高三期中考试英语试题第一节阅读理解，共15小题，每题2分，共计30分。AAfter a few moments, my passenger started a conversation. It began ordinarily enough: “How do you like driving a cab?”“Its OK,” I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes. How about you? His reply intrigued me.“I would not change jobs even if I could make twice as much money doing something else.”Id never heard that before. “What do you do?“Im in the neurology department at New York Hospital.”Then I decided to ask for this mans help. We were not far from the airport.“Could I ask a big favor of you? I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a job, but a 15-year-old cant get hired unless his old man knows someone who owns a business, and I dont.” I paused. “Is there any possibility that you could get him some kind of summer job?”He didnt respond for a while. Finally, he said: “Well, the medical students have a summer research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school record.”I tore off a pieceof my brown lunch bag, and he scribbled his name on it and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.After I nagged, yelled, and finally threatened to cut off his pocket money, my son Robbie sent off his grades to the guy the next morning.Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, my son was beaming. He handed me a letter from my passenger, saying he was to call my passengers secretary for an interview.Robbie got the job. He did minor tasks, unpaid, but he fit in well. The following summer, he worked at the hospital again with more responsibility. As high school graduation neared, Dr Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for Robbie and he was accepted by Brown University. Finally, Dr Robert Stern, the son of a taxicab driver, became OB-GYN chief president at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.Some might call it fate, and I guess it was. But it shows that something as ordinary as a taxi ride can change your life.1.

One virus threatens babies in many parts of the world. Another has reappeared in an African nation. And a third is one of the deadliest viruses of modern times. The three viruses are Zika, polio and HIV. However, in 2020 scientists and researchers from all over the world worked to make progress against those viruses and to develop better ways to control them.The spread of the Zika virus caused public health officials in many nations to put in place strong measures to control its spread.Brazil, which hosted the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, was hit hard by the virus. Health officials warned pregnant women against traveling to the sporting event. Zika is usually a mild illness. It is so mild that most people who are infected do not know they have it. However, in the past two years in the Western Hemisphere, Zika has been linked to babies being born with extremely small heads. This condition is called microcephaly. The international medical community found that this link to birth defects makes Zika a very dangerous virus.Zika first appeared in Uganda more than 60 years ago. It is spread by mosquitos and by sex. The virus recently appeared in Brazil. Then cases appeared in other countries to the North. Cases were reported in the United States in the southern state of Florida. Health officials in Texas are also concerned the virus might be spreading there.Doctors can only advise women to be careful.

Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, “more than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings. This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter.”Smell, which dictates(决定) the unbelievable complexity of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1,000 genes (基因), which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome. Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2020 for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1,000 olfactory (嗅觉) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites.In contrast, the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers impatience. Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.However, the way genes regulate smell differs from person to person. A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory genes which are switched on in some people and not in others. They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.12. What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out?A. The type of food smells.B. The logical part of human brain.C. The relationship between food and feelings.D. The nature of human olfactory system13. Which of the following can help people concentrate?A. Coffee. B. Pizza.C. Bread. D. Fast food.14. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Some people can recognize up to 50 smells.B. Different people are sensitive to different smells.C. Every person has a different pattern of genes.D. There are still some olfactory genes to be found out.15. What is the passage mainly about?A. Logic and behavior.B. Smell and its influence.C. Sense ability and food tastes.D. Olfactory genes and its system.【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类嗅觉的巨大能量及其对我们的影响。【12题详解】细节理解题。答案定位在第三段These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1,000 olfactory (嗅觉) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.可知Richard Axel 和 Linda Buck揭示了人类嗅觉系统的本质，故选D。【13题详解】细节理解题。答案定位在第五段Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.可知喝咖啡有助于提高思考和注意力，故选A。【14题详解】推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.可知不同的人对不同的气味敏感，故选B。【15题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了人类嗅觉的巨大能量及其对我们的影响，故选B。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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。As a senior year student, you may have so many pressures coming from so many directions that you cant figure out what to do first._16_When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of whats important.
