第二部分：阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分）
第一节（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。
A
The hottest cities in the world
The locations below are the hottest and also travel destinations on the planet.
Bangkok
According to the data, Bangkok is the hottest city on the planet — not because of any particularly impressive high temperatures, but because it is consistently hot all the year round. The city has an average annual temperature of 29℃, coupled with high dampness and an average of 128 rainy days per year; while the highest temperature on record is 40℃.
Timbuktu, Mali
Located on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, the African city of Timbuktu is similar to everything remote. It’s also one of the hottest cities in the world, with a hot, dry climate offering record highs of 49℃. Throughout April, May and June, average maximum temperatures are beyond 40℃. Modern-day Timbuktu is slowly being swallowed by the desert and is certainly a shadow of the trade center that it once was.
Ahvaz, Iran
Built on the bank of the Karun River, Ahvaz is an industrial city with average highs of around 46℃ during July, its warmest month. The city’s record high is 54℃, making it one of the world’s hottest cities during the summer. Frequent sand and dust storms and an absence of rain from July to September mix with its sky-high temperatures.
Kuwait City
The wealthy capital of Kuwait is another competitor for the title of the world’s hottest summertime city with average highs of over 45℃ from June to August. Nightfall brings little respite(缓解), with after-dark low temperatures often over 30℃ during the summer months. Kuwait City’s record high is 52℃, while it rains on an average of just 19 days per year.
21. What is the Bangkok famous for in climate?
A. The highest temperature.
B. The hot weather all year round.
C. The highest annual temperature.
D. The lack of rainfall all year round.
高三英语试题 第 18 页（共12页）
21. Why is Timbuktu no longer a trade center?
A. The small population of Mali.
B. The war lasting for many years.
C. The influence of the Sahara.
D. Its location of the center of a desert.
23. Which city holds the record of the highest temperature?
A. Ahvaz. B. Bangkok. C. Timbuktu. D. Kuwait City.
B
The other day I was shopping at the local Chinese grocery store. There was a line at the fish counter, but only one staff person was there to take care of the customers. Some customers ordered quite an amount of fish for that staff person to work on. At last I was the second in line: all I wanted was a couple of crabs and should get out of there in no time.
Noticing it was very busy at the fish counter, another staff person came over to help. I was ready to be served, but the staff person went to the end of the line and began to help a couple of ladies with snail (蜗牛). The customers in front of me, being served, turned around and looked at me sympathetically and the customer behind me called to the staff person, “You should start here,” pointing at me. He was, well, ignored.
If someone asked me, “What is the most important rule to follow in America?” I would reply without hesitation. “Wait your turn at all times.” Wherever you go here in this country, you will find people waiting in a line quietly to get anything: whether in the supermarkets, department stores, bus stops, or gas stations, it’s just a matter of waiting your turn. In a larger sense, “wait your turn” is more than just a guideline — it is a very basic rule that reflects the fundamental value of the western cultures. But in some situations your turn does not always come based on when you get there and how long you have waited in line, just like my case at the store. Even though this did not often happen, it did make me feel upset.
24. What happened to the author at the store?
A. He wasn’t served upon his order.
B. He was ill-treated by a customer.
C. He was asked to be served later.
D. He was asked to do others a favor.
高三英语试题 第 18 页（共12页）
23. What is the author’s opinion about Queuing Rule?
A. Wait until being served. B. Serve people as one likes.
C. First come, later served. D. Wait until your turn comes.
24. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. His belief. B. His culture. C. His experience. D. His rule.
25. Why did the author write the text?
A. To emphasize his kindness to others.
B. To express his belief and his feelings.
C. To show his disbelief in Queuing Rule.
D. To introduce some western culture to us.
C
One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?
Listen — Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.
Help them — If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.
Be there for them — Be there for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control, but if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!
Make plans — Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!

Even plant can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared(红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely(精确的) target pesticide(杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which always includes plants that don’t have pest problems.
Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Fixed on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat sent out by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”.
高三英语试题 第 18 页（共12页）
Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term supporters were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce and refinements(改进) in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,” says George Oerther of Texas A& M, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
32. Plants will give out an increased amount of heat when they are _____.
A. facing an infrared scanner
B. sprayed with pesticides
C. exposed to extreme sun rays
D. in poor physical condition
33. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to _____.
A. draw a color-coded map
B. evaluate the damage to the crops
C. locate the problem area
D. measure the size of the affected area
34. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some
difficulties of _____.
A. the lack of official support
B. its high cost
C. the lack of financial support
D. its failure to help increase production
35. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of _____.
A. full support from agricultural experts
B. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
C. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
D. growing concern about the over use of pesticides on crops

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。
How to stay focused in class
Being relaxed during class is a bad habit, and it is also bad to your grade. Focusing in class not only proves to teachers that you are a capable student but also shows that you have the ability to control yourself, which will be very important.
36 No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class, try your best to avoid them. Talking with friends around you is not going to give you the focus in class. This will get you into trouble.
Look at teacher and make eye contact. Your teacher is not just standing up there talking. 37 Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention by looking them in the eye. This person should have your full attention at all times during class.
Take notes. By taking notes, you’ll be able to “get into” the lesson. Write down key points as your teacher speaks. And listen to the key phrases such as “This is important” “This is the main idea” “This will be the test” etc. 38 在
Get involved in class discussions. This is a wonderful way to become a more focused, successful student. When a teacher asks a question, offer to answer it. 39 This shows the teacher that you are listening carefully during the class.
Ask a question. 40 This really shows your teacher that you want to be better, and can recognize the things you are having difficulty with. Chances are that someone else in the class has the same question (and was too afraid to ask!). They’ll be relieved, and so will you.
A. Avoid sitting with friends.
B. This can help you listen more attentively.
C. If he or she ask for an opinion, share your own.
D. Talking with friends makes you lose interest in class.
E. He or she is trying to give you an acceptable education.
F. The more quickly you answer, the more attention you pay.
G. If you don’t understand something, never be afraid to ask.

Should naps(小睡) actually 61 (take) during the day? Well, we certainly know from 62 (evident) in the sleep center and that of many other scientists that naps can give you benefits for both your brain 63 your body. But naps can actually be 64 double-edged sword because while we’re awake during the day, we’re building up sleepiness or sleep pressure. So when you try to fall asleep at night, you’ll fall asleep quickly and then you’ll stay asleep. And when we sleep, we actually release that sleepiness so that we wake up the next morning feeling 65 (refresh).
So if you take a nap during the day, especially if you take it too late in the afternoon, you will actually release some of that sleepiness and it will make it much 66 (hard) to fall asleep and stay asleep soundly throughout the night. So the advice would
高三英语试题 第 18 页（共12页）
be if you don’t struggle with your sleep and you can nap 67 (regular), then naps are just fine.
But if you do find it difficult 68 (fall) asleep or stay asleep at night, then you should avoid naps and try to build up that healthy sleepiness in the evening.
The ideal nap depends on 69 you want from that nap. Different stages of sleep actually give you different types of brain and body 70 (benefit).

Dear Jerry,
I’m glad to hear from you last week. Since you are interested in the current situation of the countryside in China, I’m writing to introduce it to you.
In recent years, our government attaches much greater importance to the development of the countryside, making it quite different from the past. Not only are many high buildings and broad highways built, but education has been given more attention and support. All of these changes have added to the convenience and happiness of the people in the countryside. Therefore, I sincerely invite you to come for a visit.
Looking forward to your early reply.

W: This slide is so big! It looks dangerous.
M: It probably is. It’s called a stone slide. I bet it hurts a lot if you fall off your box.
W: What box?
M: You have to sit on something when you slide, or else you’ll tear your pants and hurt your legs. Most people sit on a big, folded-up paper box. See? There’s a pile of them next to the slide. Hey, Sandy, I dare you to try it!
W: Dave, do I look like I’m scared?
M: Your face is a little white.
W: Well, I’m not afraid. But you go first.
M: Ha! I knew it. All right, see you at the bottom!

W: Did you know the Apple smartwatch can save your life?
M: No, how is that?
W: The alarm on one woman’s watch went off when her heart started beating much faster. She didn’t even know it was happening. She went to the doctor to be sure that nothing was wrong. But they tested her and found out she was starting to have a heart attack!
M: That’s amazing. If it had happened to me, I would have thought it was from walking fast or running.
W: She wasn’t doing anything active.
M: If the watch can find certain problems, it will probably become more popular, especially with elderly people.
W: The younger generation is into healthy living. They will probably be good customers, too.
M: Hmm… I wonder if other companies like Samsung and Huawei will get in on this part of the market. They must be waiting to see what happens with Apple watch sales.
W: Actually, my friends have smartwatches from those companies already. I like my Fitbit watch, personally. The battery lasts a very long time.

is still the most famous. Stories about it have been around since 1933. But there’s another creature that interests me more. It’s the Kanas Lake Monster, right here in China.
M: You mean Kanas Lake in Xinjiang?
W: Yes. In 1985, the university studied the lake and said there are creatures living in it that are as long as 15 meters. It’s a very old lake, you know.
M: Do you really think there are monsters in that lake? It’s not even one of the biggest lakes in China. How would they survive in there?
W: I don’t know. But it’s thrilling to think there might be very large animals alive in the world that we’ve never seen!
M: Well, Dad studied biology in England in the 1970’s. He must have heard a lot about Nessie. Go ask him if he thinks it’s possible that these creatures exist.

M: Hello students. It’s great to be here today. I’m excited to tell you about my life experiences and the lessons I’ve learned. The most important lesson I learned in my life is the importance of hard work. We all have dreams, and to achieve them we must work hard. I’m now the owner of my own business. But I started with nothing. I came to the United States with my mother when I was ten years old. She wanted me to have a better life than we did in our country. She worked very hard to clean houses so I could have food and clothes. More than anything she wanted me to go to school and be successful. She taught me that everyone can do these things through effort and determination. So I entered middle school in the U.S. and worked as hard as I could on my studies. I asked the teacher for extra help after class and learned English from my new friends. When I finished high school, my hard work paid off. I got a scholarship to university where I also determined to learn all I could. After college, one of my business professors helped me get a loan to open my own business. It was a struggle, but five years later I own a growing business at the age of thirty! My mother is so proud. Remember, anything that’s worth having is something you have to work for.
