2020 届浙江省湄池中学高三下英语练习试题一
一、阅读理解:
第一节 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。
One of the basic ways we get happy is by meeting our goals, as opposed to the setbacks and anger we
feel when we do not. Setting goals and meeting them might seem an easy way to happiness. The problem is that
goals which are too easy are not that rewarding. Our brains want us to improve and grow and make us happy
only when we deserve it.
Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi uses the term “flow” for the state we get into when we are buried
in something enjoyable, where time seems to fly by. He also describes a person with “autotelic personality” as
someone who sets themselves challenging but achievable goals.
An important part of finding flow is letting go of the self. When you are absorbed in doing something, you
lose track of your sense of identity. This can be particularly scary for those who are very selffocused and
abnormally, the selfish often have difficulty finding happiness.
There is also a curious “workplay” paradox(矛盾),where people at work are dreaming of holidays, yet
sitting on the beach is quickly boring. Asked about when they were happiest,many people will describe times at
work when they achieved significant goals.
Another critical reason for seeking challenge is to keep the brain active and learning. After the age of about
25, the brain literally becomes increasingly set in its ways, so learning and thinking about new things becomes
harder. This is why the personality of many people remains unchanged during adulthood. Unless they keep
taking on challenges, which takes a lot of practice, repetition and persistence to fit in the new thinking.
Changes in the way of thinking need challenge, especially energetic challenge. This is easier if your body is
in good shape and fed well. It takes good nutrients, exercise and rest to help develop new ones.
1.What kind of goals should be set if you want to get happy?
A.Goals that can improve your brains. B.Goals that can be met when you feel happy.
C.Goals that don't need much effort to reach. D.Goals that are kind of difficult but achievable.
2. What will you do in a flow state according to this text?
A.Forget yourself and focused. B.Focus more on yourself.
C.Forget what you are doing. D.Feel challenged and scary.
3. Why does it become harder for an adult over 25 to learn new things?
A.His brain becomes more active. B.He loses courage to take challenge.
C.His brain becomes set in its own way. D.He becomes slow in learning new things.
4. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “ones” in the last paragraph?
A.Healthier bodies. B.Ways of thinking.
C.Challenges one faces. D.Nutrients the body needs.
第二节 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。An obvious reason for learning a new language is to be able to communicate with the people who speak it.
__1__ People in every country prefer it when tourists make an effort to speak the local language, even if all
you can say in it is “hello” and “please”.
Cultural understanding
Speaking a new language helps you to get to know another people and culture, as language and culture go
hand in hand. __2__It shows new ways of looking at the world. In addition, when you speak another language,
you can enjoy literature, film,and music in the original language. It is extremely difficult for a translation to be a
perfect replica (复制品) of the original. __3__
Business and careers
__4__ Schools and employers tend to prefer candidates who speak one or more foreign languages. Even
though English is widely spoken in much of the world, the fact is that the global economy depends on
communication. When dealing with France, for example, someone who speaks French will have an obvious
advantage over someone who doesn't.
Language improvement
Learning another language can help you to understand your own. Many languages have contributed to the
development of English. __5__ Also, in learning how another language differs from your own, you will
increase your understanding of your own language. For many people, language is innate(与生俱来的)—we
know how to say something, but we don't necessarily know why we say it that way. Learning another language
can change that.
A.Language is helpful in making foreign friends.
B.The best way is to read what the author actually wrote.
C.Learning another language opens one's mind to new ideas.
D.Your trip will be comfortable if you speak the local language.
E.Speaking more than one language will increase your market ability.
F.It is true that mastering another foreign language is very beneficial.
G.Learning those languages will teach you where words and even grammatical structures are from.

【范文】
Dear Alice,
From your letter, I know that you won first place in the speech contest of your school. Congratulations! I
strongly believe that you have the ability and undoubtedly, your hard work and determination contribute to your
success.
It is several months since I entered Senior Three. During these days, anxiety and happiness accompany me.
Sometimes when I meet with some difficulties, I feel depressed. But I feel content more often because study
occupies most of my time, for I know success lies in hard work. Only by making every effort will I realize my
dream of entering Peking University.
Welcome to China if it is convenient for you! I promise that I will show you around Beijing and you can
taste delicious dishes. I know you must like it.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
