When people think about British music, for the most part they think about the 60s or 70s with the
likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones or more modern artists like Adele or Ed Sheeran. However,
stuck between these two ages was, in my opinion, British music’s best period. The 90s were an optimistic
time for Britain and indeed Europe, with the economy recovering from the lows of the 80s and the Cold
War ending.高三英语试题 第 3 页（共 10 页）
One of the defining features of 90s music was the birth of “Britpop”. This was a style of pop music
that aimed to promote “Britishness” and commonly featured electric guitars, drums and male singers.
Britpop was the style used by world-famous bands such as Oasis, Blur, Pulp and Suede who became
known as “The Big Four”. The summer of 1995 was dominated by the “Battle of Britpop” which was
between Blur and Oasis for the number one spot. Eventually, Blur won the battle and Oasis settled for
second.
However, the 90s weren’t only for the boys, with major female groups also finding fame, the most
well-known of which were “the Spice Girls” who were extremely popular in Britain and around the world.
Once again they promoted “Britishness” and had catchy melodies and lyrics, but they also started the
“Girl Power” movement which helped empower girls and women worldwide. It isn’t too far to assume
that without their music, many female singers and artists who we love today would not have had the
confidence to pursue their dream.
British music may have had many great times, however the 90s are often overlooked. Although I was
not alive to enjoy the music properly, the 90s had a huge impact on British culture that can be felt today
and I feel that the decade should get the recognition it deserves!
4. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. The Cold War came to an end in the 80s.
B. Britain’s economy began to pick up in the 90s.
C. The Beatles represented the best British music.
D. Adele is better than Ed Sheeran in modern music.
5. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Britpop. B. Britishness. C. The Big Four. D. Battle of Britpop.
6. What’s the most important influence of “the Spice Girls” according to the text?
A. Promoting “Britishness”. B. Empowering girls and women.
C. Creating catchy melodies. D. Finding fame for female groups.
7. The writer thinks the impact of the 90s music on British culture is ________.
A. underestimated B. well-recognized
C. fairly evaluated D. reasonably doubted高三英语试题 第 4 页（共 10 页）

America’s first transcontinental railroad, completed 150 years ago today at Promontory Summit in
Utah, connected the vast United States and brought America into the modern age. Chinese immigrants
contributed greatly to this notable achievement, but the historical accounts that followed often ignored
their role.
Between 1863 and 1869, as many as 20,000 Chinese workers helped build the dangerous western
part of the railroad, a winding ribbon of track known as the Central Pacific. At first, the Central Pacific
Railroad’s directors wanted a whites-only workforce. When not enough white men signed up, the railroad
began hiring Chinese men for the backbreaking labor. Company leaders were skeptical of the new
recruits’ ability to do the work, but they proved themselves not only capable but even superior to the
other workers.
Chinese workers cut through dense forests, filled deep narrow steep-sided valley, constructed long
trestles( 高 架 桥 ) and built enormous retaining walls( 防 护 墙 ) -- some of which remain complete and
undamaged today. All work was done by hand using carts, shovels and picks but no machinery. However,
progress came at great cost: an estimated 1,200 Chinese laborers died along the Central Pacific route.
Despite these facts, Chinese workers were often left out of the official story because of their identity
of foreigners. On the transcontinental railroad's 100th birthday, the Chinese workers were still not
honored. It was another fifty years later that their role was gradually highlighted. To celebrate the
railroad’s 150th anniversary in 2019, the California assembly passed a resolution in 2017 to recognize and
honor the Chinese railroad workers by designating May 10, 2017, and every May 10 thereafter, as
California Chinese Railroad Workers Memorial Day.
8. What might be the best title for the text?
A. The Birth of the Central Pacific Cost Dearly
B. May 10--A Special Day for Chinese Immigrants
C. Chinese Workers’ Contributions Gained Recognition
D. The 150th anniversary of the Central Pacific Railroad
9. What does “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Chinese laborers. B. White workers. C. Company leaders. D. Railroad directors.
10. Why does the author make such detailed descriptions in Paragraph 3? 高三英语试题 第 5 页（共 10 页）
A. To prove Chinese workers’ superior skills.
B. To stress the danger and difficulty of the work.
C. To describe the grand scenery along the railroad.
D. To show notable achievements made by Chinese workers.
11. What does the text intend to tell us?
A. None so blind as those who won’t see. B. No pains, no gains.
C. Truth will come to light sooner or later. D. Doing is better than saying.

Recently, researchers at the University of Toronto figured out a way with a quick video selfie to
accurately measure blood pressure with your smartphone’s camera by developing a technology known as
transdermal optical imaging (TOI)(透皮光学成像).
Cameras on smartphones can catch red light reflected from hemoglobin (血红素）under our skin,
which permits TOI to visualize and measure blood flow changes. Researchers measured the blood
pressure of 1,328 Canadian and Chinese adults by getting two-minute videos of their faces on an iPhone.
“From the video got by the technology, you can see how the blood flows in different parts of the face and
through this flow, you can get a lot of information,” said Kang Lee, lead author of the study.
Lee also helped create an app called Anura, which allows people to try out the TOI software for
themselves, giving them the ability to record a 30-second video of their face and receive measurements
for stress levels and resting heart rate. Lee said more research was needed to make sure that the
measurements were as accurate as possible, explaining that the study didn’t test people with very dark or
very fair skin.
“In order to improve our app to make it usable, particularly for people with hypertension (高血压)，
we need to collect a lot of data from them, which is very hard because a lot of them are already taking
medicine,” Lee explained. “We cannot tell them not to take medicine, but from time to time, we get
participants who don’t take medicine so we can get hypertensive people this way.”
The scientists said there were many potential applications of the technology, including providing
health services for those who lived in remote areas.高三英语试题 第 6 页（共 10 页）
12. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2？
A. Information offered by TOI. B. New findings on hypertension.
C. How TOI is put into smart phones. D. How the TOI technology works.
13. What might people benefit from the new technology mentioned above?
A. Living a life free from stress. B. Improving the heart function gradually.
C. Accessing health services for free. D. Knowing abnormal blood pressure earlier.
14. What can be done for a better Anura?
A. Equipping phones with better cameras.
B. Allowing phones to record longer videos.
C. Collecting data from more diverse samples.
D. Persuading participants not to take medicine.
15. Why does the author write this text?
A. To predict future applications of TOI.
B. To introduce TOI and an app related.
C. To describe functions of cameras on phones.
D. To evaluate the quality of an app called Anura.

No-friend eating trend
When you eat lunch in a restaurant, you might see many people eating by themselves, watching
videos on their phones. 16 Do you worry they’re lonely?
You probably didn’t even notice because you were looking at your own phone. The New York Post
says that eating alone with electronic devices is a growing trend among young people around the world.
According to a new survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of the US-based Highbush Blueberry
Council, the average adult eats six meals alone each week and 387 meals each year.
17 Maybe not.
“The way we define ‘togetherness’ and what it means to be connected seems to be evolving as
technology evolves. Keeping our relationships strong doesn’t always require being together physically,”
wrote the report.高三英语试题 第 7 页（共 10 页）
Nowadays, many young people spend more time studying and working in competitive environments.
18 Instead, it’s natural to communicate with others through text, email and social media.
Daniela Galarza, from the US, is one of these young people. She told the New York Post that she
spent nearly 10 hours on her work every day. She said, “Engaging with my friends and families on social
media platforms for about half an hour every day always helps me feel more connected with them.
19 ”
“Today, ‘togetherness’ is more of a feeling than a physical state, and people get creative to stay
connected,” a spokesperson for The Highbush Blueberry Council told the New York Post. “ 20 ”
A. I’m not lonely any more.
B. Do you feel pity for them?
C. Being together all the time is great.
D. Does it mean there are a lot of lonely people?
E. They enjoy eating alone with electronic devices.
F. They have less time to gather and eat with their friends or families.
G. The joy of being together – however you manage it – never changes.

We’ve all been there before: You’re driving down the road when suddenly a pothole(凹坑) seems to
appear out of nowhere and sends the 21 jumping. Most people think potholes are
22 , but artist Jim Bachor sees them as a canvas(画布) for his
artwork.
Bachor uses the 23 art form of mosaic(马赛克) to create
eye-catching, colorful images of famous artists like Aretha Franklin or
simple everyday 24 like food. He even makes less-appealing
visuals of insects.
Bachor was a graphic designer for 20 years before he began his
25 in mosaic. He regards an incidental trip to Europe as his motivation to change careers. While
26 in Italy, Bachor fell in love with Pompeii, the preserved ancient Roman city. A tour guide pointed 高三英语试题 第 8 页（共 10 页）
out a mosaic, made of mainly glass and marble, and told Bachor, “Glass and marble don’t 27 . So, this
looks essentially the way the artist intended.” Bachor says, “That kind of staying power just 28 me
so much.”
A year later Bachor returned to attend a mosaic class in Ravenna, Italy, to learn the proper way to
29 the ancient technique. Years after that, he mastered the technique. He 30 that mosaics can
be just as significant today as the art form over 1,000 years ago. “I just saw that there was a(n) 31
to bring it into the new age as a contemporary subject,” he says.
So, Bachor decided to make a special piece of 32 for that pothole. He has
33 mosaic pothole art around Chicago, Detroit, New York City and even in Finland.
While he may not be getting 34 from drivers or passengers, Bachor’s art is 35 a pleasant
surprise to discover.

Leather is a hugely popular material for a range of products, but this 36 (popular) comes at a 高三英语试题 第 9 页（共 10 页）
price. The global leather industry kills over a billion animals every year. This 37
(cause) many to ask the question: is it possible to meet the global demand of leather without 38
(do) any harm to animals? A process called biofabrication(生物制作) may be the answer.
Biofabrication is not new; it is already commonly used in medicine. Scientists have applied the
technique to grow body parts like ear, skin, and bones for transplants(移植). But it can also
39 (use) to make other products, such as leather. Scientists will be able to make biofabricated
leather with whatever qualities they want, such as extra softness, greater strength, or even different
colors and patterns.
But how 40 (exact) does biofabrication work? 41 (grow) leather, scientists begin by
taking some cells from an animal, not hurting 42 animal in any way. They then set the cells apart
and grow them in a lab. This process takes millions of cells and expands them into billions. Next, the
scientists take the cells and spread them out to form thin sheets, 43 are then put together to
combine into a little 44 (thick) sheets. Anyone can then dye and finish the leather and design it in
any way they like.
Andras Forgacs supports biofabrication. He says it may even be a “natural evolution of
manufacturing for mankind.” We will be able to make the products we need in an efficient, responsible,
45 creative way.

'Usual boring day!' This would be the answer from Roman if somebody asked him how his day was.
These days he found everything boring, nothing excited him.高三英语试题 第 10 页（共 10 页）
One day he was lying in his room as usual. Suddenly light went off. His room was rather hot without
an air conditioner. Though he did not want to leave his room, he had to. Unwillingly, he left his room and
came to living room. Living room was slightly cool as it had two huge windows.
His young brother was playing with his friend. They were rolling on the floor. He was looking out for
the TV remote, but couldn't find. He got up and searched it everywhere, but remote was nowhere. He
looked at his brother who was still lying on the floor playing.
He asked him, "Where is the remote?"
"Under the Sofa," his brother yelled.
He tried to look through, but it was dark. He put his hand under the sofa. He touched something,
grabbed it and took his hand out. OMG! It was a snake in his hand!
After seeing that his brother started to yell, “ Snake, snake!” Mom came as soon as she heard their
shouting. She too was horrified to see a snake. She was so scared that she even couldn’t speak a word.
Two kids were trying to hide into each other's back. “What an old trick!” Roman thought and threw it over
kids.
As the snake landed on the floor near to the kids, it started moving from left side to the right. Only
then did Roman realize that the snake was real, not a toy. He threw the snake over kids because he
thought it was a fake snake and kids were playing some tricks.
This time mom almost got heart attack. Now he was scared too. The snake was only 10 meters away
from kids and was staring at kids. They even couldn’t call a rescue team. There might be some deadly
damage before their arrival. There was not much time to think. It was the time for a quick action.
Paragraph 1：
As Roman was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain.
Paragraph 2：高三英语试题 第 11 页（共 10 页）
After the rescue team caught and took the snake away, everyone went inside the home.高三英语试题 第 12 页（共 10 页）

Dear Jean,
Glad to know that you are interested in what Chinese teenagers like to do online, I am writing to tell
you more about it.
As smart phones have been widely used, many teenagers prefer surfing online with their phones.
Shopping online and chatting with friends via Wechat or QQ are becoming increasingly popular. As for me,
I like an Alipay app called the Ant Forest, which encourages users to adopt low-carbon activities. I have a
great sense of achievement when I turn the energy from low-carbon life into real trees through it. Are you
using this app?
What about your favorite application? Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours
Lihua
Dear Jean,
Nice to hear from you! I quite agree with you. The Internet does make our life more colorful, where
most of us teenagers chat with friends, play games or watch various videos.
As to me, I prefer reading e-books with some reading apps such as WeChat reading because it’s so
convenient to read books online. With a mobile phone at hand, I can do my reading everywhere instead
of carrying paper books. Besides, I can even listen to them as those apps are often equipped with audio
software. Isn’t it fantastic?
Well, what do you usually do on the Internet?
Yours ,
Li Hua

一、必要情节：
第一段：1.使用窗帘救急；2.通知救援队；
第二段：Roman 的反省与愧疚心理。能与篇首心情呼应更佳。高三英语试题 第 13 页（共 10 页）
二、语言流畅，符合情景需求。第一段应写出紧张危险气氛与迅速敏捷的施救动作；第二段应
写出愧疚之情。
Possible version 1:
As Roman was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain. He pulled
it so hard that curtain ended up landing in his hand. Then without waiting a second, he threw the curtain
over the snake. When the snake came under the curtain, he grabbed two kids by their hands and brought
them out of the room. He again went inside and took his mother to the front yard. Mom was shaking like
a leaf and kids were sweating hard. Later, he called the rescue team from his cell phone.
After the rescue team caught and took the snake away, everyone went inside the home. Roman
went back to his room and tried to sleep, but couldn't, so he went upstairs to living room where he found
his brother was watching cartoon. He sat next to his brother and his cell phone beeped. It was another
text from his friend asking how his day was. Roman slowly typed: "Jaw-breaking day". Then he kept his
mobile aside and dragged his brother's head to his chest and started to play with his hair gently. Then he
whispered something in his ear which sounds something like "Sorry".
Possible version 2:
As Roman was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain. He pulled it
so hard that curtain was torn off immediately. Without hesitation, he threw the curtain at the moving
snake and covered it. Then he grabbed two extremely-frightened kids by their arms and pushed them out
of room. The moment the kids went out, they started screaming. Roman went inside the room again and
brought his mom out, who was standing still, frozen with fear. Later, he called the rescue team.
After the rescue team caught and took the snake away, everyone went inside the home. Everything
returned to normal except that the two kids were still scared. Roman felt guilty and even angry with
himself. How could he have thrown the snake to two kids. But for the quick action, it would have hurt
them! He went up to the kids, patting them on the head, and said carefully, “I’m so sorry. I mistook it for a
fake one. Well….” After a short pause, he said in an excited voice, “Shall we play some game together
now?” The kids burst into a smile. “What a thrilling day!” Roman texted his friend later that day.
