If such territorial ( 地 方 性 的 ) agreements become more common, the globally- connected Internet we know will more like what some have called the “splinternet”, or a collection of different Internets whose limits are determined by national or regional borders. Cyberpunk —Do you think we are already in a cyberpunk age? —I think we are. Just look around us, we are enjoying the fruit of high technology when we order almost everything at our fingertips. But the people delivering the products can’t even have a decent meal. That’s a typical “high tech, low life” contrast. Mansplaining —You must follow my instructions to complete the project. Don’t you ever screw up. —Stop mansplaining, OK? I’m far more experienced than you. Digital natives If you are wondering why “Phone” app icon is designed like that and looks almost the same on every smartphone, you are definitely one of the digital natives who don’t know what a telephone is. Social bankruptcy Have you ever found it extremely exhausting trying to maintain a balanced relationship with all your social media friends and followers? Perhaps it’s time that you go social bankruptcy. Just close all your accounts and go out and enjoy the sunshine. 21．The social media platform Facebook briefly decided to prevent Australian users from sharing new links. Which word is most relevant to this affair? A．Splinternet B．Mansplaining C．Digital natives D．Social bankruptcy 22．Mencius (孟子) once said: “Disgust for someone by others does focus on his/her pretending to be others’ master.” Which word means the same thing? A．Splinternet B．Cyberpunk C．Mansplaining D．Digital natives 23．Which column in Teen Space Magazine is the text probably from? A．Preface B．Outlook C．Story D．Witticism B The vaccine ( 疫 苗 ) news continues to seem very encouraging. Britain started its mass vaccination effort and the U.S. isn’t far behind. But there is still one dark cloud hanging over the vaccines that many people don’t yet understand. The vaccines will be much less effective at preventing death and illness in 2021 if they are 英语试题 第 4 页（共 14 页） introduced into a population where the coronavirus is still severe—as is now the case in the U.S. A vaccine is like a fire hose (消防龙头). A vaccine that’s 95 percent effective, as Moderna’s and Pfizer’s versions appear to be, is a powerful fire hose. But the size of a fire is still a bigger determinant of how much destruction occurs. At the current level of infection in the U.S. (about 200,000 confirmed new infections per day), a vaccine that is 95 percent effective—distributed at the expected pace—would still leave a terrible toll (伤亡人数) in the six months after it was introduced. Almost 10 million or so Americans would catch the virus, and more than 160,000 would die. This is far worse than the toll in a different situation where the vaccine was only 50 percent effective but the U.S. had reduced the infection rate to its level in early September (about 35,000 new daily cases). In that case, the death toll in the next six months would be kept to about 60,000. It’s worth pausing for a moment on this comparison. If the U.S. had maintained its infection rate from September and Moderna and Pfizer had announced this fall that their vaccines were only 50 percent effective, a lot of people would have panicked. But the reality we have is actually worse. How could this be? No vaccine can get rid of a pandemic immediately, just as no fire hose can put out a forest fire. While the vaccine is being distributed, the virus continues to do damage. There is one positive way to look at this: Measures that reduce the virus’s spread — like mask-wearing, social distancing and rapid-result testing—can still have great consequences. They can save more than 100,000 lives in coming months. 24．How does the author mainly present his argument? A．By giving definitions. B．By categorizing facts. C．By drawing comparisons. D．By appealing to emotions. 25．Which does the author think is a better way to save lives? A．Improving the effectiveness of the vaccines. B．Producing a greater variety of vaccines. C．Looking at the situation in a positive way. D．Wearing masks and practicing social distancing. 26．What does paragraph 6 tell us? A．The vaccines are less effective than expected. B．The US have controlled the spread of the coronavirus. C．The death toll in the next six months will be about 60,000. D．Fewer people will die if the infection rate is lower. 27．What can we infer from the text? A．The vaccine is the hope of wiping out the pandemic. B．The public are optimistic about the effects of the vaccine. C．The public are concerned about the high infection rate. D．The distribution of vaccine will end the pandemic quickly. 英语试题 第 5 页（共 14 页） C Every year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport”. Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take par realize the cruelty and destruction. The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and gun-carrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins (血管). They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate (刺激) a desire to own a gun. Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wild-land habitat. Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesn’t seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved. Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people. Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of mortality can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human character, then perhaps we should encourage war. 28．According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because ________. A．they have little knowledge of it B．it helps to build human character C．it is too costly to stop killing wildlife D．they want to keep wildlife under control 29．The underlined word “agony” in the last paragraph probably means ________. A．difficulty B．tress C．pain D．sadness 30．According to the text, the films children watch at school actually ________. A．teach them how to deal with guns safely B．praise hunting as character building C．describe hunting as a physical exercise D．encourage them to have guns of their own 31．By saying “perhaps we should encourage war”, the writer intends to tell us that ________. A．Hunting to build human character makes no sense. B．War in the best way to improve human character. C．We are on the edge of war against gunners. D．Protecting wildlife from gunners is extremely difficult. 英语试题 第 6 页（共 14 页） D Last summer my daughter’s school was blown up. No students were harmed, but the main building was completely destroyed, as well as the nearby dorms. Before you start trying to ask when this horrible act took place on U.S. soil, I should mention that this attack didn’t happen in reality, rather in my daughter’s carefully constructed Minecraft world. During an online journey with a few friends, a stranger came to her school and bombed the school she had carefully built. In a minute, her school was ruined. Sure, no actual property was damaged. But the emotional pain she felt was very much real. She thought this was a form of terrorism. I shared this act of absurd online violence on my Facebook page, and fellow parents with Minecraft-loving children were just as shocked as I was. I had thought this was a unique experience, and my daughter was just unlucky that this happened to her. But, as it turned out, she was far from alone. The acts were performed by computer bullies (暴徒) known as “griefers”. The platform that my daughter was playing was the Minecraft: Pocket Edition (PE) version, which is popular with younger players. While she once only played in creative mode ( 模 式 ), she began to play in the multi-player mode so that she and a few friends from school could build and create together. That multi-player choice made it possible for a stranger, one of these “griefers”, to do damage. It was a painful lesson for my daughter that dangers happened suddenly. She understood we have to protect ourselves from bad people in the real world. Still, there was some goodness that came out of the ruins. Many fellow players of hers took the time to help her rebuild her school, which has been set up again. She is moved. Also, this experience opened her eyes. 32．What was the result of the daughter’s school being blown up? A．All the buildings but the dorms were ruined. B．Many students were seriously injured. C．Money needed to be seriously injured. D．The author’s daughter felt hurt a lot. 33．Before talking to other parents about the attack the author had thought that ________. A．her daughter should be blamed for it B．this attack was just a rare incident C．danger happened all of a sudden on the Internet D．her daughter was too lonely 34．Which of the following is NOT true about the “griefers”? A．They can help players build and create a new world. B．They are performed by computer bullies. C．They are likely to cause damage in the multi-player mode. D．They disturb and cause sadness to game players. 35．What did her daughter do after the incident? A．Quit playing Minecraft. B．Learned to defend herself against bad people. C．Gave up multi-player mode. D．Decided to rebuild her school independently. 英语试题 第 7 页（共 14 页） 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 We think of winter as cold and flu season, but the cold temperatures have powerful biological upsides too. Boosts your brain        36         Studies have found that people perform some cognitive (认知的) tasks like making decisions better when the temperature is cooler. Research has also shown that people are less willing to handle complex tasks in the summer than in the winter. Burns calories (卡路里) When it’s cold, your body works harder to keep your core temperature, which is typically, about 98.6 degrees (Fahrenheit scale). “Our bodies use a considerable amount of energy to keep us warm and to dampen the air we breathe when we’re out in the cold.” explains Stacy Tucker, an expert from Kansas City.         37         A recent study showed that participants burned 34 percent more calories when they hiked in 14- to 23-degree temperatures than they did hiking on 50-degree days. Activates healthy fat We know accumulating too much ordinary fat or “white fat” can endanger our health. But adults also have small amounts of beneficial “brown fat” that can quicken their metabolism (新陈代谢) and bum more calories         38        . Encourages better sleep Your body’s core temperature drops when you’re trying to sleep.         39        , but it’s much faster in winter, says Tucker. Plus, with darker mornings, you naturally sleep later.         40         Yes, you might get more colds during the winter. However, studies have shown that the immune system can be activated by colder temperatures, which improves our ability to fight infections, explains Tucker. That said, the flu virus becomes strong in cold, dry air, and time spent indoors increases your chance of infection. To reduce risk, get your annual flu shot, wash your hands frequently, and go outside. A．Fights infections B．So fasten your boots C．Suffers from infections D．Colder temperatures can help you think more clearly E．And cold temperatures can activate this useful fat F．Exercising in the winter makes heart muscles stronger G．This process can take up to two hours in the summer 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 英语试题 第 8 页（共 14 页） My relationship with my pen pal (笔友) is one of the most valuable friendships I have ever had, even though I have never met her in         41        , or even heard her voice. It all started in 2013. I was on my way to USC to meet with Kerstin Zilm, a German radio personality who wanted to interview me about being a         42         student at Long Beach City College. After the interview, a woman named Renate         43         out to Kerstin, inquiring how she could find me and help me financially with college. I thought it was great that Renate, who         44         in Germany, wanted to assist with my education. At first, Renate and I emailed each other twice a         45        . She wanted to know a lot more about my life growing up in Watts, my attempts to         46         my education, and whether there were ways         47         finances that she could help. I did not have a specific answer for her last question, but her         48         support was important. Just having someone rooting for me and my education gave me a boost. Her support kept coming, in         49         forms. She would email me articles, send books, and began a         50         of having a birthday cake delivered to me every December on my birthday. I emailed back more frequently. When I had a good day, I couldn’t wait to tell Renate. And when I had a bad day, I couldn’t wait to tell her         51         because I knew she would make me feel better. “You really have the heart of a fighter,” she would say in her email, “But fortunately you also got soul,         52         and compassion. In this way you are a rich person.” Whenever I needed encouragement, she always         53        . After a couple of years of pen pal friendship, we were emailing at least once a week. I even downloaded WhatsApp so I could talk to her more         54        . My friendship with Renate has become so important to me that I can no longer         55         a life where I was not her friend. She has become a friend forever. 41．A．place B．total C．person D．truth 42．A．struggling B．fresh C．lead D．top 43．A．turned B．laid C．carried D．reached 44．A．locates B．travels C．resides D．gives 45．A．day B．week C．month D．year 46．A．further B．continue C．drop D．deal with 47．A．without B．beyond C．under D．by 48．A．physical B．moral C．academic D．heroic 49．A．collective B．commercial C．fancy D．various 50．A．piece B．symbol C．tradition D．creation 51．A．as well B．instead C．at least D．ever since 52．A．intelligence B．preference C．comprehension D．liberty 53．A．demanded B．delivered C．engaged D．pursued 54．A．reasonably B．normally C．directly D．frequently 55．A．clarify B．recognize C．uncover D．envision 英语试题 第 9 页（共 14 页） 第二节 （共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Guardian view on academic publishing: disastrous capitalism Scientific publishing has long been a licence         56        (print) money.

His sister, Carina, barged (乱闯) in and perched (停留) on the edge of his bed. Collin could tell she’d been crying. “What’s wrong?” Collin asked. “Homesick again?” Carina nodded. “Yeah, me too.” Collin sighed. Their family had move to the Moon Colony (殖民地) 4 nearly four months ago. It still didn’t feel like home. The dwellings (公寓) were cozy, but outside everything was gray, rocky and lifeless. “I miss my friends,” Carina said gloomily (满脸愁容地). “And green grass and swimming, and 英语试题 第 10 页（共 14 页） everything. I even miss the sound of rain on the roof.” The colony was housed inside a huge transparent dome (圆顶). There was no weather there at all—no rain or snow or even wind. “Worst of all,” Carina continued, “my birthday is in two days, and I don’t think Mom and Dad are planning anything special. They’re too busy.” “She’s probably right.” thought Collin. Life on the Moon was hectic (紧张忙碌的) for scientists like their parents. He doubted they had time to plan a party. And how could they anyway? Things such as balloons and birthday candles didn’t exist on the colony. We don’t even have the rations (定 量口粮) to make a cake. “Don’t worry.” Collin put an arm around Carina’s shoulder. Collin wandered toward the agricultural center, where his mom worked. Some days, he helped her take measurements or harvest crops. Today he found her taking notes in a patch (地块) of tall tube-like plants. “What are those?” he asked. “Bamboo plants,” said Mom. “They are strong and grow fast. They make good building material.” He spotted a one-foot section of bamboo that had broken from a larger stalk. “May I have that piece?” “Sure.” Mom handed it to him and made a note on her chart. The next day, as his teacher supervised (监督), Collin drilled tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and inserted small nails into each hole. He poured a handful of Moon pebbles (鹅卵石) inside the tube and taped heavy-duty fabric scraps (耐用的织物碎片) over the open ends. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150 左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home. “What is it?” Carina asked, looking at it curiously. 英语试题 第 11 页（共 14 页） 江苏省六校联合 2021 届高三第四次适应性考试 英语试题评分参考 第一部分 听力 第一节 （共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分） 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．A 第二节 （共 15 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 22.5 分） 6．C 7．B 8．C 9．A 10．C 11．B 12．A 13．C 14．B 15．C 16．A 17．C 18．B 19．C 20．A 第二部分 阅读 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分） 21．A 22．C 23．B 24．C 25．D 26．D 27．B 28．A 29．C 30．D 31．A 32．D 33．B 34．A 35．B 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 36．D 37．B 38．E 39．G 40．A 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 41．C 42．A 43．D 44．C 45．C 46．A 47．B 48．B 49．D 50．C 51．A 52．A 53．B 54．D 55．D 第二节 （共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分） 56．to print 57．which 58．the 59．because 60．acquisition 61．secured 62．Until 63．be forced 64．routinely 65．existential 第四部分 写作 第一节 （满分 15 分） 作答示例 Smart life from Smart Mobile Phone 9 Smart Mobile Phone 9 will make your life smarter in an all-round way!

He hid it behind his back and slid open the front door. To his surprise, Mom was carrying something that looked like a cake. He looked closer and realized Mom had topped a flat brown oatcake with dried apples and cinnamon sugar. A real treat, on the Moon. After the family had sung to Carina and Dad had cut the cake, Collin said, “And now I have a present for you.” He handed his sister the bamboo rod, “Happy birthday!” “What is it?” Carina asked, looking at it curiously. “A rain stick,” said Collin. “Whenever you turn it over, the Moon pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain.” Carina turned the stick, and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof. “It’s Moon rain!” she said. “It makes me feel like I’m home.” She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again. 附： 听力原文 Text 1 M: OK, folks, we’re almost at the last stop.

If you have a membership card, I can give you 20% discount. M: Great, here is my membership card. Text 8 W: So, Henry, you’ve been to Thailand, right? What did you do there? M: Well, one of the things I did there was to take a Thai cooking course. W: Oh, wow. I noticed some people learning to make Thai food from TV. How did you learn that? M: Well, it was really interesting actually. They picked me up first thing in the morning and drove me to a local market, where they introduced me to various herbs, fruits and vegetables. Then they took me to an outdoor kitchen right by a beach. I got to do cooking right in front of a beautiful beach. W: Wow. M: There were two teachers that taught me how to do all these things. And they even taught me how to do fruit carving. W: That sounds fantastic. And do you ever cook Thai food at home now? 英语试题 第 14 页（共 14 页） M: Not yet, but I plan to run a restaurant of my own. W: Good. Text 9 W: Tim, if you could pick any job, what do you think would be a cool job, a movie actor or a rock star? M: Well, I think it would be pretty cool to be a fisherman. W: Do you get paid a lot of money? M: Not so much, but you can work with nature. You can catch your own food. How about your cool job? A movie star? W: No. I think I would like to be a writer. M: Why is that? W: Because a movie star would be good but there is too much fame. Too many people always want to talk to you or want your autograph. As a writer, you can make your own time and do it whenever you like. M: Yeah. Any other jobs you would like to be? W: I think an astronaut would be good. I like to conduct experiments in a spacesuit. What appeals to me most is looking back at the Earth, the blue planet. M: Sounds like you like the ocean. You should think about being a fisherwoman. W: No way! Text 10 Here are the instructions for next weekend’s camping trip in Scotland. There are seventeen people going on this trip, so it’s important that you arrive at the meeting point at 7∶30 am so that we’ll be able to leave at 8 am. Please make sure you are on the right minibus. Last week’s e-mail gave all this information. We should arrive in the camping area at about 2 pm, which will give us enough time to buy the food we need in the local supermarket. Then we’ll go to the hills where we will set up a total of four large tents. Each tent will have a tent leader, a person who went on this trip last year and therefore has the necessary experience. If you have any problems during the two days, you may turn to your tent leader for help. We are not expecting there to be very bad weather this weekend in Scotland, but the weather situation in the Scottish hills is always very unpredictable and for this reason, we have advised everyone to take wet weather clothing with you. If you have any other questions about the trip, come either to me or Mrs. Sanderson.
