閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。

A

Languages are dying out all the time. Here are four languages that were  once widely spoken but are now considered as “dead” languages.

Old Norse

Old Norse was spoken and written by the Vikings from about the 7th century.  It was used in countries like Iceland and parts of Russia. The Vikings were  famous for their attacks on neighbouring countries, and so Old Norse had an  influence on the languages of the places they attacked, including English. For  example, English words such as “egg, gift, anger, want, trust and score” come  from Old Norse.

Middle English

Middle English was spoken in England between the 12th and 15th centuries  and was very different from the English we use these days. In the past, England  was highly influenced by Old Norse. So was its language. There are no  manuscripts (手稿) in Middle English as it was much more fashionable to write in  French. Middle English gave way to modern English. One example of the wide use  of modern English was Shakespeare’s works.

Hunnir

Hunnir is the most mysterious of the languages on our list. The Huns were a  community that spread across eastern Europe in the 4th and 5th centuries.  Despite the Huns’ success in expanding their empire, their language was never  written down. The few words that are known are mainly names-in modern Turkey and  Mongolia. Apart from these, only three words are known; kamos, medos (types of  drinks) and strava (a big meal).

Ancient Greek

More than 4,000 years ago, the Greeks spoke an advanced language known  today as Ancient Greek, and developed the first alphabet. Indeed, the English  word “alphabet” is taken from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet: alpha  and beta. Although the language is no longer spoken anywhere, it continues to be  studied by scholars around the world and is regarded as one of the most  important languages of all time.

21. Which langu

age was spoken by the Vikings?

A. Old Norse. B. Middle English. C. Ancient Greek. D. Hunnir.

22. Why did Middle English disappear?

A. French was a popular written language then. B. Modern English replaced  Middle English.

C. Shakespeare didn’t use Middle English. D. Middle English was influenced  by Old Norse.

23. Which word comes from Ancient Greek?

A. Want. B. Kamos. C. Strava. D. Alphabet.

B

Iceland is Europe’s westernmost country. Over 1,000 years ago, ancient  explorers migrated from northern Europe to Iceland and established the country.  Most visitors’ popular destination is its capital city, Reykjavik, known for its  stylish architecture. The city’s downtown area is lined with shops, art  galleries, cafes, and bookstores.

Iceland is one of the most volcanically active nations in the world with a  number of hot springs, all of which are heated naturally by volcanic activity.  In fact, Iceland changes energy from these springs into electricity, which  powers and heats people’s homes. As a result, Iceland burns very little fossil  (化石) fuel, such as oil and gas. Hot springs are also popular among tourists.  They receive more than 1.3 million visitors a year, who can relax their muscles  and release their tension in the hot water.

Apart from springs, there is a range of outdoor activities for visitors to  enjoy elsewhere in the country. “Iceland is an adventure,” says Squire, whose  company organizes adventure trips. “We have Europe’s biggest glaciers (冰山),  active volcanoes, cave explorations, and skiing.” One of Iceland’s most popular  attractions is caving. Exploring Iceland’s unusual caves requires only basic  caving knowledge and equipment. Ice caves are more challenging, however, and  require special clothes and hiking tools.

If exploring caves and glaciers doesn’t interest you, head south. No trip  to Iceland would be complete without a visit to the Golden Circle, which  connects Gullfoss, Geysir, and Thingvellir Valley. Adventurers go to the  Thingvellir Valley, where the land is actually separating and the stony ground  beneath your feet frequently shifts. Hold on while you hike!

24. What is Reykjavik famous for?

A. Fashionable buildings. B. Small shops. C. Art galleries. D. Modern  cafes.

25. Where does Iceland mainly get electricity?

A. From solar power. B. From hot springs. C. From oil. D. From gas.

26. What is hiking in Thingvellir Valley like?

A. Risky. B. Enjoyable. C. Boring. D. Rewarding.

27. Who is this passage mainly written for?

A. Scientists. B. The locals. C. Tourists. D. Business travellers.

C

It was two in the morning, and a koala was caught on a fence. A phone rang  in the home of Ken, who was a volunteer devoted to rescuing wild koalas in  Queensland. When he arrived on the scene, Ken put on heavy gloves. If koalas  feel threatened, they bite. He then threw a blanket over the animal for more  protection from being bitten. He then firmly grasped the koala through the  blanket, and dropped it in a cage.

Normally, if the koala is healthy, it is released where it is found. Koalas  tend to eat from the same eucalyptus trees (桉樹) over and over. But, the problem  was that there were no eucalyptus trees left for this koala. Ken had to take it  to a small park nearby. Food is one of the reasons why koalas are at risk.

For 15 years, Ken has also been working on ways to make suburban areas more  koala-friendly. He believes that koalas and humans can live together if certain  changes are made. He recommends reducing speed limits in streets, creating more  green areas for koalas to live in. What’s even more important is the need to  preserve eucalyptus trees.

Even if these changes are made, koalas still have another problem. “Disease  is a huge issue,” explains Ken. He says that almost half of Queensland’s female  koalas are affected by a strange disease. “Without treatment, the koalas are  unable to have babies. Koalas are becoming extinct,” says Ken.

Later that day, Ken visited a forest near Queensland to catch Tea, a wild  female koala. Ken had been following Tea for over a year. Using special  equipment, Ken walked and listened for a signal from the koala’s radio collar.  He eventually found Tea sitting on a tree branch. Ken climbed up a ladder and  caught Tea. After some medical check-ups, Ken found she had a baby. “As long as  there are healthy babies,” he said, “there’s still hope.”

28. What did Ken use the blanket for?

A. Catching the koala after it fell from a fence. B. Covering the koala so  that it didn’t harm him.

C. Keeping the koala warm after it was caught. D. Helping the koala stay  calm in the cage.

29. Why was the koala that Ken caught released in a nearby park?

A. The koala was in a good physical condition. B. Koalas were fed in the  same trees again and again.

C. It was the only place nearby that had eucalyptus trees. D. That was  where the koala probably had its own baby.

30. What did Ken want to do with Tea?

A. To see if she had a baby. B. To put a radio collar on her.

C. To keep her in a cage. D. To give her medicine.

31. In which section of a newspaper may this passage appear?

A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. People and Animals. D. Politics.

Behind the enthusiastic song of an all-male choir (合唱隊) lies a force that  is better known for shaping the lives of hopeful frogs and crickets, research  suggests. Recordings of a top boys’ choir, once directed by Johann Sebastian  Bach in Germany, reveal that the more mature boys in the group boosted their  voices when girls were appreciating their performances. The effect, seen only  among the older singers, aged 16 to 19, is thought to be similar behaviour more  often observed in frogs and crickets, which enhance their individual calls to  stand out from the crowd during mate-attracting choruses.

“The boys’ singing sounds more brilliant and has a more attractive quality  when girls are in the audience, but it is subtle,” said Keller, a professor who  led the work at the centre for music in the brain at a university in Denmark.  Keller and his colleagues teamed up with a well-known choir in Germany after a  student and former member of the choir mentioned that the boys boosted their  voices in a barely noticeable manner when female audience members were  present.

Sound analysis of the boys singing a song composed by Bach found that, in  the presence of girls aged 15 to 16, the boys improved their vocal brilliance  and carried power by putting more energy. But it was unclear whether people, as  opposed to sensitive sound devices, could detect the shift in voices, and if  they could, whether the resulting sound was more or less appealing because of  the enhanced singer’s performance.

To find out, the researchers ran two online studies in which 2,247 male and  female volunteers listened to recordings of the boys singing with and without  girls in the audience. While both male and female participants showed a  difference between the two performances, only female volunteers preferred the  boosted singing. “It’s really hard to tell,” Keller said. Details are published  in a journal.

For the recordings, the boys performed once before an all-male audience and  a second time when a group of teenage girls joined the front row on the pretence  of being on a school trip. In interviews after the concert, the boys felt they  sang better in front of the girls but none admitted trying to attract their  attention.

According to the scientists, the findings suggest choir singing is a  special form of social communication where cooperation and competitiveness, the  latter potentially motivated by the opposite sex, can exist alongside one  another. “You have a group of people working together,” said Keller, “but at the  same time individually having this parallel channel of communication, sending  out the competitive signal saying: pick me!”

32. What drives the mature boys to sing better according to Paragraph  1?

A. Their directors. B. Their audience. C. The frogs. D. The crickets.

33. What does the underlined word “subtle” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Brilliant. B. Competitive. C. Unforgettable. D. Unnoticeable.

34. How did Keller’s team carry out the research?

A. By observing the singers. B. By studying documents.

C. By doing field research. D. By conducting studies online.

35. What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Cooperation or Competition B. Force behind Boy’s Choir

C. Research into the Performance D. Attractive Frogs and Cricket Songs

How to Succeed in a Job Interview

While most people want jobs, few look forward to being interviewed. Job  interviews are stressful situations for even the most qualified candidates  because applicants have only one opportunity to show that they will do better  than the other applicants in the position they are seeking. 36

Applicants should research the company and learn about it as much as  possible. They should not just focus on the department that may hire them. 37  Interviewers frequently ask the following questions, “What do you know about our  company, and why would you like to work here?” To answer this kind of questions,  applicants must have done sufficient research to understand the needs of the  entire company.

38 The reason for this is quite clear. The interviewers are repeating the  same questions to different candidates over several days, or even several weeks.  39 So, applicants should use this opportunity to impress the interviewers. They  must recognize that the interviewers want to learn more about them, so they  should give full, detailed, and unique answers to the questions.

Applicants should be careful about their non-verbal (非言語的) communication.  Gestures, expressions and actions can speak a great deal louder than any words.  For example, the interviewers notice an applicant glance at his or her watch or  cell phone during an interview. 40

Although an applicant can never see precisely how an interview will go on,  careful planning, detailed answers and attention to non-verbal communication  will make the process of applying for a job more likely to be successful.

A. Instead, they should get to know the company as a whole.

B. They expect a good answer that they have never heard before.

C. Therefore, they need to pay attention to the way they use gestures.

D. To ensure a better chance for the job, consider the following  advice.

E. To approach a job interview successfully, applicants should prepare  well.

F. Applicants should consider ways to make their answers unique so that  they will stand out.

G. It is quite possible that the interviewers will likely feel that this  person is not that interested in the position.

When I turned to 53 him, he was gone. I will never know that kind man’s  name, but I will always remember his 54 kindness. He helped me when I badly  needed it. I can only hope that one day I will be able to do the same for  another traveler 55 through a journey.

It was a typical Monday morning for Jenny, a diligent high school senior.  The sound of her alarm clock woke her up, a rude awakening from her sweet  dreams. She unwillingly opened her eyes, knowing what waited for her-another 5  long days at school.

Dragging herself out of bed, Jenny went through her usual morning routine.  She hurriedly got dressed, grabbed her backpack, and rushed to the kitchen for  breakfast. Her mother had prepared a nutritious meal, but Jenny had no appetite.  She was too occupied with thoughts of an upcoming exam in her most challenging  subject, mathematics.

As Jenny walked to school, her mind wandered back to the countless hours  she had spent studying and practicing equations (方程式). She had put in lots of  effort, hoping to improve her grades. However, despite her dedication, she was  struggling to achieve the desired results. Doubts started crawling in, and  anxiety stayed in her mind like dark clouds.

As students settled into their seats, Mr. Johnson, their math teacher,  announced that the exam would take place that afternoon. Jenny started to feel  afraid. She suddenly realized that she had forgotten her calculator at home, an  essential tool for the exam. Panic turned into hopelessness, as she knew that  borrowing one during the test would be strictly prohibited.

Jenny’s friends, Emma and David, noticed her worry and approached her after  class. They offered their help. Emma suggested that Jenny be honest to Mr.  Johnson and explain her situation. David, however, had a different plan. He  proposed sneaking (偷偷給) his calculator to her during the exam, risking  punishment for cheating.

浙江省9+1高中聯(lián)盟2024屆高三上學(xué)期期中聯(lián)考數(shù)學(xué)試題

高三英語怎樣復(fù)習(xí)

1、提高英語閱讀理解能力。英語閱讀是比較重要的一個環(huán)節(jié)，英語閱讀理解最好能做到每天至少練習(xí)一篇。高三英語閱讀理解能力簡單的說就是：通過快速的閱讀文章、材料，快速的提取段落、文章的脈絡(luò)和重點，促進(jìn)整理歸納分析，提高做題效率。

2、高三英語提分首先要記憶單詞，這是一個開端，作用是對生詞有一個初步的印象。隨后你要通過做題，結(jié)合具體的語言環(huán)境去記憶單詞的意思，這個過程會進(jìn)一步加深你對單詞的理解，使你更容易記住。再然后，你要把做過的題目好好消化一下，做做標(biāo)注，寫寫筆記，不能做過題目對過答案之后就再也不去看它。

高三英語學(xué)習(xí)后期你還要經(jīng)?；剡^頭來看一看，復(fù)習(xí)一下。記憶是一個循環(huán)往復(fù)的過程，不可能一勞永逸，記一遍就會了。有了單詞的基礎(chǔ)，你就可以更輕松地去做題了。學(xué)習(xí)語言就是這樣，先單詞，再詞組，然后一個句子，然后一段話，然后一篇文章。

高三英語學(xué)習(xí)的注意事項

一、鞏固基礎(chǔ)

高三英語的學(xué)習(xí),其實還是要鞏固,突破與提高結(jié)合。這是必要的,也是同學(xué)們在高三學(xué)習(xí)英語的一個過程。鞏固基礎(chǔ),就是要讓大家理解一些基本的英語知識,比如我們在學(xué)習(xí)的時候,應(yīng)該懂得學(xué)習(xí)一些基本的知識,并且能夠運用,在此基礎(chǔ)上,把自己的英語成績真正提升上去。

二、虛心求教

我們在學(xué)習(xí)的過程中,必須得發(fā)現(xiàn)問題,這樣我們還要向老師請教。我們不懂不要緊,最可怕的就是不懂裝懂,這樣的人往往讓人感到很可氣,大家仔細(xì)想想或許也有幾番道理吧。

三、善于交流

高三英語學(xué)習(xí),大多數(shù)還是和同學(xué)在一起吧,我們在學(xué)習(xí)的過程中,應(yīng)該注重一些知識的獲取。比如我們在學(xué)習(xí)的時候,應(yīng)該和同學(xué)們在一起交流,為何我這道題是錯誤的,為何這道題應(yīng)該這樣做,這樣時間久了,一定會給我們一些收獲。

四、糾正錯題

英語的學(xué)習(xí),有些時候和數(shù)學(xué)一樣,都是會出現(xiàn)一些錯題,這些錯題往往就是我們要著重去學(xué)習(xí)的地方。我們在學(xué)習(xí)的過程中,應(yīng)該注意這方面的學(xué)習(xí),比如結(jié)合一些試題,我們可以知道自己哪些地方?jīng)]有掌握,哪些是薄弱環(huán)節(jié)。我們在學(xué)習(xí)的過程中,還是應(yīng)該注重這方面的學(xué)習(xí),這對我們來說還是有很大好處的。
