I love to start the day with a strong black coffee and couldn’t wait to use it. I looked forward to the following morning’s coffee making, knowing that I probably wouldn’t smash (打 碎) this plunger as easily as I had done so often in the past. But as I poured my first cup of coffee, the plunger spilled (洒 出) all over the table. Thankfully no one was around to see my disappointed face! I kept trying, but each morning would see me wiping up the coffee. Then I realized that if I poured very slowly there would be no spilling. This was at first a very painful experience. My normal practice was to rush through breakfast so that I could get on with my day. But in time I learned not only to pour slowly but to enjoy the experience: the smell, the taste, and the stillness of a new day. It prompted (促使) me to reflect upon whether there were other areas of my life I was rushing through. Most of life, it seemed. I started to leave extra time to do even the most ordinary tasks. When shop owners would apologize for keeping me waiting, I’d say, “Not a problem. I’m not in a hurry. ” Even hanging out washing became pleasurable when a couple of extra minutes of standing still and listening to the birds singing in the trees around me became part of my routine. Besides, one of my favorite experiences living in the inner city for many years was sitting on the front doorstep of our home spending time with strangers. We sat on the steps, each of us with a cup of coffee in our hands, listening to each other’s stories. It was one of the warmest things about living in a busy city. It was as if the world around us slowed to a pace (步伐) we could both handle. Stillness and quietness not only slow the pace of life, but also feed the soul, helping us to enjoy the world’s small pleasures. 24. What was the author’s life like before receiving the coffee plunger? A. Hurried. B. Relaxing. C. Simple. D. Disappointing. 25. What does the word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Dealing with the spilled coffee. B. Learning to use the new coffee plunger. C. Trying to pour coffee more slowly. D. Rushing through breakfast. 26. What happened when the author changed her lifestyle? A. She had more time for important things. B. She found joy in ordinary tasks. C. She made friends with many shop owners. D. She had a better relationship with her family members. 27. What is the main purpose of this article? A. To tell people how to live a meaningful and full life. B. To reflect on the meaning of living a slow-paced life. C. To show the importance of the gift from her daughter. D. To encourage readers to communicate more with strangers. C Around this time a few years ago, it was common to see videos of friends on social media having a bucket of icy water thrown on them. Known as the “ice bucket challenge”, it was created as a way to raise money for the medical condition ALS. But now, there’s a new challenge and this time, no water is involved. What is it? Well, think of a fruit that you’d never normally sink your teeth into. Perhaps you’ve got it: a lemon. While we enjoy using lemons to add flavor to dishes, very few of us would actually eat one as we’d eat an apple or an orange. But the horrible taste is the precise reason why the “lemon face challenge” is taking off. Participants bite into a lemon, taking a selfie as they do it before posting the photo online. The fun is all about expression people make as all that citric acid(柠檬酸)hits their taste buds(味蕾). Every expression seems to say, “This is worse than freezing water. ” The serious side to this trend is the good cause it’s all in aid of. The challenge aims to raise awareness of a rare brain cancer that affects young children. It was started by Aubreigh Nicholas, an 11-year-old US kid. She was diagnosed with this rare brain cancer herself in September 2017, but has since raised almost $50, 000 to cover her medical expenses thanks to the challenge. If a challenge is going to raise publicity and contributions from people, it has to be something interesting and original. That way the ice bucket challenge took off in 2014 and it explains why so many people are now sharing their lemon faces. There are a lot of stories about the downside of social media these days. The charity challenges, however, show how online culture can unite the world and bring help to the people who most need it. 28. Why is the ice bucket challenge mentioned in the article? A. To show how charity gained its popularity online. B. To introduce a similar challenge that raises money for charity. C. To attract people’s attention to a rare disease. D. To prove its popularity around the world. 29. Compared with the pre-Internet charity, what is the advantage of online charity? A. It raises more money than ever before. B. It is started by the people who suffer rare diseases. C. It brings people together easily and quickly. D. It causes little doubt among people. 30. What does the underlined phrase “took off” in the last paragraph mean? A. Go away suddenly. B. Become successful and popular. C. Remove your clothes. D. Take a break. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards online charity? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Negative. D. Ambiguous. D Tim Berners-Lee. If you don’t know his name, you’ve surely used his famous invention—the World Wide Web, a system we use to search for information on the Internet. On Oct. 29, the Internet officially turned 50 years old. “This birthday must mark the moment we take on the fight for the web we want. ” Speaking at the University of California, he pointed out three problems affecting today’s web-criminal(犯罪的)behavior, ad-based clickbait websites(钓 鱼网站), and offensive online communication. These problems led Berners-Lee to create the Web Foundation and a contract (契约)for the web. Both aim to protect Internet users. In the contract, he mentioned the need for companies to make sure that everyone has web access, called for a reduction in offensive material, and more personal data privacy. The latter is a hot topic right now. Big companies, like Facebook, have misused users’ personal information by sharing it with advertisers. Despite all of these bad sides, we shouldn’t forget about all the benefits the Internet brings. In this digital age, the Internet connects the world through social media, cashless payments and has become an instant source of information. It can also make a positive difference through activities that push for positive change, education or aid. One such campaign is Movember. The movement, held every November, encourages men to grow a moustache for the whole month, post pictures online, and donate. The charity promotes physical health, mental health, and suicide(自杀)prevention for men. Not to mention, the Internet is also a source of fun. From funny kitten videos on Weibo to your very own Douyin videos, the Internet allows you to share what you create. Speaking to the Web Foundation, Berners-Lee said, “The web has become a public square, a library, a doctor’s office, a shop, a school, and it has given marginalized groups a voice. ” “In the next 30 years, if we give up on trying to build a better web . . . we will have failed it. We need to come together as a global community. ” 32. Why were the Web Foundation and the contract for the web created? A. To celebrate the Internet’s 50th birthday. B. To build a protected network environment. C. To increase Internet speeds around the world. D. To fight online crime. 33. What is the purpose of Movember? A. To encourage men to do charity work. B. To promote a healthy lifestyle. C. To support men’s health issues. D. To draw public attention to mental health issues. 34. What does the phrase “marginalized groups” in the second-to-last paragraph probably refer to? A. Wealthy people. B. Old people. C. People in power. D. Disadvantaged people. 35. What is the main idea of the article? A. The future of the World Wide Web. B. The history of the World Wide Web. C. Tim Berners-Lee’s plan to save the World Wide Web. D. The problems with the World Wide Web. 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。 (2020·长春高一检测) There have been a lot of comments recently surrounding 5G, the next generation of wireless technology. 36 ? How might it change our lives? 5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the progression(进步; 进展) of technology to replace the current(现在的) 4G system. Earlier “G” systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity (容量). 37 .

It will affect many more devices and industries than other “G” versions(版本). 5G will help fuel future “smart cities” by connecting sensor networks. 5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality (虚拟现实). Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information. 39 . The increased data flow across 5G networks would give Internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data. In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety. 40 , or a network breakdown could cause self-driving vehicles to crash. A. Why is 5G so popular B. What is this technology C. Every coin has two sides D. The new 5G system promises more of the same E. It will move beyond mobile network technology F. A breakdown of 5G networks may cause economic losses G.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分 25 分) American English began in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, the English language was brought to North America by colonists (殖民者) from England. They used the language spoken in England, that is, Elizabethan English, the language used by Shakespeare. In order to find new resources in America, British colonists settled down there and from 1607 to 1732 set up thirteen colonies, including Virginia, North Carolina, New York, and New Jersey. In these thirteen areas, English was a common language used by all people. The first colonists established the English form in America. As time went by, the English language gradually changed on both sides of the Atlantic. Foreigners longing for wealth set foot on the coastal area to trade. Americans borrowed many words from foreign languages and invented numerous new words to meet their commercial needs. Following American Independence, famous people like Thomas Jefferson, the President, began to consider that the country should have a language of its own. Noah Webster compiled (编撰) three elementary books on English. Later, he expressed the idea that as an independent nation, America should have a system of its own in language as well as in government. Since the rise of the United States to a position of world importance, American English has been developing and changing. There is no doubt that American English will enrich the English language greatly. With the rapid development of modern mass media and the common needs of economic, cultural and political exchanges, American English is more widely used in the world than British English. ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ 读后续写 Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see! ” “No, ” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ” “You are a coward(胆小鬼), and afraid to go, ” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual. But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together. Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun. A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed(尖叫) for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him. 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 个左右; 2. 应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语; 3. 续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好; 4. 续写完成后, 请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: Robert was fast sinking. ________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Thus, Robert’s life was saved. ____________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Unit 3 The Internet 单元素养评价(三) (Unit 3) (120 分钟 150 分) 第一部分 听力 (共两节, 满分 30 分) 第一节(共 5 小题; 每小题 1. 5 分, 满分 7. 5 分) 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳 选项。听完每段对话后, 你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅 读一遍。 Text 1 M: I’ve got my camera with me. ①But am I allowed to take photos here?

I love to start the day with a strong black coffee and couldn’t wait to use it. I looked forward to the following morning’s coffee making, knowing that I probably wouldn’t smash (打 碎) this plunger as easily as I had done so often in the past. But as I poured my first cup of coffee, the plunger spilled (洒 出) all over the table. Thankfully no one was around to see my disappointed face! I kept trying, but each morning would see me wiping up the coffee. Then I realized that if I poured very slowly there would be no spilling. This was at first a very painful experience. My normal practice was to rush through breakfast so that I could get on with my day. But in time I learned not only to pour slowly but to enjoy the experience: the smell, the taste, and the stillness of a new day. It prompted (促使) me to reflect upon whether there were other areas of my life I was rushing through. Most of life, it seemed. I started to leave extra time to do even the most ordinary tasks. When shop owners would apologize for keeping me waiting, I’d say, “Not a problem. I’m not in a hurry. ” Even hanging out washing became pleasurable when a couple of extra minutes of standing still and listening to the birds singing in the trees around me became part of my routine. Besides, one of my favorite experiences living in the inner city for many years was sitting on the front doorstep of our home spending time with strangers. We sat on the steps, each of us with a cup of coffee in our hands, listening to each other’s stories. It was one of the warmest things about living in a busy city. It was as if the world around us slowed to a pace (步伐) we could both handle. Stillness and quietness not only slow the pace of life, but also feed the soul, helping us to enjoy the world’s small pleasures. 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者改变了以往快节奏的生活方式, 生活 节奏慢下来以后她在日常生活中的小事中找到了快乐。 24.

Known as the “ice bucket challenge”, it was created as a way to raise money for the medical condition ALS. But now, there’s a new challenge and this time, no water is involved. What is it? Well, think of a fruit that you’d never normally sink your teeth into. Perhaps you’ve got it: a lemon. While we enjoy using lemons to add flavor to dishes, very few of us would actually eat one as we’d eat an apple or an orange. But the horrible taste is the precise reason why the “lemon face challenge” is taking off. Participants bite into a lemon, taking a selfie as they do it before posting the photo online. The fun is all about expression people make as all that citric acid(柠檬酸)hits their taste buds(味蕾). Every expression seems to say, “This is worse than freezing water. ” The serious side to this trend is the good cause it’s all in aid of. The challenge aims to raise awareness of a rare brain cancer that affects young children. It was started by Aubreigh Nicholas, an 11-year-old US kid. She was diagnosed with this rare brain cancer herself in September 2017, but has since raised almost $50, 000 to cover her medical expenses thanks to the challenge. If a challenge is going to raise publicity and contributions from people, it has to be something interesting and original. That way the ice bucket challenge took off in 2014 and it explains why so many people are now sharing their lemon faces. There are a lot of stories about the downside of social media these days. The charity challenges, however, show how online culture can unite the world and bring help to the people who most need it. 【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。本文论述了“冰桶挑战” “柠檬脸挑战”等网络文化如何 帮助那些最需要帮助的人。 28. Why is the ice bucket challenge mentioned in the article? A. To show how charity gained its popularity online. B. To introduce a similar challenge that raises money for charity. C. To attract people’s attention to a rare disease. D.

But now, there’s a new challenge. . . 可知, 在文章中提到了“冰桶挑战”是为了引入一个类似的为慈善事 业筹集资金的挑战活动。故选 B。 29. Compared with the pre-Internet charity, what is the advantage of online charity? A. It raises more money than ever before. B. It is started by the people who suffer rare diseases. C. It brings people together easily and quickly. D. It causes little doubt among people. 【解析】选 C。推理判断题。根据最后一段中. . . however, show how online culture can unite the world and bring help to the people who most need it. 可知, 与互联网前的 慈善机构相比, 在线慈善的优势是它能让人们容易并快速地聚在一起, 帮助需要帮助的人。 故选 C。 30. What does the underlined phrase “took off” in the last paragraph mean? A. Go away suddenly. B. Become successful and popular. C. Remove your clothes. D. Take a break. 【解析】选 B。词义猜测题。根据最后一段中 That way the ice bucket challenge took off in 2014 and it explains why so many people are now sharing their lemon faces. 可 知, “冰桶挑战”在 2014 年获得成功, 这也解释了为什么现在有那么多人在分享他们的柠 檬脸。由此推知划线词的意思是“变得成功和受欢迎”, 故选 B。 31.

Ambiguous. 【解析】选 A。观点态度题。根据最后一段最后一句可知, 网络文化可以团结世界, 给最需要 帮助的人带来帮助。作者对在线慈善的态度是“肯定的”, 故选 A。 D Tim Berners-Lee. If you don’t know his name, you’ve surely used his famous invention—the World Wide Web, a system we use to search for information on the Internet. On Oct. 29, the Internet officially turned 50 years old. “This birthday must mark the moment we take on the fight for the web we want. ” Speaking at the University of California, he pointed out three problems affecting today’s web-criminal(犯罪的)behavior, ad-based clickbait websites(钓 鱼网站), and offensive online communication. These problems led Berners-Lee to create the Web Foundation and a contract (契约)for the web. Both aim to protect Internet users. In the contract, he mentioned the need for companies to make sure that everyone has web access, called for a reduction in offensive material, and more personal data privacy. The latter is a hot topic right now. Big companies, like Facebook, have misused users’ personal information by sharing it with advertisers. Despite all of these bad sides, we shouldn’t forget about all the benefits the Internet brings. In this digital age, the Internet connects the world through social media, cashless payments and has become an instant source of information. It can also make a positive difference through activities that push for positive change, education or aid. One such campaign is Movember. The movement, held every November, encourages men to grow a moustache for the whole month, post pictures online, and donate. The charity promotes physical health, mental health, and suicide(自杀)prevention for men. Not to mention, the Internet is also a source of fun. From funny kitten videos on Weibo to your very own Douyin videos, the Internet allows you to share what you create. Speaking to the Web Foundation, Berners-Lee said, “The web has become a public square, a library, a doctor’s office, a shop, a school, and it has given marginalized groups a voice. ” “In the next 30 years, if we give up on trying to build a better web . . . we will have failed it. We need to come together as a global community. ” 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了面对网络的一些犯罪, 为了保障网络的安全, 蒂 姆·伯纳斯·李计划采取一些措施来应对这些情况。 32. Why were the Web Foundation and the contract for the web created? A. To celebrate the Internet’s 50th birthday. B. To build a protected network environment. C. To increase Internet speeds around the world. D. To fight online crime. 【解析】选 B。细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句 Both aim to protect Internet users. 可 知 B 为正确选项。 33. What is the purpose of Movember? A. To encourage men to do charity work. B. To promote a healthy lifestyle. C. To support men’s health issues. D. To draw public attention to mental health issues. 【解析】选 C。细节理解题。根据第七段 The charity promotes physical health, mental health, and suicide prevention for men. 可知这个活动是为了提倡身体健康、精神健康, 预防男人的自杀。故选 C 项。 34.

Have you seen films in which two trains crashed or a ship 41 into the ocean? If so, you may have wondered how these things could happen without 42 the actors and actresses in the film. The man who knows the 43 is the “special-effects” man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. He may be ordered to 44 a flood or to make a battlefield explode. But he may also be told to create a 45 effect which is much less exciting, 46 just as important to the success of the film. In a 47 for one movie there was a big glass bowl filled with water in which small fish were swimming. The director of the movie 48 the fish to stop swimming suddenly so that they seemed to stare at an actor. Then the director wanted the fish to 49 staring and swim. But fish can’t be ordered to do anything. It was quite a 50 . The special-effects man thought about the problem for a long time. The result was an idea for 51 the fish with a harmless use of electricity. 52 he applied electricity to the fish bowl causing the fish to be absolutely 53 . Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity, allowing the fish to be free. Thus he got the humourous effect the 54 wanted. In other parts of movie making there are also special-effects men who have developed 55 skills in creating certain kinds of effects.

Actually, we are having e-learning at home, studying in the “classroom in the air” all the academic and non-academic subjects. The holiday schedule runs from 8: 00 am till 4: 30 pm on work days, with more and longer breaks for rest than usual. Personally, I’ve got used to online learning, which I think is a creative form of schooling, and also our own way to fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. We’ve come to realize how important computers and mobile phones have become to us! But I really miss the days with my friends and teachers on campus. That’s why I pray for the end of the epidemic every day, and I believe it’ll soon come. Best wishes. Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分 25 分) American English began in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, the English language was brought to North America by colonists (殖民者) from England. They used the language spoken in England, that is, Elizabethan English, the language used by Shakespeare. In order to find new resources in America, British colonists settled down there and from 1607 to 1732 set up thirteen colonies, including Virginia, North Carolina, New York, and New Jersey. In these thirteen areas, English was a common language used by all people. The first colonists established the English form in America. As time went by, the English language gradually changed on both sides of the Atlantic. Foreigners longing for wealth set foot on the coastal area to trade. Americans borrowed many words from foreign languages and invented numerous new words to meet their commercial needs. Following American Independence, famous people like Thomas Jefferson, the President, began to consider that the country should have a language of its own. Noah Webster compiled (编撰) three elementary books on English. Later, he expressed the idea that as an independent nation, America should have a system of its own in language as well as in government. Since the rise of the United States to a position of world importance, American English has been developing and changing. There is no doubt that American English will enrich the English language greatly. With the rapid development of modern mass media and the common needs of economic, cultural and political exchanges, American English is more widely used in the world than British English. ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 American English was born in the 17th century. At first, English was brought to America by the British colonists and then changed gradually with the development of economy. It was after American Independence that American English was finally formed. Nowadays, American English is becoming more influential due to its important position in world affairs. 读后续写 Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see! ” “No, ” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ” “You are a coward(胆小鬼), and afraid to go, ” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual. But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together. Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun. A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed(尖叫) for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him. 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 个左右; 2. 应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语; 3. 续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好; 4. 续写完成后, 请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: Robert was fast sinking. ________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Thus, Robert’s life was saved. ____________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 Paragraph 1: Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time. By great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Robert to the shore. Paragraph 2: Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed at having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.
