B Born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler Nov. 9,1914,the Austria native took an early interest in the performing arts, but seemed equally fascinated with science and engineering. In 1937, she signed a contract with Hollywood's Metro-Gollwyn-Mayer studio under the name Hedy Lamarr. Her first film was a great success and soon Lamarr was a household name. During her Hollywood years, Lamar was known for her knowledge on aviation(航空) design and theory. But it wasn't until 1942 that Lamarr's innovative thinking inspired a creative invention. In cooperation with composer George Antheil, Lamarr designed a frequency-hopping (跳频）system that minimized the jamming of radio signals. During World WarⅡ Hedy's mother was trapped in Vienna. It was hard for Hedy to help her mother to get to America because every American ship was getting blown up by the Nazis. So she worked on inventing a remote controlled torpedo(鱼雷)so advanced that it would be able to hunt down and blow up every Nazi sub marine in the Atlantic, thus securing safe passage to the US. To make sure the Nazis couldn't detect the radio signal for her torpedo, she created a "secret communication system "that couldn't be detected. The "secret communication system” employed changing radio frequencies to prevent enemies from interpreting messages. Multiple radio frequencies were used to broadcast a radio signal, which changed frequencies in an apparently random manner. To anyone listening, it would just sound like noise. But the signal would be clear if both the sender and receiver hopped frequencies at the same time. Although the technology was never used in wartime, it ended up playing a critical role in communication methods throughout the decades. Many believe that Lamarr's invention made technology like Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth, as well as devices like cellphones, possible. 24. What does the underlined words "the jamming of radio signals" in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Detecting the radio signals. B. Sending the radio signals. C. Receiving the radio signals. D. Boosting the radio signals. 25. What led Lamarr to invent a new communication system? A. Her passion for science. B. Her interest in performing. C. Her contract with a studio. D. Her desire to help her mother out. 26. What does paragraph 4 focus on? A. Showing the application of the system. B. Interpreting how the system functioned. C. Stressing the significance of the system. D. Explaining how the system was invented. 27. What can we infer about Hedy Lamarr from the test? A. She was very ambitious. B. She was a productive actress. C. She was completely devoted to science. D. She contributed to communication technology. C Kids spend a lot of time looking at screens: And some parents worry. But a new study argues against the anxiety parents may feel. “ Parents are hearing a message that social media, digital technology use is causing very serious and harmful problems like depression, like suicide( 自 杀 ） related behaviors. " Candice Odgers, professor of psychological science at the University of California said. "But the idea is that if you shut off social media, you could in fact be making a situation worse. Parents are really being sent a message that is not supported by anything scientifically. " Odgers and her colleagues looked at the screen-related behavior of 400 public school students in North Carolina aged 10 to 14. The researchers found that the kids spent between almost five hours to seven hours per day on their devices: That's a lot of hours but the researchers didn't find connection between the amount of time that young people spent online using digital technologies and mental health signs like depression, or anxiety. They found that young people who sent more text messages actually reported better mental health. This was a small association, but it reflects what other people have found: the people who are very connected offline, who use technology in the positive ways to stay connected, often are more connected online as well and experiencing better mental health. So why the fears about screen time? Odgers argues that the methods for previous studies may have led to false conclusions. When given a survey, the kids were often asked to recall, over the past six months,” How often are you online?" and "Have you ever felt depressed?” And the relation between those two things has been used to spread a lot of fear around the connection between social media use and things like depression, yet 99. 5 %. of the reasons that kids differ in their depression is due to something other than the time they spend online. 28. The new study is mainly about the relation between A. kids screen time and their eyesight B. kids' screen time and their depression C. social media use and kids' mental health D. Internet environment and kid' mental health 29. What does Odgers think of the message parents received? A. It misleads people. B. It makes much sense C. It's confirmed by science. D. It reveals parents' ignorance. 30. What kind of kids bear better mental health? A. Kids spending less time online. B. Kids staying unconnected offline. C. Kids shutting off social media D. Kids positively using digital technology. 31. What's the main purpose of the text? A. To present a social phenomenon B. To challenge a common belief. C. To draw attention to kids’ health. D. To encourage more screen time. D Upright farming is a hugely promising agricultural technique that aims to produce more food to meet the growing population on our limited planet. Techniques include growing in vertical frames(垂向框架）or even in high-rise farms while moving farms into urban areas, and producing nutritious crops without topsoil. Vertical farmers plant crops in nutrient-rich water, so plants can be raised without soil. They also grow plants using water from fish tanks, or using nutrient water mist systems that reduce water use by more than 90per cent. which was a technique developed by NASA as a way for astronauts to grow in space and feed themselves without soil while preserving precious water supplies. All of these soil-less growing techniques use less or no chemicals, and recycle water with les waste. Plants can be sown and harvested year-round, free from bad weather conditions such as drought or flooding. "This is the farming of the future," said Paul Myers, co-founder of vertical farming enterprise Farm Urban. “Chemical-free and moving from the traditional horse and tractor agriculture that is steadily destroying the planet to a more sustainable approach. " The global vertical farming market is expected to be six times bigger in 2026 than it is today. This is fueled in part by rising demand for organic, chemical-free foods, but also by countries looking to increase their food security and cut down on imports --the UK for example uses more than 70 per cent of its land mass for agriculture but imports more than half of its food. As the vertical farming industry expands, it is worth noting that it has limitations -- it only works for some crops, and urban locations can be expensive. 32. Where will upright farming be popular in the future? A. In cities. B. In plains. C. In deserts. D. In the countryside. 33. What do the techniques mentioned in paragraph 2 have in common? A. Waste-free. B. Nutrient-rich. C. Soil-saving. D. Waterproof. 34. Why is upright farming promising? A. The trade routes are not secure. B. Organic food is increasingly popular. C. The economic benefit is substantial. D. Imports are becoming more difficult. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Upright Farming: How To Save Soil And Water B. Upright Farming: What To Plant In The New Way C. Vertical Farming: Raising Agriculture’s Potential D. Vertical Farming: Lowering Environmental Impact 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洗项。 How to Choose the Right University Degree for You Choosing the right university degree is perhaps one of the biggest decisions that you'll make in your life.

I looked around me in desperate search of a friendly face ,a smile, anything. I was quite disappointed, to say the least. And 1,in turn, felt somewhat foolish, walking across campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply attempting to follow the advice my mother had given me years before: when things get awkward, smile. No matter where you are, a smile will always be understood. A smile is universal. At that very moment, however, I felt my mother's advice didn't work. On top of it all, my mind was racing with questions and concerns typical of any 13-year-old on the first day of school: where would I sit at lunch? Who would I talk to? Not to mention, how would I make friends when I didn't even speak the language? My heartbeat quickened, and I felt nervous. Still. I did my best to maintain calm so as not to let my guard down and reveal to others just how seared I truly was. When the teacher introduced me to the class as the “American girl", 10 sets of hands immediately shot up. Some students had questions, others wanted to practice their English with me. Because I didn't speak much Chinese yet, I communicated with the other students through hand motions mixed in with broken English and Chinese. Despite the attention, I wasn't sure how much of it was positive. It was almost as if they weren't sure what to make of me and I was being examined. Then again, who could blame them? After all, I was the first American ever to attend the school. So essentially, we were all first timers. 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。 Then came the first class --Chinese painting.

There are 5 members in their family, the parents, the grandparents and a son, who is about my age. The parents work hard and have distinguished careers. The son, a good friend of mine, is one of the top students in our school. The grandparents are at home doing housework. All of them always wear a warm smile on their face, because they are confident about their life and work, as well as the future. They are having a happy life. 第二节 Then came the first class --- Chinese painting. The teacher showed us how to use a brush to paint bamboo on a piece of white paper. Then all the other students were in business. But it was quite difficult for me. How could I hold the stiff brush and made it go as I wished? Hesitating for a while, I tried dipping the brush into the ink bottle. When I took it out, drops of black ink fell on the white paper. There was no bamboo, but big black dots! As I burnt with great embarrassment, Li Hua, who was next to me, gave me a warm smile. I smiled back awkwardly. She came over and demonstrated how to use the brush. The brush moved across the paper, and a lively bamboo appeared! With her help, I finally completed the task, although it was such a ugly one. After that, we became good friends. She taught me Chinese while I taught her English. We both made great progress in our studies. Yes, my mother was right. A smile did make a difference. 录音稿 2021 年武汉市高三 4 月质量检测英语试题 Text 1 25 M: Excuse me. Where's the closest ATM? W: It's not far. Do you see that yellow building over there?
