高三英语试题
第一卷
第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30 分）
A
A home science experiment recently took the world by storm. Two teens from Toronto, in Canada, sent a Lego man rising above the Earth and captured their tiny astronaut’s trip on film.
Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad,both 17, used a weather balloon to launch their plastic lego model 16 miles above the Earth. This is inside a part of Earth’s atmosphere.
The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT). The MIT students had launched a weather balloon with a camera into near space and taken many unusual images of the Earth. Mathew and Asad then spend four months figuring out how to launch their own spacecraft into the space.
Travelling to space is expensive for NASA, but Mathew and Asad worked hard to keep their costs down. They bought much of their equipment used and even sewed the Lego man’s parachute by hand. In total, the project cost only$400.
“We had a lot of anxiety on launch day because there were high winds when we were going up,”Mathew told reporters. They had to pump extra helium(氦）into the balloon so that it would rise quickly and avoid being blown too far off course by the strong winds.
The toy astronaut’s journey lasted 97 minutes before the balloon broke and he fell back to Earth. Mathew and Asad then spent two weekends looking for their spacecraft. It had landed 76miles away from the launch site.
The student scientists are currently finishing up their final year of high school and applying for colleges. They are also looking into more do-it-yourself space projects.
“I guess the sky is not really the limit anymore,” Mathew told reporters. “We never knew we’d get this far. It’s been a lesson for us that hard work pays off.”
1.By saying “took the world by storm” in the first paragraph, the writer meant the experiment______________.
A.destroyed the world
B.flooded the world
C.fascinated the world
D.managed the world
2.Which of the following about the students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is right?
A.They were examples for Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad.
B.They helped Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad to achieve dream.
C.They launched weather balloon together with Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad.
D.They studied with Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad in the same school.
3.How did Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad keep their costs down?
A.By sewing the weather balloon themselves.
B.By borrowing spacecraft from the MIT students.
C.By making their spacecraft by hand
D.By using second-hand equipment
4.What problems did Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad have on launch day?
A.They ran out of helium
B. The wind was too strong
C.The balloon suddenly broke
D.Their spacecraft was blown away.
B
Being forgiving to yourself and others can protect against stress and the harm it does to mental health, according to a new study in the Journal of Health Psychology．
Researchers looked at the effects of lifetime stress on a person’s mental health，and how more forgiving people got along compared with people who weren’t so forgiving．To do this, they asked 148 young adults to fill out questionnaires that assessed their levels of lifetime stress，their tendency to forgive and their mental and physical health．
No surprise，people with greater exposure to stress had worse mental and physical health．But the researchers also discovered that if people were highly forgiving of both themselves and others,that characteristic alone almost removed the connection between stress and mental illness．
“It’s almost entirely erased—it’s zero,”says study author Toussaint.“If you don’t have forgiving tendencies，you feel the immediate effects of stress in a severe way．You don’t have anything to cushion you against that stress．”
How a forgiving personality protects a person from the influence of severe stress is hard to determine．The researchers infer that people who are more forgiving may adopt better skills to deal with stress，or their reaction to major stressors(压力源)may be slow．
Though more research is needed to fully understand the benefits of being more forgiving，Toussaint believes“100％”that forgiveness can be learned．His own previous research has shown that saying a short prayer on forgiveness can help people take the edge off. “I think most people want to feel good and forgiveness offers you the opportunity to do that，”he says．
5.The researchers got the effect of forgiving by_____．
A.analyzing questionnaires B.doing scientific experiment
C.writing research papers D.communicating with 148 adults
6.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Forgiving tendencies can deal with all mental problems．
B.It remains unknown why forgiveness helps to reduce stress．
C.Toussaint’s study has fully discovered the benefits of being forgiving．
D.Saying a short prayer on forgiveness is the key to getting rid of stress．
7.What does the underlined phrase “take the edge off’ in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Look ahead． B.Become relaxed．
C.Make up their mind． D.Stick to their goals．
8.What may be the best title for the passage?
A.A new study on physical health
B.Forgiving yourself makes you feel good
C.Forgiveness is good for mental health
D.Getting rid of stress is good for your health
C
When you live in total messiness—cookies in your pants draws,and some old New Yorkers or apple seeds in your bed—it's hard to know where to look for when you lose your keys.The other day, after two weeks of searching,I found my keys in the refrigerator.I can't say I was surprised.But I was surprised when I was diagnosed with ADHD（多动症）,when I was a junior at Yale.
According to a new study, 11% of school-age children have received an ADHD diagnosis, a 16% increase since 2007.And rising diagnoses mean rising treatments—drugs like Adderall are more accessible than ever.However,the consequences of misuse and abuse of these drugs are dangerous.
Yet also harmful are the consequences of ADHD undiagnosed,an all-too-common story for women like me,who have symptoms,like disorganization and forgetfulness,which look different from those typically expressed in males.
Dr.Ellen,author of Understanding Girls with ADHD,has found around 4 million females with ADHD are not diagnosed. "The main reason is that the diagnostic criteria were developed based on those hyperactive（过度活跃）young boys taken to clinics,making it difficult for girls to be diagnosed unless they behave like hyperactive boys." Ellen says.
Besides,the idea that young women actually have ADHD often causes skepticism.As a top student,I didn't believe my diagnosis at first.My friends were also confused,and rather certain my doctor was misguided.
"Often,if girls are smart or in supportive homes,symptoms are masked," Dr.Ellen says."Girls will hide their inability to meet social expectations.They see their trouble organizing,and concentrating as character flaws（缺陷）."
These years,I am both embarrassed and exhausted by my struggles to keep track of objects,but drug has helped it and made it more bearable.
9.The writer presents the first paragraph to .
A.air her view with an example B.bring up the topic of the passage
C.show young people's messiness D.prove Yale also has ADHD students
10.Many female with ADHD are not diagnosed mainly because .
A.the diagnostic criteria are made according to male ADHD
B.they are smart enough to mask their ADHD symptoms
C.they don't view their trouble as symptoms of ADHD
D.women ADHD are more hyperactive than young boys
11.What does the word "skepticism" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.panic. B.stubbornness. C.debate. D.doubt.
12.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Why female ADHD patients develop the disease.
B.Why many female ADHD patients are undiagnosed.
C.How young ADHD patients are cured of the disease.
D.How much help ADHD patients can get from medication.
D
Alison Malmon was trapping up (完成) the end of her freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania, US when she got the news: Her older brother Brian, a student at Columbia University, was suffering from mental illness.
    Inspired by this, Malmon formed a group at her university to empower (使能够) students to talk openly about mental health. It soon blossomed into a national organization that today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that today's young people face.
    “What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,”said Malmon, “and a need to present oneself as perfect.”
    And a new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of today’s society. In the study, two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They found that what they called“socially prescribed(社会定向型的) perfectionism” increased by a third between 1989 and 2016.
    Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of today's young people try to present a perfect appearance online, social media isn’t the only reason behind this trend.  Instead, he said, it may be driven by competition in modern society, meaning young people can't avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That comes from new norms(准则) like greater numbers of college students, standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education.
    For example, in 1976, half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008, more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children, they in turn pass their “achievement anxieties" onto their kids through “excessive(过多的) involvement in their child’s routines, activities or emotions”    
    Those in the mental health community like Malmon say they’re concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. “Mental health has truly become this generation's social justice issue,”she said.“It's our job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that it's not their fault.”
13.What is the article mainly about?
A.The effects of the culture of perfectionism.
B.Research into the trend of perfectionism.
C.A group dedicated to helping people stay mentally healthy.
D.Various pressures that today's young people are facing.
14.What inspired Alison Malmon to start a group related to mental health?
A.Her brother’s mental illness.
B.Her project during the freshman year.
C.The pressure she had experienced.
D. Her strong interest in mental health.
15.What does Malmon think is a way to help young people manage the pressure of perfectionism?
A.Enabling them to know what is to blame for their pressure.
B.Lowering their expectations of themselves.
C.Reducing parents involvement in their children’s life.
D.Making them aware of what true social justice is.
第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）
Does failure really exist?
If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. 16 The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.
17
Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don’t do that! 18 Never quit, never admit failure , and never lose heart.
Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.
It’s a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control. 19 If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.
Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.
Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. 20 You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.
A. Never give up on yourself.
B. Failure only exists in your own mind!
C. That’s exactly how failure makes us feel.
D. It simply means you have not done enough yet
E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.
F. Instead, make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!
G.Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.
