莎车县第一中学2022-2023学年高三上学期11月月考英语试题第一部分 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）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。A“Belittle” was first used by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States.Many years ago, Buffon, a French naturalist, wrote some books about natural history. The books were a great success even though some critics did not like them. Some critics said, “Buffon is more of a poet than a scientist.”Thomas Jefferson did not like what Buffon had said about the natural wonders of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant.This troubled Thomas Jefferson. He was a naturalist, as well as a farmer, inventor, historian, writer and politician. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Buffon. At that moment, Jefferson created a new word-belittle. He said. “Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in his English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittle-to make somebody or something small, unimportant.”Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it. In 1797, the Independent Chronicle newspaper used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “He is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.”In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “‘Belittle’ has no chance of becoming English. And as more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it, the sooner it is forgotten, the better.” This expert failed to kill the word. Today, “belittle” is used where the English language is spoken.1．What was the reason for Jefferson’s creating the new word?A．He was a naturalist and writer.B．Lots of critics disliked Buffon’s books.C．Lots of critics thought Buffon wasn't a real naturalist.D．He disagreed with Buffon’s views on natural wonders in America.2．What do we know about Buffon according to the text?A．Some of his poems were known to Jefferson.B．Some of his books were welcome by readers.C．He made some wrong comments on Jefferson.D．He made great contributions to the creation of “belittle”.3．What does the underlined word “those” in the last paragraph refer to?A．The critical writers.B．The English words.C．The word experts.D．The English-speaking countries.4．What may be the best title for the text?A．The comment on the New WorldB．The creation of Thomas JeffersonC．The history of the word “belittle”D．The argument about the new wordBMy name is Jack. When my family moved to America, we brought not only our luggage, but also our rules, customs and culture in China. One of the rules is that young people should always respect the elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment(尴尬) in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One day, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, she looked very unhappy. My manager gave me a long lecture about how Americans dislike the word “old”. I then walked back and apologized to the lady.In my hometown in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, “old” means that a person is going to retire(退休). Here many people try to keep themselves from growing old by doing exercises. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.5．Why did Jack serve the couple their food very fast?A．He wanted more pay. B．He respected the elderly.C．He was asked to do so. D．He was a hard-working waiter.6．What do we know about Jack’s hometown from the passage?A．People there are proud of being old.B．People there dislike being called “old”.C．No people there reach the age of seventy or eighty.D．Young people there show little respect to the older.7．What did Jack do after this experience?A．He made friends with the couple. B．He lost his job in the restaurant.C．He no longer respected the elderly. D．He changed his way with older people.8．We can know from the passage that _________.A．the couple disliked fast service at all.B．the manager apologized to the couple.C．Jack wanted to show his feelings through words.D．Jack knew more about American culture than before.C Shining just 12 light-years from Earth, the star Tau Ceti so resembles the sun that it has appeared in numerous science- fiction stories and was the first star astronomers ever searched for signs of intelligent life, half a century ago. In 2012 Tau Ceti grew still more interesting when astronomers reported five possible planets somewhat larger than Earth circling closer to the star than Mars orbits (围绕……运动) the sun—one of which is in the star’s habitable zone. Newly released images taken by the Herschel Space Observatory provide even more insight about Tau Ceti’s solar system: greater detail about its dust belt.Dust arises when asteroids and comets (小行星和彗星) crash into one another, so its location reveals where these dust- creating objects—which are too small to be seen directly—orbit a star. In Tau Ceti’s case, “it’s quite a wide dust belt,” says Samantha Lawler of the University of Victoria in British Columbia. As her team reported in November, the belt’s inner edge is roughly two to three astronomical units (AUs) from the star, which is the position of our own sun’s asteroid belt. (An AU is the distance from Earth to the sun.) Tau Ceti’s dust belt extends out to 55 AU, which would be just beyond our system’s main Edgeworth-Kuiper belt, the zone of small bodies whose largest member is probably Pluto. Presumably full of asteroids and comets, Tau Ceti’s dust belt most likely lacks a planet as large as Jupiter, Lawler says. The gravity of such a massive planet would have driven away most small space rocks.Within a year a new series of radio telescopes in Chile called ALMA should provide a sharper view of the disk, especially of its inner edge. The ALMA images will help astronomers confirm whether the star’s five proposed planets are indeed real. If the disk overlaps the planets’ hypothesized (假设的) orbits, then they probably do not exist; they would have kept away most asteroids near the star, removing the source of dust.If those planets do exist, however, Lawler’s team suggests that Tau Ceti’s planetary system may resemble what our solar system would have looked like had the four giant planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune- never formed: small planets orbiting close to the star, and nothing but asteroids, comets and dust beyond.9．According to astronomers, the five possible planets of Tau Ceti________.A．resembled Earth in sizeB．functioned like a solar systemC．were located in Tau Ceti’s habitable zoneD．were nearer to Tau Ceti than Mars to the sun10．Which of the following is true of Tau Ceti’s dust belt?A．It is narrower than the asteroid belt in our system.B．The bodies inside it are all smaller than Jupiter.C．The gravity of Tau Ceti makes it get denser.D．It is over 55 astronomical units in width.11．According to the passage, the five planets are most likely to exist if________.A．they don’t move into the dust belt while orbiting Tau CetiB．they have kept away most asteroids and cometsC．they don’t crash into any asteroid or cometD．they can be seen clearly by ALMA12．It can be inferred from the passage that Tau Ceti’s dust belt________.A．is useful because it stops asteroids or comets crashing into the starB．makes Tau Ceti different from the sun because it extends fartherC．is interesting because it keeps other planets away from Tau CetiD．plays a role in helping decide whether the five planets are realDWood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable, easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list. Lead researcher Dr.Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices. The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin (木质素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer (聚合物) and baked at a temperature of 158°F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips, the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications.The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency. Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.13．What does the underlined part “that feature” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．Cheap. B．Durable. C．Sustainable. D．Transparent.14．Which of the following is true according to the text?A．Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.B．Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood’s hardness.C．The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.D．The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.15．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The bright future of the transparent wood.B．The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C．The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D．Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The attraction of television is undeniable when it comes to kids.____16____ Here are guidelines we created to help us decide what’s appropriate for our family:Monitor television time. Choosing good shows isn’t a big issue if you’re not watching a lot of television, so really the best solution to finding appropriate television is saying, “Go play.”____17____Don’t trust network ratings. A kid-approved stamp given by a television network is a general guide that doesn’t take into account your parenting style and the things your family feels are important. ____18____There are plenty of adult cartoon shows on television now, many with highly inappropriate topics.____19____ The bottom line is, I want to know what my kids are watching, and if the TV is on my time in our home, I want to first approve of the show ahead of time, and second to watch it with my kids so that I’m aware of anything they might be seeing that needs intervention(干涉).Talk about the show with your kids. As kids get older, we realize that we can’t shelter them from every single person/show/behavior that doesn’t fit exactly with our values. They’re going to hear a swear word from time to time—and might walk into the room while the characters in the romantic comedy we’re watching are kissing.____20____A．If it doesn’t feel good, turn it off. B．And be aware of cartoons! C．We can talk about what we see, though, using story-lines to teach lessons when possible. D．The standard for what our kids can watch might be difficult to set. E．But how do you choose which shows are appropriate for the younger set? F．Watch TV with them. G．Still, a little bit of television doesn’t hurt and can be fun. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。I was so blessed for all the special moments I had with my old mother.

Aimed at enriching us students’ campus life and promoting our awareness of innovation, the Festival included a variety of activities, the most popular of which was “Makers on Campus”, where participants could design their own products and illustrate their ideas. Additionally, an exhibition of the students’ original inventions, designs and literary works was also a highlight of this Festival. With the enthusiastic participation and support of all the students, the whole process turned out to be a great success. I was totally amazed at the creativity and team spirit showed by my schoolmates. I do hope more activities will take place in my school to provide us with chances to practice our critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. What do you think of it? Expecting your early reply.
