2023届内蒙古呼伦贝尔市高三二模英语试题

学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________

一、阅读理解

Here are several places which will surprise you.

Death Valley, California, USA

Very lively at night but completely dead during the day, this place is nothing but dry hot desert. It actually holds the record for the hottest air temperature. It has an average temperature of 46℃ but it has reached 56.7℃ in 1913 and is considered to be a current record. As the driest place in the USA, this place is actually inhabited even though less than a thousand people live there.

Kebili, Tunisia

Tunisia’s close location to the Mediterranean Sea suggests that it should be nice and cool but Kebili is a desert town which has the highest temperature recorded at 55℃. The people inhabiting the area have adjusted to tough conditions and learned to spend most of their time in the shade. Date palms are one of the key features of this place.

Wādī Halfā, Sudan

The city is located on the shores of Lake Nubia, and dust storms are a pretty common thing in the summer. With an average temperature of 41℃, it still managed to make it to 53℃ in 1967. You would think that it should be a little bit cooler for it is the most northern place in Sudan.

Dasht-e Lut Desert, Iran

It’s another uninhabited desert which is actually getting super hot. In the past 20 years, the temperatures of 70℃ have been recorded. The salt desert spreads over 200 miles and even wildlife is not that spread. The place is popular with tourists and naturalists who would like to experience extreme landscapes.

Instead of getting the latest video game system or meeting a celebrity, a young boy who was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness last year has used his Make-A-Wish opportunity to help the homeless in his community.

Abraham and his mother, Miriam, have a passion for taking care of the homeless around their neighborhood in Jackson, Mississippi. The pair have a history of providing food to the needy every third Saturday, and they recently got added help from the Make-A-Wish foundation in Mississippi after he was diagnosed with a rare disease, aplastic anemia, in 2020.

The condition causes the body to stop producing enough new blood cells, leaving patients exhausted and easier to suffer infection and uncontrolled bleeding. Abraham later experienced a successful bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and found out he was qualified to have one of his dreams fulfilled by Make-A-Wish. It didn’t take long for Abraham to think of the perfect choice. He would continue the mission that was important to him and his mom. With the help of the foundation, Abraham fed about 80 people in Jackson in September.

When the homeless people got the plate, some of them would come back and sing to them and thank them. “And it just really feels good; it warms our hearts. And my parents always taught me that it’s a blessing to be a blessing,” Abraham said.

Not only that, but Make-A-Wish said they would help Abraham feed the homeless in Jackson every third Saturday until August 2022, ensuring that he could help even more people in need.

Abraham did receive a few gifts from Make-A-Wish, including a new laptop, a ring light, and a microphone to help him start a channel on a social media platform. He also plans to start a non-profit called “Abraham’s Table” to continue his mission.

4．How often do Abraham and his mom offer food to those in need?

A．At least once a day. B．At least once a week.

C．At least once a year. D．At least once a month.

5．What can we infer about Abraham from paragraph 3?

A．He is doing what he wants to. B．He has been completely cured.

C．He decided to support his family. D．He got a mission from an organization.

6．What does Abraham mean to do?

A．Send more Make-A-Wish cards. B．Start a public welfare program.

C．Join a non-profit organization. D．Feed the homeless every Saturday.

7．Which of the following can best describe Abraham?

A．Determined and patient. B．Ambitious and creative.

C．Imaginative and practical. D．Caring and considerate.

Can people who understand the emotions of others better interpret emotions conveyed through music? A new study by an international team of researchers suggests the abilities are linked.

The study’s results provide a foundation for future research that could test the impact of socially engaged music listening on social cognitive ability, and whether listening to music can be added to therapeutic (治疗的) techniques used in social skills training for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (孤独症谱系障碍).

The findings were published recently in a scientific journal of the American Psychological Association. The study was led by Benjamin A．Tabak, assistant professor of psychology. “Empathy (共情) is most often thought of in the context of social interactions, but there are many other forms of social communication, including music,” Tabak said. “Music can convey meaning and emotion and also bring emotional responses, but what is responsible for its emotional power is poorly understood.”

Tabak and his colleagues wanted to test their theory about empathy and music. For the purposes of this study, they measured the ability to correctly understand others’ thoughts and feelings — empathic accuracy — and the extent to which one feels the emotions that another feels.

“We thought it would be interesting to study whether people who more accurately under-stand others’ thoughts and feelings might also be more accurate in understanding what musicians are intending to convey through music,” Tabak said. “Similarly, we wanted to know whether people who tend to feel the emotions that others are experiencing also tend to feel the emotions conveyed through music.”

The initial set of findings found support for both hypotheses. In particular, the results suggest that empathic accuracy as a skill extends beyond interpersonal interactions into music. Tabak believes that the study provides tentative support for the theory that music is first and foremost a social behavior that gradually develops to help individuals connect with others and better understand and manage their social environment.

8．What can the study result be used to do?

A．Be the basis for the next study. B．Apply music to social skills training.

C．Decide the music suitable for autism. D．Test the impact of music on emotions.

9．About the link between music and emotions, what needs further understanding?

A．The effect of music. B．The academic support.

C．The function of music. D．The emotions music expresses.

10．What is Tabak’s attitude towards the study?

A．Ignorant. B．Doubtful. C．Confident. D．Pessimistic.

11．Which can be the best title for the text?

A．The Social Behavior Music Reflects

B．The Ability To Accurately Understand Empathy

C．Research Will Set Foundation For Further Research

D．Research Shows The Role Empathy May Play In Music

Cambodia recorded 792 rare white-shouldered ibises (白肩黑鹮) in its 2022 census (统计), an increase of 5 percent from 755 birds in a year earlier, conservationists said on Thursday.

Bou Vorsak, director of BirdLife in Cambodia, said the census, jointly conducted by the members of the Cambodian Ibis Working Group (CIWG), found 377 white-shouldered ibises at Siem Pang Wildlife Sanctuary, 326 at the Mekong Flooded Forest, and 89 at Koh Srolauv, Kulen Promtep, Lomphat, Srepok and Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuaries. “The white-shouldered ibis is one of the rarest birds in the world, with the global population of approximately 1,000 birds,” he told the journalist. “Cambodia is the largest habitat for this critically endangered species, accounting for nearly 80 percent of the global population.”

Vorsak said BirdLife in Cambodia is delighted to support this species working group to develop and implement the Cambodian ibis conservation action plan to protect the critically endangered birds from extinction.

Neth Pheaktra, secretary of state and spokesman for the Ministry of Environment, said the government thanked all conservation partners for their efforts to protect and conserve natural resources and wildlife, including white-shouldered ibises.

“The Ministry of Environment and non-governmental organization (NGO) partners will continue their efforts to provide safe habitats to wildlife through law enforcement (执行), local economic supporting, and other education campaigns to change public behavior,” he said. “The Ministry of Environment will continue to educate people to stop trapping, hunting, eating and trading wildlife.”

World Wide Fund (WWF) Cambodia country director Seng Teak congratulates the rising number of white-shouldered ibis population trends in Cambodia. “It is a positive result for the conservation and protection of the species. We stand ready to collaborate on the joint conservation action efforts to thrive for stronger survival of this rare species,” he said.

12．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

B．The population of ibises has dropped by 5 percent.

C．The population of the white-shouldered ibis is small.

A．Making policy to protect them.

B．Educating people not to do harm to them.

C．Forcing people to spare fields for wildlife.

D．Giving local residents economic supporting.
