B After Walter Elias Disney finished his volunteer service at the Red Cross,his brother,Roy,got him a job at the Pesmen-Rubin Art Studio,where he met his lifelong friend Ub Iwerks.Disney and Ub Iwerks soon set up their own company,but hardly made enough money to get by.The business went into failure in just one month.Then due to a variety of reasons,Disney's second business failed again.He had nowhere to live,a little money for food. These didn't discourage Disney.At 22,he went to Hollywood.There he started Disney Brothers Studio with his brother Roy and came up with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit which was well received. However,the copyright to his own characters was stolen.Disney knew he extremely needed a new idea. Then the idea of a mouse called Mortimer came to his mind.The name eventually changed to Mickey Mouse thanks to the insistence of his wife. However,the first two Mickey Mouse Series-Plane Crazy and Gallopin Gaucho-didn't attract lots of audiences.But Disney never gave up.He added synchronized sound and created a third short 高三收网考英语试卷第3页（共8页） film Steamboat Willie,which became an instant hit. In 1934,Disney started to work on another new idea:a cartoon that ran the length of a long film. Everyone said it was a bad idea.The banker told him he would be risking everything he had on this one film but Disney believed in his vision.The film took 3 long years to make and cost around $25 million. His effort paid off.Once Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was released,it was viewed as a masterpiece.The film became the most successful one of that year.He earned $134 million. 24.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us about Disney? A.His experience at the Red Cross. B.The early life with his brother. C.His failure of starting businesses. D.The friendship with his partner. 25.What can we learn about Disney's creations? A.Mickey Mouse didn't succeed at the start. B.The idea of mouse Mortimer wasn't a new one. C.Oswald the Lucky Rabbit won a famous award. D.Steamboat Willie was actually a silent short film. 26.Why is the film's cost mentioned in paragraph 4? A.To prove people at that time lived a rich life. B To explain the film industry was very profitable. C.To tell film makers should follow Disney's steps. D.To show Disney put much effort into the film. 27.What does Walter Elias Disney's success show? A.A friend in need is a friend indeed. B.Opportunities come to those who are prepared. C Time flies like an arrow and time lost never returns. D.Great works are performed not by strength,but determination. C Playing tennis might add years to your life,according to a new study of Danish men and women.The study found that adults who frequently participate in tennis or other racket()and team sports lived longer than people who were spending a lot of time sitting down.They also lived longer than people who took part in activities such as jogging,swimming and cycling.The results raise interesting questions about the role that social interactions might play in enlarging the benefits of exercise. No one doubts that being physically active improves our health and can extend our longevity( )But whether some activities might be better than others remains in argument.One widely publicized 2017 study of more than 80,000 British men and women found that those who played racket sports like tennis tended to outlive those who jogged. The researchers widened their inquiry and looked at a variety of sports and their associations with life.To start,they turned to the same data resource they had used for the jogging study,the Copenhagen City Heart Study.The study's participants had all completed health exams and lengthy questionnaires about their lifestyles and whether and how often they took part in some sports common in Denmark, including cycling,swimming,running,tennis,soccer and,perhaps unexpectedly,badminton. According to the data,cycling added an average of 3.7 years to riders'lives,compared to Danish people who were sedentarv.Running added 3.2 years while tennis 9.7 years.These associations remained unchanged even when the researchers controlled for people's education,socioeconomic status and age. "Why and how some sports might add more years to people's lives than others is impossible to know from this kind of observational study,"says Dr.James O'Keefe,a study co-author."But we know that social support probably has unique effects on helping people get more benefits from the exercise." 高三收网考英语试卷第4页（共8页） For now,people who run or ride alone might consider finding a group or partner to work out together. "Raising your heart rate is important for health,he says."But it looks like connecting with other people is,too." 28 According to the passage,which activity may help people live longer? A.Cycling. B Running marathon. C Swimming. D.Playing badminton. 29.What does the underlined word "sedentary"in the fourth paragraph mean? A.Inactive.B.Outgoing.C.Depressed.D.Easygoing 30.Which may Dr.James O'Keefe recommend according to the last paragraph? A.Exercising alone. B.Working out together. C.Working out regularly. D.Raising one's heart rate 31.It is suggested in the passage that A women who prefer team sports live longer than men B.80,000 Danish men and women participated in the survey C.people's education and socioeconomic status affect their longevity D.the reason why some sports might extend our longevity more is still unknown D Imagine you need milk,so you go to the grocery store to pick some up,only to find there are dozens of options.These days,you have to make a decision on not only the percentage of fat you want,but also what source you want your milk to be coming from:cows,soybeans...You have no idea what milk to pick.There are so many choices that you are confused. This phenomenon is known as the paradox (of choice and it is becoming a concern in the modern world,where more and more options are becoming easily available to us.While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with,and thus increases consumer satisfaction,having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice. The idea was popularized by American psychologist Barry Schwartz when he published his book, The Paradox of Choice:Why More Is Less.Schwartz,who has long studied the ways in which economics and psychology intersect ()became interested in seeing the way that choices were affecting the happiness of citizens in Westemn societies.He identified that the range of choices that we have available to us these days is far greater than that people had in the past;however,consumer satisfaction has not increased as much as traditional economics theeries might expeet. Schwartz identified that the paradox of choice carries the most consequence for people that are maximizers.Maximizers,unlike satisficers,are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with.When there are many options available to maximizers,it becomes harder for them to determine which is the best,which can cause them to feel a great deal of regret after they have made a choice. Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited,Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society. 32 What's the author's purpose in mentioning buying milk in paragraph 1? A.To lead in the topic. B.To draw a conclusion. C.To show we have more choices when shopping. D.To indicate people focus more on health when shopping. 高三收网考英语试卷第5页（共8页） 33.What does the paradex of choice suggest? A.More options mean less satisfaction. B.People are happy with more choices. C.Consumer satisfaction has greatly increased. D.Modern people are happier than their ancestors. 34.What can be learned about satisficers? A.They aim for the very best. B.They tend to follow their feelings. C.They often regret their decisions. D.They have trouble making a decision. 35.What does Schwartz suggest people do? A.Hold on to their beliefs. B.Accept their own behavior. C.Give up freedom. D.Limit their own choices. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 At the start of your career,it can feel like a Catech-22 situation:You can't get hired without experience,but you can't get experience without being hired.36 Luck certainly plays a part and personal connections can be hugely valuable,but what else can you do? Target realistic roles.If you don't have relevant experience in your chosen field.you'll have to apply for roles right at the bottom of the ladder and work your way up37They can both be character building and a great way to develop a knowledge of the role.That wil give you a head start as you work your way up through the organization. Emphasize the skills you do have.Don't get hung up on the experience you don't have. 38 Soft skills such as communication,and tearn working are highly valued by all sorts of employers.If you lack experience in your chosen field,then it's important to acknowledge that,but use it as an opportunity to demonstrate your passion for the role and your motivation to learn. 39 Some industries are so competitive that,even to get an entry-level position,you might have to consider working for free.Volunteering and internships (are excellent opportunities to gain first-hand knowledge of a job and build useful contacts that could lead to a paid position. Stay busy and resilient(有韧性的).Tying to find a job with little or no experience isn't easy,.and yet it's something everyone has gone through.40However,by volunteering,participating in community activities,being social and getting out in the world,opportunities will present themselves and you will find the right role for you. A.Look for work experience. B.Seek jobs with no experience needed. C.How does an employer decide on whom to interview? D.So,what is the key to getting jobs with no experience? E.It's all too easy to take the rejection personally and quit. F,There's certainly no shame in targeting entry-level and junior roles. G.Instead,focus your application on the skills that make you a great fit for the role. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 高三收网考英语试卷第6页（共8页） One day,I had a serious quarrel with my father.I felt he was always trying to41me and I wanted to break free.After we exploded in 42,I stormed out of the house and went back to school.
