The Sahara Festival is a festival which ______ ． A. has a very long history in North Africa B. is not celebrated on the same dates each year C. is attended mainly by the people in the Sahara D. is celebrated only by travelers from different countries 2. The underlined word "finale" in the third paragraph most probably means the ______ of the opening day． A. first part B. last part C. middle D. whole 3. This passage mainly tells readers ______ ． A. what happens on the opening day of the Sahara Festival B. how people celebrate during the three-day Sahara Festival C. what takes place at the closing ceremonies of the Sahara Festival D. how animals race on the first and the last days of the Sahara Festival B My father loves his garden. He planted some seeds in it. But at that time, I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much. Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while. My mother had several business trips, so she couldn’t take care of the garden. I didn’t want my father to worry, so I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often, so I didn’t think much about the garden. One Saturday morning, my father said to me, “Christine, the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let’s have a salad today!” I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs. There were hundreds of bugs all over them! I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest store to buy some vegetables. When I gave the salad to him, he said, “Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! I can’t believe the carrots are this big already. You must be taking very good care of my garden.” I felt a little bit guilty. Coming home, my mother saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen. I was embarrassed, and I admitted Dad wanted a salad but the garden was a disaster. I didn’t want to disappoint him so I went to the store. She laughed but promised to help me in the garden and weeks later I was finally able to pick some vegetables. I carefully made a salad and took it to my father. He looked at it with a hint of a smile, “Christine, the carrots are smaller in this salad, but they taste better.” Now, I better understand how putting a lot of effort into caring for something can help you appreciate the results more, however small they may be. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for my father’s love of gardening. 4. Why did Christine originally promise she would do the gardening? A. She was asked by her father to do it. B. She was interested in growing vegetables. C. She knew it was important to her father. D. She wanted to improve her gardening skills. 5. Which of the following was a problem in the garden? A. Insects destroyed the lettuce and carrots. B. Animals often dug holes in the garden. C. The plants were given too much water. D. The vegetables were marked incorrectly. 6. Why could Christine secretly use the store-bought vegetables to make the salad? A. Her mother helped her to buy the vegetables. B. Her mother regularly helped her to make a salad. C. Her father couldn’t see the progress of the vegetables in his garden. D. Her father went on a business trip at that time. 7. What did Christine learn from her experience of gardening? A. Always get ready for a rainy day. B. Don’t be disappointed by bugs. C. Working alone produces results. D. Hard work can often be rewarding. C A team of scientists says that playing sounds underwater can get fish to return to areas with severely damaged coral reefs(珊瑚礁).In an experiment, they found fish returned after hearing recordings of the sounds like a healthy ocean reef. The research results were reported in Nature Communications. The scientists placed underwater speakers in areas where coral had been dying in Australia’s northern Great Barrier Reef. They played the sounds over a period of about six weeks in 2017 and studied the results. The team reported that twice as many fish arrived in the areas where the sounds of healthy coral were played. The sounds also led to a 50 percent increase in the number of species present in the area, the researchers found. The researchers noted the importance of having many different kinds of fish return to the area. Different species of fish perform many activities that support the ocean environment and sea life. Steve Simpson is a professor at the University of Exeter who helped lead the research. He explained, “Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places. They contain the sounds of many kinds of shrimp, fish and other sea creatures. Young fish listen to these sounds when they are looking for a place to settle. Reefs become extremely quiet when they suffer destruction that is usually related to human-caused pollution. Coral damage can drive shrimp and fish away. But the experiment suggested that the use of underwater loudspeakers was an effective way to get young fish to come back.” Mark Meekan is a fish biologist. He said that the return of the fish is the first step towards seeing major improvements in reef health. “Recovery is underpinned (巩固) by fish that clean the reef and create space for corals to regrow,” he said. University of Bristol professor, Andy Radford, said the underwater sounds are a promising way to fight coral reef damage at the local community level. But he noted that other threats need to be reduced as well. These include climate change, pollution and over fishing. 8 Why can underwater speakers make fish return? A. Because the fish prefer music around their habitats. B. Because they play sounds as a healthy reef does. C. Because the fish know the places with them become better. D. Because they can drive the natural enemies of fishes away. 9. What effect do different kinds of fish have on the ocean according to the text? A. Keeping the ocean’s ecological balance. B. Removing the remarkable noises. C. Preventing the pollution caused by human. D. Driving dangerous creatures away. 10. How does the author prove the significance of this new finding? A. By quoting different authorities’ words. B. By comparing the result with another study’s. C. By offering many statistics. D. By showing the detailed process of experiments. 11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A Education. B. Entertainment. C. Environment. D. Economy. D The coolest thing about the new “Futures” exhibit at the Smithsonian’s Arts and Industries Building isn’t the fact that you walk on fossils or play Minecraft with your eyeballs. The clue starts with the name, particularly the last letter: The future is plural(复数的). “The future is not a fact but a series of decisions we make every day,” said Monica Montgomery, the founder of the museum. “And everyone has the power to shape it.” “Futures” marks the temporary(临时) reopening of the building. It is the Smithsonian’s second-oldest building and the one considered the first national museum in the USA, says Allison Peck, director of external affairs. The Arts and Industries Building, which opened in 1881, firstly came up with the idea that museums are for circulating knowledge to the public, not just storehouses for private collectors or centers for research, Peck said. Many Smithsonian treasures first appeared in the building, such as an early Thomas Edison lightbulb. “Futures”, part of the Smithsonian’s 175th anniversary celebration, has more than 150 objects and ideas that combine technology, art, design and history. The exhibit employs highly descriptive labels and spreads across four halls with themes: Futures Past, Futures That Inspire, Futures That Unite, and Futures That Work. You can communicate with the exhibits by gesturing with your hands or moving your eyes. In the rotunda(圆形大厅), artist Suchi Reddy’s “me + you” invites you to describe your vision of the future, and then translates your words into colors that can dance on its central column. Look closely at Nettrice Gaskins’s portraits, created with artificial intelligence, and a city street map for Floyd McKissick. McKissick was the founder of Soul City, North Carolina, in the 1970s as an ideal place for black people to live. The exhibit highlights futuristic project that is ongoing: Where will we live? 12. What does the name of the exhibit indicate? A. Everyone can be involved in creating the future. B. The exhibit is for a celebration. C. Everyone’s future is unchangeable. D. The exhibit is organized by the public. 13. What do we know about the Arts and Industries Building? A. It was built by private collectors. B. It pioneered the idea of spreading knowledge. C. It is the place where Edison once worked. D. It is the largest national museum in the USA. 14. What can visitors do at the exhibit? A. Interact with exhibits using their body language. B. Translate their words into colors. C. Make a map of their cities. D. Paint a portrait with artificial intelligence. 15. Where is the passage most probably taken from? A. A textbook. B. A science fiction. C. A popular magazine. D. A travel journal. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Body language is a form of communication and it plays an important role in our everyday life. ___16___.

His parents, teachers, and many others, said he didn’t know how to lose, but the truth of it was that he couldn’t stand losing, not even at marbles (弹珠游戏). He felt so good, when he won, that he never wanted to give up that feeling; not for anything in the world. On top of that, losing made him feel precisely the opposite. It seemed to Pete that losing was the worst thing that could happen to anyone. If there was a game Pete wasn’t brilliant at, he simply wouldn’t play it. But if he was going to win he would take part, even if the game lasted only a minute. And the kind of things he was really good at, like table football, you could hardly stop him playing. A new kid named Albert started at Pete’s school. For several days Pete watched the new guy. He was great at some things, terrible at others — to an embarrassing degree — but he enjoyed everything equally. Pete saw Albert playing basketball once. He was absolutely hopeless; he lost time after time. But that happy smile never left Albert’s face. Albert was an especially good table football player, and it didn’t take Pete and Albert long before they challenged each other to a game.  Pete prepared for the match with great seriousness. He was concentrated and intense (紧张的) . Albert, on the other hand, seemed not to be taking the thing at all seriously. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On that day, Pete’s great victory (胜利) was on everyone’s lips. But, that night, Pete didn’t feel so happy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 自贡一中高三10月考英语试题 本试卷共150分。考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 1.

B 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了"撒哈拉节"开幕式上的活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“which takes place every year either in November or December．”可知，"撒哈拉节"在每年的11月或12月举行，每年都不是在同一天举行的，故B项正确。 【2题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的介绍和该句中的"Towards the evening"可知，接近傍晚，开幕式的活动即将结束，由此可知画线词词义为“最后部分”，故B项正确。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，特别是第二段第一句话中"During the opening ceremonies"可知，本文主要是介绍"撒哈拉节"开幕式上的活动，故A项正确。 【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，对常识的掌握和画线词上下文的理解是关键，例如本篇第2题，根据画线词前面对活动的介绍和该句中的"Towards the evening"，再结合常识可知，开幕式晚上举行的比赛是一天当中最后的节目，也是最大的看点，此处是说接近傍晚，开幕式的活动即将结束，由此可知画线词词义为“最后部分”。 B My father loves his garden. He planted some seeds in it. But at that time, I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much. Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident.

Always get ready for a rainy day. B. Don’t be disappointed by bugs. C. Working alone produces results. D. Hard work can often be rewarding. 【答案】4 C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己帮助生病的父亲照顾菜园的故事告诉我们：为在乎的事情付出努力可以让你更加欣赏最后的成果，无论成果是多么微不足道。 【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much(我不明白为什么在泥地里工作让他那么兴奋。)”和第二段中的“I didn’t want my father to worry, so I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered.(我不想让父亲担心，所以我说我会照顾他的花园，直到他康复。)”可知，作者答应父亲照顾菜园是因为作者知道菜园对父亲很重要，她不想让父亲担心。故选C项。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs. There were hundreds of bugs all over them!(我走到花园里，看到许多生菜叶和胡萝卜已经被虫子吃掉一半，我感到很沮丧。到处都是虫子！)”可知，菜园的问题是虫子吃掉了一半的生菜叶和胡萝卜。故选A项。 3. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I can’t believe the carrots are this big already. You must be taking very good care of my garden.(我不敢相信胡萝卜已经这么大了。你一定把我的花园照顾得很好。)”可推知，父亲没有见到菜园蔬菜的生长情况，所以作者可以偷偷地用从商店买的蔬菜做沙拉。故选C项。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Now, I better understand how putting a lot of effort into caring for something can help you appreciate the results more, however small they may be.(现在，我更好地理解了如何投入大量的精力去关心一些事情可以帮助你更多地欣赏结果，不管它们可能是多么微小。)”可推知，作者从这次的经历中学到付出努力常常是有回报的。故选D项。 C A team of scientists says that playing sounds underwater can get fish to return to areas with severely damaged coral reefs(珊瑚礁).In an experiment, they found fish returned after hearing recordings of the sounds like a healthy ocean reef. The research results were reported in Nature Communications. The scientists placed underwater speakers in areas where coral had been dying in Australia’s northern Great Barrier Reef. They played the sounds over a period of about six weeks in 2017 and studied the results. The team reported that twice as many fish arrived in the areas where the sounds of healthy coral were played. The sounds also led to a 50 percent increase in the number of species present in the area, the researchers found. The researchers noted the importance of having many different kinds of fish return to the area. Different species of fish perform many activities that support the ocean environment and sea life. Steve Simpson is a professor at the University of Exeter who helped lead the research. He explained, “Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places. They contain the sounds of many kinds of shrimp, fish and other sea creatures. Young fish listen to these sounds when they are looking for a place to settle. Reefs become extremely quiet when they suffer destruction that is usually related to human-caused pollution. Coral damage can drive shrimp and fish away. But the experiment suggested that the use of underwater loudspeakers was an effective way to get young fish to come back.” Mark Meekan is a fish biologist. He said that the return of the fish is the first step towards seeing major improvements in reef health. “Recovery is underpinned (巩固) by fish that clean the reef and create space for corals to regrow,” he said. University of Bristol professor, Andy Radford, said the underwater sounds are a promising way to fight coral reef damage at the local community level. But he noted that other threats need to be reduced as well. These include climate change, pollution and over fishing. 8. Why can underwater speakers make fish return? A. Because the fish prefer music around their habitats. B. Because they play sounds as a healthy reef does. C. Because the fish know the places with them become better. D. Because they can drive the natural enemies of fishes away. 9. What effect do different kinds of fish have on the ocean according to the text? A. Keeping the ocean’s ecological balance. B. Removing the remarkable noises. C. Preventing the pollution caused by human. D. Driving dangerous creatures away. 10. How does the author prove the significance of this new finding? A. By quoting different authorities’ words. B By comparing the result with another study’s. C. By offering many statistics. D. By showing the detailed process of experiments. 11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Education. B. Entertainment. C. Environment. D. Economy. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11.

The clue starts with the name, particularly the last letter: The future is plural(复数的). “The future is not a fact but a series of decisions we make every day,” said Monica Montgomery, the founder of the museum. “And everyone has the power to shape it.” “Futures” marks the temporary(临时的) reopening of the building. It is the Smithsonian’s second-oldest building and the one considered the first national museum in the USA, says Allison Peck, director of external affairs. The Arts and Industries Building, which opened in 1881, firstly came up with the idea that museums are for circulating knowledge to the public, not just storehouses for private collectors or centers for research, Peck said. Many Smithsonian treasures first appeared in the building, such as an early Thomas Edison lightbulb. “Futures”, part of the Smithsonian’s 175th anniversary celebration, has more than 150 objects and ideas that combine technology, art, design and history. The exhibit employs highly descriptive labels and spreads across four halls with themes: Futures Past, Futures That Inspire, Futures That Unite, and Futures That Work. You can communicate with the exhibits by gesturing with your hands or moving your eyes. In the rotunda(圆形大厅), artist Suchi Reddy’s “me + you” invites you to describe your vision of the future, and then translates your words into colors that can dance on its central column. Look closely at Nettrice Gaskins’s portraits, created with artificial intelligence, and a city street map for Floyd McKissick. McKissick was the founder of Soul City, North Carolina, in the 1970s as an ideal place for black people to live. The exhibit highlights futuristic project that is ongoing: Where will we live? 12. What does the name of the exhibit indicate? A. Everyone can be involved in creating the future. B. The exhibit is for a celebration. C. Everyone’s future is unchangeable. D. The exhibit is organized by the public. 13. What do we know about the Arts and Industries Building? A. It was built by private collectors. B. It pioneered the idea of spreading knowledge. C. It is the place where Edison once worked. D. It is the largest national museum in the USA. 14. What can visitors do at the exhibit? A. Interact with exhibits using their body language. B. Translate their words into colors. C. Make a map of their cities. D. Paint a portrait with artificial intelligence. 15. Where is the passage most probably taken from? A. A textbook. B. A science fiction. C. A popular magazine. D. A travel journal. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从展览的名字、活动安排以及主题等各个方面介绍了在史密森尼艺术与工业大厦所举办的“未来”展览会的情况。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The future is plural(复数的).(未来是在不断变化的)”以及第二段中““The future is not a fact but a series of decisions we make every day,” said Monica Montgomery, the founder of the museum. “And everyone has the power to shape it.”(“未来不是一个事实，而是我们每天做出的一系列决定，”博物馆的创始人Monica Montgomery。“每个人都有能力塑造它。”)”可知，该展览的名字表明这未来是在不断地变化，每个人都可以有能力去塑造未来。即每个人都可以参与创造未来。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The Arts and Industries Building, which opened in 1881, firstly came up with the idea that museums are for circulating knowledge to the public, not just storehouses for private collectors or centers for research, Peck said. (派克说，1881年开放的艺术与工业大楼首先提出了这样一个想法：博物馆是向公众传播知识的场所，而不仅仅是私人收藏家的仓库或研究中心。)”可知，1881年开放的艺术与工业大楼是向公众传播知识的场所即开放的艺术与工业大楼开创了向公众传播知识的先河。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“You can communicate with the exhibits by gesturing with your hands or moving your eyes.

His parents, teachers, and many others, said he didn’t know how to lose, but the truth of it was that he couldn’t stand losing, not even at marbles (弹珠游戏). He felt so good, when he won, that he never wanted to give up that feeling; not for anything in the world. On top of that, losing made him feel precisely the opposite. It seemed to Pete that losing was the worst thing that could happen to anyone. If there was a game Pete wasn’t brilliant at, he simply wouldn’t play it. But if he was going to win he would take part, even if the game lasted only a minute. And the kind of things he was really good at, like table football, you could hardly stop him playing. A new kid named Albert started at Pete’s school. For several days Pete watched the new guy. He was great at some things, terrible at others — to an embarrassing degree — but he enjoyed everything equally. Pete saw Albert playing basketball once. He was absolutely hopeless; he lost time after time. But that happy smile never left Albert’s face. Albert was an especially good table football player, and it didn’t take Pete and Albert long before they challenged each other to a game.  Pete prepared for the match with great seriousness. He was concentrated and intense (紧张的) . Albert, on the other hand, seemed not to be taking the thing at all seriously. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On that day, Pete’s great victory (胜利) was on everyone’s lips. But, that night, Pete didn’t feel so happy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Pete prepared for the match with great seriousness. He was concentrated and intense. Albert, on the other hand, seemed not to be taking the thing at all seriously. He was laughing and joking as if it was all just a game. Pete knew he was going to win, but he wanted to make sure. He used all the skills and techniques he had learned and practiced over the years. On that day, Pete’s great victory was on everyone’s lips. But, that night, Pete didn’t feel so happy. He had won, but he hadn’t enjoyed it. He had felt a strange sense of sadness when he saw Albert’s face. Despite his loss, Albert was still happy and laughing. Pete realized that winning didn’t mean as much as he had thought if it was at the cost of someone else’s joy. From that day on, Pete began to look at losing differently; not as something to avoid, but as something to accept, and even embrace. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了皮特是个好胜的人，不喜欢失败。但他在学校遇到了一个名叫艾伯特的新同学，他从不害怕失败。艾伯特喜欢所有的比赛，即使是输。没过多久，皮特和艾伯特就互相挑战了一场比赛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“皮特非常认真地准备比赛。他全神贯注，神情紧张。另一方面，艾伯特似乎根本不把这件事当回事”可知，第一段可描写比赛中皮特和艾伯特不同的态度和表现。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天，每个人都在谈论皮特的伟大胜利。但是，那天晚上，皮特感到不太高兴”可知，第二段可描写皮特虽然赢得了比赛但并不高兴，他最终学会了用不同的眼光看待失败。 2.续写线索：皮特认真对待比赛——艾伯特只把比赛当作一场游戏——皮特获胜但并不快乐——学会用不同的眼光看待失败 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①获胜：win/triumph ②确保：make sure/guarantee/make certain ③避免：avoid/avert/escape 情绪类 ①认真地：seriously/earnestly ②高兴：happy/glad/joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1] He was laughing and joking as if it was all just a game.(运用了as if引导方式状语从句) [高分句型2] He used all the skills and techniques he had learned and practiced over the years.(运用了省略关系代词that的定语从句) [高分句型3] He had felt a strange sense of sadness when he saw Albert’s face.(运用了从属连词when引导时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
