Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935. Hammes got the idea after watching his wife spend time wrapping food waste in newspaper and throwing it out. The InSinkErator is a device, installed under a kitchen sink between the sink’s drain and the trap. The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough --generally less than 2 mm in diameter-- to pass through the plumbing. Surgical Gloves William Stewart Halsted, M.D. (1852-1922) was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”. Known for his strict adherence to sterile (无菌的) working conditions, Halsted invented rubber gloves that allowed his colleagues to lessen the transfer of germs during their work. Yet the initial reason why he created them is more romantic than you would think. Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin disease during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage. Band-Aids When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in. Dickson, a cotton buyer for Johnson & Johnson, according to the company’s website, decided to invent a temporary bandage for his wife. His creation became the Band-Aid we all know and use today. Magnetic (磁性的) Shirt Buttons Maura Horton’s husband, Don, was a football coach who had Parkinson’s disease. One day, after Don struggled to button his shirt before a game, Horton decided there needed to be a better clothing option for people suffering from a disability. So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012. These buttons will finally allow everyone to dress and undress themselves efficiently. 21. What’s the function of the InSinkErator？ A. It can clear sink pipes. B. It can recycle kitchen waste. C. It can remove food waste easily. D. It can extend the service life of kitchen sinks. 22. What can we learn about William’s surgical gloves？ 高一英语试卷 第 4 页（第一、二卷 共 10 页） A. They made William known worldwide. B. They assisted in the treatment of skin diseases. C. They were originally intended for William’s wife. D. They were invented with the aid of William’s colleagues. 23. Which of the following is the latest invention？ A. The InSinkErator. B. Surgical gloves. C. Band-Aids. D. Magnetic shirt buttons. B The other day I quarreled with my good friend Alissa. I told a guy a conversation we shared, not knowing she would be so annoyed with me about it. Yes, I overstepped my boundaries (边界). But I don’t want to lose my three-year friendship with Alissa. You develop a friendship with someone, and conflict is sure to occur. Many superficial (肤浅的 ) friendships end up being broken after an argument because there isn’t enough depth to ensure all the trouble it takes to smooth over the disagreement. Unfortunately, even when the friendship reaches a deeper level, conflict continues to happen and can break apart a relationship. How can this be avoided? First and foremost, talk the situation over soon after it occurs. And do it quickly! From my experience, people begin to talk about what happened while it is still fresh in their minds. One rule my parents follow in their marriage is that they don’t go to bed angry with each other. They always try to resolve things the day it happens so that in the morning, it’s a fresh start. Sometimes if you sit down and talk things over, realize everyone has been created differently with various talents, abilities, and personalities. For example, you might be a leader while your friend is more of a follower. You may be disappointed with him or her for not being very decisive. Yet it is important to understand that each person is unique and needs to be appreciated. But the most challenging is resolution-- be the first person in a fight to say sorry for your part. Even when you think the other person is wrong, it’s not a bad thing to say, “I’m sorry you feel that way.” Use feeling words since no one can argue with your feelings. For example, “When you do this, you make me feel silly.” Resolving conflict in any friendship is not a pleasant task, but it is worth the trouble because the result on the other end is a deeper friendship. 24. What do superficial friendships and deeper ones have in common according to the paragraph 2? A. Conflict is unavoidable. B. A quarrel brings an end to them. 高一英语试卷 第 5 页（第一、二卷 共 10 页） C. Disagreement deepens friendships. D. Understanding between friends is important. 25. What do we know about the author’s parents? A. They never sleep with work undone. B. They are used to making an apology. C. Their marriage isn’t so happy as expected. D. They solve their arguments without delay. 26. Which of the following does the author think is the most challenging? A. Applying feeling words when apologizing. B. Realizing everyone needs to be appreciated. C. Accepting your followers are not so decisive. D. Being the first one to apologize for your part. 27. What’s the author’s attitude towards resolving conflicts between friends? A. Supportive. B. Unworthy. C. Troublesome. D. Cautious. C Winter is over, so chances are you’re ready for some major spring cleaning or cleansing. Whether you plan to clean your bedroom or wipe the windows, don’t forget to tidy up the kitchen! According to a study, a messy cooking space can lead to overeating. As part of the study, 101 female students were put in standard kitchen and messy kitchen environments and were asked to write about a time when they felt in control or out of control. Next, they were given cookies, crackers and carrots. Students in the “messy kitchen” who wrote about feeling out of control ate about twice as many cookies as the people in the in-control situation. The researchers found that a messy environment can actually make people more likely to eat unhealthy foods, but the person’s mindset (思维倾向) within that environment can either trigger or protect against overeating. In the messy kitchen, women who wrote about a time when they felt in control consumed fewer cookie calories than the women who wrote about being out of control. As the researchers pointed out, our mindset affects whether we will overeat unhealthy foods while in a messy kitchen. If we go into the kitchen with an "in-control" attitude, we might not eat as many cookies. But then again, why not try out cleaning up the kitchen and see what it does? Everything that feeds you doesn’t come on a plate such as your relationships, physical activity, and spirituality. Your home environment is also a big part of that nourishment (营养 ). So whether you tidy up your kitchen or your living room, paying attention to your living space (just like your diet!) can have a positive effect on health. 高一英语试卷 第 6 页（第一、二卷 共 10 页） 28. Why were the students asked to write if they were feeling in control or not? A. To make them stay long in the kitchen. B. To see the effect of the mindset on eating. C. To learn if they could choose the right amount of food to eat. D. To find out the relationship between the environment and mindsets. 29. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Break up. B. Hold back. C. Set off. D. Depend on. 30. What suggestion does the author give? A. Keeping your living space clean. B. Staying away from unhealthy food. C. Finding suitable ways to stay healthy. D. Protecting yourself against overeating. 31. The passage is probably taken from a(n)_____. A. news story B. research report C. government document D. advertisement D A mouse thought to have become extinct over 150 years ago has been found alive on an island off the coast of Western Australia, researchers have discovered. Scientists compared DNA from eight extinct Australian animals and 42 of their living relatives. They discovered that the extinct Gould’s mouse was almost the same as the Shark Bay mouse. The mouse was once found across the country, but was last seen in 1857. Researchers said that the introduction of diverse foreign species (多种多样的外来 物种), agricultural land clearing and new diseases negatively influenced the native species. Climate change and poor fire management also influenced its population size. The remaining populations of the Gould’s mouse were located on a single 42-square-kilometer island in Shark Bay, Bernier Island. One small population is not enough for a species to survive, so the mice have been taken to two other islands to build new populations. “It is exciting that the Gould’s mouse is still around. But its disappearance from the mainland stresses how quickly this species went from being around most of Australia to only surviving on some islands in Western Australia,” said researcher Emily Roycroft, an evolutionary biologist from the Australian National University. More than 80% of Australia’s mammals (哺乳动物) are local ones, as a result of Australia’s long period of separation from other land. The country has what 高一英语试卷 第 7 页（第一、二卷 共 10 页） researchers described in a 2015 paper as an unusual rate of extinction. At the same time, a paper published in 2019 found that Australia was home to 6-10% of the world’s post-1500 recognized extinctions. Humans have already made hundreds of species disappear and put many more at risk of extinction through wildlife trade, pollution, etc. The earth’s sixth great extinction is happening now, much faster than expected. And the rate at which species are dying out has been sped in recent ten years, scientists have warned. 32. What can we learn about the Gould’s mouse? A. It benefits a lot from species diversity. B. It has been living in Australia since 1857. C. It is really similar to the Shark Bay mouse. D. It isn’t greatly influenced by global warming. 33. Why were some of the Gould’s mouse taken out of the original island? A. To protect it from natural enemies. B. To improve its living environment. C. To separate it from serious diseases. D. To ensure its population to increase. 34. What does the author want to say in Paragraph 5? A. Australia’s mammals’ uniqueness. B. Australia’s location’s effect on species diversity. C. The need for more research on species diversity. D. The danger of losing more species in recent years. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Gould’s mouse is back from extinction B. The Gould’s mouse -- a popular species in Australia C. The Gould’s mouse -- the sufferer of human activities D. The reason behind the Gould’s mouse’s disappearance 第二节 七选五（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。 British Harvest Festival is celebrated on or close to the Sunday of the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon that’s closest to the Autumn Equinox (秋分). 36 But it may also take place at the beginning of October in some years. This holiday is to celebrate the food that land has provided and to give thanks. The Harvest Festival can date back to the ancient Celts’ times when it was celebrated as the seasonal mid-point. 37 In Anglo-Saxon England, these traditions of the Harvest Festival continued. And during this time, it became a custom to “bless (祝福) the bread”, which would later become the tradition of giving thanks for a meal. 38 In this way, the 高一英语试卷 第 8 页（第一、二卷 共 10 页） Harvest Festival continue to develop over the next few hundred years until it became the holiday that it’s today. 39 Usually, people in Britain share a meal with friends and family and decorate homes. They also attend church, give food out to people in need, and sing songs. Some people make corn toys, which are expected to bring luck to next year’s harvest. Sometimes these toys are hung up on farm houses. Some British people are trying to return this holiday to some of its religious roots (宗教根源). However, most don’t have that attempt. 40 They also give thanks for the good luck they received all year long. A. Why is the Harvest Festival still celebrated? B. By the 1500s, many traditions had been put into this day. C. How do the British celebrate the Harvest Festival nowadays? D. Thus, this holiday usually falls around the end of September. E. In that way, it is much like the American holiday of Thanksgiving. F. They just see this holiday as a way to spend time with their family. G. During this time, people would harvest their crops and store food up for winter. 第三部分 语言运用（共四节，满分 70分） 第一节 完形填空（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 A、 B、 C、 D四个选项中选出可以填入空 白处的最佳选项。 Dexter, a pet dog, was born on the plains of Colorado.
