He was not a particularly good student in the teachers’ eyes—he neither observed the school disciplines nor worked hard enough at school lessons. His teachers described him as “thick”. He joined the army during the Second World War, but he wasn’t much of a soldier. However, he was a wizard with electrical machinery—he would use the newly invented radar to help pilots better find their way home on dark, cloudy nights. After the war, Hounsfield followed his commander’s advice and got a degree in engineering. He practiced his trade at EMI, a company with a focus on electronics and electrical engineering. Hounsfield’s natural talent for engineering made him lead the team building the most advanced mainframe computer available in Britain. But by the 1960’s, EMI wanted out of the competitive computer market and the brilliant engineer wasn’t sure what to do in the future in the company. Therefore, the company gave Hounsfield a long holiday. During the holiday, Hounsfield met a physician who complained about the poor quality of X-ray of the brain, which looked like fog. This got Hounsfield to make a move into the new field. Hounsfield returned to EMI and talked about the idea with his boss. Then he used a new way to approach the problem of imaging what was inside the skull. By working backward and using the fastest computers, he could work on the mystery of each brain layer. But there was a problem: EMI wasn’t involved in the medical market then. The company allowed Hounsfield to work on his product, but provided no funding. Luckily, his boss, Bill Ingham, saw the value of Hounsfield’s proposal and struggled to ask EMI to keep the project run. Finally, Hounsfield built a safe and effective human scanner. Hounsfield’s innovation transformed medicine. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1979 and was knighted by the queen in 1981. He continued his invention career until his final days in 2004, when he died at 84. 56．What can we say about Hounsfield’s early school life? A．He worked really hard. B．He didn’t manage to graduate. C．He was popular with his teachers. D．He didn’t behave himself. 高三英语试卷 第 6 页（共 10 页） 57．What does the underlined part “was a wizard with” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Stayed away from. B．Became tired of. C．Came up with. D．Was gifted in. 58．Why did EMI give Hounsfield a long holiday? A．To relieve Hounsfield’s anxiety over stressful work. B．To make Hounsfield think about his future career. C．To allow Hounsfield to reflect on his mistakes. D．To remind Hounsfield to learn from others. 59．What difficulty did Hounsfield meet during his invention of human scanner? A．Having no one on his side. B．Experiencing too many failures. C．Being short of financial support. D．Being misunderstood by his boss. 60．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To remember a great inventor. B．To reveal the decline of a company. C．To introduce the application of X-rays. D．To show the improvements brought by technology. C It’s long known to us that living close to major roads is harmful to people due to the exposure to air pollution. However, road traffic noise is also a widespread problem in cities whose impact on children’s health remains poorly understood. A new study conducted at 38 schools in Barcelona suggests that traffic noise at schools has a harmful effect on the development of working memory and attention in primary school students. The study included 2,680 children between 7 and 10 years of age. To assess the possible impact of traffic noise on their cognitive (认知的 ) development, the researchers focused on two abilities that develop rapidly during preadolescence (青春期前) and are essential for learning and school attainment: attention and working memory. The fieldwork for the study was carried out over a 12-month period in 2012 and 2013,during which the participants completed the cognitive tests four times. The aim of these tests was not only to assess their working memory and attention but also to study their evolution over time. Over the same period, noise measurements were taken in front of the 38 participating schools, as well as in the playground s and inside classrooms. In the analysis of outdoor noise levels of schools, higher average noise levels and greater fluctuation (波动) in noise levels were both associated with poorer student performance on all tests. Inside the classroom, greater fluctuation in noise levels was also associated with slower progress over the course of the year on all cognitive tests. However, children exposed to higher average classroom noise levels over the course of the year performed worse than students in quieter classrooms only on the attention test, but not on the working memory test. The researchers used the 2012 road traffic noise map of the city of Barcelona to estimate the average noise level at each participant’s home. In this case, however, no association was observed 高三英语试卷 第 7 页（共 10 页） between residential noise and cognitive development. “This could be because noise exposure at schools is more harmful as it affects concentration and learning processes,” commented Maria Forester. “On the other hand, although noise measurements were taken at the schools, noise levels at the children’s homes were estimated using a noise map that may be less accurate and, in any case, only reflected outdoor noise. This, too, may have influenced the results.” 61．What problem does Paragraph 1 highlight? A．Impacts of traffic noise on children. B．Negative effects of living in big cities. C．The harm of air pollution to children’s health. D．The obstacle to improving working memory and attention. 62．What can we learn about the study? A．It lasted more than two years. B．It targeted schoolers of a certain age range. C．It involved participants from different nations. D．It was mainly carried out inside classrooms. 63．What played a role only in students’ poorer attention performance according to the text? A．Higher average classroom noise levels. B．Students’ worse family environment. C．Students’ weaker ability to adapt to new environments. D．Greater fluctuation in classroom noise levels. 64．How was the average residential noise level evaluated in the study? A．Through the researchers’ investigation. B．Through the participants’ calculation. C．Through field tests by professionals. D．Through a road traffic noise map. 65．What is Maria Forester trying to explain in the last paragraph? A．The major research directions of future studies. B．The reasons for taking noise measurements at schools. C．The factors influencing the findings of research on residential noise. D．The effects of residential noise levels on children’s concentration. D The Tianjin Binhai Public Library was described by The Daily Mail as “the world’s ultimate library” in 2017, and “breathtaking” was the word chosen for it. One book at the library and you’ll see why. With its futuristic design and walls loaded with books, it’s the dream library of every book lover. But as the awe continues, there’s a burning question lying in the back of our minds: When physical bookstores are closing down one by one, what makes libraries immune from digitalization? And do we still need libraries as we’ve got the Internet in our hands? 高三英语试卷 第 8 页（共 10 页） Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are not declining in importance - people are simply changing the way they use them,” he wrote. What Clark means is that libraries have shifted from simply being storehouses of books to a medium to help “bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots”. According to him, Libraries Are Essential. Since not everyone can afford a smart phone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone has the know-how to search the internet efficiently, it’s public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people. And one of the pitfalls that come with online materials is that they’re not always trustworthy. “Google doesn’t tell you what you’re not getting, so people need to evaluate the quality and completeness of what they see on their screens, ” Sarah Pritchard, dean （院长） of libraries at Northwestern University, told Northwestern Research Magazine. And libraries are usually where that “evaluation” happens. But all of these practical functions aside, we still need the physical space that a library provides. It’s something that's called a “third place”, according to the Seattle Times. This is a place in which we can fully concentrate on our study and work without easily getting distracted. And compared to other “third places” like coffee shops, libraries have a “non-commercial nature” that allows you to relax completely. “Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library. There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices,” Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University in New Zealand, said. “There are few other spaces that you can just ‘be’ without somebody questioning your presence or your motivation.” 66．The attraction of the Tianjin Binhai Public Library lies in _______. A．world's ultimate library B．design and book walls C．every book lover's dream D．reports on The Daily Mail 67．The underlined word “pitfalls” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______. A．problems B．functions C．mistakes D．trends 68．What would Ian Clark probably agree with? A．Libraries have changed the way people read. B．Libraries are as important as they used to be. C．Libraries are better used by the poor than the rich. D．Libraries are made more available to more people. 69．What advantages do libraries have over coffee shops according to Anne Goulding? A．Libraries make people less likely to get distracted. B．Libraries give people more motivation and inspiration. C．Libraries provide people with a wider range of choices. D．Libraries allow people to read without fear of being judged. 70．Where can you probably find the above passage? A．In a news report. B．In an introductory speech. C．In a science magazine. D．In a fashion brochure. 高三英语试卷 第 9 页（共 10 页） 第 II卷（非选择题，共 35分） 第一部分：阅读表达（共 5小题；每小题 2分，满分 10分） 阅读短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 How do students spend their spare time after finishing their homework? Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax? Here's a good example. Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters: eleven-year-old Amy and nine-year-old Ella. Recently, the Meek family has become the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year. The Meek couple didn't want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become "couch potatoes". So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted. Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr. and Mrs. Meek are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters. It turns out that the two sisters really had a good time joining activities. Every holiday and weekend, whether it's sunny, rainy or snowy, the Meeks would set off to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing, skiing, and so on. The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activities. They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity. "Our friends spend a lot of their free time doing things which are harmful to their health. Luckily, we've had the chance to experience something different." Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months. 71. Why did the Meeks become the focus of the UK? (no more than 10 words) 72.
