2018届浙江省杭州市高三第二次高考科目教学质量检测英语试题

A It is halfway through October. The sun arrives early and I stare out my window, feeling shame for invading（侵犯）the privacy of the homeless woman who has settled across the street. I am not sure when she first appeared, maybe a month ago. Each morning I watch as she gets out from the narrow space between the two large buildings across from mine. She wears the same dirty, badly torn dress every day. I can see she fights to pull herself up into a standing position. She fails on the first two or three tries, but determination always wins out. She remains leaning against the wall for several long minutes, appearing to gather the necessary strength needed to pick up her possessions all packed into five plastic bags. With tears in my eyes, I watch as she places her feet pointing outward to avoid falling. Her steps are measured and cautious as she slowly makes her way to the corner and disappears. When I first noticed this woman, I went across the street and offered her 20 dollars, but she turned her back to me and pretended not to see me. The expression on her face was one of shame, causing me to feel guilt for invading her privacy. The next night I bought a hotdog and a Coke, and left them in the spot when she was not there. Feeling like a spy, I watched as she ate the hotdog like a starving cat that had not eaten for days. I too often find myself complaining about life, but when I look out my window and see the old woman, I feel the need to apologize for my foolish pride in not realizing how fortunate I really am. There are many poor people in my town. I have become familiar with many of their faces, and then suddenly they disappear. I know that one day the old woman will be gone and I will have no idea where she is. I fear that day. 21 .What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. Life is tough for the homeless woman. B. Poverty causes the womans poor health. C. The woman doesnt care about her appearance. D. Possessions mean much to the woman. 22. Why did the woman refuse the authors 20 dollars? A. The money didnt help much. B. She didnt like the author. C. Accepting money was guilty. D. She felt her dignity was hurt. 23. What lesson does the author learn from the homeless woman? A.

B A laptop, a hair straightener, Christmas lights, an e-reader, a kettle, two bags, a pair of jeans, a remote-control helicopter, a spoon, and a dining-room chair. All broken. It sounds like a pile of things that youd stick in boxes and take to the dustbins. In fact, its a list of things mended in a single afternoon by British volunteers determined to get people to stop throwing things away. This is the Reading Repair Cafe, part of an international network aimed at dealing with a world of rubbish. The helicopter belongs to William who cheerfully describes himself as “mechanically incompetent”. He has owned it for 8 years, but 3 years ago it stopped working and it has been sitting unused in his cupboard ever since. He sits down at the table of Colin Haycock, an IT professional who volunteers at the repair cafe, which has been running for about four years and is a place where people can bring all manner of household items to be fixed for free. In less than five minutes, Haycock has fixed the helicopter and it works well. William looks ashamed; Haycock looks pleased. “I wish they were all that simple,” he says. Today, the repairers will stop 24kg of waste from going to landfill(垃圾填埋场) and save 284kg of CO2. Some items cant be fixed on the spot but very little needs to be thrown away. Gabrille Stanley, who used to run a clothing business, says she was drawn to volunteering at the repair cafe to fight the “throwaway culture” she sees. About 300, 000 tons of clothing was sent to landfill in the UK in 2016 and a report from WRAP puts the average lifespan(寿命) for a piece of clothing in the UK at 3. 3 years. 25.

Clothing factories are to blame for the waste. D. Running a clothing business is no easy task. C The descriptions are scary. Some people felt fine in the morning and then were dead by night. Patients coughed up blood. Their faces turned blue. That was what happened in 1918. A deadly flu killed tens of millions of people around the world. It is 100 years later. Scientists are thinking about how to keep us safe from another superflu. Dr. Anthony Fauci says we need one vaccine(疫苗) that can protect against most or all types of the flu. Scientists want a shot that people could get every 5 or 10 years to get rid of normal flu shots. Maybe someday we will need just one shot. It could last our whole lives. It will not be easy. Scientists have been learning about the flu for 100 years. Still, the flu often beats our best plans to stop it. That is because it is always changing. The immune system(免疫系统) protects the body. It keeps us healthy by fighting things that might harm the body. To get around our immune system, the flu changes itself every year. Scientists have a new plan, though. They are learning how the flu tricks the immune system. They are finding which part of the flu stays the same each year. The 1918 flu outbreak shows why this is so important. Back then, there was no flu vaccine. There was no way to stop it. By winter 1919, the flu had infected one-third of the worlds population, killing more than 50 million people in a short time. In 2009, scientists made a great discovery. They learned something new. Sometimes, peoples immune systems make a small number of special antibodies. Antibodies are proteins(蛋质) in the blood. These proteins stop us from getting sick. These special antibodies can stop the flu. Scientists are trying different tricks to get peoples bodies to make more of those antibodies. They still need to learn more, though. In the meantime, Fauci says it is silly to think about what the next flu might bring.” We just need to be prepared, ” he said. 28. The flu tricks the immune system by_ . A. changing itself every year B. remaining totally unchanged C. producing special antibodies D. harming proteins in the body 29. What can we learn from the text? ! 3 第页 A. The flu today causes more deaths than it did 100 years ago. B. A flu vaccine shot with long-term effects is easy to make. C. The super flu will take about 5 or 10 years to get rid of. D. People dont have to be too concerned about the flu. 30. What is the main idea of the text? A. The deadly flu killed tens of millions of people in such a short time. B. Scientists are trying to figure out the best protection against the flu. C. The immune system plays a vital part in keeping us from being sick. D. People around the world are scared of the sudden outbreak of the flu. 第节 (共5题；每题2分，满分10分） 根据短内容，从短后的选项中选出能填空处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Why I Got Rid of My Cell Phone In 2017 I decided to take a break from my cell phone.

When walking she looks up, down, or sideways, never where shes going. One day, she spotted, partly covered by leaves and litter, a $100 bill. She looked to see if anyone was watching and bent down to crumple (揉 捏) the bill in her tiny hand. Sliding it into her jacket pocket, she took another guilty look around and then hurried off to school. Her day was spent watching her jacket hung on the wall by the door. During lunch, she took it off and ran to the far side of the playground to pull out the crumpled bill and stare at it and see that it was real and now belonged to her. When some older kids wandered by, she put it back into her pocket quickly and rushed back into the school. It wasnt until she was riding home on the school bus that she started to wonder about who the bill had belonged to before it came to be hers. “Probably somebody rich”, she thought. “Why else would they be so careless with $100 bill?” ! 7 第页 She imagined a tall man in a fine wool jacket walking to his big car and pulling out a roll of money, not noticing as one bill drifted(飘落) to the ground.
