2019-2020学年辽宁省六校协作体联考高三（上）开学英语试卷

第一部分 阅读理解（共两节）第一节（满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．

• 1．Amazing Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans◆Horses are picky eaters
     Horses have an even better sense of smell than humans do．When horses raise their noses and open their nostrils （鼻孔），their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can't sense．This might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows，eating only the tastiest grasses，experts say．
  ◆Whale says thanks
     In 2011，a whale expert spotted a humpback whale trapped in a fishing net and spent an hour freeing it．Afterward，in an hour-long display of thanks，the whale swam near their boat and leaped into the air about 40 times．
  ◆Pandas like to be naughty
     Is there anything more lovely than a baby panda，except maybe a human baby？In fact，baby pandas sometimes behave like human babies．They sleep in the same positions and value their thumbs．Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviors such as covering its face with a paw of ducking its head when confronted by a stranger．
  ◆A cat honors its owner
     Paper towels，and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo，a devoted three-year-old gray-and-white cat，has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzo's grave every day since the man died in September 2011．Renzo adopted Toldo from a shelter when the cat was three months old，and the two formed an inseparable bond．After Renzo passed away，Toldo followed the coffin to the cemetery，and now "stands guard" at the grave for hours at a time．

• 2．Hundreds of villagers took matters into their own hands by digging miles of trenches（沟壕）to install their own cables（电缆）．The tiny village in Michaelston Fedw，with a population of 300，clubbed together after being unable to download films，stream music or connect to online banking．Farmers，teachers and even the village pub owners put in thousands of hours of volunteering to dig miles of trenches and now have super fast broadband（宽带）．
     The project cost around ￡250，000 with villagers paying￡150，000 of their own money to secure their super fast connection speed．They were also able to obtain￡100，000 from EU funding and the Welsh Government Access Broadband Cymru scheme．
     The idea was produced in the local pub when villagers were complaining about their Wi-Fi connections．Ben Longman，owner of the Cefn Mably Arms，said， "We were in the pub and we were all complaining about how bad the Wi-Fi was．I had just paid for high speed broadband and realized it would not work．"
     One of the organizers，Carina Dunk，61，said it was fantastic what the village had achieved．She said， "It used to take a few days to download a film；now it takes less than a minute．Communities have tended to be more distant and separated but not here anymore．Sometimes we have to take a step back and achieve something．"
     A year after the project，most of the 300 villagers are now united in a 1，000 Mps broadband connection．
     However，Richard Raybould，59，is still waiting for his house to be connected on the edge of the village and said he cannot wait．He said， "It is amazing what skills people in the community have．There are experts and farmers who dig trenches．I have met at least 30 people who I had never spoken to before．"
  
  （1）What can we learn about the villagers？

  
  A．They had no access to the Internet．
  B．They usually didn't have much free time．
  C．They didn't know how to use the Internet correctly．

  （2）To have their own cables，the villagers had to

  ．
  A．partly cover the cost
  B．employ workers to dig trenches
  C．donate ￡100，000 to EU funding
  D．get the local government's permission
  （3）What does the author intend to do by mentioning Carina Dunk's words？

  
  A．Explain the cause of the project．
  B．Explain the process of the project．
  C．Show the benefits from the project．
  D．Show the villagers' attitudes toward the project．
  （4）What would be the best title for the text？

  B．Villagers dream of super fast broadband
  C．Villagers volunteer to install super fast broadband
  D．Villagers are suffering from bad Wi-Fi connections

• 3．For students，college is a series of disconnected experiences：the classroom，the dorm，the athletic field，and the internship（实习岗位）．Yet the employers tell me what gets college students hired is the ability to translate what they learned in one place （the classroom，for example） to another that is far different from where they originally learned a concept （a project on an internship）．
     Educators call this " transfer learning"-the ability to summarize key principles and apply them in many different places，which becomes more important as the skills needed to keep up in any job and occupation continue to change in the future．Our ability to drive almost any car on the market without reading its manual（手册）is an example of knowledge transfer．
     The concept sounds simple enough．But today's students，faced with the constant pressure to prepare for standardized tests，rarely have the chance to learn through problem-solving or to be involved in projects that improve skills that can be used in various settings．
     In response to demands from students，parents and employers，colleges and universities are adding hands-on experiences to the undergraduate curriculum．
     Arizona State University，where I' m a professor of practice，is testing a curriculum across a dozen majors in which students learn nearly half of the subject matter through group projects．Engineering students might build a robot and learn the key principles of mechanics and electronics during the project．The hope is that students will be more involved if theories from the classroom are immediately applied in the outside world instead of years after students graduate．
     What's the problem with the hands-on learning experiences being added by colleges to the undergraduate curriculum？They're often not accompanied by the guidance that students need to help them transfer what they learn．So students become adept skilled in job interviews at describing what they did during a project，but they have difficulty talking about what they learned and how they can apply that to where they want to work．
  
  （1）Why is the ability to drive mentioned in Paragraph 2？

  
  A．To show that everything is changing．
  B．To prove that driving ability is important．
  C．To stress the importance of practical skills．
  D．To explain the meaning of transfer learning．
  （2）What prevents students from getting the ability to transfer knowledge？

  
  A．Various school projects．
  B．Too much stress from tests．
  C．Their lack of theory knowledge．
  D．Their unwillingness to solve problems．
  （3）Which may arouse students' interest in school learning according to the author？

  
  A．Seeing what they have learned is applied．
  B．Teachers changing the way lectures are given．
  C．Focusing on the key principles of every subject．
  D．Teachers explaining theories in an interesting way．
  （4）What does the author think of the hands-on learning experiences in colleges？

  
  A．They are effective．
  B．They are unnecessary．
  C．They should be improved．
  D．They cost a lot of time．
