2020-2021学年山东省济南市历城二中高三（下）开学英语试卷（2月份）

第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分25.0分）第一节：（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25.0分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

• 1．In storm-stricken Santa Clarita，California，last March，Margarito Martinez approached Runner Road slowly.A small stream had overflowed onto the road.Martinez，driving a Toyota SUV，figured he'd be OK.
     Halfway across，the rushing waters grabbed hold of his vehicle，sweeping it off the road and washing it down a rocky stream bed.It finally stopped a good 80 feet away，when the water somehow lifted the SUV and landed it on the ground at a 45-degree angle.Injured，shaken，and trapped inside with the muddy water rising quickly and the door seriously damaged，Martinez was certain that he was going to die.
     On the road right behind Martinez were a delivery worker and his niece.They watched the horror unfold，and when Martinez's SUV came to rest in the middle of the river，the man leaped to act.First，he grabbed heavy-duty ropes from the back of his truck and fixed the SUV to nearby posts.Then he climbed atop Martinez's vehicle and struck on a rear window with his fists.Frustrated，he turned to his niece and yelled， "Give me a rock!"
     Over and over he smashed the rock into the window very hard，but in vain."We were scared that something else was going to come down and take the SUV，take him，take my uncle，" Krystina Reyes，27，told CBSLA.Her uncle has not publicly revealed his name.
     Reyes's uncle shouted to Martinez to move away from the window.He supported himself - right foot on the spare tire，left in the wheel well.He leaned back and threw the rock.Finally，the glass broke and the man kicked in the remaining pieces.Soon，a soaked Martinez came out through the window frame，and the men escaped to dry land.Martinez was saved by an anonymous （匿名的） delivery worker.

• 2．If you think about it，work-life balance is a strange ambition for a fulfilling life.Balance is about stasis（静止状态）：if our lives were ever in balance - parents happy，kids taken care of，work working - then our thought would be to shout "Nobody move!" and pray all would stay perfect forever.This false hope is made worse by the categories themselves.They imply that work is bad，and life is good.And so the challenge，we are told，is to balance the heaviness of work with the lightness of life.
     Yet work is not the opposite of life.It is instead a part of life - just as family is，as are friends and community.All of these aspects of living have their share of uplifting moments and moments that drag us down.The same is true of work.Treat work the same way you do life：by maximizing what you love.
     We have interviewed several anesthesiologists（麻醉师）about the thrills they feel in their jobs.One said he loved the thrill of holding each patient hovering at that one precise point between life and death.Another said she loved the bedside conversations before the operation aiming to calm the panic that affects many patients.
     The simplest way for you to do this is to spend a week in love with your job.During the week，any time you find yourself feeling one of the signs of love write down exactly what you were doing in the column "Love".And any time you find yourself feeling the inverse write down what you were doing in the column "Loathe（讨厌）".By the end of the week you will see a list of activities in your "Love" column，which create in you a positive feeling，one that draws you in and lifts you up.Our goal should be to，little by little，week by week，intentionally unbalance all aspects of our work toward the former and away from the latter.
  
  （1）What is the author's attitude towards work-life balance？

  
  A．Doubtful.
  B．Disapproving.
  C．Supportive.
  D．Neutral.
  （2）The author uses two anesthesiologists as examples to

  .
  A．prove people benefit from work
  B．indicate doctors take pride in their work
  C．show people gain joy from different situations
  D．imply doctors reduce the pressure of work successfully
  （3）Which of the following does the author probably agree with？

  
  A．Sense of thrill is necessary for a balanced life.
  B．Recording activities helps create positive feeling.
  C．Find love in work instead of keeping work-life balance.
  D．Maximize what you love to remove the heaviness from work.

• 8．Brave Dog wasn't always his name.In the beginning he was just Stray Dog （流浪狗）.
      I saw him for the first time one evening when Mattie and I went to milk the cows.He was all dusty coat and skinny-ribbed （皮包骨头的），hardly worth a second glance.But Mattie made a beeline for him，reaching out to pet him， "What a pretty dog!" The dog looked unsure，as if he weren't used to being spoken to kindly.I grabbed Mattie's arm. "Keep away from that stray dog，" I told her， "You know how Dad feels about stray dogs." "Don't call him Stray Dog，" said Mattie. "He's a pretty dog." The dog licked her face and put a paw on her shoulder.Mattie threw her arms around his neck. "I'm keeping him." She declared， "I'm calling him Pretty Dog."
      To Mattie，he was Pretty Dog.She talked to him，played with him and fed him secretly.He responded by following her like a shadow when no one else was around.To the rest of us，he was Stray dog.We did everything we could to chase him away，but he kept coming back.One day， Dad accidentally caught Mattie sneaking Stray Dog a piece of leftover roast meat. "Mattie!Get away from That Dog!" Dad shouted，"Where's your common sense，girl？We don't waste good food on stray animals.You see That Dog again，you send him away!" So，Stray Dog became That Dog.
      One cold winter day，Dad set off to go ice fishing.Mattie had begged to go，but Dad said no. "you'll only fuss （对…大惊小怪）about cold，" he said，tweaking （捏，扯）her pigtail （辫子）. "I want to do some serious fishing."
      Dad came home a few hours later. "Got some fine ones，" he shouted from the porch. "Come see!" Ma and I came out."Where's Mattie？" Dad asked.Ma and I looked at each other in confusion，both thinking Mattie was with the other.Then，Ma strode to the closet. "Her coat and boots are gone." Ma turned to Dad with troubled eyes， "Maybe she went after you." Worry lines creased （弄皱）Dad's face. "She never came to the lake.Come on，we need to find her."
