2022-2023学年广东省广州市荔湾区广东实验中学高三（上）第一次周测英语试卷

阅读下列短文， 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中， 选出最佳选项.

• 1．The books we read when we're young have a special sort of power：they can inspire us to be brave and resilient （Matilda by Roald Dahi），take us on thrilling adventures （Divergent by Veronica Roth）and even introduce us to tragedy （The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson）.They're as formative as anything else in our young lives，and sometimes they're the first place we encounter larger-than-life ideas.Consider the lasting cultural import of To Kill a Mockingbird or even the urgency of a newer best seller like I'll Give You the Sun，Jandy Nelson's 2014 novel centering on a contradictory issue.In The Magic Words，Cheryl B.Klein，an executive editor at Scholastic whose projects include the last two Harry Potter books，sets out to inform would-be writers on how great novels for young readers work.
     The market for YA novels is booming：sales in the children's and YA sector have been neck and neck with those of adult books in recent years，and adult authors，including Meg Wolitzer （Belzhar） and Carl Hiaasen （Razor Girl），are getting in on the phenomenon.Magic Words aims to be a master class.If you think it sounds silly，it isn't.In the era of elevated self-help sensations like Marie Kondo and Breníé Brown，The Magic Words is of a piece.
     Klein deconstructs the seemingly obvious（clear plotlines，sympathetic characters）to reveal the technical intricacies of some beloved classics.L.M.Montgomery surely didn't whip up Anne of Green Gables as a cash-in endeavor.But for those who want to capitalize，Anne is instructive：what's timeless and broadly appealing about Anne - her teenage heart and impulses - is what to examine.Once you understand that.Klein encourages you to get personal：What makes you ideal to write your story？And what does it mean to the reader？
     On the latter question，The Magic Words is more than a handbook.It is also a timely social commentary on the responsibility YA writers have to young adults.Those who write to a younger demographic must start with an awareness of their readers - not only their age but also how they might connect with the issues，both the mundane （bullies） and the cultural （tolerance） that characters face.The narratives we tell young readers can influence how they understand and value the world around jye.aim.The magic isn't in the words：it's in how the words come together to reflect and affirm the realities of a diverse young-adult experience.

• 2．Have you ever had the feeling that you can't think when there is too much noise around Did you ever think a fish could experience that feeling too？A recent published paper，combined over 10，000 scientific papers，confirms that undersea life knows that exact same feeling，more often than not.Anthropogentic ocean noise，also known as underwater noise pollution，has created a huge impact on sea life due to "human-caused" activity within and neighboring our oceans.
     The film Finding Nemo educated us about the ocean，and specifically within the ordinary world of a clown fish.A fact many may not know is that clown fish spend the first part of their lives as larvae（幼虫），moving slowly with the current of the ocean until they become strong enough to swim against it.Once they are powerful and strong，they head home in sheltered coral reefs.There is only one drawback—the fish can't physically see the reef，but they can hear it.The only problem is，if they can't hear it，will they ever make it home？
     Our ocean noise，such as cargo ships，ship and boat propellers（螺旋桨），surfing，deep sea mining，etc.jye.ai causing destruction of sea life.Some researches found that sound is the sensory signal that travels the farthest through the ocean.The ocean noise drowns out the natural soundscapes，putting sea life under great stress.Altogether，this stress then affects their general health，disturb their behavior，reproduction and，in extreme cases causes death.Marine life can adapt to noise pollution，however，only if they can escape it This only causes further complications of straying（使偏离）species from their traditional breeding regions or separating them from their families.
     Now，what if we told you there is already a solution？Multiple ways，ideas and designs are currently in the works or already exist to remove the damage of the ocean noise.As the previous research explains，from wind-powered ships to noise-reducing propellers，a great many solutions are already available and in some cases，cost-effective.The authors of the paper hope it will catch the attention form the society.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "Anthropogentic" probably mean？

  
  A．Produced by nature.
  B．Caused by ocean lives.
  C．Related to human beings.
  D．Made by underwater activities.
  （2）The author mentioned the clown fish in paragraph 2 is to

  .
  A．educate us to protect sea-life
  B．introduce the film Finding Nemo
  C．illustrate the harmful effect of ocean noise
  D．show how terrible their living conditions are
  （3）Which of the following solutions is already available according to paragraph 4？

  
  A．The noise control techniques.
  B．The attention from the society.
  C．The application of relevant laws.
  D．The restriction of human activities.
  （4）What's the tone of the passage？

  
  A．Narrative and serious.

• 8．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
      Two men，both seriously ill，occupied the same hospital room.One man called Ben was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.His bed was next to the room's only window.The other man，Leo，had to spend all his time flat on his back.
      The men talked for hours on end.They spoke of their wives and families，their homes，their jobs，their involvement in the military service，where they had been on vacation.
      And every afternoon when Ben sat up，he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.Leo began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and lightened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
      The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats.Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow.Grand old trees graced the landscape，and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.As Ben described all this in exquisite detail，Leo would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
      One warm afternoon Ben sat up with his elbows and described a parade（巡游）passing by.Although Leo couldn't hear the band-he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.Each time the nurse saw the warm and touching scene，she was always struck by devoted friendship between these two men.Days and weeks passed.
  注意：
  1.续写词数应为150左右；
  2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
  One morning，the nurse arrived to check the two men，only to find the lifeless body of Ben.__________
  However，he could see nothing but a blank wall of another building.__________
