2022-2023学年黑龙江省哈尔滨三中高三（上）第二次月考英语试卷

第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

• 1．Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world，famous for its beautiful canals，top art museums，cycling culture and so on.It is the capital city of the Netherlands and often referred to as the "Venice of the North" because of its expansive system of bridges and canals.Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.
     Must-See Attractions
     Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre，which is full of traditional architecture，shopping centers，and coffee shops.You'll also want to check out Amsterdam's Museum Quarter in the South District，which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark.The top museums to visit there are the Rijksmusuem，the Ann Frank House，and the Van Gogh Museum.
     If You Have Time
    There are several other unique districts in Amsterdam，and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows.The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a center for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.The Plantage area has most of the city's museums and the botanical gardens.
     Money Saving Tips
     ●Unless you really want to see the tulips（郁金香） blooming，avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May.This is when hotel and flight prices rise.
     ●Look for accommodations in Amsterdam's South District，where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.
     ●Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.
     ●Instead of hiring a tour guide，hop on a canal boat.They're inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.
     Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights，hotels，and rental cars before you book.

• 2．It was late on a Thursday evening in Austin，Texas，and I had just finished my shift downtown waiting tables.I hopped into my truck and headed away from the chaos to my own personal oasis，Dan's Depot.It was on a four-lane road that went straight from the heart of Austin to West Texas.Once，Dan's Depot had been outside of the city.But with Austin's population growing and the city's expansion，it was swallowed up by high-rise buildings and skyscrapers.
     I've been familiar with Dan's Depot since I played my first show there.Like most waiters in Austin，I'm actually a musician.The woman who welcomes customers is Dan's wife Maude.
     I slid my truck into the last free spot and headed to the door. "How's it going，Maude？" I asked. "David，I just don't know what we're going to do，" she said. "Our contract with the landlord is up for renewal at the end of the month，and he has doubled the rent.Even if we charged twice as much for the snacks and shows，we could never make ends meet."
     My heart dropped.On some level，I'd been expecting to hear this news for as long as I'd been coming to Dan's Depot.After all，Dan's Depot was now sandwiched between a shop selling yoga pants to people who could afford personal trainers and a luxury furniture store where even a simple dining chair cost more than S1，000.How could this little live music bar survive with those kinds of neighbors？
     "What are you going to do with this place？Are you moving？" I asked.She shook her head slowly. "I just don't know.Dan and I are not as young as we used to be."
     I patted her on the shoulder and made my way to the tables near the stage.Memories sprung up in my mind.Most of my musical ideas came to me while I was watching live shows here at Dan's Depot.When the song ended，I got up and went back to Maude.
     "What if I run the new Dan's Depot？" I asked her.She stared at me，surprised.
     "Hear me out，" I said. "I've got enough money to go in with you and Dan as a third partner.I know the Texas music scene in and out，and I can get the best new bands in here every jye.aiek.We'll move it way down South Congress Avenue，where it's still close enough to be accessible from downtown but the rent is more affordable.And most importantly，this place means a lot to me."
     Maude was still staring at me silently.I began to grow uneasy.Had I offended her？I started apologizing.She cut me off with a huge embrace. "Honey，I think that's a fantastic idea."
  
  （1）The underlined word "oasis" in Paragraph 1 refers to a place where the author

  .
  A．parks his truck
  B．finds joy and relaxation
  C．works full-time
  D．grabs a meal at night
  （2）Why did the author say he had long expected to hear the news Maude told him？

  
  A．He pointed out Dan's Depot was in poor management.
  B．He felt the sandwiches in Dan's Depot were too expensive.
  C．He thought Dan's Depot was out of tune with its surroundings.
  D．He suggested Dan and Maude retire early and enjoy their lives.
  （3）What does the author advise Maude to do？

  
  A．Sell Dan's Depot to him.
  B．Hire him as a lead singer.
  C．Find another way to run the business.
  D．Advertise for a third partner.
  （4）Which statement is probably true according to the passage？

  
  A．The author's words offended Maude.
  B．The author gave his advice immediately.
  C．The author worked as a waiter in Dan's Depot.
  D．The author drew musical inspiration from Dan's Depot.

• 3．Please don't feel singled out，special，or view yourself as a chosen one.She bites everyone.This is just the nature of the beast.There is absolutely no truth to the persistent myths that mosquitoes fancy females over males；that they prefer blondes and redheads over those with darker hair；or that the darker or rougher your skin，the safer you are from her bjye.aie.It is true，however，that she does play favorites and feasts on some more than others.
     Blood type O seems to be the choice over types A and B or AB.People with blood type O get bitten twice as often as those with type A，with type B falling somewhere in between.
     Those who have higher natural levels of certain chemicals in their skin，particularly lactic acid（乳酸），also seem to be more attractive.From these elements，she can analyze which blood type you are.These are the same chemicals that determine an individual's level of skin bacteria and unique body smell.
     Mosquitoes are also attracted by perfumes，soaps，and other applied fragrances.While this may seem unfair to many of you，she also has a desire for beer drinkers.
     Wearing bright colors is also not a wise choice，since she hunts by both sight and smell，the latter depending chiefly on the amount of carbon dioxide sent out by the potential target.So she can smell carbon dioxide from over 200 feet away.When you exercise，for example，you emit more carbon dioxide through both breath and output.You also sweat，releasing those appetizing chemicals，primarily lactic acid，that invites the mosquito's attention.
     Lastly，your body temperature rises，which is an easily identifiable heat signature.On average，pregnant women suffer twice as many bites，as they have a slightly raised body temperature.
     Please don't go on a shower，exercise or give up your beloved beer and bright T-shirts just yet. Unfortunately，85% of what makes you attractive to mosquitoes is fixed in advance in your genetic circuit board（电路板）.
     At the end of the day，she will find blood from any exposed target of opportunity.
  
  （1）What is the purpose of the first paragraph？

  
  A．To explain the reasons for mosquito bites.
  B．To introduce a new discovery to the readers.
  C．To prove that everyone suffers mosquito bites.
  D．To arouse the interest of the readers in the topic.
  （2）Which element has nothing to do with mosquito bites？

  
  A．Blood type.
  B．Chemicals of bacteria.
  C．Color of clothes.
  D．Body temperature.
  （3）What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean？

  
  A．All the mosquito bites are caused by your genetic circuit board.
  B．Your blood will be targeted by mosquitoes at every opportunity.
  C．Mosquito bites can be avoided if you give up some relevant habits.
  D．Your genes determine your attractiveness to mosquitoes to a great extent.
  （4）What is the most suitable title for the passage？

  
  A．Keep off Mosquitoes
  B．Mosquito Bites Let Nobody off
  C．Why are You a Mosquito Feeder
  D．Mosquitoes，a Threat to Our Health

• 4．Quite often，no matter how good you are，your success is dependent on how other people such as your boss，peers，clients and customers perceive your communication and responses．So when you come to people who make the key difference between helping you or holding you back，how can you influence and persuade them to give what you want．
     Psychological research repeatedly show that people generally make up their minds on whether to help or hinder you based on whether they like you or not．It is human nature．What can you do about it？You need to make a good impression on others to ensure they like you and give you what you want．Research again shows that people give opportunities to the people they like best．In fact，most people actually make up their minds about other people in the first five minutes or less of meeting someone．These are called first impressions or "moments of truth．"
     Once they make up their minds，they tend to be very reluctant to change their opinions．You hardly have room for error when making that first impression on a new acquaintance．Therefore，whether you are applying for a job，going for an interview，attending a meeting with your boss or peers，or serving a customer，you need to prepare yourself mentally and rehearse how you will manage the first few minutes of your interaction．This includes doing your homework to gather information and researching all possible issues so you will know how to address them should the other party raise them unexpectedly．
     It is amazing how poorly some people can come across at the beginning．The worst thing is that they do not even seem to realize it．Having good qualifications and an excellent work performance does not excuse candidates from trying to make good first impression．
  
  （1）What is the passage mainly about？

  
  A．Making a good first impression
  B．People making the key difference
  C．Winning strategies for a job interview
  D．Persuading people to like you
  （2）Which of the following is the way by which people tend to decide whether to like other people or not？

  
  A．They make quick decisions
  B．They prefer people who are experienced
  C．They change their opinions frequently
  D．They pay much attention to good qualifications
  （3）Which of the following strategies might help in an interview according to the author？

  
  A．Ask the interviewers for homework to do．
  B．Know as much as possible about the situation．
  C．Show your friendliness and confidence．
  D．Do something unexpected to impress interviewers．
  （4）What will probably be talked about in the next part of the passage？

  
  A．Questions that might be asked by the interviewers．
  B．Examples of how good first impressions help people succeed．
  C．How to win over people who don't like you at first．
  D．Some practical advice to help making a good first impression．

• 5．Volunteering to take care of neighborhood pets is a great way for kids to learn responsibility.
     Ideas for getting started
     Have your kids make flyers （传单） to place around the neighborhood，showcasing their willingness to help out by caring for neighborhood pets.A flyer may be as simple as a picture to which you add the words.（1）

  .
     Helping out
     Your children can volunteer for small pet-sitting jobs that are easy for both you and them to manage.（2）

  .You can accompany your children，while also allowing them to take the leash （牵狗绳） and lead the way.
     Learning opportunities
     Offering activities，like animal caretaking，benefits little animals and your children at the same time.（3）

  .For example，the tropical fish you are feeding for friends can offer a wonderful platform for researching their natural habitat.
     Emotional benefits of animals
     The benefits of interaction between children and animals go beyond the physical aspect，as well.（4）

  .Children learn to make emotional connections through the love that animals provide.Having children care for pets also provides an opportunity to discuss emotions children often struggle to understand.
     （5）

  .Offer positive affirmations （肯定） to your children to underline the additional exercise they are also enjoying from this responsibility，so they will also recognize that there is a healthy connection.When you praise your children's willingness to take on this kind of new responsibility，you can be assured that it will eventually be translated in a very positive way to the world around them.
  
  A.Pets also meet many psychological needs
  B.Young children can benefit from the difficult actions
  C.Small tasks can allow parents to gain a sense of understanding
  D.Use these opportunities to teach your kids about a new creature
  E.Also encourage them to come up with their own ideas for flyers
  F.Walking gentle dogs is both safe and rewarding for the young caretakers
