2023--2024 学年度高三上期第四次段考

英语试题

第二部分阅读理解(共两节, 满分 50 分)

第一节(共15 小题：每小题 2. 5 分,满分 37. 5 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。

The Junction Campground

The Junction Campground is a great spot for river-based camping along one of Australia’s best-known

rivers, near Grafton. Paddling the beautiful Nymboida River is a great way to explore the rainforest-lined

riverbanks and rocky cliffs of Nymboi-Binderay National Park.

Craigmhor Mountain Retreat

Set in 1, 000 acres of wilderness, Craigmhor is a perfect base for bush walking, mountain biking,

fishing, and bird watching. Within easy driving distance of Sydney, Craigmhor is the ideal location for

overseas visitors or urban people to experience the Australian bush.

The Stone Cottage

Said to be Albury’s oldest house, the Stone Cottage warmly welcomes visitors with its exposed stone

walls and an open fireplace. Set well back from the street in a spacious enclosed garden (ideal for pets), the

two-bedroom self-contained house is perfect for small families and couples.

Located behind the main home, the Stone Cottage’s Kitchen Cottage turns on the charm as much as the

larger house. Private from the main house, the one-bedroom self-contained cottage has a veranda ( 游廊 )

which looks out over an established herb garden, ideal for couples.

Instead of asking guests to wake at a certain time for a prepared breakfast, guests of both cottages

receive a selection of breakfast cuisines as they like, allowing sleep-ins and lazy mornings.

Pets are welcome.

Country Barn Retreat

Situated in a peaceful location and perfect for short stays, Elaine and John offer this amazing

self-contained two-bedroom Country Barn Retreat, overlooking rural views and surrounded by lovely

gardens.

Sleeping up to four adults in this comfortable cottage where you can relax by the cosy wood fire in

winter.

Fully equipped kitchen. Lounge and dining area with air-conditioning and fans to keep it cool in

summer. Pet friendly, however, you would need to make arrangements with Elaine or John first.

B. Craigmhor Mountain Retreat.

C. The Junction Campground.

D. Country Barn Retreat.

2. What can be learned about the Stone Cottage?

A. It lacks an open fireplace.

B. It’s building a herb garden.

C. It has three bedrooms in all.

D. It provides a well-prepared breakfast.

3. What’s special about the last two destinations?

Just about 50 years ago,needing money to support my family—my novels weren't best-sellers—I had

the idea of taking the longest train trip imaginable and writing a travel book about it.The trip was

improvisational(即兴的).I didn't have a credit card.I had no idea where I'd be staying nor how long this trip

would take.And I'd never written a travel book before.I hoped my trip wouldn't suffer a lot,though it was

obviously a leap in the dark.

I set off with one small bag containing clothes,a map of Asia,a travel guidebook and some travelers'

cheques. I was often inconvenienced,sometimes threatened,now and then disturbed for bribes,occasionally

laid up with food poisoning—all this vivid detail for my narrative.

What I repeated in the more than four-month trip was the pleasure of the sleeping car.Writing on board

the Khyber Mail to Lahore in Pakistan,"The romance associated with the sleeping car comes from the fact

that it is extremely private,combining the best features of a cupboard with forward movement.Whatever

drama is being shown in this moving bedroom is heightened by the landscape passing the window..."A train

is a carrier that allows residence.

I wrote The Great Railway Bazaar on my return in 1974,and it appeared to good reviews and quick

sales.That's the past.Nothing is the same.All travel is time-related.All such trips are singular（独一无二的）

and unrepeatable.It's not just that the steam trains of Asia are gone, but much of the peace and order is

gone.Who'd risk an Iranian train now or take a bus through Afghanistan?

But I've been surprised by some of the more recent developments in travel.I rode on Chinese trains for a

year and wrote Riding the Iron Rooster,but now China has much cleaner and swifter trains and modernized

destinations.A traveler today could take the same trip I took in 1986-87 and produce a completely different

book.

All travel books are dated.That's their fault that they're outdated,and it's their virtue that they preserve

something of the past that would otherwise be lost.

4.What happened at the beginning of the author's trip to Asia?

A.He made full preparations for the trip.

B.He had expected the journey to be rough.

A.The landscape in Asia was gone.

B. Train trip was no longer popular.

C.He couldn't write another bestseller.

D. Transportation and travel had changed a lot.

7.Which of the following statements would the author most likely agree with?

A. Practice makes perfect.

B.Sharp tools make good work.

C.Travel,truth is not the arrival card.

D.The journey, not the arrival matters.

Happiness, as I see it, comprises five elements: spiritual well-being(meaning and purpose), physical

well-being (nutrition, exercise), intellectual well-being (curiosity, deep learning), relational well-being

(kindness and generosity), and emotional well-being(cultivating positive emotions). As an interdependent

aggregate of these five elements of SPIRE, happiness is about much more than experiencing pleasure.

As Aristotle put it, happiness is the ultimate purpose of life, meaning how we spend our everyday lives

is ultimately guided by what we think would make us happier. This is not a good or a bad thing. It simply is,

like the law of nature. Even people who are tirelessly working for an important cause, for example, to get rid

of world hunger, are doing it because they find their work meaningful. Meaning is an element of happiness.

One barrier to happiness has to do with the expectation that happiness is an unbroken chain of positive

emotions. This expectation, however, prevents people from experiencing happiness because painful emotions

don't go away but grow stronger when we reject them.

The second barrier has to do with equating happiness with success. It's a commonly held belief that

happiness can be attained by achieving certain goals, like money or fame. People tend to think if they finally

find success, they will automatically become happy.

The third barrier has to do with the way people pursue happiness. We want to be happy for many

reasons. After all, we are constantly told that happiness is good for our health, relationships, and work

outcomes. Yet, if I wake up in the morning and decide to pursue happiness straight, I will become less happy.

But how? Indirectly. As is known, if you look up at the sun directly, you'll hurt yourself. But if you take

the same sun rays and break them down, you'll enjoy the colors of a rain--bow. Similarly, pursuing happiness

directly can hurt us; pursuing it indirectly—by breaking it down into something like the SPIRE

elements—can contribute to our well-being. Starting a meditation practice, exercising, performing acts of

kindness, learning something new, or ex-pressing gratitude for what we have are all indirect ways of

pursuing happiness.

8. What does the underlined. word“aggregate”probably mean in the first paragraph?

A. Combination. B. Conclusion. C. Accumulation. D. Association.

9. What's the author's attitude towards how we spend our daily lives?

A. Favorable. B. Suspicious. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.

10.What can we know from the text?

A.Being a success leads one to happiness.

B.Refusing negative feelings helps us obtain happiness.

C.Going after happiness directly makes one feel happy.

D.Pursuing one aspect of SPIRE can boost our well-being.

11.Why is the sun mentioned in the last paragraph?

A.To make a contrast.

B.To make an analogy(类比).

C.To conclude the argumentation.

D.To answer the previous question.

You are what you eat—and what you eat may be encoded in your DNA. Studies have indicated that

your genetics play a role in determining the foods you find delicious or disgusting. “Everything has a genetic

component, even if it's small,”says Joanne Cole, a geneticist and a professor at the University of Colorado

School of Medicine.“We know there is some genetic contribution to why we eat the foods we eat. Can we

take the next step and actually show the exact position of the regions in the genome(染色体)?”

A new research led by Cole has gotten a step closer. Through a large-scale genomics（基因体学）

analysis, her team has identified 481 genome regions that were directly linked to dietary patterns and food

preferences. The findings were presented at the American Society for Nutrition's annual flagship conference.

They were based on a 2020 Nature Communications study by Cole and her colleagues that used data

from the U. K. Biobank, a public database of the genetic and health information of 500,000 participants. By

scanning genomes, the new analysis was able to home in on 194 regions associated with dietary patterns and

287 linked to specific foods such as fruit, cheese, fish, tea and alcohol.

“This study had a huge number of subjects, so that's really powerful,”says Monica Dus,an associate

professor at the University of Michigan, who wasn't a part of the new research but studies the relationship

between genes and nutrition.“The other thing that I thought was really great is that they have so many

different characteristics that they're measuring in respect to diet, They had cholesterol( 胆固醇 ), the body,

socioeconomic backgrounds.”

As the research advances, Dus says such genome analyses could possibly help health care

providers—and even policymakers—address larger issues that affect food access and health. “Instead of

trying to obsess over (专注于）telling people to eat this or that, a more powerful intervention is to link it to

making sure there aren't ‘food deserts’ or to make sure that there’s a higher minimum wage—things that have

a broader impact,”she says.
