1、吉林省松原市油田十一中2021届高三英语下学期总复习冲刺试题一、 The East African nation of Kenya has a rich tradition in distance running, but a lack of success in field events meant there was no one qualified to coach Yego, who studied the javelin(标枪) on the Internet. Yego was born in Cheptonon, a village in the Great Rift Valle
2、y, in January 1989 and grew up loving football and running, but when he was lapped(领先一圈) by two competitors in a 10,000m school race, he turned his attention elsewhere afterward. He would cut and shape a javelin from tree branches and although his parents thought he should concentrate on his studies
3、, Yego persisted and he became national junior champion. Combining his job as a policeman with training, Yego turned to the Internet, studying the technique and strength exercises the top javelin throwers employed. Neither being just 5 feet and 7 inches tall nor weighing 13 stone held Yego back. In
4、2011, he became the first Kenyan to win a field event medal at a continental meet with gold at the All-Africa Games. A year later in London he became the first African javelin thrower to reach an Olympic final, finishing 12th, a historical moment. To be an Olympian is something you will never forget
5、, he said. So when I was named in the Olympics, I was just so happy. Luckily enough I was in the finals and that just changed all my life. He was fourth at the 2013 World Championships and won the 2014 Commonwealth title before being crowned world champion in Beijing, China, a year later with what i
6、s the fifth-longest throw in history of 92. 72m. Rio 2016 arrived and Yego was leading after three throws only to suffer an ankle injury on his fourth attempt which forced him to retire, and he looked on as Thomas Rohler of Germany overtook him to seize gold. But he is not defeated and he will have
7、a chemce to improve on that at the next Olympic Games.1. Why did Yego choose to study the javelin on the Internet?A. Because he disliked his coachs training method.B. Because there were no qualified trainers for him.C. Because no one knew the javelin in his country.D. Because studying on the Interne

When was Yego crowned world champion in Beijing?A. In 2013.B. In 2014.C. In 2015.D. In 2016.二、 Environmental
9、issues are among the most pressing concerns of seaside cities around the world that hope to find a solution through technological innovation for the growing problems. In an interview, Annika Olsen, current Mayor of Torshavn, expressed severe concerns about global warming. The weather is getting warm
10、er and the temperature of the sea is increasing, which poses a huge challenge to us as a fishery region, Olsen said. Faroe Islands fishery export accounts for 98 percent of the total exports, said Olsen, adding that warming of the sea is a challenge to the economy as to the environment. We are very
11、vulnerable to changes in the climate, Olsen said. We have more rain and more extreme weather, and the snow is actually gone during wintertime. Olsen was one of over 300 mayors from about 70 countries around the world who participated in international conference MUNI EXPO this year, which was held in
12、 Tel Aviv. The city of Tel Aviv is noted as an innovative global center, which could be beneficial for cities devoting themselves to reducing global warming effects. Besides the mayors, about 8,000 participants took part in the annual international innovation convention, sponsored by the Federation
13、of Local Authorities in Israel(FLAI). Each town or city is unique, but many of the challenges we face are shared, Haim Bibas, chairman of FLAI and Mayor of Modiin, said. Coastal cities must deal with the burden of beach tourism, marine pollution, the destruction of reefs and rising sea levels and fl
14、ooding, securing ports and coastal borders. All cities must protect infrastructure(基础设施), ensure the high quality of air in urban areas, provide smart solutions for global warming, and invest in green energy, he added. About 170 companies showed their unique technology at the exhibition part of the
15、conference. Mindaugas, president of the Association of Local Authorities in Lithuania, said that there were more technologies focusing on the environment, and that could make the cities more sustainable.1.What is the Faroe Islands main income?A.Fishery.B.Agriculture.C.Industry.D.Tourism.2.Which of t

17、t in green energy.B.Coastal cities hope to be more sustainable.C.The exhibition attracted wide attention.D.Many companies focus on the unique technology for more profits.三、Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use to communicate. They say wild chimp
18、s communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a vocabulary of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this wa
19、s the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.Thats whats so amazing about chimp gestures, she said. Theyre the only thing that looks li
20、ke human language in that respect. ”Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animals call, the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestur
21、es, Dr Hobaiter said.Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signaling: Climb on me. The youngster immediately jumps on to its mothers back and they travel off together. The big
22、 message from this study is that there is another species (物种) out there. that is meaningful in its communication, so thats not unique to humans, said Dr Hobaiter.Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our
23、knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were a little disappointing.The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions, she said.
24、Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animal convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains. 1.What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter?A.Memorizing specific words.B.Understanding complex information.C.Using voices to communicate.D.Comm
25、unicating messages on purpose.2.What did Dr Shultz think of the study?A.It was well designed but poorly conducted.B.It was a good try but the findings were limited.C.It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.D.It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.3.What does the underlined word gu
26、lf in the last paragraph mean?A.Difference.B.Conflict.C.Balance.D.Connection.4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthroughB.Chimpanzees developed specific communication skillsC.Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdomD.Chi
