2024 宁波中学高一上 12 月月考英语试卷

第一节阅读理解(共12 题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 30 分)

TAMPA, Fla,—At USF, 21-year-old Alexander Mercier of Odessa, majored in mathematics and

microbiology, which leads him to start important research that may make him the school’s first Rhodes Scholar.

“I would say I am stubborn,” explained Mercier, who could hear as early as Saturday if he gets the honor. He

says the honor is due to more than just brains. Instead, it was determination that made him an accomplished

pianist. He says his biggest natural talent was drawing and he also has a love of art. But it was math that attracted

him and he wouldn’t let go. He was studying how math may help control the spread of diseases.

“I would sleep on the couch next to the computer,” he said. “I saw a gap in epidemiological (流行病学的)

research in the study of how diseases spread. I didn’t know at the time that it would become one of the most

important topics in the world.”

While his work is timely and important, there’s lots of competition. Eleven other finalists from this region of

the country are also vying for the honor. They attend schools like MIT, Stanford and the University of Chicago.

Mercier owes it to his school that he can have as good a chance as any of the others and he feels that USF has

prepared him well. If he doesn’t win the honor and get to study expense-free at Oxford, he says he’ll have many

options. “I will continue to do the work that I enjoy and that I think will benefit people,” he said.

Some are surprised that USF hasn’t had a previous Rhodes Scholar. However, many schools haven’t had one.

Only 32 are selected each year from across the nation. USF has only been in existence since 1956. By contrast, the

first classes at Oxford were held in 1096.

1. Why did Mercier choose to major in mathematics and microbiology?

A. He saw its bright future. B. He has a passion for math.

C. He wants to win the honor. D. He is talented in this field.

2. Which expression can best replace the underlined phrase “vying for”?

A. Hunting for. B. Applying for.

C. Allowing for. D. Competing for.

3. What can we infer about Mercier?

A. He will study art at Oxford. B. He tries to become a pianist.

C. He is grateful to his school. D. He studies how diseases exist.

4. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. A senior could be USF’s first Rhodes Scholar.

B. 32 students are selected for Rhodes Scholar.

C. Math may help control the spread of diseases.

D. A senior found the most vital topics in the world.

About 2.6 billion people globally — 38% of the world population — are already overweight or obese. But on

current trends that is expected to rise to more than 4 billion people (51%) in 12 years’ time, according to research

by the World Obesity Federation.

Without widespread use of taxes and limits on the promotion of unhealthy food, the number of people who

are clinically obese will increase from one in seven today to one in four by 2035. If that happens, almost 2 billion

people worldwide would be living with obesity (肥胖) .

Judging from appearance seems to be vague. Those with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 are judged to be

overweight, while people whose BMI is at least 30 are claimed to be obese. Evidence shows that obesity increases

someone’s risk of cancer, heart disease and other diseases.

Obesity among children and young people is on course to increase faster than among adults. By 2035 it is

expected to be at least double the rate seen in 2020, according to the federation’s latest annual World Obesity Atlas

report. It is expected to rise by 100% among boys under 18, leaving 208 million affected, but go up even more

sharply — by 125% — among girls the same age, which would see 175 million of them affected.

Prof Louise Baur, the federation’s president, said the findings were a clear warning that by failing to address

obesity today, we risk serious hits in the future. “It is especially worrying to see obesity rates rising fastest among

teenagers and adolescents.” he put it seriously. “Governments and policymakers around the world need to do all

they can to avoid passing health, social and economic costs on to the younger generation,” Baur added.

The World Obesity Federation wants governments to use tax systems; restrictions on the marketing of foods

that are high in fat, salt or sugar; front-of-pack labels; and provision of healthy food in schools to address rising

obesity.

5. What does the underlined word “that” refer to?

A. The disconnection between people and food.

B. The preferences of many overweight people.

C. The sharp increase of clinically obese people.

D. The lack of taxes and unhealthy food restrictions.

6. According to the passage, in what way can we differ overweight groups and obese groups more scientifically?

A. Figures of body mass index. B. Risk of obesity-related diseases.

C Appearance and body shape. D. Official data of obesity rates.

7. What’s Prof Louise Baur’s attitude towards the findings?

A. Unclear. B. Hopeful. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful.

8. What’s the text mainly about?

A. It is policymakers’ responsibilities to control the overweight trend.

B. More than, half of humans are on track to be overweight or obese by 2035.

C. The World Obesity Federation is a pioneer solving the problem of obesity.

D. Rising obesity globally is being driven by factors such as poor tax systems.

If you want to tell the history of the whole world,a history that does not favor one part of humanity, you

cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts,while most of the world, for

most of the time,has not. Writing is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many

literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.

Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just

that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is

perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook’s adventure and the Australian Aboriginals. From

the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day. From the

Australian side,we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot.

If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as

deeply and strictly as the written reports.

In addition to the problem of misunderstanding from both sides,there are victories accidentally or deliberately
