2021年遼寧省撫順市中加正楓學(xué)校高三英語(yǔ)期末試卷含解析一、選擇題1._____totheresearchworkinthelabisadistinguishedexpertfromChinawhohaswongreatachievementsinthisfield.A.Committed

B.HavingbeencommittedC.Havingcommitted

D.Beingcommitted參考答案：A【分析】考查完全倒裝。句意：在實(shí)驗(yàn)室全身心地致力于這項(xiàng)工作的是一位杰出的中國(guó)專(zhuān)家，他在這一領(lǐng)域取得了巨大的成就的。【詳解】本句可改為AdistinguishedexpertfromChinawhohaswongreatachievementsinthisfield.iscommittedtotheresearchworkinthelab。主語(yǔ)是adistinguishedexpert,后面被一定語(yǔ)從句whohaswongreatachievementsinthisfield修飾,is是系動(dòng)詞，committedtotheresearchworkinthelab是表語(yǔ)。本句為避免頭重腳輕，使用了完全倒裝。即把表語(yǔ)+系動(dòng)詞+主語(yǔ)。Becommittedtodoingsth為固定搭配，意為“致力于做某事，全身心做某事”。所以C項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。而B(niǎo)項(xiàng)一般作狀語(yǔ)，D項(xiàng)表動(dòng)作正在進(jìn)行，或做主語(yǔ)時(shí)才用。故選A項(xiàng)。2.Thetreatywillnotonlybenefitthetwocountriesandpeoplesbutalso_______worldpeace.

B.eachofwhich

C.allofthem

D.eachofthem參考答案：B考查定語(yǔ)從句

句意：英語(yǔ)是由幾個(gè)不同的文化共享的一種語(yǔ)言，每種語(yǔ)言使用的方式都不同。如果空格前加and則構(gòu)成并列句，D正確，逗號(hào)后沒(méi)有and，判斷是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是uses，所以主語(yǔ)應(yīng)該是單數(shù)，故選B。7.Fromfacts,scientistshave

49.A

50.D這是一篇說(shuō)明文。本文介紹了借助食物網(wǎng)的數(shù)學(xué)模型，科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些在食物網(wǎng)運(yùn)營(yíng)的關(guān)鍵原則。科學(xué)家們說(shuō);因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)生態(tài)系統(tǒng)越過(guò)了它的臨界點(diǎn)，它們很難再回來(lái)。該系統(tǒng)將告訴我們何時(shí)適應(yīng)人類(lèi)活動(dòng)，這些活動(dòng)正將生態(tài)系統(tǒng)推向崩潰，或者甚至允許我們將生態(tài)系統(tǒng)從邊緣拉回來(lái)，預(yù)防是關(guān)鍵。【46題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的Withsuchmodels,scientistshavefoundoutsomekeyprinciplesoperatinginfoodwebs.可知，借助食物網(wǎng)的數(shù)學(xué)模型，科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)了食物網(wǎng)中的一些關(guān)鍵原則。故選B。【47題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的Whenapredator(掠食動(dòng)物)alwayseatshugenumbersofasingleprey(獵物)，thetwospeciesarestronglylinked可知，當(dāng)捕食者總是吃大量的單一獵物，這兩個(gè)物種是緊密相連的。故選C。【48題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的Inthe1960s,scientistsproposedthatpredatorsatthetopofafoodwebhad,asurprisingamountofcontroloverthesizeofpopulationsofotherspeciestheydidnotdirectlyattack可知，處于食物網(wǎng)頂端的食肉動(dòng)物對(duì)它們沒(méi)有直接攻擊的其他物種的種群數(shù)量有著驚人的控制，由此可推斷出，如果食物鏈頂級(jí)食肉動(dòng)物的數(shù)量大大下降，其他物種的種群將經(jīng)歷意想不到的變化。故選D。【49題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的Ideallythesystemwouldtelluswhentoadapthumanactivitiesthatarepushinganecosystemtowardabreakdownorwouldevenallowustopullanecosystembackfromtheborderline可知，人類(lèi)過(guò)度的活動(dòng)會(huì)將生態(tài)系統(tǒng)推向崩潰，由此可推斷出，不受控制的人類(lèi)活動(dòng)極大地破壞了生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。故選A。【50題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的Scientistshavebuiltanearly-warmingsystembasedonmathematicalmodels.Ideallythesystemwouldtelluswhentoadapthumanactivitiesthatarepushinganecosystemtowardabreakdownorwouldevenallowustopullanecosystembackfromtheborderline.可知，早期變暖系統(tǒng)發(fā)出緊急需要采取預(yù)防行動(dòng)的信號(hào)幫助我們維持生態(tài)平衡。故選D。19.Ihaveonlyoncebeenintroublewiththelaw．Thewholeprocessofbeingarrestedandtakentocourtwasaratherunpleasantexperienceatthetime,butitmakesagoodstorynow．Whatmakesitratherdisturbingwasthearbitrary（隨意的）circumstancesbothofmyarrestandmysubsequent（隨后的）fateincourt．IthappenedinFebruaryabouttwelveyearsago．IhadleftschoolacoupleofmonthsbeforethatandwasnotduetogotouniversityuntilthefollowingOctober．Iwasstilllivingathomeatthetime．OnemorningIwasinRichmond,asuburbofLondonnearwhereIlived．IwaslookingforatemporaryjobsothatIcouldsaveupsomemoneytogotraveling．AsitwasafinedayandIwasinnohurry,Iwastakingmytime,lookinginshopwindows,strollinginthepark,andsometimesjuststoppingandlookingaroundme．Itmusthavebeenthisobviousainilessnessthatledtomydownfall．Itwasabouthalfpastelevenwhenithappened．Iwasjustwalkingoutofthelocallibrary,havingunsuccessfullysoughtemploymentthere,whenIsawamanwalkingacrosstheroadwiththeobviousintentionoftalkingtome．Ithoughthewasgoingtoaskmethetime．Instead,hesaidhewasapoliceofficerandhewasarrestingme．AtfirstIthoughtitwassomekindofjoke．Butthenanotherpolicemanappeared,thistimeinuniform,andIwasleftinnodoubt．'Butwhatfor?"Iasked．‘Wanderingwithintenttocommitanarrestableoffence,'hesaid．‘Whatoffence?'Iasked．'Theft,'hesaid．'Theftofwhat?'Iasked．'Milkbottles,'hesaid,andwithaperfectlystraightfacetoo!'Oh,'Isaid．Itturnedouttherehadbeenalotofpettytheftsinthearea,particularlythatofstealingmilkbottlesfromdoorsteps．ThenImademybigmistake．AtthetimeIwasnineteen,hadlonguntidyhair,andregardedmyselfaspanofthesixties''youthcounterculture'．Asaresult,Iwantedtoappearcoolandunconcernedwiththeincident,soIsaid,'Howlonghaveyoubeenfollowingme?
