甘肃省靖远县第四中学2022届上学期第一检测英语题Word版含解析

高三毕业班英语试卷 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分：阅读理解（共两节；满分40分） 第一节：（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A The U.S. has countless secret swimming holes throughout most states, many of which you’ve likely never heard of unless you’re from the area. Havasu Falls (Arizona) This attractive waterfall in the Grand Canyon is undoubtedly a destination spot requiring a 10-mile walk to the falls. You can take a guided tour to the falls, or make it on your own. The Havasu Falls are on the Havasupai Indian Reservation, which means you’ll need to get a permit to visit — this has become increasingly difficult as more people discover this hidden place. Homestead Crater (Utah) The Homestead Crater is hidden under a rock dome(圆顶) with an opening at the top that allows for sunlight and air. It was once only accessible by that top opening, but there is now easy access through a side path for visitors. Go for a swim in this beautiful mineral water spring. Hamilton Pool (Austin) Hamilton Pool was created when an underground river’s roof fell down suddenly; exposing what is now the swimming hole and creating a 50-foot waterfall that flows over the above limestone(石灰岩). You’ll have to reserve beforehand to gain entry to the Hamilton Pool Preserve. Chutes and Ladders (Maui) To get to this secret swimming hole, you’ll have to take a rope 40 feet down the face of a cliff, and then climb down about 8 feet of lava rock to the pool. Once there, however, you’ll be glad you made the journey. The swimming hole is on the edge of the ocean — a natural pool, you could say — with a depth that invites you to jump in without crowds of people around to watch. 1. What is a must if you visit Havasu Falls? A. A car. B. A guide. C. A permit. D. A stick. 2 How do visitors enter Homestead Crater now? A. By swimming. B. Through the top. C. Through the side. D.

It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand. One day, I was shadowing（跟随）my mother. She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic（模仿）her mouth’s movements until I formed a word. It turned out I’m deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I’ve never lived in a state of self-hating sorrow. Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That’s my reality when I sleep on my “good ear”, and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes. People call my deaf side my “bad ear”, but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don’t. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors. Owning a hearing aid hasn’t always felt good, however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show-and-tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, “Aren’t those for old men?” At that moment, I felt different. It took me a long time to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers. But it’s not just school kids who can make us deaf and hard-of-hearing people feel like burdens. Every video on social media that lacks subtitles（字幕）, for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find. And with hearing aids costing around $2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to the things that others take for granted. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations – I’m lucky. I’m deaf, but I can still hear everything. I’ve been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And when it comes to sleeping, I’m even superhuman. 4. How does the author view his hearing difficulty? A. It’s a disaster and causes him a lot of trouble. B. It gave him a chance to experience something special. C. It made him feel embarrassed in front of his classmates. D. It helped him to live in his own world without being interrupted. 5. What can be inferred from the passage about the author? A. He was born deaf. B. He is optimistic and helpful. C. The hearing aid brings convenience to his daily life. D. His family and classmates have suppo
