山东省潍坊市部分学校2022-2023学年高三下学期阶段摸底联考英语试题
学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、阅读理解
This year’s favorite books offer a mixture of advice on how to create a happier and more
compassionate society through shifting our worldview and improving our social interactions.
Bittersweet
Writer Susan Cain describes bittersweet feelings as “a tendency to states of longing and
sorrow and a curious joy at the beauty of the world”. Embracing these emotions can make our
lives more meaningful. Such feelings can create motivation to reach a renewed sense of
purpose. While sometimes unpleasant, they can spur spiritual growth and foster our
connection with others.
Platonic
“Friendships are wrongly undervalued in our society,” writes psychologist Marisa
Franco. It’s friendships that provide us with a great sense of belonging and happiness. Her
book shows us how to go about it—by reaching out, offering affection and generosity. Franco
gives practical guidance on how to manage psychological blocks to friendship, paving the
way to deeper relationships.
Happier Hour
Many people feel they don’t have enough hours to do everything they’d like to do. But
researcher Cassie Holmes shows why this attitude is wrong-headed. She encourages us to
evaluate our current use of free time and how much pleasure we get from our activities. Then,
she offers evidence-based tips on how to use time more wisely—by lessening technology use,
developing relationships and experiencing gratitude.
The Secret Life of Secrets
Is keeping a secret a bad thing? In professor Michael Slepian’s book, “People don’t like
to be alone with their thoughts, and having a secret can cause feelings of isolation and
uncertainty.” Therefore, it’s probably good to find a different way to cope, like telling your
trusting friends. Slepian offers tips on how to decide whether to keep or reveal a secret to
avoid harming relationships.
1．What does Susan Cain try to convince us in her book?
试卷第1页，共11页
A．Bitter feelings can change into sweet ones.
B．Unpleasant emotion blocks our mental growth.
C．Accepting sorrow and happiness makes us whole.
D．A sense of longing makes the beauty of the world.
2．Which book interests those who have trouble managing time?
A．Bittersweet.
C．Happier Hour.
B．Platonic.
D．The Secret Life of Secrets.
3．What aspect do Platonic and The Secret Life of Secrets both involve?
A．Pursuing wealth and health.
B．Reading to stop isolation of life.
C．Revealing a secret for stable friendship.
D．Developing interpersonal relationships.
Most of you are probably familiar with the various stories of searching alien life, but
have you heard about the scientist who was responsible for detecting the first traces of
intelligent life lurking (潜伏) throughout our galaxy? This is Frank Drake’s story.
At the age of 8, his father one day told Drake there are other worlds in space. He had no
idea that such a thing was a possibility—he thought Earth was it. It was a medieval (过时的)
attitude. So he wondered, what are they like? Are the people the same as us? Do they look the
same way we do? What’s their planet like? And of course, at that time, there was no way that
those questions could be answered in the slightest.
Later on, when he was in college, he chose the elementary astronomy course. While he
was taking that course, he went to the campus observatory, and one of the things he observed
was the planet Jupiter. Even through a small telescope, it was just very clear that it was
another world. It was not a picture in a book or something. And that converted him.
Frank Drake is mostly known for developing the Drake equation (方程式), which is a
mathematical equation that was developed to estimate the number of detectable alien
civilizations residing in the Milky Way. Drake equation takes many things into consideration
from the rate of star formation, the fraction (小部分) of stars that have planets, the number of
habitable planets circling each star, the fraction of planets that remain habitable long enough
for life to evolve all the way up to the number of civilizations that are capable of developing
technology.
试卷第2页，共11页
People always say that the search for alien life has failed. “You’ve been searching for 60
years, and you haven’t found anything. So doesn’t that say that intelligent life is very rare?”
But that’s wrong, because the amount of searching that we’ve done has hardly touched the
number of possibilities that are out there—that is, stars and radio frequencies and channels
and all of that. We’ve only covered a tiny, tiny fraction of all the possibilities.
4．What does the author try to do in the first paragraph?
A．Share some stories about alien life.
B．Lead in the topic of the whole text.
C．Introduce his research experiences.
D．Question the existence of alien life.
5．How did Drake feel when first told about other worlds in space?
A．Anxious. B．Satisfied. C．Puzzled. D．Curious.
6．What might cause Drake to choose the elementary astronomy course in college?
A．The observation of Jupiter.
B．The advice from his father.
C．A picture in a science book.
D．His great interest in alien life.
7．Which of the following views may the author agree with?
A．The intelligent life in space is rather rare.
B．Drake equation was used to detect aliens.
C．The search for aliens deserves continuing.
D．People carried out a wrong search for aliens.
On November 15, the count of humans on this planet reached 8 billion. Population
growth has been steady over the past few decades. But that pattern is gradually changing, as
is shown in the following chart.

That slowdown is partly the result of a shift toward fewer offspring. High-income
nations currently have the lowest birth rates, and the opposite is true: nations with the highest
birth rates tend to have the lowest incomes. The gap has continued to widen between wealthy
nations and poorer ones. But longer term, it is moving toward convergence(趋同).
Many factors contribute to the changes of the world’s population, such as migration,
death rate, longevity and others. Focusing on fertility(生育率), however, helpfully clarifies
why the total number of humans on Earth seems set to fall. Fertility refers to the average total
number of live births per female individual in a region or country. The U.S.’s current fertility
rate, for example, is about 1.7; China’s is 1.2. A fertility of 2.1 is considered the replacement
rate—that is, the required number of offspring, on average, for a population to hold steady.
Today birth rates in the wealthiest countries have dropped below the replacement rate, the rest
likely following suit over the coming decades.
Humanity’s future clearly depends on many things besides fertility. For example, people
in wealthier nations may produce fewer children, but those offspring tend to consume more
resources—so rich countries can still have outsize planetary impacts despite their decreasing
populations. Organizations such as the United Nations Department of Economic and Social
Affairs are working toward policy-based solutions for how all of us can have healthy,
satisfying and sustainable lives on Earth. A clear-eyed understanding of population changes is
critical for reaching that bright future.
8．Which time period may witness the slowest global population growth?
A．1960~1974. B．2037~2058. C．1987~1998. D．2022~2037.
9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The definition of fertility rate. B．The cause of the low fertility rate.
试卷第4页，共11页
C．The fertility rates in different countries. D．The impact of fertility on world
population.
10．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The richer the nations are, the higher the fertility will be.
B．The smaller the population is, the more resources are used.
C．Achieving human’s sustainable future is a challenging task.
D．Understanding population shifts can tackle the fertility issue.
11．What is the text?
A．A blog entry. B．A book review.

二、七选五
People refer to never forgetting how to ride a bike or throw a baseball as examples of
“muscle memory”, the result of a motor learning. 16 It is a phenomenon that
previously trained muscles acquire strength after a period of disuse.
Previous research has shown that the changes actually persist in the muscles themselves.
In one study of mice, the results suggest that after nuclei in muscle cells multiply in response
to an overload of training, those extra nuclei aren’t lost during subsequent periods of
inactivity. Once you have got additional nuclei, you are banking the capacity. 17
In fact, a recent study revealed that less than eight weeks of retraining were needed to
reach the post-training level. But how quickly you regain your former fitness depends on how
fit you were initially, how long the layoff was, how old you are and how long you’d been
exercising.
18 It means you still have a distinct advantage when it comes to regaining your
former level of fitness. And the principle applies to both resistance training and endurance
试卷第6页，共11页
training. The best way to regain your muscle memory is to start at a level below what you
were accustomed to doing, and then gradually increase in terms of duration, frequency, then
intensity. 19
Ultimately, muscle memory is a payoff for all the past work you put into learning a sport.
20 You will never know how much muscle memory you may have until you start training
again.
A．The best way to tap into it is to “get back on the horse”.
B．Physiologists, on the other hand, define it in a different way.
C．This convinces the researchers that muscle memory may not be long lasting.
D．That is to say, we can do the sports automatically without conscious thought.
E．It is generally safe to increase these elements by 5 percent every week or two.
F．It is evident that the more you exercise, the more muscle memory savings you will
have.
G．All this news about muscle memory is encouraging for those who fell off the fitness
scheme.

Every single one of us has a different story. It is easy to judge others based on what we
witness for a brief amount of time, but this is not what we should do.
Andre Owen is a policeman who works for the Sussex Police. He is a kind-hearted
young officer. He is always working hard and devotes himself to his duty. And on one
particular day, his shift (轮班) was proving to be one of the tough days. That day, he started to
work at around 7:05 am. It was such an early start for his duty that he had no time for
breakfast. He was called to a serious incident shortly after he began to be on duty. The
incident was in Brighton, which meant he had to go to Oxford to take care of the matter. It
was a long drive there, which took him about two hours to get there. The matter was very
hard to deal with, but he managed to settle it successfully.
After his visit to Oxford, Andre Owen drove his way back, only to find another incident
down the road. The accident involved a family who needed help, but the traffic was so
crowded that they couldn’t get through. As a result, the officer had to stop traffic to get them
to safety. At the end of it, he had 45 minutes left in his shift but he still had to drive back for
two more hours.
It was such a difficult day and he almost did not get to have time to eat. At lunchtime, he
finally had an opportunity to get food, so he went to the nearest fast food restaurant to buy
himself lunch. Just like any other customers there, the policeman was patiently waiting for his
food to arrive. A lady eating her own food, kept staring at him while he was waiting.

Every single one of us has a different story. It is easy to judge others based on what we
witness for a brief amount of time, but this is not what we should do.
Andre Owen is a policeman who works for the Sussex Police. He is a kind-hearted
young officer. He is always working hard and devotes himself to his duty. And on one
particular day, his shift (轮班) was proving to be one of the tough days. That day, he started to
work at around 7:05 am. It was such an early start for his duty that he had no time for
breakfast. He was called to a serious incident shortly after he began to be on duty. The
incident was in Brighton, which meant he had to go to Oxford to take care of the matter. It
was a long drive there, which took him about two hours to get there. The matter was very
hard to deal with, but he managed to settle it successfully.
After his visit to Oxford, Andre Owen drove his way back, only to find another incident
down the road. The accident involved a family who needed help, but the traffic was so
crowded that they couldn’t get through. As a result, the officer had to stop traffic to get them
to safety. At the end of it, he had 45 minutes left in his shift but he still had to drive back for
two more hours.
It was such a difficult day and he almost did not get to have time to eat. At lunchtime, he
finally had an opportunity to get food, so he went to the nearest fast food restaurant to buy
himself lunch. Just like any other customers there, the policeman was patiently waiting for his
food to arrive. A lady eating her own food, kept staring at him while he was waiting.
