2019-2020年高三英语12月月考试卷Students arc increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes mindlessly by taking down word for word what the professors saidIn the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper .They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers report said, While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.1.

We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Moms vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didnt care much about my bedtime.Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶)of paint but couldnt really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when 1 made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. 1 hadnt turned 5 yet. As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school? As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didnt realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.In 1950, we moved back to Coeur dAlene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.5.

To show off his pride in making troubleCHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is mon for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hourstheres no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face munication over mails or phone calls.In Singapore Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines how people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank. In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it es to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented. In Switzerland The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that es from a deep respect for others time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their panies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate. 9.

His job filled his day, his thoughts, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks. My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure. He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City. “What is our first stop?” asks my father. “What time is it?”“Still dont have a watch?” Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy. “Unbelievable,” he says. “How was this done?”A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son. We stare up and I ask myself, Would I ever devote my life to anything?No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my fathers voice. Now I hear them in my own. The next day were at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic. “Did you ever travel with your dad?” I ask. “Only once,” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other-but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”The last sentence-its probably the same thing Id say about my father. And what Id want my child to say about me. In Glacier National Park, my father says, “Ive never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize- and maybe a regular job wont be as dull as I feared. Weeks after our trip, I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I tell him Ive learn decided to settle down, and Im wearing a watch.13. From the underlined paragraph, we can see that the author_. A. wants his children to learn from their grandfatherB. es to understand what parental love means C. learns how to municate with his fatherD. hopes to give whatever he can to his father14. What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story? A. The call solves their disagreements B. The Swiss watch has drawn them closer C. They decide to learn photography together. D. They begin to change their attitudes to life 15. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Love Nature, Love Life B. A Son Lost in Adventure C. A Journey with DadD.

They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we are, both as an individual and as a member of the munity. Heres how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.16. _ Often neighbors dont even know each others names. But its okay to be the one to break the ice , even if youve lived next door for years. Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence. So as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and say hello. Ask how their kids are (whether theyre babies or in college), whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden, or what they think of the price at the local supermarket. 17. _ These days, the old Wele Wagon is a thing of the past. But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure, especially if theyre far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live. Remend the best places to eat and sleep. Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say good-bye. 18. _ Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good repair and as soon as youre finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you, your children, or your pets break or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking and the talk will be good.19. _ If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open house? Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. This way, you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and music. 20. _ In a good relationship, its really the little things that count. Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor forgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If youre truly concerned, youll know when your neighbor needs some cheering up a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when its needed. All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings. A. Be a good listener. B. Care about the details. C. Strike up a conversation. D. Make time for friendships.E. Reach out to the newers.F. Avoid causing inconveniencesG. Good relationships with neighbors are important.第二部分 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、 C 和 D）中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My husband, Tom, has always been good with animals, but I was still amazed when he befriended a female grouse (松鸡).
