2022年湖北省恩施州巴東第三高級中學(xué)高三（下）月考英語試卷（五）

第一部分閱讀（共兩節(jié) ，滿分37.5分）第一節(jié)（共4小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A.B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。

• 1．For the Travel section，writers and editors selected special items belonging to the following four cities.
     Brussels：Chocolate
     Nearly half the chocolate consumed in the world is eaten in Europe，and Belgium—with average consumption of 14.99 pounds per person a year- certainly covers its fair share.While Brussels，the country s capital，is home to hundreds of chocolate makers.What makes a visit necessary is the rich heritage of traditional chocolate makers.
     Budapest ：Paprika（紅辣椒）
     The job of preparing Hungarian paprika was once considered too dangerous for mothers to do.A woman who touched her children upon returning from work risked burning them，so only the elderly and unmarried were allowed the delicate task of separating the skin from the flesh.But by the early 20th century，sweeter varieties and a machine turned paprika into a common feature of all Hungarian cuisine.
     Lisbon：Tiles（瓷磚）
     Is there a bluer country than Portugal？The blue sky and Atlantic Ocean embrace the land.The blue moods of Fado，the dark folk music，form the national soundtrack.And all across Portugal，the typically blue designs of azulejos- ceramic tile- are spread across churches，castles，palaces，university halls，parks...The result is a beautiful land of Christian saints，Portuguese kings，historical glories，aristocrats（貴族）at leisure，seascapes and so on.
     Madrid：Guitars
     Walking into one of Madrid's storied guitar makers' workshops can make you feel like stepping into the past.Curly wood shavings，from the palest pine to ebony，fall onto the floor as artisans（工匠） turn some humble wood into works of art.It's painstaking work- all done by hand- with classical guitar models and the methods of making them changing little over the last century.

  A．Brussels.
  B．Budapest.
  C．Lisbon.

• 2．When my grandmother Deed was a young woman she contracted polio （小兒麻痹癥）.She was kept in bed for the better part of a year and lost the use of her right leg.She was raising my young father on her own，so it felt like an impossible situation.Her family gave her much support and encouragement.Slowly but surely，Deed learned to not only deal，but to thrive with her disability.People thought she was crazy when she wanted to start her own business，but she was determined.She borrowed money from the bank for her business.She went on to run a successful company and became one of the first women entrepreneurs in the city of Revere，Massachusetts.
     I truly believe polio was a gift to my grandmother.It strengthened her beliefs and made her strong and resilient （有韌性的），but it also forced her to slow down and become contemplative （好思考的）.She never complained about her condition，not once.
     However，I often got angry and complained when things weren't going my way.Deed would turn to me and gave me advice on my next move.Though far from Hollywood， （she lived on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire），Deed seemed to know answers to the problems that seemed to puzzle me.She was my trusted mentor （導(dǎo)師）.With each visit，she would help me better myself；expand my mind and go after bigger dreams.
     And grow I did.I became confident，more driven and focused on what I wanted to achieve.Each step of the way，Deed was there to cheer me on.The more I leaned back out of fear，the more she challenged me to lean in （向前一步） to the possibilities.
     Within a month of selling my first screenplay.Deed passed away.She is on my mind daily.Now，whenever I deal with career issues that scare me，I would remind myself of her greatest piece of advice：Sit down and take a breath.It will all work out.

• 3．Priti Kohal's love of flying began when she was a 16-year -old living in Mumbai.But her liking for planes started sitting in the driving seat on the open road，not wide-open skies.
     As a teenager，Kohal，now age 45，would take her parents' car around town.She loved being in control of the vehicle and the freedom that came with it.
     When Kohal turned 18 and officially received her driver's license，her liking for driving intensified（加?。?It was great to be able to do things on my own without having anyone ferry me around，" she said. "After the car I moved on to faster modes of transportation. "
     Kohal earned her pilot's license in 1994 and since 1996 has been a pilot with India's Jet Airways- she's one of 600 female pilots in India- and she's been a captain since 2009.
     There are only 4，000 female pilots worldwide，versus 130，000 male pilots.Kohal's doctor mother and engineer father taught her and her sister that they weren't any different from men and could do anything they wanted as long as they had fun doing it.
     The family's support helped her do better，but many women entering traditionally male-dominated professions in India met more obstacles.In 2009，Air India fired ten female flight attendants for being overweight.GoAir，a budget airline in India，said in 2013 that it only wanted to hire small，young females to be flight attendants in order to save money on fuel by keeping the weight of the plane down.And there are stories in the media and social media of notes being left on flights，or complaints being made，by passengers upset that they've flown with a female pilot.
     However，Kohal never thought twice about being in the airline business."I never considered being a pilot different from being an engineer or a teacher，" she said." There were no limits for what we could do."
