2020届广州市培正中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案解析
2020届广州市培正中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ASheffieldLincoln College of EnglishClasses for foreign students at all levels.3 months, 6 months, 9 months and one year course.Open all year.Small class (at most 12 students).Library, language laboratory and listening center.Accommodation (住宿)with selected families.25 minutes from London.Course fees for English for one year are￡1,380 with reduction for shorter periods of study.1.This passage is probably taken from _______.A.an advertisementB.a noticeC.a posterD.a piece of news2.Who will be accepted by this college?A.Both foreign and native students.B.Only foreign beginners and the advanced.C.Foreign students from beginners to the advanced.D.Only foreign students advanced.3.While you stay there, who will take care of you?A.Your parents.B.Your classmates.C.The school where you study.D.The family you have chosen.BTo hear people talk about Internet friendships, you would think it was one giant web of cat-fishing and e-crime. While we all undoubtedly have to take measures to remain safe online, assuming every friendship or connection made on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook is cheating or insincere would be a mistake.As a woman who works in the creative industry, I have found real joy in seeking out a community I couldn’t find elsewhere, and making some great friends along the way. My first online friendship was on Twitter with my(now) best friend, during the university exam period. We exchanged study notes in dozens of direct messages, set a study date, and haven’t looked back since.Drawn to each other by similar circumstances, friendships online are similar to offline in that they tend to begin because of shared interest or common ground-maybe they’ve read the post on Instagram. Maybe they have the same taste in food or politics. Or maybe they just love memes too. If online friendships start similar to friendships offline, they grow in the same way, too. Often through mutual support: apart from calling a friend to congratulate him on that new job, you also re-tweet his jokes and praise his Instagram story.Despite my positive experiences when I tell people, most are still suspicious. Eyebrows are raised higher when I explain not only have I found a community online but have made friendships with people I meet face-to-face too. Actually, these are just as valid as other friendships, according to behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings, who says online friendships can be real.So how do you know if people are there for the real you or just because you’re popular on Instagram? Hemmings has simple rules. She tells me “You have to equally feel comfortable that you’re getting something of each other instead of being used to enable something that isn’t friendship.”Therefore, if all a “friend” online is asking you to do is to promote their work or personal brand and rarely takes an interest in you, then there may be room to question the basis of the friendship. On that note it is worth remembering that just because someone has a lot of followers, it doesn’t necessarily mean they have lots of friends.4. What is most people’s attitude towards online friendship?A. Negative.B. Positive.C. Objective.D. Neutral.5. Why does the writer share her own experience in paragraph 2?A. To introduce the background information of the text.B. To convey the writer’s attitude and give the related example.C. To prove the likely risk for people to develop friendship online.D. To remind people of the various benefits of making friends online.6. How can online and offline friendships be deepened?A. They should be based on shared interest.B. They need to have common ground.C. They require support from each other.D. They can’t live without social media.7. According to the author, what’s the golden rule to make friends online?A. A friend to all is a friend to none.B. Without confidence there is no friendship.C. A friend without faults will never be found.D. Friendship cannot stand always on one side.CFew people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters (每天长途上下班的人) and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce.There are no written or photographic records ofthe women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records. What’s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat skippers who have called it theLadiesBridge.During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor-force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25,000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out back-breaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the surge (激增) in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45-minute musical entitled “theSingingBridge”, which runs at Somerset House from Sept9th. to Sept25th. In late September, the “Light up the Ladies Bridge” event saw the National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections (投影片) of female construction workers working in construction during World War II.Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.8. Why do few people know about the builders ofWaterlooBridge?A. The records of their work have been lost.B. Female workers received little attention.C. The construction took place long ago.D. Few people know about the bridge.9. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A. There are less female workers inLondon.B.WaterlooBridgeis popular among artists.C. The story ofWaterlooBridgeis better known.D. Many works of art were created during World War II.10. Why didLondonwomen do the construction work?A. It was a tradition inLondon.B. They wanted to get a steady job.C. Mostmen had gone to the battlefield.D. The company offered them better pay.11. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Female Workers on the RiseB. A Hidden Treasure inLondonC. ANew LondonLandmarkD. The Story behind theLadiesBridgeDOver the years, NASA has successfully sent several rovers (飞行器) to Mars. While the science laboratories continue to provide important information on the Red Planet, they keep the space exploration rovers staying closeto the original landing place.To get a more comprehensive (详尽的) view of Mars, the US Space Agency plans to make a small test helicopter with the Mars 2020 Rover, which will be sent off in July 2020.The football-sized “marscopter” weighs about four pounds.It can fly at about ten times the speed of helicopters on Earth. The light weight and fast speed are important for the helicopter to be able to fly in the thin Mars atmosphere, which is about just one percent of that of Earth. “To make it fly in that thin Mars atmosphere, we had to make everything ready, and make it as light as possible while being as strong and powerful as it can possibly be. “Mimi Aung, Mars helicopter project manager, said in a meeting.Upon landing on the Red Planet, the Mars 2020 Rover will find a proper location to send of the helicopter. The helicopter will start with a short climb, no higher than 10 feet, and hover (盘旋) for just 30 seconds before landing back on the Mars surface. If all goes well, five more flights of longer distances, for 90 seconds each, will beconducted over the next 30 days. The short journeys will be recorded by a small camera and sent back to the scientists on Earth.If the plan goes on well, the first helicopter to fly in another world, will open up a whole new way to explore Mars. The Mars helicopter's first flight will be a great invention. For those of us whose research is about flight, that would be a wonderful, historic moment.12. To fly in thin Mars atmosphere，we should make the helicopter_______.A. strong and heavyB. heavy and fastC. light and fastD. strong and slow13. How many times will the helicopter fly?A. Three timesB. Four timesC. Five timesD. Six times14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It’s interesting to fly in another world.B. I' s important to fly in another world.C. The plan to fly the helicopter goes on well.D. The helicopters first flight is successful.15. What may be the best title for the passage?A. To send a helicopter to Mars in 2020B. To send a rover to Mars in 2020C. To live in the thin Mars atmosphereD. To send back records to scientists第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very natural for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should get along with the other sex in public instead of in secret.Don't be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don't fall into the ditch of early love. Boys and girls in adolescence (青春期) are rich in feelings. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can't be eaten. An app le won’t taste sweet until it is fully ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.（1）The main idea of the passage is to _______.A . tell students to keep away from early loveB . give some advice on how to associate(交往) between boys and girlsC . tell students how to make friendsD . teach boys how to talk with girls（2）We should get along with the other sex in the following ways EXCEPT _______.A . with a good state of mindB . in real friendshipC . in publicD . in secret（3）If you are a shy person, you can _______.A . find friends with the same interest and hobby firstB . only have a few friends of the same sexC . not make friends with the other sexD . not fall in love with other students easily I（4）The underlined word "ditch" in the passage means‘_______’ in Chinese.A . 波浪C . 圈套D . 树枝（5）A person at adolescence is _______.A . complicated(复杂的) in feelingsB . good at making friends with each otherC . old enough to fall in loveD . easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love15. （10分）阅读理解When I was about twelve years old, a girl in my class liked to point out(指出) my shortcomings(缺点). She said I was very thin; I wasn't good at math; I talked too much; I was too proud, and so on. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and asked, "Are those things true or not? Jane, didn't you ever think about what you're really like?" Then he added, "Well, you have that girl's opinions. Make a list of everything she said and mark(标出) the points that are true."I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found out that about half the things were true.Some of them I couldn't change(改变), like being very thin, but many I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy, and he said, "Now you know better about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt.When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of great help to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do."Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.（1）How old was Jane when a girl in her class pointed out her shortcomings?A . About 10.B . About 12.C . About 14.D . About 11（2）Which thing did Jane think she couldn't change(改变)?A . She was very thin.B . She wasn't good at math.C . She talked too much.D . She was too proud（3）Who changed the writer's (作者的) opinion?A . Her father.B . Her mother.C . Her sister.D . Her teacher（4）What did Jane's father really mean (用意是) by saying "Make a list of everything she said and mark(标出) the points that are true." ?A . To talk with her classmate.B . To find out what is right and what is wrong.C . To know herself better and improve herself.D . To fight with her classmate（5）Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A . My Father.B . The Best Advice(建议）.C . My Life.D . My shortcomings(缺点)16. （8分）阅读理解American SchoolsAmerican schools begin in September after a long summer holiday.

Most American children begin to go to school when they are five years old. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school.High school students take only four or five subjects(学科) each term. They usually go to the same classes every day, and they have homework for every class. After class they do many interesting things.After high school, many students go to college(大学).

Two months.B . Three months.C . Four months.D . Five months.（2）How old are the students when they graduate(毕业) from high school?A . Five years oldB . Seven or eight years old.C .

They are part of a new addiction(瘾)called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week．The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug(毒品)use．People lose control(控制)of the time they spend on the Internet．For example, one college student was missing for several days．His friends were worried．and they called the po1ice．The police found the student in the computer lab：he was surfing the net for several days straight．Studies show that about 6％to 10％of Internet users become addicted．And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them．They spend more time in cyber—space than in the real world of friends and family．Is“surfing the net”a hobby or an addiction for you?

What do you think of stress? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?Most of the students think stress can do harm 1 them in some ways. There’s a story about a teenager in a middle school. He even 2 his study because of the stress from school and family. We also usually 3 that someone turns to psychological doctors because of heavy working stress.

I experienced stress for the first time. Born to a poor family, I deeply knew 7 was not easy for us, and everything my mom did to me was just to hope I could live a better life in the future. 8 the saying goes, “no pains, no gains.” So I did what my mom expected because I didn’t want to let her down. At last, I did measure up(达到标准）to my mom’s expectation and go to college 9 . Thanks to my mom’s push! Thanks to the stress! In this way, I don’t think stress is a bad thing.Overall, stress is not a bad thing in 10 . The key is how we deal with it.1. A. for B. in C. to D. of2.

Whether we choose to keep moving around, or we choose to stay in one place, we are on a journey. That journey is not an easy one because every day it makes us face new problems in new ways.When I was a little boy, I always looked forward to the next trip or the next holiday. Maybe it is because we lived in a small and boring town. When I finished school, I kept moving. In the first year out of school, I travelled with a friend and we visited over 17 countries in Europe, working in different jobs as we went. After this, I started studying. I studied at three different universities and lived in five different towns. That was my life. There was always someone else to get to know. All this carried on for many years until I got married and had my own family. When you stay in the same place, with the same persons, you start a whole new journey.Then you will stay in the same town, choosing one place to live and one job to remain in. There you are challenged to face life, doing things such as trying hard to get along well with your boss. You have to keep on at your job when you feel like giving it up and traveling again.So rather than move around on different trips, you are on a new journey. This journey of staying still is just as important as all the travels in the world.11.Why did the writer like moving around when he was a boy?A. Because he liked being with friends.B. Because he wanted to know about the world.C. Because he lived in a boring and small town.D. Because he didn’t love his family.12. Which one is TRUE according to the passage?A. The writer went to Europe alone when he left school.B. The writer kept moving during his whole life.C. After the writer got married, he tried different jobs.D. The writer thinks staying still is as important as traveling around.13.What is the best title?A. Go travelingB. Life is a long journeyC. Stay stillD. Travel makes you betterBNearly all our food comes from the soil(土壤). Some of us eat meat, of course; but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass and the waste matter from animals also falls on it.All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Animal’s wastes is the best food for the soil; but chemical fertilizers (化肥) are also very useful. The same crop(庄稼) ought not to be grown in the same place every year; it’s better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land in good condition.14. Since plants are very important for life, _____________.A. the chemical fertilizers are more importantB. the waste matter from animals is more importantC. the soil where the plants grow is more importantD. the animals are more important15. It’s better to _______________ in the same place every year.A. have a different cropB. use different fertilizersC. grow the same plantD. keep the same grass16. Which of the following is the best for soil?A. Chemical fertilizers.B. Animal’s wastes.C. Dead leaves and dead plants.D. All kinds of grass.17. How do we make good use of the soil?A. We can change the crops in the same place every year.B. We can use good fertilizers.C. We must keep the land waste.D. Both A and B.C“You have saved my horse,” Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. “Now you shall get a gift for what you did.” Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair. That day when he was working in the field, the shocked horse ran past him. Without thinking, he rushed out and controlled it. He didn’t know it was the Queen’s horse and never expected to get a gift. But he still felt happy for getting one.Two of the queen’s men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels(珠宝) shone on top of the mirror’s silver frame(框架). The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.“Only one gift can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That’s easy,” Peter said. “I’ll take the chicken.” Some of the queen’s men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.“And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don’t know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.”“You are a smart child,” the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family wouldn’t worry about their food any more--all because he was kind to help others and smart enough to make the right choice!18. The Queen gave Peter a gift because.A. he saved her horseB. he was smartC. she liked himD. he was poor19. Peter decided to choose the.A. jewelsB. mirrorC. chickenD. silver frame20. From Para.3-5, we can know that.A. it was difficult for Peter to make the choiceB. all the men thought Peter’s decision was rightC. Peter thought the chicken would be useful to his familyD. Peter knew the jewels weren’t real before he made the choice21. The right order of Peter’s story is.a. Peter got a well-paid job.b. Peter chose the gift wisely.c. Peter could get a gift for what he did.d. Peter would help his family have a better life.A. d c b aB. c b a dC. c b d aD. c a d b22. After reading the passage, we can infer(推断) that.A. Peter only thought of himselfB. Peter couldn’t take good care of the Queen’s horsesC. chickens became the popular gifts in their countryD. it was wise of Peter to choose something that he knew wellDThe Smith family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country. Now the Smith children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many advantages to knowing more than one language.If you can speak more than one language, you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.It’s clear that knowing more than one language is really good. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.23. The passage begins with the experience of the Smith family in order to_______.A. discuss the need for teaching a new languageB. introduce the passage’s main characters to the readersC. describe the advantages of moving to another countryD. show the problems of speaking only one language24. The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” (Paragraph 4) means “people who know ______.”A. their mother languageB. a new languageC. more than one languageD. body language25. According to the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?A. Not knowing another language.B. Forgetting one’s mother language.C. Refusing to learn another language.D. Failing to communicate with others.26. What is the passage mainly about?A. The advantages of learning other languages.B. The reasons why people come to America.C. The importance of learning EnglishD. How to learn another languageE阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。

Today, more and more animal and plant species are on the way to extinction because of a variety of major factors that cause a species to become endangered, and as you might expect, humans play a role in quite a few of them — in fact, the biggest threat to endangered animals is human encroachment (侵入) on their habitats.Every species needs a habitat, where an animal finds food, raises its young. Unfortunately, humans destroy animal habitats in a number of different ways: building houses, clearing forests to getlumberand to plant crops, draining rivers to bring water to those crops, and making streets and parking lots.In addition, human development pollutes the environment with all kinds of chemicals, which destroys food sources and shelters for the creatures and plants of that area. As a result, some species die out while others are pushed into areas where they can’t find food and shelters — to make matters worse, when one animal population suffers, it affects many other species in its food web, so more than one species’population is likely to decrease.Habitat destruction is the number one reason for animal endangerment, which is why conservation groups work hard to repair the effects of human developments — many non-profit groups like the Nature Conservancy are taking measures to clean up coastlines and establish nature preserves to prevent further harm to native environments and species around the world.4. A species is considered endangered________.A. when the IUCN has noticed its population changeB. when most of its population has died offC. when the species’ birth rate is close to its death rateD. when the species is losing its habitat5. What does the underlined word “lumber” probably mean?A. Gas.B. Food.C. Chemicals.D. Wood.6. What is being done to protect the endangered species?A. Calling for human development.B. Raising money.C. Establishing nature preserves.D. Educating people.7. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Habitat destruction causes animal endangerment.B. Animals die out due to environment pollution.C. Measures need to be taken to increase species.D. Non-profit groups are making great contributions.CAs a 51-year-old first-aid responder since 1984, Jeffrey never knows what type of situation he might walk into, or who he'll meet along the wayTen years into the job, Jeffrey received a call that reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America. When Jeffrey and his partner arrived at the scene, they found the young male face down on the ground. He had gone unconscious, making weak attempts to breathe. His wife stood beside him holding their small son in horror. They quickly rushed to calm the man to keep him under control and offer necessary first aid. After Jeffrey dropped the patient off at the neighboring hospital, he thought about the man and his family for a long time.Jeffrey thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago, where he met a man repeatedly walking back and forth while staring at him. As it turned out, the man was the patient he had saved 20 years earlier."You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought I'd have," the man said.

Worn once, the thin protective materials can take hundreds of years to break down. "Face masks aren't going away any time soon-but when we throw them away, these items can harm the environment and the animals who share our planet," Ashley from anima! rights group PETA said.Monkeys have been found playing with used masks in the hills outsideMalaysia's capitalKuala Lumpur. And in an incident inBritain, a seagull was saved inChelmsfordafter its legs got caught in an abandoned mask for a week.However, the biggest influence is in the water. More than 1.5 billion masks made their way into the world's oceans last year, accounting for around 6200 extra tons of ocean plastic pollution, according to environmental group OceansAsia. “Masks and gloves are particularlyproblematicfor sea creatures," says George Leonard, chief scientist from NGO. "When those plastics break down in the environment, they form smaller and smaller particles （颗粒）.Those particles then enter the food chain and influence the entire ecosystem,“ he added.Campaigners have urged people to deal with masks properly after using them. OceansAsia has also called on governments to increase punishment for littering and encourage the use of washable masks.12. What bring（s）a great danger to wildlife now?A. Waste masks.B. Covid-19.C. Polluted water.D. Damaged habitats.13. What does the underlined word “problematic”in paragraph 4 mean?A. Important.B. Attractive.C. Common.D. Troubling.14. What can we infer from the text?A. Monkeys learned to wear masks from humans.B. Plastics are less harmful after becoming particles.C. Used masks have a worse effect on sea creatures.D. Waste masks arc the main ocean plastic pollution.15. How should we solve the problem from the last paragraph?A. Keep masks after they' re used.B. Call on governments to stop littering.C. Punish those who wear single-use masks.D. Put used masks in the recycling box.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But it was not a valuable book, so a poor man __27__ could read a little bought it for a few coins.The book wasn’t very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was about the secret of the “Touchstone(试金石)”! The touchstone was a small pebble(鹅卵石) that could turn any common metal __28__ pure gold. The writing explained that it was __29__ among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles were cold.So the man sold his few belongs, bought some simple supplies, camped on the beach, and began testing pebbles.

He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I’m no longer a kid. I wouldn’t play around the tree any more,” the boy replied. “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house fo r shelter. Can you help?” “Sorry, I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. Y ou can sail far away明师教育-中小学课外辅导卓著机构明师教育-中小学课外辅导卓著机构and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.Finally, the boy returned after he left f or so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears ①.“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I’m tired after all these years,” the boy replied.“Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come and sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears②...46.Why did the boy pick up all the apples on the tree?A.Because he wanted to eat them.B.B ecause he needed money to buy toys.C.B ecause he liked the tree without apples.D.Because he wanted to share with friends.47.When did the boy come back to the apple tree?A. Whenever he was happy.B. If he missed the apple tree.C. When he was in times of difficulty.D. As soon as he was free.48. What did the boy want at last?A. A house to live in.B. Nothing except a place to rest.C. The root of the apple tree.D. Anything that the apple tree had.49.What can we learn from the story?A.We need to plant more apple trees.B.W e should learn from the boy.C.W e must always stay at home.D.We ought to be thankful to our parents.50.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The phrase “with tears ①” means that the apple tree was sad because theboy asked for too much.明师教育-中小学课外辅导卓著机构明师教育-中小学课外辅导卓著机构B.T he phrase “with tears ②” means that the apple tree was still happy becauseshe could help the boy for the last time.C.E ach time the boy asked the apple tree for help, the tree tried her best to satisfy him.D. After reading the passage, we can easily think of the old Chinesesaying “Parents’ love is universal!”BImagine the situation. You are driving alone in the desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device which uses satellites to find the user’s position. It can find your position within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are. GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate. There are also new uses明师教育-中小学课外辅导卓著机构明师教育-中小学课外辅导卓著机构for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.51.According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people __________.A.can’t be lost in a new cityB.c an’t find their way in different countriesC.c an learn about the culture of an unknown placeD.can spend the least time getting to another place52.We can learn from the passage that __________.A.there are three parts to the GPSB.a GPS can’t be put into a watchC.a GPS can help you start your carD.the GPS are becoming more and more expensive53.The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “__________”.A. ReceiversB. GPS devicesC. SatellitesD. Ground stations54. The passage is mainly about __________.A. the history of the GPSB. the introduction of the GPSC. the shape of the GPSD. the three parts of the GPS55.What can we infer from the passage?A.All GPS devices have electronic maps.B.P eople in many countries will use the GPS for free.C.T he receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.D.The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.CHouse designers have had the feeling that the places we live in can affect(影响) our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling more evidence. They are discovering how to design spaces that improve creativity(创造力), keep people focused and relaxed.明师教育-中小学课外辅导卓著机构明师教育-中小学课外辅导卓著机构 Researches show that aspects of the environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think. Her research shows that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may lead to a better detailed outlook.In additions to ceiling height, the view you can get from a building may influence people's ability of concentration. Nancy Wells and her parents at Cornell University found in their study that kids who see most green can help them do much better in a test of attention.According to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia, it seems that using nature to improve focus of attention can help students in learning. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked(无遮挡的) views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than the students did in the classrooms with windows can see roads car parks or close buildings.Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim（暗淡的）light helps people to feel more comfortable. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could make people relaxed. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with round sides could help visitors relax.So far scientists have paid mainly attention to public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw （吸管）,” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very personal questions and make it public and even use it in society? That’s what our efforts are all about.”56. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?A. Light.B. Ceilings.C. Windows.D. Furniture.明师教育-中小学课外辅导卓著机构明师教育-中小学课外辅导卓著机构57.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The shape of furniture may affect people’s feelings.B.H igher ceilings may help improve people’s concentration.C.P eople in a dim classroom may improve their grades.D.Nancy Wells works at the University of Georgia.58.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that __________.A.the problem is smallB.t he studies are about strawsC.t he problem is too difficult to solveD.the studies are not enough for solving the problem59.What’s the best title of this article?A.Room Designs Affect Our Work and FeelingsB.C eilings, Colors, Windows and LightsC.R oom Designs is necessary in our livesD.How People Design their Rooms60.Look at the picture below. In which classroom are students more likely to do well in maths?明师教育-中小学课外辅导卓著机构明师教育-中小学课外辅导卓著机构A. Classroom 1.B. Classroom 2.C. Classroom 3.D.

My seventh Christmas was round the corner. I dreamed of getting the present from Father Christmas until my elder sister dropped the bomb, “There is no Father Christmas.”I ran to my grandmother’s house, for she always told the truth. Grandma was at home. I told 1 everything. "No Father Christmas?" she wa s a little 2. “Don't believe it. Put on your coat, and let's go.”“Go? Where, Grandma?” I asked.“Kerby's Store.”As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars and said, "Take the 3 and buy something for someone who needs it. I'll wait for in the car.”Then she turned and walked out of the Kerby's.For a few seconds I just stood there, holding the money, wondering 4 to buy, and who to buy it for.I thought of 5 I knew: my family, my friends, my neighbors … I suddenly thought of Bobbie Decker,a 6 with bad and messy hair. He sat right behind me 7 Mrs. Pollack's class.Bobbie 8 went to any party during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, 9 we all knew that he didn't have a cough, and he didn't have a coat. I decided to buy Bobbie a red warm coat 10 he would like.That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper and ribbons, and 11 “To Bobbie, From Father Christmas” on it. Grandma told me Father Christmas never let people know that h e 12 them. Then she drove me over to Bobbie's house, telling that I was helping Father Christmas 13 the presents.Grandma parked the car along the street, and we hid behind the trees near Bobbie's house. Then Grandma said to me, “All right, Father Christmas, get going.”I took a deep breath, rushed to his front door, put the present down. 14 the door, rang the doorbell and flew back to the safety of the 15 and Grandma.

Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have 1 some interesting facts.Perhaps, we prefer to sit 2 to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. We even choose to sit near someone 3 looks like us. People with glasses sit near 4 people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.We seem to believe 5 people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude, or even we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true 6 it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The 7 in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn 8 , find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover differences.Move 9 your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone 10 . And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas.1.

2020届广州市培正中学高三英语一模试题及答案解析
2020届广州市培正中学高三英语一模试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AEach year, theLas Vegasconsumer electronics show, or CES, presents the latest developments in many areas of technology. The newest products are designed to make our lives easier, fun and more productive.A car with legsOne of this year’s presentations was by South Korean carmaker Hyun-dai. The company introduced a small model of a “ walking car,” which is called Elevate. It has four movable legs that can raise the main part of the vehicle high off the ground. The electric-powered vehicle is designed to be used in search-and-rescue operations during emergencies or natural disasters.Changeable people moverGermany's Mercedes presented an experimental self-driving vehicle that it claims can revolutionize transportation for people and goods. The company says the vehicle, called Vision Urbanetic, will be able lo easily change bodies depending on its desired use. Mercedes says as a ride-sharing vehicle , the futuristic-looking car can seat 12 people.Fully electric HarleyAmerican manufacturer Harley-Davidson showed off its first fully electric motorcycle, called LiveWire. The company says the bike will be able to go 177 kilometers between charges. It can reach 96 kilometers per hour in under3.5 seconds. Although Harley is known for building powerful bikes with huge, loud motors, the LiveWire will be unusually quiet.Personal robotsOne of the new robots, called Temi, is really just a computer tablet on wheels. It is designed to be a personal electronic assistant. It moves around the home and performs commands when spoken to. It can link users to friends through voice or video, connect to video or place orders for food or goods.1. Which do you probably use to search for the injured in an earthquake?A. Elevate.B. Vision Urbanetic.C. LiveWire.D. Temi.2. What is the first fully electric motorcycle produced by Harley-Davidson?A. ElevateB. Hyun-daiC. LiveWire .D. Temi .3. Why are the four products designed?A. To ease traffic jam.B. To help us socialize.C. To improve our life.D. To protect the environment.BBritish sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work — The Underwater Museum of Cannes.―The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,‖ Taylor told Dezeen. ―Ocean ecology has been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.‖The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s sea grass. Just one square meter of the sea grass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The sea grass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.―The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,‖ Taylor told Dezeen. ―If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.4. Why does the outer part ofthe sculptures look like a mask?A. To popularize the features of the locals.B. To remind people to protect themselves.C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.5. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How the project was started.B. How the sea grass was restored.C. What recovery effort the project made.D. Why the surroundings were improved.6. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.C. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.7. What might be the best title for the text?A. The Underwater Museum, a long way to go.B. The Underwater Museum, a big difference to the sea.C. The Underwater Museum, an appeal to conserve ecosystems.D. The Underwater Museum, a masterpiece of Jason Taylor.CIt's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they’ve been, and they don't identify you or any of their friends--every moment intheir life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food.They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements.They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact. scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively(挑衅地) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past "fights".But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survivein the wild. "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk,"lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals.But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.8. According to the text, people commonly believe that ______.A. fish don't recognize any of their friendsB. a fish's memory lasts for only seven minutesC. fish can only remember part of their past experiencesD. fish can remember things that happened long ago9. How can fish benefit most from a good memory?A. They can remember their enemies and fight.B. They can remember where to get food and survive.C. They can remember their friends and help each other.D. They can remember where to go when in danger.10. What can we learn from the text?A. Only African cichlids have a good memory.B. African cichlids can remember things for 12 days.C. African cichlids always treat other fish aggressively.D. African cichlids don't belong to the list of smart animals.11. What is the text mainly about?A. What we can learn from fish.B. Fish having a very bad memory.C. How fish improve their memory.D. Fish being smarter than we thought.DPaper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two important ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot stand such a high rate of forest loss. The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A large amount of wastepaper ends up in landfills, where it can produce harmful gases and finally contribute to global climate change.One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Instead of cutting downtrees, recycle existing paper to feed the paper-making process.Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素)，which can be used repeatedly in papermaking. Unfortunately, it also means that paper waste takes a surprisingly long time to break down in landfills. So far, trees are the only source(来源) of cellulose that can fill the great demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees. Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper need not be the dark-color1 edstuff many of us are familiar with. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.Effective recycling requires a continuous effort from everyone at all levels of society. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be developed.The need is real. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a better place for it!12. What can we infer from the text?A. The use of recycled paper will double in 40 years.B. Recycling paper helps relieve global climate change.C. Wastepaper can easily break down in landfills.D. There are not enough landfills for wastepaper.13. What makes recycled paper more acceptable?A. The great demand of trees.B. The low processing cost.C. Its dark-color1 ed feature.D. Its improved print performance.14. What does the author propose?A. Punishing the act of cutting trees.B. Recycling paper.C. Improving recycling system.D. Promoting paper industry.15. How is the text mainly developed?A. By analyzing causes and effects.B. By offering research plans and data.C. By discussing problems and solutions.D. By comparing strengths and weaknesses.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

She hurt herself seriously in a competition at the Goodwill Games held in Long Island, New Y ork in 1998. For a long time she could not move her arms and legs. And her body from middle chest down could not feel anything. She has been on a wheelchair since then.Although she was disabled, Sang Lan believed that she would walk again one day. She kept on exercising all year round, and was sure that would stand up. When she was in New York, she caught the hearts of Americans. She said “Get up from where you fall.” So many people called her “a brave and unbelievable girl”. She became an international symbol of courage and was very popular in the United States.The brave girl has been a college student in Peking University now. Her dream of going to college has come true.“She was busy with training and contests before the accident,” Sang’s mother said, “and now she takes great interest in studying and works very hard.”1．From the story we know that Sang Lan now.A．is studying in a universityB．is living in New YorkC．is a sports girl2．The accident happened .A．in Beijing.B．in Peking University.C．in New York.3．Sang Lan became an international symbol of courage because she .A．was always smilingB．was a good studentC．face the challenges bravely4．Sang Lan said “ Get up from where you fall.” means in Chinese.A．起来就在那儿摔倒B．哪里摔倒哪里起来C．摔倒了要起来5．From the story we can get to know that Sang Lan is .A．a beautiful girlB．a brave girlC．a sick girlB14、Parents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting the pocket money，learning to save，and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals?“All parents hope they’ll raise a money-savvy kid, who’ll grow up to be an adult wise in their money use.” says financial (金融的）planner Peg Eddy. The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own.The Tidier family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan, 17, has been helping with their garden since he was 8. Now he has been able to save $7,800. Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when other kids are given money by their parents.Learn Now, Save LaterMoney skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady, anotherfinancial planner, says, “Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents.”Brady does remind kids. “They shouldn’t be thinking about money all the time，” he says.However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing (投资）.That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past years, the average credit card debt (债务)of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $ 3,000. Among high school students, four out of five have never taken a personal-finance class. Talking About ItMany kids want to learn how to manage their money. But parentsthink only about what kids shouldn’t do. Instead, experts say,knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to getwhat they really want. That means long-term planning and savingfor big expenses like college or a car. It also means thinking of others, by making donations to charity (慈善）. Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She was over $ 2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says.“That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.”Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to usemoney doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves.1．Brady believes that .A．parents should attend more personal-finance classesB．parents should teach their kids how to saveC．kids should learn how to manage moneyD．kids should follow the school rules2．Why did th e writer say Giselle Lopez “learned the hard way”?A．Because she had to pay the debt off slowly herself.B．Because she had to make donations to charity.C．Because she had difficulty finishing her job.D．Because she had too many credit cards.3．What is the best title for the passage?A．Saving Matters! B．Parents Rule! C．Classes Work! D．Money Counts!C15、1．People can’t go to Sweet Tomatoes _______ for a meal.A．on Wednesday B．on FridayC．on Sunday D．on Monday2．Mariah may call _______ to order the seats, because she lives in Ningyang.A．(0538) 3270-9831 B．(0538) 3682-2366C．(0538) 3866-8888 D．(0538) 3370-95313．Mr. and Mrs. White visited Sweet Tomatoes with two kids, Sara, age 7; Tom, age 4.

D．To be a reader of China Daily.5．Where would you probably read this passage?A．In a story book. B．In a math book.C．In a newspaper. D．In a geographic magazine.D16、Do you know Yao Beina?Not only a popular singer was Yao Beina, but also she was an energetic and warm-hearted angel. She had her corneas (眼角膜) donated to two men who needed them, which helped them see the world clearly again.Yao was born in a music family on Sept. 1, 1981 in Wuhan. Her father, Yao Feng, was the former chairman of the Shenzhen Association of Musicians and now serves as the vice chairman of Guangdong Association of Musicians. Under the influence of her family, she had taken up piano since the age of 4, and she sang her first song on the stage when she was 9 years old. Yao did quite well in singing, so she took part in the thirteenth Youth Singing Competition and won the first prize.She became well-known to the public after making a series of songs for the hit TV drama “The Legend of Zhenhuan” in 2012, and the mandarin version (中文版本) of “Let It Go” from Disney’s “Frozen”. In July 2013, she competed in The Voice of China II and finally got the second place in Na Ying’s team. She had won a lot of music awards before she was famous.Yao Beina was unfortunate to be diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer (乳腺癌) and had a successful operation in 2011. Since then, she has fought against the disease for about four years while keeping singing, but sadly she failed. She originally thought of donating all of her organs (器官) to save others’ lives, but failed to do it because of her serious illness.She’s gone, even though she had never stopped struggling with cancer.

Then one of my friends said there was no reason why I should stop training. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”Karen Pickering—Swimming World Champion (冠军)“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that amount（总数）of work by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a profession in any field without being well-organized. Make a list of what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”Kristen Stewart—Actress“When things are getting hard, a voic e inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve anything. Then, there are otherdistractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to give most of your attention to one thing. When I feel nervous, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and improves my confidence.

We will see this kind of cars soon in America. These quiet, clean cars run on electricity. Carmakers will start selling electric cars in 2011.The world’s population will jump from 6.8 billion to 9 billion by 2050. The need for car s will jump with it. But the oil(石油) won’t keep up with the number of cars on the road. So the price of oil will go up.Electric cars aren’t perfect just yet. It can take eight hours to charge(充电) a car for only 100 miles of driving. And the distance(路程) that cars can go depends on driving conditions(条件). How far it travels depends on the weather and traffic.Price is a problem, too. Electric models cost much more than oil-powered cars. The good news is that electric-car technology is getting better. As it does, the prices of this kind of cars are dropping.To charge the car, the US Department of Energy is paying for at least 10,000 charging stations around the country. Private businesses are also getting ready for it. It will cost about $3 for each charge.Carmakers are coming up with other ways to make the car cleaner and cheaper. Cars may run on clean diesel(柴油). So who knows what will power the car you may be driving in 10 years? The chances are that it will be something that’s clean and easy.1．The electric cars are ________.A．large and noisyB．large and quietC．clean and quiet2．Paragraph Two mainly tells us the reason why ________.A．electric cars appearB．the population is growingC．the oil price goes up3．How far the electric car travels depends on the ________.A．water and weatherB．weather and trafficC．drivers and oil4．Why aren’t the electric cars perfect?A．The cars don’t look nice and they’re slow.B．The cars can’t be driven fast and they’re dangerous.C．The cars take a long time to be charged and they cost too much.5．From the passage we know that ________________.A．electric cars will be more expensiveB．nobody knows what will power the cars in 10 yearsC．electric cars will be used by most people in 10 yearsⅤ.书面表达19、Iphone 4掀起了全球范围的抢购热潮，很多中国的中学生也加入其中，甚至通宵排队去不惜高价购买。

满分40分）(A)Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far away from everywhere.He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “Some day I will go t here and see this wonderful place.”One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of a painting. A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows. The girl said, “Sure, I know.” And invited him to sit on the porch(门廊). As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came. There he saw the sunset turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.31.

However, there is a growing list of wonders of the world today. About nine years ago, UNESCO’s World Cultural and Nature Heritage List had 411 places and 136 countries were responsible to protect them, and the list keeps on growing.Usually it is the task of a group of 21 experts to decide which places go on the list. The experts are chosen to work for six years. Their work is to examine and discuss the suggestions from different countries. They also manage the World Heritage Fund which can offer help to countries for protection work.Over the past centuries a lot of cultural or historic places have been destroyed by man or nature. Protecting our natural and cultural heritage is a long and difficult task. Earthquakes, floods, pollution, wars, or even tourism are some of the dangers that harm the heritage.When a historic place is in great danger, it is put on the World Heritage in Danger List and necessary things will be done to protect it.. Places which are on the danger list include Historic Bridges of Indiana, St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Rosenwald School in Southern U.S., etc.36.

Her musical styles put opera, pop and jazz together. She is popular in the States but not here (Britain) –the image of her and her second husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber (he: much older, she; his muse) seems for ever frozen.The 47-year- old singer talks about the new album Symphony that came out of a “very dark time”, including her decision to give up trying to have children. “People have suggested I could adopt,” Brightman says. “But work is central to my life now. and so I am going to put it to one side. After a while, not having children becomes the norm and perhaps that might sound alarming to parents especially, but I have neverknown anything different. I’m not hurt by not having children. My life and career are incredibly rich.”Talking about growing up in a large family in Berkhanisted, she says, “I was gifted as a child, and very musical. I seemed to be good at anything to do with the arts. At 5 I understood the music I was dancing to and had an eye for costume.” She first appeared in a West End musical at 11 and hated boarding school.Brightamn led the saucy dance troupe（辣妹三人组）Hot Gossip and had her first hit with I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper in 1978. At 18 she married a music manager called Andrew Graham Stewart. “I was probable in love but I can’t remember. Girls change such a lot between 18 and 22. It didn’t really work out.” In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance, Requiem and Phantom of the Opera. They married in 1984.Brightamn says she felt hostility（敌意）“form the beginning. I haven’t tried to understand it. I’ve done very well everywhere else, especially the US, where I now live. I just accept it for what it is. The more you are away from Britain, the more you appreciate it. But I don’t miss it, although I miss my family. Our profession can be uncomfortable but I enjoy what I do. I get on with it.”41. The first paragraph tell us that ________.A. Brightamn is very popular around the world except in AmericaB.
