2020年高三下学期高三三模英语试卷（Z20联盟）-学生用卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，每小题2.5分，共25分）1、【来源】 2020年高三三模（A篇）第21~23题7.5分At 63, Jerry Valencia was determined to get his college degree. He arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students' views, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that term and reapply for the next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money from construction jobs and have his student-loan（助学贷款） papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class. Sure, I said. But he wouldn't get any credit.Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.I overheard Valencia say he wanted to stay in school until he earned a master's degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.Twelve years? He was in and out of school, he said, depending on whether he had money for classes. Most of his seven brothers and sisters didn't go to college, and none finished. Valencia was determined to be the first, despite his late start.There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia's determination. At his current pace, he'll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn't seem especially relevant. He's found all the youthful energy and the joy of learning.(1) Which of the following best describes Jerry Valencia?A. Strict and reliable.B. Quiet and hard-working.C. Active and determined.D. Humorous and considerate.(2) Why couldn't Jerry Valencia finish community college as scheduled?A. He failed to earn enough credits.B. He stopped for years to support his family.C. He often quit school due to financial difficulties.D. He lost his job and couldn't afford the school fee.(3) Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Knowledge is PowerB. Never Too Old to LearnC. Time Waits for No ManD. An Idle Youth, a Needy Age2、【来源】 2020年高三三模（B篇）第24~26题7.5分Aristotle said the face was a window onto a person's mind. Today, facial expressions are still commonly thought to be a universally valid way to judge other people's feelings, regardless of age, sex and culture.An analysis of hundreds of research papers that examined the relationship between facial expressions and underlying（潜在的） emotions, however, has uncovered a surprising conclusion: there is no good scientific evidence to suggest that there are such things as recognizable facial expressions for basic emotions across all cultures. Just because a person is not smiling does not mean that person is unhappy.This raises questions about the efforts of information-technology companies to develop AI algorithms （算法）. Microsoft, for example, claims its "Emotion API" is able to work out what people are feeling by examining videos of them. However, Aleix Martinez, a computer engineer at Ohio State University, expressed skepticism. He said that companies attempting to judge emotions from images of faces have failed to understand the importance of context（背景）.Dr. Martinez referred to an experiment in which participants were shown a close-up picture of a man's face, which was bright red with his mouth open in a scream. Based on this alone, most participants said the man was extremely angry. Then the view zoomed out to show a football player with his arms outstretched, celebrating a goal. His angry-looking face was, in fact, a show of pure joy.Given that people cannot guess each other's emotional states, Dr. Martinez sees no reason computers would be able to. "There are companies right now claiming to be able to do that and apply this to some places, " he says. "For example, they require you to submit a video, and then this is analyzed by a machine-learning system. Depending on your facial expressions, they hire you or not, which I find really shocking and based on a wrong and dangerous assumption."(1) What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Basic facial expressions are universal.B. Most facial expressions are recognizable.C. Emotions are as complex as facial expressions.D. Facial expressions don't necessarily show emotions.(2) Why did Dr. Martinez refer to the experiment in Paragraph 4?A. To show different facial expressions of joy and anger.B. To introduce a new way to study underlying emotions.C. To stress the importance of context in reading facial expressions.D. To encourage more efforts to be made to develop AI algorithms.(3) Where is the text probably from?A. A science magazine.B. A business journal.C. A news report.D. A research paper.3、【来源】 2020年高三三模（C篇）第27~30题10分Just a few generations ago, speaking two languages was supposed to be bad for people. Tests in America found that bilingual（双语的） people had lower IQs. Later it became clear that those surveys were actually measuring the material poverty of immigrants; members of such families were more likely to be undernourished（营养不良的） and less motivated, not to mention the obvious fact that they often took the tests in a language that was not their best.How things have changed! In the past decade it has become almost common knowledge that bilingualism is good for people. Many research papers have suggested that two-tongued people enjoy a variety of advantages. Most notably, they have shown that bilinguals get dementia（痴呆） on average four years later than those speaking one language, and that they have a basket of abilities that aid people doing complex tasks, including focusing attention, and updating working memory.Why bilingualism would improve these abilities is unclear. Researchers assume that having two languages means putting aside one when speaking the other, a kind of constant mental exercise that makes the brain healthier. This in particular is thought to be the reason for a later start of dementia.But some researchers say they could find no statistically significant advantage in any age group. It seems that if the TAL#NBSP bonus is real, it is not very noticeable and affected by many other factors.The bottom line is that learning another language sometimes contributes to an intellectual boost, though not always. But that has never been the main reason to do it. A second language expands the number of people you can talk to. Bilingualism may help you understand other people; one study foundthat bilingual children are better at grasping other opinions, perhaps because they are always keeping track of who speaks what, a regular reminder that everyone is different.(1) Why did bilingual people show lower IQs in tests?A. They didn't reccive any education.B. They didn't try their best in the tests.C. They were less privileged immigrants.D. They spent little time on a second language.(2) What may contribute to a later start of dementia of bilingual people?A. Updated working memory.B. Constant outdoor exercise.C. Long exposure to complex tasks.D. Frequent switches between languages.(3) What does the word "bonus" refer to in Paragraph 4?A. High concentration.B. Bilingual advantage.C. Unique brainpower.D. Language fluency.(4) What is the author's attitude to learning another language?A. Favorable.B. Ambiguous.C. Disapproving.D. Doubtful.二、七选五（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）4、【来源】 2020年高三三模（Z20联盟）第31~35题10分Have you ever hadsomeone tell you, "If you eat before bed, you're going to getfat!"1But is eating late at night, specifically after 8 p.m., really going to make you gain weight?One theory is that your metabolism（新陈代谢） slows down when you're asleep. With a slower metabolism, fewer calories are being burned. Thus the calories you eat right before bed would not be burned off as much as they would be while you're awake. Although the science seems pretty sound, recent studies have shown that metabolism changes very little, if at all, while you are asleep. The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very very active.2So while we are asleep, we are still burning calories.3Carbohydrates（碳水化合物） are one of your body's main sourcesof energy. When they go unused, they are stored primarily as fat. However, the time of day that carbohydrates are consumed does not play a role as to how much of it is stored as fat.Actually, weight gain is based on the amount of calories being consumed overall and the amount of calories used overall.4It has little to do with the time when you eat. So how come individuals have higher BMIs when they snack at night? Although there is a relation between the two, it is simply a result of eating too many calories!Snacks that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips, and soft drinks. The time these snacks are consumed does notmatter.5A. All of these actions take energy.B. That being said, you will not get fat if you eat before bed.C. Anyone eating anytime after the morning will become fat.D. Food consumed late at night will more likely be stored away.E. Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true.F. Simply put, if you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight.G. There's another theory about eating specifically carbohydrates before bed.三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分）5、【来源】 2020年高三三模（Z20联盟）第36~55题30分Wheeling her red chair and scissors around the city, a salon owner Katic Steller gives thoseless1strangers the gift of visibility—one free hairdo at a time.Steller is highly aware of the2of her cleanup job.

英语_安徽省某校2020届高考仿真模拟(三)英语试题含答案
安徽省某校2020届高考仿真模拟（三）英语试题一、阅读选择1.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AThe weather might be freezing at home, but that doesn't mean you have to spend the winter trembling. Instead, grab your bathing suit and sunscreen and head to these sunny spots that offer the best warm-weather getaways.San Juan, Puerto RicoHead to the hot city nightlife of San Juan, where the streets of smart Condado back right onto the palm trees. Top chefs, stylish hotels, bars, clubs, and shops are all just steps away from the tropical beaches. Since Puerto Rico became a US commonwealth, it's one of the easiest islands in the Caribbean to visit since you won't need any passes, have to change money, or even worry about your cellphone working.Riviera Maya, MexicoWhat's better than diving into the salty sea? Going into the clear and salt-free waters of the natural limestone cenotes of the Riviera Maya and Yucatán Peninsula. Spend a sunny day exploring these natural cave pools filled with cool water that springs from the ground below and the thick palm forests that surround them. Then head back to Fairmont Mayakoba for comfortable rooms and modern Mexican cuisine.New OrleansNew Orleans's lively nightlife and live music scenes make the "Big Easy" a great girls' winter getaway. And even if your crew isn't one to seek out the boozy Bourbon Street crawl, there's plenty of amazing food to be discovered in the French Quarter, plenty of shopping and walking in the Garden District.Clearwater, FloridaIf you want to meet a real movie star while also taking in the sun, head to the Gulf shores of Clearwater, Florida. Here you can meet the stars of Dolphin Tale and Dolphin Tale 2, Winter and Hope, who are in residence at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.What makes Puerto Rico an easy tourist destination to visit?A No pass is needed.B It lies in the Caribbean.C It's near the tropicalbeaches.

Day in Chang'an has been one of the biggest pleasant surprises for fans of TV dramas this summer. Its intense story and well-designed costumes and scenery have captured the attention of viewers, earning it high marks on review platforms.The story takes place during the Lantern Festival in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang dynasty. The story follows Zhang Xiaojing, who has been sentenced to death. Before the execution （处决）, he is appointed by Li Bi, the young chief of the intelligence department, to stop a group of suspected terrorists called the Wolf Squad and protect Chang'an.One of the main attractions of the drama has been its recreation and presentation of the ancient city of Chang'an. To give viewers the feeling that they are traveling in the city, the show's director Cao Dun has been making use of single shot scenes that show what the crowded market would have been like during the Lantern Festival in Chang'an. The cast has also been a major draw. They have been an irreplaceable part of the drama. These experienced actors are the foundation for the drama.The drama includes some impressive and important plot elements, such as watchtowers in the city that are manned by sharpshooters who can hit any target in their range. The production team even came up with a detailed secret communication system that these watchtowers use to communicate with each other. Another innovation is the use of screen notes to explain terms that audiences would be unfamiliar with, such as the term " bu liang ren", which audiences may mistakenly think refers to a villain（坏人）in the drama. An explanation appears on the screen to tell the audience that "bu liang ren" are specialists trained to catch evil guys. It's really helpful.According to Paragraph 2, what do we know about Zhang Xiaojing?A He ends up being killed by suspected terrorists.B He is appointed as the chief of the intelligence departmentby Li Bi.C He is still sentenced to life imprisonment though he isinnocent.D He is chosen to defeat the suspected terrorists though hefaces a death sentence.The drama's director employs the skill of single shot scenes in order to ______.A make viewers experience the feeling of traveling in the cityB let audiences have a good trip in Chang'anC have audiences understand the history wellD show what the Lantern Festival is likeWhat does the term "bu liang ren" refer to?A The people who are thought to have committed a crime.B The people who are expert at arresting bad men.C The people who have no family or possessions.D The people who are referred to as villains.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A The explanation for screen notes.B The introduction of the communication system.C The innovation elements of the drama.D The audience's assessments of the drama.3.Empathy（同理心）is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.What Is Empathy? Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values. Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone's feelings; criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their emotions tames (for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.（1）Why are the next generation taught to have empathy?A Everyone needs empathy.B Empathy is a strange quality.C It's better to give than to receive.D People tend to center themselves.（2）Which situation can empathy be used in?A When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.B When a criminal is cheating a victim.C When a dancer is dancing to music.D When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.（3）What does the underlined sentence "An empty jug cannot fill a cup" mean?A It's a must to talk to kids about emotions.B Adults should set an example tokids. C Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first. D An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.（4）What is the best title of the passage?A How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.B How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks.C Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.D How to train kids to have empathy.4.ls there a link between social media and depression? Do Facebook and Instagram have a negative impact on your mental health? It's complicated.Sometimes, looking through Instagram just makes you feel bad. You try not to envy your friends, but they always seem to be traveling somewhere cool, eating something fancy, or looking cute in perfect just-rolled-out-of-bed hair. On the other hand, there are times when you laugh at funny memes（表情包）, catch up with old friends, and feel happy to belong to fun social media communities. Clearly, social media isn't all bad.People are increasingly suspect that there're the potential problems of social media. Things like cyberbullying, screen addiction, and being exposed to endless filtered images（美颜）that make it impossible not to make comparisons between yourself and others often make the news. In July, a big study came out in the journal JAMA titled "Association of Screen Time and Depression in Adolescence." This big headline seems to confirm what a lot of people have been saying—screen time is horrible for young people.The study followed over 3800 adolescents over four years as part of a drug and alcohol prevention program. Part of what the investigators measured was the teens' amount of screen time, including time spent on social media, as well as their levels of depression symptoms. One of their main findings was that higher amounts of social media use were associated with higher levels of depression. That was true both when the researches compared between people and compared each person against their own mental health over time.Case closed? Not so fast. Before we end the debate once and for all, let's take a closer look at this and other studies. Let's ask ourselves: what exactly is the relationship between social media use and depression? It turns out there are several warnings.（1）Why do people sometimes feel bad when looking through Instagram?A They feel unbalanced.B They can travel nowhere.C They don't lookperfect. D They lack contact with old friends.（2）Why is the article in journal JAMA mentioned?A To comment.B To suggest.C To prove.D To explore.（3）Which may agree with the findings of the study?A Teens' amount of screen time is limited.B Depression is related to social media use.C It is not easy to tell reasons for depression.D Social media use contributes to mental health.（4）What's the best title of the text?A How to reduce depression?B Shall people reduce screen time?C Does social media cause depression?D Why is it time to give up social media?二、七选五5.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It’s a great event for first-timers because everyone is cheered on with enthusiasm no matter how long it takes to cross the finish line. The time limit for the full marathon is now at a pace of minutes per mile, or 6 hours and 33 minutes, but in the past it had an open time limit. They promise you’ll still receive your medal if you fall behind the pace, but you have to finish using the sidewalks.TCS New York City MarathonAs the world’s biggest marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon attracts over 50,000 people to the Big Apple each November. The time limit is generous eight and a half hours, but participants must move to the sidewalk if they drop below 15-minute mile.The famous course snakes through five boroughs (行政区) of the city and crosses five bridges to end in Central Park.Honolulo MarathonThe marathon attracts over 30,000 participants each December. The race starts on Ala Moana Boulevard in downtown Honolulu and snakes its way along the breathtaking Hawaiian coastline to the finish line in Kapiolani Park.

Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolor1 ed pages. It was my grandfather’s journal and now belonged to my father. My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life’s journey.I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I wascaptivatedby the power of the written words. In the magical script (笔迹) before me, I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others, and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace (拥抱) each other’s struggles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer’s mind and understand the world they lived in.That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment, and hungry for information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to our collective wisdom, most of these writings reflectthe superficiality (肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important. Writing humbles (使谦卑) us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life. Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflect deep thought on issues of human importance.4. The underlined word “captivated” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “________”.A. puzzledB. frightenedC. attractedD. defeated5. In the author’s grandfather’s age, people ________.A. lived a hard lifeB. cared about each otherC. were fond of writingD. treated food as an art6. The author begins the text with her grandfather’s journal in order to ________.A. show her respect to her grandfatherB. present the importance of good writingC. express her interest in reading as well as writingD. raise the problems with today’s writing7. In the last paragraph, the author is trying to _________.A. discuss what good writing is likeB. express her strong desire to learn writing skillsC. stress the effects of her grandfather’s journal on herD. show her admiration for her grandfather’s writingCAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. Theability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.8. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.9. What impressed “I” by Lori?A. Lori was good at running recruiting.B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.10. What can we infer from the passage?A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.11. What is the best title of the passage?A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.DA PhD student inMichigandefended her paper while wearing a skirt madeof rejection letters she received while studying. 29-year-old Caitlin Kirby printed out 17 of her rejection letters — from scholarships, academic journals, and conferences — then folded each one into a fan. She connected them in rows, and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of remindedme that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said. "A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth and environmental science atMichiganStateUniversity, also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for students to get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling of rejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academic journal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things: Since her doctorate, she's won a scholarship to do further research on urban agriculture inGermany.Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

C. with her two sons, one of whom, 5-year-old Xayvior, has autism(自闭症).Although all of the other flights had gone fine, Xayvior became angry during one of the flights, and Redding couldn’t calm him.“It felt like everyone on the plane was looking at us and got angry with my son, ” she wrote in a Facebook post after she got home. “I don’t know what to do when others just don’t understand that he is not just a kid with no discipline(自制力)，but a child with special needs who doesn’t know how to control himself.”The day was saved by Delta flight attendant(空乘人员)Amanda Amburgy. She tried to help Xayvior watch a movie, but when that failed, she offered to take him on a tour of the airplane.That worked, and soon the child was not only calm, but having a good time.“When they came back, Xayvior was much calmer and happier,” wrote Redding in the post，which now has 2,700 likes and over 500 shares. “I want to thank this Delta attendant.

By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.“Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people,” said Chris Urmson, director of Google’s self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google’s headquarters inMountain View,California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator (油门) or brake pedal. “Our software and sensors do all the work,” Urmson said. “The vehicles will be very basic — we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible — but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button.” The prototype (雏形) is the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads — the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error — and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can’t drive because of age or illness.Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don’t own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, includingDelphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerators and brake pedals to allow “safety drivers” to take control if needed.8. According to Chris Urmson, __________.A. self-driving cars can give driving orders to humansB. self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderlyC. software and sensors are vital for self-driving carsD. ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars9. Paragraph 4 is meant to tell us that __________.A. many traffic accidents are caused by human errorB. some people can’t drive because of illness or ageC. Urmson has promised to create safer roads in the futureD. self-driving cars will probably help to make safer roads and decrease traffic jams10. The underlined word “issued” in the last paragraph can probably bereplaced by__________.A. givenB. claimedC. awardedD. prohibited11. What’s the author’s attitude towards self-driving cars?A. Objective.B. Indifferent.C. Subjective.D. Favorable.DAmerica---that glorious symbol of multiculturalism, the great melting pot---qualifies as part of the developed world, right? Not quite, if we consider the state of second language learning in schools across the country. According to a 2018 study, Europe often tops the U.S. in foreign language education in school. 92% of European students are learning a foreign language in school. In America it’s only 20%. In more than 20 European countries, studying a foreign language for at least one year is compulsory. In comparison, only 10 states and D.C. require learning a foreign language for graduation.I went to a public school in Pennsylvania that ranked onNewsweek’s list of America’s top high schools in 2015. Foreign language learning was not a graduation requirement. A common response to such stories and statistics is: So what? Why should Americans care about learning another language when English has recently seemed to dominate as the official language of the world?The world is globalizing faster than we can imagine. More than half of the world’s population speaks more than one language. It is also increasingly becoming the need for success in this globalizing world. Having the ability to speak a second language opens up the possibility of travelling and immersing yourself in another part of the world. This means people can feel other cultures, and traditions in places you were previously kept away because you could not communicate in the language.The teaching of foreign languages can be instrumental in bringing about peace and unity in the country we live in. Learning a second language can be an efficient vehicle to help to bridge communities. To speak another language means having access to a universe of different experiences and world views of another community of people.12. Why does the writer mention Europe?A. America makes studying a foreign language compulsory.B. America is the glorious symbol of multiculturalism.C. America isn’t really qualified as the developed world.D. America doesn’t focus on foreign language education13. What is American’s attitude towards education of foreign languages?A. Less concerned.B. More worried.C. Quite doubtful.D. Very supportive.14. What can visiting people do if they can speak the language where they visit?A. Make the world globalizing.B. Achieve success in business.C. Experience people’s real life there.D. Keep away their own culture.15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Using a second language can bring harmony.B. Communities of people enjoy the great views.C. Speaking another language is reallynecessary.D. Learning a second language can be difficult.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。
2020-2021学年六安市皋城中学高三英语三模试卷及答案解析
2020-2021学年六安市皋城中学高三英语三模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AWhat to Eat—and What to Skip—When It Comes to Takeout FoodIf the burden on your wallet doesn't bother you much, the effect your takeout habit can have on your waistline just might arouse your attention. Here's the best and worst of the lot for your belly.Steamed Vegetable Dumplings: Order This.When she orders Chinese, registered dietitian nutritionist Elisa Zied gets an order of steamed vegetable dumplings. "I often pair them with either chicken and broccoli in brown sauce（I ask for a little saucemade without sugar）or steamed shrimp dumplings," she tells us.Crab Wontons: Not That!When you deconstruct crab wontons, it's easy to see why they're a "Not That!" The inside is filled with crabmeat and cream cheese（which is just a fancy, spreadable fat）.The wonton is made of refined flour, egg and salt and the crispy（脆的）coating is a result of a deep oil bath.Peking Duck: Order This.Most of the fat from the skin flows out of the duck over the course of cooking, making this a healthier choice than most of the stir-fry dishes available. Order a side of steamed vegetables and serve it with a small scoop of brown rice. Done and done!Sweet and Sour Anything: Not That!Anything with “sweet and sour” in its title is a powerful cue that something has been deep-fried and covered in a sickly-sweet pink sauce. If you pair your selection with a side of rice, you're looking at a 1,000-calorie meal.Summer Roll: Order This.Summer rolls are steamed instead of fried—and typically filled with lean proteins and vegetables, making them a winning appetizer in our book. Pair them with an order of edamame（毛豆）and a broth-based soup for a satisfying, filling meal.Spring Roll: Not That!Spring=deep-fried, which is why we say to skip them! They're filled with fat and calories your belly doesn't need.1.What kind of cooking method should be skipped according to the text?A.Steaming.B.Stir-frying.C.Deep-frying.D.Boiling.2.Which of the following suits as a good starter for a meal?A.Chicken and broccoli.B.Steamed vegetable dumplings.C.Peking duck.D.Summer rolls.3.Where can the text be found?A.In a recipe.B.In a guidebook.C.In a science fiction.D.In a health magazine.BWhere do you find beauty? Fashion Magazines? Music Videos? One American photographer is finding beauty in unexpected places. And a new documentary about his work might help change the traditional standards of “who” is beautiful.Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino （白化病）girl.“I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So it was my initial intention that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.” Said Guidotti.Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public views and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.The cast and crew recently hosted a screening at Georgetown University in Washington. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there's somebody who, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.” said Waithera.The documentary is the idea of producer Joanna Rudnick. After seeing Guidotti's photos, she decided to tell his story. Joanna and Guidotti are traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. “As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm encouraging individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They'reseeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also encouraging their families and they in turn are encouraging their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change how you see,see how you change.”4. What made Rick change his understanding of beauty?A. A girl diagnosed with albino.B. His job as a fashion photographer.C. The beauty on the covers of magazines.D. Influence from the people working with him.5. What can we infer about Jayne Waithera?A. She showed great interest in taking photos.B. She used to be disappointed at her work and life.C. She was greatly influenced by the experience with Rick.D. She believed Rick was the best photographer in the world.6. Which of the following words can best describe On Beauty?A. abstract and differentB. traditional and academicC. tolerant and encouragingD. creative and interesting7. What's the best title of the text?A. True Beauty In The Eye Of A PhotographerB. Beautiful Or Not Beautiful,That's A QuestionC. Be Who You Are Not Who You Want To BeD. A Different photographer, A Different MagazineCThere are 195 countries in the world today but almost none of them have purple on their national flag. So what’s wrong with purple? It’s such a popular color1 today. Why would no country use it in their flag? The answer is really quite simple. Purple was just for too expensive.The color1 purple has been associated with royalty power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I forbade anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple’s high status comes from the rarity and cost of the dye (染料)originally used to produce it. Fabric traders got the dye from a small sea snail (海螺)that was only found in the Tyre region of the Mediterranean. More than 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of purple; not to mention a lot of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive.Since only wealthy rulers could afford to buy and wear the color1 , it became associated with the royal family.Sometimes, however, the dye was too expensive even for royalty. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio famously wouldn’t allow his wife to buy a scarf made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today. Therefore, even the richest countries couldn’t spend that much having purple on their flags.The dye became more accessible to lower-class about a century and a half ago. In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin accidentally created a man-made purple compound (化合物)while attemptingto produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that the compound could be used to dye fabrics, so he patented the dye, manufactured it and got rich. Purple dye was then mass-produced so everybody could afford it.Till now, a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use purple in their flag. So don’t be making any bets just yet.8. Why was color1 purple expensive in the past?A. Because only royal families were allowed to wear purple.B. Because it took a long time to get purple dye from gold.C. Because purple was worth as much as its weight in gold.D. Because purple dye used to be rare and hard to produce.9. Why did Roman Emperor Aurelio forbid his wife to buy a purple scarf?A. Because of poor quality.B. Because of long tradition.C. Because of bad taste.D. Because of high price.10. What is purple's situation now?A. Purple has been widely used on national flags.B. Purple dye is now affordable to ordinary people.C. Royal family stop using purple because it’s toocommon.D. Fewer snails are used to produce purple dye than before.11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. No Purple Flags?B. Purple vs GoldC. How to Produce Purple Dye?D. The Birth of Purple ColorDMany Americans experience surprise (or disappointment) when they wake up on Christmas Day. They might be surprised or disappointed by a family member’s actions. They might be happy or unhappy about a Christmas gift. Imagine a child expects to get an Xbox or PlayStation for Christmas. On Christmas morning, they quickly opentheir gift. Inside is an English grammar book. They might feel disappointed. The Everyday Grammar team would prefer the new English grammar book. But if you are like most young people, you would probably rather have a new video game.Today, we are going to explore those feelings-feelings of surprise and disappointment. In other words, we are going to explore how speakers show that reality was better or worse than their expectations.Many languages use words to express expectation. Speakers also use words to express how events are not happening as expected. This idea is known as “counter expectation”.Do not worry about the term. Just remember that it means that speakers use words to show that reality is countering their expectations.English has many words that serve this purpose. Three of the most common are the words “even”, “still” and “actually”. You will often hear them in informal, everyday speech. Speakers use these words to show disappointment. The pitch of their voice tells you what they mean. Let’s study examples of each word.Speakers often use the word "even” to show disappointment or surprise. Imagine a young child that expects a phone call from a family member-perhaps an uncle or grandparent. The phone call never comes. The child might say the following: “What’s wrong with him? He didn’t even call me on Christmas day.” Americans sometimes use “still” for showing how reality does not quite meet their expectations: “You’re still here? It’s over! Go home. Go!” Another common word that shows surprise or disappointment is “actually”: “I can’t believe it! Uncle Bob actually stole her Christmas gift.”12. What might most young Americans prefer as a Christmas gift according to paragraph 1?A. A newly made video game.B. An English grammar book.C. A new designed school bag.D. A unique jacket from their parents.13. What does the underlined phrase “counter expectation” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Expression of disappointment.B. Something expected to happen.C. The same with one’s expectation.D. A result against what is expected.14. What do the three words “even”, “still” and “actually” have in common?A. They are easy to understand.B. They express disappointment.C. They show delighted feelings.D. They are used most at Christmas.15. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?A. Expectations from loved ones.B. Different uses of the three words.C. Examples of the use of the three words.D. Emotions of disappointment and surprise.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。

And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.“The problem for air pollution is that it’s been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People don’t realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.”London’s poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing(引用)a report released by the city manager last year. If people were better informed about the pollution they’ re breathing, she says, they could pressure the government to do something about it.Nearby, on a windy hill inLondon’s Regent’s Park, an experiment is underway that could help—the first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the director for DigitasLBi, a marketing firm, won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter. Duquesnoy, fromFrance, chose the problem of air pollution.“Basically, I realized how important the problem was,” he says. “But also I realized that most of the people around me didn’t know anything about it.” Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter.“So”, he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his first thought. But it’s illegal to fly them overLondon. “But pigeons can fly aboveLondon, right?” he says.“They live—actually, they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low.”So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the city’s air.4. What can we infer aboutLondon’s air quality from Paragraph 2?A. Londoners are very satisfied with it.B. The government is trying to improve it.C Londoners should pay more attention to it.D. The government has done a lot to improve it.5. Duquesnoy attended the London Design Festival to _________.A. entertain Londoners.B. solve a world problem.C. design a product for sale.D. protect animals like pigeons.6. Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly acrossLondon?A. Because they are too expensive.B. Because they fly too quickly.C. Because they are forbidden.D. Because they fly too high.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Clean air inLondon.B. London’s dirty secret.C. London’s new pollution fighter.D. Causes of air pollution inLondon.CHave you ever been on social media and seen your favorite celebrity talking about a product? These promotions might not be totally random, and are actually seen as a vital part of the marketing process. The question is: How do social media influencers ‘influence’ what you buy?Human desire for status and making friends, combined with our need to belong to a group, makes us receptive to being ‘socially influenced’. Companies often use that desire to have a similar lifestyle to a celebrity we admire to sell or launch a product. So, what do these promotions actually do?Firstly, they can be used to build brand awareness. A social media influencer should have a strong understanding of the platform they operate on, and therefore can create appealing content that not only sticks to the brand image, but sparks their followers’ interests in a product they might never have seen before.Secondly, influencers can improve a company or product’s relationship with their customer base. According to InMoment’s 2018 US Retail CX Trends Report on customer loyalty, 77% of buyers have been brand loyal formore than ten years. This is also true of 60% of millennials. A popular celebrity can target key customers and talk or blog about a product, which can create an instant and lasting bond with them.Lastly, influencers can improve customer buying habits with seemingly ‘unbiased opinions’. We are more likely to respond to ‘peer recommendation’ than traditional ads, meaning the fact we see an influencer as a ‘friend’ can make us less likely to be doubtful about what we are seeing.So, the next time you see a celebrity talking about a product, you might want to consider that this could be a carefully worked-out marketing strategy designed to target your core needs. If you find yourself examining a product you’ve seen on social media, you may well have been influenced.8. Why do companies invite celebrities to launch products?A. Because celebrities can improve the companies’ public images.B. Because consumers like to share similarity with celebrities.C. Because celebrities want to make more money.D. Because consumers can make friends with celebrities.9. According to the passage, which strategy is often used by influencers?A. Setting up operation platforms.B. Sending gifts to customers.C. Improving relationship with the company.D. Taking advantage of their popularity.10. To customers, the recommendations of influencers seem to be ________.A. offensiveB. subjectiveC. objectiveD. misleading11. The passage is mainly about ________.A. how social media make adsB. how social media influence our lifestyleC. how social influencers affect our buyingD. how celebrities earn fameDBrown cows may not actually make chocolate milk, but pink silkworms（蚕）do produce pink silk, a team of scientists has discovered. To see if they could produce pre-dyed silk-silk that comes color1 ed, straight from the source-the team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry（桑树）leaves that had been sprayed（喷洒）with fabric（织物）dyes（染色剂）. Out of seven tested dyes, only one worked, producing a thread that reminded me of pink-dyed hair.And yes, the worms themselves take on some color1 before they produce silk. Their color1 ful diets did not affect their growth, the team, which included engineers and biologists from the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in India, reports in the journalACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. (The researchers didn't looktoo deeply into how the dyes affected the silkworms' health. After all, silkworms die when people harvest their silk.)The team made dyeing silk this way because color1 ing fabric normally uses large amounts of fresh water. The water gets polluted with dangerous chemicals in the process, requiring costly treatment before factories can send it back into waterways. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would avoid those water-washing steps. Scientists are just starting to study this idea. However, it remains to be seen if it's commercially successful. In this experiment, the Indian team tested seven dyes, which are cheap and popular in the industry.The scientists found different dyes moved through silkworms' bodies differently. Some never made it into the worms' silk at all. Others color1 ed the worms and their silk but the color1 disappears before the silk is turned into fabric. Only one dye, named "direct acid fast red", showed up in the final, washed silk threads. By the time it made it there, it was a pleasant, light pink.12. The text is most probably a(n) ________.A. science reportB. tourist guideC. animal experimentD. fashion advertisement13. Silkworms can produce pink silk because ________.A. they are born pinkB. they are dyed pinkC. they grow in pink waterD. they are fed dyed food14. Where is the experiment carried out?A. In America.B. In India.C. In Israel.D. In China.15. How many dyes have been proved successful in the experiment?A. One.B. Three.C. Five.D. Seven.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。

The decision was announced during the online meeting of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage held from December 14 to19 inKingston, capital ofJamaica.“Born in the mid-17th century in a small village named Chenjiagou located in Central China's Henan province, Tai Chi is not only a kind of traditional Wushu integrated with slow movements and deep breathing, but is also deeply rooted in many areas of Chinese culture, such as medicine and philosophy,”Zhu Xianghua says, who is the son of the famous Tai Chi master Zhu Tiancai.Although it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions, attracting more than 100 million people to practice, the idea that Tai Chi is for the elderly has stopped many young people practicing the ancient Wushu. They think of it as a slow exercise, which is specially made and better suited for their grandparents. Instead, many young people are turning to the Indian practice of yoga（瑜伽）to relieve stress, which was placed on the UNESCO's List in 2019.In order to promote Tai Chi, joint efforts have been made from individuals and the Chinese government in the last decades. Xi'an Jiaotong University requires students to learn Tai Chi. Wang Yunbing, a professor in the university's sports center, stressed that Tai Chi is not only good physical exercise-researchers from the American College of Rheumatology find that it can help manage several diseases but is also conned ted to ancient Chinese eivilization. Since 2014, the World Tai Chi Championships have been held every two years by the InternationalWushu Federation. It provides a platform for communication and learning between the Tai Chi masters and Tai Chi lovers around the globe. In January 2020, Tai Chi became an official event in the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games.4. What does Zhu Xianghua say about Tai Chi in paragraph 2?A. It originated from fast Kung Fu action.B. It was born around the 1750s in a village.C. It is related to other cultural fields ofChina.D. It integrates Chinese medicine and western philosophy.5. Why do some young people choose to practice yoga instead of Tai Chi?A. They think it easier to practice yoga to keep fit.B. The elderly stop young people practicing Tai Chi.C. They consider Tai Chi is custom-built for old people.D. Yoga was included in the world culture earlier than Tai Chi.6. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?A. To promote contemporary Chinese civilization.B. To show many efforts made to popularize Tai Chi.C. To stress the importance of Chinese Tai Chi masters.D. To advise people to practise Tai Chi to cure diseases.7.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Tai Chi Steps on the UNESCO's List.B. Tai Chi is Competing against Yoga.C. Tai Chi Has Regained populate Globally.D. Opinions Greatly Differ on Tai Chi and Yoga.CAccording to the study posted onScienceDirect, gardening just two to three times a week increase the benefits of better well-being as much as possible and lower stress levels.The research explored why residents engaged with gardening and the extent to which they recognized any health benefits from the activity.A questionnaire was handed out electronically within theUK, with 5,766 gardeners and 249 non-gardeners responding. Data was collected on factors including garden typology（类型学）, frequency of gardening andindividual awareness of health and well-being."This is the first time the dose response（剂量效应）to gardening has been tested and the evidence from the survey strongly suggests that the more frequently you garden, the greaterthe health benefits," said Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) lead author Dr Lauriane Chalmin-Pui. In fact, gardening every day has the same positive impact on well-being than undertaking regular and powerful exercise like cycling or running.When gardening, our brains are pleasantly entertained by nature around us. Gardening takes our attention away from ourselves and our stresses, therefore, it helps restore our minds and reduce unfavorable feelings.Improving health, however, was not the main motive power to garden, but rather the direct pleasure gardening brought to the participants."Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn't feel as exhausting and hard as going to the gym, for example, but we canexpendsimilar amounts of energy," Chalmin-Pui added.Most people say they garden for pleasure and enjoyment, so people who like gardening may be easy to be addicted to it. However, this sometimes may become a piece of good news, from the aspect of mental health. "We hope all the millions of new gardeners will be getting their daily gardening and feeling all the better for it. " Chalmin-Pui said in the interview.8. What can be inferred about gardening from the survey?A. Improving health is the aim of the participants.BGardening makes no difference to health.C. Health benefits from frequent gardening.D. Too much gardening always does harm to health.9. What does the underlined word "expend" mean in paragraph 7?A. Consume.B. Make use of.C. Increase.D. Save.10. Why do so many participantslike gardening?A. It isn't exhausting.B. It is good for health.C. It brings pleasure.D. It is like going to the gym.11. What is Chalmin-Pui's attitude to the new gardeners' gardening?A. Carefree.B. SupportiveC. Tolerant.D. Indifferent.DRecycling plastic has always been a stop-start effort, and the wide variety of plastics we produce, the pollution from waste, and other limitations make recycling an economic(经济) problem. It’s estimated(估计)only 9%of plastic ever created has been recycled. But with the help of a chemical process, Canadian Miranda Wang and her company BioCellection want to change that.Stability is one of plastic greatest qualities and downside. There's limited evidence that some plastics can biodegrade (生物降解)but largely photo-plastics degrade in the sun. It’s a long process, and the truth is that we can only estimate how long it takes. Wang is looking to break the inaction and BioCellection's task is to make most plastic waste recyclable.She outlines two current methods. One is to take plastics like water bottles, wash them, cut them, melt and reconstitute them. “That's a very limited process” she says, due to the requirement that plastics be “clean” . The other, which can handle dirtier plastics and a level of pollution, is called hydrolysis(热解). Intense heat is applied to break down plastics so they can be reused as oils for energy, but “it’s not economical,’’ she says.BioCellection’s solution builds on research from over ten years ago, Wang explains, when a US studydiscovered pure polyethylene powder (聚乙烯粉)could be broken down by a catalyst (催化剂). Wang and her co-founder Jean hit upon a bacterium being able to eat plastic. In the years since, they engineered a comparable catalyst capable of doing the same job, only faster, which even works on plastics no one else can recycle at present. “We have now found a catalyst that is much cheaper than the one that was used before, Wang says.Currently focusing on plastic films like shopping hags, the three-hour process breaks clown plastic into chemicals that can act as the building blocks for more complex plastic products.“Right now we’re able to achieve about 70% transformation from plastic waste material to these chemicals,” she adds, saying they’re working to increase that figure.12. Why has so little plastic been recycled?A. Plastic is chemically stable.B. Recycling plastic led to pollution.C. We produced various plastics.D. Most photo-plastics degrade in the sun.13. What does Wang think of the two current methods?A. Highly effective and dynamic.B. Expensive and pollution-causing.C. Limited and energy-consuming.D. Widely used and recognized.14. What did BioCellection find effective to recycle plastics?A. Polyethylene powder.B. Chemical products.C. Plastic films.D. A catalyst.15. What is the text mainly about?A. Miranda Wang and her company.B. A new plastic recycling method.C. The greatest downside of plastic.D. Transformation of plastic waste.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。
2022届安徽省舒城中学高三仿真模拟卷(三模)英语试题
2022届安徽省舒城中学高三仿真模拟卷（三模）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The US has countless secret swimming holes throughout most states, many of which you’ve likely never heard of unless you’re from the area.Havasu Falls (Arizona)This attractive waterfall in the Grand Canyon is undoubtedly a destination spot requiring a 10-mile walk to the falls. You can take a guided tour to the falls, or make it on your own. The Havasu Falls is on the Havasupai Indian Reservation, which means you’ll need to get a permit to visit — this has become increasingly difficult as more people discover this hidden place.Hamilton Pool (Austin)Hamilton Pool was created when an underground river’s roof fell down suddenly, exposing what is now the swimming hole and creating a 50-foot waterfall that flows over the above limestone (石灰岩). You’ll have to reserve beforehand to gain entry to the Hamilton Pool Preserve.Chutes and Ladders (Maul)To get to this secret swimming hole, you’ll have to grasp a rope and slide down the face of a cliff for 40 feet, and then climb down about 8 feet of lava rock to the pool. Once there, however, you’ll be glad you have made the journey. The swimming hole is on the edge of the ocean — a natural pool, you could say — with a depth that invites you to jump in without crowds of people around to watch.Homestead Crater (Utah)The Homestead Crater is hidden under a rock dome (穹顶) with an opening at the top that allows for sunlight and air. It was once only accessible by that top opening, but there is now easy access through a side path for visitors. Go for a swim in the beautiful mineral spring water.1．Which of the following do you need an official written statement to visit?A．Havasu Falls.B．Hamilton Pool.C．Chutes and Ladders.D．Homestead Crater.2．What do you need to get to Chutes and Ladders?A．A tour guide.B．An invitation.C．More outdoor skills.D．A reservation in advance.3．Which of the following can best describe the four places?A．They are hidden in some areas.B．They are shaped by limestone. C．They are created by local people.D．They are accessible through a hole.My students were taking a midterm examination when my phone erupted with an urgent message. “A student is having a panic attack,” texted a teaching assistant. I ran out of my office, ran down a flight of stairs and found the student—a pupil in my 350? person organic chemistry class—lying motionless on the ground outside the exam hall. “Did my exam really trigger a panic attack” I asked myself. “Why am I not prepared for a situation like this”It was the first time that I had taught the course. But I knew that the subject was challenging for my students. This was a source of stress for premed (医学预科的)students in particular, who feared that a low grade in organic chemistry would keep them from getting into medical schools.The following day, I was scheduled to deliver a lecture to the same class. I knew that I had to address what had happened during the midterm exam. So, I started by saying, “I want to take some time today to talk about something important. How many of you think that this is a weed out (淘汰的)course？” Half of my students raised their hands carefully. “I’m sorry to hear that,” I continued. “I want you all to know that I do not consider any of you to be weeds; you all deserve to be here.”I flashed a slide of flowers in various shapes. I smiled at my students and said, “I think of you as flowers—different flowers with different needs. You may not bloom at the same time, but you will bloom！You may not do well in a midterm exam, but you will learn from your mistakes and do better in the final exam. I believe this. I believe in you.”From that point on, my office hours were packed. Some asked about lecture topics and study strategies; others opened up about personal issues. I was amazed that a simple, frank discussion in a lecture could make such a difference.4．What made the pupil suffer a panic attack？A．Hidden personal issues.B．The stress caused by grades. C．Lacking study strategies.D．The heavy work of research. 5．What does the underlined word “trigger” in the first paragraph most probably mean？A．Cure.B．Prevent.C．Frighten.D．Cause. 6．Why did the author go to the same class the next day？A．To give the lesson according to the arrangement.B．To apologize and explain to his premed students.C．To give a speech on what happened in the test.D．To persuade all the students to stay in the class.7．Where can you find the authors encouragement to students？A．In paragraph 1.B．In paragraph 2.C．In paragraph 4.D．In paragraph 5.The late, great producer Phil Ramone worked with many famous popular singers. However, one of his albums is a little different. It’s classical music, made for children.“He actually started as a child violinist,” said Marc Neikrug, a famous classical composer who worked together with Ramone on the album, “Sunken Cathedrals,” after being introduced by Rock Positano, a doctor with a special interest in music’s value to medicine. “The three of us all want to promote classical music to children.”In the digital age when children develop surrounded by constant distractions, however, Neikrug sees a very particular value in classical music. “I’m concerned about a world in which there is an almost aggressive move to lower people’s attention spans,” he said. “‘That’s terrifying. How do you even absorb and learn things? How do you expect kids to do well in school?”“I think it’s really important to let kids build some kind of ability to focus,” Neikrug said. “Great music can do that, because you’re drawn into what you’re listening to.” A two-or three-minute music may not seem so long to concentrate on, but it’s a good attention span for kids,” he said. “We picked the pieces very deliberately to be not too long.”All of the pieces on the two-part album are unadapted, complete works of classical music. “Phil, Dr. Rock and I were all completely convinced that we need little, short; beautiful pieces for kids. They happen to be really good for adults too,” he pointed out, though the words “Classics for Kids” on the cover might scare some grown people off. This doesn’t mean you should throw all of your popular music albums away or trash all the screen devices in your home. “I’m not an advocate for disregarding the reality of living in this world,” Neikrug said. “I would say someone who grows up able to focus for an hour and equally ableto use the smartphone with one hand, is fine.”8．What did Marc Neikrug and Rock Positano have in common?A．They had the same career.B．They had the same interest.C．They had the same circle of friends.D．They had the same number of children. 9．What was Neikrug worried about?A．People’s decreasing attention spans.B．People becoming too aggressive. C．People’s low learning ability.D．People losing faith in school. 10．Why did Ramone and Neikrug select short pieces for the album?A．To attract distracted adults.B．Because of their own preference.C．To include more pieces in the album.D．Because of kids’ mental characteristics.11．What does the text want to tell us?A．Popular music producers turned to classical music.B．Classical music can coexist with digital devices.C．It’s never too late to listen to classical music.D．Kids can benefit from classical music.Sometime back, after a six-year-old lioness named Magigi repeatedly killed cattle, Botswana authorities caught and moved her into Central Kalahari Game Reserve, far from people. Magigi spent most of her time within the reserved protective boundaries, but after a year she escaped outside and was shot dead by a farmer. New research Maude and his colleagues have conducted confirms that Magigi's unfortunate story is common for many relocated lions. For decades, wildlife managers in a number of African countries have used such a kind way to deal with lions that repeatedly kill livestock (牲畜).But the new research shows that after lions are moved, most continue to kill livestock and endanger villagers' living.Across Africa, lion numbers have fallen by 43 percent in the past two decades, to as few as 23,000 animals today. About 3,000 remain in Botswana. The sharp declines are primarily driven by development-lions now occupy just 8 percent of their historic habitat. With less space set aside for conservation, lions are more frequently coming into contact with humans. These are usually farms, expanding around the edges of the protected areas. The lions eatlivestock, which negatively impacts the livelihood of the farmers in these rural areas. Without a proper way to prevent these attacks, the dinners often turn to deadly force, shooting or poisoning the lions, which has resulted in the decrease in lion population.Rather than trying to move lions, wildlife conservationist Glyn Maude says, emphasis should be placed on reducing the chances of lions encountering and killing livestock in the first place. Many preventative measures are being tested in various African countries, including hiring lion guardians (护卫者) to monitor these big cats, creating lion-proof fences, sending out lion text alerts, and teaching herders to keep livestock away from high-risk areas. 12．Why was Magigi moved to a reserve?A．To stop her from being caught.B．To prevent her from killing cattle.C．To get her to stay with her family.D．To train her to get along with people.13．What is the major reason for the decline in the lion population in Africa?A．Illegal wildlife trade.B．Human-lion conflict.C．A natural disaster.D．The lack of food in their habitat. 14．What can we infer from Maude's words in the last paragraph?A．Lions will be fenced in to avoid meeting people.B．The relocation of lions has proven to be effective.C．Prevention is the cure for lions' attacking livestock.D．It's impossible for lions to live with humans in harmony.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Big Cats' Relocation Proving DeadlyB．Lions Shot Dead after Attacking a ManC．The Tragic Story of a Magical LionessD．Conservation Status of the African Lion二、七选五It can be very easy to stick with what you know, instead of trying to meet people who are different from you. ___16___Here's what you can do:Become self-aware. ___17___This includes biases(偏见）about your own culturalbackground. It can be confronting, but by doing this you'll be able to think about how these traits might impact on your approach to and understanding of differences. You could try: Think about what assumptions you make about your friends, peers, and people you work with.Talk to someone from a different cultural background. Try and get to know someonefrom a different cultural background better. ___18___You'll automatically find out more about their life and experiences. Just being curious and open-minded can be helpful.Be more accepting. Sometimes, for one reason or another, it's not all that easy to understand some cultural differences. ___19___ In other words, you don't have to understand, or even agree with, someone in order to accept them.___20___ One of the biggest difficulties to overcome in understanding cultural differences is making judgments based on one opinion. You should do some research to actually learn about people, instead of making broad-brush assessments. Stereotyping(模式化）people from different cultural backgrounds can impact their quality of life and opportunities. A．Do your own research.B．Think beyond stereotypes.C．Practice being sympathetic towards people.D．Work out your own beliefs, values and personal biases.E．Instead of asking them questions directly, treat them as friends.F．And the best approach is to acknowledge people are different and to accept that's okay. G．However, trying to understand people from other countries can help you experience more.三、完形填空完形填空阅读下面短文，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。

I am Christopher Intagliata.The Apollo missions brought back 842 pounds of rock and soil from the moon, that's nearly 2200 different samples. But the most interesting one, according to a scientist Meenakshi Wadhwa, is a sample named "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5collected by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11.“He was about to step back into the lunar module(登月舱) when he turned around and saw there were little spaces in the rock box. He knew that geologists on earth would be just so excited to study these materials, so he just scooped up nine scoops(勺) of soil and put it into the box." Wadhwa explained.It was one of the most well studied samples of the Apollo missions. And a geologist named John Wood noticed white flecks(微粒) of rock in the soil, which inspired him to dig deeper into the moon's ancient past.“This was quite a leap of imagination — he proposed that the whole of the moon had been almost covered with a magma(岩浆) ocean nearly 4.5 billion years ago. This was a revolutionary idea at the time, because people had thought the moon had formed cold, so it completely changed our idea how the moon formed.”But Wadhwa has a more personal reason to appreciate this sample. She met her husband Scott Parazynski also because of this rock sample. Scott, a mountaineer at that time, wanted to climbMount Everestwith a moon rock while Wadhwa was the chairman of the NASA committee that gives access to the samples for scientific purposes.Neil Armstrong's last-minute scoop of moon dust brought two people together here on Earth and upturned our understanding of how the moon — and the Earth itself-got here.Thank you for listening for Scientific American's 60-Second Science.4. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that ________ .A. Neil Armstrong was excited to find the soilB. the spaceship was about to land on the moonC.

What is the text mainly about?A. A romantic story of a moon rock.B. A big leap made by Neil Armstrong.C. An unusual task for Apollo missions.D. An unexpected discovery in moon exploration.CBertha von Suttner received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905—she was the first woman to receive it, and also the inspiration for the creation of the Nobel Prize.She met Alfred Nobel, a rich millionaire, by answering hisnewspaper ad for a secretary. Although she only worked for him for a few weeks, she remained good friends with Alfred Nobel for the next 20 years. When she became involved in the peace movement inEurope, she promised to keep Nobel informed of its progress. When Alfred Nobel died in 1896, his will included the establishment of a peace prize, thanks to Bertha von Suttner’s influence.Bertha von Suttner was born in an aristocratic (贵族) military family, but she spent the second half of her life working for peace. She wrote books, attended peace conferences, gave lectures and helped organize peace societies inAustria,GermanyandHungary, as well as the International Peace Bureau inSwitzerland. Her novel Lay Down your Arms, was one of the most influential anti-war books of all time, and helped to make her a leader of the peace movement in Europe. Its end to war theme was both the ambition (抱负) and the most important goal in the life of this great woman.Bertha von Suttner worked so hard for peace because she believed that a terrible war would break out inEuropeif nations didn’t work hard to establish lasting peace institutions. She made many major achievements for a more peaceful world, but two months after she died, World War I broke out. A hundred years after she won the Nobel Peace Prize, nations still seem to view war as a choice to work out their problems. But like Bertha vonSuttner did, many today are working hard around the world to help strengthen peace institutions and spread the idea that it’s time to put an end to war.8. Which of the following is true about Bertha von Suttner?A. She worked for Alfred Nobel for 20 years.B. She helped Alfred Nobel draw up his will.C. She persuaded Alfred Nobel to join the peace movement.D. She inspired Alfred Nobel to establish the Nobel Peace Prize.9. Paragraph 3 is mainly about Bertha von Suttner’s _____________.A. efforts and contributions to the peace movement.B. family background and work experiences.C. writing career and life experiences.D. ambition and goals in life.10. What do we know aboutLay Doun Your Arms?A. It was based on a true story.B. It recorded Bertha von Suttner’s daily life.C. It was about an aristocratic military family.D. It showed Bertha von Suttner’s wish for peace.11. What can we infer about Bertha von Suttner from the last paragraph?A. Her fight for peace is still shared by many.B. She failed to found peace institutions.C. She successfully predicted awar.D. She lost her life in World War I.DPreventing heart disease is a topic I think about all the time, given my family history of heart disease. So last summer, I travelled toBolivia.The natives, called the Tsimane, were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world. I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease.Getting to the Tsimane wasn't easy. They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks. We finally found one of the villages at sunset. That night, we set up our tents in the middle of the village. Thatched huts surrounded us, with no electricity or modem conveniences.At first, I thought they mainly got their calorics from meat. However, I found food such as rice and com madeup nearly 70% of their diet. The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts.During my stay there, I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids. I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours. Men spent lots of time tracking animals. Fanning and gathering, mostly done by children and women, were all-day affairs.I also got a clear idea of how they rested. As soon as the sun went down, people returned to their huts and went to sleep. And with the call of the cock in the morning, another day began.The lifespan of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in theUS. Various factors, like animal attacks and infections, bring down the lifespan. But up until the day they die, they are often very healthy. While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day, the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesn't necessarily buy health.12. Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease?A. He dreams of becoming a doctor.B. He wants to teach others about the topic.C. His family members encourage him to do so.D. He was born with a high risk of heart disease.13. Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research?A. Housing, food and cooperation.B. Diet, activity and rest.C. Physical work, social life and lifespan.D. Group size, family history and consumption14. What was the Tsimane 's sleep-wake cycle mainly based on?A. Natural sound.B. Routine activity.C. Animal behaviour.D. Natural light.15. What might the author advise us to do after his travels inBolivia?A. Take in less sugar and salt.B. Stand less and walk more.C. Eat white meat instead of red meat.D. Live in the middle of the community.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。

Perhaps，it is true．But what I think more often now is that living without it teaches us responsibility．I try to live each day at the maximum in order to regret nothing．This is actually what our parents always try to do when we are children．But you know what？I am glad that no time machine has been invented．5.What's the writer's main purpose of writing Paragraph 1？______A.

安徽省舒城中学2020┄2021届高三寒假作业三英语试题
试卷（三）第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze starts to lose its focus—until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns; she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world？Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer？ The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness？ When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects （a comb, a key, an orange and so on）, changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three？ No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when theythen heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.21. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s ______.A. sense of sight.B. sense of hearing.C. sense of touch.D. sense of smell.22. Babies are sensitive to the change in ______.A. the size of cards.B. the colour of pictures.C. the shape of patterns.D. the number of objects.23. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats？A. T o reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. T o carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies’ interest.BWhat is life？What’s the truth of our life？We usually don’t realize what we have got until we really lose it; we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives, either.It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content with the fact that it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one’s appearance; it can deceive you. Do not rely on wealth; even that fadesaway. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who try, and those who appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.24. If you put yourself in another person’s position, _______.A. you should depend on your imaginationB. you should put on other peopl e’s shoesC. you shouldn’t do what will hurt other peopleD. you should believe in other people25. According to the passage which of the following statements is TRUE？A. If it takes you a short time to love someone, you will easily forget the person.B. If you give someone your love, you are sure to receive love in return.C. We often don’t know what we have lost until it happens someday.D.

FranceEveryone wants to see the major sights of Paris and it's true, it'd be criminal to leave town without visiting the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, etc. But to truly appreciate this city, you need to get away from the tourist sights. Put yourself down at a table in a small cafe, enjoy a glass of wine and watch the world go by.Don't miss：Deportation Memorial, Ile St.-Louis, Musee d'Orsay2 Chamonix, FranceAs host of the first Winter Olympics in 1924, Chamonix will always have a place in the history books. Its main attractions are Mont-Blanc （Western Europe's tallest mountain） and the many ski areas that face the Chamonix Valley. Steep slopes and extreme weather conditions suit advanced skiers best, but there are also runs for beginners.Don’t miss：Chamonix Mont Blanc, Vallee Blanche3 Nice, FranceNice has a multinational Riviera vibe, and you'll enjoy exploring its fashionable shops and restaurants and sunning yourself on its popular beaches. （Just don't expect soft sand-these beaches have pebbles.） Walk up to Castle Hill for a beautiful view of the city, the Bay of Angels and the bright blue water that gave the Cote d'Azur its name.Don't miss：Castle Hill, Old Town4 Cannes, FranceParties, ship-racings, the Film Festival characterize Cannes, Vast racing ships vague the view and the town lives up to its motto, "Life is a festival." People-watching is the activity that brings most visitors to Cannes, and hotel-lined La Croisette provides a fine walkway. First popularized by Coco Chanel, Cannes beaches are a huge draw.

To inform readers of some activities in France．D. To convince readers into trying French food and wine．DHuman beings have spread to every continent, sometimes driving other animal species to extinction in the process．It has become the most widely spread species on the planet, occupying mountains and valleys, deserts and jungles, shorelines and islands, yet always finding some good means of living in these widely differing environments. The total weight of all living members of the species is far heavier than that of any other animal, and the human population is now growing so rapidly that it will double within the next thirty-five years．What accounts for the success of our species？ The answer, in a word, is culture. We create culture, but culture in turn creates us．We are consequently no longer the victims of the environment．We make our own social environment, inventing and sharing the rules andpatterns of behaviour that shape our lives and we use our learned knowledge to make the natural environment more suitable to live in. Our shared culture is what makes social life possible. Without a culture transmitted （传承） from the past, each new generation would have to solve the most basic problems of human existence over again. It would have to think up a family system, to invent a language, to discover fire , to create the wheel, and so on.Culture frees us from relying on the slow and accidental process of physical evolution by offering us a new, purposive , efficient means of adapting to changing conditions. If we waited for natural selection to enable us to live at the North Pole, to fly to the moon, or to live under the sea , we would wait forever. Unlike other animals, we can self-consciously adapt to our environments and can adapt environments to meet our own needs.32．The writer’s purpose in the first paragraph is to show ______.A. how crowded our planet isB. how successful human beings areC. that human population is now growing rapidlyD. that other animal species have been very weak in the competition with man33． According to the passage , human beings ______.A. are the victims of the environmentB. rely on other animal species for their successC. make social environment and change natural environmentD. change social environment and make natural environment34． It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. culture should rely on the process of physical evolutionB. we would have to wait forever to fly to the moonC. we can never adapt environments to meet our own needsD. family systems belong to culture35．The best title for the passage would be “________________” ．A. Human BeingsB. Natural SelectionC. The Role of CultureD. Social and Natural Environments第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

couldn't speak a word of English． Not even "hello"． Nothing． I was 18，I'd been working for my dad's restaurant in Milan and I wanted a new experience． My friend from home lived in London an d he used to tell me how incredible it was． I was really bored and so I took my luggage and left．I was so lost when I arrived at Stansted． To me， Englishsounded like Chinese． I only arrived with a few hundred pou nds． I lived with my friend in east London for a while． I coul dn't find a job for a month． Finally I found a waiter role in a r estaurant． At the time， I had nothing else going on in my lif e． I used to get up， go to work， and sleep． It was so bori ng． Then one day on my lunch break， I saw a Gymbox．When I took a look in， there was an amazing Muay Thai． I used to do boxing when I was 15 but I wasn't that serious abo ut it． There and then I joined the gym and signed up to the T hai boxing team．I fell in love with it． I never missed a session． I started tr aining a lot and the head coach said to me one day， "Do you want to fight？" I knew that's what I wanted to do． He put me in competition s and I won my first nine amateur games． After watching me progress， they offered to help me fight professionally． Ho wever， at one point I had a motorcycle crash and was out for 18 months． This year I've fought in Milan and London． I'd say I'm about 12 fights away from becoming a

cl oud their vision． Zero was a highly trained， driven alert dog ． So， at competitions， when he started running into obsta cles and falling off the ends of teeter﹣totters（跷跷板）， his owner， San Francisco﹣area dog trainer Dianne Morey， was concerned．As time passed， she noticed a pattern． The problems on ly occurred at competitions held in horse arenas， where yell ow obstacles blended into the color of the sand covering the fl oor． Concerned about his eyesight， Morey took Zero to a v et， who diagnosed him with a genetic condition． Morey fou nd the diagnosis "heartbreaking．" After one last competition ﹣ which he won﹣ Zero retired． In the time since， he's led a life full of activiti es like dock diving and hiking， where poor vision is less dan gerous． While there's no cure for his disease， protective ey ewear has helped keep him safe while being active．On average， dogs develop nearsightedness or farsightedness less often than humans， says Alexandra vander Woerd t at Animal Medical Center in New York City． However， the ir eyesight also declines with age． Injuries and some diseas es such as glaucoma（青光眼） can cloud their vision． Thinking back， Morey realizes some behaviors ﹣ for instance， the way Zero poked his nose before entering a gate ﹣ were signshis vision was impaired．Identifying vision issues in dogs isn't as easy as with huma ns． Dogs don't bark wrong letters on the eye chart， and the y're very good at adapting． Treatments for eye problems ma y include eyedrops， medications or surgery． Eyewear can also play a role in treating or preventing many issues． Many

"blended" in the s econd paragraph？A．added．B．missed．C．needed．D．mixed．（4）What makes it difficult to identify dogs' vision problems？A．They are too fierce to control．B．They don't like to wear eyewear．C．They adapt to the poor sight easily．D．They bark wrong letters on the eye chart．14．（8分）The third﹣generation hybrid rice which was developed by Yuan Longpin g， the "father of hybrid rice"，and his team underwent its first public yield（产量）monitoring from Monday to Tuesday and achieved high output ． The final yield of the tested variety， G3﹣1S/P19， came to 1046.3 kg per mu （about 667 square met ers）， based on two plots of land in Qingzhu Village under t he city of Hengyang in central China's Hunan Province．"Some previous high﹣yielding hybrid rice varieties in China took 160 to even 180 da ys from sowing to harvesting， while the figure was shortened to around 125 days for the new variety． This is one of the m ost important characteristics of the third﹣generation hybrid rice that can reduce the use of pesticides a nd fertilizers， thus reducing cost and improving production ef ficiency．" said Qian Qian， the deputy director of the China National Rice Research Institute．Unlike the previous two generations that required a large a mount of water and fertilizers as well as demanding growing c onditions and technological support， the third﹣generation hybrid rice is easier to be cultivated by ordinary far mers． So the soil， altitude and climate of the test site were not "ideal conditions" carefully selected beforehand but were close to the paddies of ordinary farmers．Nowadays， China's average yield of rice is about 500 kg per mu． Ordinary farmers can produce 600kg to 700 kg of rice per mu by growing some excellent second﹣generation hybrid rice varieties． However， under the same planting conditions and environment， the yield of the third﹣generation hybrid rice could reach 800 kg per mu． China no w feeds around 20 percent of the world's population with less than 9 percent of the world's arable（可耕种的）land．At present， Yuan's team has nine third﹣generation hybrid rice combinations under trial， which are ex pected to achieve commercial seed production in the followin g three to four years and hope to apply the technology into th e research of sea rice． The third﹣generation hybrid rice has the comprehensive strength to pro mote a greener and more sustainable development of China's rice production with higher quality and yield．（1）What feature of the new hybrid rice does Qian Qian mainly tal k about？A．It saves a lot more water．B．It achieves a higher yield．C．It saves much more farmland．D．It has a shorter growing period．（2）Why is the new hybrid rice not tested in ideal areas？A．The ordinary farmers master planting technology．B．The researchers want to reduce the experiment cost．C．The growing conditions the new hybrid rice needs are sim ple．D．The previous rice farming provides researchers with exper ience．（3）What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？A．The high output of the third﹣generation hybrid rice．B．The promising future of the new hybrid rice variety．C．The advanced technology of the research on hybrid rice．D．The differences between the three hybrid rice varieties．（4）Which one could be the best title of the text？A．The Development of China's RiceB． The Contribution of the Great ScientistC．The High Yield of the New Hybrid RiceD． The Way to Feed the World's Population第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．15．（10分）China has been the birthplace of many of the world's greatest inventions． It

incredible it was． I was really bored and so I took my luggage and left．I was so lost when I arrived at Stansted． To me， English sounded like Chinese． I only arrived with a few hundred pounds． I lived with my friend in east London for a while． I coul dn't find a job for a month． Finally I found a waiter role in a restaurant． At the time， I had nothing else going on in my life． I used to get up， go to work， and sleep． It was so borin g． Then one day on my lunch break， I saw a Gymbox． When I took a look in， there was an amazing Muay Thai． I used to do boxing when I was 15 but I wasn't that serious about it ． There and then I joined the gym and signed up to the Thai boxing team．I fell in love with it． I never missed a session． I started training a lot and the head coach said to me one day， "Do you want to fight？" I knew that's what I wanted to do． He put me in competitions and I won my first nine amat eur games． After watching me progress， they offered to help me fight professionally． Ho wever， at one point I had a motorcycle crash and was out for 18 months． This year I've fo ught in Milan and London． I'd say I'm about 12 fights away from becoming a winner．Sometimes I can't believe how far I've come from that day I arrived in England． I think ev erything that's happened has been because I'm committed． But anyone could do it． If you put in 100%， you'll get there．

vision． Zero was a hi ghly trained， driven alert dog． So， at competitions， when he started running into obstacl es and falling off the ends of teeter﹣totters（跷跷板）， his owner， San Francisco﹣area dog trainer Dianne Morey， was concerned．As time passed， she noticed a pattern． The problems only occurred at competitions hel d in horse arenas， where yellow obstacles blended into the color of the sand covering the fl oor． Concerned about his eyesight， Morey took Zero to a vet， who diagnosed him with a genetic condition． Morey found the diagnosis "heartbreaking．" After one last competition ﹣ which he won﹣ Zero retired． In the time since， he's led a life full of activities like dock diving and hiking， where poor vision is less dangerous． While there's no cure for his disease， protective eye wear has helped keep him safe while being active．On average， dogs develop nearsightedness or farsightedness less often than humans，says Alexandra vander Woerdt at Animal Medical Center in New York City． However， thei r eyesight also declines with age． Injuries and some diseases such as glaucoma（青光眼） can cloud their vision． Thinking back， Morey realizes some behaviors ﹣ for instance， the way Zero poked his nose before entering a gate ﹣ were signshis vision was impaired．Identifying vision issues in dogs isn't as easy as with humans． Dogs don't bark wrong lett ers on the eye chart， and they're very good at adapting． Treatments for eye problems may include eyedrops， medications or surgery． Eyewear can also play a role in treating or pre venting many issues． Many dogs don't like eyewear at first． Zero was an exception， than ks to his training in agility and tricks， Morey says．（1）What made Dianne Morey concerned？A．Her trained dog Zero fell off in competitions．B．She was badly hurt by a dog in a competition．C．She found her eyesight was declining with age．D．Her trained dog Zero wasn't as clever as before．（2）What can we know from the second paragraph？A．Zero is retiring soon．B．Zero's disease can't be cured．。
英语_2020年安徽省某校高考英语三模试卷含答案
2020年安徽省某校高考英语三模试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共4小题；每小题6分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选项涂黑．1. When film was first invented in the late 1800s and early 1900s, movie﹣goers could actually see images of far﹣away places, like China, and that fueled interest in thearea． Throughout history, many Chinese Americans are devoted in this area． Now, the back room of the Formosa Cafe looks like a museum that honors the works of Chinese Americans and their contributions to Hollywood．Chinese stereotypes（刻板印象）Stereotypes of the Chinese in America were strengthened by the otherness ofU． S． China towns in the late 1800s and early 1900s． There was an idea that the Chinese was the "yellow peril" , who you couldn't trust． And that resulted in the character called Fu Manchu． Fu Manchu was an evil character who wanted to destroy the western world． He appeared in movies and in a television series．In 1926, Charlie Chan, a Chinese investigator from Hawaii, appeared for the first time in a movie． This created a different, yet still problematic Asian stereotype．"Yellow face" actorsCharlie Chan and Fu Manchu may have been Chinese characters, but the actors were usually white men made up to look like Asian． Actors Sidney Toler, Roland Winters and Ross Martin all played Charlie Chan． Yellow face meant they actually yellowed up their skin． White actors just played the lead characters in The Good Earth, a 1937 film about Chinese farmers． Asian actors had parts in the film, but they needed bankableactors, however, there were no Asian American bankable actors．China factorsOver the years, Asian and Chinese Americans did find work in Hollywood, and a few earned a star on the Hollywood Walk for Fame． Hollywood is also changing the way it presents the Chinese culture． As the biggest market for movies outside theU． S, Hollywood has been making films that will not offend movie﹣goers in China or the country's government． The industry has been careful not to show the Chinese as evil． Co﹣productions between Hollywood and Chinese companies put Chinese characters and China in a favorable or satisfactory way．（1）Why is the back room of the Formosa Caf6 mentioned？________A To show appreciation for Chinese American filmmakers．B To display the richness of Chinese American films．C To attract more customers to enjoy coffee in the FormosaCaf6． D To recommend a place to mover﹣goers to learn Chinese American films．．（2）What can be known about Charlie Chan？________A He could be found in a TV series．B He was an actor bearing evilreputation． C He represented investigators from Hawaii． D He wasn't much appreciated by movie﹣goers then．．（3）What can be concluded about Chinese American films？________A Chinese actors were preferred in casting Chinese roles．B They focused on evil Chinese eager to ruin America．C China factors are positively viewed inthem． D They have been introducing Chinese stereotypes．2. This is the colourful waste created by a Swedish city with a unique recycling system． Like many cities in Sweden, Eskilstuna has an impressive recycling record． It met the EU 2020 target of recycling 50% of waste many years ago． But almost everyone who lives here follows a strict recycling policy at home． People are expected to sort their household waste into seven separate categories, including food, textiles, cartons（纸板箱）and metal． But what really makes the system stand out is the bright colour code．The reason for this becomes clear at the city's recycling plant． The bags arrive all ________ up because they're collected altogether in a rush, once a fortnight from outside people's houses． But thanks to those bright colors, scanners can select the bags and separate them efficiently． The food waste in green bags is processed on site into a certain thick liquid to make burnable gas, which powers the city's buses． One of the benefits of this method of recycling is that there is less crosspollution, so more of the recycled waste can actually be used to make new things． Like the rest of Sweden, Eskilstuna is committed to sending zero waste from its citizens to landfill． Waste that cannot be recycled is burnt at a local plant to generate electricity． This reduces reliance on fossil fuels, but does create greenhouse gases． As countries around the world try to improve their recycling rates, some may look to Eskilstuna as an example to follow as long as they think they can persuade their citizens toget busy sorting at home．（1）What can we learn about Eskilstuna？________A It is flooded with colorful waste．B It is best﹣known for waste﹣recycling． C Waste there is painted into seven colors． D Rubbish recycling is handled seriously there．．（2）What does the underlined word "jumbled" in paragraph 2 mean？________A Mixed together．B Collected orderly．C Sealed cautiously．D Piled purposefully．．（3）What may the new recycle﹣system bring about？________A The increase in the efficiency of waste recycling．B The convenience to the citizensin waste dropping． C The avoidance of rubbish related environmentalproblems． D The decrease of profit for waste plants．．（4）Where is this text most likely from？________A Parents．B In style．C Fortune．D The New York Times．3. Chocolates, syrup（糖浆）, cream on top, many of the hot drinks we consume even more at this time of year certainly sound sugary, but just how much sugar they containmight come as a shock．The health campaign group Action on Sugar has found that Starbucks hot chocolate made with milk has almost 94 grams of sugar． That equals 23 teaspoons． At Caffe Nero, thesalted hot chocolate packs in almost 60 grams of sugar, about 15 teaspoons． And Casta's cream latte（拿铁）has 32 grams of sugar, that's 8 teaspoons．The drink makers won't have those details listed next to the price． If known, it would be quite alarming． That's how capitalism works． The capitalists have to get people addictedto certain things to keep selling it more． If told the amount of sugar contained, many would take hot drinks just as a treat not on a daily basis． Some drinks have actually reduced in sugar over the past few years, but many more haven't． The most sugary seasonal drink was from Starbucks with more than 14 teaspoons of sugar． Other companies like breakfast cereal manufacturers and yogurt manufacturers are reducing sugar． And so is softdrinks, yet the milk based drinks, milk shakes, hot chocolates and lattes just don't seem to have changed in the same way．And while some companies are actually being really responsible reducing theirsugar, some have actually increased that in the last two years which just seems ridiculous． Coffee chains do offer low﹣ calorie alternatives． But Action on Sugar are still calling for more tax on hot coffee drinks． Not much of a Christmas present for the coffee chains, but maybe a gift in the long term for our health．（1）What does the first two paragraphs mainly talk about？________A Consumers favor sugar contained hot drinks．B The amount of sugar in some hot drinks is frightening．C Famous hot drink makers prefer hot chocolateseries． D Cream latte is the signature hot drink for Starbucks．．（2）What can we learn about hot drink makers？________A Most of them are trying to reduce sugar in certain drinks．B Chocolate and syrup are irreplaceable part of their products．C They won't show the consumer how much sugar a drink contains．D Four of them have been investigated by the health campaign group．．（3）What's the writer's attitude toward the hot drink makers？________A Supportive．B Doubtful．C Objective．D Reserved．．（4）How can the sugar﹣originated hot drink problem be eased？________A Taxes can be raised on hot drink makers like coffee chains．B More official groupslike Action on Sugar could be founded． C Sugar content can be labeled in place of the price for hot drinks． D Warnings can be given to those enjoying weekly hot drinks．4. Do some kinds of video games cause violence? Scientific studies do not suggest a link． But the idea that there is a link between violent video games and violent acts reappeared following the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, last weekend． An online statement thought to be written by the El Paso gunman mentioned the video game "Call of Duty"．On Monday, President Donald Trump said that " terrifying video games" contribute to a "glorification of violence''． American politicians have long made similarstatements． Benjamin Burroughs is a professor of media at the University of Las Vegas． He said that there is no linkage to gun violence, when mentioning video games． Burroughs pointed out that some studies show a short﹣term increase inaggressive thoughts and feelings after playing video games, but nothing that rises to the level of violence． "Plenty of gamers get upset when they lose or feel the game was'cheating', but it doesn't lead to violent outputs, " Burroughs stressed．In 2006, a small study by researchers at Indiana University found that teenagers who played violent video games showed higher levels of emotional arousal（激发）﹣﹣﹣strong emotions like anger or fear． The teenagers also showed less activity in the parts of the brain associated with the ability to plan, control and direct thoughts and behavior．Patrick Markey, the psychology professor, found in his research that men who commit severe acts of violence actually play violent video games less than the averagemale． Another study by Markey and other researchers showed that violence tends to go down when a new violent movie or video game comes out． One possible explanation is that people are at home playing the game or in theaters watching the movie． Markey believes that video games might excite people, but they do not change who people are． "It is like going to see a sad movie, " Markey said of playing video games． "It might make you cry but it doesn't make you clinically depressed, " he said．（1）Why is the mass shooting in El Paso， Texas mentioned in the first paragraph？________A To show the necessity of scientific studies．B To support the writer's own viewpoint．C To show the seriousness of violent acts．D To serve as evidence for the assumption．．（2）What are the similarities between Benjamin Burroughs and Patrick Markey？________ A B Both acknowledge video game aroused emotional change． C Both present their ideas through doing research． D Both worry about the potential dangers caused by video games．．（3）What can be learned about the research in 2006？________A Teenagers tested in it become more emotional．B Its findings set alarm for young video game players．C Teenagers mentioned in it mainly come fromIndiana． D Its researchers are strongly for banning video games．．（4）What is the best title for the text？________A Violence﹣a by﹣product of video games．B Video games﹣the cause of violence or not．C Video games﹣the promoter of the mass shoot．D Violence﹣a threat for game players or not．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5. Empathy（共情），the ability to understand other people， has dropped sharply among college students over the past 10 years．（1）_______Turn on the TV， and you're showed with news and reality shows full of people， fighting， competing， and generally treating one another with no respect． Human beings learn by example and most of the examples onTV are anything but empathetic．（2）_______Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human and having empathy is decisive to it． Researchers have also found that the empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self﹣respect． Besides， empathy can be a cure for loneliness，sadness， anxiety and fear．（3）_______Many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they expect from new managers．（4）_______Apparently， empathy is a kind of "emotional intelligence" that will help us achieve it．Then，（5）_______For starters， let down your guard and really listen to others． One doesn't develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking． To really develop empathy， you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital join a club or a team that has a diverse membership， have a " sharing circle" with your family， or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter．A．How can we take advantage of empathy？B．Empathy is even an indication of a good leader．C．What's the best way to improve empathy？D．There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples．E．Today， people spend more time alone rather than join clubs．F．That might be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time．G．Academics are vital but without emotional intelligence， you won't be successful in life．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节完形填空（共20题；每小题1.5分，满分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．6.

In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a permanent population of approximately 36,000, more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it the number one spring break destination in the United States.A week-long drinking binge is not for everyone, however, and a growing number of American university students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining or leading a group of volunteers to travel locally or internationally and work to address problems such as poverty, homelessness, or environmental damage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel good at.During one spring break week, students at James Madison University in Virginia participated in 15 “alternative spring break” trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five international trips. One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a homeless shelter. One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand. They performed exhausting physical labor such as removinginvasive plant species that threaten the native Florida ecosystem.Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding. While most university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are able to help people now. On the other hand, the accommodations are far from glamorous. Students often sleep on the floor of a school or church, or spend the week camping in tents. But students only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their peers spend to travel to more traditional spring break hot spot.28．How many university students travel to Panama Beach City every March for spring break?A．Around 36,000. B．Around 50,000. C.Around 500,000.D．Around 10,000.29．The underlined word “binge” in paragraph 2 probably means ______.A．doing too much of something B．studying for too long C．refusing to do something D．having very little alcohol 30．Which of the following gives the main idea of the third paragraph?A．One group of JMU students worked on homes damaged by a hurricane.B．Children living in homeless shelters enjoy creative activities.C．Some students work to help the environment on alternative spring break trips.D．University students do different types of work on alternative spring break trips.31．What is implied in this article is that ______.A．university students spend more than $250 for traditional spring break tripsB．university students complain about the accommodations on alternativespring break tripsC．university students may take fewer alternative spring break trips in the futureD．university students would prefer to wait until they have their degrees to start helping peopleDHumans aren’t the only ones getting a buzz from coffee．Caffeine can improve memory among honeybees and lead to better pollination(授粉)．According to a recent study published in the journal Science．The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom．They found that the nectar(花蜜)of some flowers，such as those from grapefruit and lemon plants，as well as certain coffee flowers，contains low doses of caffeine．To get bees to feed on these flowers，the team trained the insects to associate food with the smell of the flowers．They also trained another group of bees to feed on nectar from flowers that were sweetened with a sugar, but did not contain caffeine．After 24 hours，the bees trained on caffeinated flowers returned to these plants three times as often as those trained on the sweetened flowers returned to the uncaffeinated plants．Professor Geraldine Wright led the researchers．“Remem bering floral traits(花部特征)is difficult for bees to perform at a fast pace as they fly from flower to flower and we found that caffeine helps the bee remember where the flowers are，”Wright said in a statement．Improved memory led to the better pollination．That’s because once bees sip the caffeine nectar, they continue to look for more coffee plants to pollinate．This also suggests that caffeine plays a role in improving the bees’ability to search for food．Rese archers found that caffeine’s effect on the bee brain is similar to its effect on mammals．“The change is similar to that produced by caffeine in neurons(神经元)associated with learning and memory in the rat brain，”Wright said．Bee populations have declining since 2020．The dramatic drop in the insects’numbers has serious effects for ecosystems and the farming industry．Bees are needed in the reproduction of crops and spreading wild flower species．Understanding what keeps bees buzzing could help to make sure that the insects are able to remember and pollinate their favorite flowers．32. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A．Caffeine has no effect on the rat brain．B. Bee population has been increasing．C．The nectar of lemon plants contains caffeine．D．Bees dislike nectar from sweetened flowers．33. After reading the passage，John，who works in the farming industry, will probably feel________.A．annoyed B．angry C．nervous D．excited34. Which of the following relationship is correct according to the passage?A．improved memory—caffeine nectar—better pollinationB．caffeine nectar—improved memory—better pollinationC．improved memory—better pollination—caffeine nectarD．caffeine nectar—better pollination—improved memory35. What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?A．Science B．Education C．Culture D．Sports第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
