Boscobel’s Boa rd of Directors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of former Boscobel board member, Fances Stevens Reese (1917-2003), one year after his death.The trail(小径) is approximately 10 miles in length, leading down to Constitution Forest. When the West Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil War, trees for miles around were cleared to provide firewood. Walking out of the forest, you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.Throughout this country path, you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants local to this region. You will also find signs with historic and environmental information written by area specialists.When you take a walk through this “undiscovered” forest land, pleas e be a considerate guest.Before walking the trail, please purchase a pass in the Carriage House. Plan ahead, so you will be back by closing time.Follow the trail markers and remain on the trail. Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem, you will reduce the risk of poison plants and snakes.Leave rocks, plants, animals and art works where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail. If you happen to see a piece of litter, be a good guest and pick it up.1.When was the trail named to honor Frances Stevens Reese?A.In 1997.

He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth centre Kidpreneur.In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that centre. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood – a low –income area in Sydney’s western suburbs – and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences – Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot – dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneur(创业) story with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all- time high.The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot – dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after, he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase potential customer base.All of his would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisoralso helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.4.What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?A.To improve their test scores.

D.Express.7.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.On the Road to RecoveryB.Turning Failure into Success.C.Growing Wealthy through Hard Work.D.From Hopeless Youth to Business LeaderA woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church-goer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It’s extremely attractive and also memorable, to the point that it has become a problem.In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out "photo free" hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. Astudy recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have; a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be "a photo-taking playland. " Yet a lot of people do‑ and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28 ticket to be more valid than another. "If we removed social media and photography," she says, "we would risk becoming irrelevant. " 8.What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?A.To get her phone. B.To take a photo.C.To escape the crowd. D.To push ahead.9.How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?A.By setting periods without photo-taking.B.By making the exhibition free of charge.C.By compromising with the government.D.By extending the free exhibition hours.10.The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may . A.uncover the truthB.play a negative roleC.accumulate evidenceD.cause many complaints11.Which of the following may Linda Butler support?A.Catering to visitors.B.Reducing admission prices.C.Reserving judgement in public.D.Banning social media and photography.Most autonomous vehicles test-driving in cities navigate (导航) by using 3-D maps marking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy. But few places have been mapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to those driverless cars.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now have developed anew navigation system that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps. This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driver would by continually scanning its surroundings, with a laser sensor (激光感应器), to measure how close it is to the edges of the road. Meanwhile, the car also follows a tool like a smart phone map app that provides directions to its destination, as well as information about the rules of the road, such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights. Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, test-drove a car equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road. It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other existing computing technology to discover in-road obstacles (障碍), says Ort. The researchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets, so that the car can drive on two-way roads. "Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different co nditions,” Alexander Wyglinski, and electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. "Since laser sensors don’t work well in rain or snow, these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather. "12.What may be a problem for most driverless cars?A.They fail in test-driving.B.Their maps are out-dated.C.They run in limited areas.D.Their guides are unreliable.13.What can we infer about the MIT navigation system?A.It includes accurate maps.B.It removes in-road obstacles.C.It works by detecting the road.D.It features a smart phone app.14.What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?A.To confirm the test-drive results.B.To indicate further research areas.C.To recognize scientists’ achievements.D.To show the creativity of driverless cars.15.What is the main idea of the text?A.Autonomous cars beat human drivers on country roads.B.Navigating self-driving cars may work in different conditions.C.Smart mapping technology adds to the functions of self-driving cars.D.A new navigation system helps autonomous cars drive remote roads.二、完形填空My family is big on baseball. Grandpa 16 coached his team to two national games. Father played for three different colleges and was 17 asked to try out for the Los Angeles Angels, one of the top teams in the US. Minutes before I was born, my 18were watching a live baseball match on TV You could say I was 19 to play the game, but frankly, all through. elementary school, I hated it.I spent most days of my summer at the baseball park in my neighborhood.

Facts and figures don’t stic k in our minds at all. But stories create "sticky" memories by attaching emotions to things that happen. 36.. Here is how to use story-telling to your benefit.Start with a messageEvery story-telling exercise should begin by asking: Who is my audience and what is the message I want to share with them? 37.. For instance, if you are trying to convince senior leaders to take a risk by supporting your project, you can tell them that most companies are built on taking smart chances.38.The best story-tellers look to their own life details and memories for ways to draw attention to their message. There may be a tendency not to want to share personal events at work, but experiences that indicate how they overcome their struggle are what make leaders appear authentic.Keep it simpleSome of the most successful and memorable stories are relatively simple and straightforward. Don’t tell your audience what shoes you were wearing if it doesn’t better the story. 39., such as your feelings and the humble beginnings of a now-great company. They can attract your listeners and-get your main message across.Don’t make yourself the heroYou can be a central figure in a story, but the final focus should be on people you know, lessons you’ve learned, or events you’ve witnessed. When you talk about how great you are, the audience shuts down. 40.A.Show good humorB.Provide vital detailsC.Use personal experiencesD.Each decision about your story should flow from those questionsE.Leaders always tell stories to persuade others to support a project or to face challengesF.The more you make yourself a star, the less likely your audience will buy your message G.That means leaders who can create and share good stories gain a great advantage over四、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

2019-2020学年深圳中学高中部高三英语一模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读(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AOn Friday morning when 53-year-old Thong Pham broke into the house through the unlocked back door, he took a steak knife from the kitchen.It was dark, and the family didn't know what Marley was barking (吠) at. Taylor, Amber and their girls Finley, 6,and Sadie, 4, soon woke up and came downstairs, too. “Well, it was dark so we couldn't see anything, only could hear Marley,” Amber recalled, saying her husband then went for the lights. “And once he turned the hall light on, we realized that the guy was holed up in the corner trying to hide.”“So I think he got to the front door and realized he couldn't get out, and by that point in time, Marley's got him cornered,”Taylorsaid. Pham slashed (砍) both Marley and Taylor, and blood went everywhere. Taylor shared a video summary to his Facebook page, where he said Marley was stabbed (刺) up to six times, mostly around the head and neck area. “And as I pulled back, blood shot out of my arm,”Taylorcontinued. “She got him pretty good and I got him pretty good in the face.”“But it was really hard because I was trying to make sure that my husband wasn't going to die,” Amber explained, adding that she was trying to protect their two girls. “When he realized that the two girls were in the house, that's when he kind of backed up and started running. "Taylorexpressed gratitude to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. And the family is thankful for their dog Marley.“She's our hero,” Amber said. “If it hadn't been for her, that guy could have gone in the...he could have gone to their rooms or something.”Tayloradded, “Yeah, I mean, the story plays out very differently if Marley's not there.”1. Why did the family come downstairs before daybreak?A. To stop a break-in.B. To lock the back door.C. To check on Marley.D. To turn the hall light on.2. What happened during the fight?A. Pham dug a hole in the corner.B. Marley was injured but bit back.C. Taylor had a backup from neighbors.D. Amber fought back to protect her girls.3. What doesTaylormainly express on his Facebook?A. Forgiveness.B. Concern.C. Anger.D. Appreciation.BAvi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.4. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.5. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.6. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.7. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space TravelCOne day when I was 5, my mother criticized me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry motion to open the screen door (纱门) with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have criticized my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. But my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a crack in the defense against unwanted insects.For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would remind me of my mistake from time to time. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insectentered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Aboveall, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.8. When the author damaged the door, his parents _______.A. scolded him for what he had doneB. left the door unrepairedC. told him how expensive it wasD. gave him a spanking9. How did the author feel every time he saw the damaged door?A. He felt ashamed of his uncontrolled anger at that time.B. He found that his family members no longer liked him.C. He found it destroyed the happy atmosphere at his home.D. He felt he had to work hard to make up for (弥补) the damage.10. The experience may cause the author _______.A. to hide his anger away from othersB. not to go against his parents’ willC. to have a better control of himselfD. not to make mistakes in the future11. What of the following is the main idea of this passage?A. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.B. Parents shouldn’t educate their children.C. What is the best way to become a more patient person?D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.DA single toy catches a child's attention for a limited period of time, but a box of items that allows a child to build their own toys will catch their imagination for years to come. This brilliant idea already exists in real product form, and it's called Toyi.Toyi is described as an eco-friendly creative building kit, and it recently won the well-known IF Design Award. It came from Istanbul, Turkish, where a young female designer named Elif Atmaca first came up with the idea for it when she wanted to help the kids living in disadvantaged areas. These children do not have access to the variety of interesting toys that wealthier children do.Toyi Atmaca's design allows children to transform what are around them into clever toys. It consists of sticks, junction parts, flexible connectors, toy body parts like feet, eyes, hands, and wheels that can be used to turn old water bottles, cups, boxes, towels, etc. into cute, clever, and unique playthings. This toy kit upcycles(升级利用) materials that would otherwise go to waste, turning a recycling bin into a treasure container.“Our initial target was to deliver Toyi kits to only disadvantaged children in Turkish,” Atmaca told the media. But during a research conducted with around300 children, .she realized that the restriction on being creative went beyond any boundary. “I saw that everything was planned and shaped by grown-ups, blocking the kids' imagination in a significant way,” said Atmaca.Atmaca concluded that each kid needed space where he or she could freely create. She explained the entire process should be left to kids’ creativity, reminding teachers and all grown-ups that child-led play was an excellent way for children to develop lifelong skills.Toyi's creators are now considering distributing the kits to as many children as possible around the world through different international NGOs. Atmaca notes that for each Toyi kit sold out, they will also donate one kit to a disadvantaged child through different partnerships around the world.12. Why did Atmaca design Toyi at first?A. To win the famous IF Design Award.B. To help poor kids make their own toys.C. To protect the environment in Istanbul.D. To recycle all the waste in the dustbin.13. Which is probably the product made with the toy kit of Toyi?A. A new picture of a young boy.B. A computer with high technology.C. A treasure container from a dustbin:D. A six-armed “robot” from a water bottle.14. How do the toy kits help improve the children's ability?A. It provides the kids various types of toys.B. It offers space for the kids’ creative minds.C. It changes the poor kids' living conditions.D. It teaches the kids to share joys with others.15. What is the new target for Atmaca and her partners?A. Donating toykits to more poor children.B. Selling toy kits to every kid in the world.C. Designing new toy kits for kids and adults.D. Doing further research on the kids' demands.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。

2019-2020学年深圳福田中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读(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AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BSometimes people make history. George Washington became the first president of theUnited Statesand made history. Sometimes wars make history. The two World Wars are examples. Sometimes nature even becomes part of history. Shaking earthquakes are recorded in history books.Sixteen years ago, nature caused just such a history-making event. In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina came ashore inNew Orleans,Louisiana. The deadly storm floodedNew Orleans. Before Katrina, no other big American city had ever flooded in the history of the country. This natural disaster caused great harm and death.New Orleansis located below sea level. This location places it at great risk. Levees were built to protectNew Orleansfrom the ocean. (A levee is like a wall between the city and the ocean.) When Hurricane Katrina came ashore, water moved over the levees into the city. Flooding made it necessary for everyone to leave the city. Before Katrina, Creole food (a special kind of cooking only inLouisiana) filled the air with delicious smells. The sound of jazz music traveled through the streets. Now the city has to return to its former glory.Before Katrina, ernment had never made everyone leave a city. People inNew Orleanshad to find shelter quickly. Some had to stay at theSuperdomeSportsCenter. Some rode on buses to other towns. Thousands drove their cars to get away from the storm. The roads and shelters filled up fast.The lesson learned from Katrina was that cities must be better prepared for big storms and other terrible disasters caused by nature. Being prepared might have kept more people safe. Hurricane Katrina is one of the history-making events that will be remembered forever. Today, history is still being made that will shape the future.4. What does the author tell us aboutNew Orleans?A. It was built above sea level.B. It had few jazz musicians after Katrina.C. It was the firstU.S.city that had been flooded.D. It created a wholly new way to cook after Katrina.5. What can we say about the levees?A. They were almost useless for fighting Katrina.B. They helped people leaveNew Orleansquickly.C. They made NewOrleansa special American city.D. They should be built to match the size ofNew Orleans.6. What might the author advise city governments to do?A. Put up more shelters in the city.B. Build more levees around the city.C. Teach people how to avoid floods.D. Try to get ready for natural disasters.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Storms are dangerousB. Katrina makes historyC. Floods shapeLouisianaD. History must be rememberedCI am a part of the Windward Robotics team known as the Omnicats, one of the many clubs offered at my school. My eight teammates and I started out by watching the robotics qualifiers and finals of Chinese teams. We used these robotics videos for inspiration and drew up mind maps of what our team wanted to do.We meet every day for two hours after school in order to build our robots. Typically, adultsoverseewhat students are building, but my school lets teens take control. It leaves room for more errors, but we're prouder of our final product.Before our first real match, a practice was offered at the actual site. My sub-team had been further along than other teams but quickly fell behind. When we arrived on that big day, I immediately felt my teammates' nervousness. Our first match was in three minutes. All of us glanced around at each other since we were not prepared at all. Our robot was still sitting in a box. Two of our teammates rushed to take the robot for an official examination as the rest of us discussed our strategy (策略).Our team captain explained that we all should try driving the robot now, while it was early in the season. She gave me the remote. I had only driven for a limited amount of time in practice so I was extremely nervous. Our autonomous code (自动代码) beganto run almost immediately after our short discussion. Despite all the drama, we ended up winning the match.Not too bad for the first match! I was so proud. I did not enjoy the pressure of driving but liked building the robot behind the scenes instead.We have transferred to a different type of robotics at the end of the semester, which involves the whole team designing one giant robot with large tools. I am a part of the electrical team now, so I make sure the motherboard (母板) can supply the robot's energy needs. We have all enjoyed the rest of the season and learned that robotics it never dull!8. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. InspectB. AdmireC. OverlookD. Assume9. Why did her teammatesfed so nervous before first match?A. Because it was really too difficult for them.B. Because they didn't prepare for it at all.C. Because they didn't know what the match would be like.D. Because they didn't make full preparations before the match.10. How did the author feel about their first robotics match?A. It was tiring but exciting.B. It was stressful but wonderful.C. It was terrible but powerful.D. It was boring but professional11. What is the best title for the text?A. A Girl Who Loves RobotsB. My First Robotics MatchC. Teamwork for RobotsD. Robotics Is Never DullDYou've probably heard it suggested that you need to move more throughout the day, and as a general rule of thumb, that "more" is often defined as around 10,000 steps. With many Americans tracking their stepsvia new fitness-tracking wearables, or even just by carrying their phone, more and more people use the 10,000-step rule as their marker for healthy living. Dr. Dreg Hager, professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins, decided to take a closer look at that 10,000-step rule, and he found that usingitas a standard may be doing more harm than good for many.“It turns out that in 1960 in Japan they figured out that the average Japanese man, when he walked 10,000 steps a day burned something like 3,000 calories and that is what they thought the average person should consume so they picked 10,000 steps as a number” Hager said.According to Hager, asking everyone to shoot for 10,000 steps each day could be harmful to the elderly or those with medical conditions, making it unwise for them to jump into that level of exercise, even if it's walking.The bottom line is that 10,000 steps may be too many for some and too few for others. He also noted that those with shorter legs have an easier time hitting the 10,000-step goal because they have to take more steps than people with longer legs to cover the distance. It seems that 10,000 steps may be suitable for the latter.A more recent study focused on older women and how many steps can help maintain good health and promote longevity (长寿).The study included nearly 17,000 women with an average age of 72. Researchers found that women who took 4,400 steps per day were about 40% less likely to die during a follow-up period of just over four years: Interestingly, women in the study who walked more than 7,500 steps each day got no extra boost in longevity.12. What does the underlined word "it' in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The phone recording.B. The 10,000-step rule.C. The healthy living.D. The fitness-tracking method.13. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. How many steps a Japanese walks.B. How we calculate the number of steps.C. If burning 3,000 calories daily is scientific.D. Where 10,000 steps a day came from.14. Who will probably benefit from 10,000 steps each day according toHager?A. Senior citizens.B. Young short-legged people.C. Healthy long-legged peopleD. Weak individuals.15. How many steps may the researchers suggest senior citizens take each day?A. 4,400 steps.B. 10,000 steps.C. 2,700 steps.D. 7,500 steps.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。

Throw the rubbish into the dustbins.C. Make reservations in the Carriage House.D. Protect the markers of the Woodland Trail.BKevin, diagnosed with Dyslexia(读写困难症), rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did, it would be a “ Yes,” “No,” or “Maybe,” in response to questions. He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth centre Kidpreneur.In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that centre. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood – a low –income area in Sydney’s western suburbs – and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences – Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot – dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneur(创业) story with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all- time high.The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot – dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after, he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase potential customer base.All of his would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself,and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.4. What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?A.

On the Road to RecoveryB. Turning Failure into Success.C. Growing Wealthy through Hard Work.D. From Hopeless Youth to Business LeaderCA woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church-goer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It’s extremely attractive and also memorable, to the point that it has become a problem.In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out "photo free" hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have; a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyonewants a museum to be "a photo-taking playland. " Yet a lot of people do‑ and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28 ticket to be more valid than another. "If we removed social media and photography," she says, "we would risk becoming irrelevant. "8. What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?A. To get her phone.B. To take a photo.C. To escape the crowd.D. To push ahead.9. How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?A. By setting periods without photo-taking.B. By making the exhibition free of charge.C. By compromising with the government.D. By extending the free exhibition hours.10. The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may .A. uncover the truthB. play a negative roleC. accumulate evidenceD. cause many complaints11. Which of the following may Linda Butler support?A. Catering to visitors.B. Reducing admission prices.C. Reserving judgement in public.D. Banning social media and photography.DMost autonomous vehicles test-driving in cities navigate (导航) by using 3-D maps marking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy. But few places have been mapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to those driverless cars.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now have developed a new navigation system that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps. This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driver would by continually scanning its surroundings, with a laser sensor (激光感应器), to measure how close it is to the edges of the road. Meanwhile, the car also follows a tool like a smart phone map app that provides directions to its destination, as well as information about the rules of the road, such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights. Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, test-drove a car equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road. It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other existing computing technology to discover in-road obstacles (障碍), says Ort. The researchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets, so that the car can drive on two-way roads. "Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different conditions,” Alexander Wyglinski, and electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. "Since laser sensors don’t work well in rain or snow, these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather. "12. What may be a problem for most driverless cars?A. They fail in test-driving.B. Their maps are out-dated.C. They run in limited areas.D. Their guides are unreliable.13. What can we infer about the MIT navigation system?A. It includes accurate maps.B.

2019-2020学年深圳市实验学校高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读(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AEast Yorkshire has typical unpredictable British weather. So here are some ideas to keep everybody happy when the weather is not the most ideal.William's Den, North CaveThe outdoor and indoor areas are suitable for children of all ages to have fun.There are nests to explore, rope bridges to cross, a tree-house and a slide. The attached Kitchen provides fresh food made from locally sourced ingredients serving a selection of treats.East Riding Leisure CentresKnown for a fun learner pool alongside an incredible fun zone with two slides as well, it is perfect for kids to find their feet in the water, have fun and explore. Its 6 climbing walls offer a different challenge on each.

Then explore the zoo and meet the pigs, parrots and penguins! Kids of all ages are welcome.Withernsea LighthouseThere’s no limitation to the age of kids to climb Withernsea Lighthouse, which is 144 steps to the top, with full views of the East Yorkshire Coast at the top of it. Enjoy the museum on the ground floor and learn what life is like working and living in a lighthouse. The souvenir shop provides attractive gifts for visitors at a fair price.1.Which one is unsuitable for kids of all ages?A.William’s Den, North Cave.B.East Riding Leisure Centres.C.Sewerby Hall and Gardens.D.Withernsea Lighthouse.2.Where can kids enjoy food?A.In William’s Den, North Cave and Sewerby Hall and Gardens.B.In East Riding Leisure Centres and Withernsea LighthouseC.In William’s Den, North Cave and East RidingLeisure Centres.D.In Sewerby Hall and Gardens and Withernsea Lighthouse.3.Where does this passage probably come from?A.A geography textbook.B.A science report.C.A finance magazine.D.A travel brochure.BAn anti-obesity program for Australian girls didn’t lead to any improvements in their diet, physical activities or body weight a year later, according to a new report.Findings from the school-based intervention (介入), which involved exercise sessions and nutrition workshops for lower-income girls, are the latest disappointment in a lot of research attempting tohead offadult obesity and the disease risks that come with it.Especially during the middle-and high-school years, girls’ physical activity reduces obviously, according to lead researcher David Lubans, from theUniversityofNewcastleinNew South Wales,Australia. He said, “In the future we need to make the programs more interesting and exciting and present information in a way that is meaningful to adolescent girl.”Lubans and his workmates conducted their study in 12 schools in low-income areas ofNew South Wales. At the start of the study, girls in both groups weighed an average of close to 130pounds, with about four in ten considered overweight. Over the next year, adolescents in the intervention group were given pedometers (计步器) to encourage walking and running and invited to nutrition workshops and regular exercise sessions during the schoolday and at lunchtime. Participation in some of those activities were less than ideal. For example, the girls went to only one-quarter of lunchtime exercise sessions, and less than one in ten completed at-home physical activity or nutrition challenges, the researchers reported. At the end of the year, girls in both groups had gained a similar amount of weight and there was no difference in their average body fat.Preventive medicine researcher Robert Klesges said that although some anti-obesity programs have helped adults lose weight, the teen population has always been a source of failure for researchers. “The common belief is: nothing works,” he said. “And we have got to get beyond that.”“We need to think outside the box,” said Klesges, who wasn’t involved in the new study. “That could include learning from what has worked in adult studies, such as giving meal replacement drinks or prepared foods to teens who have trouble making changes to their diet. Or, it could mean using a “step-care” method — rather than researchers or their doctor telling them to keep doing the same thing.” Klesges said.4. The underlined words “head off” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”.A. damageB. defendC. preventD. affect5. The methods used in the program to stop obesity don’t include ________.A. walking and runningB. inviting them to nutrition workshopsC. joining exercise sessions regularlyD. giving meal replacement drinks6. The main reason for the failure of the anti-obesity program is probably that ________.A. the participants didn’t take an active part in itB. the program was not interesting and exciting to participantsC. the participants didn’t get extra nutrition or exercise helpD. the program didn’t pay attention to healthy exercise7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. As researchers, it is important to have creative research methods.B. Researchers need to give meals or prepare foods to participants.C. Teen girls have no difficulty in making changes to their diet.D. Some ant-obesity programs have not helped adults lose weight.CMark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It's life-changing but it's not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical (辅助医疗的) tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Using flesh-toned (肉色的) inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients' view of themselves.Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwentcountless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.“Plastic surgery gave me no hope,” she says. “So I looked for other options.” She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano. He hid Pollan's lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence.“ You don't understand until you've been through it,” Pollan says. “It made me have a different look on life.”Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn't charge for paramedical tattoos. “Financially, it doesn't make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see that emotion from my customers, I'm 100 percent sure this is something that I can't stop doing.”8. What best describes people's attitude when first hearing of fingernail tattoos?A. Indifferent.B. Ridiculous.C. Confident.D. Surprised.9. What did Catalano do to help Leslie Pollan?A. He drew an artistic puppy.B. He inked scars on her face.C. He created a lip tattoo.D. He performed plastic surgeries on her.10. What can we infer from the passage?A. Cosmetic surgery is of no use.B. Tattoos earn Mark Bertram a good fame.C. Catalano is a kind and generous person.D. Fingernail tattoos are popular around the world.11. What could be the best title for the text?A. A Life-changing EventB. Miracle TattoosC. An Amazing ArtistD. A Promising BusinessDWhile the arts can' t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we mightovercome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy(欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposingforces.The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.12. What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses?A. It brings people inner peace.B. It contributes to problem-solving.C. It reduces the possibility of crises.D. It deepens understanding of music.13. What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9?A. It celebrates freedom and unity.B. It aims to show crises and chaos.C. It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.D. It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.14. What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?A. Leaving things as they are.B. Making a choice between them.C. Separating them from each other.D. Engaging them in a conversation.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How COVID-19 changes artB. Essentials of Symphony No. 9C. Moving artfully through crisesD.

Not a summer-afternoon-picnic-by-the-lake amount of bugs, but a why-is-it-dark-outside-on-wait-those-are-swarms-of bugs amount of bugs.If anyone doubts that the bugs are a problem, the press who are in town to report on Monday's match between England and Tunisia are here to show you that yes, there are lots of bugs, and yes, it's a major issue.It feels like that Associated Press reporter was mere seconds away from his face being completely covered by bugs. BBC reporter Natalie Pirks was able to momentarily defeat the bugs, but only by spraying(喷洒)an intense amount of bug-proof liquid around her head.The bugs in Volgograd are so terrible that helicopters have been used to spray bug-proof things over the stadium.There's a little bit of good news;the BBC spoke to a professor of entomology(昆虫学), who revealed that most of the bugs aren't biters.Entomologist professor Adam Hart from the University of Gloucestershire believes they are non-biting bugs, known as chironomidae(摇蚊科)."It's a regular occurrence and just bad timing with a World Cup on" , said the insect expert. "The good news is that they don't last long. "Volgograd is hosting four group matches during the World Cup, but the stadium is by the river, which means the bugs could be even worse there than in other areas-hence the helicopters spraying insecticideall over the TAL#NBSP venue. But even then, don't be surprised if a player gets carried off by a swarm of bugs, or if that player ends up becoming their new bug king.(1) How terrible is the bug problem in Volgograd?A. People can't picnic by the river.B. Bugs can even cover the sky.C. Reporters have to stop working.D. Players may be carried by bugs.(2) What can we learn from Professor Hart about the bug problem?A. It is a lasting problem.B. It's less serious than we fear.C. It spreads diseases.D. It happens especially in big events.(3) What does the underlined word "venue" in the last paragraph probably refer to?A. cityB. playersC. riverD. stadium2、【来源】 2019年广东深圳宝安区高三一模(B篇)第4~7题8分(每题2分)Why did it take so long to rescue the trapped Thai soccer team?Until all the Wild Boars soccer boys and their assistant coach were pulled out of the flooded cave in North Thailand on July 11, 2018, the whole rescue lasted 18 days.During these days, the threat was always there:more rainstorms were coming. They were likely to flood the cave complex where the 12 boys and their coach were trapped since June 23. They were found on July 2, starved, but not in bad shape.The rescue was a race against time.The group was stuck around four kilometers into the cave and nearly a kilometer underground. The boys, between ages 11 and 16, were found huddled together in complete darkness on a small, dry, mud-covered incline(斜坡), surrounded by continuously rising water.Why couldn't the boys come out the same way the rescuers went in?It took a rescue diver 4-5 hours to travel through the tight, flooded channels to reach the team. To rescue a boy, double it. "Cave diving is incredibly dangerous even for experienced divers, but most of these boys can't even swim, " said Anmar Mirza, a cave rescue expert. The boys were first supposed to learn how to dive, right there in the cave. But it took time… just think about how weak they were after nearly 10 days of no food. And big rains were arriving.From all the methods that were considered over and over again, the rescue team chose one that finally proved a giant success.(1) Where in the cave were the boys found?A. In the rising water.B. At the narrow flooded passage.C. Near Pattaya Beach.D. 2.5 km from the entrance.(2) When the boys were found,.A. they had been trapped 9 daysB. they were seriously sickC. they would come out 18 days laterD. they had just run out of food(3) What might be the biggest problem for the boys to learn diving?A. It was dangerous.B. They couldn't swim.C. They had no food.D. Time was not enough.(4) How did the boys finally come out of the cave?A. Diving with the rescuers.B. The same way rescuers went in.C. Being carried in a stretcher.D. Holding a dive line with a mask.3、【来源】 2019年广东深圳宝安区高三一模(C篇)第8~11题8分(每题2分)Since when do we find it harder to feel at ease in social conditions?It seems that everyone is watching and judging our every act. We are always nervous about our wrinkled shirts, imperfect smiles or any tiny mistakes we make. Focusing on your appearance and behaviors, to some extent, does help improve yourself. However, too much self-consciousness is not necessary and makes it hard to enjoy life.A funny experiment was done in 2000 by psychologist Thomas Gilovich and his colleagues. In the experiment, they told a group of students to put on special T-shirts with a giant picture of a famous singer's face, and arrive five minutes later than the others. Then the two groups of students talked for some time. Gilovich later questioned the other students if they could exactly remember what the group were wearing. Only a quarter of them actually noticed the image on the T-shirts, which is much less than the students in the T-shirts predicted. That is what Gilovich and his colleagues called "spotlight effect" . It means that you usually tend to overestimate how closely others are noticing what you do or how you look.Many people are naturally self-conscious. When you do something improper, you think others will notice and laugh at you. But scientific research reveals that how you believe people are thinking about you is just how you are thinking about yourself. In most cases, others are busy dealing with their own worries rather than observing you. It is time to escape from your intense self-consciousness, because it blows up your shortcomings and traps you in embarrassment and shame.Just remember that no one lives a perfect life without any mistakes. It is important to accept yourself unconditionally, that is to say, to tolerate some imperfection and start to trust yourself. Then you will be more confident to shake off possible judgment from the others, and feel free to think, feel and act in your own ways. When you stop being overly self-conscious, you will find life more positive and happier.(1) What does the author think of self-consciousness?A. It occurs when we are watched.B. It helps make one feel at ease.C. It does good to us to some degree.D. It fails to let us focus on ourselves.(2) What happened to the students wearing the special T-shirts?A. They felt ashamed of themselves.B. They were late for the experiment.C. They made the others embarrassed.D. They failed to impress others deeply.(3) When you are intensely self-conscious, you'll.A. escape from the realityB. be wrongly judged by othersC. be too strict with othersD. put yourself in bad feelings(4) What does the author suggest people do?A. Free yourself from spotlight effect.B. Forgive yourself at any time.C. Accept everyone's imperfection.D. Feel happier being alive.4、【来源】 2019年广东深圳宝安区高三一模(D篇)第12~15题8分(每题2分)Chocolate could soon be a thing of the past, after scientists warned that the cacao(可可豆)plant, from which chocolate is made, could be extinct within 32 years.Over half of the world's chocolate comes from just two countries in West Africa-Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana-where the temperature, rain, and humidity provide the perfect conditions for cacao to grow. But the threat of rising temperatures over the next three decades caused by climate change is expected to result in a loss of wetness from the ground, which scientists say could upset this delicate balance.According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a temperature rise of just 2.1 degrees centigrade could spell an end for the chocolate industry worldwide by 2050.Farmers in the region are already looking at moving cacao production areas thousands of feet uphill into mountainous areas-much of which is currently preserved for wildlife. But a move of this scale(规模)could destroy ecosystems that are already under threat from illegal farming and deforestation."We can be looking at a chocolate shortage of 10, 0000 tons a year in the next few years, " a researcher predicted.Scientists at the University of California at Berkeley have teamed up with American candy Company Mars to keep chocolate on the menu. They are trying to develop a type of cacao plant that can survive in dryer, warmer climates. They use the controversial CRISPR, a gene-editing technology that has received widespread media attention because of its potential to kill human diseases and make so-called "designer babies" . However, Jennifer Doudna, the UC Berkeley geneticist who invented CRISPR, thinks its most useful effects will be on plants rather than humans.If the team's work on the cacao plant is successful, it could remove the need for farmers in West Africa to relocate to higher ground, and perhaps even allow cacao to be grown elsewhere in the world.(1) What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. It's difficult to grow cacao.B. Cacao isn't produced worldwide.C. Fewer people favor chocolate.D. Agriculture is advanced in West Africa.(2) Which is the biggest danger to the cacao plant in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana?A. The dryer lands.B. The world's declining demands.C. The worsening economy.D. Illegal farming and deforestation.(3) What research are the scientists at the UC Berkeley probably doing?A. Making changes to the genes of cacao.B. Founding a company to save chocolate.C. Developing another plant for chocolate.D. Using CRISPR to produce designer babies.(4) How would the cacao farmers in West Africa get benefited if the scientists' work is successful?A. They'd be able to move to higher ground.B. They wouldn't have to change too much.C. They could choose to grow cacao elsewhere.D. Illegal farming and deforestation would stop.二、多选多(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)5、【来源】 2019年广东深圳宝安区高三一模第16~20题10分(每题2分)Being financially stable is important for individuals.

Protect the markers of the Woodland TrailKevin, diagnosed with Dyslexia (读写困难症), rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did,it would be a "Yes,"“No," or“Maybe," in response to questions. He always scored badly in testsand saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth center Kidpreneur.In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that center. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood - a low-income area in Sydney's western suburbs--and itsgoal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to sharetheir business experiences--Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade hishot-dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share hisentrepreneur (创业) story with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story andhanded him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what waspossible was at an all-time high.The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot-dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after,he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school's leadershipteam. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase potential customer base.All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion andperseverance to improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisoralso helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.24. Whatwere the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?A.

From Hopeless Youth to Business LeaderA woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church- goer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but firstshe had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this wasBouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It's extremely attractive and also memorable,to the point that it has become a problem.In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people whofelt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around theworld face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Youngresponded with a kind of compromise: carving out "photo free" hours during the exhibition'ssix-day run.One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that peopleseem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. Astudy recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this.It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observingit havea hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complexfor the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young's head of marketing andvisitor experience, a cknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland." Yet a lot of people do, and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judgeone reason for buying a$8 ticket to be more valid than another. “If we removed social mediaan d photography," she says, "we would risk becoming irrelevant."28. What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?A. To get her phone.B. To take a photo.C. To escape the crowd.D. To push ahead.29. How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?A. By setting periods without photo-taking.B. By making the exhibition free of charge.C. By compromising with the government.D. By extending the free exhibition hours.30. The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may_A. uncover the truthB. play a negative roleC. accumulate evidenceD. cause many complaints31. Which of the following may Linda Butler support?A. Catering to visitors.B. Reducing admission prices.C. Reserving judgement in public.B Banning social media and photography.Most autonomous vehicles test-driving in cities navigate (导航) by using 3-D mapsmarking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy. But few places have beenmapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to thosedriverless cars.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now have developed a newnavigation system that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps. This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driverwould by continually scanning its surroundings, with a laser sensor (激光感应器), to measure how close it isto the edges of the road. Meanwhile, the car also flows a tool like a smart phonemap app that provides directions to its destination,as well as information about the rules oftheroad, such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights. Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, test-drove a car equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road. It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other existingcomputing technology to discover in-road obstacles (障碍), says Ort. Theresearchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets, so that the car can drive on two-way roads."Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different conditions,” says Alexander Wyglinski, an electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “Since laser sensors don't work well in rain or snow,these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather."32. What may be a problem for most driverless cars?A. They fail in test-driving.B. Their maps are outdated.C. They run in limited areas.D. Their guides are unreliable.33. What can we infer about the MIT navigation system?A. It includes accurate maps.B. It removes in-road obstacles.C. It works by detecting the road.D. It features a smart phone app.34. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?A. To confirm the test drive results.B. To indicate further research areas.C. To recognize scientists' achievements.D. To show the creativity of driverless cars.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Autonomous cars beat human drivers on country roads.B. Navigating self-driving cars may work in different conditions.C Smart mapping technology adds to the functions of self-driving cars.D.

AThe following list includes some books that come highly recommended by millions of readers and also a short summary of the highlights of each work.The Go-Giver, by Bob Burg and John David MannI didn’t even expect that such a short book could make a huge difference in my way towards life. It simply explains complex laws that direct mankind, and concludes that there is always truth in the opposite.Dao De Jing, by Lao ZiDao De Jing is one of the finest books on philosophy written by Lao Zi, an ancient Chinesephilosopher and poet. It is sincere, exciting and makes you think a lot. Read it and get in touch with the clear educative understandings that give you enough tips to pursue your life goal full of passion.The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace D. WattlesI had my own misunderstandings of getting rich till I read this book. The book made a huge difference to my life after I discovered the secrets mentioned. Read it and it teaches you how to become rich, not immediately, but step by step.The Power of Habit, by Charles DuhiggI never knew habits played such an important role in shaping our future until I read this book. It says, you are what your habits are, and also suggests the proven techniques to create new habits that change our lifestyles and eventually our livers, It is must-read for everyone who wishes to form lifetime habits.The Road Less Travelled, by Scott PeckSimply put, Buy this book for the path towards understanding in a spiritual way that strengthens your personal growth. This book never gives you easy solutions to the challenges of life, it simply is part of life”and leaves you with better understanding to lead a fulfilled life.21. Which book can help you chase your dream passionately?A. Dao DE Jing.B. The Go-Giver.C. The Road Less Travelled.D. The Science of Getting Rich.22. Who can tell you he secrets of becoming rich?A. Lao ZiB. Scott PeckC. Charles Duhigg.D. Wallace D. Wattles.23. Which of the following ideas may Scott Peck agree with?A. Habits can shape our future.B. There is always truth in the opposite.C. Difficulty is often part of personal growth..D. We should find easy solutions to challenges.24. What can we know about the books mentioned above?A. They are all easily written.B. They are all popular books.C. All their writers are foreigners.D. All the books are about life goals.BMuch information can be clearly conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression "eyes also talk" is often heard.Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement? On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger, but not make eye contact. If he senses that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.It is the same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s stare at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert his gaze, his intentions are obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time; in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to hat the former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel disconcerted. A poor liar usually expose s himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false ides that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and specific situation.25. What may a person usually do on a bus?A. Glance at a stranger with eye contact.B. Use eyes to talk to a stranger politely.C. Glance at a stranger without eye contact.D. Talk to a stranger politely after a quick glance.26. What does it mean if a man looks at a woman for over 10 seconds?A. He likes her eyes.B. He admires her.C. He knows her well.D. He makes contact with her.27. Why is a poor liar easy to be seen through?A. He thinks that he is honest.B. He wants to control the victim.C. He feels uneasy about others’ eye contact.D. He looks straight at the victim for too long a time.28. What may be the best title for the text?A. Eyes Can Speak.B. Eye Contact MattersC. Don’t Stare at OthersD. Use Your Eye ContactCChildren can make some pretty lofty statements and grand promises. And an 8-year-old boy who promised to get his dad his dream car was no exception — but then he actually fulfilled his promise.A Reddit user going by the username Belairboy wrote that when he was 8 years old, he told his dad he would buy him a 1957 Chevy Bel Air on his 57th birthday.“He grew up poor in a family of children. He never thought he would be able to own his dream vehicle but would talk about it all the time,” Belairboy wrote.Then the day came.He tricked his father to look in the garage while the older man was trying to fix a cornhole board. When the dad finally looked up from his project and his son said, “happy birthday,” all thefat her could say in a whimpering tone was “no,” as he tearfully went in for a hug.“Oh my, oh my. This is real. This is real,” the father said as he climbed into the driver’s seat. “You’re kidding me. This is spotless, man.”Later, Belairboy revealed that he has hung onto the car for two years to make the promise come true.“We would talk about older vehicles so to gauge how much he would enjoy it I would show him pictures of it from the listing I found, unknown to him that it would actually be his one day,”B elairboy wrote. “He would get so excited and talk about owning something that he knew he never would be able to.”29. Why did the father say “No” when seeing his birthday present?A. He didn’t know what happened.B. He wanted to hug his dear son first.C. He was too excited to say anything else.D.

He would never have it in his life.DMany Beijing residents go to great lengths to avoid breathing the city’s smoggy air, especially when it reaches critical pollution levels, but one local entrepreneur decided that canning and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir would be a great idea. Believe it or not, he was right.After seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like France, Canada or Australia and selling it in China, Dominic Johnson-Hill, a。

AFrances Stevens Reese Woodland Trail GuideThe Woodland Trail was opened to the public on October21,1997.Boscobel's Board of Directors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of former Boscobel board member,Frances Stevens Reese(1917-2003),one year after his death.The trail(小径)is approximately10miles in length,leading down to Constitution Forest.When the West Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil War,trees for miles around were cleared to provide firewood.Walking out of the forest,you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.Throughout this country path,you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants local to this region.You will also find signs with historic and environmental information written by areaspecialists.When you take a walk through this“undiscovered”forest land,please be a considerate guest.◎Before walking the trail,please purchase a pass in the Carriage House.Plan ahead,so you will be back by closing time.◎Follow the trail markers and remain on the trail.Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem,you will reduce the risk of poison plants and snakes.◎Leave rocks,plants,animals and art works where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.◎Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail.If you happen to see a piece of litter,be a good guest and pick it up.21.When was the trail named to honor Frances Stevens Reese?A.In1997B.In1917C.In2003D.In200422.What can you see along the trail?A.An old battle field.B.A glass factory.rmation signs.D.Rock houses.23.What should you do as a thoughtful visitor?A.Leave the wildlife undisturbed.B.Throw the rubbish into the dustbins.C.Make reservations in the Carriage House.D.Protect the markers of the Woodland Trail.BKevin,diagnosed with Dyslexia(读写困难症),rarely spoke a word in class,and if he did,it would be a“Yes,”“No,”or“Maybe,”in response to questions.He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future.That was until he met Sarah,an advisor at a youth centre Kidpreneur.In2012,Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that centre.The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood--a low-income area in Sydney’s western suburbs--and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.At the end of the course,Sarah took the kids to the local area.She asked volunteers to share their business experiences--Kevin immediately put up his hand.His challenge was to trade his hot-dog selling service for free bread at a bakery.Although scared,Kevin was able to share his entrepreneur (创业)story with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly,the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some Bread for free.By the end of the afternoon,his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all-time high.The following week,Kevin sold70hot-dogs in two hours and made over$200.Soon after he delivered pubic speeches in20schools,and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase potential customer base.All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself,and those around him.The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.24.What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?A.To improve their test scores.B.To create a hot-dog business.C.To teach in low-income areas.D.To be beneficial to the local area.25.How did Kevin feel after visiting the local bakery?A.Scared.B.Confident.C.Touched.D.Grateful.26.What does the underlined word“kindle”probably mean?A.Inspire.B.Share.C.Continue.D.Express.27.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.On the Road to RecoveryB.Turning Failure into SuccessC.Growing Wealthy through Hard WorkD.From Hopeless Youth to Business LeaderCA woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church-goer might hold a Bible.She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away,but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same.The cause of this was to Art,one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures.It's extremely attractive and also memorable to the point that it has become a problem.In recent years,the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit.Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums,as well as something that upsets some of their patrons(资助人).So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise:carving out“photo free”hours during the exhibitions six-day run.One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them.A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this.It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it have a bad time remembering what they see.But the issue is complex professionals running museums.Linda Butler,the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience,acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be“a photo-taking playland.”Yet a lot of people do,and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28ticket to be more valid than another.“If we removed social media and photography,”she says,“we would risk becoming irrelevant.”28.What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph1?A.To get her phone.B.To take a photo.C.To escape the crowd.D.To push ahead.29.How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?A.By setting periods without photo-taking.B.By making the exhibition free of charge.C.By compromising with the government.D.By extending the free exhibition hours.30.The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may________?A.uncover the truthB.play a negative roleC.accumulate evidenceD.cause many complaints31.Which of the following may Linda Butler support?A.Catering to visitors.B.Reducing admission prices.C.Reserving judgement in public.D.Banning social media and photography.DMost autonomous vehicles test-driving in cities navigate(导航)by using3-D map marking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy.But few places have been mapped in such detail,which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to those driverless cars.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)now have developed a new navigation system that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps.This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driver would by continually scanning its surroundings,with a laser sensor(激光感应器),to measure how close it is to the edges of the road.Meanwhile,the car also follows a tool like a smart phone map app that provides directions to its destination,as well as information about the rules of the road,such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights.Teddy Ort,a roboticist at MIT,test-drove a can equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road.It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road,but it can be paired with other existing computing technology to discover in-road obstacles(障碍)says Ort.The researchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets,so that the car can drive on two-way roads.“Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different conditions.”says Alexander Wyglinski,an electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.“Since laser sensors don’t work well in rain or snow,these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather.”32.What may be a problem for most driverless cars?A.They fail in test-driving.B.Their maps are out-dated.C.They run in limited areas.D.Their guides are unreliable.33.What can we infer about the MIT navigation system?A.It includes accurate maps.B.It removes in-road obstacles.C.It works by detecting the road.D.It features a smart phone app.34.What is the purpose of Paragraph4?A.To confirm the test-drive results.B.To indicate further research areas.C.To recognize scientists’achievements.D.To show the creativity of driverless cars.35.What is the main idea of the text?A.Autonomous cars beat human drivers on country roads.B.Navigating self-driving cars may work in different conditions.C.Smart mapping technology adds to the functions of self-driving cars.D.A new navigation system helps autonomous cars drive remote roads.第二节七选五(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住选项。

He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car — and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.4. Which of the following best describes Pedley’s life in the past?A. Negative.B. Colorful.C. Independent.D. Selfish.5. What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village?A. Do business with the local people.B. Help farmers increase potato output.C. Assist villagers with construction work.D. Introduce tools to improve English teaching.6. Why will Pedley work with English teenagers in trouble?A. To encourage them to make friends with locals.B. To inspire them to live a more positive life.C. To train them to become doctors in the future.D. To make them learn about different cultures.7. What is the best title for the text?A. From millionaire to mud hutB. A life-changing adventureC. A rich man becoming homelessD. More money, more worriesCLife in the Internet age is lonely—or is it? That’s what experts in human interaction are debating after a new Stanford University survey has been published.According to the study, the more time people spend online, the less they can spare for real-life relationships with family and friends. The researchers asked 113 people about the Web’s influence on daily activities. 36%of those people are online for more than five hours a week.” As Internet use becomes more widespread, it will have an increasingly isolating (孤立的) effect on society,” says Robert Kraut, one of the researchers.Scholars and Web lovers criticized the study for stretching its data to make the “isolating” point. While 13%of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones, 60%reported watching less TV. The survey also shows that E-mail is the most popular online activity. If some of webheads (网虫)spend what was once passive TV time keeping company with friends via E-mails, “that’s a move toward greater connectedness,” says Paul Resnick, a professor at the University of Michigan.Thisisn’t the first claim that the Web should be criticized. A 1998 report monitored 73 Pittsburgh-area families’ Net use for a year. People who used the Internet more “talked less to family members and reported being lonelier and more depressed.” says Robert Kraut.“It’s true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades, but those declines began before the Internet was invented,” says Thomas Putnam.As Amitay Etzioni says, the Internet gives us a different kind of social life—not better or worse than before, but just different.8. Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?A. Paul Resnick.B. Robert Kraut.C. Thomas Putnam.D. Amitay Etzioni.9. The underlined word “This” in Para.4 refers to .A. the opinion expressed in Bowling AloneB. the survey made by the University of MichiganC. the conclusion in a report written in 1998D. the study conducted by Stanford University10. From the passage we learn that .A. watching TV used to take time away from staying onlineB. the Web was blamed more than once for causing an isolating effectC. 36%ofweb users spend more than five hours a week onlineD. the Web has the same influence as telephones and televisions11. The passage mainly discusses .A. how we can make a better use of the InternetB. how declines in social connectedness appearC. whether the Internet causes an isolating effectD. what a different life the Internet brings to usDOn March 18, 34-year-old Lance Karlson was walking on the beach and looking for somewhere toswim in Geographe Bay when he saw what he thought was a stingray (黄貂鱼) leap from the water.Realizing the creature was, in fact, an octopus (章鱼), he started filming it — just in time for the angry octopus to launch itself at him. He immediately felt a sharp pain across his left arm, followed by a second strike across his neck and upper back. His goggles (护目镜) fogged and the water around him turned dark with what he thought might have been octopus ink as he struggled back toward the shore."I was confused — it was more of a shock than a fright," said Karlson, "I might have hit on its home." Within a minute, a perfect imprint of an octopus tentacle (触手) appeared on Karlson's neck and back.A former volunteer lifeguard, Karlson rushed back to his hotelroom to find something acidic to put on the wound. All his family could grab was Coca-Cola, which his wife poured over his back and the pain disappeared."The pain went away and more than anything since then, it's been more the physical hit that was painful.... The imprint on my neck is more from the physical hit, and I guess it makes complete sense when you look at the video I took," he said.Karlson said he'd never seen an octopus that close before and watched Netflix documentary "My Octopus Teacher" after the incident to learn more about the species."They are beautiful creatures and I really hope this promotes more interest in octopuses as opposed to fear of them. I think this is a fascinating creature with clearly some very strong emotions just like we do as humans," he added.12. When did the octopus attack Karlson?A. When he was swimming in the bay.B. When he was shooting the octopus.C. When he was looking for some fish.D. When he was fighting against the octopus.13. What plays an essential role in reducing Karlson's pain?A. The lifeguard's timely help.B. Karson's wife's quick action.C. The family members' efforts.D. Karlson’s knowledge of first aid.14. What does Karlson learn from his experience?A. The octopus is dangerous.B. People should get away from the octopus.C. People need know more about the octopus.D. The physical hit from the octopus is painful.15. Which of the following might be the best title?A. Pain from Strong AttackB. First Aid for Octopus' StrikeC. Face to Face with Angry OctopusD.

2019-2020学年深圳市坪山中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读(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AYou haven’t truly visited a city until you’ve experienced its nightlife. Watching a big city likeLondongradually turn dark and darker into the night is a beautiful journey of time and light. So how about taking a historical evening walk and touchingsome of the nicest areas in centralLondon? Let’s get started.6:30 pmThe walk starts on theMillenniumBridge. On the bridge, watch the scenic city across the River Thames with the skyscrapers gradually lighting up against the darkening skies.TheMillenniumBridgehas been featured in many London-based films, includingHarry Potter, and the filmGuardians of the Galaxy.7:30 pmIt’s getting dark. A fifteen-minute walk northwest fromSt Paul’s Cathedral takes you to the historic Borough Market. During the evenings, you find a lot of restaurants around the market. This is an excellent time to get your dinner.9:00 pmThe next stop isLondonBridge. This is about 6 minutes’ walk from the Borough Market. As you join other onlookers and mentally go through the nursery school rhyme of “LondonBridgeis Falling Down”, you get lost again in history. Why does the song sayLondonBridgeis falling and who is the fair lady?During theLondoncity fire of 1897,LondonBridgeserved an important role in fire control. It was one of the major structures that prevented the fire from crossing over to the other side ofLondon.11:30 pmLondonnever sleeps; it’s a few minutes to midnight and everywhere is still filled with people moving around. About four minutes away from the Golden Jubilee Bridges isTrafalgar Square, our next stop.12:00 amIt’s been a beautiful evening, hasn’t it?1. Where can you visit aGuardians of the Galaxyfilming location?A. In theSt Paul’s Cathedral.B. On theMillenniumBridge.C. In the Borough Market.D. On the Golden Jubilee Bridges.2.

Although researchers have long known that the rich live longer than the poor, this education gap is less well documented. And although the average American’s expected span(预期寿命) has been smooth in recent year—and, shockingly, even fell between 2015 and 2017—that of the one-third with a bachelor’s degree has continued to lengthen.This gap in life expectancy is growing, according to new research published in the report of the National Academy of Sciences. Anne Case and Angus Deation ofPrincetonUniversityfound that the lifespans of those with and without a bachelor’s degree started to become different in the 1990s and 2000s. This gap grew even wider in the 2010s.What is the link between schooling and longevity(长寿)? Some argue that better-educated people develop healthier lifestyles: each additional year of study reduces the chances of being a smoker and of being overweight. The better-educated earn more, which in turn is associated with greaterhealth.Ms Case and Mr Deaton argue that changes in labor markets, including the rise of automation and increased demand for highly-educated workers, coupled with the rising costs of employer-provided health care, have decreased the supply of well-paid jobs for those without a degree. This may be contributing to higher rates of alcohol and drug use, suicide and other “deaths of despair”.The authors argued that the educational gap in mortality(致死率) will widenin the wake ofthe covid-19 pandemic. ForAmerica’s overall life expectancy to start climbing again, improvements will be needed across all social groups, not just among the privileged few.4. When did the lifespans of people with and without a degree vary greatly?A. In the 1990s.B. In the 2020sC. In the 2000sD. In the 2010s5. According to the article, changes in labor markets reduce jobs for those without a degree. Which change is NOT included?A. The rising spending of employer-provided health care.B. The gap in life expectancy.C. Raised request for better-educated workers.D. The development of automation.6. What does the underlined phrase “in the wake of” probably mean ?A. afterB. untilC. beforeD. while7. What is the best title for the text?A. Changes in labor market.B. Quit bad habits by Further studyC. Educated Americans live longer.D. Highly-educated people develop healthier lifestyles.CANew Zealandcouncil has announced a month-long road closure in order to allow a sea lion and her pup to reach the ocean safely.John Wilson Ocean Drive in Dunedin will be closed after the New Zealand sea lions made their home at a nearby golf course and started "regularly crossing the road to get to the beach," according to a Facebook post from Dunedin City Council."You can still visit the area on foot or by bicycle, but please give the sea lions lots of space," continued the post.Locals applauded the decision, and one even called for the closure to be made permanent."No dogs should be on the beach, either," wrote Gaylene Smith. "We need to protect our beautiful sea life."Dogs are known to attack sea lions, and Chisholm Links Golf Course, where the sea lions have made their home, also posted advice to dog walkers in a Facebook update."We're lucky to have sea lions on our coastline and we need to share the space with them,as this is what makes our coastline so unique!" wrote the course on Facebook.The council went on to explain thatNew Zealandsea lions are endangered, and are one of the world's rarestspecies of sea lion.There are an estimated 12,000New Zealandsea lions left, according to the Department of Conservation. Under local law, anyone who kills a sea lion could face up to two years in prison or a fine of up to NZ$250,000(US$178,000).8. What decision has the Dunedin City Council made?A.

Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go toCanadajust because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there So after I finished the study program, I went toYellowknifein theNorthwest Territories.I clearly remember the sixth night inYellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.The northern lights were flickering (闪烁) in the sky! I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that I lost all feeling in myhands and feet.As I took pictures of the northern lights, I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky. That’s because they come about from the collisions (碰撞) between atmospheric gases and the solar wind. Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active, whichleads to the best northern lights. And the color1 s of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.12. Why did the host mother ask the author to go out?A. She wanted to take a picture of him.B. She wanted to take a walk with him.C. She wanted to tell him something important.D. She wanted him to see the northern lights.13. The author forgot to take pictures after going out because ______.A. the host mother didn’t remind him to take the cameraB. he was shocked by the wonderful sightC. the lights flickering in the sky disappeared too soonD. he lost all feeling in his hands and feet14. When is the best time to see the northern lights?A. When they appear in the north part of the sky.B. When they come down to the south part of the sky.C. When they are between the north and south.D. When they rise in the east part of the sky.15. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. Waysto take good pictures.B. The relationship between the sun and the northern lights.C.The color1 s of the northern lights.D. The time of the best northern lights.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。

2019-2020学年深圳市沙井中学高三英语一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ABob and Sue Harvey spent nine years as resident fellows in a dormitory at Sanford and in their bookVirtual Reality and The College Freshman, they write “The Freshman oftenfaces an identity problem during the first semester.” College is a more pressured environment than it used to be, in part because the academic gap between high school and college has increased. Many college freshmen have never had to make independent decisions about sex, drugs and alcohol. Most don’t know how to manage their time or money. They often feel lonely and overwhelmed, resulting in anxiety and depression.Nancy Corbin, director of clinical service for student-counseling (咨询) services at Iowa State University, says her office is seeing a significant increase in requests for counseling from freshmen who are having trouble making the adjustment to college life. She says older teenagers increasingly lack the skills to deal with personal problems that aren’t easily defined or fixed. And they get homesick but have a hard time admitting it.Parents and high schools can make things easier on freshmen by preparing them differently. For example, by teaching them to budget their hours and dollars. The Harveys think high schools should offer a college-life course. “Parents need to focus more on relationship and personal issues and less on how many sheets and towels to take,” they say. Many homesick freshmen think they’ll be regarded as failures if they come home before Thanksgiving. So parents can help by letting them know they’re welcome to return if they feel the need. In the meantime, parents have to find new ways to keep in touch with their college kids. One of the best ways is e-mail. It’s less unpleasant and less expensive than constant phone calls and is more likely to be answered than a handwritten letter.1. Why is the first semester difficult for freshmen in college?A. Because they often fail in exams.B. Because they lack time and money.C. Because they are too homesick to make new friends.D. Because they have to settle personal issues on their own.2. In the last paragraph, it is suggested that ________.A. parents should stop buying anything for their kidsB. parents should develop a good relationship with their kidsC. parents should be taught how to send e-mails to their kidsD. parents should work with high schools in college-life courses3. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Hard Life of College FreshmenB. Approaches to Trouble in CollegeC. Freshmen’s Adaptation ProblemsD. A Strange Phenomenon in CollegeBIn May this year, as part of our 150th anniversary, we asked readers aged between18 and 25 to enter an essay competition. The task was to tell us, in no more than 1,000 words, what scientific advance they would most like to see in their lifetimes, and why it mattered to them.The response was phenomenal: we received 661 entries. Some entrants hoped that science would make their lifetimes much longer than they can currently expect. Many looked forward to work that will end climate change. Others wanted to see advances in our understanding of human history, crop growth, space exploration, and medical technologies. The ideas were inspiring.The winner is a compelling essay by Yasmin Ali, a PhD student at the University of Nottingham, UK. Ali submitted a piece on Beethoven, her brother’s hearing loss and the science which she hoped would one day cure it. It stood out to the judges as a reminder of why many scientists do research: to make the world better tomorrow than it is today.All essays were judged by a group of Nature editors. The top ten submissions were then ranked by three members of a separate judging group: Magdalena Skipper, editor-in-chief of Nature; Faith Osier, a researcher; and Jess Wade, a physicist. All submissions were kept anonymous throughout the process.We also selected two runners-up(非冠军的获奖者).Physicist Robert Schittkoat Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, proposes that nuclear fusion(核聚变) could offer a solution to the climate crisis, in a piece that effortlessly mixes grand ambition with gentle humour. And chemist Matthew Zajac at the University of Chicagoin Illinois wrote a powerful personal account of why he wants to see advances in the field of same-sex reproduction.The results show that today’s young scientists have a wealth of ideas, talent and conviction that research can transform their world. We look forward to seeing what they do next.4. What’s the essay competition about?A. The scientific expectation.B. The fantastic scientific ideas.C. The dreams of future life.D. The celebration of anniversary.5. Why Yasmin Ali was chosen the winner?A. She showed great talent in music.B. She found the cure for the loss of hearing.C. She appealed for people to care about hearing loss problem.D. She reminded people to remember the meaning of science development.6. What can we learn about the result of the essay competition?A. Robert Schittko won the second place.B. There were two winners in the essay competition.C. Matthew Zajac presented his view of same-sex reproduction.D. The two runners-up were selected for the same field they chose.7. What isthe author’s attitude to the competitors’ ideas about science expectations?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Impossible.D. Ignorant.CWhen rescuers were called to rescue a “little owl”, they did not expect to find one that was too fat to fly. A concerned citizen first spotted the poor bird lying helplessly. Even Rufus Samkin, whose team then took the team in on Jan.3, believed the bird to be injured. There were no wounds to be found, however, causing experts to believe the female owl was simply too wet to fly.But it was only after a thorough drying-off and complete checkup that they noted the real issue. The rescuers weighed the owl and concluded that she was “simply extremely obese” and couldn’t take off. This additional weight left her unable to fly, though experts began to wonder how she got so fat in the first place. Because it’s rather unusual for wild birds to reach such a state, they decided to keep her a few weeks and monitor her.In the end, the rescuers assessed that it was simply a case of “natural obesity”. December 2019 was quite warm, which meant that there were many insects for the bird to feast upon. Indeed, the owl was discovered in a field that was “filled with field mice” due to the usual climate. “It’s been very mild here, and the owl is able to findfoods easily,” Samkin explained. With the sudden food, “she ly ate much and got very fat. She had a lovely time, but went too far.”The researchers consequently put the owl on a “strict diet” so she could shrink to a more “natural weight”. She was even put on a bit of exercise and encouraged to fly around. In the end, the bird was sent flying gracefully off into the British countryside at a much healthier and happier weight. Hopefully, this owl won’t come upon another feast of field mice—unless she wants another few weeks at the fat camp.8. What did people think happened to the owl at first?A. She was hurt.B. She was trapped.C. She was hungry.D. She was wet.9. Why was the bird unable to fly?A. She needed a thorough checkup.B. She should be given a drying-off.C. She was completed overweight.D. She was simply extremely strong.10. What made the owl have enough foods?A. The especially warm weather.B. The reducing number of insects.C. The rich fields growing crops.D. The lovely time the bird enjoyed.11. How did the owl loseits weight?A. Going on a diet and exercising.B. Flying in the British countryside.C. Visiting that fat camp again.D. Enjoying her wonderful feast freely.DAt any moment, about half the world’s population is wearing denim(牛仔布)clothes. But few realize tiny bits of denim have been adding up to a surprising amount of pollution in water, as a new study shows.Sam Athey, one of the study’s authors, says, “Even though denim is made of a natural material—cotton, it contains chemicals.” Cotton fibers were treated with many types of chemicals, she notes. Some improve its durability and feel. Others give denim its distinctive blue color1 .Athey and her team washed jeans and found that about 50,000 microfibers came off from each pair per wash. Not all of those fibers make their way into the environment. Wastewater treatment plants catch about 83 to 99 percent ofthem. Catching 99 percent may sound pretty good. But one percent of 50,000 is still 500 fibers per wash. And since every pair of jeans is washed again and again, it still adds up to lots of microfibers entering the water environment.Denim microfibers showed up in sediment(沉淀物)from the Great Lakes. More of these fibers polluted aseries of shallow lakesin southern Ontario. They even turned up in sediment from the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada. The team found denim accounted for 12 to 23 percent of microfibers in the sediment. There were other microfibers too. But the team focused on denim because so many people wear jeans.“Everyone wears jeans so they could be our largest input of microfibers into our streams and soils,” Athey says. “An easy way to limit that is by washing our jeans less often.” Athey grew up thinking she should wash her jeans after wearing them every couple of times, but most jean companies recommend washing them no more than once a month. “The solution is not that you shouldn’t wear jeans,” she says. “We need to buy fewer denim clothes and only wash them when they truly need it.”12. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Chemicals are contained in natural cotton.B. Chemicals can make denim color1 ful.C. Chemicals prevent fibers from falling.D. Chemicals can make the life of denim longer.13. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Denim.B. Sediment.C. Microfibers.D. Chemicals.14. What does the author mainly want to tell us through Athey’s words ?A. To avoid wearing jeans.B. To reduce denim consumption.C. To wash jeans more often.D. To limit input in denim production.15. In which section of a magazine might the text be found?A. Science.B. Entertainment.C. Tourism.D. Geography.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。

2019-2020学年深圳市坪山高级中学高三英语一模试卷及答案第一部分阅读(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AThe last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at homewith her parents. But through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server, she isn't able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents — or never leaving home in the first place — has been growing steadily.UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adultsstill living at home could be that their family doesn't want them to leave.The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代)get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children. Millennials see their parents as peers,friends and instructors. Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Services Group in theUS, said the number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great Recession. Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn't necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest. He said, “They may like living at home and being able to save money.“ There's no doubt it has held back household formation and purchases of things people spend money on related to household formation and perhaps related to child-raising," Hoffman explained. "But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don't have a house expense or marriage. I don't know if it represents a change in moral values. But it's much more common for adult children to live in their parents’ homes because it's becoming part of the culture.1. What can we learn from the UBS Financial Services' report?A. Millennials are on good terms with their parents.B. Millennials are financially independent after college.C. Parents are unwilling to give their young adults allowance.D. Parents want their kids to stay with them forever.2. What does Hoffman think of young adults' living at home?A. It increases the consumption of household products.B. It may continue despite job growth.C. It is a sign of shift in moral values.D. It is new in American culture.3. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To introduce millennials' living habits.B. To stress the importance of financial independence.C. To explain why American young adults still live at home.D. To inform people of a social trend in theUS.BA Chinese space mining company has designed a robot that can capture waste material left behind by spacecraft in outer space with a big net.The state-run Xinhua news agency recently reported that the robot launched on the government's Long March 6 rocket along with several satellites. The robot will also investigate deep space to observe small objects in the universe. The 30-kilogram robot, called NEO-01 , was developed by Origin Space. Pounded in 2019 and based in the southern Chinese tech hub(技术中心)Shenzhen, Origin Space has been devoted to exploring and using space resources, according to the company. The company says the robot will lead the way for future technologies capable of mining on asteroids(小行星).The world's first asteroid mining company, Planetary Resources, was established in 2009. Since then, more than 12 businesses around the world have entered the industry, including 3D Systems of the United States and Japan's Astroscale. Astroscale's technology uses magnets (磁铁)to gather up space waste. But a report on the Origin Space website says NEO-01 will use a net to capture waste and then bum it. Thousands of satellites have been launched worldwide. As they are used too long, many end up as waste and put other operating satellites at risk.Su Meng is the founder of Origin Space. He said the company plans to launch many space telescopes and more spacecraft to begin the first for-profit mining of asteroids by 2045. Su added that NEO-01 will serve as a prototype (雏形)of future space mining robots, which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support thedevelopment of the space industry.The Xinhua news agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near-Earth asteroid to collectmaterials. China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near-Earth asteroids. The country aims to follow Russia and the United States in becoming a major space power by 2030.4. Which of the following can correctly describe NEO-01?A. It weighs 60 kilograms.B. It was created by Planetary Resources.C. It will be burnt after finishing its mission.D. It is mainly used to catch space waste.5. What can be inferred from the text?A. China will be the most powerful in space by 2030.B. Origin Space will open more mines on asteroids.C. It is those useless satellites that make space waste.D. The robot will look into deep space for more waste.6. What does Su Meng think of NEO-01 ?A. It is promising and rewarding.B. It has benefited the space industry.C. It's a long way to produce it.D. It'll help make money for the company.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. NEO-01 , A Smart Robot Used in SpaceB. A Chinese Robot Can Catch Space WasteC. A New Robot Makes China a SpacePowerD. NEO-01 , the Pioneer of Future Space RobotsCPlanned missions to the moon need to hurry up to avoid hitting one of the busiest periods for extreme space weather, according to scientists conducting the most in-depth ever research on solar storm timing.Scientists at theUniversityofReadingstudied 150 years of space weather data to look into patterns in the timing of the most extreme events,which can be extremely dangerous to astronauts and satellites. This new research on space weather timing allows predictions to be made for extreme space weather. Therefore, it could be used to plan the timing of activities, which could be affected by extreme space weather, for example, major space missions.The researchers found for the first time that extreme space weather events are more likely to occur early in or late solar cycles-such as the one just starting. The findings may have influences on the NASA-led Artemis mission. It plans to make humans return to the moon in 2024, but can be put off to the late 2020s.Professor Mathew Owens, a space physicist at theUniversityofReading, said, “Until now, the most extreme space weather events were thought to berandomin their timing. Though there is no set pattern of the events, this research suggests they are more predictable.”In the new study, the scientists used a new method applying statistical modelling to storm timing for the first time. Previous research generally focused on how big extreme space weather events can be, based on observations of previous events. Predicting their timing is far more difficult because extreme events are rare, so there is ly little historic data to identify patterns. The findings suggest that any major planned space missions , which is beyond the next five years, will have to consider the higher probability of extreme space weather late in the present solar cycle between 2026 and 2030.8. What can we learn about the study from the first two paragraphs?A. It has lasted just 150 years.B. It doesn't refer to space weather data.C. It shows space weather has no effect on astronauts.D. It makes it possible to predict extreme space weather.9. Why might the NASA-led Artemis mission be put off?A. To research solar cycles.B. To avoid effects of space weather.C. To meet the needs of the astronauts.D. To make humans return to Earth in 2024.10. What does the underlined word “random“ in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Irregular.B. Easy.C. Limited.D. Changeless.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The study is useful for future space missions.B. The planned space missions should be put off.C. Extreme space weather will happen before 2026.D. Previous observations make no difference to the study.DWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementaryschool students inAuckland,New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher.Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program forAucklandelementary schools.Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.12. What was special for some elementary school students inAuckland?A. A digital teacher taught them.B. They first saw something digital.C. This was the start of a new school year.D. They could get close to smartphone screen.13. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?A. It can smile back.B. It can use microphone.C. It can talk any topic for free.D. It can change if necessary.14. What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?A. Optimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Unclear.D. Disapproving.15. What might be the best title for the passage?A. New High-tech Contributes to EducationB. The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.C.

2019-2020学年深圳市坪山高级中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案
2019-2020学年深圳市坪山高级中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读(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AWhen it comes to the greatest inventions of the world, China’s name is sure to be mentioned several times. There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.AlcoholShocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.TeaChina is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.The Mechanical ClockHave you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.Silk FabricSilk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A.people in the US like alcoholB.beer was popular in the Xia DynastyC.Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accidentD.the author didn’t know alcohol is a Chinese invention2.The author asks the question in Paragraph 4 to show ________.A.ancient Chinese inventors were wiserB.many things in our lives are incompleteC.ancient Chinese people never wasted timeD.the invention of the mechanical clock is important3.Which of the following invention has a longer history?A.Tea.B.Alcohol.C.Silk fabric.D.The mechanical clock.BThe Native American of northern California were highly skilled at basketry, using the reeds, graeses, barks, and roots they found around them to fashion articles of all sorts and sizes-not only trays, containers, and cooking pots, but hats, boats, fish traps, baby carriers, and ceremonial objects.Of all these experts, none excelled the Pomo-a group who lived on or near the coast during the 1800's, and whose descendants continue to live in parts of the same region to this day. They made baskets three feet in diameter and othersno bigger than a thimble (顶针). The Pomo people were masters of decoration. Some of their baskets were completely covered with shell pendants;others with feathers that made the baskets’ surfaces as soft as the breasts of birds. Moreover, the Pomo people made use of more weaving techniques than did their neighbors. Most groups made al their basketwork by twining--the twisting of a flexible horizontal material, called a weft, around stiffer vertical strands of material, the warp. Others depended primarily on coiling-a process in which a continuous coil of stiff material is held in the desired shape with tight wrapping of flexible strands. Only the Pomo people used both processes with equal ease and frequency. In addition, they made use of four distinct variations on the basic twining process, often employing more than one of them in a single article.Although a wide variety of materials was available, the Pomo people used only a few. The warp was always made of willow, and the most commonly used weft was sedge root, a woody fiber that could easily be separated into strands no thicker than a thread. For color1 , the Pomo people used the bark of red-bud for their twined work and dyed bullrush root for black in coiled work. Though other materials were sometimes used, these four were the staples in their finest basketry.If the basketry materials used by the Pomo people were limited, the designs were amazingly varied. Every Pomo basket maker knew how to produce from fifteen to twenty distinct patterns that could be combined in a number of different.4. The word “fashion” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. maintainB. organizeC. tradeD. create5. What is the author's main point in paragraph 2?A. The neighbors of the Pomo people tried to improve on the Pomo basket weaving techniques.B. The Pomo people were the most skilled basket weavers in their region.C. The Pomo people learned their basket weaving techniques from other Native Americans.D. The Pomo baskets have been handed down for generations.6. According to the passage, the relationship between red-bud and twining is most similar to the relationship between ______.A. bullrush and coilingB. weft and warpC. willow and feathersD. sedge and weaving7. Which of the following statements about Pomo baskets can be best inferred from the passage?A. Baskets produced by other Native Americans were less varied in design than those of the Pomo.B. Baskets produced by Pomo weaves were primarily for ceremonial and religious purposes.C. There were a very limited number of basket-making materials available to the Pomo people.D. The basket-making production of the Pomo people has been increasing over the years.CIt’s a little before8 a.m. when Mathias Schergen pushes open the side door at Chicago’s Jenner Elementary Academy for the Arts. He walks down the hall toward the office to sign in. It’s the same routine he’s had as Jenner’s art teacher for nearly a quarter century. “It’s going to be a good day,” a colleague calls out. “It’s a good day.” They hug. It seems like a typical Friday. Except it’s not. After 23 years at Jenner Elementary, Schergen is retiring. Even on his last day, there are still art projects to finish.Schergen leaves behind a richlegacyat this school. He’s won grants (拨款) for art projects. He turned an empty classroom into a museum. He’s pushed his students to make art about their lives. And he was awarded a Golden Apple — the most honorable teaching award in Chicago. But it wasn’t always easy. For years, Schergen taught in one of the city’s toughest neighborhoods. “When I first got my room, I noticed there were bullet holes in the window. That made me nervous,” he says. So he stuffed Beanie Babies in the holes to make it “look kind of funny”. “I didn’t even tell my wife for a whole year,” he says. “I didn’t want her to know.”With one hour to go, Schergen piles the chairs and sweeps the floor. He cleans out the sink for the last time. Fifth-grader Deontae Barnes, one of his best helpers, has watched him say goodbye all day. He wanders in the doorway. “Ah, come here, son,” Schergen says, signaling him over. He bends down for a hug. “Thank you for making these last days special and being a help to me.”When Deontae leaves, a reporter asks Schergen: When your kids ask why you’re retiring, what do you tell them? “I just tell them that grown people have dreams too,” he says. “I have other things in my life I have to do. It’s time. It’s just time.”8. Why is it a special Friday for Schergen?A. He was retiring on that day.B. He won an honor for his school.C. He was interviewed by a reporter.D. He received a Golden Apple award.9. What does the underlined word “legacy” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Art projects.B. Great achievements.C. Respect from students.D. Change in teaching.10. What made Schergen nervous when he first got to the school?A. Safety concerns in the school.B. The poorly-equipped classroom.C. Being misunderstood by his family.D. Students’ poor academic performance.11. What is the best title for the text?A.A Typical Day for an Art TeacherB. Time for Art ProjectsC. A Teacher’s Final Day at SchoolD. The Last Art ClassDAccording to Oxford Dictionaries, morality means: “Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.” Though morality is a rather subjective subject, there are some principles that are universal across all cultures found by an Oxford University study: “help your family, help your group, return favors, be brave, obey superiors, divide resources fairly, and respect others’ property”. The fact that these morals are found across 60 cultures from around the world demonstrates that morality, though subjective, is the cornerstone of keeping our societies together. Here are some reasons to be moral: without morality, a social life is almost impossible to maintain; having a good reputation and having a clear conscience is psychologically healthy; and most philosophies regard unselfish and principled behavior as important.There is no doubt that without morals, a society cannot function effectively. A confused situation would appear, According to the Society of Morality, “We are social animals, and the actions we take-the things we do and the things we don’t do-have consequences on our environments and on the others around us. As a result, we need to be able to govern our behavior in the near term so as not to injure ourselves or our community in the long term. This system of controlling our actions and our thoughts in order to operate in a community is what we often refer to as morality”. Therefore, we need a set of morals in order to operate within a social circle and a socialenvironment. Acting immoral usually results in being excluded from social activities or being avoided by a society based on laws and cultural standards. Besides acting moral having a sociological need, it also has a psychological basis. Most people are concerned to some extent about their reputation. According to PsyPost, “A lot of economic models of human behavior assume that people are only rational (理性的) when they narrowly pursue their own self-interest, but history shows us that people are also tremendously concerned with being and appearing moral”. So, the fear of one’s reputation being damaged is often a strong motivator to be moral. And if someonehas been immoral,most people go out of their way to make sure no one finds out, or to correct the behavior in order to not be caught. This goes in line with conscience as well. People generally feel in a better psychological state if they feel that their conscience is clean. A dirty conscience can result in a lack of sleep, anxiety, internal stress, and even illness.On the side of philosophy, the study of ethics (伦理) comes into play. Most philosophers agree that one should rationally choose a set of standards of behavior in order to function. Though there is moral relativism, there are universal anthropological (人类学的) morals, as mentioned in the introduction. By the nature of our societies and cultures, we choose what we believe is right and wrong. But surprising, this rational behavior comes to a general agreement on morals. So, there is a fine line between moral relativism and moral absolutism. But the main thing to take away from this discussion is that philosophers generally believe that each individual has the right to rationally come up with a set of ethics to live by, and that it is healthy to do so.12. The author discusses morality (paragraph 1) in order to ________.A. explain the relationship between morality and cultureB. describe the moral rules found all around the worldC. contrast the distinction between right and wrongD. introduce the definition, principles and reasons of morality13. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. acting moral allows us to fit into group betterB. morality brings the system of controlling behaviorC. contrast the distinction between right and wrongD. introduce the definition, principles and reasons of morality14. Which of the following is the psychological basis for acting moral?A pursuit of self-interest. B. a clean conscience.C. The concern about reputation.D. a dirty conscience.15. What does the author advise us to do according to the last paragraph?A. To reach a general agreement on morals based on ethics.B. to carve one’s own sense of ethics to operate in this world.C. To choose between moral relativism and moral absolutism.D. To exclude philosophers’ beliefs and solution as well.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。

深圳市2019高三年级第一次调研考试AFrances Stevens Reese Woodland Trail GuideThe Woodland Trail was opened to the public on October 21. 1997. Boscobel's Board ofDirectors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of former Boscobelboard member, Frances Stevens Reese(1917-2003), one year after his death.The trail(小径)is approximately10miles in length, leading down to Constitution Forest.When the West Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil War, trees for miles around were cleared to provide firewood. Walking outof the forest, you will find a large mass of nativehard rock about three billion years old.Throughout this country path, you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants localto this region. You will also find signs with historic and environmental information written byarea specialists.When you take a walk through this "undiscovered"forest land, please be a considerateguest.●Before walking the trail, please purchase a pass in the Carriage House. Plan ahead, soyou will be back by closing time●Follow the t rail markers and remain on the trail. Besides protecting the fragile forestecosystem,you will reduce the risk of poison plants and snakes.●Lea verocks, plants, animals and art works where you see them so that the personbehind you can have the same experience.●Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail. If you happen to see a piece of litter, be a good guest and pick itup.21. When was the trail named to honor Frances Stevens Reese?A. In 1997.B. In 1917.C. In 2003. B. In 2004.22. Whatcan you see along the trail?A. An old battle field.B. A glass factory.C. Information signs.D. Rock houses.23. What should you do as a thoughtful visitor?A. Leave the wildlife undisturbed.B. Throw the rubbish into the dustbins.C. Make reservations in the Carriage House.D. Protect the markers of the Woodland TrailKevin, diagnosed with Dyslexia (读写困难症), rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did,it would be a "Yes,"“No," or“Maybe," in response to questions. He always scored badly in testsand saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth center Kidpreneur.In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that center. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood - a low-income area in Sydney's western suburbs--and itsgoal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to sharetheir business experiences--Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade hishot-dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share hisentrepreneur (创业) story with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story andhanded him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what waspossible was at an all-time high.The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot-dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after,he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school's leadershipteam. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase potential customer base.All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion andperseverance to improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisoralso helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.24. Whatwere the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?A. To improve their test scores.B. To create a hot-dog business.C. To teach in low-income areas.D. To be beneficial to the local area.25. How did Kevin feel after visiting the local bakery?A. Scared.B. Confident.C. Touched.D. Grateful.26. What does the underlined word "kindle" probably mean?A.Inspire.B. Share.C. Continue.D. Express.27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. On the Road to RecoveryB. Turning Failure into SuccessC. Growing Wealthy through Hard WorkD. From Hopeless Youth to Business LeaderA woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church- goer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but firstshe had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this wasBouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It's extremely attractive and also memorable,to the point that it has become a problem.In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people whofelt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around theworld face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Youngresponded with a kind of compromise: carving out "photo free" hours during the exhibition'ssix-day run.One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that peopleseem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. Astudy recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this.It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observingit havea hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complexfor the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young's head of marketing andvisitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland." Yet a lot of people do, and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judgeone reason for buying a$8 ticket to be more valid than another. “If we removed social mediaand photography," she says, "we would risk becoming irrelevant."28. What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?A. To get her phone.B. To take a photo.C. To escape the crowd.D. To push ahead.29. How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?A. By setting periods without photo-taking.B. By making the exhibition free of charge.C. By compromising with the government.D. By extending the free exhibition hours.30. The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may_A. uncover the truthB. play a negative roleC. accumulate evidenceD. cause many complaints31. Which of the following may Linda Butler support?A. Catering to visitors.B. Reducing admission prices.C. Reserving judgement in public.B Banning social media and photography.Most autonomous vehicles test-driving in cities navigate (导航) by using 3-D mapsmarking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy. But few places have beenmapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to thosedriverless cars.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now have developed a newnavigation system that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps. This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driverwould by continually scanning its surroundings, with a laser sensor (激光感应器), to measure how close it isto the edges of the road. Meanwhile, the car also flows a tool like a smart phonemap app that provides directions to its destination,as well as information about the rules oftheroad, such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights. Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, test-drove a car equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road. It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other existingcomputing technology to discover in-road obstacles (障碍), says Ort. Theresearchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets, so that the car can drive on two-way roads."Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different conditions,” says Alexander Wyglinski, an electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “Since laser sensors don't work well in rain or snow,these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather."32. What may be a problem for most driverless cars?A. They fail in test-driving.B. Their maps are outdated.C. They run in limited areas.D. Their guides are unreliable.33. What can we infer about the MIT navigation system?A. It includes accurate maps.B. It removes in-road obstacles.C. It works by detecting the road.D. It features a smart phone app.34. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?A. To confirm the test drive results.B. To indicate further research areas.C. To recognize scientists' achievements.D. To show the creativity of driverless cars.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Autonomous cars beat human drivers on country roads.B. Navigating self-driving cars may work in different conditions.C Smart mapping technology adds to the functions of self-driving cars.D. A new navigation system helps autonomous cars drive remote roads.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)How to Tell a Great StoryIn this information age, business lea ders won't be heard unless they’re telling stories.
