Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)People worry that developments in Artificial Intelligence, or A.I., will bring about a point in history when A. I. overtakes human intelligence, leading to an unimaginable revolution in human affairs. Or they wonder whether instead of our controlling artificial intelligence, it will control us.The situation may not arise for hundreds of years to come, but this doesn’t mean we have nothing to worry about. On the contrary, The A. I. products that now exist are improving faster than most people realize and promise to fundamentally transform our world, not always for the better. They are only tools, not a competing form of intelligence. But they will reshape what work means and how wealth is created.Unlike the Industrial Revolution and the Computer Revolution, the A. I. revolution is not taking certain jobs and replacing them with other jobs. Instead, it is believed to cause a wide - scale elimination of jobs -- mostly lower - paying jobs, but some higher - paying ones, too.This transformation will result in enormous profits for the companies that develop A.I., as well as for the companies that adopt it. We are thus facing two developments that do not sit easily together; enormous wealth concentrated in relatively few hands and enormous numbers of people out of work. What is to be done?Part of the answer will involve educating or retraining people in tasks A.I. tools aren’t good at. Artificial intelligence is poorly suited for jobs involving creativity, planning and “cross - field” thinking. But these skills are typically required by high - paying jobs that may be hard to retrain第4页displaced workers to do. More promising are lower - paying jobs involving the “people skills” that A.I. lacks: social workers, barmen, doormen -- professions requiring human interaction. But how many barmen does a society really need?The solution to the problem of mass unemployment will involve “service jobs of love.” These are jobs that A. I. cannot do, that society needs and that give people a sense of purpose. Examples include accompanying an older person to visit a doctor, helping at an orphanage and serving as a sponsor at charity organization. The volunteer service jobs of today, in other words, may turn into the real jobs of the future.Other volunteer jobs may be higher - paying and professional, such as compassionate medial service providers. In all cases, people will be able to choose to work fewer hours than they do now.56. In what aspect is the A. I. revolution different from the Industrial or the Computer revolution?A. The A.I. revolution will finally become one beyond human’s control.B. A. I. is believed to lead to a point in history when it takes over human intelligence.C. Higher - paying jobs will take the place of lower-paying ones in the A.I. revolution.D. It may bring about mass unemployment to matter how much employees are paid.57. The underlined word “promising” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.A. promotionalB. demandingC. guaranteedD. potential58. What does the author suggest in the face of the A.I. revolution?A. It is sensible to encourage people to take volunteer jobs.B. People should be instructed to do less demanding jobs.C. The problem of job loss can be solved by creating lower-paying jobs.D. Jobs requiring knowledge in different fields are suitable for displaced workers.59. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. The A.I. Revolution Creates New Job Opportunities.B. Challenges the A. I. Revolution Brings to Job Market.C. A Double - edged Sword: the A.I. Revolution.D. Interrelationship between A.I. and Unemployment.(B)Advanced Rechargeable Digital Hearing Aid Technology Only $229!The new Advanced HearClear HCR3 rechargeable hearing and combines advanced technology witha low price to provide you with outstanding value.5 star Reviews!☆☆☆☆☆Outstanding Product! “This product is outstanding.

One【2019届上海市虹口区高三英语一模试题】Section BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There aren’t many actors around the world who have enough selfconfidence to turn down an offer from Steven Spielberg. Maybe thatwas why Juliette Binoche gave him a choice. She said she’d be happyto be in Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur. Of coursehe turned her down and it was probably a good thing. It’s difficult toimagine Juliette ripping people apart with her teeth. However, herdecision doesn’t seem to have done her career any harm. She has gone on to make a string of hits, including The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The English Patient (for which she won an Oscar) and Chocolat.Success in the United States has not been so easy for otherforeign stars. Gerald Depardieu is a good example. Since his firstfilm in 1967, his filmography(影片集锦) lists 172 acting credits.But he has struggled on the other side of the pond. While some ofhis films have been popular in the US, they have usually beenFrench films that travelled. One possible exception was Green Card, directed by Peter Weir, where he plays a French immigrant who goes through a fake wedding in order to stay and work in the United States. This is a predictable but sweet romantic comedy which typecasts (分配同一类型角色) its lead actors in terms of national stereotypes. While some reviewers were kind, others shredded both the film and Depardieu’s performance.While Monsieur Depardieu has n’t received the recognition he would have liked in the United States, one Mexican actor has achieved almost instant success. Gael Garcia Bernal first gained recognition in Amores Perros in 2000 and a year later in Y tu mama tambien. Since then he has appeared with hometown hero, Brad Pitt in Babel and, under the direction of top producer and director, Jim Jarmusch, he starred in Limits of Control. He hasn’t picked up an Oscar yet, but hewas nominated for a BAFTA(英国电影电视艺术学院奖) in 2005 for his performance as the South American hero revolutionary Che Guevara, in Motorcycle Diaries. In the same year he played American music icon Elvis Presley in The King.56. It can be inferred from the passage that Juliette Binoche ______.A. very much wanted to be in Jurassic ParkB. didn’t want to be in Jurassic ParkC. really wanted to play a dinosaur in Jurassic ParkD. was hesitant whether she could play a dinosaur well57. According to the writer, Gerald Depardieu’s most popular films ______.A. have been made in HollywoodB. have only been seen in EuropeC. have been made in France, but seen in other countries, tooD. have been made in Hollywood, but well received in France58. The last sentence in Para 2 “o thers shredded both the film and Depardieu’s performance”means others thought Depardieu’s performance and the film were ______.A. complexB. interestingC. terribleD. impressive59. The writer’s purpose in writing this article is to suggest that ______.A. Foreign actors generally do well in the United StatesB. American actors are able to earn more money than foreign actorsC. Foreign actors are playing an irreplaceable role in the United StatesD. a successful career in Europe or Latin America doesn’t guarantee success in the USAKeys: 56-59 BCCDSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them. There are four choices marked A, B, C and D. choose the one that fits best according to the Information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Despite an advertisement campaign suggesting wall-to-wall special effects, “Bridge of Terabithia” is grounded in reality far more than in fantasy. Adapting Katherine Paterson’s award-winning novel, the screenwriters David Paterson and Jeff Stockwell have produced a thoughtful and extremely affecting story of a transformative friendship between two unusually gifted children. The result is a movie whose emotional depth could appeal more to adults than to their children.Jess Aarons (Josh Hutcherson) is a sixth grader with four sisters, financially tensed parents and a talent for drawing. An introverted(内向的) kid who is regularly picked on by the school buses, Jess forms a bond with a new student named Leslie (Anna Sophia Robb), a free spirit whose parents, both writers, are fondly neglectful. An attraction between outsiders, their friendship feeds on her words and his pictures; together they create an imaginary kingdom in the woods behind their homes, a world they can control and where their minds can wander free.Beautifully capturing a time when a bully in school can occur as large as a monster in a nightmare and the encouragement of a teacher can alter the course of a life, “Bridge to Terabithia” keeps the fantasy in the background to find magic in the everyday. Gabor Csupo directs this, his first feature, like someone close to the pain of being different, fascinated in tiny, perfect details.With strong performances from all the lea ds, “Bridge to Terabithia” is able to handle adult topics with sensitivity. As the emotional landscape darkens, those who haven’t read the book may be surprised at the sorrow the filmmakers cause without ever resorting to horror or terror. In other words, your children may cry, but they won’t be traumatized so badly.Consistently smart and delicate as a spider web, “Bridge to Terabithia” is the kind of children’s movie rarely seen nowadays. At a time when many public schools are being forced to cut music an d art from the curriculum, the story’s insistence on the healing power of a cultivated imagination is both welcome and essential.56. The second paragraph indicates that Jess and Leslie ________.A. lost their control over the imaginary kingdomB. looked down on their individual realitiesC. formed a good friendship despite their different talentsD. wrote a book about a magical land called Terabithia57. Which of the following words is most likely to replace “traumatized” (paragraph 4)?A. criticizedB. ignoredC. delightedD. shocked58. The two children most likely ________.A. skipped school to play in the woods behind their campusB. created an imaginary world as an escape from realityC. disappointed their parents with their over-active imaginationsD. won against the bullies at school with strong performances59. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?A. The fantasy components of the movie were too over-done.B. The movie is motional but not much too dramatic.C. “Bridge to Terabithia” has a negative impact on public school education.D. Children shouldn’t watch the film as they are too young to understand the topics.Keys: 56-59 CDBBSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One recent night, while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal, my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked. “A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.” In other words, ideals---general descriptions of people’s expectations of themselves and others---can often lead us to unreasonable ideas. It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people. We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin, the year of their birth or any other related factors.I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America. The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes: Jewish people were “greedy,” Mexicans were “poorly educated,” and Asians were “good at math.” These labels were taugh t to us from a young age. They wormed their wayinto our belief systems, harming how we came to see others. It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true. The rush-to-judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination(歧视).You can also see these over-generalized description being made against today’s Chinese people. Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among millennials(千禧一代) being described as “monkish,” or “dad-fashion(复古作风)” which has given the “greasy midd le-aged men” tag, stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society. But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.It’s about time that we, as a society, walked away from general izations and stereotypes. I leave you with the words of Martin Luther King Jr. from his famous “I Have a Dream” speech: “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” By reserving judgmen t and really getting to know the individual, you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.56. According to the passage, how do people tend to judge others?A. By describing people’s personalities.B. By truly getting to know those around.C. By observing their noticeable features.D. By following Martin Luther King’s speech57. According to the author, a culture of discrimination appears because __________.A. people live in places of various racesB. people are born with unreasonable ideasC. prejudices slightly influence people’s belief systemD. people usually make judgments without thinking twice58. Examples of “millennials” and “dad-fashion” are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to reveal _______.A. generalizations have unfavourable position in societyB. generalizations have a negative influence on our societyC. generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-aged ChineseD. generalizations make today’s Chinese people lack interest or worry59. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A. the common prejudiceB. people’s expectation of themselvesC. the groundless worriesD. the famous speech of Martin Luther KingKeys: 56-59 CDBASection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)What to endure before publication?It takes a lot to write a novel. Even those who haven’t tried would say, “Well, duh!” to this. But it’s not much the mind space or the considerable time it takes to write a novel that is as discouraging as how many times any writer must go back to the drawing board for yet another draft. To really ready a novel for publication, a writer must spend time with his or her book. Like any promising relationship, you, the writer , must date your novel, take it out to dinner, meet its parents, and see it through its most trying and desperate times. As a writer, you have to stay up all night with your novel crying and talking and sometimes even pulling your hair out before that perfect moment of inspiration can truly help you cross the finish line.For many published authors I know, myself included, a completed novel takes them about 10, that’s right, 10 drafts, and at least a year of real editing. Will you be spending every single second editing your novel? No, of course not. Just as drafts need some real time on the surgery table, they also need rest in the recovery room. You don’t nurse a relationship by spending every waking second with them until you can’t stand the sight of each other, and you can’t produce a novel by breathing down its literary neck. However, a novel should undergo many drafts---and different kinds of drafts—before declaring it ready for an agent or editor to see.Everyone has their own way to write a novel, and not all craft advice (or even craft “rules”) should all be followed by everyone, but when it comes to the many drafts of a novel, there are specific things a writer should focus on during each revision to help create a smooth transition from the initial idea to final products.56. People are discouraged from writing a novel mainly because it requires _____.A. a good publisherB. too much thinkingC. tons of working timeD. frequent revisions57. What do writers do in the course of creating a novel?A. They spend every minute with the novel.B. They treat the novel as a lover.C. They go out with some readers for dinner.D. They hurt themselves to stay awake.58. By “breathing down its literary neck” in Paragraph 2, the author most probably means _____.A. writing casually thus failing to take readers’ breath awayB. letting go a single mistake thus annoying the readersC. X-raying the work thus finding each literary mistakeD. sticking too close to the work thus causing anxiety59. Which of the following is most likely to come after the last paragraph?A. The importance of using proper transitional words in writing.B. The writing experience shared by famous successful write.C. Tips on how to make ten drafts to complete a good novel.D. Setbacks writers may suffer if ignoring the craft advice.Keys: 56-59 DBDCSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The lives of the Ancient Greeks revolved(运转) around Eris, a concept by which they defined the universe. They believed that the world existed in a condition of opposites. If there was good, then there was evil；if there was love, then there was hatred; joy, then sorrow; war, then peace; andso on. The Greeks believed that good Eris occurred when one held a balanced outlook on life and coped with problems as they arose. It was a kind of ease of living that came from trying to bring together the great opposing forces in nature. Bad Eris was evident in the violent conditions that ruled men’s lives. Although these things were found in nature and sometimes could not be controlled, it was believed that bad Eris occurred when one ignored a problem, letting it grow larger until it destroyed not only that person, but his family as well. The Ancient Greeks saw Eris as a goddess: Eris, the Goddess of Discord, better known as Trouble.One myth that expresses this concept of bad Eris deals with the marriage of King Peleus and the river goddess Thetis. Zeus, the supreme ruler, learns that Thetis would bear a child strong enough to destroy its father. Not wanting to father his own ruin, Zeus convinces Thetis to marry a human, a mortal(凡人) whose child could never challenge the gods. He promises her, among other things, the greatest wedding in all of Heaven and Earth and allows the couple to invite whomever they please. This is one of the first mixed marriages of Greek Mythology and the lesson learned from it still applies today. They do invite everyone . . . except Eris, the Goddess of Discord. In other words, instead of facing the problems brought on by a mixed marriage, they turn their backs on them. They refused to deal directly with their problems and the result is tragic. In her fury(狂怒), Eris arrives, ruins the wedding, causes a jealous argument between the three major goddesses over a golden apple, and sets in place the conditions that lead to the Trojan War. The war would take place 20 years in the future, but it would result in the death of the only child of the bride and groom, Achilles. Eris would destroy the parents’ hopes for their future, leaving the couple with no legal heirs (继承人) to the throne.Hence, when we are told, “If you don’t invite trouble, trouble comes,” it means that if we don’t deal with our problems, our problems will deal with us . . . with a revenge! It is easy to see why the Greeks considered many of their myths learning myths, for this one teaches us the best way to defeat that which can destroy us.56. Bad Eris is defined in the passage as _______.A. the violent conditions of life.B. the problems man encounters.C. the evil goddess who has a golden apple.D. the murderer of generations.57. Zeus married Thetis off because _______.A. he needed to buy the loyalty of a great king of mankind.B. he feared the gods would create bad Eris by competing over her.C. he feared the Trojan War would be fought over her.D. he feared being a father of a boy who would kill him in the future.58. Zeus did not fear a child of King Peleus because _______.A. he knew that the child could not climb Mt. Olympus and manage to kill a god.B. he knew that the child would be killed in the Trojan War which would happen in 20 years.C. he knew t hat no matter how strong a mortal child was, he couldn’t overthrow an immortal god.D. he knew that Thetis would always love him above everyone else.59. What does the myth in the passage want to tell us?A. Do not consider a mixed marriage.B. Do not anger the gods.C. Do not ignore the problems that arise in life.D. Do not take myths seriously.Keys: 56-59 ADCCSection BDirections:Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or Unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Once again DC Comics and Warner Bros. have divided fans and critics over their latest superhero film.There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter and, of course, a lot of talk about Ben Affleck’s future in the role of Batman.Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment, that it could havebeen incredible and instead fails to really entertain. Others say that Warner Bros, have finally got it right and that the future for the League looks bright. My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment: it was exciting, funny and a lot of fun to watch. There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.However, I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to make a great success. Although the film was good, it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed. I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done; there are the kinds of problems that you don’t expect to see in a film with such a big budget.Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun. But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer---here, not mentioning the name---is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.In the end, Justice League is not a perfect film but it is definitely not a terrible one.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I’m a student in my fourth year of a biomedical science degree at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, but I also work 38 hours a week at Sainsbury’s to make ends meet. I do three night shifts a week, plus overtime if I can get it. Monday is the most occupied day for me -- I work from 10 pm until 8 am on Saturday and Sunday nights, earning just over £100 a night, and then I have to be at my first lecture at 9 am on Monday. By the time I finish lectures, at 2 p m, I’m exhausted, but I know I have to be back at work by 10 pm.I constantly have to force myself to stay awake, and to be alert, whatever it takes. A packet of Skittles and a Red Bull usually helps. The work I do at Sainsbury’s is very physical like stac king shelves. I’m lucky because I’m an active person and the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weights I lift in the gym. I know I have the strength to bear it.I’m originally from Nigeria. I came here when I was seven, growing up in Croyd on, south London. Money was tight. My parents gave me everything I needed, but there was no money to spend on luxuries. I worked hard at school though and, with the help of GT Scholars, I got some of the best A-level grades in my class.Unfortunately, thou gh I had applied for “settled” British residential status when very young, the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application. That meant I wasn’t eligible for a student loan. The only way I could afford to go to university was that if I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents, who work in market research, paid for my tuition fees. In Scotland, that’s about £7,000 a year.I don’t have much time to socialize because of my job. Ideally, I would also like to havemore time to study so I can excel at my course. Yes, I have a lot on my plate, but working hard isn’t new to me. Growing up, my parents and my mentors in the church and at GT Scholars cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.My dream is to do an MA in physiotherapy next year and then get a job working for the NHS. But right now, I’m just focused on trying to get the best grades I can. Whenever I find life hard, I tell myself this is about my future. I don’t need much, but I would like to worry less about money and have more free time. That is what I look forward to the most.56. Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every week?A. To help his parents pay off the debts.B. To pay for his tuition fees.C. To prove his ability to earn money.D. To pay for his own living expenses.57. The underlined word “eligible” in the passage can be replaced by ________.A. responsibleB. qualifiedC. feasibleD. anxious58. According to the passage, which of the following words can NOT be used to describe the author?A. Sociable.B. Diligent.C. Ambitious.D. Persistent.59.

While flying over the mountains, the plane encountered violent airflow. Losing control suddenly, it hit an unknownmountain peak. The impact of the crash claimed the lives of a few passengers immediately, leaving many injured including my sister.Adding a slight chance of being found out, we waited in the open, as opposed to waiting in the plane, even though it was freezing cold. At night, we slept side by side to keep ourselves warm and melted snow into water. We knew our fo od couldn’t last us long, sticking to the hope that we would be rescued soon.We knew from radio that the outside world was trying to look for the missing aircraft. However, the aircraft was white and blended in with the snow, making it impossible to be seen from the sky. Later, our hope was dead when we found out via our radio that the rescue effort ended.Now climbing over the mountains ourselves to search for help seemed to be our only chance of survival. Although the crash site was an awful place, with urine（尿）everywhere and smelling of death, I still wished to stay there. But my sister would give in to her injuries soon if we were not rescued. Thus, together with two other people, Canessa and Vizintin, I decided to walk through the icy wilderness for help. Carrying some food and water, the three climbers started our journey. If we had known anything about climbing, we would have realized that we were already finished. The mountain we were about to challenge was one with slopes so steep that it would scare away a team of expert climbers. Our ignorance provided our only chance.We endured exhaustion and starvation and we had reached the top.To our horror, we found nothing. Disappointed, we were about to give up hope when I spotted a valley at the base of the mountain and again we started making our way down the mountain.Eventually, at the bottom of the mountain we were helped by a local farmer who called the police for help. I then guided the rescue team via a helicopter to the crash site. Finally, after we had endured nineteen cruel days, the world found out that there were 16 survivors who had cheated death despite the odds.56. Why did they stay outside the plane?A. Because they didn’t want to stay with dead people inside.B. Because it’s easier to obtain melted snow for water.C. Because they hoped to be seen by the rescue people.D. Because other passengers were against staying inside.57. Why did the author leave the crash site despite his wish to stay?A. Because he could get help from two experienced climbers.B. Because his sister might die without timely medical help.C. Because the crash site was too terrible for him to stay in.D. Because he would like to be tested by the steep mountain slopes.58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Rescue people didn’t notice the aircraft because of its color at the beginning.B. The public knew where the plane crashed from the radio.C. The author gave up the climb halfway due to disappointment.D. More than half of the plane passengers were finally rescued.59. The underlined sentence had cheated death despite the odds is closest in meaning to ________.A. had told lies about death in spite of realityB. had avoided death in spite of huge difficultiesC. had treated death with positive attitudeD. had almost died in spite of strange expectationKeys: 56-59 CBABSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.

Once the water subsided, a rich deposit of sand was left behind, making an excellent topaoil. Seeds were sown, yielding wheat, barley, beans, lentils and leeks.Drought could spell disaster for the Egyptians, so during the dry seasons, they dug basins and channels to deliver water to their land. They also devised simple channels to transfer water at the peak of the flood.An early system of ___33___ a Nilometer, was used to de determine the size of the floods. Later, during the New Kingdom, a lifting system called a shaduf was used to raise water from the river--___34___ to the way in which a well is used today.

Adapting Katherine Paterson’s award-winning novel, the screenwriters David Paterson and Jeff Stockwell have produced a thoughtful and extremely affecting story of a transformative friendship between two unusually gifted children. The result is a movie whose emotional depth could appeal more to adults than to their children.Jess Aarons (Josh Hutcherson) is a sixth grader with four sisters, financially tensed parents and a talent for drawing. An introverted(内向的) kid who is regularly picked on by the school buses, Jess forms a bond with a new student named Leslie (Anna Sophia Robb), a free spirit whose parents, both writers, are fondly neglectful. An attraction between outsiders, their friendship feeds on her words and his pictures; together they create an imaginary kingdom in the woods behind their homes, a world they can control and where their minds can wander free.Beautifully capturing a time when a bully in school can occur as large as a monster in a nightmare and the encouragement of a teacher can alter the course of a life, “Bridge to Terabithia” keeps the fantasy in the background to find magic in the everyday. Gabor Csupo directs this, his first feature, like someone close to the pain of being different, fascinated in tiny, perfect details.With strong performances from all the leads, “Bridge to Terabithia” is able to handle adult topics with sensitivity. As theemotional landscape darkens, those who haven’t read the book may be surprised at the sorrow the filmmakers cause without ever resorting to horror or terror. In other words, your children may cry, but they won’t be traumatized so badly.Consistently smart and delicate as a spider web, “Bridge to Terabithia” is the kind of children’s movie rarely seen nowadays. At a time when many public schools are being forced to cut music and art from the curriculum, the story’s insistence on the healing power of a cultivated imagination is both welcome and essential.56.The second paragraph indicates that Jess and Leslie ________.A.lost their control over the imaginary kingdomB.looked down on their individual realitiesC.formed a good friendship despite their different talentsD.wrote a book about a magical land called Terabithia57.Which of the following words is most likely to replace “traumatized” (paragraph 4)?A.criticizedB.ignoredC.delightedD.shocked58.The two children most likely ________.A.skipped school to play in the woods behind their campusB.created an imaginary world as an escape from realityC.disappointed their parents with their over-active imaginationsD.won against the bullies at school with strong performances59.Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?A.The fantasy components of the movie were too over-done.B.The movie is motional but not much too dramatic.C.“Bridge to Terabithia” has a negative impact on public school education.D.Children shouldn’t watch the film as they are too young to understand the topics.(B)Hot Air BalloonsA hot air balloon is madeup of 3 main parts:The EnvelopeThe actual fabric balloonwhich holds the airThe BurnerThe unit which pushes theheat up into the envelopeThe BasketWhere the passengers andpilot standThe basis of how the balloon works is that warmer air rises in cooler air. This is because hot air is lighter than cool air as it has less mass per unit of volume. Mass can be defined by the measure of how much matter something contains. The actual balloon has to be large as it takes a large amount of heated air to lift it off theground.The burner uses propane gas to heat up the air in the envelope to move the balloon off the ground and into the air. The pilot must keep firing the burner at regular intervals throughout the flight to ensure that the balloon continues to the stable. Naturally, the hot air will not escape from the hot at the very bottom of the envelop as firstly, hot air rises and secondly, the floating power keeps it moving up.To move the balloon upwards, the pilot opens up the propane value which lets the propane flow to the burner which in turn frees the flame up into the envelope. It works in much the same way as a gas grill: the more you open the valve, the bigger the flame to beat the air and the faster the balloon rises.The “Parachute Valve” at the very top of the balloon is what is used to bring the balloon down towards the ground. It is a circle of fabric cut out of the top of the envelop which is controlled by a rope which runs down through the middle of the envelope to the basket. If the pilot wants to bring the balloon down, he or she simply pulls on the rope which will open the valve, letting hot air escape, decreasing the inner air temperature. This cooling of air causes the balloon to slow its rise.The pilot can operate horizontally by changing the vertical position of the balloon because the wind blows in different directions at different altitudes. If the pilot wants to move in a particular direction, he or she simply arises and falls to the appropriate level and rides with the wind.60.The purpose of this article is to __________.A.explain how hot air balloons workB.illustrate why hot air balloons are usefulC.describe hot air balloons’ structurerm readers about how hot air balloons are made61.What would happen if the “Parachute Valve” could not be released after it was opened?A.The inside of the balloon would continue to heat up.B.The balloon would climb up more rapidlyC.The self-sealing valve would need to take over the role of the Parachute Valve.D.The balloon would begin to move down more rapidly.62.Which of the following skills or knowledge would be the most useful to a balloon pilot?A.The ability to sew the panels of fabric together to make a balloon.B. An understanding of how propane gas is manufactured.C.A knowledge of the background of passengers who are travelling in the balloon.D. A knowledge of air currents and wind directions in the area where he is piloting the balloon.(C)The surface of Venus has never seemed very hospitable. Temperatures change around 470°C(900°F), the result of a runway greenhouse effect, and the pressure of its atmosphere, thick with carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid(硫酸), is some 90 times that of Earth’s. Lead(铅) would flow like water on Venus, and water cannot have existed in liquid form for perhaps a billion years.Now NASA’S Magellan spacecraft seems to have found one more horror in the nasty landscape: active volcanoes. Last week the space agency released the first detailed map of Venus and the most dramatic images ever made of its surface. The picture offer the best evidence to date that a planet once assumed dead is actually a lively pot of geological change.The most amazing image is of Venus’s second tallest mountain, Maat Mons, which rises 8km(5 miles) . Most of the planet’s many peaks, including 9.5-km-(6-mile-) high Maxwell Montes, look bright in the radar pictures Magellan takes from its orbit above the permanent could cover. That means they are strong reflectors of radar waves. But Maat Mons is dark; like the Stealth bomber, it absorbs much of the radar falling on it.This interesting fact, say project scientists, is a strong hint that the mountains has recently been covered with lava(熔岩). Rock that sits on the surface of mountaintops appears to weather quickly in the hot , chemically reactive atmosphere, creating a soil that is rich in iron sulfide(硫化铁). It is this mineral, the scientists believe, that can easily be seen on radar. If Maat Mons doesn’t have any, it has probably been resurfaced, perhaps within the past few years.Such resurfacing has undoubtedly taken place in Venus lowlands: earlier images of the planet showed vast areas that are remarkably free of craters(火山坑). That would be easy to explain on a Planet like Earth, where cratering from meteor strikes is erased by steady erosion. But while there is some evidence of wind erosion on Venus, the best explanation for the lack of cratering is periodic lava flow. Magellan has found direct evidence of such flows, including domelike upwellings and hardened streamed of rock trailing down the sides of Venusian peaks. There are also signs of other geologic activities, including dramatic faulting and several distinct incidents of mountain building. But the evidence can’t indicate whether they really occurred millions of years ago. The case for active Venusian volcanoes is not yet proved, but Magellan, which is now well into its second complete survey of the planet’s surface, may eventually settle the issue.63.Which of the following has NO possibility to be found on Venus now?A. Carbon dioxideB.Sulfuric acidC.Liquid waterD.Active volcanoes64.The scientists believe that _________ shows up easily on radar.A.geological changeB.iron sulfideC.mountain mineralD. lava flow65.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The resurfacing has changed the images of the vast areas in Venus lowlands.B.The wind erosion on Venus is caused by periodic lava flowsC.Streams of rock trailing down the side of Venusian peaks can be seen on EarthD.Other geologic activities have caused dramatic and unbelievable climate phenomenon.66.What can be inferred from the passage?A.NASA’S Magallan spacecraft fails to stand the environment of Venus.B.There is clear and confirmed evidence for the active Venusian volcanoes on Venus.C.Some evidence of periodic lava flows has been found by NASA astronauts.D.Magellan will conduct a follow-up complete survey of the Venus’ surface.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentences given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.However, facial recognition seems merely to encode them.B.Research show that artificial intelligence can reconstruct the facial structures of people.C. Anyone with a phone can take a picture for facial-recognition programs to use.D.Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces.E.Continuous facial recording that paints computerized data onto the real world might changethe texture of social interactions.F.The astonishing variety of facial features helps people recognize each other and is crucial tothe formation of complex societies.Nowhere To Hide:What Machines Can Tell From Your FaceThe human face is a remarkable piece of work. 67 So is the face’s ability to send emotional signals, whether through the unconscious shame or the trick of a false smile. People spend much of their waking lives, in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom, reading faces, for signs of attraction, hostility, trust and deceit. They also spend plenty of time trying to hide their feelings, intentions or nature.68 In America facial recognition is used by churches to track worshippers’ attendance; in Britain, by retailers to spot past shoplifters. This year Welsh police used it to arrest a suspect outside a football game. In China it confirms the identities of ride-hailing drivers, permits tourists to enter attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile. Apple’s new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the homescreen.Set against human skills, such applications might seem enhancive. Some breakthroughs, such as flight or the internet, obviously transform human abilities. 69 Although faces are peculiar to individuals, they are also public, so technology does not, at first sight, intrude on something that is private. And yet the ability to record, store and analyse images of facescheaply, quickly and on a vast scale promises one day to bring about fundamental changes to notions of privacy, fairness and trust.70 Masking true feelings helps fix the wheels of daily life. If your partner can spot every prohibited yawn, and your boss every hint of annoyance, marriages and working relationships will be more truthful, but less harmonious. The basis of social interactions might change, too, from a set of commitments founded on trust to calculations of risk and reward derived from the information a computer attaches to someone’s face. Relationships might become more reasonable, but also transactional.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Sport TourismTourism is the world’s largest industry and is predicted to grow well into the years to come. Increasingly, the economic importance of tourism has been recognized by governments around the world. At the same time, the tourism industry has become more complicated in its development and marketing new forms of tourism. One of the fastest growing parts of the tourism industry is travel related to sport and physical activity. A recent survey found that while the traditional beach and sight-seeing vacations continue to predominate, 22% of those surveyed reported that opportunities to participate in sports were important when selecting a vacation.The term sport tourism has been adopted in recent years to describe sport-related leisure travel. It is generally recognized that three are three broad categories of sport tourism. The first category. Watching sporting events or Sports Event Tourism includes hallmark events such as FIFA World Cup Football Championships, and the Olympic games. Tournament sponsored by the Professional Golf Association or the World Tennis Association are also part of the spectator-centered sector of sport tourism.The second type of sport tourism, celebrity and nostalgia sport tourism involves visiting famous sports-related attractions. Visits of the sports halls of fame fall into this category. Another form of celebrity and nostalgia sport tourism that has emerged in recent years is meeting famous sports personalities. The cruise industry has been experienced in this area. Sports theme cruise such as “the NBA basketball cruise” arrange for passengers to meet personalities from sports while on board.Active participation is the third category of sports tourism. This is composed of individuals who travel to participate in golf, skiing, and tennis in particular, although other sports such as fishing, and scuba diving are popular in the US.第II卷（共40分）V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.很多人对他们的潜能一无所知。

2019-2020学年上海虹口高级中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案

2019-2020学年上海虹口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AWhile Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor（监控器）a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer'sLos Angelesapartment, the monitor inPhoenixtracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked remotely to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past？Or was she slowing down？In the battle against cheating, this is thecutting edgeand a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. This technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid — that students haven't searched the Internet to get the right answers.Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses". Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.1. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?A. To correct her typing mistakes.B. To find her secrets in the room.C. To keep her from dishonest deeds.D. To prevent her from slowing down.2. What does the underlined expression "cutting edge" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. sharpening toolB. advanced techniqueC. effective ruleD. dividing line3. How can some programs find out possiblecheaters?A. By scanning the Internet test questions.B. By checking the question answering speed.C. By producing a large number of questions.D. By giving difficult test questions.BMusic is said to be a universal language. But for Chase Burton, a deaf filmmaker fromTexas, music has always been a totally different experience.“When I was a kid, I’d lie on the floor so I could feel the vibrations (震动，颤动) from my brother’s band rocking out below my body, ” the 33-year-old man said. “That was one of the first times I began building a relationship with music.”In 2016, his ability to experience music changed dramatically, thanks to California-based technology company Not Impossible Labs. It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to “feel” music through their skin. Consisting of a body harness (背带), ankle and wrist belts, the suit translates audio into a range of vibrating pulses that are felt at 24 contact points.Burtonhas been trialing the suit for four years.“The sound hits different parts of your body, ” saidBurton. “Maybe it will strikeme down in my ankles first. And then I’ll start to feel the vibrations in my back. And then I’ll feel some pulsations in my wrist.”The creators want to extends the tactile (触觉) musical experience beyond the deaf community. In 2018, they gave out 150 of the suits at a rock concert inLas Vegaswhere half the audience members were deaf and half were able to hear.Since then, Not Impossible Labs has been working to improve the technology and says it’s ready to go to market soon. Eventually, the creators want the suit to become a consumer product, accessible to all. The company’s talent and business development director, Jordan Richardson, said that the technology could be used in live sports broadcasts, video games and theme parks.As a writer and director who’s been working to make the movie world more accessible,Burtonhopes that the vibrating suit will be available to his film audiences in the future. He believes the suit canenhanceemotions whilewatching a movie – for hearing as well as deaf people. “I see the tech as a real opportunity to help people understand that music for movies doesn’t always need to be enjoyed through the ears”.4. Why would Chase Burton lie on the floor when he was a kid?A. To feel some pulsations in his wrist.B. To feel the vibrations from his brother’s band.C. To expand the tactile musical experience.D. To begin building a bond with films.5. What do we know about Not Impossible Labs from the passage?A. It was started by Chase Burton in 2016.B. Its products have been used in live sports broadcasts.C. It is a technology company based inCalifornia.D. Its administrative director is Jordan Richardson.6. Which can replace the underlined word “enhance” in the last paragraph?A. createB. expressC. coverD. strengthen7. What is the best title for the passage?A. Vibrating Suit Allows Deaf People to “Feel” MusicB. Tech Company Provides Free Suits for Deaf PeopleC. Deaf People Enjoy Rock Music with Free SuitD. Movies Need to Be Enjoyed Through the EarsCScientists have made great discoveries. But how have they influenced our personal lives? Do kids in your classroom even know when Einstein lived? You may be wondering: but why is it important to teachkids about modern-day scientists?First, stories of scientists can encourage kids. Chris Hadfield is a Canadian who went to space, and he’s a real, guitar-playing person. He makes singing videos on YouTube! His story can make kids think scientists are also common people. Hearing scientists’ stories makes kids think “I can do that too!”But not only that, the stories of famous scientists can encourage kids to never give up. Bill Nye was always refused when trying to be an astronaut. But today, he’s made a lot of successes in his role as a popular science educator and engineer. Besides, it’s no secret that scientific discoveries require trying, and trying again.Another way some scientists can encourage kids is through their diversity. Neil deGrasse Tyson, for example,is an African-American, which is not common in his field. Such stories can make kids think anyone can be a scientist.It’s important to know that scientists don’t need to be “gifted” or “good” at school. Often we consider a scientist as being an extremely smart kid at school. That doesn’t have to be true. They just need to have a great interest in science. Telling students stories of scientists can encourage them to show interest in science. As long as they’re interested, they are likely to become a scientist in the future.Modern scientists teach kids that knowledge builds upon the foundation others have laid. This is important — no one can do it alone. Scientists’ stories can encourage today’s young scientists to keep trying. They’ll be encouraged not to give up on the dream of making discoveries. Even if they haven’t made important discoveries, their research may help the following scientists.8. What can Chris Hadfield’s story tell students?A. Scientists are interested in different things.B. Students should have a hobby of their own.C. Scientists can be ordinary like people around us.D. Students should consider scientists as their models.9. Which of the following would the author agree with?A. African-Americans are more likely to become scientists.B. Scientists are not necessarily very smart at school.C. Not all scientists really show interest in science.D. Scientists are usually good at their schooling.10. The last paragraph shows us that ________.A. scientists should help each otherB. a scientist should never give up tryingC. making discoveries is necessary for scientistsD. new scientific discoveries may be based on others’ findings11. What is the text mainly about?A. Why scientists are important to us.B. Why students should be taught about scientists.C. Why students love stories of scientists.D. Why scientists can encourage students.DJerry Lawson had a love of science and invention from a very young age. And, with the support of his family and teachers, he took that love and helped change the world for billions of people, when he invented the modem video game cartridge.Both of Jerry's parents supported his love of science and invention. His father, a longshoreman, was a science fan and encouraged Jerry to always experiment with things. Jerry's first-grade teacher helped encourage him on his path to be someone influential similar to George Washington Carver, a great AfricanAmerican inventor. His first love in school was chemistry but he ended up liking electronics（电子学）even more.He earned an amateur ham radio license at age 13 and built his own radio station in his room, with an antenna hanging out of his window! Jerry earned money from fixing television sets, visiting people's homes for inhouse repair, and also working at local electronics stores. Jerry also made walkie-talkies and sold them to other kids. He spent many Saturdays at an electronics store that had all of the parts he needed for his inventions. He would use his small allowance and money he earned to buy parts to help fuel his inventions.When he was a young adult, Jerry joined Fairchild Semiconductor as an engineer. During this time, he created his own video arcade game（街机游戏），Demolition Derby, in his garage.A few years later, Jerry was asked to work on a secret project. Not even his boss was allowed to know what he was doing! What it turned out to be was that he was designing the Fairchild Channel F video gameconsole（游戏控制器）and leading the team that invented the video game cartridge. This was the first of its kind and enabled kids around the world to affordably play video games at home.Just like with automobiles，many advances have occurred since the inventionof video games. Video games are now one of the biggest forms of entertainment in the world. But all of this would not have been possible without the vision, passion, and skill of Jerry Lawson and his learn.12. How did Jerry earn money when he was a teenager?A. By running his radio station.B. By selling television sets.C. By repairing things for others.D. By making electronic parts.13. Before Jerry's secret project, playing video games at home was_____.A. expensiveB. harmfulC. commonD. tiring14. What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph?A. Jerry Lawson and his team can be more skillful.B. Jerry Lawson is important to the game industry.C.Many advances have taken place in the automobile industry.D. Video games are now the most popular form of entertainment.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Video Gaming-An Important IndustryB. Game Console-Key to Home Video GamesC. Jerry Lawson-Father of Modern GamingD. Support and Encouragement-Necessary for Success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学年上海市虹口区教育学院实验中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案

2019-2020学年上海市虹口区教育学院实验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ADuring ancient times, children didn’t have smartphones, iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet. In 1999, the sport was included in the 6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite , Weifang kite and Nantong kite, of which each has distinctive features. The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him or, more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center. By juggling(边抛边接) the diabolo on the rope, the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle. Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game, especially popular in North China. Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产).1.Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A.To practice their feet.B.To warm themselves.C.To train their skills.D.To relax themselves.2.Which kites are swallow-shaped?A.Weifang kites.B.Tianjin kites.C.Beijing kites.D.Nantong kites.3.Why does playing diabolos make a sound?A.Because the diabolo’s center is empty.B.Because the high-speed spinning diabolo is light.C.Because the diabolo is equipped with a whistle.D.Because ropes’ surface moves against the diabolo’s.B36-year-old Juan Dual likes to joke that he’s empty inside. Juan’s story began when he was only 13. It was then that he was diagnosed with a terrible disease, which left him with a 99.8% chance of developing cancer of the digestive system. At age 19, right after finishing high-school, Juan underwent a tough operation to take away his colon and rectum. Sadly, it was only the beginning. By age 28, Juan’s disease had affected his stomach and gallbladder so he had to go under the knife again.Having just recovered from several serious surgeries, Juan Dual decided to accept the invitation of some friends of his parents and travel to Japan. It was there that things started to change for the better. He didn’t speak a word of Japanese, so he spent most of his time walking his dog. One day, the dog pulled harder, and Juan realized that he was still able to jog, and he started to do just that.Months later, he found himself working in a small, peaceful town in England. There was little in terms of entertainment, but the town was surrounded by hills, so he devoted even more of his time to running. He befriended some like-minded folks and told them what he’d been through, and they seemed amazed at the fact that he was still alive, let alone that he was pushing himself to exercise. That’s when the idea of focusing on motivating others took root in his mind.With the help of Pepa, a nutritionist, Juan Dual slowly relearned how to eat to keep his energy level high enough to sustain him during physical activity. Eight months after his last operation, he finished the Barcelona half marathon in two hours. He then started training for mountain running and ultra-marathons.4. Why does Juan Dual say he is empty inside?A. Because he has no desire for anything.B. Because he doesn’t have much knowledge.C. Because he always suffers from great hunger.D. Because many of his organs have been removed.5. What made Juan Dual aware that he could still run?A. His parents’ support.B. A walk with his dog.C. The idea of challenging himself.D. His quick recovery from surgeries.6. When did Juan Dual decide to inspire others with his story?A. After finishing the Barcelona half marathon.B After being introduced to a nutritionist named Pepa.C. After sharing it with his friends in an English town.D. After making friends with people with similar sufferings.7. Which of the following words can best describe Juan Dual?A. Ambitious and intelligent.B. Inspiring and responsible.C. Unfortunate but determined.D. Confident but stubborn.CCuckoos don’t bother building their own nests—they just lay eggs that perfectly imitate those of other birds and take over their nests. But other birds are wishing up, evolving some seriously impressive tricks to spot the cuckoo eggs.Cuckoos are often know asparasites, meaning that they hide their eggs in the nest of other species. To avoid detection, the cuckoos have evolved so that eggs seem reproduction of those of their preferred targets. If the host bird doesn’t notice the strange egg in its nest, the little cuckoo will actually take the entire nest for itself after it comes out, taking the other eggs on its back and dropping them out of the nest.To avoid this unpleasant fate for their young, the other birds have evolved a few smart ways to spot the fakes, which we’re only now beginning to fully understand. One of the most amazing finds is that birds have an extra colour-sensitive cell in their eyes, which makes them far more sensitive to ultraviolet wavelengths and allows them to see a far greater range of colours than humans can. This allows cautious birds to detect a fake egg which might be exactly the same to our eyes.Fascinatingly, we’re actually able to observe different bird species at very different points in their evolutionary war with the cuckoos. For instance, some cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of the redstarts. The blue eggs these cuckoos lay are practically alike to those of the redstarts, and yet they are still sometimes rejected. Compare that with cuckoos who target dunnocks. While those birds lay perfectly blue eggs, their cuckoo invaders just lay white eggs with brown irregular shaped spots. And yet dunnocks barely ever seem to notice the obvious trick.Biologists suspect these more easily fooled species like the dunnocks are on the same evolutionary path asthe redstarts, but they have a long way to go until they evolve the same levels of suspicion. What’s remarkable is that the dunnocks fakes are so bad and the redstart ones so good, and yet cuckoos are still more successful with the former than the latter.It speaks to just how thoroughly a species’ behavior can be changed by the pressures of natural selection, or it might just be a bit of strategic cooperation on the part of the dunnocks. Biologists have suggested that these birds are willing to tolerate a parasite every so often because they don’t want to risk accidentally getting rid of one of their own eggs.8. This passage can be most likely found in a ________.A. science surveyB. nature magazineC. zoo advertisementD. travel journal9. What does the underlined word “parasite” in paragraph 2 most probably refer to?A. Animals that work together to raise young.B Small harmful animals such as worms or mice.C. Animals that can adapt to changing environments.D. Animals which live on or inside other host animals.10. Which of the following is TRUE about the dunnock according to the passage?A. It is colour-blind and therefore cannot identify foreign eggs in the nest.B. It can easily remove cuckoo eggs from the nest because fakes are so bad.C. It is a host bird that is more likely to raise a cuckoo chick than the redstart.D. It is unable to evolve and hence accepts cuckoo eggs that appear in the nest.11. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Dunnocks may eventually learn to recognise foreign eggs.B. Redstarts seem to be less suspicious compared to dunnocks.C. Cuckoo birds are good at taking responsibility for their own young.D. It is very easy for cuckoos to imitate the colouring of the dunnock’s egg.DYu Chenrui, 29, is a maker of automata (机关人偶) in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move ontheir own, “The art form amazes me, because it combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attractedcollectors worldwide.Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China in Beijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency in Beijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned to Chengdu to open his automata workshop.To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Yu is equipped with various skills.B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor.C Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide.D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft.13. Why did Yu quit his job in Beijing?A. He couldn't make a living out of it.B. He wanted to pursue his own dream.C. He missed his family in Chengdu.D. He thought he had a lot experience.14. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist?A. The fruits he grows.B. Success of his business.C. His devotion to the job.D. Observation from daily life.15. Which of the following can best describe Yu’s story?A. There is no end to learning.B. Great hopes make great man.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.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 年上海高三英语一模考试 阅读理解题汇编(pdf含答案).pdf

Section BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There aren’t many actors around the world who have enough selfconfidence to turn down an offer from Steven Spielberg.Maybe thatwas why Juliette Binoche gave him a choice.She said she’d be happyto be in Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur.Of coursehe turned her down and it was probably a good thing.It’s difficult toimagine Juliette ripping people apart with her teeth.However,herdecision doesn’t seem to have done her career any harm.She hasgone on to make a string of hits,including The Unbearable Lightness of Being ,The English Patient (for which she won an Oscar)and Chocolat.Success in the United States has not been so easy for otherforeign stars.Gerald Depardieu is a good example.Since his firstfilm in 1967,his filmography (影片集锦)lists 172acting credits.But he has struggled on the other side of the pond.While some ofhis films have been popular in the US,they have usually beenFrench films that travelled.One possible exception was Green Card ,directed by Peter Weir,where he plays a French immigrant who goes through a fake wedding in order to stay and work in the United States.This is a predictable but sweet romantic comedy which typecasts (分配同一类型角色)its lead actors in terms of national stereotypes.While some reviewers were kind,others shredded both the film and Depardieu’s performance.While Monsieur Depardieu hasn’t received the recognition he would have liked in the United States,one Mexican actor has achieved almost instant success.Gael Garcia Bernal first gained recognition in Amores Perros in 2000and a year later in Y tu mama tambien .Since then he has appeared with hometown hero,Brad Pitt in Babel and,under the direction of top producer and director,Jim Jarmusch,he starred in Limits of Control .Hehasn’t pickedup an Oscar yet,but he备战20202019 年上海高三英语一模考试 阅读理解题汇编was nominated for a BAFTA(英国电影电视艺术学院奖)in2005for his performance as the South American hero revolutionary Che Guevara,in Motorcycle Diaries.In the same year he played American music icon Elvis Presley in The King.56.It can be inferred from the passage that Juliette Binoche______.A.very much wanted to be in Jurassic ParkB.didn’t want to be in Jurassic ParkC.really wanted to play a dinosaur in Jurassic ParkD.was hesitant whether she could play a dinosaur well57.According to the writer,Gerald Depardieu’s most popular films______.A.have been made in HollywoodB.have only been seen in EuropeC.have been made in France,but seen in other countries,tooD.have been made in Hollywood,but well received in France58.The last sentence in Para2“o thers shredded both the film and Depardieu’s performance”means others thought Depardieu’s performance and the film were______.plexB.interestingC.terribleD.impressive59.The writer’s purpose in writing this article is to suggest that______.A.Foreign actors generally do well in the United StatesB.American actors are able to earn more money than foreign actorsC.Foreign actors are playing an irreplaceable role in the United StatesD.a successful career in Europe or Latin America doesn’t guarantee success in the USAKeys:56-59BCCDSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them.There are four choices marked A,B,C and D.choose the one that fits best according to the Information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Despite an advertisement campaign suggesting wall-to-wall special effects,“Bridge of Terabithia”is grounded in reality far more than in fantasy.Adapting Katherine Paterson’s award-winning novel,the screenwriters David Paterson and Jeff Stockwell have produced a thoughtful and extremely affecting story of a transformative friendship between two unusually gifted children.The result is a movie whose emotional depth could appeal more to adults than to their children.Jess Aarons(Josh Hutcherson)is a sixth grader with four sisters,financially tensed parents and a talent for drawing.An introverted(内向的)kid who is regularly picked on by the school buses,Jess forms a bond with a new student named Leslie(Anna Sophia Robb),a free spirit whose parents,both writers,are fondly neglectful.An attraction between outsiders,their friendship feeds on her words and his pictures;together they create an imaginary kingdom in the woods behind their homes,a world they can control and where their minds can wander free.Beautifully capturing a time when a bully in school can occur as large as a monster in a nightmare and the encouragement of a teacher can alter the course of a life,“Bridge to Terabithia”keeps the fantasy in the background to find magic in the everyday.Gabor Csupo directs this,his first feature,like someone close to the pain of being different,fascinated in tiny,perfect details.With strong performances from all the leads,“Bridge to Terabithia”is able to handle adult topics with sensitivity.As the emotional landscape darkens,those who haven’t read the book may be surprised at the sorrow the filmmakers cause without ever resorting to horror or terror.In other words,your children may cry,but they won’t be traumatized so badly.Consistently smart and delicate as a spider web,“Bridge to Terabithia”is the kind of children’s movie rarely seen nowadays.At a time when many public schools are being forced to cut music and art from the curriculum,the story’s insistence on the healing power of a cultivated imagination is both welcome and essential.56.The second paragraph indicates that Jess and Leslie________.A.lost their control over the imaginary kingdomB.looked down on their individual realitiesC.formed a good friendship despite their different talentsD.wrote a book about a magical land called Terabithia57.Which of the following words is most likely to replace“traumatized”(paragraph4)?A.criticizedB.ignoredC.delightedD.shocked58.The two children most likely________.A.skipped school to play in the woods behind their campusB.created an imaginary world as an escape from realityC.disappointed their parents with their over-active imaginationsD.won against the bullies at school with strong performances59.Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?A.The fantasy components of the movie were too over-done.B.The movie is motional but not much too dramatic.C.“Bridge to Terabithia”has a negative impact on public school education.D.Children shouldn’t watch the film as they are too young to understand the topics.Keys:56-59CDBBSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One recent night,while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal,my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked.“A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.”In other words,ideals---general descriptions of people’s expectations of themselves and others---can often lead us to unreasonable ideas.It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people.We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin,the year of their birth or any other related factors.I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America.The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes:Jewish people were“greedy,”Mexicans were“poorly educated,”and Asians were“good at math.”These labels were taught to us from a young age.They wormed their wayinto our belief systems,harming how we came to see others.It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true.The rush-to-judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination(歧视).You can also see these over-generalized description being made against today’s Chinese people.Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among millennials(千禧一代)being described as “monkish,”or“dad-fashion(复古作风)”which has given the“greasy middle-aged men”tag, stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society.But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.It’s about time that we,as a society,walked away from generalizations and stereotypes.I leave you with the words of Martin Luther King Jr.from his famous“I Have a Dream”speech:“I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin,but by the content of their character.”By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual,you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.56.According to the passage,how do people tend to judge others?A.By describing people’s personalities.B.By truly getting to know those around.C.By observing their noticeable features.D.By following Martin Luther King’s speech57.According to the author,a culture of discrimination appears because__________.A.people live in places of various racesB.people are born with unreasonable ideasC.prejudices slightly influence people’s belief systemD.people usually make judgments without thinking twice58.Examples of“millennials”and“dad-fashion”are mentioned in Paragraph3to reveal_______.A.generalizations have unfavourable position in societyB.generalizations have a negative influence on our societyC.generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-aged ChineseD.generalizations make today’s Chinese people lack interest or worry59.The passage is mainly concerned with________.A.the common prejudiceB.people’s expectation of themselvesC.the groundless worriesD.the famous speech of Martin Luther KingKeys:56-59CDBASection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)What to endure before publication?It takes a lot to write a novel.Even those who haven’t tried would say,“Well,duh!”to this. But it’s not much the mind space or the considerable time it takes to write a novel that is as discouraging as how many times any writer must go back to the drawing board for yet another draft.To really ready a novel for publication,a writer must spend time with his or her book.Like any promising relationship,you,the writer,must date your novel,take it out to dinner,meet its parents,and see it through its most trying and desperate times.As a writer,you have to stay up all night with your novel crying and talking and sometimes even pulling your hair out before that perfect moment of inspiration can truly help you cross the finish line.For many published authors I know,myself included,a completed novel takes them about10, that’s right,10drafts,and at least a year of real editing.Will you be spending every single second editing your novel?No,of course not.Just as drafts need some real time on the surgery table,they also need rest in the recovery room.You don’t nurse a relationship by spending every waking second them until you can’t stand the sight of each other,and you can’t produce a novel by breathing down its literary neck.However,a novel should undergo many drafts---and different kinds of drafts—before declaring it ready for an agent or editor to see.Everyone has their own way to write a novel,and not all craft advice(or even craft“rules”) should all be followed by everyone,but when it comes to the many drafts of a novel,there are specific things a writer should focus on during each revision to help create a smooth transition from the initial idea to final products.56.People are discouraged from writing a novel mainly because it requires_____.A.a good publisherB.too much thinkingC.tons of working timeD.frequent revisions57.What do writers do in the course of creating a novel?A.They spend every minute with the novel.B.They treat the novel as a lover.C.They go out with some readers for dinner.D.They hurt themselves to stay

importance of using proper transitional words in writing.B.The writing experience shared by famous successful write.C.Tips on how to make ten drafts to complete a good novel.Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The lives of the Ancient Greeks revolved(运转)around Eris,a concept by which they defined the universe.They believed that the world existed in a condition of opposites.If there was good, then there was evil；if there was love,then there was hatred;joy,then sorrow;war,then peace;and so on.The Greeks believed that good Eris occurred when one held a balanced outlook on life andcoped with problems as they arose.It was a kind of ease of living that came from trying to bring together the great opposing forces in nature.Bad Eris was evident in the violent conditions that ruled men’s lives.Although these things were found in nature and sometimes could not be controlled,it was believed that bad Eris occurred when one ignored a problem,letting it grow larger until it destroyed not only that person,but his family as well.The Ancient Greeks saw Eris as a goddess:Eris,the Goddess of Discord,better known as Trouble.One myth that expresses this concept of bad Eris deals with the marriage of King Peleus and the river goddess Thetis.Zeus,the supreme ruler,learns that Thetis would bear a child strong enough to destroy its father.Not wanting to father his own ruin,Zeus convinces Thetis to marry a human,a mortal(凡人)whose child could never challenge the gods.He promises her,among other things,the greatest wedding in all of Heaven and Earth and allows the couple to invite whomever they please.This is one of the first mixed marriages of Greek Mythology and the lesson learned from it still applies today.They do invite everyone...except Eris,the Goddess of Discord.In other words,instead of facing the problems brought on by a mixed marriage,they turn their backs on them.They refused to deal directly with their problems and the result is tragic.In her fury(狂怒),Eris arrives,ruins the wedding,causes a jealous argument between the three major goddesses over a golden apple,and sets in place the conditions that lead to the Trojan War.The war would take place20years in the future,but it would result in the death of the only child of the bride and groom,Achilles.Eris would destroy the parents’hopes for their future,leaving the couple with no legal heirs(继承人)to the throne.Hence,when we are told,“If you don’t invite trouble,trouble comes,”it means that if we don’t deal with our problems,our problems will deal with us...with a revenge!It is easy to see why the Greeks considered many of their myths learning myths,for this one teaches us the best way to defeat that which can destroy us.56.Bad Eris is defined in the passage as_______.A.the violent conditions of life.B.the problems man encounters.C.the evil goddess who has a golden apple.D.the murderer of generations.57.Zeus married Thetis off because_______.A.he needed to buy the loyalty of a great king of mankind.B.he feared the gods would create bad Eris by competing over her.C.he feared the Trojan War would be fought over her.D.he feared being a father of a boy who would kill him in the future.58.Zeus did not fear a child of King Peleus because_______.A.he knew that the child could not climb Mt.Olympus and manage to kill a god.B.he knew that the child would be killed in the Trojan War which would happen in20years.C.he knew that no matter how strong a mortal child was,he couldn’t overthrow an immortal god.D.he knew that Thetis would always love him above everyone else.59.What does the myth in the passage want to tell us?A.Do not consider a mixed marriage.B.Do not anger the gods.C.Do not ignore the problems that arise in life.D.Do not take myths seriously.Keys:56-59ADCCis followed by several questions ormarked A.B.C and D.Choose theyou have just read.Once again DC Comics and Warner Bros.have divided fans and critics over their latest superhero film.There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release,with a lot of reshoots of scenes,a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter and,of course,a lot of talk about Ben Affleck’s future in the role of Batman.Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment,that it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain.Others say that Warner Bros,have finally gotit right and that the future for the League looks bright.My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment:it was exciting,funny and a lot of fun to watch. There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.However,I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to make a great success.Although the film was good,it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed.I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done;there are the kinds of problems that you don’t expect to see in a film with such a big budget.Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun.But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer---here,not mentioning the name---is coming very close to doing:turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.In the end,Justice League is not a perfect film but it is definitely not a terrible one.A lot of work is still to be done but I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.56.Before the release of Justice League,many people showed their________.A.pity for the director,Zack SnyderB.concern about the film’s qualityC.higher expectation of the new directorD.support for the actor,Ben Affleck57.According to the author,what’s special about Justice League?A.It advocates social justice.B.It brings lots of fun to the audience.C.It has some brave heroes.D.It brings back childhood memories.58.In Paragraph5the author mainly wants to express his_________.A.views on the film’s weaknessB.advice to the film’s directorC.love for the filmD.expectation of the film’s sequels59.The author mentioned another film producer to________.A.stress the importance of fun in a filmB.show Justice League’s lack of a serious plotC.serve as a warning to the producer of Justice LeagueD.set an example for the producer of Justice LeagueKeys:56-59BDBCSection BDirections:Read the following passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I’m a student in my fourth year of a biomedical science degree at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen,but I also work38hours a week at Sainsbury’s to make ends meet.I do three night shifts a week,plus overtime if I can get it.Monday is the most occupied day for me--I work from 10pm until8am on Saturday and Sunday nights,earning just over£100a night,and then I have to be at my first lecture at9am on Monday.By the time I finish lectures,at2pm,I’m exhausted, but I know I have to be back at work by10pm.I constantly have to force myself to stay awake,and to be alert,whatever it takes.A packet of Skittles and a Red Bull usually helps.The work I do at Sainsbury’s is very physical like stacking shelves.I’m lucky because I’m an active person and the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weights I lift in the gym.I know I have the strength to bear it.I’m originally from Nigeria.I came here when I was seven,growing up in Croydon,south London.Money was tight.My parents gave me everything I needed,but there was no money to spend on luxuries.I worked hard at school though and,with the help of GT Scholars,I got some of the best A-level grades in my class.Unfortunately,though I had applied for“settled”British residential status when very young, the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application.That meant I wasn’t eligible for a student loan.The only way I could afford to go to university was that if I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents,who work in market research,paid for my tuition fees.In Scotland,that’s about£7,000a year.I don’t have much time to socialize because of my job.Ideally,I would also like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course.Yes,I have a lot on my plate,but working hardisn’t new to me.Growing up,my parents and my mentors in the church and at GT Scholars cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.My dream is to do an MA in physiotherapy next year and then get a job working for the NHS. But right now,I’m just focused on trying to get the best grades I can.Whenever I find life hard,I tell myself this is about my future.I don’t need much,but I would like to worry less about money and have more free time.That is what I look forward to the most.56.Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every week?A.To help his parents pay off the debts.B.To pay for his tuition fees.C.To prove his ability to earn money.D.To pay for his own living expenses.57.The underlined word“eligible”in the passage can be replaced by________.A.responsibleB.qualifiedC.feasibleD.anxious58.According to the passage,which of the following words can NOT be used to describe the author?A.Sociable.B.Diligent.C.Ambitious.D.Persistent.59.Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the passage?A.A penny saved is a penny earned.B.Actions speak louder than words.is life,there is hope.Section BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）I boarded a small plane together with my sister and42other passengers.While flying over the mountains,the plane encountered violent airflow.Losing control suddenly,it hit an unknown mountain peak.The impact of the crash claimed the lives of a few passengers immediately,leaving many injured including my sister.Adding a slight chance of being found out,we waited in the open,as opposed to waiting in the plane,even though it was freezing cold.At night,we slept side by side to keep ourselves warm and melted snow into water.We knew our food couldn’t last us long,sticking to the hope that we would be rescued soon.We knew from radio that the outside world was trying to look for the missing aircraft. However,the aircraft was white and blended in with the snow,making it impossible to be seen from the ter,our hope was dead when we found out via our radio that the rescue effort ended.Now climbing over the mountains ourselves to search for help seemed to be our only chance of survival.Although the crash site was an awful place,with urine（尿）everywhere and smelling of death,I still wished to stay there.But my sister would give in to her injuries soon if we were not rescued.Thus,together with two other people,Canessa and Vizintin,I decided to walk through the icy wilderness for help.Carrying some food and water,the three climbers started our journey. If we had known anything about climbing,we would have realized that we were already finished. The mountain we were about to challenge was one with slopes so steep that it would scare away a team of expert climbers.Our ignorance provided our only chance.We endured exhaustion and starvation and we had reached the top.To our horror,we found nothing.Disappointed,we were about to give up hope when I spotted a valley at the base of the mountain and again we started making our way down the mountain.Eventually,at the bottom of the mountain we were helped by a local farmer who called the police for help.I then guided the rescue team via a helicopter to the crash site.Finally,after we had endured nineteen cruel days,the world found out that there were16survivors who had cheated death despite the odds.56.Why did they stay outside the plane?A.Because they didn’t want to stay with dead people inside.B.Because it’s easier to obtain melted snow for water.C.Because they hoped to be seen by the rescue people.D.Because other passengers were against staying inside.57.Why did the author leave the crash site despite his wish to stay?A.Because he could get help from two experienced climbers.B.Because his sister might die without timely medical help.C.Because the crash site was too terrible for him to stay in.D.Because he would like to be tested by the steep mountain slopes.58.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Rescue people didn’t notice the aircraft because of its color at the beginning.B.The public knew where the plane crashed from the radio.C.The author gave up the climb halfway due to disappointment.D.More than half of the plane passengers were finally rescued.59.The underlined sentence had cheated death despite the odds is closest in meaning to ________.A.had told lies about death in spite of realityB.had avoided death in spite of huge difficultiesC.had treated death with positive attitudeD.had almost died in spite of strange expectationDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Flu is killing us.The usual response to the annual flu is not enough to fight against the risks we currently face,let alone prepare us for an even deadlier widespread flu that most experts agree will come in the future.Yes,we have an annual vaccine(疫苗),and everyone qualified should get it without question.The reality,however,is that less than half Americans get the flu vaccines.Andthe flu vaccines we have are only60%effective in the best years and10%effective in the worst years.We urgently need a much more effective flu vaccine.In the U.S.alone,seasonal flu can cause up to36million infections,three-quarters of a million hospitalizations and56,000deaths.We are not investing the resources needed to protect ourselves,our loved ones and our communities.Why not?We haven’t been hit by a truly destructive widespread disease in a long time.So as individuals,we let down our guard as our leaders quietly defund and destaff the services we need to protect us.The risk of continued foot dragging is huge.In a severe widespread disease,the U.S.health care system could be defeated in just lions of people would be infected by the virus, and would die in the weeks and months following the initial outbreak.The cost of preventing epidemics(流行病)is roughly a tenth of what it costs to cope with them when they hit.In2012,a call was issued for an annual billion-dollar mitment to the development of a universal flu vaccine.Six years later,the search for a universal vaccine remains seriously underfunded.The simple reason lies in our collective satisfaction.As soon as headlines about the flu are gone,hospitals are emptied of flu patients,and school and workplace absence rates decline,we go back to business as usual.Leading scientists and public health officials have the capability to keep us much safer from flu.They need your quick and decisive support to succeed.Your action today may be a matter of life and death for you and your loved ones.56.The problem of the current flu vaccines is that_____.A.they are not available every yearB.most Americans are not allowed to get themC.not everyone is qualified for themD.many people still catch flu after getting them57.What does the author mean by“continued foot dragging”in Paragraph4?A.Hospitals cannot meet the needs of patients during flu outbreaks.B.The leaders continue to drag the feet of the patients infected with flu.C.Individuals aren’t alert enough to the underinvestment in flu prevention.D.Flu will certainly become a severe widespread disease in the near future.58.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Science is currently not so developed as to keep us safer from flu.。

Section BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There aren’t many actors around the world who have enough selfconfidence to turn down an offer from Steven Spielberg.Maybe thatwas why Juliette Binoche gave him a choice.She said she’d be happyto be in Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur.Of coursehe turned her down and it was probably a good thing.It’s difficult toimagine Juliette ripping people apart with her teeth.However,herdecision doesn’t seem to have done her career any harm.She hasgone on to make a string of hits,including The Unbearable Lightness of Being ,The English Patient (for which she won an Oscar)and Chocolat.Success in the United States has not been so easy for otherforeign stars.Gerald Depardieu is a good example.Since his firstfilm in 1967,his filmography (影片集锦)lists 172acting credits.But he has struggled on the other side of the pond.While some ofhis films have been popular in the US,they have usually beenFrench films that travelled.One possible exception was Green Card ,directed by Peter Weir,where he plays a French immigrant who goes through a fake wedding in order to stay and work in the United States.This is a predictable but sweet romantic comedy which typecasts (分配同一类型角色)its lead actors in terms of national stereotypes.While some reviewers were kind,others shredded both the film and Depardieu’s performance.While Monsieur Depardieu hasn’t received the recognition he would have liked in the United States,one Mexican actor has achieved almost instant success.Gael Garcia Bernal first gained recognition in Amores Perros in 2000and a year later in Y tu mama tambien .Since then he has appeared with hometown hero,Brad Pitt in Babel and,under the direction of top producer and director,Jim Jarmusch,he starred in Limits of Control .Hehasn’t pickedup an Oscar yet,but he备战20202019 年上海高三英语一模考试 阅读理解题汇编was nominated for a BAFTA(英国电影电视艺术学院奖)in2005for his performance as the South American hero revolutionary Che Guevara,in Motorcycle Diaries.In the same year he played American music icon Elvis Presley in The King.56.It can be inferred from the passage that Juliette Binoche______.A.very much wanted to be in Jurassic ParkB.didn’t want to be in Jurassic ParkC.really wanted to play a dinosaur in Jurassic ParkD.was hesitant whether she could play a dinosaur well57.According to the writer,Gerald Depardieu’s most popular films______.A.have been made in HollywoodB.have only been seen in EuropeC.have been made in France,but seen in other countries,tooD.have been made in Hollywood,but well received in France58.The last sentence in Para2“o thers shredded both the film and Depardieu’s performance”means others thought Depardieu’s performance and the film

able to earn more money than foreign actorsC.Foreign actors are playing an irreplaceable role in the United StatesD.a successful career in Europe or Latin America doesn’t guarantee success in the USAKeys:56-59BCCDSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them.There are four choices marked A,B,C and D.choose the one that fits best according to the Information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Despite an advertisement campaign suggesting wall-to-wall special effects,“Bridge of Terabithia”is grounded in reality far more than in fantasy.Adapting Katherine Paterson’s award-winning novel,the screenwriters David Paterson and Jeff Stockwell have produced a thoughtful and extremely affecting story of a transformative friendship between two unusually gifted children.The result is a movie whose emotional depth could appeal more to adults than to their children.Jess Aarons(Josh Hutcherson)is a sixth grader with four sisters,financially tensed parents and a talent for drawing.An introverted(内向的)kid who is regularly picked on by the school buses,Jess forms a bond with a new student named Leslie(Anna Sophia Robb),a free spirit whose parents,both writers,are fondly neglectful.An attraction between outsiders,their friendship feeds on her words and his pictures;together they create an imaginary kingdom in the woods behind their homes,a world they can control and where their minds can wander free.Beautifully capturing a time when a bully in school can occur as large as a monster in a nightmare and the encouragement of a teacher can alter the course of a life,“Bridge to Terabithia”keeps the fantasy in the background to find magic in the everyday.Gabor Csupo directs this,his first feature,like someone close to the pain of being different,fascinated in tiny,perfect details.With strong performances from all the leads,“Bridge to Terabithia”is able to handle adult topics with sensitivity.As the emotional landscape darkens,those who haven’t read the book may be surprised at the sorrow the filmmakers cause without ever resorting to horror or terror.In other words,your children may cry,but they won’t be traumatized so badly.Consistently smart and delicate as a spider web,“Bridge to Terabithia”is the kind of children’s movie rarely seen nowadays.At a time when many public schools are being forced to cut music and art from the curriculum,the story’s insistence on the healing power of a cultivated imagination is both welcome and essential.56.The second paragraph indicates that Jess and Leslie________.A.lost their control over the imaginary kingdomB.looked down on their individual realitiesC.formed a good friendship despite their different talentsD.wrote a book about a magical land called Terabithia57.Which of the following words is most likely to replace“traumatized”(paragraph4)?A.criticizedB.ignoredC.delightedD.shocked58.The two children most likely________.A.skipped school to play in the woods behind their campusB.created an imaginary world as an escape from realityC.disappointed their parents with their over-active imaginationsD.won against the bullies at school with strong performances59.Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?A.The fantasy components of the movie were too over-done.B.The movie is motional but not much too dramatic.C.“Bridge to Terabithia”has a negative impact on public school education.D.Children shouldn’t watch the film as they are too young to understand the topics.Keys:56-59CDBBSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One recent night,while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal,my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked.“A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.”In other words,ideals---general descriptions of people’s expectations of themselves and others---can often lead us to unreasonable ideas.It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people.We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin,the year of their birth or any other related factors.I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America.The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes:Jewish people were“greedy,”Mexicans were“poorly educated,”and Asians were“good at math.”These labels were taught to us from a young age.They wormed their wayinto our belief systems,harming how we came to see others.It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true.The rush-to-judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination(歧视).You can also see these over-generalized description being made against today’s Chinese people.Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among millennials(千禧一代)being described as “monkish,”or“dad-fashion(复古作风)”which has given the“greasy middle-aged men”tag, stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society.But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.It’s about time that we,as a society,walked away from generalizations and stereotypes.I leave you with the words of Martin Luther King Jr.from his famous“I Have a Dream”speech:“I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin,but by the content of their character.”By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual,you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.56.According to the passage,how do people tend to judge others?A.By describing people’s personalities.B.By truly getting to know those around.C.By observing their noticeable features.D.By following Martin Luther King’s speech57.According to the author,a culture of discrimination appears because__________.A.people live in places of various racesB.people are born with unreasonable ideasC.prejudices slightly influence people’s belief systemD.people usually make judgments without thinking twice58.Examples of“millennials”and“dad-fashion”are mentioned in Paragraph3to reveal_______.A.generalizations have unfavourable position in societyB.generalizations have a negative influence on our societyC.generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-aged ChineseD.generalizations make today’s Chinese people lack interest or worry59.The passage is mainly concerned with________.A.the common prejudiceB.people’s expectation of themselvesC.the groundless worriesD.the famous speech of Martin Luther KingKeys:56-59CDBASection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is

have read.(A)What to endure before publication?It takes a lot to write a novel.Even those who haven’t tried would say,“Well,duh!”to this. But it’s not much the mind space or the considerable time it takes to write a novel that is as discouraging as how many times any writer must go back to the drawing board for yet another draft.To really ready a novel for publication,a writer must spend time with his or her book.Like any promising relationship,you,the writer,must date your novel,take it out to dinner,meet its parents,and see it through its most trying and desperate times.As a writer,you have to stay up all night with your novel crying and talking and sometimes even pulling your hair out before that perfect moment of inspiration can truly help you cross the finish line.For many published authors I know,myself included,a completed novel takes them about10, that’s right,10drafts,and at least a year of real editing.Will you be spending every single second editing your novel?No,of course not.Just as drafts need some real time on the surgery table,they also need rest in the recovery room.You don’t nurse a relationship by spending every waking second them until you can’t stand the sight of each other,and you can’t produce a novel by breathing down its literary neck.However,a novel should undergo many drafts---and different kinds of drafts—before declaring it ready for an agent or editor to see.Everyone has their own way to write a novel,and not all craft advice(or even craft“rules”) should all be followed by everyone,but when it comes to the many drafts of a novel,there are specific things a writer should focus on during each revision to help create a smooth transition from the initial idea to

superhero film.There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release,with a lot of reshoots of scenes,a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter and,of course,a lot of talk about Ben Affleck’s future in the role of Batman.Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment,that it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain.Others say that Warner Bros,have finally gotit right and that the future for the League looks bright.My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment:it was exciting,funny and a lot of fun to watch. There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.However,I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to make a great success.Although the film was good,it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed.I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done;there are the kinds of problems that you don’t expect to see in a film with such a big budget.Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun.But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer---here,not mentioning the name---is coming very close to doing:turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.In the end,Justice League is not a perfect film but it is definitely not a terrible one.A lot of work is still to be done but I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.56.Before the release of Justice League,many people showed their________.A.pity for the director,Zack SnyderB.concern about the film’s qualityC.higher expectation of the new directorD.support for the actor,Ben Affleck57.According to the author,what’s special about Justice League?A.It advocates social justice.B.It brings lots of fun to the audience.C.It has some brave heroes.D.It brings back childhood memories.58.In Paragraph5the author mainly wants to express his_________.A.views on the film’s weaknessB.advice to the film’s directorC.love for the filmD.expectation of the film’s sequels59.The author mentioned another film producer to________.A.stress the importance of fun in a filmB.show Justice League’s lack of a serious plotC.serve as a warning to the producer of Justice LeagueD.set an example for the producer of Justice LeagueKeys:56-59BDBCSection BDirections:Read the following passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I’m a student in my fourth year of a biomedical science degree at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen,but I also work38hours a week at Sainsbury’s to make ends meet.I do three night shifts a week,plus overtime if I can get it.Monday is the most occupied day for me--I work from 10pm until8am on Saturday and Sunday nights,earning just over£100a night,and then I have to be at my first lecture at9am on Monday.By the time I finish lectures,at2pm,I’m exhausted, but I know I have to be back at work by10pm.I constantly have to force myself to stay awake,and to be alert,whatever it takes.A packet of Skittles and a Red Bull usually helps.The work I do at Sainsbury’s is very physical like stacking shelves.I’m lucky because I’m an active person and the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weights I lift in the gym.I know I have the strength to bear it.I’m originally from Nigeria.I came here when I was seven,growing up in Croydon,south London.Money was tight.My parents gave me everything I needed,but there was no money to spend on luxuries.I worked hard at school though and,with the help of GT Scholars,I got some of the best A-level grades in my class.Unfortunately,though I had applied for“settled”British residential status when very young, the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application.That meant I wasn’t eligible for a student loan.The only way I could afford to go to university was that if I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents,who work in market research,paid for my tuition fees.In Scotland,that’s about£7,000a year.I don’t have much time to socialize because of my job.Ideally,I would also like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course.Yes,I have a lot on my plate,but working hardisn’t new to me.Growing up,my parents and my mentors in the church and at GT Scholars cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.My dream is to do an MA in physiotherapy next year and then get a job working for the NHS. But right now,I’m just focused on trying to get the best grades I can.Whenever I find life hard,I tell myself this is about my future.I don’t need much,but I would like to worry less about money and have more free time.That is what I look forward to the most.56.Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every week?A.To help his parents pay off the debts.B.To pay for his tuition fees.C.To prove his ability to earn money.D.To pay for his own living expenses.57.The underlined word“eligible”in the passage can be replaced by________.A.responsibleB.qualifiedC.feasibleD.anxious58.According to the passage,which of the following words can NOT be used to describe the author?A.Sociable.B.Diligent.C.Ambitious.D.Persistent.59.Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the passage?A.A penny saved is a penny earned.B.Actions speak louder than words.is life,there is hope.Section BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）I boarded a small plane together with my sister and42other passengers.While flying over the mountains,the plane encountered violent airflow.Losing control suddenly,it hit an unknown mountain peak.The impact of the crash claimed the lives of a few passengers immediately,leaving many injured including my sister.Adding a slight chance of being found out,we waited in the open,as opposed to waiting in the plane,even though it was freezing cold.At night,we slept side by side to keep ourselves warm and melted snow into water.We knew our food couldn’t last us long,sticking to the hope that we would be rescued soon.We knew from radio that the outside world was trying to look for the missing aircraft. However,the aircraft was white and blended in with the snow,making it impossible to be seen from the ter,our hope was dead when we found out via our radio that the rescue effort ended.Now climbing over the mountains ourselves to search for help seemed to be our only chance of survival.Although the crash site was an awful place,with urine（尿）everywhere and smelling of death,I still wished to stay there.But my sister would give in to her injuries soon if we were not rescued.Thus,together with two other people,Canessa and Vizintin,I decided to walk through the icy wilderness for help.Carrying some food and water,the three climbers started our journey. If we had known anything about climbing,we would have realized that we were already finished. The mountain we were about to challenge was one with slopes so steep that it would scare away a team of expert climbers.Our ignorance provided our only chance.We endured exhaustion and starvation and we had reached the top.To our horror,we found nothing.Disappointed,we were about to give up hope when I spotted a valley at the base of the mountain and again we started making our way down the mountain.Eventually,at the bottom of the mountain we were helped by a local farmer who called the police for help.I then guided the rescue team via a helicopter to the crash site.Finally,after we had endured nineteen cruel days,the world found out that there were16survivors who had cheated death despite the odds.56.Why did they stay outside the plane?A.Because they didn’t want to stay with dead people inside.B.Because it’s easier to obtain melted snow for water.C.Because they hoped to be seen by the rescue people.D.Because other passengers were against staying inside.57.Why did the author leave the crash site despite his wish to stay?A.Because he could get help from two experienced climbers.B.Because his sister might die without timely medical help.C.Because the crash site was too terrible for him to stay in.D.Because he would like to be tested by the steep mountain slopes.58.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Rescue people didn’t notice the aircraft because of its color at the beginning.B.The public knew where the plane crashed from the radio.C.The author gave up the climb halfway due to disappointment.D.More than half of the plane passengers were finally rescued.59.The underlined sentence had cheated death despite the odds is closest in meaning to ________.A.had told lies about death in spite of realityB.had avoided death in spite of huge difficultiesC.had treated death with positive attitudeD.had almost died in spite of strange expectationDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Flu is killing us.The usual response to the annual flu is not enough to fight against the risks we currently face,let alone prepare us for an even deadlier widespread flu that most experts agree will come in the future.Yes,we have an annual vaccine(疫苗),and everyone qualified should get it without question.The reality,however,is that less than half Americans get the flu vaccines.Andthe flu vaccines we have are only60%effective in the best years and10%effective in the worst years.We urgently need a much more effective flu vaccine.In the U.S.alone,seasonal flu can cause up to36million infections,three-quarters of a million hospitalizations and56,000deaths.We are not investing the resources needed to protect ourselves,our loved ones and our communities.Why not?We haven’t been hit by a truly destructive widespread disease in a long time.So as individuals,we let down our guard as our leaders quietly defund and destaff the services we need to protect us.The risk of continued foot dragging is huge.In a severe widespread disease,the U.S.health care system could be defeated in just lions of people would be infected by the virus, and would die in the weeks and months following the initial outbreak.The cost of preventing epidemics(流行病)is roughly a tenth of what it costs to cope with them when they hit.In2012,a call was issued for an annual billion-dollar mitment to the development of a universal flu vaccine.Six years later,the search for a universal vaccine remains seriously underfunded.The simple reason lies in our collective satisfaction.As soon as headlines about the flu are gone,hospitals are emptied of flu patients,and school and workplace absence rates decline,we go back to business as usual.Leading scientists and public health officials have the capability to keep us much safer from flu.They need your quick and decisive support to succeed.Your action today may be a matter of life and death for you and your loved ones.56.The problem of the current flu vaccines is that_____.A.they are not available every yearB.most Americans are not allowed to get themC.not everyone is qualified for themD.many people still catch flu after getting them57.What does the author mean by“continued foot dragging”in Paragraph4?A.Hospitals cannot meet the needs of patients during flu outbreaks.B.The leaders continue to drag the feet of the patients infected with flu.C.Individuals aren’t alert enough to the underinvestment in flu prevention.D.Flu will certainly become a severe widespread disease in the near future.58.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Science is currently not so developed as to keep us safer from flu.。

状元考前提醒拿到试卷：熟悉试卷刚拿到试卷一般心情比较紧张，建议拿到卷子以后看看考卷一共几页，有多少道题，了解试卷结构，通览全卷是克服“前面难题做不出，后面易题没时间做”的有效措施，也从根本上防止了“漏做题”。

答题策略答题策略一共有三点： 1. 先易后难、先熟后生。

先做简单的、熟悉的题，再做综合题、难题。

2. 先小后大。

先做容易拿分的小题，再做耗时又复杂的大题。

3. 先局部后整体。

把疑难问题划分成一系列的步骤，一步一步的解决，每解决一步就能得到一步的分数。

中下题目通常占全卷的80%以上，是试题的主要构成，学生能拿下这些题目，实际上就是有了胜利在握的心理，对攻克高档题会更放得开。

确保运算正确，立足一次性成功在答卷时，要在以快为上的前提下，稳扎稳打，步步准确，尽量一次性成功。

不能为追求速度而丢掉准确度，甚至丢掉重要的得分步骤。

试题做完后要认真做好解后检查，看是否有空题，答卷是否准确，格式是否规范。

要学会“挤”分考试试题大多分步给分，所以理科要把主要方程式和计算结果写在显要位置，文科尽量把要点写清晰，作文尤其要注意开头和结尾。

考试时，每一道题都认真思考，能做几步就做几步，对于考生来说就是能做几分是几分，这是考试中最好的策略。

检查后的涂改方式要讲究发现错误后要划掉重新写，忌原地用涂黑的方式改，这会使阅卷老师看不清。

如果对现有的题解不满意想重新写，要先写出正确的，再划去错误的。

有的同学先把原来写的题解涂抹了，写新题解的时间又不够，本来可能得的分数被自己涂掉了。

In a world where__31__ is given for people’s accomplishments, failing feels dangerous.

Think about it--- a computer game you can always win is boring; one you can win __36__, and with considerable effort,is fun. In pursuit of success, failure exposes areas that you need to __37__. So the failure serves as a brickwall to test how you apply yourself to __38__ your objectives and how much you want them.There is a way to distinguish whether a failure __39__ you to double down or walk away, says Halvorson. If, when things get rough, you remain fascinated by your goal, you should keep going.
