【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“studying topics, such as cultural respect and social responsibility, which will help them become worthy citizens（理解相关话题，比如说尊敬文化和社会责任，能帮助他们成为有价值的市民）”可知，“social responsibility（社会责任）”里可以指充当志愿者，故选含volunteering的图标，所以选择A。
Tod has what is called “savant syndrome'' — a condition in which a mentally challenged person has a tightly developed talent of a specific kind. Savant syndrome is a mystery to medical researchers. One person who is studying savant syndrome is Dr. David Brighton. He says that he has never seen a musical savant like Tod. Most musical savants are limited to simply repeating tunes they hear. Dr. Brighton points out that Tod's ability to come up with his own tunes is a giant step beyond memorization.

As he grew older,he realized his mistake,and eventually apologized and laid his burden down.24.How did Sam feel about Sophie at first?A.He had a hatred of herB.He was afraid of her.C.He took no notice of her.D.He envied her cleverness.25.What made Sophie cry on her birthday in the author’s family’s opinion?A.Her being startled by Sam.B.Her hitting on the seat.C.Her having a fight with Sam.D.Her falling down from the chair.26.What was Sam’s secret about?A.He was responsible for Sophie’s cry.B.He laughed at Sophie’s stupidity.C.He took up Sophie’s position.D.He broke Sophie’s chair.27.Which words can best describe Sam after he shared his secret?A.Upset and painful.B.Quiet and peaceful.C.Gentle and regretful.D.Ashamed and relaxed.CThe word hobby has an interesting history,and so does the concept of the hobby itself. Cultural attitudes have changed greatly about which ones are worth pursuing,and indeed whether having a hobby is desirable at all.It is probably safe to say that when hobby was first used in the15th century,most people didn’t have one,as it referred to a particular kind of horse.A hobby was a small horse that could“amble”(漫步），a particularly smooth,quick gait（步态）that was prized for long rides over terrible roads.According to the Oxford English Dictionary,the word is a shortened form of Hobbin,the name for a cart-horse,like Rover for a dog.The hobby also had a part in medieval folk celebrations.Mummers and Morris dancers often included a person or two dressed up in horse costume,or pretending to ride a wooden stick with a horse’s head.Such hobbyhorses made popular children’s toys,too.Since hobbyhorses were the toys of young children and mime actors,“riding one’s hobby-horse”or being“on one’s hobby”became an idiom for wildly pursuing an idea or activity that looks silly to others.Hobbies were considered slightly embarrassing,though mostly harmless,through the 18th century.In the19th century,they grew more socially acceptable as middle-class leisure time increased.It became de rigueur for both men and women to pursue activities that would have seemed strange or shallow a century before.In the early20th century,according to historian Steven Gelber,hobbies“got rid of the old stigma of eccentricity(古怪的旧污名）”and came to be seen as a way to fill life with meaning and dignity.With a hobby,people could choose their own goals and progress toward them.28.What determines whether having a hobby is desirable?A.HistoryB.ConceptC.Cultural attitudesD.pursuits29.What can we learn from the word hobby?A.Hobby was referred to a horse in19th century.B.“Riding one’s hobby-horse”is a positive expression to describe a person’s enthusiasmabout his pursuit.C.Hobbies were totally socially acceptable in the18th century.D.Hobbies became desirable in the early20th century.30.What does the underlined part mean in paragraph4?A.NecessaryB.unsuitableC.illegalD.changeable31.Which is the best title of the passage?A.A new concept of the word“hobby”B.An evolution of the meaning of the word“hobby”C.A trend of narrowing the meaning of the word“hobby”D.A new way of the application of the word“hobby”DIn the past,video conference technology was mainly used for just a few elements of business meetings or hangouts with friends and family.Now,video conference tools are essential for our productivity,learning and social interaction.We use them not only for fun,but mainly as a meaningful part of our work.However,once we start to join endless video calls for a few hours each day,we become very tired.This term is called“zoom fatigue”,and it’s related to overusing virtual communication platforms.There are some advantages of using video conferencing tools.Without them,it might be impossible for us to work from home.But what we haven’t expected is a price that we need to pay for that sort of convenience.When we are having a face-to-face conversation with others,everything seems pretty natural. While speaking,you look into the eyes,sometimes slightly moving your stare onto something else. You know when to stop talking and when to speak up.Even if you’re in a conference room with10 people,you don’t have a terrible feeling of being observed all the time.You notice that people mostly look at the person who is speaking,and then they move their attention onto someone else. But when you use a teleconferencing tool,things are different.Being physically on camera makes you very aware of being watched all the time,because you don’t know who is looking at you.You just see many faces on your screen.Marissa Shuffler from Clemson University once said,“When you’re on a video conference, you know everybody’s looking at you;you are on stage,so there comes the social pressure—a feeling like you need to perform.Being performative is stressful.”Moreover,there is another interesting tendency as far as video calls are concerned.Who are you looking at most of the time?The answer is yourself.For most people,it’s hard not to look at their own face if they can see it on the screen.We are likely to make sure that our head is at the right angle and that our shirt isn’t creased.高三大联考·英语第5页（共8页）高三大联考·英语第6页（共8页）32.What is the so-called “zoom fatigue”?A.The fast pace of our modern life.B.Boredom caused by too many video calls.C.The wide spread of video technologyD.Burnout associated with overusing online platforms33.What can video calls bring us when compared with face-to-face conversations?A.Higher cost.B.More stress.C.More free time.D.Better performance.34.Why do we look at ourselves most of the time on the screen?A.To be well-behaved. B.To get some comfort.C.To grow self-confidence. D.To attract others’attention.35.What is the text mainly about?A.The popularity of video calls.B.People’s attitude towards video calls.C.Some unforeseen effects of video calls.D.Changes in people’s way of communication 。

The facilities of the workshop.BStanding in my office 25 years ago was an unknown, newly rising astronomer with a half-smile on her face. She had come with a demand that my team change our tested software tomake one of our most important and in-demand scientific instruments do something it had never been designed for, and risk breaking it down. All to carry out an experiment that was basically a waste of time and couldn't be done-to prove that a massive black hole hid at the center of our Milky Way.My initial "no way" gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but firm determination. It was my first encounter with a force of nature, Andrea Ghez,one of three winners of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. That determination and the willingness to take calculated risks has always characterized Andrea. For 25 years she has focused almost only on Sagittarius A-the name of our own local super massive black hole. And Andrea is one of the great pioneers in this search without question.Andrea did her work at the W. M. Keck Observatory's twin telescopes on Maunakea, Hawai'i. She started using the very first instrument licensed on Keck Observatory's Near Infrared Camera（NIRC). NIRC was never designed to do what Andrea needed but she was not to be denied. And it worked! It was extremely hard and time-consuming to make sense of the data, but Andrea persisted.As Andrea would be the very first to acknowledge,this triumph(胜利）represents the combined efforts of so many. But actually one person had the idea for the research. One person had the chutzpah(无所顾忌）to propose it and one person had the determination and focus to make it happen, undiscouraged by all who said it was a waste of time. That person is Andrea Ghez, winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics.4. What did the author think of Andrea Ghez's request at first ?A. It's demanding.B. It's interesting.C. It's unacceptable.D. It's meaningless.5. What do we know about Andrea Ghez's research from Paragraph 2?A. It takes decades of efforts.B. It deals with power of nature.C. It's a purely individual project.D. It's about measurement of a hole.6. Which of the following best describes Andrea Ghez's work in Hawai'i ?A. Dangerous.B. Pleasant.C. Challenging.D. Fruitless.7. What can we learn from Andrea Ghez's success?A. It is rewarding to cooperate.B. The old methods still work today.C. It pays to put theory into practice.D. Persistence leads to success.CLa Belle Personne is boring,but I love it. The 2008 French film features extremely softened and washed-out colors, a relatively uneventful plotline, and lifeless performances from the main characters, all of which give the film its unique charm.The plain beauty of La Belle Personne comes not from its extremely unique plot,but rather its literary elements. Of course,the film is visually pretty lacking in liveliness. An editor must have purposely and smartly dealt with every single shot. The dominating colors in each of these shots are a vivid black, grey and white, making for a melancholic(忧郁的）atmosphere. While one could easily view this lack of vividness as exhausting,I would argue that it makes for a beautifully unconventional cinematic experience.There are no artificial mental spark stimulated by the visuals, and the viewers must therefore sit with themselves for an hour and a half, reflecting on what the piece personally means to them and how it genuinely makes them feel. Aside from a few major plot points,nothing terribly remarkable happens in La Belle Personne. It's more like a lazy river under grey skies where the water is slightly too cold. But if you relax,your body temperature adjusts and you can sit back and just enjoy the ride.Although our current world may be both literally and symbolically on fire, it's no secret that campus life in and of itself is considerably more boring than usual. With no parties to attend,most classes online,and the majority of clubs limited to Zoom Meetings, waking up every day might feel a bit more tedious. However, just like La Belle Personne has shown us, it's important to appreciate your environment for what it is. In terms of campus life,sometimes it's not so horrible for things to be slow-paced, as it allows space for reflection and being present.8. What do we know about La Belle Personne from the first paragraph?A. It enjoys high popularity.B. It owns special artistic charm.C. It applies modern techniques.D. It features lively performances.9. What can we infer from Paragraphs 2 and 3 about the film?A. All its viewers feel positive on it.B. It gives viewers a sense of ridiculousness.C. It suits those preferring sensory stimulation.D. It is worth tasting slowly and heart-wholly.10. What does underlined word “tedious" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Boring.B. Painstaking.C. Impractical.D. Unnecessary.11. What is the purpose of this text?A. To show the importance of going to the movies.B. To recommend people to enjoy an unique movie.C. To introduce a way to appreciate a certain movie.D. To call for a slow-paced and positive school life.DBoston wants to be smarter. The city has taken advantage of technologies to become more responsive to its residents' needs. But technology alone is not sufficient to make today's cities liveable. Boston has discovered that it also needs to reach the old-fashioned low-tech community and integrate that technology with city life.Kris Carter rolled out Boston's smart city program in 2014. It started with an App that residents could download to report locations where sidewalks needed repair. The city sorted out those reports and ranked them in a database, which repair crews used to prioritize their work.The system worked beautifully, except for one problem: most of the alerts(警报）came from wealthier neighborhoods, where the concentration of smartphone - equipped residents was highest. ＂The complaints from the App didn't always correlate with the greatest community need for repairs, " explains Carter.Carter's group has moved away from the model common to many smart city initiatives of letting tech-savvy(精通技术的）residents drive the process. Instead, they run meetings to find out what problems people in different neighborhoods care about solving. When it came to sidewalks,Boston introduced a second method of collecting repair tips, hiring people to get out and walk the city's 1,700 miles of sidewalks to take notes on their condition.Whether using low-tech or high-tech approaches, says Carter, to stay smart, a city needs to continually reassess its options to spot opportunities to improve residents' lives. Take the sidewalk repair program, walking on the streets was proved a useful, if inefficient way to prioritize repair needs. But last year the group found that walkers' mobile phones could be tracked as they moved along the streets, and that data could be analyzed to identify sidewalk routes which are most often used by neighborhoods.“Combined with our other sidewalk informatio n, that gave us an even better way to predictwhere faster repairs would do the most good," says Carter,"We're really always looking for whatever mix of approaches best solves the problem."12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The citizens' life.B. The city's reputation.C. The city's management.D. The benefits of technology.13. What problem did Kris Carter's team meet when carrying out their program?A. They faced many technical obstacles.B. They couldn't serve all residents well.C.They were not supported by residents.D. They were annoyed by being short-staffed.14. Which of the following might Kris Carter most agree with?A. Maximizing the benefits of technology.B. Mixing approaches for solving problems.C. Giving full play to the power of residents.D. Letting tech companies be a leading role.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Smart City:More Than Just TechB. A City with Intelligent FacilitiesC.Joint-effort in City ConstructionD. The Modernization of a City第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。
