2020年天津市高考英语试卷（第二次）题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共20小题，共50.0分）AHow to Use a Modern Public LibraryHas it been a while since your last visit to a public library？If so，you may be surprised tolearn that libraries have changed for the better．Itˈs been years since they were dusty littlerooms with books．They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge，meet interesting people，or find out how to start a business．Check out a book．While libraries still loan out（出借）books，youˈll find it easier to get a copy of whatever youˈre looking for，thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries．Via such networks，libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles ．Once the book youˈve requested is delivered to the nearest branch，they will inform you by e﹣mail，so you can pick it up．Check out other items．The library is now a multimedia zone，loaded with information in many formats（载体形式）．You can borrow movies on DVDs，music on CDs，and popularmagazines．Some libraries even loan out toys and games．If a popular magazine you want isnˈtoffered and the library keeps a list of such requests，they may bring it in when enough interest is shown．Join targeted reading groups．Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted tovarious age groups．Perhaps youˈd like to learn a language or improve your English．Thelibrary may sponsor a language group you could join．If you have difficulties reading，ask about special reading opportunities．Your library might be able to accommodate you．And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book．Start a business using the help of your local library．If you want to have a business of your own，your local library can become a launch space for it．In library books and computers ，you can find information on starting a business．Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce（商会）and government agencies，and they will offer printing，faxing and database services you need．1.Public libraries connected by a cooperative network benefit readers by ．A. sharing their books on the InternetB. giving access to online reading at a library branchC. sending a needed book to a library branch nearbyD. making the checkout procedures diverse2.According to Paragraph 3，what items may be checked out from a public library？A. A magazine and an e-book．B. A game and an oil painting．C. A music CD and a kidˈs toy．D. A DVD and a video player．3.As is described in Paragraph 4，taking a small kid to a half-hour Story Timeallows ．A. the kid to learn a new languageB. the parent to enjoy quiet readingC. the kid to overcome reading difficultiesD. the parent to meet their program sponsor4.Your local library can help you start a business by ．A. providing relevant information and supporting servicesB. offering professional advice on business managementC. supplying useful information of your potential buyersD. arranging meetings with government officials5.What is the purpose of the passage？A.

To call for the modernization of public library systems．B"They tell me that youˈd like to make a statue（塑像）of me﹣is that correct，Miss Vinnie Ream？"The deep，gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl．Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter，especially for a seventeen-year-old girl．"Yes，sir，" she replied，her dark eyes meeting his．"I wouldnˈt have dared to ask you，but my teacher，Mr．Mills，says I am ready．I plan to make it in an admirable manner．"President Lincoln smiled．"Painters，sculptors—theyˈve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face，but Iˈm afraid thereˈs not much hope．What did you have in mind，Miss Ream ？A bust（半身像）？"Before Vinnie could say yes，the President hurried on，a shade of apology in his voice．"Of course—I shouldnˈt have asked．A full﹣length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size．"Vinnieˈs face turned red．She realized she looked like a child，with her tiny figure．"Small does not mean weak，sir，" she defended herself．"I was born in the country of Wisconsin．Iˈvedriven teams of horses and carried water．Making a full-length clay（粘土）figure would not exhaust my strength—and that is what I intend to do!"The Presidentˈs eyes，brightened at her show of spirit．"Sorry，madam，I have underestimated you as I didnˈt know your background．"But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers，in thought．"Miss Ream，" hesighed，"Iˈd like to let you do it，but as you know，we are in the middle of a war．How couldI possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now？I hardly have a minute to myself．"Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office．"I work quickly，" she said．Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows．"If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon，I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk．"The President seemed to consider her idea seriously．He got up and shook Vinnieˈs hand warmly，"Iˈve heard that you are a talented young woman，and I have found you charmingand intelligent as well．I cannot make my decision immediately，but you will hear from me soon．"The very next day，Vinnie received an invitation from the President．6.What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln？A. Her aggressive personality．B. Mr．Millsˈs encouraging remark．C. President Lincolnˈs gentle voice．D. Her interest in a challenging job．7.How did President Lincoln first respond to Vinnieˈs request？A. Pleased．B. Thrilled．C. Regretful．D. Doubtful．8.Vinnie confirmed her ability to make a full﹣length statue by highlighting____．A. her experience from other projectsB. her innocent childhood in the countryC. the heavy labor she had done beforeD. the skill she picked up in Wisconsin9.Vinnie wanted to choose the corner near the windows to____．A. achieve effects of natural lightingB. keep all her tools within easy reachC. observe the President at a right angleD. avoid disturbing the Presidentˈs work10.What message does the story convey？A. A strong-willed soul can reach his goal．B. Experience helps to promote excellence．C. Ups and downs make one strong．D. Devotion requires enthusiasm．CFor people，who are interested in sound，the field of sound technology is definitely making noise．In the past，sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios，but manyof todayˈs sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionalsin other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound．Sound can be used as a weapon．Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief．The thieftries to escape．And the officer canˈt let him get away．He pulls out a special device，pointsit at the suspect，and switches it on．The thief drops to the ground．This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device（LRAD，远程定向声波发射器）．It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person．The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person，but it is not deadly．For those who hunger for some peace and quiet，sound can now create silence．Letˈs sayyou are at the airport，and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming（哼唱）a short commercial song．He hums it over and over again，and you are about to go crazy．Thanks to the Silence Machine，a British invention，you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents．One may wonder how the Silence Machine works．Well，it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves．The two sets of waves cancel each other out．Simply turn the machine on point it at the target，and your peace and quiet comes back．Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights（聚光灯）are used in the theater．A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage；similarly，a "spotsound" creates a circle of sound in one targeted area．This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers．Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu，allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining．Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes．11.What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD？A. It causes temporary hearing loss．B. It slows down a running man．C. It makes it easy to identify a suspect．D. It keeps the suspect from hurting others．12.The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to____．A. silence the people around youB. remove the sound of commercialsC. block the incoming sound wavesD. stop unwanted sound from affecting you13.What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share？A. They travel in circles．B. They clear the atmosphere．C. They can be transformed into energy．D. They can be directed onto a specific area．14.Directed sound can be used for____．A. creative designs of restaurant menusB. ideal sound effects on the theater stageC. different choices of music for businessesD. strict control over any suspicious customer15.What does the passage focus on?A. How professionals invented sound products．B. Inventions in the field of sound technology．C. The growing interest in the study of sound．D. How sound engineers work in their studios．DAfter years of observing human nature，I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance，curiosity and discontent．I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either．And I have never known an average man who had both．The two belong together．Together，these deep human urges（驱策力）count for much more than ambition．Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground．Like Galileo，all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent，"Why？Why？Why？"Fortunately，curiosity and discontent donˈt have to be learned．We are born with them and need only recapture them．"The great man，" said Mencius（孟子），"is he who does not lose his childˈs heart．" Yetmost of us do lose it．We stop asking questions．We stop challenging custom．We just follow the crowd．And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average．It encourages us to occupy our own little corner，to avoid foolish leaps into the dark，to be satisfied．Most of us meet new people，and new ideas，with hesitation．But once having met and liked them，we think how terrible it would have been，had we missed the chance．We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake．How should you start？Modestly，so as not to become discouraged．I think of one friend who couldnˈt arrange flowers to satisfy herself．She was curious about how the experts did it．How she is one of the experts，writing books on flower arrangement．One way to begin is to answer your own excuses．You havenˈt any special ability？Most people donˈt；there are only a few geniuses．You havenˈt any time？Thatˈs good，because itˈsalways the people with no time who get things done．Harriet Stowe，mother of six，wrote parts of Uncle Tomˈs Cabin while cooking．Youˈre too old？Remember that Thomas Costainwas 57 when he published his first novel，and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78．However you start，remember there is no better time to start than right now，for youˈll neverbe more alive than you are at this moment．16.In writing Paragraph 1，the author aims to____．A. propose a definitionB. make a comparisonC. reach a conclusionD. present an argument17.What does the example of Galileo tell us？A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth．B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious．C. Creativity results from challenging authority．D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore．18.What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent？A. Observe the unknown around you．B. Develop a questioning mind．C. Lead a life of adventure．D. Follow the fashion．19.What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7？A. Gaining success helps you become an expert．B. The genius tends to get things done creatively．C. Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action．D. You should remain modest when approaching perfection．20.What could be the best title for the passage？A. Curious Minds Never Feel ContentedB. Reflections on Human NatureC. The Keys to AchievementD. Never Too Late to Learn二、单选题（本大题共15小题，共15.0分）21.Jim says we ______ stay in his house as long as we leave it clean and tidy．A. mustB. canC. needD. should22.—You are a great swimmer．—Thanks．Itˈs because I ______ a lot these days．A. have been practisingB. was practisingC. would practiseD. had practised23.—Next time you visit Bob，remember to give him a call in advance．—______．I will．A.

To tell readers places to go on vacation．BI was a freshman in college when I met the Whites．They were completely different from my own family，yet I felt at home with them immediately．Jane White and I became friends at school，and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin．In my family，it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened．"Who did this" my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen．"This is all your fault，Katharine，" my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke．From the time we were little，my sister，brothers and I told on each other．We set a place for blame at the dinner table．But the Whites didn't worry about who had done what．They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives．The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died．In July，the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York．The two older sisters，Sarah and Jane，were college students，and the youngest，Amy，had recently turned sixteen．Proud of having a new driver's license，Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip．She showed off her license to everyone she met．The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah's new car during the first part of the trip，but when they reached less crowded areas，they let Amy take over．Somewhere in South Carolina，we pulled off the highway to eat．After lunch，Amy got behind the wheel．She came to a crossroads with a stop sign．Whether she was nervous or just didn't see the sign no one would ever know，but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping．The driver of a large truck，unable to stop in time，ran into our car．Jane was killed immediately．I was slightly injured．The most difficult thing that I've ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died．Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend，I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child．When Mr．and Mrs．White arrived at the hospital，they found their two daughters sharing a room．Sarah had a few cuts on the head；Amy's leg was broken．They hugged us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters．They wiped away the girls' tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches（拐杖）．To both of their daughters，and especially to Amy，over and over they simply said，"We're so glad that you're alive．"I was astonished．No blame．No accusations．Later，I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign．Mrs．White said，"Jane's gone，and we miss her terribly．Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back．But Amy has her whole life ahead of her．How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister's death？"They were right．Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago．She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students．She's also a mother of two little girls of her own，the oldest named Jane．21.How did the author's parents differ from the Whites？______A. The author's parents were less caring．B. The author's parents were less loving．C. The author's parents were less friendly．D. The author's parents were less understanding．22.How did the accident occur？______A. Amy didn't stop at a crossroads and a truck hit their car．B. Amy didn't know what to do when she saw the stop sign．C. Amy didn't slow down so their car ran into a truck．D. Amy didn't get off the highway at a crossroads．23.The accident took place in ______ ．A. FloridaB. CaliforniaC. South CarolinaD. New York24.The Whites did not blame Amy for Jane's death because ______ ．A. they didn't want Amy to feel ashamed and sorry for the rest of her lifeB. Amy was badly injured herself and they didn't want to add to her painC. they didn't want to blame their children in front of othersD. Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her best25.From the passage we can learn that ______ ．A. Amy has never recovered from the shockB. Amy changed her job after the accidentC. Amy lost her memory after the accidentD. Amy has lived quite a normal lifeCScientists can figure out a movie's emotional tone from the gasps （喘气）of its audience．These gases could point the way to a subtle form of human communication，a new study suggests．"When you see a movie，you can hear the music and see the pictures．However，you don't realize there are chemical signals in the air．And they，too，could be affecting you，" says Williams，who led the study．As an atmospheric chemist，he studies the chemical makeup of the air around us．Williams started out measuring the air in a soccer stadium．He noticed that levels of carbondioxide and other gases changed wildly whenever the crowd cheered．That got him wondering---Could the gases people breathe out be influenced by emotions？To find out，he went to the movies．Williams and his coworkers measured air samples collected over six weeks in two movie theaters．Overall，9，500 movie goers watched 16 films．They included a mix of comedy，romance，action and horror films．Among them were The Hunter Games，Catching Fire，Carrie，and Walking with Dinosaurs．The researchers gave scenes from the movies such labels as "suspense"，"laughter"，and "crying"．Then they looked for hundreds of chemicals in the air that showed up as people were watching particular movie scenes．And certain scenes had distinct chemical "fingerprints"．Scenes that had people laughing or on the edge of their seats were especially distinctive．During screenings of The Hunger Games，levels of carbon dioxide and isoprene got to the highest at two suspenseful moments．Because isoprene is related to muscle movement，the researchers think tense movie moments likely led to its peak．Williams and his colleagues think the increase in carbon dioxide was due to the viewers' increased pulse and breathing rates．Scientists need more data to make stronger links between human emotions and what's in their breath．But Williams can see potential practical uses．Companies，for instance，could quickly measure the air during tests to see how people feel about new products．He pictures future studies recording other body variables （变数）as well．These might include heart rate and body temperature，for instance．"It's something to find out．"26.What chemicals in the air are important to Williams's recent research？______A. Those in the natural air．B. Those from the theaters．C. Those from audience's breath．D. Those from people's gasps．27.What was Williams's purpose of the research？______A. To know more about the makeup of the air．B. To see whether people's emotion affects the air they breathe out．C. To study how greatly the movies influence people's emotion．D. To find out how the air changes in a crowded stadium．28.What do we know about the experiment？______A. Each participant watched about 16 films．B. The movies were a mixture of comedy and romance．C. The films were labeled with three main features．D. The samples were taken in two theaters over six weeks．29.In which situation are people most emotional？______A. Horrible moments．B. Romantic momentsC. Suspenseful situations．D. Exciting situations．30.What can we infer from the last paragraph？______A. Williams thinks more measures should be taken for practical uses．B. Human emotions are strongly related to the chemicals humans breathe out．C. People's temperature will be measured when they're watching movies．D. Companies will spend much money testing their new product．DMoscow city authorities have begun using comics with characters from Russian fairytales to explain to migrants how they should behave．They say a 100-page guide is needed to "maintain a positive image" of the city and could help reduce "tensions" between natives andmigrants．But some people have pointed out that foreign immigrants and natives may be viewed as antagonists in the manual （手册）．They think immigrants and natives should live together in harmony．Russians and immigrants have repeatedly clashed in Moscow recently．Many immigrants from ex-Soviet republics in Central Asia，the Caucasus and North Caucasus，arrive in Moscow every year，attracted by the capital's job opportunities and relatively high salaries．A significant number of them work in the Russian capital illegally．The new guide in Russian seeks to explain the "dos" and "don'ts" to immigrants．They are urged not to cause trouble，by staring at women，or eating or talking loudly on the streets．They are also warned that the police may routinely stop them to check their documents．In the manual，Russia's famous "Three warriors" are meant to represent the city's law enforcement agencies，while Prince Yuri Dolgoruky （a historical character）is used for tours around Moscow．Meanwhile，Vasilisa the Wise and The Snow Maiden test the reader on Russia's language and history．A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow's strict residency and employment rules，stressing that immigrants could otherwise be deported （驱逐出境）or banned from entry．The manual was written primarily for illegal immigrants，Alexander Kalinin，who heads the group Support for Working Migrants in Moscow，told BBC Russian．"We want to raise their level of law awareness，" he added．"In the beginning immigrants had been identified as representatives of different nationalities，but the book's authors later decided to drop this idea so as "not to offend anyone"，said Mr．Kalinin．"The old conflict between Russian heroes and non-Slavic invaders appears again，" Yevgeny Varshaver，a migration expert told BBC Russian．He also suggested that the language used in the book would be "difficult" to understand for some immigrants who were not native Russian speakers．31.The underlined word in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by ______ ．A. strangersB. opponentsC. competitorsD. acquaintances32.People from other countries come to Moscow ______ ．A. to enjoy the fine climateB. to have a new lifestyleC. to find occupations with good incomeD. to experience a new culture33.What can we learn about the manual______A. It may not make immigrants and natives live in harmony．B. It is full of funny stories from fairy tales．C. It aims to protect the rights of locals and immigrants．D. It sets strict and cruel rules to immigrants．34.What can be inferred from the last paragraph______A. The book will make it easy for foreign immigrants to read．B. Foreign immigrants may find the manual interesting to read．C. The Russian language is hard for foreign immigrants to learn．D. Foreign immigrants may have difficulty reading the manual．35.Which of the following would be the best title of the text______A. Ways to help foreign immigrants to settle in Russia．B. More and more foreign immigrants work in Moscow．C. Moscow fairy tale comics to help immigrants behave．D. Characters from Russian fairy tales attract public attention．三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）Since I was a child I always knew my dream was being a famous singer even though I didn't know how to get there．Though I have read The Magic and Hero multiple times(36) I was 12 years old，it was (37)a couple of years ago that I really started taking it seriously．Since then，everything has (38)in front of my eyes．With complete faith I moved to London to study (39)and it was one of the most amazing years of my life．I began to make friends for life and I became the happy(40)person．And my dream was more (41)than ever．And I didn't want to be just a(42)，but the one that inspires people and (43)a message of love and happiness．A year later I figured out it was time for a change and to (44)my professional music career．So I (45)a music business degree in a music university．Although some people said it didn't(46)，I knew it was the right way．In one of the university seminars，a creative director talked about their acts and how they(47)young artists and introduce them to successful record labels．From that moment I knew I wanted to be (48)with them．It felt like it was a good (49)even though few artists per year could succeed．Sometimes I had(50)and set backs．Then in a series of events I met a girl in a management company．But I was(51)since the company only has 20 employees．What are the chances？Anyway I (52)to her a demo of one of my songs．I didn't hear from her for two weeks but I still imagined the(53)of me signing the contract．Then out of the blue，I got a call (54) they were really interested in me．I'm so happy because I know I'm one step (55) to my dream．Fast forward one month，I finally got to sign with them!36.

that is a good match for your personality and interests．You can't get the "feel" of a school from any guidebook，so be sure to visit the campus．Below are a few tips for getting the most out of your college visit．Explore on Your OwnOf course you should take the official campus tour，but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own．The trained tour guides will show you a school's selling points．But the oldest and prettiest buildings don't give you the entire picture of a college．Try to walk the extra mile and get the complete picture of the campus．Read the Bulletin BoardsWhen you visit the student center，academic buildings and residence halls，take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards．They provide an easy way to see what's happening on campus．The ads for lectures，clubs and plays can tell you what's going on outside the classrooms．Eat in the Dining HallYou can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall．Try to sit withstudents if you can．Do the students seem happy or stressed？Also，is the food good？Are there adequate healthy options？Many admission offices will give prospectivestudents coupons （优惠券）for free meals in the dining halls．Visit a Class in Your MajorIf you know what you want to study，a class visit makes a lot of sense．You'll get to observe other students in your field and see how involved they are in classroomdiscussion．Try to stay after class for a few minutes and chat with the students to get their impressions of their professors and major．Be sure to call in advance to schedule aclassroom visit - most colleges don't allow visitors to drop in at class unannounced．Talk to Lots of StudentsYour campus tour guide has been trained to market the school．Try to talk to students who aren't getting paid to impress you．These important conversations can often provide you with information about college life that isn't part of the admission script．Fewuniversity officials will tell you if their students spend all weekend drinking or studying，but a group of random students might．For more tips，please go to collegeapps．about．com．The best way to know about a college in an official campus tour is ______ ．A．to walk around the campus aloneB．to take pictures of the campusC．to visit the oldest and prettiest buildingsD．to hire a trained tour guideReading the bulletin boards can help you ______ ．A．decide the major you want to studyB．find out the after-class activities on campusC．get free coupons from the admission officesD．find out the options of healthy foodIf you plan to attend a class on campus，______ ．A．drop in at a class in your majorB．have talks with students before classC．make an appointment in advanceD．ask the professor for permissionTo get a real idea of the college during a visit，it's best to talk to ______ ．A．famous professorsB．campus tour guidesC．admission officersD．random studentsWhere does the passage probably come from？______A．A news report．B．A tourist poster．C．An educational journal．D．A geographical magazine．37."OK，"I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice．"What's goingon with you and your friend J．？" J．is the leader of a group of third-graders at her camp - a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer．Now she's the one on the outs and every day at snack time，she tells me all about it，while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long．"She's fond of giving orders，" Lucy complained．"She's turning everyone againstme．She's mean．And she's fat．" "Excuse me，" I said，struggling for calm．"What did you just say？" "She's fat．" Lucy mumbled （含糊地说）．" We're going upstairs，" I said，my voice cold．"We're going to discuss this．" And up we went．I'd spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day，the day we'd have the conversation about this horrible word．I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing （取笑），but in all of my imaginings （想象的情况），it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word - Fat．My daughter sat on her bed，and I sat beside her．"How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasn't your fault？" I began．"She could stop eating so much，" Lucy mumbled，mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors have given overweight women for years．"It's not always that easy，" I said．"Everyone's different in terms of how they treat food．"Lucy looked at me，waiting for me to go on．I opened my mouth，and then closed it．Should I tell her that，in teasing a woman's weight，she's joined the long tradition of critics？Should I tell her I didn't cry when someone posted my picture andcommented，"I'm sorry，but aren't authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty？"Does she need to know，now，that life isn't fair？I feel her eyes on me，waiting for an answer I don't have．Words are my tools．Stories are my job．It's possible she'll remember what I say forever，and I have no idea what to say．So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true．I say to mydaughter，"I love you，and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you．But I'm disappointed in you right now．There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone．What she looks like isn't one of them．"Lucy nods，tears on her cheeks．"I won't say that again，" she tells me，and I pull herclose，pressing my nose against her hair．As we sit there together，I pray for her to be smart and strong．I pray for her to find friends，work she loves，a partner who loves her．And still，always，I pray that she will never struggle as I've struggled，that weight will never be her cross to bear．She may not be able to use the word in our home，butI can use in my head．I pray that she will never get fat．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 indicates that Lucy ______ ．A．often makes fun of her friend J．B．has turned against her friend J．C．gets along well with her friend J．D．has begun to compete with her friend J．Why does the author want to discuss with Lucy？______A．Because she wants to offer some other helpful advice．B．Because she has prepared the conversation for nine years．C．Because she is really shocked at Lucy's rudeness．D．Because she decides to tell Lucy a similar story of her own．What does the author want her daughter to know？______A．It is not easy to take the doctors' advice to eat less．B．People shouldn't complain because life is unfair．C．She herself was once laughed at for her appearance．D．People shouldn't be blamed for their appearance．It can be inferred from the passage that ______ ．A．the author earns a living by writing storiesB．the author is a fat but good-looking womanC．the author predicted what would happen to her daughterD．the author's daughter agreed with her from the beginningThe author's attitude towards her daughter can be best described as ______ ．A．satisfied and friendlyB．indifferent but patientC．loving but strictD．unsatisfied and angry38.Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century，but- regardless of whether it is or isn't - we won't do much about it．We will argue over it and may even，as a nation，make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it．But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem，the less likely they are to be observed．Al Gore calls global warming an "inconvenient truth，" as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution．But the real truth is that we don't know enough to relieve global warming，and - without major technological breakthroughs - we can't do much about it．From 2003 to 2050，the world's population is estimated to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion，a 42% increase．If energy use per person and technology remain the same，total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions （mainly，CO2）will be 42% higher in2050．But that's too low，because societies that grow richer use more energy．We need economic growth unless we condemn （注定）the world's poor people to their present poverty and freeze everyone else's living standards．With modest economic growth，energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050．No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom （limits on electricity usage，driving and travel）that might cut back globalwarming．Still，politicians want to show they're "doing something．" Consider the Kyoto Protocol （京都议定书）．It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn't．But it hasn't reduced CO2 emissions （up about 25% since 1990），and many signatories （签字国）didn't adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets．The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster，the only solution is new technology．Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it．The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it's really an engineering one．The inconvenient truth is that if we don't solve theengineering problem，we're helpless．What is said about global warming in the first paragraph？______A．It may not prove an environmental crisis at all．B．It is an issue requiring worldwide commitments．C．Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it．D．Very little will be done to bring it under control．According to the author's understanding，what is Al Gore's view on global warming？______A．It is a reality both people and politicians are unaware of．B．It is a phenomenon that causes us many inconveniences．C．It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized．D．It is an area we actually have little knowledge about．Greenhouse emissions will more than double by 2050 because of ______ ．A．the growth of economyB．wasteful use of energyC．the widening gap between the rich and poorD．the rapid advances of science and technologyThe author believes that，since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol，______ ．A．politicians have started to do something to better the situationB．few nations have adopted real tough measures to limit energy useC．reductions in energy consumption have greatly cut back global warming D．international cooperation has contributed to solving environmental problemsWhat is the message the author intends to convey？______A．Global warming is more of a moral issue than a practical one．B．The ultimate solution to global warming lies in new technology．C．The debate over global warming will lead to technological breakthroughs．D．People have to give up certain material comforts to stop global warming．39.Everyone knows about straight-A students．We see them frequently in TV situationcomedies and in movies like Revenge of the Nerds．They get high grades，all right，but only by becoming dull laborers，their noses always stuck in a book．They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports．How，then，do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres？Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School．She also sings in the choral group，serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society．For two years she has maintained A's in every subject．Melendres，a freshman at theUniversity of New Mexico，was student-body president at Valley High School inAlbuquerque．He played soccer and basketball well，exhibited at the science fair，and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station．Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony，he achieved straight A's in his regular classes，plus bonus pointsfor A's in two college-level courses．How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it？Brains aren't the onlyanswer．"Top grades don't always go to the brightest students，" declares HerbertWalberg，a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago，who has conducted major studies on super-achieving students．"Knowing how to make the most of your innate （天生的）abilities counts for more．Much more．"In fact，Walberg says，students with high IQ sometimes don't do as well as classmates with lower IQ．For them，learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down．Hard work isn't the whole story，either．"It's not how long you sit there with the books open，" said one of the many straight-A students we interviewed．"It's what you do while you're sitting．" Indeed，some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates．The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn．The underlined word "nerds" can probably be ______ ．A．dull bookworms lacking sports and social skillsB．successful top students popular with their peersC．students with certain learning difficultiesD．born leaders crazy about social activitiesWhat can we conclude from the first paragraph？______A．Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students．B．People have unfavorable impression of straight-A students．C．Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films．D．Straight-A students are well admired by people in society．Some students become super-achievers mainly because ______ ．A．they are born cleverer than othersB．they work longer hours at studyC．they make full use of their abilitiesD．they know the shortcut to successWhat will be talked about after the last paragraph？______A．The interviews with more students．B．The role IQ plays in learning well．C．The techniques to be better learners．D．The achievements top students make．What can we infer from the passage？______A．IQ is more important than hard work in study．B．The brightest students can never get low grades．C．Top students certainly achieve all-around developments．D．Students with average IQ can become super-achievers．40.I remember walking across campus to my dad's office every day after school for over adecade．Upon my arrival，I would find my dad sitting at his desk，surrounded by piles of papers and books．Although the empty chair sitting beside him was probably for a colleague in need of guidance or a college student seeking scheduling help，I always believed that empty chair was for me．Dad would look up from whatever he was doing and greet me with a smile．Then，as if just at the same time，he'd place the cap on the black felt-tip pen that he used to grade papers or draft notes．The pen cap gesture was my signal．It meant my dad wanted tohear about my day．Sometimes I told him a few things；other times I went on and on about something exciting or dramatic that had happened at school．My dad would listen，nod，and sometimes add his two cents．Without fail，my dad would smile as if hearing about my day was the best part of his day．This was the routine．From my first grade through the senior year in high school，I had after-school chats with my dad．I can't remember a time when he said he couldn't talk right now，even when he was working on his paper，dealing with challenging issues，or facing budget cuts．My dad wasn't perfect．He lost his temper sometimes．He worked too much．He experienced periods of depression．But even through the rough patches，my dad was always there for me．He was never too busy or too distracted to hear his son's thoughts and opinions．So though the critics say that giving a child our undivided attention creates a child who thinks the world spins around him or her，I believe otherwise：Having a parent who listens creates a child who believes he or she has a voice that matters in this world．What would the author do when his father placed the cap on the black felt-tip pen？（No more than 10 words）______How did the author's father look when he was listening to the author？（No more than 8 words）______How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph4？（No more than1 5 words）______What do the critics say about giving a child undivided attention？（No more than 6 words）______Do you think it is right for parents to give undivided attention when their children aretalking ？Give your reasons．（No more than 20 words）______四、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25.0分）41.假如你是中学生李华．暑期将至，为了给同学们的假期出游提出好的建议，你校的英文报纸欢迎同学们投稿，对于出境游发表自己的看法．请为你校的英文报纸写一篇文章，内容需要包含以下要点：1．近来出境游热的原因（请给出1～2个原因）；2．在出境旅游中出现的一些问题（如不文明的现象等；可以自由发挥）3．你对出境游的看法和建议．注意：1．词数100左右；2．文章开头已给出，不计入总词数；3．可适当增加细节，使行文连贯．Nowadays

A field technician who has worked at archaeological sites all aroundChina. Master Zhou iscredited with the gentlest touch in his profession. Born into a farming family, he is a “national-level craftsman” with a talent for using simple tools to get relics(遗物) that wouldcrumblein other hands, says his current boss, Wang Xu, director of an archaeological site at Shuanghuaishu, a Neolithic(新石器时代的) settlement near the Yellow River in the central province of Henan.It is not beauty that attracts visitors to Shuanghuaishu. At 5,300 years old, the settlement is the work of a culture too simple to have left behind many buried treasures. The single most precious find, to date, is a finger-length sculpture of a silkworm. Nor is the setting lovely: an area surrounded by deafening insects, between a highway and two power stations. Rather, the site's importance is historical. For since the birth of Chinese archaeology in the 1920s, it has been inseparable from claims thatChinahas the oldest unbroken civilisation on Earth.Leading archaeologists say that the site has the right combination of location, age and distinctive cultural elements to be the capital of an early Chinese kingdom. That would make it a bridge betweenChina's written history and the era of the Yellow Emperor, who is said to rule over these central plains almost 5,000 years ago, though many foreign scholars doubt his existence. Chinese media call the site proof ofChina's 5,000 years of history.Foreigners complain about a lack of written records, Mr. Wang notes. Perhaps they are missing symbols that will one day be understood, for instance in patterned pottery. Outsiders “can't keep using Western standards to apply to Chinese ruins,” he argues.4. What does the underlined word “crumble” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Break.B. Start.C. Wait.D. Shine.5. Why does Shuanghuaishu attract visitors?A. It has appealing scenery.B. It has various precious treasures.C. It is of great historical significance.D. It is easily accessible.6. What is Mr. Wang's attitude towards foreigners’ view?A. Unconcern.B. Disapproving.C. Supportive.D. Not mentioned.7. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Chinese history amazes the world.B. Chinese archaeology catches on.C. China follows its tradition.D.Chinadigs its past.CIt is a question people have been asking for ages. Is there a way to turn back the aging process?For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth”. The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will not age.Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body.Researchers at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural (神经的) stem cells also influence how fast aging takes place in the body.What are stem cells(干细胞)? They are simple cells that can develop into specialized cells, like blood or skin cells. Stem cells can also repair damaged tissues and organs.Dongsheng Cai is a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He was the lead researcher in a study on aging in mice. He and his team reported their findings in the journal Nature, Cai explained when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost. it eventually leads to aging.Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate, or energize, the hypothalamus laboratory mice. They did this by injecting the animals with stem cells, Later, the researchers examined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looked for changes in the strength and coordination (协调) of the animals muscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive ability of the mice. The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals, Cai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger mice helped the older animals live longer.But these results were just from studying mice in a laboratory. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work in.8. In Paragraph 2 a “fountain of youth” is mentioned to ________.A. introduce the main topicB. show a hidden secret.C. describe scientists researchD. recommend a way to stay young9. Aging takes place in the body when _______.A. stem cells develop into specialized cellsB. there are important activities within the bodyC. hypothalamus neural stem cells fail to protect against agingD. the hypothalamus fails to repair damaged tissues and organs10. What do we know about the researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine from the text?A. They did experiments to see how stem cells work.B. They studied mice to find their connection with humans.C. They have found a possible way to slow the aging progress.D. They have found no changes in mice s behavior during the experiment11. What will the researchers probably do next?A. They will help some animals live longer.B. They will announce the fountain of youth doesn’t existC. They will develop products to help people live a longer life immediatelyD. They will do research to see if what they have found in mice will apply to humans.DRain is vital to life on Earth. However, rain isn’t just made of water anymore—it’s partly made of plastic.Millions of tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are wandering around Earth’s atmosphere and traveling across entire continents according to a study published in one journal on April 12.Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter and come from a number of sources. Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits. Some microplastics are produced deliberately to provide abrasion(研磨)in products, such as toothpaste and cleansers. Another major source is your washing machine. When you wash clothing, tiny microfibers get washed away with the wastewater. Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant, the microplastics remain,and they are released into the sea.Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain, but the former is far more widespread and harder to deal with. The tiny particles, too small to be seen with the naked eye, are collected by the wind from the ground. They are so light that they stay in the air to be blown around the globe. As they climb into the atmosphere, they are thought to act as nuclei (核心) around which water vapor (水蒸气) combines to form clouds. Some of the dust falls back toland in dry conditions, while the rest comes down as rain.Microplastics have been found everywhere you can imagine. From fish and frogs to mice and mosquitoes, their bodies have been found on average to contain 40 pieces of microplastic. As the top of the food chain, humans are exposed to microplastics, too. “We live on a ball inside a bubble,” microplastic researcher Steve Allen said. “There are no borders, there are no edges. It rains on the land and then gets blown back up into the air again to move somewhere else. There’s no stopping it once it’s out.”12. What do we know about microplastics?A. They have a diameter of over 5 millimeters.B. They have become a threat to humans.C. They are light and can be easily dealt with.D. They cause acid rain and plastic rain.13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. Waysto deal with microplastics.B. The wide use of microplastics.C. Where microplastics come from.D. How microplastics pollute water.14. What does Steve Allen want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. No place can be safe from microplastic pollution.B. The atmosphere possesses the ability to self-cleanse.C. Countries should work together to fight pollution.D. Wind causes microplastics to move somewhere else.15. The main purpose of the article is to________.A. call on people to use fewer plastic productsB. warn people of the danger of microplasticsC. introduce the sources and effects of microplasticsD. make a comparison between acid rain and plastic rain第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020届天津市和平艺术中学高三英语二模试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ANothing beats live music, but the venue makes a difference. When you're able to score tickets to an incredible concert in an incredible place, you won't forget the experience. Here are some of the coolest music venues from around the world. If you haven't been to any of these, you've got some traveling to do.Red Rocks, Morrison, the United StatesRed Rocks might be the most beautiful and famous venue in the United States. At 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks is a geologically formed natural stage. Its massive sandstone provides a perfect stage for jam bands. If you're into the blues and jazz, you'll have no trouble finding something in line with your interests.Meet Factory, Prague, Czech RepublicSmallest venues on this list, Meet Factory is an art gallery, theater, and music venue. The venue only accommodates 1,000 people, so you won't see any huge names come through. Still, it's a great place to see up-and-coming local acts, and if you've got an eye for contemporary art, you'll love your time here.Arena of NÎmes, NÎmes, FranceOriginally built around A. D. 70, the Arena of Nimes presents concertgoers with an interesting question: Should they enjoy the music, or marvel at the architecture? The Arena is, after all, one of the world's best-preserved Roman theaters. Many major touring acts plan stops at the Arena of Nimes, especially during the venue's annual festival.Sydney Opera House, Sydney, AustraliaThe Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most famous performing venues. I's also one of the most distinctive buildings in Sydney, thanks to the breathtaking design by Danish architect Utzon. It hosts about 40 events per week, so whether you're into jazz, rock, classical music, or opera, you'll find something to watch.1.Where can you enjoy music in natural beauty?A.At Red Rocks.B.At Meet Factory.C.At Arena of Nimes.D.At Sydney Opera House.2.What is special about Meet Factory?A.It enjoys breathtaking scenery.B.It hosts both musical and artistic events.C.It is the largest venue of all.D.It is famous for contemporary music.3.What do the listed music venues have in common?A.They have a long history.B.They are built near the sea.C.They accommodate thousands of people.D.They are beautiful tourist attractions.BChancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said yesterday he would use the autumn spending review to increase Britain’s￡12bn-a-year aid budget towards humanitarian(人道主义的) causes in the wake of the European refugee(难民) crisis.Britainpromised to spend 0.7 percent of state general product on aid, meaning the budget could rise sharply by the end of the decade as the economy grows.Mr Osborne also said more of the aid budget could be given to help local government with housing costs for incomers, without breaking international guidelines.“We will use the foreign aid budget to help with the costs of these refugees. People ask about the pressure on public services; we’ll have extra money to help with that.”The government was unable to give a figure for how much aid money could be handed to local authorities: it would depend on how many refugees are accepted.David Cameron, Prime Minister, will set out his position on aid for refugees today. It is reported thatBritainwill accept at least 10,000 extra people from camps on theSyriaborder. He will use a statement in the House of Commons to flesh out plans — announced inMadridon Friday — to take more people.A report inThe Sunday Timesthat the UK would take 15,000 Syrians, not far from the 18,000 figure demanded by the EU, was described by “Downing Street” as a “guess”.TheUKwill offer to resettle Syrians directly from refugee camps inJordan,LebanonandTurkey— but not those who have already reached the EU.4. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Britain tried to help refugees.B. People doubtBritain’s kindness.C. Britain tried to explain its behavior.D. Refugees like to live inBritain.5.

House of Commons declare a general plan.D.Britaincan hold 15,000 refugees at most.CA male tiger was rescued in Mishan city, Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, on Friday. A tiger was recently seen on the Siner Russian border（边界），but there is no evidence to suggest this is the same tiger or that it had lost its way from Russia.Wherever it may have come from, cross-border protection of endangered species is a problem. According to Ma Jianzhang, a senior wild animal researcher in China, tigers know no borders, which have been built to stop humans from illegally crossing over. However, these borders also stop the free movement of tigers, thus preventing their breeding（繁殖）and exchange of genes.The Sino-Russian border alsocomes in the way ofprotecting tigers in the region. Data show about 500 to 550 Siberian tigers, or over 90 percent of the species, live in the wild in Russia; 27 live in the wild in China, and 50 inthe border region. Sometimes tigers lose their way across the border and that is hindering（妨碍）efforts to stop illegal hunting and protecting them.Fortunately, both China and Russia have realized this problem and are working toward solving it. As early as 2010, the two countries established a cross-border protection network aimed at strengthening communication on protecting tigers in the northeast. The countries have also held anti-poaching（反偷猎）activities together. In 2019,two national parks from the two countries signed a three-year deal to share research data on tigers, greatly improving the living conditions of Siberian tigers in the wild.However, much more needs to be done to protect the species. It is necessary to combine the tiger protection areas in the two countries. That will require greater efforts from both sides and some difficulties might remain even then. Fortunately, both countries have been taking effective measures to provide the endangered species a better home.8. What's the original purpose of setting up the Sino-Russian borders?A. To ban people from illegal crossings.B. To help protect tigers in the region.C. To protect tigers from losing their way.D. To stop tigers' breeding and exchange of genes.9. What does the underlined phrase “comes in the way of” probably mean?A. keeps from.B. is on the way toC. is aimed atD. keeps up10. What is the focus of Paragraph 4 ?A. Recent studies and researches on tigers.B. Joint efforts by China and Russia to protect tigers.C. The possible effects of establishing a networkD. Reasons for improving the living conditions of tigers.11. What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To inform the possible dangers of tiger protection.B. To cover the news about a missing tiger on the border.C. To put forward suggestions on finding the missing tiger.D. To report the problems and measures of cross-border tiger protection.DByteDance（字节跳动）Group’s TikTok, an overseas version of Chinese short video sharing app Douyin, faces an existential crisis in the United States, as murmurs of a “crackdown”（强制取缔）from the White House forced the Chinese company toengage in talks on selling its US business to Microsoft.TikTok is the fastest-growing registered global mobile internet app, with more than 100 million users, and its rapid growth, especially in the US, is seen as a threat to Facebook. The US government has long viewed globally competitive Chinese high-tech companies including Huawei as a threat and done whatever it could to crack downon（打击）them in the name of “national security”.The US government has not introduced any specific policy against TikTok only threatened it through a number of unclear statements.According to the latest media reports, Microsoft is prepared to press ahead withthe negotiations to take over TikTok’s US operations and complete the negotiations by Sept 15, following talks between Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and US President Donald Trump.This means that TikTok will have to hand its fate over to some unpredictable power, and even have to sell its assets without the option of setting a price.The US government has failed to find a reasonable legal excuse to deal with TikTok. All private data of TikTok’s US users are stored in the US and are unlikely to be transferred. Considering the US government is trying to deal with TikTok in a political way, TikTok should consider incorporating（合并）the dispute into the US legal process to assert（坚持）its legal rights and interests.TiKTok’s core value lies in its unique algorithms,a product of artificial intelligence that represents the expertise of Chinese engineers and programmers with high-value intellectual property.The US government’s move, which has forced ByteDance to sell TikTok to a US company, is similar to a forced technology transfer and an example of the US’ openseizureof Chinese intellectual property.If ByteDance sells TikTok to a US company for “security reasons", that would set a dangerous precedent, motivating other countries where TikTok operates to follow the US administration's example and cause a chain reaction.ByteDance is a young Chinese private company that cannot deal with a political game played by the US. But as a Chinese company that has gone global, ByteDance has reasons to take up legal means to defend its legal rights. The Chinese government can also consider examining whether the technology transfer in the deal violates China’s law and harms the country’s national interests.12. What is the most valuable as for TikTok?A. Its global popularity.B. Its artificial intelligence.C. Its registered global mobile internet app.D. Its private data of TikTok’s worldwide users.13. Why does the American government force the Chinese company to hand over TikTok’s US operations to a US company?A. Out of so-called political reasons.B. Out of so-called debt reasons.C. Out of so-called technical reasons.D. Out of so-called security reasons.14. What does the underlined word “seizure”probably mean in Para. 8?A. An untrue spoken statement about someone.B. The use of legal authority to take sth from sb.C. The crime of stealing sth from a person or place.D. The act of trying to hurt somebody using physical violence.15. What can be the best title for the news report?A. TikTok must defend its rights legallyB. TikTok is seen as a threat to FacebookC. ByteDance has to sell TikTok to a US companyD. ByteDance agrees to transfer technology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。

I was born two weeks late. When I finally entered the world I weighed 11 pounds 10 ounces and was 24 inches long. When my mom told my grandmother my measurements, she asked in amazement, "Are you okay?!"I was healthy, but very shy as a child and into my teens. I'm from a small town, and I grew up and graduated with the same 50 people. I started playing basketball in third grade every Saturday, but I didn't have any control over my awkward body. (I didn't even score a point in a game until many years later.) I was 5-foot-10 in fourth grade. I had a small group of friends in elementary school, but sometimes the boys picked on me, calling me a bean pole or the Jolly Green Giant. I still remember my embarrassment when they laughed at me, and how badly I wanted to be invisible.In high school I got more involved in sports, but I spent most days in the art room. By this time everyone at my school was used to my height (by ninth grade I was 6-foot-3), but if I went out of town people would stare at me and comment about my appearance.I was forced into the spotlight wherever I went.With high school came more confidence. I had success in school, the arts and sports. I played basketball, but my true passion was track and field. During my senior year I was the conference champion in high jump and the 400-meter run. The friendships I gained through my involvement in high school boosted my confidence and helped me develop a sense of humor. Now when a stranger told me I was tall I would smile and nod or, if I was feeling determined, I would pretend to feel shocked and thank them for telling me. I had no idea!Still, society keeps me aware of my status as something rare. And even though people tell me I'm beautiful and I should be a model, there are times when I would trade in my long legs for a small frame and tiny feet. I often wish people weren't so rude. I'm a minority only in the sense of height. I like to think that those who have insulted me didn't intend to. I do believe that most people are basically good, but they can be insensitive.4. What can be inferred from Para.1?A. The writer's height has something to do with her late birth.B. Grandmother was unwilling to have the writer as her grandchild.C. The writer failed to have a successful life because of her unusual height.D. The writer was heavier and bigger compared with other babies when she was born.5. By saying 'I was forced into the spotlight', the author probably means that she ________.A.was criticized by othersB. caught public attentionC. was threatenedD. felt inferior6. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned as the writer's experiences in high school?A. She quit playing basketball and joined the track and field team.B. She no longer felt upset when facing her height problem.C. She had a passion for some sports events.D. She built up more confidence.7. What does the last sentence imply?A. People enjoy making fun of others.B. People are bad andcannot be trusted.C. People tend to bully those who are weaker.D. People sometimes care little about how others feel.CAs a basic food in the Asian diet，soybeans（大豆）have been used to make tofu and soy milk for hundreds of years．But now，they are also being turned into an alternative to plastic wrap．William Chen，a professor of foodscience and technology at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University，invented the environmentally﹣friendly food wrap．It's made of cellulose（纤维素），a form of fiber，obtained from the waste generated by soy bean product producers．The beans are pressed tosqueeze out juice that's used to make tofu and soy milk．And what's left is usually thrown away，but Chen takes the waste and puts it through a fermentation（发酵）process，during which cellulose is produced．Cellulose﹣based plastic wraps have been on the market for a few years，but Chen says that most are made from wood or corn，grown for that purpose．By contrast，his wrap is made from a waste product，which doesn't compete with other crops for land and is more sustainable．Chen's technology could help to solve two problems at once：cutting plastic production and reducing the amount of food waste．"In Singapore，the amount of food waste generated every year could fill up 15，000 Olympic﹣sized swimming pools，" Chen says．F&N，a soy﹣based drinks producer，has partnered with Chen's lab and provides the product，straight from the factory．The company is conducting a study to assess whether the food wrap could complete commercially with conventional products．Chen adds，"The soy﹣based wrap costs almost nothing to makein the lab becausethe raw materials are free．Commercial production would involve additional expenses，such as storage and quality control，however，we have not calculated those costs yet．"Chen hopes neighboring soy﹣loving countries will be inspired bySingapore to adopt his innovation．"My dream is that our technology，which is cheap and simple，will cut plastic and food waste and create a cleaner environment，" Chen says．8. What is the second paragraph mainly about？A. The introduction to William Chen．B. The process of producing soy milk．C. The way to make soy﹣based wrap．D. The benefit of eating soy products．9. What's the biggest difference of Chen's wrap from other cellulose﹣based plastic wraps？A. It saves land for industry．B. It's more easilybroken down．C. It is made from the food waste．D. It has been put into practice for many years．10. What will commercial production of the food wrap cause？A. A lack of competitiveness．B. Poor quality of the wraps．C. A shortage of raw material．D. An increase in production costs．11. From which is the text probably taken？A. A personal diary．B. A travel guide．C. A book review．D. A scientific magazine．DI was at my parent’s dinner table. Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolor1 ed pages. It was my grandfather’s journal and now belonged to my father. My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life’s journey.I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I wascaptivatedby the power of the written words. In the magical script (笔迹) before me, I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others, and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace (拥抱) each other’s struggles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer’s mind and understand the world they lived in.That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment, and hungry for information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to our collective wisdom, most of these writings reflectthe superficiality (肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important. Writing humbles (使谦卑) us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life. Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflect deep thought on issues of human importance.12. The underlined word “captivated” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “________”.A. puzzledB. frightenedC. attractedD. defeated13. In the author’s grandfather’s age, people ________.A. lived a hard lifeB. cared about each otherC. were fond of writingD. treated food as an art14. The author begins the text with her grandfather’s journal in order to ________.A. show her respect to her grandfatherB. present the importance of good writingC. express her interest in reading as well as writingD. raise the problems with today’s writing15. In the last paragraph, the author is trying to _________.A. discuss what good writing is likeB. express her strong desire to learn writing skillsC. stress the effects of her grandfather’s journal on herD. show her admiration for her grandfather’s writing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。

Back then, businesses sold many products connected to the event and many such products are now on sales again — in celebration of the moon landing’s 50th anniversary.A limited number of Omega’s gold Speedmaster watches — the same kind that Buzz Aldrin wore on the moon — will be sold at $34,600. Omega Speedmaster watches have been an important part of space travel since NASA chose them for its moon landing in 1965. Other watches had failed required tests. Omega gave its gold Speedmasters to the astronauts at a dinner in 1969 before the landing. Another less costly type of silver Speedmasters will be sold at $ 9,650. It carries a picture of Aldrin stepping down from the moon lander.Something for children-as well as adults — is the NASA Apollo 11 moon lander set. Made by Lego, it is a group of small pieces to put together to make a model of the moon lander.Other things for sale include the anti-gravity Fisher Space Pens,developed just for the Apollo 11 mission. They work even when writing upside down. Now Fisher Space Pen Company has a limited-edition pen for sale at anout-of this-worldprice: $700, with real material from the Apollo 11 spacecraft.Back in 1969, companies were quick to show their Apollo 11 connections with media and advertisements. The food company Stouffer’s made sure consumers knew it provided food for Apollo 11 astronauts once they returned to Earth. It started the ad campaign “Everybody who’s been to the moon is eating Stouffer’s”. Fifty years later, the company is celebrating with a media campaign to share some recipes from 1969.Marketing experts David Meerman Scott says, “Since 1972,we’ve gone around and around the earth manytimes, and it is not interesting to people any more. I’m not sure whether they can accept such crazy prices. Now NASA has had plans to go to Mars in the 2030s and marketing efforts for a NASA Mars mission should be in development.”4. What can we learn about the gold Speedmaster watch?A. It will be sold at $34,600.B. NASA bought itats9,650.C. It has Aldrin’s picture inside.D. It was chosen by NASA in 1969.5. What does the underlined word “out-of-this-world” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Extremely fair.B. Surprisingly high.C. Really low.D. Truly worthwhile.6. What does David Meerman Scott mean?A. It is a waste of money to go around and around the moon.B. People will be interested in the products connected to Apollo.C. Since 1972,governments have lost interest in moon explorations.D. The event of going to Mars will be another good chance to advertise.7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A. To show how to design the best advertisement.B. To forecast the sales of the products in the text.C. To introduce some of the products connected to Apollo 11.D. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.CImagine that youare a superhero. Your superpowers are activated by a special suit. The suit communicates with your brain. It allows you to do amazing things with only a thought. By concentrating on strength, for example, you can kick a soccer ball across a field. By focusing on swift actions, you can jump to the top of a tree.Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy. To scientists, though, it is a very real goal. They are creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk. These machines may soon help disabled humans do the same. Unlike other bionic devices, these robotic “super suits” do not communicate with muscles and nerves. Instead, they have a direct line to the brain.In 2005, doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hutchinson, who had lost her right arm in an accident. Then they inserted a sensor onto her motor cortex (大脑皮层运动区). Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her head. After she recovered, researchers pluggedHutchinson’s receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain tocomputers. Then they connected a robotic arm to the computers. The computerscould interpretHutchinson’s brain signals to move the arm.Soon,Hutchinson, the computer, and the robotic arm became a team.Hutchinsonwas even able to lift her hand and drink from a cup. “She smiled when she put down that drink—that’s everything.” says Donoghue, a brain scientist.Today other scientists are building on that success. One of those scientists is Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, who designed a whole-body bionic equipment. In 2014, a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World Cup Games wearing one of Miguel’s full-body exoskeletons.The exoskeleton was connected to brain signal sensors in the man’s cap. By thinking about kicking, he sent signals to a computer on his back. The computer then translated the signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick. Such designs may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.8.Which can best describe the tone of paragraph 1?A. Narrative and serious.B. Persuasive and critical.C. Informative and objective.D. Descriptive and imaginative.9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Reason of the experiment.B. Results of the experiment.C. Process of the experiment.D. Significance of the experiment.10. Why is Dr. Miguel’s exoskeleton special?A. It can be used on animals.B. It can move the whole body.C. It was supported by computers.D. It was connected directly to the brain.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Robotic suits may be widely used to help disabled people.B. Exoskeleton is more common thanHutchinson’s bionic arm.C.Scientific experiments are commonly carried out in football fields.D. Disabled athletes can now play football again with the help of computer.DIn the summer of 2016, I gave a talk at a small conference in northernVirginia. I began by admitting that I’d never had a social-media account; I then outlined arguments for why other peopleshould consider removing social media from their lives. The event organizers uploaded the video of my talk to YouTube. Then it was shared repeatedly on Facebook and Instagram and, eventually, viewed more than five million times. I was both pleased and annoyed by the fact that my anti-social-media talk had found such a large audience on social media.I think of this event as typical of the love-hate relationships many of us have with Facebook, Instagram, and other social-media platforms. On the one hand, we’ve grown cautious about the so-called attention economy, which, in the name of corporate(公司的) profits, destroys social life gradually and offends privacy. But we also benefit from social media and hesitate to break away from it completely. Not long ago, Imet a partner at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., who told me that she keeps Instagram on her phone because she misses her kids when she travels; looking through pictures of them makes her feel better.In recent months, some of the biggest social-media companies, Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have promised various reforms. In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to move his platform toward private communication protected by end-to-end encryption(端对端加密); later that month, he put forward the establishment of a third-party group to set standards for acceptable content.All of these approaches assume that the reformation of social media will be a complex, lengthy, and gradual process. But not everyone sees it that way. Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers that calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. They are developing their own social-media platforms, which they say will preserve what’s good about social media while getting rid of what’s bad. They hope to rebuild social media according to principles that are less corporate and more humane(人道的).12. Why did the author feel annoyed when his video was spread online?A. His video caused many arguments.B. His video was shared without his permission.C. His talk was opposed by a large amount of people.D. His video’s popularity on social media is against his talk.13. Why does the author mention the story of his partner in paragraph 2?A. To prove that social media has some benefits.B. To advise people to break away from social media.C. To tell the negative effects social media may produce.D. To describe people’s complicated relationships with social media.14. What is the purpose of the reform made by some social-media companies?A. To attract more users.B. To improve network environment.C. To make more profits.D. To provide more convenientservice.15. What does the IndieWeb intend to do?A. Develop new social-media platforms.B. Remove social media from people’s lives.C. Improve the existing social-media principles.D. Help social-media companies to make reformation.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2020年天津卷第二次英语试题(带解析)
2020年天津卷第二次英语试题（带解析）一、阅读理解How to Use a Modern Public LibraryHas it been a while since your last visit to a public library? If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better. It’s been years since they were dusty little rooms with books. They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business.Check out a book. While libraries still loan out(出借)books, you’ll find it easier to get a copy of whatever you’re looking for, thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries. Via such networks, libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles. Once the book you’ve requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you bye-mail, so you can pick it up.Check out other items. The library is now a multimedia zone, loaded with information in many formats(载体形式). You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and games. If a popular magazine you want isn’t offered and the library keeps a list of such requests, they may bring it in when enough interest is shown.Join targeted reading groups. Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted to various age groups. Perhaps you’d like to learn a language or improve your English. The library may sponsor a language group you could join. If you have difficulties reading, ask about special reading opportunities. Your library might be able to accommodate you. And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietlyin a corner with a good book.Start a business using the help of your local library. If you want to have a business of your own, your local library can become a launch space for it. In library books and computers, you can find information on starting a business. Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce(商会)and government agencies, and they will offer printing, faxing and database services you need.1．Public libraries connected by a cooperative network benefit readers by______. A．sharing their books on the InternetB．giving access to online reading at a library branchC．sending a needed book to a library branch nearbyD．making the checkout procedures diverse2．According to Paragraph 3, what items may be checked out from a public library?A．A magazine and an e-book.B．A game and an oil painting.C．A music CD and a kid’s t oy.D．A DVD and a video player3．As is described in Paragraph 4, taking a small kid to a half-hour Story Time allows ______. A．the kid to learn a new languageB．the parent to enjoy quiet readingC．the kid to overcome reading difficultiesD．the parent to meet their program sponsor4．Your local library can help you start a business by ______.A．providing relevant information and supporting servicesB．offering professional advice on business managementC．supplying useful information of your potential buyersD．arranging meetings with government officials5．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To point out the importance of public libraries.B．To encourage people to work in public libraries.C．To introduce the improved services of public libraries.D．To call for the modernization of public library systems.“They tell me that you’d like to make a statue(塑像) of me-is that correct, Miss Vinnie Ream?”The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl.“Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wouldn’t have duo ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner. “President Lincoln smiled. “P ainters, sculptors-they’ve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but I’m afraid there’s not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream?A bust(半身像)?”Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in his voice.“Of course-I shouldn’t have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size. “Vinnie’s face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small does not mean weak, sir,” she defended herself.“I was born in the country of Wisconsin. I’ve driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay(粘土) figure would not exhaust my strength-and that is what I intend to do!”The President’s eyes, brightened at her show of spirit. “Sorry, ma dam, I have underestimated you as I didn’t know your background.”But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “I’d like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I poss ibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now? I hardly have a minute to myself.”Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. “I work quickly,” she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I wer e to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk.”The President seemed to consider her idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnie’s hand warmly, “I’ve heard that you are a ta lented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well. I cannot make my decision immediately, but you will hear from me soon.”The very next day, Vinnie received an invitation from the President.6．What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln?A．Her aggressive personality.B．Mr. Mills’s encouraging remark.C．President Lincoln’s gentle voice.D．Her interest in a challenging job.7．How did President Lincoln first respond to Vinnie’s request?A．Pleased.B．Thrilled.C．Regretful.D．Doubtful.8．Vinnie confirmed her ability to make a full-length statue by highlighting ______.A．her experience from other projectsB．her innocent childhood in the countryC．the heavy labor she had done beforeD．the skill she picked up in Wisconsin9．Vinnie wanted to choose the corner near the windows to ______.A．achieve effects of natural lightingB．keep all her tools within easy reachC．observe the President at a right angleD．avoid disturbing the president’s work10．What message does the story convey?A．A strong-willed soul can reach his goal.B．Experience helps to promote excellence.C．Ups and downs make one strong.D．Devotion requires enthusiasm.For people, who are interested in sound, the field of sound technology is definitely making noise. In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of today’s sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.Sound can be used as a weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief tries to escape. And the officer can’t let him get away. He pulls out a special device, points it at the suspect, and switches it on. The thief drops to the ground. This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device(LRAD, 远程定向声波发射器). It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.For those who hunger for some peace and quiet, sound can now create silence. Let’s say you are at the airport, and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming(哼唱) a short commercial song. He hums it over and over again, and you are about to go crazy. Thanks to the Silence Machine, a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents. One may wonder how the Silence Machine works. Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves. Thetwo sets of waves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine or point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back.Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights(聚光灯) are used in the theater. A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly, “spotsound” creates a circle of sound in on targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining. Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes.11．What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD?A．It causes temporary hearing loss.B．It slows down a running man.C．It makes it easy to identify a suspect.D．It keeps the suspect from hurting others.12．The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to ________.A．silence the people around youB．remove the sound of commercialsC．block the incoming sound wavesD．stop unwanted sound from affecting you13．What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share?A．They travel in circles.B．They clear the atmosphere.C．They can be transformed into energy.D．They can be directed onto a specific area.14．Directed sound can be used for ________.A．creative designs of restaurant menusB．ideal sound effects on the theater stageC．different choices of music for businessesD．strict control over any suspicious customer15．What does the passage focus on?A．How professionals invented sound products.B．Inventions in the field of sound technology.C．The growing interest in the study of sound.D．How sound engineers work in their studios.After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.Together, these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more that ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be lea rned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.“The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flower s to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.16．In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.A．propose a definitionB．make a comparisonC．reach a conclusionD．present an argument17．What does the example of Galileo tell us?A．Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.B．Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.C．Creativity results from challenging authority.D．Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.18．What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent?A．Observe the unknown around you.B．Develop a questioning mind.C．Lead a life of adventure.D．Follow the fashion.19．What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7?A．Gaining success helps you become an expert.B．The genius tends to get things done creatively.C．Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.D．You should remain modest when approaching perfection.20．What could be the best tile or the passage?A．Curious Minds Never Feel ContentedB．Reflections on Human NatureC．The Keys to AchievementD．Never Too Late to Learn二、单项选择21．Jim says we ______ stay in his house as long as we leave it clean and tidy . A．must B．can C．need D．should 22．—You are a great swimmer.—Thanks. It’s because I ______ a lot these days.A．have been practising B．was practisingC．would practise D．had practised23．—Next time you visit Bob, remember to give him a call in advance.—______. I will.A．My pleasure B．No wonder C．Good point D．Never mind 24．______ us prepare for the exam, the teacher suggested reading through our notes.
