What do we know about the Weber’s invention?A. It uses virtual reality.B. It is convenient for cooking.C. It makes meals for you automatically.D. It helps you do well in your yoga exercises.BIt 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.4. 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 young5. 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 organs6. 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 experiment7. 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.CWilliam had worked hard to pass the exams to enter high school. When the term began, however, his father told him that there was no money to pay for his school fees because of the summer drought. Still, William wanted to learn.He made the village library his school. One day, he found a book calledUsing Energy. On the book’s cover was a picture of windmills, tall steel towers with blades (叶片) spinning like giant fans. He learned that wind—something of which his hometown had plenty—could produce electricity.He couldn’t help picturing his own windmill in mind, but collecting the parts and tools he needed would take months. In a junkyard, he dug through piles of used metal, old cars, and worn-out tractors, searching for anything that might help him construct his machine. He made four-foot-long blades from plastic pipe, which he melted overa fire, flattened out, and hardened with bamboo poles.Earning some money, he paid a blacksmith to attach the piston (活塞) to the pedal sprocket (踏板链轮) of an old bicycle frame. This would be the axle (轮轴) of the windmill. When the wind blew, the spinning blades would turn the bicycle wheel and spin a small dynamo (发电机), donated by his friend.When he had collected all the parts, William began putting them together. He fixed the blades to the tractor fan he found, using washers (垫圈) he’d made from bottle caps. Next he pushed the fan onto the piston joint to the bicycle frame. With the help of his two best friends, Williambuilt a 16-foot-tall tower from trunks of trees and lifted the ninety-pound windmill to the top.The big moments eventually came. He climbed up the tower and connected two wires that held a small bulb. As the wind whipped around him, the blades began to turn, slowly at first, then faster and faster. The light bulb flickered (闪烁), then flashed to life. The crowd cheered from below. “Wachitabwina (well done)!”William’s machine now powered his house. And the story of the boy who’d built a power-generating windmill to rescue his family from the drought spread across the Internet.8. After readingUsing Energy, what did William decide to do?A. Make use of wind.B. Enter a high school.C. Build a village library.D. Learn to survive a drought.9. According to Para.3, which of the following word can best describe William?A. Humorous.B. Determined.C. Cooperative.D. Friendly.10. What can you learn about William’s machine?A. It was built by villagers.B. It worked at the first attempt.C. It took him years to complete it.D. It was made from metal materials.11. What is the besttitle for the passage?A. Winds Of HopeB. Ideas Worth SpreadingC. Learning from ExperienceD. Windmills for VillagesDAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism. Their critics(批评家)seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around. Why don’t they stop advertising andreduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays.The poor old consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn't forget is the “small ads.” What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column(栏目) but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It's the best advertisement for advertising there is!12. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Advertisements steal money from our pocketsB. The critics get the wrong idea of advertisements.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. Advertisements are everywhere.13. What is the attitude of the author toward advertisements?A. He appreciates the role of advertisements.B. He doubts the effect of advertisements.C. He believes what is said in advertisements.D. He complains too many advertisements in daily life.14. Which of the following is Not True?A. The personal or “agony” column makes us know more about human nature.B. The only purpose of advertising is to sell goods.C. A newspaper will cost us more if there is no advertisement on it.D. Advertisement makes our life color1 ful.15. Whicof the following shows the structure of the passage?( ①=" Paragraph" 1, ②=" paragraph" 2, ③=" paragraph" 3, ④=" paragraph" 4 ⑤=" paragraph" 5)A B.C.

Here are some steps to follow when preparing for the perfect video interview.Step 1: Start with the basicsBefore your interview, find out what platform or application the school uses for video interviews, and make sure that you know how to operate it.You need to set up a clear and focused interview environment. You also need a strong internet connection.Step 2: Get prepped (做好准备)Once the interview begins, resist the urge to watch yourself, and make sure you are looking at the camera as much as possible. Try to anticipate the questions that they will ask you. Interview questions all boil down to three basic categories:Tell us about yourself.What do you bring to our program/why should we admit you?Do you have any questions about the school?Before the interview, prepare at least two to three minutes on each of these topics.Step 3: PracticePractice your answers with a friend or mentor. Get them to ask you questions and answer them over video. If possible, work with a person who is fluent in the language of your interviewers, and get them to give you notes and comments about pronunciation or presentation.Step 4: Don’t just interview... converseInterviews are about getting to know you as a person and how well you can interact with others. Though you may have extensive notes, try to act natural - do not read directly from any prepared statements, and don’t memorize answers to repeat. Listening is just as critical as speaking in this situation, too. Make sure you understand the question that is posed to you and ask an interviewer to repeat it or expand upon it if you feel you are confused.36．In preparing for the perfect video interview, you need to ________.A．have quick access to the Internet B．know how to operate the interview C．fill out an application on the platform D．find a suitable environment for theinterview37．Once the interview begins, what should you keep in mind?A．Keeping quiet unless asked to talk.B．Making eye contact as much as possible. C．Expecting the questions that are often asked.D．Preparing answers on some of the questions.38．Which of the following is TRUE about Step 3?A．You should be fluent in the language of your interviewers.B．Practicing with your friend over the phone may be helpful.C．Practicing in advance may help improve your performance.D．Notes and comments from the interviewers are practical.39．When doing an interview, you ________.A．are supposed to memorize answers to repeat B．must ask the interviewers to explain the questionsC．can read prepared statements as naturally as you can D．should attach equal importance to listening as speaking40．Who is probably the author of the passage?A．An expert in university admissions.B．A visitor to different universities abroad. C．An editor in charge of a travel magazine.D．A student applying for universities overseas.I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college?” I was surprised and delighted recently when a student called David replied. “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when siting before the person who can make decisions about their academic future. “You see, my parents have never let me fail,” he said. “When I want to take a chance at something, they remind me it’s not a safe route to take. Taking a more challenging course or trying an activity I may not succeed in, they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission.”I wish I could tell you this is an uncommon story. Students are usually in shock when I tell them I never expect perfection. But these days finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. And this is supported by a secondary school culture where teachersare under pressure to give students nothing less than an A, and counselors are told not to report disciplinary infractions to colleges.Admission officers are digging deeper to find out who students really are outside of their medals or test scores. We get most excited when we read an application that seems real. It’s so rare to hear stories of defeat and win that when we do, we cheer. If their perspectives are of lessons learned or challenges overcome, these applicants tend to jump to the top of the heapat highly selective colleges. We believe an error in high school should not define the rest of your life, but how you respond could shape you forever.During my weekend of interviews, another student Jefferson told me, “I’m ashamed to admit I failed calculus, but I decided to take it again and got a B-plus. I will still take calculus, even though I don’t like it.” I asked him what he had learned from the experience. “I learned to let go of shame,” he said. “I realized that I can’t let a grade define my success. I also learned that if you want anything bad enough, you can achieve it.”I smiled as I wrote his words down on the application-review form. Apparently, he has the coping skills he needs to adjust to college life. Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college!41．What can we learn from David’s reply?A．He wanted to show he had never failed before.B．He wanted to prove he was an independent thinker.C．He wanted to set himself apart from other applicants.D．He wanted to try something new, even though he might fail.42．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply?A．Students lie about what they have achieved.B．Students list everything in their applications.C．Students just show their best in their applications.D．Students show good writing skills in their applications.43．Which of the following applications do admission officers like best?A．The one that shows a balance between life and study.B．The one that proves a student focuses on test scores less.C．The one that proves a student understands what college life is.D．The one that shows a student has struggled and overcome a barrier.44．How did the author feel about Jefferson’s interview?A．He didn’t care that Jefferson failed calculus.B．He appreciated Jefferson’s attitude to failure.C．He found Jefferson’s self-awareness impressive.D．He appreciated that Jefferson was open about college life.45．What does the author most likely want to tell us?A．Teachers should be responsible for helping students succeed.B．Students would benefit from the positive attitude to failure.C．Parents should try to keep their kids from suffering failure.D．Experiences of enough failure could shape students’ future.In 1965, three fathers in Washington faced a dilemma familiar to beleaguered (被困扰的) parents in 2021: How to keep their restless children entertained. They threw together wooden paddles, a badminton net and a plastic ball. The sport “pickleball” was born, with its name — according to one legend — originating from a dog named Pickle, which kept running away with the ball.Today, pickleball, which is a hybrid (混合物) of tennis, badminton and ping-pong, is the fastest-growing sport in America. In the five years to the end of 2019, pickleball participation grew by more than 7%, while Americans’ overall activity level stayed flat, according to the Sport & Fitness Industry Association. And the sport has picked up more swing definitely, thanks to COVID-19 in 2020. Last March, when quarantines (隔离期) went into effect and gyms were closed, portable pickleball nets temporarily sold out. Players set up courts, which are half the size of tennis courts, in driveways.The 3.5 million Americans who play pickleball are about one-tenth the number who golf and one-fifth the number who play tennis. Yet there are reasons to bet on the sport’s spread. Like many outdoor activities, pickleball is social, but it is easier to learn than tennis and faster and less expensive than golf. Country clubs and recreation centers across the country are changing some of their tennis courts into pickleball courts to meet demand. The more places there are to play, the more players will try the sport.“Pickleball was seen as a threat in the tennis community,” says Stu Upson of USA Pickleball, the sport’s national governing body, who used to work for the International Tennis Hall of Fame. But now, he insists, it is viewed as an opportunity. Tennis pros are addingpickleball lessons to their list. As more people take up the sport, demand for televised matches and sponsorships will increase. “It’s reasonable that pickleball could become an Olympic sport. But to be recognized by the International Olympic Committee, we need at least 70 countries with pickleball federations (联合会), so it’s not going to be in the next four or eight years,” says Mr. Upson.46．Why was pickleball invented initially?A．To afford children amusements.B．To provide special training for dogs. C．To reduce parents’ pressure of work.D．To help children build up their health. 47．What could be inferred from paragraph 2?A．Pickleball has achieved its dominance in sports market in America.B．Playing pickleball was the most popular sport in the US during the quarantine. C．Americans’ participation in sports except pickleball decreased from 2015 to 2019. D．Pickleball began to regain its popularity around the world due to COVID-19. 48．What’s the advantage of pickleball?A．Its playing skills are easy to master.B．It’s the first choice for people to socialize.C．It can replace other sports during COVID-19.D．Its courts could easily be altered from tennis courts.49．Which of the following might Mr. Upson agree with now?A．Pickleball is bound to have a place at the Olympics.B．Tennis will fade out with the rapid spread of pickleball.C．Pickleball remains to be a major threat to tennis community.D．It would take great efforts for pickleball to be selected for the Olympics.50．What is the passage mainly about?A．Great popularity of pickleball in America.B．The development of pickleball in America.C．The influence of pickleball on pecople’s lives.D．The threat of pickleball in the tennis community.Another year, another Nobel snub for every screenwriter there is. The Nobel Prize began in 1901, and 120 years later, no writer whose primary work is for the screen has been awarded the top literary prize on earth.In some ways, this makes sense. When the first Nobels were awarded, movies were still a new art form. Even now, film and screenwriting generally aren’t taken as seriously as their more honored literary cousins.But in other regards, screenplays are among the most-consumed forms of literature in existence, and movies are increasingly considered an outstanding art form. Moreover, the Swedish Academy’s Nobel Prize Committee has signaled its interest in awarding nontraditional forms of literature.Of course, many writers who’ve won Nobel Prizes also wrote screenplays, but none of those honorees worked first and foremost as screenwriters. William Faulkner, for example, wrote dozens of movies for Hollywood studios, but he was cited by the Swedes specifically for his “powerful and artistically unique contribution to the modern American novel”. Kazuo Ishiguro, likewise an occasional screenwriter, was singled out for his “novels of great emotional force”. Even Peter Handke, whose literature award is the closest the Swedish Academy uses to honor a screenwriter, was recognized as one of the greatest novelists of his generation.Some have argued screenwriting is simply too cooperative an art form for the Nobels to honor a single “author” of a film, especially since dialogue can be improvised by the actors on set. But fiction can also be wildly cooperative. It seems strange for screenwriters alone to be dismissed completely on this ground.Perhaps it still comes down to seriousness. The Nobel Prize in Literature has changed over the years. No longer can it award writers without fear of criticism — either for being too obscure, or too crowd-pleasing, or too controversial, or otherwise just plain disappointing. People would roll their eyes if a lowly screenwriter won the most renowned literary award in the world.Even so, it seems silly to give that explanation in 2021, when you can discover some of the year’s best writing on your TV After all, as film director Alfred Hitchcock once said, “To make a good film, you need three things: the scrip, the scrip, and the script.” And certainly, there have been good—great—films in the past 12 decades. Nobel recognition of their writers is long overdue.51．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．No screenwriter has been awarded the Nobel Prize.B．Few literary prizes recognize the efforts of screenwriters.C．Screenwriters have stayed as backstage heroes for a long time.D．The Nobel Prize fails to consider screenplays as literary works.52．Why does the author mention the three writers in paragraph 4?A．To awaken readers’ passion for literature.B．To make a comparison among literary giants.C．To show each writer’s contribution to literature.D．To stress their role as screenwriters was overlooked.53．What reason for screenwriters’ being snubbed by the Nobel Prize does the author support? A．A decline of excellent screenplays.B．The late start of the movie industry. C．A lack of seriousness in screenwriting.D．The difficulty in identifying honorees. 54．What do we know about screenwriting from the passage?A．Screenwriting came into existence long before movie did.B．People would feel it annoying to award Nobel Prize to screenwriting. C．Screenwriting as well as fiction has long been rejected in Nobel Prize. D．Screenwriting has been awarded Nobel Prize in Literature several times.55．What does the author intend to show in the last paragraph?A．Screenplays have improved a lot over the years.B．Good screenplays can still be found on television.C．The script determines the stand or fall of a movie.D．Good screenwriters should receive Nobel recognition.四、阅读表达阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

I was physically and emotionally exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression.The place was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits and a cat. She told me to focus on my body in the environment.When I was ill I tended to retreat into my mind and disconnect from here and now. So, when I met a horse named Fira, I expected nothing.As I got closer to Fira, she nuzzled (用鼻子爱抚)her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart. Something happened inside me: I felt as if I had reached a wellspring (源泉)of past hurts, fears and failings. I began to melt emotionally.I patted Fira's nose and breathed in her smell. I found I didn't have to concentrate on feeling better; Fira helped me feel loved and safe.I worked with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her. Initially, I wasn't sure exactly what one would do with a horse except riding it. But I knew that Fira had touched me in an uncommon way and had made me feel better. She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way.In my meetings with Fira, I found that I lost my usual self-consciousness and I would focus entirely on communicating.I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place. I learned to forget the past, with all its hurts. I learned to forget the future, which hasn't happened yet.

Anyone who fails to do so faces being taken to court and fined up to £1,000. Drones heavier than 250g already have to be registered with the CAA, which costs £9 and must be renewed annually, but the new measures extend this requirement to all devices, including the lightweight models that are used by hobbyist pilots.The move comes after sharp rise in the number of drones bought by enthusiasts or those operating them for commercial reasons, such as to inspect infrastructure or for photography and filming.However, the rise has prompted concerns over privacy, with fears that drones are being used to spy on private residences and other buildings. It has also led to an increase in the number of near-misses between drones and other aircraft, including commercial passenger jets. The latest figures show 531 near-misses involving drones were logged in the past decade, including 125 recorded in 2019.By law drones are supposed to be operated within an operator's line of sight. They have to remain below an altitude of 400ft to avoid interfering with aircraft and flown at least 164ft away from people and buildings. The government has already toughened up regulations in recent years. This includes requiring all operators to pass an online test before being allowed to fly devices. Other changes to the regulations include allowing drones that weigh up to 25kg to be operated, compared with a previous limit of 20kg.Devices will also fall into three new categories of risk --high, medium and low -- depending on how they will be flown. Low-risk drones, including those typically used by hobbyists, will have operational limitations but will not need authorisation （授权）for flights. Authorisation is needed for larger medium-risk and high-risk drone flights, which are typically carried out in more complex environments, including those beyond the operator's line of sight, which is banned under normal circumstances.Christian Struwe, the director of public policy, said of the new regulation: "It simplifies different processes and allows customers to travel from country to country without having to worry about different rules in different foreign locations.”46．Why must the drone owners register their devices?A．To protect their rights of flying drones.B．To avoid breaking the new regulations.C．To follow the rules not to invade others’ privacy.D．To make sure their drones meet the weight requirement.47．What does the underlined words in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Updated every day.B．Registered every year.C．Redesigned every year.D．Replaced every month.48．What is the potential danger drones probably cause?A．Drones will be used for commercial purposes.B．It is impossible to avoid being spied by drones.C．Operating drones requires higher qualification.D．Drones probably crash into passenger planes while in use.49．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A．Ways of operating drones.B．The requirements on drones.C．Online test on drone operators.D．Methods of making standard drones.50．What does the passage mainly focus on?A．How to make a standard drone.B．How drones are operated by enthusiasts.C．The negative effect of drones on people.D．The importance of registering the drones.These days, it's not unusual to see middle-aged men collecting Star Wars action figures, office workers wearing Hello Kitty accessories, or celebrities like David Beckham playing with Lego bricks. It's becoming more and more common to see adults taking an interest in toys, comic books and the activities that are traditionally associated with children. This phenomenon has given rise to a new word: kidult.What lies behind the phenomenon? One is about adults' nostalgia （怀旧之情）for the carefree days of childhood, and this is especially true with today's fast-paced, stressful lifestyles. Another is about a societal change in recent decades where people are starting families later. As a result, they have more time and money to spend on themselves. Some adults could only window-shop for their dream toys when they were kids, but now they can afford that radio controlled car or high-priced doll they have always wanted.Businesses have been quick to exploit the kidult trend, and the number of toy stores that target adults has risen. Companies are repackaging products from past decades and also bringing out new ones for adults. Lego, for example, has brought out an architectural series featuring landmarks from around the world.Society traditionally disapproves of adults who refuse to put aside childhood interests, viewing the refusal as a sign of social immaturity and irresponsibility. Those who agree with this view sometimes claim that kidults are suffering from the pop-psychology concept known as Peter Pan Syndrome, an anomaly （异常）that people remain emotionally at the level of teenagers. On a grander scale, these kidult opponents （对手）argue that such delayed adulthood causes couples to marry later and have fewer children. This in turn can lead to shrinking national economies, for there needs to be a generational replenishment （补充）of the workforce.From the standpoint of kidults, though, this phenomenon is seen as nothing but harmless fun. Kidults insist that having youthful interests keeps them young, happy and creative, and their refusal to conform to society's acceptable tastes shows independent thinking. Besides, they argue that being part of the social trend of delayed adulthood is not purely a personal choice. The real causes include expensive housing, increased educational requirements for employment and poor work opportunities.Whether the kidult phenomenon will continue to grow or prove to be a passing trend is anyone's guess. As the debate about it continues, remember that there is nothing wrong with being young at heart.51．What does the kidult phenomenon refer to?A．Adults act like children.B．Adults have child-like tastes.C．Adults go in for collecting toys.D．Adults like playing with children.52．Which of the following might cause the emergence of kidults?A．Different living conditions.B．More choices about toys.C．High pressure of modern life.D．Good memories of childhood.53．What does the underlined word “exploit” probably mean?A．Get used to.B．Look forward to.C．Take advantage of.D．Make way for.54．How does the text deal with the debate about kidults?A．By strongly opposing kidult opponents.B．By convincing readers to accept kidults.C．By refusing to take a stand on the issue.D．By presenting both sides of the argument.55．What can we infer about the author's attitude towards the phenomenon from the last paragraph?A．Doubtful. B．Positive.C．Disapproving. D．Uncaring.四、阅读表达阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
2021届高三英语一模试题及参考答案
2021 届高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分30 分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项ADuring ancient times, children didn’t have smartphones, iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet. In 1999, the sport was included in the 6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite , Weifang kite and Nantong kite, of which each has distinctive features. The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease( 戏弄) him or, more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center. By juggling( 边抛边接) the diabolo on the rope, the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle. Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game, especially popular in North China. Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产).1.W hy did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A.To practice their feet.B.To warm themselves.C.To train their skills.D.To relax themselves.2.W hich kites are swallow-shaped?A.Weifang kites.B.Tianjin kites.C.Beijing kites.D.Nantong kites.3.Why does playing diabolos make a sound?A.B ecause the diabolo’s center is empty.B.B ecause the high-speed spinning diabolo is light.C.B ecause the diabolo is equipped with a whistle.D.B ecause ropes’ surface moves against the diabolo’s.BWhena person in the United States gets the COVID -19 vaccine ( 疫苗), the person receives a small piece of paper called a “COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card”.It is a piece of paper with the logo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, and the name and date of the vaccine. Because it is so simple, it could be easy to fake.Many people in theU.S.are still unsure about getting the vaccine. As universities, workplaces and other places are requiring proof of vaccination, some people are now buying fake vaccination cards without getting a shot.The Associated Press reports that students and teachers at universities around theU.S.are worried about fake cards. Sellers are using social media apps like Instagram to advertise fake vaccination cards. The prices range from $25 to $200. The AP notes that many college students seem interested in buying the cards. On the site Reddit, one person wrote, “I need one, too, for college. I refuse to be a guinea pig.”It is reported that more than 700 universities and colleges require proof of vaccination. Most schools simply ask their students to take a photo of their card and send it to a school website. Benjamin Mason Meier is a professor at theUniversityofNorth CarolinaatChapel Hill, UNC. He studies international health policy. He said, unlike some countries, theU.S.is not using a digital system to record vaccine status. He said theU.S.is depending on “aflimsypaper card”, and students have told him they knew of others who had used fake vaccination cards. Rebecca Williams also works at UNC. She is a researcher at the school’s Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. She said she was not surprised that people were worried about fake vaccination cards. “This is why I think the development of a re liable national digital vaccine passport app is very important,” she said.There is a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards. If someone uses the CDC logo without permission, they can be lined and punished by up to five years in prison. The U.S. Department of Justice recently charged a person inCaliforniawith making fake vaccination cards.College students who already have the vaccine are criticizing those who would rather spend money to buy a fake than get a free shot. Maliha Reza is an electrical engineering student atPennsylvaniaStateUniversity, Shecalled those students “dumb”. “I’m angry about that,” she said. “Like, there is more anger than I could describe now.”4.Why do some college students buy fake vaccination cards?A.They are easy to get.B.Many Americans are still uncertain about getting the vaccine.C.Students have an interest in the fake vaccination cards.D.To get a vaccine shot is expensive.5.Which of the following measures can NOT be used to stop the fake cards?A.Having a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards.B.Developing a reliable national digital vaccine passport app.ing a digital system to record vaccine status.D.Having all the students take a photo of their vaccination card and send it to the school website.6.What does the underlined word “flimsy” probably mean?A.Weak.B.

But for the British -born actor, the bright lights and attraction ofHollywoodwere a long way away. Supported by his secretary mother and stockbroker father, he decided to study drama during high school. His journey to super star began.Before gaining the international recognition he has now, Cavill tried out for roles in the Harry Potter and Twilight series but failed to get either. He would have to keep waiting for his big chance.Determined as ever, Cavill took any acting jobs he could get his hands on and appeared in several low-budget horror movies and TV shows in hopes of getting noticed. It almost worked. In the early 2000s, at just 22 years old,he narrowly missed out on becoming the new James Bond. Finally, in 2007, his hard work paid off. He won a leading role as the first Duke of Suffolk in the period showThe Tudors. The TV show was very popular and helpedto raise Cavill's popularity inAmerica.In 2011, Cavil landed his breakout role, playing Superman in the DC Extended Universe. He hasn't looked back and has since starred in many hit films, such asMission: Impossible- Fallout.More recently, he stepped back on to the small screen. Since 2019, he has starred in the popular seriesThe Witcher, adapted from the book series and video games of the same name. In the TV show, Cavill played a brave monster hunter named Geralt of Rivia, which was the perfect role for Cavill because he was a fan of the video games. Cavill also got a chance to play a classic English character — master detective Sherlock Holmes — in2020'sEnola Holmes.However, Cavill isn't just a good guy on screen. His charity work also makes him a real -life hero. In 2014, he took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge while wearing his full Superman suit to support the ALS Association. Currently, he is an ambassador for the UK's Royal Marines Charity, which supports war veterans ( 退伍军人). Why does he do it? He love to make people feel good and bring smiles to people' faces. Indeed, Henry Cavill in living proof that you don't always need to wear a cape (斗篷) to act like a hero.8.Why did Cavil act in low-budget film and TV works early in his career?A.He was too polite to refuse.B.He was hoping to get noticed.C.He was encouraged to do so by his parents.D.He was friends with the directors of the projects.9.The role of the monster hunter was the perfect for Cavill because .A.he had experienced hunting monstersB.he had played the same role in a movieC.he knew the writer of the books personallyD.he enjoyed the video games that the show was rooted in10.Which of the following words can best describe Cavill?A. Modest and friendly.B. Determined and kind.C. Talented and faithful.D. Honest and considerate.11.What made Cavill a real-life hero?A.Being a successful actor.B.Playing Superman on screen.C.Devoting to charities.D.Wearing a cape to take part in activities.DFor as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—selfimprovement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of selfreflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of selfhatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.12.What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A.She could change her weight at will.B.She had different beauty standards from others.C.She tried to love others to build her confidence.D.She was greatly influenced by others' opinions.13.Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”?A.She was poorly disciplined.B.She failed to celebrate “skinny”．C.She was labelled as lazy for her weight.D.She put on more weight after entering adulthood.14.What caused the author to make a change?A. Her lighter body.B. A troublesome illness.C. Popular beauty standards.D. Others' critical comments.15.What is the best title for the text?A. Beauty matters.B. Opinions vary.C. Worth your weight.D. Beyond your limits.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。

blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Back to the Hanfu-ture:Young Chinese Revive Ancient FashionDressed in a flowing long robe decorated with beaded floral embroidery from a bygone era,stylist Xiao Hang looks like she surfaced from a time machine as she strides across the bustling Beijing metro,attracting curious glances and inquisitive questions.China has___41___Western fashion

B.signal C.reproduction D.foundation55.A.nation B.unity C.people D.integritySection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Most economists were against the idea of Britain leaving the European Union,but perhaps few felt so strongly about it.However,in a poll conducted prior to the vote by Times Higher Education,a trade paper,nine in ten university staff said they would vote to Remain.At University College London(UCL),where one in ten students comes from the EU,the mood after the result was one of“deep shock,grief and then concern,”says Michael Arthur,the university’s president.British universities are home to students from all corners:Europeans make up6%of the total;another14% come from the rest of the world.As a result of EU rules,the former are treated like home students,meaning that in England their fees are capped at£9,000a year and they have access to state-provided loans.By contrast,there are no limits on fees for students from the rest of the world.A geography degree at Oxford costs non-EU students £22,430a year.But life will soon get trickier for universities.The big issue is whether EU students will continue to have access to loans,says Mr.Mian.Withdrawing the loans from EU students,however,would risk a big drop in their number,which could cause a50-75%fall in the number of EU students at UCL.Others point out that under such a situation universities probably would be free to charge higher fees to EU students,as they currently do for non-Europeans.That may help,says Richard Shaw,head of education at Grant Thornton,an accounting firm,but it seems unlikely that any increase in fees would be sufficient to make up for the fall in student numbers.Those numbers could drop further if foreign students are put off by the referendum (公民投票)result,which some have interpreted as a sign of hostility towards migrants in general.Brexit(脱欧)comes at an awkward time for universities.Many have borrowed money to fund expansion, following the government’s decision in2013to lift the cap on the number of students that English universities were able to accept.Some might now find their new lecture halls less full than they had hoped.Most countries do all they can to lure students from around the world,including seeking to attract the best lecturers.That is sensible:some students stick around,boosting the economy;others return home with fond memories of the country where they spent their early adulthood.All of them pay for the privilege.Immigration restrictions on non-EU students have already done considerable harm to higher education.It is likely that Britishuniversities will suffer once again.56.What does the underlined word“capped”in Paragraph2mean?A.Restricted.B.Imposed.C.Covered.D.Overlooked.57.Which of the following is NOT the influence Brexit will have on British universities?A.The fall in the number of EU students.B.The negative emotions from foreign students.C.The waste of the expansion of the universities.D.The inevitably rising fees the universities will charge.58.What can we infer from the passage?A.Owing to the EU rules,non-EU students are charged more than EU students.B.Studying abroad makes no difference to the students who return home at last.pared with the loss of students,British universities will suffer more from the decline in fees.D.Britain’s foreign policy didn’t take the long-term development of its universities into consideration.59.What does this passage mainly talk about?A.Universities’tricks in drawing foreign students.B.Brexit,the worst decision made by the government.C.Academics’fear of a drying up of students and money.D.The urgent measures to balance education and politics.(B)A familiar voice is just few digits away from you.Whether you prefer high-tech options or more traditional landlines,there are affordable ways to call home when you travel abroad,even if you don’t carry an internationally-capable cellphone.Repaid Calling CardsRepaid calling cards provide the ultimate in flexibility:they can be used from mostlocations,including pay phones,cell phones and landlines.But not all calling cardsare equal,especially pare the rate options associated with differentcards,whether you buy them before you travel or on the road.Some charge a pre-connection fee as well as a per minute fee,for example.Callback ServiceAs the name suggests,these services call you and then place your call at cheaperrates.You initiate the call by dialing a“trigger number–a connection to thecall-back service’s computers.Let the call ring once and then hang up.Thecomputer calls you back from the United States using lower international rates and makes the connection after verifying your account number.Often cheaper than direct-dial calls,but the services may not work at hotels,where staff may not accept the return calls.The service is welcome to those who make lots of international calls.Voice Over Internet Protocol(VoIP)VoIP works by digitalizing your voice and sending it via the Internet to the personyou’re calling,who hears it on his PC speakers,or by routing it through regulartelephone lines to anyone’s standard phone line.VoIP services generally work bestwith a broadband or wireless Internet connection and can be used from hotelrooms,Internet cafes or wireless hot spots if you have a notebook computer.Sincemost calls use the Internet,and connections into and out of the Internet are typically local calls,the rates are astonishing low.60.According to the passage,if computer technology is not available,travelers are advised to call by_______.ndlineB.repaid calling cardC.callback serviceD.pay phone61.What is focused on in the callback service?A.Making a phone call as brief as possible.B.Taking advantage of the hotel phone call service.C.Saving on calls by calling from home.ing the bank account for call pay in any country.62.The passage is mainly intended to__________.A.offer tips to travelers on how to call home for lessB.help travelers find the easiest way to call back homeC.introduce the optional approaches to family connectionD.advise travelers to call home through broadband or wireless Internet(C)The U.S.Postal Service(USPS)continues to bleed red ink.It reported a net loss of$5.6billion for fiscal 2016,the10th straight year its expenses have exceeded revenue.Meanwhile,it has more than$120billion in unfunded liabilities,mostly for employee health and retirement costs.There are many bankruptcies. Fundamentally,the USPS is in a historic squeeze between technological change that has permanently decreaseddemand for its bread-and-butter product,first-class mail,and a regulatory structure that denies management the flexibility to adjust its operations to the new reality.And interest groups ranging from postal unions to greeting-card makers exert self-interested pressure on the USPS’s ultimate overseer-Congress-insisting that whatever else happens to the Postal Service,aspects of the status quo they depend on get protected.This is why repeated attempts at reform legislation have failed in recent years,leaving the Postal Service unable to pay its bills except by deferring vital modernization.Now comes word that everyone involved--Democrats,Republicans,the Postal Service,the unions and the system's heaviest users—has finally agreed on a plan to fix the system.Legislation is moving through the House that would save USPS an estimated$28.6billion over five years,which could help pay for new vehicles,among other survival measures.Most of the money would come from a penny-per-letter permanent rate increase and from shifting postal retirees into Medicare.The latter step would largely offset the financial burden of annually pre-funding retiree health care,thus addressing a long-standing complaint by the USPS and its union.If it clears the House,this measure would still have to get through the Senate–where someone is bound to point out that it amounts to the bare,bare minimum necessary to keep the Postal Service afloat,not comprehensive reform.There’s no change to collective bargaining at the USPS,a major omission considering that personnel accounts for80percent of the agency’s costs.Also missing is any discussion of eliminating Saturday letter delivery.That common-sense change enjoys wide public support and would save the USPS$2billion per year.But postal special-interest groups seem to have killed it,at least in the House.The emerging consensus around the bill is a sign that legislators are getting frightened about a politically embarrassing short-term collapse at the USPS.It is not,however,a sign that they’re getting serious about transforming the postal system for the 21st century.63.The financial problem with the USPS is caused partly by__________.A.its unbalanced budgetB.its rigid managementC.the cost for technical upgradingD.the withdrawal of bank support64.The long-standing complaint by the USPS and its unions can be addressed by__________.A.removing its burden of retiree health careB.making more investment in new vehiclesC.adopting a new rate-increase mechanismD.attracting more first-class mail users65.In the last paragraph,the author seems to view legislators with__________.A.respectB.toleranceC.discontentD.gratitude66.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.The USPS Starts to Miss Its Good Old Days.B.The Postal Service:Keep Away from My Cheese.C.The USPS:Chronic Illness Requires a Quick Cure.D.The Postal Service Needs More than a Band-Aid.Section CDirections:Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Could you ever get too much of a good thing?B.Most governments urge people to do a little every day,or at least spread their exercise over the week.C.Having a busy weekend with three or four hours spent taking exercise does more good than thought.D.However,take care not to do too much exercise.E.The WHO’s definition of moderate exercise includes housework and gardening.F.But what do you actually have to do to get those results?How and when should I exercise?The benefits of exercise have been duly noted and your resolutions have been made.Yes,you want to be fit and live a long and healthy life.___67___According to standard advice issued by the World Health Organization,adults should be getting at least150 minutes of moderate physical activity or75minutes of vigorous activity per week to extend their lives,get fit, have stronger muscles and be a healthy weight.If that didn’t already sound a lot,the WHO ways to double that if you want to get further benefits.The good news for those who dislike sports is that it’s possible to stick to these guidelines without entering a gym or breaking into a jog.___68___This idea fits with evidence from a study last year of more than130,000people in17countries,which found that walking to work and housework such as vacuuming or mopping the floor are activities enough to reduce the risk of early death by28per cent,as long as you do150minutes a week.If you aren’t one for housework,you will be pleased to hear that your weekly amount of exercise can be put into the weekend with no ill effects,says Gray Donovan of Loughborough University,UK.___69___But his team analysed data from more than63,000 adults in the UK covering18years and found that people who favoured a“weekend fighter”plan had pretty much the same reduced risk of early death from all causes as those who spread out exercise.“One weekly exercise is usually sufficient to reduce mortality and morbidity（死亡率和发病率）,”Donovan says.Even weekend fighters who did less than the recommended amount for the week fared better than inactive people.___70___“No level of exercise is too much,”says Donovan.“There’s no increase in mortality or morbidity if you keep increasing the amount.”Just don’t go too hard each time.第II卷(50分)IV.SummaryDirections:Reading the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage with no more e your own words as far as possible.When Is the Mona Lisa Not the Mona Lisa?How many Mona Lisa paintings do you think there are in the world today?Just the one?I don't think so.The truth is that there are probably many,many Mona Lisa's hanging on walls or in studios.Of course only one was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci but the art of copying is very common in the art world.In fact,it is true to say that artists have been copying from other artists for hundreds if not thousands of years. Traditionally,it was normal for artists to copy other artists’paintings.This was a way of making sure historical, religious and artistic traditions were available for future generations.It was considered normal for an artist in training to practise by copying the work of other great artists.Historically,the purpose of art was for historical or religious reference.Most of the time no one cared who painted the paintings.This is why we find it difficult to identify the artists behind some of the greatest older paintings.Paintings were usually commissioned by the church or state,not by individuals so the name of the artist was really unimportant.However,from around the16th century the church and state became poorer and money found its way into the hands of rich individuals.These individuals,as a means of showing their place in society or a knowledge of art, drastically increased the demand for art.Suddenly more and more artists were needed and people competed to buy the paintings of certain individual artists.These created people whose job it was to buy and sell paintings.It also created galleries and auction houses.Suddenly art was a business and at its centre was money.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.那家网红面包店其它都好，就是位置有点偏。

Do we need to make swimming compulsory in schools? Forum readers share their opinions.White Bear (Poland)In Poland swimming lessons are not compulsory, but most of the schools have them. I think that when it is only possible—there should be the swimming lessons for kids. It is a lifesaving skill.Mister Panda (France)I come from France where swimming lessons in school are compulsory. I even got my lifesaving certificate in school.Jet Feng (China)As a boy born in a rural area, I learnt swimming in a river near my home when I was 7 or 8 years old. I used to play in the river with boys my same age every summer, which was also the only entertainment we could make at that time, but we enjoyed it so much! I just learnt how to dog paddle because no one taught us. Until I entered university, I got a chance to enhance my swimming skills in PE lessons. Compared with my classmates, I felt lucky because most of them couldn't swim.I think it's a good idea for schools to teach students to swim. But as a matter of fact, not every school in China has the conditions to do that. In some less-developed areas, there is not even a swimming pool.Boilermaker21 (Expat in China)There are swimming lessons in my city, but I was very disappointed in how they were taught. The kids spent 45 minutes of the one-hour lesson practicing strokes ON DRY LAND．They only spent 15 minutes in the water. All of the children panicked and sank immediately to the bottom. Then all of the parents berated the children, telling them that they weren't paying attention to the teacher and that they were failures.Cecilia Zhang (China)It is a pity that many Chinese athletes won world championships in swimming while most schools don't have the swimming facilities. Swimming is an essential lifesaving skill that everyone should access to. The earlier, the better. The government needs to put moneyinto the popularity of the sport.36．What can be concluded from White Bear's opinion?A．In Poland, swimming lessons must be given at school.B．In Poland, the swimming sport is very popular.C．Most of the schools have swimming pools in Poland.D．In Poland, students are required to swim every day.37．What do we know about Jet Feng when he was a child?A．He didn't know how to swim.B．He was brought up .1n a city.C．He lived a colorful life in his childhood.D．He didn't receive formal swimming training.38．How did Boilermaker21 feel about the swimming lessons in his city? A．Disappointed.B．Satisfied.C．Excited.D．Bored. 39．What can be indicated from Cecilia Zhang's words?A．Chinese athletes won world championship in swimming events.B．Chinese schools have not paid any attention to the swimming lessons.C．The government hasn’t spent enough money on the popularity of the sport.D．It is a pity that few Chinese athletes won world championships in swimming.40．In which section of the newspaper can you find the passage?A．Entertainment.B．Advertisement.C．Education.D．Technology.Pandas are not only a national treasure, but are loved around the world.Recently, a giant panda cub born in August at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, US, was given the name Xiao Qi Ji, which is translated into English as “little miracle”. The choice was the result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US. Interestingly, National Public Radio said that in a nod to Chinese tradition, the name was not chosen until 100 days after the birth.This cub’s birth proved to be quite inspiring - and at a time when inspiration was truly needed.“Xiao Qi Ji’s birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic (疫情)，” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in a video congratulatory message. “ We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador, and in our shared joy and friendship.”The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in the country’s diplomacy, known as “ panda diplomacy (外交)”.According to the Japanese Royal Annual, the practice dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor.China revived panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them have died. China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. Instead, the animals are loaned to other countries. In general, they are to be returned to China after 10 years.But why do these cute “diplomats” find it hard to survive in other countries? According to Xinhua, their dietary habit is one significant reason. Their nutrition mostly comes from bamboo shoots. Adult giant pandas consume about 40 kilograms of bamboo daily. Pandas can also be quite picky. They refuse to eat bamboo shoots after they have blossomed.It takes 10 years for a new crop of bamboo to mature, and many countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo growth. This means that food has to be imported In August, Calgary Zoo in Canada announced that due to pandemic-related changes in its import laws and quarantine methods, they couldn’t provide enough fresh bamboo for pandas. This meant that they had to send two giant pandas back to China.But countries are still trying their best to facilitate this special type of diplomacy. “We don’t own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange.” Steven Monfort, director of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, told China Daily.41．The expression “in a nod to” in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to________.A．in praise for B．in response to C．in favor of D．in order to observe42．Why China decided that pandas are only loaned to other countries?A．Because the pandas’ dietary habit was significantly changed abroad.B．Because the pandas couldn’t have bamboo to eat in other countries.C．Because most of pandas could not be adapted to the climate abroad.D．Because most of the pandas sent to other countries couldn’t survive.43．What can we learn from the text?A．It was the first time that China had sent a panda to Japan.B．The practice “panda diplomacy” dales from the Tang Dynasty.C．China began panda diplomacy, sending two pandas to Moscow Zoo.D．Two giant pandas had to be returned because they were sick in Canada.44．What Steven Monfort’s attitude towards the special type of diplomacy? A．Favorable.B．Uncaring.C．Disapproving.D．Doubtful. 45．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To tell us how to feed pandas properly.B．To call on people to love pandas in the world.C．To introduce the furry black and white ambassador.D．To explain why “panda diplomacy” is stopped.A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a quashing of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may softer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institution should be created for senior daises, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.46．What is the passage mainly about?A．The problems faced by the old in society.B．Why we should take responsibility for the old.C．How we can improve the lives of the old.D．Where the old can go to get their pensions.47．According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?A．Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.B．Increase savings levels of people during their working years.C．Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.D．Make available pensions for those who have retired.48．The underlined word “viable” most probably means “ ”.A．impossible B．practicalC．useful D．successful49．What can be concluded from the passage?A．Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.B．Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.C．Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.D．There is no single solution to the problems of the old.50．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?A．To point out the need for government supped for old people.B．To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.C．To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.D．To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.Most of us still have lots of photographs sitting around from the days when we used cameras, not telephones, to take pictures. There are probably many photos that we do not look at and may never see again. But these images, representing memories from our past, do not have to be lost. Google has create a tool to help bring these forgotten pictures back to life invery high quality.The PhotoScan app works the same as an image scanner. But this software program uses the camera on your phone to capture images as digital copies, which is a quick and easy way to save old photos without having to spend money on new equipment. The PhotoScan app uses new technology to improve the capturing process, which makes it possible to take a picture of a photo with a camera phone, without glare, a common problem.After opening the app, the user first puts the desired photo within the camera’s frame. When this is done, four small circles appear in different places over the photo. The user then moves the phone over each of the circles, which change color after the process completes. That’s it! The app finds the edges of the photo, straightens the image, and puts it in the right position while removing glare. From this point, the pictures can easily be saved to the Google Photos app or somewhere else. If you do have Google Photos, images are organized by face or place and can easily be found.The release of PhotoScan came at the same time as some changes to the Google Photos app. One change is an improved auto tool that Google says creates high-quality effects in just one step. Another tool lets users choose from 12 different looks to improve overall photo quality. The third provides high-level controls for changing light and colors.Anil Sabharwal, the Vice President of Google Photos, explained why he created PhotoScan. In 1947, his parents lived under British colonial rule in India and were ordered to leave their home with only a few belongings. They decided to leave behind jewelry and other valuables, but gathered up as many photos as they could take.51．What can we know about the PhotoScan app?A．It is new equipment used to scan images.B．It can adjust the angle of cameras by moving four small circles.C．Users can use it to take digital photos.D．Using it to photograph pictures won’t have glare.52．In the third paragraph, the author mentions ____________.A．how to use the PhotoScan app B．where to find Google Photos. C．what the benefits of the app are D．why the new app can benefit us 53．What is the advantage of Google Photo according to the passage?A．It provides various styles that users can select from to improve the appsB．Users can easily find the desired picture through the photographing place.C．The changed storage space is bigger than before.D．It stores most pictures captured by PhotoScan.54．What can we infer about Anil Sabharwal from the last paragraph?A．He got the idea for PhotoScan from his family’s experiences.B．His parents helped him a lot while in India.C．British colonial rule forced him to make PhotoScan.D．His family’s poverty promotes him to create PhotoScan55．The purpose of the passage is to__________.A．persuade us to use the PhotoScan app.B．tell us a new Google app brings old photographs back to life.C．remind us of the pictures representing memories from our past.D．offer some suggestions for Google to improve its new app.四、阅读表达阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

德州市2021届高三下学期一模英语试题第一部分阅读（共两节满分50分）第一节（共15小题;每小题2. 5分,满分37. 5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AWe always enjoy pointing out some unusual holidays to add to your calendar. Now jot these down, learn something new and have fun!Random Acts of Kindness Day （February 17）If you have encountered a homeless person and given money, that's a random act of kindness. The idea of this day is to get lots of people doing something kind for someone they don't know with no expectation of getting anything in return. This concept is trickier with social distancing but even a big smile and a “hi!’’ from across the street qualifies.I Forgot Day （July 2）Did you forget to call Grandma on her birthday or return that soccer ball you borrowed from a friend three months ago? Today is a good day to clean the slate. Make a list of things you meant to do but forgot. Work through the list, and don't get discouraged if you don't accomplish everything in one day. Just remember to keep the list in. a place where you'll see it. Otherwise, you know what will happen.DOGust First （August 1）If your family is one of the many that adopted dogs from animal shelters last year, you may not know, for example, Luna or Cooper's actual birthday. The North Shore Animal League thought of that problem in 2008 and picked today as the birthday of all shelter dogs. Give your pup extra love today, and consider what you can do to help other sheller dogs.World Vegetarian Day （October 1）It’s not hard to go without meat for one day, but how about one month? The North American Vegetarian Society asks people to help reduce greenhouse gases by pledging to cat no meat, fish or fowl （basically chicken or turkey）in October. The pledge is tricky for kids to make on their own because Mom and Dad are usually in charge of preparing meals. Ask them if you can participate or if the whole family could try it. You will probably be surprised about how many tasty meals are meatless.1. Which can be described as a random act of kindness?A. John accepted a new job for a better salary.B. Mr. Robert told a story in the lecture today.C. The Smiths drove their children to school.D. Sally said “hello” to a stranger in the lift.2. What does the author mean by the last sentence in “I Forgot Day”?A. You may forget your to-do list.B. You may finish all the tasks earlier.C. You may miss the chance to celebrate.D. You may make up with your friends.3. Which may you choose to have a birthday party for your pup?A. February 17.B. July 2.C. August 1.D. October l.【答案】1.D 2. A 3. C【1题详解】细节理解题。

She never got a speeding ticket. One day while driving, she was so attracted by singing along to the radio that she didn’t notice how close she was getting to a mailbox. Then with a bang, she hit s omeone’s mailbox.After realizing what she had done, she quickly exited the car to see the damage. The whole side mirror was off, and the mailbox was destroyed. My mom didn’t know whose mailbox it was, but knew she must tell the owner. She walked up to the door, her heart beating fast. She debated over and over whether she should ring that doorbell or just go to work and pretend that this had never happened.Just then, an old lady opened the door, glancing at the tears down from my mom’s face and at the destroyed mailbox. she understood exactly what had happened. So when my mom was trying to explain, the lady interrupted her and asked her if she would like to come in. My mom, unable to put any words together, simply nodded her head.The lady told her not to worry about the mailbox, because it was an accident. My mom had been babysitting all summer long, so she offered to repay the lady. The lady refused, saying my mother would need that money for replacing the car’s mirror. The lady also said that she h ad been looking for an excuse to get rid of that mailbox, which, my mom knew, was really a kind excuse. The lady then brought out the best chocolate chip cookies and tea that my mom has ever had. My mom was grateful for the old lady’s kindness. She helped my mom save money, for my mom had to give lots of her savings in order to fix her car.When my mom told me this story, I couldn’t believe it. My perfect mom hit a mailbox.

Well, they are doing this to check their blind spots! Blind spots make driving extremely difficult and increase the potential for car accidents.Fourteen-year-old Alaina Gassler from Pennsylvania noticed her mother struggling with blind spots while driving their family car. So she came up with an ingenious solution that won the first place and $25,000 in the Broadcom Masters Competition.Blind spots are the areas around the car that cannot be directly observed by the driver. There are two kinds of blind spots—on the back of the car that cannot be seen with mirrors, and blind spots at the front of the car as well.When a driver is changing lanes, he has to look over his shoulder through the side windows to make sure that there is no vehicle in the blind spot. This invisible area is big enough to hide a car!The other blind spot is created in the front by the A-pillar (柱子) —the material on either side on the windshield (挡风玻璃) that holds the glass and forms the frame of the car. In some cars, this pillar can be quite thick. Usually, people or cyclists can be hidden by this pillar.Alaina’s design was to get rid of the blind spot created by the front A-pillar of the car, the one that helps hold up the windshield.She put a camera on the outside passenger side of the car which then sent the photos to a projector above the driver’s h ead. Then, shecovered the inside of the pillar in a reflective fabric onto which the image was projected. Basically, her device made the pillar “see through” and removed the blind spot on that side of the car.Alaina’s solution is very creative and coul d be improved by using LCD displays that will make it easier to see during day time as well.28.What can be learned about blind spots during driving?A.They call for careful driving.B.They make driving thrilling.C.They are many in kinds.D.They can’t be get rid of.29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ingenious” in paragraph 2?A.interestingB.creativeC.inspiringD.invisible30.How did Alaina solve the problem?A.By improving the A-pillar.B.By using a mirror on the outside of the A-pillar.C.By using a camera to capture images.D.By relying on LCD displays.31.What’s the best title for the text?A.An Introduction to Blind SpotsB.A Warning About the Road SafetyC.A Scientific Research on Blind SpotsD.A Teen’s Creative Solution to Blind SpotsDAn estimated 60 percent of cats and 50 percent of dogs in the U.S. are overweight or obese, so chances are that your pet needs to lose weight rather than pack on some pounds. It’s not always easy to tell if your pet could afford to lose a few, but there are some other signs that can tip you off. One important factor: the waist. “Most people don’t know what a normal cat should look like,” says Romine. “But cats should have waists, too.” The vet says you should be able to feel your pet’s ribs (肋骨) through its coat, and when you look down at them, they should have an hourglass (沙漏) shape—just like a person.“For some overweight pets, you may want to switch to a new food entirely; foods with ‘light’ or ‘healthy weight’ labels usually have an incr eased fiber content to help the dog or cat feel fuller,” Romine notes. “Another option is to feed them less of the food they currently eat,” Freeman suggests. “Make sure you’re reducing table scraps (残羹剩饭) and high-calorie treats like pet biscuits,” she sa ys.It’s important to figure out what your pet’s ideal weight is as you’re helping them to lose. Romine advises working with your vet to getthe right number, and if you’re following the portion guidelines often printed on food labels, feed them the amount of food associated with the weight you want them to be, rather than the weight they currently are.Food isn’t the only factor that can impact your pet’s weight. Romine stresses the importance of exercise in keeping your pet healthy. For cats, just 10 minutes of indoor play each day can make a difference. For dogs, letting them out in the backyard to do their business is not enough. You’ll have to exercise with your dog to really get them moving.32.What is the problem with the pet from the text?A.It needs to lose weight.B.It needs to have waists.C.It needs to pack on pounds.D.It needs to be more energetic.33.Which food can help overweight pets?A.The food with an decreased fiber.B.The food from table scraps.C.The food with “light” labels.D.The food with a new label.34.What is an important factor to keep pets healthy?A.A partner.B.Protein.C.Pet biscuits.D.Exercise.35.From which is the text probably taken?A.A biology textbook.B.A pet magazine.C.A recipe book.D.A travel brochure.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
