2019-2020学年成都市七中育才学校高三英语一模试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
“Why do I feel cold when I have a fever?” “Why does the sun rise in the east?” I knew the day would come when my little girl Sophie would learn to talk and inevitably (不可避免地) start askingthose questions. The questions themselves weren’t worrying me. I was actually looking forward to seeing where her curiosity would lie.
What was bothering (烦恼) me was whether or not I would know the answers. In the age of the smartphone, this may seem like a silly worry. The answers to almost everything would be just one Google away.
Still, I struggled with how I was going to prepare to become an all-knowing mother. Then one day, it struck me: I didn’t need to have all the answers. What a great example I could set if I let my daughter know that I, too, was still learning. And I realized how much more I could learn if I took another look at things I thought I already knew the answer to with the curiosity of a child. My little girl’s mind is a beginner’s mind--- curious, open to new ideas, eager to learn, and not based on knowledge that already exists. I decided that I would deal with her questions with a beginner’s mind, too.
Once I decided to become more curious, I started noticing that curiosity was becoming more important in the workplace, too. It seems that leaders don't need to have all the answers, but they do need to be curious.
Curious about curiosity, I searched for answers and found Albert Einstein’s famous words, “I have no special talent. I am only passionately (热情地) curious.” We mightquibble overthe view that Einstein had no special talent, but there is one thing for certain---he wouldn't have solved the puzzles of the universe without his passionate curiosity. Then I came across another Einstein quote, “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason or existence.”
1. The advantage of having a beginner’s mind is that ________.
A. people can learn much faster.
B. people won't be afraid to make mistakes.
C. people are willing to receive new things.
D. people won't be expected to answer all questions.
2. What does the example of Einstein’s words show?
A. Einstein was passionate about curiosity.
B. Einstein’s quotes are very famous.
C. Curiosity is of great significance.
D. Curiosity is more necessary than talent.
3. What does the underlined phrase “quibble over” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Fight against.
B. Argue about.
C. Work out.
D. Agree with
B
Some people take their holiday decoration very seriously. And some take it to the next level. The Griffith family in Kenova, West Virginia, is in this camp. They put on a display that shows they’re just filled with Halloween spirit.
Each year, this family displays 3,000 pumpkins (南瓜) in front of their home for the Halloween season. Yes, you readthatright. Ric Griffith puts out one jack-o’ -lantern (南瓜灯) for every person who lives in Kenova.
Of course he doesn’t do it all on his own. He has a lot of help from his family, and also from members of the community who are super-proud of what has become quite the tourist attraction over the years. More than 30,000 people stop by to see the amazing display, which includes jack‑o’‑lanterns cut to look like the faces of famous people, animals, cartoon characters, and other creative designs. It’s certainly a must-see as part of the area’s Ceredo-Kenova Autumnfest.
To fit in all 3,000 pumpkins, Griffith and his helpers spread them across the home’s garden and front porch (门廊), as well as on the roof!
Griffith began the tradition back in 1978 with just fivepumpkins and, many years later, it’s much bigger and better. People can’t help but come to the area, walking along the sidewalk outside the house to get that perfect Halloween experience.
“Locals take great pride in it, and then there are people from around the country who plan fall trips and include it in their trips so they can see it,” said Tyson Compton, president of the Cabell‑Huntington Convention and Visitors Bureau. “It’s really something.”
“It’s become a tradition for many people in our area, and it feels good to keep that going,” Griffith said.
4. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The Griffiths selling 3,000 pumpkins a day.
B. Ric Griffith giving 3,000 jack-o’‑lanterns to tourists.
C. Ric Griffith teaching 3,000 people how to display jack-o’‑lanterns.
D. The Griffiths decorating their house with 3,000 pumpkins.
5. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Ric Griffith’s idea has received support from his community.
B. There are only two kinds of jack-o’‑lanterns.
C. Ric Griffith dislikes asking for help from others.
D. There are 30,000 people in Kenova.
6. What do we know about the tradition?
A. It began with 1,978 pumpkins.
B. It has lasted more than 40 years.
C. It includes five pumpkin competitions.
D. It encourages people to do more exercise.

Your best friend that follows you around when the sun comes out - your shadow - doesn’t serve an important function like your heart or brain, but what if you could use shadows to create electricity? When using solar panels (电池板) that are powered by light, shadows can be boring because it means electricity can’t be created. However, researchers from the National University of Singapore have engineered a way to create power from the shadows present everywhere.
A team of the university created a machine that can collect energy from shadows. It is created by placing a thin coating of gold onto silicon (硅). Like in a normal solar panel, when put in light, the silicon electrons (电子) become energized and the energized electrons then jump from the silicon to the gold. The voltage (电压) of the part of the machine that is placed in the light increases to the dark part and the electrons in the machine flow from high to low voltage. They are sent through an external circuit (外电路) creating a current that can be used to power another machine. The greater the contrast between light and dark, more energy is provided by the machine.
The team isworking on improving the performance of the machine, borrowing approaches from solar panels to gather light. Increasing the amount of light the machines can receive allows them to better make use of shadows, as well as developing shadow energy collecting panels that can successfully gather from indoor lighting.
The team is also researching the use of other materials other than gold to drop the price of the machine, meaning they would be more cost effective and easier to apply in society.
Shadows are present everywhere and perhaps one day in the future we will be able to collect energy from them by placing the shadow-effect energy machine around the world in places that have been considered unfit for solar panels to work, or indoors. “A lot of people think that shadows are useless,” Tan says, but “anything can be useful, even shadows.”
8. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. Your best friend always stays with you after the sunrise.
B. The shadow has the same function as the heart and brain.
C. Shadows can stop solar panels from creating electricity.
D. Researchers have found a way to create power from shadows.
9. What is the key working principle of the machine mentioned in the text?
A. The silicon produces electricity when it is in the light.
B. The gold produces power with the help of the silicon.
C. The energized electrons flow from high to low voltage.
D. An external circuit creates current using another machine.
10. How does the team improve the performance of the machine?
A. Using solar panels in the machine.
B. Increasing the amount of light received.
C. Developing light energy collecting panels.
D. Bringing down the price of gold.
11. Which of the following is the best place to apply the machine?
A. A gym.
B. A park.
C. A farm.
D. A playground.
D
William 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 over a 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.
12. 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.
13. According to Para.3, which of the following word can best describe William?
A. Humorous.
B. Determined.
C. Cooperative.
D. Friendly.
14. 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.
15. What is the besttitle for the passage?
A. Winds Of Hope
B. Ideas Worth Spreading
C. Learning from Experience
D. Windmills for Villages
