AIs it possible to build muscle and meanwhile lose fat?Please allow us to bring the following two facts to your attention first．Fact 1：Losing fat requires a caloric deficit(亏损)，which means consuming

of mentioning the conflict of building muscle and losing fat?A．To bring out the course．B．To clear confusion．C．To stress importance．D．To warn the danger．2．How many pounds of fat in all does the course promise to lose?A．2．B．4．C．6．D．8．3．Where is the text likely to be taken from?A．A newspaper．B．A website．C．A fitness book．D．A biology magazine．BYesterday，I drove my 23-year-old daughter to the nearby counseling center to attempt once again to complete the treatment．I did my best to encourage and give her inspiring support as she was feeling anxious about the whole process．While we were waiting，just minutes before the center opened their door，a young girl the same age as my daughter，came in．She had a beautiful smile I remember，and spoke of her desire to make a difference for others like my daughter from all she learned through her past drug abuse．I felt that she was sincere in her desire．It had been two weeks since her stopping the use of drugs．My daughter was standing next to me and focused on doing her best to stay calm on the outside，while insideshe was feeling quite anxious，so she barely noticed what this girl was saying．Yet，she did manage to open up and talk with her a bit about the noisy ceiling fan in the hall where we were waiting．Next Friday，it will be a new opportunity for my daughter to try once again，as well as the possibility of being there for this young girl，too．I continue the example of self-love for my daughter，strengthening this skill，while encouraging my daughter’s positive changes．I noticed yesterday，my daughter called her friends, “I am a strong woman!” This made me smile，as a sudden gift to me from when I had been speaking to her enthusiastically about how we are strong women，trying our best，and we overcome and win through our life challenges．Let her know I believe in her．While she was focused on the physical，in that moment，I think she was likely feeling strength in all ways，too．I hope so．4．What was the problem with the author’s daughter?A．She was seriously ill．B．She lost bravery to face life．C．She had to receive an operation．D．She was suffering from drugs．5．What did the author’s daughter talk about with the young girl?A．The room facility．B．The anxiety of treatment．C．The crowded waiting hall．D．The noisy patients around．6．What do we know about the author’s daughter from the last paragraph?A．She made friends with the girl．B．She was cured completely．C．She regained confidence．D．She respected her mother．7．What may be the best title for the text?A．We’re Enough，Waiting For ChallengesB．We’re The World，Winning The FutureC．We’re Strong Women，Trying Our BestD．We’re On The Hard Way，Lacking Self-LoveCAll animals—from humans to birds，worms and crocodiles—sleep，however，not all species sleep alike．Scientists have long puzzled over which aspects are truly fundamental．Now a new study on lizards(蜥蜴)suggests that sleep states once thought to occur only in mammals and birds have much older evolutionary origins．Scientists had long doubted that birds and mammals are the only vertebrates(脊椎动物)to experience rapid eye movement(REM)，a sleep state in which the body is mostly immobile but the brain is overworking．During REM sleep，the brain produces high-frequency waves of electrical activity and the eyes turn suddenly from time to time．In humans，REM is closely linked to dreaming．REM is a pattern of slow-wave sleep，a state in which brain activity weakens and the waves become more consistent．This slower state is widely thought to be important to memory formation and storage．“But scientists who looked for signs of REM and slow-wave sleep in reptiles(爬行动物) have had ‘confusing’ results，” says Gilles Laurent，a neuroscientist at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt，Germany．So he and his colleagues had planned to examine how the lizards—a common pet in Germany use visual information to chase treats．Using camera，the team found that the sleeping lizards’ eyes twitched during the REM-like stage，just like other animals．They also found a very familiar pattern within the slower phase of the lizards’ brain waves．Some scientists believe these waves help transform new information into memories by replaying past events quickly．Although more studies are still needed to determine whether the function of these brain wave patterns is the same across species，the results suggest that these REM and slow-wave sleep patterns could date all the way back to the common ancestor of reptiles，birds，and mammals．8．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．The origin of human dream．B．The definition and effect of REM．C．The features and course of memory．D．The advantages and disadvantages of REM．9．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “twitched” in paragraph 3?A．opened wide B．moved quickly C．stayed closed D．kept still10．How does the lizards’ brain waves turn information into memories according to some scienfists?A．By increasing their frequency slowly．B．By changing their pattern occasionally．C．By playing back the past events quickly．D．By connecting visual information effectively．11．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．The function of the brain wave is the same．B．All the animals have the common ancestor．C．The sleep pattern of all the animals is the same．D．The study about sleep pattern has a long way to go．DA good way to look at failure straight in the face is by writing a failure resume(简历) or CV．Like social media，there，we usually only see our friends’ “highlight part”．When we look at others’ resumes，we get scared and think how ours doesn’t measure up．But even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind them—we just don’t see it．Stefan felt this deeply as a scientist，so she wrote a different CV which of course boasted (夸耀)about her good grades，PhD，and published papers．But the way she deals with her failure CV is a model of what we could all do．“My CV does not reflect my great academic efforts—it does not mention the exams I failed，my unsuccessful PhD or scholarship applications，or the papers never accepted for publication．During the interviews，I talk aboutthe one project that worked，not about the many that failed,” writes Stefan in a column for ．Stefan suggests keeping a draft on which you log，casually but regularly，every unsuccessful application，refused grant proposal and rejected paper．And that’s the point：not to consider what we got wrong，but to use that information to both look at failure and realize it’s really okay，and also to use our failures for another purpose：as learning tools．The point is to be real—with ourselves and about how the world works．Being real means taking an honest，critical，but also kind look at what we didn’t get right，and then doing our best to change what we can．Instead of focusing on how that failure makes you feel，take the time to step back and analyze the practical，operational reasons that you failed．So，practice being okay with failure，and turning your failures into lessons learned．And yes，sometimes we have to learn those lessons more than once，letting go of what you can’t change．And keep moving forward to success．12．What does the underlined word“it”in the first paragraph refer to?A．Plenty of failure．B．A failure resume．C．Highlight part．D．Social media．13．What did Stefan intend to tell us in paragraph 3?A．All her failures in her career．B．Benefits she got from her failures．C．The content of her own resume．D．The difference between her resume and others’．14．What does Stefan advise us to do in our careers?A．Regard failures as part of our life．B．Keep a record of our failures．C．Value our achievements．D．Long for failures．15．Which of the following best describes the author’s opinion?A．No pains，no gains．B．All roads lead to Rome．C．Where there is a will，there is a way．D．Failure is the mother of success．第二节(共5小题；每小题2．5分，满分12．5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。

When I was a child growing up in Ohio, the butterflies would sometimes pass through on their way to Mexico． And it was awesome to see football fields full of them ﹣ and I wanted to revisit that on a larger scale． I knew I had to go to see the migration in Mexico． But I was on a budget． I didn't want to rent a car in Mexico or take a bus to Valle de Bravo, the starting point for most butterfly adventures, so I called the guys at the Muddy Boot, travel experts in Mexico who can make almost anything happen at a reasonable rate． And so, on January 2, I found myself in the Muddy Boot van （货车）, being driven two hours from Mexico City to Valle de Bravo, a lovely town on a volcanic lake which is a central point for the butterfly journeys． I booked a two﹣night stay at the Hotel Rodavento, an all eco﹣friendly hotel with individual wooden houses spread throughout the forest and around a lake．The first sanctuary （保护区） I visited was Piedra Herrada, a popular destination, as it is only 40 minutes away from Valle de Bravo． The climb up is tiring． It is advisable to hire a horse． But the horse cannot take you all the way, and there is some hiking in thin air, so you must be patient, drink a lot of water, and be in reasonably good shape．The walk is more than worth it, though． As I struggled to catch my breath, I looked up and lost my breath again． At first glance, the trees had turned into different shapes, but on closer inspection, every inch of them was covered with butterflies．A few flew through the air （Most of them were not warm enough）． As the sunrose, they began to come alive． Soon the air was filled with flying butterflies, transforming the forest into something magical and straight out of a fairy tale．（1）Why did the author choose to take the Muddy Boot van？________A She couldn't afford to rent a car．B She preferred to travel alone．C She wanted to save some money．D She hoped to reach the destination earlier．．（2）What can we learn about Piedra Herrada？________A It is at a high altitude．B It is far from Valle de Bravo．C It is full of wild animals．D It is only accessible by riding a horse．．（3）What made the author's hiking worthwhile？________A Becoming healthier．B Breathing in fresh air．C Finding trees of different shapes．D Seeing the butterfly migration．．（4）What type of writing is the text？________A A news report．B A scientific paper．C A travel diary．D A commercial ad．3. Why elephants rarely get cancer is a mystery that has confused scientists for decades． A study led by researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute （HCI）, at the University of Utah and Arizona State University may have found the answer．According to the results, elephants have 38 additional modified copies of a gene that encodes p53, a definite tumor ________, as compared to humans, who have onlytwo． Further, elephants may have a more powerful mechanism for killing damaged cells that are at risk for becoming cancerous． In isolated elephant cells, this activity is doubled compared to healthy human cells, and five times that of cells from patients with Li﹣Fraumeni Syndrome, who have only one working copy of p53 and more than a 90 percent lifetime cancer risk in children and adults． The results suggest extra p53 could explain elephants' increased resistance to cancer．"Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer． It's up to us to learn how different animals overcome the problem so we can adapt those strategies to prevent cancer in people, " says co﹣senior author Joshua Schiffman, M．D．, pediatric oncologist （儿科肿瘤医生） at Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah School of Medicine．But Prof Mel Greaves, from the Institute of Cancer Research in London, says we should focus on why humans have such high levels of cancer． He pointed to the rise of unhealthy, cancer﹣causing behaviors, such as obesity and sunbathing． "You've never seen an elephant smoke!" he added．According to Schiffman, elephants have long been considered a walkingproblem． Because they have 100 times as many cells as people, they should be 100 times more likely to have a cell slip into a cancerous state and cause the disease over their long life span of 50 to 70 years． And yet analysis of a large database of elephant deaths estimates a cancer death rate of less than 5 percent compared to 11 to 25 percent in people．（1）Why are elephants less likely to get cancer than humans？________A Elephants are bigger than humans．B Elephants have more p53 genes and mechanism killing damaged cells．C Elephants are not as clever as humans in walking．D Elephants eat more than humans．．（2）Which of the following can be the equivalent of the underlined word "suppressor"？________A multiplierB complexC restrainerD coordinator．（3）What's Prof Mel Greaves' attitude towards the discovery？________A Doubtful．B Neutral．C Critical．D Favorable．．（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？________A Elephants have longer life than people．B There is no chance that elephants diefrom cancer． C The rate of elephants dying from cancer is increasing． D It was thought theoretically that elephants could get cancer more easily．4. The second little pig was unlucky． He built his house from sticks, which was blown away by a wolf． His brother, by contrast, built a wolf﹣proof house from bricks． The fairy tale could have been written by an agent for the construction industry, strongly favoring brick, concrete and steel． However, in the real world it would help reduce pollution and slow global warming if more builders copied the wood﹣loving second pig．No other building material has environmental credentials （认证信息） as exciting and overlooked as wood． The energy required to produce a laminated wooden beam（层压木梁） is one﹣sixth of that required for a steel one of comparable strength． As trees take carbon out of the atmosphere when growing, wooden buildings contribute to negative emissions by storing the stuff． And for refitting older buildings to be more energy efficient, wood is a good insulator （绝缘体）． A softwood window frame provides nearly 400 times as much insulation as a plain steel one of the same thickness and over a thousand times as much as an aluminium（铝） equivalent．But such bigger stories are still uncommon． Governments can help push the industry to use more wood, particularly in the public sector﹣the construction industry's biggest client． That would help wood﹣building specialists achieve greater scale and lower costs． Zero﹣carbon building regulations should be altered to take account of the emissions that are presented in materials．Construction codes could be regulated to make building with wood easier． Here the direction of travel is wrong． Britain, for instance, is banning the use of timber on the outside of tall buildings after 72 people died in a tower fire in London in 2017． That is a nonsense． Grenfell Tower was covered in aluminium and plastic, not wood． Modern cross ﹣laminated timber （交叉层叠木板） panels perform better in fire tests than steel ones do． Carpentry alone will not bring the environmental cost of the world's buildings into line． But using wood can do much more than is appreciated． The second little pig was not wrong, just before his time．（1）The purpose of the writer telling the story in the first paragraph is to________．A attract the readers' attention．B make the argument moreconvincing． C criticize the author of the tale． D lead in the topic of the text．．（2）Paragraph 2 is intended to inform us________．A wood is a good insulator．B such skyscrapers with wood are uncommon currently．C the unique advantages of wood material being friendly environmental．D how wood reduces the emission of carbon dioxide．．（3）Which of the following does NOT belong to the governments' measures to help the scheme？________A To encourage the construction industry's biggest client to use more wood．B Totransform Zero﹣carbon building regulations． C To arouse the public's awareness of protecting the woods． D To regulate the Construction codes．．（4）The author may imply that________．A the second pig in the tale was unlucky．B the outside of tall buildings Grenfell Tower could have been constructed in wood．C we haven't appreciated the characteristics of using wood at all．D wood﹣building specialists will achieve greater profits．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据文章内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5.

2020届陕西省西安中学英语高考模拟试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共4小题；每小题6分，满分30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．11．（6分）Casting Call for TV RoleGender：FemaleLocation：Hollywood，CaliforniaGenre：TV SerialsProducer：Cooper &

training，Howard was shipped off to Europe．On his maiden flight，his plane was shot down over Austria．The entire crew of eight men landed safely．But a farmer found Howard hiding in his barn and turned him over to a prison of war camp in Barth，Germany．It was freezing and the men almost starved to death eating the guards' garbage．Hungry and homesick，Howard coped the only way he knew how．He drew a comic strip．The book，made of cigarette wrappers bound together with scrap metal，was sent around the camp．Every couple of days he would add a new panel．One panel at a time would be passed around the whole camp．And they'd have something to look forward to．After an entire year of this，they woke one morning to find their guards gone．They fledand Howard finally got to go home．Just lucky to get out alive，he left the book behind．Back home in California，Howard soon had a wife and kids to feed so he had to set aside his dream of becoming an artist．He took a job as a gardener instead．Morgan Weistling shared his father's artistic gifts．At 15 his parents sent him to art school．And Howard got to see his son become a well﹣known painter before he died in 2002．That's how，seven decades after the war，when a stranger in New York googled the name "Weistling，" he found Morgan online．"I get an email from a gentleman and he says，'I think I may have some drawings your father did when he was a POW （prisoner of war）in World War II，'" Morgan recalls．"'Would you like them？' And I just stared at that email and started crying．"Luckily Howard had engraved his name on the comic book，which is how the man from New York City had connected with Morgan．A couple of days later when it arrived in California，Morgan couldn't believe it．"It was like getting my father back，" Morgan says．"It was like him being able to tell me the story over again ﹣only this time it was real in my hands．"（1）The passage details Howard's life as a POW to show that．A．war could not stop his pursuit of successB．loss of

prisoners' curiosity．B．It aroused the guards' sympathy．C．It was popular among the prisoners．D．It raised prisoners' confidence in freedom．（3）What contributes to the stranger's success in finding Morgan？A．The email from the gentleman．B．Howard's experience in the war．C．Morgan's recalling of his father．D．Morgan's status in the field of art．（4）What can we infer about Morgan from the last paragraph？A．He was excited to get the comic strip．B．He couldn't believe the stranger's story．C．He couldn't wait to tell others his good news．D．He hadn't heard about his father's war stories．13．（8分）I used to spend the second half of Sunday fearing Monday morning．Over the years，little tweaks to my routine have changed things to the point that I am in the "I Love Mondays"camp．Here's what I've found that works：Consider Sunday nights your warm﹣up for Monday．Get everything you need for the morning ready to go．If mornings are a struggle…give it a try at least for Mondays and see if it makes a difference．Once that's done，consider a special "Sunday Night Only" calming down ritual （惯例）．It might be tea and a favorite TV show，or it might be a long hot bath and reading until you're ready for sleep．Whatever it is，enjoy this Monday morning warm ﹣up，and consider sleeping a little earlier than you're used to，in order to help with the second step．One of my favorite parts of the weekend is sleeping in and waking up when I'm ready instead of fighting with the alarm for "Just five more minutes!" Sleeping a little early on Sunday night can help with getting up a little early on Monday morning ﹣not to pack more into your morning to﹣do list，but to give yourself time to take it slowly．When you have a little extra time in the morning，you can gently settle into the day and keep that weekend feeling of ease as you start your new week．Find a theme for the week．Every Monday，I post an inspiring quote or saying．These are intentional! Each week，as part of my Sunday night calming down time，I consider what I'd like to focus on in the coming week，and look for a quote that's a good fit to strengthen it．What are you excited about for the new week？What problem﹣solving opportunities do you have？What's been hanging over your head undone from last week？During your preparation time on Sunday night，think about the week ahead and mark a few things that you want to get done and can reasonably accomplish．If possible，schedule at least one of them for Monday，so you've started your week off feeling successful，instead of feeling like there'sa mountain of tasks ahead of you．The work is the same either way，but our attitudes arealways within our control．When you are intentionally creating a life you love，Mondays begin to feel less like drudgery（单调乏味的苦差事），and more like a beautiful start!（1）The underlined word "tweaks" is the closest in meaning to．A．mistakesB．problemsC．adjustmentsD．encouragements（2）What's the benefit of getting up early enough on Monday morning？A．You can get to your office and start work in time．B．You can have enough time to sit with your tea or coffee．C．You can have the weekend feeling longer by starting slowly．D．You can have enough time to make a to﹣do list for the week．（3）What does the author want to indicate in Para.5？A．Be confident to solve the problems．B．Look for opportunities for the week．C．Arrange your tasks well for the week．D．Positive attitude means a happy Monday．（4）What might be the best title for this passage？A．Monday Morning Warm UpB．How to Love Your MondaysC．How to Spend Your MondaysD．Troublesome Monday Disease14．（8分）Even though vaccination（接种疫苗）is a powerful defense against disease，some voices are against it．In a recent letter，the American Medical Association（AMA）urged big social media including Amazon，Facebook and Google to take action to defend medical science on their platforms．It said that vaccine﹣preventable diseases that do harm to the public health like measles（麻疹）are on the rise．Measles cases worldwide jumped more than 30% in 2017 compared to2016，with the largest increases seen among nations in the Americas，Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean．Vaccine﹣preventable diseases are increasing largely because many people are unwilling to get vaccinated．And some of these people even encourage others to refuse vaccination．So this year，the World Health Organization （WHO）declared the anti﹣vaccination movement a top﹣10 health threat．"Vaccination is one of the most cost﹣effective ways of avoiding disease ﹣it currently prevents 2﹣3 million deaths a year，and a further 15 million could be avoided if global coverage of vaccinations improved，" WHO said．A research article published in 1998 in a medical journal suggested a link between a vaccine and the development of autism（自闭症）in young children．Although the research has been suspected and many other studies have proved that vaccinations do not cause autism，the article is still impressing people strongly today．Another reason for the growth in the anti﹣vaccination movement is widespread misinformation on social media，which can turn people against vaccination．If a concerned parent consistently sees information in their Newsfeed that casts doubt on the safety of vaccines，it could cause them to disregard the advice of their children's physicians and public health experts and refuse to follow the recommended vaccination schedule．So access to true information about vaccine safety is badly needed．（1）What does the AMA require social media to do on their platforms？A．Unite to develop new vaccines．B．Stop vaccine misinformation．C．Give up the anti﹣vaccination movement．D．Introduce vaccine﹣preventable diseases．（2）Why does the author mention the measles cases？A．To declare measles can be prevented．B．To prove vaccination doesn't work well．C．To show the result of anti﹣vaccination．D．To explain the reason for avoiding vaccination．（3）Which of the following DOESN'T play a role in the anti﹣vaccination movement？A．The costs of vaccination．B．People's concerns over vaccine safety．C．A research relating vaccination to autism．D．Misinformation spread on social media platforms．（4）What is the author's attitude towards vaccination？A．DoubtfulB．AmbiguousC．PositiveD．Negative第二节（共1小题；每小题10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．选项中有两项为多余选项．15．（10分）Art galleries are places in which artists can display all types of works of art，including paintings，drawings，photographs，sculptures，etc．（1）At the same time，however，each artwork must be protected from exposure to too much light since that can cause works to fade and therefore get ruined．（2）The most common form of lighting used to light up artwork is indoor spotlights on tracks attached to the ceiling near where the work is being displayed．（3）It permits the lights to be moved more easily when the light patterns require adjusting．Recessed（嵌入的）lights in walls and ceilings can be useful so long as they are not fixed in place but can instead be easily moved to create ideal light patterns．Most art gallery directors state that a combination of tracked and recessed light equipment is ideal because the tracked lights focus directly on the artwork while the recessed lights are used on the nearby walls to provide a surrounding light source．（4）How to angle the lights depends upon the height of the ceiling and the size of the artwork．Caution must be taken to avoid creating too many areas with shadows or to have the lights cause a glare on the artwork．Besides，the lights should not be bare bulbs burning directly on the artwork but should be made in some way to make the lighting softer．According to experts，low voltage（电压）bulbs are the best to use when lighting artwork．（5）Thus artwork should be placed in a room where sunlight can't directly hit it．A．It can make the displays attractive．B．Using tracked lighting is beneficial．C．Light plays a key role in art galleries．D．This light source can better improve the mood surrounding the work．E．To better improve their appearance，the display area needs to be well lit．F．Finding a happy medium between not enough light and too much of it requires considerable skill and experience．G．Above all，natural light should be avoided since direct sunlight will damage artwork，particularly paintings，over time．第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．16．（30分）In 1999，Eve and Norman Fertig，a couple，saved a two﹣week﹣old shepherd （牧羊犬）named Shana．One winter

AYou might have heard a lot about ancient towns and ancient cities in China. Here, we list several of the most beautiful ancient villages in China.Baoshan Stone City, Yunnan ProvinceBaoshan Stone City was built on a huge mushroom-shaped rock, and only has about one hundred houses. The houses are laid out in an orderly way, built on the rock, and linked by stone steps. The Naxi people there still lead an original life and grow crops in terraces (梯田); you can experience the colorful culture of the Naxi ethnic (民族的) group there.Tuvas Village in Kanas, XinjiangKanas Tuvas Village is near the mysterious Lake Kanas.

They are the ethnic villages with unique architecture.BI was in the seventh grade, and we had moved to New Jersey in November. By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in “Section L”. I found out later that everyone called Section L “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that.Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, I had to try to make things better.The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in “Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore. Even though I couldn’t change my situation, I could change my attitude—and that made all the difference.4. “Loserville” is a section for ________.A. failuresB. good studentsC. class secretsD. newcomers5. The writer complained all the time in the new environment because ________.A. Ana didn’t text back to herB. her friends hurt her feelingsC. she was unfairly treatedD. she was a good student6. What made a difference in changing the situation?A. She went back to Illinois.B. She ended friendship with Ana.C. She fought back with her classmates.D. She began to make friends with others.7. The best title for the passage can be ________.A. Lasting FriendshipB. An Incidence at SchoolC. Say Goodbye to “Loserville”D. Unhappiness in “Loserville”CMoscow city authorities have begun using comics（漫画）with characters from Russian fairy tales to explain to migrants（移民）how they should behave. They say a 100-page guide is needed to "keep a positive image" of the city and could help reduce "tensions" between natives and migrants. But critics have pointed out that foreign migrants and natives may be regarded as antagonists in the manual(手册).Russians and migrants have repeatedly flooded in Moscow recently. Many migrants from ex-Soviet republics in Central Asia, the Caucasus（高加索）and North Caucasus, arrive in Moscow every year, attracted by the capital’s job opportunities and relatively high salaries. A significant number of them workin the Russian capital illegally.The new guide in Russian seeks to explain the "dos" and "don’ts" to migrants. 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（例行公事）stop them to check their documents.In the manual, Russia’s famous "three warriors" are meant to represent the city’s law enforcement agencies（执法机关）, while Prince Y uri 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 a nd history. A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow’s strict residency and employment rules, stressing that migrants could otherwise be deported(驱逐出境) or banned from entry.The manual was written primarily for illegal migrants, 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.Migrant characters had initially(最初) 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 is being revived," 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 migrants who were not native Russian speakers.8. The underlined word "antagonists" in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by "_____".A. friendsB. acquaintancesC. cooperatorsD. opponents9. People from other countries come to Moscow "_____"A. to find well-paid jobsB. to have a new lifestyleC. to enjoy the fine climateD. to experience a new culture10. The third paragraph is mainly about"_____".A. consequences the migrants may sufferB. the purpose of publishing the handbookC. the measures to attract foreign migrantsD. characters and their functions in Russian fairytales11. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A. Ways to help foreign migrants to settle in RussiaB. Characters from Russian fairy tales have new jobsC. More and more foreign migrants to work in MoscowD. Moscow fairy tale comics to help migrants behaveDIn this Pennsylvania city, Pittsburgh is shrinking but getting wealthier. Since 2000, its population has declined by 95,000 while its income per capita (人均) has shot up 24 percent. The trend is taking hold in many other cities, like Buffalo in New York, Providence in Rhode Island and New Orleans.Some of these areas have created more high-paying jobs in energy, health care or education. Others have managed to reshape their producing industry for a new economy. Higher-paying jobs have a greater effect because they create demand for additional services. "The story in Pittsburgh is very positive, and other areas are looking at it as an example of the transformation that might be possible，”said Guhan Venkatu, who wrote an economic history of the area called “Rust and Renewal” for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have helped bring tech jobs and innovation(革新) to the area by sponsoring tech centers that help graduates start companies without moving to Silicon Valley or San Francisco. This has helped keep Pittsburgh's educated young population growing even as the entire population in the city has dropped.Pittsburgh has more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) jobs than other shrinking cities, about 80, 000 or 7% of all jobs. STEM jobs add productivity and income growth to the area. Manufacturers of high-tech medical equipment in the Pittsburgh area also have doubled employment in the last 10 years.However, some experts question whether growing income per capita can really make up for a declining population. According to Patrick Adler, a researcher at the University of Toronto, population loss does matter if it means lower-skilled workers have fled because of a lack of opportunity. What's more, high-paying jobs in education and health care can disappear if the population declines too greatly. So it'd be wise to find ways to increase the population.12. In what aspect does Pittsburgh set a good example?A. Transforming old energy into new energy.B. Creating more well-paid jobs.C. Prohibiting the manufacturing.D. Sponsoring higher education.13. How do some academic institutions help with the local economy?A. By helping to attract more talents from other areas.B. By providing much technical support to local companies.C. By hosting tech centers for local educated graduates.D. By assisting in employing a large number of educated youths.14. Why is Patrick Adler mentioned in the last paragraph?A. To show the disadvantage of a declining population.B. To suggest increasing high-paying jobs.C. To raise doubts about growing income per capita.D. To tell a reason why lower-skilled workers flee.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. How Fast Job Growth Is Related to Population GrowthB. How Less-crowded Cities Plan Their High-tech EconomyC. Why Some Cities Are Losing People but Getting WealthierD. Why Some Cities Are Suffering From a Shrinking Population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。

2020届陕西省西安中学高三英语模拟试卷及答案解析
2020届陕西省西安中学高三英语模拟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AOlder adults who sleep six hours or fewer a night may have elevated risk for dementia(痴呆症) and other cognitive (认知的) issues, a new study finds.Researchers at Stanford University measured seniors' (ages 65 to 85) dementia risk and cognitive abilities, finding higher risk in those patients who regularly slept six or fewer hours compared to those who slept seven or eight hours. Those seniors who slept nine or more hours also had lower cognitive functions and other health issues, but the researchers didn't find the same high dementia risk in this group.The findings demonstrate how important it is for adults to maintain a healthy sleep cycle, especially as they get older.As adults age, it's common for their sleep patterns to change or becomedisrupted— leading to longer, shorter, or more irregular sleep. This disruption may be linked to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, impacting seniors' ability to remember information, problem-solve, and go through everyday behaviors. Sleep disruption can also be caused by or heighten depression, cardiovascular disease（冠心病）, and other conditions.A recommended sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours, the researchers said. Six or fewer hours corresponded to short sleep, while nine or more hours corresponded to long sleep.The Stanford researchers measured levels of beta amyloid, a protein in the brain that is typically found in high levels when a patient develops Alzheimer's. In addition, the researchers used several tests for memory, attention, spatial skills, and executive function to identify patients' cognitive abilities. Those patients sleeping for six hours or fewer a night were more likely to develop dementia, the researchers found. The low-sleep patients had higher levels of beta amyloid.The Stanford researchers found that patients with lower sleep also performed worse on memory tests, while those with higher sleep (more hours) performed worse on executive function tests，which measure the brain's ability to switch between different tasks.―The main takeaway is that it is important to maintain healthy sleep late in life, Winer told CNN.1. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in paragraph 4 mean?A. difficultB. disorderedC. dissolvedD. different2. According to the findings, which of the following is NOT related to the disrupted sleep?A. It is more likely to cause old people to have bad memories over issues.B. It may contribute to dementia, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses.C. Some daily behaviors perhaps differ from those whose sleeping is normal.D It tends to bring all the old people to undergo brain scans and cognitive tests.3. What can we infer from the study?A. A proper sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours.B. Low and high sleep patients were both poor at memory tests.C. Executive function test is applied to measure the capacity of brain.D. Keeping a healthy sleep for older adults late in life is crucial.BOur house was across the street from a big hospital so we rented our spare upstairs room to outpatients (门诊病人). One evening, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly sick-looking man.His face looked terrible — it was swollen and red. Yet his voice was pleasant. He told me that he came for treatment and that he’d been hunting for a spare room since noon, but no one would give him one. “I guess it’s my face...”For a moment, I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “I will sleep in this rocking chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.”The old man had a huge heart inside his tiny body. He told me that he fished for a living to support his daughter, his daughter’s five children and her disabled husband.He didn’t complain while telling me his story. He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was seemingly a form of skin cancer.The next morning, he said, “Can I come back and stay next time I need treatment?” I told him he was welcome to come again.On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some large oysters (牡蛎). In the years that he stayed with us, there was never a time that he did not bring us gifts like these.My neighbour warned me that I could lose potential renters after the old man left.Maybe we did lose renters once or twice. But if they had known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear. I know our family will always be grateful to have known him. From him, we learned what it was toaccept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.4. Why did the author let the old man stay after hesitation?A. The old man looks terrible and frightening.B. The old man is pitifully undemanding.C. The old man could’t rent room from others.D. The old man talked happily with the author.5. Which of the following shows the old man had a big heart?A.He had a large family to raise.B. He could sleep in a rocking chair.C. He did’t care about his disease.D. He wanted to come back and stay the next time.6. What can we learn about the author from the last two paragraphs?A. He was grateful for the neighbour’s warning.B.

Live positively.CTexas has been one of the most restrictive gun-rights states in America.Thanks to a new law,however,the state will be one of the most relaxed,to the degree that police are discouraged from even asking about someone's guns. And if they do, they may not have much power to do anything if the person refuses to show a license.To be sure, the law is strict in its own way,offering a model for regulation. Under the law, open-carry citizens have to be licensed, a process that includes safety and shooting tests. They also have to show no prior psychological problems, and they have to be at least 21 years old.It is true that gun violence dropped sharply after restrictive laws were put in place in countries like Great Britain and Australia. However,the US public seems more interested than ever in weapons and the power they convey,despite gun control groups' concern over the increase of violence. Most states in America have steadily expanded gun rights since the end of a 10-year assault(攻击)weapons ban in 2004. Black Friday this year saw thebiggest gun cache(贮存)ever purchased in one day.Considering those trends,there's a heated debate about whether the new Texas law is a model piece of legislation(立法)for a changing America,or a walking disaster just begging for trouble. As the law doesn't provide any punishment for those who refuse to show a license to a police officer, critics fear that officers may find it tough to handle potentially deadly situations. After all, armed citizens will no longer be considered suspicious, even though a lot of people might be alarmed by the sight. Most police in Texas have been told to not engage gun carriers unless they are doing something questionable or appear drunk.For sure,New Year's Day will be an exciting one for Texas gun owners. What's not yet known is how the rest of Texas will respond.8. All of the following are required in the new Texas law for open carry EXCEPTA. age limitB. mental conditionC. online registrationD. gun-operating skills9. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The reason for putting forward the new Texas law.B. The present situation of gun possession in America.C. The impact of the assault weapons ban in 2004.D. The inaction of the US government as to gun control.10. What do critics think the new Texas law will probably lead to?A. Heavier workload for policemen.B. Disrespect for officers.C. Lack of trust among citizens.D. Difficulty in crime prevention.11. What is the author's attitude towards the new Texas law?A. Negative.B. Cautious.C. Indifferent.D. Approving.DAn afternoon nap(午睡)is one of the joys of life, although too much napping could signal all is not well. In some cultures, people will have a daily nap — thisis fine. The warning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime, when they did not before. There is certainly a good reason to believe that daytime sleepiness — as in the Alzheimer's study — can be a marker of an underlying condition.For most people, napping during the day is mainly a sign that you are not getting enough sleep at night, says Dr. Neil Stanley, a sleep expert. "If you feel sleepy during the day, you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs — it doesn't need to be kept awake with caffeine, it needs sleep. "The feeling to notice is "sleepiness", he says, not "tiredness", which could be more psychological and linked to stress.So how do you nap well? The key thing, says Stanley, is how long your nap lasts. Choose either a 20-or 90-minute nap. "When you fall asleep, you'll quickly go through the lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep. You don't want to wake up in deep sleep because that's when you wake and feel worse than you did before. "Napping for 20 minutes means you will wake up before you go into deep sleep; napping for 90 minutes means you'll complete a sleep cycle.Once you factor in the time it takes to fall asleep — some people are better at napping than others but, says Stanley, "a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes" — you can set an alarm, allowing a 30- to 40-minute period for a short nap, and up to two hours for a longer one.A good time to nap is during the body's natural dip in the afternoon, between 2 pm and 4 pm. "You don't really want to be napping much pastthatbecause then you are going to be eating into your night-time sleep," Stanley says. The point, he stresses, is to get good night-time sleep, which would ensure you probably don't need to nap at all.12. What does an afternoon nap indicate for most people?A. Caffeine addiction.B. Psychological stress.C. Insufficient night sleep.D. Potential physical illness.13. What is the key to a good nap?A. Duration.B. Surroundings.C. Health.D. Stages.14. What does the underlined word "that" in the last paragraph refer to?A. A 30- to 40- minute period.B. Between 2 pm and 4 pm.C. Between 5 and 12 minutes.D. A 20- to 90-minute period.15.

Having spent her first six years in a cage, Georgie had never seen a body of water, and I wanted to get there before sunset to watch her experience it.I was growing increasingly impatient about all the stops her little Beagle nose required. She inspected the grass, dirt, and trees, and licked(舔) whatever was stuck to the road. These were all new discoveries for her, and she took her time studying them.When I accepted that it was fruitless to hurry her along, I whipped out my cell phone and began texting.I thought that I needed something to do while Georgie was slowing us down. Then, for some reason, I heard the cicadas(蝉), and I remembered that the sound of cicadas is my favorite sound in the world. That awakened something buried within me that longed for the simple pleasures that had been replaced by technology.I made a conscious decision to be present, and to enjoy the journey to the river just like Georgie. Now, I admired the flowers and the winding ivy on our path. I smelled the grass and the flowers, and the dirt and theair. I treasured each one equally, as if discovering them for the first time.As we neared our destination, I realized something even more important: It didn’t matter if we even reached the river. Why must there always be a destination? Georgie had no idea that we had a destination. She was present for the journey, and she savored every bit of that sweet experience. There was no race and no finish line.Now I’m not sure who rescued whom.24. Why did the author take out the cellphone?A. To kill time.B. To awaken the simple pleasures.C. To hurry the dog along.D. To record the sound of cicadas.25. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. How I enjoyed the journey.B. What I saw on the way.C. Why I traveled to the river.D. Whether I reached my destination.26. What does the underlined word “savored” in the fifth paragraph mean?A. Smelt.B. Expected.C. Enjoyed.D. Deserved.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Say Goodbye to Cell PhonesB. Think like a DogC. Learn to Get along with PetsD. Travel toward DestinationsCThanks to technology, ride-hailing(打车) is as easy as opening an app on your phone. According to Didi, China’s top ride-hailing app, 81.3 percent of passengers preferred using an online service last year. But just like many other modern high-tech developments, convenience comes with concerns.Didi Chuxing announced a trial re-launch of its carpool(拼车) service, Didi Hitch(滴滴顺风车), in seven cities including Harbin, Taiyuan and Beijing from Nov 20. More than a year ago, Didi suspended the service following the murders of two separate female passengers in May and August, respectively.The re-launch comes with a range of new safety features. One of the new measures proved controversial. It carried out an 8 pm curfew(宵禁) on women, but allowed men to enjoy the service till 11 pm.Many users complained on social media that the policy was sexist. According to CNN, the topic “#Women Can’t Take Didi After 8PM#” was trending on weibo, with one post calling it “negative marketing and gender-biased(性别歧视的)”. It had gained more than70,000 likes as of Nov 11.After the strong public reaction, Didi Chuxing changed its decision. Both men and women will be able to use Didi Hitch between 5 am and 8 pm.According to CNN, Didi Hitch had logged more than a billion total rides before its suspension, but it remains to be seen if the company can win back users’ trust.Didi is not the only ride-sharing app to arouse public safety concerns, nor is it the only one to attempt special protections for women. The globally popular car-hailing services Uber and Lyft now require strict background checks and emergency SMS services that will automatically send a car’s description, license number, and current location to police, CBS news reported.According to CNBC, one Boston-based ride-hailing service only hires women to drive and will only accept women or children under 13 as passengers. Despite all the safety features, riders should check their drivers’ number plates, ensure they are being taken on the correct route, and inform friends of travel plans.28. What are the first six paragraphs mainly about?A. Safety tips for using Didi Hitch.B. Public safety concerns over Didi Hitch.C. The advantages of Didi Hitch’s new services.D. The recent developments of Didi Hitch.29. The underlined word “suspended” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A. improved on somethingB. worried about somethingC. stopped something for a timeD. took the responsibility for something30. Why did Didi Chuxing change its Hitch curfews?A. Because of its recent online risk analysis.B. Because of the public’s negative reaction.C. For the convenience of different users.D. For the sake of safety problems of women.31. The passage is probably taken from________.A. an advertisementB. a textbookC. a newspaperD. a public speechDIt happens from time to time that after a whole morning of studying, you are tired in the afternoon. It’s then that you might want to eat something sweet, perhaps a Coke or a chocolate bar, to lift your mood. After all it’s popularly believed that a “sugar rush” gives us energy.But a study published in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews in April suggests that sugar can make us feel worse rather than boost our moods.The German and UK researchers collected data from 31 studies involving nearly 1,300 adults. They studied the effect of sugar on various aspects of mood, including anger, alertness, depression and tiredness.They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired and less alert within an hour and that these feelings become more intense over time.According to the researchers, when people take in sugar their blood sugar levels rise rapidly, leading to a burst of energy and a short “feel good” period. However, as they begin to digest the sugar, their blood sugar levels decrease quickly leading to a bad feeling.To remain on a “high”, people are likely to eat more and more sugar until they become addicted to it. As with caffeine, this prevents the body from relaxing, leaving people feeling tired and less alert.But the study findings needn’t make us think we must give up sweet food altogether. According to the World Health Organization, it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk so long as these make up less than 5 percent of daily total energy intake.So the next time you feel tired and can’t concentrate, perhaps you should think twice before you bite into a chocolate bar. Maybe a spot of exercise at midday would be a better idea!Tips for beating afternoon fatigue.* Head outside and sit in the daylight for 10 minutes.* Get into the routine of a mid-afternoon cup of tea.* Plan group activities for midday.* Add variety to your routine.32. What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Harm.B. Improve.C. Control.D. Change.33. How did the people feel after they had sugar in the study?A. They felt more tired.B. They felt relaxed.C. They were more alert.D. They felt energetic.34. What do we learn from Paragraphs 5-6?A. Our mood is connected to our blood sugar levels.B. Taking in more sugar benefits mental health.C. Getting caffeine is another way to relax.D. Sugar and caffeine are all the same.35. What would the author suggest people do when they are tired?A. Give up sweet food.B. Have a bar of chocolate.C. Do an hour of exercise.D. Eat foods with natural sugars.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
