Then he fell on his knees before Arthur. “Father, please do not kneel before me. Tell me what you mean!” Arthur said with great confusion.“Listen, then,” said Sir Ector. “Years ago the wise magician, Merlin, carried a baby in his arms. That baby was you. Merlin told me to bring you up as my own son. Now I can guess. You must be the late king King Uther’s son. Who else could have pulled out the sword Arthur, we must let all England know you are qualified to be the new king.”“I would rather be your son than be a king!” cried Arthur.“On Christmas the Bishop(主教) will give everyone a chance to pull the sword. You must take your turn and show everyone that you are the only person who can pull the sword out.”On Christmas Day the great crowd of knights(骑士) and lords gathered before the church. They pulled and pushed, but no one could make the sword move.Down the street came Merlin. Behind him came Sir Ector with Arthur. “Who are these men” asked the Bishop. “Here is one whowill try the sword,” said Merlin. He laid his hand on Arthur’s shoulder. “Here, lords of England, is the true son of King Uther!” Arthur stepped upon the stone and laid his hand on the sword. Smoothly and easily he pulled it out. He held it high so all could see.So Arthur became King of all England. Some of the lords did not want him, and he had to fight them. As the years went by, he became stronger and greater. Knights came from all lands to be in his court. At Camelot Arthur started the famous Knights of the Round Table. These were the greatest of all the knights. They made their names famous for all time.1.Sir Ector fell on his knees before Arthur because ______.A. Sir Ector wanted to ask for forgiveness from the new kingB. Merlin told Sir Ector to respect Arthur as if he were the KingC. Arthur pulled the sword out and Sir Ector knew who he wasD. Arthur was so powerful that Sir Ector admired him very much2.Arthur found it ______ when Sir Ector said he was qualified to be the new king.A. believableB. unacceptableC. enjoyableD. unchangeable3.What did Arthur do as King of all England according to the passageA.

Arthur Trains KnightsC. Arthur Defeats EnemiesD. Arthur Loves SwordsIn recent years more and more Chinese schoolchildren are required to wear uniforms at school. Do American children wear school uniforms In fact, American schoolchildren often wear uniforms if they attend religious or other private schools. Most public schools do not require uniforms. But over the last ten years or so, more of them have moved in that direction, including high schools. Another option is that students may just have to dress alike — for example, white shirts and dark colored pants or skirts. Even schools that do not require uniforms generally have a dress rule about what they consider acceptable. Schools commonly forbid clothing that shows images or words causing displeasure, or simply too much skin. Hats may be forbidden because, for example, different colors may be connected with bad guys.Some parents like the idea of uniforms. Some say it means they do not have to spend much on clothing for their kids. Others, though, argue that uniforms represent an unnecessary cost.There are also debates about whether uniforms or other dress rules go against civil rights. Students and parents have taken legal action against school dress requirements. Several years ago, a middle school was asked to stop its dress rule unless families had a way out of it. The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California brought the case for the families of several students who had been punished by the school. Most attention centered on a girl who wore socks with the Tigger character from Winnie the Pooh. The school said its clothing policy, including no pictures of any kind, was needed to control a growing problem with gangs. The families argued that thepolicy went against free speech rights as protected by the United States and California constitutions.The United States Supreme Court says student expression is protected as long as it does not harm the work and the rule of a school. But some educators believe dressing alike helps improve student learning. They believe that uniforms help create a sense of unity and reduce the risk of fights. They also say uniforms make it easier for security reasons to tell if someone belongs to the school or not.1.According to the passage there is a trend in the USA that______.A. most public schools do not require uniformsB. most public schools move in the direction of requiring uniforms at churchC. most schools require the students to be dressed in whiteshirts and dark colored pantsD. more and more schools have a dress rule about what aresuitable for schoolchildren2.Which of the following is NOT a reaction mentioned to the dress ruleA. Some parents like the rule which means they could spend less on clothing for the kids.B. Some parents think the rule has nothing to do with them.C. Some parents say that uniforms are an extra cost for them.D. Some others argue that uniforms or other dress rules go against civil rights.3.What is the girl’s problemA. She brought her pet called Tigger to school.B. She put Tigger into her socks in class.C. She wore socks with pictures.D. She had a problem with some gangs.4.School dress requirements can benefit schools and students except to help ______.A. the court protect student expressionB. students focus on their studiesC. make a united effort to avoid fightsD. strengthen campus securityWhen one tried to unify gravity with quantum mechanics(量子力学), one had to introduce the idea of ‘imaginary’ time. If one can go forward in imaginary time, one ought to be able to turn round and go backward. This means that there can be no important difference between the forward and backward directions of imaginary time. Yet there is a big difference between the forward and backward directions of ‘real time’ in ordinary life. Imagine a cup of water falling off a table and breaking into pieces on the floor. If you take a film of this, you can easily tell whether it is being run forward or backward. You can tell that the film is being run backward because this kind of behavior is never observed in ordinary life.The explanation that is usually given as to why we don’t see broken cups gathering themselves together off the floor and jumping back onto the table is that it is forbidden by the second law of thermodynamics(热力学). This says that in any closed system disorder, or entropy(熵), always increases with time. In other words, it is a form of Murphy’s law: things always tend to go wrong! An intact cup on the table is a state of high order, but a broken cup on the floor is a disordered state. One can go readily from the cup on the tablein the past to the broken cup on the floor in the future, but not the other way round.The increase of disorder or entropy with time is one example of what is called an arrow of time, something that tells the past from the future, giving a direction to time. There are at least three different arrows of time. First, there is the thermodynamic arrow of time, the direction of time in which disorder or entropy increases. Then, there is the psychological arrow of time. This is the direction in which we feel time passes, the direction in which we remember the past but not the future. Finally, there is the cosmological arrow oftime. This is the direction of time in which the universe is expanding rather than contracting.1.How does ‘imaginary time’ differ from ‘real time’ according to the passageA. Imaginary time is more important than real time in science.B. Directions mean less to imaginary time than to real time.C. One can go backward in real time but can’t in imaginary time.D. It is harder to tell directions of real time than of imaginary time2.What’s the purpose of writing about a cup of water falling offa tableA. To define the forward and backward directions of real time.B. To tell the backward direction from the forward direction of real time.C. To show real time is more scientific than imaginary time in ordinary life.D. To prove there’s a big difference between the directions of real time.3.Why don’t we see broken cups gathering themselves together off the floor and jumping backonto the tableA. It doesn’t agree w ith the second law of thermodynamics.B. Things will quickly go wrong for entropy increases with time.C. There is an interchange between a state of high order and a disordered stateD. All above.4.The underlined word in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. universalB. physicalC. technologicalD. geographical二、七选五The past is good for two things: the happy memories, and the lessons it provides. Take some time to think and create two lists: One, your Top Five Most Important Lessons Learned in the Year. And two, your Top Five Favorite Memories of the Year. 1.Take some time to think2. But you just invested 8760 or so hours of your life in the previous year. To pull what is worth pulling from it, to give it proper perspective and proper closure, it surely deserves some of your focused conscious energy.3.Maybe you lost half your investments this year. Or your job. Or your house. Or you faced health challenges. You may dwell on the negative, self-defeating que stions like “How could I be so stupid” or “How could God let this happen to me” But a child doesn’t touch fire, get burned, and then spend the rest of his days – or even hours – thinking bitterly how this could have happened to him. He learns not to touch the fire and twenty minutes later he is happily playing again. 4.Don’t bang on the beehive（蜂窝）When discussing the past year I have already heard so many people stating how bad it was. I hear them recalling all the bad memories. It is like banging on a beehive. Because here is a universal law: whatever you seek, you will find plenty of. 5. Likewise, if you are focused on good memories, the beauty in the world, and things to feel grateful for, they will nourish your mind, your heart, and allow your life to blossom.A. Learn from the past experiencesB. First and foremost, bear in mind that the key aspect of this experience is to “take some time to think”.C. No matter how much you have invested, sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is let go.D. In today’s go-go faster-faster world, you may be attracted to rush through this experience, to treat it like another task to getoff your to-do list.E. Remember the wisdom of a childF. If you are focused on bad memories, problems, and things to complain about, they will drown your mind and your heart, and sting your life.G. Now before you race off to do this, read the rest that provides important perspective on doing this.三、完形填空Terry Fox never thought he’d live a great life.

Little Pear is a 5-year-old naughty boy living in a Chinese village, and each short chapter brings a new adventure in his family's life.

Nothing I saw in the stores seemed good enough, and I was tired of getting her some regular gifts such as a piece of jewelry of little value every year. Christmas presents should be more meaningful, I thought. I wanted my present to come from the heart.The idea came to me one day while I was looking through Facebook. I saw a photo series where people used old pictures from their childhood and recreated them as adults, I lovedthe idea. I looked through our old family photos and picked one from 16 years ago. It was the day we brought my little sister Vivian home from the hospital. All of my siblings（兄弟姐妹）and I sat in front of the apartment building we used to live in. I was 10 and held Vivian in my arms. My sister Zoe, who was 8 at the time, had her arms around me and our 4-year-old brother, Thomas. That would be perfect for my mom with all of us in the photo. Now I just needed to get them together for the remake.I messaged them in our sibling group chat. "I love it!" Zoe replied. "Yes!" Thomas said. "Westill have that blanket I'm wrapped in!" Vivian said. When I went back home for Christmas, our dad drove us to the old apartment, and we all got in position. l wore a red shirt and bended my head like in the old photo. Thomas had to bend down because now he was taller than us all. Zoe put her arms round us both. Vivian, wrapped in the same blanket, even managed to make a funny baby face. Click! We compared the photos and laughed like kids again.We presented the photo to Mom on Christmas day. She loved it so much and put it on the shelf next to the old one. This year, if you aren't sure what to get for your friends or family, try doing a recreated photo. It's fun, cheap, and comes from the heart.（1）What did the author find when searching online?A People liked taking photos.B People recreated old photos.C People shared their old family photos.D People wrote a lot about their childhood.（2）Why did the author choose the photo?A It includes all her siblings.B It was taken at Christmas.C It was taken in their old house.D It has been on her shelf for 16 year.（3）What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A What everyone felt about the photo.B Why they missed their old days.C How they remade the photo.D What the old photo looked like.（4）What can be the best title for the text?A How to show love to your mom.B A family photo on Facebook.C How to choose Christmas gifts.D A loving inexpensive Christmas gift.3.The world's top car makers are increasingly offering more electric car models as they back away from gasoline engines. This growth is expected to continue, with more people choosing to hit the road with clean-running electric-powered cars.Environmentalists have praised the car makers for taking major steps to limit harmful pollutants linked to worldwide climate change. But electric cars are also known for another big characteristic. They run on electricity instead of gas, and can operate in silence.While many people might consider this a good thing, the main peril is that people walking in areas around electric cars cannot hear the cars coming, and therefore are very likely to be hit. Governments in the United States and Europe have recognized this. So they have setrequirements for car makers to add warning sounds to cars operating on electricity. The U.S. Department of Transportation finalized its rules a year ago, which require electric cars to be equipped with some kind of warning sound when moving at speeds up to 30 kilometers each hour.Representatives from some major car makers spoke about the issue ahead of the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland. Frank Welsch is the head of technical development at Germany's Volkswagen. He told Reuters, "The electric car sound is its identity. It cannot be too noisy or disturbing. It has to be futuristic and cannot sound like anything we had in the past."Of course, one of the easiest solutions will be for car makers to simply reproduce the sound a car will make if it actually runs on gas. But many industry officials believe this will be a mistake. They say this will not support the electric car's true identity. It would also limit great possibilities to link the car's sound to a whole new image, which could help increase sales. They are now trying any sound that can represent the electric cars.（1）What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A It's hard to produce electric cars.B Electric cars use much more energy.C It costs less to drive an electric car.D Electric cars will be more popular.（2）What does the underlined word "peril" in Paragraph 3 mean?A Function.B Trap.C Danger.D Advantage.（3）What does Frank Welsch intend to tell us in Paragraph 5?A How to recognize an electric car sound.B Finding a perfect electric car sound isn't easy.C The electric car sound is really important.D Why a suitable electric car sound is needed.（4）What might be discussed in the following paragraph?A Some models of the electric car sound.B Some new electric cars on themarket. C Reasons why the electric car sound matters. D Customers' opinions on the electric car sound.4.It is common to see many different kinds of insects while spending time outside in the summer. Some of them do not trouble people and can even add beauty to the natural environment. Other insects can harm the environment or humans. The population of these insects seems to stay large and healthy.But scientists say this does not appear to be true for some flying insects that serve an important purpose. There is growing evidence that these insects are decreasing across the world.One researcher looking into the present insect population is Doug Tallamy, a professor at the University of Delaware. He noted a sentence by an American biologist, E. O. Wilson of Harvard University. Wilson once called insects "the little things that run the world".He remembers walking through Washington D. C, in the past when it was "alive with insects, especially butterflies". Now, he said, "The flying insects are actually gone." Wilson said thispoint seemed to be proved during a drive he made last year from Boston to Vermont. He was surprised that, during his trip, he counted only one insect that had hit the car's front window. Several other scientists have carried out similar tests by checking how many insects hit their cars while traveling.While researchers admit this method is not scientific, they say it can still help them understand the changing flying insect population.There have not been many studies done on the flying insect populations covering large areas. However, some international research suggests a downward turn. In 2006, a group of studies showed that there had been a 14-percent drop in ladybugs（瓢虫）in the United States and Canada from 1987 to 2006. In Germany, a 2017 study found an 82-percent drop in the number of flying insects compared to levels recorded in 1990.After the German study, other countries also started looking into the problem. David Wagner of the University of Connecticut says other evidence leads him to believe the findings of the 2017 study are "clearly not a German thing".（1） The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that ______.A the insects cause trouble to peopleB the insects harm the environmentC the insects are numerous and healthyD the insects love staying indoors（2）How does Wilson try to prove the flying insects are gone?A By making some comparisons.B By using his personal experience.C By listing research results.D By studying the causes.（3）What does David Wagner think of the 2017 German study?A He considers the study isn't done in German ways.B He thinks it's less believable than other evidence.C He considers the German study is a good start.D He thinks other places also have the problem.（4）In which section of a magazine may this text appear?A Nature.B Education.C Entertainment.D Health.二、七选五阅读5.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。

2019-2020学年重庆市云阳江口中学校高三英语第二次联考试题及答案解析
2019-2020学年重庆市云阳江口中学校高三英语第二次联考试题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AWhen it comes to the greatest inventions of the world, China’s name is sure to be mentioned several times. There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.AlcoholShocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.TeaChina is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.The Mechanical ClockHave you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.Silk FabricSilk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A.people in the US like alcoholB.beer was popular in the Xia DynastyC.Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accidentD.the author didn’t know alcohol is a Chinese invention2.The author asks the question in Paragraph 4 to show ________.A.ancient Chinese inventors were wiserB.many things in our lives are incompleteC.ancient Chinese people never wasted timeD.the invention of the mechanical clock is important3.Which of the following invention has a longer history?A.Tea.B.Alcohol.C.Silk fabric.D.The mechanical clock.BThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing. The relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include responsibilities and unconditional love, whichprecludemothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, said, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining(保持) and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of work and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may ormay not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse; the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. Sometimes this is not an equal relationship. Daughters don’t always feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. But mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers always “trump(胜过)” friends.4. What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. differ.B. benefit.C. prevent.D. change.5. What can we learn from what Marina said?A. Best friends will not spend money on her wedding.B. Best friends will not remind her of important issues in life.C. Her mother is wiser on account of her age.D. Her mother is definitely not her best friend.6. Why can a mother and a daughter build a even closer relationship today?A. Because they share advanced technology with each other.B. Because they work together to support the whole family.C. Because they experience the same values and traditions.D. Because they have common experience in life and work.7. What is the text mainly about?A. How to build a good mother and daughter relationship.B. A mother-daughter relationship is irreplaceable.C. Mothers want to be daughters’ friends.D. A daughter is a mother’s best friend.CJules Verne was born on 8 February1828 inthe French city of Nantes. From an early age, he had a fascination with exploration and discovery. When he was six, his teacher, Madame Sambin, told him stories about her husband, who disappeared while traveling the world on a ship 30 years before. She told her class that he was like Robinson Crusoe, a fictional castaway who lived on a desert island. Verne would later write stories about similar characters.In 1847, Verne was sent by his family to study law at a university in Paris, but he preferred to write novels, poems and plays. After graduating, he realized he wanted to write adventure stories based on science and technology.Thishad never been done before, but Verne was sure that it would be a success. His first story, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in September 1862. His career lasted for more than 40 years, during which time he wrote more than 60 gripping stories.To begin with, Verne wrote positive and optimistic books. Many of these were to be his most popular creations. Although some included fantastical elements, they were usually based in scientific fact, making them believable. These happy stories weren’t to last. As he got older, Verne became less confident in the idea that science and technology were always good for the planet. His books started to include more scientists who used technology for their own-sometimes evil - purposes. Verne died on 24 March 1905, but new books continued tobe published until 1919. These stories were based on ideas Verne had written about while he was still alive, but featured new characters and plots created by his son, Michel.In the 20th century, his books were translated into more than 140 languages and several successful film versions were released. His creations have been recognized as an inspiration for many scientists and inventors. Many of the futuristic ideas from his most popular books have since come true.8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?A To show Verne’s discovery.B. To offer the background information of Verne.C. To tell of the adventure of Sambin’s husband.D. To explain how Verne began his writing career.9. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in Paragraph 2:A. Writing novels, poems and plays.B. Studying law.C. Graduating from university.D. Wring adventure stories.10. What can be learned about Verne’s late works?A. They covered happy elements.B. They were unbelievable stories.C. They revealed Verne’s doubt on science.D. They were partly written by Berne’s son.11. Which of the following best describes Verne?A. Talented and productive.B. Popular and caring.C. Optimistic and generous.D. Friendly and honest.DThere is no such thing as a “safe" level of drinking, with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health, according to a new study.In an observational study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, researchers from the University of Oxford studied the relationship between the self-reported alcohol intake of some 25,000 people in the UK, and their brainscans. The researchers noted that drinking had an effect on the brain's gray matter-regions in the brain that make up "important bits where information is processed," according to leadauthor Anya Topiwala, a senior clinical researcher at Oxford.“The more people drank, the less the volume of their gray matter,“ Topiwala said via email. "Brain volume reduces with age and more severely with dementia(痴呆症).Smaller brain volume also predicts worse performance on memory testing,“ she explained. "While alcohol only made a small contribution to this(0. 8%), it was a greater contribution than other "modifiable" risk factors," she said, explaining that modifiable risk factors are “ ones you can do something about, in contrast to aging.”The team also investigated whether certain drinking patterns, beverage types and other health conditions made a difference to the impact of alcohol on brain health. They found that there was no "safe" level of drinking-meaning that consuming any amount of alcohol was worse than not drinking it. They also found no evidence that the type of drink— such as wine, spirits or beer—affected the harm done to the brain. However, certain characteristics, such as high blood pressure, obesity or binge-drinking, could put people at higher risk, researchers added.The risks of alcohol have long been known：Previous studies have found that there's no amount of liquor, wine or beer that is safe for your overall health. Alcohol was the leading risk factor for disease and premature death in men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide in 2016, accounting for nearly one in 10 deaths, according to a study published in The Lancet in 2018.“It has been known for decades that heavy drinking is bad for brain health," Sadie Boniface, head of research at the UK's Institute of Alcohol Studies, said via email. "We also shouldn't forget alcohol affects all parts of the body and there are multiple health risks. ”12. What is the function of gray matter?A. Control the mount of alcoholB. Process informationC. Scan the brainD. Predict the performance on memory13. Which is NOT true in the following statements according to the study?A. Drinking alcohol is worse than not drinking.B. With people getting older, brain volume reduces.C. Alcohol was the major risk factor for disease and premature death.D. The less people drink alcohol, the more the volume of their gray matter.14. Which is one of the "modifiable" risk factors?A. SmokingB. AgingC. DeathD. Disease15. What is the main idea of the text?A. The mount of alcohol is not related to people's health.B. People drinking alcohol do harm to their brain health.C. People drinking alcohol lead to dementia.D. Theresa great deal of liquor, wine or beer that is safe for health.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。

Central Park Bike Tour.B. Brooklyn Bridge Bike Tour.C. Brooklyn Bridge Bike RentalD. Waterfront Greenway& Central Park Bike Tour.BIf it were up to me, I’d write this piece next week or even later. Let the dust settle a bit. But I have my father voice in my head: the story is now, so you write it n ow. No one wants to read last week’s news.My father Michael was a journalist. He started at age 16 on his local paper, the Luton News, and after nine years there,he went on to a six-decade career that saw him write more than 40 biographies of Hollywood stars and spend a quarter-century presenting a weekly radio show.From him I learned about deadlines and accuracy, and absorbed his rule about professional clothing, one he had been taught by his first boss. Even when he was working at home, my father would follow that rule: shirt and tie, every day.There were other less obvious lessons. The first is about being manly. Driven and competitive, he wasn’t present for the birth of any of his three children, but he was the very model of being loving and faithful. In a pub, he might manage some drinks, but his main focus would usually be the food menu. He was a model of a different kind of maleness.But perhaps the biggest lesson I learned from him was about resilience (恢复). He got deep blows, losing both his wife and firstborn child, my sister Fiona, within two years of each other. And yet, somehow, he got back up again. He taughthimself to cook and continued to dress neatly, picking out a bright jacket that ensured he stood out in a room. He would meet editors and write stories with the same hunger he had 65 years earlier. Younger colleagues keep using the same word abouthim: appealing.I hope I learned his resilience, the way I learned about being a journalist. People keep telling me that my father was proud of me; and the truth is I was proud of him. Raised in a hard-up corner of wartime England, he went off to see the world —and he never stopped looking forward and upward, staring at the stars.24．What has made the author write down the text so soon?A ．His father’s words motivated him to do so.B ．He wanted to settle down after the writing.C ．He wanted to write it before he forgot it.D ．It was the story he insisted on writing. 25．What was the author ’s impression of his fath er?A ．He always managed to dress up following the fashion.B ．He sometimes had a hard time meeting the work deadline.C ．He trained the author to be manly and do the basic things.D ．He was competitive at work and remained a loving Dad. 26．What was the best lesson the author learned from his father?A ．The necessity of keeping good shape.B ．Quick recovery from suffering or blow.C ．The ability to get a content career.D ．The pride one takes in his/her parents. 27．What can be a suitable title for the text?A ．Dad Left a Deep Impression on Me for His WorkB ．Dad Proved Faithful and Loving for the FamilyC ．My Dad Showed How to Be a Journalist and a ManD ．I Learned to Recover Quickly after a SufferingCAfter finishing a meal at an American Chinese restaurant you probably expect to receive a handful of fortune cookies after you pay the bill. Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. It ’s rather satisfying to cr ackopen a cookie at the end of your meal and read you r “lucky fortune” on the sl ip of paper inside.The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was the first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with“thank you” notes in them. These“thank you ” notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship anddiscrimination of his early life in America.There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the sit e of the fortune cookie’s invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L. A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurantswould serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day—— an evidence to the modern-day popularity ofthe snack. However, anattempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited for beingSo the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.28．What do we know about fortune cookies?A ．They are as popular in China as in America.B ．They contain slips of paper with good wishes.C ．They first appeared in America during WWII.D ．They are often charged to the customers’ bill.29．Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?A ．To make profit.B ．To express gratitude.C ．To uplift people’s spirits.D ．To help people out of hardship.30．Which of the following sentences may be found in Jung’ s cookies?A ．The fortune you seek is in another cookie.B ．Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.C ．I ’m being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.D ．Only taste fortune cookies; disregard all others.31．What can be a suitable title for the text?A ．A Symbol of Chinese CultureB ．Chinese Restaurants in AmericaC ．Can fortune cookie tell your fortune?。

2019-2020学年重庆市云阳高级中学高三英语二模试卷及参考答案
2019-2020学年重庆市云阳高级中学高三英语二模试卷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AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BWe use what is known as inner speech, where we talk to ourselves, to evaluate situations and make decisions. Now, a robot has been trained to speak aloud its inner decision-making process, giving us a view of how it responds to contradictory demands.Arianna Pipitone and Antonio Chella at the University of Palermo, Italy, programmed a humanoid robot named Pepper, with software that models human cognitive(认知的)processes, which allowed Pepper to retrieve (检索)relevant information from its memory and find the correct way to act based on human commands, as well as a text — to — speech processor. It allowed Pepper to voice its decision-making process while completing a task, "With inner speech, we can better understand what the robot wants to do and what its plan is," says Chella.The researchers asked Pepper to set a dinner table according to etiquette (礼仪)rules they had programmed into the robot. Inner speech was either enabled or disabled to see how it affected Pepper's ability to do what was instructed.When instructed to place a napkin on a fork with its inner speech enabled, Pepper asked itself what the etiquette required and concluded that this request went against the rules it had been given. It then asked the researchers if putting the napkin on the fork was the correct action. When told it was, Pepper said, "OK, I prefer to follow your desire," and explained how it was going to place the napkin on the fork.When asked to do the same task with inner speech disabled, Pepper knew this contradicted etiquette rules, so it didn't perform the task or explain why.With the potential for robots to become more common in the future, this type of programming could help the public understand their abilities and limitations, says Sarah Sebo at theUniversityofChicago. "It maintains people's trust and enables cooperation and interactions between humans and robots," she says. However, this experiment only used a single human participant, says Sebo. "It's unclear how their approach would compare across a wide range of human participants," she says.4. Why does the author mention how people make decisions in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic.B. To make comparisons.C. To provide an example.D. To support his argument.5. How did Pepper react to the contradictory instruction with its inner speech enabled?A. It failed to complete the task.B. It followed the etiquette rules.C. It made a random decision.D. It communicated with the researchers.6. What did Sarah Sebo think of the research?A. It was creative but worthless.B. It was a good try but the result was a failure.C. It was inspiring but needed further evidence.D. It was carefully designed but poorly performed.7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Robot Taught To Be PoliteB. Robot Can Explain Its DecisionC. Robot Making Decisions: No Longer A DreamD. Robot-Human Communication: No Longer A ProblemCIf you've ever had a dog, you know just howdeep a connection you can develop with “man's best friend”. But a dog's life is much shorter than humans, about 12 to 15 years long, which means every dog owner has to go through the heartbreaking moment when their loving pet passes away.Why not make a clone of that dog then? This is the solution offered by a South Korean company, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation. The company has already successfully cloned at least 400 dogs, mostly for US customers, ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005. Now, Sooam Biotech has introduced its business toUKdog owners as well, offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.To clone a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died. Meanwhile,another dog is selected to supply an egg. Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb (子宫) of a female dog. The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months. The whole process takes less than a day, but it comes at a shockingly high price — around￡63,000.But if you can't afford it now, you can also save the cell in a laboratory andaccess it at a later date.However, magical as cloning might sound, there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the original one. Just like identical twins of humans, they share the exactly same DNA but there will still be small differences between them. “The spots on a Dalmatian (斑点狗) clone will be different, for example” Insung Hwang, head of Sooam Biotech, told The Guardian.Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “cloneable”. Apart from genes, personality is also determined by upbringing and environment, which are both random elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome, Professor Tom Kirkwood atNewcastle University,UK, told The Telegraph.Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after all.Kirkwood, a dog owner himself, pointed out, “An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go.”8. What service does Sooam Biotech Research Foundation offer?A. Making copies of pet dogs.B. Giving pet dogs identical twinsC. Helping dogs give birth to more puppies.D.Helping dog owners love their dogs more.9. Which order is correct in the dog cloning process?a. An egg is taken from another dog.b. A skin cell is taken from the pet dog.c. The egg grows into a puppy in two months.d. The egg is placed in the womb of a female dog.e. The DNA in the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell.A.a→d→b→e→c.B. a→e→b→d→cC. b→a→d→e→c.D. b→a→e→d→c.10. What can we learn about dog cloning from the passage?A. It has not been put into practice until recently.B. It is very popular among US andUKpet owners.C. It might not give the owners an exactlysame dog.D. It is very expensive and usually takes half a year to complete.11. What doesKirkwoodthink of dog cloning?A. He disagrees with it.B. He supports it.C. He is curious about it.D. He thinks it unbelievable.DAlaska—The American city Anchorage is recovering from a powerful earthquake Friday that damaged public buildings, homes and roads.The 7.0 earthquake caused buildings to slake.

The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a tree and muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was another sudden shock.24．The reason why James attempted to kill himself was that ________.A．a terrible electrical accident happened to himB．nobody in the whole world cared about himC．he had to live in a dark and silent worldD．he was struck by the lightning once more25．What was James doing when he was struck by the lightning?A．Putting an end to his life. B．Sheltering from the rain under a tree.C．Taking a walk with a stick. D．Lying on the ground.26．What does the underlined word “compellent” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Gradual. B．Wrong. C．Convincing. D．True.27．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．What a Sudden Shock B．A Terrible Electrical AccidentC．An Unforgettable Adventure D．James Franco and His wifeCIt is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It Look children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” child ren returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child’s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socio-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the c hildren selected from the same socio-economic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child’s development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorerfamilies.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus of parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome education unfairness.28．What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program?A．The large number of poor families. B．The disapproval from children.C．The long period of time. D．The late start of the program.29．What do we know about the “Missouri” program?A．It focused on the children’s first school teachers.B．It helped the children return to the same home.C．It made the children improved in many aspects.D．It gave the parents advice on their development.30．According to the passage, what is likely to influence children s performance?A．The number of family members. B．The teacher-student relationship.C．The parent-child communication. D．The intelligence of their parents. 31．How does the author develop the passage?A．By listing figures. B．By making comparisons.C．Ry presenting ideas. D．By drawing conclusions.DWellington: Huawei has started a rugby-themed media campaign in a bid to win over New Zealand’s public after the country’s security agency blocked the Chinese technology giant’s equipment from being used in a nationwide Internet network.“5G without Huawei is like rugby without New Zealand,” ads in New Zealand’s two largest newspapers read alongside a photo of players competing in a ball. Large posters also appeal to the country’s love of the sport. In November, New Zealand’s Government Communications Security Department (GCSD) told Spark it couldn’t use equipment from Huawei-the worlds largest telecommunication equipment company—in the building of its 5G network because an unspecific “significant network security risk was identified”. Spark is now in the process of seeing if it can make changes to prevent those risks, although GCSD has declined to publicly say how that would happen.Huawei’s newspaper ad goes on to argue the decision would mean less advance d technology and higher prices for New Zealand customers. The ads come after the company last month publicly offered to only use New Zealand, rather than Chinese, staff to build the network—in a bid to easefears—and called for an urgent meeting with the government, denying (否认) there had been any wrongdoing.Western spy agencies have increasingly raised security concerns about Huawei—China’s largest telecommunications company-over what they say are possible links to the Chinese government, with the United States reportedly pressing Five Eyes intelligence network allies (同盟国) to avoid the company. Australia and Canada were the first countries to ban Huawei from a building of 5G networks.The company has repeatedly denied accusations.New Zealand’s top politicians have repeatedly denied the GCSD decision was influenced by other Western powers and say it’s about the particular technology being suggested, not China. They have also denied suggestions New Zealand’s diplomatic ties with China have been tense over the decision, with the official promotion of a major China—New Zealand tourism project now postponed.32．Why did Huawei make the ad?A．To ask New Zealanders for advice.B．To tell New Zealanders how powerful it is.C．To argue with the government of New Zealand.D．To get support from the public in New Zealand.33．What will happen if New Zealanders force Huawei out?A．They will be blamed by Chinese.B．They will be tricked by Americans.C．They will miss advanced technology and pay more.D．They will lose a chance of being stronger.34．Why does GCSD refuse to state the risks clearly?A．They are secret. B．They are imaginary.C．They are difficult to decide. D．They are beyond description. 35．Which country plays the key role in the campaign against Huawei?A．Australia. B．New Zealand. C．USA. D．Canada.第二节七选五（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。
