There I was 22 to see the attendant (工作人员) selling him a ticket as if he were any other visitor. Then, with the ticket in one hand and 23 the wall with the fingers of the other, the blind man reached the stairs 24 to the hallway.“That man is blind. What would a blind man climb up the tower for?” I said to the attendant, expecting him to show some 25 , but he didn’t answer.“Not the 26 certainly,” I said. “Perhaps he wants to 27 .”I bought a ticket and 28 up the stairs.

There is no 38 so good as this for feeling the difference between light and shade.

"Whenever I tell people that fish have ears, they look at me like I’m mad," he says in a BBC film that examines the ways in which fish communicate.away. Studies also show that noise can hamper(妨碍) the development of some young fish, with some born abnormal and others failing to hatch at all.The professor Simpson, who recorded the communication of fish on Blue Planet II, said that fish talked to each other through a variety of different languages. Audible(听得见的) communication is key for fish while hunting as a group, to warn each other about the approach of the killer. Professor Simpson also said that there was a "full" orchestra of sounds from the communication of marine life but that this was being drowned out by human noise from boats, pile driving and the search of finding undeveloped oil and gas reserves.Professor Simpson said, "We are only now beginning to understand the full impact of man-made noise on fish and to assess impacts on how they communicate. But I’m sure that action can be taken to reduce man-made noise within 20 years. By learning to listen, we can help restore the natural acoustic conditions."28. Noise pollution affects the fish in many ways when lorries and trains pass over the bridges EXCEPT ________.A. makes some born abnormalB. masks the calling for mateC. prevents some being hatchedD. ruins fish hearing completely29. What does the underlined sentence probably mean in paragraph 5?A. All kinds of sounds mix together.B. The orchestra will be performed by the fish.C. Various sea animals talk with different languages.D. The sounds of the sea animals are better than the orchestra.30. What’s the attitude of the professor towards the future condition of the sea?A. Indifferent.B. Optimistic.C. Critical.D. Suspicious.31. What’s the best title for the text?A. Man-made Noise Hits Fish Lives.B. Sound Pollution Ruins Creatures.C. Marine Lives Are Valued by Experts.D. Sea Animals Are at the Risk of Dying out.DIn the late 1960s, the anthropologist(人类学家) Edmund Carpenter arrived in New Guinea armed with mirrors, video and Polaroid cameras, and a mission: to disrupt(扰乱) the minds of members of the Biami tribe, who had never seen full reflections or images of themselves. "After their first astonished response—coveting their mouths and ducking their heads—they stood frozen, staring at their images." Carpenter’s devices disturb that inner image, causing discomfort. But not for long. Within days, the villagers groomed(打扮) themselves openly before mirrors and began taking Polaroid shots of each other."It’s unclear if the Biami were really as unfamiliar with mirrors as Carpenter thought. But in any case, what’s striking isn’t how strange their reaction seems, but how relatable. You know how it feels when you make a pleasant remark in a lift, but nobody responds? Or when two people greeting each other misjudge whether to go for a handshake, hug or social kiss? That’s the same awkwardness: "self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty," as Dahl defines it. Su ddenly, I see I’m viewed not as a friendly conversationalist, but as a strange person who talks in lifts.As awkwardness feels unpleasant, it’s natural to want to overcome it. Dahl’s initial motivation for writing her book A Theory of Awkwardness, was to get over her own. But after a journey through various awkward experiences, she makes a persuasive case for celebrating it. We live in an era with more opportunity than ever to improve the image we’re presenting, and more pressure than ever to do so. But awkwardness breaks that false appearance, exposing the imperfect life behind it. It creates aindicates that taking a friendlier attitude toward awkwardness might help us make the connections with people holding different opinions.32. How did New Guineans feel when they first saw themselves in the mirror?A. Curious about their looks.B. Satisfied with their images.C. Shocked at their reflections.D. Ashamed of their appearance.33. Which of the following awkwardness is "self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty"?A. You slip over just to the face of your girl in dream.B. You are caught cheating but get nothing in an exam.C. You are found standing in public with your trousers zip open.D. You’re refused when offering your seat to a s eemingly pregnant woman.34. What causes you to feel embarrassed from time to time?A. Seeking perfection.B. Not knowing anything novel.C. Avoiding pressure from others.D. Lacking courage to face some problems.35. What can be inferred to solve our awkwardness?A. Treat others in a friendly way.B. Connect with your friends regularly.C. Get ready to guard against any threat from others.D. Express yourself honestly with no defensive cover.第二节（共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。

Victorian state schools will be banned from using facialrecognition technology in classrooms unless they have the ____41____ of parents,students and the Department of Education.Students may be justifiably horrified at the thought of being ____42____ as they move throughout the school during a day. But a roll marking system could be as simple as looking at a tablet or iPad once a day ____43____ being signed off on a paper roll. It simply depends on the implementation. Trials have already begun in independent schools and. up to 100 campuses across Australia. According to the developers, the technology promises to save teachers up to 25 hours a week by ____44____ the need for them to mark the roll at the start of every class. Many students now have smart phones that recognise faces right now. There are also ____45____ face recognition apps for Android phones and iPhones. So face recognition is already in our schools.And I argue that, like earlier technologies such as the motor vehicle and mobile phone, a strategy where adoption is managed to create the most good and least harm is appropriate. We shouldn’t simply ____46____ it.We are now in a golden age of face recognition. The main reason for rapid adoption is that recognition ____47____has improved significantly in recent years. The simple application of this technology proposed for schools is to collect the student roll call ____48___ for classes. This is a compulsory requirement imposed by the education department.However, ____49____ is often raised as an objection and this. issue can never be dismissed lightly.Objections are mostly based on the collection and distribution of the photos. But every school ____50____ photos. of their students already and schools have strict control over distribution. Such controls would necessarily be built into any school certified system. The only fundamental ____51____ of the process is whether a teacher or a computer recognizes the student.Face recognition technologies will become widely adopted across society over the coming years.Concerns over implementation and privacy may ____52____ adoption in some places, but the____53____ will come in and will change business practices right across the world once that happens.In short, this technology has the ability to free up our time and reduce the costs. As with all new technologies, of course, face recognition ____54____ reasonable concerns. Constructive policies and dialog are the preferred way forwardto gain the ____55____ benefit for society at large, and to make sure we do the least harm.4 1.

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In university I had a part-time job at a shop that sold doughnuts and coffee. Situated on a block where several buses stopped, it served the people who had a few minutes to wait for their bus.Every afternoon around four o' clock, a group of schoolchildren would burst into the shop, and business would come to a stop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass on. But I didn't mind if the children waited for their bus inside. Sometimes I would hand out a bus: fare when a ticket went missing always repaid the next day. On snowy days I would give away some. doughnuts. I would lock the door at closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived.I enjoyed my young friends, but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their lives - until one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four o’clock. He identified himself as the father of two of my favorites.I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. I worry about them taking two buses to get home. Itmeans a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them. When they are with the doughnut lady, I know they are safe. I told him it wasn't a big deal. and that I enjoyed the kids.So I was the Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but became a landmark.Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children. They become, well,Doughnut Ladies. Like the men at the skating rink (# ж 5) who let my boys ring home; Or the busd river who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldn't leave until I arrived to pick her up; Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors. “Was that a police car I saw at your house last night?”That wasn't a police car. That was a Doughnut Lady.56.

According to the author, those who ________ are Doughnut Ladies.A. are always ready to help othersB. provide free doughnuts for the poorC. work in the doughnut store for a whileD. are curious about the happenings around59.

A travel brochure.B. A food magazine.C.A shopping guide.D. A science journal.(C)What do you remember about your life before you were three? Few people can remember anything that happened to them in their early years. Adults memories of the next few years also tend to be unclear. Most people remember only a few events usually ones that were meaningful and distinctive,' such as being hospitalized or the birth of a new baby.How might this inability to recall early experiences be explained? The passage of time does not account for it, adultshave excellent recognition of pictures of people who attended high school with them 35 years earlier. Another seemingly reasonable explanation that infants do not form enduring memories at this point in development also is incorrect, Children two and a half to three years old remember experiences that occurred in their first year, and eleven month olds remember some events a year later.However, three other explanations seem more promising. One involves physiological changes relevant to memory. Maturation of the frontal lobes (额叶) of the brain continues throughout early childhood, and this part of the brain may be critical for remembering particular episodes in ways that can be recalled later. Demonstrations of infants and very young children's long-term memory have involved their repeating motor activities that they had seen or done earlier, such as reaching in the dark for objects, putting a bottle in a dolls mouth, or pulling apart two pieces of a toy. The brain's level of physiological maturation may support these types of memories, but not ones depending on clear verbal descriptions.A second explanation involves the influence of the social world on children's language use.Hearing and tellingstories about events may help children store information in ways that will endure into later childhood and adulthood. Through hearing stories with a clear beginning, middle, and ending children may. learn to take out the idea of events in ways that they will be able to describe many years later. Consistent with this view parents and children increasingly engage in discussions of past events when children are. about three years old. However, hearing such stories is not sufficient for younger children to form enduring memories. Telling such stories to two year olds does not seem to produce long-lasting verbalizable memories.A third likely explanation for infantile memory loss involves mismatch between the ways in which infants encode information and the ways in which older children and adults recall it. Whether people can remember an, event depends critically on the fit between the way in which they earlier encoded the information and the way in which they later attempt to recall it. The better the person is able to reconstruct the perspective from which the material was encoded, the more likely that recall will be successful.63. In the discussion of children's inability to recall earlyexperiences, paragraph 2 serves to ________.A. argue that the assumptions in this part have been morethoroughly researched than the theories presented later in the passageB. explain why some theories about infantile memory lossare wrong before presenting ones more likely to be trueC. explain why infantile memory loss is well worth theefforts of researchers both now and thenD. argue that events that are not proved by evidenceshould generally be considered unreliable64. What does paragraph 3 suggest about long-term memory in children?A. Young children have better long-term recall of short verbal exchanges than of long ones.B. Young children may form long- term memories of actionsthey see earlier than of things they hear or are told.C. Children long-term recall of motor activities increaseswhen such activities are accompanied by precise verbal descriptions.D. Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain is important for the long-term memory of motoractivities but not verbal descriptions.65. According to paragraph 4, what role may telling stories to children play in forming their childhood memories?A. It may speed up the physiological maturing of the brain.B. It may help preschool children to recall the past quickly.C. It may bring about their memory recovery later.D. It may strengthen children' s verbal capacities.66. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. It shows how physical maturation affects the memory.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A problem shared can be a problem doubledPeople discuss their problems with friends in the hope that they 'll gain some idea on how to solve them. And even if they don't find a way to solve their problems, it feels good to let off some steam.Indeed, having close friends to trust is a good relief against poor mental health. (67)__________.The term psychologist's use for negative problem sharing is co-rumination. Co-rumination is the mutual encouragement to discuss problems too much, repeatedlygoing over the same problems, expecting future problems and focusing on negative feelings. It is more about keeping talking about problems than solving them. (68)__________. In a study involving children aged seven to 15 years of age,researchers found that co-rumination in both boys and girls is associated with high-quality and close friendships. However, in girls, it was also associated with anxiety and depression (the same association was not found with the boys).If we look at the theory behind why individuals ruminate, it may shed some light on why friends co-ruminate.(69)__________. So if two people believe rumination is beneficial, then working together to co-ruminate to find answers may seem like a useful thing to do, as two heads may appear better than one. But focusing on problems and negative emotion together can increase negative beliefs and moods- and result in a greater need to co-ruminate.Traditionally, therapy has not prioritised handling rumination or co-rumination directly as maintaining' factors in psychological problems. Instead, approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have aimed to challenge only the content of rumination. Humanistic approaches such ascounselling have provided conditions to potentiallyruminate on the content of problems. And psychodynamic (心理动力) approaches such as psychoanalysis have aimed to analyze the content of rumination.(70)__________. But if this occurs in therapy, a strong therapeutic relationship may well be a positiveoutcome of co-rumination regardless of whether the client's symptoms improve or not.And, on the social side, discussing problems with friends doesn’t always ha ve to lead to worsening mental health, as long as the discussion involves finding solutions and the person with the problem acts on those solutions. Then, relationships can be positive and beneficial to both parties, and a problem shared can really be a problem halved.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Could you be flexitarian?What kind of food do you eat? Are you conscious of the types of food you consume? Although there is research on theright diet to follow to help us maintain a healthy lifestyle but it's hard to know which one to pick and, once chosen, it's harder still to stick to it. And now there's another choice for you.A flexitarian diet involves eating plant-based foods and only occasionally eating meat and fish.This is a lovely alternative to being a vegetarian by not completely resisting meat.This eating style allows you to supplement some ingredients that you wouldn't get in a stricter vegan (纯素) diet. And like veganism, flexitarianism isn't about eating carefully to help you lose a few pounds it's something people choose for ethical reasons, to help the planet. And a study into the global food system and how it affects the climate, has found that eating mainly plant-based foods is one of three key steps towards a sustainable future for all.This research found that food waste will need to be halved and farming practices will also have to improve to achieve this. But without a single solution, a combined approach is needed. Dr. Marco Springmann, one of the lead authors of the report argued "We really found that a combination of measures would be needed to stay withinenvironmental limits and those include changes towards healthier more plant-based diets.While vegans think it's wrong for animals to be killed for. food, flexitarians believe eating meat once in a while is. acceptable. And Dr. Springmann agrees as long as we treat it as a luxury, it's probably acceptable but you shouldn't have more. than one. serving of red meat, which includes beef and pork, per week." And here's another fact to digest: If we moved to this type of diet, the study found that greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture would be cut by more than half.V.

Reading ComprehensionSection A (15’)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)This summer we said goodbye to unnecessary plastic waste. Starbucks committed to ___41___ plastic straws in all locations by 2020, IKEA banned all single-use plastics from its stores, and entire cities banned the use of plastic bags and straws. And now we have one more thing to add to our consciousness-raising list: People are starting to understand the ___42___ of contact lenses.According to a new research out of the American Chemical Society, 20 percent of people who wear contact lenses throw them away in the toilet or sink. But as medical ___43___, contact lenses are specifically designed to be resistant to such environm ents, and ___44___ they don’t biodegrade easily. Throwing contact lenses into toilet is particularly concerning because their size and ___45___ allow them to slip through filters（过滤器）meant to keep non-biological waste out of wastewater treatment plants.The study found that the chemical and mechanical processing at these treatment facilities were unable to ___46___ break down contact lenses, leaving them as part of the treated water. Post-treatment wastewater is typically spread on fields, where contact lenses can make their way into surface water and cause environmental damage.It may seem like a small thing, but with over 45 million contact ___47___ in the United States, all that plastic adds up. We are talking about 22 tons of contact lenses being improperly thrown away every year here, unnecessarily adding to the hundreds of thousands of tons of microplastics ___48___ in our oceans.So what is the right way to throw away contact lenses?It turns out that properly dealing with contact lenses is pretty ___49___. One option is to throw them in the garbage. While this will keep them out of our water ___50___, it sends them to landfill—which is not really any better. Unfortunately, you can’t just throw your contacts in the recycling bin and call it a day, either. Due to their size and packaging materials, recycling facilities typically cannot ___51___ contact lensprocessing, so they go to landfills. In order to actually be recycled, contact lenses need to be ___52___ at a specialty recycling facility.This does n’t mean that all eco-conscious contact-wearers must stick to glasses, though. Fortunately, in an effort to ___53___ the waste produced by contact lenses and facilitate the recycling process, some eye care companies have started their own recycling ___54___. Through these programs, individuals can ship their used contacts to TerraCycle（a company that ___55___ in recycling the hard-to-recycle）for free.41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AI’ve become increasingly concerned about the linguistic sloppiness of the average worker, and not those who have learned English as a second language but native English speakers, regardless of income level, schooling or other determining factors.The number of people who read seems to be decreasing. The digital world has become the preferred baby sitter for children and the most effective way for adults to comfort themselves after a day’s work. Teachers, overworked and underpaid, seem to be fighting a losing battle – or are some prolonging it?These days I see glaring grammatical errors on résumés and cover letters, websites, signs, emailsregardless of management skills or income level. Job h unters write asking me for “advise”. People who are in the job market, hoping to be invited in for an interview, write some of these, and the paperwork is full of punctuation and grammatical mistakes. Were they careless? Or do they not know? Maybe it doesn’t matter. Maybe the hiring authority doesn’t know the difference either.The other day I saw the back of a company shirt that said: “providing quality service since 10 years.”A company shirt? How many were printed and are worn by employees who walk around advertising that their company has someone in an upper-level management position who didn’t catch the error or, worse yet, didn’t know the difference?Last week a senior level manager emailed me. He confused “its” and “it’s” in three different places. Here’s another example: I do product testing for a research panel. The product came with a slip of paper that said: “This commitment covers not discussing this product or it’s usage with others outside your home.”Here’s what really bugs me: a rule that s eems to have come into effect – if in doubt, add an apostrophe. So what has happened is that people all over America have lost the understanding of the difference between plural and possessive.Your résumés and your cover letter are not just a summary of your background. They are not just an introduction of you when you hope to be considered for an interview. First and foremost, it is a brochure, and it is selling a product, and the product is you. If you wouldn’t go to an interview in blue jeans, don’t send your cover letter and résumés with mistakes to a prospective employer.Don’t rely on Microsoft Word’s ABC/grammar checker. It isn’t able to detect if a word is spelled correctly but used out of context. The grammar checker won’t help you unless you hav e a fundamental understanding of grammar to begin with. In fact, if you defer to the grammar checker’s advice, you’ll probably increase your number of mistakes.An excellent reference book to keep on hand is The Elements of Grammar by Margaret Shertzer. In “Words Often Confused”, it clarifies the differences between pairs of words such as “well/good” and “less/fewer”.Don’t tell yourself it doesn’t matter. Above all, don’t tell yourself that everyone speaks poorly these days, and the hiring authority won’t know or care. The ability to communicate, written and spoken, is of utmost importance – certainly in business. And it only becomes more valuable as fewer people are able to demonstrate it.56. The examples cited in paragraphs 4 and 5 are intended to illustrate ______.A. the employees are proud of their companyB. to err is humanC. holding senior positions doesn’t guarantee correct usage of languageD. managers are so busy as to be careless with their language57. According to the author, when Ameri can people are not sure whether to use “it’s” or “its”, they arelikely to ______.A. use the formerB. use the latterC. ask the author for adviceD. turn to Microsoft Word58. The underlined word “defer” can be best replaced by ______.A. consultB. followC. objectD. yield59. Which of the following statements will the author probably agree with?A. Going to a job interview in smart jeans is better than sending résumés with mistakes to aprospective employer.B. Microsoft Word’s sp elling checker cannot always spot a mistake because it has a limitedvocabulary.C. Some teachers are themselves using language incorrectly.D. The hiring authorities care about linguistic correctness and act as role models.BKettlebells do not hurt people. People do. A kettlebell will get your respect – the easy way or the hard way. Here is the easy way.1. Get a medical clearance.Get clearance, especially from an orthopedist and a cardiologist. The latter is no joking matter, since kettlebell training can be extremely intense.2. Always be aware of your surroundings.Find a training area with a non-slippery surface on which you are not afraid to drop a kettlebell.The area must be clear of objects you might trip over – including other kettlebells – or that you might hit with a kettlebell. There should be no people or animals in a radius where you could injure them.3. Train barefoot or wear shoes with a flat, thin sole and room for the toes to spread.Training barefoot is superior for health and performance reasons. If you must wear shoes, wear Converse Chuck Taylors, Vibram Five Fingers, or similar shoes that have thin soles and do not pinch the toes together. You have sensory receptors on the bottoms of your feet that make you stronger and improve balance and coordination. Wearing traditional shoes diminishes the ability of these receptors to work properly, and therefore inhibits performance and can increase the risk of injury. Go native.4. Never contest for space with a kettlebell.Do not try to save a rep that has gone wrong. Guide the kettlebell to fall harmlessly, and move out of the way if necessary. And remember, quick feet are happy feet.5. Practice all safety measures at all times.Respect every kettlebell, even the lightest one. Always use perfect form picking up and setting down a kettlebell. The set is not over until the bell is safely parked.6. Keep moving once your heart rate is high.After a hard set, keep moving by walking, shadow boxing, or moving your arms to help your heart pump the blood.

高考英语真题模拟试题专项汇编3阅读理解_降环保类含解析

2020年高考英语真题模拟试题专项汇编（3）阅读理解-健康环保类1. Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.(1)Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A.They must run long distances.B.They are qualified for the marathon.C.They have to follow special rules.D.They are good at swinging their legs.(2)What advantage does race walking have over running?A.It's more popular at the Olympics.B.It's less challenging physically.C.It's more effective in body building.D.It's less likely to cause knee injuries.(3)What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking?A.Getting experts' opinions.B.Having a medical checkup.C.Hiring an experienced coach.D.Doing regular exercises.(4)Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking?A.Skeptical.B.Objective.C.Tolerant.D.Conservative.2. When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn't cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. "It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur - unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year" says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. "The ecosystem down there can't handle this non-native species(物种).It's destroying the environment. It's them or us." says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s, the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it's not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton's job these days is trying to promote fur.Then there's Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says, "To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-I think that's going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York." Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She's trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.3. According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions (份), it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly (表面上)participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the "I'll have what she's having'' effect. However, we'll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a bit because Isee the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?(1).What is the recent study mainly about?A.Food safety.B.Movie viewership.C.Consumer demand.D.Eating behavior.(2).What does the underlined word ''beanpoles" in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Big eaters.B.Overweight persons.C.Picky eaters.D.Tall thin persons.(3).Why did the researchers hire the actor?A.To see how she would affect the participants.B.To test if the participants could recognize her.C.To find out what she would do in the two tests.D.To study why she could keep her weight down.(4).On what basis do we "adjust the influence" according to the last paragraph?A.How hungry we are.B.How slim we want to be.C.How we perceive others.D.How we feel about the food.4. Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking, planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age, a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests.Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1,000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteers' memory and thinking skills through a battery of tests. Then, for eight years, the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests.Those who had held mentally stimulating(刺激), demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests. And they tended to lose cognitive(认知) function at a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants' overall health status."This works just like physical exercise," says Francisca Then, who led the study. "After a long run, you may feel like you're in pain, you may feel tired. Butit makes you fit. After a long day at work-sure, you will feel tired, but it can help your brain stay healthy."It's not just corporate jobs, or even paid work that can help keep your brain fit, Then points out. A waiter's job, for example, that requires multitasking, teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work. And "running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating(协调)," she says. "You have to organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries."Of course, our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons-including other environmental influences or genetic factors. Still, continuing to challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help.(1).Why did the scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests?A.To assess their health status.B.To evaluate their work habits.C.To analyze their personality.D.To measure their mental ability.(2).How does Francisca Then explain her findings in paragraph 4?A.By using an expert's words.B.By making a comparison.C.By referring to another study.D.By introducing a concept.(3).Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Retired Workers Can Pick Up New SkillsB.Old People Should Take Challenging JobsC.Your Tough Job Might Help Keep You SharpD.Cognitive Function May Decline As You Age5. For those who can stomach it, working out before breakfast may be more beneficial for health than eating first, according to a study of meal timing and physical activity.Athletes and scientists have long known that meal timing affects performance. However, far less has been known about how meal timing and exercise might affect general health.To find out, British scientists conducted a study. They first found 10 overweight and inactive but otherwise healthy young men, whose lifestyles are, forbetter and worse, representative of those of most of us. They tested the men's fitness and resting metabolic (新陈代谢的)rates and took samples (样品) of their blood and fat tissue.Then, on two separate morning visits to the scientists' lab, each man walked for an hour at an average speed that, in theory, should allow his body to rely mainly on fat for fuel. Before one of these workouts, the men skipped breakfast, meaning that they exercised on a completely empty stomach after a long overnight fast (禁食). On the other occasion, they ate a rich morning meal about two hours before they started walking.Just before and an hour after each workout, the scientists took additional samples of the men's blood and fat tissue.Then they compared the samples. There were considerable differences. Most obviously, the men displayed lower blood sugar levels at the start of their workouts when they had skipped breakfast than when they had eaten. As a result, they burned more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first. On the other hand, they burned slightly more calories(卡路里), on average, during the workout after breakfast than after fasting.But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the most significant, the researchers found. Multiple genes behaved differently, depending on whether someone had eaten or not before walking. Many of these genes produce proteins (蛋白质) that can improve blood sugar regulation and insulin(胰岛素) levels throughout the body and so arc associated with improved metabolic health. These genes were much more active when the men had fasted before exercise than when they had breakfasted.The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits from exercise, it may be wise to skip eating first.(1).The underlined expression "stomach it" in Paragraph 1 most probably means "_________".A.digest the meal easilyB.manage without breakfastC.decide wisely what to eatD.eat whatever is offered(2).Why were the 10 people chosen for the experiment?A.Their lifestyles were typical of ordinary people.B.Their lack of exercise led to overweight.C.They could walk at an average speed.D.They had slow metabolic rates.(3).What happened to those who ate breakfast before exercise?A.They successfully lost weight.B.They consumed a bit more calories.C.They burned more fat on average.D.They displayed higher insulin levels.(4).What could be learned from the research?A.A workout after breakfast improves gene performances.B.Too much workout often slows metabolic rates.C.Lifestyle is not as important as morning exercise.D.Physical exercise before breakfast is better for health.te blight (晚疫病) is a common disease of plants such as tomatoes and potatoes, capable of wiping out entire crops on commercial-sized fields. If conditions are favorable, it can quickly spread to other plants through wet soil and wind.In history, late blight caused over 1 million deaths in Ireland. Today it still causes more than 6.7 billion dollars in annual losses worldwide. Small farms and growers are often the hardest hit, many stating losing almost two-thirds of their yearly production, because usually they don’t have money to identify and treat the disease.But farmers may have a new weapon now. The technology, designed by researchers at North Carolina State University can recognize sick plants early by employing a piece of test paper that plugs into (接入) a reader on a smartphone.Plants produce signaling chemicals from their leaves. “If a plant is diseased, the type and concentration of these chemicals changes,” said Wei Qingshan, an engineer at North Carolina State University. If the farmer suspects a late blight infection is underway, he can remove a leaf from a living plant and place it in a small, covered glass jar. After the leaf’s volatile (挥发性的) chemicals haveaccumulated for 15 minutes or so, the cap is removed and the air is pumped from the jar into a reader attached to the back of a smartphone. Inside the smartphone reader is a piece of paper specially treated with dyes (染料) by the researchers. Upon interacting (相互作用) with the plant’s volatile chemicals, the paper changes color to indicate the presence or absence of the late blight.The researchers hope to tailor the technology for other crop diseases, which continue to appear as climate change and global trade increase the stress on agricultural systems. “This is an important step in the improvement of global food security,” Wei Qingshan said.1.What are the statistics in Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The damage caused by late blight.B.The money put into late blight treatment.C.The number of crops in a commercial-sized field.D.The yearly production of small farms and growers.2.According to Wei Qingshan, how would a farmer find out if a plant was infected?A.By treating the plant with special dyes.B.By putting volatile chemicals on the plant.C.By testing the air in the jar with a leaf inside.D.By examining the land with a smartphone reader.3.What do the researchers expect of their new technology?A.It’ll reach farmers soon.B.It’ll get rid of late blight.C.It’ll be beneficial to the climate.D.It’ll be able to detect more crop diseases.4.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To introduce a test method of late blight.B.To explain the causes of late blight.C.To discuss the effects of late blight.D.To tell the history of late blight.7.The study, published today in the journal PLOS Biology shows that the average body size and number of sharks and other marine predators—vital to maintaininghealthy ocean ecosystems—fell significantly near cities with more than 10,000 people and associated fishing boats.The minimum distance from people and fishing which had no measurable effect was 1,250 kilometers. This is far further than previous studies have suggested and probably reflects the increased distances fishing boats can now travel. As a result, sharks were only observed at 12% of sites monitored.Lead author Dr. Tom Letessier said, “Human activity is now the biggest influence on shar ks’ distribution. Just 13% of the world’s oceans can be considered‘wilderness’ but sharks and other predators are much more common and significantly larger at distances greater than 1,250 kilometers from people. This suggests that large marine predators are generally unable to thrive near to people and is another clear example of the impact of human overuse on our seas.”To collect their data, the team analyzed videos taken at 1,041 sites across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, selected to test the biggest possible range of conditions and habitats. Sharks and other free-swimming predators were studied using cameras attached cannisters(炮筒)filled with bait. In total, the team recorded 23,200 animals representing 109 species. These included 841 individual sharks from 19 different species.Dr. Letessier added, “Our study also found that shallower water environment, of depths less than 500 meters, were vital for marine predator diversity. We therefore need to identify sites that are both shallow and remote and protect them. However, there are still numerous shallow hot spots near human markets that are not appropriately protected, and this must change.”1.According to the study, what happened to sharks and other marine predators?A.They became less important for keeping healthy ocean ecosystems.B.They only lived near cities with 10,000 people.C.They loved swimming after fishing boats.D.Their average body size and number decreased sharply.2.Which of the following statements may Dr. Tom Letessier agree with?rge marine predators can grow well near people.B.People shouldn’t disturb the sea and sea animals.C.Sharks’ distribution was mainly affected by human activity.D.Other ecological factors have no impact on sharks’ distribution.3.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4?A.Introduce a new topic for readers.B.Introduce the study means used by the team.C.Summarize the previous paragraphs.D.Collect data about sharks and other predators.4.What can we infer about the perfect environment for marine predator diversity?A.It should be deeper than 500 meters.B.It should be spots that are hot enough.C.It should be shallower and away from humans.D.It should be spots changed from human markets.答案以及解析1.答案：(1)-(4)CDAB解析：(1).考查细节理解。

"It's arranged to be sung by all performers, indicating that we should all search high and low for our roots," Gong says.To explore the education and the popularization of Chinese music, in 2017, Gong established a research and development team, which includes ethnomusicologist, Du Yaxiong, and music historian, Zhao Zhongming, to deliberate her music teaching methods and summarize the vocal skills of Chinese music.Gong believed that the popularization of Chinese music should rely on primary and secondary schools rather than music academies. The children's passion for music and their outstanding performance amazed Gong, "When singing, they are completely immersed in the music. Music brings light and richness to one's spiritual world. So, learning to sing is never about passing examinations, but about enjoying the music."Lu Yueming, instructor of the school's art center, said, "The children worked really hard and kept in mind Gong's instructions. Seeing their performance, I know that they truly fell in love with traditional Chinese music.""Seeing the children perform my pieces, I realized I should write more songs for them," Lao Luo, Gong's husband said proudly. "It's a great encouragement for me to see how much they like the songs, and they really need content related to Chinese culture/' With an international vision, Gong will continue to write songs based on Chinese folk music or ancient poems.Gong said children should learn about the beauty of Chinese music. Only when you know about your own sounds, can you have cultural confidence.24. Why is the song Search High and Low arranged at the concert?A. Because Gong is a renowned Chinese musician.B. Because people are expected to search their roots.C. Because Gong's music teaching method is practical.D. Because Gong wants to deliberate her music teaching method.25.

Chinese Music: Development, InstrumentsCMany of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food. We are used to choosing hearty (丰盛的), fat-filled dishes and sugar-charged (充满糖分的) desserts, which are not easily cooked at home.The recent rise of light meals, however, gives diners a smarter choice. According to Economic Daily, low-calorie, low-fat and high-fiber meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery platforms.The country saw a rapid expansion of restaurants specializing in light meals, from just 600 in 2017 to more than 3,500 in 2018. According to a report released by Meituan, a major online food delivery platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rose 75 percent from the previous year.Having a light meal, however, doesn’t mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids oily, salty and spicy food. Instead, it contains things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients are the theme of the light meal.These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That’s probably why so many people, especially millennials (千禧一代), are into them. Diners see it as “a great way to avoid bloating (变胖),” wrote the Telegraph.“After eating several light meals, I felt my appetite has shrunk. I now prefer light flavors,” Zou Jing, a college teacher in Wuhan, told China Daily. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef, eggs, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.These changes in eating behavior are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food, says Walter Willett, chair of the nutrition department at the Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health, US. “Diet quality, not quantity (数量), is important for both weight control and long-term well-being,” Willett told The New York Times.So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.28.What are light meals?A. Fat-filled dishes.B. Meat-free dishes.C. Sugar-charged desserts.D. Low-calorie and high-fiber meals.29. How does the author show the popularity of light meals?A. By listing numbers.B. By giving examples.C. By giving descriptions.D. By showing other people’s opinions.30. Why do many young people enjoy light meals, according to the article?A. They are usually colorful.B. They are simple and convenient.C. They are cheaper than other meals.D. They can help people control their weight.31. What do we know from the second to last paragraph?A. Light meals will stay popular for a while.B. Our eating habits show our personalities.C. There is a change in attitude toward healthy eating.D. It’s important to eat the right amount of good food.DNobel prize-winners, legendary authors, and famous scientists – you might think all these people were born to be creative. However, that’s not always the case.While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth, famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as “late bloomers” – people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life.This idea of “peaking” at different times inspired new research from the United States. “Many people believe that creativity is exclusively (独有地) associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity you’re talking about,” said Bruce Weinburg, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study.According to the study, published earlier this month in the journal De Economist, there are two types of people: conceptual and experimental thinkers.To reach this conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify their creative peaks.Some peaked from ages 25-29. Classified as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s. These are experimental thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time. This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes, before eventually finding new solutions.“Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach,” said Weinburg. He added that their study isn’t limited to economics, saying it can apply to other creative disciplines (知识领域). So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don’t panic. Your creative peak may be yet to arrive.32. What did the study from the US find?A. Young people are not necessarily more creative than old people.B. Most people take a conceptual approach when thinking.C. One’s creative peak is related to their job type.D. Conceptual and experimental thinkers hit their peaks at different times.33. What does the underlined word “conventional” mean in context?A. Easy.B. Unusual.C. Traditional.D. Appropriate.34. What do we know about experimental thinkers?A. Their talents usually bloom in their 20s.B. They are good at doing experiments.C. They work out new methods based on experience.D. They are more successful than conceptual thinkers.35. What would Weinberg probably agree with?A. It’s difficult to find one’s talent in later years.B. More research needs to be done about creative peaks.C. Conceptual thinkers could be more successful in the art field.D. Experimental thinkers from other fields may be most successful in their 50s.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年高考英语真题模拟试题专项汇编(7)阅读理解-人生感悟类1.I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源)of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.I always read, using different voices, as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it! It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.As a novelist, Pve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can't afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港)for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为)and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library, Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.(1).Which word best describes the author's relationship with books as a child?A.Cooperative.B.Uneasy.C. Inseparable.D. Casual.(2).What does the underlined phrase "an added meaning*' in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Pleasure from working in the library.B.Joy of reading passed on in the family.C.Wonderment from acting out the stories.D.A closer bond developed with the readers.A.Sponsor book fairs.B.Write for social media.C.Support libraries.D.Purchase her novels.(4).Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.Reading: A Source of KnowledgeB.My Idea about WritingC.Library: A Haven for the YoungD.My Love of the Library2.I never knew anyone who'd grown up in Jackson without being afraid of Mrs. Calloway, our librarian. She ran Jackson's Carnegie Library absolutely by herself. SILENCE in big black letters was on signs hung everywhere If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your clothes. I was willing; I would do anything to read.My mother was not afraid of Mrs. Calloway She wished me to have my own library card to check out books for myself. She took me in to introduce me. "Eudora is nine years old and has my permission to read any book she wants from the shelves, children or adults," Mother said.Mrs. Calloway made her own rules about books. You could not take back a book to the library on the same day you'd taken it out; it made no difference to her that you'd read every word in it and needed another to start. You could take out two books at time and two only. So two by two, I read library books as fast as I could go: rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute reached our house, I started to read, knew this was extreme happiness, knew it at the time.My mother shared this feeling of mine. Now I think of her as reading so much of the time while doing something else. I remember her reading a magazine while taking the part of the Wolf in a game of "Little Red Riding Hood" with my brother's two daughters. She'd just look up at the right time, long enough to answer-in character-"The better to eat you with, my dear," and go back to her place in the magazine article.(1). Which of the following best describes Mrs. Calloway?A.Quiet.B. Strict.C.Humorous.D. Considerate.(2).What do the underlined words n this feeling" refer to in the last paragraph?A.Desire to read.B.Love for Mrs. Calloway.C.Interest in games.D.Fear of the library rules.(3).Where is the text probably from?A.A guidebook.B.An autobiography.C.A news report.D.A book review.3.After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.Together, these deep human urges(马区策力)count for much more that ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, "Why? Why? Why?"Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them."The great man," said Mencius(孟子)，"is he who does not lose his child's heart. "Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven't any special ability? Most people don't; there are only a few geniuses. You haven't any time? That's good, because it's always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking. You're too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment.(1).In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to.A.propose a definitionB.make a comparisonC.reach a conclusionD.present an argument (2). What does the example of Galileo tell us?A.Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.B.Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.C.Creativity results from challenging authority.D.Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.(3).What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent?A.Observe the unknown around you.B.Develop a questioning mind.C.Lead a life of adventure.D.Follow the fashion.(4).What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7?A.Gaining success helps you become an expert.B.The genius tends to get things done creatively.ck of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.D.You should remain modest when approaching perfection.(5).What could be the best tile or the passage?A.Curious Minds Never Feel ContentedB.Reflections on Human NatureC.The Keys to AchievementD.Never Too Late to Learn4.I was in the middle of the Amazon (亚马逊)with my wife, who was there as a medical researcher. We flew on a small plane to a faraway village. We did not speak the local language, did not know the customs, and more often than not, did not entirely recognize the food. We could not have felt more foreign.We were raised on books and computers, highways and cell phone, but now we were living in a village without running water or electricity. It was easy for us to go to sleep at the end of the day feeling a little misunderstood.Then one perfect Amazonian evening, with monkeys calling from beyond the village green, we played soccer. I am not good at soccer, but that evening it was wonderful. Everyone knew the rules. We all spoke the same language of passes and shots. We understood one another perfectly. As darkness came over the field and the match ended, the goal keeper, Juan, walked over to me and said in a matter-of-fact way, "In your home, do you have a moon too?" I was surprised.After I explained to Juan that yes, we did have a moon and yes, it was very similar to his, I felt a sort of awe (敬畏)at the possibilities that existed in his world. In Juan's world, each village could have its own moon. In Juan's world, the unknown and undiscovered was vast and marvelous.Anything was possible.In our society, we know that Earth has only one moon. We have looked at our planet from every angle and found all of the wildest things left to find, I can, from my computer at home, pull up satellite images of Juan's village. There are no more continents and no more moons to search for, little left to discover. Atleast it seems that way.Yet, as I thought about Juan's question. I was not sure how much more we could really rule out. I am, in part, an ant biologist, so my thoughts turned to what we know about insect life and I knew that much in the world of insects remains unknown. How much, though? How ignorant (无知的)are we? The question of what we know and do not know constantly bothered me.I began collecting newspaper articles about new species, new monkey, new spider..., and on and on they appear. My drawer quickly filled. I began a second drawer for more general discoveries: new cave system discovered with dozens of nameless species, four hundred species of bacteria found in the human stomach. The second drawer began to fill and as it did, I wondered whether there were bigger discoveries out there, not just species, but life that depends on things thought to be useless, life even without DNA. I started a third drawer for these big discoveries. It fills more slowly, but all the same, it fills.In looking into the stories of biological discovery. I also began to find something else, a collection of scientists, usually brilliant, occasionally half-mad, who made the discoveries. Those scientists very often see the same things that other scientists see, but they pay more attention to them, and they focus on them to the point of exhaustion and at the risk of the ridicule of their peers. In looking for the stories of discovery, I found the stories of these people and how their lives changed our view of the world.We are repeatedly willing to imagine we have found most of what is left to discover. We used to think that insects were the smallest organisms(生物)，and that nothing lived deeper than six hundred meters. Yet, when something new turns up, more often than not, we do not even know its name.(1).How did the author feel on his arrival in the Amazon?A.Out of place.B.Full of joy.C.Sleepy.D.Regretful.(2).What made that Amazonian evening wonderful?A.He learned more about the local language.B.They had a nice conversation with each other.C.They understood each other while playing.D.He won the soccer game with the goal keeper.(3).Why was the author surprised at Juan's question about the moon?A.The question was too straightforward.B.Juan knew so little about the world.C.The author didn't know how to answer.D.The author didn't think Juan was sincere.(4).What was the author's initial purpose of collecting newspaper articles?A.To sort out what we have known.B.To deepen his research into Amazonians.C.To improve his reputation as a biologist.D.To learn more about local cultures.(5).How did those brilliant scientists make great discoveries?A.They shifted their viewpoints frequently.B.They followed other scientists closely.C.They often criticized their fellow scientists.D.They conducted in-depth and close studies.(6).What could be the most suitable title for the passage?A.The Possible and the ImpossibleB.The Known and the UnknownC.The Civilized and the UncivilizedD.The Ignorant and the Intelligent5.I have a degree in business. However, it was my father's decision for me to follow a business major(专业).He thought that having a business degree would make me more competitive and provide me with more available options in entering a global marketplace. I took his advice.However,even though my college experiences were fantastic,! still had no interest in any field of commercejet alone having a long-term career(职业)as a businesswoman.After I graduated,! worked as a marketing planner at a computer company. My pay and working environment were great; however,! still didn't feel happy doing something that I wasn't interested in. After two months of working there, I made up my mind to quit and decided to do what I love,namely teaching English. I have now been an English teacher for over twenty years. I love my job and love being with my students.If you are in a place where you don't love what you are learning or doing, please ask yourself what you are really enthusiastic about,and what you truly want for your life. Don't rush to get yourself a quick answer. Take some time to think about what career could make you happy. The important thing is that you are happy and then you are able to bring happiness to people around you. Therefore,you will be a success.

I have been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old. As a boy I had read literally（毫不夸张地）hundreds of books. I had a thirst for knowledge that seemingly could never fade. Then suddenly I found I had something I wanted to share. I tried to ignore it, but as any writer will tell you once the ideas awaken inside of you they won't leave you alone until you write them down. I didn't have a computer, word processor, or even a typewriter. Still, I grabbed a pen and lined notebook paper and wrote everything that was burning inside of me.When I was done I didn't know how to share it. There was no internet back then, no smart phones, and no social media. I sought out the editor of my local county newspaper and asked him to print what I had written. He was a good man full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. I continued to write new articles each week and shared them first with other local papers and later online as well. Years later at the urging of my readers I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form.Through my writing I slowly became more than I was. In my writings I encountered my highest self. In my writings I discovered the goodness and light that lies in us all. In my writings I found great love and joy and encouraged others to choose love and joy as well. I also found that we all are writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we hold, and with everything we do we are writing our own life story.Lance Wubbels once wrote: n I hope you realize your life is truly your life. It belongs to you. It is your story to write with love. Day by day, line by line, write it well."l.As a boy, when the author found he had something to share,A.he wrote it downB.he ignored itC.he shared it on social mediaD.he told it to a writer2.How did the author begin his writing career?A.He was hired as a newspaper editor.B.He put his stories online by himself.C.He self-published two books.D.He was helped by a local newspaper editor.3.What does the author think of writing?A.Writing takes practice and efforts.B.Writing can benefit oneself and others.C.Writing helps people tell right from wrong.D.Only with a pen can one write his life story.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Way to be a WriterB.A Way to Share IdeasC.Living is WritingD.Writing is the Source of Love7.Daniella Wride was brushing her daughter's long brown hair when she noticed that with each comb, masses of the hair were coming out. That was January 1, 2017. Within 20 days, seven-year-old Gianessa Wride's hair was completely gone, and her doctor said the hair would never grow back. Gianessa had become one of the 6. 8 million Americans with alopecia, an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss.Alopecia isn't painful, but for kids who suffer from it, the severe pain comes from standing out from the crowd. For the most part, the students in Gianessa9 s first-grade class in Salem, Utah, were understanding. But the occasional jokes of "Baldy''（秃子）made her feel like an abandoned child.

"She's so lovely."On the morning of the competition, Gianessa was nervous. Would her friends think it was funny? However, with her mother's encouragement, she had nothing to fear. Impressive Gianessa was a hit and a winner of the crazy-hair competition. Gianessa is now glad that she dared to go bare.“I was sad at first when I lost all my hair,,, she told people.

AWhen it comes to historical Italian coffee, you cannot help but talk of Venice. It is in this city that the tradition of coffee was bom, and then spread to the rest of Italy.Caffe FlorianCaffe Florian was founded in 1720. From then on, this elegant building has been characterized by its high-quality products and well-known guests: here, noblemen, politicians and intellectuals (知识分子）would meet. Today, the caf6 is an important cultural center where exhibitions are organized. But it remains an ideal place for tourists who simply want to enjoy an espresso sitting at a little table in the heart of Venice, a few steps from the Grand Canal.Gran Caffe QuadriAlso in St. Mark’s Square, there is another historic cafe thatsince 1775 has earned an important place among the many. Gran Caffe Quadri represents the memory of centuries in the late period of the Republic of Venice, and the birth of the modem age, and the secrets of the famous people who sat in its halls. Even today, Gran Caffe Quadri is a favorite of actors and directors attending the Venice Film Festival.H arry's BarMore recent, but equally absorbing, is the story of Harry's Bar, opened in 1931 and declared a national monument in 2001. Built from an old warehouse (仓库)close to Piazza San Marco, Harry’s Bar owes its name and existence to the American student Harry Pickering. This is not strictly a coffee bar, but inside intellectuals, artists, writers such as Arturo Toscanini, Guglielmo Marconi, Charlie Chaplin, all spent time.Caffe La CalcinaMoving to the southern limit of the city, in the ancient neighborhood called Le Zattere, we will find Caff6 La Calcina, another important spot that was a meeting place for artists and writers in the early 1900s.

Her mother told a story of going to Goodall’s room when she was one and a half years old.‘‘ She ’ d found I ’ d taken a whole handful of earthworms to •bed with me，，’Goodall said, u and instead of getting mad, she said very quietly, ‘ They ’11die if you leave them here, they need dirt. “So together we took them back into the garden.”“I never went to university after school because we couldn’t afford it，” she said. Since college was impossible, she got a secretarial job with Louis Leakey, the famous biologist.It was in the Serengeti plains that Leakey realized Goodall was capable of much more than a secretary. “He just saw that I was very passionate about being out in the wilderness and animals and that I was a good observer,” Goodall said.Leakey sent Goodall to Tanzania to observe chimpanzees (黑60广东教育•高中2021年第6期GUANG DONG JIAO YU GAO ZHONG獲獲）in the wild in hopes that their behavior could help explain his research on early humans.Goodall was surprised by the chimps’love for one another and the bonds between families.She also was surprised when she witnessed one chimpanzee removing the leaves from a small branch and using it as a tool to catch ants.4<At that time,we were defined as the only tool-making creature on the planet/*Goodall said.Goodall sent a telegram to Leakey,who replied,“Scientists are faced with tw o alternatives:Either accept chimpanzees as man,by definition,or else re-define man.”There is no sharp line dividing us from the rest of the animal kingdom，”Goodall said.“It’s a very indistinct line，and it teaches us so clearly that we are not separate from the rest of the animal kingdom,but part of it.”At 86 years old,Goodall still is educating,discovering and working to bridge the gap between man and chimpanzee.4.What do we know about Goodall’s mother?A.She was strict.B.She was bad-temperedC.She was wise.D.She was well-educated.5.What did Louis Leakey find in Goodall?A.Her interest in living in the wilderness.B.Her patience to look after animals.C.Her ability to do secretarial work.D.Her talent for observing animals.6.Why does Goodall suggest either accepting chimpanzees as man or redefine man?A.She witnessed chimpanzees can catch ants.B.She found chimpanzees can make tools.C.She watched the chimps*love for man.D.She accepted chimpanzees as man.7.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Goodall found interest in observing chimps.B.Goodall devoted her life to studying chimps.C.Goodall was inspired by her mother to study chimps.D.Goodall gave up college to observe animals in the wild.cWhen you go to a grocery store(食品杂货店），you expect to pay for your goods with money.But students at a high school in Texas,US,opened a store that runs on good deeds.In November,students from Linda Tutt High School in the city of Sanger opened a grocery store that enables students to buy necessities using a point system.The store aims to support families in need.M In our school district,a good many students are considered economically disadvantaged,”explained Anthony Love,principal of Linda Tutt.M About 3.6 percent of our students are considered homeless.We thought it important to support them and their families and make sure they had food on the table/*Students earn points by contributing positively to the school. For those students from poor families,the point system has provided a way for them to shop for their families.44They can earn points for doing chores (杂活）around the building or helping to clean，”Love said.The number of points for each item was actually decided by the students.M So we walked through here and decided that a can of green beans was one point，”said Paul Juarez,the director of First Refuge Ministries.Juarez said that he hopes the idea gets implemented (实施）in other areas.“It gives us a picture of what can be.So if we can do this inside other schools,it will do a whole lot to help other small towns.”In addition to the financial benefits,students also learn about supply management and customer service,and such lessons could prepare them for future jobs.The grocery store1s student manager, Hunter Weertman,said he has already learned important life skills from his experience at the store.The store practice was also welcomed by Thomas Muir, Sanger’s mayor.“We all had our first jobs and it taught us how to work，and what you got for your work，”he said.“I think this will do that for them too,and also meet an immediate need/*8.Why did the students open the grocery store?A.To support poor families.B.To learn to manage money.C.To finish their research project.D.To provide students with necessities.9.How could the students earn points?A.By doing chores at home.B.By shopping for their families.C.By doing good deeds at school.D.By volunteering in the community.10.

What does the author intend to tell us in the last two paragraphs?A.The benefits from the store practice.B.The future jobs the students can get.C.The methods of doing a job well.D.The measures to meet an immediate need.DThere’s loads of research that shows that spending time in广东教育•高中2021年第6期 61n傲考场娜操练nature is good for your health and well-being.But not everyone lives near a park.And not everyone can easily get outdoors.So, what happens when you bring nature into your home via TV?A new study finds that a virtual nature experience can have some of the same effects.For the study,researchers from the University of Exeter in the U.K.brought 96 adults into a lab and created boredom by having them watch a four-minute video of a man discussing his work at an office supply company.Then,the study participants experienced scenes of an under-water coral reef (珊湖瞧）scene from the BBC’s“Blue nanet II，’series.They watched it on TV,with a virtual reality headset using 360-degree video,or with a virtual reality headset using computer-generated interactive graphics (交互式图形)•Researchers found that all three methods greatly reduced negative feelings like sadness and significantly lowered boredom. The interactive virtual reality experience actually increased positive feelings,such as happiness,and strengthened the connections people said they had to nature.4<I think we were m ost surprised that just watching nature on TV led to positive changes across each of our measures,suggesting that even short,five-minute bursts of watching natural history programming can have an effect on well-being，”study co-author Alex Smalley says.Originally,the motivation behind the study was to research benefits for people who were stuck indoors,such as those in nursing homes or people recovering from illness.But there are entirely new positive results in today*s world due to COVID-19.“We never imagined a pandemic (流行病）would mean the results might apply to such a big part of the global population，’’Smalley says. “We’d always recommend trying to get out into nature wherever possible but for those who can’t,our findings suggest that digital experiences of nature could provide a short-term fix/*12.What’s the new study about?A.The significance of living a green life.B.The effects of watching nature on TV.C.The necessity of going out into nature.D.The methods of increasing positive feelings.13. Why did researchers ask the participants to watch a four- minute video?A.To observe their different reactions.B.To let them know more about life.C.To attract their attention.D.To make them feel bored.14. What can we learn about the researchers from Alex Smalley’s words?A.They will carry out the study across the world.B.They found m ost people surprised at their study.C.They had some unexpected findings in the study.D.They suggested people watch TV for a short while.15.Who would probably be m ost interested in the study?A.People who are kept indoors.B.People who work in hospitals.C.People who enjoy watching TV.D.People who travel on business.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分115分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年浙江省温州市高考英语模拟试卷含答案

高考英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）A‘Turtle time!，loudly called out by one of my newly-found friends，meant the beginning of either a morning or afternoon shift at Turtle Camp in Nusa Penida，Indonesia．Upon arrival at the project each day，we would look eagerly for our names on the whiteboard to see which task we would be undertaking．Would it be the highly desirable ‘turtle feeding'，the pretty fun ‘tank cleaning'，the exciting ‘medicine administering' or the less appealing ‘fish cutting'Fine in theory but not when every fly in Indonesia decides to crowd onto these dead fish while you're cutting!Life at the turtle project was fun because twice a day we got to hang out with sea turtles．By ‘hang out'，I obviously meant ‘work'，as we were on shift，but it certainly didn't feel like work．Another fun thing was getting to know the other volunteers! With volunteers from all over the world，it was just common to hear Finnish being spoken，Australian slang mixed with French expressions and Swedes making plans to visit newly-found friends in the USA．Of course，not all the time at Turtle Camp was consumed by volunteering．Scheduled activities included a trip to Crystal Bay，a beautiful paradise for swimming and sunbathing，an awesome beach bonfire complete with a beautiful sunset as well as our local coworkers showing off their guitar playing and singing skills．Our time at Turtle Camp was capped off by setting free two of our turtles into the sea to begin their journey as independent turtles! Hopefully，the love and care provided at the turtle project would ensure that these turtles had a greater chance of survival in the big，wide and scary ocean．1.Which task is less fun to the volunteers at Turtle Camp？______A. Turtle feeding．B. Tank cleaning．C. Medicine Administering．D. Fish Cutting．2.What does the underlined sentence imply？______A. The volunteering was a challenge．B. The time at the camp was difficult．C. The work at the project was a delight．D. Communication was time-consuming．3.When setting free the two turtles，the volunteers felt a sense of ______ ．A. achievementB. belongingC. lossD. independenceBIf you're looking at livable cities as inspiration for your holiday，you'll miss out on many great tourist destinations．According to Mercer's 2018 Quality of Living Survey，Moscow ranks 167 and Beijing only 119，yet both provide ample visitor pleasures．Meanwhile high-ranked cities such as Kobe （神户）or Seattle may be easy places to live in，but offer only passing interest to tourists．In truth，many of the world's most livable cities are a little dull．The world isn't rushing to visit Canberra or Montreal．In fact，none of the world's 10 most visited cities appear in Mercer's top 20．Clearly，considerations that create enjoyable holidaydestinations differ from those that make cities fine places to live in．This should be no surprise，since livability lists aren't concerned with tourists or even local residents but rather expats（侨民）．Mercer，for example，is a British-based professional service firm whose lists supply multinationals with human resources information about where to locate their businesses．"The success of foreign business is influenced by issues such as ease of travel and communication，personal safety，and access to public services，says Slagin Parakatil，who oversees Mercer's research．In short，Mercer considers whether cities are attractive to business and investment，and have good schools，hospitals and housing while such factors seldom influence tourists．Still，Mercer's Quality of Living Survey has its uses for tourists，since it also looks at natural and cultural environments and recreation．It ranks public transport and infrastructure（基础设施）particularly highly，a consideration shared by the World Economic Forum in reports on tourism and travel competitiveness．This includes hotels，rental-cars and even ATM availability，all of which make a destination friendly to expats and visitors alike．4.What do we know about livable cities______A. They hardly offer tourist passing interest．B. They may not be good tourist destinations．C. They can arouse the inspiration of visitors．D. They are usually highly ranked by tourists．5.What is Mercer more concerned about when ranking livable cities______A. Tourist attractions．B. ATM availability．C. Business-friendliness．D. Local residents．6.Why does the writer use Mercer's Quality of Living Survey______A. To make his view convincing．B. To compare those livable cities．C. To better understand the survey．D. To support the British-based firm．CEvery day around the world, thousands of people with little to no scholarly training in art history walk into museums. They may or may not read notice boards that share relevant information of the artworks or artists. Imagine, before being permitted to direct their eyeballs to the art on the walls, museum visitors were required to read a 15- or 20-page introduction to each piece or each artist. How many people would go to museums if that were the case?Yet this seems to be the expectation when it comes to reading classic literature. Classic novels typically come with 15- or 20-page introductions, which often include spoilers, assuming that readers do not come to classic books to discover, be absorbed in, and be surprised by the story world. Also, apparently, we mustn't read classics alone, without experts guiding our experiences.However, classic literature is in a unique position to show us that we're not alone in our pains and joys. By taking us out of our time, classic books free us to see beyond the set of beliefs we stick to and to connect human experiences that remain alive across time and place. What could be more grounding, more comforting, than seeing ourselves in the battles, longings, and pleasures that have played out across hundreds, thousands of years of human history? Our personal engagement is the first step of a longer journey of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world. We may, for example, feel for Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter though we despair of the world she lived in.While we're letting go of things, let's stop worrying about understanding everything. We can't. It will be fun if we embrace curiosity, the pleasure of working out a mystery, and our common relationships as humans. We can feel, for example, the power of self-sacrifice in Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities even when we lack full understanding of the cultural references and language.7.Most museum goers ________.A. enjoy reading notice boardsB. understand the artworks wellC. lack professional art knowledgeD. share common interest in artworks8.What can the spoilers in Para. 2 possibly be?A. Story writers.B. Readers' expectations.C. Guiding experts．D. Plots given away in advance.9.What prevents readers enjoying reading classics?A. Showing curiosity about the writers.B. Letting go of things.C. Trying to understanding everything.D. Working out mysteries.10.What message is mainly conveyed in the passage?A. We should find more fun from classics.B. Reading classics is a personal exploration.C. Experts need to give readers better guidance.D. Classic literature benefits readers a great deal.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy to learn English．According to them，with little effort，a student will be able to speak the language fluently in three months or even ten days．When I see advertisements like this，I don't know whether to laugh or cry．If it were that easy，I would have to look for another job，because very few qualified teachers would be needed．(1) Otherwise the advertisements would not appear．It is natural for students to be attracted to methods that will teach them quickly and efficiently．(2) And it is no use pretending that anyone has discovered a perfect way of teaching English．Some experts even argue that there are many good methods of teaching a language．No doubt this is true to a certain extent，but it is not very helpful to students．(3) Of course it is clear that students who go to England，America，or Australia to learn English have a great advantage over others．But many students cannot afford to do so．Other students go to the opposite extreme．(4) But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise word in another language．In my personal opinion，no one can ever learn to speak a language unless he is interested in it．Human beings，unlike animals，do not like making noises unless they understand and can relate them to their own lives．It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication．(5) It will be helpful if we practise the unfamiliar forms in real situations，talking to each other about real life in real language．A．We need other people to talk to and listen to．B．They teach themselves at home with dictionaries．C．Every teacher is an individual with his own personality．D．But a large number of people must believe these ridiculous claims．E．It's impossible for any translation method to produce good pronunciation．F．But it is difficult for anyone to explain why one method is better than another．G．Some students believe that the only way to learn a language is to stay in that country．11.
