But the concept itself isn ' new at all — in fact, scie ntists have bee n explori ng questi ons about climate cha nge for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhousqgases "goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what wasregulating the earth' s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containingthe heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shi nes through the glass, the in side gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier 'ideas spread, it came to be called “ the gree nhouse effect ".Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhe nius came along, did scie ntists un dersta nd how global warmi ng actually works. After years of work, Arrhe nius determ ined that the level of carb on dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhe nius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiatio n, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhe nius was the first to suspect that burning coal could con tribute to the gree nhouse effect. But Arrhe nius welcomed the warmi ng effect on the pla net. At a lecture later that year, Arrhe nius no ted that creatures of a warmer earth“ might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings".While Arrhe nius ' findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scie ntists kept debat ing whetherthe gree nhouse effect was in creas ing un til 1950, whe n researchers fin ally bega n to find stro ng data support ing it. By the end of the 1950s, America n scie ntists had bee n sounding the alarm on the Ion g-term con seque nces of climate cha nge. Climate cha nge research has come a long way since Fourier first described the gree nhouse effect —— still, maybe Arrhe nius should have bee n more careful of what he wished for. 4. What does the underlined word"it " in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. It is easy to carry.C. It is complex to con trol. B. It is unn ecessary to install.D. It is expe nsive to afford. A. The climate change.C. The atmosphere.B. The gree nhouse effect.D. The heat from the sun. 5. When did the scie ntists first find evide nee for the bad effect of global warm ing? A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.6. What ' s the author ' s attitude towards Arrhenius A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. 200 years ago.'wish?D. Ambiguous.CIt ' s com mon kno wledge that the woma n in Leon ardo da Vinci ' s most farainting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter /here they sta nd in the room. But this com mon kno wledge tur ns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out atan an gle that '5.4 degrees off to the observer'ejliigltside —f the range that people no rmallybelieve when they think some one is look ing right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstma nn, “ She h oi look ing at you. "This is somewhat ironic, because the en tire phe nomenon of a person 'gaze (凝视)in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “ Mona Lisa effect " . That effect is absolutely real, Horstma nn said. If a pers on is illustrated or photographed look ing straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person ' s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligenee avatars ( 虚拟头像 )when Horstmann took a long look at the “ Mona_isa " and realizedshe wasn ' t looking at hirT.o make sure it wasn ' t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view imagesof the“ Mona Lisa " on a corsxpie e n.So why do people repeat the belief tha t her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn ' t sure.It 'possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “ Mona ugateffsas a " just thecool n ame.8. What is gen erally believed about the woma n in the pain ti ng “ Mona Lisa "A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they sta nd.9. What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?7. What ' s the main idea of the text? A. Causes of climate cha nge. C. Findings about global warm ing.B. Effects of gree nhouse gases. D. Explorati ons on climate cha nge.C. D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A. Toconfirm Horstmann ' s b. eliefB. To create artificial-intelligence avatars.C. Tocalculate the angle of Mona Lisa . ' s gazeD. To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.11. W hat can we learn from the text?A. Horstmann thinks it ' s cool to coin the term “ Mona Lisa effect ”.B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the r uler in the experiment will influence the viewers ' judgment.DSparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn awayfrom them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain 'oswner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy ' s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arrgauningadfovertising campaign designedto convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that nu mbers were the key to success, rather than customers ' spending power. Finally, the ow accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image.For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.12. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A. The number of its customers was declining.B. Its customers found the food unhealthy.C. It was in need of financial support.D. Most of its restaurants were closed.13. For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A. To build a good relationship with the public.B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C. To learn about customers ' spending power.D. To meet the challen ge from Marcy 's restaurants.14. What do know about the TV ads of Sparrow?A. They changed people ' s views on pop s. tarsB. They amused the public with original songs.C. They focused on the superiority of its products.D. They in flue need the eati ng habits of the audie nee.15. What was Pears on ' s aehieveme nt as a CEO?A. He man aged to pay off Sparrow ' s debts.B. He made Sparrow much more competitive.C. He helped Sparrow take over a eompa ny.D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I am very delighted to have won $50,000 for my project. My project came about as 1 was constantly hearing about plastic pollution on the news. And I also see the real effects on our beaches every day. I discovered, to my shock,that at present no filtration (过滤)for microplastics takes place in any European wastewater treatment centres, so I started looking for a solution.Seeing that there was none,I decided to investigate further,finally finding a way to use the ferrofluid(铁磁流体),a liquid which sticks to the plastic allowing it to be removed using magnets. After over 1,000 tests I have proved that my method would remove 87% or higher of microplastics.I grew up in West Cork, Ireland. My hometown is surrounded by untouched nature. This has been my primary inspiration about how nature works. I soon discovered that science really was in everything. The fact that I lived in such a remote place meant that I had to build my own equipment and lab to conduct tests and experiments.Inspired by scientists such as Ben Feringa and his work with organic chemistry and nanotechnology (纳米技术),I would like to study chemistry or chemical engineering when finishing my last year of secondary school. Both of these subjects will be suited to me as I really enjoy problem-solving and experiments.One of the most valuable rewards from the science fair for me is the opportunity to presentmy work to a group of professional judges. Winning the prize is a great honour to me as this is an acknowledgement of my project and ideas. Also, winning the prize will give my project more attention. There is nothing I would like to see more than my project to be used in addressing microplastics in our oceans worldwide.1. What do we know about Fionn?A. He is studying at college.B. He lives by the sea.C. He works for a science fair.D. He was born in America.2. Why did Fionn set up the project?A. To purify the polluted air.B. To recycle microplastics in cities.C. To collect plastic wastes in water.D. To remove microplastics from water.3. Which of the following can be used to describe Fionn?A. Competitive.B. Creative.C. Optimistic.D. Humorous.4. What is Fionn looking forward to?A. Seeing his project applied widely in real life.B. Going to the science fair to get another prize.C. Attracting more attention to his project.D. Getting his project acknowledged by the judges.3、Some of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders. For example, Google (Sergey Brin and Larry Page), Apple (Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs), and Microsoft (Bill Gates and Paul Allen) and so on. Having partners can help to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business. No matter how down on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support. They may have extra skills, and be on hand to help out with theday-to-day problems. And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being overlooked.Everybody knows Samsungs Galaxy Note 7. When the phone was launched in 2016, customers praised it for its storage, design and usability, and it may well have been a hit if it weren't for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and exploded. It was soon banned immediately from flights, and Samsung had no choice but to recall the entire model. The shortcoming reportedly cost the company $1 billion, and a further $17 billion in lost sales. But remember,based on the lesson, the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world! Now we know that failing is part of business success.One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed many times—and luckily, they bounced back. Take Sarah Blakely, founder of shapewear brand Spanx for example. She credits her business success specifically to her failures. "I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long," she remembered. "People would tear up my business card in my face. But my friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created I learned that 'no' doesn't always mean 'no', and that you may get 30 nos before you get the one yes. People told me no with Spanx for two years." Spanx is worth just over $1 billion—it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in a law school started with just $5 000!(1).What can we learn from the examples in Paragraph 1?A.Two heads are better than one.B.Constant dropping wears the stone.C.God helps those who help themselves.D.All things are difficult before they are easy.(2).Why does the author mention Samsungs Galaxy Note 7, 8 and 9?A.To suggest customers should follow the new trends.B.To prove Samsung is responsible for customers.C.To show Samsung paid for its product failure.D.To explain that failures don't spell the end.(3).What mainly contributed to Sarah Blakely's success?A.Her friends' help.B.Her will power.C.Her good luck.D.Her education background.(4).How does the author develop the passage?A.By making contrast.B.By making classification.C.By giving examples.D.By giving numbers.4、The alarm sounds. Students swing their backpack over their shoulder, board the school bus, make their way to their homeroom and the bell rings — school is back. But for more homes in America, school looks more like students waking up, making their way to the dining room or home office, setting up laptops and learning in the comfort of home.Virtual(虚拟的) schooling, described as “a public school that offers only instruction in which students and teachers are separated by time and/or place, and interaction occurs via computers and/or telecommunications (电信) technologies”, has increased over the past decade. According to the National Education Policy Center, enrollments(注册人数) in virtual schools increased by 17,000 between the 2015 —2016 school year and the 2016—2017 school year to 295,518.For Arizona Virtual Academy, a full-time online public K-12 school, they use K12 Inc. curriculums. K12 Inc. serves students in all 50 states and more than 100 countries with digital learning platfo rms and technology, providing online education. “We always are improving our platforms and the technology that we use to make sure that we've keeping up with the changing trends, not only with education but also with technology," Dr. Kelly Van Sande said. Another piece of new technology they've rolled out is a new app where parents can find virtual schools available in their area.Carrie Faulkner chose to enroll two of her children in Arizona Virtual Academy. She says they’ve done schooling online in Ch icago, in California, at restaurants and on her cousin's floor in Kansas. "It doesn’t matter whether he (her son) is on the couch, in his bed or at the kitchen table, he can do schooling wherever he wants to," Faulkner said. "I wish they had it for me back when I was in school. That would have been awesome."1.What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To give an example of virtual schooling.B.To introduce the topic "virtual schooling".C.To describe vividly students' going to school.D.To compare real schooling with virtual schooling.2.How many students attended virtual schools during the 2015 —2016 school year?A.17,000.B.147,759.C.278,518.D.295,518.3.What can we infer about Arizona Virtual Academy?A.They provide both online and offline education.B.They're intended for students in the United States.C.Their new app lets people find schools nationwide.D.Their platforms and technology are very advanced.4.What is Carrie Faulkner’s attitude to virtual schooling?A.Favorable.B.Doubtful.C.Indifferent.D.Disapproving.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。
英语_2020年山东省某校高考英语三模试卷含答案
2020年山东省某校高考英语三模试卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,每小题 2.5 分满分 50 分)第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 37.5 分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项.1. The local dog park might be getting busier and cat cafés might be opening in every neighborhood, but do you know which traditional pet is the most popular around the world?United StatesThe United States is home to the highest number of domestic (驯养的) dogs, cats, and fish, and Americans are more likely to treat their friends like humans. U.S. pet owners spend $50 billion a year on their animal companions, and 36% of dog owners have used some of that money to buy their pet a birthday present.RussiaAccording to Russian tradition, keeping a cat as a pet is good fortunate, so it's no surprise the cat is Russia's most popular pet. In 2016, 57% of Russian households contained acat, compared to the 29% that had dogs. On March 1, Russia celebrates National Cat Dayas part of celebrations for World Cat Day.BrazilBrazils domestic bird population was about 19 million in 2013, while dogs held top rankat just over 37million. Brazil has the highest number of small dogs per capital city in the world. The nearly 20 million small dogs are attributed to (归因于) a rapidly﹣growing middle class living in small urban apartments.United KingdomDogs and cats rank second and third in Britain, while fishes hold the top spot. It hasbeen linked not only to the low maintenance (维护), but also to the fact that many other pets like dogs or cats are not allowed in some places.(1)Why are the figures mentioned in Paragraph 2?________A To explain the importance of pets.B To show Americans growing wealth.C To explain why Americans have pets.D To show how Americans love their animal friends..(2)Where are cats regarded as the symbol of good luck?________A In Brazil.B In Russia.C In the United States.D In the United Kingdom..(3)What are the most popular pets in the United Kingdom?________A Dogs.B Cats.C Birds.D Fishes.2. I always wanted to be extraordinarily good at something. Not just as in, "Greatjob, Jimbo!" No, I wanted to be best﹣in﹣class, awe﹣inspiring, tiptop; a world﹣famous genius, like Michael Phelps, or Mark Zuckerberg.Unfortunately, my version of reality did not quite line up with this ________ vision. I was a good swimmer, but I peaked at the collegiate State Championship level. My academic record was pretty solid, but I never would have made it into one of those ivy﹣leagueschools.Though I rose to above﹣average status in a couple of areas, the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid﹣sized fish in a small pond. God apparently had other plans.What drove me crazy, though, was the superstar talent thrown in my face at every turn. Some folks just seemed to get an unfair intensive dose (剂量) of it. Why couldn't I be like Bernie Williams, the famed New York Yankees player who also happens to be a world ﹣class jazz guitar virtuoso (艺术大师)?Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time. Around ten thousand hours, to be precise, according to author Malcolm Gladwell. I don't question the theory of devoting extraordinary efforts to developing one's expertise (专门知识), but it seems that raw talent is equally important. You either have it or you don't.I've heard that as people approach middle age, their life satisfaction increases because they begin to accept the gap between the expectations for themselves and the reality. After a few decades of frustration without the desired results, we eventually come to terms with how our lives turned out, even if it falls far short of our idealized youthful expectations.Hope bends, it seems.(1)What does the word "delusional" in paragraph 2 most probably mean?________A Imaginary.B Realistic.C Disappointing.D Material..(2)In the passage, the writer thinks of himself as________.A a world﹣famous geniusB a mid﹣sized fish in a small pondC a world﹣class virtuosoD a student in an ivy﹣league school.(3)According to the writer, what makes "greatness"?________A Extraordinary efforts.B Ten thousand hours of practice.C Rawtalent. D Talent and time..(4)Which of the following might be the best title?________A Hope BendsB Frustrating DecadesC Practice WorksD Youthful Expectations.3. Artemis is NASA's new lunar exploration program. Through the Artemisprogram, NASA will use new technology to study the Moon in new and better ways, and prepare for human missions to Mars.NASA's new rocket will carry the Orion spacecraft to lunar orbit. Then, astronauts will dock(对接)Orion at a small spaceship called the Gateway, from which the crew will take trips to the lunar surface in a new human landing system, and then return to the Gateway. The crew will return to the Earth aboard Orion.NASA will test the rocket and spacecraft in flight, then send a crew for a test flight:• Artemis 1 will be a test flight of the SLS rocket with the Orion spacecraft with no crew.• Artemis 2 will fly SLS and Orion with a crew past the Moon, then circle it and return to the Earth. This trip will be the farthest any human has gone into space.• Artemis 3 will send a crew with the first woman and the next man to land on the Moon by 2024. The Artemis 3 crew will visit the Moon's South Pole. No one has ever been there. At the Moon, astronauts will:• Search for the Moon's water and use it.• Learn how to live and work on the surface of another celestial body(天体) where astronauts are just three days from home.• Test the technologies we need before sending astronauts on missions to Mars, which can take up﹣to three years round trip.The Moon is a good place to learn new science. NASA will learn more about the Moon, the Earth and even the Sun. The Moon is a "test bed" for Mars. The Moon is a place to show that astronauts will one day be able to work away from the Earth on Mars for long periods of time.(1)What is the aim of the Artemis program?________A To help astronauts return to the Earth.B To be ready for the landing onMars. C To study the Mars using new science. D To test the Moon landing spacecraft, Orion..(2)Which will be the achievement of the Artemis series?________A Going to the Moon's South Pole.B Making the farthest trip intospace. C Sending the first man to the Moon. D Flying to the Moon with three persons..(3)What will Artemis astronauts do on the Moon?________A Send astronauts to Mars.B Run a three﹣year﹣long test.C Find and make use of water.D Learn to live not far from home..(4)What can we conclude from the text?________A It is possible to live on another planet now.B The crew will reach the lunar surface from the Orion.C NASA has sent the first woman astronaut to the Moon.D The Artemis program is of great help to Mars exploring.4. Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.Two US﹣based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic Society, conducted an online survey earlier last year. They wanted to know what young people in American colleges knew about geography, US foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.The survey was given to over 1, 200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26. All of them currently attend, or formerly attended, a 2﹣ or 4﹣year college or university.The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the US government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn aboutinternational issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.Haass says these findings suggest the need to find ways to get good information to students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.(1)What can we learn about the survey?________A All the participants were recent university graduates.B It was an online survey conducted by two US universities.C Its aim was to figure out what the young people knew about America.D It was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26..(2)What's one reason survey organizers give for young people's lack of knowledge?________A Young people are unwilling to travel abroad.B The sources from which they get their information.C The US university system is of poor quality.D Their lack of interest in knowing more about the world..(3)According to the survey, what topic did the young Americans understand best?________A Environmental matters.B Geographic information.C Foreign relations.D Government organizations..(4)In which column of a newspaper could we find this article?________A Economics.B Entertainment.C Politics.D Education.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 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.5. If you were like most kids, your mother must have told you there were three no﹣no's when it came to your fingers: Don't put them in an electrical outlet, don't stick them up your nose (at least not in public), and don't use them when you are counting.(1)_______But experts in education and cognition now believe that using your fingers to do math is not only a perfectly good idea but may even help children become superior students.It certainly makes sense. When children count on their fingers, they take an abstract concept﹣mathematics﹣and translate it into the most basic and visual form.(2)_______. Even when we aren't actually counting on figures, they still can help us on math problems.(3)_______It activates when we respond to heat, pressure, pain, or the use of a givenfinger.Studying brain scans, researchers discovered that when students aged 8 to 13 work on subtraction(减法) equations, this region "lights up" on the scans, even if the students aren't using their fingers. The more complex the problem is, the more activities are detected.The connection between finger use and math ability has been proved on old﹣fashioned math tests as well. With their eyes closed, first graders were asked to identify which of their fingers a researcher was touching.(4)_______. When college students were giventhe same quiz, the highest scores once again performed best on calculation tests.So what does all this mean? For one thing, parents and teachers shouldn't discourage children from counting on their fingers.(5)_______. Memorizing the multiplication tables may help, but it is not the best option.

All of my students were dear to me, except Mark Eklund. He often talked constantly. I had to remind him again and again that talking without permission was not acceptable.One morning my patience was growing thin, and then I made a new teacher's mistake. I looked at him, saying, "If you say one more word, I am going to tape your mouth shut!" It wasn't ten seconds later when Chuck, another student, blurted out, "Mark is talking again." Since I had stated the punishment, I had to act on it. I took a roll of tape out of my drawer. Without saying a word, I proceeded to Mark's desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X over his mouth. When I walked back to Mark's desk and removed the tape, his first words were, "Thank you for correcting me, Sister."One Friday, I asked the students to list the names of the other students, leaving a space between each name. Then I told them to write down the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates. As they left, each one handed me the paper.That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday I gave each student his or her list. Before long,the entire class was smiling. "Really?"I heard the whispers."I never knew that meant anything to anyone!""I didn't know others liked me so much!"Then Mark said,"Thank you for teaching me, Sister."Years later, after I returned from vacation, my parents met me at the airport. My father cleared his throat as he usually did before saying something important."The Eklunds called last night,"he began. "Really?"I said. "I haven't heard from them in years. I wonder how Mark is."Dad responded quietly. "Mark was killed in Vietnam," he said."The funeral is tomorrow, and his parents would like it if you could attend."I had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before, so handsome, so mature.Para 1.After the funeral, Mark's mother and father found me.________.Para 2.Mark's classmates started to gather around us._________.2020年山东省某校高考英语三模试卷答案1.

Charlie smiled, "I still keep the list in the top drawer of my desk at home. " Then Vicki took out her wallet and showed her worn listto the group. I carry this with me at all times." Vicki said. "I think we all saved our lists. " That's when I finally sat down and cried. Sometimes the smallest things could mean the most to others.

Many of us would like to spend all of our time helping dogs in need, but it can be hard to carve out that kind of time. Well, one man, Eugene Bostick, decided that when he retired, he would devote the rest of his life to helping homeless dogs feel loved.Eugene Bostick was fortunate enough to be able to retire at the ripe age of 65 after working his entire life on his farm. His farm was located at the end of a dead﹣end street, and he noticed that people would, unfortunately, abandon their dogs on the farm and race off.Eugene refused to see these pets suffer, and he quickly picked up these abandoned dogs, giving them food and taking them to the vet (兽医) to make sure they were spayed and neutered (节育).Eugene's farm has all kinds of animals, such as horses and goats, so these dogs have plenty of other animals to play with.Over the last 20 years, Eugene has shown his kindness by taking on these abandoned pets, but he also saw the chance to offer them a bit of adventure. After spotting a neighbor transporting rocks behind his tractor using barrels, he realized he could do the same for his dogs. Eugene got to work to make his own train, and made sure to add some pleasant pillows so his furry friends could travel in comfort. The dogs quickly got on the train, and together, they spent hours traveling around town and through the forests nearby.After they were spotted around town, one neighbor took a picture of Eugene that went viral, and a GoFundMe page was started that gained plenty of donations.

If the three Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) is a guideline to save the planet, garbage﹣sorting is where the efforts start. Since May 1, Beijing has started to carry out mandatory (法定的)garbage﹣sorting in new efforts to better protect the environment. Under the new regulation, residents ae required to classify household waste into four categories: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous and other waste. People who fail to sort their garbage properly can be fined from 50 to 200 yuan, reported Xinhua.Some residential communities in Beijing have introduced rewards to encourage residentsto sort their garbage. According to Xinhua, residents can earn points by classifying their domestic waste correctly and then exchange the points they accumulate for daily necessities such as soap.Garbage sorting practices have reached over 70 percent of housing estates in 18cities, including Shanghai, Xiamen and Hangzhou, according to the Ministry of Housing and Urban﹣Rural Development. Shanghai first enacted a mandatory garbage﹣sorting regulation in July 2019 and has had a 90 percent compliance (服从) rate among its housing estates.According to a report by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage﹣sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage﹣sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are completely sorting their waste, the reportnoted. According to Xinhua, it's partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste. Also, some previous garbage regulations didn't include fines for people who failed to obey them."It's a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting, " Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily, "Aside from China, many countries like Germany, Spain and Britain, also ask people to sort waste into specific categories. In Japan, there is a fixed time for the sorting of each kind of garbage and littering."(1)What can we learn about the new regulation in Beijing?________A It hasn't been put into use yet.B Residents can sort the garbage as theylike.

Want to pick up that new best﹣seller for your flight, but not sure you want to spend the money?This will change your mind.If you've done a lot of traveling, you've probably noticed that the bookstores at airports all look pretty similar. They've all got familiar logos, the walls of inviting planesnacks, and, of course, the towers of new hardcover books. Chances are you've wanted to grab one of those books for the plane ride. However, those hardcover books are a little pricey. Is it worth it to ________, just to relieve the midair boredom?Yes it is﹣because of a cool program that these bookstores have in place. These similar airport stores are all owned by the company Paradies Lagardère, and all of those stores take part in what's called the "Read and Return program." It's exactly what it soundslike. Whenever you buy one of those books, you've got six months to finish it and bring it back to the same, or another, Paradies Lagardère location. When you do that, you get half your money for the original purchase back.If you're going on a trip, buy that book you've been dying to read. When you go back to the airport for the return trip, bring the book back with you and get half the money back. While you're still in the bookstore, go ahead and get that other book you've been dying to read. Or the sequel to the book you read on the way there. Either way, your boredom on the flight back will be cured. And it gets better: the book you gave back will be re﹣sold for half price! Here's what you can get for free at an airport.There are two things you do need to make sure of. You have to bring back the receipt to get your money back. Also, the book needs to be in decent condition. But other than that, this program couldn't be easier. In a way, it's like a buy﹣one﹣get﹣one﹣half﹣off deal for books. Or get two books for the price of one﹣and﹣a﹣half. Either way, count us in.(1)What does the underlined word "splurge" in paragraph 2 mean?________A Spend the money.B Take the effort.C Take the trouble.D Spend the time..(2)How does the "Read and Return program" run?________A You can read books for free in any Paradies Lagardère store.B You can buy books for half price in airport bookstores.C You need to return the book to the same store where you buy it.D You can get half your money back if you return the book timely..(3)What can we learn from the last paragraph?________A It is difficult to take part in the program.B The receipt is necessary if you want to return the book.C The program is popular with readers.D The program runs successfully..(4)Why does the author write this passage?________A To encourage people to read on airplanes.B To introduce Paradies Lagardère company.C To advertise the "Read and Return program".D To show the advantages of reading on airplanes.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.5.

It felt awful to be a new student in the school and when my classmates were chatting, what I could do was to be caught up in my thoughts watching the clouds outside the window. I was not good at math or history;nor was I good at drawing or dancing. I was shy and timid. I had a few friends back at my hometown and it seemed that they were the only ones who I could be friends with for my whole life. I felt I had achieved a point of saturation(饱和) with regard to having friends and I could make no further addition to my friend list. I was ashamed of myself, so I believed I deserved no notice from others until Emily came to my world.Emily was fearless, outspoken and easy to go. She was everything I was not and I was too shy to come out of my shell. I met Emily in school almost every day and yet I never talked to her. We were in the same class but we were like poles apart. How I wished I could be like her or at least be a friend of hers!It was another ordinary day.I wandered to the bus stop in the morning and waited for the school bus. Birds were singing songs with their friends but who could I sing songs with? I got on the bus and went straight to my usual seat, complaining in a low voice about getting up early and going to school like every other day, and about how things were going to be the same all over again. Little did I realize something different would happen that day.Para 1.When I got up to get down the bus, my schoolbag was stuck in the armrest._________ Para 2.I got noticed by Emily, who brought me courage to start a new friendship!_________2020年山东省青岛市高考英语三模试卷答案1.

ATWO NEWS REPORTSNEWS REPORT 1Even before 5G is widely commercially available, Ch inese telecom giant Huawei has reportedly begun researching the next generation of wireless technology—6G.Tech website “iPhone in Canada^ reported that Huawei has confirmed to local media “The Logic(逻辑学;逻辑性)"that it has started researching 6G technology at its lab in Ottawa, Canada and “ is in talks with Canadian university researchers about working on development of the next-generation wireless system," citing a report by The Logic.Song Zhang, vice-president of research strategy and partnership of Huawei in Canada, said “5G is very new, and looking at 6G is part of the so-called 5G evolution.”Huawei has not commented on the report, according to The Paper.NEWS REPORT 2A Japanese startup called SkyDrive Inc. has begun conducting test flights of their prototype flying car with a human pilot.The company hopes to be able to make a full public demonstration(演示;展示)of the vehicle later this summer.The test flights are being conducted at a protected indoor facility at the company’s research flight center outside of Nagoya.There have been a number of previous test flights, but they were all conducted via remote control and no human pilot on-board.According to a report in The Asahi Shimbun, SkyDrive says the car could be ready for a limited retail release as early as 2023, and mass production by 2026.SkyDrive was founded by former engineers from Toyota and they intend their vehicle to be the world's smallest flying car.In 2017, Toyota gave the company an infusion(灌输)of around $ 350,000 to help develop flying vehicles.The company said it won't say more about how the test flights have been proceeding(行动;进行)so far, but says things are going well enough to continue making them.1.What we can learn from NEWS REPORT 1?A.Huawei and Apple cooperate to develop 6G technology.B.Huawei is the first company to study 6G technology.C.Huawei’s research team studies 6G technology in Canadian laboratories.D.Huawei is not optimistic about the prospects of 6G.2.Which of the following is NOT true about NEWS REPORT 2?A.The company hopes to have an opportunity to make a full public demonstration of the vehicle.B.Previous flight tests were controlled by remote control.C.The car may not be able to mass produce in the near future.D.The car was completely invented and produced by Toyota.3.Which news section are we likely to see these two news reports?A. Entertainment.B. Science and Technology.C. Story.D. History.BA team of farmers, university researchers and environmentalists is busy at work in the wetlands of eastern England. They are digging into the area’s wheat fields, looking for wet earth that could hide lost ponds underneath. It takes the group of diggers just a few hours to revive(使复活)one dying pond. It's near Hindolveston, a thousand-year-old village close to the North Sea.“As soon as the buried ponds get water and light, they just spring to life," says Nick Anema, a farmer in nearby Dereham. He's brought seven ponds on his farm back to life. “Frogs and all the insects like dragonflies can be seen here again,” he said.But the battle for the wetlands is a struggle. While efforts to stop losses are continuing, wetlands around the world are still being filled in and covered up. Over the past three centuries,almost 90% of the world's wetlands have disappeared. The loss rate has increased since the 1970s, with wetlands now disappearing three times faster than the world's forests.Some 5,000 wetland-dependent animal species could die out because of such losses. Wetland loss can also affect human beings. Wetlands act as natural storage areas for water. Losing those areas could lead to more severe flooding in many parts of the world. And the act of removing water from wetlands can release huge amounts of carbon dioxide, a major contributor to climate change.Human-made wetlands, however, aren't decreasing in number. Rice fields, water reservoirs and agricultural stock, ponds have all increased since the 1970s. Yet scientists are concerned about this phenomenon. “People brag(自夸)about the fact that there's been no net loss(净损失)of wetlands. But what they've done is destroy natural wetlands and create artificial ones," says Stuart Pimm, a Duke University professor. “It makes it look like you’re doing no harm when the reality is very different. ”4.What's the team’s work in eastern England intended for?A.Digging wet earth for research.B.Researching into an old village.C.Bringing dying ponds back to life.D.Finding wetlands created by people.5.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A.Various functions of wetlands.B.Serious consequences of wetland loss.C.Wetlands' key role in climate change.D.Wetlands' importance to living things.6.Which of the following reflects Stuart Pimm's opinion?A.Artificial wetlands can't replace natural ones.B.Creating artificial wetlands upsets the balance of nature.C.Keeping the total number of various kinds of wetlands is important.D.It's important to balance the numbers of natural wetlands and artificial ones.7.What can be the best title for the text?A.Seeking for More WetlandsB.Saving the World's WetlandsC.Causes of Wetlands' DisappearanceD.Natural Wetlands vs. Artificial WetlandsCAs the novel coronavirus epidemic continues, one school after another has organized online classes. The most common form is live streaming, in which all participants, teacher and students alike, sit in front of a computer camera and see each other via the platform.Many teachers and students simply wear casual clothing for the class, and jokes emerge about each other's appearance. After all, most of the time it is the teacher appearing on screen, and the students, even if called on by the teacher, will only show their faces.Yet Shijiazhuang No. 1 Middle School in Hebei province recently triggered heated discussion by requiring teachers to wear formal suits and students to wear uniforms while attending online classes.By Saturday morning, the related topic has become one of the hottest topics on Sina Weibo, with 180 million views.“The practice can improve students' sense of formality in the online classes and make them more attentive, said Yao Haibo ," a head teacher of the school in a video clip. “It can also grant students a sense of honor and make them remember their identities as students. ”However, in the comment sections, some micro bloggers claiming to be students disagreed.“Not useful. Whether one works hard or not is not decided by a uniform," was the most highly voted comment, with 31,000 “likes"."Maybe a good move, but unnecessary," was another highly voted comment.Whatever the argument is, the problem might be solved in the not — so — distant future. According to official data, the number of newly confirmed diagnosed cases was 397 on Saturday.The students and teachers might, hopefully, see each other in classrooms soon.8. We can infer from the passage that .A.online classes are popular in schoolsB.teachers have classes online as the novel coronavirus epidemic continuesC.teachers and students can see each other via the platformD.teachers mostly appear on screen while students not9.Requiring students to wear uniforms while attending online classes is not because in Shijiazhuang No. 1 Middle School.A.jokes emerge about teachers and students' appearanceB.it can improve students' sense of formalityC.it can protect students from the novel coronavirusesD.it can make students remember their identities as students10. Official online classes in schools may soon because the number of newly confirmed diagnosed cases is dropping.A. continueB. stopC. disappearD. be forbidden11.What’s the writer's attitude towards wearing uniforms while attending online classes?A. Negative.B. Optimistic.C. Supportive.D. Objective.D“If you don't behave, I'll call the police" is a lie that parents generally use to get their young children to behave. Parents! lies work in the short term, but a new study led by NTU Singapore suggests that they're associated with harmful effects when the child becomes an adult.The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents now, and how well they adjust to adulthood challenges. Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report deceiving their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges.Lead author Assistant Professor Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore's School of Social Sciences said, "Parenting by lying can seem to save time especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something is complicated to explain. When parents tell children that "honesty is the best policy', but display dishonesty by lying, such behaviour can send conflicting messages to their children. Parents' dishonesty may eventually break trust and promote dishonesty in children. Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has bad consequences for children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of this and consider alternatives to lying, such as acknowledging children's feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and problem-solving together, to help children develop good behaviour.”The analysis found that parenting by lying could place children at a greater risk of developing problems that the society disapproves, such as aggression and rule-breaking behaviour. Some limitations of the study include relying on what young adults report about their past experience of parents! lying. “Future research can explore using more information providers, such as parents, to report on the same topic," suggested Asst Prof Setoh.12.Why is a parental lie mentioned in the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic for discussion.B.To tell a popular way to educate children.C.To prove the great influence of the police.D.To show the harmful effects of parental lies.13. The underlined word “deceiving" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.A.worryingB. abusingC. disappointingD. cheating14.According to the research, which of the following can parents do?A.Give children chances to choose.B.Force good behaviour on children.C.Let children solve problems alone.D.Stop children knowing what to expect.15.What does the last paragraph imply about the study?A. It is quite controversial.B. It is rather meaningless.C. It needs to be perfected.D. It demands honest responses.第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

had a young family of three boys.My husband Johnny and I left themwith a friend while we made a rare trip to the cinema in Liverpoo1.It was dark and pouring with rain but with the headlights shining on the road,we saw something ahead of us.Johnny pulled to a stop and I jumped out,ran to the grass edge and grabbed a small,wet,and frightened creature.I wrapped it safely in my woollen hat and insisted that my husband turn back and head for home.We thought it was a baby rabbit because it had long ears and was grayish-brown in colour.Once home,we filled a box with torn-up newspaper and a warm towel.We named our new animal Bobsy as wehad no idea of its sex.Sadly though,on the third day with us,it caught its back foot in a door and we quickly realised it was broken.We rushed to the vet(兽医),who said,"It's only a rabbit,I'll put it to sleep."Our response was a very determined,"No way !"We found anther vet and told that she was a baby hare.We were told we should continue to keep

discovery-they have found goldin the leaves and twigs of trees.The researchers believe that the trees suck up the gold from deep underground,over 30 metres down.The discovery has been described as the first of its kind in the world.Australian gold exploration companies are pleased because it will make finding gold cheaper.Rather than drilling deep holes to find gold,they have more ways to examine tree leaves and branches.There is only a tiny amount of gold in the leaves.It would take 500 trees to make one gold ring.The gold is found using a special X-ray machine owned by an Australian government agency.A pure X-ray and a powerful microscope scan the leaves and branches.The claim that this is the first time that gold particles(微粒)have been found in living material might not be true,though.Ancient Chinese wisdom understood the connection between plants and the precious stones and minerals underneath them.They used plant life to find minerals and that was thousands of years ago.In the Zhou Dynasty,it was written in a book that a certain plant grew only near deposits of gold.Over the next 2,000 years,Chinese people wrote about different plants and how they grew,showed where minerals and precious stones such as jade,copper,lead,silver and gold were.Even more importantly,in the ﹩1 000,Su Song described how copper,gold,silver,lead and tin were observed and taken from certain plants.These were amazing scientificdiscoveries.Meanwhile,this knowledge was unknown in the rest of the world until about 1 600.This was when a British man realised that oak trees grew larger and greener where there was alum(明矾)in the ground.Maybe ancient Chinese has moreknowledge to teach modern scientists.What can we know from Paragraph 1 ?______A.500 dead trees can make one gold ring.B.The trees can absorb the gold from deep underground.C.Scientist have found gold 30 meters below underground.D.The companies find it hard to find gold.How do scientists find gold in the leaves?______A.By observing the leaves carefully.B.By drilling deep holes.C.By using a special x-ray.D.By referring to ancient books.Who first discovered that there was connection between plants and minerals?______ A.Ancient Chinese people.B.Su Song.C.Australian scientists.D.A British man.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?______A.To introduce two great scientists in ancient times.B.To provide more evidence to support the writer's opinion.C.To show how ancient people got gold from certain plants.D.To prove that ancient Chinese has more knowledge than modern scientists.30.There's a world of difference between a horror movie and a comedy-the former scares youhalf to death while the latter leaves you rolling on the floor with laughter.But trywatching them without the background music and you just might decide they're not so different after all.Music and movies have been closely connected since the beginning of the film industry-even before the voices of actors were recorded.In movies,music helps to provide a sense of time and place,convey ideas about the characters and,mostimportantly,draw emotions out of the audience.Studies have long shown that our heart rates and anxiety levels rise and fall depending on the speed of the music we hear.Using this knowledge,composers use sudden changes in film music speed to create fear among audiences.Slowing the speed of the music will have the opposite effect,bringing about a sense of peace or a dreamlike quality.The use of dissonant(不和谐的)tones and noises is another technique that heightens tension.Humans naturally become unnerved when we hear dissonant sounds because such noises are usually associated with danger,like those that animals make to warn againstpredators(捕食者).As crucial as it is,the best film music is subtle.All that audiences are supposed to feel isa heightened sense of emotion-they shouldn't realize what's causing it.Only when themusic is taken out of the film should audiences understand its effects.In keeping with this principle,some filmmakers are even using what'scalled"infrasound"(次声波)to arouse fear.While we may not be able to hear itbecause its frequency is below the range of the human ear,infrasound has been proven to cause anxiety,tremble and even sorrow.For example,infrasound was used in the soundtrack of the 2007 horror movie Paranormal Activity,and audiences reposedextremely high fear levels despite the 1ack of action throughout the movie."It doesn'taffect everyone equally,"said British science writer Philip Ball,author of The Music Instinct,but he predicted that"we will see more of it used in movies in the future".What is the difference between a horror movie and a comedy?______A.Their history.B.Their background music.C.Their actors.D.Their time and place.What causes fear among,audiences?______A.The theme of the music.B.The slow speed of the tangle.C.The knowledge of the music.D.The unexpected change of the music.What does the underlined word"subtle"in the third paragraph mean?______ A.Gentle.B.Wonderful.C.Not immediately obvious.D.Not extremely attractive.What do we know about"infrasound"from the last paragraph?______A.It can't be known to people.B.It makes audiences relaxed.C.It is within the range of the human ear.D.It will be used more in movies in the future.五、短文改错(本大题共1小题,共10.0分)31.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文.文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处.每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改.增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词.删除:把多余的用斜线(\)划掉.修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词.注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分.To

ATWO NEWS REPORTSNEWS REPORT 1Even before 5G is widely commercially available, Ch inese telecom giant Huawei has reportedly begun researching the next generation of wireless technology—6G.Tech website “iPhone in Canada^ reported that Huawei has confirmed to local media “The Logic(逻辑学;逻辑性)"that it has started researching 6G technology at its lab in Ottawa, Canada and “ is in talks with Canadian university researchers about working on development of the next-generation wireless system," citing a report by The Logic.Song Zhang, vice-president of research strategy and partnership of Huawei in Canada, said “5G is very new, and looking at 6G is part of the so-called 5G evolution.”Huawei has not commented on the report, according to The Paper.NEWS REPORT 2A Japanese startup called SkyDrive Inc. has begun conducting test flights of their prototype flying car with a human pilot.The company hopes to be able to make a full public demonstration(演示;展示)of the vehicle later this summer.The test flights are being conducted at a protected indoor facility at the company’s research flight center outside of Nagoya.There have been a number of previous test flights, but they were all conducted via remote control and no human pilot on-board.According to a report in The Asahi Shimbun, SkyDrive says the car could be ready for a limited retail release as early as 2023, and mass production by 2026.SkyDrive was founded by former engineers from Toyota and they intend their vehicle to be the world's smallest flying car.In 2017, Toyota gave the company an infusion(灌输)of around $ 350,000 to help develop flying vehicles.The company said it won't say more about how the test flights have been proceeding(行动;进行)so far, but says things are going well enough to continue making them.1.What we can learn from NEWS REPORT 1?A.Huawei and Apple cooperate to develop 6G technology.B.Huawei is the first company to study 6G technology.C.Huawei’s research team studies 6G technology in Canadian laboratories.D.Huawei is not optimistic about the prospects of 6G.2.Which of the following is NOT true about NEWS REPORT 2?A.The company hopes to have an opportunity to make a full public demonstration of the vehicle.B.Previous flight tests were controlled by remote control.C.The car may not be able to mass produce in the near future.D.The car was completely invented and produced by Toyota.3.Which news section are we likely to see these two news reports?A. Entertainment.B. Science and Technology.C. Story.D. History.BA team of farmers, university researchers and environmentalists is busy at work in the wetlands of eastern England. They are digging into the area’s wheat fields, looking for wet earth that could hide lost ponds underneath. It takes the group of diggers just a few hours to revive(使复活)one dying pond. It's near Hindolveston, a thousand-year-old village close to the North Sea.“As soon as the buried ponds get water and light, they just spring to life," says Nick Anema, a farmer in nearby Dereham. He's brought seven ponds on his farm back to life. “Frogs and all the insects like dragonflies can be seen here again,” he said.But the battle for the wetlands is a struggle. While efforts to stop losses are continuing, wetlands around the world are still being filled in and covered up. Over the past three centuries,almost 90% of the world's wetlands have disappeared. The loss rate has increased since the 1970s, with wetlands now disappearing three times faster than the world's forests.Some 5,000 wetland-dependent animal species could die out because of such losses. Wetland loss can also affect human beings. Wetlands act as natural storage areas for water. Losing those areas could lead to more severe flooding in many parts of the world. And the act of removing water from wetlands can release huge amounts of carbon dioxide, a major contributor to climate change.Human-made wetlands, however, aren't decreasing in number. Rice fields, water reservoirs and agricultural stock, ponds have all increased since the 1970s. Yet scientists are concerned about this phenomenon. “People brag(自夸)about the fact that there's been no net loss(净损失)of wetlands. But what they've done is destroy natural wetlands and create artificial ones," says Stuart Pimm, a Duke University professor. “It makes it look like you’re doing no harm when the reality is very different. ”4.What's the team’s work in eastern England intended for?A.Digging wet earth for research.B.Researching into an old village.C.Bringing dying ponds back to life.D.Finding wetlands created by people.5.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A.Various functions of wetlands.B.Serious consequences of wetland loss.C.Wetlands' key role in climate change.D.Wetlands' importance to living things.6.Which of the following reflects Stuart Pimm's opinion?A.Artificial wetlands can't replace natural ones.B.Creating artificial wetlands upsets the balance of nature.C.Keeping the total number of various kinds of wetlands is important.D.It's important to balance the numbers of natural wetlands and artificial ones.7.What can be the best title for the text?A.Seeking for More WetlandsB.Saving the World's WetlandsC.Causes of Wetlands' DisappearanceD.Natural Wetlands vs. Artificial WetlandsCAs the novel coronavirus epidemic continues, one school after another has organized online classes. The most common form is live streaming, in which all participants, teacher and students alike, sit in front of a computer camera and see each other via the platform.Many teachers and students simply wear casual clothing for the class, and jokes emerge about each other's appearance. After all, most of the time it is the teacher appearing on screen, and the students, even if called on by the teacher, will only show their faces.Yet Shijiazhuang No. 1 Middle School in Hebei province recently triggered heated discussion by requiring teachers to wear formal suits and students to wear uniforms while attending online classes.By Saturday morning, the related topic has become one of the hottest topics on Sina Weibo, with 180 million views.“The practice can improve students' sense of formality in the online classes and make them more attentive, said Yao Haibo ," a head teacher of the school in a video clip. “It can also grant students a sense of honor and make them remember their identities as students. ”However, in the comment sections, some micro bloggers claiming to be students disagreed.“Not useful. Whether one works hard or not is not decided by a uniform," was the most highly voted comment, with 31,000 “likes"."Maybe a good move, but unnecessary," was another highly voted comment.Whatever the argument is, the problem might be solved in the not — so — distant future. According to official data, the number of newly confirmed diagnosed cases was 397 on Saturday.The students and teachers might, hopefully, see each other in classrooms soon.8. We can infer from the passage that .A.online classes are popular in schoolsB.teachers have classes online as the novel coronavirus epidemic continuesC.teachers and students can see each other via the platformD.teachers mostly appear on screen while students not9.Requiring students to wear uniforms while attending online classes is not because in Shijiazhuang No. 1 Middle School.A.jokes emerge about teachers and students' appearanceB.it can improve students' sense of formalityC.it can protect students from the novel coronavirusesD.it can make students remember their identities as students10. Official online classes in schools may soon because the number of newly confirmed diagnosed cases is dropping.A. continueB. stopC. disappearD. be forbidden11.What’s the writer's attitude towards wearing uniforms while attending online classes?A. Negative.B. Optimistic.C. Supportive.D. Objective.D“If you don't behave, I'll call the police" is a lie that parents generally use to get their young children to behave. Parents! lies work in the short term, but a new study led by NTU Singapore suggests that they're associated with harmful effects when the child becomes an adult.The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents now, and how well they adjust to adulthood challenges. Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report deceiving their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges.Lead author Assistant Professor Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore's School of Social Sciences said, "Parenting by lying can seem to save time especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something is complicated to explain. When parents tell children that "honesty is the best policy', but display dishonesty by lying, such behaviour can send conflicting messages to their children. Parents' dishonesty may eventually break trust and promote dishonesty in children. Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has bad consequences for children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of this and consider alternatives to lying, such as acknowledging children's feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and problem-solving together, to help children develop good behaviour.”The analysis found that parenting by lying could place children at a greater risk of developing problems that the society disapproves, such as aggression and rule-breaking behaviour. Some limitations of the study include relying on what young adults report about their past experience of parents! lying. “Future research can explore using more information providers, such as parents, to report on the same topic," suggested Asst Prof Setoh.12.Why is a parental lie mentioned in the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic for discussion.B.To tell a popular way to educate children.C.To prove the great influence of the police.D.To show the harmful effects of parental lies.13. The underlined word “deceiving" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.A.worryingB. abusingC. disappointingD. cheating14.According to the research, which of the following can parents do?A.Give children chances to choose.B.Force good behaviour on children.C.Let children solve problems alone.D.Stop children knowing what to expect.15.What does the last paragraph imply about the study?A. It is quite controversial.B. It is rather meaningless.C. It needs to be perfected.D. It demands honest responses.第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Rioghna, a junior at Rochester Mayo High School, had spring sports to play. Hannah, a senior at University of Chicago, was going to have a spring break in Aruba. However, both were canceled because of COVID-19. But they soon recovered and now they are sitting at home, solving Rochester's problemsin their way. Pointing to the computer screen, Hannah tells her sister, “She is a nurse and her child needs to be matched.”The two sisters birthed their plan last Saturday on the drive home from picking up Hannah in Chicago. As more medical workers were sent to work, fighting against the fierce pandemic (流行病), the sisters knew many of their families would need childcare. At the same time, teens throughout Rochester were off school. So on Sunday, Hannah and Rioghna launched Step Up To Sit. Already they’ve paired more than 40 families with sitters.“The young people in the community are stepping up to do their part,” Hannah says, “We are delighted that we’re having an impact on people’s lives in this hard time.” For the last four days, 160 teens have registered to help, most willing to work free if paired with a family in need. With more and more teens joining in, the two sisters decide to launch Step Up To Shop, a platform for teens to deliver groceries to seniors.Rioghna acknowledges people of her age get a bad reputation as smartphone-addicted and selfish. The Pittock sisters are proving otherwise.“Amid the pandemic, people should be allowed to be upset and allowed to be a little bit down about the upset in their lives, but it’s about something bigger and recognizing we all have our part to play here,” Rioghna says.4. Why did the two sisters feel sorry for themselves?A.T hey would join in activities separately.B.They had to give up their planned activities.C.They were infected with COVID-19 seriously.D.T heir parents were sent to battle COVID-19.5.

Which of the following best describes the two sisters?A.T olerant.B. Humble.C. Caring.D. Stubborn.7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.S martphone addiction makes teens selfish.B.The Pittock sisters kept a low profile.C.People can do nothing against pandemic.D.T here is some misunderstanding of teens.CThe low percentage of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers is often attributed (归因于)to men being believed to be better at the sort of thinking those fields require. Though studies have debunked the view, they have largely been based on results acquired from various several standardized tests. Now, researchers from Pennsylvania’s Carnegie Mellon University have found evidence that is hard to overlook: MRI (磁共振成像) proves that young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems.The groundbreaking study to evaluate the biological gender differences in themath talent of young children was led by the university’s professor of neuroscience, Jessica Cantlon. For their study, the team selected 104 young children, between 3 and 10 years old, divided almost equally by gender. The scientists used a functional MRI to observe their brain activity as they engaged in math tasks. These included watching age-appropriate educational videos and doing math exercises such as counting and addition, as well as reading for comparison.“We looked at which areas of the brain respond more strongly to mathematics content in the videos and tasks, compared to non-math content like reading or the alphabet, ”Cantlon said. “When we do that in little girls, we see a particular network of the brain respond, and when we do that same analysis in boys, we see the exact same regions.”So why do girls and young women tend to avoid math and STEM careers in general? Cantlon thinks it may be rooted in social and cultural conventions. Previous studies have indicated that parentstend to spend more time with young boys in play that inspires spatial cognition (空间认知) — such as toys that involve learning number skills and shapes and solving puzzles. Educators werealso observed to spend more time with boys during math class.8. What does the underlined word “debunked” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Disproved.B. Supported.C. Confirmed.D. Overlooked.9. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?A. The purpose of the research.B. The process of the research.C. The participants of the research.D. The findings of the research.10. What contributes to the lack of women in STEM careers?A. Mental capacity.B. Gender difference.C. Traditional prejudice.D. Family background.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. MRI-A Great Helper in ResearchB. Toys-Boosters for STEM PotentialC. Boys and Girls: Equally Talented in MathD. STEM Careers: Calling for More WomenDAlgorithms (算法) affect nearly every part of a person’s experience on the Internet. Search engines are most people’s entry to the Internet. If a person wants to find information about something, they usually start with a search bar. As soon as they start typing or choosing links, the algorithm starts gathering data about every choice users make and uses that data to try to find the websites or information that most directly relate to what the user is looking for.The problem with algorithms is that they can limit the kinds of information people see, says MacMillan, a leading researcher with Project Information Literacy (能力). He argues this can be harmful to people’s critical thinking and lead them to believe that only one point of view is correct.Companies also pay to post advertisements for products that could relate to users’ search data. For example, if you search for places to take a vacation, you will likely start to see ads for travel companies, flights or hotels.Renee Hobbs, director of the Media Education Lab at the University of Rhode Island, however, argues that algorithms are not all bad. She says search engine algorithms can help you find what might be the most useful information faster. But she says it is in the interests of Internet companies to keep users on the Internet for as long as possible so they see more ads.The current generation of young people grow up using the Internet and they are prone (易于遭受) to distrustful information. That is why schools must train students how to use the Internet more wisely in their studies. It is the duty of education to keep students informed about the world around them. Yet it is not the duty of education alone. And lawmakers should consider increasing data protection rules. Individuals can also use a wide variety of websites to avoid algorithmic controls.12. How do algorithms affect users’ Internet experience?A. They lead to slower Internet connection.B. They block ads for users automatically.C. They always help users get reliable links.D. They determine the content users receive.13. What is Hobbs’ attitude to algorithms?A.D oubtful.B. Supportive.C. Objective.D. Indifferent.14. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. Young people fall victim to the Internet.B. Data protection rules are already enough.C. Education is fully responsible for algorithmic controls.D. Joint efforts are needed to handle algorithmic controls.15. Which column of a magazine is the text most likely from?A. Science.B. Entertainment.C. Advertisement.D. Fashion.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A(2015年吉林长春高三新起点调研考试英语试卷)In 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. “Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food—I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. W here is the blue food? ”Well, Carlin pretty much has it right—there’s not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. Theblue in blueberries—like the purple in grapes and the red in tomatoes—is found in nature. Bu t it isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Charles Spence—an experimental psychologist from Oxford University—points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching - green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much harm to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes—while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what?21. George Carlin’s word s are placed at the beginning of the passage to _______.A. show the author’s opinionB. introduce a TV showC. tell a famous personD. lead in the topic22. Which of the following statements of blue is true?A. Blueberries are always blue, whether fresh or not.B. The blue in blueberries is found unnatural.C. Blue is not a very popular color for foods.D. People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.23. Eating sometimes begins with our eyes because _______.A. our taste experience can be influenced by colorB. red-colored food are 20% sweeter than green foodC. people prefer red-colored food to green foodD. before eating, people watch food for a long time24. The underlined words “is dyed” in Para. 4 are closest in meaning to “_______”.A. is eaten upB. has grown upC. is changed in colorD. is harmful toB(2015•甘肃省部分普通高中高三2月第一次联考)A ground-based system that uses much stronger signals than GPS can find your location in cities and indoors. It is a new positioning system that could compete with GPS to make sure you never lose your directions again.Instead of satellites, Locata uses ground-based equipment to launch a radio signal over a localized area that is a million times stronger on arrival than GPS. It can work indoors as well as outdoors, and the makers claim the receivers can be shrunk to fit inside a regular cell phone. Even the US military, which invented GPS technology, signed a contract last month agreeing to a large-scale test of Locata at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.“This is one of the most important technology developments for the future of the positioning industry,” says Nunzio Gambale, CEO and co-founder of the firm Locata, based in Griffith, Australia.As for the Locata’s accuracy, Christopher Morin of the U S Air Force tested it recently at White Sands, and it worked to within 18 centimeters along any axis(轴). Morin says it should be possible to get the resolution down to 5 centimeters.Admittedly, the tests were performed in an open desert where GPS also works beautifully, but its signals are weak—like a car headlight from 20,000 kilometers away—and easily blocked by solid objects. “Locata’s signal is far stronger, though not guaranteed to work in a complex urban environment,” says David Last, consultant to the UK’s General Lighthouse Authorities.“Locata’s technology will face competition in the race to transform indoor navigation. But it could shine in specific areas,” Gambale says. “Robots with Locata could easily navigate inside buildings without the complex optical systems they need at the moment. And process that handle precise location data could not only guide you around a mall, railway station or airport, but also take you to the exact shelf in a shop for the product you want. The units small and cheap enough for smart phones should be available within five years— a similar path to the one GPS took on its way towards world domination.”25. The passage is written mainly to .A. encourage people to buy the LocataB. tell us the disadvantage of the GPSC. introduce a new positioning system LocataD. tell us that Locata will replace GPS one day26. Which of the following is not true about Locata according to Paragraph 2?A. Without the help of the satellites, Locata can tell you where you are.B. The US military has to test it before using it.C. Locata has a better signal than GPS.D. Locata can be fixed into smart phones only.27. Which of the following words can be used to replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4?A. accuracyB. speedC. determinationD. length28. According to the passage, what can we know about Gambale?A. He did the experiment at White Sands.B. He is confident in Locata and think highly of it.C. He said that Locata could not work in a complex urban environment.D. He is worried about the competition that Locata faces.C(江西省重点中学盟校2015届高三第一次十校联考)How do you celebrate New Year’s Day? If I had to take a guess, you probably celebrate New Year’s Day surrounded by family and friends, enjoying drink s of your choice (probably wine and champagne) and watching the ball drop. If you’re particularly lucky, perhaps you share a kiss with that special someone when the clock hits 00:00am.Have you ever imagined how New Year’s Day would look in another country?Listed below are five of the top ten “Unique New Year Traditions from Around the World.”1. Breaking Dishes on Neighbor’s Door——DenmarkA strange and weird Danish New Year tradition, depending on how you look at it, is throwing dishes at neighbor’s door. Strangely, this makes them happy instead of annoying them. The family with the tallest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbolizes their large amount of loyal friends.2. Talking to Spirits——MexicoTalking to spirits is a part of Mexican belief. Mexicans strongly believe that they can communicatewith the souls of their dead loved ones. New Year’s Eve is considered the best time to communicate with dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance. And this is not done at home on an individual basis but is a legal Mexican practice. Taos Inn, in New Mexico for example, offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and meditation for $15. Not a bad price for some helpful guidance!3. Wearing Polka Dots ——PhilippinesImagine streets full of people wearing polka dots and dining room tables full of round shaped food and fruits on one single day of the year. This all actually happens in the Philippines on New Year’s Eve every year. Philippines believe that this will bring them prosperity by associating the round dots to coins and wealth.4. Burning Scarecrow(稻草人)Dummy——EcuadorEcuador has a unique custom of crafting scarecrows and then burning them at midnight. They adorn them and fill the scarecrows with newspapers and pieces of wood. As midnight approaches, everyone gathers outside their home and each family burns their own scarecrow. The tradition says that this destroys all the bad things that took place in the past 12 months. The scarecrow also scares away bad luck, which in turn, fills their new year with luck and happiness.5. Mistletoe(槲寄生)Leaves Are Placed Under Pillow to Find Husband——IrelandThe single women of Ireland wait desperately for New Year’s Eve because it is the night tha t can bring them the love of their lives. They place mistletoe leaves under their pillow hoping to catch their future husband. It is also believed in the Irish culture that this act will help them get rid of bad luck.The world is a large and very differen t place. Yes, people of all nations may celebrate New Year’s much differently around the world, with different traditions, but there are a lot of general themes to be seen. We all want to start a new, fresh year with renewed enthusiasm and hope no matter what happened during the past year. We all want to be happier, find love, renew friendships increase our wealth and also hope for a little extra luck in the coming new year.29. When New Year’s Day is coming, people always celebrate it in many ways EXCEPT __________.A. sharing the time with their loversB. getting together with their familiesC. setting the ball dropD. enjoying drinks with their friends30. What can you learn when you are paying a visiting to Mexico d uring New Year’s Day?A. It’s commonly believed that the dead have spirits and souls living around.B. It’s New Year’s Day that Mexicans consider the best time to talk to spirits.C. You’d better talk to your ancestors just at home secretly,or you’ll break the law.D. You can ask for help free when you want to talk to the dead.31. The single women of Ireland always ________ hoping to catch their future husband on New Year’s Eve.A. wear polka dotsB. burn scarecrow dummyC. break dishes on neighbor’s doorD. place mistletoe leaves under their pillow32. What can you conclude according to the passage?A. No matter how we celebrate New Year, we have the only theme----increasing our wealth.B. Celebrating New Year’s Day means looking forward to a happier and better coming year.C. It’s seldom to see different traditions to celebrate New Year.D. The traditions will be changed with the time going by.D(2015•江苏省南通市第一次调研测试)Dive with Big SharksOur shark dive adventures make use of hookah systems and shark cages. A hookah system is a system of providing air from the surface to divers down below.Cage divers breathe by using a regulator connected to an air hose.Is Shark Diving Dangerous?Yes. You could get sunburn. You could hit your head on the top bunk getting out of bed. You could fall overboard.

But the concept itself isn’t new at all —in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth’s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier’s ideas spread, it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Ar rhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.While Arrhenius’ findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect —still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.4. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The climate change.B. The greenhouse effect.C. The atmosphere.D. The heat from the sun.5. When did the scientists first find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.D. 200 years ago.6. What’s the author’s attitude towards Arrhenius’ wish?A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Ambiguous.7. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Causes of climate change.B. Effects of greenhouse gases.C. Findings about global warming.D. Explorations on climate change.CIt’s com mon knowledge that the woman in Leona rdo da Vinci’s most famouspainting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matterwhere they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that’s15.4 degrees off to the observer’s right—well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you.” This is somewha t ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect” . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars(虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him.To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.So why do people repeat the belief tha t her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just tho ught it was a cool name.8. What is generally believed about the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”?A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.9.What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?A. B.C. D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A. To confirm Horstmann’s belief.B. To create artificial-intelligence avatars.C. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze.D. To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.11.What can we learn from the text?A. Horstmann thinks it’s cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the r uler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgment.DSparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing fo r an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers’ spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrowfocused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.12. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A. The number of its customers was declining.B. Its customers found the food unhealthy.C. It was in need of financial support.D. Most of its restaurants were closed.13. For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A. To build a good relationship with the public.B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C. To learn about customers’ spending power.D. To meet the challen ge from Marcy’s restaurants.14. What do know about the TV ads of Sparrow?A. They changed people’s views on pop stars.B. They amused the public with original songs.C. They focused on the superiority of its products.D. They influenced the eating habits of the audience.15. What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?A. He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.B. He made Sparrow much more competitive.C. He helped Sparrow take over a company.D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020届新高考英语模拟卷(山东卷)(含答案解析)第二卷一、阅读理解A1. How much is Mathematical Induction now?A. About $ 16.93.B. About $ 64. 63.C. About S 67. 70.D. About $ 84.63.2. What do we know about the book written by Larry Cuban?A. It focuses on technological reform in education.B. It aims to improve pre-school education.C. It helps with students’mathematical ability.D. It is based on various academic studies.3. Which book is the most culture-specific?A. Mathematical Induction.B. The Flight of a Butterfly or the Path of a Bullet?.C. The Fight for America's Schools.D. The White Chalk of Days.BI moved to the United States as a teenager.The adjustment to a new place was difficult.But there was major stress in my life at that time :I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, there was another universal language I loved to learn as a child:art.Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school, I mostly dismissed art as a path to a career. Since my dad always said "Think about the future", I did not think he would support the study of art once I went to college. But, to my surprise, it was my parents who suggested just that and urged me to apply to technical and liberal arts schools.I was admitted into industrial design. It’s basically to design products and services. I could be doing something more technical or something more related to problem-solving. It was no easy task to do the course including metalworking, woodworking and model making. In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month, which led me to a question:"Wow! Do I really want to do this? "But I finally survived the course.Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design, a famous architecture and interior design company. I have experience in exhibit design, product design and website design, apart from which I enjoy developing public art in my free time.Throughout my career,I’ve picked up different things along the way. The best way to learn in my opinion is through working, therefore, get as many projects as you can. Industrial design kind of makes you an all-round person.1. Wh at was the author’s biggest problem when first moving to America?A. The adaption to a new environment.B. Difficulty in learning a new language.C. Fathers disapproval of her studying art.D. The burden of being a communicator.2. What made the author choose to study art?A. Her deep love for art.B. The suggestion of her family.C. Her potential in design.D. The need of a good job.3. Why was the author’s experience of drawing cubes mentioned?A. To emphasize her effort at study.B. To express the regret at her choice.C. To prove the course was difficult.D. To show the basic content of the course.4. How did the author feel when she mentioned her career?A. Surprised.B. Stressed.C. Eager.D. Proud.CWhat are dreams for? A handful of theories have the most influence. Sigmund Freudfamously claimed that they reveal hidden truths and wishes. Despite being largely unsupported by evidence, researchers found that students in the U. S., Korea, and India were much more likely to accept the view. In the same study, respondents said that dreaming about a plane crash would cause them more anxiety than an official warning about a terrorist attack. More recent research suggests that they may help us process intense emotions, or perhaps sort through and strengthen memories, or rehearse responses to threatening situations.Even if dreams can't foretell the future, they seem to expose our shared fascinations. The majority of dreams occur during REM sleep cycles, of which the average person has four or five a night. A study of Canadian university students found the most common dream topics to be school, falling, being chased, and arriving too late for something.For all the commonalities dreams exhibit, they vary across time—people who grew up watching black-and-white TV are more likely to dream in black and white—and culture. A 1958 study determined that compared with Japanese people, Americans dreamed more about being looked up, losing a loved one, finding money. Japanese people were more likely to dream about school, trying repeatedly to do something, being paralyzed with fear, or "wild, violent beasts."If human dreams sound boring, bear in mind that even negative ones can have positive effects. In a study of students taking a French medical-school entrance exam, 60 percent of the dreamsthey had beforehand involved a problem with the exam, such as being late or leaving an answer blank. But those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn't.1.What do you know about Freud's view on dreaming?A.It will cause people more anxiety.B.It's already been proved by evidence.C.It's popular with some American and Asian students.D.It can reveal the hidden truth and predict the future.2. According to recent research, dreams may _______.A.make emotions intenseB.help prepare for special situationsC.reduce our memoriesD.help us take notes3. According to paragraphs 2 and 3, which of the following is true?A.The average person has four or five REM sleep cycles a night.B.Canadian students aren't worried about being late for school.C.Americans usually share the same dream topics with Japanese.D.Films about wild beasts may be widely shown in America in 1958.4. If you dream that you failed the exam, _______.A.your dream will come trueB.you'll be depressed with fearC.you are supposed to take it seriouslyD.it shows that you care a lot about the examDWhile many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being “tea people”. The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common typedrunk in the UK. Black tea is dark in color, because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (氧化)before drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk,although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon. You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers (茶托)for visitors.Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease. The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2002, and has been dropping ever since. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone, and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More than £ 1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013—more than twice what was spent on tea bags.Still, what goes around comes around; it’s sure to become fashionable again.1. What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?A. Tea made its way to England in the early years of the 16th century.B. The UK usually serves black tea with lemon.C. Tea from China was being sold more widely in England now.D. UK citizens take pride in being “tea people”.2. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone.B. Since 2002, the sales of tea has been on the decrease.C. In 2013, the money spent on tea was £3 billion.D. Most restaurants like selling tea better than coffee.3. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. It can never succeed again.B. The tea can become popular again.C. Coffee is more popular than tea.D. The tea is becoming less popular.4. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce tea in the UK.B. To show the authors preference for tea.C. To introduce the functions of tea.D. To compare tea in China and the UK.二、七选五根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It has ail extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.For the last few years, Norway has registered the highest quality 6f life among the worlds nations. It is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Norwegians can also expect to get a good education, the job they wan! — unemployment is only 4 percent according to recent data updated in January,2019 — enjoy good health and live a long life. Its achievement today is completely unexpected for many people, especially senior citizens there. Just 80 years ago Norwegians were moving to the USA in their thousands in search of a better life. The rise in oil prices in the 1970s changed all that. On a per-capita(人均的) basis, Norway is the world’s largest producer of oil outside of the Middle East.When you arrive in Oslo, the capital of Norway, for the first don't expect to be met byDubai-style skyscrapers, and rows of Ferraris and Porsches. In 2018, Norway became one of the few countries where over 5 in every 100 passenger cars on the roads is a plug-in electric one. Norwegians also work hard and are always near the top in research on global worker productivity rates. Bui in today’s high-tech world where work seems to follow us wherever we go, the people of Norway are redefining(重新定义)what wealth means. Laws just recently passed by the government attach great importance to family and time off.Also, the country is saving for the future. Every dollar earned from oil is put straight into its pensions ——worth billions of dollars. At a time when most other western countries are wondering how they will finance the pensions of a growing retired population, Norway is sitting pretty.1.Where is the Skagerrak strait?A.Near the Barents Sea.B.On the east of Finland.C.Near the north of Norway.D.On the north of Denmark.2.What leads to Norway’s success?A.Its huge reserve of oil.B.Its low unemployment rate.C.Its quality education.D.Its pleasant natural environment.3.What can be inferred about Norway from paragraph 3?A.Norwegians are seeking modern life.B.It is modest about its wealth.C.It puts much focus on the traffic.D.Norwegians try to keep away from high technology.4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph convey?A.Norway’s future should be considered.B.Norway wouldn’t like to make changes.C.Norway has accumulated enough pensions.D.Norway's retired population is decreasing.3、There are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake to in the morning. For me, it's the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Just a sniff of it makes me jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen for a gulp of the hot black liquid.If you're a big fan of coffee, you'll understand that opening a new packet of coffee releases an amazing smell-fresh, roasted coffee beans. And you'll be able to identify the beans' origin-Colombia, Vietnam or Brazil. Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner; he believes the smell is absolutely vital. "When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you're getting physiological responses."I know from experience when I walk into a cafe, my mouth begins to water and it's the smell that makes me feel good. However, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment. This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. Yes, it's convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it?You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose. As well as eliminating the smell, takeawaycoffee cups create a lot of waste and the vast majority of them still don't get recycled. So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup in a cafe, chatting with friends and saving the planet!(1).In which aspect does the author agree with Tim Hayward?A.People drink coffee first thing in the morning.B.Coffee beans' origin makes all the difference.C.Some people are addicted to drinking coffee.D.It's the smell of coffee that really matters.(2).What does the author complain about?A.The process of making coffee.B.The high temperature of coffee.C.The design of the paper coffee cup.D.The inconvenience of buying coffee.(3).Which can replace the word "eliminating" underlined in Paragraph 4?A.Creating.B.Removing.C.Increasing.D.Changing.(4).What can be the best title of the text?A.Wake up and smell the coffeeB.Try to be a real lover of coffeeC.Drink coffee to save the planetD.Choose takeaway coffee for convenience4、On average, Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices(设备) and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. That is a claim made by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk, Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and look at social media puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains, is important for critical(有判断力的) thinking, problem-solving and decision-making.So, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in nature, Strayer claims, helps get a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15, 000 campers from around the worldattended an international camping festival in September. That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore, swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.Take Carl for example. He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping. He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband arid two children. She calls it a "regenerative” experience.At the University of Utah, David Strayer has studied both shortterm and long-term exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However, he found, it is the long-term contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three clays in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.1.What is David Strayer's opinion?A.Americans dislike outdoor activities.B.Electronic equipment should be quitted.C.New technologies are a double-edged sword.D.Electronic equipment brings great convenience.2.Why does Strayer insist we go outdoors?A.To try another lifestyle.B.To refresh our brain.C.To make better decisions.D.To play with our family and friends.3.What does the underlined word "regenerative" mean?A.Reborn.B.Memorable.C.Remarkable.D.Tiring.4.Which is the proper title for the passage?A.Electronic Equipment Harms theB. Good Rest Develops Good MemoryC.Tips on Using New TechnologiesD.Being in Nature Is Good for the Brain5、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。
