英语一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AI had a teacher who used to wake up in class by shouting："The early bird gets the worm!" I say "let him have the worm"．I hate food that doesn't stay still，and avoid Japanese restaurants for that very reason．Anyway，I stopped eating worms at the age of three，switching to regular breakfasts of cereal（谷物），to which I would add extra sugar．Recently I was thinking about early birds and the competitive spirit after receiving a letter from a reader in Malaysia："My son deliberately throws away marks because he doesn't like to be top of the class．What shall I do？" Give him a round of "applause" for being smart! Actually many children in Asia tend to be the focus by performing better．Placed into a very competitive class when I was 11，I quickly learned the ideal position was second to last．The top three performers and the very last person are highlighted；the second-to-last contestant is INVISIBLE．And it's an easy position to get-just deliberately underperform at every test．I could do that．I once came second to last in eight straight sports day races．No one suspected anything．I was so invisible that I could have robbed a bank in my street and no one would have noticed．At the London Olympics a few months ago，badminton pairs from three Asian countries deliberately tried to lost matches to draw good lots in later rounds．It was funny to watch，but they were all thrown out for poor sportsmanship．What they really needed were acting lessons，their moves were so unconvincing．"Oops，I hit the ball in entirely the wrong direction．"The other day，I took the children out and they raced for the car．"I'm first，" said one．The second said："First is worst，second is best．" Together they sang at the last one："And third's the one with a hairy chest．"It struck me that the organizers of sports matches could use this song when people deliberately lost matches．"I lost，" the delighted loser will say．The judges could still declare them winners，pointing to a new，optional regulation："First is worst，second is best，third's the one with a hairy chest．"1.How did the author manage to be invisible in a competitive class？______A. He highlighted the top three students．B. He came to second in sports races．C. He hid himself in a bank skillfully．D. He intentionally underperformed．2.What can be learned from the passage？______A. The judge is encouraged to eliminate the dishonest players．B. Players disqualified from Olympic doubles for using drugs．C. Children's song praises the dramatic acting skills of athletes．D. players purposefully failed for easier lots in the following rounds．3.Which saying might the author possibly support？______A. Great minds think alike．B. God favors those who are prepared．C. Honesty is the best policy．D. A bird in hand is worth two in the bushBDear Alcohol，You've been around forever．I can remember all the pain you've caused me．Do you remember the night when you almost took my father's life？I do．He loves you．Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me．He's addicted to you and to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them．You just sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street，crashing into two other cars．He wasn't the only one badly hurt by you that night．Do you remember the night of my first high school party？My friends were intrigued by you．They treated you as if they were never going to see you again，drinking all of you that they could．I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you．"I'm so embarrassed，" they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up．"I'm sorry，" they said when I called taxis for them，walking them out and paying the driver in advance．"This won't happen again，" they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped．Two 15 year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you．Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17 year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons？Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car head-on and killed two people in the other car？He died the next morning too．His sister walked home from her dance lesson，and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio．She didn't realize her brother was among them at all．She never saw him again．And it was all your fault．I wish you'd walk out of my life forever．I don't want anything to do with you．Look at all the pain you've caused．Sure，you've made people happy too from time to time．But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is not excusable．Stop attracting the people I love！Stop hurting me，please．Sincerely，Me4.What did Alcohol do to the author's father that night？______A. It made him drunken and took his life away．B. It made him kill two other people when driving．C. It got him into a car accident and badly injured．D. It got him into trouble and got his stomach pumped．5.What does the underlined phrase "were intrigued by" probably mean in the letter？______A. Were interested in．B. Were satisfied with．C. Were familiar with．D. Were disappointed by．6.What is the author's purpose in writing this letter？______A. To warn people not to drive after drinking．B. To persuade people to get away from alcohol．C. To tell people three sad stories about alcohol．D. To warn people against the pain caused by alcohol．7.How was the author feeling while writing his letter？______A. Shocked．B. Responsible．C. Disappointed．D. Sorrowful．CDavid Rees runs a truly distinctive business．He charges customers ﹩15 to sharpen their pencils toperfection，using a variety of tools．I know what you're thinking - is this a joke？The 39-year-old gets asked that question a lot．To clarify everything，he even created a special section on his website telling everyone he's actually providing a real service．You can supply your own pencil or you can have Rees sharpen one of his own favorite 2B pencils．After that，he mails it to you in a display tube with the shavings in a separate bag，and an authentic certificate which just happens to mention the pencil is so sharp as to be a dangerous object．To achieve the desired result，the master sharpener uses all kinds of tools，including generalsandpaper，pocket knives and even a special ﹩450 sharpening machine．"It depends on what thecustomer wants to use his/her pencil for，" he says．That determines the most appropriate pencilsharpening technique．Some customers buy pencils as inspirational symbols while others buy them because of their special memories of classic 2B pencils．﹩15 to have a pencil sharpened is a bit expensive though，right？You're not the only one who feelsthat way，and David's unique business has really angered lots of people，who talk of inequality in America，saying it is so insane for the wealthy to pay ﹩15 to sharpen a pencil．But others will say，"This is just our urge to put an end to the welfare state because new ideas arise along with the business．"David admits his trade is sort of unusual．But there are those who actually value his service，as is proven by the over 500 orders he has gotten．8.From his words，we can infer that David Rees ______ ．A. knows all kinds of pencil usersB. provides personalized servicesC. values ideas behind the pencilsD. always writes in pencil9.What does the underlined word "insane" in Paragraph 5 mean？______A. Deliberate．B. Rewarding．C. Unreasonable．D. Irresponsible．10.What seems to be the author's attitude to David Rees' trade？______A. It's a fancy service．B. It has a good reputation．C. It's awfully expensive．D. It wastes time and money．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）In a world surrounded by bad news，it may feel like an unhappy place sometimes．(1)If you make even one person smile today，you can help make this world a better place．Here is a list of ideas to help you．(2) In this day and age where everything is sent via the Internet，it's a shock to receive a letter throughthe post．Putting pen to paper and writing a few words to a friend can be an easy way to make a positive impact．Requiring some time and research to find the perfect project，volunteering is one of the nicest things you can do．Whether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from shelters for a walk，the simple fact that you are giving your time to help someone else is incredible．There are so many opportunities．(3)Tell someone "I love you"．It can be anyone．(4) Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you，or remind your mum that it's her birthday．Sometimes，in our busy lives we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us．(5) Whether you're creative or not，taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate them．Even if you think you're not creative，the recipient will feel lucky to get such a unique gift that you put your precious time into．Some ideas could include a card，painting，drawing，song，poem or cake!A．However，you can make a difference．B．It's a surprise to send a handwritten letter．C．And you don't even have to say "I love you"．D．So you are sure to find one that is right for you．E．And it doesn't necessarily have to take up all your life．F．Making something for a special person is always unique．G．Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really make someone's day．11.

few years， however， a number of states in America have dropped them． Although some states still use them for diplomas， the number is down from a high of 27 states during the testing craze promoted by No Child Left Behind （NCLB）．The appearance of this phenomenon is small wonder． Researches clearly show that exit test s have little positive effects on students． A 2014 report found exit testing was associated with lower graduation rates， negatively affected labor market outcomes， and， most alarmingly ， produced a 12.5 percent increase in incarceration （监禁） rates． Exit exams， the study concluded， had tended to add little value for most students．Exit testing relies on the following assumptions． One is that standardized testing can serve as a kind of "quality control" for high school graduates， guaranteeing that graduates are college ready． The other is that they have predicting value for future success in academic situations．But there is little evidence． The tests don't exactly measure what they pretend to measure． For example， qualities such as intelligence， academic ability， college readiness are not det ermined． Those that should be developed in all young people， like responsibility， critical t hinking， and empathy （移情），are not measured， either． Even supporters of exit tests have acknowledged that they don't off er reliable data．Thus， more and more people are suggesting that exit test scores ought to be just one compo nent of the high school diploma． Schools should consider many other records including credit s earned， courses taken，activities， service， projects and other elements of academic accomplishment so that students can be evaluated flexibly． In other words， exit test scores should never be the only criterion for high school diplomas．答案和解析1.【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】D

安徽省安庆市桐城市2020届高考英语模拟试卷 Word版含答案

英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AIn this age of Internet chat，videogames and reality television，there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied．Yet，despite the competition，my -year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories．She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest，a competition she won last year．As a writer I know about winning contests，and about losing them．I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher．I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories．What if she doesn't win the contest again ？That's the strange thing about being a parent．So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface．A revelation（启示）came last week when I asked her，" Don't you want to win again ？" No，" she replied，" I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade．"I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously（自发地）told them．Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall，I offered suggestions for characters，conflicts and endings for her tales．The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly "guided" by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson．I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it．Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks．Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade，I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting（借用）my daughter's experience．While stepping back was difficult for me，it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps，putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked．All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment，grow and find their own voices．1.What do we learn from the first paragraph？______A. A lot of distractions compete for children's time nowadays．B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities．C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time．D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing．2.What did the author say about her own writing experience？______A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more．B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers．C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer．D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations．3.Why did Rebecca want to enter this year's writing contest？______A. She had won a prize in the previous contest．B. She wanted to share her stories with readers．C. She was sure of winning with her mother's help．D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing．BSeveral months ago I decided it would be wise to investigate the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy，if for no other reason than because I understood it might be a good investment．I got the name of an insurance agent from a friend and called the agent to get some information．From the kinds of questions I put to him，the agent would tell that I knew nothing about insurance so he kindly offered to explore the matter with me in more detail．-to help me determine the kind of policy I ought to be considering．That evening he appeared at my door promptly at 7：30；without wasting time on amenities he spread his papers out on the kitchen table and launched into a lengthy explanation．I listened attentively as he talked about the difference between various types of policies，and he explained the kind of coverage he felt I ought to have because of my age bracket and financial objectives．Toward the end of the evening （after three or four hours of talking），he kindly helped me fill out an application for a 50，000 dollar policy，and then he asked if I could go to a Dr．Luther's office on Friday for a physical examination．I don't know why，but it was not until the mention of the doctor's appointment that I realized fully what was happening．I was about to sign a lifetime contract yet I had not really made a decision about whether I wanted to buy the policy or not．As a matter of fact，the question of the need for a decision from me one way or the other had not even come up．Suddenly I felt sure that I definitely did not want to buy the policy．However，since he had spent so much time with me，I didn't want to make him feel that he had wasted his time．So I invented an excuse about things I had to do on Friday，and I assured him I would call him in a few days．Actually，I had no intention of going to see Dr．Luther or of calling the agent again．I wanted to forget the whole thing．It's been over three months now since our meeting，and my friendly insurance agent still calls at my office faithfully two or three times a week．My secretary knows that I don't want to talk to him，so when he calls she tells him that I'm in a meeting or that I'm out of the office or that I'm away on a business trip．I realize now that it was a mistake not to tell him outright that I'm not interested，and please not to bother me any more，all I can do is to avoid his calls and hope I don't run into him someplace．4.The writer phoned the insurance agent because ______ ．A. He wanted to fill out an application for a life insurance policy．B. He had decided to buy a life insurance policy．C. He wanted to explore the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy．D. He took great interest in the insurance company．5.According to the passage，the agent was ______ ．A. an experienced salesmanB. kind but inexperiencedC. ineffectiveD. easy to deal with6.The writer didn't tell the agent the truth because ______ ．A. he was afraid of him．B. he felt embarrassed to do so．C. he thought it none of the agent's business．D. he didn't wish to lose the agents friendship．7.The writer realizes that ______ ．A. he should have told the truth to the agent earlier．B. he should buy the policy．C. the agent is a real friend．D. insurance is but swindle（骗局）CThe letter arrives from a school that your son told you is his dream school．You dare not open it，instead，you hand it to him when he arrives home from school．You watch as his eyes light up and you know this is the beginning of something．You are just not sure what．Your son insists that the coach must really want him since he took the time to write him a letter．Is this in fact true？Did he write other kids and if so how many？How would you know？The simple fact of the matter is that you can read very little into that first letter．Coaches cast a wide net in the first few stages of the recruiting（录取）cycle．That letter may in fact，be the first and last time your son ever hears from that particular coach．Think about it：if he has not seen your sons transcripts or his standardized test scores，if you have not visited the school，if he has no knowledge of your financial needs，can it be anything significant？So how do you treat these letters or emails？Is there some format you can apply？Say tor instance，three letters mean real interest…or three letters and a call means a greater degree of interest？My experience in deal with cases of various applications is that answers will not come automatically．Call the coach and find out how real the interest in fact is．"Is my son a top recruit in your mind？" "How many players at his position will you be recruiting this year？" By asking these simple and direct questions，you as a parent，will have established a dialogue and hopefully figured out how much interest，if any really exists．However，here comes the challenge．Applicants and parents are vague with coaches about their intention and level of interest all the time．In fact，the coach's situation is no less confusing than yours．He is fighting a similar battle on multiple choices．There is little clarity on either end．Enjoy that first letter．Let's hope it is one of many and let's hope you apply a bit of realism with a bit of wishful thinking about how happy your son should be when this is all over．8.How did the parent feel about the letter that his son got from his dreamed school？______A. expectantB. hesitantC. doubtfulD. hopeful9.According to the passage，by calling the coach，parents car ______ ．A. determine the level of interest from coachB. build up a communication with the coachC. identify the real intention of the coachD. understand more about the situation of the coach10.The author of the passage is most likely to be ______ ．A. a consultant to help students with their applicationB. a parent with similar experiencesC. a school authority that supervises the applicationD. a coach in charge of the application11.The purpose of the passage is to ______ ．A. remind parents of the importance of the first letter from coachesB. tell parents how to react to the first letter from coachesC. advise parents to ignore the first letter from coachesD. warn parents to be realistic towards the first letter from coachesDSince we are social beings，the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships．One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances．Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties．Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily difficulties．People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties．Studies over a range of illnesses，from depression to heart disease，show that the presence of social support helps people protect themselves from illness，and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely．Social support cushions stress in a number of ways．First，friends，relatives，and co-workers may let us know that they value us．Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties．Second，other people often provide us with informational support．They help us to explain and understand our problems and find solutions to them．Third，we typically find social companionship supportive．Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting（转移……注意力）us from our worries and troubles．Finally，other people may give us instrumental support-financial aid，material resources，and needed services-that reduces stress by helping us solve and deal with our problems．12.Research shows that people's physical and mental health has much to do with ______ ．A. the social medical systemB. the amount of support they get from othersC. their strength for dealing with interpersonal tiesD. their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles13.The underlined word "cushions" probably means" ______ "．A. adds up toB. lessens the effect ofC. does away withD. lays the foundation for14.Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of ______ ．A. important supportB. informational supportC. social activityD. the strengthening of self-respect15.Social companionship is beneficial in that ______ ．A. it helps strengthen our ties with relativesB. it enables us to get rid of our faults and mistakesC. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyableD. it draws our attention away from our worries and troubles二、单选题（本大题共30小题，共90.0分）16.It was a long time before the cut on my hand______

安徽省安庆市桐城市2020高三英语试卷Word版含答案英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题，共30.0分)I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical achievements． A newspaper reporter interviewed him why he was able to be so much more creative than the average person． What set him so far apart from others？He responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old． He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle， spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor-a real sea of milk!When his mother came into the kitchen，instead of shouting at him，giving him a lecture or punishing him，she said，"Robert， what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge pool of milk． Well， the damage has already been done． Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up？"Indeed， the boy did． After a few minutes， his mother said，"You know，Robert，whenever you make a mess like this，eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order． How would you like to do that？ We could use a sponge（海绵），a towel or a mop． Which do you prefer？" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk．His mother then said，"You know，what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands． Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottlewith water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it． "The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands，he could make it． What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes．1. When the mother found the kitchen floor covered with milk， she ______ ．A. gave the boy a lecture instead of shouting at himB. praised the boy instead of punishing himC. felt satisfied with the boy's trying to help himselfD. calmed down the boy and helped him find a way to clean the floor2. The child's experience resulted in the following BUT ______ ．A. offering the boy a chance tograsp the bottleB. benefiting the boy all his lifeC. helping the boy be more creativeD. making the boy realize the mistake is of value3. According to the passage， the way the scientist's mother used is ______ ．A. instructiveB. strictC. formalD. strangeToday's buzz words， which include global warming and zero emissions，are causing everyday people （not just celebrities）to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint． Based on this trend， entire districts， known as eco-communities， are beingdesigned with green initiatives in mind．Dockside Green in Victoria，British Columbia，Canada is one of these communities． If everything goes according to plan， Dockside Green will be a self-sufficient community． The plans describe a variety of environmental features，some of which have never been seen．Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make．They ensure proper ventilation （通风），and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air． Interior and exterior building materials， such as paints and wood，are natural and non-toxic （无毒的）．Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it is durable and does not require pesticides to grow．Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities，such as Dockside Green．Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot water，they also save residents and business owners money． Dockside Green claims that home owners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada． Studies show that people use approximately 20% less energy when they are billed for exactly what they use．In addition，water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing toilets．Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account． Dockside Green plans on reusing 90% of its construction waste． They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all oftheir transport and maintenance needs． This is a great way to reduce emissions． Finally， plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable biomass instead of fossil fuels．The first two stages of development at DocksideGreen have already been completed， and many other plans are in the works． Other smaller eco-villages can be found around the world． Residents of these communities aim to reduce their carbon footprint and be models for sustainable living．4. The purpose of the article is to ______ ．A. introduce eco-communitiesB. describe Dockside Green's plansC. advertise Dockside GreenD. illustrate sustainable living5. According to the article，what percentage of energy saving will Dockside Green residents save？ ______A. 100%．B. 90%．C. 55%．D. 20%．6. Bamboo is an environmentally friendly choice for builders because it ______ ．A. provides good air circulationB. keeps pests out of housesC. is toxic substances freeD. can be used for a long time7. What will Dockside Green try to do in the future？ ______A. To find fossil fuel alternatives．B. To develop an interior transportation system．C. To use most of construction waste again．D. To cooperate with other eco-villages．As you move out of your teens and into your 20s and 30s，your musical tastes start to solidify and you likely quit keeping up with popular music． Now， research has found the average age at which your music library is unlikely to change： 33．The study's author reached this conclusion by analyzing data on U．S．Spotify users and comparing it to artist popularity data from music intelligence company The Echo Nest．To determine the age at which we stop seeking out new tunes， the author gathered self-reported age data from Spotify and looked atusers'"Taste Profiles，" which tracks how many times listeners have streamed individual artists．These artists were then matched to theirpopularity rank on The Echo Nest．The average teen listens almost only to music among the Billboard，the 200 highest-ranking albums in the country， but this music represents a smaller part of their streaming as they age． In their teens， they listen to a lot of the same music，over and over again．Frank T．McAndrew，a professor of psychology at Knox College，explains that's the "mere exposure effect" at work，and it basically means，the more we're exposed to something，the more we like it．There are many reasons why a person may stop streaming the current top musical hits，and the author looked into one by identifying Spotify listeners with large amounts of children's music and nursery rhymes in their libraries． In other words， when users may have become parents．But the study concludes with some good news for parents："If you're getting older and can't find yourself staying as relevant as you used to， have no fear - just wait for your kids to become teenagers， and you'll get exposed to all the popular music of the day once again!"8. What happens after teens grow older？ ______A. They quit listening to music．B. Their interest in music fades．C. They change their music libraries．D. Their musical tastes become stable．9. What is the way of the research？ ______A. Interviews．B. Analyzingdata．C. Observation．D. Trackingpopularity．10. How do teens develop their musical tastes？ ______A. They listen to what they like repeatedly．B. They act like their favorite popular stars．C. They experience different styles of music．D. They like high-ranking music worldwide．11. What's the good news for parents in the last paragraph？______A. Parents will regain their faith in music．B. Parents will influence their teens in music．C. Parents will hear their favorite music again．D. Parents will enjoy the music for teens again．They still bite，but new research shows lab-grown mosquitoes are fighting dengue fever - a dangerous disease that they normally would spread． Dengue infections appear to be dropping fast in communities in Indonesia，Vietnam，Brazil and Australia that are filled with the specially grown mosquitoes．Researchers first injected （注射）mosquito eggs with Wolbachia bacteria that's common in insects and harmless to people in a lab．Infected females then pass the bacteria on through their eggs．Releasing enough Wolbachia carriers，both the females that bite and the males that don't，allows mating（交配）to spread the bacteria through a local mosquito population．Rather than using chemicals to wipe out pests， "this is really about transforming the mosquito，" said Cameron Simmons of the nonprofit World Mosquito Program，which is conducting the research．The first success came from Australia． Mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia were released in parts of North Queensland starting in 2011，and gradually spread through the local mosquito population． Dengue is spread when a mosquito bites someone who is infected， and then bites another person， but somehow Wolbachia blocks that- and local spread has nearly disappeared in those North Queensland Communities， Simmons said．The studies are continuing in other countries．But the findings，presented at a meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene， suggest it's possible to turn at least some mosquitoes from a public health threat into annoying biters．The work marks "exciting progress，" said Michigan State University professor Zhiyong Xi， who wasn't involved with the project but has long studied how Wolbachia can turn mosquitoes against themselves．More research is needed，specialists cautioned．"The results are pretty exciting - strong levels of reductions - but there clearly are going to be things to be learned from the areas where the reductions are not as great，" said Penn State University professor Elizabeth McGraw．12. What can we learn about the lab-grown mosquitoes？______A. They lose the ability to bite people．B. They become harmful to human beings．C. They carry dangerous Wolbachia bacteria．D. They spread Wolbachia bacteria by mating．13. What does the underlined word "that" refer to in Paragraph 4？______A. The bite from a mosquito．B. The local community．C. The spread of Dengue．D. The infected person．14. What do the last two paragraphs suggest？ ______A. This research proves a complete success．B. Scientists agree on this research．C. There is still room for improvement．D. Mosquitoes turn themselves against harmful ones．15. What is the best title for the text？ ______A. Bacteria- infected Mosquitoes Bite Deadly Dengue．B. Transform Mosquitoes into Annoying BitersC. Fight against Mosquitoes with WolbachiaD. Harmless Mosquitoes Are on Their Way二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)Many people often find themselves waking up in the middle of the night，unusually awake and excited．16 ．That's really frustrating．However，there is no need to worry．Here are some effective ways to help you fall asleep again．Remain in bed．For you to fall asleep，your heart rate needs to slow down． When you get up， your heart rate goes up． So， avoid going to the bathroom during the night if you can． Do not eat too little or too much for dinner． Do not drink and fill your bladder （膀胱）before bed．17 ． It may make you fall asleep faster， but it may also disrupt your sleep later in thenight．Stay in the dark． When you cannot sleep， LED lights on printers and cable boxes may be the reason． The same is true for light streaming in through cracks in curtains．18 ．You should cover lights with tape and wear a sleep mask． A popular choice has deep eye cups so your eyes can open and shut while you wear them．Quiet your mind．Try ways to relax，such as deep breathing，meditation， and mindfulness exercises．19 ． The point is to keep your brain busy with something that is not demanding and is relaxing．20 ． If your wake-up time is 6：30 a．m． and your clock reads 3：00 a．m．， do not think Oh no!

Perhaps，it is true．But what I think more often now is that living without it teaches us responsibility．I try to live each day at the maximum in order to regret nothing．This is actually what our parents always try to do when we are children．But you know what？I am glad that no time machine has been invented．5.What's the writer's main purpose of writing Paragraph 1？______A.

A Unique Experience for High School StudentsDA global group of scientists have reduced the time it takes to find and introduce disease resistance genes from wild plants into domestic （国内的）crops such as rice，wheat and potato，a research revealed on Tuesday．Scientists from the John Innes Center in Britain，along with colleagues from Australia and the United States，have created a database known as AgRenSeq，where researchers can easily search for resistance genes already discovered in wild relatives of modem crops．The study was co-authored by a global expert Professor HarbansBariana from the University ofSydney，who said that this technology will support the discovery and characterization of new sources of disease resistance in plants．Once researchers have identified resistance genes using AgRenSeq，they can clone them and introduce them to domestic crops to protect against diseases and pests．"We have found a way to scan the genome（基因组）of a wild relative of a crop plant and pick out the resistance genes we need and we can do it in record time，" Dr．Brande Wulff，a project leader from the John Innes Centre，said．"This used to be a process that took 10 or 15 years and was like searching for a needle in a haystack （干草堆），" Wulff said．"We have perfected the method so that we can clone these genes in a matter of months and for just thousands of dollars instead of millions．"The team are highly optimistic about their work，predicting it to be utilized in protecting many crops with wild relatives including soybeans，pea，cotton potato，wheat，rice，banana and cocoa．"Using speed cloning and speed breeding we could deliver resistance genes into the best varieties within a couple of years，like a phoenix（凤凰）rising from the ashes，" Wulff added．12.How have the researchers developed the resistance genes？______A. By reducing the research time．B. By introducing them to wild plants．C. By cloning them from domestic crops．D.

Studied．15.What can we infer From what Brande Wulff said？______A. The resistance genes cost millions of dollars．B. Thy resistance genes were found in a haystack．C. It look the researchers ten years to find the resistance genes．D. Disease-resistance genes will be put into practice soon．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Vitamin D is necessary for bone-building，immune （免疫）function，blood sugar control ，positive mood and more．(1) The lower your vitamin D level is，the higher your risk of death from any cause will be．However，it's not a great idea to just take a supplement （补品）off the drugstore shelf and start taking it．Since many of us have an inadequate amount vitamin D，also known as the sunshine vitamin" ，doctors will often give us high levels of D supplements，with closes ranging from 2，000 to 10，000 I（International Units）per day，up to 50，000 IU per week and sometimes even more．(2) Very big doses （剂量）of vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium （钙）in the blood，which leads to poor appetite，weakness，weight loss or other diseases．Here's the bigger issue；(3) A build-up of stored vitamin D can cause avoidable problems，leading to problems such as kidney （肾）stones．(4) The National Institutes of Health set the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin D at 600 IU daily for babies，children，and adults up to 70 years old．Adults aged 71 and older need 800 IU，since the ability to absorb vitamin D drops with age．Because the fat cells take vitamin D up，making it less available for use by the body，(5)Though you'll get a bit of vitamin D from foods - including fatty fish，beef liver，cheese，milk and so on - the amounts are so small that there's little need to worry that they'll put you ，over the daily dose．A．It can help prevent many diseases．B．We can actually reduce the risk of death．C．people who are fat may also need more vitamin D．D．any extra intake of vitamin D can get stored in the body．E．But like all good things，it's possible to get too much of it．F．The average daily recommended amounts vary based on your age．G．Vitamin D should be supplemented carefully despite its importance．16.

Which of the following statements is TRUE about the tour？______A. Tour guide services are provided．B. Falkland Palace is open in December．C. The tour lasts for two days．D.

The tour is made more appealing by ______ ．A. offering different travel optionsB. presenting the good comments from customersC. showing comparisons withother toursD. giving special offers to all customersAlbert Einstein was an extraordinary physicist，but no artist．Pablo Picasso could paint anything，but he had no talent for science．Lionel Messi is great at soccer，but nobody talks about his singing ability．This specialization of talent may seem normal，but it may be a modern phenomenon．In English，we have a term for people with broad knowledge and skills："Renaissance man （or woman）"．It refers to the European Renaissance，a time when it became common to study a wide range of subjects．This led to complex works of art，invention and philosophy that transformed European culture．The classic Renaissance man was undoubtedly Leonardo da Vinci，who died 500 years ago．Even today，he is regarded as one of the great creative minds of the Italian Renaissance．"He was hugely influential as an artist and sculptor but also greatly talented as an engineer，scientist and inventor，" says the BBC．At 14，Da Vinci became an apprentice （学徒）of the popular sculptor and goldsmith Andrea del Verrocchio．Young Leonardo learned how to draw and paint in his workshop，but he was also introduced to chemistry，metallurgy and carpentry．He acquired so many skills that it became natural for him to try new things．The man who would design a flying machine and a military tank set his life course during these early years．It is interesting to note that his skills as a draftsman （画师）were important in both his artistic and his scientific activities．For instance，he made marvelously detailed drawings of moving water，but not really for artistic reasons．As TheConversation notes，Da Vinci wanted to learn about moving water so he could benefit people．For this purpose，he eventually drew up plans for canals．Da Vinci was also fascinated by anatomy （解剖学）．He dissected （切开）bodies and drew detailed pictures of what he saw．These drawings anticipated the future of scientific medicine．Apart from his scientific drawings，Da Vinci had a genius for painting lifelike images of people．Even today，this ability stands out in works like the Mona Lisa （1503）．With her famous smile，we recognize her as a flesh-and-blood human like ourselves．The best epitaph （碑文）for Da Vinci may be his own words："Learning never exhausts the mind．" His numerous projects over 67 years make it clear that his mind was never exhausted．Five centuries after his death，his life and work inspire would-be Renaissance men and women everywhere．5. "Renaissance man" is mentioned mainly to ______ ．A. show that people in the past were less talentedB. compare the great minds of the RenaissanceC. introduce Da Vinci as a representativeD. show how Da Vinci created the world6. What do we know about Da Vinci？______A. He learned anatomy in his childhood．B. He designed a military tank in his later years．C. He invented 67 things in his lifetime．D. His drawings were both artistic and scientific．7. Which of the following best describes Da Vinci？______A. Hardworking and humorous．B. Knowledgeable and creative．C. Imaginative and easygoing．D. Open-minded and generous．8. How would the author probably describe Da Vinci's painting style？______A. Realistic．B. Mysterious．C. Abstract．D. Modern．One cold December morning in 2017，I boarded a bus with my four large bags at Chandigarh，where I'd been working．I was headed home to Rampur Bushahr，Himachal Pradesh．A few hours into the journey a well-dressed young man got in at Shimla and took the seat next to mine．I was very cautious．I'd often come across men eager to chat up a girl traveling on her own．So I wasn't surprised when he spoke up．"Where are you going？" he asked．"Rampur，" I replied and put on my earphones．He didn't bother me after that．It started to rain and water was dripping through the roof right on to my lap．Seeing that，the man emptied a plastic shopping bag full of clothes，which he pushed into his travel bag．He then handed me the plastic bag．I accepted it with a sheepish "thanks" before spreading it on my lap．Minutes later，the bus broke down! The conductor announced we'd have to move to another bus that would reach us shortly，and that there'd be no more buses after that，since there had been heavy snowfall near Shimla．My co-passengers got off and stood on the road，ready to rush into the next bus．The conductor reluctantly helped me offload my luggage．When the bus finally arrived，it had many passengers already．The crowd struggled to get in and I was pushed aside．As I stood there feeling very upset，I saw a hand waving out to me from the entrance to the bus．It was the same young man．He stood there blocking the doorway．I passed my bags to him and he placed them inside one by one，as if we were family traveling together．Hethen gently helped me in．I soon got pushed to the middle of the bus，where I stood for the next two hours．As we approached Rampur，I craned my neck to look for him - I knew he had been standing right in front．He was not there，and I badly wanted to talk to him．He must have got off at an earlier stop without letting me know．Why would he？He'd done what he had to．I was the one who couldn't apologize for my attitude or thank him．9. At first，the author assumed the young man was trying to ______ ．A. steal her belongingsB. seek herhelpC. make small talkwith herD. lend hishand10. Why did the man empty one of his plastic shopping bags？______A. To find a coat for the author to get changed into．B. To cover the window and prevent the rain from coming in．C. To remove his clothes from inside it and put them into his travel bag．D. To help the author to keep out of the rain．11. How is the article mainly developed？______A. By cause and effect．B. Bycomparison．C. By timeorder．D. Byexamples．Every year，millions of people make the same New Year's resolution（决心）：to lose weight．But there's a problem that requires as much resolution to change as weight：the societal prejudice surrounding weight and obesity．For decades，researchers have documented negative attitudes toward overweight people - a form of prejudice known as "weight bias （偏见）．" People with obesity are commonly viewed as lazy，unintelligent，unattractive，and lacking willpower and self-control．Weight - based discrimination is found in educational，employment and health care settings，yet minimal legal protection exists for those who are targeted．In addition to experiencing weight bias from others，people with obesity tend to accept weight-biased beliefs，leading to lower self-worth．Some people argue that bitter messages about weight are necessary to motivate those with obesity to take responsibility for their health and lose weight．After all，critics say，it's their own fault that they are "fat，" and，if they really wanted to，they could control their weight．In this view，promoting body acceptance would only weaken behavior change and encourage obesity．studies showing the negative health effects associated with experiencing and accepting weight-biased beliefs．The psychological effect of being undervalued due to one's weight may not seem surprising：increased risk for depression，anxiety，and even self-harming thoughts and attempts in youth．Also worth noting are the effects of weight bias on weight gain andobesity-related health．Studies show that weight bias is stressful，and when people are under stress，they tend to eat more．Further，when people worryabout being judged due to their weight ， they avoid fitness and health care setting ．In the coming year ， whether or not weight loss is a goal ， we can all make efforts to get rid of weight bias and be a little kinder to ourselves and others ．12. What do we know about obese people ？ ______A. They are fond of makingresolutions ．B. They are lacking in self-control ．C. They care little about others'opinions ． D. They tend to undervalue themselves ．13. Why do some people support bitter messages about weight ？ ______A. They can encourage obese people to lose weight ．B. They can improve self-worth in obese people ．C. They can promote bodyacceptance ． D. They can relieve depression ．14. What does the underlined part "flies in the face of" in Paragraph 4 mean ？ ______A. Confirms ． B . Copies ． C . Splits up ． D . Goes against ．15. What can be the best title for the text ？ ______A.

Eat your own way regardless of others' thoughts二、阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共10.0分)Cute animals and babies attract our attention and make us want to take care of them，which gives them an evolutionary advantage，according to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz．features make us want to take care of them so they can grow up healthily and pass their genes on to the next generation．Looking at baby animals and cartoon characters also causes these feelings．Childlike characteristics make babies sweet and lead us to build close ties withhuman wobbles （摇摇摆摆）a bit when walking，that can make them seem even cuter．Of course，we don't raise baby animals the same way we raise human babies，popular this way，and baby animals are more likely to be cared for properly．Think about some of the things that you find cute，and you're likely to see that they have some of the same characteristics as a human baby．A．The science behind cuteness is still unclear．B．The answer is that they all look cute．C．This even works when we see things that remind us of a baby．D．A large round head，large eyes，and soft skin are just some of these features．E．However，babies get less cute as they get older．F．Human babies are a good example．G．But their cuteness does make us like them and want to take care of them．16.

英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AIt's 3008．You have a job，a family and you're about 40 years old! Welcome to your future life．Getting ready for work，you pause in front of the mirror．"Turn red，" you say．Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red．Tiny preprogrammed electrons are rearranged in your shirt to change its color．Looking into the mirror，you find it hard to believe that you are 40．You look much younger．With amazing advances in medicine，people in your generation may live to be 150 years old．You are not even middle-aged．As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl，you hear："To lose weight，you shouldn't eat that，"from your shoes．They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details．You decide to listen to your shoes．"Kitchen，what can I have for breakfast？" A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies．"Ready for your trip to space．" You ask your son and daughter．In 2017 only specially trained astronauts went into space-and very few of them．Today anyone can go to space for day trip or longer vacation．Your best friend even works in space．Handing your children three strawberries each，you add，"The doctor said you need these for space travel．" Thanks to medical advice，vaccination shots are a thing of the past．Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines（疫苗）．With the berries in their mouths，the kids head for the front door．It's time for you to go to work．Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors．"My office，autopilot．" You command．Your car drives itself down the road and move smoothly into traffic on the highway．You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper．The latest news downloads and fills the viewer．Looking through the pages，you watch the news as video films rather than read it．1.The passage above is organized in order of ______ ．A. frequencyB. importanceC. preferenceD. time2.______ transforms the color of your clothing into another in 3008．A.

A nature education center．B. A nest．C. An outdoor picnic area．D. A soccer field．6.What do we know about oiled birds？______A. They are being cared for by volunteers．B. They are probably water birds．C.

Ray wants to build a 100-foot-long nestB. about 350 birds are injured every year in San FranciscoC. birds are most easily injured animals in San FranciscoD. Ray is the founder of the Board of SupervisorsCGrowers around the world are using new methods to grow grapes to make wine．They use natural and organic methods to control harmful insects and weeds instead of using chemicals．Now，a winery in Canada has adopted a natural way to control its grapevines（葡萄藤）．The Featherstone Winery is in southern Ontario．The grapevines，like other plants，need to be cut every year．Cutting grapevines must be done very carefully．Only a targeted area of leaves is removed from the lower part of the vines to help the grapes grow better．But at the Featherstone Winery，no man or machine does the cutting．Instead，the job is done by 40 little wooly lambs．David Johnson owns the vineyard．He says he learned about using lambs while visiting wineries in New Zealand．The young lambs are perfectly designed to do the job．They eat the grape leaves on the lower parts of the vine．But they are not tall enough to reach the grapes．They only weigh about 22 kilograms，so they do not beat down the soil．And their waste makes good organic fertilizer．Inaddition，using the lambs costs much less than hiring workers to cut the vines for seven weeks in summer．And when the cutting is done in August，the lambs become tasty dishes．Mr．Johnson says he had a difficult time finding enough lambs to do the job．There are about 50 million lambs in New Zealand．But there are not nearly as many in Ontario．Also，some organic pesticides（杀虫剂）are harmful to lambs．And the lambs must be watched to make sure they do not eat too much of the grapevines．David Johnson says the lambs help him carry out his environmental ideas about farming．They are lovely and peaceful and he likes having them in his vineyard．People visiting the vineyard also enjoy watching the lambs do their job．9.In order to help the grapes grow better，growers ______ ．A. only have to remove the dead leavesB. need to remove a specific area of leavesC. shouldn't remove any part of the plantsD. should let little lambs do the cutting10.Which of the following statements about using lambs to do the cutting is not right？______A. Using lambs costs more than hiring workers．B. Lambs won't eat the grapes．C. David Johnson learned this way in New Zealand．D. Lambs can be eaten after the cutting is done．11.Paragraph 4 is mainly about ______ ．A. the future of getting lambs to do the cuttingB. the worries about using organic pesticidesC. the ways to get lambs to do the cuttingD. the problems related to lambs doing the cutting12.We can infer from the passage that David Johnson ______ ．A. owns several wineries in CanadaB. buys lambs from New ZealandC. is concerned about protecting the circumstanceD. loves keeping lambs instead of farmingDThere is no better word than "unbelievable" to describe Indian sports film Dangal's huge box-office （票房）achievement in the Chinese mainland．Path to successDangal's box-office performance in China has gone against all market rules．While box-office earnings usually tend to decline the longer a film is screened in theaters，Dangal's box-office goes up nearly three times during its second weekend．On Wednesday，Dangal has made 830.94 million yuan，making it the eighth highest-earning 2017 film in the Chinese mainland so far．Dangal is now the second highest-earning Indian film in China．According to the statistics on Maoyan，a Chinese online film database，58.2 percent of mainland moviegoers nationwide who are interested in seeing the film are women．This percentage increases to 59.1 percent in third-tier（三线）cities and 60.2 percent in fourth-tier cities．Looking at age，moviegoers between 20-24 account for the largest group who want to see the film nationwide at 33.4 percent，followed by 25-29 years old at 29.4 percent．Secret for successWhile the secret for a good film has many ingredients，response of the audience is a key factor．Dangal，a story about a father training his daughters to become wrestling champions in a male-dominated society，has reached the heart of Chinese audiences，especially women，many of whom feel that women are often not treated equally as men．Shui Wujiao，a netizen，wrote that she was very impressed when the father pointed out that Geeta，the oldest daughter，was not only fighting for herself，but also for the millions of girls who are forced into marriages because they are less respectful than boys by society．There are similarities such as the parent-child relationship，the pressure one has to bear when growing up，as well as similar family and social values．The preference for boys over girls is still deeply rooted among many Chinese，especially in remote areas．Learning idolDangal's inspirational story has also led to many teachers and parents using the film as motivational aids．Ying Junzi，a Chinese film critic，posted that he thinks the film's motivational message is another factor that has helped Dangal achieve the box-office success．"For many Chinese parents who pay close attention to their child's education，the film has become an educational bible for encouraging their children to study even harder，" he wrote．"Chinese parents are willing to do anything for their children's education．When they hear from relatives and friends that there is a good film that can motivate their children to perform better，they will definitely rush to the theaters with their kids．It's become a family film，" Ying Junzi added．13.The passage is mainly about ______ ．A. success of a personB. a film from IndiaC. famous people in ChinaD. money made by families14.Based on the text we can hardly conclude that ______ ．A. it's amazing that Dangal is popular in ChinaB. there exist similarities between China and IndiaC. women in their twenties from less developed cities might be more interested in DangalD. women are often not treated equally as men only in China15.The underlined part "an educational bible" possibly refers to ______ ．A. a religious bookB. a motivational aidC. a family filmD. an educator from schools二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）You can get a lot from being healthy．Everyone needs to take time to exercise．(1) Here are some tips on how to make better use of your free time while staying healthy．(2) Make sure that your joints （关节）and body organs are kept in good working order．Exercise can also help keep your weight at a healthy level and can protect you from catching coughs and colds．Other benefits are an increase in your energy level and brain activity．Knowing that you're looking and feeling good can also increase your self-confidence．If you're under 18，you should try to do a total of 60 minutes of physical activity every day．This includes anything from taking the lift at the gym to walking up stairs．(3)Getting fit isn't all about gyms - some forms of exercise won't cost you any money，and most forms can be easily used in your busy life without taking some special time in your day．(4)(5) Playing team sports like football，or basketball is great exercise，and it is often more enjoyable because you're playing with a group of friends．A．Any grown-up needs at least half an hour of exercise at least five days a week．B．Don't do exercise if you are busy．C．For example，riding a bike to school or work can improve your fitness level．D．There are lots of ways to improve your health．E．Getting fit isn't just something you have to do by yourself．F．One should try to save money for joining a gym．G．Keeping physically active is beneficial．16.

Roosevelt Fireplace CabinsBGrowing up，I thought math class was something to be endured，not enjoyed．I disliked memorizing formulas （公式）and taking tests，all for the dull goal of getting a good grade．One of my teachers told my mother that I was "slow"．But my problem wasn't with math itself．In fact，when a topic seemed particularly interesting，I would go to the library and read more about it．By high school，no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician．What I wanted to do then was to play college football．My ambition was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school．The chances of that happening were very low．But that didn't stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal，and preparing and pushing me to work for it．They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country．In the end，a Big Ten school，Penn State，did offer me a scholarship．I wish math teachers were more like football coaches．Students are affected by more than just the quality of a lesson plan．They also respond to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers，and they seek a sense of purpose．They benefit from specific instructions and constant feedback（反馈）．Until I got to college，I didn't really know what mathematics was．I still thought of it as laborious（耗时费力的）calculations．Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I think about a particular problem．It wasn't easy，but it was fascinating．My professor kept giving me problems，and I kept pursuing them，even though I couldn't always solve them immediately．The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms．Instead，it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy．It gave me that same sense of wonder and curiosity，and it rewarded creativity．I am now a Ph．D candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology．4.Why did the writer think math class in school was "something to be endured" before entering college？A. Because he wasn't interested in math．B. Because his math teachers didn't care to push him．C. Because he was too smart and talented for math class．D. Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship．5.According to the writer，students are affected by the following things from teachers orcoaches EXCEPT______ ．A. a sense of purposeB. constant feedbackC. passionD. specific instructions6.We can conclude that after entering college，the writer ______ ．A. was busy looking for math problems to solveB. studied on his own just as he was in high schoolC. met with laborious calculations in his studiesD. began to realize what mathematics really is7.What is the best title for the text？A. Interest is the best teacherB. Be the best-you can make itC. Math，taught like footballD. Once your teacher，always your teacherCYou have probably read about robots replacing human labor as a new era of automation takes root in one industry after another．But a new report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs．In New Zealand，farmers are using drones（无人机）to herd and monitor cows and sheep，taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century．The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely，Radio New Zealand reports，but they have appropriated（盗用）one of the animal's most powerful tools：barking．The DJI Mavic Enterprise，a ﹩3，500 drone favored by farmers，has a feature that lets the machine recordsounds and play them over a loudspeaker，giving the machine the ability to act as the dogs．Corey Lambeth，a shepherd on a farm，told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective．"That's the one thingI've noticed when you're moving cows that the old cows stand up to the dogs，but with the drones，they've never done that，" he said，noting the drones move cows faster，with less stress，than the dogs do．The drones come in handy for more than just herding（放牧）cows and sheep．The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar，monitoring water and feed levels and checking on the animals' health without disturbing them．Jason Rentoul told RNZ that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone．"Being a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done on foot，the drones really saved a lot of man hours，" he said．For now，farmers say，there is still a need for herding dogs，primarily because they have a longer life span than drones，can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge．8.What is the main advantage of the drones over herding dogs？______A. The drones can take up a job that the dogs hardly do well any longer．B. The drones can frighten the old cows which are not afraid of the dogs．C. The drones can finish a herding job more efficiently than the dogs．D. The drones can work on a hilly farm and extreme weather while the dogs can't．9.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？______A. Herding dogs will gradually lose their position on the farmland．B. The drones can only copy the dogs' barking with the current technology．C. The drones are multi-functional and leave the animals undisturbed．D. The market for the DJI Mavic Enterprise is pretty small because of its high price．10.According to the passage，why can't the drones replace the dogs entirely？______A. Because the drones can't bark as loudly as the dogs do．B. Because cows are not used to seeing the drones．C. Because the drones are much more expensive than the animal．D. Because the drones' power is limited and they need charging from time to time．11.Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowards the drones in the passage？______A. supportiveB. objectiveC. criticalD. doubtfulDRecently I rolled into a local restaurant to try an Impossible Burger，an all-plant patty（人造肉饼）invented by Impossible Foods．It's well known for having an strangely chewy（有咀嚼感），even bloody，meat-like quality，a surprising verisimilitude（逼真）that has made it "perhaps the country's most famous burger，" as New York magazine wrote．One bite into its wonderful，smoky taste and，damn，I was convinced．This is good news，because the time has come to consume fake meat．In the fight against climate change，meat replacement is something we can try．A University of Oxford study recently found that，to keep global warming below 2 degrees this century，we need to be eating 75 percent less beef and 90 percent less pork．However，diets are culturally enshrined，so changing them will be hard．It isn't easy to replace 75 to 90 percent of beef and pork with fake meat．The first taste of an Impossible Burger-a moment when low expectations work a powerful magic in the product's favor-is one thing．But how do you keep meat-eaters asking for more after their sixth，and their 26th？To get to true mass adoption，fake meat will need to compete favorably with the real thing on multiple fronts．Impossible Foods' goal is to drive the price of its product below that of Safeway's 80/20 hamburger meat，at which point people will simply vote with their wallets．The new industry also wants to improve on animal flesh in various ways．Fake meat has an advantage over traditional meat because "you won't need to refrigerate it" cofounder Niko Koffeman says．Plus，custom（定制的）production could improve choice．"You could have very soft and tender meat for elderly people，" Koffeman adds．"You could have a tailored meat for whatever you need．"You can tell the world is shifting this way，because the ranchers（牧场主）are nervous．Last year，the US Cattlemen's Association asked the government to define "meat" as a product "coming directly from animals．" That anxiety-and the power of the science driving it-goes to show that this grand shift isn't impossible．12.According to passage，the author was convinced by the Impossible Burger because ______ ．A. it has a special taste that is different from normal ones．B. it contains all non-meat materials that taste like meat．C. more vegetables are used as main materials for the burger．D. one bite of this burger can provide people with the energy needed for a whole day．13.What does the author mean by saying "Diets are culturally enshrined"？A. That people think their diet is the best in the world．B. That people are unwilling to go against their culture by changing their diets．C. That people's preference for food is linked to the food choice available to them．D. That people's eating habits are consistently observed and closely connected with their culture．14.Which of the following statements is true about the advantages that fake meat will have to beat over traditionalmeat？A. Fake meat will not be necessarily stored in a refrigerator．B. The price of fake meat will be just one-fourth of traditional meat's．C. Fake meat will win over older people thanks to its tender and soft taste．D. Fake meat will own a taste that is not found in traditional meat．15.What can we infer from the last paragraph？A. Meat must come from animals．B. The world will probably embrace the idea of fake meat．C. The ranchers are suffering economic loss due to fake meat．D. The definition of meat has been changed because of fake meat．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting？Certainly，it is a new experience，which brings the opportunity of discovering fascinating things and a feeling of freedom．(1) You will experience culture shock．Evidently，at least four essential stages of culture-shock adjustment occur．The first stage is called "the honeymoon"．In this stage，you feel excitement about living in a different place，and everything seems to be marvelous．(2)Eventually，however，the second stage of culture shock appears．This is the "hostility stage"．(3) You become tired of many things about the new culture．Moreover，people don't treat you like a guest anymore．Everything that seemed to be so wonderful at first is now awful，and everything makes you feel distressed and tired．Then you come to the third stage called "recovery"．You start feeling more positive，and you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand．The whole situation starts to become more favorable．(4) The last stage of culture shock is called "adjustment"．(5) The things that initially made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand．Now you feel comfortable；you have adjusted to the new culture．A．Actually，culture shock is something you cannot avoid when studying in a foreign country．B．You have reached a point where you feel good because you have learned enough to understand the new culture．C．You like everything，and everybody seems to be so nice to you．D．You recover from the symptoms of the first two stages．E．In spite of these advantages，however，there are also some challenges you will encounter．F．However，when you have completely adjusted to a new culture you can more fully enjoy it．G．You begin to notice that not everything is as good as you had originally thought it was．16.

Interest is the best teacherB. Be the best-you can make itC. Math，taught like footballD. Once your teacher，always your teacherCYou have probably read about robots replacing human labor as a new era of automation takes root in one industry after another．But a new report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs．In New Zealand，farmers are using drones（无人机）to herd and monitor cows and sheep，taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century．The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely，Radio New Zealand reports，but they have appropriated（盗用）oneof the animal's most powerful tools：barking．The DJI Mavic Enterprise，a ﹩3，500 drone favoredby farmers，has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and play them over a loudspeaker，giving the machine the ability to act as the dogs．Corey Lambeth，a shepherd on a farm，told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective．"That's the one thing I've noticed when you're moving cows that the old cows stand up to the dogs，but with the drones，they've never done that，" he said，noting the drones move cows faster，with less stress，than the dogs do．The drones come in handy for more than just herding（放牧）cows and sheep．The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar，monitoring water and feed levels and checking on the animals' health without disturbing them．Jason Rentoul told RNZ that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone．"Being a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done on foot，the drones really saved a lot of man hours，" he said．For now，farmers say，there is still a need for herding dogs，primarily because they have a longer life span than drones，can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge．8.What is the main advantage of the drones over herding dogs？______A. The drones can take up a job that the dogs hardly do well any longer．B. The drones can frighten the old cows which are not afraid of the dogs．C. The drones can finish a herding job more efficiently than the dogs．D. The drones can work on a hilly farm and extreme weather while the dogs can't．9.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？______A. Herding dogs will gradually lose their position on the farmland．B. The drones can only copy the dogs' barking with the current technology．C. The drones are multi-functional and leave the animals undisturbed．D. The market for the DJI Mavic Enterprise is pretty small because of its high price．10.According to the passage，why can't the drones replace the dogs entirely？______A. Because the drones can't bark as loudly as the dogs do．B. Because cows are not used to seeing the drones．C. Because the drones are much more expensive than the animal．D. Because the drones' power is limited and they need charging from time to time．11.Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowards the drones in the passage？______A. supportiveB. objectiveC. criticalD. doubtfulDRecently I rolled into a local restaurant to try an Impossible Burger，an all-plant patty（人造肉饼）invented by Impossible Foods．It's well known for having an strangely chewy（有咀嚼感），even bloody，meat-like quality，a surprising verisimilitude（逼真）that has made it "perhaps the country's most famous burger，" as New York magazine wrote．One bite into its wonderful，smoky taste and，damn，I was convinced．This is good news，because the time has come to consume fake meat．In the fight against climate change，meat replacement is something we can try．A University of Oxford study recently found that，to keep global warming below 2 degrees this century，we need to be eating 75 percent less beef and 90 percent less pork．However，diets are culturally enshrined，so changing them will be hard．It isn't easy to replace 75 to 90 percent of beef and pork with fake meat．The first taste of an Impossible Burger-a moment when low expectations work a powerful magic in the product's favor-is one thing．But how do you keep meat-eaters asking for more after their sixth，and their 26th？To get to true mass adoption，fake meat will need to compete favorably with the real thing on multiple fronts．Impossible Foods' goal is to drive the price of its product below that of Safeway's 80/20 hamburger meat，at which point people will simply vote with their wallets．The new industry also wants to improve on animal flesh in various ways．Fake meat has an advantage over traditional meat because "you won't need to refrigerate it" cofounder Niko Koffeman says．Plus，custom（定制的）production could improve choice．"You could have very soft and tender meat for elderly people，" Koffeman adds．"You could have a tailored meat for whatever you need．" You can tell the world is shifting this way，because the ranchers（牧场主）are nervous．Last year，the US Cattlemen's Association asked the government to define "meat" as a product "coming directly from animals．" That anxiety-and the power of the science driving it-goes to show that this grand shift isn't impossible．12.According to passage，the author was convinced by the Impossible Burger because ______ ．A. it has a special taste that is different from normal ones．B. it contains all non-meat materials that taste like meat．C. more vegetables are used as main materials for the burger．D. one bite of this burger can provide people with the energy needed for a whole day．13.What does the author mean by saying "Diets are culturally enshrined"？A. That people think their diet is the best in the world．B. That people are unwilling to go against their culture by changing their diets．C. That people's preference for food is linked to the food choice available to them．D. That people's eating habits are consistently observed and closely connected with theirculture．14.Which of the following statements is true about the advantages that fake meat will have to beatover traditional meat？A. Fake meat will not be necessarily stored in a refrigerator．B. The price of fake meat will be just one-fourth of traditional meat's．C. Fake meat will win over older people thanks to its tender and soft taste．D. Fake meat will own a taste that is not found in traditional meat．15.What can we infer from the last paragraph？A. Meat must come from animals．B. The world will probably embrace the idea of fake meat．C. The ranchers are suffering economic loss due to fake meat．D. The definition of meat has been changed because of fake meat．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting？Certainly，it is a new experience，which brings the opportunity of discovering fascinating things and a feeling of freedom．(1) You will experience culture shock．Evidently，at least four essential stages of culture-shock adjustment occur．The first stage is called "the honeymoon"．In this stage，you feel excitement about living in a different place，and everything seems to be marvelous．(2)Eventually，however，the second stage of culture shock appears．This is the "hostility stage"．(3) You become tired of many things about the new culture．Moreover，people don't treat you like a guest anymore．Everything that seemed to be so wonderful at first is now awful，and everything makes you feel distressed and tired．Then you come to the third stage called "recovery"．You start feeling more positive，and you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand．The whole situation starts to become more favorable．(4)The last stage of culture shock is called "adjustment"．(5) The things that initially made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand．Now you feel comfortable；you have adjusted to the new culture．A．Actually，culture shock is something you cannot avoid when studying in a foreign country．B．You have reached a point where you feel good because you have learned enough to understand the new culture．C．You like everything，and everybody seems to be so nice to you．D．You recover from the symptoms of the first two stages．E．In spite of these advantages，however，there are also some challenges you will encounter．F．However，when you have completely adjusted to a new culture you can more fully enjoy it．G．You begin to notice that not everything is as good as you had originally thought it was．16.

Because the drones' power is limited and they need charging from time to time．11.Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowards the drones in the passage？______A. supportiveB. objectiveC. criticalD. doubtfulDRecently I rolled into a local restaurant to try an Impossible Burger，an all-plant patty（人造肉饼）invented by Impossible Foods．It's well known for having an strangely chewy（有咀嚼感），even bloody，meat-like quality，a surprising verisimilitude（逼真）that has made it "perhaps the country's most famous burger，" as New York magazine wrote．One bite into its wonderful，smoky taste and，damn，I was convinced．This is good news，because the time has come to consume fake meat．In the fight against climate change，meat replacement is something we can try．A University of Oxford study recently found that，to keep global warming below 2 degrees this century，we need to be eating 75 percent less beef and 90 percent less pork．However，diets are culturally enshrined，so changing them will be hard．It isn't easy to replace 75 to 90 percent of beef and pork with fake meat．The first taste of an Impossible Burger-a moment when low expectations work a powerful magic in the product's favor-is one thing．But how do you keep meat-eaters asking for more after their sixth，and their 26th？To get to true mass adoption，fake meat will need to compete favorably with the real thing on multiple fronts．Impossible Foods' goal is to drive the price of its product below that of Safeway's 80/20 hamburger meat，at which point people will simply vote with their wallets．The new industry also wants to improve on animal flesh in various ways．Fake meat has an advantage over traditional meat because "you won't need to refrigerate it" cofounder Niko Koffeman says．Plus，custom（定制的）production could improve choice．"You could have very soft and tender meat for elderly people，" Koffeman adds．"You could have a tailored meat for whatever you need．" You can tell the world is shifting this way，because the ranchers（牧场主）are nervous．Last year，the US Cattlemen's Association asked the government to define "meat" as a product "coming directly from animals．" That anxiety-and the power of the science driving it-goes to show that this grand shift isn't impossible．12.According to passage，the author was convinced by the Impossible Burger because ______ ．A. it has a special taste that is different from normal ones．B. it contains all non-meat materials that taste like meat．C. more vegetables are used as main materials for the burger．D. one bite of this burger can provide people with the energy needed for a whole day．13.What does the author mean by saying "Diets are culturally enshrined"？A. That people think their diet is the best in the world．B. That people are unwilling to go against their culture by changing their diets．C. That people's preference for food is linked to the food choice available to them．D. That people's eating habits are consistently observed and closely connected with theirculture．14.Which of the following statements is true about the advantages that fake meat will have to beatover traditional meat？A. Fake meat will not be necessarily stored in a refrigerator．B. The price of fake meat will be just one-fourth of traditional meat's．C. Fake meat will win over older people thanks to its tender and soft taste．D. Fake meat will own a taste that is not found in traditional meat．15.What can we infer from the last paragraph？A. Meat must come from animals．B. The world will probably embrace the idea of fake meat．C. The ranchers are suffering economic loss due to fake meat．D. The definition of meat has been changed because of fake meat．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting？Certainly，it is a new experience，which brings the opportunity of discovering fascinating things and a feeling of freedom．(1) You will experience culture shock．Evidently，at least four essential stages of culture-shock adjustment occur．The first stage is called "the honeymoon"．In this stage，you feel excitement about living in a different place，and everything seems to be marvelous．(2)Eventually，however，the second stage of culture shock appears．This is the "hostility stage"．(3) You become tired of many things about the new culture．Moreover，people don't treat you like a guest anymore．Everything that seemed to be so wonderful at first is now awful，and everything makes you feel distressed and tired．Then you come to the third stage called "recovery"．You start feeling more positive，and you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand．The whole situation starts to become more favorable．(4)The last stage of culture shock is called "adjustment"．(5) The things that initially made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand．Now you feel comfortable；you have adjusted to the new culture．A．Actually，culture shock is something you cannot avoid when studying in a foreign country．B．You have reached a point where you feel good because you have learned enough to understand the new culture．C．You like everything，and everybody seems to be so nice to you．D．You recover from the symptoms of the first two stages．E．In spite of these advantages，however，there are also some challenges you will encounter．F．However，when you have completely adjusted to a new culture you can more fully enjoy it．G．You begin to notice that not everything is as good as you had originally thought it was．16.

安徽省安庆市桐城市2020届高考英语模拟试卷含答案

英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AIn this age of Internet chat，videogames and reality television，there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied．Yet，despite the competition，my -year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories．She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest，a competition she won last year．As a writer I know about winning contests，and about losing them．I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher．I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories．What if she doesn't win the contest again ？That's the strange thing about being a parent．So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface．A revelation（启示）came last week when I asked her，" Don't you want to win again ？" No，" she replied，" I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade．"I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously（自发地）told them．Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall，I offered suggestions for characters，conflicts and endings for her tales．The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly "guided" by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson．I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it．Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks．Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade，I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting（借用）my daughter's experience．While stepping back was difficult for me，it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps，putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked．All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment，grow and find their own voices．1.What do we learn from the first paragraph？______A. A lot of distractions compete for children's time nowadays．B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities．C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time．D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing．2.What did the author say about her own writing experience？______A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more．B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers．C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer．D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations．3.Why did Rebecca want to enter this year's writing contest？______A. She had won a prize in the previous contest．B. She wanted to share her stories with readers．C. She was sure of winning with her mother's help．D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing．BSeveral months ago I decided it would be wise to investigate the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy，if for no other reason than because I understood it might be a good investment．I got the name of an insurance agent from a friend and called the agent to get some information．From the kinds of questions I put to him，the agent would tell that I knew nothing about insurance so he kindly offered to explore the matter with me in more detail．-to help me determine the kind of policy I ought to be considering．That evening he appeared at my door promptly at 7：30；without wasting time on amenities he spread his papers out on the kitchen table and launched into a lengthy explanation．I listened attentively as he talked about the difference between various types of policies，and he explained the kind of coverage he felt I ought to have because of my age bracket and financial objectives．Toward the end of the evening （after three or four hours of talking），he kindly helped me fill out an application for a 50，000 dollar policy，and then he asked if I could go to a Dr．Luther's office on Friday for a physical examination．I don't know why，but it was not until the mention of the doctor's appointment that I realized fully what was happening．I was about to sign a lifetime contract yet I had not really made a decision about whether I wanted to buy the policy or not．As a matter of fact，the question of the need for a decision from me one way or the other had not even come up．Suddenly I felt sure that I definitely did not want to buy the policy．However，since he had spent so much time with me，I didn't want to make him feel that he had wasted his time．So I invented an excuse about things I had to do on Friday，and I assured him I would call him in a few days．Actually，I had no intention of going to see Dr．Luther or of calling the agent again．I wanted to forget the whole thing．It's been over three months now since our meeting，and my friendly insurance agent still calls at my office faithfully two or three times a week．My secretary knows that I don't want to talk to him，so when he calls she tells him that I'm in a meeting or that I'm out of the office or that I'm away on a business trip．I realize now that it was a mistake not to tell him outright that I'm not interested，and please not to bother me any more，all I can do is to avoid his calls and hope I don't run into him someplace．4.The writer phoned the insurance agent because ______ ．A. He wanted to fill out an application for a life insurance policy．B. He had decided to buy a life insurance policy．C. He wanted to explore the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy．D. He took great interest in the insurance company．5.According to the passage，the agent was ______ ．A. an experienced salesmanB. kind but inexperiencedC. ineffectiveD. easy to deal with6.The writer didn't tell the agent the truth because ______ ．A. he was afraid of him．B. he felt embarrassed to do so．C. he thought it none of the agent's business．D. he didn't wish to lose the agents friendship．7.The writer realizes that ______ ．A. he should have told the truth to the agent earlier．B. he should buy the policy．C. the agent is a real friend．D. insurance is but swindle（骗局）CThe letter arrives from a school that your son told you is his dream school．You dare not open it，instead，you hand it to him when he arrives home from school．You watch as his eyes light up and you know this is the beginning of something．You are just not sure what．Your son insists that the coach must really want him since he took the time to write him a letter．Is this in fact true？Did he write other kids and if so how many？How would you know？The simple fact of the matter is that you can read very little into that first letter．Coaches cast a wide net in the first few stages of the recruiting（录取）cycle．That letter may in fact，be the first and last time your son ever hears from that particular coach．Think about it：if he has not seen your sons transcripts or his standardized test scores，if you have not visited the school，if he has no knowledge of your financial needs，can it be anything significant？So how do you treat these letters or emails？Is there some format you can apply？Say tor instance，three letters mean real interest…or three letters and a call means a greater degree of interest？My experience in deal with cases of various applications is that answers will not come automatically．Call the coach and find out how real the interest in fact is．"Is my son a top recruit in your mind？" "How many players at his position will you be recruiting this year？" By asking these simple and direct questions，you as a parent，will have established a dialogue and hopefully figured out how much interest，if any really exists．However，here comes the challenge．Applicants and parents are vague with coaches about their intention and level of interest all the time．In fact，the coach's situation is no less confusing than yours．He is fighting a similar battle on multiple choices．There is little clarity on either end．Enjoy that first letter．Let's hope it is one of many and let's hope you apply a bit of realism with a bit of wishful thinking about how happy your son should be when this is all over．8.How did the parent feel about the letter that his son got from his dreamed school？______A. expectantB. hesitantC. doubtfulD. hopeful9.According to the passage，by calling the coach，parents car ______ ．A. determine the level of interest from coachB. build up a communication with the coachC. identify the real intention of the coachD. understand more about the situation of the coach10.The author of the passage is most likely to be ______ ．A. a consultant to help students with their applicationB. a parent with similar experiencesC. a school authority that supervises the applicationD. a coach in charge of the application11.The purpose of the passage is to ______ ．A. remind parents of the importance of the first letter from coachesB. tell parents how to react to the first letter from coachesC. advise parents to ignore the first letter from coachesD. warn parents to be realistic towards the first letter from coachesDSince we are social beings，the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships．One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances．Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties．Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily difficulties．People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties．Studies over a range of illnesses，from depression to heart disease，show that the presence of social support helps people protect themselves from illness，and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely．Social support cushions stress in a number of ways．First，friends，relatives，and co-workers may let us know that they value us．Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties．Second，other people often provide us with informational support．They help us to explain and understand our problems and find solutions to them．Third，we typically find social companionship supportive．Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting（转移……注意力）us from our worries and troubles．Finally，other people may give us instrumental support-financial aid，material resources，and needed services-that reduces stress by helping us solve and deal with our problems．12.Research shows that people's physical and mental health has much to do with ______ ．A. the social medical systemB. the amount of support they get from othersC. their strength for dealing with interpersonal tiesD. their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles13.The underlined word "cushions" probably means" ______ "．A. adds up toB. lessens the effect ofC. does away withD. lays the foundation for14.Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of ______ ．A. important supportB. informational supportC. social activityD. the strengthening of self-respect15.Social companionship is beneficial in that ______ ．A. it helps strengthen our ties with relativesB. it enables us to get rid of our faults and mistakesC. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyableD. it draws our attention away from our worries and troubles二、单选题（本大题共30小题，共90.0分）16.It was a long time before the cut on my hand______

安徽省桐城市某中学2020届高三模拟考试英语试卷

英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AParents and kids today dress alike，listen to the same music，and are friends．Is this a good thing？Sometimes，when Mr．Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter，Elizabeth，listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy，such as pop culture．he remember his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager．"I would never have said to my mom，'Hey，the new Weezer album is really great．How do you like it？'"says Ballmer．"There was just a complete gap in taste．"Music was not the only gulf．From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits．Today，the generation gap has not disappeared，but it is getting narrow in many families．Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago．Now they are comfortable and common．And parent-child activities，from shopping to sports，involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood．No wonder greeting cards today carry the message，"To my mother，my best friend．"But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents．"There's still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there，but there is a change happening，"says Kerrie，a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College．"In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents．"Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes．They see the 1960s as a turning point．Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say．"My parents were on the‘before'side of that change，but today's parents，the 40-year-olds，were on the‘after'side，"explains Mr．Ballmer．"It's not something easily accomplished by parents these days，because life is more difficult to understand or deal with，but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now．"1.What can we learn about Mr．Ballmer in Paragraph 1 ？______A. He and Elizabeth both 1ike Weezer．B. He had different interests with his mom．C. He had a bad relationship with his mom．D. He liked talking about music with his mom．2.What does the underlined word"democratic"probably mean？______A. Equal．B. Peaceful．C. Active．D. Considerate．3.The passage is mainly about ______ ．A. the problems of parent-child relationshipB. the strategies for parent-child relationshipsC. the development of parent-child relationshipD. the ways for parents to handle parent-child problemsBOwning a lovable，cute pet can unquestionably make one's home life better and obviously，it can affect pet owners'professional lives as well．In fact，according to a new survey，people who have owned pets may be more professionally successful，and this is definitely good news for ambitious pet parents．The survey was conducted by Kelton Global Research for Banfield Pet Hospital，according to Fast Company．The researchers surveyed 857 adults in the United States with a variety of careers，as explained in the survey summary on Banfield's website．Among the C-suite executives（CEOs，etc．）surveyed，93 percent grew with a pet in their home，with 78 percent claiming that growing up with a pet helped cause their career suceess as an adult．Interestingly，83 percent of C-suite executives who participated said they grew up with a dog，59 percent of them said they grew up with a cat，and 37 percent of them said they grew up with another kind of pet．（You're correct these numbers do not add up．It would seem that many of the people interviewed grew up with multiple kinds of pets．）So，how exactly does pet ownership cause career success？Well，according to Banfield's research，executives reported that their pet helped teach them lessons like responsibility，creativity，empathy，discipline，and organization，which have all been valuable in the business world．But what about people who grew up pet-less，but have adopted pets as adults？Luckily for those，the survey showed that current pet ownership can also help with professional success．According to the research，86 percent of current pet parents surveyed said owning pets helps them stick to a routine，better manage their time，and multitask more efficiently．But even if you don't think your pet ham directly helped you，your coworkers'knowledge that yon have a pet may actually be beneficial for your career．In fact，80 percent of people surveyed said they"feel more connected to colleagues who are pet owners，"and 79 percent of those surveyed believe that fellow co-workers who have pets are"hard workers．"4.What do the figures in Paragraph 2 show？______A. There is a rising demand for pets．B. Owning pets can make for professional success．C. More and more CEOs become aware of pots'effects．D. Pets become commercialized among C-suite executives．5.What can we learn from this passage？______A. The research is based on people from many walks in the world．B. Keeping pets provides the most valuable lessons for career．C. Pet ownership hardly benefits those who keep pets as adults．D. People who own a pet tend to get along well with colleagues．6.What is the author's attitude toward keeping a pet？______A. Indifferent．B. Critical．C. Objective．D. Concerned．CSome 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 the day-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 bean 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 Note8 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 twoyears．"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!7.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．8.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．9.What mainly contributed to Sarah Blakely's success？______A. Her friends'help．B. Her will power．C. Her good luck．D. Her education background．10.How does the author develop the passage？______A. By making contrast．B. By making classification．C. By giving examples．D. By giving numbers．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Imagine you receive an e-mail that looks something like this：ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY？How does reading this message make you feel？Was he or she angry or did that person just forget to turn off the 'Caps Lock'on the computer？The fact is that this e-mail"sounds"like the writer is shouting because using all capital letters in an e-mail is usually the way that people shout online．Knowing when to and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette （规矩）often called netiquette．(1) Following are some of her suggestions．First always remember that you are sending messages to a real person not just to a computer．Don't type anything that you wouldn't say to someone's face．(2) So make sure your meaning is clear．Don't do anything online that you wouldn't do in real life．Don't take anything without paying for it unless it's free．Don't read other people's e-mail-you wouldn't you're your next-door neighbor's mailbox and open their mail right？And do share your knowledge of the Internet with others．(3) (4) Good writing skills as well as correct grammar and spelling do matter．Send polite well-written e-mail messages to others．If you're uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrase to use，look it up．There are lots of helpful books and websites．It's okay to express your opinions online in forums like chat rooms or message boards for example"MSN"or"QQ"but don't start arguments with people．(5) But they are often unfair to other members of the group．Express your ideas but remember that fighting on or offline is just not right．A．Remember you're not the only one online．B．"Flame wars"in online discussion can be interesting to read．C．Try to respect others，such as their space，privacy，and feelings．D．It's a big place with lots of information and there fire many flew things to discover．E．Remember that people judge you by your words and your actions，so do try to white wall．F．Also remember that he cannot hear the tone of your voice or see the expressive on your face．G．Virginia Shea's book Netiquette lists a basic set of dos and don'ts for communicating rightly with others online．11.

2020届安徽省安庆市桐城市高三下学期考试英语试卷

2020届安徽省安庆市桐城市高三下学期月考英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题，共20.0分)FIRE plays an important role in maintaining woodland ecosystems but fire introduced to undergrowth too often destroys too much； as humans remain the leading cause of wildfire， the responsibility to minimize the damage done falls on our shoulders． Here are four man-made fires that highlight the mission to fight fire and help to replant the world's forests to counter the effects of deforestation．Heilongjiang Fire-China， 1987One of the largest fires ever to occur in history， the Heilongiiang Fire devoured three million acres of forest in the Greater Khingan Range． Reports attributed the fire's easy spread to dry conditions in the area-but it was excessive logging activity without any effort to let the forest regrow that really let it rage unhindered． 34，000 soldiers were deployed to put the fire out， and 33，000 people were left homeless．Wallow Fire-USA， 2011Still the largest wildfire in Arizona's history， Wallow got its name when two men accidentally started it while camping in the Bear Wallow Wilderness． Their campfire blew out of control and burned through over half a million acres of land， costing ＄72 million to extinguish， anda further ＄37 million to clean up and rebuild after the damage． Morethan 6，000 people had to be evacuated．Uttarakhand fires-India， 2016Throughout the year， man-made fires plagued the pine forests of the Uttarakhand Region． Widespread media coverage eventually spurred the government on to intervene， sending Indian Air Force helicopters to put them out． It's suspected that these increased numbers could be the result of honey or seed collectors trying to frighten off animals．Brandenburg Fire-Germany， 2018Largely thanks to longer， dryer summers than usual-the forested area of Brandenburg， Germany， caught alight． Results of investigation suggested that evidence pointed to arson （纵火）． Brandenburg lost nearly 1，000 acres of its forested land and three nearby villages had to be evacuated． A choking， smoky haze drifted twelve miles to Berlin，causing residents to have to shut themselves in their home．1. The underlined word "devoured" in the second paragraph has theclosest meaning to ______ ．A. detestedB. destroyedC. detachedD. detained2. Which of the following is true about the four fires ？ ______A. The dry condition of the Greater Khingan Range was mainlyresponsible for the rage of Heilongjiang Fire ．B. A total of ＄109 million was poured in putting out the Wallow Fire alone ．C. Uttarakhand fires claimed so many lives that Air Force helicopters came to the rescue ．D. The evidence suggested that the Brandenburg Fire might be caused by someone deliberately ．3. The most suitable title for this passage might be ______ ．A. hot weather setting the globe on fireB. forest blazes caused by human handsC. forest fires consuming peopleand money D. uncontained forest fires raging worldwide"You can use me as a last resort （选择）， and if nobody else volunteers ， then I will do it ．" This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse （长曲棍球） club ． I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule ， or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport ． She may just need a little persuading ． So I try again and tug at the heartstrings ． I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on …At this point the unwilling parent speaks up ， "Alright ． Yes ， I'll do it ．"I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many ． The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule ， sends out emails ， and collects money forend-of-season gifts ． Somewhere along the way ， the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team ． The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season ． Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal ．Still ， most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the seasoncomes to a close． That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more： Connecting to the community（社区） as you freely give your time， money， skills， or services provides a real joy． Volunteering just feels so good．In that sense， I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit．However， if others benefit in the process， and I get some reward too，does it really matter where my motivation lies？4. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l？______A. She is stressed as a single mother．B. She doesn't like playing the lacrosse．C. Volunteering is not in her list．D. Her schedule is too demanding．5. What is the aim when the author mentions some examples in the second paragraph ？ ______A. The author wants to praise the volunteers．B. The author wants to persuade the parent．C. The author wants to promote good deeds．D. The author wants to offer some advice．6. Why do so many people keep doing the volunteer work？ ______A. It gives then a sense of joy．B. It brings them financial benefits．C. It enables them to work hard．D. It helps them keep energetic．In the animal kingdom， weakness can bring about aggression in other animals． This sometimes happens with humans also． But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people． I see it every day when people hold doors for me， pour cream into my coffee， or helpme to put on my coat． And I have discovered that it makes them happy．From my wheelchair experience， I see the best in people， but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily． They don't get to see this soft side of others． Often， we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness， which includes a lot of pretending． But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them．Last month， when I was driving home on a busy highway， I began to feelunwell and drove more slowly than usual． People behind me began to get impatient and angry， with some speeding up alongside me， horning （按喇叭）or even shouting at me． At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving． I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights， I was saying to other drivers， "I have a problem here． I am weak and doing the best I can． And everyone understood． Several times， I saw drivers who wanted to pass． They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic． But instead of getting impatient and angry， they waited， knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak．Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way． But those are few and far between． More often，it would be better if we don't， pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared．7. Why did the author put on the car flashlights？ ______A. He signaled to other drivers for help．B. He wanted to challenge other drivers．C. He wanted to have a better view of the road．D. He was suggesting that he had a problem．8. What is the best title of the passage？ ______A. Weakness sometimes brings out kindness．B. Always be ready to help others．C. We kness reduces our bravery．D. Never show your weakness．There's more fresh water hidden below Earth's surface in underground aquifers （含水层） than any other source besides the ice sheets． That groundwater earns an unshakably important place for rivers worldwide，keeping them running even when droughts bring their waters low．But in recent decades humans have pumped trillions of gallons out of those underground reservoirs． In a new research， water experts and scientists are taking a global look at where groundwater is alreadybeing extracted at such a rate that it has caused water levels to drop so much in rivers and streams that they will slip into the ecological danger zone．Much of that water is being removed much faster than it can berefilled． That has enormous potential consequences for people and crops in areas that don't get enough rain． But far before those impacts emerge，the effects will fiercely hit rivers， streams， and the habitats around them． Hundreds of rivers and streams around the world would become so water-stressed that the entire ecological system would hit a danger point， says Inge de Graaf， the lead author of the research． "We can really consider this ecological effect like a ticking time bomb，" she says． "If we pump the groundwater now， we don't see the impacts until like 10 years further or even longer．"But the severity of the impacts might still be underestimated． As a baseline， they used the global water demand in 2010 and spun their climate model forward to predict how stresses on groundwater systems might develop． But as populations swell and the demand for food rises，those stresses could skyrocket for reasons other than climate change，speeding along the extraction from underground water sources．The effects of over-pumping groundwater take years， if not decades，to become visible．Changes in rain have immediate， obvious effects on river flow． When it pours， rivers often rage． But groundwater is hidden and changes don't always manifest in the place where the pumping occurs and are programmed to "wait for the perfect moment"． That makes aquifer management issues extra challenging． In the meantime， rivers and streams are the signal that says we're using water in an unsustainable fashion， we need to take a hard look at what we're doing．"．9. The underlined word "extracted" in the second paragraph can be replaced by ______ ．A. pumpedB. distractedC. contractedD. filled10. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？______A. The water removed from the ground can be fully refilled．B. The effects of over-pumping groundwater are notimmediate．C. The groundwater only takes effects during droughts．D. Fresh water hidden below Earth's surface is more than anyother source．二、单选题(本大题共15小题，共15.0分)11.

Passage 1Nature is shrinking by the day in the name of progress． The loss of biodiversity could be a disaster． Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants， animals and other living things which are allinter-connected． The problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague． People might care about brown bears， but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of microscopic sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations alongcoastlines．Passage 2The Guardian newspaper has launched the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action． This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to reverse the decline in sea-life caused by industrial fishing， banning the fishing of live sharks at sea by some Asian countries， and stopping the slaughter of dingoes in Australia， among many other things．写作内容：1、用 30 单词左右写出上文概要；2、用约 120 单词阐述你对这个话题的看法，内容包括：（1）你如何看待保护动物多样性的意义？（2）作为中学生，你如何为保护动物多样性做出贡献？写作要求：1、写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2、作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3、不必写标题．英语试卷答案一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题，共20.0分)【答案】【小题1】B【小题2】D【小题3】B【小题1】C【小题2】B【小题3】A【小题1】D【小题2】A【小题1】A【小题2】B二、单选题(本大题共15小题，共15.0分)11【答案】A 12【答案】B 13【答案】A 14【答案】B15【答案】B 16【答案】C17【答案】A 18【答案】D19【答案】C20【答案】B 21【答案】B 22【答案】C23【答案】B 24【答案】B 25【答案】B三、完形填空(本大题共20小题，共20.0分)【答案】【小题1】B【小题2】D【小题3】D【小题4】C【小题5】C【小题6】C【小题7】B【小题8】B【小题9】A【小题10】B【小题11】A【小题12】C【小题13】A【小题14】D【小题15】B【小题16】A【小题17】B【小题18】C【小题19】A【小题20】C四、书面表达(本大题共1小题，共25.0分)46【答案】Biodiversity is suffering devastating damage nowadays，and not every species gets due public awareness．Luckily，campaigns like the Biodiversity 100 are appealing to governments to advocate better living conditions for endangered species．（生物的多样性遭到重大破坏，现在有人们在积极行动改善濒危物种的生存条件）Since the organisms of the ecosystems are inter-connected，if species or populations of a species disappear，it can have harmful effects on the rest of the ecosystem．（高分句型一）Declining biodiversity is therefore a concern for manyreasons．For example，greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability for all life forms and provides a number of natural services for everyone；healthy ecosystems can better withstand and recover from a variety of disasters．（对保护动物多样性的意义的看法）So it makes sense for everyone to make efforts to maintain biodiversity．As for students，we can help by learning more about the significance of preserving biodiversity and promoting the ideas of sustainable developments and consumption．If everyone can start by not buying or using products that harm biodiversity，we can surely make a difference．（高分句型二）（作为中学生，应该为保护动物多样性做出贡献）。

Some phrasesB. The cloth wallsC. The sand patchesD. The colorful stones5.Why did the beach-goes set up separators？______A. To attract others' attentionB. To keep themselves in privatesC. To stop winds disturbing themD. To protect themselves from sunburn6.What seems to be the problem with beach separators？______A. They cause plenty of garbageB. They make the beach overcrowdedC. They leave their separators unattendedD. They lead to many crimes against foreigners7.What's the author's purpose of writing this passage？______A. To encourage the local tourism in PolandB. To introduce a kind of Polish beach cultureC. To discuss the possibilities of solving the beach problemD. To urge the tourism department to face the beach problemCIf you want to be productive，you must complete work．Almost everything we do has many stages to completion and in many situations，you don't actually create value until you finish the last stage．Farmers can't sell their grain until it is harvested．Automakers can't sell cars that have made it 90% of the way through the assembly line（生产线）．Most employers aren't going to pay you for having a degree unless you finished the last class and graduated．Now all those things require starting，but if you have work in progress，the most valuable thing you can do is to pick something and finish it．Finishing is where you start benefiting from the value you've created．I've noticed that many successful people aren't the ones who are the smartest or have the best ideas．They are often the ones who do the best job of taking an idea and completing it．A good idea fully carried out is better than a great idea that never gets completed．Does this mean you need to finish everything you start？Not necessarily，but if you don'tthink something is worth finishing，be honest with yourself and terminate the project．Don't leave hundreds of half finished efforts lying around physically or mentally acting like you are going to come back and pick them up．If you need to drop something ，do so strategically and intentionally．If you've put significant effort into a project，you may still benefit from finishing it even if you wouldn't start it again based on changed circumstances．For example，if you are in your last few months before graduating from college and realize you don't want to career in what you are majoring in，you probably should go ahead and graduate because there is significant value in having the degree---even if you don't intend to actually work in that field．What projects do you have that are currently in progress？Can you find something and finish it？8.Why do many people become successful according to the author？______A. They are the smartestB. They have the best ideasC. They start things smoothlyD. They make ideas fully completed9.What does the underlined word "terminate" in paragraph 3 mean？______A. DevelopB. EndC. PlanD. Support10.According to the author，which of the following is the correct way of creatingvalue？______A. A man decides to finish all he starts to doB. Farmers hurry to sell their crops before they are ripeC. A college student chooses to study until he gets his degreeD. A student keeps a half-filled stamp album around for future use11.What is the best title for the text？______A. Finishing vs．StartingB. Well Begun is Half DoneC. Planning vs．PerformingD. It is Easier Said than DoneDThe Australian beach town of Byron Bay has a traffic problem，especially during holidays，when local streets are full of cars．But now it's changed．The world's first fully solar-powered train runs on a restored（修复）train line that was out of use for more than a decade．The solar systems on the roof of the train send power to a set of batteries that replace one engine；the other engine is still in place and can provide backup power in an emergency．As thetrain brakes，it generates more electricity，like a hybrid car．At a train station，the train can be plugged in to pull more power from solar systems on the platform roof．If there's a long period without sun---somewhat unlikely in this part of the world---the train can also plug in to get renewable energy from the local electricity supply．"The large solar systems on the platform roof coupled with the solar systems on the train roof produce more solar energy per day than is required to operate an hourly return service，" says Holmes，development director of the nonprofit Byron Bay Railroad company，which runs the train．With one full charge，the train can make 12 to 15 trips．Volunteers fully restored the train to its old condition to attract more riders，which should take more cars off city streets of the beach town．The train fits 100 seated passengers，with room for more to stand，and also has a luggage room for bikes and surfboards．A ride costs a little more than ﹩2．The nonprofits thinks it's a model that could be replicated （复制）elsewhere．"Our service has had no government support or funding at all，but for this to be replicated or improved upon，the key is for government to work with enterprises on the program．" Holmes says．"Our service provides an eample of how the sun's energy can be used for sustainable transport solutions．"12.Why is the solar train brought into use in Byron Bay？______A. To attract visitorsB. To reduce trafficC. To fight pollutionD. To use solar energy13.Where does the train get energy on sunless days？______A. From its enginesB. From a hybrid carC. From the platform roofD. From the local electricity supply14.How does Holmes feel about solar energy equipment？______A. It is labor-savingB. It is easily operatedC. It is time-consumingD. It is power guaranteed15.What can be inferred about the solar-powered train from the last paragraph？______A. It may be popularized in the futureB. More scientific research should be done about itC. It could be of little use in solving energy problems．D.

I disliked memorizing formulas (公式) and taking tests, all for the dull goal of getting a good grade. One of my teachers told my mother that I was "slow". But my problem wasn't with math itself. In fact, when a topic seemed particularly interesting, I would go to the library and read more about it.By high school, no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician. What I wanted to do then was to play college football. My ambition was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school.The chances of that happening were very low. But that didn't stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal, and preparing and pushing me to work for it. They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country. In the end, a Big Ten school, Penn State, did offer me a scholarship.I wish math teachers were more like football coaches. Students are affected by more than just the quality of a lesson plan. They also respond to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers, and they seek a sense of purpose. They benefit from specific instructions and constant feedback (反馈).Until I got to college, I didn't really know what mathematics was. I still thought of it as laborious (耗时费力的) calculations. Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I think about a particular problem. It wasn't easy, but it was fascinating. My professor kept giving me problems, and I kept pursuing them, even though I couldn't always solve them immediately. The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms. Instead, it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy. It gave me that same sense of wonder and curiosity, and it rewarded creativity. I am now a Ph. D candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.（1）（2分）Why did the writer think math class in school was "something to be endured" before entering college?A．Because he wasn't interested in math.B．Because his math teachers didn't care to push him.C．Because he was too smart and talented for math class.D．Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship.（2）（2分）According to the writer, students are affected by the following things from teachers orcoaches EXCEPT ______ .A．a sense of purpose B．constant feedbackC．passion D．specific instructions（3）（2分）We can conclude that after entering college, the writer ______ .A．was busy looking for math problems to solveB．studied on his own just as he was in high schoolC．met with laborious calculations in his studiesD．began to realize what mathematics really is（4）（2分）What is the best title for the text?A．Interest is the best teacherB．Be the best-you can make itC．Math, taught like footballD．Once your teacher, always your teacher3．（8分）阅读理解You have probably read about robots replacing human labor as a new era of automation takes root in one industry after another. But a new report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs.In New Zealand, farmers are using drones (无人机) to herd and monitor cows and sheep, taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century. The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely, Radio New Zealand reports, but they have appropriated (盗用) one of the animal's most powerful tools: barking. The DJI Mavic Enterprise, a ﹩3,500 drone favored by farmers, has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and play them over a loudspeaker, giving the machine the ability to act as the dogs.Corey Lambeth, a shepherd on a farm, told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective. "That's the one thing I've noticed when you're moving cows that the old cows stand up to the dogs, but with the drones, they've never done that," he said, noting the drones move cows faster, with less stress, than the dogs do.The drones come in handy for more than just herding (放牧) cows and sheep. The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar, monitoring water and feed levels and checking on the animals' health without disturbing them. Jason Rentoul told RNZ that a two-hour herding job that used to require two peopleand two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone. "Being a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done on foot, the drones really saved a lot of man hours," he said.For now, farmers say, there is still a need for herding dogs, primarily because they have a longer life span than drones, can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge.（1）（2分）What is the main advantage of the drones over herding dogs?A．The drones can take up a job that the dogs hardly do well any longer.B．The drones can frighten the old cows which are not afraid of the dogs.C．The drones can finish a herding job more efficiently than the dogs.D．The drones can work on a hilly farm and extreme weather while the dogs can't.（2）（2分）Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．Herding dogs will gradually lose their position on the farmland.B．The drones can only copy the dogs' barking with the current technology.C．The drones are multi-functional and leave the animals undisturbed.D．The market for the DJI Mavic Enterprise is pretty small because of its high price.（3）（2分）According to the passage, why can't the drones replace the dogs entirely?A．Because the drones can't bark as loudly as the dogs do.B．Because cows are not used to seeing the drones.C．Because the drones are much more expensive than the animal.D．Because the drones' power is limited and they need charging from time to time.（4）（2分）What is the author's attitude towards the drones in the passage?A．supportive B．objective C．critical D．doubtful4．（8分）阅读理解Recently I rolled into a local restaurant to try an Impossible Burger, an all-plant patty (人造肉饼) invented by Impossible Foods. It's well known for having an strangely chewy (有咀嚼感) , even bloody, meat-like quality, a surprising verisimilitude (逼真) that has made it "perhaps the country's most famous burger," as New York magazine wrote. One bite into its wonderful, smoky taste and, damn, I was convinced.This is good news, because the time has come to consume fake meat. In the fight against climate change, meat replacement is something we can try. A University of Oxford study recently found that, to keep global warming below 2 degrees this century, we need to be eating 75 percent less beef and 90 percent lesspork.However, diets are culturally enshrined, so changing them will be hard. It isn't easy to replace 75 to 90 percent of beef and pork with fake meat. The first taste of an Impossible Burger-a moment when low expectations work a powerful magic in the product's favor-is one thing. But how do you keep meat-eaters asking for more after their sixth, and their 26th?To get to true mass adoption, fake meat will need to compete favorably with the real thing on multiple fronts. Impossible Foods' goal is to drive the price of its product below that of Safeway's 80/20 hamburger meat, at which point people will simply vote with their wallets. The new industry also wants to improve on animal flesh in various ways. Fake meat has an advantage over traditional meat because "you won't need to refrigerate it" cofounder Niko Koffeman says. Plus, custom (定制的) production could improve choice. "You could have very soft and tender meat for elderly people," Koffeman adds. "You could have a tailored meat for whatever you need."You can tell the world is shifting this way, because the ranchers (牧场主) are nervous. Last year, the US Cattlemen's Association asked the government to define "meat" as a product "coming directly from animals." That anxiety-and the power of the science driving it-goes to show that this grand shift isn't impossible.（1）（2分）According to passage, the author was convinced by the Impossible Burger because______ .A．it has a special taste that is different from normal ones.B．it contains all non-meat materials that taste like meat.C．more vegetables are used as main materials for the burger.D．one bite of this burger can provide people with the energy needed for a whole day.（2）（2分）What does the author mean by saying "Diets are culturally enshrined"?A．That people think their diet is the best in the world.B．That people are unwilling to go against their culture by changing their diets.C．That people's preference for food is linked to the food choice available to them.D．That people's eating habits are consistently observed and closely connected with their culture.（3）（2分）Which of the following statements is true about the advantages that fake meat will have to beat over traditional meat?A．Fake meat will not be necessarily stored in a refrigerator.B．The price of fake meat will be just one-fourth of traditional meat's.C．Fake meat will win over older people thanks to its tender and soft taste.D．Fake meat will own a taste that is not found in traditional meat.（4）（2分）What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Meat must come from animals.B．The world will probably embrace the idea of fake meat.C．The ranchers are suffering economic loss due to fake meat.D．The definition of meat has been changed because of fake meat.二、任务型阅读（本大题共5小题，共10.0分） (共1题；共10分)5．（10分）任务型阅读Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting? Certainly, it is a new experience, which brings the opportunity of discovering fascinating things and a feeling of freedom. You will experience culture shock. Evidently, at least four essential stages of culture-shock adjustment occur.The first stage is called "the honeymoon". In this stage, you feel excitement about living in a different place, and everything seems to be marvelous.Eventually, however, the second stage of culture shock appears. This is the "hostility stage".You become tired of many things about the new culture. Moreover, people don't treat you like a guest anymore. Everything that seemed to be so wonderful at first is now awful, and everything makes you feel distressed and tired.Then you come to the third stage called "recovery". You start feeling more positive, and you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand. The whole situation starts to become more favorable.The last stage of culture shock is called "adjustment". The things that initially made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. Now you feel comfortable; you have adjusted to the new culture.A. Actually, culture shock is something you cannot avoid when studying in a foreign country.B. You have reached a point where you feel good because you have learned enough to understand the new culture.C. You like everything, and everybody seems to be so nice to you.D. You recover from the symptoms of the first two stages.E. In spite of these advantages, however, there are also some challenges you will encounter.F. However, when you have completely adjusted to a new culture you can more fully enjoy it.G. You begin to notice that not everything is as good as you had originally thought it was.三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分） (共1题；共30分)6．（30分）完形填空For centuries, Beijing has been one of China's most important cities. （1） a place for emperors and officials, today it is an international city and a popular tourist （2）.

Because it's an example of a standard word．C. Because his hometown is possibly the birthplace of it．D. Because many common words come from a specific area．11.What is Katz's opinion on regional differences？______A. They will finally disappear in the future．B. They have a bad influence on people's life．C. They will remain a part of people's everyday life．D. They prevent language from being homogeneous．DIt used to be mostly the army that used small，unpiloted aircraft，called "drones"．The little planes were very costly．But as they have dropped in price more people have begun to use them．The fast rate of development of computer technology，image sensing equipment，satellite navigation and smart phones has led to lower-priced drones．Researchers and developers have learned how to build smaller and less costly drones．Nowadays，moviemakers are using drones to film from the sky．Historians use them when they explore ancient buildings．Rescue workers use them to look for people．And now farmers are also using them to watch over their crops．Romain Faroux is a French businessman，whose father was a farmer．He believed drones could help farmers．He has helped create a company which has developed a small drone that could be controlled by people on the ground．It's called "Agridrone"．It uses a special sensor to examine crops．The technology used on the drone is similar to that used on a smartphone -- except it has wings．A computer program directs the drone to fly over the crops．The sensor on the drone records four different-colored "bands" of sunlight that are reflected off the crops．Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is another farmer in France who is using a drone．He says the drone flies over his crops at different times of the season and provides a lot of information about his crops．The pictures taken by the drone show him the exact amount of fertilizer the crops need．It also shows exactly where the fertilizer is needed．Romain Faroux says farmers use information provided by the Agridrone to place fertilizer only in areas where it is needed．This saves money and reduces pollution．Before they used the drones，farmers would put the same amount of fertilizer everywhere．Drones also save time because farmers can examine up to three hectares （英亩）in about a minute．12.Why do rescue workers and farmers begin to use drones？______A. Because they are affordable now．B. Because their sizes have become smaller．C. Because they can save people a lot of time．D. Because the technology has been developed．13.What is the sensor on the drone mainly used for？______A. Helping the sunlight shine on the crops．B. Directing the wings to fly over the crops．C. Examining the different colors of the crops．D. Recording the sunlight "bands" reflected off the crops．14.What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 3 probably refer to？______A. A smartphone．B. A sensor．C. A drone．D. A band．15.What is the main idea of the text？______A. Crops will be harvested by drones soon．B. Drones will be widely used in different fields．C. French farmers use drones to examine their crops．D. Farmers develop special drones for their crops．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）If you're thinking about studying abroad，but aren't sure how to convince your parents or yourself，here are some of the best reasons why spending a semester or year overseas is a smart and fun thing to do．(1) ．Want to impress potential employers？Companies around the world continue to invest in the global market，and prefer to hire employees who have international experience．Not to mention theknowledge of a second language．Your resume （简历）will stand out from everyone else applying for the same position．Learn foreign languages．Language teachers say being immersed （沉浸）in a culture that speaks the language you want to learn is the quickest and most effective way to learn it．(2) ．As globalization brings the world together，it's important to be competent in more than one language．Experience different cultures．Immersing yourself in a totally different culture is powerful．You'll experience things like trying different foods，celebrating traditional customs，and learning the history of another country．A person's culture reflects beliefs and values that influence their way of life．(3) ．Expand your worldview．Previously held beliefs about foreign countries will change once you've been abroad．(4) ．It can be surprising just how much you know is slightly biased （有偏见的），based on where you're from．It's also a unique opportunity to educate others on your country！Earn money!

2020届安徽省桐城中学高三下学期第三次模拟考试英语试卷一、阅读理解 (本大题共10小题，共25.0分)Though I know that I can do little to help the animals，I often check dog rehoming websites．Looking through page upon page of pitiful faces looking up，you might be thinking that the only dogs to be abandoned in this country are fierce-looking or large and unruly dogs．Recently，it seems there are some new additions in dog homes．Dogs Trust --- the country's largest dog welfare charity --- says that in the past year over 400 "toy dogs" were handed in，a 44% increase on the year before．"Toy dog" is the traditional term for all little dogs，but in recent years they've increasingly been referred to as "handbag dogs" after the ridiculous manner in which famous people like Paris Hilton carry them around in their ＄1，000 handbags，making these dogs the most wanted for impressionable teens．As the popularity of Hilton has waned，however，these dogs are being rudely tipped out of the handbags and given up to charity．In spite of the sad ending that this trend brings for some of these dogs，it can only be a good thing if people become aware that the toy types are still dogs，not dolls to be carried around．If you really are prepared to stick with them，a small dog is just as capable of bringing joy without the need to dress him or her up．A large dog won't sit on your lap while you read the papers or travel happilyon the train with you．And a park full of pugs （哈巴狗）would be a happier and safer place than one full of teenage boys and badly trained large dogs．As Edith Wharton said，"My little dog --- a heartbeat at my feet．"1. What is the author's new finding in the dog rehoming websites？______A. More "handbag dogs" are given up．B. Some dogs in Dogs Trust are large dogs．C. Teens are likely to play with their "toy dogs"．D. The number of abandoned dogs is increasing．2. What does the underlined word "waned" in the third paragraph most probably mean？______A. grown．B. weakened．C. begun．D. worked．3. What might be the author's attitude towards dogs ？______A. Large dogs and children make a good park．B. "Handbag dogs" should be forbidden in public places．C. It is good to dress dogs up before carrying them around．D. Keeping small dogs can bring joys in a way．Fifteen-year-old David had spent six months planning a hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon with his classmates．No one could have known it would end in tragedy．When the group arrived at the starting point for the hike，they found out there was a problem with their permit．To solve it，the five boys and three leaderswalk back up to the ranger station （护林站）- only to find out it was closed．When the boys got moving，they'd already drunk most of their water．In the burning sun，temperatures reached 115°F．Even the leaders were having trouble walking on，but the group finally made it down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon．Heat evil was occurring．"My son made it about 100 yards from the river and then dropped，" says his father，Robin．Two boys of them raced to the river to get him water．When the boys arrived，the last rafting （筏运）trip of the day was passing by．As luck would have it，among the waiting riders were a few doctors．They rushed to give David first aid before going for help．But it was too late．David passed away from the heat evil．It's been 21 years since the boy's death，and hiking still holds a strong memory of David for his family．The summer before the tragedy，his father had a long time to devote to his family．David and his dad spent the summer hiking all over the High Uintas，where snow-topped peaks reflect tower overglacier-formed lakes．The photo Robin took of Christmas Meadows there won the Reader's Digest "From Sea to Shining Sea" photo contest and appeared on the July 2017 magazine cover．To Robin，it isn't just a fascinating landscape - it's also a powerful reminder of his late son．4. How many people does David's group consist of？______A. 11B. 10C. 8D. 95. Where did Robin take the photo which won the Reader's Digest "From Sea to Shining Sea" photo contest？______A. On the High Uintas．B. Where David had been to．C. In the Grand Canyon．D. In the Christmas Meadows．6. What does the passage intend to tell us mainly？______A. Take enough water with you when hiking．B. Robin still misses his late son，David．C. Don't hike to the Grand Canyon in too hot weather．D. Doctors can't necessarily succeed in saving every patient．A very close friend phoned me this weekend and asked a specific question about earning a few extra dollars each month online．For the benefit of keeping her name and details secret，I will call her Annie in this article．You see Annie suffers from a severe form of inaction syndrome；she is full of great ideas that never materialize into cash and she is having a problem finding the link that will achieve this．Somebody once said that knowledge is power，yet we constantly find from readers of our website that they have knowledge to burn and still do not have power．Just look at the academics in universities all around the world；they have so much knowledge that they should control the wealth of the world．In truth they work for peanuts and very few of them ever achieve the power of independence．So knowledge certainly isn't power．Therefore，we should changethat "wise" statement to "Power is the ability to use knowledge to your own benefit．"Annie is a typical academic-strong on talk and plans but weaker on actions．In the period of a twenty-minute conversation，she stated a whole list of plans and ideas to make the extra few hundred dollars each month she was seeking．Any one of her many ideas was a potential money maker，but she had taken action on none of them．At one time she said，"I'm lost as to what to do next．" That was my clue to get involved．"Take action，" I advised．All that is wrong is that Annie was inactive without knowing it．In five minutes we drew up a plan of action and agreed to talk again in a month to review progress．When we finished the conversation，she sounded much happier and more motivated than when we started．Annie just needs a little encouragement into beneficial action．7. What's the problem with Annie？______A. She has too many great ideas．B. She seldom puts her ideas into practice．C. She suffers from a strange illness．D. She knows little about making money online．8. What is the most important according to the author？______A. The ability to use one's knowledge．B. The ability to acquire knowledge．C. A great deal of knowledge．D. A good understanding of oneself．9. Which of the following is not true according to the passage？______A. Annie is the real name of the author's friend．B. Annie is good at talk and plans．C. Annie is inactive to take actions．D. Annie feels more confident after the talk with the author．10. What might the passage continue to talk about？______A. How Annie takes actions on her ideas．B. Why Annie should take actions on her ideas．C. What the author suggests toAnnie．D. What Annie's problem is．二、阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共10.0分)It's Time to Put It Away Your smart phone may have hurt you before you realize it．Don't be addicted to it．Put your phone away，OK？1．Cyber SicknessCyber sickness，also called "digital motion sickness"，symptoms that range from headaches to sick feelings can occur when you quickly scroll on your smart phone or watch action-packed videos on your screen． 11 Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs．When thoseinputs don't agree，that's when you feel dizziness and sickness．2．Text ClawText claw is the unofficial term for pains and muscle contraction felt in the fingers，wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use． 12 So if you're always on your phone，it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands and forearms．3．Eye TirednessDo you stare at a screen for hours on end？If you're doing this，you very well might suffer eye strain． 13 Staring at your digital devices for a long time can lead to dry eyes，headaches and tiredness，which can decrease your productivity．Experts suggest taking screen breaks every 20 minutes．4．Text SpineSimilar to the text claw，text spine-discomfort in the neck and spine-happens when you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone． 14 Being mindful of how far your spine bends when you're on your phone-and bending it back to an upright position-can help reduce the risk of text neck．5．Pedestrian SafetyPedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users even when crossing the road．While focused on the cyber world，many of us ignore the potential dangers of the traffic，and the risks are scary． 15A．We should take breaks for a while．B．Traffic rules are more important than smart phones．C．The sensation results from a mismatch between sensory inputs．D．The habit may lead to people requiring medical spine care at a younger age．E．Any specific motor activity can cause pain in the muscles when done repeatedly．F．To avoid injury or worse，put your phone away until you've reached a safe spot．G．Any activity that requires active use of your eyes-driving and reading included-can cause eye tiredness．11.
