2018年浙江省名校联盟高考英语模拟试卷（5月份）
第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分35 分）第一节（共3小题；每小题2. 5 分，满分25 分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项．
1. Over the weekend, the New York Times published a story announcing the death of voice mails, quoting a Vonage spokesperson who said that voice mail use had decreased 8 percent from last October to April of this year． The story positions millennials（千禧一代） as being primarily responsible, as the text﹣preferring generation has little patience for sitting through a long, droning message．
But there's another element here: awkwardness． A Moth Story SLAM﹣winner Kate Greathead once said, "I'm fine when tell a story in front of 400strangers, but get dry﹣mouthed when leaving a voice mail．" "In a sense , leaving a voice mail involves everything we fear about public speaking﹣with the added discomfort of receiving absolute silence from your audience in an email, " said Joshua Clegg, a psychologist at CUNY's John Jay College of Criminal Justice． The spotlight is on you, which can be panic﹣inducing enough． But in a more traditional public speaking, at least you get feedback from your audience, which means you get a chance to adapt to that response and potentially recover from any missteps． But it isn't so with the voice mail．
In an experiment Clegg asked participants to get involved in an impromptu（即兴的）defense of their opinions on a given topic． They were all alone and they were being filmed． "It was like a torture for most of them, and many of them were
sweating, fidgeting, looking at the ground, tongue﹣tied, " he said． "Some of them even had to quit in the middle because it was too difficult for them．"
"Of course , things seem to become less awkward when they are familiar, but the voice mail seems to be on its way out so there is little point in getting good at it． "he added． There you have it: permission from a scientist to avoid leaving voice mails and await the day when the system dies a natural death．
（1）Why don't millennials like voice mails？________
A Because leaving voice mails usually makes users feel awkward．
B Because some new means of communication have been invented．
C Because they think others will hack into the voice mail．
D Because they are impatient with a long and noisy message．
（2）How might Kate Greathead feel when leaving a voice mail according to Paragraph 2？________
A Undistracted．
B Uncomfortable．
C Worried．
D Confused．
（3）The author explains "awkwardness" when leaving a voice mail mainly by________．
A making a comparison．
B using examples．
C presenting research findings．
D giving a definition．
（4）What is he author's opinion on voice mails？________
A Millennials are to blame for the decrease of voice mails．
B Leaving voice mails is more difficult than public speaking．
C Voice mails will disappear naturally．
D The
more you are familiar with ones you speak to， the less awkward you'll feel．
2. The firemen were back． "Let's take you there to have a look． "Sweet black smoke still hung in the air． My hall was covered in black ruins． My kitchen was almost gone : the cooker, the fridge , the washing﹣machine and the ceiling in pieces by the door． "It could have been worse, "said the fireman, a phrase heard a lot in the last few days． I thanked him for getting there so quickly． ________ he laughed．
I phoned a friend at work, but her ll﹣year﹣old son, Oliver, was there． "There's been a fire, um, can we come and stay? "
"A fire? Wow, great, see you．"
I arrived with two kids and bags full of smelly clothes by taxi． My friend spent the weekend feeding me and telling me everything would be all right． We went back to the flat to examine the destruction． Everything was covered in a layer of thick black dust．
Several days later, I started to feel very strange． One day I had a flat, the next day I
didn't． I tried to cheer myself up by thinking that I would be getting Christmas gifts﹣a lot of new shiny kitchen appliances． And I have been told by the insurance company who came and inspected the damage． "It could have been worse, "they said．
Returning to my "new home" my daughter presented me with a picture she had drawn, a picture of a house on fire． I had to laugh． But as I was laughing I caught that smell again． I just can't seem to get rid of it． Everywhere I go, I can smell something burning．
（1）Where did the author probably stay after the fire？________
A In another flat．
B At her friend's home．
C In a shelter．
D At a hotel．
（2）What does the underlined sentence mean in the first paragraph？________
A The fireman corrected the author's comment．
B The fireman was confident of his job．
C The fireman performed his duty more quickly than the police．
D The fireman was laughing at the author．
（3）According to the passage， which of the following is NOT true？________
A The author was lucky enough that only the kitchen was burned．
B People tried to cheer the author up after the fire．
C People would probably send kitchen appliances to the author at Christmas．
D After the fire， something went wrong with the author's nose．
3. Shocking news makes headlines all the time． Examples include South Korea's presidential scandal and the Pope （教皇） supporting Donald Trump． But the difference between the two is that the former actually happened, while the latter is fake． And although it's fake, the"Pope supports Trump' news was shared over 960, 000 times on Facebook． ________ truly worried the world．
But this was only one of many cases in which people have fallen for inaccurate information． And according to David Rapp, a professor at Northwestern
University, US, this has less to do with people's ignorance （无知） and more to do with how the human brain works．
Rapp found that when people see a piece of news, they tend to quickly "download" the information into their memory because it's easier than checking it first． "We're bombarded
（轰炸） with tons of information all day． It's a nightmare to evaluate all of it, " Rapp told Science Daily． And just as first impressions are hard to change, the incorrect information gets stuck in our memory , even if we later read otherwise． W hen the brain tries to pull up information later, the incorrect information is likely to come to mind more easily than the correction． "Just because you can remember what someone said doesn't make it true, " added Rapp．
But our brains only explain the psychological side of things． The way news spreads on social media has also added to the problem． Earlier studies found that people tend to befriend those who are"like﹣minded"on social media． Websites like Facebook also use algorithms （程序算法） to figure out preferences of users in order to feed them what they like to see． Both have helped create what researchers called an "echo chamber"﹣a space where only similar opinions spread around while things that are uncomfortable or challenging are kept outside．
"The danger here is that you increasingly end up not seeing what people who think differently see, and in fact not even knowing that it exists, " Eli Pariser, CEO of Upworthy, a US﹣based news website, told US radio station NPR．
This is why Rapp suggested that you look critically at information right away, even if it might not fit your ideas．
（1）The underlined word "This"in Paragraph 1 refers to________．
A South Korea's presidential scandal．
B the Pope's support for Donald
Trump． C the wide spread of inaccurate news through the Internet． D shocking news attracts readers' attention．
（2）According to David Rapp，________．
A our brains remember incorrect information more quickly than correct
information． B people are easily fooled by fake information because its accuracy is hard to check． C people tend to rely on their first impressions when thinking of information they have received． D people's ignorance is the main reason for the wide spread of fake news．
（3）What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 and 5？________
A News on websites that use algorithms is unreliable．
B The use of algorithms should be banned to prevent fake news．
C News on some social media websites is shown based on users' habits．
D Only the similar opinions can spread around in the"echo chamber'．

4. If you're in a bit of a slump（低迷），it might be due to your brain being a bit bored．（1）_______． It's lacking flavor and could be elevated to amazing levels with just a few basic ingredients． Try the following fun and free activities to stimulate your brain in amazing ways．
（2）_______． If you're right﹣handed， become a lefty for the day． Simply switching the hand you usually use for routine tasks gets your brain thinking in a different way． When brushing your teeth， use the opposite hand． Eating？ Use the opposite hand． You can really test yourself and try writing an entire day while using your less frequently used hand．Talk to yourself． Pick one hour a day to verbally discuss anything and everything with yourself． Describe what you see， what you're doing or your afternoon plans vocally instead of keeping it locked up in your head．（3）_______． But talking while thinking is a great brain booster． You might find solutions to problems you've been struggling with．Wash your hair with your eyes closed．（4）_______． The reality is that we often rely too heavily on one or two senses， leaving the others behind． Stimulate your brain and close your eyes while washing your hair， eating， or putting on your clothes． Along with being a fun challenge ，your brain is encouraged to use those other senses that have been forgotten about．
Walk on． Just like the body， our brain needs physical exercise too． A steady walk increases blood circulation， which enhances energy production and waste removal． And walking isn't strenuous and can be done anywhere anytime．（5）_______．
A． Your senses help your brain make decisions and build connections
