A．Summer comes and we start thinking of ways to increase liquid intake. Water-rich fruits like watermelon become a basic part of your diet during summer. These fruits can certainly help to stop our thirst. Watermelons are not only nutritious but also help us beat the summer heat. However, can watermelons be shared with our pet dog?There is absolutely no harm in giving a watermelon to your pet. Watermelons are excellent sources of vitamins A and C as well as minerals. Moreover, they help to stop your pet’s thirst as they contain more than 70% water.Before sharing a watermelon with your dog, make sure that you do not feed beyond his ability to digest. The amount you feed will vary depending upon how big your dog is. For instance, if you have a small breed dog, giving a small slice is enough. However, an adult Golden Retriever certainly has the ability to consume more slices.Also, make sure that you remove the seeds before feeding watermelon slices to your dog. This is because dogs find the seeds very difficult to digest; hence their consumption is likely to cause stomach upset.Moreover, the seeds can actually be harmful to your dog as the seeds can be poisonous to your dog when eaten too much. Even taking a few may cause stomach upset in some dogs. So it is best to avoid feeding the seeds to your pet.As far as offering the skin of the watermelon is concerned, you should avoid it. While the rind(外皮) contains a great number of nutrients, if not chewed properly and swallowed, it can get stuck in the stomach and cause a serious digestive problem in dogs.On the whole , while watermelon is not bad for a dog’s health, feeding it in small portions without the skin and the seeds is necessary to keep digestive issues at bay.21. Which of the following isn’t the reason why watermelons can be shared with the pet?A. They are rich in vitamins.B. They contain superior minerals.C. They can provide enough water.D. They can strengthen the digestive system.【答案】：D22. What decides the amount of the watermelon you share with a pet?A. They type of a pet.B. The size of a pet.C. The ripeness of a watermelon.D. The taste of a watermelon. 【答案】：B【解析】：本题主要在文章第三段。

AWhy go to Madrid?There may be a slight chill ( 寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15 ℃in March, but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundación Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance ( 文艺复兴) painter EI Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24 June to 5 October.How to go?The widest range of fights is ofered by EasyJet - from Bristo, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton.

Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. 1 got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4.What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.5.What is special about the garden?A.Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B.The grass grew faster than common grass.C.The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D.Underground water was used for the plants.6.What does the underlined word“that" refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.7.How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.CHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions - serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“ By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can. put their health at further risk," said AMA BoardMember Jack Resneck Jr, M.D., in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull ( 颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA'S new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8.Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A.To raise safety standards of sports.B.To protect athletes from concussions.C.To set rules for health care evaluation.D.To help players return to the game quickly.9.What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A. Avoid using the head.B. Leave the field forever.C. Get treatment in time.D. Switch to another sport.10.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What a concussion is.B. What causes damage to brain cells.C. How the CDC works.D. How a concussion can be prevented.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Rules for Safer PlayB. Sports Injuries in the USC. Advice to AthletesD. New Policies for DoctorsDOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides ( 杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumersbelieve it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria ( 病毒), such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A. Price.B. Safety.C. Freshness.D. Variety.13.What is the doctors' suggestion?A. Grow your own food.B. Reduce the use of pesticides.C. Make sure the food is clean.D. Buy large companies' products.14.Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A. It tastes better.B. It is easier to grow.C. It contains more fat.D. It is more nutritious.15.Where does this text probably come from?A. A recipe book.B. A chemistry paper.C. A medical report.D. A health magazine.第二节(共5 小题:每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分)由水浒教育老师整理提供！阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThese are the Nicest Places in America, from tiny Hayesville, North Carolina to the city of Providence, Rhode Island. You really can find kindness all over the U. S.Yassin ' s Falafel House in Knoxville. TennesseeYassin Terou, who came to Knoxville in 2011, is a well-known local person. His falafel house won the Nicest Places in America contest in 2018 because it serves as a welcoming and safe place for people of every culture who are in trouble. Even though some people don't accept him for who he is, Yassin likes to give everyone a chance because he was given a chance to realize his American dream. Katy, TexasIn 2017, Katy, Texas was hit hard by Hurricane Harvey. About 700 homes and 80 businesses were destroyed or damaged in the small town. Soon after it, local people and businesses immediately helped their neighbors recover.Kalamazoo, MichiganStudent loan debt （学生借贷） is an ever-present case for students looking to go on their education, but in Kalamazoo, it's not a problem. An organization funded by anonymous （匿名的） people called The Kalamazoo Promise pays for any student that attends Kalamazoo public schools to go to college. This town ' s amazing promise is keeping hope alive. Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore, MarylandEnoch Pratt isn't your typical library, it's more of a community service center. In a city with high crime, it offers help to people that get in trouble with the law. Volunteers, including local lawyers doing work without getting paid, serve hundreds of people every week. This library is writing a new chapter （篇章） for Baltimore.21.

The Nicest Places in America are all ___ .A. related with disastersB. full of kindnessC. about the American dreamD. of the social public serviceBI wanted to lose some weight, and I also hoped to explore the countryside. So I agreed to join a local group of walkers around Aix-en-Provence called the International Hiking Club of Provence.Exercising in the gym was a dull choice in this beautiful place, and when the wind started to blow and the water temperature dropped suddenly, the romantic idea of an everyday sea swim would disappear in my mind. Luckily, that didn't happen very often.From time to time, the group organized imaginative hikes in the countryside around Aix---Mont St Victoire, The Luberon, The Calanques, The Durance valley and other places. The journey would be tough and tiring, and you need a good pair of walking shoes. At the same time, you also need an appetite （胃口） for amazing beauties and hearty conversations with local people and foreigners.My first walk led me down the side of a cliff （悬崖） to the Calanque of Sugiton. Those sea cliffs are the highest in France. It was a great challenge for legs and afterwards, I would enjoy a treat---a refreshing sea swim. Magic! Just our little group and a few locals shared the experience together.In another hike in Provence, the good smell of wild flowers led me up a local mountain in the Luberon.Lost in those beautiful flowers and the relaxing smell, I didn't even notice my tiredness. What a simple pleasure and treat for the senses!In Provence, there are hundreds of ways to explore through woods, valleys, and quiet meadows （草地）. Mont Ventoux---the largest mountain in the region is the next goal on my list. A friend goes there regularly by bike and loves it.My hiking experiences inspired the kids to try. They walked up Mont St Victoire and down a Calanque. They complained sometimes, but they also laughed a lot. And they couldn't wait to tell their friends about the experience.24. Why did the author join the group?A. To meet some new walkers.B. To swim in the sea with some friends.C. To learn how to lose some weight from others.D. To lose some weight and enjoy the countryside.25. Which of the following did the author do during her stay around Aix-en-provence?A. She swam in the sea every day.B. She exercised in the gym with others.C. She climbed mountains and went down cliffs.D. She worked as a guide to show foreigners around.26. What did the kids most probably think of walking up Mont St Victoire?A. Difficult but fun.B. Boring and tiring.C. Hard but meaningful.D. Relaxing and interesting.27. What would be the best title for the text?A. A Special Hiking Group in ProvenceB. The Joy of Hiking in ProvenceC. Some Attractions in Provence.D. A Trip to Provence with KidsCI ' ve been trying to write a journal about my visit to LEGO Movie World with my family. Now it is! It's 2019 and wevisited Legoland during our spring break. Since we only had five hours, we decided hitting our favorite places would be thefirst step of the tour.We really enjoyed our time in LEGO Movie World. If you haven't been there, I recommend it to you. There are somefantastic rides that you shouldn't miss.Ride 1: Unikitty's Disco Drop. Immediately to the left of the LEGO Movie World entrance, you can find Unikitty's DiscoDrop. Similar to the Beetle Bounce, this ride adds another touch of fun. As you move up and down the tower, the ride alsorotates （旋转）! The area is enjoyable as well, with all the crazy Unikitty color mixtures present.Ride 2: Masters of Flight. To the right of Unikitty's Disco Drop, there is a huge structure （建筑物）. Ifyou've seen The LEGO Movie , you'll recognize this structure as The Dog Cloud Cuckoo Land, where all the Master Buildersmeet.To get inside, you 'Il have to make your way around a maze （迷宫） to wait for your turn but LEGO does a great job tooffer you amusement a while you wait. You'll be greeted by some great structures and provided with a wall to leave yourmark on.Once finally inside the structure, you'll find the Masters of Flight ride. It begins as the seats rotate around and you will findyourself as part of the Emmet's Triple---Decker Couch Mech! While you experience THELEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part, get ready to feel like you're flying! You'll smell pine trees, the ocean, cotton candy andmore! It was certainly my favorite of all the new rides.At the end of the day, I felt Merlin Entertainment did an excellent job in repurposing this area to fit their idea of the LEGOMovie World. It looks fantastic. We are looking forward to coming back to this world.28. When the authors family experienced Unikitty's Disco Drop, ____ .A. they preferred it to the Beetle BounceB. they had to get through the maze firstC. they found the mixed colors unbeautifulD. they saw the ride rotate29.

The visit to LEGO Movie World.C. The excellent Merlin Entertainment.D. The review of THE LEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part.DWhen snack-food businessmen started selling fat-free products back in the 80s, they really achieved success.Consumers were interested in avoiding fat because it caused heart problems and made them fat. So the nonfat foods were adieter's dream! Fat-free chips and dairy products flew off the shelves. However, as it turned out, not many people becameslim and healthy from going on fat-free diets. In fact, not eating fat seemed to cause more health problems instead.There are many naturally fat- free foods. Fruits and vegetables are on the top of the list. They' relow in calories （ 卡路里 ） and are filled with beneficial vitamins （ 有益的维生素 ）. That ' s not the case with processed fat-free food.The problem with fat-free packaged food is that fat makes food taste good. With all the fat taken away, it tastes like cardboard. So, the producers have to add into all kinds of things to keep the taste ---like sugar, salt and artificial flavors （ 人造香精 ） Therefore, processed fat-free foods can actually end up containing more calories than the full- fat foods. Fruit canbe high in calories and sugar, too, but you nutrients （营养物 ） along with it. Processed fat- free foods don 't have a olotht eorf things.We know now that all fat is not evil. Fat helps control your nervous system and encourages bone health. Fat-free salad can actually make you lose your ability to process all the good nutrients in it.When you buy a fat-free product in the store, take a second to check the nutrient information on the package. If it contains sugar, salt or artificial favors --- or has more calories than the full-fat version---put it back on the shelf. Most of the time, you ' d be better -ef a tt ivnegr sthioen f,u wllhich tastes better and will satisfy you sooner---as long as you don't eat the whole box! 32. What is the difference between processed fat-free products and naturally fat-free foods? A. Naturally fat-free foods easily make people fat.B. Processed fat-free foods are usually low in calories.C. Processed fat-free foods are usually rich in vitamins.D. Naturally fat-free foods usually contain beneficial vitamins.33. What is the problem of fat-free packaged food mentioned in Paragraph 3?B. It has too few types.D. It tastes bad without other things added into it.“ evil ” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?C. Harmful.D. Dangerous.35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How to choose food wisely. B. How to live on a healthy diet.第二节 （共 5 小题 :每小题 2 分，满分 10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字）rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim—were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon（名人堂）of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiencesfrom all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.1．Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A．They were difficult to understand.B．They were popular among the rich.C．They were seen as nearly worthless.D．They were written mostly by women.2．Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A．his reputation in FranceB．his interest in modern artC．his success in publicationD．his importance in literature3．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To remember a great writer.B．To introduce an English novel.C．To encourage studies on culture.D．To promote values of the Victorian age.BEl Nifio, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nifio, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nifio in 1997 helped American’s economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱）in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施）can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道）make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Nino’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.4．What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?A．It is named after a South American fisherman.B．It takes place almost every year all over the world.C．It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.D．It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.5．What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?A．Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B．Droughts become more harmful than floods.C．Rich countries’ gains are greater than their losses.D．Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.6．The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that_________.A．more investment should go to risk reductionB．governments of poor countries need more aidC．victims of El Nino deserve more compensationD．recovery and reconstruction should come first7．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A．To introduce El Nino and its origin.B．To explain the consequences of El Nino.C．To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D．To urge people to prepare for El Nino.CFor Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion —they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”8．What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A．It promoted the sales of artworks. B．It attracted a large number of visitors.C．It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D．It aimed to introduce Chinese models.9．What does Hill say about Chinese women?A．They are setting the fashion. B．They start many fashion campaigns.C．They admire super models. D．They do business all over the world.10．What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?A．learning from B．looking down on C．working with D．competing against 11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB．A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC．Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD．Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsDCalifornia has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.12．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B．The increasing variety of California big trees.C．The distribution of big trees in California forests.D．The influence of farming on big trees in California.13．Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A．Ecological studies of forests.B．Banning woodcutting.C．Limiting housing development.D．Fire control measures.14．What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?A．Inadequate snowmelt. B．A longer dry season.C．A warmer climate. D．Dampness of the air.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D．Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年高考英语模拟卷及答案解析（全国卷）第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A．Kids' imaginations are in overdrive when it comes to composing Christmas lists - as they ask for a live walrus（海象）, the power of invisibility（隐身） and Taylor Swift. Christmas is less than two months away, and little ones are already planning their letters to Santa. But one survey has revealed the weirdest items to turn up on Christmas lists, and they include mythical monsters and mega-selling pop stars.Conducted by GAME, the study also reveals a significant break from festive tradition when it comes to writing wish lists. One in three, 29%, children now use technology such as iPads or mobile phones instead of the traditional pen and paper, while a further one in five (19%) will rely on parents to take note of all the things they point at during TV adverts and during trips to the shops. With more than three million lists likely to be drafted, parents are prepared for a flurry of requests including many that even Santa would struggle to achieve.As part of the study, parents were asked to reveal some of the weird and wonderful items that made it onto their child's Christmas lists.Fred Prego, marketing director at GAME, says: "Choosing what to get your kids at Christmas can be a bit of a minefield(雷区).” As the research shows, most kids will be making note of the things that they want this half term and a lot of lists are going to be written."21. The underlined word “overdrive” in paragraph one means _______.A. running with a high speedB. slowing down sometimesC. driving forth and backwardsD. getting stuck somewhere【答案】：A【解析】：根据背景可知，孩子们在选择圣诞礼物时，要求颇多，在脑风暴什么礼物时，想象力也十分充沛。
overdrive v.& n.大脑“高速运转”。
22. Which of the following is unlikely to be a gift taken into the list of a child?A. live walrusB. Taylor SwiftC. pens and erasersD. iPads and iPhones【答案】：C【解析】：本题【答案】主要在文章第二段。
根据原文可知，现在孩子们对礼物要求越来越高，多为高科技产品或难以实现的东西。
当然就不可能是传统的笔和橡皮了。

challenging adj.有挑战性的BCertain personality traits（特质） are often attributed to oldest, middle and youngest children. But a new study found that birth order itself had no effect on character, though it may slightly affect intelligence.Researchers analyzed three large ongoing collections of data including more than 20,000 people: a British study that follows the lives of people who were born in one particular week in 1958, a German study of private households started in 1984 and a continuing study of Americans born between 1980 and 1984.They searched for differences in extroversion（外向）, emotional stability, agreeableness（随和性）, conscientiousness（责任心）, self-reported intellect, IQ, imagination and openness to experience. They analyzed families with sisters and brothers, large and small age gaps and different numbers of siblings. But no matter how they spliced the data, they could find no association of birth order with any personality characteristic.The study, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, did find evidence that older children have a slight advantage in IQ scores, but the difference was apparent only in a largesample, with little significance for any individual. The lead author, Julia M. Rohrer, a graduate student at the University of Leipzig, said that birth order can have an effect — if your older brother bullie d you, for example.” But these effects are highly idiosyncratic（个例）,” she said. “There is no such thing as a typical older, middle or younger sibling. It’s important to stop believing that you are the way you are because of birth order.”24. According to the first paragraph, _______.A. We should attribute personality traits to oldest childrenB. There isn’t much relation between birth order and characterC. Birth order can strongly affect your intelligence level. D. Birth order makes no difference to intelligence【答案】：B【解析】：本题为细节题。
