In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history of theareas that we toured, she spoke excellent English and was able to answer all of our questions. Her driver was very experienced and polite, and we really enjoyed being able to have a customized tour that avoided the tourist traps and forced shopping that seem to be a part of the larger group tours.The attractions themselves were fantastic. I was a little worried that the snowy weather might impact our trip to the Great Wall, but everything went fine, and there weren’t many people out at all that day. I suggest wearing strong shoes—the Great Wall is really a hike. And in snowy or rainy days, the surfaces are pretty slippery (滑的)! Seeing this area in winter was really unique, and the snow made for great pictures. Jessie kept us entertained with stories and facts about the construction of the Wall, and always pointed out great spots for taking pictures. Even though she’s in fantastic shape, she cared about our level of fitness and often stopped to let us catch our breath.When we got back to our hotel, Jessie gave us a great recommendation for dinner and some tips for our planned stops the next day. If I find myself in Beijing in the future, I will certainly be contacting Jessie for more tour opportunities, and I’ve already recommended her to some friends who are visiting the area later in the year. I can’t say enough about how kind and knowledgeable she was, and she really gave us a great tour experience.4. What can we infer about Jessie?A. She is a tour advisor.B. She is a tour guide.C. She is a foreign traveler.D. She is a skilled driver.5. When did the writer visit the Great Wall?A. In spring.B. In summer.C. In autumn.D. In winter.6. What did the writer think of his tour?A. Adventurous.B. Disappointing.C. Satisfactory.D. Improvable.7. What is the probable title for the text?A. A Wonderful Tour Day with JessieB. An Extraordinary Tour CompanyC. The Great Wall, an Excellent AttractionD. Jessie, a Kind and Knowledgeable GuideCTrue friend from a distant landInternational friends can come in many shapes and sizes. However they arrive on the scene, they are always appreciated, especially in times ofturbulence. Michael Lindsay (1909 — 94) is a case in point.After graduating from the University of Oxford in 1931, Lindsay arrived in China in 1937 on a ship from Canada intending merely to teach economics at Beiping Yenching University, the current Peking University. He traveled with Norman Bethune the Canadian doctor who dedicated his life to medicine in China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931 — 45).Lindsay left Beijing at the end of 1941, and went to the Communist-led Jinchaji base(晋察冀边区)together with his wife Li Xiaoli, who was a Shanxi local and a former student of his.“Lindsay was inspired by the hard work local Chinesepeople made in fighting against Japanese aggression. After learning that Chinese armies on the frontlines were suffering supply shortages, Lindsay was determined to lend a hand," says Yan Juhai, a retired official from Shanxi's Lyuliang city. "In the Jinchaji base, NieRongzhen( 1899 — 1992), the base's top commander, appointed him to work as the communications expert, where he became a full-time radio technician contributing greatly in communication technology innovation and training," says Yan.In 1944 Lindsay and his wife arrived in Yan'an in Shaanxi province and helped fix its telecommunication equipment. They stayed for 18 months in Yan'an, and after the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, they decided to return to the United Kingdom to visit their parents.8. Which word in the following can best replace the underlined word?A. peaceB. warC. stressD. sorrow9. Why did Lindsay go to the Communist-led Jinchaji base according to Yan Juhai?A.

Lindsay was appointed as the communications consultant in Shanxi province.D. Lindsay taught economics in the Jinchaji base besides his work as a radio expert.11. Where is the text probably from?A. a guidebookB. a novelC. a diaryD. a newspaperDIn May this year, as part of our 150th anniversary, we asked readers aged between18 and 25 to enter an essay competition. The task was to tell us, in no more than 1,000 words, what scientific advance they would most like to see in their lifetimes, and why it mattered to them.The response was phenomenal: we received 661 entries. Some entrants hoped that science would make their lifetimes much longer than they can currently expect. Many looked forward to work that will end climate change. Others wanted to see advances in our understanding of human history, crop growth, space exploration, and medical technologies. The ideas were inspiring.The winner is a compelling essay by Yasmin Ali, a PhD student at the University of Nottingham, UK. Ali submitted a piece on Beethoven, her brother’s hearing loss and the science which she hoped would one day cure it. It stood out to the judges as a reminder of why many scientists do research: to make the world better tomorrow than it is today.All essays were judged by a group of Nature editors. The top ten submissions were then ranked by three members of a separate judging group: Magdalena Skipper, editor-in-chief of Nature; Faith Osier, a researcher; and Jess Wade, a physicist. All submissions were kept anonymous throughout the process.We also selected two runners-up(非冠军的获奖者).Physicist Robert Schittkoat Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, proposes that nuclear fusion(核聚变) could offer a solution to the climate crisis, in a piece that effortlessly mixes grand ambition with gentle humour. And chemist Matthew Zajac at the University of Chicagoin Illinois wrote a powerful personal account of why he wants to see advances in the field of same-sexreproduction.The results show that today’s young scientists have a wealth of ideas, talent and conviction that research can transform their world. We look forward to seeing what they do next.12. What’s the essay competition about?A. The scientific expectation.B. The fantastic scientific ideas.C. The dreams of future life.D. The celebration of anniversary.13. Why Yasmin Ali was chosen the winner?A. She showed great talent in music.B. She found the cure for the loss of hearing.C. She appealed for people to care about hearing loss problem.D. She reminded people to remember the meaning of science development.14. What can we learn about the result of the essay competition?A. Robert Schittko won the second place.B. There were two winners in the essay competition.C. Matthew Zajac presented his view of same-sex reproduction.D. The two runners-up were selected for the same field they chose.15. What isthe author’s attitude to the competitors’ ideas about science expectations?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Impossible.D. Ignorant.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

In severe cases, dengue can even be deadly. Dengue is a serious disease affecting people in around 120 countries. It can cause high fevers, headaches, and severe pain. It’s caused by a virus spread by bites from mosquitoes. Therefore, dengue is more common in warm areas. Every year, roughly 390 million people get dengue, and as many as 25,000 die from it.Now scientists seem to have found a way to protect humans from dengue by first protecting mosquitoes. Dengue fever is caused by a virus. Though it may seem strange to think of it this way, the mosquitoes that spread the dengue virus are also infected with it. But the virus doesn’t seem to hurt the mosquitoes.Wolbachia is a kind of bacteria commonly found in many insects. In some insects, Wolbachia can keep some viruses fromduplicatingthemselves, which is how viruses grow inside a body. Wolbachia isn’t naturally found in mosquitoes. But by infecting these mosquitoes with Wolbachia, scientists can keep the mosquitoes from catching the dengue virus. Even better, the young mosquitoes coming from the eggs of the infected mosquitoes also carry Wolbachia.Researchers working with the World Mosquito Program (WMP) ran a 27-month study in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. They split a 10-square-mile area up into 24 smaller areas. In half of the areas, the scientists did nothing. In the other half, they set out containers of eggs from mosquitoes that had Wolbachia. They did this every twoweeks for just 4 to 6 months.Ten months later, 80% of the mosquitoes in the treated areas carried Wolbachia. The researchers report the number of dengue cases in the treated areas was reduced by 77% and that the number of people needing hospital care for dengue dropped by 86%.Because the results of the experiment were so good, the WHO has placed Wolbachia-infected mosquito eggs in all parts of Yogyakarta and surrounding areas. The WHO says that within a year, their efforts will protect 2.5 million people against dengue and that their efforts will be turned into a program that can be repeated worldwide.4. What kind of disease is dengue?A. It is likely to cause death.B. It causes no pain but fevers.C. It happens less often in hot areas.D. It hurts both people and mosquitoes.5. The underlined word “duplicating” in paragraph 3 most probably means “________”.A. worsening the harm ofB. expanding the size ofC. increasing forces ofD. making copies of6. What can be inferred about the method from the figures listed in paragraph 5?A. Its wide use.B. Its effectiveness.C. Its complexity.D.Its easy operation.7. What’s the WHO’s attitude towards the method?A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Tolerant.D. Skeptical.CWhere doyou usually put your toothbrush?Do you keep it in the bathroom? How’s your toothbrush looking these days? Even if you can’t see it with a naked eye, experts say it may be saturated(使饱和)with millions of toilet germs!Dr. Charles Oerba, a germ expert, is amicrobiology professor at the University of Arizona. He says there are approximately 3 million bacteria per square inch in most toilet bowls, and every time you flush it without closing the lid, those millions of bacteria droplets spray into the air as far as twenty feet away and dirty everything in their path. And a common victim is your poor toothbrush, usually, left out on the bathroom sink, right?So, what do we do? Dr. Gerba says it’s easy. Close the toilet lid before you flush—that’ll greatly cut downthe germs, which will otherwise float in the air. And wash your toothbrush every few days in mouthwash or peroxide to get rid of any germs hiding in it. You can even put it through the dishwasher to sanitize(消毒)it. And always store your toothbrush in a closed cabinet.Here’s one more tip from Dr. Gerba, who says our kitchen sink is probably dirtier than our toilet. “If an alien came from space and studied the bacterial counts, he probably would conclude he should wash his hands in your toilet and go to the bathroom in your sink.” He says that’s because the kitchen sink is a great place where E. coli(大肠杆菌)to live and grow since it’s wet and damp. Bacteria feed on the food that people put down the drain or—that’s left on dishes in the sink. To reset your sink’s bacteria count back to zero, you’d better regularly wash it with hot water and sanitize yoursink with special chemicals. In fact, you may want to do it every day or before preparing dinner.8. What is the purpose of the text?A. To show how to brush your teeth.B. To tell people the importance of health.C. To warn people of the invisible germs.D. To introduce a microbiology professor.9. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Bathroom sinks are the dirtiest places.B. Bacteria are bad for people’s health.C. Why bacteria spread through the air.D. How bacteria spread in the bathroom.10. What does the underlined word“that”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The food.B. The toothbrush.C. The sink.D. The chemical.11. Why does Dr. Gerba mention the example of an alien?A. To tell us a fiction story of an alien studying bacteria.B. To show our kitchen sink may be dirtier than our toilet.C. To teach us how to reset sink’s bacteria count back to zero.D. To prove coli prefers to live in the kitchen and the drain.DAfter a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say, “Missionaccomplished!” Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from theNetherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.Dekker had wanted to lake on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13,but a court in theNetherlandsstopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn’t spend all of her time at sea—she stopped at ports along the way—she did spend her 16lh birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.But Dekker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children fromattempting such dangerous feats (壮举). But that didn’t stop Dekker，who was born on a yacht during a seven-year world voyage undertaken by her parents.Dekker doesn’t mind that she won’t hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it.“I am not disappointed at all that Guinness World Record won’t recognize my attempt.” Dekker wrote on her website. “I did not start on my trip to achieve any record…I did it just for myself.”12. Dekker wasn’t allowed to sail at the age of 13 because .A. people were concerned about her safetyB.she didn’t learn any sailing skills wellC. she had to continue her study at schoolD. she didn’t have enough patience for long trips13. What does the underlined word “accomplished” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Failed.B. Completed.C. Continued.D. Started.14. In 2009 records for youngest sailors were canceled in order to .A. set a higher sailing standard for teen sailorsB. stop children entering Guinness World RecordsC. encourage parents to sail with their childrenD. prevent children making dangerous attempts15. What could be the best title for this passage?A. A New Guinness World Record in SailingB. A New Sailing Standard for Teen SailorsC. A Teen Girl Sailing Alone Aroundthe WorldD. The Youngest Sailor in Guinness World Records第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

He was 73. Steinman's brother Billconfirmed that the cause of death was kidney (肾) failure.A statement posted on Steinman's Facebook page read, “It's with a heavy heart that I can confirm Jim's passing. There will be much more to say in the coming hours and days as we prepare to honor this giant of a human being and his glorious legacy.”Steinman's wholly unique career found him working as a composer, lyricist, and producer for many artists in a variety of styles. According to a biography on his website, the records he's worked on have sold more than 190 million copies worldwide. He was nominated (提名) for four Grammys, and won Album of the Year for his work on Dion's 1996 smash,Falling Into You.Steinman began his career in a musical theater while in college, writing and starring in a rock musical calledThe Dream Engine, which gained the attentionof New York theatrical producer Joe Papp. After graduating, Steinman worked at the Public Theater (which was established by Papp). In 1973, Yvonne Elliman recorded Steinman's song “Happy Ending”, which became Steinman's first commercially released tune. That same year, the Public Theater staged his musicalMore Than You Deserve.One of the actors who auditioned forMore Than You Deservewas Meat Loaf, and he and Steinman soon struck up a close personal and professional relationship. The two began working on Meat Loaf's solo album,Bat Out of Hell, in the early 70s, but it wouldn't be released until 1977. It wasn't until about one year later — after Meat Loaf performed onSaturday Night Live— that the album became a hit.“There is no other songwriter ever like him,” Meat Loaf said. “I can never repay him.

Birds also face extinction.The Arctic terns,a species evolved to fly across the world on4000kmannual journeys，are on their last migration (迁徙) to Antarctica.The Last Migrationby the Sydney-based writer Charlotte McConaghy is a different sort of climate novel，one in which the heroine's(女主人公)damaged soul is as much a story as the damaged environment This is McConaghy's first work of literary fiction,after a history publishing in science fiction and a romantic fantasy series."I wanted to try and engage with the climate crisis closely,"she said."It's hard to nail down where he book came from.But I had Toni Morrison's words in my head:'If there's a book you really want to read,but i hasn't been written yet,then you must write it.'I love that. It really speaks to me.""I wanted to write about the way the natural world is disappearing but I didn't know a way in."The way in”, she says, was to"go travelling.I went to Ireland and Iceland,and thought about these incredible journeys of the ternsand these people who study hes journeys."The book became a story of a double journey: the migration of the birds,and a broken woman's travelling to the end of the earth.Much of the book is told in flashbacks, the action jumping between the south coast of New South Wales to the west coast of Ireland and to Greenland."I've always been fascinated with Ireland: the landscape, the people and the poetry and music.I was fascinated with writing a character from there. It was a way to connect more with the place."McConaghy says she also wanted to have a character who was"of two places"."I had lived in 21 houses by the time I was 21, as a result I definitely know how it feels to feel as if you are not sure where you belong and feeling as if you are between two worlds."8.

One was marked with Chip’s name and a greeting for his Special day, November 5.“So,” when he came running out the door, she said, “You must be Chip!” And he said,“Yes.” She said, “Today’s your birthday?” And he started smiling. Shelley said, “So, let me see if I can find you something for your birthday.”She checked her pocket and surprised him with a gift: a dollar bill and four quarters.On this day, the 42-year-old postwoman made one little boy very happy. “He was very excited,” said his mom, Bonnie. “He came running back in the house just waving his money.” Chip is saving up to buy a Spider-man action figure.“Our family has had money problems since I lost my job. Gestures like that are valuable memories.” Her hope is that Chip and his eight-year-old sister, Bennett, will remember this when they grow up. “Not the ugly that is out there right now, but the good and the kind and the giving.”A photo of a smiling Chip and Shelley next to the mail truck has been shared widely on social media.

2020年济宁市第一中学高三英语模拟试卷及答案

2020年济宁市第一中学高三英语模拟试卷及答案第一部分阅读（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AA 21-year-old female student has become the youngest womanever to be elected as Mayor (市长) after first entering politics to campaign about food.Labor Party (工党) member Rosie Corrigan was elected as Mayor of Selby a market town in North Yorkshire, on Monday. The student’s election was unchallenged to the mayoralty, following a year serving as deputy mayor. Corrigan has just finished her second year studying politics at theUniversityofHull. A political activist since secondary school, lifelong Selby citizen Corrigan has always been ambitious. As a member of the UK Youth Parliament, she co-founded the Selby Youth council, and then went on to run for and win the local council election as a Labour candidate (候选人) aged just 18.Corrigan plan to use her year in office to further encourage political awareness in the youth of Selby. By breaking a political record of being the youngest woman ever elected inUKhistory, Corrigan hopes this will break the misunderstanding of Selby being a sleepy town with old-fashioned views. “It’s an honor to be the Mayor of my lovely hometown,” Corrigan told a newspaper. “I plan on using the year to encourage children and young people to champion their communities.”The politics student’s election has been supported whole heartedly by the politicians she has worked with throughout her early-developing career, including thebackingof former deputy Prime Minister (副首相) John Prescott. Simon Darvill said in an interview, “I hope that the success of Rosie and others like her encourages more young people to get involved in politics and change where they live for the better.”1. Which statement is true according to Paragraph 2?A. Corrigan is new to the political scene of Selby.B. Corrigan became interested in politics in childhood.C. Corrigan has been living in Selby since she was born.D. Corrigan founded the Selby Youth council by herself.2. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. Corrigan plans to further her time in office by at least a year.B. The people of Selby are passive and have out-of-date views.C. Corrigan is the youngest person ever elected inUKhistory.D. Corrigan intends to increase Selby’s youth’spolitical involvement.3. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “backing” in Paragraph 4?A. ApprovalB. AppreciationC. PraiseD. SupportBCuckoos don’t bother building their own nests—they just lay eggs that perfectly imitate those of other birds and take over their nests. But other birds are wishing up, evolving some seriously impressive tricks to spot the cuckoo eggs.Cuckoos are often know asparasites, meaning that they hide their eggs in the nest of other species. To avoid detection, the cuckoos have evolved so that eggs seem reproduction of those of their preferred targets. If the host bird doesn’t notice the strange egg in its nest, the little cuckoo will actually take the entire nest for itself after it comes out, taking the other eggs on its back and dropping them out of the nest.To avoid this unpleasant fate for their young, the other birds have evolved a few smart ways to spot the fakes, which we’re only now beginning to fully understand. One of the most amazing finds is that birds have an extra colour-sensitive cell in their eyes, which makes them far more sensitive to ultraviolet wavelengths and allows them to see a far greater range of colours than humans can. This allows cautious birds to detect a fake egg which might be exactly the same to our eyes.Fascinatingly, we’re actually able to observe different bird species at very different points in their evolutionary war with the cuckoos. For instance, some cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of the redstarts. The blue eggs these cuckoos lay are practically alike to those of the redstarts, and yet they are still sometimes rejected. Compare that with cuckoos who target dunnocks. While those birds lay perfectly blue eggs, their cuckoo invaders just lay white eggs with brown irregular shaped spots. And yet dunnocks barely ever seem to notice the obvious trick.Biologists suspect these more easily fooled species like the dunnocks are on the same evolutionary path as the redstarts, but they have a long way to go until they evolve the same levels of suspicion. What’s remarkable is that the dunnocks fakes are so bad and the redstart ones so good, and yet cuckoos are still more successful with the former than the latter.It speaks to just how thoroughly a species’ behavior can be changed by the pressures of natural selection, or it might just be a bit of strategic cooperation on the part of the dunnocks. Biologists have suggested that thesebirds are willing to tolerate a parasite every so often because they don’t want to risk accidentally getting rid of one of their own eggs.4. This passage can be most likely found in a ________.A. science surveyB. nature magazineC. zoo advertisementD. travel journal5. What does the underlined word “parasite” in paragraph 2 most probably refer to?A. Animals that work together to raise young.B. Small harmful animals such as worms or mice.C. Animals that can adapt to changing environments.D. Animals which live on or inside other host animals.6. Which of the following is TRUE about the dunnock according to the passage?A. It is colour-blind and therefore cannot identify foreign eggs in the nest.B. It can easily remove cuckoo eggs from the nest because fakes are so bad.C. It is a host bird that is more likely to raise a cuckoo chick than the redstart.D. It is unable to evolve and hence accepts cuckoo eggs that appear in the nest.7. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Dunnocks may eventually learn to recognise foreign eggs.B. Redstarts seem to be less suspicious compared to dunnocks.C. Cuckoo birds are good at taking responsibility for their own young.D. It is very easy for cuckoos to imitate the colouring of the dunnock’s egg.CThe mass death of flying foxes in extreme heat in North Queensland last month underlines the importance ofUniversityofQueenslandwildliferesearch released today.The UQ research sheds light on how various species have responded to major climate events.A study led by UQ School of Earth and Environmental Science researcher Dr Sean Maxwell has spent more than 70 years quantifying the responses of various species.“The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as cyclones, droughts and floods is causing unpredictable and immediate changes to ecosystems and blocking existing management efforts,” Dr Maxwell said.“Some of the negative responses we found were quite concerning, including more than 100 cases of dramatic population declines and 31 cases of local population extinction following an extreme event.”"Populations of critically endangered bird species inHawaii, such as the palia, have been annihilated due to drought, leaving none of its kind, and populations of lizard species have been wiped out due to cyclones in theBahamas."Cyclones were the most common extreme event for birds, fish, plants and reptiles, while mammals and amphibians were most responsive to drought events, with drought leading to 12 cases of major population decline in mammals.Drought also led to 13 cases of breeding declines in bird populations and 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate communities.UQ Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science director Professor James Watson said the detailed information would help inform ecosystem management.“The research clearly shows species will respond, often negatively, to extreme events,” Professor Watson said.“As climate change continues to ensure extreme climate and weather events are more and more common,we now need to act to ensure species have the best chance to survive.Wherever possible, high quality and intact habitat areas should be retained, as these are the places where species are most resilient(易恢复的) to increasing exposure to extreme events.”8. How was the UQ researchconducted?A. By observing extreme weather events.B. By protecting the endangered species.C. By recording reactions of animals to extreme climate.D. By analyzing the reason whymass animal death happened.9. What does the underlined word “annihilated” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. destroyedB. defeatedC. decreasedD. disappeared10. Which of the following sentences is true about extreme weather events?A. Drought caused 13 cases of distinctionin bird populations.B. Drought caused 12 cases of population decline in mammals.C. Birds and mammals are most responsive to cyclones.D. Cyclones wiped out populations of lizard.11. What can we infer from Professor Watson’s words?A. Animals often show negative responses to extreme events.B. The existing management ways for wildlife protection are limited.C. Different methods should be adopted to ensure the survival of different species.D. Complete and undamaged habitats are of great importance to species’ survival.DFirst grader Gavin Clampett was diagnosed(诊断) with Tourette’s Syndrome at the age of five. Due to the neurological(神经的) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. In an effort to prevent the unkind comments, Gavin’s mother, 32yearold Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn, nine, and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.In the video, which Rebecca also shared on YouTube, Gavin’s sister Brynn starts by answering the question “What is Tourette’s Syndrome?” She explains, “It is a neurological disorder, which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements. These are called tics(抽搐), but not like a tic that is found outside. These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable, quiet or loud.”School can be hard for all kids. That canbe even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day. “I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourette’s Syndrome are brave. So be kind to them and don’t treat them differently because they are just like you”, Brynn says in the video.Gavin concludes, “Everyone could play with someone. Some people think I can’t because I’m different but actually I can. Some are afraid that I will say dirty words, but actually I won’t. The disease bothers me a little, but I’m OK.”12. What can we know about Tourette’s Syndrome?A. It can be treated with drugs.B. It is usually found at an early age.C. People with it will say dirty words.D. People with it can make uncontrolled sounds.13. Because of the disease, others often _________.A. take pity on GavinB. give a hand to GavinC. keep away from GavinD. look down upon Gavin14. In the video, Gavin’s sister __________.A. explains her brother’s diseaseB. expresses her love for her brotherC. complains about unkind commentsD. encourages others to donate money15. What can be used to best describe Gavin?A. Lucky.B. Helpless.C. Optimistic.D. Stubborn.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

They built confidence and character．D. They knew the sea better．CHadi Partovi，founder of Code．org believes every student should learn the basics of computer science just like they do math，physics，or biology，regardless of what they want to do in the future．The expert says knowledge about the subject is important to understand how the world around us works and compares it to learning about photosynthesis（光合作用），even thoughnot every student is going to be a botanist．To spark students'interest，he created the"Hour of Code，"which introduces the world of computing to anyone，from ages 14 to 104，in a fun，interactive manner．Observed annually during Computer Science Week，the event now draws tens of millions of kids from over 180 countries．The"Hour of Code"，which can be scheduled anytime during Computer Science Week，begins with an introductory video on computer science．Participants can then select from hundreds of fun assignments that are sorted by both grade level and coding experience．Though each project is designed to last just sixty minutes，beginners can deal with as many challenges as they desire．To help introduce computer science in classrooms on a more regular basis，Code．org has also developed a catalog of online courses that can be incorporated（纳入）in a school's regular curriculum．Since the nonprofit began offering the courses in 2013，over 704，000 teachers have signed up to teach introductory computer science to over 22 million students worldwide．Thanks to the efforts of the pioneer，about 40 percent of US schools now offer computer science as a subject．The numbers are even higher-an impressive 70 percent-if after-school offerings such as robotics clubs are included．Even more encouraging，eight years ago，just 19，390 students took an Advanced Placement Computer Science exam．By the spring of 2017，the number had jumped 415 percent to 99，868．8.Why did Hardi Partovi create the"Hour of Code"？______A. To train computer scientists for the future．B. To introduce the world of computing to teachers．C. To add a programme to Computer Science Week．D. To help people learn computer science in a fun way．9.The"Hour of Code"is so called most probably because ______ ．A. it is observed annuallyB. it can be scheduled anytimeC. its projects last sixty minutes eachD. its tasks can be sorted by coding experience10.What do we know about Code．org's online courses？______A. Schools can use them regularly in their classrooms．B. They help the developer make lots of money．C. Over 704，000 teachers have been learning them．D. They have existed for over 10 years up to now．11.What do the numbers show in the last paragraph？______A. The efforts of Hadi Partovi．B. The influence of robotics clubs．C. The effect of Hadi Partovi's efforts．D. The development of many US schools．DWood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material．It is cheap，durable，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable．The one thing it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list．Lead researcher Dr，Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices．The team began by pulling out the wood's lignin（木质素）．The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer（聚合物）and baked at a temperature of 158°F for four hours．The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent．The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood．While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips，the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications．The researchers，who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11，picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light，or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy．Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings．Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels．The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor，thus resulting in better solar efficiency．Additionally，substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost．They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use．12.What does the underlined part"that feature"in Paragraph 1 refer to？______A. Cheap．B. Durable．C. Sustainable．D. Transparent．13.Which of the following correctly shows the process in which the transparent wood is made？______①Dip the wood into a polymer．②Adjust the amount of the polymer．③Make the wood lignin-free．④Bake the wood for some time．A. ③→①→④→②B. ③→①→②→④C. ①→②→③→④D. ④→③→②→①14.Which of the following is true according to the text？______A. Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper．B. Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood's hardness．C. The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings．D. The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down．15.What is the last paragraph mainly about？______A. The bright future of the transparent wood．B. The wood's role in the design of solar panels．C. The disadvantages of the currently used glass．D. Solar energy manufacturers'carbon footprint．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Where you choose to stay can make or break your vacation experience．But even the most experienced travelers may not know the difference between the two main types ofhomes-away-from-home-hotels and motels．(1) The answer isn't as simple as you'd think．These two types of lodging（住宿）have the same basic purpose-a place for travelers to sleep ．(2) For instance，they came to be for different reasons，and at very different times．The word"hotel"dates back to the 1600s and comes from a French word，hôtel．That word，just like the English one．referred to a place that provides lodging，meals，entertainment，and other services to travelers．(3) This word dates back to the 1920s and combines the words"hotel"and"motor．"As America's major highway system developed，so did motels，filling the need for roadside stops for motorists traveling cross-country．(4) Hotels tend to be built for longer stays，while motels are intended more for one-ortwo-night stops along a journey．Because of this，hotels are much more likely to have offerings like lounges，gyms，and entertainment．(5) Want the place you stay to be just as much a part of your travel experience as anything else ？Choose a hotel，Just need a place to pop in and out of to shower and sleep？A motel might be the better choice．A．There are many secrets that hotels won't tell you．B．But there are plenty of features that set them apart．C．Have you ever stayed in a motel on your vacation？D．Motels，on the other hand，are a much more recent lodging option．E．Besides their first letters，is there any real difference between them？F．So，in the end，it comes down to what you want from your trip and from your lodging．G．There are also other differences that can help you figure out which type of place you're in．16.

2020年山东省济宁一中高考英语一模试卷

2020年山东省济宁一中高考英语一模试卷第一部分阅读（共两节，满分37.5分）第一节（共4小题；每小题2.5分．满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项．1．（7.5分）Six years ago，Sam Shapiro's family adopted a 15﹣year﹣old boy from Cite Soleil，Haiti．A few years later，in June 2015，Shapiro wanted to learn more about where his brother grew up，so he visited his brother's hometown．What Shapiro saw was a small city where 100 percent of the population lived in poverty．He saw homeless children with no access to education，activities or safe spaces to play．He also saw a run﹣down，abandoned basketball court．Shapiro couldn't fix everything．But he could do something．"I thought athletics could be used to give kids opportunities for organized activities that could keep them off the streets，" said Shapiro．A year after his first visit，Shapiro returned to Cite Soleil with his friend Jack Moe．Thenext month，Shapiro and Moe ﹣then 16﹣year﹣old sophomores （大二学生）at the Blake School ﹣formed a nonprofit，called "Sprint to Cite Soleil"，to benefit the city's youth．The core program of Sprint to Cite Soleil is basketball，but it also consists of nutrition and community﹣building to benefit children aged 5 to 18．"Our mission originally was to provide a new basketball court，" said Moe．"But we soon realized that a lot of kids wanted to play basketball，and more than just a court was needed．We sent jerseys，basketballs，basketball pumps and shoes．Hundreds of kids showed up for a clinic．"They soon hired 10 coaches and four cooks to prepare nutritious meals for the 160 boys and girls who train every Saturday and Sunday．And they hired director Joseph Sadrack， a local native，whom Shapiro calls "trustworthy and right for the leadership position …"From the start，Shapiro，Moe and Sadrack agreed on how the program should develop．"We are very much a partnership，" said Shapiro．"Personally，I've seen a lot of organizations trying to help in foreign countries．They have their own mindset and want to do things their way．""I'm not living there，" he continued．"I don't know what they need．Before any decision is made，we ask Joseph，‘What can we do？' and，‘What do they need？'"Now sophomores in college ﹣Shapiro at Wake Forest University in North Carolina and Moe at Stanford in California ﹣they continue their work as co﹣presidents of the nonprofit．Shapiro said it's been a rewarding experience．"I'm proud that，despite the somewhat of a language and cultural barrier，we're able to communicate，" said Shapiro．"I'm proud that others believe in us and trust us．That's what we're most proud of．Being able to create it and maintain it．"（1）Why did Shapiro go to Haiti？A．To visit his brother．B．To do a part﹣time job．C．To help his family adopt a kid．D．To learn about his brother's hometown．（2）What do we know about Sprint to Cite Soleil？A．It is only run by two American boys．B．It makes profits from the local government．C．It stopped after Shapiro became a sophomore．D．It provides resources for children and teens．（3）What does Shapiro learn from the program？A．The language barrier is a big problem．B．It will be great for his future career．C．It is difficult but gives him a good feeling．D．It is too expensive but he will continue．2．（10分）I still remember I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010．We were in the fallout of the recession （经济衰退）．She said a polite "no"．That didn't stop me．I Googled the measurements for a keyboard，drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk．I would click notes on an online keyboard and "play"them back on my paper one ﹣keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head．I spent six months playing without touching a real piano．Once my mom saw that I wasserious，she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons．I still remember the first one．I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was．I sat my grade one after eight lessons．Once I started secondary school，we couldn't afford lessons again．I passed grade three，then grade five，practicing only on my piece of paper．One evening，when I was about 13，my mom said she had a surprise for me；it was an electronic keyboard，bought with more borrowed money．It was the first time I'd played for her．She was in shock．My school didn't offer music A﹣level．I found the Purcell School for young musicians．The tryouts were difficult．Some of the questions involved an estimation （评价）of the composer or when it was written．I felt overwhelmed．To my amazement I was offered a place．At Purcell，I spent two years working as hard as I could．I performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano．When I left Purcell，I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize．I am now at the Guildhall School in London．I feel proud：it's been 10 years since I drew my paper piano，and I'm at one of the world's leading music schools．The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano：what we call mental practice．The paper piano helped spark my curiosity about how music works，the building blocks that form the pieces．（1）Why did the author's mom buy him lessons at last？A．She suddenly made a fortune．B．She had no doubt of his talent for piano．C．She realized he meant what he said．D．She was shocked by his first performance．（2）Which of the following can best describe the author？A．honest and practical．B．determined and hardworking．C．humorous and reliable．D．rebellious and pessimistic．（3）The word "irony" in the last paragraph shows that the author was．A．surprisedB．absurdC．satisfiedD．curious（4）What's the author's main purpose of writing this article？A．To introduce the method of mental practice．B．To share how he convinced his mom to buy a piano．C．To encourage people to stick to their dreams．D．To describe how costly it is to learn an instrument．3．（10分）We say that technology is a double﹣edged sword ﹣while it brings convenience，it also brings new problems．The sword of "social media" even has a gender preference in its damage：It cuts deeper into girls than boys．Earlier studies have shown that spending too much time on social media is bad for teenagers' mental health．Constantly watching their friends show off "perfect" lives can hurt their own self﹣esteem．That's not to mention the problems caused by online shaming and bullying．Jean Twenge，a professor at San Diego State University in the US，recently discovered an alarming trend：Since 2010，the number of teenage girls who suffer from major depression ﹣showing signs like self﹣harm and suicide ﹣has increased much faster than that of boys．In an article she wrote at The Conversation，Twenge said social media，again，was to blame．For starters，girls use social media more than boys．Boys tend to spend their screen time on games，where they talk to their teammates through headphones．This counts as real human contact．Girls，however，simply type and browse through posts，which is a much more isolated experience．"They're not having a real﹣time conversation with someone，"Mary Fristad，psychologist at The Ohio State University，told NPR．And when it comes to online shaming，girls are also more vulnerable than boys．"Girls face more pressure about their appearance，which could be exacerbated （加重）by social media，" wrote Twenge．Shannon McLaughlin，for example，is an 18﹣year﹣old from Blackburn College in the US．She shared with the Guardian how social media made her feel depressed．"I was constantly confronted by women with skinny bodies who were praised for the way they looked．This was only made worse by the diet fixes and skinny culture，" she said．But McLaughlin found a solution．She started volunteering with the National Citizen Service，where she made face﹣to﹣face contact with people．"It's so easy to forget the importance of real connections when we have hundreds of people that we're trying to impress at our fingertips，" she told the Guardian．And she hopes that others "look up from their phones and focus more on the world around them"．（1）What did Twenge find in her recent study？A．Overuse of social media harms teenagers' mental health．B．Social media does more harm to girls than boys．C．Girls suffered more from bullying than boys．D．Online shaming and bullying are to blame for teenagers' depression．（2）Why do girls tend to feel more isolated than boys online，according to Mary Fristad？A．Girls have less real﹣time interaction with people．B．Playing games allows boys to have more fun than girls．C．Girls suffer more pressure on social media．D．Girls usually desire more contact with others．（3）The underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ""．A．adjusting oneself wellB．fighting back bravelyC．being unconcerned about somethingD．being likely to be at risk of something（4）What does McLaughlin advise teenage girls to do？A．Ignore social media and stop following a diet．B．Connect more with the real world．C．Constantly take part in volunteer work．D．Make better use of phones for socializing．4．（10分）On the summer of 1995，a second﹣year graduate student named Sergey Brin was giving a tour of Stanford University to prospective students．Larry Page，an engineering graduate from the University of Michigan，was one of those being shown around the campus．"We both found each other obnoxious and annoying with strong opinions about things，"said Brin．"But we said it a little bit jokingly．Obviously，we spent a lot of time talking to each other，so there was something there．"The technology of the web at the time meant that people could tell where a webpage linked to just by reading its code．However，to get a complete list of every page to which it linked，they needed to check every other website on the Internet．Page's "BackRub" project aimed to qualify these backlinks （反向链接）．It was a complex task that not only demanded vast computing resources，but also required extremely complex mathematics，which was where the math genius Brin came in．Later，Page and Brin came up with the PageRank algorithm ﹣a ranking system which would prove to be a breakthrough idea．And then，BackRub became Google，a play on the term "googol，" meaning "10100．" The system successfully enabled users to search all 24 million pages stored in its database．On September 15，1997，Google．com was registered．In August 1998，it got its first funding in the form of a check for ﹩100，000 written by Andy Bechtolsheim，co﹣founder of Sun Microsystems，to "Google Inc．" But still there were troubles．Later that month，Page and Brin moved into the garage （车库）of friend Susan Wojcicki （now the CEO of YouTube），and received further investment from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos，among others．Early in 1999，Page and Brin attempted to sell Google to Excite，at the time the No．2 search engine behind Yahoo，for one million dollars．However，even after the pair had been talked down to ﹩750，000，Excite CEO George Bell rejected them．With no buyer in sight，Google started hiring engineers and moved to an office in California in March 1999．In 2001，Eric Schmidt was hired first as chairman and then CEO，leaving Page and Brin to continue developing Google's products and technologies respectively．By the end of its first decade，Google had effectively won the search engine wars．（1）According to the article，what can we learn about Larry Page and Sergey Brin？A．They first met each other when studying at Stanford．B．They found their first encounter rather unpleasant．C．They had no intention of running a business initially．D．They got financial support from Stanford to work on the ranking system．（2）Paragraphs 4 to 5 mainly talk about．A．what motivated Page to launch the "BackRub" projectB．how the "BackRub" project led to the founding of GoogleC．how the PageRank algorithm workedD．how Brin joined Page in carrying out the "BackRub" project（3）According to the article，who did NOT make an investment in Google？①Andy Bechtolsheim．②Susan Wojcicki．③Jeff Bezos．④George Bell．A．①②B．①③C．③④D．②④（4）What may be the best title for the passage？A．The Internet：how it changed the worldB．Giant Google：how it beat Excite and YahooC．Excite：CEO regretted for refusing the best offerD．Google at 20：how two students changed the Internet第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（10分）Following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia （NCP），also named COVID ﹣19 by WHO，there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen．Fever，coughing，sore throat，difficulty breathing ﹣the NCP's symptomsare similar to the common cold or the flu，but it's potentially more dangerous．Viruses could be deadly，like HIV and Ebola．（1）How can they cause so much trouble？Viruses are non﹣living organisms approximately one﹣millionth of an inch long．Unlike human cells or bacteria，they can't reproduce on their own．Instead，they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce，spread and take over．Viruses can infect every living thing ﹣from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria．（2）Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal．Other viral infections bring about no noticeable reaction．Viruses lie around our environment all of the time，waiting for a host cell to come along．They can enter our bodies by the nose，mouth，eyes or breaks in the skin．（3）For example，HIV，which causes AIDS，attacks the T﹣cells of the immune system．But the basic question is，where did viruses first come from？（4）"Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult，" Ed Rybicki，a virologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa，told Scientific American，"because viruses don't leave fossils （化石）and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they've invaded．"However，there are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses．First，viruses started as independent organisms，then became parasites （寄生者）．Second，viruses evolved from pieces of DNA or RNA that "escaped" from larger organisms．Third，viruses co﹣evolved with their host cells，which means they existed alongside these cells．（5）The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most plausible explanation．Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers．A．But what are viruses？B．For the time being，these are only theories．C．Once inside，they try to find a host cell to infect．D．The answer may be even less satisfactory than it now appears．E．Until now，no clear explanation for their origin exists．F．Experts are concerned about the bad effect that it had on people's health．G．For this reason，they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life．第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分22.5分）第一节（共1小题；每小题22.5分，满分22.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6．（22.5分）These days，teenagers often have their noses buried in a cellphone or other electronic devices．They are often so（1）with what's happening on social media that they often （2）what's going on around them．But you（3）can't say that about

laughter．We boarded the aircraft，without a care in the world．It was cold in Washington and we were ready for Florida．Shortly after taking my seat，I began to feel sick．I knew something wasn't right but just couldn't find out what was happening．Being a doctor and a stubborn man，I resisted efforts by my wife to call for assistance．As the aircraft began its departure roll，I lost consciousness for a short amount of time．As I came around，I quickly realized a few things．Firstly，something very bad hadhappened to me．Secondly，the aircraft was too heavy with the fuel to go back home．Thirdly，my loss of consciousness had been so deep that I found myself out of control．So not only did I have a medical issue to deal with，but I also had to figure out how to deal with an embarrassing experience．My wife gathered the crew as soon as it was safe to move about and I made my way to the washroom to attempt to clean up．I did my best and the flight crew members were so supportive，checking on me often and reassuring me that there was nothing to be embarrassed about．It was their sympathy and support that helped me so much．During the flight they kept watching over me and I suddenly had a small group of nurses，bringing blankets，food，drinks and caring and smile．I was thankful to them．Paragraph 1：Upon landing，I remained in my seat，allowing other people to go first．_____ Paragraph 2：Hearing that，the

Scott Kelly said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer.Scott spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station (ISS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to describe and that the fluids(积水) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Scott said.He discussed life aboard including spending time with Russian astronauts. They came from different cultures. He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.Though life there was not easy, Scott never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussedexperiences growing up, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination.“Never give up or lower your dreams. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard, you’ll find it really rewarding,” Scott said in the end.4. Scott mentioned his experience in the ISS mainly to show ________.A. he enjoyed making speechesB. he was a responsible astronautC. his life in space was challengingD. the daily life of an astronaut can be boring5. What may benefit Scott most when he lived with Russian astronauts?A. He won some awards through teamwork.B. He found the fun of living in the Space Station.C. He learned to develop close relationships with others.D. He picked up some knowledge of Russian culture.6. Which of the following can best describe Scott?A. Kind and thoughtful.B. Curious and humorous.C. Easygoing and sociable.D. Hardworking and determined.7. What does the author intend to tell us from Scott’s story?A. It’s importantto have a dreamB. Easy things are also worth doingC. A suitable career leads one to success.D. Difficult things are demanding but rewardingCThe health benefits of staying active are already well-known. It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above inEnglandandScotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besidesthe named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn’t. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket（球拍）sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.In addition to this, the study didn’t find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead? Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.8. How is the study conducted?A. By doing comparative experiments.B. By analyzing previous data.C. By evaluating survey information.D. By tracking participants for a long time.9. What does the underlined part “the named sports” refer to?A. Ball sports.B.

Stop running and playing football.D.

So I started to have a lot more free time,” he tells Yahoo Life. “It was really saddening, but it was also something that really surprised me, that our health care workers are facing something like that,” Nigam says. “So I wanted to see what I could do to help them because obviously, they're sacrificing so much and giving so much for all of us. ”In late March, the teen started fundraising efforts with the help of friends and family to help these health care workers receive much-needed meals. He also began doing research about what hospitals had the most amount of coronavirus cases, so he could prioritize those places first. He was also arranging for the orders to be fulfilled at local family-owned restaurants impacted by shutdown orders. So far, Nigam has delivered over 1,000 meals to 22 hospitals in 13 states, including New York, Massachusetts and Maryland.Nigam's efforts have not only helped health care workers, but restaurants as well. With quarantine restrictionstaking a toll onthe food industry, places like Best Coast Burrito in Oakland, Calif. , have lost business over the last few weeks.

It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or behave in a similar way as a larger group.People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly surprising that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct explains why the approval of peers, or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true.For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes an addiction. Teens and young adults may feel forced to smoke, or drink alcohol, which might encourage criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to keep up with the peers.However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off smoking, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one.Although peer pressure is sometimes quite obvious, it can also be so subtle that a person may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, simply going with an instinct is risky. Instead, people should seriously consider why they feel drawn to taking a particular action, or it is simply because everyone else is doing the same thing.4. What does the underlined word “instinct” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. A natural tendency.B. An acquired ability.C. A popular idea.D. An obvious mistake.5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Potential causes of peer pressure.B. Possible positive effects of peer pressure.C. Negative consequences of peer pressure.D. Tips for coping with peer pressure.6. What is the author’s suggestion when making a decision?A. Simply go with an instinct.B. Ask for advice from adults.C. Listen to the inner motivation.D. Follow in the footsteps of others.7. What is the author’s attitude to peer pressure?A. Objective.B. Ambiguous.C. Critical.D. Indifferent.CThe worst outbreak of desert locusts (蝗虫) in decades is presently underway in the Horn of Africa. It is the biggest of its kind in 25 years for Ethiopia and Somalia –and the worst Kenya has seen for 70 years.What we are seeing in East Africa today is unlike anyt hing we’ve seen in a very long time. Its destructive potential is enormous, and it’s taking place in a region where farmers need every gram of food to feed themselves and their families. Most of the countries hardest hit are those where millions of people are already vulnerable (脆弱的) or in serious humanitarian need, as they endure the impact of violence, drought, and floods.We have acted quickly to respond to this outbreak. The primary method of battling locusts is the aerial spraying of pesticides (杀虫剂). FAO’s “Locust Watch” service explains that “although giant nets, flamethrowers, lasers, and huge vacuums have been proposed in the past, these are not in use for locust control. People and birds often eat locusts but usually not enough to significantly reduce population levels over large areas.”The UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has released $10 million from its Central Emergency Relief Fund to fund a huge scale-up in aerial operations to manage the outbreak.But the window to contain this crisis is closing fast. We only have until the beginning of March to bring this infestation under control as that is when the rain and planting season begins. If left unchecked – and with expected additional rains – locust numbers in East Africa could increase 500 times by June.We must act now to avoid a full-blown catastrophe. And we will. At the same time, weneed to pay attention to a bigger picture. This is not the first time the Greater Horn of Africa has seen locust outbreak approach this scale, but the current situation is the worst in decades. This is linked to climate change. Warmer seas mean more tropical storms, generating the perfect breeding conditions for locusts.8.What is implied in paragraph 2?A. People in East Africa are suffering drought.B. People in East Africa are going through floods.C. The locust outbreak will cause crop failure.D. The locust outbreak is worsening locals’ life.9. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. We need a bigger picture to study the disaster.B. It is the second outbreak of locusts in East Africa.C. It is the largest outbreak of locusts ever in history.D. The outbreak of locusts is fueled by global warming.10. What is the purpose of the text?A. To analyse and compare.B. To inform and call for.C. To argue and discuss.D. To introduce and assess.11. Where does the text probably come from?A. A guidebook.B. A health magazine.C. A news report.D. A chemistry paper.DScientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike. Researchers report the system is able to predict lightning strikes up to 30 minutes before they happen within a 30-kilometer area.Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in the atmosphere. Since it carries an extremely powerful electrical charge, it can be destructive and deadly. European researchers haveestimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. For this reason, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict lightning.The system tested in the experiments uses a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data, related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed, was placed into a unique machine learning algorithm (算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.The researchers test-ran the system several times. They found that the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent of the time. “It can now be used anywhere,” the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology said in a statement.The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection program. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project. Scientists working on the project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control lightning activity, transferring lightning charges from clouds to the ground. They hope that such technology can one day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could be at stations, airports or places where large crowds gather.12.Why was the system developed?A. To meet kids’ curiosity about lightning.B. To show the power of lightning.C. To keep track of lightning deaths.D. To protect people from lightning.13. What is special about the system?A. It was based on a number of samples worldwide.B. It adopted a different machine learning algorithm.C. It used an effective method of collecting data.D. It required low cost of predicting lightning.14. What will the researchers do next with the laser technology?A. Monitor lightning activity.B. Prevent the occurrence of lightning.C. Direct energy from lightning.D. Generate electricity with lightning.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A System of Controlling LightningB. A Method of Forecasting LightningC. A Theory of Employing LightningD. A Model of Creating Lightning第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020-2021学年济宁市第一中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案

2020-2021学年济宁市第一中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AFine art fairs（艺术博览会）are the trend of the 21st century, with new art and antique（古玩）fairs and festivals springing up in diverse parts of the world. Here is a list of four noteworthy art fairs.Art Basel, Basel, SwitzerlandThe granddaddy of art fairs, Art Basel, was established in 1970 by a group of local art gallerists and is the biggest contemporary art fair in the world. Art Basel takes place over a 5-day period each June in Basel, Switzerland. The high cost of renting space for gallery owners is offset（抵消）by the huge attendance at the fair. For example in 2010, about 60,000 visitors attended Art Basel.Frieze Art Fair, London“Frieze Art Fair was established in 2003 and is one of the few fairs to focus only on contemporary art and living artists.v"Thefair takes place every October in Regent's Park, London. It features over 170 of the most exciting contemporary art galleries in the world. ”In addition to the fair which began in 2003, the fair owners Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp publish Frieze, an international art magazine established in 1991 and devoted to contemporary art.TEFAF Maastricht, the NetherlandsEstablished in 1975 as The Pictura Fine Art Fair, and renamed The European Fine Art Foundation（TEFAF）, Maastricht in 1996, the fair includes 260 of the world's most famous art and antique dealers from 16 countries.The 24th edition of the TEFAF fair held March 18 — 27, 2011 featured 260 dealers exhibiting approximately 30, 000 artworks and antiques with an overall value of $ US 1. 4 billion.ARCO, MadridARCO Madrid was established in 1982 and is one of Europe's leading and popular art fairs. In addition to the exhibiting galleries（in 2011, 197 international art galleries participated）, a seriesof lectures and specially focused exhibitions take place.1.How does Art Basel cover the expense of renting space?A.By selling tickets.B.By selling expensive exhibits.C.By donation from dealers.D.By support from the government.2.The owners of Frieze Art Fair are also in charge of____.A.170 living artists.B.An international art magazine.C.30,000 artworks and antiques.D.A series of lectures.3.Which of the following has the longest history?A.Art BaselB.Frieze Art FairC.TEFAFD.ARCOBOver 180 teenage girls from LixianCounty No. 1 Middle School in Longnan city, Gansu province, listened carefully to a lecture about neuroscience (神经科学). It was delivered by a director of the experimental surgery department at The Second Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University in Xi’an.The students also joined a science class to make paper rockets to launch into the sky. A plastic bottle was connected with a long pipe joined to the end of the rocket, and students stepped heavily on the middle of the bottle so hard that the air pressure shot the rocket upward.The program started in 2016 as a one-week summer camp in Beijing that invited female students to take science courses and to interact with women in science. It aims to stir (激发) an interest in science and technology among female students.“I’m excited to take the opportunity because it’s been my biggest wish to popularize science among students. They can broaden their eyes and hopefully some of them will devote themselves to the field of neuroscience,” the director says. “It’s necessary to bring more of these activities on campus. I’m willing to communicate with teenagers, some of whom ask deep and thoughtful questions that I would never think of.”The key to science popularization is to imbue (灌输) others with the spirit of science. Some scientific and technological workers have devoted themselves to a job in a certain field and they enjoy the pleasure of scientific research. Female Chinese scientific and technological workers sometimes have to double their efforts to receive the same treatment or recognition as those male scientific workers. However, after years of continued effort, the situation will improve, showing the increasing number of female scientists in China.4. What is the purpose of the program?A. To praise the efforts of women scientists.B. To find out how much girls love science.C. To develop interest in science among girls.D. To show love for students in Western China.5. How does the director think of the program?A. Important.B. Challenging.C. Confusing.D. Serious.6. What is the most important in science popularization?A. Enjoying the fun of scientific research.B. Filling people with the spirit of science.C. Holding more scientific activities on campus.D. Forcing students to choose scientific subjects.7. What can we learn from the text?A. One can go anywhere if he/she learns science well.B. People have a stronger sense of science than before.C. Male scientists are much easily recognized than female ones.D. Thedirector graduated from Lixian County No. 1 Middle School.CAccording to statistics published by the BPI (Buying Power Index) a couple of months ago, digital streaming (流媒体) now accounts for 80 percent of the music consumption in the UK. Despite the incredible growth of online streaming platforms like iTunes, Apple Music and Tidal over the past 15 years, a more traditional medium has also seen a return of interest and sales in the music industry. In 2020, almost one in five of all albums purchased in the UK is vinyl (黑胶唱片), and it has once again become the most popular physical musical medium.With digital streaming so easy and convenient, why are so many peopledrawn to traditional records? Some experts claim that vinyl is a physical medium for experiencing music, something tangible (有形的) to hold and own. For most people, having something tangible and interacting with it gives depth to the experience of music. Listening to an album and touching it the way the artist intended can make them feel more connected to the music and the artist. Records are physical products that can be not only displayed but also gifted, shared, traded and passed down through generations.Sound quality is another hot topic. A lot of music lovers feel that the analogue sound (模拟声音) vinyl offers is superior to modern digital audio, particularly with regards to the compressed formats streaming platforms use. There’s a common belief that old-school analogue audio has a warmer, fuller sound than digitised music. For vinyl followers, the very defect traditional recorders often have, such as the familiar crackle (劈啪作响) when the record starts, bring the music to life in a different way.There’s aritualisticaspect to vinyl that a lot of people are drawn to, too. The act of putting a record on—carefully removing the record from the sleeve, placing it on the record player and gently dropping the needleon the right groove (凹槽)—is a more assiduous (一丝不苟的), mindful way of engaging with music. When you’re listening to vinyl, you can’t tap abutton and go about your day while the streaming service provides hours of music. You need to stay close to the record player to move the needle and flip the record over.It’s clear that the vinyl interest is well underway, and vinyl records are truly making a comeback. In an increasingly digital society, there’s something to be said for analogue experiences. Perhaps one of the great things about being alive in the 21st century is our ability to have the best of both worlds—the timeless appeal of physical records alongside the easy access to vast music libraries that streaming offers.8. What are the statistics published by the BPI used to show?A. An increase in music consumption.B. The recovery of music industry.C. A comeback of a physical medium.D. The acceptance of online streaming.9. According to some experts, why does vinyl interest many people?A. It attracts people by its realistic feel.B. It offers simple access to different music.C. It shares a new way to enjoy music.D. It provides people with perfect sound effect.10. The underlined word “ritualistic” in Para.4 means something ______.A. Overlooked by society.B. Updated very frequently.C. Performed as part of a ceremony.D. Kept for a long time without changing.11. How does the writer feel about the future development of music medium?A. Traditional records will get underway.B. The analogue experiences may matter more.C. Vinyl sales will boom with technological advance.D. There should be a good mix of old and new.DA student had to get his long hair cut off in a middle school in GuangDong Province. It was talked a lot among teachers and students.In fact, all schools have their own rules. In most schools, boy students are not allowed to have long hair while girls are not allowed to dye their hair. And most school rules say that students should wear their school uniforms at school. And students must obey these rules so that they can get healthy development at school.But some students have disagreements. They think that boy students having long hair doesn't mean that they are not good students. They want to show their own personality. They think that they would look cool too if they had long hair and the hairstyles like their favorite stars.A girl student thought that she would look much more beautiful if she had brown hair. So she had her dark hair dyed brown one day. When she went back to school the next day, the teacher was very angry with her. She said that she worked hard at her lessons and did well in every subject. She just didn't know why the teacher didn't allow her to dye her hair while women teachers can.It is not wrong for teenagers to love stars' hairstyles or wear their favorite clothes. However, a school has its own rules for all the students to obey so that the school can be in good order. Students should not break the rules at school.12. What aren't boy students allowed to do in most middle schools according to this passage?A. To have long hair.B. To wear uniforms.C. To like famous stars.D. To show their own personalities.13. Why did the girl make her hair brown?A. Because she wanted to be cool.B. Because she thought that she would look much more beautiful.C. Because she wanted to make her teacher angry.D Because women teachers dyed their hair.14. What does the writer think of these school rules?A. The students should be against them.B. They are bad for students.C. They can make schools in good order.D. They can't make students grow healthily.15. What is the passage mainly about?A. Hair styles and clothes.B. Schoolboys and schoolgirls.C. Students and famous stars.D. School rules.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年济宁市第一中学高三英语模拟试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AElectric Shocks Can Be FatalGovernment statistics recently showed that in theUK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their homes. A smaller number of people are killed after they touch the power lines outside their homes. Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breath to stop and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic techniques to deal with such emergencies.What to do?● If you are the first person to reach someone who has an electric shock, don't touch him or her!● If the victim is still holding the appliance that gives him or her the shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source.Under no circumstances can you try to move the appliance with your hands!● Ifyou can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.● The victim must remain lying down. If he or she isunconscious, the victim should be placed on his or her side. But he or she should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is ly necessary.● It is essential to maintain the victim's body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸). Keep the victim's head low until professional help arrives.● If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.1. What kind of passage is it?A. An advertisement.B. A horror story.C. A news report.D. First aid emergency advice.2. The underlined sentence implies that ________.A. you should move the applianceB. you should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricityC. it is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your handsD. it is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands3. When a person has got an electric shock, you should ________.A. separate the victim from the appliance and let him sit upB. keep the victim warm and help him or her breathe againC. move the victim onto his or her side if he or she has got neck injuriesD. keep the victim's head high until professional help arrivesBA Hug from a Teenage BoyFifteen years spent in the field of education have provided Nancy Marra with many treasured moments. One of the most endearing happened when she was teaching second grade.That year, she decided to plan something special for the children: a Mother’s Day tea. After all the preparations were made for it, each child took home an invitation.Nancywas surprised and relieved to see that every mother was planning to attend. She even invited her own mother.Finally, the day arrived. That afternoon, each child lined up at the classroom door expecting the arrival of his or her mom. As it got closer to starting time,Nancylooked around and her eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking upset.Nancytook her mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,”Nancysaid, “I have a bit of a problem here and I was wondering if you could help out. Since I’m going to be really busy today, I was wondering if you could keep my mother company.”Nancy’s mom and Jimmy sat at a table with two other mother-child pairs. Jimmy servedNancy’s mom her treats, presented her with the giftNancyhad made, and pulled out and pushed in her chair, just as they had practiced the day before. WheneverNancylooked over, her mom and Jimmy were in deep conversation Ten years later,Nancywas at a high school to take a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy. On the way back,Nancyhad the students complete an evaluation form of their trip. She collected and checked the forms one by one.When she came to Jimmy’s evaluation page, he had written, “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”As they began unloading at the school, Jimmy made sure he was the last one to go.Nancytold him she really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed, mumbled (咕哝) his own thanks, and then turned to walk away. As the bus driverbegan pulling the bus away, Jimmy ran back and knocked on the bus door. He jumpedback on board and gaveNancya big hug. “Thanks again, Mrs. Marra. No one even knew my mom didn’t make it that day!”She ended her workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had probably stopped hugging teachers years ago.4. Why was Jimmy paired withNancy’s mother?A. Nancy was too busy to spend time with her.B. Jimmy’s mother didn’t come to the event.C. Nancy wanted Jimmy to get to know her.D. Jimmy could get along well with her.5.

A mother’s hug lasts long after she lets go.D. The best teacher must be the best performer.CA crew（全体成员）of six teenage girls completed a nine-day sailing trip in the US recently, after having seasickness and strong winds.For the past three years, the Sea Cadet teenagers whoset sail were all male. Roger Noakes, who captained（担任队长）the boat, said this was the first time he’d taken out an all-female crew.The girls asked for an all-girls trip in August this year. The crew set sail along with three adults, Noakes and two Sea Cadet representatives. The original plan was for the girls to sail 24 hours a day in rotating shifts（轮流换班）along the coast and then return. Things turned out differently, however. “The first night was difficult because the wind was really hard. The waves were going up and down,” said Abby Fairchild,16. “Everybody got seasick.”Noakes gave the girls the choice of just sailing in the bay and not going into open water. “But they decided they were going.”The teenagers then sailed a long way overnight and slept in shifts. “We’ve learned everything from controlling the boat to putting up the sails while we have rough seas,” said 15-year-old Olivia Wilcox.The teenagers stopped on land in Massachusetts. They didn’t make it to their original destination（目的地）in Maine, where they were supposed to have a celebratory dinner, due to the weather and winds. They said they weren’t disappointed, however, as they’d learned a lot. “They learned about boating, and above all, they built confidence and character,” said Noakes.8. What was special about the Sea Cadet trip this year?A. It was the longest sailing trip ever.B. It was the first all-female-crew sailing trip.C. It was the most dangerous sailing trip ever.D. It was the first sailing trip for teenagers.9. What happened on the crew’s first day of the trip?A. They all felt sick on the boat.B. Some of them were hurt.C. Their boat was out of control.D. They went into open water by mistake.10. Which of the following best describes these young sailors?A. Strong-minded and having a strong sense of teamwork.B. Hard-working and having great leadership skills.C. Understanding and creative.D. Adventurous and skillful.11. According to Noakes, what was the sailors’ greatest benefit from the trip?A. They knew the sea better.B. They made many friends.C. They got excellent sailing skills.D. They developed good personalities.DFor years, life went something like this: We’d grow up in one place, head off to college, and then find a city toget a job and live there for a few years. The final goal was to find somewhere to settle down, buy a house, start a family, and begin the whole cycle all over again. But now some people are increasingly choosing to move from city to city throughout their entire lives, sometimes as frequently as every month.Just ask Alex Chatzieleftheriou, who has had a front-row seat watching this evolution unfold. Six years ago, he launched a startup called Blueground that rents out beautifully designed, fully furnished apartments for a month at a time, at rates that are cheaper than hotels. And it aims to make each one feel unique and comfortable,rather than standardized, like what you might find in a traditional hotel.Today, the company has 3,000 properties(房地产) in six U.S. cities, along with Dubai, Istanbul, London, Paris, and Chatzieleftheriou’s native Athens, and a staff of 400. With the helpof the Series B round of funding, the company landed $ 50 million, plus its previous total of $ 28 million, to continue its rapid expansion. It hopes to have 50,000 properties in 50 cities over the next three years.Chatzieleftheriou first came up with the idea for Blueground while he was working as a management consultant for McKinsey. “The accommodation of choice for consultants is the hotel,” he says. “I had to spend five years in hotel rooms, living in 12 different cities. I loved seeing the world, but I didn’t love feeling like I didn’t have a home.” And what’s more, hotels aren’t a particularly cost-effective solution for companies either. In Chatzieleftheriou’s case, McKinsey sometimes paid $ 10,000 or more for him to stay in a major city for a month.12. What does the author intend to tell in the first paragraph?A. A new lifestyle is appearing.B. Life is just like a circle for people.C. Most people are used to an easy life.D. People live in different places in life.13. What is the goal of Blueground?A. To compete with hotels.B. To create standardized hotels.C. To make renters feel at home.D. To rent out long-term apartments.14. What do we know about Blueground?A. It got a total investment of $ 78 million.B. Its business is anything but satisfying.C. It expanded to every corner of the world.D. It has 50,000 properties in 50 cities.15. What does the last paragraph focus on?A. High costs of hotels.B. Chatzieleftheriou’s former work.C Strengths of Blueground.D. The inspiration for Blueground.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The effect of Hadi Partovi's efforts．D. The development of many US schools．DWood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material．It is cheap，durable，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable．The one thing it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list．Lead researcher Dr，Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices．The team began by pulling out the wood's lignin（木质素）．The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer（聚合物）and baked at atemperature of 158°F for four hours．The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent．The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood．While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips，the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications．The researchers，who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11，picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light，or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy．Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings．Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels．The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor，thus resulting in better solar efficiency．Additionally，substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost．They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material iscost-effective to make and easy to use．12.What does the underlined part"that feature"in Paragraph 1 refer to？______A. Cheap．B. Durable．C. Sustainable．D. Transparent．13.Which of the following correctly shows the process in which the transparent wood ismade？______①Dip the wood into a polymer．②Adjust the amount of the polymer．③Make the wood lignin-free．④Bake the wood for some time．A. ③→①→④→②B. ③→①→②→④C. ①→②→③→④D. ④→③→②→①14.Which of the following is true according to the text？______A. Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper．B. Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood's hardness．C. The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings．D.

Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go toCanadajust because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there So after I finished the study program, I went toYellowknifein theNorthwest Territories.I clearly remember the sixth night inYellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.The northern lights were flickering (闪烁) in the sky! I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that I lost all feeling in myhands and feet.As I took pictures of the northern lights, I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky. That’s because they come about from the collisions (碰撞) between atmospheric gases and the solar wind. Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active, whichleads to the best northern lights. And the color1 s of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.4. Why did the host mother ask the author to go out?A. She wanted to take a picture of him.B. She wanted to take a walk with him.C. She wanted to tell him something important.D. She wanted him to see the northern lights.5. The author forgot to take pictures after going out because ______.A. the host mother didn’t remind him to take the cameraB. he was shocked by the wonderful sightC. the lights flickering in the sky disappeared too soonD. he lost all feeling in his hands and feet6. When is the best time to see the northern lights?A. When they appear in the north part of the sky.B. When they come down to the south part of the sky.C. When they are between the north and south.D. When they rise in the east part of the sky.7. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. Waysto take good pictures.B. The relationship between the sun and the northern lights.C.The color1 s of the northern lights.D. The time of the best northern lights.CIt's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they’ve been, and they don't identify you or any of their friends--every moment intheir life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food.They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements.They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact. scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively(挑衅地) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past "fights".But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survivein the wild. "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk,"lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals.Butthis study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.8. According to the text, people commonly believe that ______.A. fish don't recognize any of their friendsB. a fish's memory lasts for only seven minutesC. fish can only remember part of their past experiencesD. fish can remember things that happened long ago9. How can fish benefit most from a good memory?A. They can remember their enemies and fight.B. They can remember where to get food and survive.C. They can remember their friends and help each other.D. They can remember where to go when in danger.10. What can we learn from the text?A. Only African cichlids have a good memory.B. African cichlids can remember things for 12 days.C. African cichlids always treat other fish aggressively.D. African cichlids don't belong to the list of smart animals.11. What is the text mainly about?A. What we can learn from fish.B. Fish having a very bad memory.C. How fish improve their memory.D. Fish being smarter than we thought.DIn Colombia a group, named WebConserva, is carrying out a project in the San Lucas Mountains with the help of coffee growers.The San Lucas area is one of the most unexplored places in Colombia, which is home to many thousands of species of animals and plants. Yet gold mining and coca farming have dealt a blow to its ecosystem. To limit additional development in the San Lucas area, the group helps coffee growers by linking them with processors from around the country.Colombia has more different kinds of living things than any other country except neighboring Brazil. In 2016, the Colombian government signed a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ending years ofcivil war. As a result, more land became accessible for use, with deforestation(毁林) coming along. Government information shows that in 2017, almost 220,000 hectares of forest were destroyed compared to around 124,000 hectares in 2015.To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants, which costs about $77,000 dollars a year. WebConserva hopes that, in time, 200 families will be included. At that level, 20,000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected. In San Lucas, the families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals from the forests. In return, they receive $ 250 to $ 300 per 125 kilograms of coffee, an enviable amount there. Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His new coffee plantation(种植园) makes a barrier between cattle farms and forests where wild animals like the jaguar live and hunt. In this way, he doesn't have to kill wild animals to protect his cattle.Barajas said that pulling down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against his will. Now he feels that growing coffee lets him be astewardof the land. "I'm taking care of the environment, the forest and the animals," he said.12. Why does WebConserva set up the project?A. To help local farmers make money.B. To expand areas of coffee growing.C. To link processors with coffee growers.D. To conserve biodiversity in the Mountains.13. What happened after Colombia’s civil war was over?A. Colombia helped many needy families.B. Colombia lost lots of areas of forests.C. Colombia started to save damaged forests.D. Colombia became more peaceful than Brazil.14. Which is probably a function of Barajas's coffee plantation?A. A method of protecting cattle and wildlife.B. A substitute for hunting of wild animals.C. A barrier between man and wild animals.D. A shelter for cattle against human hunters.15. What does the underlined word "steward" mean in the last paragraph?A. Farmer.B. Master.C. Guardian.D. Explorer.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Advertisement.BIt’s a Saturday night,the kids are asleep and we have no plans.Before we fall into our routine and watch a movie,I try to talk my husband into playing a card game.Unconvinced,英语试卷第2页共16页he continues tapping away on his phone.But just before disappearing into the social media rabbit hole,he has an idea.He looks over me and suggests,“Why don’t we try calling one of our friends?”I look at him with raised brows,as if his suggestion is somewhat ridiculous and perhaps even socially unacceptable.You can’t just call someone out of the blue now…right?But then I realize in the not so distant past,this was the norm.My early teenage years saw me connecting with friends through a phone.We could chat for hours about the latest gossip and news,sometimes hidding under my blanket in order to avoid the chances of being caught by my parents.I could even memorize the phone numbers of loved ones then.I guess these days, they would be on my“Favorites”list in my smartphone.Today,many of my“favorite”people are followed from a distance through social media, and even they very rarely—if ever—would get an actual call from me.The birth announcement by my oldest friend is received through scrolling the past pictures.The news of a divorce from a couple arrives after a photo of a woman led me on a search for more gossip. Bits of such information,may have been a part of my digital feed for years.The idea of actually picking up the phone to reconnect with a long-lost friend is a frightening one—even seeing the name of an old friend pop up in an incoming call can feel a little afraid.I ask my husband,“Who would we call?”After tossing around a few names,we agree on some potential candidates—people whose lives have taken them in different directions,but with whom we still share deep friendships.4.How does the author feel about her husband’s suggestion at first?A.Excited.B.Motivated.C.Nervous.D.Surprised.5.With the phone,the author’s teenage years was_____.A.difficult but interestingB.peaceful and meaningfulC.pleasant and unforgettableD.inconvenient but enjoyable6.In the following days,the couple may____.A.share more of their private information with others英语试卷第3页共16页B.contact more long-lost friends through social mediaC.have more personal communications with their friendsD.add more friends’names to the contact lists in their phones7.What’s the purpose of the passage?A.To argue for the need of the contact of long-lost old friends.B.To tell us about one of his unforgettable experiences.C.To remind us to turn to phones to keep in toch with friends.D.To persuade us to follow our friends through the social media.CScientists have discovered that rats have adapted to modern human life,even adapting their diets to the cities they live in.The scientists claim that it could be possible that humans and rats have had similar changes in their genetic make-up,due to modern city life.The downside of the changes in the DNA is that they could make rats susceptible to the same health problems as humans,such as pollutants and sugary foods.The study showed that rats’diets have also adapted to their environment.In New York, you can see them eat bagels and beer;in Paris,they like croissants and butter.They adapt in amazing ways.The scientists also analyzed the genomes(基因组)of29New York rats and compared them with those of nine brown rats from Heilongjiang Province,north-east China. The finding showed that dozens of rat genes had been through major DNA changes over the centuries,as the rats spread from Asia to Europe and America,and from the countryside and into cities.The changed genes were associated with diet,behavior,and movement,which added英语试卷第4页共16页pressures and challenges for the rat to overcome.This could reflect the fact that urban rats have to move through highly artificial environments that are very different from natural habitats.So these gene changes might have evolved to help them move more easily through underground channels and pipes.As the rats are closely associated with city-living humans,the scientists believe that it is possible that similar changes have happened in both species.In October2019,scientists used rats to successfully test an enzyme(酶)that could be used to help people quit smoking.Two groups of rats were trained to self-administer nicotine, and over two weeks their nicotine intakes increased,suggesting addiction.Then,one group of rats was given the enzyme,which led to a decreased nicotine intake.The scientists say that the enzyme could be developed for human use in the future.8.Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase“susceptible to”in paragraph2?A.Not likely to be cured of.B.Being disease-resistant to.C.Very likely to be affected by.D.Being thoroughly exposed to.9.What does the author intend to show in the third paragraph?A.Rats in the city are particular about their food.B.Rats in different cities have different genetic make-up.C.Rats are distributed in every continent of the earth.D.Rats have been adjusting themselves to the environment.10.What is the purpose of testing an enzyme on rats?A.To explore rats’survival ability.B.To help people stop smoking.C.To learn more about city rats.D.To tell apart nicotine and enzyme.11.What is the best title of this text?英语试卷第5页共16页A.Rats Have Adapted to Modern Human LifeB.Rats in the City Have Varieties of DietsC.Rats Are More Adaptable than HumansD.Rats Have the Same Genetic Make-up to HumansDWhat do you do when nobody is around to take your picture?You take a selfie(拍照).But what about selfies in space?On Twitter last year,NASA astronaut Edwin“Buzz”Aldrin,who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July1969,laid claim to a spaceflight first taking the first selfie in space during the Gemini XII mission in1966.“For me,it needs to be digital to be selfie,”argues Jennifer Levasseur,who is in charge of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.According to Levasseur,the concept of a selfie is directly linked to Internet culture and human desire to interact on social platforms.“The thing that makes a selfie is sharing it,”she says.Still,astronauts have been carrying cameras abroad space vehicles since the1960s,and they've taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way.Astronauts had to pull the film magazines out and leave their cameras behind when they returned to Earth because early space missions were restricted by a conservative weight limit on the return trip.A big change in space camera technology came after sad loss of the space shuttle Columbia who broke apart on its return to Earth in2003.“Fearing that they would never be able to bring the film back from space and lose all that hard work celebrated the push for digital.”Levasseur says.Today astronauts can have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and post true based selfies taken by digital cameras.Taking selfies and sharing them on social media is a way that astronauts in space can participate in the same activities people on Earth do every day.The first astronaut selfie that went viral(网红的)on the internet was one by Japanese英语试卷第6页共16页astronaut Akihiko Hoshide in2012.12.What does Levasseur think of Aldrin's claim?A.It hardly makes any sense.B.It revolutionizes astronautics.C.It contradicts public opinions.D.It needs to be further proved.13.Why were cameras left in space on early space missions?A.To lighten the load of the spaceship.B.To test cameras under extreme conditions.C To prepare for the next stage of spaceexploration.D.To take more pictures in space by remote control.14.What advanced space camera technology?A.The invention of new filmsB.The fear of falling behind in the space raceC.The concern about the loss of valuable dataD.The popularity of space selfies on socia media15.What is the best title for the text?A.The Exploration of Space.B The History of Selfies in Space.C.The Change in Space Camera Technology.D.The Development in Space Technology.第二节：（共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5分）阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
