But you know, people spend so much time talking about my age and that can make me a bit angry. I just want them to talk about the quality of the film.(Text10)M: The first bicycle appeared in France in the 1790s. It was a little wooden horse with a fixed front wheel.Because the wheel was fixed, it could not be turned right or left. The only way it could be controlled was by the rider pushing against the ground with his or her feet. In 1817, a German replaced the fixed front wheel with one that could be turned. Now the wooden horse could be directed right or left. The rider still needed to push it with his or her feet on the ground. In 1839, a Scot named MacMillan designed the first bicycle-like machine with foot board and rode it for 40 miles in only 5 hours. The bicycle got more comfortable in 1869 when rubber tires were introduced. Around the same time, the front wheels began to grow larger while the back wheels got smaller. During the 1880s, bicycles enjoyed a sudden growth in popularity. However, they weren't very safe. Sitting high up towards the front of the bicycle and traveling very fast, the rider could be easily thrown over the front wheel if theinvented in 1884. The safety bicycle had equal-sized wheels and tires with air in them. And more improvements quickly followed. No doubt there will be further improvements in design and materials in the future.。

2019-2020学年高三英语第二次联考试卷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ASome young people win attention because of their good looks or their singing ability. A much smaller number gain fame because they have done something important and worthwhile with their abilities. Rishab Jain is among the latter. In 2018, 13-year-oldRishab developed a way to use AI technology to help pancreatic(胰腺的) cancer patients and won the3MYoung Scientist Challenge, a nationwide middle-school science competition, and its $25,000 prize.In the last stage of the contest, Rishab competed againstnine other finalists at the 3M Innovation Center(创新中心) in St.Paul,Minnesota. Leading up to the big meet, each finalist had partnered with a scientist to further develop their inventions.Rishab explains what led him to create his invention. First,a family friend died of cancer. Then Rishab learned about how deadly pancreatic cancer is, and that its low survival rate is due to how difficult it is to treat. "I'm also into programming, so I was learning about AI technology. I decided to try to solve a real-world problem using it."His winnings have been put in further research and in his nonprofit Samyak Science Society, which helps poor children enter the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. Rishab is also raising awareness about pancreatic cancer. These efforts make him quite different from teenagers of his age. Considering becoming a biomedical engineer or a doctor一or both, he has also put some money aside to further his own learning. Almost certainly the doors of higher education will open wide to him before he even knocks.That's an outstanding outlook for one so young. Rashib is committed to helping very sick people in need. He is also providing teenagers of his age with a much-needed model of what kinds of things youth can achieve.1. What can we learn about the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2018?A. It was intended to solve medical problems.B. It was a nationwide AI competition for teenagers.C. It offered the finalists an opportunity to work with scientists.D. It allowed the finalists to learn AI technology in the 3M center.2. How did Rishab win the 3M Young Scientist Challenge?A.He showed excellent programming ability.B. He figured out the survival rate of pancreatic cancer.C. He introduced poor children to STEM education.D. He applied AI technology to treating pancreatic cancer.3. Which of the following best describes Rishab?A. Talented and caring.B. Independent and humorous.C. Responsible and patient.D. Polite and inspiring.BWhy doesHaitiso tend to have fatal earthquakes? Earthquakes have been causing huge damage inHaitisince at least the 18th century. The capital city has been destroyed twice in 19 years. The 21st century has beenno more kind.The Earth’s outer shell is made tip of tectonic plates (构造板块) that move.Haitisits near the crossing of two tectonic plaits that make up the Earth’s outer shell. Earthquakes can occur when those plates move against each other and create friction (摩擦力).Haitiis also overpopulated. Plus, many of its buildings are designed to resist hurricanes but not earthquakes. Those buildings can survive strong winds bat are easy to fail down when the ground shrikes. Poor building practices can also play arole.“I think it’s important to recognize that there’s no such thing as a natural disaster,” said Wendy Bohon, a geologist. “What you have is a natural disaster that comes with a weak architecture system. We do know that earthquakes like this can cause huge damage because ofthefault,” said Wendy. “And it’s quite a significant risk in places that don’t have the construction practices to resist the shaking.”Construction of more earthquake-resistant buildings remains a challenge inHaiti, which is the poorest nation in theWestern Hemisphere. “While there have been some success stories of Haitians building more earthquake-resistant structures, the country has lacked a centralized effort to do so,” said Mark Schuller, a professor of anthropology and nonprofit and NGO studies atNorthernIllinoisUniversity.Haiti’s government has become increasingly weak, while non-governmental organizations only focus on their own projects.“There is technical knowledge inHaiti, There are trained architects. There are cityplanners. That’s not the problem,” Schuller said. “The problem is a lack of funding for coordination (协调), and lack of political will from donors to organizations providing aid.”4. Which factor causing the huge damage is highlighted?A. Its overpopulation.B. Its weak government.C. Its geographical location.D. Its weak architecture system.5. What does the underlined part “the fault” in paragraph 4 refer to?A Lacking political will to provide aid.B. Lacking hurricane-resistant; buildings.C. Lacking earthquake-resistant buildings.D. Sitting on the crossing of two tectonic plates.6. What’s Schuller’s attitude towardsHaiti’s government?A Supportive. B. Critical.C. Indifferent.D. Interested.7. Which of the following can be a problem according tothe last paragraph?A. Fund and will.B. Skilled architects.C. Urban designers.D. Technology and money.CI am a part of the Windward Robotics team known as the Omnicats, one of the many clubs offered at my school. My eight teammates and I started out by watching the robotics qualifiers and finals of Chinese teams. We used these robotics videos for inspiration and drew up mind maps of what our team wanted to do.We meet every day for two hours after school in order to build our robots. Typically, adultsoverseewhat students are building, but my school lets teens take control. It leaves room for more errors, but we're prouder of our final product.Before our first real match, a practice was offered at the actual site. My sub-team had been further along than other teams but quickly fell behind. When we arrived on that big day, I immediately felt my teammates' nervousness. Our first match was in three minutes. All of us glanced around at each other since we were not prepared at all. Our robot was still sitting in a box. Two of our teammates rushed to take the robot for an official examination as the rest of us discussed our strategy (策略).Our team captain explained that we all should try driving the robot now, while it was early in the season. She gave me the remote. I had only driven for a limited amount of time in practice so I was extremely nervous. Our autonomous code (自动代码) beganto run almost immediately after our short discussion. Despite all the drama, we ended up winning the match.Not too bad for the first match! I was so proud. I did not enjoy the pressure of driving but liked building the robot behind the scenes instead.We have transferred to a different type of robotics at the end of the semester, which involves the whole team designing one giant robot with large tools. I am a part of the electrical team now, so I make sure the motherboard (母板) can supply the robot's energy needs. We have all enjoyed the rest of the season and learned that robotics it never dull!8. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. InspectB. AdmireC. OverlookD. Assume9. Why did her teammatesfed so nervous before first match?A.

It was terrible but powerful.D. It was boring but professional11. What is the best title for the text?A. A Girl Who Loves RobotsB. My First Robotics MatchC. Teamwork for RobotsD. Robotics Is Never DullDDad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum, which made the comb two years older than I was. Every night, he wouldsmile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”I was more than happy to do it. At age five this mundane task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. He didn’t come home as much as he used to – just a couple of times a week. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.Today, I’m no longer a kid. I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has got back on track.Things are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me persisted.Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. As usual, I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave, he said, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad has aged. He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles, yet his smile is still as heartwarming as before. The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family. Dad carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet.After so many years, he still organizes his personal items in the same meticulous way. I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.12. What caused the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me?A. Generation gap.B. Dad’s failure in business.C. My ignorance of Dad.D. Dad’s absence from the family.13. Which of the following can best describe Dad?A. Gentle but strict.B. Hardworking and caring.C. Cautious and realistic.D. Demanding but patient.14. Why did Dad ask his daughter to clean his comb before her birthday?A. To give her a lesson.B. To follow his old habit.C. To fix their relationship.D. To praise her helpfulness.15. Which saying concludes the text best?A. Yesterday once more.B. Let bygones be bygones.C. Some things never change.D. Like father, like daughter.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。

2019-2020学年高三英语第二次联考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ASevenhugs HugOneDo you want to improve the quality of your sleep? Sevenhugs has created HugOne that tracks different sleep patterns to help families consistently rest better. There are dozens of devices and tools devoted to monitoring the sleep. But, HugOne is the world’s first family smart home sleep system, which integrates a calculation rule for sleep patterns of children and adults.HugOne is a well-designed product, full of a sense of science and technology. It connects to a number of smaller sensors called “minihugs”, which are placed on the edge of each bed. They monitor the sleep patterns and other data coming from the person sleeping in that bed. The data arethen sent to an app on the smartphone.● The benefits of HugOne include:* Having a smart alarm clock on the app as HugOne learns your sleep cycle and automatically sets and sounds to when the best moment in your sleep cycle is identified.* Monitoring temperature and humidity in your bedroom as well as indoor air quality for the main living space.* Linking with smart lamps and thermostats, allowing users to fall asleep with sunset light and preferred nighttime temperatures, and wake up to sunrise light and preferred daytime temperatures.* Ensuring safety from electronic transmissions when you sleep-when the minihug senses a presence in bed, it shuts off its electronic transmissions and starts recording sleep data and sending them to the app.● The following are selected from customers’ comments:I prefer HugOne, since it’s convenient to use. I simply place the minihug in the corner of my bed under the sheet and it goes to work monitoring my sleep cycle. It’s really good.—Robert Compton● HugOne available for purchase includes:I think HugOne is a humanized product. It’s shareable, and I’ve connected eight minihugs to the HugOne base in my house. All my family members think highly of it.—Chris HanawaltHugOne will provide maximum protection for your sleep. If you want to get more detailed information, please call the sellers at 1-800-576-1899 or .Style: Sleep Tracking System+2 Sleep SensorsColour: Blue+Rose1. How does HugOne effectively work?A. It controls sleep patterns automatically.B. It creates smart systems for a better sleep.C. It collects sleep data through the minihugs.D. It makes a calculation of the data sensors need.2. According to the passage, HugOne can ______.A. adjust temperature, humidity and air quality in bedroomsB. update the sleep cycles by aid of an alarm clock on the appC. record sleep data when there are electronic transmissions in bedD. help users fall asleep and wake up naturally with preferred temperatures3. The passage is made more believable by ______.A. providing statisticsB. drawing a comparisonC. giving a demonstrationD. using recommendationsBGrowing up as kids we are told to share our toys and notto be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a carpet as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?“Oversharing” has become associated with social media, but it isn'texclusiveto this platform. Imagine you head to a party and meet x k w someone. Within five minutes they have revealed private details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage advisor Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media?Dr. Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学),says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. It seems that searching for sympathy by oversharing is generally considered as negative rather than the cry for help it could really be.However, Dr. Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become-provided that the posts that we bang out are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense-if your date is going “that well", would you really have time to share a photo with text?So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.4. What does the underlined word “exclusive" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Unique.B. Similar.C. Relevant.D. Fundamental.5. Why do some people prefer oversharing at parties?A. To draw others' attention.B. To satisfy others' curiosity.C. To remove negative feelings.D. To develop good relationships.6. Which of the following may Dr. Hand agree with?A. Sharing more details online can attract more sympathy.B. Oversharing negative experiences is equal to crying for help.C. Sharing negative posts can't help one become socially attractive.D. Oversharing isn't likely to happen online when things go wrong.7. According to the text, what should be avoided for online sharing?A. Reflecting on past bad manners.B. Showing a great many expensive goods.C. Writing a recipe for a balanced breakfast.D. Recording unforgettable moments with friends.CWhat about your emotions? How do they help you to understand what you are reading?In Jane Yolan'sOwl Moon,a girl explores with her father on a snowy night. She longs for this special night.And she's amazed when she sees an owl.Have you felt longing before? Amazement? Well, if you have, it helps you have a sense of agreement. When we can put ourselves inside a story we can understand it better. Our brain tells us,"Oh, this girl's experience is a bit like mine."And boom! We can relate to her.But this skill is not born in us.So young kids have to learn it.Pictures and images help young readers to understand and recognize feelings.Readers feel joy when seeing the smiling faces of friends.They feel fear when turning the page to find a scary monster. They are just pictures,but the feelings are real. This skill, to understand the thinking and feeling of others, is what researchers call "theory of mind".For example, think about the faces of people and animals in stories. The Big Bad Wolf's scary teeth. The 'o' shape of a surprised character's mouth. Or big, wide eyes like the girl inOwl Moon.By noticing the faces,readers can start to figure out what it feels like to be that character.And that helps to figure out how people feel and think in real life.But most young readers don't go into deep,scary woods.And some may not go to the beach or play basketball.In the bookYo!Yes?two kids meet and play ball. The kids start the story on opposite pages.But as the story goes on,they get closer until they are together.Some young readers might not play basketball, but they can read the clues on the page to figure out how the kids are feeling.And some readers might not like the game,but they can feel excited for the characters because of how the characters look and move.8. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.Owl Moontalks about the exploration of the Moon.B. The feeling of"amazement"is a sense of agreement.C. Readers are blessed with the ability to interpret others.D. Readers with similar experience understand the story better.9. Which of the following might help readers develop"theory of mind"?A. True feelings.B. Smiling faces.C. Picture books.D. Reading skills.10. Young readers can go deeper into a story by________.A. tracking the plotB. developing new skillsC. sharing similar hobbiesD. analyzing the background11. What is the text mainly about?A. How thinking influences reading.B. How readers improve reading skills.C. How emotions help enhance reading.D. How kids figure out the clues of stories.DAccording to the study posted onScienceDirect, gardening just two to three times a week increase the benefits of better well-being as much as possible and lower stress levels.The research explored why residents engaged with gardening and the extent to which they recognized any health benefits from the activity.A questionnaire was handed out electronically within theUK, with 5,766 gardeners and 249 non-gardeners responding. Data was collected on factors including garden typology(类型学), frequency of gardening and individual awareness of health and well-being."This is the first time the dose response(剂量效应)to gardening has been tested and the evidence from the survey strongly suggests that the more frequently you garden, the greaterthe health benefits," said Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) lead author Dr Lauriane Chalmin-Pui. In fact, gardening every day has the same positive impact on well-being than undertaking regular and powerful exercise like cycling or running.When gardening, our brains are pleasantly entertained by nature around us. Gardening takes our attention away from ourselves and our stresses, therefore, it helps restore our minds and reduce unfavorable feelings.Improving health, however, was not the main motive power to garden, but rather the direct pleasure gardening brought to the participants."Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn't feel as exhausting and hard as going to the gym, for example, but we canexpendsimilar amounts of energy," Chalmin-Pui added.Most people say they garden for pleasure and enjoyment, so people who like gardening may be easy to be addicted to it. However, this sometimes may become a piece of good news, from the aspect of mental health. "We hope all the millions of new gardeners will be getting their daily gardening and feeling all the better for it. " Chalmin-Pui said in the interview.12. What can be inferred about gardening from the survey?A. Improving health is the aim of the participants.BGardening makes no difference to health.C. Health benefits from frequent gardening.D. Too much gardening always does harm to health.13. What does the underlined word "expend" mean in paragraph 7?A. Consume.B. Make use of.C. Increase.D. Save.14. Why do so many participantslike gardening?A. It isn't exhausting.B. It is good for health.C. It brings pleasure.D. It is like going to the gym.15. What is Chalmin-Pui's attitude to the new gardeners' gardening?A. Carefree.B. SupportiveC. Tolerant.D. Indifferent.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。

It was a bag of cookies.I thanked her and began to eat the cookies as I continued my route.After several cookies,I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag.When I opened the envelope,I was surprised.Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said,"I'm proud of you."(1)What was the author forty﹣three years ago? A.A teacher.B.A researcher.C.A delivery boy.D.A repairman.(2)We can learn from the text that the author .A.broke the window by mistakeB.avoided the old lady for several daysC.acted as usual after breaking the windowD.felt guilty the moment he broke the window(3)The old lady wrote "I'm proud of you" because she thought the author was brave enough .A.to do experiments with smooth rocksB.to earn money to support his own lifeC.to admit his own mistake and make up for itD.to put an envelope with a note through the letter slot12.(10分)After retirement,Michael Kennedy could have chosen to take walks around his seaside home.Instead,the former mechanical engineer engaged himself in the toughest task of his life ﹣keeping the thundering waves of the Norfolk coast.The 73﹣year﹣old has spent the past 14 years building his own sea wall at Hunstanton,piling up rocks picked from the sandy beach to slow the erosion (侵蚀)of the soft limestone (石灰岩)and chalk cliffs.It's estimated that Michael has shifted 200 tons of stone in the last 14years."It's a real labour of love because I come down here whatever the weather,in spring,summer,autumn and winter," said the divorced father of two."It keeps me fit and I love it."Mr Kennedy moved to the area after retiring from the London Underground.Nicknamed Fred Flintstone by locals,he tries to move at least 40 pounds of rocks in two﹣hour sessions which he finishes by 2 pm.Everything he collects is placed into piles at the foot of the cliffs.Larger rocks go at the bottom to provide the main line of defence and smaller ones are placed at the top.He also picks up rubbish and prides himself on having created a spotless,stone﹣free sandy beach for holidaymakers to enjoy.The work goes on six days a week.Saturdays are his day off so that the Chelsea "fanatic" can watch football and other sports.However,there are signs that he is becoming a victim of his own success,as the number of stones has dwindled significantly in recent months."It's confusing,Mr Kennedy said."Usually every year the stones just come in with the sea but this year we haven't had any." He added,"I hope to still be doing it when I'm 100 but perhaps just four days a week instead of six."Town mayor Peter Mallam said Mr Kennedy had become "quite a local legend"."It's fascinating.Everyone knows of the old guy who collects the stones.He's done a sterling effort."(1)What do we know about the sea wall built by Michael Kennedy? A.It was constructed with the help of the locals.B.The construction work began in his seventies.C.It was made of 40 pounds of rocks altogether.D.It was built to protect the limestone and chalk cliffs.(2)The author of this passage uses the word "victim" (Paragraph 6)in a(n) way.A.humorousB.admiringC.sympatheticD.ironic(3)The underlined word "dwindled" in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by .A.shortenedB.decreasedC.multipliedD.lengthened(4)What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To describe a unique sea wall.B.To introduce a local legend.C.To recommend a retirement lifestyle.D.To call on the public to build more sea walls.13.(7.5分)A court battle between German and Israeli archives (档案馆)over Kafka's manuscripts (手稿)raised literary,not just legal,questions.At the time of his death,Kafka hardly seemed like a candidate for world fame.He had a minor reputation in German literary circles.He published a few stories in magazines,but they received little attention.After he died in 1924,his friend Max Brod collected,edited and published his works ﹣despite Kafka's own instructions in his will ordering the manuscripts to be destroyed ﹣thus making Kafka a household name after his death.When the Nazis invaded Prague,Brod escaped to Israel,bringing the manuscripts with him.When he died in 1968,his manuscripts,together with those of Kafka,were transferred to his secretary Esther Hoffe.Even though Brod asked in his will that the manuscripts be given to a public archive,Hoffe sold some of them abroad for a great deal of money.Many of them eventually made it to the German Literature Archive.In 2007,she died and left her properties to her daughters.Then the case about the manuscripts started after the death of one of her daughters.The court said Hoffe had no rights,and could not have any such rights for the documents Brod took from Kafka's apartment after his death.Ironically,Kafka's stubborn homelessness and non﹣belonging in his works were accurately what ensured his place at the center of 20th﹣century literature.W.H.Auden proposed that Kafka was to the cold,absurd 20th century what Dante or Shakespeare had been to their times ﹣the writer who captured the spirit of the age.That is why,in the end,it hardly matters whether Kafka's manuscripts stay in Germany or Israel.What counts is that we are all living in Kafka's world.(1)What was the court battle about? A.Whether Kafka's manuscripts were legal.B.Which country Kafka's manuscripts belonged to.C.Who could decide the fate of Kafka's manuscripts.D.Whether Hoffe could publish Kafka's manuscripts.(2)Kafka's will was to .A.have his manuscripts destroyedB.donate his works to a public archiveC.transfer his manuscripts to Esther HoffeD.leave some of his properties to his daughters(3)Why could Kafka earn a place in the 20th﹣century literature? A.He was homeless all his life.B.He was as productive as Shakespeare.C.He published many stories in magazines.D.His works reflected the spirit of his time.第二节:(满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.14.(10分)Prepare to SucceedPeople are always thinking about success.(1) This thought isn't one that brings you closer,however,because thinking,dreaming or wishing just doesn't get it done.(2) You may ask,"Why is preparation necessary?"The easier answer to this question is to say that if you are not ready to move forward,then you may just as well keep doing what you have always done.Success doesn't come easy.(3) Success requires you to be prepared to sacrifice leisure time,or time spent watching television or going out with friends,at every opportunity.Success means you are prepared to do whatever it takes to constantly move the yardsticks forward day after day.Here is just one quote,from Calvin Coolidge,the 30th president of the United States,that expresses what preparation is about:"(4) It is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow."This quote can be interpreted to mean that you may have strength or confidence to start on your way right now to move toward your final goal.However,it is also critical that committed action each day builds to help you keep going when obstacles arise or when you just don't feel like you have the interest or energy to stay focused.(5) That shows you what steps or actions to take,when to take them or what to do if issues,obstacles or other life issues get in the way.The bottom line is actually quite clear:You are either willing,able and determined to achieve what you want,or you are simply dreaming or wishing that success finds you.A.There are no shortcuts.B.Success is getting what you want.C.Our real problem is not our strength today.D.Preparation also means that you have a plan or a goal.E.The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.F.One of the most important parts of personal or professional success is preparation.G.It is usually in their brains as they go about daily routines looking for something better.第三部分:语言运用(共两节)第一节:完形填空(每小题1.5分,满分30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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.15.(30分)Seven years ago,our daughter,Alle Shea,was born.All of our family were excited with the new

(hope)to determine how muchexercise is needed to keep the Scots (2) feeling depressed.The answer:a mere20 minutes a week of any physical exercise,whether sports,walking,gardening (3) even housecleaning.The researchers found that more exercise brought more mental﹣healthbenefits.But their overall conclusion was that being active for 20 minutes a week (4) (be)enough,if your goal is mental health.How much exercise is enough?This is a question difficult to answer,(5) (part)because the amount of exercise needed depends on the benefits you hope togain.Twenty minutes a week of housecleaning

backyard in the snow.Bobby didn't wear boots;or rather,he didn't own any.The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them and they did a poor job of keeping out the cold.Bobby had been in his backyard for about an hour already.Try as he might,he could not come up with an idea for his mother's Christmas gift.He shook his head as he thought,"This is useless.Even if I do come up with an idea,I don't have any money for a gift."Wiping tears from his eyes,Bobby started walking down to the street where the shops were.It wasn't easy being six without a father,particularly when he needed a man to talk to.Bobby walked from shop to shop,looking into each decorated window.Everything seemed so beautiful but so out of reach.It was starting to get dark and Bobby reluctantly turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes caught the glimmer (激光)of the setting sun's rays reflecting on something on the roadside.He reached down and discovered a shiny dime (一角硬币).Never before has anyone felt as wealthy as Bobby did at that moment.As lie held his newly﹣found treasure,warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store.His excitement quickly turned cold when salesperson after salesperson told him that he could not buy anything with only a dime.He saw a flower shop and went inside to wait in line.When the shop owner asked if he could help him,Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother's Christmas gift.The shop owner looked at Bobby and his one dime offering.Then he put his hand on Bobby's shoulder,saying,"You just wait here and I'll see what I can do for you." As Bobby waited,he looked at the beautiful flowers and even though he was a boy,he could see why mothers and girls loved flowers.注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语己为你写好;4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语.Paragraph 1:A few minutes later,the shop owner came out.Paragraph 2:With the bunch of roses in his hands,Bobby walked out of the door and then broke into a run.2019年浙江省名校新高考研究联盟(Z20联盟)联考高考英语二模试卷参考答案与试题解析第一部分:听力(共两节)做题时,先将答案标在试卷上.录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上.第一节:(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分)听下面5段对话,每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选ht 最佳选项,并标在试卷的相应位置.听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅荬下一小题.每段对话仅读一遍.1.(1.5分)What was the weather like on Saturday?A.Rainy.B.Sunny.C.Windy.【考点】15:短对话理解.【分析】略【解答】略【点评】略2.(1.5分)What does the woman imply about that district?A.It's short of fish.B.It's badly polluted.C.It's famous for rivers.【考点】15:短对话理解.【分析】略【解答】B【点评】略3.(1.5分)What do we know about John?A.He smokes too much during work.B.He tries to avoid second﹣hand smoke.C.He is popular in his office.【考点】15:短对话理解.【解答】略【点评】略4.(1.5分)How much time is left for the speakers to get a drink?A.Five minutes.B.Ten minutes.C.Twenty minutes【考点】15:短对话理解.【分析】略【解答】略【点评】略5.(1.5分)What does the man mean?A.He wants to eat fish for dinner.B.Pizza is his favorite dish.C.The chicken he's had tasted bad.【考点】15:短对话理解.【分析】略【解答】略【点评】略第二节:(每小题1.5分,满分22.5分)听下面5段对话或独白.每段对话或独白后有几个小题,从题中所给的A、B、CS斗选项中选出最佳选项,并标在试卷的相应位置.听每段对话或独白前,你将有时间阅读各个小5,每小题5秒钟;听完后,各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间.每段对话或独白读两遍.6.(3分)(1)What was wrong with the man?A.He had a car accident.B.He was late for the film.C.He lost his key.(2)How did the man get to the cinema?A.By bus.B.By car.【考点】16:长对话理解.【分析】略【解答】略【点评】略7.(3分)(1)What will the man do at the weekend?A.Watch a game.B.Play football.C.Enjoy a play.(2)What will the woman probably do next?A.Go to the theatre.B.Invite Joyce to a play.C.Sell her ticket to Joyce.【考点】16:长对话理解.【分析】略【解答】略【点评】略8.(4.5分)(1)How many nights will the man stay at the hotel?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.(2)What do we know about the man?A.He has to change his schedule.B.He will live in a room facing south.C.He thinks the hotel's services are terrible.(3)What makes the man disappointed?A.There is no phone in the room.B.The room price is high.C.The breakfast isn't included in the charge.【考点】16:长对话理解.【分析】略【解答】略【点评】略9.(6分)(1)What do we know about the role Elena played in her film?A.She worries too much about her life.B.She is easily hurt by other people's actions.C.She has a very similar character to Elena's.(2)What's the probable relationship between the speakers?A.Interviewer and interviewee.B.Boss and secretary.C.Actress and assistant.(3)What did Elena find the most challenging about making the film?A.Controlling large groups of additional actors.B.Telling people what she wanted.C.Managing the main actors.(4)How does Elena feel about people's concern for her age?A.Proud.B.Annoyed.C.Worried.【考点】16:长对话理解.【分析】略【解答】略【点评】略10.(6分)(1)What is the talk mainly about?A.The development of the bicycle.B.The materials of making the bicycle.C.The process of bicycle's becoming popular.(2)What is the disadvantage of the bicycle before MacMillan's design?A.The bicycle couldn't change directions.B.The rider's feet couldn't leave the ground.C.The wheels of the bicycle weren't well fixed.(3)When was the size of the bicycle's wheels changed?A.Around 1817.B.Around 1839.C.Around 1869.(4)What does the speaker say about the bicycle?A.It has been fully improved right now.B.It will become better and better.C.It is still not safe enough.【考点】16:长对话理解.【分析】略【解答】略【点评】略第二部分:阅读理解(共两节)第一节:(每小题2.5分,满分25.0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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.11.(7.5分)Forty﹣three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance.I have forgotten the name of an old lady who was a customer on my paper route.Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness.On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old lady's house.The object of our play was to observe how the rocks changed to missiles (导弹)as they rolled to the roof's edge and shot out into the yard like comets (彗星)falling from the sky.I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and sent it for a ride.However,it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight for a small window.At the sound of crashed glass,we knew we were in trouble and ran away.A few days later,when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered,I started to feelguilty for her misfortune.She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper,but I was no longer able to act comfortably in her presence.I made up my mind to save my paper delivery money,and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window.I put the money in an envelope with a note,and put the envelope through the letter slot in her door.The next day,I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her.She thanked me for the paper and said,"Here,I have something for you."

AForty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance. I have forgotten the name of an old lady who was a customer on my paper route. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness.On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old lady’s house. The object of our play was to observe how the rocks changed to missiles (导弹)as they rolled to the roof’s edge and shot out into the yard like comets (彗星)falling from the sky.

She still greet ed me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably in her presence. I made up my mind to save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note, and put the envelope through the letter slot in her door.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her. She thanked me for the paper and said, “Here,I have something for you.” It was a bag of cookies. I thanked her and began to eat the cookies as I continued my route.After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was surprised.

To call on the public to build more sea walls.CA court battle between German and Israeli archives (档案馆) over Kafka’s manuscripts (手稿)raised literary, not just legal, questions. At the time of his death, Kafka hardly seemed like a candidate for world fame. He had a minor reputation in German literary circles. He published a few stories in magazines, but they received little attention.After he died in 1924, his friend Max Brod collected, edited and published his works - despite Kafka’s own instructions in his will ordering the manuscripts to be destroyed - thus making Kafka a household name after his death. When the Nazis invaded Prague, Brod escaped to Israel, bringing the manuscripts with him. When he died in 1968, his manuscripts, together with those of Kafka, were transferred to his secretary Esther Hoffe.Even though Brod asked in his will that the manuscripts be given to a public archive, Hoffe sold some of them abroad for a great deal of money. Many of them eventually made it to the German Literature Archive. In 2007, she died and left her properties to her daughters. Then the case about the manuscripts started after the death of one of her daughters. The court said Hoffe had no rights, and could not have any such rights for the documents Brod took from Kafka’s apartment after his death.Ironically, Kafka’s stubborn homelessness and non -belonging in his works were accurately what ensured his place at the center of 20th -century literature. W. H. Auden proposed that Kafka was to the cold, absurd 20th century what Dante or Shakespeare had been to their times - the writer who captured the spirit of the age.
