2020年惠安荷山中学高三英语模拟试卷及答案解析

2020年惠安荷山中学高三英语模拟试卷及答案解析

2020年惠安荷山中学高三英语模拟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AIf you truly want to live, you need to get out and see the world. Traveling and living different adventures may become your favorite lifestyle. Here is a brief introduction about the top three destinations to visit in the world. ParisFirst on the list is Paris, France. For some people, this shouldn’t be a surprise. For others, they might consider Paris overrated as it has a reputation for being dirty. Any major city in the world might be thought to be dirty by anyone not living in a city. It comes with the territory. The reason Paris is at the top of this list is not because of its famous attractions but because of its charm. You can spend the day walking around cobblestone streets and enjoy elegant cafes and high-end shopping. When you finish satisfying your appetite, you can relax on the banks of the Seine River.Glacier National ParkGlacier National Park comes in second on the list. It is located in Montana, America. It will be well worth the effort thanks to snow-capped mountains, crystal blue lakes, seventy miles of hiking trails, and thirteen camping areas. If you visit during the summer, you can go swimming or white-water rafting. If you visit during the winter, you can go skiing or snowshoeing. But the real allure (诱惑力) and what you will always remember is the breathtaking scenery and fresh mountain air.Bora BoraThe reason Bora Bora is the third on this list is that it’s expensive, which could limit your other travel plans. If you do make it to this small island paradise, you will find peaceful beaches, jungles, luxury accommodations, turquoise water, and some of the friendliest people you have ever met.Other vacation destinations that should be on your list if you’re living the adventurous lifestyle include London, the South Island of New Zealand, Maui, Tahiti, Tokyo, Barcelona and New York City.1. Tourists can ______ to appreciate the charm of Paris.A. enjoy crystal blue lakesB. visit its famous attractionsC. take a walk around cobblestone streetsD. meet the friendliest people you have ever met2. Which of the following points in Glacier National Park will really attract tourists?A. peaceful beaches.B. White-water rafting.C. Snow-capped mountains.D. Fresh mountain air.3. What’s the purpose of this passage?A. to introduce the top three destinations.B. to compare the top three destinations.C. to encourage people to live an adventurous lifestyle.D. to analyze the good and bad points of the three destinationsBSummer is quickly passing by—but not without the ultimate meteor(流星)shower event!The2021 Perseids Meteor Shower, which is considered to be the best meteor shower of the year, is expected to start lighting up skies on this Wednesday, according to NASA. Known for fireballs, the Perseids typically light up skies on warm summer nights, leaving “long wake(尾迹)of light and color1 behind them.”Under ideal conditions, sky watchers may see approximately 50-100 meteors per hour with each meteor traveling at 37 miles per second. .Because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky, it will be pretty easy to witness the celestial(天上的)event from anywhere in the world. To get the best show, it is advised to view the Perseids from the Northern Hemisphere(半球)during the pre- dawn hours, ideally between 2 a.m. and dawn. In some cases, sky gazers may be able to seemeteors during this shower as early as 9 or 10 p. m.“If it's not cloudy, pick an observing spot away from bright lights, lie on your back, and look up! You don't need any special equipment to view the Perseids—just your eyes,” NASA wrote on their site, adding that telescopes or binoculars are not recommended due to their small fields of view.Remember to let your eyes become adjusted to the dark. Try to stay off of your phone too, as looking at devices with bright screens will negatively affect your night vision and thus reduce the number of meteors you see!For those who may be unable to view the Perseids in person, a live broadcast will be streaming from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, starting around 8 p. m. on Aug. 11 and continuing through sunrise on Aug. 12.4. What can we learn about the Perseids Meteor Shower?A. It will be the best meteor shower in history.B. The ultimate shower only happens on this Wednesday.C. We can observe 50- 100 meteors per hour in any place.D. The Meteors usually have long and bright trails behind them.5. Which of the following may be the best time to view the shower?A. At 4 a. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.B. At 2 p. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.C. At sunrise on the Southern Hemisphere.D. At dawn on the Southern Hemisphere.6. What can be inferred about the observation of Meteors?A. If you use a telescope, you will see more meteors.B. You can use smartphones to record the grand scene.C. The brighter the moon is, the more meteors you can see. .D. Bright lights will reduce the visibility of meteors.7. If you are not available to watch the Perseids personally, you can ________.A. browse the unofficial website of NASAB. watch a video recorded by a flight centerC. stream a live show on Aug. 11 nightD. use special devices to connect with the showerCHave you ever imagined that your simple T-shirt could cool you down by up to5℃on these hot summer days? Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are many alternatives that manage to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those who are eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, look a completely innovative approach. They designed a special textile dial can absorb body heat and re-emit its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation (MIR). This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique that is known as radiative cooling, Science reveals. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like amirror.Research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3℃, but this previous trial was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking, and not directly facing the sky, like in their trials. They also need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are not in close contact with the skin.Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers and clothing brands that are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is basically the same as theirs,” old Yaoguang said.So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patient because your days of feeling hot and bothered may be corning to an end!8. What is the purpose of the new invention?A. To warm up people's body.B. To cool people off in hot weather.C. To detect the wearers' temperature.D. To protect clothes from becoming wet.9. How does the special product work?A. By turning sunlight into energy.B. By sending out absorbed heat.C. By keeping heat out completely.D. By using light color1 s to reflect sunlight.10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?A. The invention needs further testing.B. The previous studies lack evidence.C. The new fabric has a good cooling effect.D. The new fabric applies to various situations.11. The invention of the T-shirt may hean example of ________.A. barking up the wrong treeB. robbing Peter to pay PaulC. killing two birds with one stoneD. pulling the cart before the horseDIf there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls’ poor performance in science and math?It hasbeen suggested that girls do not take math courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine (女性的) and attractive (有魅力的).However, there are still more high-achieving boys than girls when taking math exams. This difference appearsto be worldwide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other explanations too.Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who gave answers.Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of math and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and math and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many math and science courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.12. Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1?A. To find differences between boys and girls.B. To explain the poor performance of girls.C. To ask readers a question.D. To introduce the topic.13. The text mainly discusses ________ reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements.A. biologicalB. personalC. socialD. historical14. What does the text say about great mathematicians?A. Their teachers did not offer answers to them.B. They started learning math at an earlier age.C. They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.D. Their success resulted from their strong interest in math.15. The author would probably agree that ________.A. boys and girls learn in the same wayB. boys and girls are equal in general intelligenceC. girls are more confident in themselves than beforeD. girls should take fewer science courses than boys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。

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain SharpEveryone is forgetful,but as we age,we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit﹣and that can be a very annoying thing.(36)Read on for some techniques worth trying.1.(37)People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (老年性痴呆症),according to a recent study.(38)____ simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short﹣term goals appear to do better.In other words,keep your brain looking forward.2.Go for a walk.Mildly raised glucose(葡萄糖)levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels.In fact,exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.(39)3.Learn something new.Take a Spanish class online,join a drawing club,or learn to play cards.A study found that mental stimulation limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind.But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.(40)Or you can just go dancing with your friends.A.Focus on the future.B.This can be especially harmful to the aged.C.It should be something like learning gardening.D.So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.E.But don't worry if our schedule isn't filled with life﹣changing events.F.Luckily,research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.G.In other words,when you take care of your body,you take care of your brain.参考答案:36﹣﹣﹣40 FAEGC每个人都是健忘的,但随着年龄的增长,我们开始觉得我们的大脑有点放缓,这可能是一个非常恼人的事情.本文讲述的是保持思维灵敏的简易方法.即:聚焦未来,散步,学习新知识.36.F 考查句意理解和上下文:根据后面的"Read on for some techniques worth trying."和下文的1,2,3 条就是避免思维迟钝的方法.选F37.A 考查句意理解和上下文:由下文There"s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short﹣term goals appear to do better.In other words,keep your brain looking forward.可知经常做计划,制定短期或长期目标的人会做得更好,要保持思维超前,故A 项正确.38.E 考查句意理解和上下文:由下文Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.可知:同朋友约会喝咖啡这样的简单事情也行,所以你不必担心.选E39.G 考查句意理解和上下文:由上文Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖)levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels.可知:锻炼能产生有益大脑的化学物质,后一句是进一步说明,故G 项正确.40.C 考查句意理解和上下文:由上句But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.可知对大脑最好的事情是你学新东西时,身体也要动,即脑力劳动和体力劳动相结合的事,就像学习园艺以及和朋友跳舞这样的事情.选C三、阅读理解18. There was a lot of news related to artificial intelligence, or AI, and machine learning. Among the stories were two dealing with direct competitions between humans and machines.In one competition, machines that used AI performed better than human beings in a high-level reading test. Two natural language processing tools beat human in the experiment. One of the tools was built by the American technology company Microsoft. The other was created by Chinese online seller Alibaba Group.In another competition, a computer took on humans in live, public debates.The event demonstrated how AI-powered computers are increasingly being developed to think ' and sound like humans. The organizer of the debates, U. S. technology company IBM, announced split results. It said a majority of those watching said they felt the machine had done more to improve their knowledge of the subject. But, the human got more praise for communicating their ideas.This year, we also explored the many ways AI and machine learning are now being used. For example, some U. S. judges use machine learning systems to help them decide when, and for how long, criminals should be jailed. The system uses computers to examine data from thousands of court cases.One fast-growing area of AI is facial recognition, which is increasingly being used for security purposes. Recently, Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport became the first in the U. s. to permit passengers to use facial recognition technology to get on flights. A Chinese company showed off an AI system it developed to recognize individuals by body shape and walking movements. The system is already being used by Chinese police in Beijing and Shanghai.In addition, machine learning was used during 2018 to predict results of the World Cup soccer competition. The technology also created artwork that sold for a large amount of money. And it is being used to help farmer save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals. Other technology systems are being used to follow farm animals and wildlife to collect information on their activities.28. Why were the two competitions mentioned in the passage?A. To show how much better AI and machine learning are than humans.B. To prove AI and machine Learning got more praise for communication.C. To show how powerful AI and machine Learning are.D. To prove AI and machine learning have been used in the work of U. S. judges.29. What are facial and body recognition systems used for in the passage?A. Knowledge learning.B. Safety control.C. Office automation.D. Tracking survey.30. What can we infer from this passage?A. AI has been widely used in every person's daily life.B. Human can be replaced by AI in future completely.C. More attention is being paid to AI in every part of the world.D. More advanced Al is helping people in more and more areas.31. Where is the text probably from?A. A technology report.B. A natural science magazine.C. A science fiction.D. A government document.参考答案:28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A这是一篇说明文。

AFour things that you can't miss in Macao.Macao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee JumpThe Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world's 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, such as gambling, eating and entertainment. One of the acclaimed activities is the bungee jump. The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Raise your arms and off you go! If you are not daring enough to jump that height, you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor ---it's still remarkable.Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinnerMacao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many comers of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people. Marking at the Ruins of St. PaulThe Ruins of St. Paul is the signature landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St.Paul'sCollege and the Church of St. Paul, built in 1583. However, after three intense fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. It is beyond belief that after the vigorous cycles of rebuilding and fires, the huge surface and the front stairway remain unburned.Visiting a museumMacao, as a tiny city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both Eastern and Western historical sites can be found. Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum.1. Which activity will be popular with adventurous visitors?A. Going Bungee Jumping.B. Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner.C. Marking at the Ruins of St. Paul.D. Visiting a museum.2. What is incredible about the Ruins of St. Paul?A. It has a unique culture.B. It serves as a symbol of Macao.C. It partly stays undamaged after fierce fires.D. It is a combination of a college and a church.3. What do "'Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner" and "Visiting a museum" have in common?A. Taking a selfie in it.B. Finding historical sites.C. Enjoying a breathtaking experience.D. Feeling both eastern and western cultures.BI was seven when I first questioned my imagination. I remember watching the first Harry Potter film and my friend was complaining that the characters weren't how she imagined them to be. I couldn't understand what she meant because, in my mind, they had never been images at all, just concepts. When l shut my eyes, I see nothing. I have no visual imagination.I thought everyone's minds worked this way until about two years ago, when I came acrossatext about aphantasia, a condition where you lack a functioning mind's eye. I was 23, and it blew my mind to learn that others could visualize things. It was clear I had aphantasia, too, and a lot of things started to make more sense. For me, imagination had always been impossible. If someone asked me to close my eyes and picture myself by the sea, I would see nothing.I am currently studying for a PhD in biology at college. A good little test for me is drawing. I can copy things almost like for like if they are in front of me, but if I were to draw from my imagination it would look terrible. It doesn't mean you cannot be creative; you just have to adapt. Regardless of how many times I read a technique, it didn't make sense. But when I came to do it in the lab, I understood it immediately. If you have a visual imagination, you can look at a diagram and it triggers your memory; but I learn by repetition or physically doing something.I'd love to experience life with a mind's eye. I think it'd be cool and beneficial to imagine things so vividly. If you offered me a day with a visual imagination, I'd be excited. I think it'd be so brilliant that I wouldn't want to give it back.4. After watching the first Harry Potter film, the author _____ .A. misunderstood what her friend saidB. became a huge fan of the Harry Potter filmC. found it impossible to picture its characters in her mindD. complained its characters different from what she imagined5. How did the author know she had aphantasia?A. Her friend told her the fact.B. She read about aphantasia.C. She had a medical examination.D. Her life experience made it clear.6. What can we learn about the author?A. She lacks creativity.B. She always draws terribly.C. She learns by hands-on practice.D. She gets benefit from techniques.7. What is the author's attitude towards her disability?A. Uncertain.B. Uncaring.C. Upset.D. Positive.CFor years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then.So what's the solution? Robots.Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and other items. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be implemented in hospitals because ithas fairly minimal patient contact.A robot's appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the RIKEN-TRI Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse called Actroid F. It is so human-like that some patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions. During a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and "only three or four said they didn't like having it around."It's important to note that robotic nurses don't decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses, though robot doctors and surgeons may not be far off. Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the interaction of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement.8. What does the author say about Japan?A. It ranks top in future robotics technology.B. It takes the lead in offering robotic nursing.C. It is in desperate need of registered nurses.D. It provides the best medication for the elderly.9. Which of the following best explains “implemented'' underlined in Paragraph 3?A. Cancelled.B. Constructed.C. Improved.D. Applied.10. What do we know about the robot Actroid F?A. It has no difference from a human nurse.B. It gets favorable remarks from all the patients.C. It interacts with patients like a human companion.D. It uses body language even more effectively than words.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Cooperation will not be replaced.B. Nurses will still play their roles.C. The robotics industry will be promising.D. Robots can meet patients' immediate needs.DWhy should most of us hate spiders when we know deeply how much good they do? Is it because they somehow seem so alien? After all, what other land creatures on earth have eight legs? What other creatures spin silk webs in which to catch and wrap their prey to preserve it for the future, much as we put food in the fridge to eat later? I do not personally suffer from arachnophobia, the name given to an abnormal fear of spiders, but I can't say that I like the little beasts. However, some peopledo, and they actually keep them as pets!There is a wide variety of spiders in the world. In fact it has been estimated that there are some 35,000 species——from little "money spiders" that live in your back garden, to the "black widow spider", and the “tarantula” ,the spider that is now sometimes kept as a pet.A tarantula can be any one of a large hairy spiders family and there are about 800 species of them. While experts can tell the difference between species at a glance, most are usually described in reference books as “rather slowly" with “a strong bite which may be poisonous”. They are covered with hairs which can cause a rash (皮疹)if they are handled.No one has calculated the number of human deaths caused by a bite from a tarantula perhaps because it has never happened, or happened so rarely, and indeed a tarantula will do no harm to anyone if handled correctly. Their disgusting image cannot belie their gentle nature but experts tell us not to handle a tarantula without expert advice.Tarantulas are popular as pets and it requires very little space to maintain them in excellent condition. They should be kept singly in a glass container, which need not be very large but should have a layer of stones in the bottom. They feed on insects, and while young tarantulas eat twice a week, adults will often eat no more than once every 10 days.You might like the idea of keeping a tarantula, but personally I am content with just watching them at a distance.12. According to the text, why do most people dislike spiders?A. They are abnormal beasts.B. They take food from fridges.C. They have unpleasant appearance.D. They make people suffer from arachnophobia.13. What do we know about the tarantula?A. It must be kept in groups.B. It feeds on poisonous insects.C. It doesn't belong to hairy spiders.D. It has mild nature if handled properly.14. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The death caused by a tarantula.B. The number of human deaths.C. The bite from a tarantula.D. The rash caused by hairs.15. What's the best title for the text?A. Never judge a book by its cover.B. Nothing seek, nothing find.C. No sweet without sweat.D. Once bitten, twice shy.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。

AWith over 2.4 million visitors every year, Cinque Terre is one of the most-visited regions in Italy. Cinque Terreis truly special. The five candy-colored fishing villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Comiglia, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare are built into cliffs over the clean and brightly-shining Ligurian Sea. Whether you’re visiting the region for a few days or a few weeks, these are the experiences you should add to your trip pleasure.★Take a scenic hike.It’s easy to visit each of the attractive villages on foot. The most popular hike is the coastal path Sentiero Azzuro.It links all five villages and offers extremely beautiful scenery of the sea, architecture and vineyards(葡萄园). It takes about six hours to go across, with short breaks, but most people are going to stop in the villages for food and swimming.★Eat seafood in a cone(锥形).Dessert lovers might think that Italian ice-cream is the best thing to be served in a cone but make room for seafood cones as well. Thanks to its coastal location, Cinque Terre is full of seafood restaurants.★Get on a boat.If the weather cooperates, take the time to get out on the water. The villages look very beautiful from a boat. The cheapest and easiest way is to jump on the public ferry from one of the villages to the next, but these boats are often crowded. It’s far more relaxing to take a private cruise, which departs from the docks in Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare.★Take the train.Cinque Terre’s train system is one of the most scenic in Europe. The high-speed train runs through each of thefive villages every 20 minutes or so. And the whole line is directly on the coast, offering lovely views of the Ligurian Sea and rocky cliffs.1. What is special about the five candy-colored fishing villages?A. Their special location.B. Their long history.C. Their delicious foods.D. Their friendly villagers.2. What is the favorite food for the hikers in the five villages?A. Italian noodles.B. Italian ice-cream.C. Italian wines.D. Seafood cones.3. What is the best way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food?A. Taking a private ferry to the villages.B. Walking with short breaks on the coast.C. Taking a scenic hike along the coastal path.D. Taking the train running through the villages.BIt can be a real struggle trying to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children’s books printed in the target language.At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, but then I realized thateveryone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarize our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot.As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter of your chosen children’s book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story. Additionally, a lot of children’s books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.4. Why was the author advised to read children’s books?A. She was weak in reading great works.B. She was slow to learn language.C. She liked children’s literature.D. She couldn’t remember any words.5. What can be got from children’s books according to the passage?A. V ocabulary and listening skills.B. Learning methods.C. Words and structures.D. Designing skills.6. What surprised the author while reading children’s books?A. Grasping the context from the pictures.B. Looking up the definitions of words from a dictionary.C. Getting familiar with the plots of the story.D. Understanding the words simply from the context.7. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Reading Children’s BooksB. The Way of Learning LanguagesC. The Method of Using DictionaryD. My Good Reading HabitsCWith self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots forthe final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in SnohomishCounty, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.To accelerate Scout’s development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likelyrequires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all times-if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reachconsumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.8.What are many companies developing autonomous robots for?A. Final tests.B. The so-called last mile.C. Robots’ safety.D. Delivery speed.9.What can we infer about Scout from paragraph 2?A. It looks like a cooler.B. It adjusts its speed accordingly.C. Its sensors play a key role.D. It will be widely used soon.10.What does the underlined phrase "prior to" in paragraph 4 mean?A. beforeB. afterC. in front ofD. due to11.From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A newspaper.D. A travel brochure.DWood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable(耐用的), easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent(透明的).Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the material may even beable 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 158F 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 semi-transparent 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 manufacturersimprove 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. Cheapness.B. Durability.C. Sustainability.D. Transparency.13. Which of the following is not the process in which the transparent wood is made?A. Dip the wood into a polymer.B. Reduce the amount of the polymer.C. Make the wood lignin-free.D. Bake the wood for some time.14. What’s the purpose of using the transparent wood in buildings?A. To protect privacy.B. To scale out applications.C. To get more natural light.D. To observe more clearly.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.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。

But the concept itself isn 't scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “ greenhouse gases ”g oes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth 's temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier 's ideas spreto be called “the greenhouse effect ”.Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “ might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings While Arrhenius ' findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to findstrong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long -term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect —still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more carefulof what he wished for.4.What does the underlined word “it ” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The climate change.B. The greenhouse effect.C. The atmosphere.D. The heat from the sun.5.When did the scientists first find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.D. 200 years ago.6.W hat 's the author 's attitude towards Arrhenius wish?A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Ambiguous.knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci 'ms ost seems tolook back at observers, following them with heryes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledgeA new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that degrees off to the observer's right —well outside of the range that people normally believe when theythink someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, looking at you.” This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person 凝视)in 's gaz a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect ” . absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as theangle of the person 's gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial -intelligence avatars ( 虚拟头像 ) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa ” and realized she wasn 't looking at him. To make sure it wasn 't just him, the researchers asked 24 peop to view images of the “Mona Lisa ” on a computer screen.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn 't sure. It 's possibleh,e said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect ”jus t thought it was a cool name.8. What is generally believed about the woman in the painting“Mona Lisa ”?A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.9. What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?7. W hat 's the main idea of thetext?A. Causes of climate change.C. Findings about globalB. Effects of greenhouse gases. D. Explorations on climateIt 'cso mmon mous painting rns outwrong.C.D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A.To confirm Horstmann ' s belief.B.To create artificial -intelligence avatars.C.To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa ' s gaze.D.To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.11.What can we learn from the text?A.Horstmann thinks it ' s cool to coin the term “ Mona Lisa effect ”.B.The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C.Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers ' judgment.DSparrow is a fast -food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast - food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast -food chains wereunwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain 'osw ner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy 's restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers 'sp ending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast -food industry. The TVads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast -food chains in the regions where it operated.12.Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A.The number of its customers was declining.B.Its customers found the food unhealthy.C.It was in need of financial support.D.Most of its restaurants were closed.13.For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A. To build a good relationship with the public.B.To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C.To learn about customers ' spending power.D.To meet the challenge from Marcy 's restaurants.14.What do know about the TV ads of Sparrow?A. They changed people 's views on pop stars.B.They amused the public with original songs.C.They focused on the superiority of its products.D. They influenced the eating habits of the audience.15.What was Pearson ' s achievement as a CEO?A. He managed to pay off Sparrow ' s debts.B.He made Sparrow much more competitive.C.He helped Sparrow take over a company.D.He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.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。

笑傲考场麵操练2020年高考英语模拟试题■山东省日照市教育科学研究中心李克峰第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共I5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、D四个选项中 选出最佳选项。

AWhen it comes to historical Italian coffee, you cannot help but talk of Venice. It is in this city that the tradition of coffee was bom, and then spread to the rest of Italy.Caffe FlorianCaffe Florian was founded in 1720. From then on, this ele­gant building has been characterized by its high-quality products and well-known guests: here, noblemen, politicians and intellec­tuals (知识分子)would meet. Today, the caf6 is an important cultural center where exhibitions are organized. But it remains an ideal place for tourists who simply want to enjoy an espresso sit­ting at a little table in the heart of Venice, a few steps from the Grand Canal.Gran Caffe QuadriAlso in St. Mark’s Square, there is another historic cafe thatsince 1775 has earned an important place among the many. Gran Caffe Quadri represents the memory of centuries in the late period of the Republic of Venice, and the birth of the modem age, and the secrets of the famous people who sat in its halls. Even to­day, Gran Caffe Quadri is a favorite of actors and directors attend­ing the Venice Film Festival.H arry's BarMore recent, but equally absorbing, is the story of Harry's Bar, opened in 1931 and declared a national monument in 2001. Built from an old warehouse (仓库)close to Piazza San Marco, Harry’s Bar owes its name and existence to the American student Harry Pickering. This is not strictly a coffee bar, but inside intel­lectuals, artists, writers such as Arturo Toscanini, Guglielmo Mar­coni, Charlie Chaplin, all spent time.Caffe La CalcinaMoving to the southern limit of the city, in the ancient neigh­borhood called Le Zattere, we will find Caff6 La Calcina, another important spot that was a meeting place for artists and writers in the early 1900s. The place is now a bar and restaurant called La Piscina, in memory of the bathhouse with a pool that used to be there.1. Where would you go if you are interested in cultural events?A. Caffe Florian.B. Gran Caffe Quadri.C. Harry’s Bar.D. Caffe La Calcina.2. Harry * s Bar was named after_____.A. an old warehouseB. a famous movie starC. an artist in VeniceD. an American student3. What do the four caf6s have in common?A. They were built from old houses.B. They are on the decline nowadays.C. They were popular among celebrities.D. They are located in St. Mark’s Square.BEarthworms (虫丘虫引)were the beginning of a childhood dream for Jane Goodall. Her mother told a story of going to Goodall’s room when she was one and a half years old.‘‘ She ’ d found I ’ d taken a whole handful of earthworms to •bed with me,,’Goodall said, u and instead of getting mad, she said very quietly, ‘ They ’11die if you leave them here, they need dirt. “So together we took them back into the garden.”“I never went to university after school because we couldn’t afford it,” she said. Since college was impossible, she got a secre­tarial job with Louis Leakey, the famous biologist.It was in the Serengeti plains that Leakey realized Goodall was capable of much more than a secretary. “He just saw that I was very passionate about being out in the wilderness and animals and that I was a good observer,” Goodall said.Leakey sent Goodall to Tanzania to observe chimpanzees (黑60广东教育•高中2021年第6期GUANG DONG JIAO YU GAO ZHONG獲獲)in the wild in hopes that their behavior could help explain his research on early humans.Goodall was surprised by the chimps’love for one another and the bonds between families.She also was surprised when she witnessed one chimpanzee removing the leaves from a small branch and using it as a tool to catch ants.4<At that time,we were defined as the only tool-mak­ing creature on the planet/*Goodall said.Goodall sent a telegram to Leakey,who replied,“Scientists are faced with tw o alterna­tives:Either accept chimpanzees as man,by definition,or else re-define man.”There is no sharp line dividing us from the rest of the animal kingdom,”Goodall said.“It’s a very indistinct line,and it teaches us so clearly that we are not separate from the rest of the animal kingdom,but part of it.”At 86 years old,Goodall still is educating,discovering and working to bridge the gap between man and chimpanzee.4.What do we know about Goodall’s mother?A.She was strict.B.She was bad-temperedC.She was wise.D.She was well-educated.5.What did Louis Leakey find in Goodall?A.Her interest in living in the wilderness.B.Her patience to look after animals.C.Her ability to do secretarial work.D.Her talent for observing animals.6.Why does Goodall suggest either accepting chimpanzees as man or redefine man?A.She witnessed chimpanzees can catch ants.B.She found chimpanzees can make tools.C.She watched the chimps*love for man.D.She accepted chimpanzees as man.7.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Goodall found interest in observing chimps.B.Goodall devoted her life to studying chimps.C.Goodall was inspired by her mother to study chimps.D.Goodall gave up college to observe animals in the wild.cWhen you go to a grocery store(食品杂货店),you expect to pay for your goods with money.But students at a high school in Texas,US,opened a store that runs on good deeds.In November,students from Linda Tutt High School in the city of Sanger opened a grocery store that enables students to buy necessities using a point system.The store aims to support fami­lies in need.M In our school district,a good many students are considered economically disadvantaged,”explained Anthony Love,principal of Linda Tutt.M About 3.6 percent of our students are considered homeless.We thought it important to support them and their fami­lies and make sure they had food on the table/*Students earn points by contributing positively to the school. For those students from poor families,the point system has pro­vided a way for them to shop for their families.44They can earn points for doing chores (杂活)around the building or helping to clean,”Love said.The number of points for each item was actually decided by the students.M So we walked through here and decided that a can of green beans was one point,”said Paul Juarez,the director of First Refuge Ministries.Juarez said that he hopes the idea gets implemented (实施)in other areas.“It gives us a picture of what can be.So if we can do this inside other schools,it will do a whole lot to help other small towns.”In addition to the financial benefits,students also learn about supply management and customer service,and such lessons could prepare them for future jobs.The grocery store1s student manager, Hunter Weertman,said he has already learned important life skills from his experience at the store.The store practice was also welcomed by Thomas Muir, Sanger’s mayor.“We all had our first jobs and it taught us how to work,and what you got for your work,”he said.“I think this will do that for them too,and also meet an immediate need/*8.Why did the students open the grocery store?A.To support poor families.B.To learn to manage money.C.To finish their research project.D.To provide students with necessities.9.How could the students earn points?A.By doing chores at home.B.By shopping for their families.C.By doing good deeds at school.D.By volunteering in the community.10. What is Juarez's opinion on the grocery store?A.It still has some room for improvement.B.It has set a good example to other schools.C.It needs financial support from other schools.D.It has helped poor families in other small towns.11. What does the author intend to tell us in the last two paragraphs?A.The benefits from the store practice.B.The future jobs the students can get.C.The methods of doing a job well.D.The measures to meet an immediate need.DThere’s loads of research that shows that spending time in广东教育•高中2021年第6期 61n傲考场娜操练nature is good for your health and well-being.But not everyone lives near a park.And not everyone can easily get outdoors.So, what happens when you bring nature into your home via TV?A new study finds that a virtual nature experience can have some of the same effects.For the study,researchers from the University of Exeter in the U.K.brought 96 adults into a lab and created boredom by having them watch a four-minute video of a man discussing his work at an office supply company.Then,the study participants experienced scenes of an under-water coral reef (珊湖瞧)scene from the BBC’s“Blue nanet II,’series.They watched it on TV,with a virtual reality headset using 360-degree video,or with a virtual reality headset using computer-generated interactive graphics (交互式图形)•Researchers found that all three methods greatly reduced negative feelings like sadness and significantly lowered boredom. The interactive virtual reality experience actually increased posi­tive feelings,such as happiness,and strengthened the connections people said they had to nature.4<I think we were m ost surprised that just watching nature on TV led to positive changes across each of our measures,suggest­ing that even short,five-minute bursts of watching natural history programming can have an effect on well-being,”study co-author Alex Smalley says.Originally,the motivation behind the study was to research benefits for people who were stuck indoors,such as those in nurs­ing homes or people recovering from illness.But there are entirely new positive results in today*s world due to COVID-19.“We never imagined a pandemic (流行病)would mean the results might apply to such a big part of the global population,’’Smalley says. “We’d always recommend trying to get out into nature wherever possible but for those who can’t,our findings suggest that digital experiences of nature could provide a short-term fix/*12.What’s the new study about?A.The significance of living a green life.B.The effects of watching nature on TV.C.The necessity of going out into nature.D.The methods of increasing positive feelings.13. Why did researchers ask the participants to watch a four- minute video?A.To observe their different reactions.B.To let them know more about life.C.To attract their attention.D.To make them feel bored.14. What can we learn about the researchers from Alex Smalley’s words?A.They will carry out the study across the world.B.They found m ost people surprised at their study.C.They had some unexpected findings in the study.D.They suggested people watch TV for a short while.15.Who would probably be m ost interested in the study?A.People who are kept indoors.B.People who work in hospitals.C.People who enjoy watching TV.D.People who travel on business.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分115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年湖北省巴东一中高三英语模拟试题及参考答案

2020年湖北省巴东一中高三英语模拟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AWhen it comes to the greatest inventions of the world, China’s name is sure to be mentioned several times. There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.AlcoholShocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.TeaChina is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.The Mechanical ClockHave you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.Silk FabricSilk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A.people in the US like alcoholB.beer was popular in the Xia DynastyC.Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accidentD.the author didn’t know alcohol is a Chinese invention2.The author asks the question in Paragraph 4 to show ________.A.ancient Chinese inventors were wiserB.many things in our lives are incompleteC.ancient Chinese people never wasted timeD.the invention of the mechanical clock is important3.Which of the following invention has a longer history?A.Tea.B.Alcohol.C.Silk fabric.D.The mechanical clock.BBertha von Suttner received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905—she was the first woman to receive it, and also the inspiration for the creation of the Nobel Prize.She met Alfred Nobel, a rich millionaire, by answering hisnewspaper ad for a secretary. Although she only worked for him for a few weeks, she remained good friends with Alfred Nobel for the next 20 years. When she became involved in the peace movement inEurope, she promised to keep Nobel informed of its progress. When Alfred Nobel died in 1896, his will included the establishment of a peace prize, thanks to Bertha von Suttner’s influence.Bertha von Suttner was born in an aristocratic (贵族) military family, but she spent the second half of her life working for peace. She wrote books, attended peace conferences, gave lectures and helped organize peace societies inAustria,GermanyandHungary, as well as the International Peace Bureau inSwitzerland. Her novel Lay Down your Arms, was one of the most influential anti-war books of all time, and helped to make her a leader of the peace movement in Europe. Its end to war theme was both the ambition (抱负) and the most important goal in the life of this great woman.Bertha von Suttner worked so hard for peace because she believed that a terrible war would break out inEuropeif nations didn’t work hard to establish lasting peace institutions. She made many major achievements for a more peaceful world, but two months after she died, World War I broke out. A hundred years after she won the Nobel Peace Prize, nations still seem to view war as a choice to work out their problems. But like Bertha von Suttner did, many today are working hard around the world to help strengthen peace institutions and spread the idea that it’s time to put an end to war.4. Which of the following is true about Bertha von Suttner?A. She worked for Alfred Nobel for 20 years.B. She helped Alfred Nobel draw up his will.C. She persuaded Alfred Nobel to join the peace movement.D. She inspired Alfred Nobel to establish the Nobel Peace Prize.5. Paragraph 3 is mainly about Bertha von Suttner’s _____________.A. efforts and contributions to the peace movement.B. family background and work experiences.C. writing career and life experiences.D. ambition and goals in life.6. What do we know aboutLay Doun Your Arms?A. It was based on a true story.B. It recorded Bertha von Suttner’s daily life.C. It was about an aristocratic military family.D. It showed Bertha von Suttner’s wish for peace.7. What can we infer about Bertha von Suttner from the last paragraph?A. Her fight for peace is still shared by many.B. She failed to found peace institutions.C. She successfully predicted awar.D. She lost her life in World War I.CWhen my friend suggested going to the op shop (二手商店),instantly I thought “I hope no one I know sees me”. It was the same when my cousin commented on my new furniture and Japanese, fine-bone-china bowls and asked where I got them. They were from the local op shop but instead I said “from the antique shop”.Many people in my Greek-Cypriot community would look down on me if I said I shopped at the op shop. They may pity me, consider me poor, a failure. Immigrants sacrificed their families and homes for a better life. Buying a house and having enough money to live comfortably, to educate your children and see them also live comfortably, are a big part of the immigrant dream, But has this dream made us materialistic at the cost of our own planet?Our love for purchasing the latest trendy clothes or furniture, then donating them when we are tired of them has become normal. I was once like this. But after watching the documentaryThe True CostI learned donated clothes that don’t get sold are sent to developing nations, many of them ending up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). In addition, your new dress requires electricity and materials to make. But if you buy a second-hand dress, that’s one less dress in a landfill and one less new dress to be made.A friend introduced me to op shopping only a few years ago. My firstitem was a dress she gifted me. It waslovely and I loved it. Nobody could tell it was second-hand. This opened me up to purchasing more second-hand high quality branded clothes. Once I visited a friend and was impressed by how she decorated her apartment. “It’s all second-hand,” she said. I couldn’t believe it. The truth is a lot of things sold at the op shop are in new or almost new condition. That’s when I made the decision to only buy second-hand things.Selling second-hand things isn’t anything new butwhat the planet needs is more buyers. There is so much excess (过量) production in the world. So stop feeling ashamed, and let’s get shopping.8. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?A. Pride.B. Embarrassment.C. Delight.D. Sympathy.9. Whatare many people in the author’s community like?A. They are probably materialistic.B. They care about the environment.C. They think highly of op shopping.D. They look down upon immigrants.10. What was the author encouraged to do after visiting her friend’s apartment?A. Watch the documentaryThe True Cost.B. Donate more to local charities.C. Avoid shopping too much.D. Stop buying new things.11. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To entertain.B. To advertise.C. To persuade.D. To describe.DYour house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self­conscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the color1 s. Research suggests warm color1 s fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm color1 s like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold color1 s make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makesyou less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12­inch plate instead of a 10­inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.12. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____________.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD.healthy diets13. A home environment in blue can help people ______________.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites14. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Waysof Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self­ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?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年上海市嘉定区徐行中学高三英语模拟试题含解析

2020年上海市嘉定区徐行中学高三英语模拟试题含解析一、选择题1. Making a proper choice ______ the future will probably make much difference in our life.A. concerningB. to concernC. concernedD. having concerned参考答案:A2.

Chinese scientists have made great advances in satellite technology, I suppose is of great significance to all mankind.A. in which caseB. for which reasonC. whichD. what参考答案:C选C。

考察which引导非限制性定语从句。

which在从句中作主语,代指主句的内容,用逗号隔开,从句中I suppose为插入语。

中国科学家在卫星技术方面取得了巨大进步,我想这对于整个人类都是有重要意义的。

【名师点睛】as 和which都可以引导非限制性定语从句,究竟用as 引导还是用which 引导呢?现归纳如下:1. as /which 位置不同as 和which 都可以指代主句中的一部分或整个句子的内容,有时可以互换,但as 引导的非限制性定语从句位置比较灵活,可以位于主句前面,中间或后面,一般用逗号与主句隔开,而which 所引导的非限制性定语从句只能放在主句之后。

例如:As is expected, our school team won the football match.2.as /which 在句子中意义不同as 在引导非限性定语从句中有时有“正如”、“正像”之意,而which 则无此意。

ASome of the greatest scientists of all time are women who have made important discoveries in a variety offields in science.Several of their contributions throughout history are even more than men’s contributions.Our listof the most famous female scientists below are organized in order of popularity so you can read about the advancements that they made.Marie Curie(1867-1934)Famous For:Work on radioactivityMarie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize and the only woman to win this award in two fields: Physics and Chemistry.She discovered polonium and radium and her work helped with the creation of X-rays.Jane Goodall(1934)Famous For:Primate(灵长类)studiesJane Goodall is known world-wide for her groundbreaking studies on primates.She is considered as the top expert on chimps in the world and is perhaps best known for her45-year study on the social lives of these animals in Tanzania.Rita Levi-Montalcini(1909-2012)Famous For:Nerve growth studiesRita Levi-Montalcini was a neurologist(神经病学家)who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1986for her findings in Nerve Growth Factor(NGF).She was the first Nobel prize winner to live past her100th birthday.Lise Meitner(1878-1968)Famous For:Work on radioactivity and nuclear physicsLise Meitner was a key member of a group that discovered nuclear fission(裂变).One of her colleagues,Otto Hahn,was given the Noble Prize for this work.That Meitner didn’t get the award is considered to be a huge error by the Nobel committee.1.Who is still contributing to the world?A.Marie Curie.B.Jane Goodall.C.Rita Levi-Montalcini.D.Lise Meitner.2.What did Rita Levi-Montalcini reseach on?A.Nerve growth.B.The wildlife.C.Nuclear explosion.D.Radioactivity.3.What do we know about Lise Meitner?A.She was awarded the Nobel Prize.B.She made a big mistake in her work.C.She did lots of studies about nerve growth.D.She made great contributions to nuclear physics.BKnowing more about science than the average middle student,Caroline Crouchley,13,of Garden City is a finalist in the20193M Young Scientist Challenge.The annual competition tasks students in grades fifth to eighth with making a video tracing a unique solution to an everyday problem.Crouchley is one of10finalists chosen out of thousands of students this year.After watching her brother enter the competition several years ago,Crouchley,who has always loved science, couldn’t wait for her turn.In May,she submitted a two-minute video about her idea to the organizer to create growing methods of public transportation.When she found out she was a finalist in June,she couldn’t believe it.Crouchley’s project was inspired by the construction she sees every day outside her window in Garden City,as well as the Long Island Railroad’s recent expansion.She noticed transportation causes pollution in her community, and she was determined to find a way to stop it.“Maybe one day,we can have better technology and find a way to help the environment,”Crouchley said.In her video,Crouchley explains that the use of fossil fuels let out by public transportation is a major cause of environmental problems.She believes technology that reduces the need for a diesel(柴油)engine or an electric motor is the solution.To show her idea in action,she designed a new type of train.Crouchley created a computerized system design model for her train using an engineering program called Autodesk Inventor.She brought the train to life using a3D printer,magnets(磁铁)and a solar-powered air compressor(压缩机).Crouchley said it took a long time to develop her ideas and make the video.She had to work under deadlines,too,which she said was stressful.4.What’s the competition about?A.Solving daily problems.B.Knowing about science.C.Meeting personal curiosity.D.Answering the question on science.5.Which can replace the underlined word“tracing”in paragraph1?A.arrestingB.overcomingC.describingD.accumulating6.What’s the purpose of Crouchley’s project?A.To help protect the environment.B.To invent a new kind of transportation.C.To inspire teenagers to struggle for their dreams.D.To find a solution to avoid using transportation.7.Which of the following best describes Crouchley?A.Energetic.B.Creative.C.Humorous.D.Demanding.CYou might easily gain access to fresh fruit and vegetables,but this isn’t the case in some parts of America.The U.S.has many areas that are considered as food deserts,which are defined as parts of the country short of fresh fruit, vegetables and other healthy food,usually found in poor areas.Food deserts are urban areas where the nearest grocery store is more than1mile away,and rural areas where the nearest grocery store is more than10miles away.According to the USDA,19million Americans—or6.2%of the population—live in places that can be considered as food deserts.The issue isn’t necessarily about the difference in cost between healthy and unhealthy foods in these areas but it’s about a lack of access to healthy choices at all.And,with the lack of healthy food choices,these areas typically have a large supply of unhealthy foods sold at fast-food companies and convenience stores.Eating unhealthy foods can lead to overweight,which puts people at risk for all kinds of major health issues, including high blood pressure,heart disease,and some cancers.But some people,especially those who cannot afford a car,are stuck with eating what’s readily available.In the case of food deserts,it’s usually the type of food that can lead to overweight.Studies have shown that this is likely to be a problem in low-income areas.When money is not enough,people tend to buy foods that last longer and remove food waste,which is a waste of their limited income.Lack of access is only one part of the problem,however.A study published in2018found that food inequality wasn’t removed.The bigger issue was likely the lack of education and nutritional knowledge in these communities, which prevents people with lower incomes from understanding the benefits of healthy eating.While overweight is a significant issue in these communities,the cost of unhealthy eating isn’t just physical.A study found that71billion dollars in healthcare costs due to chronic diseases could be saved through healthier eating.8.What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A.6.2%of the Americans live in poor areas.B.Some parts of the USA lack fresh vegetables.C.Some people in America don’t need fresh fruit.D.People in the food deserts buy fresh vegetables easily.9.Why can fast-food companies sell large amounts of unhealthy food in the food deserts?A.These areas are rich in unhealthy food materials.B.Fast-food companies want to make a larger profit.C.Healthy food choices are unavailable in these areas.D.People in these areas prefer unhealthy food to healthy food.10.What do studies say about people in low-income areas?A.They are less likely to have overweight problems.B.They are delighted to prepare food for themselves.C.They have to buy food that can be preserved longer.D.They are used to eating food donated by food companies.11.What stops people from understanding healthy eating benefits in the food deserts?ck of government financial support.ck of knowledge of disease prevention.ck of social promotion of healthy eating.ck of education and knowledge in nutrition.DRescuing victims from a burning building,a chemical spill,or any disaster that is inaccessible to human responders could one day be a task for adaptable robots.Imagine,for instance,rescue-robots rising up on two legs can bound through rubble(碎石),push aside a heavy obstacle,or break through a locked door.Engineers are improving the design of four-legged robots and their ability to run,jump and even do back leaps. But getting two-legged,human-like robots to use force or push against something without falling has been a lion in the way.Now engineers at MIT and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a method to control balance in a two-legged,tele-operated robot—an essential step toward enabling a human-like to carry out high-impact tasks in challenging environments.The team’s robot,physically resembling a machined body and two legs,is controlled remotely by a human operator wearing a vest that sends information about the human’s motion and ground reaction forces to the robot.Through the vest,the human operator can direct and experience the robot’s movements.If the robot is starting to tip over,the human feels the same pull on the vest and can adjust in a way to rebalance both himself and the robot.In experiments with the robot to test this new“balance feedback”approach,the researchers were able to remotely maintain the robot’s balance as it jumped and walked in sync(同步)with its human operator.“It’s like running with a heavy backpack—you can feel how the dynamics(力)of the backpack move around you,and you can make up properly,”says Joao Ramos,who developed the approach as an MIT Postdoctor.“Now if you want to open a heavy door,the human can command the robot to throw its body at the door and push it open, without losing balance.”12.What’s the function of the first paragraph?A.Advertise a new robot.B.Show the appearance of the robot.C.Tell the principle of the two-legged robot.D.Introduce the purpose of the two-legged robot.13.What is the trouble with human-like robots?A.It’s hard for them to do back leaps.B.It’s hard for them to keep their balance.C.They can’t push against anything hard.D.They often fall down when meeting the lions.14.What is special about the robot research at MIT?A.The tested robot’s actions can be felt by the human operator.B.The robot is tested in challenging environments.C.The data on the tested robot is sent by phones.D.The tested robot has a voice-control system.15.Which is the best title for the text?A.The Strength of Two-legged RobotB.The Development History of RobotC.A New Four-legged Rescuing RobotD.New Research on Two-legged Robot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能填入空白处的最佳选项。
