2023届湖北省新高考联盟普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟考试(三)英语试题(含解析)
2023届湖北省新高考联盟普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟考试（三）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The United Kingdom is a land of natural beauty and history, with many of its finest attractions discovered through hiking. Now, dust off your boots, plan according to the following routes presented by a survey of senior hikers and an incredible experience will wait for you.Wales Coastal PathWales is the only country in the world that has an official walking path covering its whole borders. The Wales Coastal Path is a footpath stretching 870 miles from Chester to Chepstow. Walking the whole thing might be demanding, but there are plenty of stretches that can be enjoyed over a day or two.Southwest Coast PathYou need a fair amount of annual leave, a casual 52 days or so, to undertake this in one go. The route runs from Somerset all the way to Dorset, via rugged cliffs, cute fishing villages and surfing spots along the coastline. You can surely jump on to any point as you like, but you can't afford to miss all the pubs full of jokes and laughter on the way!Coast to Coast WalkThis long-distance trail isn’t official, but popular in the country, taking hikers from the Irish Sea to the North Sea as it rolls into historic Robin Hood’s Bay in Yorkshire. Following local footpaths, the route takes you through three UK National Parks: the Lakes, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors.Cleveland WayYou’ll want nine days to folly complete this hike, which explores both the North York Moors and the county’s world-famous coastline. Just make sure you allow enough time to properly enjoy spots like Roseberry Topping hill and pick up a gentle afternoon walk at Whitby’s clifftop church.1．Who will be more interested in the routes?A．Explorers in the UK.B．Hiking lovers.C．Nature photographers.D．Field researchers.4．Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu?A．Diverse.B．Busy.C．Risky.D．Tough. 5．What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?A．I just introduced my family by mistake.B．I shouldn’t have introduced my family. C．I gave false information about my family.D．I couldn’t help introducing my family. 6．What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about?A．Durrell’s rich imagination.B．Some interesting plots of the book. C．The book’s writing feature.D．Some vivid descriptions of the island. 7．What is the purpose of this text?A．To share an experience.B．To introduce a writing style.C．To recommend a book.D．To describe an unusual place.Traditionally, profiting from forests often meant capitalizing on timber (木材) —choosing commercial timber. Yet increasingly, there is an understanding that it’s of greater significance to keep trees standing than cut them down for financial profit. Money is not everything. We have to recognize real and lasting value is from natural resources. But money is a fact of life.Good news is that we can expect entire natural woodland is left undamaged and still provides a revenue (收益) stream. Leaving woodland complete does not necessarily mean that we do not touch it at all. Conservation work may involve building back biodiversity or the removal of foreign plant species.A healthy woodland system can provide a range of yields (产物). Besides eatable yields—top fruit, berries, and food crops, it produces substances for chemical use. Thenon-timber forest products provided by natural ecosystems vary significantly depending on where they are. But there are always more ways to explore to acquire revenue.A project in the UK, for example, shows woodland itself is also a draw for visitors. It engages a community who creates a sustainable area of woodland. The community largely obtains revenue by opening up parts of the natural woodland to the public with an adventure playground and outdoor recreational activities on the site. It also offers courses on nest building, special wildlife events and more. The project is thought to have great uniqueness. It centers round the existing natural land; the yields that woodland provides become by products.Watergen’s ERV is designed to bring water to people suffering from the effects of a serious earthquake, fire, flood or other situations. Once such an incident occurred in California in 2018. A fire started at a camp site and spread quickly over a wide area destroying many thousands of acres of trees and many homes. One of Watergen’s ERVs was driven there and it provided water for its citizens and rescue workers. Besides, they also provided clean safe water for the residents of Texas and Florida in the aftermath of the destruction caused by hurricane Harvey and Irma.12．What can we know about Watergen’s devices?A．They’re available in different sizes.B．They’re made in numerous countries. C．They’re extremely hard to operate.D．They’re powerless in polluted areas. 13．The GENNY adds minerals to________.A．keep the water fresh and clean B．remove dust from the water C．improve the flavor of the water D．meet the water safety criteria 14．What can Watergen do using its ERV?A．Help rebuild the destroyed homes.B．Outperform its competitors. C．Supply electricity to local people.D．Respond to natural disasters. 15．What would be the best title for the text?A．GENNY: Water Generator via Filters B．GENNY: Water Production from Air C．GEN-350: Water Source for Hospitals D．GEN-350: Water Supplier to the Needy三、完形填空四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、建议信六、读后续写47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Different species can be found there.BSome years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation system？It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret. Suddenly a thought ran through my mind: you can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places, without guides or even advanced bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.The point is that the new, along with the different, is almost scary by definition. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I'll go on doing such things. It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.4. The author accepted the assignment because_________.A. he had never travelled abroad beforeB. he hardly knew any foreign languagesC. he was familiar with any other country in EuropeD. he would learn something new and different by trying5. Which of the following statements is TRUE？A. The author had been abroad only twice.B. The author thought the trip was hard but worthwhile.C. The author admitted that anything different was terrible.D. The author must be good at doing research and making interviews.6. We can infer from the text that the author is_______.A. awkwardB. generousC. stubbornD. brave7. What's the best title of the text？A. An Interesting Trip AbroadB. My First Writing AssignmentC. Ready to Try and ChallengeD. How to Be Daring and Brave.CContrary to the long-held belief that plants in the natural world are always in competition, new research has found that in severe environments adult plants help smaller ones and grow well as a result.The research, led by Dr Rocio, studied adult and seedling (幼苗)plants in the ecological desert in the south-east of Spain. Dr Rocio said, “If you're a seedling in a poor land — the top of a mountain or a sand hill, for example-and you’re lucky enough to end up underneath a big plant, your chances of survival are certainly better than if you landed somewhere on your own. What we have found, which was surprising, is an established large plant, called a ‘nurse’, protects a seedling; it also produces more flowers than the same plants of similar large size growing on their own.”Other benefits of nurse-seedling partnerships include that more variety of plants growing together can have a positive effect on the environment. For example, vegetation areas with nurse plants with more flowers might be able to attract higher numbers of pollinators(传粉者)in an area, in turn supporting insect and soil life and even provide a greater range of different fruit types for birds and other animals.“The biggest winner for this system of nursing a plant is biodiversity(生物多样性),” Dr Rocio said. “The more biodiversean area, the greater number of species of plants, insect life, mammals and birds, and the better the chances of long-term healthy functioning of the environment and ecosystems. ” This system is win-win for adult and seedling plants in unfavorable environments.The research is of value to those who manage and protect plants in tough environments. Most home gardeners and farmers plan to ensure their soil and conditions are the best they can be for plant growth, but the findings might be of value to those who garden in bare places.8. What is a common understanding of plants?A. They can help each other.B. They can survive ill conditions.C. They compete with each other.D. They grow well on their own.9. What will happen to seedling plants if they grow under adult plants?A. They will produce more flowers.B. They will die owing to competition.C. They will make adult plants larger.D. They will get support from adult plants.10. What is the effect of the nurse-seedling partnership?A. It leads to unfavorable environments.B. It produces long-term healthy chances.C. It attracts higher and larger pollinators.D It provides a more variety of plant types.11. Who will benefit from the new research?A. People studying organic farming.B. People protecting plants on sand hills.C. People wanting to change biodiversity.D. People keeping more animals on the farm.DA Singaporean company will feed airport food waste to mealworms before turning them into fish feed, aiming to cut the country's use of imported feed and offer a continuous alternative.Blue Aqua Internationalwill partner with Dnata, an air and travel services provider, to change organic waste at Singapore's Changi Airport into insect protein for aquacultural use, according to a statement Tuesday.The project looks to replace traditional fish and soybean meal as the main sources of protein for aquafeed. The insects will eat the food waste and change it into part of the body containing about 60 per cent protein. The dried baby worms will then be made into feed.These mealworms can be a continuous solution to several problems. Using a small land and giving out less carbon, they turn food waste into feed and offer an alternative source of protein. Ynsect SAS, a small French business that keeps mealworms to feed fish and pets, attracted money from investors includingIron Manmovie actor Robert Downey Jr. in a round of fund-raising last year.The deal will give Singapore's farmers access to domestically produced animal feed, which is traditionally bought from abroad. The Southeast Asian nation imports more than 90 percent of its food and has set a goal to produce a third of its food locally by 2030. It also aims to achieve a general recycling rate of 70 per cent by then. Presently, less than 20 per cent of Singapore's food waste is recycled.As part of the partnership, Dubai-based Dnata will add Blue Aqua to its list of suppliers to buy locally farmed seafood for its catering service.12. What is the function of mealworms?A. To cut the use of imported fish feed.B. To eat food waste and make fish feed.C. To domestically produce animal feed.D. To replace traditional fish and soybean meal.13. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. The producers of the feed.B. The purpose of the projectC. The advantages of the project.D. The composition of the feed.14. What can we infer about Singapore from Paragraph 5?A. It is a rich country.B. It is short of self-produced food.C. Its recycling rate is very high now.D. Its farmers don't support the deal.15. What is the text mainly about?A. A new way to produce fish feed.B.An introduction to a company.C. A plan to reduce food waste.D. A deal to protect farmers.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。

高考英语三模试卷题号I II III IV V VI总分得分一、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）During his 2009TED Global talk，sound consultant Julian Treasure said there are four major ways that sound affects human．What do fire alarms，car noises and alarm clocks all have in common？Their sound affects us physiologically （生理上地）．(1) Heart rate increases and breath quickens as the body prepares to fight a possible threat or run for survival．But a physiological response to sound isn't always upsetting．The rhythmic（有节奏的）frequency of ocean waves roughly matches the rhythm of a sleeping person's breathing．(2) The second way sound affects us is psychological- it makes us feel．Have you ever heard a piece of music that makes you sad？Whether it's a sad song that brings tears to your eyes or a funny song that makes you laugh，music can make us feel a range of emotions．(3) When we hear the comforting singing of birds，we know things are good and safe．(4) The brain tries to get meaning from the words and sentences we hear．When your mom，dad，and little brother are all talking at once at the dinner table，the competing voices make it hard to focus．Our brains have a very small bandwidth for processing auditory （听觉的）input，says Treasure．No wonder it's annoying when someone keeps talking during amovie!Finally，sound may cause behavioral changes．(5) People tend to walk away from loud or annoying sounds and toward pleasant sounds．Next time a fire engine screams past，birds start singing or you hear a sorrowful pop song，stop，listen，and think about the many ways sound influences you．A．Also，sound affects how we think．B．Birdsong also affects us psychologically．C．In other words，they make our bodies react．D．Unpleasant sounds affect our physical health．E．In fact，some music can put you in a good mood．F．Drivers who listen to fat-paced music may speed up．G．When we hear the ocean rise and fall，the sound relaxes our bodies．1.

A South Korean man and the 21 ducklings he has been raising as his children ever sincethey hatched have been breaking the internet with their amazing bond． A video thatrecently went viral in the western world shows the cute birds following their "mother" ona mountain hike and listening to his every command．The middle-aged man，whose name is not revealed in the video，has been taking care of his 21 ducklings ever since they were eggs，making sure the incubation（孵化）period went smoothly，and even helping the tiny birds break through their shell when it came time to hatch．He was the first thing they laid eyes on in this world，and he has remained the most important figure in their lives since．Ducklings naturally follow their mother around，and since the man was the one who acted as their mother，these birds follow him everywhere，even up a mountain．To them it's only natural，but the middle-aged man considers it training and conditioningfor the time when he finally releases them into the

does．Unless they hear his voice and see him moving，they don't budge．It's actually quite remarkable．I mean，it's one thing to see dogs acting like this，but ducklings？That's something else．While it's not

of cute petsB．Man raises ducklings as his "children"C．Ducklings also regarded as good petsD．Amazing bond between man and animals29.When Zbynek Frolik needed new employees to handle increasing orders at his factories incentral Bohemia，he sent out advertisements across the Czech Republic．But in aprosperous economy where nearly everyone had work，there were few takers．Raising wages didn't help．Nor did offers to subsidize（补贴）housing．So he turned to the robots．"We can't find enough humans，" said Mr．Frolik，whose company，Linet，makes hospital beds sold in over 100 countries．"So we're trying to replace people withmachines wherever we can．"Such talk usually makes people think of a future where employees are no longer needed．In many major economies，companies are experimenting with replacing factoryworkers，truck drivers and even lawyers with artificial intelligence．But in Eastern Europe，robots are being enlisted as the solution for a shortage of workers ．Often they are helping to create new types of jobs as businesses in the Czech Republic ，Hungary，Slovakia and Poland try to stay competitive．Economic growth in these countries has averaged 5 percent in recent years，affected by the global recovery． A booming economy has reduced the jobless rate to just 2.4 percent，the lowest in theEuropean Union．The lack of manpower，however，has limited the ability of Czech companies toexpand．Nearly a third of them have started to turn away orders，according to theCzech Confederation of Industry， a trade group．"It's becoming a brake on growth，" said Jaroslav Hanak，the organization's president．"If businesses don't increase robotization and artificial intelligence，they'll disappear．"Some factories in Eastern Europe are already on the way．At Elko EP，which makes industrial timers for companies like General Electric，70 percent of production isautomated，and the company is aiming to be almost fully robotized in a few years．Ina corner of the factory，robots have taken over routine manufacturing（制造业）tasks．Jiri Konecny，the company's CEO，moved factory floor workers to more complex roles，and focused hundreds of other employees on research and development．"If we hadn't invested early in automation，we'd be dead by now，" he said．What is the problem that Czech Republic is facing？______A．It's hard to find human workers．B．It's population is decreasing greatly．C．Robots are now welcome at factory work．D．Employees do not want to do factory work．Which of the following may have contributed to the problem in Eastern Europe according to Paragraph 4？______A．Tough competition．B．Advanced technology．C． A low birth rate．D． A fast-growing economy．How might Jaroslav Hanak feel about the future of Czech companies？______A．PuzzledB．Worried．C．SurprisedD．Hopeful．What should companies do to survive？______A．Change their policies．B．Turn to other countries for help．C．Employ qualified human workers．D．Spend more money on automation．30. A rainy day can be a chance to recharge．While you relaxed on the sofa with a movie，the raindrops falling on your windows might one day provide the power for your TV．This is the idea behind an invention that harvests energy from water．The technology is based on the triboelectric （摩擦电的）effect．An engineer at the University of Hawaii，David Ma knew that it's possible to generate electricity byrubbing two things together．So，he thought，"Why don't we use water？"A drop of water sliding across a surface coated with two different materials wouldgenerate enough friction to create an electrical charge．By placing metal wires that the drop of water touched as it moved，it should be possible to harvest electricity，hereasoned．It worked．In fact，the researchers lit up 15 LED bulbs with a single moving waterdrop．This is not the first time that scientists have got electricity from water-generated friction（摩擦）．Earlier experiments，though，harvested the charge produced in a surface bya sliding drop of water．There，the surface had acted as an electrode（电极）．Thisis different．The energy of friction is being harvested from the water itself．"It turns out，" Ma says，"the charge in the water drop is way more than the chargeproduced in the other electrode．" In fact，his team's model generated almost 100 times more power than previous experiments from a single drop of water．"The technology could someday power phones，sensors or other small electronics，"says Christopher Oshman，an engineer at the Colorado School of Mines．"This work isa step toward harvesting the energy of moving objects all around us，including ourselves，to power the electronic appliances we use every day，" he says．Ma has shown that the technology can work in a lab，Oshman says．Next，theColorado researcher would like to see it tried on a larger scale，such as on an umbrella．How did the author introduce the topic of the text？______A．By telling a story．B．By raising a question．C．By giving an example．D．By imagining a situation．What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to？______A．The wire．B．The drop of water．C．The surface．D．The electricity．What is unique about Ma's technique compared with earlier experiments？______A．The water itself acts as an electrode．B．It is based on the triboelectric effect．C．It produces electricity from water-made friction．D．It uses a surface coated with two different materials．What does Oshman say about Ma's technology？______A．It has a promising future．B．It will do well on an umbrella．C．It works well in the real world．D．It will replace batteries

2024届湖北省部分学校高三下学期三模模拟考试英语试题
2024届湖北省部分学校高三下学期三模模拟考试英语试题一、阅读理解Must-see in GuangxiA Hotel in NatureChaoranpai International Hotel is only 2 kilometers away from the Lijiang River Source Grand Canyon. By taking both the ecological design and standards of 5-star hotels into account, this hotel has integrated modern services with nature, especially bamboo. The hotel also offers entertainments such as go-carting, cosplay of counter strike (反恐精英), and Chinese-style tea houses. Besides, the mountain itself is like a natural oxygen bar.Hemlock Spruce—a Living Fossil from the Ice AgeHemlock spruces (铁杉树) are found at altitudes (海拔) between 1, 600 and 1, 800 meters, with one area recognized as China’s only hemlock spruce forest, having as many as 130 of them. Hemlock spruce, along with dawn redwood and ginkgo (银杏), is “a living fossil”. Immune (免疫) to all cold-weather risks, it stays green throughout the year.A Heaven of Animals and PlantsMao’er Mountain is rich in rare animals and plants. Inhabited (栖息) by 2, 484 species of plants and 345 species of vertebrates, this place can serve as a natural gene bank. And surprisingly, a rare alpine wetland featuring evergreen broad-leaved trees has found a way of surviving in the dwarf forest at a high altitude.The “Millennium Kiss” WonderIt’s a miracle that two trees have existed together and grown for around a thousand years. It’s even more breathtaking to see the two trees gradually getting close to each other and having a little “kiss”. What a lovely sight it is in the natural beauty of Mao’er Mountain!1．Which of them can’t a tourist experience in Chaoranpai International Hotel?A．Viewing beautiful bamboo.B．Tasting Chinese tea.C．Playing roles of a game.D．Relaxing in an oxygen bar.2．What is unique of the hemlock spruce forest in Guangxi?A．Its high altitude.B．Its big number of the species.C．Its three rare species of trees.D．Its evergreen quality.3．What do the four tourist attractions have in common?A．They offer unique services.B．They are accessible to all transport.C．They are home to rare species.D．They are located in the mountain.A school district in Michigan has banned all backpacks from school buildings, in response to growing safety concerns.Flint Community Schools announced last week that backpacks would be banned and the ban would be in place for the rest of the school year. The new policy went into effect on Monday.“We are doing all that we can to create a safe and secure environment for our scholars, families, teachers and staff,” Superintendent (主管) Kevin Jones wrote in a letter posted on the school district’s website.Jones cited growing threatening behavior happenings across the country, including weapons being brought to schools, as the reason for the backpack ban.“Backpacks make it easier for students to hide weapons, which can be taken apart and harder to identify than hidden in pockets, inside books, or under other items,” he said.Following the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, last May, where 19 students and two teachers died, schools began taking policies requiring students to use clear backpacks. However, Flint Community Schools have gone a step further and banned clear backpacks from school buildings, with the superintendent saying that it doesn’t resolve the issue.“By banning backpacks altogether and adding an increased security presence across the district, we can better control what is being brought into our buildings,” Jones said.Students are allowed to store personal items like wallets, keys, hygiene products (卫生用品) and phones in small purses, bring lunchboxes or place their gym clothes in clear plastic bags, all of which will be subject to searches.If a student brings a backpack to school, parents or guardians must pick it up from the school, according to Jones.The Flint Board of Education, the district’s administration and headmasters approved the policy change, Jones said, adding that the district received support from the Flint Police Department.4．What is the basic reason for the ban?A．Because weapons are flooded in the district.B．Because people’s lives are threatened.C．Because other schools have led the tide.D．Because it is required by the government. 5．Which does not belong to the safety rules according to the report?A．All backpacks are banned in Flint Community Schools.B．More security guards are on the campus in the district.C．All the things students take to school will be checked.D．Parents are required to pick up their children from schools.6．What can be safely concluded from the passage?A．The ban is a joint effort of the Flint district.B．All bags are banned in the schools of the district.C．A student will get punished if taking backpacks to school.D．There may be accidents after the shooting at Robb Elementary School.7．What is the best title for the report?A．Safety Concerns in Flint Community Schools B．Weapon Threats in Flint Community SchoolsC．Backpacks Banned in Flint Community Schools D．Flint Community Schools Follow Suit Banning BagsEvery year, some 2.3 million women and men around the world died from work-related accidents or diseases — that’s more than 8, 000 deaths every single day — and at least 402 million people suffer from non-fatal occupational injuries. The number is enormous in terms of personal tragedy and hardship. And it comes with a huge economic loss. It is estimated that occupational accidents and diseases lead to a 5.4 percent loss of annual global GDP.A safe and healthy working environment is so important that in June 2022 the ILO (International Labor Organization) took a historic step when it added a safe and healthy working environment to its Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.Why does this matter? It matters because occupational safety and health can now no longer be viewed as an optional extra. All of the ILO’s 186 member states are now required to respect, promote and achieve a safe and healthy working environment as a fundamental principle and rightat work.This is significant for several reasons. First, it recognizes that every worker has the right to be protected from dangers and risks that can cause injury, illness or death in the workplace.By making occupational safety and health (OSH) a fundamental right, the ILO is sending a clear message to governments and employers of all countries that they must take responsibility for providing a safe and healthy working environment for all workers.When workers feel safe and healthy in their workplace, they are likely to be more productive and efficient. This can benefit workers, employers as well as the economy. Conversely, when workers are injured or become ill due to workplace dangers, it can have a significantly negative impact on productivity and economic growth.A safe and healthy working environment is now a fundamental right for each and every worker. Governments, employers, trade unions as well as companies must work together to make this right a reality.8．What is the function of the first paragraph?A．To draw a conclusion.B．To introduce the topic.C．To warn us of the danger at work.D．To call for the need of safety environment. 9．What does a safe and healthy working environment mean to each side?A．It means a basic right to the ILO.B．It means life and death to employers.C．It means a fundamental obligation to workers.D．It means economic growth to thegovernment.10．Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 6?A．Consequently.B．Contrarily.C．Conventionally.D．Commonly. 11．What may be discussed in the following paragraph after the last one?A．The joint efforts by the four sides.B．The potential improvements to make.C．The history of workers’ sufferings.D．The measures workers take to get protected.Humans aren’t the only animals that move to music. Parrots have been known to do it. And now rats have been observed bopping their heads in time with the tunes of Mozart, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson and others, according to a new paper from the University of Tokyo. What’s more, the rats seems to respond to the same beats that get humans’ feet tapping (轻跺).The researchers played a sonata by Mozart for lab rats at different variations of the original speed. Wireless sensors on the rats’ bodies tracked their movements. Meanwhile, 20 human participants were involved and listened to the same music through headphones equipped with motion sensors.It was observed that the rats’ head movements were the most obvious when the music played at its normal speed, which was around 132bpm (beats per minute). The same was true for human participants. The researchers then changed to some pop songs such as Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” and Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”. As with Mozart’s, rats moved their heads along the rhythm of pop songs, similar to how people do, at about 120 to 140bpm.The study showed that both rats and humans moved their heads along to the beat in a similar rhythm. The level of head bopping from both humans and rats decreased as the music sped up. The study suggests that there is something similar about the way human and rat brains respond to rhythms, but rats do not match their motions to the beat like humans do. Humans can predict the timing of a beat and move predictably to it.Aniruddh Patel, a psychologist who studies brain response to music, says humans and parrots respond to beats with big, voluntary movements such as head shaking, dancing or foot tapping. Patel also stresses that this study does not show that rats have the same emotional associations with music as humans do. Yet he believes it could help reveal how humans and some other animals developed a sense of rhythm.12．What is the main discovery of the study?A．Humans as well as other animals developed a sense of rhythm.B．Rats as well as other animals can distinguish music styles.C．Rats just like human beings can respond to musical rhythms.D．Rats are added to the list of music lover as humans perform.13．How did the researchers mainly conduct their study?A．By analyzing brains responses.B．By playing different music.C．By comparing rats’ and humans’ responses.D．By recording two groups’ musicpreference.14．Which can be safely inferred from the study?A．Rats were trained to respond to musical rhythms.B．Human and rat brains respond to rhythms similarly.C．Humans respond to rhythms more consciously than rats.D．Rats have the same emotional associations with music as humans do.15．According to Patel, what is the meaning of the finding?A．It helps us understand ourselves better.B．It suggests parrots are more related to humans than rats.C．It solves the mystery of the development of musical rhythm.D．It indicates the relationships between humans and other animals.Washington Irving once wrote, “…Europe held forth the charms of storied and poetical association. 16 Her very ruins told the history of times gone by, and every moldering (腐朽的) stone was a chronicle (编年史).”17 Cultural tourism becomes a new landmark in the tourist enterprise. For a tourist guide, it is an easy job to introduce or describe the natural scenery to the visitors, but it is not that easy for them to explain the culture. 1819 From the ancient times, the ancestors of Chinese laboured, lived, and multiplied on this vast land and have created splendid culture. As one of the four birthplaces of world’s earliest civilizations, it has a recorded history of nearly 4, 000 years. Throughout the history of Chinese civilization, its agriculture and handicrafts have been famous for their high level of quality. During these 4, 000 years, China has raised many great thinkers, inventors, statesmen, strategists, men of letters and artists, resulting in a rich cultural heritage and fine cultural traditions.20 Click the links below to know each aspect specifically, which offer introduction, culture, and history of every division.A．Tourism is always closely related to culture.B．Europe was rich in the treasure of age.C．China is a large country with time-honored history.D．Of all the global tourist attractions, China tops the list.E．Topchinatravel here collects some treasures of Chinese culture for your reference. F．Therefore, visitors have to study the culture themselves in order to gain an impressive trip.G．Therefore, we cooperate with tourist agencies throughout the world offering unforgettable travels.二、完形填空Devin Jackson, who went from selling tickets to tourists on Times Square to working as an engineer for a number of major corporations, told ABC News that he was 21 that there weren’t many Black engineers or coders in the industry.

It is considered the cultural center of Bali, where you will discover the art and spirit ofBaliand learn about Balinese religion through paintings, dance, and other art forms. You could drink a beer while watching a local band perform, but most people come here for the cultural appreciation.Nusa LembonganThis tiny island off the coast of Bali is where many people miss their journey plans, but it is a must-see, It is the perfect place to stay for a couple of nights, The roads are not good, but the island itself is so beautiful and quiet.SanurSanur is an especially relaxing beach town. It's close to the airport and Kuta. It's also the starting place to explore Nusa Lembongan.KutaThebeachofKutais great for surfing. It is crowded and you won't get far without someone trying to get you to rent a surfboard or buy something.

Her mum Leigh-Anne said the drama began during a visit to her grandma’s house when her grandparents gave her older kids some sweets.“Then at about 4:45 pm, Tallulah started to choke—we all went into a panic.”“It seemed like it went on for ages. Not one of us knew what to do.”“I rang an ambulance while my grandma and granddad tried to get the sweet to come up.”“Tallulah was panicking at first but then she started to go purple—she almost had no oxygen left in her.”With her daughter limp (无力的) and time running out, Leigh—Anne knew she couldn’t afford to wait for the ambulance to arrive.“The only thing I could think was to go out into the street.” She said.“I rushed out and screamed for someone to help while my grandma rushed out crying with Tallulah.”At exactly the moment, Caitlin, who is studying public services atRedcarCollege, was passing byQueen Street. She said, “I was waiting to go to work when I heard someone screaming for help, so I ran straight over.”The 17-year-old girl added, “Something just clicked and I went into auto mode. The little girl was completely limp, so I checked her airways and tilted (使倾斜) her over and started hitting her back. I turned her round and tapped on her chest, then after what felt like forever she coughed up the sweet and spat it out.As soon as she started crying I felt a huge relief. I was just so pleased I was able to help.”Caitlin was taught her lifesaving skills when she joined the Army Cadets four years ago.4. When did Tallulah get choked?A. While eating sweets.B.

In Belfast, where we're based, there's a culture of enjoying looking down on the city from up high, because it's in a valley. But because we were a conflict area for a long time,many people didn't want to live, work or hang out in the city, and our roofs cape has been neglected.Rooftop projects can be as big or as small as you want. They can be used as social or cultural spaces, for green or blue public facilities. But it's not just about commercial opportunities; it can be as simple as an individual turning his/her city balcony into a mini garden or vegetable patch. It's not just about doing it on a rooftop because it's “cool”.It's about giving up the deep-rooted thought that roofs are off limits and embracing their challenges as opportunities. That can make a huge difference. For instance, we're helping turn the rooftop car park of a city central shopping centre into an outdoor space for employees, due to restrictions they now face indoors because of COVID-19.Using rooftops creatively allows us to cope with many of the challenges faced by cities today--be those environmental, social, technological, or cultural. At the moment,we're being forced to rethink how we use public spaces due to COVID-19. With lots of restrictions on enclosed areas, we should be acknowledging rooftops alternatives.For example,Rotterdam recently hosted a play that took place across its rooftops. Each roof lit up and hosted a different part of the drama, while residents sat and watched, listening to the action through headphones. Are there any challenges? Rain is one. Also is health and safety. But there are creative and practical solutions to all the barriers we face. In fact,the challenges are what make rooftops so exciting----because they give you even more opportunities to be creative and solve problems. It is always a matter of trial and error.8. What can we learn about rooftops in the first two paragraphs?A. People enjoy getting together on rooftops.B. People can use rooftops to their own advantage.C. Rooftops are made good use of by locals in Belfast.D. Rooftops projects were launched for commercial reasons.9. How can rooftops benefit people in their life?A. Rooftops can be adapted to car parks.B. Rooftops help solve environmental problems.C. Rooftops can provide space for work and play.D. People can exchange their thoughts on rooftops.10. What will be possibly mentioned after the last paragraph?A. The new challenges of the future.B. Reasons for building rooftop projects.C. Exciting development of rooftop projects.D. Solutions to the challenges we are facing now.11. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce rooftop projects in Belfast.B. To encourage people to start rooftop projects.C. To analyze the current situation of rooftop projects.D. To offer suggestions on long-term city development.DWhen I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I realized that the country, known as the land of fire and ice, during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise (乐园) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal (地热的) baths while the snow is falling on their head.The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns. As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper (野营车). Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving, money and gave us the chance tobe always in the right place at the right time.There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities (设备). For us, as we slept in a camper, it was easier. But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times ofhotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland. However, Icelanders prefer to stay insidetheir houses. They have even no time to complain about the weather in December. All they care about is Christmas. They love to decorate their houses, sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food.12. Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice?A. Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice.B. Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen.C. Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside.D. Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice.13. What did the author think of the rented camper?A. It was not only practical but also economical.B. It was convenient but cost them more money.C. It provided the best chance to see the new country.D. It was much faster than other public transport.14. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The Icelanders prefer to live with their family.B. The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away.C. December is the coldest month of the year.D. The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside.15. What does this passage most probably come from?A. A textbookB. A scientific reportC. A travel magazineD. A news report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年湖北省十堰市实验中学高三英语三模试卷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ATheBest Placeto Camp in Each StateWashington-SecondBeach, Olympic National ParkCampers put up their tents right on the sand of thisPacific Northwestbeach. Make a campfire, photograph sunset over the sea and try to absorb this charming spot with your entire being.Alaska-Bartlett Cove Campground, Glacier (冰川) Bay National ParkIn a state full of natural riches,Glacier Bayis a wonder, home to high peaks, whales, 700 miles of coastline, and light blue glaciers that flow directly into the sea. Set within temperate rainforest along Bartlett Cove, the park's only campground is impressively green and an easy jumping-off point for boat tours.Arizona-Havasupai Campground, Havasupai ReservationGetting to Havasupai is a challenge. Permits are snatched (剥夺) up almost instantly, and even if you get one it's a 10-mile hike from the border to reach this rural campground that hugs Havasu Creek. Make the journey, however, and you're rewarded with a series of great waterfalls and natural pools.Arkansas-BuffaloNationalRiverAmerica's first national river travels 135 miles through the Ozark Mountains, winding its way over rapids, forming peaceful pools and passing rocky cliffs topped by green forest. Plan a float trip and absorb the scenery ata leisurely pace, pausing for hikes to visitLostValley's caves or the 200-foot waterfalls.1.Which state may attract people preferring glaciers?A.Alaska.B.Washington.C.Arizona.D.Arkansas.2.What makesArizonaa popular camp choice among tourists?A.The blue glaciers and green rainforests.B.The winding national river and cliffs.C.The soaring peaks and long coastline.D.The beautiful waterfalls and pools.3.What can you do when camping inArkansas?A.Take a long trip on foot.B.Visit caves and waterfalls.C.Put up a well-equipped tent.D.Enjoy a view of sunset.BAvi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.4. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.5. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.6. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.7. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space TravelCEmojis are very popular among mobile phone and social media users. While there are emojis of almost every kind imaginable, from dinosaurs to joyful tears and eggplants, there is no emoji for forgiveness. Seeing the need to show understanding, aFinnish group decided it was time for a "forgiveness" emoji.Every year, the Unicode Consortium, which sets the standards, adds new emojis to the emoji keyboard on mobile phones and computers. In 2019, the Forgivemoji campaign was launched. Forgivemoji's site made an open call to the public to give their designs for a new forgiveness emoji, with the goal of presenting the symbol to the Unicode Consortium and getting it accepted by people.Tuomo Pesonen, communications director of the Unicode Consortium, explained why the forgiveness emoji isindispensablein today's world. “In our modern communication culture, emojis are an important way of expressing human feelings beyond words.” The campaign gained popularity, reaching over two million people around the world. They received many designs, including a bandaged heart, two holding hands, and people from different cultures hugging.After hundreds of people offered their ideas for this emoji, the winner was announced in February 2020. Former Finnish president Tarja Halonen was selected to choose the winner as she has been important in building bridges between people. The emoji that will be presented to the Unicode Consortium is an image of two hands giving a thumbs-up symbol in front of a heart. If the Unicode Consortium accepts the design, it will become available to the public in late 2021.The Forgivemoji campaign goes far beyond having a strong influence on social media. The message of showing forgiveness and understanding is helpful for the world at large.8. What's the idea behind the Fogivemoji campaign?A. people develop pleasant habits.B.

They have taken over the old city ofLopburiinThailand. About 8,400 of them are in the center of the city. They roam(漫游) neighborhoods in groups. Dozens of businesses in Lopburi are closing. They include a music school, a gold shop, a barber, a cellphone store and a movie theatre. The Buddhist culture believes reducing the number of monkeys would disturb spiritual well-being.The monkeys were not always such a hazard. They attracted tourists. Buddhists thought feeding them was a good deed. Now times have changed. Recently, the coronavirus made things worse. There are fewer tourists, which means that travelers give less food to the monkeys. Over the years, the monkeys moved into empty buildings. They trashed whatever they came across. They ripped(扯掉) antennas and windshield wipers off parked cars. What happens when monkeys come into contact with humans? An observer said that years ago the monkeys were fewer, biggerand healthier. Their fur was shiny and thick. They kept to the temples，as well as the ruins of the ancient Khmer civilization.Then tourists came with easy and unhealthy food. Along with bananas and citrus(柑橘), the macaques feasted on junk food. An observer said, “The monkeys are never hungry. They are just like children who eat too much KFC. ” Compared with the monkeys of the forest, their urban counterparts have less muscle. They have more hypertension and blood disease. Their fur has thinned. Some have gone bald. With so much food available，they have more time to breed and to give birth. Their population has exploded. “These monkeys were here before us,” a man said. A juvenile macaque tugged(拽) his trousers demanding a treat. “We have to adapt to them，not the other way around. ”12. Why are macaque monkeys so popular in Lopburi inThailand?A. Because they are smart and know how to steal.B. Because they have taken over the old city ofLopburiinThailand.C. Because they are symbols of spiritual well-being in the Buddhist culture.D.

英语_2020届湖北省荆州市沙市某校高三第三次模拟考试英语试题含答案
2020届湖北省荆州市沙市某校高三第三次模拟考试英语试题一、阅读选择1. In May 2020, on the occasion of the 73rd World Health Assembly, WHO will host the first-ever Health for All Film Festival in Geneva.Whether you are an amateur filmmaker seeking to tell the story of change-makers in your community through the lens of your smart phone or you're working with a production company to promote dialogue around global health challenges and solutions, WHO wants to see your story.Filmmakers are invited to submit a short video for one of the following 3 categories.CATEGORY 1: Video reports （3-8 minutes long）Video reports showing human-interest stories about health from individuals, communities, and/or healthcare workers navigating a local or global health challenge, championing solutions, or driving change.CATEGORY 2: Animation videos （1-5 minutes long）Animation videos that include challenges and solutions to achieving health and well-being for all, or to educate about a health issue.CATEGORY 3: Videos about nurses and midwives （3-8 minutes long）Any audiovisual narration style will be accepted for this special theme for the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife in 2020.Eligibility criteria （合格标准）Only films completed between 1 January 2017 and 30 January 2020 are qualified to participate in this festival.

Our emotions can vary considerably depending on many factors, including our health, wealth, relationships and where we live. But sometimes we need to take a step back andthink about what happiness really means and how we can find it.Maybe we should take a leaf out of Finland's book — last year the UN's World Happiness Report found the country to be the happiest place on earth. The report looked at "subjective well-being". That's how happy people feel they are and why — based on factors such as economic strength, social support, life expectancy, freedom of choice and generosity.Research has also suggested that while personal feelings of pleasure are the accepted definition of happiness in Western cultures, East Asian cultures tend to see happiness as social harmony, and in some parts of Africa and India it's more about shared experiences and family.Author Helen Russell has been looking at the positive characteristics of a country's population to see what makes them happy and found Japan to be one of the most content. She said this was due to their concept of wabi-sabi —"This traditional Japanese concept around celebrating imperfection... it's this idea that there is a beauty in ageing, it's to be celebrated rather than trying to disguise it." So, basically, we should be happy with who we are and rejoice in our faults and individuality.But if you're feeling down in the dumps because your home country doesn't have a happiness concept to follow, consider some self-help ideas which include being virtuous, finding something to be passionate about, enjoying the here and now and being altruistic —helping others. However, our pursuit of happiness could make us miserable as we try to meet society's expectations and goals, making us anxious and stressed. Also, having too little experience of negative emotions can make us less adept (熟练的)at facing new challenges. （1）What is happiness in East Asian cultures?A Personal pleasure.B Harmony of society.C Subjective well-being.D Shared experiences and family.（2）What does the underlined word "rejoice" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A Be restless.B Be tolerant.C Be delighted.D Be ashamed.（3）What is the author's advice in the last paragraph?A Setting up a happiness concept of your home country.B Giving others in need a helping hand unselfishly.C Thinking twice about accepting newchallenges. D Sticking to meeting society's expectations.（4）What is this text most likely from?A A diary.B A guidebook.C A novel.D A magazine.3. I had always heard that North Americans value independence, and that Europeans value, togetherness. But I never fully understood it until 2 months ago, when I left my Ph.D. lab in Canada for a 4-month research in a lab in France. On my first day, Pierre — a Ph.D. student whose desk is across from mine — tapped me on the shoulder and asked: "Coffee?" I nodded and followed him down the hallway to the common room, where other grad students were filing in. I sat there, cautiously sipping the bitter liquid five times stronger than my normal Americano and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter（闲聊）filled the air.Coffee breaks are a routine part of work life here. The chatter sometimes turns to seriousscientific topics. But mostly, the meetups offer a chance to unwind — to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to connect with people who understand what you're going through.The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada, where I spent most of my workdays all alone. I went into the lab each morning with set goals for my day. At lunch, I'd keep my eyes glued to my computer while I shoveled（大量送入）forkfuls of salad into my mouth, trying to power through my to-do list.Our lab held weekly meetings where we'd take turns presenting our latest, work and getting feedback from colleagues. But we didn't take daily coffee breaks. My labmates and I were too busy collecting data and publishing papers.Looking back now, I realize how much we were missing. Researchers need community because good ideas don't just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts; it's helpful to bounce ideas off others, particularly in a nonthreatening environment. It's also helpful to have a spot to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life as a grad student. How else are you supposed to know that you're not the only one suffering from challenges like anxiety?（1）What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph?A He has a European dependent personality.B He was ill at ease in the new environment.C He was ashamed of his uncultured background.D He is too vain to work with other grad students.（2）The author takes coffee breaks as a way to .A break away from his work life in Canada.B get involved in serious scientific topics.C relax and exchange ideas with people.D collecting data from his colleagues.（3）Which of the following best describes the authors work life in Canada?A Demanding but satisfactory.B Impersonal but efficient.C Challenging and tiresome.D Stressful and independent.（4）What is the best title for the text?A Why Scientists Should Take Coffee breaks?B Coffee Inspires Creativity inScientists C Lighthearted Atmosphere Counts D North American Life VS. European Life4. Flying has shrunk the world! It's now possible to travel around the globe quickly and easily． Jumping on a plane and jetting off on holiday or a business trip is the norm for many of us, and with the rise of budget airlines, the number of people taking to the skies is increasing． But while air travel is costing us less, the cost to the environment is going up． Climate change is something we're all aware of now, and aviation companies know that some of the blame for this is being pointed at them． Last year airlines were forecasted to use about 97bn gallons of jet fuel．But while we could think twice about taking a flight in the first place, particularly a short trip that could be made by train, technology might be the answer to reducing emissions and ________ the environmental damage．Recent developments have focused on reducing the amount of fuel airliners（大型客机）burn． Making flying green and sustainable was the hot topic at the recent Dubai Air Show． There was talk of advances in engine technology, making them more efficient, and possibly using biofuel to power aircraft．Rios Galvan, a bioenergy expert and professor at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi, told the BBC that "these have the capacity to reduce the carbon footprint anywhere between 50﹣80 percent when you compare them to fuels．"And Phil Curnock, chief engineer of the civil future programme at Rolls﹣Royce, also suggested that electric hybrid engines （混合动力发动机） could play a part for smaller aircraft, covering shorter distances． He says "it offers the possibility of a carbon﹣neutral flight for a limited range．"Of course, aircraft manufacturers are constantly looking at ways to make their planesmore fuel efficient． Boeing's Dreamliner, for example, is already in operation and uses 25 percent less fuel per passenger compared with aircraft of a similar size． Other improvements include better aircraft aerodynamics （空气动力学）, changes to ways aircraft taxi （滑行） on runways, and the use of lighter materials．（1）What can we infer from Paragraph 1？________A The earth gets smaller．B Budget airlines become popular．C Flying is favorite among passengers．D Air travel can do harm to environment．．（2）What does the underlined word "minimising" mean？________A Lowering．B Consolidating．C Weakening．D Increasing．（3）Which of the following is true， according to the passage？________A Boeing's Dreamliner is a green aircraft．B Biofuel is a necessity to power airliners．C Electric hybrid engines have their limitations．D Ways will be foundto reduce fuel consumption．．（4）How can aircrafts be made more fuel efficient？________A By bettering runways．B By making smaller aircrafts．C By using the lighter materials．D By using aircraft aerodynamics．二、七选五5.

This is a great way to get kids’ bodies moving when they are inside. Play some of your children's favorite music and let them dance to it. Not only is it good exercise, but it will help your children feel time is flying!Doing jigsaw (拼图) puzzlesFor most people that have children, it's common to have at least one jigsaw puzzle at home. Jigsaw puzzles are great because everyone can do them on their own time. Besides, your whole family will have a sense of achievement when everyone is smiling over the finished product.1.

The rain was heaviest in the provincial capital, Zhengzhou, for a short period on Monday and Tuesday. Northern, western and central parts of Henan also experienced downpours, the service said. Zhengzhou's biggest one-hour precipitation (降水量) —201.9 mmbetween 4 and 5 pm on Tuesday—was also the highest on the Chinese mainland. The previous record was 198.5 mmin the village of Linzhuang in Zhumadian in August 1975, the National Meteorological Center said. The city's precipitation duringthe four days exceeded that of its average annual precipitation, the center said.Chen Tao, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center, said abundant water vapor (水蒸气) brought by Typhoon In-Fa and the province's special geographical features led to Henan's rain. “Partly affected by the typhoon, large amounts of water vapor have been transported to China's inland areas, including Henan,” he said.From Thursday to Monday, rain was forecast to continue in Henan. However, rainfall will gradually subside in Zhengzhou and the province's northern and central regions, though the storms will increase the risk of mountain torrents and other geological disasters. By Monday, lighter rain is forecast for parts of Henan, the provincial weather service said. However, local authorities are still urged to bevigilantand prepare to prevent or cope with flooding and other possible disasters.Predicting such weather events remains a challenge worldwide because it involves many meteorological phenomena, the center said. “The formation of this kind of extreme weather, including rainstorms and high temperatures, is complex,” Chen said. “We still lack effective solutions and methods for such forecasting”, he said. “We are now putting a lot of effort into tackling the difficulty. We believe that as the technology improves, we can better forecast the events.”8. What message does the author mainly want to convey in the first paragraph?A. heavy rain fell in Zhengzhou.B. The rain in Henan lasted four days.C. Zhumadian also suffered the similar heavy rain.D. Henan experienced the biggest rainfall of all time.9. What can be indicated from Chen Tao's words?A. It is not easy to forecast the extreme weather.B The rain of Henan is mainly caused by Typhoon In-Fa.C. The center hasn't put a lot of effort into solving the problem.D. Rainstorms and high temperatures can account for the heavy rain.10. What does the underlined word “vigilant” probably mean?A. Relaxed.B. Alert.C. Reluctant.D. Communicative.11. Where might the text be most probably taken from?A. history book.B. A novel.C. A news report.D. A science magazine.DHoneybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings toproduce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.As with many scientific advances-IsaacNewton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt-Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect localPasadenahoneybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs forpropulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they-predicted.Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.12. What does the author intend to show by mentioningNewtonandFranklin?A. Roh’s admiration for them.B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.C. Their outstanding talent for science.D. Their similar achievements in discovery.13. What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?A. The air weight.B. Its leg extension.C. The water movement.D. Its continuous wingbeat.14. What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fast flightB. Driving force.C. Pulling speed.D. Explosive power.15. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Honeybees can surf to safety.B. Bees help scientists make inventions.C. Insects can adapt to the environment.D. Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.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。

But one man, from California by reasonable assumption, who goes by “Dave”, recently took procrastination (拖延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a half-century after it was given.In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail. Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown, so he put the return address as “Wayward Road, Anytown California” under the name “Feeling guilty”.When the officers opened the envelope, they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parkingticket dating all the way back to 1974. The note read, “Dear PD, I’ve been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always intending to pay. Forgive me if I don’t give you my info. With respect, Dave.”Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, “Dave” must have fe lt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent, or $3, in interest.Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it were given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate.Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to out-of-state cars back then, “Dave” could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine. But apparently, guilt got the best of him, and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date.24. How much do we know about “Dave”?A. He lives in Wayward Road, Anytown California.B. The police are trying to find out more about him.C. His car probably came from Ohio at that time.D. “Dave” is of course the man’s real name indeed.25. Why didn’t “Dave” pay for the parking ticket until recently?A. He completely forgot about it in the past 44 years.B. He didn’t find it until almost half a century l ater.C. He failed to find out who he should pay the money to.D. He didn’t pay for it just because of procrastination.26. What drove “Dave” to pay for the parking ticket at last?A. A strong sense of guilt.B. Fear of being tracked by the police.C. Worry about being fined more.D. Sudden change of his financial situation.27. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department Shares a StoryB. Mysterious Procrastinator Finally Pays 44-Year-Old Parking TicketC. Unusual Letter Comes from Wayward Road, Anytown CaliforniaD. Parking Ticket Carried Around for Almost Half a Century from OhioC“Birds” and “airports” are two words that, paired together, don’t normally paint the most harmonious picture. So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds.Described as the world’s first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区) in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course,not an actual airport. Rather, it’s a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds-even thousands-of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory(迁徙的) water birds，some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.Located on a former landfill site, the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers.(Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However, instead of duty-free shopping, the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin’s newest airport will be a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.“The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” Adr ian McGregor of an Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city--China’s fourth most populous--that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs.28. The underlined phrase “non-egg-laying creatures” in Paragraph 3 refers to?A. Designers.B. Visitors.C. Endangered water birds.D. Planes.29. What do we know about the airport according to the passage?A. It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.B. It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.C. It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.D. People cannot watch birds up close here.30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Tianjin’s air quality wi ll improve thanks to the airport.B. Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.C. The airport will become a permanent home for birds.D. Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.31. What is this passage mainly about?A. Airports shut down and open up.B. Airports turn into green lungs.C. China is to open the first Bird Airport.D. Birds are no longer enemies to airports.DBrriiinnng. The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning. You jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think. A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing. Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. In that sort of mood, who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem-solving work?The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open-minded thinking. Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re unfocused. If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early evening when your are relaxed. Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving. By not givingyourself time to tune into your wandering mind, you’re missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer.The trip you take to work doesn’t help, either. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons(神经细胞), making inspirations less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done.So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead. We’d stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinkin g about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation. We’d take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic. And once in the office --we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer.32. According to the author, we are more creative when we are ____________.A. focusedB. relaxedC. awakeD. busy33. What does the author imply about newspapers?A. They are solution providers.B. They are a source of inspiration.C. They are normally full of bad news.D. They are more educational than websites.34. B y “tune into your wandering mind” (in Para. 2), the author means “____________”.A. wander into the wildB. listen to a beautiful tuneC. switch to the traffic channelD. stop concentrating on anything35. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A. To offer practical suggestions.B. To summarize past experiences.C. To advocate diverse ways of life.D. To set up a routine for the future.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
