2020届合肥市第五中学高三英语一模试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AJuanito Estrella has been a housekeeping manager on the US-based large passenger ship Carnival Spirit for 18 months and feels he has found the suitable position in his career(职业). He has always wanted to travel. “I guess I am a really restless spirit.I like traveling, so when the chance came, I jumped at it,” he says.The chance came in the form of a newspaper advertisement for work on cruise ships（游船）. At the time Estrella was the housekeeping manager at a Melbourne hotel. He applied and, after two interviews, a medical check and police clearance, the job was his.Estrella is responsible(负责的)for the cleanliness of the ship, making sure that 160 crew work properly. “I enjoy it because there is no other work-you wake up each day in a different place anda different culture. It’s exciting when you go to the next country and you don’t understand the language,” he says.Estrella likes being busy and getting to know people from all over the world. The 1,000 crew come from 94 countries, and Estrella has learnt Spanish and a little Croatian.But there is adownside. “You cannot get really drunk...because you have safety responsibilities to yourself and others,” he says. “You don’t really think about home.You start to think about home only when you get closer to your vacation and wonder what you’ll be doing.”Life on the ship is anything but cruising. Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day, seven days a week. He warns the job is not for everybody. “You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every day-and to give up drinking too much alcohol.” In his spare time, if the ship sails into a port, Estrella explores it, otherwise he works out in the crew’s gym, goes on the internet or calls home.1.Which of the following is true?A.He has been a housekeeping manager for 18 months.B.He doesn’t drink wine now.C.He cannot speak a foreign language.D.He used to be a housekeeping manager.2.The underlined word“downside”in paragraph 5 probably means ________ .A.disappointmentB.disadvantageC.failureD.loss3.In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that life on the ship is ________.A.not a tiring journey at allB.just an interesting voyageC.far from a voyage for pleasureD.more than a pleasant travel by seaBAvi 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 TravelCDoctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don’t listen because they already know it all, I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn’t realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As 1 flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot—and my boss—so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness sand said, we need to put the landing gear down now! That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn’t overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I’m in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from landing gear up.8. What does the author say about doctors in general?A. They like flying by themselves.B. They are quick learners of CRM.C. They pretend to be good pilots.D. They are unwilling to take advice.9. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when .A. his boss landed the plane too lateB. he was in charge of a flying taskC. he saved the plane by speaking upD. his boss operated on a patient10. In the last paragraph landing gear up probably means .A. following flying requirementsB. making a mistake that may cost livesC. listening to what fellow doctors sayD. overreacting to different opinions11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying SafeB. A Pilot-Turned DoctorC. The Making of a Good PilotD. Flying Makes Me a Better DoctorDI have a memory of being about five years old, picking up a beautiful grilled(烧烤的）cheese sandwich made for me by my hard —working mother and turning it over to see that theother side was burned. Suddenly what I thought was the perfect sandwich was not so perfect. Mom had tried to hide that fact from me. There was no question; I ate it anyway without complaining. However, that moment has stuck in my mind for many years. Now, at the age of 43 as a mother of two children and as a biology professor where I am routinely the "academic mother" of hundreds of students every year,I find that I believe inThe Grilled Cheese Principle.Here is what I mean Making a grilled cheese sandwich is easy right? But when I think of how many burned grilled cheese sandwiches I have eaten, or I have made myself, I realize that most of the grilled cheese sandwiches I have known have had at least one burned side. The thing is that although it is a ly easy thing to make, I can also easily lose focus, and before long the sandwich is burned. For my mother, the first side was usually perfect and the second side got burned due to her being distracted. For me,I have tended to burn the first side,but then I more carefully monitor the second side.Either way,the grilled cheese sandwich suffers because it has not been given the attention it deservesSo, I have learned that even the simplest task deserves my full attention. When I am multi-tasking, I am doing none of the tasks well. And when I allow myself to be distracted, I am not in the present moment — not paying attention to the small details of living or enjoying the processSo now, I believe the best way to make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich is to make only one at a time and give it my full attention.12. How did the writer react to the sandwich with burned side?A. She ate it with some complaintsB. She showed no interest.C. She thought it was still perfectD. She was deeply impressed with it13. What doesThe Grilled Cheese Principlemean?A. Even simple things deserve full attentionB. Losing focus makes the sandwich burnedC. Self-made sandwiches are always burnedD. we should make only one sandwich at a time14. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?A. Everything cannot be done well without full attentionB. Moms always like to lie to kids when they have done something wrongC. We can lose focus more easily when we do easy things.D. Multi-tasking can be an obstacle to the achievement of tasks.15. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. Nothing is perfectB. Learn to appreciate the burned sandwichesC. Devote yourself to one thing at a time.D. Never do multi-tasks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。

Ayers-Elliott encourages people to experience farmD. Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America．DWe can video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of Everest．But communicating with a submarine （潜艇）or a diver is not so easy．The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne devices has long been a frustration for scientists．The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water．Sonar （声呐）signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of the water rather than reaching the air．Now，researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication．"What we've shown is that it's actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air，" says Fadel Adib，a professor at MJT's Media Lab，who led the research．The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface，making vibrations （震动）corresponding to the ls and Os of the data．Asurface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations．The researchers call the system TARF．It has any number of potential real-world uses，Adib says．It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane' s black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface．Right now the technology is low-resolution．The initial study was conducted in the MIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet．The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions-high waves，storms，schools of fish．They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction- air to water．If the technology proves successful in real-world conditions，expect "texting while diving" to be the latest underwater fashion．12.What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1？______A. The future of video chat underwater and in air．B. The frustrations of developing underwater devices．C. The difficulty of communication from water to air．D. The current situation of communicating with a submarine．13.What does the underlined word "feasible" mean？______A. Achievable．B. Convenient．C. Changeable．D. Alternative．14.What do we know about TARF？______A. It is widely used to find downed planes．B. It can work well at great depths underwater．C. It is an underwater machine that sends signals．D. It can send，receive and read signals from underwater．15.What is the best title for the text？______A. The Real-world Uses of Sonar TechnologyB. Full Water-to-air Communication Closer to RealityC. A Breakthrough in the Application of Video ChatD. TARF Becoming a New Means of Communication二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Apologizing the Right Way to a Friend Why are apologies so difficult？Saying you are sorry can be one of the most difficult things you do．But we all make mistakes，so you'll probably have an occasion when you need to apologize．Perhaps you had a big blow up and realized later you reacted poorly．(1) Whatever the reason ，apologizing can help you both heal and move on from the situation．(2) First，you acknowledge that you did something wrong．With an apology，you take responsibility for your actions，which allows your friend to forgive you．Second，an apology gives you sincerity as a friend．(3) ，but that doesn' t mean you still shouldn't apologize．Now，what are elements of a proper apology？(4) ，depending on what the offense was，where it was done，and who you are apologizing to．In general，a good apology should include the following：a request for their attention，an acknowledgment of what happened，sincerity in admitting you did something wrong and the words．"I'm sorry" or "I apologize．"Here are things never to say when apologizing．Note that the art of apologizing involves taking responsibility．Never apologize as a way to "shut someone up" when they are saying you hurt their feelings and you don't think you did．(5) ，you should talk things through with your friend until you see why they are hurt or how you came across．You'll really need to self-reflect so you can see things from your friend' s point of view．A．When you make your apology in personB．If you really believe you did nothing wrongC．Apologies benefit friendships in a variety of waysD．The way you apologize is going to be slightly differentE．Or maybe you just didn't show support when you needed toF．Apologizing the right way，however，may take a little practiceG．Sometimes our pals forgive us easily for the minor things we do wrong16.

My eight teammates and I started out by watching the robotics qualifiers and finals of Chinese teams. We used these robotics videos for inspiration and drew up mind maps of what our team wanted to do.We meet every day for two hours after school in order to build our robots. Typically, adultsoverseewhat students are building, but my school lets teens take control. It leaves room for more errors, but we're prouder of our final product.Before our first real match, a practice was offered at the actual site. My sub-team had been further along than other teams but quickly fell behind. When we arrived on that big day, I immediately felt my teammates' nervousness. Our first match was in three minutes. All of us glanced around at each other since we were not prepared at all. Our robot was still sitting in a box. Two of our teammates rushed to take the robot for an official examination as the rest of us discussed our strategy (策略).Our team captain explained that we all should try driving the robot now, while it was early in the season. She gave me the remote. I had only driven for a limited amount of time in practice so I was extremely nervous. Our autonomous code (自动代码) beganto run almost immediately after our short discussion. Despite all the drama, we ended up winning the match.Not too bad for the first match! I was so proud. I did not enjoy the pressure of driving but liked building the robot behind the scenes instead.We have transferred to a different type of robotics at the end of the semester, which involves the whole team designing one giant robot with large tools. I am a part of the electrical team now, so I make sure the motherboard (母板) can supply the robot's energy needs. We have all enjoyed the rest of the season and learned that robotics it never dull!4. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. InspectB. AdmireC. OverlookD. Assume5. Why did her teammatesfed so nervous before first match?A. Because it was really too difficult for them.B. Because they didn't prepare for it at all.C. Because they didn't know what the match would be like.D. Because they didn't make full preparations before the match.6. How did the author feel about their first robotics match?A. It was tiring but exciting.B. It was stressful but wonderful.C. It was terrible but powerful.D. It was boring but professional7. What is the best title for the text?A. A Girl Who Loves RobotsB. My First Robotics MatchC. Teamwork for RobotsD. Robotics Is Never DullCWhy isn’t science better? Look at career incentive(激励).There are oftensubstantial gaps between the idealized and actual versions of those people whose work involves providing a social good. Government officials are supposed to work for their constituents. Journalists are supposed to provide unbiased reporting and penetrating analysis. And scientists are supposed to relentlessly probe the fabric of reality with the most rigorous and skeptical of methods.All too often, however, what should be just isn’t so. In a number of scientific fields, published findings turn out not toreplicate(复制), or to have smaller effects than, what was initially claimed. Plenty of science does replicate — meaning the experiments turn out the same way when you repeat them -but the amount that doesn’t is too much for comfort.But there are also waysin which scientists increase their chances of getting it wrong. Running studies with small samples, mining data for correlations and forming hypotheses to fit an experiment’s results after the fact are just some of the ways to increase the number of false discoveries.It’s not like we don't know how to do better. Scientists who study scientific methods have known about feasible remedies for decades. Unfortunately, their advice often falls ondeaf ears.Why? Why aren't scientific methods better than they are? In a word: incentives. But perhaps not in the way you think.In the 1970s, psychologists and economists began to point out the danger in relying on quantitative measures for social decision-making. For example, when public schools are evaluated by students’ performance onstandardized tests, teachers respond by teaching “to the test”. In turn, the test serves largely as of how well the school can prepare students for the test.We can see this principle—often summarized as “when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”—playing out in the realm of research. Science is a competitive enterprise. There are far more credentialed (授以证书的) scholars and researchers than there are university professorships or comparably prestigious research positions. Once someone acquires a research position, there is additional competition for tenure grant funding, and support and placement for graduate students. Due to this competition for resources, scientists must be evaluated and compared. How do you tell if someone is a good scientist?An oft-used metric is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals, as well as the status of those journals. Metrics like these make it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different. Unfortunately, this also makes these numbers susceptible to exploitation.If scientists are motivated to publish often and in high-impact journals, we might expect them to actively try to game the system. And certainly, some do—as seen in recent high-profile cases of scientific fraud(欺诈). If malicious fraud is the prime concern, then perhaps the solution is simply heightened alertness.However, most scientists are, I believe, genuinely interested in learning about the world, and honest. The problem with incentives is that they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals.8. Which of the following is TRUE about the general trend in scientific field?A. Scientists are persistently devoted to exploration of reality.B. The research findings fail to achieve the expected effect.C. Hypotheses are modified to highlight the experiments' results.D. The amount of science that does replicate is comforting.9. What doesdeaf earsin the fourth paragraph probably refer to?A. The public.B. The incentive initiators.C. The peer researchers.D. The high-impact journal editors.10. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. Good scientists excel in seeking resources and securing research positions.B. Competition for resources inspires researchers to work in a more skeptical way.C. All the credentialed scholars and researchers will not take up university professorships.D. The number of publication reveals how scientists are bitterly exploited.11. According to the author, what might be a remedy for the fundamental problem in scientific research?A. High-impact journals are encouraged to reform the incentives for publication.B. The peer-review process is supposed to scale up inspection of scientific fraud.C. Researchers are motivated to get actively involved in gaming the current system.D. Career incentives for scientists are expected to consider their personal intention.DJanet Fein, aged 84, received her bachelor's degree from the University last week, having waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal.Growing up in the Bronx area ofNew York City, Fein worked at a dress manufacturer after graduating early at the age of 16. After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children. She held several jobs through her life, including 20 years as a secretary at a hospital until her retirement at age 77.Fein has had a full life. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. She decided to major in sociology because she felt it was “substantial.”Fein took part in a state program that lets people who are 65 and older take free classes at public universities in Texasand kept going to class even as her health conditions worsened. During her studies, it became necessary for her to use a walker to get around and she required oxygen. She also developed knee problems. So, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements.Sheila Rollerson, Fein' scollege advisor, and Carol, the professor told the media that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties. She would speak up a lot in class and it just made for a more interesting class.Fein has also inspired Renee Brown, one of Fein's caregivers. At 53, Renee plans to begin nursing school to further her career. “Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you can do it, and you will feel so good about it,” Brown remembers what Fein told her.12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Janet Fein's growthB. Janet Fein's aimC. Janet Fein's job experiencesD. Janet Fein's regrets13. What does the underlined phrase “substantial” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. InterestingB. ValuableC. EasyD. Affordable14. What can be learned about Fein according to the passage?A. Fein lived on little money after her retirement.B. Fein had a problem with her arms while at universities.C. The Internet played a role in Fein's university education.D. The good health helped Fein get her bachelor's degree.15. What is Janet Fein like according to the passage?A. Hardworking and humorous.B. Determined and generous.C. Positive and patient.D. Inspiring and perseverant.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。

Guernica．B. The Harvesters．C. The Starry Night．D. The Amolfini Portrait．2.Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons？______A. Pieter Bruegelthe Elder．B. Vincent van Gogh．C.

It was given away to the museum by a collector．BAdventure-seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot．When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight，she became so fearful of crutches （拐杖）that she didn't move for three weeks．"I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself．So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day，" says Emma．She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run-a quarterly event that she hasn't missed since 2014．"If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year，one in each season，you get Alpha Wolf status，" explains Emma．"This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I'd lose my status．" So she was willing to try anything to get through the course-even with her injured ankle．"I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel，and he persuaded me to give it a go．Having something to aim for really kept me going．" Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2．0，which is a medically-approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg，allowing users to walk freely．I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery．I could move around the house and start getting out and about again，which had a real impact on my mental well-being．"On the day of the race，Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated．Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up her 23 rd Wolf Run in five years．" It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going，" says Emma．4.Why was Emma frightened to use a crutch？______A.

Humorous．CErik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr．Paul Gauthier，a plant physiologist specializing in vertical farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming．Humans have 12，000 years of experience growing food，but only a generation or so worth of experience growing crops indoors．We are still progressing up the technology learning curve （学习曲线）．What's more，traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming．Therefore，without taking time to understand the science，vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises．The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome．Dr．Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as " pie-in-the-sky" businesses．He famously calculates，for instance，that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high．Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis （光合作用），so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light．Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high，vertical farming does create high efficiencies in other areas．Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again．Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary．It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society．The future is probably mixed．In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer．An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland．In other geographies，though，the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability．A large vertical fanning and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine - year life．8.What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2？______A. It will replace traditional farming one day．B. It relies on research of more basic science．C. It can be applicable on different conditions．D. It actually came into being 12，000 years ago．9.What does Dr．Albright think of vertical farms？______A. They use less light than traditional ones．B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed．C. They can overcome many problems in farming．D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer．10.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？______A. The ways of reducing costs of vertical fanning．B. The secrets of developing vertical farming．C. The recent trend of vertical farming．D. The benefits of vertical farming．11.Why is the example of "an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia" mentioned？______A. To show vertical fanning can work well in some places．B. To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia．C. To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high．D. To argue vegetables do not need to be imported any longer．DResearchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth，but it's not Atlantis．They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology，which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran．The continent is called Greater Adria．It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa，only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago．And chances are you've been there without even knowing it．"Forget Atlantis，said Douwe，study author and professor at Utrecht University．" Without realizing it，vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria．" This area is called Adria by geologists，so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscoveredcontinent as Greater Adria．Most of Greater Adria was underwater，covered by shallow seas，coral reefs and sediments （沉淀物）．The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas：the Alps，the Apennines，the Balkans，Greece and Turkey．The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago．This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found．In January 2017，researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana，which began breaking apart 200 million years ago．The leftover piece，which was covered in lava （岩浆），is now under Mauritius，an island in the Indian Ocean．And in September 2017，a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific．It's two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea．Greater Adria isn't the first lost continent to be found．But if research in past years shows anything，it likely won't be the last discovery．12.How did the researchers find Greater Adria？______A. They found it accidentally．B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis．C. They discovered it after years of seaching．D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges．13.What do we know about Greater Adria？______A. It is hidden under the sea level．B. It is much smaller than Greenland．C. It has existed for about 240 million years．D. It has been known to many tourists before．14.Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4？______A. To describe how the researchers explored continents．B. To show some other lost continents have been found．C. To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria．D. To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried．15.What is the best title for the text？______A. Atlantis Discovered FinallyB. Undersea World ExploredC. A Hidden Mountain UndiscoveredD. A Lost Continent Found Under Europe二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Easy Ways to Give Yourself a Fresh Start It doesn't need to be complicated or challenging to turn a fresh page on each new day．Whenever we mark a new year-by turning the calendar，returning to school or celebrating a holiday-we are looking for a fresh start．(1) But how？Here are some easy ways to connect with that feeling of starting fresh，whether it's a new year or simply a new day in our life．(2) This means you have realized what serves your life now and what can stay in your past．Or invest in a new pen and a new notebook．Having fresh supplies can stimulate even the common task of creating your to-do list．Moreover，you can learn something new by opening a book you've been expecting to read，searching a question that's been on your mind，enrolling in a class that motivates your interest．Of course you can simply ask a friend for a fresh idea about an issue．(3)Take a break from technology-for an hour，a day，or a week．(4) You should be able to put some space between yourself and digital routines．One reason we sometimes struggle to start fresh is that you get stuck reflecting on worrisome thoughts about the past，the future or even the present．(5) Allow these thoughts into your day only at a brief （30 minutes or less），specific time．The rest of the time，focus on what you are doing that*s new and positive．How do you give yourself that " fresh start" feeling？A．Electronic Products might not be serving you best．B．Newness or the freshness can guide us on a positive path．C．Limit your daily " worry time" and make an appointment with yourself．D．All of us enjoy newness，but what is it that leads to a sense of freshness？E．Realizing your past mistakes，you should move forward with enthusiasm．F．Increasing your knowledge on any topic means taking your mind into a fresh area．G．First，even letting go of a single box or bag of items can give you a refreshing sense．16.

more，traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming．Therefore，without taking time to understand the science，vertical farming is not likely to be able to liveup to its implied promises．传统的耕作技术是建立在不适用于垂直耕作的条件之上的，因此，如果不花时间去理解科学，垂直耕作就不可能实现其隐含的承诺．可知，垂直耕作的实现要依赖更多的科学研究，结合选项，故选B．2．B．细节理解题．根据文章第三段，He famously calculates，for instance，that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high．Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis （光合作用），so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light．例如，他有一个著名的计算，如果在室内种植，一条面包的成本将是24美元，成本太高．Gauthier承认能源价格很高，但他指出，科学研究表明，只有约6%的可用阳光用于作物光合作用，因此可能有办法在较少的光线下种植相同的植物．可知，Dr．Albright 认为垂直耕作成功的可能性不是很大，结合选项，故选B．3．D．段落大意题．根据文章第四段，Gauthier also points out

society．Gauthier还指出，虽然能源成本有点高，但垂直耕作确实在其他地区创造了高效率．由于相同的水可以一次又一次地循环利用，因此用水可能会大大减少．化肥的使用可能会大大减少，杀虫剂也不必用于害虫防治．很明显，垂直耕作农业为社会提供了真正的价值．可知，第四段讲述了垂直耕作的益处，结合选项，故选D．4．A．推理判断题．根据文章最后一段，The future is probably mixed．In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer．An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland．未来可能是喜忧参半的．在某些环境中，例如中东，转向垂直农业是不需要考虑的．例如，沙特阿拉伯的一个室内农场可以使用太阳能以低成本为LED供电，而不会遮住其他农田．可知，提到沙提阿拉伯的例子是为了证明，垂直农业在某些地方是可以很好的运作的，结合选项，故选A．本文章主要讲述了垂直耕作的必要条件，并说明了其特点和益处．阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．12.【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】C【小题3】B【小题4】D【解析】1．A．细节理解题．根据文章第一段They

2020届合肥市实验学校高三英语一模试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AAlex Palmer says he'll never forget his 13th birthday, not because of a gift or a party, but fire. “It made me realize how valuable life is,” said Alex, a seventh grader atMonroeDemonstrationSchoolinTulsa,Oklahoma.On April 18, Alex and many other kids from his school were riding home on a school bus when they suddenly saw smoke coming from the bus’ engine. “It was jaw-dropping,” he told reporters.By the time Alex and some other kids made it out the bus’ back door, the bus was already on fire. And some of their schoolmates were still inside. So he and some of the other older kids took action.“One little kid was slowing everyone down with his big backpack, ” eighth grader Destiny Fain said, “so I got it off and threw it to the side and helped to make sure all the little kids weren’t fighting or pushing. ”As that was going on, sixth grader Marketez Doyle-Smith reportedly helped another classmate who had trouble in breathing because of the smoke. “We saw our friend lying on the ground,” he said, “so we took our shirts off and waved them to get him some air to breathe.”Marketez also reportedly stopped a younger kid trying to get back on the bus to search for something he’d left behind. “We're all a family,” he told reporters. “So I went back to help the little kid.”Finally everyone made it off safely, thanks to Alex, Destiny, Marketez and several other kids. By later that day, they were already being called heroes. “I really don’t see it as being a hero,” Alex said, according to The World. “I see it as the right thing to do—helping others before you help yourself.”1. What happened on Alex’ s way home?A. The school bus was on fire suddenly.B. There was a party for Alex’s birthday.C. He received a gift from his classmate.D. Some classmates quarreled with each other.2. By saying "We're all a family.” Marketez probably meantA. We’re brothers in the same family.B. It’s our duty to help each other.C. We’re classmates in the same class.D. The thing left on the bus is mine.3. According to the last paragraph, Alex thought that heA. was not a brave student.B. had the right to do anything.C. had just done what he should do.D. hated to be called a hero by others.BMore than 10,000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.The wooden bridge across the river has been washed away. The town is cut off by flood waters. At the fifth mile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is two meters deep. It is closed to all traffic. Flooding first happened at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People trying to get to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims(受害者) had to leave all their things behind.The National Flood Relief(救济) Center was reported to give its help and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers(志愿者).The flood victims are now housed in different simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang. “Everything possible is being done to help the unlucky people,” a government spokesman said, “In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public organizations and helpful people. A Disaster Relief Fund(救灾基金会) will be started as soon as possible.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang. The whole town is expected to be wholly covered by the water. So far no deaths have been reported.4. This passage is probably taken from______.A. a storybookB. a textbookC. a magazineD. a newspaper5. It seems that the flood happened just because ______.A. the banks were too lowB. the wooden bridge is solid (坚固)C. the river was too narrowD. they had had wet days for some time6.From the passage we know that ______.A. though the town was flooded, you could still go there by busB. as soon as the water flowed over the banks, people began to go to higher landsC. the government and the whole society are taking great care of the flood victimsD. the flood hasn't brought a large loss to the town as nobody died in the flood7. What is the best title for this passage?A. A Big FloodB. Ternang Is destroyedC. Over 10,000 People Are HomelessD. Rescue Team ArrivedCWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood，he wasbetter off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys fromBoston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence（能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, ” said George Vaillant, the psychologist（心理学家）who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings（基础）of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”8. What do we know about John？A. He received little love from his family.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He enjoyed his career and marriage.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.9. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _______.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents' expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men10. Vaillant's team got their findings by _______.A. recording the boys' effort in schoolB. comparing different sets of scoresC. evaluating the men's mental healthD. measuring the men's problem solving ability11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D.Independenceis the key to one's success.DA man in Indonesia is walking backwards for 435 miles. He's making the trip to encourage the government and others to value and protect Indonesia's rainforests.Medi Bastoni is 43 years old. He is an Indonesian. Indonesia is a large country in the world formed by a group of islands. There are over 16, 000 islands there，and most of them are covered with rainforests. But on Java, where Mr. Bastoni lives, far more forests have been cleared.Mr. Bastoni believes it's important to protect forests from being cut down, and to restore (恢复) them when they have been destroyed. Near his home, Mount Wilis is now being restored, but Mr. Bastoni wants to make the protection continue. That's how he came up with the idea of the 435-mile walk.And walking backwards? Mr. Bastoni wants Indonesians to look back at their past. Walking backwards is a good way to get attention. Right now, Mr. Bastoni's backward walk is pretty big news in Indonesia.Mr. Bastoni is wearing a frame(框架)that supports a large mirror in front of him, above his head. This allows Mr. Bastoni to look behind him while walking backwards. Besides, Mr. Bastoni is carrying a backpack with some clothes and a little food. He is planning on buying more meals from restaurants along the way. He has been sleeping at police stations, security posts, and even strangers homes during the trip. His plan is to cover about 19 miles a day. In early August he was in Sragen -- about 100 miles from his home. It's not clear whether Mr. Bastoni is still on track to arrive in Jakarta by August 17.12. What do we know about rainforests in Indonesia?A. Indonesia has the largest area of rainforests in the world.B. The loss of rainforests is getting serious on Java.C. The islands there are all covered by rainforests.D Local people pay great attention to rainforests.13. Why did Mr Bastoni want to take the 435-mile walk?A With the purpose of fighting climate change.B. With the aim of becoming a healthy person.C. With the hope of rebuilding rainforests.D. With deep love for traditional sports.14. What's the function of the large mirror?A. To make sure of Mr. Bastoni's safety.B. To show Mr. Bastoni's position correctly.C. To allow Mr. Bastoni to look forwards easily.D. To help Mr. Bastoni enjoy views on the road.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. The difficulty of protecting rainforests in Indonesia.B. The importance of rainforests to Indonesia.C. A trip to recall history and attract attention.D. A walking backwards trip to save rainforests.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年合肥八一学校高三英语一模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AIt was a weeknight and one of my twin daughters marched into the room, waving a book she'd finished. “Dad, why are books with science in them always about boys?” she asked.I told her that simply wasn't true; there were loads of great science fictions with girls in them. She agreed, but argued that in those stories it was the boys who were doing science, and the girls were justalong for the ride. My other daughter took her sister's side and challenged me to give an example.This left me in a difficult position. I could either go through our library to point out some wonderful examples of female-led science fictions, or just admit they were right and remain in my comfortable chair.I've been asked several times how I came up with the idea forA Problematic Paradoxand my answer is always the same: it came to me in a moment of inspiration. I like that answer because it's simple and makes me seem very creative. The fact that this explanation is not true bothers me from time to time. Here's the truth: the story wasn't my idea. It was my daughters who suggested I write something for them that had a girl doing science.My daughters were at an age when many young women turn away from STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), believing those areas of study unfriendly or out-of-the-norm for girls. I also read about how important role models can be to young people. It's one thing to tell a person they can do something, but seeing someone like them doing that thing can be more powerful.So, I kept two guidelines for the book in mind: First, the story had to be fun for anyone, because it's as important for boys to understand that science is for everyone. Second, I wanted the main character, Nikola, to be imperfect. She should be someone with shortcomings as we all have. I think this not only makes a story more interesting to read, but also helps make it clear that the most extraordinary things can be done by ordinary people.1. What does the underlined phrase “along for the ride” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Entering a bike race.B. Offering vital help.C. Doing unimportant things.D. Playing the leading role.2. What do we know about the bookA Problematic Paradox1?A. Its main character is perfect.B. It is a female-led science fiction.C. It is intended to appeal to girls only.D. Its idea comes from the author's inspiration.3. Which of the following best describes the author's book?A. Serious and abstract.B. Simple and practical.C. Creative and well-organized.D. Inspiring and interesting.BMy mother is a teacher. I often asked her, “ Why do you teach? What keeps you teaching?” The answer was always the same. “There is always that one child, that one moment that is worth it.”Now, I am a teacher, too. But different from my mother, I teach students challenging activities outdoors. And when my mother asked me the similar questions, my answer was, “It’s that one child, that one special moment.”One of those moments happened recently. I was working with a group of girls in a four-week programme. Everything went on well through the “Team” events and we were moving on to a“High” one called the Wire Walk.In the Wire Walk, each girl had to climb up the pegs in a tree to a wire, 8 meters high, and then walk across it. Of course, everything was safe for sure.When it was Susie's turn, it seemed that she didn't really want to. I asked Susie if she was ready. She answered softly, “I suppose.”Now, Susie was at the foot of the tree. She started to make the long reach. Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step. I realized she would not go much further.Susie was halfway up. Then she stopped and held the tree tight, looking very afraid. Her eyes were closed. With her face against the tree, she cried, “I can't.”The other girls sat in silence. I talked quietly to Susie, trying to relax her. I talked for a long time till I ran out of words.“I will still be your friend no matter what, Susie!” Mary broke the silence.To my surprise, Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire. Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled. Mary smiled back.Finally, Susie made it all the way across that wire. When she returned to the ground, the first hug she looked for was from Mary. We all cheered. Moments like this keep me doing what I do.4. Why did Susie stop halfway up to the wire?A. It was too high for her to reach.B. She was too afraid to move on.C. Something was wrong with it.D. The teacher asked her to do it.5. Why did Mary break the silence?A. To try again herself.B. To relax the writer.C. To encourage Susie.D. To draw Susie's attention.6. What can we learn from the story of Susie?A. Helping others is helping ourselves.B. A word of encouragement matters a lot.C. Outdoor activities bring peoplecloser than ever.D. A good method plays an important role in teaching.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The Wire WalkB. That One MomentC. Fear and CourageD. The Young HeartsCIt was New Year time, but I wasn’tlooking forward to it. That winter, my mother and my stepfather moved our family toSouthern California. My brother and I were leaving our ruralAlabamabehind. This would be our first New Year away fromAlabama. My mother took toCalifornialike a swan to a royal lake. My athletic little brother, Paul, was keyed up at a climate that allowed him to go to the beach whenever he wanted.I, however, was a fat child with heavy southern pronunciation. My first day in the new class, I introduced myself in a low voice. The moment I opened my mouth to speak, the whole class burst into laughter, “He talks funny.” It was so frustrating that I went to place a call to Granny Smith after school, who was my biggest support, But I didn’t get through.On Sunday evening, the phone rang. It was Granny. She often took advantage of the discounted long-distance rates on Sundays. She said she’d shipped a New Year package. Sure enough, it arrived. Surprised at the box, large enough to hold a small refrigerator, we eagerly tore it open. The smell of Granny’s house filled the room: a combination of fried meat, sausages, furniture polish and decorations. Her house was tiny and always filled withtackyholiday decorations and homemade food before New Year. But in my childhood eyes, it was precious and fantastic.There were countless tins and containers. We open hem to discover piles of holiday treats. She even included our traditional candy bats. The box was as bottomless as a magical box. There, beneath all these, was familiar holiday.Every New Year that we spent inCalifornia, the postal service would call and say our package was arrived. Over the years, many treasures arrived in the box. For me, it’s always been the best part of the holiday.8. How did the author’s brother feel when they were moving toCalifornia?A. Indifferent.B. Joyful.C. Appreciative.D. Disappointed.9. Why did the author’s classmates laugh at him?A. He spoke in a low voice.B. He made a humorous talk.C. He looked overweight.D. He had a strong accent.10. What does the underlined word “tacky” probably mean?A. Suitable.B. Expensive.C. Cheap.D. Attractive.11. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. Granny’s Care PackageB. An UnforgettableHolidayC. Our Move toCaliforniaD. A Telephone Call from GrannyDA young female athlete in thePhilippinesrecently won many gold medals during a sports meet despite not having proper running shoes. Rhea Ballos, an 11-year-old student ofSalvationElementary Schoolin Balason,Iloilo, wasonly wearing bandages around her feet when she competed at the Iloilo Schools Sports Meet.Facebook user Valenzuela posted pictures of the girl with her feet wrapped in bandages bearing the famous Nike logo. Ballos even wrote the word “NIKE” on the sides of her “shoe” to complete the “Nike running shoes” look. The bandages were tightly wrapped around her feet, creating a thin protective layer against the track. While she was actually barefoot during the races, she was still able to defeat her competitors who all more proper footwear intended for running,According to the post, Ballos bagged the top awards in the 400-meter dash, the 800-meter run, and the 1500-meter run in the girls' categories in the inter school sporting event held in Iloilo, central Philippines.When pictures of her “Nike” footwear become popular, Flipinos on social media praised her. Many noted that instead of falling into self-pity, she was even able to make light of the situation by drawing the Nike logo on her “running shoes”. Some of the commenters of Valenzuela's post expressed how the girl deserved to be recognized by Nike and that the brand should actually give her a new pair of real Nike shoes. Others started getting in touch with the American sports brand, as well as local basketball specialty store Titan 22.It did not take long for Titan co-founder and Alaska Aces head coach Jeffrey Cariaso to take notice of Ballos' outstanding achievement. Cariaso immediately made an effort to get in touch with the young track runner. The seven-time PBA champion has since talked to the student as well as her coaches in an apparent bid to help her out.12. Why did Ballos wear bandages around her feet to compete?A.

高考英语一模试卷题号I II III IV V 总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe following 4 famous paintings-from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso'smasterpiece-have stood the test of time．The Amolfini PortraitJan van Eyck's Amolfini Portrait，an oil painting on wood produced in 1434，in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her，is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery，London．This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed．It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society，through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business，wives concerned themselves with domestic duties．The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night，oil on canvas （帆布）， a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village，during his12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint - Remy - de - Provence，France between 1889 and 1890．When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941，it was not well known，but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works．The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565．It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September．Nicolaes Jonghelinck， a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp，commissioned this painting．The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919．GuernicaGuernica， a large black-and-white oil painting，was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter，Pablo Picasso in 1937．The title 'Guernica' refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War．The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result，has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war．Today，the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid．1.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest______A. Guernica．B. The Harvesters．C. The Starry Night．D. The Amolfini Portrait．2.Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons？______A. Pieter Bruegelthe Elder．B. Vincent van Gogh．C. Jan van Eyck．D. Pablo Picasso．3.What do we know about the painting The Starry Night？______A. It was painted on wood in oils．B. It described the painter's life in hospital．C. It wasn't widely recognized before 1941．D. It was given away to the museum by a collector．BAdventure-seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot．When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight，she became so fearful of crutches （拐杖）that she didn't move for three weeks．"I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself．So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day，" says Emma．She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run-a quarterly event that she hasn't missed since 2014．"If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year，one in each season，you get Alpha Wolf status，" explains Emma．"This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I'd lose my status．" So she was willing to try anything to get through the course-even with her injured ankle．"I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel，and he persuaded me to give it a go．Having something to aim for really kept me going．" Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2．0，which is a medically-approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg，allowing users to walk freely．I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery．I could move around the house and start getting out and about again，which had a real impact on my mental well-being．"On the day of the race，Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated．Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up her 23 rd Wolf Run in five years．" It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going，" says Emma．4.Why was Emma frightened to use a crutch______A. She was afraid of recovering slowly．B. She was warned not to move around．C. She just had an operation on her foot．D. She often got injured when using one．5.What does the underlined word "gutted" mean in Paragraph 2______A. Extremely sad．B. A bit relieved．C. Very surprised．D. Pretty cheerful．6.What actually made Emma take part in the race______A. Her new hi-tech artificial leg．B. Her fear of letting her friend down．C. Her strong desire to achieve her ambition．D. Her complete recovery from the operation．7.Which of the following best describes Emma______A. Strong-willed．B. Supportive．C. Creative．D. Humorous．CErik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr．Paul Gauthier， a plant physiologist specializing in vertical farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming．Humans have 12，000 years of experience growing food，but only a generation or so worth of experience growing crops indoors．We are still progressing up the technology learning curve （学习曲线）．What's more，traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming．Therefore，without taking time to understand the science，vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises．The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome．Dr．Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as " pie-in-the-sky" businesses．He famously calculates，for instance，that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high．Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis （光合作用），so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light．Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high，vertical farming does create high efficiencies in other areas．Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again．Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary．It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society．The future is probably mixed．In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer．An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland．In other geographies，though，the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability．A large vertical fanning and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine - year life．8.What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2______A. It will replace traditional farming one day．B. It relies on research of more basic science．C. It can be applicable on different conditions．D. It actually came into being 12，000 years ago．9.What does Dr．Albright think of vertical farms？______A. They use less light than traditional ones．B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed．C. They can overcome many problems in farming．D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer．10.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about______A. The ways of reducing costs of vertical fanning．B. The secrets of developing vertical farming．C. The recent trend of vertical farming．D. The benefits of vertical farming．11.Why is the example of "an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia" mentioned______A. To show vertical fanning can work well in some places．B. To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia．C. To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high．D. To argue vegetables do not need to be imported any longer．DResearchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth，but it's not Atlantis．They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology，which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran．The continent is called Greater Adria．It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa，only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago．And chances are you've been there without even knowing it．"Forget Atlantis，said Douwe，study author and professor at Utrecht University．" Without realizing it，vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria．" This area is called Adria by geologists，so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent asGreater Adria．Most of Greater Adria was underwater，covered by shallow seas，coral reefs and sediments （沉淀物）．The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas：the Alps，the Apennines，the Balkans，Greece and Turkey．The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago．This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found．In January 2017，researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana，which began breaking apart 200 million years ago．The leftover piece，which was covered in lava （岩浆），is now under Mauritius，an island in the Indian Ocean．And in September 2017，a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific．It's two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea．Greater Adria isn't the first lost continent to be found．But if research in past years shows anything，it likely won't be the last discovery．12.How did the researchers find Greater Adria？______A. They found it accidentally．B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis．C. They discovered it after years of seaching．D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges．13.What do we know about Greater Adria？______A. It is hidden under the sea level．B. It is much smaller than Greenland．C. It has existed for about 240 million years．D. It has been known to many tourists before．14.Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4？______A.

society．Gauthier还指出，虽然能源成本有点高，但垂直耕作确实在其他地区创造了高效率．由于相同的水可以一次又一次地循环利用，因此用水可能会大大减少．化肥的使用可能会大大减少，杀虫剂也不必用于害虫防治．很明显，垂直耕作农业为社会提供了真正的价值．可知，第四段讲述了垂直耕作的益处，结合选项，故选D．4．A．推理判断题．根据文章最后一段，The future is probably mixed．In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer．An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland．未来可能是喜忧参半的．在某些环境中，例如中东，转向垂直农业是不需要考虑的．例如，沙特阿拉伯的一个室内农场可以使用太阳能以低成本为LED供电，而不会遮住其他农田．可知，提到沙提阿拉伯的例子是为了证明，垂直农业在某些地方是可以很好的运作的，结合选项，故选A．本文章主要讲述了垂直耕作的必要条件，并说明了其特点和益处．阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．12.【答案】【小题1】A

Recently, the town of Kaneyama in Yamagata Prefecture decided to get its 6, 000 residents (居民) tested.However, the frozen urine samples (尿样) are not tested in conventional ways. Instead, Professor Masao Miyashita and his team are using them in a trial to determine if specially trained cancer-sniffing dogs can accurately detect the disease. Though the study is still in its early stages, Miyashita is thrilled with the results. He said, “In our research so far, cancer detection dogs have been able to find signs of cancer with an accuracy of nearly 100 percent.”Researchers have known about the animals’ superior sensory skills for decades. However, their ability to detect cancer in humans came to light in 1989, after a dog sniffed out early-stage malignant melanoma (恶性黑色素瘤) on a patient’s leg in London. Since then, scientists from many countries have conducted studies to test dogs’ great skill at identifying cancer chemicals.While most dogs can be trained for the task researchers say the best candidates are dogs that are precise, quiet, and perhaps even a little shy. The training process is similar to how dogs are taught to learn any trick — by rewarding them with treats! However, it takes much longer because the dogs have to learn to separate the “cancer scent (气味)”from the thousands of organic compounds (有机化合物) in the human body. Researchers begin by exposing the dogs to urine samples from people with cancer, people with other diseases, and patients with no health issues, Once the dogs are able to accurately identify cancer, they are further trained to detect particular kinds of cancer.Successful as they may be, experts think dogs are unlikely to replace conventional tests. For one, it takes about seven years and costs as much as $45,000 to train a single dog. Klaus Hackner, a researcher and physician who studies dogs detecting cancer in breath samples at Krems University Hospital in Austria, is also not convinced dogs can be relied upon alone. Patients, therefore, have to receive further tests to confirm if they have the disease.4. What do we know about the cancer-sniffing dogs mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They have done a great job.B. They are trained in a special way.C. They can easily learn to distinguish cancer.D. They can be seen in many Japanese hospitals.5. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?A. Offer readers some advice.B. Add some background information.C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.6. What kind of dog is suitable for the cancer-sniffing job?A. Smart and brave.B. Active and faithful.C. Strong and patient.D. Careful and peaceful.7. What is Klaus Hackner’s opinion on cancer-sniffing dogs?A. They should work as a team.B. They need to receive more training.C. They can replace doctors in detecting cancer.D. They should be used together with traditional tests.CIn Australia, plenty of wild things can bite or sting(刺伤) you. Strangely enough, one of them is a tree. Now scientists have figured out what makes the tree’s sting so bad.The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people callit the gympie-gympie tree—a name given to the tree by native Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you touch a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months.Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes this stinging plant so painful. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain.The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked(舔) at the places where they’d been injected, indicating that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they foundthat they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemicals very stable, which helps explain why the pain stays so long.The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and cone snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all using similar poisons. Spiders and cone snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons (small s of the kangaroo) are able to eat the plant without trouble.8. Why is a touch on the stinging tree unforgettable?A. Because it has so unusual an appearance.B. Because it is extremely rare in existence.C. Because touching it creates a quite strange feeling.D. Because the pain caused by it doesn’t go away quickly.9. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree?A. How it produces poisons.B. What poisons it produces.C. How it benefits from the sting.D. The consequences of its sting.10. What does the text imply about the stinging tree?A. It produces the same poisons as spiders.B. Poisonous as it is, it also has natural enemies.C. Animals are wise enough to stay away from it.D. Only one chemical in it causes pain to the toucher.11. What’s the best title for the text?A. Scientists Discover Stinging Tree's SecretB. Caution: Stinging Tree Can Bite and Poison YouC. Scientists Discover a Strange Species in AustraliaD. Effective Ways to Avoid Being Hurt by Stinging TreeDThe air is thin and we have to rest several times on the shore hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we stay here.Tibetan antelopes live mainly on the plains of Tibet. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I'm struck by their beauty. I'm also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted illegally for their valuable fur.My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a safe place for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We're not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we're trying to save ourselves.”In the 1980s and 1990s the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make money. Their living places were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.In order to save Tibetan antelopes, the Chinese government placed them under national protection. Zhaxi and volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope wasremovedfrom the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection program since the threat to the Tibetan antelope has not yet disappeared. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.12. What can we learn from Zhaxi's words in paragraph 3?A. Protecting the animals can make money.B. Protecting the animals is protecting ourselves.C. He is not fond of protecting the animals.D. The reserve is only safe for wild animals.13. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?A. Why hunters hunt Tibetan antelopes.B. Why antelopes' living places changed.C. Why antelopes' number dropped greatly.D. Why the 1980s and the 1990s are unusual.14. What does the underlined word “removed” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Deleted.B. Changed.C. Migrated.D. Recognized.15. What might be the future condition of Tibetan antelopes according to the last paragraph?A. They will be over-populated.B. They will be a threat to man and other wildlife.C. They will be on the endangered species list again.D. They will be in harmony with nature and humans.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

In the late1800s, industrialization had driven urban populations and land prices up, making tall buildings increasingly cost-effective, according to Carol Willis, director of theSkyscraperMuseuminNew York, “The very first tall buildings were office buildings that concentrated a work force, piled one on top of the other in order to make business very efficient, ”she says.Like all major changes in architecture, the trend wasunderpinnedby engineering. The development of steel framework, which could be used instead of load-bearing stones, made it easier and cheaper to build tall. The coming of the elevator, meanwhile, made living on higher floors far more convenient.Though similar in shape, today's skyscrapers (摩天大楼) look little like those built in the first half of the 20thcentury. This is mostly thanks to architecture's next major technological shift：the curtain wall.Postwar developments in manufacturing meant that huge panes of glass could be produced quickly and uniformly, and glass windows soon became the front of choice for high-rises. As well as allowing for greater floor space and more natural light, glass exteriors (外部) help. buildings resist greater windloads.There are now 191 completed skyscrapers that are at least 300 meters tall. But that doesn't mean our cities will grow taller indefinitely. While each additional story adds sellable floor space, construction costs also rise. All buildings reach a point where adding an extra floor will cost more money than it brings.“Every city wants to have this landmark that gives that sense of distinct culture, ”but it also needs places for people to live and work in urban settings“without the city sprawling (无序扩张), ”explains Hong Kong architect Simon Chan.The next big challenge facing architects goes beyond height：At a time when buildings and their construction account for more than a third of the world's energy consumption and contribute about 40% of greenhouse gas emissions(排放), there are new costs to consider.Whether it's employing more energy-efficient materials, encouraging natural air or using buildings themselves to generate solar or wind energy, reducing carbon emissions is the new frontier for many skyscraperarchitects.4. What does the underlined word“underpinned” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Created.B. Prepared.C. Suggested.D. Supported.5. What made living on higher floors much more convenient?A. The development of steel framework.B. Load-bearing stones.C. The use of the elevator.D. The curtain wall.6. What can we know from paragraph 5?A. Our cities will grow taller definitely.B. All skyscrapers are at least 300 meters tall.C. Construction cost rises as the stories increase.D. The profit for builders will be greater as the building becomes higher.7. What's the next big challenge facing architects?A. How to build the greenest building.B. How to build the strongest building.C. How to build the tallest building in the world.D. How to build the most comfortable building.CHi, Momis a hit inChina. Since its release in early February the movie has earned more than 5 billion yuan at the box office.

That kind of permanently happy state can’t be the goal, because it’s impossible to achieve.It turns out that psychological research finds true happiness comes from authentic positivity, and authentic positivity comes from emotional flexibility.Being flexible emotionally means being open to the full range of emotional experiences, including the challenging ones like anger, disappointment and sadness. Emotional flexibility means being able to shift behaviors and mindsets to meet different situational needs, and adapting when circumstances change.However, emotionally flexible people are not chameleons (变色龙) whose outlook changes based on which way the wind is blowing. Instead, emotional flexibility is a skill that helps people judge the complexities of daily life, and stick to their deeply held values.I’ve learned a new word that I’d like to share with you: Eudaimonia (幸福感). Eudaimonia is the opposite of hedonism (享乐主义), the idea that happiness comes from the constant pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain. Eudaimonia, by contrast, encourages us to pursue meaning and authenticity, growth and honest joy. Both are philosophical approaches to happiness, and recent psychological thought is leaning toward eudaimonia as a more sustainable, satisfying model.Eudaimonia was first mentioned by Aristotle, who got the term from the Greek word “daimon,” which means “true nature.” Tome, walking a positive path means accepting that we each have positive true nature and permanent goodness. What we learn from the concept of eudaimonia is that we are best equipped to realize this nature when we are emotionally honest and flexible.4. What is the author’s belief?A. People should live alone.B. People can’t always be happy.C. People can’t always achieve their goals.D. People should pursue true achievements.5. What do enmotionally flexible people commit themselves to?A. Their strongly believed values.B. Their different needs.C. Permanent happiness.D. The pursuit of hedonism.6. How can people gain eudaimonia according to the author?A. By being honest to others.B. By changing true nature.C. By keeping realstically optimistic.D. By pursuing pleasure constantly.7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. What is the meaning of eudaimonia?B. What should we do to keep positive?C. How can we keep happy forever?D. Why can’t people be happy all the time?CWatching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what's on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adultsfor five years, splitting them into three categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) - meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health problems like heart conditions and diabetes.When the participants reported back five years later 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome — and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters. But that's not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, larger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.The researchers saygobblingmakes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signal you to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” said Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate less when told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing. Initial research even suggests chewing yourfood longer could bum more calories - up to about 1,000 extra every month.8. What are the participants divided by?A. Medical history.B. Health condition.C. Physical activity.D. Eating speed.9. Which may be the result of the study?A. Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome.B. Normal and slow eaters don’t have metabolic illness.C. 89% of fast eaters have higher blood pressure.D. Slow caters are healthier than fast eaters.10. What does the underlined word “gobbling” in Paragraph 4 best mean?A. Tasting slowly.B. Digesting quickly.C. Eating greedily.D. Cooking carefully.11. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. The importance of eating speed.B. The advantage of eating slowly.C. The result of a Chinese study.D. Fast eating and overeating.DThe relationship between humans and the Amazon Rainforest has not always been a harmonious one. However, recent research suggests that the native peoples ofthe Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. Perhaps humans’ coexisting with nature is possible after all.The study, published in PNAS, looked at soil samples in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land. The researchers found that the trees still growing in the region today have been growing there for the last 5,000 years — evidence that the area has not been home to cities and farmland in that time. Traces of charcoal(木炭) found in the, soil, however, indicate that people did live there; they just did so in a way that had minimum influence on their environment.To come to these conclusions the team dug a 0.6-0.9 meter deep column into the ground, taking samples of soilfrom different heights along the column. Back in the lab, samples were carbon- dated to determine their age and then sorted under a microscope to look for microscopic mineral particles, known as phytoliths (植硅体). Phytoliths are essential evidence of plants— they remained in the soil thousands of years after the plant died. So researchers can use them to tell which plants have grown in an area in the past.Over 5,000 years’ worth of samples, no species loss was detected. These findings suggest that contrary tocommon belief, the Amazon is not untouched by humans, but rather has been protected by them for thousands of years. The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversity and will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from acollapse.As Nigel Pitman, a co-author on the paper, said: “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.”12. How did native peoples deal with the rainforest in the region of Putumayo?A. They always destroyed the rainforest.B. They had a side effect on the rainforest.C. They never lived in the area of the forest.D. They had been in harmony with the forest.13. What did the researchers try to find in the Amazon forest in Peru?A. The diversity of the plants in the rainforest.B. The evidence of human influence on the forest.C. The nutrition of the soil samples in the rainforest.D. The survival age of growing trees in the rainforest.14. What does the underlined word “collapse” mean in Paragraph 4?A. Sudden decrease.B. Bad management.C. Poor preservation.D. Over development.15. What can be inferred from Nigel Pitman's words?A. Native peoples should protectthe rainforest.B. We should help protect the Amazon Rainforest.C. More science research should be done on rainforest.D We should make good use of the Amazon Rainforest.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。

Around the world people drink it to relax, reinvigorate and relieve, and it's something we need now more than ever.Even in the United States, a long coffee-dominated country, tea drinking is growing in popularity, with the country consuming 0.4 kilograms (14 ounces) of tea leaves per person a year compared with 0. 36 kilograms(12. 7 ounces) in 2007 according to the United Nations, as people switch away from soda，milk and fruit drinks.Scientists are beginning to look into just how tea might affect mood and cognition. Specifically, they're investigating whether its relaxing and refreshing effects are a direct biological outcome of the compounds in tea or whetherthey come from the context in which the drink is consumed—preparing your tea, choosing your favorite cup and sitting down for a brief break from the world. Or both.Drinking green tea has been found to improve brain function in healthy people, said Stefan Borgward, chair and director of the department of psychiatry and psychotherapy at the University of Lubeck, Germany.In a 2014 study, he gave one or two cups of green tea to 12 healthy volunteers and imaged their brains to analyze changes in connectivity inside certain brain regions.“We noticed an increased connectivity in regions of the brain associated with working memory,” he said via email.And a 2017 review of more than 100 studies he coauthored found that green tea can impact the brain in three ways: It can influence psychopathological state such as reducing anxiety; cognition by benefiting memory and attention; and brain function, specifically memory.That review concluded that "it would be desirable" for more Westerners to consume at least 100 milliliters(3.3 fluid ounces) of green tea each day “to protect neurocognitive function.”However, Borgward, cautioned that the effects aren't large, and the evidence is mainly provided by small-scale studies.4. How does the author introduce the tendency of drinking in the U.S.?A. By showing examples.B. By explaining reasons.C. By making a comparison.D. By checking existing facts.5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Scientists are looking into why tea makes people relaxed and refreshed.B. The context in which the drink is consumed is very important.C. People's relaxation is the direct biological outcome of the ingredients in tea.D. Preparing tea, choosing a cup and sitting down for a brief rest is amazing.6. What can we conclude from Stefan's research?A. Tea is a cure for a neurocognitive disease.B. Green tea is particularly beneficial to our memory.C. Drinking tea every day can prevent us from getting ill.D. Westerners drink less than 100 milliliters of green tea.7. What is the researcher'sattitude towards the finding?A. SupportiveB. Doubtful.C. Unclear.D. Objective.CThe beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning, but is running on the sand good for your body? It can be, but it’s important to be aware of the challenges that some beach runners experience before you get ready.Running on the beach can be a good thing. It’s certainly different from running on a track or a pavement. For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven (不平坦的) surface. As you push off, you’re going to lose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you’re not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or a pavement. But this unevenness has anupside: It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you toexercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces. For example, your feet, ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because the surface is constantly moving and changing step to step.You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope (倾斜) down to the water. If you’re going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot — not wearing anything on feet. However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and don’t run long distances at first. That’s because running barefoot uses more different muscles than running with shoes does, and it’s important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet. If you want to run barefoot and as long as you run carefully enough into it, go for it!Running on the sand can be a smart choice for you, because running on softer ground surfaces can reduce muscle damage.8. Why is it difficult to run on the beach for starters?A. The soft surface makes people fall over easily.B. People need to run carefully on its smooth surface.C. Running on its uneven surface takes much effort.D. It’s hard to keep one’s balance on its hard surface.9. Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Advantage.B. Reason.C. Character.D. Challenge.10. What’s the author’s attitude to barefoot running?A. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Uncaring.11. The passage can probably be found in ______.A. A primary school textbookB. A tourist guideC. A sports magazineD. A scientific reportDA teenager in Georgia will no longer have to walk 7 miles to work after school thanks to one woman’s act of kindness.Jayden Sutton, a high school senior, went on foot each day from school to his job at a restaurant and then back home. Sutton was determined to work and make enough money to eventually buy his own vehicle.Sutton said he’d leave school at 3:30 pm, then walk miles to his job at the restaurant. After his work, which usually lasted six to eight hours, he walked home, sometimes not arriving back until almost midnight.That all changed when Myers saw him walking down the road in the rain in December. “The young man was insistently in a rush walking to work, saying ‘I can’t be late,’” Myers said. “He begged me to give him a ride. I told him I could take him as far as I was going. I began to create small talk along the way. It wasrevealedto me that his name was Jayden, 12th grader, worked 40 hours a week, walked 5 miles to work immediately after school, got off at 10:30 pm at night and walked back home another 5 miles if co-workers didn’t offer a ride.”After dropping Sutton off, Myers said his heart and determination filled her with tears. “He was smiling in good spirits and that’s a child worth blessing,” she told Fox News. So, Myers shared Sutton’s story on the GoFundMe page, which raised more than $ 9, 000 from 186 donors.She surprised Sutton with a new car after she managed to convince the general manager to drop the price of the vehicle to meet the budget.12.

Green CircleBUK physicist Isaac Newton once said, ''Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy (傻子). '' Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel andlash out at us.The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎, NCP) in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. According to Xinhua News Agency, the new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host (中间宿主). It's believed that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said, ''This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale, human population density, wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病). ''In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe (敬畏). For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings.However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify (改变) plants, capture some wild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance. For example, cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the atmosphere and it contributes to global warming.Although we don't know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it's time for people to ''reflect on our relationship with our planet'' and ''reconnect with this world and everything that we've been given''. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, ''Nature is not the place to visit. It's our home. ''4. What does the phrase ''lash out at'' in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. punishB. controlC. testD. challenge5. What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the NCP outbreak?A. Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals.B. It's impossible to prevent new pandemics globally.C. We should stop the wildlife trade around the world.D. Humans should live peacefully with nature.6. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?A. How human beings become their own masters.B. How human activities cause global warming.C. How human beings break the balance of nature.D. How humans use technology to improve their lives.7. What is the author's purpose in writing this article?A. To reflect on the NCP outbreak.B. To explain what led to the NCP outbreak.C. To describe experts' predictions on new pandemics.D. To compare ancient and modern attitudes toward nature.CIn 1990, Hal Donaldson was 23 years old, fresh out of college and found himself in Calcutta, India, where he was asked to interview Mother Teresa.Donaldson says about the great woman famed for feeding the hungry, “She wasn't wearing shoes and her ankles were swollen. She sat down with me and was very polite.” After the interview, Mother Teresa asked him, “What are you doing to help the poor?” Donaldson admitted that he was young and wasn't focused on helping others. With a smile on her face, Mother Teresa said, “Everyone can do something.”Those words deeply struck Donaldson and forced him to face some hard truths about himself.Hal Donaldson grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. When he was 12 years old, his parents were hit by a drunk driver; his father died, and his mother was seriously injured. To make ends meet, they went on welfare. Donaldson says, “I had holes in my shoes and clothes. When you're teased at school for that, you just want to escape.”He managed to do just that. Donaldson got into college and turned his focus to making money for himself He says, “I was just trying to find my way out of insignificance. However, it's easy to overlook others along the way. I was the guy that would see a homeless person and cross the street, so I didn'thave to confront (面对) him. My focus was on climbing to the top instead of helping those trying to climb with me.”Donaldson returned home from India with a different thought. He traveled to eight cities in America and stayed on the streets and listened tostories of the homeless. “My heart broke,” he says. “I knew I could no longer just live for myself.”Inspired by Mother Teresa's words and the stories he'd heard across America. Donaldson loaded a pick-up truck with $300 worth of groceries and handed them out to anyone who needed help. In 1994, Donaldson created the nonprofit organization, Convoy for Hope, which works with communities across America and around the world. Their work focuses on feeding children, women's empowerment, helping farmers and disaster services.8. What did 23-year-old Hal Donaldson do in India?A. He attended an interview for a college.B. He fed the hungry with Mother Teresa.C. He interviewed Mother Teresa.D. He did something to help the poor.9. What can we learn about Hal Donaldson from paragraph 4?A. He was born with disability.B. He led a hard life as a child.C. He was well treated at school.D. He survived as a parentless boy.10. How does Hal Donaldson describe himself in college?A. Self-centered.B. Sympathetic.C. Popular.D. Casual.11. How did Hal Donaldson change after he returned home from India?A. He preferred traveling to volunteering.B. He suddenly fell in love with journalism.C. He turned his focus to living for himself.D. He gradually devoted himself to helping others.DA study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that a devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also healthier.For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists between the ages of 55 to 79. This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. We will call this group the “cyclists”.Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group, 75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36. The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. We will call this group the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol and people with other health issues were not included in the study.Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass (肌肉质量), muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune (免疫的) systems. Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.The researchers advise us all to find an exercise that we like in our lives.12. How did the researchers carry out the study?A. By comparing.B. By discussing.C. By imagining.D. By reasoning.13. Which of the following is a result of the research?A. The cyclists kept a thin body shape.B. The non-exercisers gained weight easily.C. The cyclists’ muscles remained strong with age.D. The non-exercisers usually had health problems.14. Which is an unexpected result for the researchers?A. The cyclists had normal aging process.B. The cyclists’ immune systems didn’t age.C. The cyclists lost nearly all their fat.D. Everyone needed an exercise in their lives.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Healthy People Need More ExerciseB. Take an Exercise, the Harder, the BetterC. Cycling Is the Best Way to Prevent AgingD. A Lifetime of Exercise Slows Aging Process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年合肥市三十五中学高三英语一模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AGetting your kid to bed at night is seriously one of the most challenging things you'll ever have to do. Most kids are just so full of energy that they'll tire you out before they're halfway through their store of energy. An easy thing to calm down your child to get into bed is giving in and allowing some iPad screen time. However, it's really not a great idea, just like you thought.Researchers at theArizonaStateUniversityconducted a study with 547 kids between the ages of 7 to 9. Their parents tracked how much screen time the kids were allowed along with their sleep patterns. The study found that kids who did not engage in screen time before bed slept for 23 more minutes every week and also went to sleep about 34 minutes earlier than those playing with iPad. Although that might not seem like so much more time, quality of sleep is vastly important in Children's development.The CDC's (美国疾病控制中心)2018 National Youth Risk Survey outlines that good quality sleep can impact a child's life in many ways, including affecting grades and also weight gain. Students with an "A" average slept for 30 or more minutes per night than those with a "D" or"F" average.A 2018PennsylvaniaStateUniversitystudy showed that children with irregular bedtimes had a higher risk of having increased body weight. Those with consistent and age-appropriate bedtimes when they were 9 years old had a healthier BMI (体质指数)at age 15 than those with irregular bedtimes.Hard as it is, it's really important not to give in and hand over an iPad to your child who is about to go to bed. Just like it's important for adults to go to sleep without any distractions, it's even more important for kids.1. What do the findings of the researchers at theArizonaStateUniversitysuggest?A. More sleep is necessary for children's development.B. Enough sleep helps improve academic performances.C. Screen time before bed leads to later and less sleep.D. Children sleeping irregularly are easy to gain weight.2. What is the text mainly about?A. How is screen time affecting teenagers?B. What are negative effects of irregular bedtimes?C. When should you get your kid to bed at night?D. Why is screen time before bed a bad idea for kids?3. Who is the text intended for?A. Parents.B. Children.C. Teachers.D. Researchers.BDepression（抑郁症）in young adult males, ages 18 or 19, is linked to a 20% greater risk of having a heart attack in middle age, according to a new Swedish study.The link can be partly explained by poorer stress resilience（抗压能力）and lower physical fitness among teens with mental disorders.Theresearch included 238,013 men born between 1958 and 1962 who were given examinations in adolescence（青春期）and were then followed into middle age（up to the age of 58 years）. A total of 34,503 men were diagnosed（诊断）with a mental disorder.The study found thata mental disorder in young adulthond was linked to a higher risk of having heart attack by middle age. Compared to men without a mental illness in young adulthood，the risk of heart attack was 20%higher among men with a diagnosis.“We already knew that menwho were physically fit in adolescence seem less likely to keep fitness in later years if they have low stress resilience” said study author Dr. Bergh, “Our research has also shown that low stress resilience is also connected with a greater tendency towards bad behavior, such as higher risks of smoking, drinking and other drug use.”“Better fitness in adolescence is likely to help protect against later heart disease, particularly if people stay fit as they age. Physical activities may also reduce some of the bad effects of stress. Those in poor health could benefit from additional support to encourage exercise and develop plans to deal with stress,” said Bergh.4. How does the author develop paragraph 3?A. By giving examples.B. By listing figures.C. By making a comparison.D. By drawing a conclusion.5. What are men with low stress resilience likely to do?A. Smoke more.B. Eat more.C. Sleep less.D. Do less exercise.6. What will Bergh agree with according to the last paragraph?A. Physical activitiesadd to stress.B. Stress may cause heart disease.C. Taking exercise is unnecessary.D. Staying fit is of great importance.7. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D. Fashion.CWhen I was young, my mother didn't have the money to send me to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4：30 inthe morning.We needevery one of you to develop your talents and your skills so that you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems.

By working hard.DScientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (麻省理工学院) have turned spider webs into music——creating an strange soundtrack that could help them better understand how the spiders output their complex creations and even how they communicate.The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno to take 2D (two-dimensional) laser (激光) scans of a spider web, which were linked together and made into a mathematical model that could recreate the web in 3Din VR (virtual reality). They also worked with MIT’s music department to create the virtual instrument.“Even though the web looks really random (随机)，there actually are a lot of inside structures and you can visualize (可视化) them and you can look at them, but it’s really hard to grasp for the human imagination or human brain to understand all these structural details,” said MIT engineering professor Markus Buehler, who presented the work on Monday at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web lets you see and hear these structural changes and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world, he told CNN. “Spiders use vibrations (振动) as a way to locate themselves, to communicate with other spiders and so the idea of thinking really like a spider would experience the world was something that was very important to us as spider material scientists,” Buehler said.Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports, so having a better idea of how they work could lead to the development of advanced new 3D printing techniques. “The reason why I did that is I wanted to be able to get information really from the spider world, which is very weird and mysterious,” Buehler explained. In addition to the scientific value, Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the sounds the spider creates during construction. “It’s unusual and eerie and scary, but finally beautiful.” he described.12. What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?A. They have translated spider webs into sounds.B. They have made a mathematical model to produce webs.C. They have created a soundtrack to catch spiders.D. They have known how spiders communicate.13. What can we know about spider webs from paragraph 3?A. Their structures are beautiful and clear.B. Professor Markus Buehler knows them well.C. The American Chemical Society presents the result.D. They are complex for people to figure it out.14. In which field will the study be helpful?A. virtual realityB. printingC. paintingD. film-making15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. It tells us that the music created by spiders is scary.B. It shows how the researchers carry out the experiment.C. It presents a new and creative way to study spiders.D. It explains why scientists did the experiment.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。

Here is a list of four noteworthy art fairs.Art Basel, Basel, SwitzerlandThe granddaddy of art fairs, Art Basel, was established in 1970 by a group of local art gallerists and is the biggest contemporary art fair in the world. Art Basel takes place over a 5-day period each June in Basel, Switzerland. The high cost of renting space for gallery owners is offset（抵消）by the huge attendance at the fair. For example in 2010, about 60,000 visitors attended Art Basel.Frieze Art Fair, London“Frieze Art Fair was established in 2003 and is one of the few fairs to focus only on contemporary art and living artists.v"Thefair takes place every October in Regent's Park, London. It features over 170 of the most exciting contemporary art galleries in the world. ”In addition to the fair which began in 2003, the fair owners Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp publish Frieze, an international art magazine established in 1991 and devoted to contemporary art.TEFAF Maastricht, the NetherlandsEstablished in 1975 as The Pictura Fine Art Fair, and renamed The European Fine Art Foundation（TEFAF）, Maastricht in 1996, the fair includes 260 of the world's most famous art and antique dealers from 16 countries.The 24th edition of the TEFAF fair held March 18 — 27, 2011 featured 260 dealers exhibiting approximately 30, 000 artworks and antiques with an overall value of $ US 1. 4 billion.ARCO, MadridARCO Madrid was established in 1982 and is one of Europe's leading and popular art fairs.

AI is designed to imitate(模仿）the human brain in decision making and learning, so with the computing power to learn tasks in days or even hours, it is possible to create medical AIs that rapidly outperform doctors in certain tasks.Data plays a hugely important role in helping AI systems learn about human medicine. AI systems are trained on large data sets gathered from real-life cases. Providing detailed patient information in quantities is a crucial factor for their success.One of the most important areas for influencing global health is in the field of epidemiology(流行病学）。

Lots of business have appeared to meet a rising demand for quiet time, from silent weekend getaways to silent dining, silent reading parties and even silent dating. Silence can mean different things to different people. We are usually silent only with those closest to us. So there is something almost radical(不同凡响的)about the recent trend towards enjoying silence with strangers.Mariel started a regular silent reading party inDundeejust under a year ago. Readers bring their books and meet in a bar, where they read together in silence for an hour or sometimes two and then put their books away to chat and have a drink. “When the reading party starts, everything goes quiet,” says Mariel, “ It’s a little bit surreal (超现实的), especially in what is usually a noisy bar. However, there is something special about sharing the silence with others. It offers a chance to escape from reality; everyone is so busy with work and with technology being ever present. An event like thisgives people the opportunity to escape these things for a while.”Honi Ryan is an artist based inBerlinwho began hosting silent dinner back in 2006. The rules of the dinner are: no talking, no using your voice, no reading or writing, trying to make as little noise as possible, not connecting with technology, and staying for at least two hours. So far she has taken her silent dinner project toMexico, theUS,AustraliaandChina. “It’s evident that the age-old connections we make over food do not depend on the words around it. Silence creates the space for the people and places involved to fill with whatever is needed;itis quite different from our usual social behaviors.”4. Why have lots of silent businesses appeared?A. To satisfy people’s demand for silence.B. To make people get close to each other.C. To appeal to young people.D. To change people’s old way of life.5. What can we learn about Mariel’s silent reading parties?A. Readers can use their voice while reading.B. Readers can be busy with their work.C. Readers can connect with technology.D. Readers can chat and drink after reading.6. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A. noiseB. spaceC. silenceD. food7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Escape from Reality.B. Enjoying Being Quiet.C. Silent Reading Parties.D. Silent Dining Projects.CDisease-carrying mosquitoes can spread diseases without affecting themselves. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.Even though DEET remains the most commonly used, and most powerful, mosquito repellent ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.In his lab atIowaStateUniversity, Dr. Joel Coats and his team have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection, and they are called “spatial” repellents, since they act through space. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, and houses. The other group are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; collaborators at the USDA-ARS and BioGents have conducted testing with humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegradable, with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.8. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 1?A. The way mosquitoes spread disease.B. The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness.C. The difficulty of fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes.D. The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes.9. What is a disadvantage of DEET?A. It won’t be effective for long.B. It can’t be applied universally.C. It causes discomfort to the users.D. It greatly harms people’s health.10. What can we learn about the second group of the new repellents?A. They can kill mosquitoes indirectly.B. They are mainly used in the open air.C. They are more effective on human skin.D. They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users.11. What’s the author’s attitude to the new repellents?A. Subjective.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.DWhen Rich Jean wanted to help his daughter, Abigail, learn to read, he took her to the library near their home in Brooklyn, N. Y. That's where they met Hasina Islam, who Jean says arose her interest in reading and the library.“You see what you started? You see that spark that you put in this child?” Jean told Hasina Islam at aStoryCorpsconversation in 2016. At the time, Abigail was 7 and Islam was 27. Their friendship began when Abigail was 3. Through the years, Islam has offered book suggestions that Abigail has read with great enthusiasm. “What's cool is that Hasina has recommended a lot of books that I, at the time, thought might be a little too advanced for you," Jean told Abigail. “Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Abigail said.Islam's own love of the library was sparked when she was in the third grade. She lived near the main branch of the Queens Public Library in New York City, and she went there to research Henry Hudson, an English explorer, for a school project."The librarian made me feel so special. She remembered my name, and my favorite thing was that she gave me book recommendations," she said."

The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved, plants provide carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to the funguses and in exchange, the funguses aid in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of theSouthChinaAgriculturalUniversityfound that this also allowed for plants to warn one another of potential harm. The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on one another for upcoming danger.Like our Internet, this fungal connectivity is also full of crime. Some plants, such as Golden Marigolds have been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for water and light. Other plants, such as the Phantom Orchid, do not have the chlorophyll (叶绿素) and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrientsthrough the network, allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on; however, this has not been conclusively made clear in experimentation. The more we learn about this phenomenon, the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change. Perhaps one day, we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.8. What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To explain the aim of the web.B. To introduce the main topic.C. To give definition of diverse life.D. To show the importance of plants.9. The criminal behavior of plants can be seen as a way to________.A. compete for survivalB. gather more waterC. take in sunlightD. break natural rules10. What does the last paragraph suggest?A. Animals can also feed on the fungus.B. Nutrient exchanges are too slight to detect.C. No experiment can prove the phenomenon.D. More needs to be done to work out the network.11. Which can be the best title for the text?A. The Partnership between PlantsB. The Unknown Roots of the EarthC. The Superhighway Linking the PlantsD. The Mysterious Map Changing the WorldDBertha 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. WhenAlfred 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.12. 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.13. 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.14. 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.15. 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.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。

高考英语一模试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe following 4 famous paintings-from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece-have stood the test of time．The Amolfini PortraitJan van Eyck's Amolfini Portrait，an oil painting on wood produced in 1434，in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her，is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery，London．This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed．It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society，through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business，wives concerned themselves with domestic duties．The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night，oil on canvas （帆布），a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village，during his12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint - Remy - de - Provence，France between 1889 and 1890．When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941，it was not well known，but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works．The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565．It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September．Nicolaes Jonghelinck，a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp，commissioned this painting．The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919．GuernicaGuernica，a large black-and-white oil painting，was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter，Pablo Picasso in 1937．The title 'Guernica' refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War．The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result，has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war．Today，the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid．1.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest？______A. Guernica．B. The Harvesters．C. The Starry Night．D. The Amolfini Portrait．2.Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons？______A. Pieter Bruegelthe Elder．B. Vincent van Gogh．C. Jan van Eyck．D. Pablo Picasso．3.What do we know about the painting The Starry Night？______A. It was painted on wood in oils．B. It described the painter's life in hospital．C. It wasn't widely recognized before 1941．D. It was given away to the museum by a collector．BAdventure-seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot．When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight，she became so fearful of crutches （拐杖）that she didn't move for three weeks．"I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself．So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day，" says Emma．She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run-a quarterly event that she hasn't missed since 2014．"If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year，one in each season，you get Alpha Wolf status，" explains Emma．"This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I'd lose my status．" So she was willing to try anything to get through the course-even with her injured ankle．"I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel，and he persuaded me to give it a go．Having something to aim for really kept me going．" Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2．0，which is a medically-approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg，allowing users to walk freely．I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery．I could move around the house and start getting out and about again，which had a real impact on my mental well-being．"On the day of the race，Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated．Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up her 23 rd Wolf Run in five years．" It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going，" says Emma．4.Why was Emma frightened to use a crutch______A. She was afraid of recovering slowly．B. She was warned not to move around．C. She just had an operation on her foot．D. She often got injured when using one．5.What does the underlined word "gutted" mean in Paragraph 2______A. Extremely sad．B. A bit relieved．C. Very surprised．D. Pretty cheerful．6.What actually made Emma take part in the race？______A. Her new hi-tech artificial leg．B. Her fear of letting her friend down．C. Her strong desire to achieve her ambition．D. Her complete recovery from the operation．7.Which of the following best describes Emma？______A. Strong-willed．B. Supportive．C. Creative．D. Humorous．CErik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr．Paul Gauthier，a plant physiologist specializing in vertical farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming．Humans have 12，000 years of experience growing food，but only a generation or so worth of experience growing crops indoors．We are still progressing up the technology learning curve （学习曲线）．What's more，traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming．Therefore，without taking time to understand the science，vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises．The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome．Dr．Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as " pie-in-the-sky" businesses．He famously calculates，for instance，that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high．Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis （光合作用），so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light．Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high，vertical farming does create high efficiencies in other areas．Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again．Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary．It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society．The future is probably mixed．In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer．An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland．In other geographies，though，the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability．A large vertical fanning and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine - year life．8.What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2______A. It will replace traditional farming one day．B. It relies on research of more basic science．C. It can be applicable on different conditions．D. It actually came into being 12，000 years ago．9.What does Dr．Albright think of vertical farms？______A. They use less light than traditional ones．B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed．C. They can overcome many problems in farming．D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer．10.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about______A. The ways of reducing costs of vertical fanning．B. The secrets of developing vertical farming．C. The recent trend of vertical farming．D. The benefits of vertical farming．11.Why is the example of "an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia" mentioned______A. To show vertical fanning can work well in some places．B. To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia．C. To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high．D. To argue vegetables do not need to be imported any longer．DResearchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth，but it's not Atlantis．They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology，which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran．The continent is called Greater Adria．It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa，only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago．And chances are you've been there without even knowing it．"Forget Atlantis，said Douwe，study author and professor at Utrecht University．" Without realizing it，vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria．" This area is called Adria by geologists，so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent asGreater Adria．Most of Greater Adria was underwater，covered by shallow seas，coral reefs and sediments （沉淀物）．The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas：the Alps，the Apennines，the Balkans，Greece and Turkey．The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago．This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found．In January 2017，researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana，which began breaking apart 200 million years ago．The leftover piece，which was covered in lava （岩浆），is now under Mauritius，an island in the Indian Ocean．And in September 2017，a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific．It's two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea．Greater Adria isn't the first lost continent to be found．But if research in past years shows anything，it likely won't be the last discovery．12.How did the researchers find Greater Adria？______A. They found it accidentally．B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis．C. They discovered it after years of seaching．D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges．13.What do we know about Greater Adria？______A. It is hidden under the sea level．B. It is much smaller than Greenland．C. It has existed for about 240 million years．D. It has been known to many tourists before．14.Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4？______A. To describe how the researchers explored continents．B. To show some other lost continents have been found．C. To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria．D. To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried．15.What is the best title for the text？______A. Atlantis Discovered FinallyB. Undersea World ExploredC. A Hidden Mountain UndiscoveredD. A Lost Continent Found Under Europe二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Easy Ways to Give Yourself a Fresh Start It doesn't need to be complicated or challenging to turn a fresh page on each new day．Whenever we mark a new year-by turning the calendar，returning to school or celebrating a holiday-we are looking for a fresh start．(1) But how？Here are some easy ways to connect with that feeling of starting fresh，whether it's a new year or simply a new day in our life．(2) This means you have realized what serves your life now and what can stay in your past．Or invest in a new pen and a new notebook．Having fresh supplies can stimulate even the common task of creating your to-do list．Moreover，you can learn something new by opening a book you've been expecting to read，searching a question that's been on your mind，enrolling in a class that motivates your interest．Of course you can simply ask a friend for a fresh idea about an issue．(3)Take a break from technology-for an hour，a day，or a week．(4) You should be able to put some space between yourself and digital routines．One reason we sometimes struggle to start fresh is that you get stuck reflecting on worrisomethoughts about the past，the future or even the present．(5) Allow these thoughts into your day only at a brief （30 minutes or less），specific time．The rest of the time，focus on what you are doing that*s new and positive．How do you give yourself that " fresh start" feeling？A．Electronic Products might not be serving you best．B．Newness or the freshness can guide us on a positive path．C．Limit your daily " worry time" and make an appointment with yourself．D．All of us enjoy newness，but what is it that leads to a sense of freshness？E．Realizing your past mistakes，you should move forward with enthusiasm．F．Increasing your knowledge on any topic means taking your mind into a fresh area．G．First，even letting go of a single box or bag of items can give you a refreshing sense．16.

more，traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming．Therefore，without takingtime to understand the science，vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises．传统的耕作技术是建立在不适用于垂直耕作的条件之上的，因此，如果不花时间去理解科学，垂直耕作就不可能实现其隐含的承诺．可知，垂直耕作的实现要依赖更多的科学研究，结合选项，故选B．2．B．细节理解题．根据文章第三段，He famously calculates，for instance，that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high．Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis （光合作用），so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light．例如，他有一个著名的计算，如果在室内种植，一条面包的成本将是24美元，成本太高．Gauthier承认能源价格很高，但他指出，科学研究表明，只有约6%的可用阳光用于作物光合作用，因此可能有办法在较少的光线下种植相同的植物．可知，Dr．Albright 认为垂直耕作成功的可能性不是很大，结合选项，故选B．3．D．段落大意题．根据文章第四段，Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high，vertical farming does create high efficiencies in other areas．Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again．Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary．It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society．Gauthier还指出，虽然能源成本有点高，但垂直耕作确实在其他地区创造了高效率．由于相同的水可以一次又一次地循环利用，因此用水可能会大大减少．化肥的使用可能会大大减少，杀虫剂也不必用于害虫防治．很明显，垂直耕作农业为社会提供了真正的价值．可知，第四段讲述了垂直耕作的益处，结合选项，故选D．4．A．推理判断题．根据文章最后一段，The future is probably mixed．In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer．An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland．未来可能是喜忧参半的．在某些环境中，例如中东，转向垂直农业是不需要考虑的．例如，沙特阿拉伯的一个室内农场可以使用太阳能以低成本为LED供电，而不会遮住其他农田．可知，提到沙提阿拉伯的例子是为了证明，垂直农业在某些地方是可以很好的运作的，结合选项，故选A．本文章主要讲述了垂直耕作的必要条件，并说明了其特点和益处．阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．12.【答案】【小题1】A
