2020年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(山东模拟卷三)英语试题第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分,满分37. 5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

ATWO NEWS REPORTSNEWS REPORT 1Even before 5G is widely commercially available, Ch inese telecom giant Huawei has reportedly begun researching the next generation of wireless technology—6G.Tech website “iPhone in Canada^ reported that Huawei has confirmed to local media “The Logic(逻辑学;逻辑性)"that it has started researching 6G technology at its lab in Ottawa, Canada and “ is in talks with Canadian university researchers about working on development of the next-generation wireless system," citing a report by The Logic.Song Zhang, vice-president of research strategy and partnership of Huawei in Canada, said “5G is very new, and looking at 6G is part of the so-called 5G evolution.”Huawei has not commented on the report, according to The Paper.NEWS REPORT 2A Japanese startup called SkyDrive Inc. has begun conducting test flights of their prototype flying car with a human pilot.The company hopes to be able to make a full public demonstration(演示;展示)of the vehicle later this summer.The test flights are being conducted at a protected indoor facility at the company’s research flight center outside of Nagoya.There have been a number of previous test flights, but they were all conducted via remote control and no human pilot on-board.According to a report in The Asahi Shimbun, SkyDrive says the car could be ready for a limited retail release as early as 2023, and mass production by 2026.SkyDrive was founded by former engineers from Toyota and they intend their vehicle to be the world's smallest flying car.In 2017, Toyota gave the company an infusion(灌输)of around $ 350,000 to help develop flying vehicles.The company said it won't say more about how the test flights have been proceeding(行动;进行)so far, but says things are going well enough to continue making them.1.What we can learn from NEWS REPORT 1?A.Huawei and Apple cooperate to develop 6G technology.B.Huawei is the first company to study 6G technology.C.Huawei’s research team studies 6G technology in Canadian laboratories.D.Huawei is not optimistic about the prospects of 6G.2.Which of the following is NOT true about NEWS REPORT 2?A.The company hopes to have an opportunity to make a full public demonstration of the vehicle.B.Previous flight tests were controlled by remote control.C.The car may not be able to mass produce in the near future.D.The car was completely invented and produced by Toyota.3.Which news section are we likely to see these two news reports?A. Entertainment.B. Science and Technology.C. Story.D. History.BA team of farmers, university researchers and environmentalists is busy at work in the wetlands of eastern England. They are digging into the area’s wheat fields, looking for wet earth that could hide lost ponds underneath. It takes the group of diggers just a few hours to revive(使复活)one dying pond. It's near Hindolveston, a thousand-year-old village close to the North Sea.“As soon as the buried ponds get water and light, they just spring to life," says Nick Anema, a farmer in nearby Dereham. He's brought seven ponds on his farm back to life. “Frogs and all the insects like dragonflies can be seen here again,” he said.But the battle for the wetlands is a struggle. While efforts to stop losses are continuing, wetlands around the world are still being filled in and covered up. Over the past three centuries,almost 90% of the world's wetlands have disappeared. The loss rate has increased since the 1970s, with wetlands now disappearing three times faster than the world's forests.Some 5,000 wetland-dependent animal species could die out because of such losses. Wetland loss can also affect human beings. Wetlands act as natural storage areas for water. Losing those areas could lead to more severe flooding in many parts of the world. And the act of removing water from wetlands can release huge amounts of carbon dioxide, a major contributor to climate change.Human-made wetlands, however, aren't decreasing in number. Rice fields, water reservoirs and agricultural stock, ponds have all increased since the 1970s. Yet scientists are concerned about this phenomenon. “People brag(自夸)about the fact that there's been no net loss(净损失)of wetlands. But what they've done is destroy natural wetlands and create artificial ones," says Stuart Pimm, a Duke University professor. “It makes it look like you’re doing no harm when the reality is very different. ”4.What's the team’s work in eastern England intended for?A.Digging wet earth for research.B.Researching into an old village.C.Bringing dying ponds back to life.D.Finding wetlands created by people.5.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A.Various functions of wetlands.B.Serious consequences of wetland loss.C.Wetlands' key role in climate change.D.Wetlands' importance to living things.6.Which of the following reflects Stuart Pimm's opinion?A.Artificial wetlands can't replace natural ones.B.Creating artificial wetlands upsets the balance of nature.C.Keeping the total number of various kinds of wetlands is important.D.It's important to balance the numbers of natural wetlands and artificial ones.7.What can be the best title for the text?A.Seeking for More WetlandsB.Saving the World's WetlandsC.Causes of Wetlands' DisappearanceD.Natural Wetlands vs. Artificial WetlandsCAs the novel coronavirus epidemic continues, one school after another has organized online classes. The most common form is live streaming, in which all participants, teacher and students alike, sit in front of a computer camera and see each other via the platform.Many teachers and students simply wear casual clothing for the class, and jokes emerge about each other's appearance. After all, most of the time it is the teacher appearing on screen, and the students, even if called on by the teacher, will only show their faces.Yet Shijiazhuang No. 1 Middle School in Hebei province recently triggered heated discussion by requiring teachers to wear formal suits and students to wear uniforms while attending online classes.By Saturday morning, the related topic has become one of the hottest topics on Sina Weibo, with 180 million views.“The practice can improve students' sense of formality in the online classes and make them more attentive, said Yao Haibo ," a head teacher of the school in a video clip. “It can also grant students a sense of honor and make them remember their identities as students. ”However, in the comment sections, some micro bloggers claiming to be students disagreed.“Not useful. Whether one works hard or not is not decided by a uniform," was the most highly voted comment, with 31,000 “likes"."Maybe a good move, but unnecessary," was another highly voted comment.Whatever the argument is, the problem might be solved in the not — so — distant future. According to official data, the number of newly confirmed diagnosed cases was 397 on Saturday.The students and teachers might, hopefully, see each other in classrooms soon.8. We can infer from the passage that .A.online classes are popular in schoolsB.teachers have classes online as the novel coronavirus epidemic continuesC.teachers and students can see each other via the platformD.teachers mostly appear on screen while students not9.Requiring students to wear uniforms while attending online classes is not because in Shijiazhuang No. 1 Middle School.A.jokes emerge about teachers and students' appearanceB.it can improve students' sense of formalityC.it can protect students from the novel coronavirusesD.it can make students remember their identities as students10. Official online classes in schools may soon because the number of newly confirmed diagnosed cases is dropping.A. continueB. stopC. disappearD. be forbidden11.What’s the writer's attitude towards wearing uniforms while attending online classes?A. Negative.B. Optimistic.C. Supportive.D. Objective.D“If you don't behave, I'll call the police" is a lie that parents generally use to get their young children to behave. Parents! lies work in the short term, but a new study led by NTU Singapore suggests that they're associated with harmful effects when the child becomes an adult.The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents now, and how well they adjust to adulthood challenges. Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report deceiving their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges.Lead author Assistant Professor Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore's School of Social Sciences said, "Parenting by lying can seem to save time especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something is complicated to explain. When parents tell children that "honesty is the best policy', but display dishonesty by lying, such behaviour can send conflicting messages to their children. Parents' dishonesty may eventually break trust and promote dishonesty in children. Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has bad consequences for children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of this and consider alternatives to lying, such as acknowledging children's feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and problem-solving together, to help children develop good behaviour.”The analysis found that parenting by lying could place children at a greater risk of developing problems that the society disapproves, such as aggression and rule-breaking behaviour. Some limitations of the study include relying on what young adults report about their past experience of parents! lying. “Future research can explore using more information providers, such as parents, to report on the same topic," suggested Asst Prof Setoh.12.Why is a parental lie mentioned in the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic for discussion.B.To tell a popular way to educate children.C.To prove the great influence of the police.D.To show the harmful effects of parental lies.13. The underlined word “deceiving" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.A.worryingB. abusingC. disappointingD. cheating14.According to the research, which of the following can parents do?A.Give children chances to choose.B.Force good behaviour on children.C.Let children solve problems alone.D.Stop children knowing what to expect.15.What does the last paragraph imply about the study?A. It is quite controversial.B. It is rather meaningless.C. It needs to be perfected.D. It demands honest responses.第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWith over 2.4 million visitors every year, Cinque Terre is one of the most-visited regions in Italy. Cinque Terreis truly special. The five candy-colored fishing villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Comiglia, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare are built into cliffs over the clean and brightly-shining Ligurian Sea. Whether you’re visiting the region for a few days or a few weeks, these are the experiences you should add to your trip pleasure.★Take a scenic hike.It’s easy to visit each of the attractive villages on foot. The most popular hike is the coastal path Sentiero Azzuro.It links all five villages and offers extremely beautiful scenery of the sea, architecture and vineyards(葡萄园). It takes about six hours to go across, with short breaks, but most people are going to stop in the villages for food and swimming.★Eat seafood in a cone(锥形).Dessert lovers might think that Italian ice-cream is the best thing to be served in a cone but make room for seafood cones as well. Thanks to its coastal location, Cinque Terre is full of seafood restaurants.★Get on a boat.If the weather cooperates, take the time to get out on the water. The villages look very beautiful from a boat. The cheapest and easiest way is to jump on the public ferry from one of the villages to the next, but these boats are often crowded. It’s far more relaxing to take a private cruise, which departs from the docks in Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare.★Take the train.Cinque Terre’s train system is one of the most scenic in Europe. The high-speed train runs through each of thefive villages every 20 minutes or so. And the whole line is directly on the coast, offering lovely views of the Ligurian Sea and rocky cliffs.1. What is special about the five candy-colored fishing villages?A. Their special location.B. Their long history.C. Their delicious foods.D. Their friendly villagers.2. What is the favorite food for the hikers in the five villages?A. Italian noodles.B. Italian ice-cream.C. Italian wines.D. Seafood cones.3. What is the best way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food?A. Taking a private ferry to the villages.B. Walking with short breaks on the coast.C. Taking a scenic hike along the coastal path.D. Taking the train running through the villages.BIt can be a real struggle trying to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children’s books printed in the target language.At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, but then I realized thateveryone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarize our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot.As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter of your chosen children’s book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story. Additionally, a lot of children’s books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.4. Why was the author advised to read children’s books?A. She was weak in reading great works.B. She was slow to learn language.C. She liked children’s literature.D. She couldn’t remember any words.5. What can be got from children’s books according to the passage?A. V ocabulary and listening skills.B. Learning methods.C. Words and structures.D. Designing skills.6. What surprised the author while reading children’s books?A. Grasping the context from the pictures.B. Looking up the definitions of words from a dictionary.C. Getting familiar with the plots of the story.D. Understanding the words simply from the context.7. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Reading Children’s BooksB. The Way of Learning LanguagesC. The Method of Using DictionaryD. My Good Reading HabitsCWith self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots forthe final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in SnohomishCounty, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.To accelerate Scout’s development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likelyrequires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all times-if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reachconsumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.8.What are many companies developing autonomous robots for?A. Final tests.B. The so-called last mile.C. Robots’ safety.D. Delivery speed.9.What can we infer about Scout from paragraph 2?A. It looks like a cooler.B. It adjusts its speed accordingly.C. Its sensors play a key role.D. It will be widely used soon.10.What does the underlined phrase "prior to" in paragraph 4 mean?A. beforeB. afterC. in front ofD. due to11.From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A newspaper.D. A travel brochure.DWood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable(耐用的), easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent(透明的).Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the material may even beable to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin (木质素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物) and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips,the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semi-transparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturersimprove their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.12. What does the underlined part "that feature" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Cheapness.B. Durability.C. Sustainability.D. Transparency.13. Which of the following is not the process in which the transparent wood is made?A. Dip the wood into a polymer.B. Reduce the amount of the polymer.C. Make the wood lignin-free.D. Bake the wood for some time.14. What’s the purpose of using the transparent wood in buildings?A. To protect privacy.B. To scale out applications.C. To get more natural light.D. To observe more clearly.15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The bright future of the transparent wood.B. The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C. The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D. Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. 1 got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4. What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.5. What is special about the garden?A. Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B. The grass grew faster than common grass.C. The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D. Underground water was used for the plants.6. What does the underlined word“that" refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.7. How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.CHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions - serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can. put their health at further risk," said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr, M.D., in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type oftraumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA'S new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8. Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A. To raise safety standards of sports.B. To protect athletes from concussions.C. To set rules for health care evaluation.D. To help players return to the game quickly.9. What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A. Avoid using the head.B. Leave the field forever.C. Get treatment in time.D. Switch to another sport.10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What a concussion is.B. What causes damage to brain cells.C. How the CDC works.D. How a concussion can be prevented.11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Rules for Safer PlayB. Sports Injuries in the USC. Advice to AthletesD. New Policies for DoctorsDOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria (病毒), such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12. What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A. Price.B. Safety.C. Freshness.D. Variety.13. What is the doctors' suggestion?A. Grow your own food.B. Reduce the use of pesticides.C. Make sure the food is clean.D. Buy large companies' products.14. Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A. It tastes better.B. It is easier to grow.C. It contains more fat.D. It is more nutritious.15. Where does this text probably come from?A. A recipe book.B. A chemistry paper.C. A medical report.D. A health magazine.第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But the concept itself isn’t new at all —in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth’s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier’s ideas spread, it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Ar rhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.While Arrhenius’ findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect —still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.4. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The climate change.B. The greenhouse effect.C. The atmosphere.D. The heat from the sun.5. When did the scientists first find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.D. 200 years ago.6. What’s the author’s attitude towards Arrhenius’ wish?A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Ambiguous.7. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Causes of climate change.B. Effects of greenhouse gases.C. Findings about global warming.D. Explorations on climate change.CIt’s com mon knowledge that the woman in Leona rdo da Vinci’s most famouspainting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matterwhere they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that’s15.4 degrees off to the observer’s right—well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you.” This is somewha t ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect” . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars(虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him.To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.So why do people repeat the belief tha t her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just tho ught it was a cool name.8. What is generally believed about the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”?A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.9.What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?A. B.C. D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A. To confirm Horstmann’s belief.B. To create artificial-intelligence avatars.C. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze.D. To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.11.What can we learn from the text?A. Horstmann thinks it’s cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the r uler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgment.DSparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing fo r an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers’ spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrowfocused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.12. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A. The number of its customers was declining.B. Its customers found the food unhealthy.C. It was in need of financial support.D. Most of its restaurants were closed.13. For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A. To build a good relationship with the public.B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C. To learn about customers’ spending power.D. To meet the challen ge from Marcy’s restaurants.14. What do know about the TV ads of Sparrow?A. They changed people’s views on pop stars.B. They amused the public with original songs.C. They focused on the superiority of its products.D. They influenced the eating habits of the audience.15. What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?A. He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.B. He made Sparrow much more competitive.C. He helped Sparrow take over a company.D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It has ail extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.For the last few years, Norway has registered the highest quality 6f life among the worlds nations. It is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Norwegians can also expect to get a good education, the job they wan! — unemployment is only 4 percent according to recent data updated in January,2019 — enjoy good health and live a long life. Its achievement today is completely unexpected for many people, especially senior citizens there. Just 80 years ago Norwegians were moving to the USA in their thousands in search of a better life. The rise in oil prices in the 1970s changed all that. On a per-capita(人均的) basis, Norway is the world’s largest producer of oil outside of the Middle East.When you arrive in Oslo, the capital of Norway, for the first don't expect to be met byDubai-style skyscrapers, and rows of Ferraris and Porsches. In 2018, Norway became one of the few countries where over 5 in every 100 passenger cars on the roads is a plug-in electric one. Norwegians also work hard and are always near the top in research on global worker productivity rates. Bui in today’s high-tech world where work seems to follow us wherever we go, the people of Norway are redefining(重新定义)what wealth means. Laws just recently passed by the government attach great importance to family and time off.Also, the country is saving for the future. Every dollar earned from oil is put straight into its pensions ——worth billions of dollars. At a time when most other western countries are wondering how they will finance the pensions of a growing retired population, Norway is sitting pretty.1.Where is the Skagerrak strait?A.Near the Barents Sea.B.On the east of Finland.C.Near the north of Norway.D.On the north of Denmark.2.What leads to Norway’s succe ss?A.Its huge reserve of oil.B.Its low unemployment rate.C.Its quality education.D.Its pleasant natural environment.3.What can be inferred about Norway from paragraph 3?A.Norwegians are seeking modern life.B.It is modest about its wealth.C.It puts much focus on the traffic.D.Norwegians try to keep away from high technology.4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph convey?A.Norway’s future should be considered.B.Norway wouldn’t like to make changes.C.Norway has accumulated enough pensions.D.Norway's retired population is decreasing.CThere are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake to in the morning. For me, it's the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Just a sniff of it makes me jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen for a gulp of the hot black liquid.If you're a big fan of coffee, you'll understand that opening a new packet of coffee releases an amazing smell-fresh, roasted coffee beans. And you'll be able to identify the beans' origin-Colombia, Vietnam or Brazil. Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner; he believes the smell is absolutely vital. "When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you're getting physiological responses."I know from experience when I walk into a cafe, my mouth begins to water and it's the smell that makes me feel good. However, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment. This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. Yes, it's convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it?You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past yourtongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose. As well as eliminating the smell, takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste and the vast majority of them still don't get recycled. So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup in a cafe, chatting with friends and saving the planet!1.In which aspect does the author agree with Tim Hayward?A.People drink coffee first thing in the morning.B.Coffee beans' origin makes all the difference.C.Some people are addicted to drinking coffee.D.It's the smell of coffee that really matters.2.What does the author complain about?A.The process of making coffee.B.The high temperature of coffee.C.The design of the paper coffee cup.D.The inconvenience of buying coffee.3.Which can replace the word "eliminating" underlined in Paragraph 4?A.Creating.B.Removing.C.Increasing.D.Changing.4.What can be the best title of the text?A.Wake up and smell the coffeeB.Try to be a real lover of coffeeC.Drink coffee to save the planetD.Choose takeaway coffee for convenienceDOn average, Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices(设备) and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. That is a claim made by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk, Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and look at social media puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains, is important for critical(有判断力的) thinking, problem-solving and decision-making.So, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in nature, Strayer claims, helps get a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15, 000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September. That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore, swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.Take Carl for example. He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping. He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband arid two children. She calls it a "regenerative” experience.At the University of Utah, David Strayer has studied both shortterm and long-term exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better.

2020届新高考英语模拟卷(山东卷)(含答案解析)第二卷一、阅读理解A1. How much is Mathematical Induction now?A. About $ 16.93.B. About $ 64. 63.C. About S 67. 70.D. About $ 84.63.2. What do we know about the book written by Larry Cuban?A. It focuses on technological reform in education.B. It aims to improve pre-school education.C. It helps with students’mathematical ability.D. It is based on various academic studies.3. Which book is the most culture-specific?A. Mathematical Induction.B. The Flight of a Butterfly or the Path of a Bullet?.C. The Fight for America's Schools.D. The White Chalk of Days.BI moved to the United States as a teenager.The adjustment to a new place was difficult.But there was major stress in my life at that time :I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, there was another universal language I loved to learn as a child:art.Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school, I mostly dismissed art as a path to a career. Since my dad always said "Think about the future", I did not think he would support the study of art once I went to college. But, to my surprise, it was my parents who suggested just that and urged me to apply to technical and liberal arts schools.I was admitted into industrial design. It’s basically to design products and services. I could be doing something more technical or something more related to problem-solving. It was no easy task to do the course including metalworking, woodworking and model making. In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month, which led me to a question:"Wow! Do I really want to do this? "But I finally survived the course.Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design, a famous architecture and interior design company. I have experience in exhibit design, product design and website design, apart from which I enjoy developing public art in my free time.Throughout my career,I’ve picked up different things along the way. The best way to learn in my opinion is through working, therefore, get as many projects as you can. Industrial design kind of makes you an all-round person.1. Wh at was the author’s biggest problem when first moving to America?A. The adaption to a new environment.B. Difficulty in learning a new language.C. Fathers disapproval of her studying art.D. The burden of being a communicator.2. What made the author choose to study art?A. Her deep love for art.B. The suggestion of her family.C. Her potential in design.D. The need of a good job.3. Why was the author’s experience of drawing cubes mentioned?A. To emphasize her effort at study.B. To express the regret at her choice.C. To prove the course was difficult.D. To show the basic content of the course.4. How did the author feel when she mentioned her career?A. Surprised.B. Stressed.C. Eager.D. Proud.CWhat are dreams for? A handful of theories have the most influence. Sigmund Freudfamously claimed that they reveal hidden truths and wishes. Despite being largely unsupported by evidence, researchers found that students in the U. S., Korea, and India were much more likely to accept the view. In the same study, respondents said that dreaming about a plane crash would cause them more anxiety than an official warning about a terrorist attack. More recent research suggests that they may help us process intense emotions, or perhaps sort through and strengthen memories, or rehearse responses to threatening situations.Even if dreams can't foretell the future, they seem to expose our shared fascinations. The majority of dreams occur during REM sleep cycles, of which the average person has four or five a night. A study of Canadian university students found the most common dream topics to be school, falling, being chased, and arriving too late for something.For all the commonalities dreams exhibit, they vary across time—people who grew up watching black-and-white TV are more likely to dream in black and white—and culture. A 1958 study determined that compared with Japanese people, Americans dreamed more about being looked up, losing a loved one, finding money. Japanese people were more likely to dream about school, trying repeatedly to do something, being paralyzed with fear, or "wild, violent beasts."If human dreams sound boring, bear in mind that even negative ones can have positive effects. In a study of students taking a French medical-school entrance exam, 60 percent of the dreamsthey had beforehand involved a problem with the exam, such as being late or leaving an answer blank. But those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn't.1.What do you know about Freud's view on dreaming?A.It will cause people more anxiety.B.It's already been proved by evidence.C.It's popular with some American and Asian students.D.It can reveal the hidden truth and predict the future.2. According to recent research, dreams may _______.A.make emotions intenseB.help prepare for special situationsC.reduce our memoriesD.help us take notes3. According to paragraphs 2 and 3, which of the following is true?A.The average person has four or five REM sleep cycles a night.B.Canadian students aren't worried about being late for school.C.Americans usually share the same dream topics with Japanese.D.Films about wild beasts may be widely shown in America in 1958.4. If you dream that you failed the exam, _______.A.your dream will come trueB.you'll be depressed with fearC.you are supposed to take it seriouslyD.it shows that you care a lot about the examDWhile many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being “tea people”. The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common typedrunk in the UK. Black tea is dark in color, because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (氧化)before drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk,although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon. You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers (茶托)for visitors.Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease. The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2002, and has been dropping ever since. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone, and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More than £ 1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013—more than twice what was spent on tea bags.Still, what goes around comes around; it’s sure to become fashionable again.1. What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?A. Tea made its way to England in the early years of the 16th century.B. The UK usually serves black tea with lemon.C. Tea from China was being sold more widely in England now.D. UK citizens take pride in being “tea people”.2. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone.B. Since 2002, the sales of tea has been on the decrease.C. In 2013, the money spent on tea was £3 billion.D. Most restaurants like selling tea better than coffee.3. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. It can never succeed again.B. The tea can become popular again.C. Coffee is more popular than tea.D. The tea is becoming less popular.4. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce tea in the UK.B. To show the authors preference for tea.C. To introduce the functions of tea.D. To compare tea in China and the UK.二、七选五根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe Breakfast ClubStarred by John Hughes,1985Five high school students with nothing in common are forced to spend an entire Saturday together in detention(拘留).At seven am.they had nothing to say,but by four pm,they had bared their souls to each other and became good friends—the Jock,the Brain,the Criminal,the Princess,and the Kook.They were finally able to talk about themselves while they were forced to stay together.Pretty in Pink.Starred by Howard Deutch,1986Pretty in Pink looks at the central dilemma of adolescence where one’s dreams are much larger than one’s confidence.Molly Ringwald plays Andie Walsh,a poor girl living with her father and working in a downtown record store.The school she attends is full of wealthy snobs(势利小人)and she likes a rich kid Blane.There is nothing new about the plot—rich boy and poor girl love each other and snobbery nearly destroys the romance.CluelessStarred by Amy Heckerling and Alicia Silverstone,1995Cher,played by Alicia Silverstone,is one of the most popular girls at Beverly Hills High School where rich kids hang out,talk to each other on cell phones and occasionally attend classes.At 15 going on 16,Cher has it all—a white Jeep,an extensive wardrobe with a computer to help select the perfect dress,and an unbelievable ability to charm,cajole and whine(哄骗和哭诉)until others obey her requests.The dialogue is wiry and entertaining.1.The Breakfast Club is about__________.A.a prince and a princess B.several criminalsC.several students D.some tourists2.we can conclude from Pretty in Pink that__________.A.the love between Molly and Blane aren’t going smoothlyB.Molly and Blane eventually get marriedC.Molly’s and Blane’a parents quite agree to their loveD.the love between Molly and Blane defeats snobbery3.Which of the following is starred by Howard Deutch?A.The Breakfast Club.B.Pretty in Pink.C.Clueless.D.Beverly Hill Schoo1.4.We can infer that the Breakfast Club,Pretty in Pink and Clueless are three_____.A.world-famous paintings about religionB.Disney’s cartoons about love storiesC.films about teenagersD.ancient Roman fairy talesBPeople back in the United States are always asking me,“What’s it like to live in China?”They hope to hear strange stories about weird food and cultural conflicts.Instead,I tell them that living in China is like being a baby.Please don’t misunderstand me.I don’t think that Chinese people are babies.I am a baby.Or at least,I become one when I leave my house.That’s because babies can’t read,and when I leave my house in Beijing,I'm illiterate(不识字的).This can be dangerous.If a sign says,“Watch out for big angry bears,”in Chinese,I will continue walking,completely ignorant of my peril(危险).Then a bear will eat me for breakfast.I have started to recognize a few characters,but they seem impossible to ever learn withouta lifetime of study.When I see a character I like.I give it a name.There is“The Square,”“The Octopus(章鱼),”“The-upside-down Octopus,”and my favorite,“Upside-down Octopus on an airplane.”However,I still don’t know their sounds or meanings.They are just beautiful mysteries to my eyes.Because I can’t read,city streets present an endless series of enigmas.If I see a business,I wonder,“Is that a restaurant? A dentist? A lawyer’s office?”Once,while hungry,I saw a big colorful sign.I walked in and asked a realtor(房屋中介)to see the drink menu.Speaking of menus,eating at restaurant is a daily misadventure.Many places have photos of food,which is helpful.But if they have no photos,I walk from table to table and point at whatever looks delicious.I apologize if I’ve ever interrupted your dinner to point at your plate.I didn’t mean to be rude.I was just a hungry baby !5.Why does the author think living in China is like being a baby?A.Some Chinese people behave like babies.B.It’s comfortable to be a baby in China.C.He is as curious as a baby about Chinese things.D.He is like a new-born who can’t read at a11.6.What do we know about the author?A.He can order food in simple Chinese.B.He doesn’t know many Chinese Characters.C.His spoken Chinese is better than his written Chinese.D.He memorizes Chinese words based on their sounds.7.In Paragraph5,what does the underlined word enigmas mean?A.Stories.B.Mirac1es.C.Choices. D.Puzzles.8.What is the passage mainly about?A.The author’s love for Chinese food.B.The language barrier the author meets in China.C.Cultural conflicts the author faces in China.D.How the author overcomes difficulties in learning Chinese.CMorgan Holmes had taken part in Boy Scouts of America activities for a few years,but she only became a full member recently.This was because the Boy Scouts began accepting girls from fifth grade to 12th grade into a new program called Scouts BSA.It brings girls the opportunities boys have,including becoming Eagle Scouts,the highest rank of the Boy Scouts.“I'm loving it,”Morgan,now 17,said.“I finally get to wear the uniform now.”Six middle school girls have joined Morgan in Troop48 in Scouts BSA.Some were members of Girls Scouts,and some have brothers in the Boy Scouts.Now brothers and sisters can take part in activities.Morgan knows Boy Scouts activities well.Starting when she was 14,Morgan went on high-adventure outings like hiking 1 00 miles and shooting guns.But she’d never been able to progress to become an Eagle Scout.Now Morgan’s goal is to reach the top rank of Eagle Scout.She regularly runs a mile to build up her body.Now,she’s planning on camping in the snow.“The journey to get there is really exciting,”she said.Since Boy Scout activities are led by the Scouts themselves,Morgan,as the oldest girl,will be organizing activities and teaching the girls to tie knots and other skills.One of those girls in Troop48 is Nicolette U1rich,who is also in the Girl Scouts.Her mother,Sasha Ulrich,said she sees,the Boy Scouts as more leadership oriented and the Girl Scouts as more culturally oriented.This will be shown by all upcoming gathering where girls will learn about different food and cultures from around the world.“Girl Scouts is a great group and she’11 continue to do that.”Sasha said.“But she also wanted the opportunities provided by the Boy Scouts.”9.What did Morgan want to do after becoming a full member of Boy Scouts?A.She wanted to join in the activities with her brother.B.She wanted to challenge herself to become,all Eagle Scout.C.She wanted to compete with boys in all activities.D.She wanted to hike long distances and shoot guns with boys.10.What is the best word to describe Morgan?A.Communicative B.Helpful C.Creative D.Adventurous 11.What does Sasha Ulrich think of Boy Scouts?A.It is more culturally oriented.B.It helps to build teamwork.C.It helps to improve leadership.D.It is more interesting than Girl Scouts.DOne step too farScientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years now,and it looks like they’ve finally cracked(破解)the code.But while this may seem like a great step forward in science,some also believe that it’s one step back when it comes to ethics.In August,a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo and remove a genetic mutation(突变)that would have led to heart disease,reported The Guardian.This was achieved with the help of CRISPR,a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to“cut and paste”human DNA.Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully,the benefits of gene editing have already been tested in living patients.In 2015,a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer.As of today,she’s alive and well.And in the US last year,scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies.Some people hope that in the future,diseases or birth detects could simply be “edited out”.However,others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies,giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence.“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest‘upgrades’for their children,leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,”Marcy Darnovsky,director of the SanFrancisco Center for Genetics,told BBC News.In spite of these ethical concerns,experts say it’s not possible to create the“perfect”human being.Despite the progress scientists have made,We don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn child great brainpower or amazing singing abilities.“Right now,we know nothing about genetic enhancement,”Hank Greely,a director of sciences at Stanford University,US,told The New York Times.“We’re never going to be able to say,honestly,‘This embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT.’”So it looks like if we want good exam results,or to impress people with our piano skills,we’11 have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work—at least for now.12.The underlined word“alter”in Paragraph 1 probably means________.A.record B.change C.remove D.increase13.Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards?A.They don’t think it is an effective way to light diseases.B.They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations.C.They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality.D.They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects.14.What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing?A.A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientistsB.A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells.C.HIV cells were removed from patients’bodies.D.Some birth defects were simply edited out.15.What can we conclude from the text?A.Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects.B.There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes.C.Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future.D.Scientists are pessimistic about the future of gene editing.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWhy go to Madrid?There may be a slight chill (寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15℃in March, but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundacion Mapfe at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance (文艺复兴) painter EI Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Pasco del Prado from 24 June to 5 October.How to go?The widest range of flights is offered by EasyJet—from Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton.

Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters(水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration(合作),and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie(大草原),we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result; the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. we knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4. What seemed to be the TV directors’ initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.5. What is special about the garden?A. Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B. The grass grew faster than common grass.C. The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D. Underground water was used for the plants.6. What does the underlined word "that" refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.7. How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.CHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions—serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at fur ther risk,” said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr., M.D, in a statement.The policy recommends. that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull(颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA's new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8. Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A. To raise safety standards of sports.B. To protect athletes from concussions.C. To set rules for health care evaluation.D. To help players return to the game quickly.9. What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A. Avoid using the head:B. Leave the field forever.C. Get treatment in time.D. Switch to another sport.10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What a concussion is. B: What causes damage to brain cells.C. How the CDC works. D: How a concussion can be prevented.11: Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Rules for Safer PlayB. Sports Injuries in the USC. Advice to AthletesD. New Policies for DoctorsDOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides(杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients(原料),such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Healthspecialists worry more about bacteria(病毒),such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.
