Born inNew Yorkin 1943, Gluck published her first volume of poetry, “Firstborn”, in 1968, quickly gaining her reputation as a poet. In the decades since, she has become one of the country's most celebrated literary figures. Her work uses the power of myth to deal with some of our darkest human concerns. Her straightforward language always gets at the heart of deep-seated anxieties: loneliness, rejection, death ...Stephanie Burt,an English professor atHarvardUniversity, said, “She's someone who's been able to make emotion states vivid on the page... Few poets have tried as hard as she has not to repeat herself. And her strongest books are really different from one another”. “She offers poetry lovers a lot of inspiration, but she's also on a lot of bookshelves," said Chiasson, a poet, who added she is a generous reader of her fellow writers’work.At Yale, where Gluck is a professor of English, she served for years as judge of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize and worked closely with poets she chose for the prize and those she did not, helping them shape their work. “In that very practical way she's had an enormous influence on a great many figures,” said Langdon Hammer, a professor of English at Yale. “She's someone who has been a 'guiding spirit’ for generations of students, writers, and readers.”Gluck described teaching and writing as symbiotic. “I teach not out of selflessness or generosity: I do it because it feeds me,” she said. “It feeds them, too, so it's a happy relationship. I'm sure not all my students feel that way, but some do. I never feel that it takes me from my work: I think it gives me my work.”4. Which of the following topics might Gluck tend to explore in her work?A. Victory.B. Divorce.C. Romance.D. Achievement.5. What quality does Gluck have according to the passage?A. Humorous and intelligent.B. Ambitious and helpful.C. Considerate and optimistic.D. Inspiring and creative.6. What does teaching mean to Gluck?A. A source of wealth.B. A barrier to writing.C. A fountain of creation.D. A stepping stone to fame.7. What is the best title for the text?A. A Guiding SpiritB. A Successful PioneerC. An Adventurous CreatorD. A Hardworking WriterCGray wolves have lived inNorth Americafor at least half a million years. Their living areas once included most of the continentalUnited States. But during the 1800s and early 1900s, wolves were hunted to near extinction(灭绝).By the 1960s, theU. S.wolf population was limited to a handful of creatures in small comers of the northernMidwest.Then, in 1973, a law, the ESA, was passed to protect animals from becoming extinct. Gray wolves were one of the first animals placed on the endangered-species(濒危物种)list. Killing them wasillicit. And theU. ernment worked to promote their protection. In a famous example of this effort, starting in 1995, 31 wolves were moved fromCanadatoYellowstoneNational Park. By 2015, more than 500 gray wolves were living in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem(生态系统).Today, the continentalU. S.is home to more than 6,000 gray wolves. On January 4, 2021, theU. ernment removed gray wolves from the endangered-species list.Usually, an animal's removal would be cause for celebration. But some environmental protectors say the wolves still need protection. In some parts of the country, wolves are increasing in numbers. More than a thousand of them can be found just inMichiganandWisconsin. But overall, their range is still a small part of what it was. Wolves used to live across most of the U. S. Now they , are found in fewer than a dozen states. Others argue that as long as a species is not in danger of extinction, it doesn't belong on the endangered-species list. And farmers with land near wolf living areas say that if the wolf's population continues to grow, more of their farm animals will be killed by wolves.But some protection groups worry that without protection, the wolf population will crash again. They hope that no matter what, people and wolves can get along peacefully with each other. They are promoting ways to make that happen.8. What caused gray wolves to be almost extinct?A. Losing their living areas.B. Too many natural enemies.C. The extreme climate changes.D. Being hunted in great numbers.9. What does the underlined word "illicit" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Rather difficult.B. Against the law.C. Totally normal.D. Conditionally allowable.10. Why was the gray wolf removed from the endangered-species list?A. They have a much larger population already.B. They have all been put into the safe natural parks.C. They have been feeding on farmers, farm animals.D. They have grown too strong to be protected by humans.11. What do farmers living near gray wolves' living areas think of the animals?A. The wolves are trouble for them.B. The wolves must be better protected.C. The wolves get along peacefully with them.D. The wolves should live where they belong.DIt is universally acknowledged that renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower are all much better for the climate than fossil fuels.It is true for wind and solar. However, the picture for hydropower is more complicated than we think.A new study by the Environmental Defense Fund analyzed the climate impacts of 1,500 hydropower facilities across the globe. That accounts for about half of hydropower generation worldwide. The researchers looked at whether the facilities behave as a greenhouse gas sink or as a source. To figure this out, they looked into all the different components that help determine a hydropower facility's greenhouse gasemissions (排放).“There are so many contributors to greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower — but essentially, the majority of greenhouse gas emissions arise from the reservoir (水库) itself, as vegetation and soils are submerged underwater in the dam thatis used for the hydropower generation.” said lissa Ocko, a senior climate scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund and co-author of the study. As the submerged vegetation breaks down, it releases greenhouse gases such as CO2.“The larger the surface area of the reservoir, the more greenhouse gases are going to be given out from that reservoir. Also, the temperature plays a role as well how warm the reservoir is will affect how much greenhouse gases are produced and given out from the reservoir.” added Ocko.Through their analysis, Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg, also with the Environmental Defense Fund, discovered that the climate impacts of hydropower cover a complete range. The good news is that some facilities perform just as well as wind and solar. But shockingly, more than 100 facilities are actually worse for the climatethan fossil fuels. The study is in the journalEnvironmentalScience and Technology.This finding doesn't mean we should forget about hydropower. “But we just need to be careful to make sure that we have climate benefits. There are a lot of situations where hydropower can be equal to wind and solar. So it really depends on the specific facility." said Ocko.12. How do scientists prove hydropower facilities' effect on the climate?A. By making comparisons.B. By conducting experiments.C. By referring to previous studies.D. By analyzing causes and effects.13. What are the main sources of greenhouse gases from hydropower?A. Vegetation and soils.B. Heat and sunlight.C. Pollutants in the reservoir.D. Components of the generators.14. What have Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg found?A The surface area of a reservoir decides the climate.B. Hydropower often influences the climate in all aspects.C. Some facilities perform much better than wind and solar.D. Fossil fuels are worse for the climate than over 100 facilities.15. What is the text mainly about?A. Scientists urge an end to hydropower.B. Hydropower is not necessarily green.C. Hydropower is worse than fossil fuels.D. Renewable energy is a complicated issue.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届北京市第四中学高三英语二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AElectric Shocks Can Be FatalGovernment statistics recently showed that in theUK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their homes. A smaller number of people are killed after they touch the power lines outside their homes. Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breath to stop and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic techniques to deal with such emergencies.What to do?● If you are the first person to reach someone who has an electric shock, don't touch him or her!● If the victim is still holding the appliance that gives him or her the shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source.Under no circumstances can you try to move the appliance with your hands!● Ifyou can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.● The victim must remain lying down. If he or she isunconscious, the victim should be placed on his or her side. But he or she should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is ly necessary.● It is essential to maintain the victim's body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸). Keep the victim's head low until professional help arrives.● If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.1. What kind of passage is it?A. An advertisement.B. A horror story.C. A news report.D. First aid emergency advice.2. The underlined sentence implies that ________.A. you should move the applianceB. you should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricityC. it is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your handsD. it is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands3. When a person has got an electric shock, you should ________.A. separate the victim from the appliance and let him sit upB. keep the victim warm and help him or her breathe againC. move the victim onto his or her side if he or she has got neck injuriesD. keep the victim's head high until professional help arrivesBWhen I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices (装置) tell the time — which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007. This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions — but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planesacross the world.Watches are now classified as “investments” (投资). A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly £ 350,000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from £ 15,000 to £ 30,000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that £ 350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times.4. The author don’t need another watch because ________.A. he don’t like wearing a watchB. he has mobile phone and can ask someone for helpC. he has no sense of timeD. he thinks watches too expensive5. It seems ridiculous to the writer that________.A. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sellB. expensive clothes sell better than cheap onesC. cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive onesD. people dive 300 metres into the sea6. What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?A. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.B. It’s hard for the industry to beat its competitors.C. It targets rich people as its potential customers.D. It’s easy for theindustry to reinvent cheap watches.7. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Timex or Rolex?B. My Childhood TimexC. Watches? Not for Me!D. Watches----a Valuable CollectionCThis is a true story. Tristin Saghin enjoyed themovie “Black Hawk Down” very much, which is about the conflict inSomalia. The battle scenes and the exciting rescues of people who are dying interested him greatly.There was just one problem: Tristin was only 9 years old, and it was thought that movie was not for children. When his parents caught him watching it on TV, they made him turn it off, though he had finished his homework and it was not late. Then one day, Tristin and his family were visiting his grandmother inMesa,Arizona. Tristin’s 2-year-old sister got out of the house and fell in the backyard pool. Realizing the little girl was missing, the family ran outside, only to find the girl had fallen into the water.Pulled from the pool and placed on the ground, the child wasn’t breathing. The family called the ambulance, but no one knew how to do first aid. No one, that is, except for Tristin. A scene in “Black Hawk Down” describes a doctor giving first aid. Tristin remembered it. Then the 9-year-old gave first aid to his sister at once and saved her life.His parents don’t stop him seeing the movies he likes any more.Tristin taught himself how to do first aid but he had never thought he could use it to save his little sister’s life. Any skill can be used in time, so you should always learn.8. According to the text, Tristin Saghin ________.A. lived inMesa,ArizonaB. disliked studying very muchC. was always ready to help othersD. was nine years old9. Why did Tristin Saghin’s parents order him to turn off the TV?A. They wanted him to help look after his sister.B. He often spent too much time watching films.C. They thought the film was not good for children.D. He was asked to finish his homework first.10. How was Tristin’s sister saved?A. Tristin gave first aid to her.B. The ambulance arrived in time.C. A doctor passing by gave a hand.D. Her parents sent her to hospital at once.11. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to advise readers to ________.A. see more moviesB. learn more skillsC. save others bravelyD. do what they likeDA PhD student inMichigandefended her paper while wearing a skirt madeof rejection letters she received while studying. 29-year-old Caitlin Kirby printed out 17 of her rejection letters — from scholarships, academic journals, and conferences — then folded each one into a fan. She connected them in rows, and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of reminded me that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said. "A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth and environmental science atMichiganStateUniversity, also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for students to get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling of rejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academic journal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things: Since her doctorate, she's won ascholarship to do further research on urban agriculture inGermany.Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As for what the future holds? "I'm prepared to receive a few more rejection letters along the way," she joked heartily, "Maybe I'll make a longer skirt."12. What can we learn about Caitlin Kirby's rejection letters?A. She received 17 rejections in total.B. 29 of her rejections were from journals.C. The rejections were connected into a fan.D. She made some rejection letters into a skirt.13. What is Julie Libarkin's attitude towards Caitlin's action?A. Favorable.B. Ambiguous.C. Skeptical.D. Opposed.14. Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?A. Creative and considerate.B. Caring and determined.C. Optimistic and humorous.D. Generous and intelligent.15. Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?A. Hard work pays off.B. Education is the entrance to success.C. Self-respect earns more respect.D. One needs to normalize failures.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。

He had stayed to protect what was left of his home，and never gave up on his people!" Sullivan wrote in the comment on her Facebook post．"I'm so happy I'm crying as I write this! He didn't give up through the storms or the fire!" she added．Soon afterward，Madison was reunited with Miguel for the first time since the fire broke out ．An emotional Gaylord said in an interview with the network that she was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her．She also expressed how grateful she was to Sullivan．Gaylord said fighting through tears，"You could never ask for better animals．He is the best dog．"4.What did Madison do during the Camp Fire？______A.

Wisdom．CChoosing to forget something might take more mental effort than trying to remember it，researchers at The University of Texas at Austin discovered through neuroimaging （神经成像）．These findings，published in the Journal of Neuroscience，suggest that in order to forget an unwanted experience，more attention should be focused on it．This surprising result continues previous research on intentional forgetting，which focused on reducing attention tothe unwanted information through redirecting attention away from unwanted experiences or holding back the memory's retrievals （恢复）．"We may want to get rid of memories that cause nonadaptive responses，such as upsetting memories，so that we can respond to new experiences in more adaptive ways，" said Jarrod Lewis-Peacock，the study's senior author and an assistant professor of psychology at UT Austin．"Decades of research has shown that we have the ability to voluntarily forget something，but how our brains do that is still being questioned．Once we can figure out how memories are weakened and design ways to control this，we can design treatment to help people rid themselves of unwanted memories．"Using neuroimaging to track patterns of brain activity，the researchers showed a group of healthy adults images of scenes and faces，instructing them to either remember or forget each image．Their findings not only confirmed that humans have the ability to control what they forget，but that successful intentional forgetting required "moderate （适中的）levels" of brain activity in these sensory and perceptual areas （感官区域）-more activity than what was required to remember．"A moderate level of brain activity is critical to this forgetting mechanism．Too strong，and it will strengthen the memory；too weak，and you won't change it，" said Tracy Wang，lead author of the study and a psychology postdoctoral fellow at UT Austin．"Importantly，it's the intention to forget that increases the activation of the memory，and when this activation hits the ‘moderate level' sweet spot，that's when it leads to later forgetting of that experience．" The researchers also found that participants were more likely to forget scenes than faces，which can carry much more emotional information，the researchers said ．"We're learning how these mechanisms in our brain respond to different types of information，and it will take a lot of further research and replication （重复）of this work before we understand how to control our ability to forget，" said Lewis-Peacock，who has begun a new study using neurofeedback to track how much attention is given to certain types of memories．"This will make way for future studies on how we process，and hopefully get rid of，those really strong，sticky emotional memories，which can have a powerful effect on our health and well-being，" Lewis-Peacock said．8.Previous studies on intentional forgetting researched ______ ．A. the pattern of brain activityB. the process of recovering a memoryC. the way to reduce attention to unwanted informationD. the amount of attention required by intentional forgetting9.According to Tracy Wang，forgetting is possible when ______ ．A. people respond to new experiences in an adaptive wayB. the activation of the memory reaches a certain levelC. people have the strongest intention to forgetD. the information involves more emotion10.Lewis continues his study to find out ______ ．A. how to control people's ability to forgetB. where to apply the findings of his team's latest studyC. what effects upsetting memories have on people's healthD. if different types of information requires different levels of attention11.What is the best title of the article？______A.

Forgetting is far more difficult than we once imaginedDThe new social robots，including Jibo，Cozmo，Kuri and Meccano M．A．X．，bear some resemblance to assistants like Apple's Siri，but these robots come with something more ．They are designed to win us over not with their smarts but with their personality．They are sold as companions that do more than talk to us．Time magazine hailed （称赞）the robots that "could fundamentally reshape how we interact with machines．" But is reshaping how we interact with machines a good thing，especially for children？Some researchers in favor of the robots don't see a problem with this．People have relationships with many kinds of things．Some say robots are just another thing with which we can have relationships．To support their argument，roboticists sometimes point to how children deal with toy dolls．Children animate （赋予…生命）dolls and turn them into imaginary friends．Jibo，in a sense，will be one more imaginary friend，and arguably a more intelligent and fun one．Getting attached to dolls and sociable machines is different，though．Today's robots tell children that they have emotions，friendships，even dreams to share．In reality，the whole goal of the robots is emotional trickery．For instance，Cozmo the robot needs to be fed，repaired and played with．Boris Sofman，the chief executive of Anki，the company behind Cozmo，says that the idea is to create "a deeper and deeper emotional connection …And if you neglect him，you feel the pain of that．" What is the point of this，exactly？What does it mean to feel the pain of neglecting something that feels no pain at being neglected ，or to feel anger at being neglected by something that doesn't even know it is neglecting you ？This should not be our only concern．It is troubling that these robots try to empathize with children．Empathy allows us to put ourselves in the place of others，to know what they are feeling．Robots，however，have no emotions to share，and they cannot put themselves in our place．No matter what robotic creatures "say" or squeak，they don't understand our emotional lives．They present themselves as empathy machines，but they are missing the essential equipment．They have not been born，they don't know pain，or death，or fear ．Robot thinking may be thinking，but robot feeling is never feeling，and robot love is never love．What is also troubling is that children take robots' behavior to indicate feelings．When the robots interact with them，children take this as evidence that the robots like them，and when robots don't work when needed，children also take it personally．Their relationships with the robots affect their self-esteem （自尊）．In one study，an 8-year-old boy concluded that the robot stopped talking to him because the robot liked his brothers better．For so long，we dreamed of artificial intelligence offering us not only simple help but conversation and care．Now that our dream is becoming real，it is time to deal with the emotional downside of living with robots that "feel．"12.How are the new social robots different from Siri？______A. They are intended to teach children how to talk．B. They are designed to attract people with their smarts．C. Their main function is to evaluate children's personality．D. They have a new way to communicate with human beings．13.In Paragraph 3 Cozmo is used as an example to show that the social robots ______ ．A. are deeply connected with human beingsB. are unable to build a real relationship with childrenC. are so advanced that they can feel the pain of human beingsD. are not good enough to carry out the instructions of children14.The underlined phrase "essential equipment" in Paragraph 4 refers to ______ ．A. emotionB. painC. fearD. thinking15.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage？______A.B.C.D.

Everything changed when his mother left the country and his father lost his job.He had to sleep with a heavy jacket on when it was cold. He was always hungry. He said he couldn't concentrate at school and would sleep during class. He went from straight. As to near the bottom of his class. A teacher told him he needed special education, which made him hate school.Staton spent his high school years as an excellent athlete, raining to become a professional boxer.

Many co-workers couldn't help but ask him a simple question, “What are you doing here? You’re smart. You are too young to be here.

There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago.8. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself _________.A. a serious newspaperB. foreign newspaperC. any independent paperD. a popular newspaper9. The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for ________ years.A. 19B. 85C. 236D. 22910. The Times is an independent paper because ________.A. it supports no political partiesB. it is not controlled by the British GovernmentC. it gives special support to all the political parties.D. the editor’s opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper11. The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “_________”.A. improveB. compete with each otherC. are differentD. keep in touch with each otherDThe prevalence of melanoma (黑素瘤) has been rapidly rising around the world for nearly a century. While some of the increase may be due to better detection, researchers also believe it’s because we’re spending more time outdoors in the sun, vacationing to warmer climates during the winter and using tanning beds. That rise is concerning, since melanoma is the most dangerous kind of skin cancer.Most of us know to cover up and apply sunscreen on hot, sunny days, but when fall arrives, we tend to drop those habits. Experts warn that’s a mistake. Though there’s less need for sun protection after summer ends, exposure to UV rays still adds up.What precautions you should take to defend against melanoma during the cooler months depends on where you are in the world. That’s because the further away you are from the equator, the more UV rays weaken in the winter. “In southern England or Canada, the daily dose of UVA on a clear summer day is 6.5 times higher than on a clear winter day,” says Professor Brian Diffey of the British Association of Dermatologists. “People in those countries typically receive only about 5% of their annual UV exposure in the winter months.”But no matter where you are, even during colder, lower risk months, it’s a mistake to put your sun-protection habits on ice. “It’s important to wear sun-screen when there is a lot of glare from the snow,” says Victoria Mar, director of the Victorian Melanoma Service at Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.Finally, you should monitor your moles(痣). “Early detection of melanoma is vital for successful treatment,” says Diffey. If it’s caught before it spreads to other parts of the body, the patient will have 99 % of chance to survive for five years. If it’s caught late, that can drop to 25%. Warning signs are a mole that’s changing size, shape or colour, or one that’s asymmetrical — sometimes referred to as “ugly duckling” moles. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor.12. What’s the main cause of the rise ofmelanoma?A. The climate change.B. Better detection.C. More exposure to the sun.D. The increase ofskin cancer.13.What’s a mistake according to experts?A. Applying sunscreen in summer.B. Wearing sun-screen when there is snow.C. Using sunscreen during lower risk months.D. Dropping sun-protection habits in winter.14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Prevention is better than cure.B. Health is better than wealth.C. A disease known is half cured.D. When the sun comes in, the doctor comes out.15. What is the best title of the text?A. Detect Melanoma.B. Beware Winter Rays.C. Monitor Your Moles.D. Spend Less Time Outdoors.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。

We settled in our Airbnb accommodation, a cozy apartment, not long after we arrived inHobart, the capital city.After briefing us on the kitchen's facilities and the whereabouts of the bedroom and bathroom, our hostess Geraldine resumed her ironing work, which seemed to have been interrupted by our arrival.She was ironing what looked like security guard uniforms, and we soon found out that she worked in a local prison. And when she detected the curiosity in our tones, she offered a tour at the prison in her SUV. My friend and I exchanged a “this is incredible” look and said “yes” immediately.As we drove, she told us about the buildings that we were passing, the local market and how to get to MONA,Tasmania's well-known contemporary art gallery.And of course we got to hear some background information about the prison. According to our hostess, it currently holds Martin Bryant, a notorious criminal who cheated 35 people out of their property. We could see the high level of security from the layers upon layers of wires surrounding the gray structure inside.Getting to know a city in such a local way is something I would never be able to do by talking to a hotel receptionist, and this is what I like best about the apartment-sharing experience, not to mention the fact that it's usually cheaper than hotel rooms.But I'm fully aware of the risks of Airbnb, which is why I did my homework before booking online—I checked the reviews of the accommodation to avoid possible safety problems.That said, it is the mutual trust between a host and a guest that fascinates me—the interesting feeling of building a bond with a total stranger.4. Why did the hostess drive us to the prison?A. She planned to send the uniform to the prison.B. She found our curiosity about the prison.C. She wanted to show off her SUV.D. She needed to offer a tour for us.5. Which of the following can best explain the word “notorious” in Paragraph 5?A. Unfamiliar to everyone.B. Particularly disappointing.C. Well known for being bad.D.

Doubtful.CIt’s a big change from homeless teen to Yale (耶鲁)medical school student, butperseverancepaid off for Chelesa Fearce of Clayton County, Georgia.Fearce was a fourth grader when her mom was diagnosed (诊断) with Lymphoma (淋巴瘤).That began a hard time for the family. They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs. Last fall, she entered Yale and set a course to earn both a PhD and medical degree.8.

Her grandma encouraged her to study medicine.B. Her high school offered her free meals and courses.C. She failed to study late due to frequent power cut.D. She gained remarkable high school achievement.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. From Homeless to YaleB. Meet American’s Top GirlC. Disabled but not DefeatedD. Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many TalentsDThe outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who overseesthe company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.12. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.13. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?A. It is boring to make comments.B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.14. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.15. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.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。

knowledge and experience together and create a surgical standard of care，to be carried outby machines？That's the idea behind surgical robots，which may soon perform most surgeries，from sewing up tiny wounds to performing heart procedures．Many of these operations are，in fact，already completed with the assistance of robots．But a recent test suggests that robots in the operating room may soon go a step further，performing on soft tissue completely on their own，from start to finish．The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot（STAR），successfully completed surgeries on pigs．"We're the first group to develop autonomous robotic surgery with soft﹣tissue surgery，and when compared to standard operation，it's better，"says Peter Kim，professor of surgery．"The idea is not to replace surgeons；it will make the surgeons better and make the procedures safer．"A recent Mayo Clinic study found that major surgical errors﹣including operating on the wrong site or side of the body，or even leaving tools or objects inside the patient﹣occur every one out of 22，000procedures．That's rare，but robots like STAR would aim to lower the number even further．In the da Vinci surgical system，surgeons place their arms inside instruments and use their hands to control the movement of robotic tools on the operating table from afar．The robot's every major move is controlled bysurgeons，and thus its results may vary based on the surgeon's training or experience．STAR，on the other hand，is entirely autonomous．It's not only able to work on its own and perform surgeries with a more flexible"hand"，but it's able to react to the unexpected incidents．Cutting into hard tissue like bones is one thing，but operating on moving soft tissue is far more complex．STAR reacts to a changing environment，similar to how self﹣driving cars are programmed to not only drive on the highway，but also react to another driver making a mistake and getting in your way．63．The underlined word"infallible"in Paragraph 1probably means ．A．always rightB．really creativeC．rather responsibleD．quite smart64．We can learn from the passage that STAR ．A．has been widely used in the operating roomB．can perform the operation on its ownC．can make surgeries much fasterD．will take the place of surgeons65．In the da Vinci surgical system，．A．robots are trained from afarB．surgery results depend on surgeonsC．robots always make mistakesD．surgeons have trouble controlling robots66．In the last paragraph，the author mentions self﹣driving cars in order to show ．A．how bad getting in another driver's way might beB．how difficult self﹣driving on the highway isC．how smart an autonomous robot can beD．how dangerous operating on people is．67．For several years，the art trade in London has known about the possible existence of the"treasure of the western cave"，dating from the 6th century BC．It was said to have been discovered"by farmers"in western Iran around 1992．Out of between 200and 600pieces，only a few have so far"surfaced"．The Iranians were very angry that they managed to seize only part of the collection and that the rest was taken abroad illegally．But now they may worry less．An academic paper has just produced convincing evidence that at least one piece is a fake （赝品）．Fakes always exist in the world of antiquities（古物），but what is astonishingis how widespread they are now．A report from the Archaeological Institute of America concludes that no less than 80per cent of all"ancient"west African pieces on the market are fake．How can this"forgery（伪造）culture"boom？It is found that about 80per cent of the antiquities traded have no clear source．In other words，it is not known where they were found and therefore，even if they are real，they can tell us little about ancient history．People in the trade say that the majority of these objects were found in"casual discoveries"．Shamefully，they know that this is not true．They advance the fiction because it suits their commercial purposes．The reality is that the objects come from robbery，not by local farmers"happening"on a few finds．The"treasure of the western cave"is a classic example of how faking works．Faking is big business，and is of such a standard that even the greatest scholars may be fooled some of the time．The antiquities trade likes to play down not only the extent of robbery and faking，but also the overlap between the two．These latest reports let the cat out of the bag．But it is the overlap with robbed antiquities that is the most significant factor，which leads to the culture of forgery．Collectors of antiquities need to be aware that they not only aid the robberyof potentially invaluable sites，but put themselves at the mercy of fakers as well…．67．What do we probably know about the"treasure of the western cave"？A．It's slightly broken．B．It's totally real．C．It's partly fake．D．It's fairly new．68．What astonishes the author？A．The huge number of fakes．B．The long history of fakes．C．The influence of fakes．D．The origin of fakes．69．According to the passage，"forgery culture"mainly results from ．A．a belief in"casual discoveries"B．high faking standardsC．antiquities without a clear sourceD．close combination of robbery and faking70．Which is probably the last sentence of the passage？A．This is the main source for robbery．B．What shall be done to stop this trend？C．Are collectors of antiquities aware of it？D．They are being not just dishonest，but foolish．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．71．Social PhobiaIt's natural to feel nervous，or shy in front of others at times．Most people manage to get through these moments when they need to．（71）It's probably more than shyness．It may build up into a powerful fear．As a result，people feel uncomfortable participating in everyday social activities．This is called social phobia （also called social anxiety）．（72）It prevents them from chatting with friends in the lunchroom，joining an after﹣school club，or going to a party．Sometimes，they even feel too nervous to ask a question in class or go to a teacher for help．Social phobia not only prevents people from trying new things．It also prevents them from making the normal，everyday mistakes that help people improve their skills still further．It is really sad，isn't it？But the good news is that people with social phobia can learn to manage fear，develop confidence and communicating skills andstop avoiding things that make them nervous．Of course it's not always easy．Dealing with social phobia takes patience，courage to face fears and the willingness to practice．（73）Therapists （治疗师）can help people create a plan for facing social fears and build the skills and confidence to overcome it．And family or friends are especially important for them．（74）Friends and family can encourage them to pick a small goal to aim for，remind them to go for it，and be there when they might feel discouraged．Good friends and family are there to celebrate each small success along the way．Little by little，someone who decides to deal with extreme shyness can learn to be more comfortable．（75）As shyness and fears begin to melt，confidence and positive feelings build．Pretty soon，the person is thinking less about what might feel uncomfortable and more about what might be fun．A．Friends can overcome their fears．B．But for some，the anxiety can be extreme．C．They are not able to make eye contact with classmates．D．Social phobia makes people lonely or disappointed over missed opportunities．E．It also takes a commitment to go forward rather than back away when feeling shy．F．Each small step forward helps build enough confidence to take the next small step．G．The support from those key people helps them gather the courage to try something new．第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节76．假设你是红星中学高三学生李华．你的英国朋友Jim

高考英语二模试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）APreschool girl lifts old man's spirits When Tara Wood brought her daughter to a grocery store to buy the four-year-old some cupcakes，she had no idea that would be a life-changing experience．As Tara pushed her daughter Norah around the store last month，she passed an old man who was by himself．The old man looked cold，until Norah shouted to him，"Hi! It's my birthday today!" The man stopped and his demeanor changed from distant and serious to warm and friendly．"How old are you today？" the man asked．After some time talking together，Norah asked her mom to take a picture of her with her new friend "Mr Dan"，Dan Peterson，82．They hugged and after ten minutes went their separate ways．That could have been the end of the story．But it is actually the beginning of a special relationship．Tara posted the picture of her daughter and Mr．Dan on Facebook and someone who recognized him reached out to her with his contact information．It turned out that Mr．Dan's wife died in March and he had been suffering from depression and anxiety ever since．The person on Facebook told Tara that it was the first time they had seen Mr．Dan smile since the death of his wife．Knowing that，Tara contacted Mr．Dan，and ever since Norah and the 82-year-old have developed a friendship unlike any other．"She has shown me a depth of love，a depth that I didn't know existed，" Mr．Dan told the reporter．Mr．Dan told Tara that before meeting Norah，he hadn't had one night of uninterrupted sleep．Anxiety kept him up at all hours and made him restless．After meeting Norah，he said he now sleeps soundly．For Mr．Dan's 82nd birthday on October 20，the mother and the daughter brought balloons and presents-and，of course，cupcakes．Mr．Dan will also spend a day around Thanksgiving with Norah and her family．"If you don't take the time to notice people，you will never know how you can positively impact a life，" Tara Wood said．1.Mr．Dan looked cold because ______ ．A. he felt lonelyB. he disliked little kidsC. nobody had hugged himD. he knew little about Norah2.The underlined word "demeanor" in Paragraph 2 probably means ______ ．A. wordsB. bodyC. thoughtsD. attitude3.How did Tara know more about Mr．Dan？______A.

Learn how living things affect each other．7.For a guided tour，visitors should know that ______ ．A. large groups are served firstB. it is available on weekdaysC. its time could changeD. booking is neededCLove the Way You WalkListen carefully to the footsteps in the family home and you can probably work out who is walking about. The features most commonly used to identify people are faces, voices and fingerprints. But the way they walk is also a giveaway.Researchers have used video cameras and computers to analyze people's gaits, and are now quite good at it. But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky. Cameras are often visible, are difficult to set up, require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people. A team led by Dr. Ozanyan and Dr. Scully have been looking for a better way to recognize gait. Their answer: pressure-sensitive mats.Such mats are nothing new. They have been part of security systems. But Ozanyan and Scully use a complicated version that can record the amount of pressure applied in different places as someone walks across it. These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker. The researchers turned to an artificial-intelligence system to recognize such patterns, and it seemed to work. In a study in 2018, they tested the system on a database of footsteps of 127 people. They found its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere 0.7%. And Scully says even without a database of footsteps to work with, the system can determine someone's sex and, with reasonable accuracy, a subject's age.One application of the mat-based gait-recognition system might be in health care, particularly for the elderly. A mat placed in a nursing home or an old person's own residence could monitor changes in an individual's gait that indicates certain illnesses. That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling over.Gait analysis might also be used as a security measure in the workplace, monitoring access to restricted areas, such as parts of military bases, server farms or laboratories dealing with dangerous materials.Perhaps the most interesting use of the mats, though, would be in public places, such as airports. For that to work, the footsteps of those to be recognized would need to have been stored in a database, which would be harder to arrange than the collection of photographs and fingerprints that existing airport security systems rely on. Many aircrew or preregistered frequent flyers would welcome any thing that speeded up one of the most tiresome parts of modern travel.8.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?A. Research equipment.B. Research findings.C. Research assumption.D. Research background.9.According to Paragraph 3, the mat is used to ________.A. collect dataB. ensure safetyC. determine ageD. analyse pressure10.The gait-recognition system might be applied to ________.A. monitor security work progressB. detect potential health problemsC. keep track of travelling frequencyD. warn passengers of possible dangers11.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. compare and educateB. examine and assessC. discuss and persuadeD. explain and informDOvertourism：A growing global problem The summer holidays are in full swing-and protests against overtourism have begun in a number of popular European cities．Barcelona，in particular，is at the centre of these mounting concerns about the rapid growth of tourism in cities，especially during peak holiday periods．In fact，there were 30 million overnight visitors in 2017，compared to a resident population of 1，625，137 in Barcelona．While many tourists want to "live like a local" during their visits，the residents of many tourism-dependent destinations are seeing the unique sense of place that characterised their home towns vanish beneath a wave of souvenir shops，crowds，tour buses and noisy bars．Overtourism is harming the landscape，damaging beaches，and pricing residents out of the housing market．It is a hugely complex issue that is often oversimplified．It can have an impact in multiple ways．The international cruise（游轮）industry，for example，delivers thousands of passengers daily to destination ports．While comparatively little is returned to communities，cruise activity creates physical and visual pollution．City residents also bear the cost of tourism growth．As cities transform to offer service to tourists，the global travel supply chain advances．This goes with increasing property speculation（房产投机）and rising costs of living for local communities．Airbnb，for example，has been accused of reducing housing affordability and displacing residents．In addition，overcrowding and the establishment of typical tourism-focused businesses，such as clubs，bars and souvenir shops，overpower local businesses-and noisy and unmanageable tourist behaviour is common．This weakens the uniqueness of destinations and leads to crowd and waste management pressures．Clearly，tourism brings jobs，investment and economic benefits to destinations．But overtourism occurs when tourism expansion fails to acknowledge that there are limits．Local government and planning authorities have so far been powerless to deal with the irresistible influence of the global tourism supply chain．This has led to widespread "tourist-phobia"-first described by Manuel Delgado more than a decade ago as a mixture of rejection，mistrust and disrespect for tourists．Dealing with overtourism must now be a priority．Managing the flow of tourists seems an improbable and unwelcome task．But some cities have taken extreme measures to limit the effects of overtourism，including the introduction of new or revised taxation arrangements，fines linked to new local laws，and "demarketing"，whereby destinations focus on attracting fewer，high-spending and low impact tourists，rather than large groups．Overtourism is a shared responsibility．City administrators and destination managers must acknowledge that there are definite limits to growth．Putting the wellbeing of local residents above the needs of the global tourism supply chain is vital．Primary consideration must be given to ensuring that the level of visitation fits within a destination's capacity．We need to urgently rethink the way cities are evolving to uphold the rights of their residents．12.Why is Barcelona mentioned in Paragraph 1？______A. To describe how unique the city is．B. To warn people away from popular cities．C. To show how crowded a destination can be．D. To compare the number of visitors to that of locals．13.What is the problem of overtourism？______A. It has destroyed local businesses．B. It has led to higher living expenses．C. It has increased the unemployment rate．D.

There was a thick forest on the sides of a mountain. Many kinds of animals lived in the forest. A deer was eating grass and leaves with her two young ones. The young ones wandered happily here and there. The deer followed her fawns (幼鹿)into a cave. The deer was frightened because it was a tiger's cave. There were bones of dead animals all over the cave. Fortunately, the tiger was not inside the cave at the time.The deer was trying to lead her young ones out of the cave when she heard a loud roar. She saw the tiger at a distance coming towards the cave. It was dangerous to go out of the cave now. She thought of a plan. The deer raised her voice and shouted, "My deer young children do not weep. I shall capture (捕捉)a tiger for you to eat. You can have a good dinner."The tiger heard these words and became frightened. He thought, "Whose is that strange voice from the cave? A dangerous animal is staying inside to capture me. I shall run away to escape death." The tiger began to run away from there as fast as possible.A jackal (胡狼)saw the running tiger. “Why are you running in great fear?" the jackal asked. The tiger said, "My friend, a powerful and fierce animal is in my cave. The young ones are crying for a tiger to eat. The mother is promising to capture a tiger for them. So, I am running away."The cunning jackal was now sure the tiger was a coward (懦夫).It said, "Don't be afraid. No animal is fiercer or stronger than a tiger Let us go together to find out.”But the tiger said, "I do not want to take a chance. You may run away. I will be left alone to die. So, I will not come with you."The jackal said, "Trust me. Let us knot (打结)our tails together. Then I will not be able to leave you." The tiger agreed unwillingly to this proposal. So the jackal tied their tails in a knot. Now they walked towards the cave together.Para. 1The deer saw the jackal and the tiger coming together._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2The tiger was shocked to hear this and he was sure now the jackal cheated him._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;2.应使用至少5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词;3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头已为你写好,不计入总词数;4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词。

He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet.When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group."Congratulations, son," his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet.A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he'd win again.He's taken first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn't admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer's build.It didn't take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place - and then third - and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic.On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. "Mike, we all love ice cream, but it's not healthy for yourbody to eat so much of it. Maybe it's time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.”Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn't perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2. 应使5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4. 续写完成后, 请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs. Garcia, carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil. Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia was able to garden in the city.“My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don’t have a yard,” said Maria.Mrs. Garcia laughed. “I’ll show you,” she said.Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof. When the door opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.“What a wonderful garden!” said Maria.Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.“I plant flowers in my own place,” Mrs. Garcia said, “but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here. Some people grow vegetables just like your mom. You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside. You just have to be creative!”4. Where did Mrs. Garcia take Maria to one day?A. The park.B. The roof.C. The garden in front of her house.D. The countryside.5. Which of the following is NOT the good side of the community garden?A. It made the building stronger.B.

After Maria visited the garden, she would most probably ask her mom to ________.A. go back to the countrysideB. pick flowers from the gardenC show her around the park D. grow vegetables on the roof7. What is the best title for this passage?A. A Creative LadyB. An Empty RoofC. A Rooftop GardenD. A Special BuildingCThis past year, I've found myself returning again and again to lines of poetry by Emily Dickinson. Like many people, I've needed the curing effects of reading more than ever. As scientists and psychologists will tell you, books are good for the brain and their benefits are particularly vital now.Books expand our world, providing an escape and offering novelty, surprise and excitement. They broaden our view and help us connect with others. Books can also distract us and help reduce ourmental chatter.When we hit the “flow state" of reading where we're fully lost in a book, our brain's mode network calms down. It's a network of brain that is active and gets absorbed in thinking and worrying endlessly when we are not doing anything else.There is so much noise in the world right now and the very act of reading is kind of meditation. You disconnect from the chaos around you.You reconnect with yourself when you are reading. And there's no more noise.In 2020, the NPD Group recorded the best year of book sales since 2004. Yet even as people are buying more books,many are reporting they're having a harder time getting through them. It's difficult for your brain to focus on a book when it's constantly scanning for threats to keep you alive.Our fight-or-flight response has been consistently activated.Sometimes I picture my brain as a cartoon brain with little arms and legs, fighting with a book I am holding and screaming: “Can't you see I'm busy!” Anxiety causes our brain to produce a flood of stress,which consumes our energy and makes it harder to concentrate.Then one day in December sitting on my couch, I remembered how much I like to read"The House of Mirth" every few years around the holidays. The memory inspired me to pick up the familiar book, opened it up and started reading.I just kept going.The comfort and distraction and brain-opening experience gave me peace.So return to something familiar.8. What does the underlined part “mental chatter” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Getting lost in a book.B. Non-stop inner anxiety.C. Chatting with the author.D. Powerful network of brain.9. What do we know about reading according to the text?A. It can treat our headache.B. It can calm down the noisy people.C. It forces us to concentrate.on thinking.D. It makes us communicate with ourselves.10. Why was it difficult for people to finish reading books in 2020?A. People bought too many books.B. The books were too difficult to understand.C. People just wanted to escape from the threat.D. The life threat disturbed people's focus on books.11. Why is the author's experience mentioned in the last paragraph?A. To rid people of concern for safety.B. To present an effective reading way.C. To wake up memories of an old book.D. To recommend the book he/she reads.DThe grocerystore might not be your favorite place to visit when you're at home, but is it ever fun when you're in another country? Honestly speaking, they're one of those strange little destinations that I like to sniff out everywhere I go, much as other travelers head toward clothing stores, libraries, coffee shops or galleries.The greatest beauty of the grocery store –– whether it's a supermarket or a tiny shop –– is that it gives you a glimpse into what local people buy to cook their own meals. This offers clues into their lifestyles and preferences,and into the agricultural and cooking practices of the country. I stare at the strange fruits and vegetables, the seafood, the cheese, the spices, the bread, and oh, the chocolate...always the chocolate!Being the environmental nerd（呆子）I am, I like paying attention to packaging, which can reflect people's attitudes towards environmental protection. Italy, for example, has a habit of requiring customers to bag their fruits and vegetables in plastic for weighing, while Sri Lanka leaveseverything loose in bins. In Brazil, everything is prepackaged in a layer of plastic.People in grocery stores tend to be friendlier. They smile, say hello, and sometimes ask questions, which can lead to great conversations. I had a further discussion with a teenaged cashier in Sri Lanka, over which bag of crunchy（松脆的）mix to buy. He insisted that the one labeled “spicy” would be too hot for me, but I told him I was willing to risk it. He laughed and we ended up talking about my favorite Sri Lankan foods for ten minutes.It's interesting then to come home and look at one's own local grocery store through new eyes. What would a visitor think? What stands out, and what do the food displays say about us as a culture? You might be surprised by what you realize.12. According to the author, what is the key benefit of visiting foreign grocery stores?A. Learning to cook foreign dishes.B. Making friends with local people.C. Buying cheaper food and souvenirs.D. Knowing local people and the country.13. What does the author show by mentioning some countries in paragraph 3?A. People's special lifestyles.B. People's shopping habits.C. People's environmental awareness.D. People's packaging methods.14. What can we infer from paragraph 4?A. Sri Lankans know a lot about food.B. Grocery stores are good social places.C. Grocery stores vary in different countries.D. Sri Lankans like to give strangers suggestions.15. Which of the following shows the structure of text? (P: paragraph)A. B.C.

后续写”高三模拟试题二
写作指导与解读
一、续写原题
Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder
At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop
time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.”someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊) through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed suit.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else!”Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik’s still inside.”She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”
