What would be the best title for the text？ ______A. A Letter of ComplaintB. Love Between Daughter and MotherC. The Curing Power of Toilet Papering．D. An Unforgettable Evening in Family YardsA 23-year-old British woman has invented a product she hopes will one day replace single-use plastic．The new product is made by combining fishing waste and algae （水藻）．It could be used to replace plastic bags or containers that people use once and throw away． Lucy Hughes created the material，called MarinaTex，for her final year project at the University．MarinaTex is edible，to put it in another way，it can betasted without danger．Hughes says it is also strong and stable． But unlike plastic， MarinaTex biodegrades （生物降解）in four to six weeks under normal conditions and does not pollute the soil． The inventor said she is concerned about the growing amounts of plastics in ocean waters．She noted one report that there would be more plastic than fish in the world's oceans by the year 2050． The United Nations estimates that 100 million tons of plastic waste has already been left in the oceans．Hughes also was investigating ways to reduce the amount of waste from the fishing industry．The industry produces an estimated 50 million tons of waste worldwide each year， UN officials say．Examining fish parts left over from processing helped to give her the idea for a material that was useful and did no harm to the environment． "Why do we need to have hundreds of man-made polymers （聚合体）when nature has so many already available？" she asked．After months of testing，Hughes produced a strong，flexible sheet that forms at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius． Inventor James Dyson said that MarinaTex is ^stronger， safer and much more sustainable （可持续的）"than plastic．It is also easier to break down．Hughes will receive about ﹩41，000 prize money as the first place winner of the James Dyson Award．She plans to use the money to further develop the product and ways to mass produce it．"Further research and development will ensure that MarinaTex evolves further， and becomes part of a global answer to the abundance of single use plastic waste，" Dyson said．8. What do we know about MarinaTex？ ______A. It is a safe seafood．B. It is a kind of waste．C. It is a new kind of plastic．D. It is a safe material that can replace plastic．9. What does the underlined word "edible" in paragraph 2 mean？ ______A. Useful．B. Eatable．C. Replaceable．D. Delicious．10. What gets Hughes to creat MarinaTex？ ______A. Her concern about the growing amount of plastic in ocean．B. Her occupational habit of trying out new things．C. Her hope to help develop the fishing industry．D. Her desire to win the prize money．11. What can we infer from the last paragrach？ ______A. We need to have hundreds of MarinaTex available．B. Hughes produced MarinaTex without much effort．C. MarinaTex will be a good solution to plastic waste．D. Hughes is the first winner of the James Dyson Award．Britain's got talent--but we're still wasting it． That's the main finding of a new report by researchers from Oxford University．Children of similar cognitive （认知）ability have very different chances of educational success； it still depends on their parents' economic，socio-cultural and educational resources．This contradicts a commonly held view that our education system has developed enough to give everyone a fighting chance． The researchers looked at data from groups of children born in three decades： 1950s， 1970s and 1990s．They found significant evidence of a wastage of talent．Individuals with high levels of cognitive ability but with disadvantages in their social origins are unable to translate their ability intoeducational achievement to the same extent as their more advantaged counterparts （对照组）． The research， funded by the Nuffield Foundation，found that only about half of the difference in educational achievement between children from advantaged and disadvantaged parental backgrounds is due to differences in their cognitive ability．The other half is due to other factors （因素）associated with their backgrounds．"If we compare the educational achievement of children born in the 1990s to those in the late 1950s and early 1970s， we see that parents' economic resources have become a less important factor， but their socio-cultural and educational resources have grown in significance，" says Dr．Bukodi．"That means that your parents' place in society and their own level of education still play a big part in how well you may do．"These experts are now calling for policy-makers to acknowledge that formal qualifications is only one channel for upward mobility （流动性）for high-ability individuals of disadvantaged backgrounds．Dr．Bukodi says，"These findings show that there are limits to how far inequalities of opportunity can be reduced through educational policy alone． Changes in educational policy aren't having the powerful effect we want．"12. What is the main finding of the research？ ______A. We're wasting talent due to education system．B. Children of similar cognitive ability have different chancesof educational success．C. Children's cognitive ability depends on different educational resources．D. Education system has developed enough to give chilidren a fighting chance．13. How does the author mainly develop the text？ ______A. By making a comparison．B. By discussing a result．C. By giving examples．D. By presenting reasons．14. According to Dr．Bukodi，what affects children's educational achievement greatly？ ______A. Children's cognitiveB. Parents' economic resouces．ability．C. Educational policy．D. Parents' socio-cultural and educational backgrounds．15. What is the author's attitude towards the finding of the new report？______A. Favorable．B. Objective．C. Doubtful．D. Negative．二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)Are you crying because you're sad or because something moves you？ It's all okay． Some people try to hold back tears because they are scared it makes them seem weak， which is not a wise practice． Don't try to fight the tears， but let them flow freely，16 ．1．It gives you more supportSometimes people don't understand how much something is botheringyou，17 ． Research carried out in 2018 shows that crying is so-called attachment behavior． This means that crying makespeople want to comfort you and support you．2．18When you cry because something made you sad， the pain is often quite sharp，but you do feel relieved after you cry． That is not that strange．Researchers found out that your body produces oxytocin and endorphins when you cry．These components make people feel good and that's why you experience the sharp pain a little less intense．3．It is said to cause less stress19 ， but researchers are convinced that crying can lessen stress．When you cry，your tears contain a certain concentration of stress hormones （激素）．These stress hormones leave your body when you cry and researchers have developed a theory that you experience less stress after crying because of it．4．It can improve your sightMost people know tears as the drops that pour over your cheeks when you cry，but there is also something called 'basal tears'． This is the liquid that is produced when you blink （眨眼）．It keeps your eyes watery and allows you to see clearly． Sometimes your eyes can be a bit dry，20 ． When you cry，your eyes will be wet for a little．A．It really eases the painB．It can make you farsightedC．which makes you see a little lessD．It is no use crying over spilt milkE．because crying also has four benefitsF．A lot of research still has to be doneG．but they suddenly understand it better when you cry16.

英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AIn this age of Internet chat，videogames and reality television，there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied．Yet，despite the competition，my -year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories．She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest，a competition she won last year．As a writer I know about winning contests，and about losing them．I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher．I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories．What if she doesn't win the contest again ？That's the strange thing about being a parent．So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface．A revelation（启示）came last week when I asked her，" Don't you want to win again ？" No，" she replied，" I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade．"I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously（自发地）told them．Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall，I offered suggestions for characters，conflicts and endings for her tales．The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly "guided" by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson．I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it．Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks．Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade，I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting（借用）my daughter's experience．While stepping back was difficult for me，it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps，putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked．All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment，grow and find their own voices．1.What do we learn from the first paragraph？______A. A lot of distractions compete for children's time nowadays．B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities．C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time．D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing．2.What did the author say about her own writing experience？______A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more．B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers．C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer．D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations．3.Why did Rebecca want to enter this year's writing contest？______A. She had won a prize in the previous contest．B. She wanted to share her stories with readers．C. She was sure of winning with her mother's help．D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing．BSeveral months ago I decided it would be wise to investigate the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy，if for no other reason than because I understood it might be a good investment．I got the name of an insurance agent from a friend and called the agent to get some information．From the kinds of questions I put to him，the agent would tell that I knew nothing about insurance so he kindly offered to explore the matter with me in more detail．-to help me determine the kind of policy I ought to be considering．That evening he appeared at my door promptly at 7：30；without wasting time on amenities he spread his papers out on the kitchen table and launched into a lengthy explanation．I listened attentively as he talked about the difference between various types of policies，and he explained the kind of coverage he felt I ought to have because of my age bracket and financial objectives．Toward the end of the evening （after three or four hours of talking），he kindly helped me fill out an application for a 50，000 dollar policy，and then he asked if I could go to a Dr．Luther's office on Friday for a physical examination．I don't know why，but it was not until the mention of the doctor's appointment that I realized fully what was happening．I was about to sign a lifetime contract yet I had not really made a decision about whether I wanted to buy the policy or not．As a matter of fact，the question of the need for a decision from me one way or the other had not even come up．Suddenly I felt sure that I definitely did not want to buy the policy．However，since he had spent so much time with me，I didn't want to make him feel that he had wasted his time．So I invented an excuse about things I had to do on Friday，and I assured him I would call him in a few days．Actually，I had no intention of going to see Dr．Luther or of calling the agent again．I wanted to forget the whole thing．It's been over three months now since our meeting，and my friendly insurance agent still calls at my office faithfully two or three times a week．My secretary knows that I don't want to talk to him，so when he calls she tells him that I'm in a meeting or that I'm out of the office or that I'm away on a business trip．I realize now that it was a mistake not to tell him outright that I'm not interested，and please not to bother me any more，all I can do is to avoid his calls and hope I don't run into him someplace．4.The writer phoned the insurance agent because ______ ．A. He wanted to fill out an application for a life insurance policy．B. He had decided to buy a life insurance policy．C. He wanted to explore the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy．D. He took great interest in the insurance company．5.According to the passage，the agent was ______ ．A. an experienced salesmanB. kind but inexperiencedC. ineffectiveD. easy to deal with6.The writer didn't tell the agent the truth because ______ ．A. he was afraid of him．B. he felt embarrassed to do so．C. he thought it none of the agent's business．D. he didn't wish to lose the agents friendship．7.The writer realizes that ______ ．A. he should have told the truth to the agent earlier．B. he should buy the policy．C. the agent is a real friend．D. insurance is but swindle（骗局）CThe letter arrives from a school that your son told you is his dream school．You dare not open it，instead，you hand it to him when he arrives home from school．You watch as his eyes light up and you know this is the beginning of something．You are just not sure what．Your son insists that the coach must really want him since he took the time to write him a letter．Is this in fact true？Did he write other kids and if so how many？How would you know？The simple fact of the matter is that you can read very little into that first letter．Coaches cast a wide net in the first few stages of the recruiting（录取）cycle．That letter may in fact，be the first and last time your son ever hears from that particular coach．Think about it：if he has not seen your sons transcripts or his standardized test scores，if you have not visited the school，if he has no knowledge of your financial needs，can it be anything significant？So how do you treat these letters or emails？Is there some format you can apply？Say tor instance，three letters mean real interest…or three letters and a call means a greater degree of interest？My experience in deal with cases of various applications is that answers will not come automatically．Call the coach and find out how real the interest in fact is．"Is my son a top recruit in your mind？" "How many players at his position will you be recruiting this year？" By asking these simple and direct questions，you as a parent，will have established a dialogue and hopefully figured out how much interest，if any really exists．However，here comes the challenge．Applicants and parents are vague with coaches about their intention and level of interest all the time．In fact，the coach's situation is no less confusing than yours．He is fighting a similar battle on multiple choices．There is little clarity on either end．Enjoy that first letter．Let's hope it is one of many and let's hope you apply a bit of realism with a bit of wishful thinking about how happy your son should be when this is all over．8.How did the parent feel about the letter that his son got from his dreamed school？______A. expectantB. hesitantC. doubtfulD. hopeful9.According to the passage，by calling the coach，parents car ______ ．A. determine the level of interest from coachB. build up a communication with the coachC. identify the real intention of the coachD. understand more about the situation of the coach10.The author of the passage is most likely to be ______ ．A. a consultant to help students with their applicationB. a parent with similar experiencesC. a school authority that supervises the applicationD. a coach in charge of the application11.The purpose of the passage is to ______ ．A. remind parents of the importance of the first letter from coachesB. tell parents how to react to the first letter from coachesC. advise parents to ignore the first letter from coachesD. warn parents to be realistic towards the first letter from coachesDSince we are social beings，the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships．One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances．Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties．Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily difficulties．People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties．Studies over a range of illnesses，from depression to heart disease，show that the presence of social support helps people protect themselves from illness，and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely．Social support cushions stress in a number of ways．First，friends，relatives，and co-workers may let us know that they value us．Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties．Second，other people often provide us with informational support．They help us to explain and understand our problems and find solutions to them．Third，we typically find social companionship supportive．Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting（转移……注意力）us from our worries and troubles．Finally，other people may give us instrumental support-financial aid，material resources，and needed services-that reduces stress by helping us solve and deal with our problems．12.Research shows that people's physical and mental health has much to do with ______ ．A. the social medical systemB. the amount of support they get from othersC. their strength for dealing with interpersonal tiesD. their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles13.The underlined word "cushions" probably means" ______ "．A. adds up toB. lessens the effect ofC. does away withD. lays the foundation for14.Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of ______ ．A. important supportB. informational supportC. social activityD. the strengthening of self-respect15.Social companionship is beneficial in that ______ ．A. it helps strengthen our ties with relativesB. it enables us to get rid of our faults and mistakesC. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyableD. it draws our attention away from our worries and troubles二、单选题（本大题共30小题，共90.0分）16.It was a long time before the cut on my hand______

安徽省桐城中学2020届高三上学期模拟考试（二）英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe Worlds' Best Bookshops There's nothing like being surrounded by books，wherever you are．Here are the finest oases of literature that travellers can bring you．Daikanyama T-site | TokyoIt is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful，crisscrossed architecture．Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors' worth of bookshelves，there's the bar，the coffee shop，or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer．Grab a book，order a beer and dive into its pages．I could have stayed hours here．City Lights | San FranciscoThe three-storey establishment publishes and sells titles in poetry，fiction，translation，politics，history and the arts．It hosts events and readings，and runs a non-profit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature．It's opposite Vesuvio，a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat-generation writers and artists．Shakespeare and Company | ParisI made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris．It has two floors packed with English-language texts，and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space devoted to notes from visitors - heartfelt messages to a loved one，dedications to the shop itself，or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher．Hutatma Chowk | MumbaiA few years ago I visited India，investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country．I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarp-covered book stalls at Hutatma Chowk （Martyrs' Square）．The booksellers here are like amateur librarians，able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for．To me，those well-thumbed （翻旧了的）books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the 150 years since the city gave us Kipling．1.In which bookshop can you buy a drink while visiting？______A. Daikanyama T-siteB. City LightsC. Shakespeare and CompanyD. Hutatma Chowk2.What can be learned about the book stalls at Hutatma Chowk？______A. People can meet Rudyard Kipling there．B. They sell the cheapest books in the world．C. The book owners are amateur librarians．D. The sellers are familiar with the books．3.What do the four bookstores have in common？______A. They are beautifully designed．B. They are three-storey buildings．C. They offer book lovers good experience．D. They are frequently visited by great writers．BHoward Weistling wanted to be a comic strip （连环漫画）artist．But when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor，he joined the Army．After flight engineer training ，Howard was shipped off to Europe．On his maiden flight ，his plane was shot down over Austria．The entire crew of eight men landed safely．But a farmer found Howard hiding in his barn and turned him over to a prison of war camp in Barth，Germany．It was freezing and the men almost starved to death eating the guards' garbage．Hungry and homesick Howard coped the only way he knew how．He drew a comic strip．The book，made of cigarette wrappers bound together with scrap metal，was sent around the camp．Every couple of days he would add a new panel．One panel at a time would be passed around the whole camp．And they'd have something to look forward to．After an entire year of this，they woke one morning to find their guards gone．They fled and Howard finally got to go home．Just lucky to get out alive ，he left the book behind．Back home in California，Howard soon had a wife and kids to feed so he had to set aside his dream of becoming an artist．He took a job as a gardener instead．Morgan shared his father's artistic gifts．At 15 his parents sent him to art school．And Howard got to see his son become a well - known painter before he died in 2002．That's how ，seven decades after the war ，when a stranger in New York googled the name "Weistling，" he found Morgan online．"I get an email from a gentleman and he says，‘ I think I may have some drawings your father did when he was a POW （prisoner of war）in World War II，'" Morgan recalls．" ‘Would you like them？' And I just stared at that email and started crying．"Luckily Howard had engraved his name on the comic book，which is how the man from New York City had connected with Morgan．A couple of days later when it arrived in California ，Morgan couldn't believe it．"It was like getting my father back ，" Morgan says．"It was like him being able to tell me the story over again - only this time it was real in my hands．"4.The passage details Howard's life as a POW to show that ______ ．A. war cannot stop his pursuit of successB. passion for art helped ease his sufferingsC. loss of freedom encouraged his creativityD. misery drives him to fight against his fate5.What can we infer about Howard's comic strip in prison？______A. It satisfied prisoners' curiosity．B. It aroused the guards' sympathy．C. It was popular among the prisoners．D. It raised prisoners' confidence in freedom．6.What contributes to the stranger's success in finding Morgan？______A. The email from a gentleman．B. Howard's experience in the war．C. Morgan's recalling of his father．D. Morgan's status in the field of art．7.What can we infer about Morgan from the last paragraph？______A. He didn't believe the stranger's story．B. He was excited to get the comic strip．C. He couldn't wait to tell others his good news．D. He hadn't heard about his father's war stories．CYour brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you．Now，it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old．A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their real age．Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine-learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age．To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife，Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive （认知的）testing since they were 3 years old．When the volunteers，all aged between 43 and 46，underwent MRI brain scans，the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71．Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition，memory and IQ．The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly，and vice versa （反之亦然）．However，the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngest-looking brains．This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life．Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia （痴呆）to be started sooner．This means treatments might have a better chance of working．We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing，but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise，these aren't a bad place to start．8.What helps predict the speed of one's brain ageing？______A. One's health condition．B. A test result at the age of 3．C. The actual age of one's brain．D. A machine for medical check．9.What is the purpose of Elliott's research？______A. To find out why people look older or younger．B. To measure people's brain age at different stages．C. To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines．D. To explore the relationship between brain age and future health．10.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？______A. The influence of cognitive tests．B. The procedure of Elliott's study．C. The information about volunteers．D. The findings of the brain research．11.What do the findings of the research imply？______A. We should test our brain age earliest possible．B. People suffering dementia can go on working．C. Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age．D. Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing．DOne of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so-called Mozart effect，which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence．Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies．And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development．He was history's greatest child genius ，performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"．So，if you have kids or you're expecting to have them，how seriously should you take the Mozart effect？Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle （摇篮）be limited to an ordinary life？Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart？Relax．There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities．The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993，which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的）skills．This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician ，Don Campbell ，in a book．Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart - based enrichment activities．In 1998 ，for example，the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical-music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state．Since then，scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it．The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999，and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible．In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development ，and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．12.People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he ______ ．A. owned extraordinary music talentB. could perform music as a childC. offered music to pregnant womenD. was an royal Austrian composer13.What can we know about the small study in 1993？______A. It added to the popularity of Mozart's music．B. It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect．C. It helped college students make academic progress．D. It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music．14.What does the underlined word "negligible" probably mean？______A. Sudden．B. Insignificant．C. Average．D. Steady．15.What can be the best title for the text？______A. New Findings：Mozart Effect to Be ProvedB. Secrets Uncovered：History of Mozart EffectC. Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter？D. How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence？二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Your comfort zone is a behavioral space where your activities and behaviors fit a routine and pattern that minimizes stress and risk．(1) You benefit in obvious ways：regular happiness，low anxiety，and reduced stress．Leaving your comfort zone can have very positive results，though．For one thing，you'll surely be more productive if you're willing to move out of it．With the sense of unease that comes from having deadlines and expectations，you'll have the drive and ambition to do more and learn new things．(2) For another，learning to live outside your comfort zone can prepare you for life changes that force you out of it．Fear and uncertainty always exist in our life．By challenging yourself to things you normally wouldn't do，you can experience some of that uncertainty in a controlled and manageable environment．While outside your comfort zone can be a good place to be，(3) ．You can start by doing everyday things differently．For example，you can take a different route to work or try a new restaurant．Besides，you should remember to break out in small steps．You get the same benefits whether you go with long strides （大步）or you start slow．If you're socially anxious，don't suppose you have to gather the courage to ask your crush （爱慕之人）on a date right away．(4) Identify your fears，and then face them step by step．Trying new things is difficult，so it's important to understand how habits form and how we can break them．(5)A．It provides a state of mental security．B．it's of great necessity to find ways to break out of itC．it's a pleasant experience to stay in the comfort zoneD．You have to manage that stress and risk in a clever way．E．Just say hello to them and see where you can go from there．F．That means you will get more done and find smarter ways to work．G．And it's as important to press yourself out of your comfort zone by doing specific things．16.

安徽省桐城中学2020届高三上学期模拟考试英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe following 4 famous paintings-from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece-have stood the test of time．The Amolfini PortraitJan van Eyck's Amolfini Portrait，an oil painting on wood produced in 1434，in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her，is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery，London．This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed．It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society，through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business，wives concerned themselves with domestic duties．The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night，oil on canvas （帆布），a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village，during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint - Remy - de - Provence，France between 1889 and 1890．When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941，it was not well known，but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works．The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565．It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September．Nicolaes Jonghelinck，a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp，commissioned this painting．The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919．GuernicaGuernica，a large black-and-white oil painting，was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter，Pablo Picasso in 1937．The title 'Guernica' refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War．The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result，has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war．Today，the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid．1.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest？______A. Guernica．B. The Harvesters．C. The Starry Night．D. The Amolfini Portrait．2.Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons？______A. Pieter Bruegelthe Elder．B. Vincent van Gogh．C. Jan van Eyck．D. Pablo Picasso．3.What do we know about the painting The Starry Night？______A. It was painted on wood in oils．B. It described the painter's life in hospital．C. It wasn't widely recognized before 1941．D. It was given away to the museum by a collector．BAdventure-seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot．When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight，she became so fearful of crutches （拐杖）that she didn't move for three weeks．"I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself．So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day，" says Emma．She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run-a quarterly event that she hasn't missed since 2014．"If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year，one in each season，you get Alpha Wolf status，" explains Emma．"This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I'd lose my status．" So she was willing to try anything to get through the course-even with her injured ankle．"I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel，and he persuaded me to give it a go．Having something to aim for really kept me going．" Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2．0，which is a medically-approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg，allowing users to walk freely．I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery．I could move around the house and start getting out and about again，which had a real impact on my mental well-being．"On the day of the race，Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated．Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up her 23 rd Wolf Run in five years．" It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going，" says Emma．4.Why was Emma frightened to use a crutch？______A. She was afraid of recovering slowly．B. She was warned not to move around．C. She just had an operation on her foot．D. She often got injured when using one．5.What does the underlined word "gutted" mean in Paragraph 2？______A. Extremely sad．B. A bit relieved．C. Very surprised．D. Pretty cheerful．6.What actually made Emma take part in the race？______A. Her new hi-tech artificial leg．B. Her fear of letting her friend down．C. Her strong desire to achieve her ambition．D. Her complete recovery from the operation．7.Which of the following best describes Emma？______A. Strong-willed．B. Supportive．C. Creative．D. Humorous．CErik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr．Paul Gauthier，a plant physiologist specializing in vertical farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming．Humans have 12，000 years of experience growing food，but only a generation or so worth ofexperience growing crops indoors．We are still progressing up the technology learning curve （学习曲线）．What's more，traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming．Therefore，without taking time to understand the science，vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises．The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome．Dr．Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as " pie-in-the-sky" businesses．He famously calculates，for instance，that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high．Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis （光合作用），so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light．Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high，vertical farming does create high efficiencies in other areas．Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again．Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary．It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society．The future is probably mixed．In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer．An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland．In other geographies，though，the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability．A large vertical fanning and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine - year life．8.What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2？______A. It will replace traditional farming one day．B. It relies on research of more basic science．C. It can be applicable on different conditions．D. It actually came into being 12，000 years ago．9.What does Dr．Albright think of vertical farms？______A. They use less light than traditional ones．B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed．C. They can overcome many problems in farming．D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer．10.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？______A. The ways of reducing costs of vertical fanning．B. The secrets of developing vertical farming．C. The recent trend of vertical farming．D. The benefits of vertical farming．11.Why is the example of "an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia" mentioned？______A.

To argue vegetables do not need to be imported any longer．DResearchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth，but it's not Atlantis．They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology，which rises withmountain ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran．The continent is called Greater Adria．It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa，only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago．And chances are you've been there without even knowing it．"Forget Atlantis，said Douwe，study author and professor at Utrecht University．" Without realizing it，vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria．" This area is called Adria by geologists，so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as Greater Adria．Most of Greater Adria was underwater，covered by shallow seas，coral reefs and sediments （沉淀物）．The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas：the Alps，the Apennines，the Balkans，Greece and Turkey．The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago．This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found．In January 2017，researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana，which began breaking apart 200 million years ago．The leftover piece，which was covered in lava （岩浆），is now under Mauritius，an island in the Indian Ocean．And in September 2017，a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific．It's two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea．Greater Adria isn't the first lost continent to be found．But if research in past years shows anything，it likely won't be the last discovery．12.How did the researchers find Greater Adria？______A. They found it accidentally．B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis．C. They discovered it after years of seaching．D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges．13.What do we know about Greater Adria？______A. It is hidden under the sea level．B. It is much smaller than Greenland．C. It has existed for about 240 million years．D. It has been known to many tourists before．14.Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4？______A. To describe how the researchers explored continents．B. To show some other lost continents have been found．C. To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria．D. To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried．15.What is the best title for the text？______A. Atlantis Discovered FinallyB. Undersea World ExploredC. A Hidden Mountain UndiscoveredD. A Lost Continent Found Under Europe二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Easy Ways to Give Yourself a Fresh Start It doesn't need to be complicated or challenging to turn a fresh page on each new day．Whenever we mark a new year-by turning the calendar，returning to school or celebrating a holiday-we are looking for a fresh start．(1) But how？Here are some easy ways to connect withthat feeling of starting fresh，whether it's a new year or simply a new day in our life．(2) This means you have realized what serves your life now and what can stay in your past．Or invest in a new pen and a new notebook．Having fresh supplies can stimulate even the common task of creating your to-do list．Moreover，you can learn something new by opening a book you've been expecting to read，searching a question that's been on your mind，enrolling in a class that motivates your interest．Of course you can simply ask a friend for a fresh idea about an issue．(3)Take a break from technology-for an hour，a day，or a week．(4) You should be able to put some space between yourself and digital routines．One reason we sometimes struggle to start fresh is that you get stuck reflecting on worrisome thoughts about the past，the future or even the present．(5) Allow these thoughts into your day only at a brief （30 minutes or less），specific time．The rest of the time，focus on what you are doing that*s new and positive．How do you give yourself that " fresh start" feeling？A．Electronic Products might not be serving you best．B．Newness or the freshness can guide us on a positive path．C．Limit your daily " worry time" and make an appointment with yourself．D．All of us enjoy newness，but what is it that leads to a sense of freshness？E．Realizing your past mistakes，you should move forward with enthusiasm．F．Increasing your knowledge on any topic means taking your mind into a fresh area．G．First，even letting go of a single box or bag of items can give you a refreshing sense．16.

She is likely to fall down．3.Which is the contact number or email address for those who want to become greatbakers？______A. 925-785-8500．B. 707-963-9278．C. david@fpcnapa．org．D. recruitingangwin@gmail．com．BI was recently surfing the Internet when I came across a collection of strange beach photos where everyone had a cloth wall surrounding their little patch of sand．I had never seen anything like it before，and I was interested in it．So I started searching all sorts of phrases that might throw light on the mystery of Polish beach separators．I found a site on Poland's affairs that actually covered this "phenomenon" in details．According to the site，beach separators have been a part of Polish beach-going culture for a long time，but have recently been getting a lot of attention online，after foreign tourists started posting photos on social networks．Beach separators vary in size according to the size of the group．You'll see tiny ones only surrounding the space around a single beach towel，and giant ones separating a large part of the beach．They weren't designed to protect their users from prying（窥探）eyes．It's no secret that strong winds are very common on the shores of the Baltic Sea，so they were originally meant to allow beach-goers to enjoy sunbathing without having their belongings blown away，or sand blown in their faces．However，in recent years，people have begun criticizing them．During the summer，beach separators are placed so close to each other that a person can hardly pass between them，let alone find a place to put their own beach towels．This creates a problem for foreign tourists unfamiliar with them，who just want a place to lie down on the sand．And thus they can easily create all kinds of conflicts due to the lack of space．For example，some people leave the beach for hours but leave their separators in place to make sure that their space doesn't get occupied by someone else．Having visited a fair number of seaside resorts（度假胜地）across Europe，I admit that I have never seen anything like this before．4.What attracted the author's attention according to the first paragraph？______A. Some phrasesB. The cloth wallsC. The sand patchesD. The colorful stones5.Why did the beach-goes set up separators？______A. To attract others' attentionB. To keep themselves in privatesC. To stop winds disturbing themD. To protect themselves from sunburn6.What seems to be the problem with beach separators？______A. They cause plenty of garbageB. They make the beach overcrowdedC. They leave their separators unattendedD. They lead to many crimes against foreigners7.What's the author's purpose of writing this passage？______A. To encourage the local tourism in PolandB. To introduce a kind of Polish beach cultureC. To discuss the possibilities of solving the beach problemD. To urge the tourism department to face the beach problemCIf you want to be productive，you must complete work．Almost everything we do has many stages to completion and in many situations，you don't actually create value until you finish the last stage．Farmers can't sell their grain until it is harvested．Automakers can't sell cars that have made it 90% of the way through the assembly line（生产线）．Most employers aren't going to pay you for having a degree unless you finished the last class and graduated．Now all those things require starting，but if you have work in progress，the most valuable thing you can do is to pick something and finish it．Finishing is where you start benefiting from the value you've created．I've noticed that many successful people aren't the ones who are the smartest or have the best ideas．They are often the ones who do the best job of taking an idea and completing it．A good idea fully carried out is better than a great idea that never gets completed．Does this mean you need to finish everything you start？Not necessarily，but if you don'tthink something is worth finishing，be honest with yourself and terminate the project．Don't leave hundreds of half finished efforts lying around physically or mentally acting like you are going to come back and pick them up．If you need to drop something ，do so strategically and intentionally．If you've put significant effort into a project，you may still benefit from finishing it even if you wouldn't start it again based on changed circumstances．For example，if you are in your last few months before graduating from college and realize you don't want to career in what you are majoring in，you probably should go ahead and graduate because there is significant value in having the degree---even if you don't intend to actually work in that field．What projects do you have that are currently in progress？Can you find something and finish it？8.Why do many people become successful according to the author？______A. They are the smartestB. They have the best ideasC. They start things smoothlyD. They make ideas fully completed9.What does the underlined word "terminate" in paragraph 3 mean？______A. DevelopB. EndC. PlanD. Support10.According to the author，which of the following is the correct way of creatingvalue？______A. A man decides to finish all he starts to doB. Farmers hurry to sell their crops before they are ripeC. A college student chooses to study until he gets his degreeD. A student keeps a half-filled stamp album around for future use11.What is the best title for the text？______A. Finishing vs．StartingB. Well Begun is Half DoneC. Planning vs．PerformingD. It is Easier Said than DoneDThe Australian beach town of Byron Bay has a traffic problem，especially during holidays，when local streets are full of cars．But now it's changed．The world's first fully solar-powered train runs on a restored（修复）train line that was out of use for more than a decade．The solar systems on the roof of the train send power to a set of batteries that replace one engine；the other engine is still in place and can provide backup power in an emergency．As thetrain brakes，it generates more electricity，like a hybrid car．At a train station，the train can be plugged in to pull more power from solar systems on the platform roof．If there's a long period without sun---somewhat unlikely in this part of the world---the train can also plug in to get renewable energy from the local electricity supply．"The large solar systems on the platform roof coupled with the solar systems on the train roof produce more solar energy per day than is required to operate an hourly return service，" says Holmes，development director of the nonprofit Byron Bay Railroad company，which runs the train．With one full charge，the train can make 12 to 15 trips．Volunteers fully restored the train to its old condition to attract more riders，which should take more cars off city streets of the beach town．The train fits 100 seated passengers，with room for more to stand，and also has a luggage room for bikes and surfboards．A ride costs a little more than ﹩2．The nonprofits thinks it's a model that could be replicated （复制）elsewhere．"Our service has had no government support or funding at all，but for this to be replicated or improved upon，the key is for government to work with enterprises on the program．" Holmes says．"Our service provides an eample of how the sun's energy can be used for sustainable transport solutions．"12.Why is the solar train brought into use in Byron Bay？______A. To attract visitorsB. To reduce trafficC. To fight pollutionD. To use solar energy13.Where does the train get energy on sunless days？______A. From its enginesB. From a hybrid carC. From the platform roofD. From the local electricity supply14.How does Holmes feel about solar energy equipment？______A. It is labor-savingB. It is easily operatedC. It is time-consumingD. It is power guaranteed15.What can be inferred about the solar-powered train from the last paragraph？______A. It may be popularized in the futureB. More scientific research should be done about itC. It could be of little use in solving energy problems．D.

安徽省桐城市某中学2020届高三模拟考试英语试卷

英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AParents and kids today dress alike，listen to the same music，and are friends．Is this a good thing？Sometimes，when Mr．Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter，Elizabeth，listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy，such as pop culture．he remember his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager．"I would never have said to my mom，'Hey，the new Weezer album is really great．How do you like it？'"says Ballmer．"There was just a complete gap in taste．"Music was not the only gulf．From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits．Today，the generation gap has not disappeared，but it is getting narrow in many families．Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago．Now they are comfortable and common．And parent-child activities，from shopping to sports，involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood．No wonder greeting cards today carry the message，"To my mother，my best friend．"But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents．"There's still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there，but there is a change happening，"says Kerrie，a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College．"In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents．"Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes．They see the 1960s as a turning point．Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say．"My parents were on the‘before'side of that change，but today's parents，the 40-year-olds，were on the‘after'side，"explains Mr．Ballmer．"It's not something easily accomplished by parents these days，because life is more difficult to understand or deal with，but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now．"1.What can we learn about Mr．Ballmer in Paragraph 1 ？______A. He and Elizabeth both 1ike Weezer．B. He had different interests with his mom．C. He had a bad relationship with his mom．D. He liked talking about music with his mom．2.What does the underlined word"democratic"probably mean？______A. Equal．B. Peaceful．C. Active．D. Considerate．3.The passage is mainly about ______ ．A. the problems of parent-child relationshipB. the strategies for parent-child relationshipsC. the development of parent-child relationshipD. the ways for parents to handle parent-child problemsBOwning a lovable，cute pet can unquestionably make one's home life better and obviously，it can affect pet owners'professional lives as well．In fact，according to a new survey，people who have owned pets may be more professionally successful，and this is definitely good news for ambitious pet parents．The survey was conducted by Kelton Global Research for Banfield Pet Hospital，according to Fast Company．The researchers surveyed 857 adults in the United States with a variety of careers，as explained in the survey summary on Banfield's website．Among the C-suite executives（CEOs，etc．）surveyed，93 percent grew with a pet in their home，with 78 percent claiming that growing up with a pet helped cause their career suceess as an adult．Interestingly，83 percent of C-suite executives who participated said they grew up with a dog，59 percent of them said they grew up with a cat，and 37 percent of them said they grew up with another kind of pet．（You're correct these numbers do not add up．It would seem that many of the people interviewed grew up with multiple kinds of pets．）So，how exactly does pet ownership cause career success？Well，according to Banfield's research，executives reported that their pet helped teach them lessons like responsibility，creativity，empathy，discipline，and organization，which have all been valuable in the business world．But what about people who grew up pet-less，but have adopted pets as adults？Luckily for those，the survey showed that current pet ownership can also help with professional success．According to the research，86 percent of current pet parents surveyed said owning pets helps them stick to a routine，better manage their time，and multitask more efficiently．But even if you don't think your pet ham directly helped you，your coworkers'knowledge that yon have a pet may actually be beneficial for your career．In fact，80 percent of people surveyed said they"feel more connected to colleagues who are pet owners，"and 79 percent of those surveyed believe that fellow co-workers who have pets are"hard workers．"4.What do the figures in Paragraph 2 show？______A. There is a rising demand for pets．B. Owning pets can make for professional success．C. More and more CEOs become aware of pots'effects．D. Pets become commercialized among C-suite executives．5.What can we learn from this passage？______A. The research is based on people from many walks in the world．B. Keeping pets provides the most valuable lessons for career．C. Pet ownership hardly benefits those who keep pets as adults．D. People who own a pet tend to get along well with colleagues．6.What is the author's attitude toward keeping a pet？______A. Indifferent．B. Critical．C. Objective．D. Concerned．CSome of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders．For example，Google（Sergey Brin and Larry Page），Apple（Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs），and Microsoft（Bill Gates and Paul Allen）and so on．Having partners can help to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business．No matter how down on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support．They may have extra skills，and be on hand to help out with the day-to-day problems．And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being overlooked．Everybody knows Samsungs Galaxy Note 7．When the phone was launched in 2016，customers praised it for its storage，design and usability，and it may well have bean a hit if it weren't for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and exploded．It was soon banned immediately from flights，and Samsung had no choice but to recall the entire model．The shortcoming reportedly cost the company﹩1 billion，and a further ﹩17 billion in lost sales．But remember，based on the lesson，the Galaxy Note8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world! Now we know that failing is part of business success．One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed many times-and luckily，they bounced back．Take Sarah Blakely，founder of shapewear brand Spanx for example．She credits her business success specifically to her failures．"I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long，"she remembered．"People would tear up my business card in my face．But my friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created．I learned that‘no'doesn't always mean 'no'，and that you may get 30 nos before you get the one yes．People told me no with Spanx for twoyears．"Spanx is worth just over ﹩1 billion-it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in a law school started with just ﹩5 000!7.What can we learn from the examples in Paragraph 1？______A. Two heads are better than one．B. Constant dropping wears the stone．C. God helps those who help themselves．D. All things are difficult before they are easy．8.Why does the author mention Samsungs Galaxy Note 7，8 and 9？______A. To suggest customers should follow the new trends．B. To prove Samsung is responsible for customers．C. To show Samsung paid for its product failure．D. To explain that failures don't spell the end．9.What mainly contributed to Sarah Blakely's success？______A. Her friends'help．B. Her will power．C. Her good luck．D. Her education background．10.How does the author develop the passage？______A. By making contrast．B. By making classification．C. By giving examples．D. By giving numbers．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Imagine you receive an e-mail that looks something like this：ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY？How does reading this message make you feel？Was he or she angry or did that person just forget to turn off the 'Caps Lock'on the computer？The fact is that this e-mail"sounds"like the writer is shouting because using all capital letters in an e-mail is usually the way that people shout online．Knowing when to and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette （规矩）often called netiquette．(1) Following are some of her suggestions．First always remember that you are sending messages to a real person not just to a computer．Don't type anything that you wouldn't say to someone's face．(2) So make sure your meaning is clear．Don't do anything online that you wouldn't do in real life．Don't take anything without paying for it unless it's free．Don't read other people's e-mail-you wouldn't you're your next-door neighbor's mailbox and open their mail right？And do share your knowledge of the Internet with others．(3) (4) Good writing skills as well as correct grammar and spelling do matter．Send polite well-written e-mail messages to others．If you're uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrase to use，look it up．There are lots of helpful books and websites．It's okay to express your opinions online in forums like chat rooms or message boards for example"MSN"or"QQ"but don't start arguments with people．(5) But they are often unfair to other members of the group．Express your ideas but remember that fighting on or offline is just not right．A．Remember you're not the only one online．B．"Flame wars"in online discussion can be interesting to read．C．Try to respect others，such as their space，privacy，and feelings．D．It's a big place with lots of information and there fire many flew things to discover．E．Remember that people judge you by your words and your actions，so do try to white wall．F．Also remember that he cannot hear the tone of your voice or see the expressive on your face．G．Virginia Shea's book Netiquette lists a basic set of dos and don'ts for communicating rightly with others online．11.

2020届安徽省桐城中学高三下学期第三次模拟考试英语试卷(Word版)

安徽省桐城中学2020届高三下学期第三次模拟考试英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题，共25.0分)Though I know that I can do little to help the animals， I often check dog rehoming websites． Looking through page upon page of pitiful faces looking up， you might be thinking that the only dogs to be abandoned in this country are fierce-looking or large and unruly dogs．Recently， it seems there are some new additions in dog homes． Dogs Trust --- the country's largest dog welfare charity --- says that in the past year over 400 "toy dogs" were handed in， a 44% increase on the year before．"Toy dog" is the traditional term for all little dogs， but in recent years they've increasingly been referred to as "handbag dogs" after the ridiculous manner in which famous people like Paris Hilton carry them around in their ＄ 1，000 handbags， making these dogs the most wanted for impressionable teens． As the popularity of Hilton has waned， however， these dogs are being rudely tipped out of the handbags and given up to charity．In spite of the sad ending that this trend brings for some of these dogs， it can only be a good thing if people become aware that the toy types are still dogs，not dolls to be carried around． If you really are prepared to stick with them，a small dog is just as capable of bringing joy without the need to dress him or her up． A large dog won't sit on your lap while you read the papers or travel happily on the train with you． And a park full of pugs （哈巴狗） would be a happier and safer place than one full of teenage boys and badly trained large dogs． As Edith Wharton said， "My little dog --- a heartbeat at my feet．"1. What is the author's new finding in the dog rehoming websites？ ______A. More "handbag dogs" are given up．B. Some dogs in Dogs Trust are large dogs．C. Teens are likely to play with their "toy dogs"．D. The number of abandoned dogs is increasing．2. What does the underlined word "waned" in the third paragraph most probably mean？ ______A. grown．B. weakened．C. begun．D. worked．3.

安徽省安庆市桐城市2020年高考英语模拟试题[含答案]

安徽省安庆市桐城市2020年高考英语模拟试题一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AIn this age of Internet chat， videogames and reality television， there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied． Yet， despite the competition， my -year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories． She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest， a competition she won last year．As a writer I know about winning contests， and about losing them． I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher． I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories． What if she doesn't win the contest again ？That's the strange thing about being a parent．So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface．A revelation（启示）came last week when I asked her， " Don't you want to win again ？" No， " she replied， " I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade．"I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously（自发地）told them． Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall， I offered suggestions for characters， conflicts and endings for her tales． The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly "guided" by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson． I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it．Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks． Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade， I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting（借用）my daughter's experience．While stepping back was difficult for me， it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps， putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked． All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment， grow and find their own voices．1.What do we learn from the first paragraph？ ______A. A lot of distractions compete for children's time nowadays．B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities．C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time．D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing．2.What did the author say about her own writing experience？ ______A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more．B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers．C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer．D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations．3.Why did Rebecca want to enter this year's writing contest？ ______A. She had won a prize in the previous contest．B. She wanted to share her stories with readers．C. She was sure of winning with her mother's help．D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing．BSeveral months ago I decided it would be wise to investigate the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy， if for no other reason than because I understood it might be a good investment． I got the name of an insurance agent from a friend and called the agent to get some information．From the kinds of questions I put to him， the agent would tell that I knew nothing about insurance so he kindly offered to explore the matter with me in more detail． -to help me determine the kind of policy I ought to be considering．That evening he appeared at my door promptly at 7：30； without wasting time on amenities he spread his papers out on the kitchen table and launched into a lengthy explanation． I listened attentively as he talked about the difference between various types of policies， and he explained the kind of coverage he felt I ought to have because of my age bracket and financial objectives．Toward the end of the evening （after three or four hours of talking）， he kindly helped me fill out an application for a 50，000 dollar policy， and then he asked if I could go to a Dr． Luther's office on Friday for a physical examination．I don't know why， but it was not until the mention of the doctor's appointment that I realized fully what was happening． I was about to sign a lifetime contract yet I had not really made a decision about whether I wanted to buy the policy or not． As a matter of fact， the question of the need for a decision from me one way or the other had not even come up． Suddenly I felt sure that I definitely did not want to buy the policy． However， since he had spent so much time with me， I didn't want to make him feel that he had wasted his time． So I invented an excuse about things I had to do on Friday， and I assured him I would call him in a few days． Actually， I had no intention of going to see Dr． Luther or of calling the agent again． I wanted to forget the whole thing．It's been over three months now since our meeting， and my friendly insurance agent still calls at my office faithfully two or three times a week． My secretary knows that I don't want to talk to him， so when he calls she tells him that I'm in a meeting or that I'm out of the office or that I'm away on a business trip． I realize now that it was a mistake not to tell him outright that I'm not interested， and please not to bother me any more， all I can dois to avoid his calls and hope I don't run into him someplace．4.The writer phoned the insurance agent because ______ ．A. He wanted to fill out an application for a life insurance policy．B. He had decided to buy a life insurance policy．C. He wanted to explore the possibilities of buying a life insurancepolicy．D. He took great interest in the insurance company．5.According to the passage， the agent was ______ ．A. an experienced salesmanB. kind but inexperiencedC. ineffectiveD. easy to deal with6.The writer didn't tell the agent the truth because ______ ．A. he was afraid of him．B. he felt embarrassed to do so．C. he thought it none of the agent's business．D. he didn't wish to lose the agents friendship．7.The writer realizes that ______ ．A. he should have told the truth to the agent earlier．B. he should buy the policy．C. the agent is a real friend．D. insurance is but swindle（骗局）CThe letter arrives from a school that your son told you is his dream school．You dare not open it， instead， you hand it to him when he arrives home from school． You watch as his eyes light up and you know this is the beginning of something． You are just not sure what． Your son insists that the coach must really want him since he took the time to write him a letter． Is this in fact true？ Did he write other kids and if so how many？ How would you know？The simple fact of the matter is that you can read very little into that first letter． Coaches cast a wide net in the first few stages of the recruiting（录取）cycle． That letter may in fact， be the first and last time your son ever hears from that particular coach． Think about it： if he has not seen your sons transcripts or his standardized test scores， if you have not visited the school， if he has no knowledge of your financial needs， can it be anything significant？So how do you treat these letters or emails？ Is there some format you can apply？ Say tor instance， three letters mean real interest…or three letters and a call means a greater degree of interest？My experience in deal with cases of various applications is that answers will not come automatically． Call the coach and find out how real the interest in fact is． "Is my son a top recruit in your mind？" "How many players at his position will you be recruiting this year？ " By asking these simple and direct questions， you as a parent， will have established a dialogue and hopefully figured out how much interest， if any really exists．However， here comes the challenge． Applicants and parents are vague with coaches about their intention and level of interest all the time． In fact， the coach's situation is no less confusing than yours． He is fighting a similar battle on multiple choices．There is little clarity on either end．Enjoy that first letter． Let's hope it is one of many and let's hope you apply a bit of realism with a bit of wishful thinking about how happy your son should be when this is all over．8.How did the parent feel about the letter that his son got from his dreamedschool？ ______A. expectantB. hesitantC. doubtfulD. hopeful9.According to the passage， by calling the coach， parents car ______ ．A. determine the level of interest from coachB. build up a communication with the coachC. identify the real intention of the coachD. understand more about the situation of the coach10.The author of the passage is most likely to be ______ ．A. a consultant to help students with their applicationB. a parent with similar experiencesC. a school authority that supervises the applicationD. a coach in charge of the application11.The purpose of the passage is to ______ ．A. remind parents of the importance of the first letter from coachesB. tell parents how to react to the first letter from coachesC. advise parents to ignore the first letter from coachesD. warn parents to be realistic towards the first letter from coachesDSince we are social beings， the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships．One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances． Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties．Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily difficulties． People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties． Studies over a range of illnesses， from depression to heart disease， show that the presence of social support helps people protect themselves from illness， and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely．Social support cushions stress in a number of ways． First， friends，relatives， and co-workers may let us know that they value us． Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties．Second， other people often provide us with informational support． They help us to explain and understand our problems and find solutions to them． Third，we typically find social companionship supportive． Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting（转移……注意力）us from our worries and troubles． Finally， other people may give us instrumental support-financial aid， material resources，and needed services-that reduces stress by helping us solve and deal with our problems．12.Research shows that people's physical and mental health has much to do with______ ．A. the social medical systemB. the amount of support they get from othersC. their strength for dealing with interpersonal tiesD. their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles13.The underlined word "cushions" probably means" ______ "．A. adds up toB. lessens the effect ofC. does away withD. lays the foundation for14.Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is

安徽省桐城中学2020届高三下学期第五次模拟考试英语试卷

安徽省桐城中学2020届高三下学期第五次模拟考试英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe Worlds' Best Bookshops There's nothing like being surrounded by books，wherever you are．Here are the finest oases of literature that travellers can bring you．Daikanyama T-site | TokyoIt is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful，crisscrossed architecture．Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors' worth of bookshelves，there's the bar，the coffee shop，or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer．Grab a book，order a beer and dive into its pages．I could have stayed hours here．City Lights | San FranciscoThe three-storey establishment publishes and sells titles in poetry，fiction，translation，politics，history and the arts．It hosts events and readings，and runs a non-profit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature．It's opposite Vesuvio，a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat-generation writers and artists．Shakespeare and Company | ParisI made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris．It has two floors packed with English-language texts，and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space devoted to notes from visitors - heartfelt messages to a loved one，dedications to the shop itself，or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher．Hutatma Chowk | MumbaiA few years ago I visited India，investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country．I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarp-covered book stalls at Hutatma Chowk （Martyrs' Square）．The booksellers here are like amateur librarians，able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for．To me，those well-thumbed （翻旧了的）books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the 150 years since the city gave us Kipling．1.In which bookshop can you buy a drink while visiting？______A. Daikanyama T-siteB. City LightsC. Shakespeare and CompanyD. Hutatma Chowk2.What can be learned about the book stalls at Hutatma Chowk？______A. People can meet Rudyard Kipling there．B. They sell the cheapest books in the world．C. The book owners are amateur librarians．D. The sellers are familiar with the books．3.What do the four bookstores have in common？______A. They are beautifully designed．B. They are three-storey buildings．C. They offer book lovers good experience．D. They are frequently visited by great writers．BHoward Weistling wanted to be a comic strip （连环漫画）artist．But when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor，he joined the Army．After flight engineer training，Howard was shipped off to Europe．On his maiden flight，his plane was shot down over Austria．The entire crew of eight men landed safely．But a farmer found Howard hiding in his barn and turned him over to a prison of war camp in Barth，Germany．It was freezing and the men almost starved to death eating the guards' garbage．Hungry and homesick Howard coped the only way he knew how．He drew a comic strip．The book，made of cigarette wrappers bound together with scrap metal，was sent around the camp．Every couple of days he would add a new panel．One panel at a time would be passed around the whole camp．And they'd have something to look forward to．After an entire year of this，they woke one morning to find their guards gone．They fled and Howard finally got to go home．Just lucky to get out alive，he left the book behind．Back home in California，Howard soon had a wife and kids to feed so he had to set aside his dream of becoming an artist．He took a job as a gardener instead．Morgan shared his father's artistic gifts．At 15 his parents sent him to art school．And Howard got to see his son become a well-known painter before he died in 2002．That's how，seven decades after the war，when a stranger in New York googled the name "Weistling，" he found Morgan online．"I get an email from a gentleman and he says，‘ I think I may have some drawings your father did when he was a POW （prisoner of war）in World War II，'" Morgan recalls．"‘Would you like them？' And I just stared at that email and started crying．"Luckily Howard had engraved his name on the comic book，which is how the man from New York City had connected with Morgan．A couple of days later when it arrived in California，Morgan couldn't believe it．"It was like getting my father back，" Morgan says．"It was like him being able to tell me the story over again - only this time it was real in my hands．"4.The passage details Howard's life as a POW to show that ______ ．A. war cannot stop his pursuit of successB. passion for art helped ease his sufferingsC. loss of freedom encouraged his creativityD. misery drives him to fight against his fate5.What can we infer about Howard's comic strip in prison？______A. It satisfied prisoners' curiosity．B. It aroused the guards' sympathy．C. It was popular among the prisoners．D. It raised prisoners' confidence in freedom．6.What contributes to the stranger's success in finding Morgan？______A. The email from a gentleman．B. Howard's experience in the war．C. Morgan's recalling of his father．D. Morgan's status in the field of art．7.What can we infer about Morgan from the last paragraph？______A. He didn't believe the stranger's story．B. He was excited to get the comic strip．C. He couldn't wait to tell others his good news．D. He hadn't heard about his father's war stories．CYour brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you．Now，it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old．A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their real age．Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine-learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age．To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife，Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive （认知的）testing since they were 3 years old．When the volunteers，all aged between 43 and 46，underwent MRI brain scans，the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71．Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition，memory and IQ．The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly，and vice versa （反之亦然）．However，the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngest-looking brains．This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life．Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia （痴呆）to be started sooner．This means treatments might have a better chance of working．We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing，but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise，these aren't a bad place to start．8.What helps predict the speed of one's brain ageing？______A. One's health condition．B. A test result at the age of 3．C. The actual age of one's brain．D. A machine for medical check．9.What is the purpose of Elliott's research？______A. To find out why people look older or younger．B. To measure people's brain age at different stages．C. To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines．D. To explore the relationship between brain age and future health．10.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？______A. The influence of cognitive tests．B. The procedure of Elliott's study．C. The information about volunteers．D. The findings of the brain research．11.What do the findings of the research imply？______A. We should test our brain age earliest possible．B. People suffering dementia can go on working．C. Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age．D. Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing．DOne of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so-called Mozart effect，which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence．Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies．And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development．He was history's greatest child genius，performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"．So，if you have kids or you're expecting to have them，how seriously should you take the Mozart effect？Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle （摇篮）be limited to an ordinary life？Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart？Relax．There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities．The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993，which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的）skills．This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician，Don Campbell，in a book．Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart-based enrichment activities．In 1998，for example，the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical-music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state．Since then，scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it．The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999，and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible．In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development，and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．12.People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he ______ ．A. owned extraordinary music talentB. could perform music as a childC. offered music to pregnant womenD. was an royal Austrian composer13.What can we know about the small study in 1993？______A. It added to the popularity of Mozart's music．B. It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect．C. It helped college students make academic progress．D. It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music．14.What does the underlined word "negligible" probably mean？______A. Sudden．B. Insignificant．C. Average．D. Steady．15.What can be the best title for the text？______A. New Findings：Mozart Effect to Be ProvedB. Secrets Uncovered：History of Mozart EffectC. Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter？D. How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence？二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Your comfort zone is a behavioral space where your activities and behaviors fit a routine and pattern that minimizes stress and risk．(1) You benefit in obvious ways：regular happiness，low anxiety，and reduced stress．Leaving your comfort zone can have very positive results，though．For one thing，you'll surely be more productive if you're willing to move out of it．With the sense of unease that comes from having deadlines and expectations，you'll have the drive and ambition to do more and learn new things．(2) For another，learning to live outside your comfort zone can prepare you for life changes that force you out of it．Fear and uncertainty always exist in our life．By challenging yourself to things you normally wouldn't do，you can experience some of that uncertainty in a controlled and manageable environment．While outside your comfort zone can be a good place to be，(3) ．You can start by doing everyday things differently．For example，you can take a different route to work or try a new restaurant．Besides，you should remember to break out in small steps．You get the same benefits whether you go with long strides （大步）or you start slow．If you're socially anxious，don't suppose you have to gather the courage to ask your crush （爱慕之人）on a date right away．(4) Identify your fears，and then face them step by step．Trying new things is difficult，so it's important to understand how habits form and how we can break them．(5)A．It provides a state of mental security．B．it's of great necessity to find ways to break out of itC．it's a pleasant experience to stay in the comfort zoneD．You have to manage that stress and risk in a clever way．E．Just say hello to them and see where you can go from there．F．That means you will get more done and find smarter ways to work．G．And it's as important to press yourself out of your comfort zone by doing specific things．16.

安徽省安庆市桐城市2020届高考英语模拟试卷含答案

英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AIn this age of Internet chat，videogames and reality television，there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied．Yet，despite the competition，my -year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories．She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest，a competition she won last year．As a writer I know about winning contests，and about losing them．I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher．I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories．What if she doesn't win the contest again ？That's the strange thing about being a parent．So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface．A revelation（启示）came last week when I asked her，" Don't you want to win again ？" No，" she replied，" I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade．"I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously（自发地）told them．Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall，I offered suggestions for characters，conflicts and endings for her tales．The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly "guided" by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson．I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it．Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks．Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade，I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting（借用）my daughter's experience．While stepping back was difficult for me，it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps，putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked．All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment，grow and find their own voices．1.What do we learn from the first paragraph？______A. A lot of distractions compete for children's time nowadays．B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities．C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time．D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing．2.What did the author say about her own writing experience？______A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more．B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers．C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer．D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations．3.Why did Rebecca want to enter this year's writing contest？______A. She had won a prize in the previous contest．B. She wanted to share her stories with readers．C. She was sure of winning with her mother's help．D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing．BSeveral months ago I decided it would be wise to investigate the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy，if for no other reason than because I understood it might be a good investment．I got the name of an insurance agent from a friend and called the agent to get some information．From the kinds of questions I put to him，the agent would tell that I knew nothing about insurance so he kindly offered to explore the matter with me in more detail．-to help me determine the kind of policy I ought to be considering．That evening he appeared at my door promptly at 7：30；without wasting time on amenities he spread his papers out on the kitchen table and launched into a lengthy explanation．I listened attentively as he talked about the difference between various types of policies，and he explained the kind of coverage he felt I ought to have because of my age bracket and financial objectives．Toward the end of the evening （after three or four hours of talking），he kindly helped me fill out an application for a 50，000 dollar policy，and then he asked if I could go to a Dr．Luther's office on Friday for a physical examination．I don't know why，but it was not until the mention of the doctor's appointment that I realized fully what was happening．I was about to sign a lifetime contract yet I had not really made a decision about whether I wanted to buy the policy or not．As a matter of fact，the question of the need for a decision from me one way or the other had not even come up．Suddenly I felt sure that I definitely did not want to buy the policy．However，since he had spent so much time with me，I didn't want to make him feel that he had wasted his time．So I invented an excuse about things I had to do on Friday，and I assured him I would call him in a few days．Actually，I had no intention of going to see Dr．Luther or of calling the agent again．I wanted to forget the whole thing．It's been over three months now since our meeting，and my friendly insurance agent still calls at my office faithfully two or three times a week．My secretary knows that I don't want to talk to him，so when he calls she tells him that I'm in a meeting or that I'm out of the office or that I'm away on a business trip．I realize now that it was a mistake not to tell him outright that I'm not interested，and please not to bother me any more，all I can do is to avoid his calls and hope I don't run into him someplace．4.The writer phoned the insurance agent because ______ ．A. He wanted to fill out an application for a life insurance policy．B. He had decided to buy a life insurance policy．C. He wanted to explore the possibilities of buying a life insurance policy．D. He took great interest in the insurance company．5.According to the passage，the agent was ______ ．A. an experienced salesmanB. kind but inexperiencedC. ineffectiveD. easy to deal with6.The writer didn't tell the agent the truth because ______ ．A. he was afraid of him．B. he felt embarrassed to do so．C. he thought it none of the agent's business．D. he didn't wish to lose the agents friendship．7.The writer realizes that ______ ．A. he should have told the truth to the agent earlier．B. he should buy the policy．C. the agent is a real friend．D. insurance is but swindle（骗局）CThe letter arrives from a school that your son told you is his dream school．You dare not open it，instead，you hand it to him when he arrives home from school．You watch as his eyes light up and you know this is the beginning of something．You are just not sure what．Your son insists that the coach must really want him since he took the time to write him a letter．Is this in fact true？Did he write other kids and if so how many？How would you know？The simple fact of the matter is that you can read very little into that first letter．Coaches cast a wide net in the first few stages of the recruiting（录取）cycle．That letter may in fact，be the first and last time your son ever hears from that particular coach．Think about it：if he has not seen your sons transcripts or his standardized test scores，if you have not visited the school，if he has no knowledge of your financial needs，can it be anything significant？So how do you treat these letters or emails？Is there some format you can apply？Say tor instance，three letters mean real interest…or three letters and a call means a greater degree of interest？My experience in deal with cases of various applications is that answers will not come automatically．Call the coach and find out how real the interest in fact is．"Is my son a top recruit in your mind？" "How many players at his position will you be recruiting this year？" By asking these simple and direct questions，you as a parent，will have established a dialogue and hopefully figured out how much interest，if any really exists．However，here comes the challenge．Applicants and parents are vague with coaches about their intention and level of interest all the time．In fact，the coach's situation is no less confusing than yours．He is fighting a similar battle on multiple choices．There is little clarity on either end．Enjoy that first letter．Let's hope it is one of many and let's hope you apply a bit of realism with a bit of wishful thinking about how happy your son should be when this is all over．8.How did the parent feel about the letter that his son got from his dreamed school？______A. expectantB. hesitantC. doubtfulD. hopeful9.According to the passage，by calling the coach，parents car ______ ．A. determine the level of interest from coachB. build up a communication with the coachC. identify the real intention of the coachD. understand more about the situation of the coach10.The author of the passage is most likely to be ______ ．A. a consultant to help students with their applicationB. a parent with similar experiencesC. a school authority that supervises the applicationD. a coach in charge of the application11.The purpose of the passage is to ______ ．A. remind parents of the importance of the first letter from coachesB. tell parents how to react to the first letter from coachesC. advise parents to ignore the first letter from coachesD. warn parents to be realistic towards the first letter from coachesDSince we are social beings，the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships．One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances．Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties．Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily difficulties．People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties．Studies over a range of illnesses，from depression to heart disease，show that the presence of social support helps people protect themselves from illness，and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely．Social support cushions stress in a number of ways．First，friends，relatives，and co-workers may let us know that they value us．Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties．Second，other people often provide us with informational support．They help us to explain and understand our problems and find solutions to them．Third，we typically find social companionship supportive．Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting（转移……注意力）us from our worries and troubles．Finally，other people may give us instrumental support-financial aid，material resources，and needed services-that reduces stress by helping us solve and deal with our problems．12.Research shows that people's physical and mental health has much to do with ______ ．A. the social medical systemB. the amount of support they get from othersC. their strength for dealing with interpersonal tiesD. their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles13.The underlined word "cushions" probably means" ______ "．A. adds up toB. lessens the effect ofC. does away withD. lays the foundation for14.Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of ______ ．A. important supportB. informational supportC. social activityD. the strengthening of self-respect15.Social companionship is beneficial in that ______ ．A. it helps strengthen our ties with relativesB. it enables us to get rid of our faults and mistakesC. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyableD. it draws our attention away from our worries and troubles二、单选题（本大题共30小题，共90.0分）16.It was a long time before the cut on my hand______

英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AAttractive lakeside cottages and cabinsLafitte's Landing Guest Quarters，Uncertain，TexasThere are five cottages featuring high ceilings and spacious bedrooms．Lafitte's is a certified Backyard Wildlife Habitat，so you don't have to go far for bird-watching．Explore the lake on a steamboat，or head to Caddo Lake State Park for night adventures such as Owl Nights and Bat Watches．Rates：Summer nightly rates range from ﹩559 to ﹩1，899Lake Placid Lodge，Lake Placid，New YorkWith 17 cabins sitting along the shores of Lake Placid，the arts-and-crafts-style Lake Placid Lodge offers an exciting summer lake experience．Lakefront cabins come outfitted with hand-built beds and stone fireplaces．Go for a hike，or hit the lake for swimming，fishing，or boating．Rates：Rates are ﹩120 per night for double occupancy；each additional person is ﹩20 per night．Lake Crescent Lodge，Olympic National Park，WashingtonIts cottages and cabins are listed on the National Register of Historic Places．Choose between one-and two-bedroom Singer Tavern Cottages，or stay in the always favored （and often booked）Roosevelt Fireplace Cabins．Spend your days hiking in the surrounding Olympic National Park，or exploring Lake Crescent by boat．Rates：Nightly rates for cottages and cabins range between ﹩317 and ﹩398．Tamarack Lodge Resort，Mammoth Lakes，CaliforniaIt is on the peaceful shores of the Twin Lakes．Choose between recently built Deluxe Cabins and old wood-and-stone cabins．Swimming，fishing，boating，biking，and hiking are popular pastimes．Rates：Summer cabin rates range from ﹩369 to ﹩999 per night．1.Where can you observe bats at night？A.

At the Twin Lakes2.If three people share one room in Lake Placid Lodge，how much will they pay？A. ﹩60B. ﹩120C. ﹩140D. ﹩3603.Which of the following is difficult to reserve？A. Cottages at Lafitte's Landing Guest QuartersB. Cabins at Lake Placid LodgeC. Deluxe CabinsD. Roosevelt Fireplace CabinsBGrowing up，I thought math class was something to be endured，not enjoyed．I disliked memorizing formulas（公式）and taking tests，all for the dull goal of getting a good grade．One of my teachers told my mother that I was "slow"．But my problem wasn't with math itself．In fact，when a topic seemed particularly interesting，I would go to the library and read more about it．By high school，no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician．What I wanted to do then was to play college football．My ambition was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school．The chances of that happening were very low．But that didn't stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal，and preparing and pushing me to work for it．They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country．In the end， a Big Ten school，Penn State，did offer me a scholarship．I wish math teachers were more like football coaches．Students are affected by more than just the quality of a lesson plan．They also respond to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers，and they seek a sense of purpose．They benefit from specific instructions and constant feedback（反馈）．Until I got to college，I didn't really know what mathematics was．I still thought of it as laborious （耗时费力的）calculations．Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I think about a particular problem．It wasn't easy，but it was fascinating．My professor kept giving me problems，and I kept pursuing them，even though I couldn't always solve them immediately．The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms．Instead，it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy．It gave me that same sense of wonder and curiosity，and it rewarded creativity．I am now a Ph．D candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology．4.Why did the writer think math class in school was "something to be endured" before enteringcollege？A. Because he wasn't interested in math．B. Because his math teachers didn't care to push him．C. Because he was too smart and talented for math class．D. Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship．5.According to the writer，students are affected by the following things from teachers orcoachesEXCEPT ______ ．A. a sense of purposeB. constant feedbackC. passionD. specific instructions6.We can conclude that after entering college，the writer ______ ．A. was busy looking for math problems to solveB. studied on his own just as he was in high schoolC. met with laborious calculations in his studiesD. began to realize what mathematics really is7.What is the best title for the text？A. Interest is the best teacherB. Be the best-you can make itC. Math，taught like footballD. Once your teacher，always your teacherCYou have probably read about robots replacing human labor as a new era of automation takes root in one industry after another．But a new report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs．In New Zealand，farmers are using drones（无人机）to herd and monitor cows and sheep，taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century．The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely，Radio New Zealand reports，but they have appropriated（盗用）oneof the animal's most powerful tools：barking．The DJI Mavic Enterprise，a ﹩3，500 drone favoredby farmers，has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and play them over a loudspeaker，giving the machine the ability to act as the dogs．Corey Lambeth，a shepherd on a farm，told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective．"That's the one thing I've noticed when you're moving cows that the old cows stand up to the dogs，but with the drones，they've never done that，" he said，noting the drones move cows faster，with less stress，than the dogs do．The drones come in handy for more than just herding（放牧）cows and sheep．The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar，monitoring water and feed levels and checking on the animals' health without disturbing them．Jason Rentoul told RNZ that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone．"Being a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done on foot，the drones really saved a lot of man hours，" he said．For now，farmers say，there is still a need for herding dogs，primarily because they have a longer life span than drones，can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge．8.What is the main advantage of the drones over herding dogs？______A. The drones can take up a job that the dogs hardly do well any longer．B. The drones can frighten the old cows which are not afraid of the dogs．C. The drones can finish a herding job more efficiently than the dogs．D. The drones can work on a hilly farm and extreme weather while the dogs can't．9.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？______A. Herding dogs will gradually lose their position on the farmland．B. The drones can only copy the dogs' barking with the current technology．C. The drones are multi-functional and leave the animals undisturbed．D. The market for the DJI Mavic Enterprise is pretty small because of its high price．10.According to the passage，why can't the drones replace the dogs entirely？______A. Because the drones can't bark as loudly as the dogs do．B. Because cows are not used to seeing the drones．C. Because the drones are much more expensive than the animal．D. Because the drones' power is limited and they need charging from time to time．11.Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowards the drones in the passage？______A. supportiveB. objectiveC. criticalD. doubtfulDRecently I rolled into a local restaurant to try an Impossible Burger，an all-plant patty（人造肉饼）invented by Impossible Foods．It's well known for having an strangely chewy（有咀嚼感），even bloody，meat-like quality，a surprising verisimilitude（逼真）that has made it "perhaps the country's most famous burger，" as New York magazine wrote．One bite into its wonderful，smoky taste and，damn，I was convinced．This is good news，because the time has come to consume fake meat．In the fight against climate change，meat replacement is something we can try．A University of Oxford study recently found that，to keep global warming below 2 degrees this century，we need to be eating 75 percent less beef and 90 percent less pork．However，diets are culturally enshrined，so changing them will be hard．It isn't easy to replace 75 to 90 percent of beef and pork with fake meat．The first taste of an Impossible Burger-a moment when low expectations work a powerful magic in the product's favor-is one thing．But how do you keep meat-eaters asking for more after their sixth，and their 26th？To get to true mass adoption，fake meat will need to compete favorably with the real thing on multiple fronts．Impossible Foods' goal is to drive the price of its product below that of Safeway's 80/20 hamburger meat，at which point people will simply vote with their wallets．The new industry also wants to improve on animal flesh in various ways．Fake meat has an advantage over traditional meat because "you won't need to refrigerate it" cofounder Niko Koffeman says．Plus，custom（定制的）production could improve choice．"You could have very soft and tender meat for elderly people，" Koffeman adds．"You could have a tailored meat for whatever you need．" You can tell the world is shifting this way，because the ranchers（牧场主）are nervous．Last year，the US Cattlemen's Association asked the government to define "meat" as a product "coming directly from animals．" That anxiety-and the power of the science driving it-goes to show that this grand shift isn't impossible．12.According to passage，the author was convinced by the Impossible Burger because ______ ．A. it has a special taste that is different from normal ones．B. it contains all non-meat materials that taste like meat．C. more vegetables are used as main materials for the burger．D. one bite of this burger can provide people with the energy needed for a whole day．13.What does the author mean by saying "Diets are culturally enshrined"？A. That people think their diet is the best in the world．B. That people are unwilling to go against their culture by changing their diets．C. That people's preference for food is linked to the food choice available to them．D. That people's eating habits are consistently observed and closely connected with theirculture．14.Which of the following statements is true about the advantages that fake meat will have to beatover traditional meat？A. Fake meat will not be necessarily stored in a refrigerator．B. The price of fake meat will be just one-fourth of traditional meat's．C. Fake meat will win over older people thanks to its tender and soft taste．D. Fake meat will own a taste that is not found in traditional meat．15.What can we infer from the last paragraph？A. Meat must come from animals．B. The world will probably embrace the idea of fake meat．C. The ranchers are suffering economic loss due to fake meat．D. The definition of meat has been changed because of fake meat．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting？Certainly，it is a new experience，which brings the opportunity of discovering fascinating things and a feeling of freedom．(1) You will experience culture shock．Evidently，at least four essential stages of culture-shock adjustment occur．The first stage is called "the honeymoon"．In this stage，you feel excitement about living in a different place，and everything seems to be marvelous．(2)Eventually，however，the second stage of culture shock appears．This is the "hostility stage"．(3) You become tired of many things about the new culture．Moreover，people don't treat you like a guest anymore．Everything that seemed to be so wonderful at first is now awful，and everything makes you feel distressed and tired．Then you come to the third stage called "recovery"．You start feeling more positive，and you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand．The whole situation starts to become more favorable．(4)The last stage of culture shock is called "adjustment"．(5) The things that initially made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand．Now you feel comfortable；you have adjusted to the new culture．A．Actually，culture shock is something you cannot avoid when studying in a foreign country．B．You have reached a point where you feel good because you have learned enough to understand the new culture．C．You like everything，and everybody seems to be so nice to you．D．You recover from the symptoms of the first two stages．E．In spite of these advantages，however，there are also some challenges you will encounter．F．However，when you have completely adjusted to a new culture you can more fully enjoy it．G．You begin to notice that not everything is as good as you had originally thought it was．16.

Roosevelt Fireplace CabinsBGrowing up，I thought math class was something to be endured，not enjoyed．I disliked memorizing formulas（公式）and taking tests，all for the dull goal of getting a good grade．One of my teachers told my mother that I was "slow"．But my problem wasn't with math itself．In fact，when a topic seemed particularly interesting，I would go to the library and read more about it．By high school，no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician．What I wanted to do then was to play college football．My ambition was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school．The chances of that happening were very low．But that didn't stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal，and preparing and pushing me to work for it．They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country．In the end，a Big Ten school，Penn State，did offer me a scholarship．I wish math teachers were more like football coaches．Students are affected by more than just the quality of a lesson plan．They also respond to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers，and they seek a sense of purpose．They benefit from specific instructions and constant feedback（反馈）．Until I got to college，I didn't really know what mathematics was．I still thought of it as laborious （耗时费力的）calculations．Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I think about a particular problem．It wasn't easy，but it was fascinating．My professor kept giving me problems，and I kept pursuing them，even though I couldn't always solve them immediately．The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms．Instead，it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy．It gave me that same sense of wonder and curiosity，and it rewarded creativity．I am now a Ph．D candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology．4.Why did the writer think math class in school was "something to be endured" before enteringcollege？A. Because he wasn't interested in math．B. Because his math teachers didn't care to push him．C. Because he was too smart and talented for math class．D. Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship．5.According to the writer，students are affected by the following things from teachers orcoachesEXCEPT ______ ．A. a sense of purposeB. constant feedbackC. passionD. specific instructions6.We can conclude that after entering college，the writer ______ ．A. was busy looking for math problems to solveB. studied on his own just as he was in high schoolC. met with laborious calculations in his studiesD. began to realize what mathematics really is7.What is the best title for the text？A. Interest is the best teacherB. Be the best-you can make itC. Math，taught like footballD. Once your teacher，always your teacherCYou have probably read about robots replacing human labor as a new era of automation takes root in one industry after another．But a new report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs．In New Zealand，farmers are using drones（无人机）to herd and monitor cows and sheep，taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century．The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely，Radio New Zealand reports，but they have appropriated（盗用）oneof the animal's most powerful tools：barking．The DJI Mavic Enterprise，a ﹩3，500 drone favoredby farmers，has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and play them over a loudspeaker，giving the machine the ability to act as the dogs．Corey Lambeth，a shepherd on a farm，told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective．"That's the one thing I've noticed when you're moving cows that the old cows stand up to the dogs，but with the drones，they've never done that，" he said，noting the drones move cows faster，with less stress，than the dogs do．The drones come in handy for more than just herding（放牧）cows and sheep．The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar，monitoring water and feed levels and checking on the animals' health without disturbing them．Jason Rentoul told RNZ that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone．"Being a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done on foot，the drones really saved a lot of man hours，" he said．For now，farmers say，there is still a need for herding dogs，primarily because they have a longer life span than drones，can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge．8.What is the main advantage of the drones over herding dogs？______A. The drones can take up a job that the dogs hardly do well any longer．B. The drones can frighten the old cows which are not afraid of the dogs．C. The drones can finish a herding job more efficiently than the dogs．D. The drones can work on a hilly farm and extreme weather while the dogs can't．9.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？______A. Herding dogs will gradually lose their position on the farmland．B. The drones can only copy the dogs' barking with the current technology．C. The drones are multi-functional and leave the animals undisturbed．D. The market for the DJI Mavic Enterprise is pretty small because of its high price．10.According to the passage，why can't the drones replace the dogs entirely？______A. Because the drones can't bark as loudly as the dogs do．B. Because cows are not used to seeing the drones．C. Because the drones are much more expensive than the animal．D. Because the drones' power is limited and they need charging from time to time．11.Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowards the drones in the passage？______A. supportiveB. objectiveC. criticalD. doubtfulDRecently I rolled into a local restaurant to try an Impossible Burger，an all-plant patty（人造肉饼）invented by Impossible Foods．It's well known for having an strangely chewy（有咀嚼感），even bloody，meat-like quality，a surprising verisimilitude（逼真）that has made it "perhaps the country's most famous burger，" as New York magazine wrote．One bite into its wonderful，smoky taste and，damn，I was convinced．This is good news，because the time has come to consume fake meat．In the fight against climate change，meat replacement is something we can try．A University of Oxford study recently found that，to keep global warming below 2 degrees this century，we need to be eating 75 percent less beef and 90 percent less pork．However，diets are culturally enshrined，so changing them will be hard．It isn't easy to replace 75 to 90 percent of beef and pork with fake meat．The first taste of an Impossible Burger-a moment when low expectations work a powerful magic in the product's favor-is one thing．But how do you keep meat-eaters asking for more after their sixth，and their 26th？To get to true mass adoption，fake meat will need to compete favorably with the real thing on multiple fronts．Impossible Foods' goal is to drive the price of its product below that of Safeway's 80/20 hamburger meat，at which point people will simply vote with their wallets．The new industry also wants to improve on animal flesh in various ways．Fake meat has an advantage over traditional meat because "you won't need to refrigerate it" cofounder Niko Koffeman says．Plus，custom（定制的）production could improve choice．"You could have very soft and tender meat for elderly people，" Koffeman adds．"You could have a tailored meat for whatever you need．" You can tell the world is shifting this way，because the ranchers（牧场主）are nervous．Last year，the US Cattlemen's Association asked the government to define "meat" as a product "coming directly from animals．" That anxiety-and the power of the science driving it-goes to show that this grand shift isn't impossible．12.According to passage，the author was convinced by the Impossible Burger because ______ ．A. it has a special taste that is different from normal ones．B. it contains all non-meat materials that taste like meat．C. more vegetables are used as main materials for the burger．D. one bite of this burger can provide people with the energy needed for a whole day．13.What does the author mean by saying "Diets are culturally enshrined"？A. That people think their diet is the best in the world．B. That people are unwilling to go against their culture by changing their diets．C. That people's preference for food is linked to the food choice available to them．D. That people's eating habits are consistently observed and closely connected with theirculture．14.Which of the following statements is true about the advantages that fake meat will have to beatover traditional meat？A. Fake meat will not be necessarily stored in a refrigerator．B. The price of fake meat will be just one-fourth of traditional meat's．C. Fake meat will win over older people thanks to its tender and soft taste．D. Fake meat will own a taste that is not found in traditional meat．15.What can we infer from the last paragraph？A. Meat must come from animals．B. The world will probably embrace the idea of fake meat．C. The ranchers are suffering economic loss due to fake meat．D. The definition of meat has been changed because of fake meat．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting？Certainly，it is a new experience，which brings the opportunity of discovering fascinating things and a feeling of freedom．(1) You will experience culture shock．Evidently，at least four essential stages of culture-shock adjustment occur．The first stage is called "the honeymoon"．In this stage，you feel excitement about living in a different place，and everything seems to be marvelous．(2)Eventually，however，the second stage of culture shock appears．This is the "hostility stage"．(3) You become tired of many things about the new culture．Moreover，people don't treat you like a guest anymore．Everything that seemed to be so wonderful at first is now awful，and everything makes you feel distressed and tired．Then you come to the third stage called "recovery"．You start feeling more positive，and you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand．The whole situation starts to become more favorable．(4)The last stage of culture shock is called "adjustment"．(5) The things that initially made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand．Now you feel comfortable；you have adjusted to the new culture．A．Actually，culture shock is something you cannot avoid when studying in a foreign country．B．You have reached a point where you feel good because you have learned enough to understand the new culture．C．You like everything，and everybody seems to be so nice to you．D．You recover from the symptoms of the first two stages．E．In spite of these advantages，however，there are also some challenges you will encounter．F．However，when you have completely adjusted to a new culture you can more fully enjoy it．G．You begin to notice that not everything is as good as you had originally thought it was．16.

安徽省安庆市桐城市某中学2020届高三测试考试英语试卷

英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）ASeattle's Pike Place Market stretches for four city blocks．It includes a collection of old buildings，bunches of stalls and street musicians and afters that draw both locals and visitors．The themed market wakes up each day at 5：00 a．m．Among the first to arrive are flower vendors and fish mongers （小贩）like Jason Scott．My stand is known for its tradition of throwing fish before wrapping it up for a customer．I came back out of high school and I've been here ever since．I'm 46 now．Many Pike Place Market stores are family-run and have been around for generations．Russian-speaking immigrants opened Piroshky bakery 25 years ago．Not a lot of people understand what Piroshky is．People think sometimes it's a last name，so we do have to educate people a lot．If you go to Russia and you go to a market like this，you could hear the latest scream out - Piroshky，Piroshky and that's why we call it Piroshky．Next to Piroshky is a Chinese bakery called Mee Sum pastry．It's owned by the third generation of the Fong family．They call their signature pastry，the best and biggest combos （套餐）in towns．Like Chinese hamburger，you can put chicken or puppy kibble or crispy even vegetable in it．But in this sprawling （无序扩展的）market，one of the most unusual places isn't a food or craft stall．It's the gum wall where people can stick their tiny chewed up clump on a roll．Apparently，they don't give it much thought，trying to be original．This gum wall started about 20 years ago when the theater asked people not to bring gum inside because they didn't want it under the seats，so people would put gum up on the outside．Market officials initially tried to clear the sticky stuff off the wall，but new gum always reappeared so they finally gave up．The gum wall quickly became a tourist attraction．And just like that，the gum wall turned into an attraction，highlighting a more unusual side of Seattle that locals and visitors love．1.What do we know about Seattle's Pike Place Market？______A. It's small and delicate．B. It's tidy and in order．C. It's special and attractive．D. It's modern and new．2.What is Piroshky？______A. A Russian-speaking immigrant．B. A kind of baked pies．C. People's last name．D. A Chinese bakery．3.How does the writer find the gum wall？______A. It should be cleared away．B. It shows the special side of Seattle．C. It is made on purpose．D. It resulted from the market officials' wrong decision．BAs an international body charged with the mission of keeping world peace and development，the United Nations cannot operate without financial support from its member countries．And as a firm defender of multilateralism（多边主义）and a beneficiary of globalization，China knows how important it is to safeguard the current world order in which the UN plays an important role．China is aware how important it is that it does its bit to the UN can accomplish its mission knows that this is a responsibility it must undertake for the benefit of all．And Chinese people can take pride in the fact that the country has overtaken Japan to be thesecond-largest contributor to the UN regular budget．Since how much a country pays to the regular get of the United Nations is a standard on how powerful the country is，at least financially．It is therefore natural that Chinas contribution to the UN budget should rise from 2.05 percent in 2005 to 12.01 percent this year．That hike is an indicator of what the country has achieved over the past 13 years．With the country's further development，there is no doubt that its financial contribution to the UN will continue to rise．China will pay as it should．However，the more money a country pays，the more responsibility it shoulders and more say it is entitled to enjoy as a major player on the world stage．But the reality is that the rights and international standing China enjoys are still disproportional（不相称的）to what it does for the UN and its contribution to the development of the world economy．As a responsible member of the international community，China is struggling for reform of the UN and the global governance system so they are more effective and representative of the international community as a whole．Although peace and development remain the themes of the times，uncertainty and instability are on the rise．With this in mind，all countries should make combined efforts to deepen understanding，increase trust and promote cooperation．China is committed to building a community with a shared future for humanity and will continue to work with the UN to realize that vision．4.What can we learn from the first paragraph？______A. China is against multilateralism and globalization．B. The UN needs financial help from its member countries．C. China doesn't agree with the UN on keeping the current world order．D. The UN must undertake the responsibility to ensure China's benefit．5.What does the underlined word "hike" in paragraph 2 probably mean？______A. WalkB. RiseC. BudgetD.Contribution6.What can we infer from paragraph 3？______A. If a country pays more money，it can take on less responsibility．B.

The global governance system is very satisfying now．7.What is the main idea of the text？______A. China is keeping world peace and development instead of the UN．B. China contributes most to the UN regular budget．C. China enjoys more say as a great power on the world stage．D. China is working with the UN in search for common good．CDuring Amsterdam's chaotic rush hour，nine -year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction．"Look，" she says．"There's traffic coming from everywhere．Four trams from four different directions．For a child on a bike that's really confusing!"Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital．You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world．The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 81，000 - more than the city's 850，000 inhabitants - and 63% of the population cycle daily．But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges，Lotta says："The three biggest problems for us are cars，cycling tourists and scooters （小型摩托）．The cars take up too much space，the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it，and the scooters simply run you over．"Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun．Her idea was to add children's bikes to the popular bike share programme．Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor，she has been busy，giving interviews，opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury （评审员）member during the Amsterdam Light Parade，an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights．She is now planning a meeting with the city's mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with："One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle．Right now，most of us learn a it in the street，which can be quite busy．Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling，because most of them really don't know．"Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme，cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues．"They see it works really well，" Boerma，the senior major，says．"I talk to the parents，Lotta talks to the children．And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child，you will also make it accessible for others．A city that's good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old．"8.Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam？______A. To teach children how to ride．B. To ensure cycling is safer for children．C. To give suggestions to the city's mayor on how to run the city．D. To organize the cycling contests in the city．9.Which word can best replace the underlined word "superfluous" in paragraph 2？______A. ImportantB. UnnecessaryC. DifficultD. Valuable10.What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor？______ ．A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam．B. She has won a contest about cycling．C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade．D. She has given proposals to the city mayor．11.What's Boerma's attitude to the junior cycle mayor？______A. CautiousB. FavorableC. AmbiguousD.DisapprovingDThe long，white robot weighs more than 450 kilograms．Like other robots，it is equipped with cameras and mechanical arms to automatically perform many different jobs．Angus is a major part of operations at Alexander's indoor robot farm．about 40 kilometers south of San Francisco．The 743-square meter farm uses a hydroponic system that grows plants without soil．The plants grow inside equipment that provides a continuous flow of water．The indoor farm uses electrical light instead of sunlight．This kind of farm uses much less water and does not require human labor to run．The main job for Angus is to move thousands of plants around the farm，from small containers to larger ones as they grow．Angus also carries plants to another robot that does not have a name yet．Angus moves slowly to complete its work．But the robot is very strong and can lift about 300 kilograms．For now，the farm uses humans to collect vegetables and other crops when they are ready．But Alexander says he is working on a robot that will eventually take over that job too．Alexander helped start the company Iron Ox after leaving Google，where he worked on robotics at the company's Google x project．He teamed up with another former Google employee，Jon Binney．Together they founded Iron Ox．Iron Ox's website says the hydroponic growing system uses 90 percent less water．It also said the growing method is up to 30 times more productive than growing crops on land．Alexander said growing food robotically throughout the year in major cities will provide a more consistent and fresh product．Most of the vegetables sold in the U．S．are grown in California，Arizona，Mexico and other nations．That means that many people in U．S．cities are eating vegetables that are nearly a week old by the time they arrive in stores．Indoor farms operate all year and are not generally affected by bad weather．This will permit the company to provide a steady flow of goods without major price changes．12.How does Angus work in the farm？______A. It provides a continuous flow of water for the plants．B. It directs other robots to work in the farm．C. It works on collecting vegetables．D. It is in charge of transferring plants．13.What do we know about Alexander？______A. He used to work on robotics at Google．B. He started a company studying robotics with Binney．C. He works on collecting crops when they are ready．D. He started Iron Ox by himself．14.What's the advantage of Alexander's farm？______A. The vegetables from this farm sell in higher price．B. The vegetables from this farm are more nutritious．C. It uses electrical light instead of sunlight．D.

Pre-College Immersive Program．Promise Sawyers， a 10-year-old girl in Nashville， Tenn．， is inspiring people old and young after making a video before going to school "bigger and better" with her natural hair， just one day after she was made fun of for her afro．Promise Sawyers' motivational video was posted online by her mom Qui Daugherty， after the 5th-grader secretly recorded it on Daugherty's phone． In it， Sawyers explained that she was feeling "some type of way" after her classmates had mean things to say after she wore her natural hair the day before． But she was determined not to let it bring her down， and wore it the same way the following day． "Don't allow anyone to steal your joy，" Promise said． "Don't give them that much power．"Daugherty says that Promise has been surrounded by that type of positivity her whole life． She's always taught her daughter to "meet a negative with a positive"， even when somebody is trying to bring her down． And although this example seems like one of the more disheartening（令人气馁的） ones that Promise has faced after starting at a new school， her video proved that she took her mom's advice to heart．Now， nearly 2 million views later， people everywhere are responding to the video． "We had no idea the impact that it was going to make and the amount of messages，" Daugherty said． "It's made a huge impact behind the scenes that has blessed me personally．"Daugherty jokes that Promise doesn't understand how influential her words are． Instead， the 10-year-old is just excited about the millions of views．"I just tell her not to focus on the numbers，" Daugherty says． "Let's find a way we can be impactful behind this and make an influence and inspire people． That's all we want．"4.

Surprised．A new report from the U．K． says that more than 1 in 5 teens there spend five hours or more per day on social media． And the heavier users of social media go to bed later and get poorer quality sleep． The new study was based on self-reported survey data from nearly 12，000 teenage participants in the U．K． Millennium Cohort Study．Megan Moreno， a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison，says that social media is too often described as either entirely good or bad， when the reality is more complicated for teens． "Social media may have its problems， but it is the way that they stay in touch with each other，" she says．Perhaps unsurprisingly， the study found a link between high social media usage and poor sleep patterns． Specifically， teens who report heavier social media use go to sleep later． And， the study authors note， late bedtimes are linked with poorer academic and mental health outcomes．Holly Scott， a researcher at the University of Glasgow， isn't sounding the alarm． She says， "it's easy to look at the results of this and think， 'We should just get teenagers to spend less time on social media．' I think that's an understandable response， but what I really encourage people to do is look beyond that．" She says people should pay attention to the "important emotional and cognitive and social factors" at play with when teenagers are using social media．Scott emphasizes that the study is pointing to a correlation between social media and poor sleep， but not necessarily demonstrating causeand effect ．"Certainly some teens do say that they struggle to get off of social media at night - they might be worried about missing out on things ， or affecting their friends by not answering messages - and they stay up late from that ，" she says ． But ， "maybe for some of those young people they have a naturally later body clock ， and are passing their free time at night on social media until they're ready to fall asleep ，" she says ．8. What's the purpose of the new study in the U ．K ．？ ______A. To find the benefits of using social media ．B. To know the effects of using social media ．C.

It lacks evidence ．11. What is the best title for the text ？ ______A. How to Sleep Well TonightB. Social Media Is Wasting OurTimeC. Teens May Be Losing Sleep Over Social MediaD. Make Use of Social Media in an Effective WayWorking robots ， like the KASRO ， are typically big ， simple ， and strong ． They are large preprogrammed units working in dangerous and dull jobs ． But the growing trend towards collaborative （合作的） robots ， or cobots ， is transforming robotic use worldwide ．What big companies such as Germany's Mercedes-Benz discovered was that robots alone were not enough to keep pace with the demand for customized products ． Human-robot collaboration was identified as the mostsuitable strategy． By shrinking robots down to desktop size and equipping them with sensors and AI， the next generation of cobots will feel our presence， learn from us， and cooperate with us better．"When we have people and machines cooperate， we're much more flexible and can produce many more products on one production line，" said head of production planning， Markus Schaefer． "The variety is too much to take on for the machines．"The future of cobot working is likely to change as new ways of interacting are developed． Voice commands are bound to be a feature as natural language processing systems become more widespread． Closer integration（融合） with machine learning and AI is sure to help realize the benefits of elements such as voice control and machine vision． Unplanned changes to production and safer interaction with humans will then require a step-change in robot learning．Cobots will learn directly from human interaction or even from simulations（模拟） that will help them to adapt to real-world situations． Open robotics platforms， such as Carnegie Mellon University's LoCoBot or Elephant Robotics' Catbot， mean that programmers can share the skills they have developed via the cloud．Importantly， for household robots to become popular， robot learning-where environmental data is gathered to make more ideal decisions- will be needed． Cobot carers， such as ElliQ the companion robot and IKEA's robotic furniture， promise a bright future of cooperation．Like any achievable technological dream， such as self-driving cars，their realization is coming soon． Cobots will become standard in the same way that a car's GPS or the smartphone did． Their integration into society will gradually become normal．12. What inspired Mercedes-Benz to recognize the need for human-robot collaboration？ ______A. The fast pace of modern life．B. The decreasing size of robots．C. The diversity of customer demands．D. The great demand for personal robots．13. What might Markus Schaefer's words in Paragraph 3 imply？______A. People are much smarter than machines．B. Cobots contribute a lot to effective production．C. It's difficult for people to cooperate with machines．D. Robots are playing a steady role on the production line．14. What can Carnegie Mellon University's LoCoBot mainly help researchers do？ ______A. Share and improve theirskills．B. Make improvements on Catbot．C. Interact with robots more efficiently．D. Examine robots' machine learning feature．15. Why does the author mention GPS in the last paragraph？ ______A. To prove the wide use of high-tech machines．B. To explain the popularity of cobots in the future．C. To introduce another direction in robot development．D. To predict possible difficulties in cobot development．二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)Who can forget their first day of school？ Students come into the classroom wondering who their teacher will be for theyear．16 Introducing yourself to those students is a big part of that first day．Pay attention to your appearance．Dress professionally and make sure you follow any published dress codes applying to students and staff． While you want the students to enjoy their time in your class， you want them to respect you．17 On the first day， putting your best appearance forward can set the tone for the year．Tell personal interests and hobbies．18 It helps them identify with you as more than just a teacher． Students may be surprised you have interests after school． Explaining some of your hobbies and interests can give students the chance to interact with you on the first day． Offering these small personal details can make you seem more approachable and will open up to a connection with your students．Explain classroom rules．Getting started on the first day by also explaining your class rulesand what your class can expect of you is a good way to set guidelines． For example， you could say "I'm easy-going， but I do have some rules that everyone must obey．" 1920If you have time after your basic introduction， ask your new students if they'd like to know anything more about you． After you have answered their questions， ask the class what they have learned about you． For example， ask "What do I like to do in my free time？" By doing that，you're reiterating your introduction， which makes it easier for the students to remember you．A．Give name details step by step．B．Invite questions and responses．C．Tell your class a little more about yourself．D．Teachers are faced with new students sitting in desks．E．Continue to remain polite and positive when speaking to students．F．Dressing in inappropriate clothing can be destructive in the classroom．G．Keep those rules easy-to-remember if you introduce yourself and the rules together．16.
