But the concept itself isn ' new at all — in fact, scie ntists have bee n explori ng questi ons about climate cha nge for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhousqgases "goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what wasregulating the earth' s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containingthe heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shi nes through the glass, the in side gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier 'ideas spread, it came to be called “ the gree nhouse effect ".Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhe nius came along, did scie ntists un dersta nd how global warmi ng actually works. After years of work, Arrhe nius determ ined that the level of carb on dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhe nius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiatio n, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhe nius was the first to suspect that burning coal could con tribute to the gree nhouse effect. But Arrhe nius welcomed the warmi ng effect on the pla net. At a lecture later that year, Arrhe nius no ted that creatures of a warmer earth“ might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings".While Arrhe nius ' findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scie ntists kept debat ing whetherthe gree nhouse effect was in creas ing un til 1950, whe n researchers fin ally bega n to find stro ng data support ing it. By the end of the 1950s, America n scie ntists had bee n sounding the alarm on the Ion g-term con seque nces of climate cha nge. Climate cha nge research has come a long way since Fourier first described the gree nhouse effect —— still, maybe Arrhe nius should have bee n more careful of what he wished for. 4. What does the underlined word"it " in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. It is easy to carry.C. It is complex to con trol. B. It is unn ecessary to install.D. It is expe nsive to afford. A. The climate change.C. The atmosphere.B. The gree nhouse effect.D. The heat from the sun. 5. When did the scie ntists first find evide nee for the bad effect of global warm ing? A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.6. What ' s the author ' s attitude towards Arrhenius A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. 200 years ago.'wish?D. Ambiguous.CIt ' s com mon kno wledge that the woma n in Leon ardo da Vinci ' s most farainting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter /here they sta nd in the room. But this com mon kno wledge tur ns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out atan an gle that '5.4 degrees off to the observer'ejliigltside —f the range that people no rmallybelieve when they think some one is look ing right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstma nn, “ She h oi look ing at you. "This is somewhat ironic, because the en tire phe nomenon of a person 'gaze (凝视)in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “ Mona Lisa effect " . That effect is absolutely real, Horstma nn said. If a pers on is illustrated or photographed look ing straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person ' s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligenee avatars ( 虚拟头像 )when Horstmann took a long look at the “ Mona_isa " and realizedshe wasn ' t looking at hirT.o make sure it wasn ' t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view imagesof the“ Mona Lisa " on a corsxpie e n.So why do people repeat the belief tha t her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn ' t sure.It 'possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “ Mona ugateffsas a " just thecool n ame.8. What is gen erally believed about the woma n in the pain ti ng “ Mona Lisa "A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they sta nd.9. What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?7. What ' s the main idea of the text? A. Causes of climate cha nge. C. Findings about global warm ing.B. Effects of gree nhouse gases. D. Explorati ons on climate cha nge.C. D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A. Toconfirm Horstmann ' s b. eliefB. To create artificial-intelligence avatars.C. Tocalculate the angle of Mona Lisa . ' s gazeD. To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.11. W hat can we learn from the text?A. Horstmann thinks it ' s cool to coin the term “ Mona Lisa effect ”.B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the r uler in the experiment will influence the viewers ' judgment.DSparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn awayfrom them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain 'oswner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy ' s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arrgauningadfovertising campaign designedto convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that nu mbers were the key to success, rather than customers ' spending power. Finally, the ow accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image.For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.12. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A. The number of its customers was declining.B. Its customers found the food unhealthy.C. It was in need of financial support.D. Most of its restaurants were closed.13. For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A. To build a good relationship with the public.B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C. To learn about customers ' spending power.D. To meet the challen ge from Marcy 's restaurants.14. What do know about the TV ads of Sparrow?A. They changed people ' s views on pop s. tarsB. They amused the public with original songs.C. They focused on the superiority of its products.D. They in flue need the eati ng habits of the audie nee.15. What was Pears on ' s aehieveme nt as a CEO?A. He man aged to pay off Sparrow ' s debts.B. He made Sparrow much more competitive.C. He helped Sparrow take over a eompa ny.D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年新高考英语全真模拟卷(山东专用)全真模拟卷(五)(原卷版)

2020年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(模拟卷5)英语第二部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5 分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Many of the most striking beasts on the planet come in only two colors: black and white. These high-contrast markings represent some of the nature's most diverse evolutionary choices. For some animals, black -and- white coloring is a way to warn off natural enemies. For others, to keep insects away. For still others, it creates a clever cover. Spend some time exploring what science has discovere d about these animals’ appearances, and you will see that basic black and white isn't so basic after all.SkunkDepending on the species, black skunks may wear white spots that act as a cover or white stripes(条纹)that signal enemies to watch out for their smelly spray.Giant PandaResent insights into panda coloring have come from studying each body part separately. Black ears indicate fierceness, and distinct eye patches aid in individual recognition. The panda in white body hides it against snow, white its dark limbs(四肢) keep it from being spotted in forests, a compromise developed from its poor bamboo diet: Bamboo doesn’t let pandas build up enough fat to hibernate(冬眠), forcing them to spend winters in the snow.BadgerEven when a badger is in its cave, its facial stripes can be seen; Zoologists say the warning coloration helps the small animal prevent natural enemies.Blackbuck (male)In bright sun, the buck’s white stomach reduces the effect of the shadow cas t by his back, allowing him to appear one color and two dimensional---especially hiding from natural enemies in his own shadow.21. Which animals can use their color to warn off natural enemies?A. Skunk and BadgerB. Giant panda and ZebraC. Badger and BlackbuckD. Zebra and Blackbuck22. White body and dark limbs help the giant panda to ________.A. show fiercenessB. store fatC. recognize individualsD. take cover23. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Which animals have black- and- white color?B. How some animals protect themselves from harm.C. Why so many animals wear black- and- white coats?D. What science has discovered about different colors.BPassing biker Anuchit saw the dog twice on a highway in Roi-Et, northeastern Thailand, and last month. He stopped to check on the dog and was told by the locals that it had been sitting at the same place for its owner in the last four years.Saowaluck , 45, said that she found the dog at that place in early 2016. Then he was so skinny and he had injuries, so Saowaluck took him to the vet, adopted him and named him Leo, but after a couple of days he was missing from her house and appeared at that spot again so she let him stay there and have been coming to feed him every day.Anuchit decided to share the story of Leo and a video online, prompting the dog's owner to come forward. Video shows Leo sitting by the roadside and looking out as the cars drove past.Owner Noi , 64, said her dog Bong Bong had gone missing after jumping down from her truck in 2015. “My husband and I drove around to find him but we failed." On seeing the video, she went back to the spot where she lost the dog on September 9, while Leo bounded over excitedly to Noi and let her rub his head. However, he refused to go home when she carried him to the truck. It appeared that Bong Bong needed time to adjust himself, so Noi promised to go back again the next day.However, that night Saowaluck called Noi and said that she wanted to keep the dog because she had become attached to him. Noi responded that she was more than happy to let the dog stay with Saowalack. She said: "I have no intention to refuse her request. Due to her good care I believed she and the dog will be happy together and I would like her to keep the dog in her house.''Saowaluck promised to take the dog home and would take good care of him while Noi suggested she was happy to take the dog back, if Saowaluck no longer wanted him.24. Why had the dog been sitting at the same place for four years?A. He was fond of freedom.B. He forgot where he was heading.C. He was waiting for his owner.D. He was looking for a new family.25. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “prompt” in paragraph 3?A .Propose B. Force C. Promote D. Urge26. How did the dog react when he saw Noi again?A. He refused to approach Noi.B. He stayed with Saowalack.C. He jumped over in excitement.D. He rubbed against Noi’s legs.27. Why did Saowaluck call Noi that night?A .She had an intention of being the dog’s new owner.B .She wanted to tell Noi what she had done for the dog.C .She planned to attach the dog to the truck of her own.D She intended to return the dog to Noi.CEvery new parent knows that rocking can calm that uneasy baby when it's time to take a nap. But the benefits of gentle movement may go beyond the baby stage. Because two new studies show that rocking also helps grown-ups, both human and mouse, get a good night's sleep.What should be no surprise is that movement can calm someone. Think of how many times you've fallen asleep on a train. But can motion really cause a nap, and make for a deeper sleep?To find out, researchers invited 18 healthy volunteers for a sleepover. "So they came to the lab and slept one time on the motionless, normal bed. And one night where they got rocked." said Aurore Perrault, a sleep researcher at the University of Geneva in Switzerland."And what we find is that when compared to a motionless night, a whole night of rocking sleep has a beneficial effect not only on sleep beginning but also on sleep continuity."Subjects who were rocked also did better on a memory test the next morning than the stiller sleepers.In the second study, Kompotis, a student at the University of Lausanne, rocked a rack of mice."Whether rocking affects sleep in other species was never before discussed. So the main questions for our study were whether rocking affects sleep in mice and what is the possible system?"Kompotis placed the mouse cages on a platform that moved from side to side. Though mice were rocked four times faster than their human counterparts—a frequency of one back-and-forth per second, or 1 Hertz, worked best—the results were strikingly similar." During rocking at 1 Hertz, time spent asleep increased, and mice fell asleep twice as fast as at still condition."However, additional studies could allow the researchers to identify a newaim for treating sleep disorders, including insomnia(失眠).Until then, you might think about adding a little swing to your nighttime routine.28. What’s th e purpose of the second study in the passage?A. To do research on the sleep system of other species.B. To discuss in which case rocking affects baby’s sleep.C. To see whether rocking affects sleep of other species.D. To study the influence of rocking on sleep disorders .29. What do we know about the mice in Paragraph 5?A. Their sleeping time increased when rocked at 1 Hertz.B. Their sleep disorder including insomnia was treated.C. When rocked, they fell asleep twice faster than at still condition.D. When rocked, they worked faster than their human counterparts.30. How did the researchers carry out the experiment?A. By conducting a surveyB. By asking questionsC. By filling out questionnairesD. By making comparisons31. W hat’s the best title of the passage?A. Rocking Helps Grown-ups Sleep Too.B. Deep Sleep Needs the Constant Swing.C. Rocking Greatly Affects Deep Sleep.D. Rocking Can Treat Sleep Disorders.DA year ago I lost my wonderful friend and colleague Rachael Bland. She died at the age of just 40, after suffering from breast cancer for two years.Her death knocked me for six. I knew it was coming and we had talked about it - but nothing prepared me for actually not having her in my life every day. The thing was, while we only knew each other for a short period of time, she had a huge influence on me. When I got stage 4 lung cancer, I made a whole new group of friends. Rach was up there with the best of them. She understood exactly what I was going through; she shared my fears and was always there to comfort me. She was my rock.After Rach died, I broke down. I hit numerous brick walls in the weeks and months that followed. My cancer was progressing and I fell into a dark place. I pushed it away but ignored the terror of it all. Great sadness hit mewhen I least expected. Her death felt like a bad dream. The emotional bit aside, one of the things I found really hard was to actually accept she died.Rach hoped that by starting the conversation around cancer she could help other women avoid getting cancer too. It was her absolute determination and bravery at helping to break down taboos(禁忌) that will live on for generations to come.Rach showed me how to live with cancer. Even in her darkest days she was determined to show that cancer doesn’t get to take over. She helped remind me to get busy living with cancer, rather than worry about dying from it. She was in the bottom of my heart forever.32. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. I was beaten six times.B. Her death made me very shocked.C. Her death gave me the strength.D. She was knocked down many times .33. Why did the author hit the brick walls?A. She wanted to end up her life.B. She couldn’t stand the pain of cancer.C. She had been suffering from terrible dreams.D. She was too extremely sad to accept Rach’s death.34. What did Rach do to help the cancer sufferers?A. Recommend them some effective cures.B. Do voluntary work in the neighborhood.C. Make conversations around cancer.D. Work out with the sufferers regularly.35. Which of the following best describes Rach?A. Positive.B. Particular.C. Humorous.D. Demanding.第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

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

"The idea that deaf people cannot speak is a very offensive assumption, " the sophomore(大二学生)said.Stabbe’s experience speaks of many of the misunderstandings about deaf people and the struggles they face — things commonly found right in Rochester. This city is home to 90,000 deaf people, a significant slice of the more than 1. 1 million national population. The percentage of deal people here is higher than the national average t due in part to RITs National Technical Institute for the Deaf, the first technological college in the world created specifically for the deaf and hard of hearing."Really, there seems to be an embarrassment in communicating with deaf people," said sophomore Stephen Davis, another deaf student. This awkwardness might arise because non-deaf people just don't know how to do so without possibly offending someone. "I guess they think saying ‘deaf’ is offensive,but it really isn’t and deaf people don’t get upset about it, " Davis said. He noted that the biggest issue he's had when communicating with other students is their anxiety about communicating.Deaf or hard-of-hearing students also face frustrations(令人心烦的事)on their end when interacting with others. "Sometimes people talk about you, maybe to a non-deaf friend standing beside me, as if I’m not there," Davis said. "That’s depressin g." As Davis put it, "We don’t see ourselves as the disabled, so the awkwardness is only one-sided."Stabbe advised that those communicating should not make assumptions about others’ preferences or ability. If you have a question, ask. A moment of awkwardness is absolutely worth it if you are being educated about an important topic.1. Why are there more deaf people in Rochester?A. Deaf people have some privileges here.B. Deaf people may get better job opportunities here.C. Deaf people meet fewer struggles here.D. A professional school for the deaf appeals to them.2. What may embarrass people when communicating with the deaf according to Davis?A. They are afraid of upsetting the deaf.B. They are unwilling to communicate.C. They don’t know any simple gestures.D. They don’t challenge enough assumptions.3. What kind of person is Stephen Davis?A. Sensitive and talkative.B. Reasonable and reliable.C. Outspoken and aggressive.D. Confident and intelligent.4. What can be the best title of the text?A. We can hear your heartB. "Deaf" is not a bad wordC. Deaf people are not liarsD. Embarrassment is one-sided3、It’s the year 2140 and two kids ride their surfboards in the heart of Manhattan, near the point where Sixth Avenue meets Broadway. If you are familiar with this junction you will know it is far from the US’s current coastline. But in Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel New York 2140, Manhattan is flooded after continuous climate change causes the sea level to rise by 15. 25m.Robinson’s 2017 climat e fiction novel belongs to a new kind of novel, which tells "the story of the next century". It might be helping readers across the world comprehend the situation in which we currently find ourselves.Climate change is an indescribable crisis to make sense of. Drop some poisonous chemicals in a river now and you will see dead fish within days,but what do you witness when you release(释放)carbon dioxide(CO2)?"This is where fiction comes in :it brings the abstract data closer to home by focusing on the faces and stories in these futures. Show readers a detailed account of a climate-changed future," says Robinson, and they have an easier time imagining it."Science fiction gets people thinking in a way that another report on climate change doesn’t, "says Shelley Streeby, a professor of Literature and Ethnic Studies at UC San Diego. "It helps people feel not only about what might be coming, but also about the present. It is about taking certain conditions that exist nowadays, extending them into the future and throwing a bunch of characters into their midst. "In the search to adopt climate change as a topic, writers are doing what they do best:trying to tell a good story. Sometimes they write with a touch of optimism as they negotiate the current crisis. But even with this optimism, these writers want to make sure the world knows they, at least, are paying attention.1. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To give background on a story.B. To promote the novel New York 2140.C. To lead to the topic of climate fiction.D. To show the influence of climate change.2. How does the author show the climate change crisis is "indescribable"?A. By inferring.B. By comparing.C. By analyzing.D. By imagining.3. What’s Streeby’s attitude toward science fiction?A. Approving.B. Cautious.C. Negative.D. Doubtful.4. Which is the best title for the text?A. Climate Crisis:No Longer a ForecastB. The Future World:More PromisingC. New York 2140:A New Type of NovelD. Climate Fiction:A Reminder of Climate Change4、It is easy to understand the difference between some homophones (同音异形异义词). But other homophones are difficult, even for native English speakers. One set of commonly confusing homophones are the words bear and bare.Of course, as a noun, a bear is a large, heavy animal with thick hair and sharp claws. But the word bear can also be a verb. It can mean “to accept or get through something,” usually something difficult. The verb bear is often used with the modal verb can and a negation(否定). Using this structure, “cannot bear” sometimes means “strongly dislike.” If you travel to a very cold place in the middle of winter, you might say, “I cannot bear the cold weather.” Bear can also mean “to assume or accept something, such as a cost or responsibilit y.” For example, “The man must bearfull responsibility for his actions.” Bear can also sometimes mean “to carry.” For example, Americans often talk about the “right to bear arms,” or the right of citizens to possess a gun. Sometimes, people make jokes about this expression. They replace the meaning of bear in this example with its meaning as a noun. The phrase then means that people have a right to possess a bear’s arm.Bare is mostly used as an adjective. It means “not having a covering” or “not covered b y clothing, shoes or something else.” If you just moved to a new home, the walls could still be bare. And, if you take your shoes and socks off before entering a room, you will have bare feet. As a verb, bare is similar to its adjectival meaning. To bare m eans “to remove the covering from something.” It can also mean “to show or expose.” For example, an angry animal might bare its teeth. The past tense of bare is bared.1.What’s the function of the first paragraph?A.Introducing the homophones.B.Analyzing the homophones.C.Introducing the topic of the passage.D.Telling the differences between bear and bare.2.How many meanings does the word bear have when it is a verb?A.3.B.4.C.5.D.6.3.What does he want to tell us if someone says he has the right t o possess a bear’s arm?A.He has the right to get an arm of a bear.B.He has the right to sell a bear’s arm.C.He has the right to kill a bear.D.He has the right to have a gun.4.What might the animal decide to do when it bares its teeth?A.It might attack a person.B.It might show his respect for people.C.It might want to have a covering.D.It might remove the covering from its body.5、Schools consume a large amount of energy, which has a bad effect on the environment, ①___________, there are lots of ways that you can help your school save energy. Look for simple changes your school can make and band together with others to make an even bigger effect.②___________. Even something as simple as turning off the lights when you leave a room can help to save energy. Turn off the lights in classrooms that are not being used and in other areas, such as empty bathrooms and unoccupied multi-purpose rooms.Use natural light when the sun is bright. It may not always be necessary for you to have the lights on in your classroom. There may be a time of day when the sun is especially bright and enough for what you are doing in your classroom. ③___________.Set up a recycling station at your school. Recycling is a great way to save energy because it reduces the need to produce new materials. ④___________, then ask your school principal if you can set one up.Get others involved. ⑤___________. Either as an individual or as a team, you can create and put up signs around your school. Try using signs that remind people of things they can do to save energy and also some signs that raise awareness of saving energy.A. Post signs about conserving energyB. Whether you are a teacher or a studentC. If your school does not have oneD. Turn off your computer when it's not usedE. Shut down the lights when rooms are not in useF. Other times of day you might only need half of the lightsG. If your school’s garbage company offers recycling services6、Paul was my neighbor and primary school classmate.

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

Many of the most striking beasts on the planet come in only two colors: black and white. These high-contrast markings represent some of the nature's most diverse evolutionary choices. For some animals, black -and- white coloring is a way to warn off natural enemies. For others, to keep insects away. For still others, it creates a clever cover. Spend some time exploring what science has discovered about these animals’ appearances, and you will see that basic black and white isn't so basic after all.SkunkDepending on the species, black skunks may wear white spots that act as a cover or white stripes(条纹)that signal enemies to watch out for their smelly spray.Giant PandaResent insights into panda coloring have come from studying each body part separately. Black ears indicate fierceness, and distinct eye patches aid in individual recognition. The panda in white body hides it against snow, white its dark limbs(四肢) keep it from being spotted in forests, a compromise developed from its poor bamboo diet:Bamboo doesn’t let pandas build up enough fat to hibernate(冬眠), forcing them to spend winters in the snow.BadgerEven when a badger is in its cave, its facial stripes can be seen, Zoologists say the warning coloration helps the small animal prevent natural enemies.Blackbuck(male)In bright sun, the buck’s white stomach reduces the effect of the shadow cast by his back, allowing him to appear one color and two dimensional---especially hiding from natural enemies in his own shadown.1. Which animals can use their color to warn off natural enemies?A. Skunk and BadgerB. Giant panda and ZebraC. Badger and BlackbuckD. Zebra and Blackbuck2. White body and dark limbs help the giant panda to ________.A. show fiercenessB. store fatC. recognize individualsD. take cover3. What can be a suitable title for the text?A.

Across the country,sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes.Now,the American Medical Association (AMA)has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions-serious injuries caused by a blow to the head."By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place,we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon,which can put their health at further risk,"said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr M.D.in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible.Then,they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval.The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),a concussion is a type of traumatic(创伤)brain injury caused by a bump,blow,or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth.This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅骨).It can damage braincells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S.every year.A study from the Center tor Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should.The AMA's new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8.Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?______A.

New Policies for DoctorsDOrganic food is very popular.It is also expensive.Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food,but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food.However,there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food.Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals,such as pesticides (杀虫剂).In many countries organic food have special labels.These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown.Originally this was true.Over time organic farming became more difficult.The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply.Small companies had to sell out to large companies.There weren't enough organic ingredients(原料),such as grain and cattle.This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business.Today,many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious?This is part of the debate.Many farmers and consumers believe it is.They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer.Many health professionals disagree.Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems.Health specialists worry more about bacteria (病毒),such as E.coli and salmonella.These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food.Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully,Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better.Is tastier food worth the extra money?This is a matter of opinion.Whether it is healthier or not may require more research.However,organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?______A. Price.B. Safety.C. Freshness.D. Variety.13.What is the doctors suggestion?______A. Grow your own food.B. Reduce the use of pesticides.C. Make sure the food is clean.D.

"The mountain is on fire, and McGee’s up there! He needs a hand," she screamed. "The main road isblocked — head for the back road." Layton owned a dozen rental cabins (小木屋)on Shields Mountain,and Layton’s friend, Brian McGee, who lived on the mountain, was apparently up there trying to put the fire out alone.Once Layton and McGee got together, they headed first to Layton’s rental cabins. Layton wanted to make sure his guests were gone and fortunately they were. At that point, the two had a choice:try to save Layton cabins or rescue people renting other cabins nearby. "On the mountain, there aren’t many locals. They’re mostly tourists who don’t know their way around, " he said. So over the next hours, they passed through the smoky mountain, knocking on doors and leading panicked people to safety. They successfully rescued 14 people at last.O ne who almost didn’t make it was McGee. On the trip down the mountain with the last touristy the two rescuers got separated. By then,the flames regularly heated the road, and Layton was forced to press a wet towel against his nose and mouth. Soon he found McGee near a cabin, nearly unconscious. Minutes later, they were off the mountain.Fourteen people died that night in Sevier County. But the fire didn’t claim a single life on Shields Mountain.

But,as a result of climate change,the amount of land available for rice growing in the country is shrinking. The concern has motivated scientists led by Yuan Longping,known as "the father of hybrid rice" ,to look for new ways of growing the grain.Now they’re celebrating successful efforts to grow rice — in sand and seawater. Rice is traditionally grown in soil and fresh water. Starting from January,according to the official Xinhua News Agency, the scientists have grown dozens of varieties of rice in the deserts of Dubai. They experimented with seawater because it is easier to obtain in the desert than fresh water.China is not the only country facing the issue of overly salty soil. Around the world, there are around 2.35 billion acres of highly saline(含盐的) land. And the number is increasing because of rising sea levels and climate change."Probably only a small part of the world’s saline land could be brought into production with seawater rice,but that would still have a very important effect on food security," Even R. Pay, a senior analyst, said.Yuan told Xinhua that one of the varieties of rice grown in Dubai produced over three tons, per acre, which Yuan said was beyond expectations.Rice is the basic food in many parts of the world. About 90% of rice consumption is from Asia, but demand in Africa and Latin America is on the rise.A climate change researcher said the successful experiment could potentially benefit many countries, "This is a fantastic development, which is likely to have a good effect on agricultural resource and water-poor countries, particularly in North Africa region."Even though the cost of growing salt-tolerant rice is still high, it will also have strategic value once it's commercialized.1.What has caused the scientists to find new ways of growing rice?A.The increase of rice consumers.B.The high cost of rice producing.C.The land shortage of rice growing.D.The severe pollution of fresh water.2.Yuan’s team have successfully grown rice in sand and seawater in _________.A.ChinaB.Dubaitin AmericaD.North Africa3.What can be inferred from the text?A.About 90% of the rice is demanded and consumed in China.B.The production of a new type of rice is larger than expected.C.The increase of saline land is mainly caused by climate change.D.Seawater is used in the experiment because it is cheaper to gain.4.What is the author’s attitude to the rice-growing experiment?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Critical.D.Disappointed.4、Handwriting is quickly becoming a dying art. Few businesses can run nowadays without computers, giving keyboard shortcuts great importance. Elementary and high schools across the country now view typing courses as vital to their curricula. But what are we losing as handwriting loses its significance in society?Brainpower, according to science. Researchers from Princeton University and the University of California, Los Angeles conducted a series of studies to show the differences between students who wrote out their notes and those who typed notes. Participants took notes on a lecture using one of the two methods and were tested on the material 30 minutes after the lecture and again a week later. The results showed that both types of notetakers did well on the first test, but students with handwritten notes were able to remember and still understand the concepts of the lecture after a week had passed. These participants were also more open to new ideas. Researchers said that the reason is likely that longhand notes were briefer, more organized, and better caught information from graphs and charts than typed notes.Another problem with typing notes is the tendency to transcribe lecture notes word for word. While this can help in recalling(回忆) facts short-term, it takes the focus away from the main points of the lesson. Students who take handwritten notes need to quickly process the lesson and rewrite it in a way they can understand, giving them an advantage in remembering new concepts in the long term.Computers aren’t going away anytime soon, but that doesn't mean paper notebooks need to become abandoned. In fact, it’s best to start using them at an early age. Choosing a pen over a keyboard does wonders for your memory.1.Why is handwriting becoming a dying art?A.It is not important any longer.B.It is not a must for most people.C.Courses don’t include it any more.D.Typing has already taken the place of it.2.What did the test prove?A.Science is as powerful as the brain.B.Notes are easy to forget as time goes on.C.Handwriting has a further influence.D.Typing involves more complicated thoughts.3.What does the underlined word "transcribe” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Record.B.Present.C.Describe.D.Give.4.What conclusion does the author draw from the text?A.Lecturers prefer typing to handwriting.puters do wonders for memory.C.The existence of typing is a matter of time.D.It is wise to use a pen at an early age.5、Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of experience? ①______, but not too long. And if he senses that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.②______. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others, stare at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?③______. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds, his intention is obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention to make her understand that he admires her. In fact, continuous eye contact occurs between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time to show affection that words cannot express.However, the normal eye contact between two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener is attentive. ④______, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look him or her straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. ⑤_______.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.A.Quite the contraryB.The same is happening in daily lifeC.In a bus you may look at a strangerD.Looking too long at someone may seem to be rudeE.This shows the listener is interested in your speechF.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speakingG.Sometimes it doesn't matter to look at someone too long6、阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
