And up till today, it still troubles me a lot when I think back."Omar, who moved to the U.S. around 13, provided first-hand experience last Saturday of what it means to be a child displaced by war as the keynote speaker at the "Dinner for Peace," hosted by the Student Association for the Development of Arab Cultural Awareness.About 250 guests attended the dinner, the proceeds of which will go to education for children affected by the Middle Eastern refugee crisis."Children did not create this conflict, but they are its greatest victims," said Alanoud Alzaid, the group’s president, who gave the opening address at the dinner.Junior Deema Abdo, co-founder of the non-profit Education for a Peaceful Middle East, helped explain the impact this dinner would have in the context of the Syrian refugee crisis."Tonight we have raised roughly $3,000 in profit, which means over 1,000 children can get the education they deserve," she said.

"Whenever I tell people that fish have ears, they look at me like I’m mad," he says in a BBC film that examines the ways in which fish communicate.away. Studies also show that noise can hamper(妨碍) the development of some young fish, with some born abnormal and others failing to hatch at all.The professor Simpson, who recorded the communication of fish on Blue Planet II, said that fish talked to each other through a variety of different languages. Audible(听得见的) communication is key for fish while hunting as a group, to warn each other about the approach of the killer. Professor Simpson also said that there was a "full" orchestra of sounds from the communication of marine life but that this was being drowned out by human noise from boats, pile driving and the search of finding undeveloped oil and gas reserves.Professor Simpson said, "We are only now beginning to understand the full impact of man-made noise on fish and to assess impacts on how they communicate. But I’m sure that action can be taken to reduce man-made noise within 20 years. By learning to listen, we can help restore the natural acoustic conditions."28. Noise pollution affects the fish in many ways when lorries and trains pass over the bridges EXCEPT ________.A. makes some born abnormalB. masks the calling for mateC. prevents some being hatchedD. ruins fish hearing completely29. What does the underlined sentence probably mean in paragraph 5?A. All kinds of sounds mix together.B. The orchestra will be performed by the fish.C. Various sea animals talk with different languages.D. The sounds of the sea animals are better than the orchestra.30. What’s the attitude of the professor towards the future condition of the sea?A. Indifferent.B. Optimistic.C. Critical.D. Suspicious.31. What’s the best title for the text?A. Man-made Noise Hits Fish Lives.B. Sound Pollution Ruins Creatures.C. Marine Lives Are Valued by Experts.D. Sea Animals Are at the Risk of Dying out.DIn the late 1960s, the anthropologist(人类学家) Edmund Carpenter arrived in New Guinea armed with mirrors, video and Polaroid cameras, and a mission: to disrupt(扰乱) the minds of members of the Biami tribe, who had never seen full reflections or images of themselves. "After their first astonished response—coveting their mouths and ducking their heads—they stood frozen, staring at their images." Carpenter’s devices disturb that inner image, causing discomfort. But not for long. Within days, the villagers groomed(打扮) themselves openly before mirrors and began taking Polaroid shots of each other."It’s unclear if the Biami were really as unfamiliar with mirrors as Carpenter thought. But in any case, what’s striking isn’t how strange their reaction seems, but how relatable. You know how it feels when you make a pleasant remark in a lift, but nobody responds? Or when two people greeting each other misjudge whether to go for a handshake, hug or social kiss? That’s the same awkwardness: "self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty," as Dahl defines it. Su ddenly, I see I’m viewed not as a friendly conversationalist, but as a strange person who talks in lifts.As awkwardness feels unpleasant, it’s natural to want to overcome it. Dahl’s initial motivation for writing her book A Theory of Awkwardness, was to get over her own. But after a journey through various awkward experiences, she makes a persuasive case for celebrating it. We live in an era with more opportunity than ever to improve the image we’re presenting, and more pressure than ever to do so. But awkwardness breaks that false appearance, exposing the imperfect life behind it. It creates aindicates that taking a friendlier attitude toward awkwardness might help us make the connections with people holding different opinions.32. How did New Guineans feel when they first saw themselves in the mirror?A. Curious about their looks.B. Satisfied with their images.C. Shocked at their reflections.D. Ashamed of their appearance.33. Which of the following awkwardness is "self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty"?A. You slip over just to the face of your girl in dream.B. You are caught cheating but get nothing in an exam.C. You are found standing in public with your trousers zip open.D. You’re refused when offering your seat to a s eemingly pregnant woman.34. What causes you to feel embarrassed from time to time?A. Seeking perfection.B. Not knowing anything novel.C. Avoiding pressure from others.D. Lacking courage to face some problems.35. What can be inferred to solve our awkwardness?A. Treat others in a friendly way.B. Connect with your friends regularly.C. Get ready to guard against any threat from others.D. Express yourself honestly with no defensive cover.第二节(共10分)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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

The2001foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms,stopped meat exports,and raised public consciousness about the troubles on UK farms.Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s2005campaign to get children eating healthily also highlighted the issue.This national concern gives hope to farmers competing with powerful supermarkets.While most people buy food from the big supermarkets,hundreds of independent Farmers’Markets are becoming popular.“I started going to Farmers’Markets in direct defiance of the big supermarkets.I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything–what exactly do they put on our apples to make them so big and red?

AWith all the attention Thanksgiving and Christmas get from travellers, it’s easy to overlook Halloween as a destination holiday. While a few cities provide a ghostly atmosphere all year round, annual festivals, theme park pop-up events and other haunted happenings elsewhere have helped make the holiday a travel mini-season all its own.New OrleansHome to year-round cemetery walks, New Orleans is among the cities that naturally harmonize with Halloween. Worth noting every October is the family-friendly Halloween parade, happening this year on Oct. 21, with floats devoted to themes like werewolves and vampires. Float riders throw locally made candies to the crowd. New Orleans hosts plenty of after-event-parties, but the procession itself draws all ages in costume.Whitby, EnglandThis picturesque town on England’s Yorkshire coast is considered to be the home of Dracula, though in a different way. Bram Stoker spent just a month in Whitby, but those four weeks in July and August 1890 were important in the creation of his most famous book, “Dracula”, which was published in 1897. Whitby celebrated the 125th anniversary of Stoker’s visit in 2015, but this year you can see the skeletal remains of Whitby Abbey illuminated throughout the final week of October.Salem, MassachusettsHome to the infamous witch trials of the early 1690s, it should come as no surprise that this town is a hotbed for Halloween activity. One way Salem builds on its spectral past is with the nearly month-long festival of the Dead. Events starting from mid-October this year include psychic readings, mourning-themed tea and on Halloween night, a witches gathering.Orlando, FloridaThe home of Disney World and Universal Studios goes all-out with huge Halloween events. Universal this year will hold its 27th Halloween Horror Night on Oct. 30, a seasonal pop-up featuring haunted houses and “scareactors” employed to frighten visitors. Plus, there are many other activities like trick-or-treating, Disney character encounters, a Halloween ball and fireworks.1. Which of the following is most recommended for a family going together?A. New Orleans.B. Whitby, England.C. Salem, Massachusetts.D. Orlando, Florida.2. Where do Halloween activities last the longest this year?A. New Orleans.B. Whitby, England.C. Salem, Massachusetts.D. Orlando, Florida.3. What can you do in Orlando, Florida ?A. Have mourning-themed tea.B. Enjoy dancing.C. Watch Disney movies.D. See skeletal remains.【答案】1. A2. C3. B【语篇解读】这是一篇应用文。

AChristmas is coming early this year for “Downton Abbey”《唐顿庄园》fans. Highclere Castle, where the beloved British show was filmed, will be available for one night only on Airbnb.The stay will offer two lucky guests a glimpse at what life as a Crawley may have been like. Theonce-in-a-lifetime stay will take place on November 26, 2019, according to the listing.Highclere Castle belongs to the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, who still live on the grounds and will host the guests. The Earl is Queen Elizabeth II’s godson.Reservations for Highclere Castle will become available on October 1 at 7 p.m. ET, and it’s first come, first serve.The stay at Highclere Castle will cost $159.In a one-night-only listing, Earl and Lady Carnarvon are inviting one lucky couple to “live like royalty” at their 100,000-square-foot, 300-room estate in Hampshire, England. The chosen pair will be invited to share dinner with the Earl and Countess in the state dining room, followed by coffee in the library. They will then retire to one of the gallery bedrooms with views overlooking 1,000 acres of parkland. Before they leave the following day, the guests can also expect breakfast and a private tour of the grounds that will highlight rooms “Downton Abbey” fans know well, including the drawing room and gallery bedrooms.Guests will be waited on by the castle’s butler service(管家服务) during dinner and the re’s strictly one butler allowed per guest, according to house rules.Other stipulations for guests include that all newspapers must be ironed, they must wear cocktail attire to dinner, they can only gossip in the downstairs quarters, and there are no pets allowed. But have no fear, there are nine dogs on site who can’t wait to make your acquaintance.This isn’t the first time the Earl and Countess have opened their doors to the public.Visitors can take tours of the castle between 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. daily from July to September. The castle is also open on various days throughout the year. The couple even hosted the first public Christmas ball at Highclere Castle last year. They’ll be hosting another holiday ball this year, though thespecific date hasn’t been announced yet.“It’s an absolute privilege and pleasure to call Highclere Castle my home and I am delighted to be able to share it on Airbnb for a truly unique stay,” Lady Carnarvon wrote on Airbnb.“Highclere Castle has been in the Carnarvon family since 1679 and has an incredibly rich history,” the Countess added. “I am passionate about the stories and heritage of Highclere Castle, and I am looking forward to welcoming our future guests.”The event builds on the excitement for the “Downton Abbey” film.The film follows the Crawley family as they prepare for a visit from King George V and Queen Mary in 1927. It premieres in theaters on Friday in the US.1.From the passage, we can learn that ________.A.the guests will stay at Highclere Castle on Christmas EveB.Downton Abbey was filmed at Highclere CastleC.Highclere Castle will offer the guests only B&BD.all the visitors will be invited to have caffee2.The stay will ________.A.be reserved on October 1 at 7 p.m. ETB.provide the guests with dinner and coffee in the libraryC.allow guests to take 9 dogs at mostD.witness a Christmas ball on November 26, 20193.The passage is probably a(n) ________.A.film review B.family introduction C.travel advertisement D.castle storyBWe’ve known for years that plants can see, hear, smell and communicate with chemicals. Now, reported New Scientist, they have been recorded making sounds when stressed.In a yet-to-be-published study, Itzhak Khait and his team at Tel Aviv University, in Israel, found that tomato and tobacco plants can make ultrasonic(超声的)noises. The plants “cry out” due to lack of water, or when their stems(茎)are cut. It’s just too high-pitched(音调高的)for humans to hear.Microphones placed 10 centimeters away from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz(千赫兹). Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. “These findings can alter the way we think about the p lant kingdom,” they wrote.On average, “thirsty” tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average.Perhaps most interestingly, different types of stress led to different sounds. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to separate the plants’ sounds from those of the wind, rain and other noises of t he greenhouse. In most cases, it correctly identified whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on a sound’s intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example. Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and tobacco plants, they think other plants also make sounds when stressed.If farmers could hear these sounds, said the team, they could give water to the plants that need it most. As climate change causes more droughts, the y said this would be important information for farmers. “The sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture(精准农业),” said Anne Visscher at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the UK.Khait’s report also suggest that insets and mammals can hear the sounds up to 5 meters away andrespond. For example, a moth(蛾子)may decide not to lay eggs on a water-stressed plant. Edward Farmer, at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, is doubtful. He said that the idea of moths listening to plants is “a little too speculative”.If plants are screaming for fear of their survival, should we be thankful we can’t hear them?4.What did Khait and his team find from their research?A.Plants made low-pitched sounds when in danger.B.Plants were able to produce sounds in response to stresses.C.Plants picked up a wider range of sounds when stressed.D.Plants made ultrasonic noises to communicate with each other.5.How did tomato and tobacco plants react to different stresses according to the text?A.A plant reacted to different stresses with the same sound.B.Cut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than water-hungry ones.C.Cut tobacco plants seemed to make weaker sounds than drought-stressed ones.D.Tobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water.6.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 6?A.The potential applications of the research.B.Challenges facing farmers in the future.C.Farmers ‘contributions to the research.D.What the future agriculture will be like.7.The underlined word “speculative” in the second-to-last paragraph has the closest meaning to“________”.A.practical B.unsuspected C.unsupported D.complicatedCThe latest sports craze is not even a sport. According to a recent article, “e-sports” are attracting a large number of audience.In e-sports, players and teams compete in popular video computer games such as Dota 2 and Ovenvatch. Fans fill arenas to watch the action live on huge television screens.The games have gone way past kids playing against each other while sitting on a sofa at home. The International, a major competition for players of Dota 2, awarded $24 million in prizes, with the winner taking home almost $11 million. A recent e-sports competition attracted more than 80,000 fans to the Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China.I have to admit that I am not a big fan of computer games. I know that some games can be educational, but I think too many kids spend too much time sitting in front of a screen shooting space aliens. I think it would be better if kids spent more time reading or playing real sports such as basketball, baseball and soccer.And please don’t tell me that compet itive gaming is real sport because it requires hand-eye coordination. According to my American Heritage Dictionary, a sport is “an activity involving physical exertion and skill.” I don’t think anyone works up much of a sweat playing video games.Too often, regular sports send kids a kind of message. Competition starts early, when lots of kids are not ready for the ups and downs of games. Tryouts and travel teams come next, giving too many kids the message they are “not good” at sports. So lots of kids quit sports and start playing more video games.Maybe everyone in youth sports, including coaches, parents and kids, should think more about the advantages of real sports.8.What are “e-sports” according to the text?A.Sports events on television screens.B.Video computer game competitions.C.The latest sports in the Olympic Games.D.Easy sports games for kids.9.What might the author think of “e-sports”?A.They are not instructive.B.They should be banned in school.C.They need too much time and money.D.They have some negative influence on children.10.What does the underlined word “exertion” in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Growth. B.Fitness.C.Effort. D.Energy.11.What is the autho r’s purpose in writing the text?A.To introduce a new kind of sport.B.To introduce a competition held in Beijing.C.To explain the importance of playing sports.D.To call on people to pay more attention to traditional sports.DLanguage is perhaps the most distinctive of human characteristics, but its evolution remains a mystery. Our communication is enhanced by turn — taking (轮流说话) — or the orderly exchange of communicative signals — which has been found to be largely universal across cultures. But this turn-taking behavior is actually widespread across the animal kingdom, according to a large-scale review of studies published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.In the study, the researchers stressed that one of the marks of turn-taking across all species is fine timing. For example, in some species of songbird, the gap between the calls of two different birds is often less than 50 milliseconds. On the other hand, communication in some species is much slower. As for sperm whales, the gap between each vocal exchange is around two seconds. In humans, there is usually a gap of roughly 200 milliseconds between turns in a conversation.While many studies have focused on turn-taking behavior in animals, we still know very little about it, partly because the reports are so varied that large-scale cross-species comparison is all but impossible, according to the researchers. “Overall, direct comparisons of turn-taking skills of non-human animals in relation to language origins are highly limited by lack of data, the application of different terms, different study methods and study environments, the authors wrote in the study.” Furthermore, investigations have so far mainly been focusing on single call types or songs of species, limiting a deeper understanding of the variability of turning-taking systems found in the animal kingdom.In light of this, the researchers proposed a new framework for future studies on turn-taking to make cross-species comparisons easier. “The goal of the framework is to promote large-scale cross-species comparisons”, Kobin Kendrick, from the University of York’s Department of Language and Linguistic Science, said in a statement. “Such a framework will allow researchers to trace the history of this evolution of remarkable turn-taking behavior and solve old questions about the origins of human language.”12.What can we learn from the text?A.Turn-taking behavior in all species is well timed.B.Language is the least distinctive of human characteristics.C.The gap between turns in a human conversation is about two seconds.D.Relatively speaking, the gap between the calls of two birds is longer.13.What makes the non-human animal language studies difficult according to the text?a. Lack of data.b. Lack of money.c. Varied reports and studies.d. The application of different terms.A.a b c B.b c dC.a b d D.a c d14.We can infer from the text that .A.cross-species comparison is the hardest to study in the evolution of languageB.turn-taking in animal communication between species is difficult to findC.non-human language studies should be focused on single call typesD.the turn-taking behavior of animals is similar to that of human beings15.Why did the researchers put forward a new framework?A.To encourage more studies on the evolution of turn-taking behaviour.B.To build a link between animal communication and human language.C.To make large-scale cross-species comparisons of turn-taking easier.D.To guide other researchers in how to study animal communication.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)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。

"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届新高考英语模拟导航卷(浙江卷)第五卷
新高考英语模拟导航卷(浙江卷)第五卷1、After college I wanted to make a difference in the world, so I joined a non-profit organization and became a volunteer teacher. I hoped to make a positive impact in Namibia. Honestly, my first choice wasn’t Africa,but I am extrem ely grateful that I was sent there.Various tribes(部落) and racial groups live in Namibia, and a number of languages are spoken. When Namibia gained independence in 1990, English became the official language. Teachers were supposed to teach in English, but many lacked the language skills to do so. My job was to train the teachers. Schools were quite bare. Some classrooms consisted merely of sticks stuck in the sand and a metal roof. Because both boys and girls shaved their heads, I learned to distinguish them by their uniforms:girls wore skirts.The students had tiring days. They walked miles to get to school, often barefoot. They also did many daily chores. They fetched water, gathered firewood and cooked meals. Even with their mountains of work, few possessions and little opportunity, these children were joyful. I admired that.This was the first time that I had lived abroad in a different culture and with a host family. Simply getting accustomed to the living conditions was a big adjustment. I had no electricity, running water, phone or Internet. However, I could end each day with a splendid African sunset. And at night,I had an unbelievable,light-pollution-free view of the entire Milky Way. I never thought I would live in such an environment. My experience awakened me to not only the limitations we place on ourselves, but also our amazing ability to adapt.Travel, step outside of your comfort zone and immerse(使沉浸在) yourself in another culture. You won’t regret it.1.Why does the author feel grateful?A.He managed to stick to his choice.B.He was exposed to a different culture.C.He influenced Namibia positively.D.He joined a non-profit organization.2.How does the author find his life in Africa?A.Dull but delightful.B.Tiring but inspiring.C.Dangerous but meaningful.D.Inconvenient but rewarding.3.What is the text mainly about?A.A voluntary experience.B.A country of wonders.C.An influence on Namibia.D.A big adjustment abroad.2、The seabird population on a small British island off the coast of North Devon has increased quickly following the removal of rats.There has been growth in the numbers of Manx shearwaters, puffins and guillemots on Lundy Island 15 years after a conservation project to remove its rats ended. The project was launched in 2003 by the Landmark Trust, the National Trust and the Royal Society for the Protection ofBirds(RSPB) , and aimed to kill the rats because they were the biggest threat to the survival of the birds. A cull(选择性宰杀) costing 50,000 pounds was used to gel rid of 40,000 rats on the island when puffin numbers fell to fewer than 10 pairs.Helen Booker, Senior Conservation Officer for RSPB in South West England, said the organization is delighted with the results. “This study clearly shows how quic kly and positively seabirds respond to the removal of non-native predators(捕食性动物)," she said. "Of course, we had expected major population increases when the project was launched, but the scale of this recovery was far beyond our expectations."Dean Jones, the inspector on Lundy, which is managed by the Landmark Trust, said the recovery of the seabirds was a positive, but that it is important to remain cautious. "It is exciting to see this level of recovery in Manx shearwaters, one of our most important seabirds. In spring the island comes alive at night with the sound of these amazing birds. The increases in puffins, guillemots and razorbills are also very encouraging for the future of seabirds on Lundy and we are maintaining our attention to ensure rat s cannot return lo the island.”A recent study found that nearly 10 percent of endangered bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile species could be saved by culling invasive (侵入的)mammals such as cats and rats on 169 islands. But rat removal programs have been controversial with some animal rights activists, who have argued that the black rat is one of the country’s most endangered mammals.1.Why did the UK carry out the project to remove rats?A.To kill invasive species.B.To save seabirds in danger.C.To keep balance in nature.D.To decrease the rats’ number.2.What do we know about the rat removal project?A.It is favored by animal rights groups.B.It started when guillemots had nearly died out.C.It has protected 10% of species on the UK's 169 islands.D.It contributes to more increases in seabirds than expected.3.What will be done next according to Dean Jones?A.Plan the future of seabirds.B.Speed up the recovery of seabirds.C.Keep a careful watch for rats.D.Continue to drive away rats and cats.4.Where is the text most likely from?A.A news report.B.A research paper.C.A biology textbook.D.A medical magazine.3、Understanding what teens are talking about has been a great problem for parents and teachers for ages. One high school teacher in Massachusetts found a smart solution.James Callahan of Lowell High School created a spreadsheet of all the colloquial(口语的) terms his students have used along with his attempt to define them, and people on social media are having a field day. "I often overhear students in the hallways or classrooms using words or slang terms in their personal conversations," Callahan told reporters. "In order to understand them better and form a relationship with them on a personal level, I started asking them what certain words meant."He even posted online a photo of a four-page document titled "Callahan's Generation Z Dictionary". In the left column, he typed out vocabularies like "sis" and "snack". In the right column, he attempts to define each vocabulary using a formal interpretation of what the students say. For example, "secure(d) the bag" translates loosely into "money received".Some people applauded the professor’s interest in teenage culture. "The typical teacher-student relationship involves a rigid power structure, but in my experience, I've found that students are more engaged and perform better if I am able to reach where they are," Callahan said. Some students say Callahan pulled up the document in class so that the class could help him update the definitions of "bops" and "jams". " Mr. Callahan asked if any enjoyable song is a 'bop' and someone clarified, saying that the song has to be modem with the element of dancing," one of hisstudents said. "Mr. Callahan asked if an old song or a rock & roll piece can be a 'bop' to which a student answered, matter-of-factly :‘No. That’s a jam.'"Surprised at and excited about the fact that the dictionary went viral(广为传播的) online, Callahan said the unofficial guide to teenage language breaks up the lesson, gets the students involved and provides them with some ownership of the dictionary. "Language is so flexible, and every generation creates their own vocabulary bank of slang. The students created it, and 1 am sort of just the recorder!"1.Why did Callahan creat e "Callahan’s Generation Z Dictionary”?A.To better connect with students.B.To improve students' interest in learning.C.To help parents understand children better.D.To change the traditional teacher-student relationship.2.What does Paragraph 3 focus on?A.The name of the dictionary.B.The phrases the dictionary collected.C.The structure of the dictionary.D.The photo posted on the Internet.3.Which might be a "bop" according to Callahan’s dictionary?A.Modern piano music.B.Pop music with dance.C.Classical jazz music.D.Rock & roll music.4、Time after time, I am on different internet forums, and I end up communicating with people who want to start a blog or website and are, “going to get started soon”, "thinking about it", or “still going over my options”, and so on.While a bit of planning and research will serve you well when starting any project, often months later, these same people are “still thinking about it”.While there are many reasons that may stop someone from even starting a project they have in mind, fear being the most obvious, the idea of perfectionism seems to be the second most.①______________There is a proverb, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” There is no such thing as the perfect plan. In fact, you spend so much time being concerned about getting everything right and perfect but it wears your initial enthusiasm down. ②______________Yes, you should want to be reaching for excellence, but who starts out with being excellent? Excellence will only come from trial and error.Just make a decision and start following through. Forget trying to be a perfectionist.③______________It comes from the belief that, “anything I do that is less than perfect is not worth doing”. This way of thinking leads to one b ecoming discouraged and then failed even to start your project.To start, just begin with something that is good enough, and then keep working to improve on it. Make a basic plan, take action, and then start improving the actual results. ④______________ Let go of the fear, stop thinking and start doing, and forget starting out with, “it’s got to be perfect.”I’ll leave you with the words of an actual doer, who was not a perfect person, and all his decisions were not perfect. ⑤______________ “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”A. In fact, perfectionism is an unhealthy belief.B. I’ll provide you with some examples of action.C. Yet the only way to a solution is to start doing.D. However, he is an example to be followed today.E. Once you begin, it’s often less painful to keep working.F. Getting started on a project is not a life and death decision.G. The result is that time passes and so does the perfect moment.5、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A.Annoyed.B.Curious.C.Proud.D.Regretful.CHeads up!Across the country,sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes.Now,the American Medical Association(AMA)has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions—serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuringthat 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 brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation—related activities occur in the U.S.every year.A study from the center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40%of high school athletes return to playing before they should.The AMA’s new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8.Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A.To raise safety standards of sports.B.To protect athletes from concussions.C.To set rules for health care evaluation.D.To help players return to the game quickly.9.What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A.Avoid using the head.B.Leave the field forever.C.Get treatment in time.D.Switch to another sport.10.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A.What a concussion is.B.What causes damage to brain cells.C.How the CDC works.D.How a concussion can be prevented.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Rules for Safer Play B.Sports Injuries in the USC.Advice to Athletes D.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 anic farms do not use agricultural chemicals,such as pesticides(杀虫剂).In many countries organic foods have special labels.These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown.Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult.The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply.Small companies had to sell out to large companies.There weren’t enough organic ingredients(原料),such as grain and cattle.This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business.Today,many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious?This is part ofthe debate.Many farmers and consumers believe it is.They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such ascancer.Many health professionals disagree.Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria(病毒),such as E.coli and salmonella.These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food.Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better.Is tastier food worth the extra money?This is a matter of opinion.Whether it is healthier or not may require more research.However,organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers? A.Price.B.Safety. C.Freshness.D.Variety.13.What is the doctors’suggestion?A.Grow your own food.B.Reduce the use of pesticides.C.Make sure the food is clean.D.Buy large companies’products.14.Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A.It tastes better.B.It is easierto grow.C.It contains more fat.D.It is more nutritious.15.Where does this text probably come from?A.A recipe book.B.A chemistry paper.C.A medical report.D.A health magazine.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
专题05 阅读理解之议论文(解析版)2020年高考英语5-6月最新全国卷模拟题汇编(第二辑)
专题05阅读理解之议论文1.(2020届安徽省蚌埠市高三第三次质检)Scientist,conservation organizations and government trying to stop the trend of extinction (灭绝)often focus on protected areas such as national parks and wildlife preserves. But with as many as million species(物种)at risk,this plan of action may not be enough to conserve wildlife.Slowing the mass extinction that now appears to be underway will require more creative means of coexisting alongside wild plants and animals. A new study indicates the effectiveness of some such approaches by examining some lands managed by indigenous groups.“ We show really strongly that,from a biodiversity standpoint in terms of species richness,indigenous -managed lands are at least comparable to protected areas,” says biologist Richard Schuster of Carleton University. And in some places,they are better than parks and preserves -even though indigenous communities may use their lands’ resources by hunting or searching for food.Schuster and his team analyzed more than 15,000 areas in Australia,Brazil and Canada. They found that the total diversity of wildlife was highest on lands either managed or co -managed by indigenous groups,while randomly selected areas with no formal protection were the least bio-diverse. For threatened species in particular,indigenous lands scored slightly higher than protected lands on overall species richness in Brazil and Canada,as well as higher for threatened animals in Australia.Each country has a different geography,climate and history. Yet remarkably,Schuster says,the best indicator for species diversity is whether a given area was managed by an indigenous community. He pointed out that practices such as sustainable(可持续的)hunting,fishing and searching,as well as burning,are more likely to occur in such areas. Don Hankins,an ecologist at California State University,agrees. “ there’ s probably going to be more of a connection to the land,” he says,“ and a use of the land for the things that are there,compared to a national park. ”“ It’ s really important to listen to the people who live on the land and have them drive the stewardship efforts going forward,” Schuster says,adding that partnering with indigenous communities may enable the world’ s countries to better meet a wide range of conservation goals:“ We really need all the help we can get as a global community to prevent species extinction that we’ re facing right now. ”8.What does the underlined word “ indigenous” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A.Social. B.Native.C.Protected. D.Threatened.9.What did Richard Schuster find in his study?A.National parks are even higher in species diversity.B.Indigenous communities overhunted on their lands.C.Some preserves almost have no formal protection.D.Indigenous lands do better in keeping bio-diversity.10.Which of the following statements may Don Hankins agree with?A.Species diversity depends on geographical positions.B.Humans’ everyday activities are no longer sustainable.C.Indigenous groups have a close bond with their lands.D.Protected areas work perfectly in wildlife protection.11.What is the text mainly about?A.Beating back extinction. B.Dealing with environmental problems.C.Setting up nature reserves. D.Fighting against unsustainable behaviors.【答案】8.B9.D10.C11.A【解析】本文为议论文。

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. 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.【语篇解读】这是一篇应用文。

AIf you hear the word“Castle” or the word“palace”,you may picture the same kind of building for both:large,made of stones,probably with a tower. And,of course,you're not entirely wrong,as those are features of both palaces and castles.So then hay bother to visit one royal building in the United Kingdom Buckingham Palace and another the same country Windsor Castle?It turns out there is a difference,and youcan find it pretty plainly in these two popular buildings.The Case for CastlesCastles were residences for royalty.But they were also intend as defensive seats. Say you're a king who has taken a particular area over.Now you have to hold it. castle and staff it with soldiers to defend your conquered territory and ensure it remains part of your kingdom.Castles were built throughout Europe and the Middle East primarily for protection of the king and his people.Some common features of castles include:●thick walls and heavy gates to keep invaders out●protective low walls for archers to shoot with cover●high towers for keeping a lookout over the surrounding●gate houses for admitting allies instead of allowing enemies intothe castleThe Place for PalacesPalaces, on the contrary, had no defensive purposes.They were first meant for showing off the great victory of the war.Palaces were where the spoils(战利品) of war might be displayed,along with grand architecture,massive banquet halls,golden table settings and maybe even hundreds of luxuriously decorated rooms.While kings certainly took up residence in palaces as well as castles,nonmilitary royals might also have lived in (or still live in)palaces. Ministers could live in castles to show the power of their riches rather than their nonexistent military power. The term comes from Palatine Hill in Rome.1.Which of the flowing is one feature of castles?A. Low towers surrounding castles.B. Defensive low walls for shooting.C. Gatehouses allowing enemies into the castle.D. Thick walls and heavy gates to lock invaders in.2. Why were palaces first built?A. To accommodate ordinary soldiers.B.

She also decides to reach out to the community in the neighborhood for support.She wrote,“Hi! My name is Alice and I'm a senior at Sunset! The SHS student government is hosting a drive and collecting the canned and boxed food for needy families. I know many students in the slum (贫民窟) are not able to access regular meals without school. One-hundred percent of everything donated will go to families in need. So it would be amazing if anybody could donate any extra food and lay it around the house. I would be so happy to come by and pick up any extra food that anyone has and just let me know!”So far, the community has made some 400 donations, and Alice has picked up each one.They're left in brown paper bags around their houses, and she handles them with the latest gloves. It's all packaged food, and the packaging is cleaned with disinfected wipes. Along with the rest of the student union, which brainstormed the idea last week,Alice is setting updistribution centers to dispense the food in the city so families can get what they need.“In the community, I've seen so many people offering their help ,and I've picked up so many donations from community residents,”Alice said. It's nice to see people supporting each other.I think it's really good hat we're belong more cautious, especially within the community,Alice says.Every individual is aware of how to take care of themselves, their family and others them.They join hands make a big difference indeed, With everyone's efforts,the donation work goes on easily and smoothly and many poor families has got help.4.

To donate food to the students in her school.6. What does the underlined word“dispense”in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Recycle.B. Hand out.C.Gain.D. Chew up.7. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. East or west, home is best.B. it's good to learn此another man's cost.C. Actions speak louder than words.D.Many hands make work light.COn the last Monday in May,people in the United States celebrate Memorial Day. This federal holiday honors members of the American military who died at war. Schools and government offices close. Most people in the US have this day off from work. People celebrate Memorial Day with outdoor parades.Most Americans consider it the start of summer though the season really begins in June.With so many people off work, Memorial Day has also become a popular shopping day. However, on most occasions Memorial Day is a serious and even sorrowful holiday. Those who have lost family members at war visit burial sites to decorate the graves. They place flowers,wreaths and US flags on the graves.Memorial Day comes from a tradition that began after the US Civil War called Decoration Day. The Civil War was a very dark time in the US history.Historians have long thought that about 620,000 soldiers died in the fighting. However, new research suggests that the dead numbered about 750,000.In 1868, about 5,000 people gathered at Arlington National Cemetery on the edge of Washington, D. C. They decorated more than 10,000 graves of Union and Confederate soldiers. They called it Decoration Day. boneThe tradition spread to other areas of the country. In 1873,New York State called it Memorial Day and was the first to make it a legal-holiday. Other States allowed, but not all.Some southern states had (and-still have) separate celebrations that honor only dead Confederate soldiers.After World War I ended in 1918, Memorial Day became a day to honor all American soldiers killed at war. In 1971,Congress passed a law making it an official federal holiday all over America.8.What's the purpose of Memorial Day in America?A. To mark the start of summer.B. To let people enjoy themselves.C. To show respect to dead soldiers.D. To set a holiday to encourage soldiers.9. What's the atmosphere of American Memorial Day like on most occasions?A. Sad.B. Casual.C. Pleasant.D. Relaxing.10. When did Memorial Casual,become a legal holiday throughout the US?A. In 1971.B. In 1873.C. In 1918.D. In 1868.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Celebration Activities of Memorial Day in the USB. The Prospect of American Memorial DayC. Members Honored on American Memorial DayD. The Evolution on Memorial Day in the USDThe other day,I bought an expensive anti-aging cream that promised to make my face look several years younger that other women by fighting free radicals(自由基).It made me curious about what free radicals ares.Is the anti-aging cream the only way I need to protect myself?“As a scientific term,free radicals are essentially unstable atoms,”says Arizona--based doctor, Natasha Bhuyan,M. D.“In medicine, they cause cells to break down over time and are linked to aging.”A super simple chemistry review for you: Atoms from different elements are the building blocks that make up water, nitrogen and more. Electrons (电子) are the negatively charged atoms, and they like to be in pairs. When an electron loses its partner, it creates a free radical, which is usually unstable and highly reactive. Free radicals typically go through the body to seek out a replacement for their missing electron, and that can result in damage to cells,proteins and DNA.So how do free radicals form and why do they happen? Bhuyan says,“Scientifically, free radicals are unpaired electrons that are seeking a mate to bond with. The theory behind free radicals is that they can lead to the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants (抗氧化剂).”Another mini- science lesson for you: Antioxidants are natural or man made matters that can help delay or prevent some types of cell damage.They' re often found in fruits and vegetables.A lot of the aspects of modern life —our diet, lifestyle and environmental factors like pollution, can cause oxidative stress. Over time, oxidative stress weakens cell and tissues and can leave you more easily to certain health issues including cancer.And,as beauty marketers are keenly aware,oxidative stress can also speed up the aging process. Now that your know free radicals can weak on your health,you're probably wondering if there are any ways to prevent them from forming or at least to minimize their negative effects.12.What does the author intend to do in paragraph?A. Explain the process of aging.B. State the formation of free radicals,C. Introduce the topic of free radicals.D. Describe the harm of anti aging cream.13. Which of the following do free radicals refer to?A. Unpaired electrons.B. Steady atoms.C. Replacements of atoms.D. Functions of electrons.14. What can we learn about antioxidants from the text?A. They have never been found in nature.B. They do harm to cells, proteins and DNA.C. They can slow down the damage of some cells.D. They always keep balance with free radical.15. What will the author probably tell us next?A. What exactly oxidative stress is.B. How beauty marketers promote sales.C. Where a variety of diseases come from.D. Whether free radicals can be prevented.第二节 (共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)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。

While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different than the other kids’. But at lea st I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them,black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a backgroun d, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.26.

The passage was written in a way of _________ tone.A. humorousB. hatefulC. ridiculousD. criticalBAs is reported, 113,000,000 Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They use credit cards in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in different places, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon----it's already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cashregisters(记录器) can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving.

BThere is now a museum for pizza lovers in America’s pizza capital, New York City. The Museum of Pizza is devoted to pizza, cheese and sauce, but there’s more to it than meets the tougue.“It’s often that the simplest ideas are the best. And we wanted to use pizza’s appeal to get people through the door and to look at art and hear about history in a different forms,” said Alexandra Serio, Chief Content Officer at Nameless Network, the group that baked the Museum of Pizza idea. Another instantly recognizable characteristic of the space is the bright colors that are weaved (穿行) throughout the exhibits—perfect for taking social media-ready pictures.Located on the street level of Brooklyn’s William Vale hotel, the museum is a large, one-floor space that houses a wide variety of art, from giant photographs to sculptures that surround visitors.Serio said exhibits of this kind are becoming an advantage for museums as they try to get younger legs to walk through their doors. “It’s a kind of change,” she said. “You’ll see it in the next few years because of museums like the Museum of Ice Cream, and multiple pop-ups (出现) of this kind of museums suiting a younger audience andseeing how they can make their exhibitions more attractive, touch and photography friendly.”“Honestly, I thought it would be like more of a museum in the beginning, with the pizza boxes a nd it tells you when it was developed and things like that,” said Nene Raye, visitor from New Jersey.Lydia Melendez, a self-described “pizza fan”, bought her tickets in April and for her, this experience was worth the wait. “I thought it was going to be kind of boring, like I’m going to walk in and there’s just going to be a book about pizza and how to make it, but this is definitely one for the books.” she said.24. What’s a noticeable attraction of the pizza-themed museum according to Serio?A. It covers a large area.B. Visitors can bake pizza in it.C. It’s perfect for taking amazing pictures.D. Its exhibits are arranged in the simplest way.【语篇导读】这是一篇新闻报道类记叙文。
