Relatives from all over the country would come in to visit. The adults would crowd together in the livingroom to talk and catch up on each other’s li ves. And the kids would be sent out into the front yard to play when dinner was slowly cooked for all of us.Those were the days before video games, smart phones, and motorized toys, so we often ended up playing anold game. I remember one of those moments especially. As I was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, Igot caught first and couldn’t catch anyone else. My brothers and cousins were all too fast for me, and I grew more and more frustrated. I finally fell my face first into the dirt. I got up with tears forming in my eyes. Then I saw oneof my female cousins Susan standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before. I easilycaught up and seized her. Then she turned to me, smiled, andsaid, I’m it! You’d better run! I ran off laughing with glee while she turned and started to chase others.Now I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and returned me to joy. It didnthat we hardly ever saw each other. I know we are family and she loves me.In her wonderful book Box of Butterflies, Roma Downey writes, “We are all one, we all belong to each other,Perhaps it is time that we all started to treat each other that way. Perhaps itand we are one big, beautiful family.”is time that we shared our love, our kindness, our laughter, and our joy with everyone without fear.

A good deed is invaluable.CPlease take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet todaywhat yo u’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it fehould have kept your mouth shut, becauseout loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you sthat good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not ben you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(认可) it, satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But whepsychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’sthe actual hard work necessary.done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to doThis goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he didsome new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote downtheir personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺) to this goal to the room, and half didn Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who hadannounced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.28. What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Completion of the goal.B. Necessary hard work.C. People’s acknowledgement. D. A sense of satisfaction.29. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.30. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal?A. By giving figures.B. By giving examples.C. By making a survey.D. By making comparison tests.31. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?A. You will be more confident.B. You will not gain satisfaction.C. You are less likely to realize it.D. You’ll be much more motivated.DCompared with solar and wind energy, which are booming, tidal(潮汐的) power is a loser in the clean-energy competition. But if you did want to build a tidal power station, there are few better sites than the mouth of theRiver Severn, in Britain. Its tidal range, the difference in depth between high and low tides, of around 15 metres isamong the largest in the world.Engineers and governments have been toying with the idea since at least 1925. But none of the suggestedprojects has materialised. Price is one objection. A study thought that tidal energy might cost between ￡216 and ￡368($306-521) per MWh of electricity by 2025, compared with ￡58-75 for seagoing wind turbines(轮机) and￡55-76 for solar panels. Environmentalists also worry that any plant would change the tides, making life harder for wildlife.An engineer called Rod Rainey thinks he has a way around both problems. He plans to replace the conventional turbines of previous plans with a much older technology. Specifically, he plans to span(横跨) theriver mouth with a line of water wheels. This is a design that dates back to the early days of the Industrial Revolution. Examples can be found fixed to the sides of old watermills(水磨).But there would be nothing old-fashioned about Mr Rainey’s wheels. Thirty metres high and sixty wide, they would be made from ordinary steel. Two hundred and fiftyof them, along with the supporting structures, would be floated into place and secured to the seabed, creating a line 15km long. Together, they could supply power at anaverage rate of 4GW. That is about as much as two biggish nuclear power stations would manage. Substitutingone of the wheels with a set of locks would provide a shipping channel about twice the width of Panama Canal, permitting upstream ports such as Avonmouth and Cardiff to continue operating.32. What is special about the mouth of the River Seven?A. The tidal range there is about 15 meters.B. It has the largest tidal range in the world.C. The tidal power station has been built there.D. Its power plant makes life harder for wildlife.s initial attitude towards tidal power?33. What was people’A. Opposed.B. Supportive.C. Controversial.D. Doubtful.34. What are the locks used for?A. Support.B. Transportation.C. Securing wheels.D. Producing electricity.35. What’s the best tittle for the text?A. Rainey invented turbines.B. Rainey’s tidal power station.C. Tidal power in the River Seven.D. An old idea might be made practical.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。

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? It’s terrible,”said Londoner Michaela Samson,31.4.What are the challenges that British farmers face according toCharlotte Hollins?a.lonelinessb.thin profitsc.a lack of good equipmentd.long working hours but slow resultsA.abcB.abdC.acdD.bcd5.Why did Oliver Robinson refuse to stay on the farm?A.He hoped for a simpler life.B.He was fed up with a hard farm life.C.Farm life was too demanding though he liked it.D.He hoped for something challenging and rewarding.6.Which of the following can be Farmers’Markets’strong point?A.Lower prices.B.Flexible sizes.C.Convenient location.D.Healthier food.7.What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?A.Things are improving for independent farms in the UK.B.Farming in the UK can now match the powerful supermarkets.C.Most British people now feel doubtful of foods in big supermarkets.D.Most British people have realized the problems facing farms and begin to save farms.4.B细节题。

2020年高考英语仿真冲刺卷（五）第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AThree men have had a big influence on modern sound and communication technologies. We started with the beginnings of computer-generated music.Max Vernon MathewsMax Vernon Mathews has been called the father of computer music.He created electronic tools so that people could use computers, as musical instruments.He had a huge influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written, recorded and played.In 1957, Max wrote the first: computer program, Music,to enable a computer to create sound and play it back. The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music. in seventeen seconds.For that reason,Mathews moved the work to a tape player, which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed.Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program.He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios.The Groove program he developed was the first computer program made for live performances.Norio OhgaSony Corporation official Norio Ohga helped to develop, the compact disc in the late 1970s.He pushed for CDs to be larger, and with a longer playing time.He wanted them to hold seventy-five minutes so that they could store all of Bcethoven's Ninth Symphony on one disc.This way, listeners could enjoy the musical work without any break.The compact disc changed the electronics industry and the way people listened to music.Hubert Joseph SchlaflyHubert Joseph Schlafly was an electrical engineer who helped change the way actors, politicians and other people speak on television.In 1950, he and two other men developed the teleprompter.One co-worker, Fred Barton, was an actor.He had an idea for a tool that would help television actors read their lines without having to memorize them.The first teleprompter involveda person who turned a long plece of paper printed with tall letters, As the actor read the lines, another person would, move the paper ahead on the ter versions used television screens to show the words that were to be read.1. Why did Mathews give up using computers to create sound and play it back?A. Because he wanted to use computers as musical instruments.B. Becaus e he couldn’t create sound on computers.C. Because he wanted to enjoy musical work without any break.D. Because he wanted to find better ways to create sound with modern technologies.2. What's the meaning of the underlined word teleprompter?A. 投影仪B. 电子提词机C. 屏蔽仪D. 显示屏3. From the writing, we can learn that________.A. Mathews' first computer program could play the music at a normal speedB. the Groove program was the first computer program made for live performances by Hubert Joseph Schlafly.C. owing to Norio Ohga, people can enjoy all of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony on one disc.D. only Hubert Joscph Schlafly and Fred Barton worked together to develop the prompter.BOur tolerating ability is indeed way beyond our imagination.But not until the very critical moment will we realize our potential tolerating ability.There was a woman in the countryside who got married at the age of 18 and had to escape with her two daughters and a son wherever she could at the age of 26 due to the Japanese army’s invasion, Many people could not bear the suffering of being a fugitive (逃亡者)and wanted to commit suicide.Knowing that, she would come to those people and soothed them by saying, "Don' t do that silly thing.There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome.The Japanese armies are bound to be driven away one day!”Finally, she insisted until the day when all the Japanese armies were kicked out ofChina.However, her son died of disease without sufficient medicine and nutrition in those days of hardships.Her husband, after knowing the death of his son, lay in bed for two days without eatingand drinking anything.She teared to her husband and said, “We have a tough destiny, but however tough our lives will be, we should persist in our efforts.”After she gave birth to the second son, her husband died of edema (水肿), which almost, blew her away.But eventually, she recovered and embraced the three young children, saying, "My sweet hearts, don,: feel scared.You still have me, your dear mum!”It took her painstaking efforts to raise her children up and, the life of her family was getting better and better.Two daughters were married and so was her son finally.She said to everyone she met,"Look! What I said is ly right.There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome! My life is so happy now!”She lived until 86.Before she went to Heaven, she said to her children, You all should live to your best.There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome!”4. What does the underlined word"soothed"in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Criticized.B. Evaluated.C. Thrilled.D. Comforted.5. what caused the woman’s son’s death?A. Japanese invasion.B. Her husband's death.C. Lack of nutrition and medicine.D. a disease called edema.6. Which of the following best describes the woman?A. Persistent.B. MiserableC. Scared.D. Intolerant.7. The passage mainly wants to tell us that__________.A. the woman was leading a tough lifeB. the woman showed great love to her kidsC. hardships can be overcome with an iron will and strong tolerating abilityD. invading other countries would make people there suffer a lotCSome people think going to the gym takes time and effort, it often hurts, and it can be extremely boring.Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps(几次几组).In order to see any significant change from any one exercise,it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, for a minimum of three sets, for about three months: Then there' s aerobics(有氧运动).For some, there's nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill(跑步机).But what if there is a way to reduce the boredom of exercise while still getting a good workout? Luckily for us, there’s virtual reality (VR).“In the past, playing video games was a sedentary(久坐不动的) experience:,"says Jo Stauffer of the VR Heaitn-institute, but VR changes all of that.” Many, VR games are played while standing In order to play properly, the players are forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs.After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it's not surprising, that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter .There are already a number of virtual reality games which, deliberately or not, result in their player “getting a good sweat on” if played for enough time.For example, there's a music game which forces players to shadow box(做空拳攻防练习) in order to hit the notes---that's an upper-body workout.The benefit of VR has been noticed by one company.They want to take the whole experience into the gym. They are making a resistance machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual competitor in a series of games,which results in a30-minute full-body workout.However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out, says J.P.Gownder from the consultancy Forrester.Although it's early days, for those: of us who struggle to overcome the boredom of exercise,a new solution could be coming.And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want-virtual or not.So don' t give up exercising.8. What conclusion can we draw from the first paragraph?A. Most weight-related exercises nearly have no effect.B. Some people think exercising in the gym is difficult and tiring.C. Running on a treadmill wont bring significant change.D You'd better not go to the gym because of the risk of injury.9. Compared with video games, VR games____________.A. bring more fun to play.B. take people less free time.C. are more likely to bring players health benefits.D. are more popular with people nowadays .10. What can we know about the resistance machine?A. It has been widely used in the gym.B. There are some disadvantages of it.C. J.P. Gownder highly recommends it.D. When using it, people need to have a partner.11. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Virtual exercise in the gym.B. Keep going to the gymC. The boredom of exerciseD. The popularity of VR games.DThe problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.That’s becaus e there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is stilldone over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.12. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?A Panicked. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.13. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ________.A. aim at victims preciselyB. damage databases easilyC. start campaigns rapidlyD. spread information widely14. What does the passage imply?A. Honesty is the best policy.B. Technologies can be double-edged.C. There are more solutions than problems.D. Credibility holds the key to development.15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is RootedB. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of RobocallsC. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More DangerousD. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology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。

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。

For those who work outside of a traditional office or just want to take time out, there’s a new alternative in London: a pay-per-minute cafe.You can stay for as long as you like in the Ziferblat coffee shop. You'll be given a clockwhen you come in to keep time. When you leave, you return the item and pay the bill. The cost of hanging out, eating, working and meeting new people in the place is 3 pence per minute—or £1.80 an hour. The shop’s owner, Ivan Meetin, says: ‘‘Everything is free, (23) ________the time you spend there”. Customers help (24) ________to coffee and cookies. They can also bring their own food to eat when (25) ________ (connect) to the Internet through Wi-Fi.Meetin’s customers clearly are not the types who rush to work with a paper cup (26) ________ (drink) from at their desks.

Each word can onlySnow school closures ‘no harm to learning’Closing schools on occasional days because of bad weather does not damage learning, research shows. The research wanted to find an answer to the winter argument about whether schools should _____31____ to stay open in heavy snow or shut their doors. Seven years of school test data showed no evidence that snow closures negatively affected results. The worst disruption was caused when schools tried to stay open but many staff and pupils were____32_____. The study, carried out by Joshua Goodman, assistant professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School in Massachusetts in the US, was an attempt to ____33_____ the impact of school days lost to bad weather.Almost as soon as the first winter snowflake falls, there are debates about whether schools should be kept open. The study suggests there are _____34____ arguments for them being closed. Prof Goodman was asked by the Massachusetts education department to find out whether there really was any loss to learning from snow closures. Looking at test results in the US state between 2003-10, he found no evidence that pupil _____35____ had been affected when schools were occasionally shut. A former high school teacher himself, Prof Goodman says schools can easily adapt to short-term closures, ____36_____their plans for the rest of the term. Such a clean break seemed to cause less disruption than trying to stay open, when many pupils might not be able to get into school. This creates a knock-on effect of pupils trying to catch up, he says. And this does seem to have a negative impact on results. Prof Goodman says that arguments over a few days of snow closures can often become very “emotional”---and they_____37____ that many pupils miss a greater number of school days through other types of absenteeism, such as____38_____.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Obviously, I did not feel so ready for the early races in my career as the races we’ve done recently.

The only way to develop those _____44____is to get out and race or do long training trips with your team-mates and friends.Adventure races are such a huge ____45_____that when you enter a race you always think, “Am 1 ready? Did I train enough? Did I forget something?” I remember one race in particular, my very first Eco-Challenge and only my second race ever. When I did it, I felt totally _____46____ and unprepared. Most of my fear was due to lack of_____47____ and knowledge. I really had no idea what I was getting in to because I had never done a 24-hour race before. Even so, we won it somehow, and were invited to compete in the Eco-Challenge in Australia.Then we went to Australia and entered the race. We didn’t plan a _____48____ at all, but just ran as fast as possible from the start. Keeping my mouth shut and following my team-mates, I just tried to keep up with my team, who were more experienced than I was. Although we arrived at a few of the check points in first place and were among the top five, I knew we didn't ____49_____ there.______50___ , two of my team-mates decided not to continue the race after just a day and a half. One was feeling ill—he was just too tired to carry on, while another had severe problems with his feet but we had been going so fast that he felt ____51_____asking us to stop so he could take care of his blisters (水泡). The other two of us, feeling fresh still, had to ____52_____ with the rest of our team. Four days later, we watched in____53_____as the winners crossed the finishing line.

A. promised B. requested C. offered D. agreedSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Who wants to be a millionaire? has been one of the most popular television quiz shows in Britain. In the show, the host asks a question and gives the contestant four possible answers. If the contestant gets the right answer, they win the money say £100—and then go on to the next question for, say, £250. The money increases for each question until, if the contestant has answered all the other questions correctly, the prize for the final question is one million pounds.In this extract from a show some years ago, the host of the show is television personality Chris Tarrant. Answering the questions is an ex-army officer, Charles Ingram.TARRANT: What kind of garment is an ‘Anthony Eden’？An overcoat, hat，shoe，tie?INGRAM: I think it is a hat.A cough from the audience.INGRAM: Again Tm not sure. I think it is ...Coughing from the audience.INGRAM: I am sure it is a hat. Am I sure?Coughing from the audience.INGRAM: Yes, hat, ifs a hat.In that show, Charles finally won a million pounds. But something wasn’t quite right. Charles Ingram didn't really seem very sure of himself; he obviously didn't know the answer at first. To many in the audience that night, it seemed as if he frequently repeated an answer as if waiting for a signal.He was.Charles Ingram's wife Diana was in the audience, and so too was a man with the extraordinary name of Tecwen Whittock. He had a bad cough. But a man sitting next to him in theaudience noticed that there was something strange about the cough. It was too loud, and it wasn't very regular. It only happened occasionally, almost as if he was coughing on purpose.He was.The three of them, Charles Ingram, Diana Ingram and Tecwen Whittock, had planned the whole thing. Whittock coughed to tell Charles when he had the correct answer. They began to notice it in the television control room, but at first they didn't believe it. In the end, though, it was just too obvious, and when tapes from the programme were played to a court in London a year later, there was no doubt. Charles and Diana Ingram were guilty of cheating on a game show. They were given prison sentences of 18 months and fined £15,000 each. Tecwen Whittock was sentenced to 12 months in prison and fined £10,000.Did the Ingrams and Tecwen Whittock get an appropriate sentence? How ‘bad' is it to cheat a television quiz show in which winning money is a matter of chance anyway? It is crimes like this that challenge our concepts of what is right and what is wrong, and since administering justice in the courts means that we have to decide on how serious something is (is robbery more or less serious than driving too fast, for example), the case of the cheating Ingrams is an excellent one to consider.56.We can learn from the extract of the show that Charles was his answer.A.pleased withB. surprised atC. sure ofD. hesitant over57.The pronoun “He”（in paragraph 7) refers to__________.A.Charles IngramB. Tecwen WhittockC.the man sitting next to Charles IngramD. the man sitting next to Tecwen Whittock58.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The three people were given the same fine and sentence. 'B.Diana Ingrain let Tecwen know which choice was correct.C.Tecwen told Charles which answer was right by coughing.D.It was the Ingrams that made the first plan for the cheating.59.According to the writer, what is the point of the case?A.It can offer a perspective to judge the severity level of crimes.B.It has been the first cheating case that is related to reality shows.C.It achieved the purpose of having the court reconsider the sentencing.D.It may serve as a warning for those who also want to do the same thing.(B)Read the two people’s quotes below and answer the questions that follow.Dr Michio KakuPhysicist and professor40,000 people will work in spaceDr Michio Kaku is a professor at the City College of New York and a graduate of Harvard University. His book, The Physics of the Impossible, is about how science fiction technology may be possible in the future.‘By 2030, space tourism will almost certainly be common and around 40,000 people willwork in space. A company called the Space Island Group is planning to build an international space station with hotels, research facilities, restaurants and sports arenas (for new zero-gravity sports). Other companies are working on similar projects. And what language will people speak in space? Well, it probably won’t matter because there is likely to be a tiny computer that fits in your ear and translates what you hear into your own language/Ray KurzweilScientist, inventor, author and entrepreneur (企业家)Our brains will merge with machinesMany of Ray Kurzweil’s predictions about the future have come true. For example, in the early 1990s he predicted the growth of the Internet. Now Kurzweil believes that robots and humans will one day merge."The future will be far more surprising than most people realise. By the end of the 2030s, robots will be more intelligent than humans. Before that time, humans and machines will start to merge. We have 100 trillion very slow connections in our brain. Tiny robots (nanobots) will be implanted in our brains to improve our memory and our thinking skills. These nanobots will allow our brains to talk directly to computers, and they will also allow our brains to communicate wirelessly with other brains. Billions of nanobots will also travel through our bodies. They will keep us healthy. As a result, we will be able to live forever.'60.According to Dr Michio Kaku, what will no longer be a barrier for people working in space?A.Time.B. Internet.C. Language.D. Gravity.61.According to Ray Kurzweil, what will nanobots do?A.They will help save some of our memories.B.They will help some parts in our brain work better.C.They will help us develop a logic way of thinking.D.They will help detect what disease we are down with.62.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.The future will surprise usB.The development of scienceC.Scientists worried about technologyD.Famous quotes about computers and the Internet(C)Digital assistants with anthropomorphic(拟人的)features, such as Siri, are increasingly common on phones and computers. Developing an emotional relationship with a piece of software can. However, cut both ways. As a study published in Psychological Science by Park Daeun, of Chungbuk National University in South Korea, and her colleagues, shows, one emotion sometimes involved in machine-human interaction is embarrassment.Dr Park and her team recruited 187 participants into their study. To start with each was presented with a series of statements on the changeability of intelligence. These included, “you have a certain amount of intelligence, and you can’t really do much to change it”，and “you can always substantially change how intelligent you are’, . Participants rated their responses to thesestatements on a six-point scale，on which one meant “strongly disagree，’ and six meant “strongly agree'\ The reason for this initial test was that Dr Park knew from previous work that those who believe intelligence to be changeable are comfortable asking for assistance while those who believe it to be fixed often feel ashamed to do so.The initial test done, the researchers presented their volunteers with a second, which involved looking at 16 sets of three words and trying to think of a fourth word that linked them. Sometimes the first three words were accompanied by an unrequested hint. Sometimes they were not.Hints appeared as the written form of the word in question, accompanied by a computer-shaped icon (图标). For half of participants this icon had a humanlike face, and the hint was placed inside a speech bubble originating from that face. For the other half the icon lacked a face and there was no speech bubble. After the final set of words had been displayed, participants were asked to agree or disagree with follow-up statements about their experience, such as 4tit was embarrassing to receive help during the task”, and “others might think I am incompetent(无能的) because I received help during the task”. This time, they quantified their feelings on a seven-point scale, with higher scores representing greater feelings of unease.The researchers found that participants who believed intelligence to be unchangeable felt more embarrassed and more incompetent after the tests. Specifically, those who tended to believe that intelligence is unchangeable were more likely to feel ashamed and embarrassed if the computer icons they had seen giving the hints had had faces and speech bubbles. In contrast, people who strongly believed that intelligence could be changed over time felt the same level of discomfort whether or not the icons had been anthropomorphized.A second experiment, in which a different set of participants were allowed to ask for help rather than having it offered to them at random had similar results. Dr Park therefore concludes that some people do, indeed, seem to wish to avoid losing face by seeking help from an icon that has, well, a face.63.Dr Park and her team’s initial test was intended to__________.A.find out the participants1 opinion of whether intelligence is fixedB.prove the findings of previous work that intelligence changes with ageC.choose from the participants those who are intelligent enough for the testD.highlight those who tend to feel ashamed to reveal how intelligent they are64.Which of the following is TRUE of Dr Park and her team’s second test?A.The participants were asked to sort out the different one among the given words.B.The participants were tested on how they felt about getting help in this way.C.The hints would appear as long as the participants hesitated for some time.D.The hints were given to help the participants how competent they were.65.The first experiment and the second experiment are different in.A.whether participants held the similar beliefs about intelligenceB.whether participants could decide if they need any helpC.whether the help was offered regularly or at randomD.whether the icons are computer-shaped or not66.What can be concluded from the passage?A.More should be done to make digital assistants more human-like.B.People’s idea of intelligence needs to be updated at the moment.C.Embarrassment is among most common emotions people have.D.Digital assistants are sometimes too human to appeal to users.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Quantitative EatingAre you keen on QE (quantitative eating)? Do you have a high marginal propensity(边际倾向）to consume chocolate? Then you might be angered by the diet book, The Economists’ Diet:The Surprising Formula for Losing Weight and Keeping It Off^ from two self-described “formerly fat economists” on how to lose weight.__________A diet is described as a “self-imposed eating-austerity (艰苦朴素）programme”. There is some discussion of people’s general failure to give enough weight to the long-term consequences of their actions. And there is some neat use of the concept of diminishing returns (收益递减).Eat a wide variety of foods and you may always get pleasure from trying something different. But limit your diet and you will soon tire of eating more. 68 The authors think this is more important than exercise since the latter tends to make you hungry; it is easy to undo all the good work of a cycle ride with a snack.Eating less requires you to limit yourself to one square meal (defined as some meat and two side portions of vegetables) a day. The other meals should be very light; a non-creamy soup, a salad or a bowl of non-sugary cereal. If you do end up having a big meal or a treat, then the other meals should be skipped altogether.But the authors are not too prescriptive(规定的) The aim is to find a diet that works for each individual.___________. Only then can you see whether the diet is working.The book is full of perfectly sensible advice, such as avoiding unusual diets, the appeal of “low-fat” foods and the temptation to drink all your calories in the form of fancy drinks, alcohol and sugary coffees. 70 But, as experienced economists, the authors may have realised that, when it comes to diet plans, demand is almost infinite.IV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.The dangers of safetyTravelling by road is widely accepted as being the most dangerous way to travel with far more deaths per kilometer than rail, sea or air. In fact, while road traffic injuries represent about 25% of worldwide injury-related deaths, deaths on the road in the UK have been decreasing for some time. We take a look at why the number is decreasing, but why it seems impossible to avoid deaths completely.Over the years, different methods of reducing the number of crashes have been tried. The Locomotive and Highways Act of 1865 introduced the idea of speed limits to the motoring world. Since then, more and more ways of controlling the behaviour of drivers have been introduced, such as one-way streets and traffic signals, as well as compulsory driver testing and licensing. These days, there are many more methods of enforcement, including speed cameras and fines for breaking motor laws.Another solution is to make cars themselves safer in case of an accident. This means the main focus has been on passive safety or crash survival rather than active safety or avoiding crashes. There are many innovations by motor manufacturers, which have made cars safer, such as seat belts, anti-lock brakes and airbags. These improvements have tended to make the driver feel more in control and isolated him/her from the fast-moving and dangerous environment outside the car. It seems strange that as improvements have been made the number of crashes continues to increase.Actually, it is wrong to talk about safe and dangerous cars in this way. The key to this problem is not actually the car, but the driver. In fact, making drivers feel safer is not the solution to the problem, but it is the cause of the problem. As drivers feel safer, it encourages them to drive aggressively and to ignore other road users and therefore increases the number of crashes.V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.请调整一下这张桌子，以适应这个孩子的身高。

AThree men have had a big influence on modern sound and communication technologies. We started with the beginnings of computer-generated music.Max Vernon MathewsMax Vernon Mathews has been called the father of computer music.He created electronic tools so that people could use computers, as musical instruments.He had a huge influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written, recorded and played.In 1957, Max wrote the first: computer program, Music,to enable a computer to create sound and play it back. The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music. in seventeen seconds.For that reason,Mathews moved the work to a tape player, which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed.Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program.He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios.The Groove program he developed was the first computer program made for live performances.Norio OhgaSony Corporation official Norio Ohga helped to develop, the compact disc in the late 1970s.He pushed for CDs to be larger, and with a longer playing time.He wanted them to hold seventy-five minutes so that they could store all of Bcethoven's Ninth Symphony on one disc.This way, listeners could enjoy the musical work without any break.The compact disc changed the electronics industry and the way people listened to music.Hubert Joseph SchlaflyHubert Joseph Schlafly was an electrical engineer who helped change the way actors, politicians and other people speak on television.In 1950, he and two other men developed the teleprompter.One co-worker, Fred Barton, was an actor.He had an idea for a tool that would help television actors read their lines without having to memorize them.The first teleprompter involved1。

AThe National GalleryDescription；The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London. It houses a diverse collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh. The older collections of the gallery are reached through the main entrance while the more modern works in the East Wing are most easily reached from Trafalgar Square by a ground floor entrance.Layout:The modern Sainsbury Wing on the western side of the building houses 13th- to 15th-century paintings, and artists including Duccio, Uccello, V an Eyck, Lippi, Mantegna, Botticelli and Memling.The main West Wing houses 16th-century paintings and artists including Leonardo da Vinci, Cranach, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bruegel, Bronzino, Titian and Veronese.The North Wing houses 17th-century paintings and artists including Caravaggio, Rubens, Poussin, Van Dyck, Velazquez, Claude and Vermeer.The East Wing houses 18th- to early 20th-century paintings, and artists including Canaletto, Goya, Turner, Constable, Renoir and Van Gogh.Opening Hours:The Gallery is open every day from 10 am to 6 pm (Fridays 10 am to 9 pm) and is free, but charges apply to some special exhibitions.Getting There；Nearest underground stations: Charing Cross (2-minute walk).

The Bermuda native is in the midst of a trip that will take him to every state in the nation, mowing lawns (修剪草坪).Five years ago, Smith came across a senior man mowing his lawn and stopped to help, "When I came across the elderly man, my life changed,” he said. After that, Smith went on to create the Raising Men Lawn Care Service (RMLCS) to mow lawns for the elderly, disabled, single moms and former soldiers free of charge. As part of providing free yard work, the organization teaches children about serving their communities and lawn mower safety.A key component of RMLCS is its 50-yard challenge, which sets a goal for children nationwide to mow 50 lawns for free in their community. When a kid signs up for the challenge, the group sends he / she a white shirt with the Raising Men logo (标识),shades and ear protection. The participants receive a different colored shirt after every 10th lawn they mow. When they have completed the task for 50 yards , they receive a special visit from Smith or someone with RMLCS. They give the volunteer a new lawnmower, free of charge, and cut other lawns with them.Since this challenge started in 2016, 12 kids have already completed the challenge. And both boys and girls are part of it. At present they have 130 kids nationwide taking part in this challenge, including 7 in Bermuda and the UK and one in Canada. So it's spreading worldwide. Even the Queen of England took notice—the governor of Bermuda presented Smith with an award late last year on behalf of her.It was also last year that Smith came up with the 50 States 50 Lawns campaign Now he's on the road again24. What is the purpose of the Raising Men Lawn Care Service?A. To educate children to work hard.B. To offer free lawn cutting service.C. To make lawnmowers of high quality.D. To train professional lawn mowing workers.25. What will a child be rewarded if he or she completes the 50-yard challenge?A. A visit to RMLCS.B. The Raising Men logo.C. A white shirt and ear protection.D. A new lawnmower from RMLCS.26. Why is the Queen of England mentioned?A. To praise the Queen for her care.B. To prove Smith is respected by everyone.C. To show Smith's behavior got recognized.D. To introduce where Smith's motivation came from.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. Mow lawn in order to travelB. Lawn mowing—a new trendC. Choose mowing lawns to helpD. Smith—a man loving mowing lawnsCWhen your guests step into your home, should you, or shouldn't you, ask them to remove their shoes? Are shoe bacteria something we should really be worried about in our homes?The average shoe harbors （窝藏）hundreds of thousands of bacteria per square inch. The bottoms of our shoes are essentially a meet-and-greet for these bacteria, and with each step we take, we pick up newones. Wherever you go, you're going to be picking up them. But exactly what types of bacterial communities are hanging out on our shoes, and do they present a health threat? Almost all shoes were coated with all kinds of bacteria. While many types are harmless to humans, some can cause severe diseases, such as skin infections, and infections of the blood and the heart.But despite the horrifying picture, there isn't anything too serious to worry about. While many of us might want to take a house-cleaning step at the thought of shoes, the reality is that the load of bacteria our shoes bring indoors isn't typically high enough to make the average healthy person very sick. For a healthy individual, bacteria on shoes likely have no risk.Another point is that most of us don't spend a lot of time on the ground, where shoe bacteria stay. The exposure makes the poison. So if you're not exposed to it, you're not going to get sick from it. In some cases, layers of bacteria coating the floor can enter the air we breathe, lifted by the wind from a window. That might increase infection risk. But the greatest threat really lies on the ground. We should be more worried about a child crawling （爬）around on the floor. For a healthy adult, it's not too big of an issue.For the average household, shoe bacteria don't have an immediate risk. Healthy bacteria keep us healthy and protect us from other bacteria that can cause us illness. For most healthy persons, however, you can make the decision of taking your outdoor shoes off as much based on preference and habit.28. What can we infer about bacteria from paragraph 2?A. Most types of bacteria can cause us illness.B. It's impossible to keep our shoes clear of bacteria.C. The uppers of our shoes contain the most bacteria.D. Heart diseases are caused by bacteria from shoes.29. What does the underlined word "high" in paragraph 3 mean?A. From above to bottom.B. Far above the ground.C. Containing a lot.D. Standing tall.30. It is advised for people to take their outdoor shoes off when .A. there are old people at homeB. there are small children at homeC. they spend a lot of time at homeD. they want to close the window of the house31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Why do people get sick when the shoes change?B. Why do some places harbor more bacteria?C. Should you take off your shoes indoors?D. Could humans live without bacteria?DSweden is in a bit of a dilemma now；the nation of more than 9. 8 million has run out of garbage. The land- fills have been tapped dry and the rubbish reserves emptied. Although this may seem like a positive—even enviable—situation for a country to be facing, Sweden has been forced to import garbage from neighboring countries.You see, Swedes are big on recycling. So big, in fact, that less than 1 percent of Swedish household waste ended up in a landfill last year or any year since 2011. An enviable efficiency.Good for them! However, the population's remarkably resistant recycling habits are also a bit of a problem given that the country relies on waste to heat and provide electricity to hundreds of thousands of homes through a longstanding waste — to — energy incineration （焚烧）program. So with citizens simply not producing enough burnable waste to power the incinerators, the country has been forced to look elsewhere for fuel.The solution has been to import waste from other countries, mainly Norway and England. It's kind of a great deal for the Swedes: Other countries pay Sweden to take their waste, and Sweden burns it for heat and electricity. And in the case of Norway, the ashes remaining from the incineration process are returned back to the country and landfilled.Ostlund, a senior advisor for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, suggested that Norway might not be the perfect partner for a waste import-export scheme, however. “I hope we will get the waste from Italy or from Romania because they landfill a lot,"she said. "They don't have any incineration plants or recycling plants, so they need to find a solution for their waste.”Norway willingness to share its waste was just the first chapter in this story；now the British are in on it as well. That's a perfect match.32. What is the problem facing Sweden?A. It has trouble recycling all the waste.B. It doesn't have enough waste to use.C. It has no place to be used as landfills.D. It has to build incinerators in other countries.33. How does the author sound when referring to the recycling of Sweden?A. Curious.B. Disappointed.C. Humorous.D. Admiring.34. What can we infer about Norway?A. It makes huge profits by exporting waste.B. It exchanges waste for electricity with Sweden.C. It fills the sea with imported ashes to get more land.D. It might not meet the demands of Sweden fully.35. What is mainly talked about in the text?A. Sweden is importing garbage.B. Sweden is making money by recycling.C. Sweden has set an example for other countries.D. Sweden takes advantage of other countries' weakness.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。

2020年高考英语仿真冲刺卷（五）第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AThree men have had a big influence on modern sound and communication technologies. We started with the beginnings of computer-generated music.Max Vernon MathewsMax Vernon Mathews has been called the father of computer music.He created electronic tools so that people could use computers, as musical instruments.He had a huge influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written, recorded and played.In 1957, Max wrote the first: computer program, Music,to enable a computer to create sound and play it back. The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music. in seventeen seconds.For that reason,Mathews moved the work to a tape player, which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed.Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program.He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios.The Groove program he developed was the first computer program made for live performances.Norio OhgaSony Corporation official Norio Ohga helped to develop, the compact disc in the late 1970s.He pushed for CDs to be larger, and with a longer playing time.He wanted them to hold seventy-five minutes so that they could store all of Bcethoven's Ninth Symphony on one disc.This way, listeners could enjoy the musical work without any break.The compact disc changed the electronics industry and the way people listened to music.Hubert Joseph SchlaflyHubert Joseph Schlafly was an electrical engineer who helped change the way actors, politicians and other people speak on television.In 1950, he and two other men developed the teleprompter.One co-worker, Fred Barton, was an actor.He had an idea for a tool that would help television actors read their lines without having to memorize them.The first teleprompter involveda person who turned a long plece of paper printed with tall letters, As the actor read the lines, another person would, move the paper ahead on the ter versions used television screens to show the words that were to be read.1. Why did Mathews give up using computers to create sound and play it back?A. Because he wanted to use computers as musical instruments.B. Becaus e he couldn’t create sound on computers.C. Because he wanted to enjoy musical work without any break.D. Because he wanted to find better ways to create sound with modern technologies.2. What's the meaning of the underlined word teleprompter?A. 投影仪B. 电子提词机C. 屏蔽仪D. 显示屏3. From the writing, we can learn that________.A. Mathews' first computer program could play the music at a normal speedB. the Groove program was the first computer program made for live performances by Hubert Joseph Schlafly.C. owing to Norio Ohga, people can enjoy all of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony on one disc.D. only Hubert Joscph Schlafly and Fred Barton worked together to develop the prompter.BOur tolerating ability is indeed way beyond our imagination.But not until the very critical moment will we realize our potential tolerating ability.There was a woman in the countryside who got married at the age of 18 and had to escape with her two daughters and a son wherever she could at the age of 26 due to the Japanese army’s invasion, Many people could not bear the suffering of being a fugitive (逃亡者)and wanted to commit suicide.Knowing that, she would come to those people and soothed them by saying, "Don' t do that silly thing.There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome.The Japanese armies are bound to be driven away one day!”Finally, she insisted until the day when all the Japanese armies were kicked out ofChina.However, her son died of disease without sufficient medicine and nutrition in those days of hardships.Her husband, after knowing the death of his son, lay in bed for two days without eatingand drinking anything.She teared to her husband and said, “We have a tough destiny, but however tough our lives will be, we should persist in our efforts.”After she gave birth to the second son, her husband died of edema (水肿), which almost, blew her away.But eventually, she recovered and embraced the three young children, saying, "My sweet hearts, don,: feel scared.You still have me, your dear mum!”It took her painstaking efforts to raise her children up and, the life of her family was getting better and better.Two daughters were married and so was her son finally.She said to everyone she met,"Look! What I said is ly right.There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome! My life is so happy now!”She lived until 86.Before she went to Heaven, she said to her children, You all should live to your best.There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome!”4. What does the underlined word"soothed"in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Criticized.B. Evaluated.C. Thrilled.D. Comforted.5. what caused the woman’s son’s death?A. Japanese invasion.B. Her husband's death.C. Lack of nutrition and medicine.D. a disease called edema.6. Which of the following best describes the woman?A. Persistent.B. MiserableC. Scared.D. Intolerant.7. The passage mainly wants to tell us that__________.A. the woman was leading a tough lifeB. the woman showed great love to her kidsC. hardships can be overcome with an iron will and strong tolerating abilityD. invading other countries would make people there suffer a lotCSome people think going to the gym takes time and effort, it often hurts, and it can be extremely boring.Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps(几次几组).In order to see any significant change from any one exercise,it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, for a minimum of three sets, for about three months: Then there' s aerobics(有氧运动).For some, there's nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill(跑步机).But what if there is a way to reduce the boredom of exercise while still getting a good workout? Luckily for us, there’s virtual reality (VR).“In the past, playing video games was a sedentary(久坐不动的) experience:,"says Jo Stauffer of the VR Heaitn-institute, but VR changes all of that.” Many, VR games are played while standing In order to play properly, the players are forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs.After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it's not surprising, that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter .There are already a number of virtual reality games which, deliberately or not, result in their player “getting a good sweat on” if played for enough time.For example, there's a music game which forces players to shadow box(做空拳攻防练习) in order to hit the notes---that's an upper-body workout.The benefit of VR has been noticed by one company.They want to take the whole experience into the gym. They are making a resistance machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual competitor in a series of games,which results in a30-minute full-body workout.However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out, says J.P.Gownder from the consultancy Forrester.Although it's early days, for those: of us who struggle to overcome the boredom of exercise,a new solution could be coming.And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want-virtual or not.So don' t give up exercising.8. What conclusion can we draw from the first paragraph?A. Most weight-related exercises nearly have no effect.B. Some people think exercising in the gym is difficult and tiring.C. Running on a treadmill wont bring significant change.D You'd better not go to the gym because of the risk of injury.9. Compared with video games, VR games____________.A. bring more fun to play.B. take people less free time.C. are more likely to bring players health benefits.D. are more popular with people nowadays .10. What can we know about the resistance machine?A. It has been widely used in the gym.B. There are some disadvantages of it.C. J.P. Gownder highly recommends it.D. When using it, people need to have a partner.11. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Virtual exercise in the gym.B. Keep going to the gymC. The boredom of exerciseD. The popularity of VR games.DThe problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.That’s becaus e there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is stilldone over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.12. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?A Panicked. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.13. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ________.A. aim at victims preciselyB. damage databases easilyC. start campaigns rapidlyD. spread information widely14. What does the passage imply?A. Honesty is the best policy.B. Technologies can be double-edged.C. There are more solutions than problems.D. Credibility holds the key to development.15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is RootedB. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of RobocallsC. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More DangerousD. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology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.

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.

第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力本次训练无听力第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AYou can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way. The popular saying has inspired many people to read or go sightseeing. Traveling just like reading, is a refreshing journey from the busy world. Books, brain food, can keep you company on your travel.On the Road, 1957, by Jack KerouacThe book is a globally popular spiritual guide book about youth. The main character in the book drives across the US continent with several young people and finally reaches Mexico. After the exhausting and exciting trip, the characters in the book begin to realize the meaning of life. The book can be a good partner with you to explore the United States.Life is Elsewhere, 1975, by Milan KunderaJean-Jacques Rousseau once said, “Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.” The book tells a young artist’s romantic but miserable life, about how he reads, dreams, and has a relationship. Experience the artist’s passionate life in the book during a trip to Central Europe. The book invit es you to deeply reflect on your current life.The Stories of Sahara, 1967, by SanmaoThe book narrates the author’s simple but adventurous life in the Sahara Desert, which seems a desolate and dull place. The fancy natural scenery and life there, along wi th the author’s romantic and intensive emotion, will inspire you to explore the mysterious land. Reading the book is like participating in a dialogue with the author, who is sincere and humorous.Lotus, 2006 by AnnbabyThis novel set in Tibet, tells three people’s stories, each with their unique characteristics. It reveals modern people’s emotions and inner life, their confusion about love, and exploration of Buddhism.The book is a good partner to bring you to the sacred land Tibet.21. Which book is about the exploration of life value through a journey?A. On the Road.B. Life is Elsewhere.C. The Stories of Sahara.D. Lotus.22. Whose book could be the most suitable for your trip to Germany?A. Jack Kerouac’s.B. Sanmao’s.C. Annbaby’s.D. Milan Kundera’s.23. What can we learn from the text?A. Lotus is a religious book exploring Tibetan Buddhist culture.B. On the road advises a classic route for driving across the US.C. The stories of Sahara records its authors’ own life in the desert.BWhen I was a boy, our extended immigrant family would sometimes gather at my aunt’s tiny house over the summer. Relatives from all over the country would come in to visit. The adults would crowd together in the living room to talk and catch up on each other’s lives. And the kids would be sent out into the front yard to play when dinner was slowly cooked for all of us.Those were the days before video games, smart phones, and motorized toys, so we often ended up playing an old game. I remember one of those moments especially. As I was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, I got caught first and couldn’t catch anyone else. My brothers and cousins were all too fast for me, and I grew more and more frustrated. I finally fell my face first into the dirt. I got up with tears forming in my eyes. Then I saw one of my female cousins Susan standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before. I easily caught up and seized her. Then she turned to me, smiled, and said, I’m it! You’d better run! Iran off laughing with glee while she turned and started to chase others.Now I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and returned me to joy. It didn’t matter that we hardly ever saw each other. I know we are family and she loves me.In her wonderful book Box of Butterflies, Roma Downey writes, “We are all one, we all belong to each other, and we are one big, beautiful family.” Perhaps it is time that we all started to treat each other that way. Perhaps it is time that we shared our love, our kindness, our laughter, and our joy with everyone without fear. Perhaps it is time to finally and forever bring this world together in one big family reunion.24. When the adults were chatting, the kids would __________.A. play video gamesB. sit in the front yardC. learn to cook dinnerD. play traditional games25. The author was able to catch Susan because ________.A. the others ran too fastB. the author was good at runningC. Susan gave her a chanceD. Susan wanted to chase others26. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author is grateful for what Susan did to her.B. The author can’t meet Susan any more.C. The author urges others to love their family.D. The author believes the world will become a big family.27. What could be the best title of the passage?A. A memory of my childhood.B. Sharing of goodness unites us.C. Kindness brightens our life.D. A good deed is invaluable.CPlease take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel good to say it out loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your go al and he acknowledges(认可) it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺) to this goal to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.28. What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Completion of the goal.B. Necessary hard work.C. People’s acknowledgement.D. A sense of satisfaction.29. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.30. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal?A. By giving figures.B. By giving examples.C. By making a survey.D. By making comparison tests.31. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?A. You will be more confident.B. You will not gain satisfaction.C. You are less likely to realize it.D. You’ll be much more motivated.DCompared with solar and wind energy, which are booming, tidal(潮汐的) power is a loser in the clean-energy competition. But if you did want to build a tidal power station, there are few better sites than the mouth of the River Severn, in Britain. Its tidal range, the difference in depth between high and low tides, of around 15 metres is among the largest in the world.Engineers and governments have been toying with the idea since at least 1925. But none of the suggested projects has materialised. Price is one objection. A study thought that tidal energy might cost between ￡216 and ￡368($306-521) per MWh of electricity by 2025, compared with ￡58-75 for seagoing wind turbines(轮机) and ￡55-76 for solar panels. Environmentalists also worry that any plant would change the tides, making life harder for wildlife.An engineer called Rod Rainey thinks he has a way around both problems. He plans to replace the conventional turbines of previous plans with a much older technology. Specifically, he plans to span(横跨) the river mouth with a line of water wheels. This is a design that dates back to the early days of the Industrial Revolution. Examples can be found fixed to the sides of old watermills(水磨).But there would be nothing old-fashioned about Mr Rainey’s wheels. Thirty metres high and sixty wide, they would be made from ordinary steel. Two hundred and fifty of them, along with the supporting structures, would be floated into place and secured to the seabed, creating a line 15km long. Together, theycould supply power at an average rate of 4GW. That is about as much as two biggish nuclear power stations would manage. Substituting one of the wheels with a set of locks would provide a shipping channel about twice the width of Panama Canal, permitting upstream ports such as Avonmouth and Cardiff to continue operating.32. What is special about the mouth of the River Seven?A. The tidal range there is about 15 meters.B. It has the largest tidal range in the world.C. The tidal power station has been built there.D. Its power plant makes life harder for wildlife.33. What was people’s initial attitude towards tidal power?A. Opposed.B. Supportive.C. Controversial.D. Doubtful.34. What are the locks used for?A. Support.B. Transportation.C. Securing wheels.D. Producing electricity.35. What’s the best tittle for the text?A. Rainey invented turbines.B. Rainey’s tidal power station.C. Tidal power in the River Seven.D. An old idea might be made practical.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。

AThe Gift of LifeMost couples demonstrate their love on February 14 with flowers or chocolates. But these four men and women have offered the ultimate loving gesture —the gift of life. Each sacrifice has enabled their loved ones to live full and active lives again after serious illness.I’D Do THE SAME FOR HERMichele Johnson, 53, has been married to Gay, 57, for 26 years.With her husband suffering from a congenital(先天性的) kidney condition, in 2013 Michele gave him one of hem. Gay said: “I needed to be hooked up to a dialysis(透析) machine. I had no quality of life at all. However, I felt great as soon as I woke up after the operation. I told her I’d do the same for her.”I LOVE BRENDA TO BITSBrenda Green, 62, met her husband Keith, 63, when she was 24 and they married five years later. When Brenda was told five years ago she needed a kidney transplant, she cried. I’ll give you mine.”Keith said without hesitation. “Brenda is my wife and I love her to bits.”MY WIFE’S MY HEROStephen Heavyside, 61, and wife Patricia, 62, have been married for 40 years. Stephen said: “I was diagnosed with adult polycystic kidney disease five years ago. Patricia took good care of me and donated a kidney. This has brought us even closer.”He said “Patricia’s gift changed my life. She is my hero.”DECISION WAS EASYAnna Stevens, 48, and husband Gary, 53, of Watford, Herts, have been wed for 23 years. Anna donated a kidney to her husband.She said of the transplant: “It was the easiest decision I’ve ever made.”Gary said. “There’s only two words that I can use to describe her: My angel.”21.

They had all been married more than 20 years.C. The patients suffered from congenital kidney disease.D. They demonstrate their love with flowers or chocolates.BDuring this shopping season, salesmen will come up with different strategies to get your business. Many product companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and compete for a sale. However, sight is not the only sensory(感官的) retail that companies use. Sounds and smells can also influenceconsumers’ purchasing decisions.Nobel Prize-winning research shows that our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response. A study published earlier this year compared purchasing in a French flower shop when the smell of lavender(薰衣草) was given off and when it wasn’t. It found that the smell increased the number of consumers’ purchasing items and the amount of their purchases. An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more, and were willing to pay more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers. Realizing the subconscious impact of smell, many stores apply artificial scents(气味) through their heating and air-conditioning vents(通风口) or place scent machines above their doors. For instance, a coconut scent might make that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation.Ever felt frenzied due to a store’s fast-paced music? Or calmed by a piece of light music? A retailer’s choice of music can have a big impact on consumers’ moods. One study found that when subjected to loud music, consumers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers’ satisfaction. Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music. Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments, many use different music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers.Well, you could always leave the sto re and take a break, but the food court probably isn’t your best choices as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customers’ experience. Online retailers(零售商) use a variety of other strategies to get your business, but you can always neglect those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.24. The passage is mainly about ________.A. consumers’ favorite sounds and smells while shoppingB. shopping malls’ strategies for satisfying consumersC. some special services from super shopping mallsD. two factors affecting consumers’ shopping decisions25. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Decorating stores with flowers becomes a fashion.B. Shops with special smells can attract more consumers.C. Smells can actually help businessmen gain more profits.D. The products with a kind of special smell are more popular.26. How does music have an effect on consumers?A. It controls consumers’ desire for shopping.B. It influences how long consumers stay in a shop.C. It gives consumers the satisfaction of enjoying shopping.D. Whether consumers are willing to buy things depends on it.27. What does the writer try to express in the last paragraph?A. Online shopping is becoming more and more popular nowadays.B. People should spend more time at home with family members.C. People can choose to get rid of salesmen’s promotion strategies.D. Smells and sounds are important for consumers’ shopping experience.CA new restaurant in Indonesia is on a mission(使命) to support locals trapped in poverty, many of whom are earning less than $25 a month, by providing them with an alternative way to pay for their food.The Methane Gas Canteen, run by husband and wife team Sarimin and Suyatmi, is located in an unexpected place for an eatery — Jatibarang Landfill. The landfill is a mountain of purifying waste, where poor locals spend their days collecting plastic and glass to sell. Meanwhile, the couple, who spent 40 years collecting waste before opening the restaurant, is busy cooking.What makes the restaurant unusual, aside from its location, is that no cash is required to pay for meals. Poor people have the option to pay for their food with recyclable waste instead of cash. Sarimin weighs the plastic customers bring in, calculates its worth, and then deduct that value from the cost of the meal, giving any extra value back to the customer. The scheme is part of the community’s solution to reduce waste in the landfill and recycle non-degradable plastics.“I think we recycle 1 tonne of plastic waste a day, wh ich is a lot. This way, the plastic waste doesn’t pile up, drift down the river and cause flooding,” said Saimin. “It benefits everyone.”The restaurant seats about 30 people and serves meals that cost between $0.40 and $0.80 each. Since opening the canteen Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen their daily income more than double to $15 a day.“I’m happy to see our customers enjoying their meals,” Sarimin told NHK World. “The poor must also have the right to enjoy healthy eating. I want to give them that chance asmuch as possible.”28. What do we know about Jatibarang Landfill?A. It is a good place for people to eat meals.B. It is a place where locals collect plastic and glass to sell.C. It is a mountain which attracts many tourists.D. It is a modem plastic recycling plant.29. What makes the Methane Gas Canteen different?A. Its location and the way to pay for meals.B. The delicious food and the kind-hearted owner.C. Its location and those strange customers.D. Its customers and the way to pay for meal.30. What does the underlined word mean?A. Increase.B. Replace.C. Remove.D. Equal.31. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Sarimin and Suyatmi recycle plastic waste only to make money.B. The plastic waste may cause flooding.C. The restaurant seats around 30 people at present.D. Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen an increase in their income.DGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such asCinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examinatio n, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.32. What‘s the main idea of Paragraph I?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B.
