Living with a local family is one of the fastest ways to immerse yourself in a new culture． Currently, more and more US families are becoming hosts, so we're giving you tips for finding your ideal homestay．1．LocationAs a rule, look for homestays that are close to campus, and research local transport links because their reliability can vary state by state．Also, make a list of your absolute homestay requirements to help refine your search．These can include nearby local amenities（便利设施） or having a home without pets．2．Ideal matchBeing honest with your host family is a must．Essentials such as Wi﹣Fi access and house rules should be agreed on in advance．For instance, if you want at least one meal aday, you'll want to ensure your host can meet your needs．Setting these agreements early on will help you maintain good relations with your hosts． 3．CustomsAdapting to local culture can be tough, so do your best to learn about local laws and etiquette before arriving．However, most hosts are open﹣minded, so don't be afraid to introduce elements of your own culture to help build a good rapport（融洽的关系）．4．Be outgoingIt's easy to feel overwhelmed as an overseas student, but do your best to engage with your host family when you can, and don't be afraid to speak up．Apart from general courtesy（礼貌）, it's a good way to learn local expressions and get the most out of your homestayexperience． Much like any relationship, you should find a balance between respecting your host and having your needs met．So remember, you can always contact your college or homestay provider for any problems you have．（1）According to the text，in order to find an ideal homestay， one can________．A study any transport link availableB require there be Wi﹣Fi accessC tell hosts about his own cultureD ask hosts to have his needs met．（2）What is the main purpose of the text？________A To help us solve problems about homestays．B To introduce tips on finding dream homestays．C To remind people to get along well with hosts．D To show the importance of understanding customs．18. Up to one fifth of the Amazon rainforest is emitting more CO2 than it absorbs, new research suggests．Results from a decade﹣long study of greenhouse gases over the Amazon basin appear to show around 20% of the total area has become a net source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere．One of the main causes is deforestation．While trees are growing they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; dead trees release it again．Millions of trees have been lost to logging and fires in recent years．The results of the study, which have not yet been published, have implications for the effort to combat climate change．They suggest that the Amazon rainforest﹣a vital carbon store, or "sink", that slows the pace of global warming﹣ray be turning into a carbon source faster than previously thought．Every two weeks for the past 10 years, a team of scientists led by Professor Lucinna Gatti．a researcher at Brazil's National Institute for Space Research（INPE）, has been measuring greenhouse gases by flying aircraft fitted with sensors over different parts of the Amazon basin．What the group found was startling: while most of the rainforest still retains its ability to absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide﹣especially in wetter years﹣one portion of the forest, which is especially heavily deforested, appears to have lost that capacity．Gatti's research suggests this south﹣eastern part of the forest, about 20% of the total area, has become a carbon source．"Each year is worse, " she told Neesnight．"We observed that this area in the south﹣east is an important source of carbon．And it doesn't matter whether it is a wet year or a dry year． 2017﹣18 was a wet year, but it didn't make any difference．"A forest can become a source of carbon rather than a store, or sink, when trees die and emit carbon into the atmosphere．Areas of deforestation also contribute to the Amazon's inability to absorb carbon．Carlos Nobre, who co﹣authored Prof Gatti's study, called the observation "very worrying" because "it could be showing the beginnings of a major tipping point"．He believes the new findings suggest that in the next 30 years, more than half of the Amazon could transform from rainforest into savanna．（1）What can be inferred from paragraph 2？________A One fifth of the total Amazon basin remains a forest．B Carbon dioxide are released by all the Amazon basin．C Growing trees both absorb and release carbon dioxide．D Fires are responsible for the loss of a lot of trees．．（2）Which of the following might Professor Luciana Gatti agree with？________A Deforestation has negative effects on the Amazon rainforest．B More carbon will be released in a wet year than in a dry year．C A better year is expected despite the present situation of the area．D There is no need for people to worry about the result of the finding．．（3）What might be talked about in the following paragraph？________A Other worrying phenomena about the Amazon．B More explanations for the "Amazon tipping point"．C Other people's opinions on effects ofdeforestation． D Comparison between old findings and new ones．19. This is the greatest mystery of our adult life: How can we spend all day typing at a computer and go home feeling exhausted? How could merely activating the small muscles of our fingers leave us worn out at the end of the day? What causes mental fatigue（疲劳）? "It is kind of a mystery, to be honest．" said Michael Inzlicht, a University of Toronto psychologist who studies self﹣control, motivation, and fatigue．But scientists do have some clues．There is a hypothesis for why we get so tired from work when we're not physically active．We get so tired because our motivation runs out．As we work on a task．we struggle to focus on it or eventually lose interest in it．We become less motivated to do the task．We become drawn to the things we want to do（scrolling social media or reading music blogs, for instance）, rather than the things we have to do．And this tension possibly causes fatigue．Researchers in the UK published new evidence that finds some indirect evidence for the motivational model．This study tracked 100 nurses in the UK over two 1﹣hour shifts．Throughout the shifts, the nurses reported how fatigued they felt at regular intervals．They also wore devices that monitored and tracked the amount of physical activity they were engaged in．When the researchers investigated what could possibly explain the fatigue, they found some interesting patterns．Here's the result: There was no connection between the amount of physical work the nurses did and their feelings of fatigue．Instead, they found this small connection: The nurses who were least likely to feel fatigued from their work also felt the most in control of their work, and the most rewarded or it．These feelings may have boosted their motivation, which may have boosted their perception of having energy．Inzlicht has also found evidence for the motivational model in his work．A few years ago, he and Carleton University psychologist Marina Milyavskaya monitored 159 students at McGill University in Canada for a week．"What was surprising to us was the biggest predictor of fatigue, not whether they had exerted self﹣control．" Inzlicht said．"Instead, the predictor was the number of temptations they felt．" "If you're typing at work, and if you're anything like me, you got a few browsers open．These lead to temptations, " he said．"Temptations make us less motivated o do our work, which, in turn, may make us tired．"And there may be an evolutionary reason for why our brains would do this．"As an organism, we need to meet multiple goals to survive．" Inzlicht explains．We're not solely focused on finding food or pursuing our passions in life．We need to do all these things to be a healthy, thriving species．"Because these multiple goals compete with one another（forour time）, we need a mechanism in place that signals．'Hey, stop doing that thing and do something else．'" That mechanism, he suggests, could be fatigue．In this light, boosting our motivation to stay on a task could lead us to feel less fatigued． One study found that just paying people some money when they're exhausted can keep them on task．A similar thing is found in studies on physical endurance: People can be easily pushed to work beyond what they think is their physical limit．（1）Why does the author ask so many questions in the first paragraph？________A To introduce a common phenomenon．B To raise some questions that are appealing．C To lead to the theme and attract attention．D To show the author's concern of the problem．．（2）Which one is the hypothesis for why we are often feel exhausted after one﹣day work？________A We are drawn to others things we have to do．B Lacking drive to finish a task leads to tiredness．C Smaller amount of physical activity makes us more tiered．D Better self﹣control can boost one's motivation to work．．（3）Which of the following may Inzlicht agree with？________A The person with strong self﹣control can get more reward from work．B The one who are less motivated will be exposed to more temptation．C While typing，we use little part of our muscle，which is more tiring．D Typing with some browsers open will sometimes makes us more tired．．（4）Which one can be used to improve an employee's motivation？________A Improving his salary．B Finding his passion．C Boosting hismotivation． D Pushing his physical limits．20. I stumbled on a wallet someone had lost in the street, Wanting to find the owner, I opened it, but it only contained 3 dollars and an old crumpled envelope．I opened the letter and saw a return address and dateline…1924．It had been written 60 years ago．It was a "Dear John" letter that told the recipient, whose name appeared to be Michael, that thewriter could not see him any more because her mother forbade it．Even so, she wrote that she would always love him．It was signed Hannah．I called information, maybe there was a phone listing for the address．The operator hesitantly told me there was a number, but the best she could do was call it and see if they wanted to be connected．I learned that Hannah was now living in a Nursing Home and was given the number．It seemed silly, wanting to contact someone over a letter written 60 years ago, but I felt________．I was told that Hannah was there and though it was fairly late I followed my instinct and went to see her．She was a sweet silver﹣haired lady with a warm smile and a twinkle in her eye．I told her about finding the wallet and showed her the letter．She took a deep breath and said．"Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever had with Michael．"She said softly, "I loved him very much．But I was only 16 at the time and my mother felt I was too young．If you should find him, tell him I still love him．" With tears in her eyes she told me she had never married because no one had matched up to him in her heart．I thanked her and left．As I was waiting by the elevator the nurse there asked．"Was Hannah able to help you? " I'd taken out the wallet as she was speaking and she said "Hey, wait a minute that's Michael Goldstein's wallet．I'd recognize it anywhere; he's always losing it．"My hands began to shake．"Who's Michael Goldstein? " I asked．"One of the residents on the 8th floor, That's his wallet for sure．" I dashed up to the 8th floor and the nurse on duty told me he was still in the day room．We went into the day room and as soon as Michael saw the wallet a smile of relief crossed his face．I confessed I'd read the letter in an attempt to find the owner of the wallet．The smile on his face disappeared．"But I think you'll be happy I did, " I said．I think I know where Hannah is．He grew pale．"Where is she? How is she? Please tell me．" he begged．"She's fine, " I said quietly．"I was so in love with that girl and when that letter came, my life came to a halt．I never married．I guess I've always loved her．"I asked him to come with me and took him down to the 3rd floor where Hannah was sitting alone, watching television．The floor nurse pointed to Michael．"Do you know thisman, Hannah? " She adjusted her glasses but didn't speak．Michael whispered．"Hannah．it's me, Michael．Do you remember me? "She gasped．"Michael, Michael, I don't believe it．It's you! My Michael．" They walked towards one another and embraced．The nurse and I left with tears streaming down our faces．About three weeks later I got a call from the nursing home．"Can you break away on Sunday to attend a wedding? Michael and Hannah are going to tie the knot!"It was a beautiful wedding with all the people at the nursing home joining in the celebration．I was the best man! The hospital gave them their own room and if you ever wanted to see a 76﹣year﹣old bride and a 79﹣year﹣old groom acting like two teenagers, you had to see this couple．A perfect ending for a love affair that had lasted nearly 60 years．（1）According to the first paragraph．what kind of letter is a "Dear John" letter？________ A A letter to inform a lover of something important． B A letter written by a girl to break up with her boyfriend． C A letter by a mother to end her daughter's relationship． D A letter by an old women to recall the lost romance．．（2）What does the author mean by saying "I felt impelled" in paragraph 3？________A He felt great sympathy for the old man and women．B He was interested to know the woman who wrote the letter．C He was forced and driven by his instinct to find Hannah．D He called the information to kill his boring time．．（3）What can we infer from paragraph 5？________A Hannah never came across any man who is as successful as Michael．B Hannah broke up with Michael because she didn't love him any more．C Hannah determined to break up with Michael because of her father．D Hannah loved Michael so much that she didn't get married with others．．（4）Which of the following sentences indicates the wallet is important for Michael？________A Hey，wait a minute that's Michael Goldstein's wallet．I'd recognize it anywhere；he's always losing it．B I was so in love with that girl and when that letter came，my life came to a halt．I never married．I guess I've always loved her．C As soon as Michael saw the wallet a smile of relief crossed his face．D Where is she？How is she？Pleasetell me．．（5）What is the author's tone when he discusses the love between Hannah and Michael？________A Positive．B Indifferent．C Doubt．D Negative．．（6）What would be the best title for the passage？________A A love storyB The lost walletC Love in the nursing homeD The best man．第四部分任务型阅读（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填人一个最恰当的单词．注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填1个单词．21. Most groups of plants and animals are richer in species and more plentiful near the equator．In the ocean，that holds true for cold﹣blooded predators．But warm﹣blooded predators are more diverse toward the poles and noticeably missing from several warm hot spots．Why？John Grady，an ecologist，and his team considered the possibility﹣warm﹣blooded animals need a lot to fuel their metabolism（新陈代谢）．Perhaps colder waters are just richer in small fish？But they found that at higher，colder places，there isn't actually much more food around．It's more that warm﹣blooded animals are eating a much bigger share of it than their cold﹣blooded competitors．The real explanation is simple．An animal's speed，swiftness，and intelligence depend on its metabolism，which in turn depends on its temperature．Since birds and mammals can keep heating their bodies in icy conditions，they remain fast and attentive．By contrast，the fish they hunt become slower and duller．At some tipping point of temperature，seals，dolphins，and penguins start outswimming their prey．They become more likely to come upon targets and outpace the cold﹣blooded predators of their own．In Grady's words，"Warm﹣blooded predators are favoured where preys are slow，stupid and cold．" That's why sharks and other predatory fish dominate near the equator，but colder waters are the kingdom of whales and seals．By keeping food to themselves in thepoles，these creatures can then specialize on specific types of prey，which makes them more likely to split into separate species．The killer whales of the North Pacific，for example，include mammal eating transients and fish﹣eating，year﹣round residents．But the world is changing It's likely that the surface of the oceans will warn by 2 to 3Cwithin this century．Grad y's team estimates that every time the ocean's surface wars by 1℃，populations of sea mammals will fall by 12%，and populations of seals and sea lions will fall by 21%．But "predictions are hard"．Donna Hauser from the University of Alaska Fairbanks notes．"Polar bears are losers of a warming world，but some populations are still doing well． Some groups of whales have changed the timing of their migrations；others are hunting in deeper，colder waters．These changes might make sea mammals more adaptable to changing climates．Maybe they just need to find the places where fish remain slow，stupid and cold．"第五部分书面表达（满分25分）22. 请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．If you're a kid in South Korea these days，you might have trouble playing the latest online game on your smartphone for as long as you want．That's because the South Korean government has started to take some control over what kids can access on their phones．The government of South Korea as developed an app called Smart Sheriff that lets parents know about the websites their kids visit or the apps they use．South Korea has required that kids 18 and under install this app，or another one like it，on their smartphones． The recent ruling has led to a debate in South Korea over kids right to privacy．Teens in South Korea have a high level of smartphone and online﹣game use．Constant access to the Web distracts students．Parents and educators are also worried that kids will access harmful content on the Internet．So the government has set out to protect kids fromthe dangers of the Web．When apps like Smart Sheriff are installed on a phone，the user is kept from visiting certain websites，and warnings get sent to parents when a kid types "problem words"．Smart Sheriff can disable apps，and it keeps a record of how much time teens spend on the phone．If the app is not installed，the phone simply won't work．Supporters of Smart Sheriff believe that this will protect kids from dangers on the Web．Others disagree．Teens complain that the app encroaches on（侵犯）their right to privacy and freedom of expression．Some parents feel that they，as parents，should be the ones in control of their kids' smartphone use．They argue that children should be taught how to safely use the Web instead．【写作内容】1．用约30个单词概述上文韩国在孩子手机上安装 App监管孩子上网情况的看法；2．用约120个单词发表你的观点，并用2～3个理由或论据支撑你的看法．【写作要求】1．写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3．不必写标题．内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当．2020年江苏省某校高考英语五模试卷答案1.

Children under 18 are required to install an app on their smartphones to protect them against various dangers of the Web． It is claimed to be useful but some parents disagree．（概述）In my personal opinion， children are extremely vulnerable to harmful online contents，thus their usage of smartphones should be controlled to some extent． The app mentioned in the text can be helpful in some situations， for example， if the parents cannot accompany their children for a long time．【高分句型一】 However， installing these apps may also risk infringing upon kids' right to privacy， especially those who are above 16． Therefore I think the app can be used as a protective method， but only upon mutual agreements between parents and their children． Parents should also try to teach their kids web safety， as it is a great chance to ensure that kids can tell right from wrong in the future．【高分句型二】（你的观点和理由）In conclusion， I believe the apps have both advantages and disadvantages， therefore。

I am the proud owner of three pet dogs．Over the years, I have watched their behaviours carefully that help me when I travel around the world．One important lesson that my dog, Cody, taught me is how to deal with little problems in life．From his calm behavior when someone knocked unexpectedly at the door to the indifferent way he has dealt with his recent serious illness, he has always had the same easy ﹣going attitude．This attitude is an important lesson to me in how I can face difficult situations when travelling．I've learned to try to handle bad situations calmly, such as when we miss a train, lose luggage, and so on．Another dog of mine, Preston, loves to walk around the yard, spending hours smelling every place and finding out what it means to him．Taking it slowly is another lesson that's been very hard for me to learn．As an active traveller, I am actually experiencing less by speeding through everything, rather than slowly getting to know a place．Even if it means that you won't see as many things, going slowly when you travel is the only way to really get to know a new place．Rushing around a foreign city isn't fun at all．My dog, Moya, came from a truly bad situation．I am not sure what happened to her before; I just know it wasn't good．And while she has become more relaxed over the years, she is still slightly ________．She is very cautious when faced with any new situation．But once she's accustomed to her new surroundings, she is fine．She doesn't let fear influecnce her experience．The same can be applied to our travel experience． No matter where we go, we need to manage new situations with caution﹣while at the same time not letting that caution turn into fear．Many thanks to my pets．Truly speaking, pets are as basic to American culture as hot dogs or apple pies．To Americans, pets are not just property, but a part of the family．After all, pets are people, too, with the help of whom I am able to gain a lot and live differently．（1）One of the three dogs， Cody，________．A once suffered from a serious illnessB is excited when under pressureC enjoyswalking around the yard D is unable to deal with new situations．（2）From Preston， the author learned that one should________．A pay attention to the details in lifeB try to see as many things as possible when travellingC stay in different to strangersD travel around slowly and have fun．（3）The underlined phrase "on edge" in the fourth paragraph probably means"________"．A hungryB nervousC calmD angry．（4）Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？________A B C D ．3. A black hole is created when a large star burns out．Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces（熔炉） that burn their own matter as fuel．When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die．The death of a star is not a quiet event．First there is a huge explosion．As its outer layeris blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns．After the explosion gravity pulls in what's left of the star．As the outside of the star sinks toward the center , the star gets smaller and smaller．The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together．A star is so dense that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds．The more the star shrinks, the stronger the gravity inside it becomes．Soon the star isvery tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong．In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can flee．The star becomes black when there is no light．Then a black hole is born!That's what we know about black holes．What we don't know is this: What happensinside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine．But if the black hole doesn't keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world．They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe．In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a "white hole" in a different universe．As the black hole swallows light, the white hole shines brightly﹣somewhere else．But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time﹣many years in the past or future．Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no．Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed．So far the time being, black holes must remain a mystery． Black holes are a mystery一but that hasn't stopped scientists from dreaming about them．One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes．They would supply all of Earth's energy needs, with plenty to spare．Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste﹣a sortof huge waste disposal（处理） in the sky!（1）When the star begins to die，________．A there is no fuel left in itB its outer layer goes into space firstC it will explode and then become smallerD it doesn't give of flight any longer．（2）Which of the following doesn't help produce a black hole？________A The star becomes very tiny and dense．B The light can't go out of thestar． C The gravity inside the star is very strong． D The dying star shines very brightly．．（3）What can we know from the passage？________A A star will blast and die when it lacks fuel to support its burning．B A black hole can swallow everything because it becomes smaller all the time．C Man can never travel through a black hole but can make use of its power．D Scientists have found that a black hole goes into another universe and becomes a white hole．．（4）What's the best title for this passage？________A A New Scientific Discovery：Black HolesB How Do Black Holes Come intoBeing？ C What Are Black Holes？ D Travel Through A Black Hole．4. If you could change your child's DNA in the future to protect them againstdiseases, would you? It could be possible because of technology known as CRISPR﹣Cas, or just CRISPR．CRISPR involves a piece of RNA, a chemical messenger, designed to work on one part of DNA; it also uses an enzyme（酶） that can take unwanted genes out and put new onesin, according to The Economist．There are other ways of editing DNA, but CRISPR will do it very simply, quickly, and exactly．The uses of CRISPR could mean that cures are developed for everything from Alzheimer'sto cancer to HIV．By allowing doctors to put just the right cancer﹣killing genes into a patient's immune system, the technology could help greatly．In April scientists in China said they had tried using CRISPR to edit the genomes （基因组）of human embryos．Though the embryos would never turn into humans, this was the first time anyone had ever tried to edit DNA from human beings．With this in mind, the US' National Academy of Sciences plans to discuss questions about CRISPR's ethics（伦理问题）．For example, CRISPR doesn't work properly yet．As well as cutting the DNA it is looking for, it often cuts other DNA, too．In addition, we currently seem to have too little understanding of what DNA gives people what qualities．There are also moral questions around "playing God"．Of course, medicine already stops natural things from happening﹣for example, it saves people from infections．The opportunities to treat diseases make it hard to say we shouldn't keep going．A harder question is whether it is ever right to edit human germ﹣line（种系） cells and make changes that are passed on to children．This is banned in 40 countries and restrictedin many others．However, CRISP R means that if genes can be edited out, they can also be edited back in．It may be up to us as a society to decide when and where editing the genome is wrong．Also, according to The Economist, gene editing may mean that parents make choices thatare not obviously in the best interests of their children: "Deaf parents may prefer their children to be deaf too; parents might want to make their children more intelligent at all costs．"In the end, more research is still needed to see what we can and can't do with CRISPR．"It's still a huge mystery how we work, " Craig Mello, a UMass Medical School biologist and Nobel Prize winner, told The Boston Globe, "We're just trying to figure out this amazingly complicated thing we call life．"（1）What is the passage mainly about？________A What we can and can't do with CRISPR．B How CRISPR was developed by scientists．C The advantages of CRISPR and arguments about itsethics． D Scientists' experiments of using CRISPR to edit human embryos．．（2）According to the passage， the technology of CRISPR________．A is very safe because it only cuts the DNA it is looking forB is banned in most countries and restricted in many othersC could cause parents to make unwise choices for their childrenD could help us discover the link between DNA and the qualities it gives people．（3）It can be inferred from the passage that________．A all diseases could probably be cured through the uses of CRISPRB scientists had never edited genomes before CRISPR was inventedC CRISPR is a technology that uses an enzyme to work on RNA and DNAD CRISPR has proven to be the most effective way to protect children against diseases．（4）What is the author's attitude towards CRISPR？________A Supportive．B Worried．C Negative．D Objective．第二节（共1小题；每小题10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．选项中有两项为多余选项．5.How to Remember What You ReadReading is important， but the next important step is making sure that you remember what you've read!（1）_______You may have just read the text， but the ideas，concepts and images may fly right out of your head．Here are a few tips for remembering what you read．Are you confused？If the plot， characters， or word usage is confusing for you，you likely won't be able to remember what you read．（2）_______If you don't understand what you're reading，how would you remember it？There are a few things you can do﹣use a dictionary；look up the difficult words；consult a teacher…Are you connected？Does a character remind you of a friend？Does the setting make you want to visit the place？Does the book inspire you and make you want to read more？With some books，you may feel a connection right away．（3）_______How willing are you to make the connectionshappen？Read it； hear it； be it!Read the lines．Then， speak them out loud．And， put some character into the words．When he was writing his novels， Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters．He'd make faces in the mirror and change his voice for each character．（4）_______（5）_______How often do you read？If you read frequently， you'll likely have an easier time with remembering what you're reading and what you've read．As you make reading a regular part of your life， you'll make more connections， stay more focused and understand the text better．You'll learn to enjoy literature﹣as you remember what you read!A．What's your motivation？B．Practice makes perfect．C．It's a bit like reading a foreign language．D．Marking helps you remember what you read．E．Memory is sometimes a tricky thing．F．But other books require a bit more work on your part．G．You can do the same thing when you are reading the text!第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）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．6.

Longjing tea，it has topped the list of the ten most famous teas in China with its color，taste and shape， is named after its production region﹣Longjing Village of West Lake．Thanks for Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty， the tea has earned a high reputation． The story went that Emperor Qianlong was visited the mountain during his Hangzhou travels， and he saw some ladies picking the tea at the foot of the mountain． He was very interested in their movements that he decided to have a go himself． While picked the tea， he received the news of his mother's illness， so he carelessly puts the leaves in his sleeve and left Hangzhou for Beijing． He visited his other immediately upon his arrival in Beijing． His mother smelt the fragrance of the tea leaves from his sleeves and wanted to have a taste． After drinking a cup of tea， she found herself completely refreshing， andshe even praised it as ∧cure for all illnesses． From now on， the tea was listed as thetribute tea（贡茶）．解析：1．it→ which．考查代词．本句主语是Longjing tea，谓语动词 is named after， it has topped the list of the ten most famous teas in China with its color， taste and shape作定语修饰名词Longjing tea，需要一个连接词，连接词在句子中作主语．所以用关系代词which．故将it改为which．2．for→ to．考查介词．句意：多亏了清朝乾隆皇帝，这茶赢得了很高的声誉．thanks to幸亏、由于，固定短语．故将for改为to．3．去掉was．考查语态．动词visit的宾语是the mountain，与其主语 Emperor Qianlong之间为主谓关系，应用主动语态，was visited是一般过去时的被动式，故去掉was．4．very→ so．考查副词．so…that…如此的…以至于…，固定搭配，引导结果状语从句．故将very改为so．5．picked→ picking．考查动词形式．While引导的时间状语从句中省略了主语和be动词，动词pick与对应主语he之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词．故将picked改为picking．6．puts→ put．考查时态．本文整体时态为过去式，讲述龙井茶盛名的由来，此处应与整体时态一致，故将puts改为put．7．sleeves→sleeve，考查名词的数，根据前面句子"so he carelessly puts the leaves in his sleeve and left Hangzhou for Beijing"，可知用单数名词sleeve，所以sleeves改为sleeve．8．refreshing→ refreshed．考查形容词．动词find后面接复合宾语，形容词refreshing意思是"使人精力充沛的"，表示事物本身所具有的性质或特征；此处表示宾语herself的感受，所以用形容词refreshed（感到神清气爽的、恢复精神的）．故将refreshing改为refreshed．9．cure前加a．考查冠词．cure"药、药物、疗法"，可数名词，此处表泛指，前面需加不定冠词a，故在cure前加a．10．now→ then．考查时间副词．now指现在，而故事发生在清朝乾隆年间，应该用then （那时）．故将now改为then．9. Dear editor，I am writing to you regarding/concerning some of the mistakes in your recent issue featuring the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival．（写信目的）This Festival， a grand holiday originating in China， falls on May 5th according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar， not the calendar used around the world． Traditionally， boats which are shaped and beautifully decorated like a dragon are raced on rivers inhonor/memory/praise of the ancient patriotic poet ﹣Qu Yuan．（高分句型一） Obviously，they are quite different from the rowing boats especially in terms of their design and purpose． Therefore， to corect the relevant mistakes may be necessary and constructive so that readers can acquire authentic infornation about the festival．（要求更正）However， I do appreciate your effort to introduce this festival to your readers， which will surely bridge the cultural gap between our two countries．（高分句型二）（赞赏对方介绍中国文化）Hope you could take my advice into consideration．Yours sincerely，Li Hua。

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届北京市第五中学高三英语模拟试卷及参考答案
2020届北京市第五中学高三英语模拟试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe Internet has revolutionized our lives to such an extent (程度) that for most people, the global network has become more than just a tool but rather an important aid in everyday life. More and more people go online as wireless networks have brought the Internet closer and closer: it’s on our mobile phones, in our cars and TV sets, in hospital surgery rooms and in fishing boats that battle the waves of the Atlantic.And this revolution has brought along with it a new way of shopping. Both big and small, e-business websites have flooded the Internet by the hundreds of thousands. Anything you can buy from a brick and mortar store (实体店) you can also buy online: from food and clothes to toys, no matter what you’re looking for, you’re bound to find the right online store with just a few clicks of the mouse. You can use the Internet to find new suppliers, post buying requests or search for products and services.This revolution has affected brick and mortar business owners greatly. And what was their reaction? They’ve opened online stores to go hand in hand with their conventional business.But do the big players have reasons to be afraid? Are we going to start seeing ghostly, deserted Walmarts (沃尔玛) across the country? Probably not in the near future but the day will come when most people will just stop shopping offline anymore. A trip to Walmart wastes time, burns gas.The recent advancements in mobile technology and the introduction of mobile phones with enhanced (提高的) web capabilities have even made some people order their groceries when they get out from work and have them delivered at their doorstep by the time they get home. And as “Time is money”, this practice is lifesaving for people whowork two jobs.Technology will continue to advance and e-business will follow closely in its footsteps. Everything will become easier and less time consuming, leaving us more time to enjoy the things that really matter in life: the ones we love, our friends and hobbies.1. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The popularity of mobile phones.B. The great influence of the Internet.C. The importance of the Internet.D. The function of the global network.2. In response to the threat of online business, the brick-and-mortar store owners________.A. have stopped their traditional businessB. have started their dislike of the InternetC. have established their own websiteD. have opened their online stores3. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A New Way of Shopping.B. The Internet Revolution.C. What is the Reaction to Online Shopping?D. Is Online Shopping the Future of E-business?BWhen I was a kid, my mom set aside some breakfast food for supper every nowand then. I remember one night after a long, hard day at work, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and a plate of extremely burnt biscuits on the table. I waited to see if my dad would get annoyed.All my dad did was to reach for the biscuits, smile at my mom and ask me how my day at school had been. I don't remember what I told him that night but I do remember watching him add butter and jelly on that ugly burnt biscuit and ate every bite of that thing. He never made a face nor uttered a word about it!When I rose from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for overcooking the biscuits and I will never forget what he said, “Honey, I love burnt biscuits every now and then."Later that night, I went to say good night to my daddy, and I wondered if he really liked his biscuits burnt. He wrapped me up in his arms and said gently, "Your mom put in a hard day at work today and she is really tired. Besides, a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!As I have grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. Learning to accept each other's faults and choosing to celebrate each other's differences contribute to a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. We could extend this philosophy to any relationship, such as a husband-wife, parent-child, or friendship. Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket. Keep it in your own. So, please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine.4. How did the author's dad react to the burnt biscuit?A. He set it aside for breakfast.B. He ate butter and jelly instead.C. He uttered his complaints loudly.D. He ate it up as if nothing happened.5. Which of the following words can best describe the author's dad?A. Caring.B. Determined.C. ProudD. Hardworking.6. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?A. Show understanding to imperfect things.B. Ask the children to respect their parents.C. Enjoy the over-cooked biscuits willingly.D. Make important decisions on your own.7. In which section of a magazine may this passage appear?A. History and culture.B. Family and relationship.C. Cuisine and health.D. Entertainment and sports.CIf you ever find yourself trapped in the wilderness without food, you'llhave to figure out how to feed yourself. Many plants in the wild areedible, but many are also poisonous. So it is necessary to learn how to determine whether the plants you find can be eaten safely.Avoid using this method without careful planning. Some plants can be deadly, and even if you follow these guidelines perfectly, there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill. Prepare yourself for wilderness outings by learning about the local plants, and carry a guidebook to help you identify plants. Even if you are unprepared and cannot find food you know to be safe, remember that, depending on your activity level, the human body can go for days without food, and you’re better off being hungry than being poisoned.Testing the plant in your mouth is dangerous, so go forward very slowly and carefully. First, hold a small portion of the prepared plant part against your lip for 3 minutes. Do not put the plant in your mouth. If you notice any burning, tingling (刺痛), or other reactions, discontinue testing. Second, place another small portion of the plant part on your tongue. Hold the plant on your tongue without chewing for 15 minutes. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Third, chew the plant and holdit in your mouth for 15 minutes. Chew the plant well, and do not swallow. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Fourth, swallow the small portion of the plant. Wait 8 hours. Do not eat or drink anything during this period except purified water. If you feel sick, immediately throw up what you eat and drink plenty of water. If activated charcoal (活性炭) is available, take that with the water.8. What’s the meaning of the underlined world “edible” in paragraph 1?A. Suitable for using as food.B. Widely spread.C. Existing in large quantities.D. Not widely known.9. What can we know from paragraph 2?A. Planning is unnecessary when using the method.B. Not all plants in the wild can serve as food generally.C. Suffering hunger can be more dangerous than testing plants.D. Following the method perfectly can ensure safety.10. Which is the correct order of testing plants in the mouth?① wait and see ② chew it in the mouth③ put it on the tongue④ put it against lips ⑤ swallow itA. ③④②①⑤B. ④③②①⑤C. ③④②⑤①D.④③②⑤①11. Where might the passage come from?A. A student’s diary.B. A science report.C. A guide book for camping.D. A doctor’ s notebook.DAvi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that ifsomeone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.12. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.13. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.14. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.15. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The opening ceremony for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was held at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo on July 23, 2021 after a year of waiting due to the pandemic. Let's take a look at the highlights which make this opening ceremony unique.No spectatorsThere are no spectators during the opening ceremony in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infections. About 950 people, including officials and journalists, will watch in the main stadium, organizers said. Fewer athletes are expected to attend the ceremony because many are not allowed to stay for the entire Games due to COVID-19 restrictions.Male and female flag-bearersThe International Olympic Committee has actively encouraged all delegations toselect two flag-bearers at the opening ceremony, including one woman, as women's participation in the Tokyo Games reaches 48.8 percent, making it the most gender-balanced Olympics in the history of the event.Oath (宣誓) session updatedOne of the most symbolic parts of the opening ceremony—the Olympic oath—has been significantly adapted in order to “highlight the importance of solidarity, inclusion, non-discrimination and equality”. The number of oath-takers is also extended from three to six—two athletes, two coaches and two judges.Simplified ceremonyIn the 30-second video showing the rehearsal of the opening ceremony released to the public, the performances are integrated with dances, scenery and other display elements used in Japanese traditional festival activities.In order to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic and manage the cost, the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee said that the performances of the ceremony will be greatly simplified, with more light and shadow technology used instead of real decorations at the scene.1.Why isn't there any spectator during the opening ceremony?A.To limit the number of people present.B.To highlight the spirit of the Olympic Games.C.To control the spread of an infectious disease.D.To make room for the athletes all over the world.2.Why is each delegation encouraged to select one woman as a flag-bearer in Tokyo Olympics?A.Women will be in a leading position in sports.B.Women athletes make up a larger percentage than ever.C.Women will play a more important part in society.D.More and more women will take part in the Olympic Games.3.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A.Oath-takers are made up of six athletes.B.Tokyo uses more real decorations to cut the cost.C.About 950 people watch the entire games in the Tokyo Games.D.The opening ceremony presents the traditional culture of Japan.BPhotographer Rebecca Douglas has always been fascinated by the night sky. Her love for stars has taken theU.K.resident on “star walking” trips toIcelandand into theArctic, where she steps out onto darkened trails to capture twinkling stars and glowing planets in her images.Hiking at night isn’t uncommon. Plenty of people hike after dark to get to campsites or watch the sunrise from a mountaintop. Star walking goes a step further by blending hiking with stargazing. Rather than heading to an observatory or setting up a telescope in your backyard,star walking takes you on a brief journey to look at the stars from different viewpoints.Whether you’re in the mountainside or by the lake with stars reflecting on the water, star walking is often much more dynamic than traditional stargazing.What’s more, star walking is good for you. There are plenty of studies that show the health benefits of being in nature. Spending at least two hours a week outdoors, particularly while engaging in what involves “effortless attention”, can decrease blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels.So how does an aspiring star walker get started? It doesn’t take much more than a sturdy pair of boots.While telescopes and binoculars obviously have their uses, people are encouraged to start with naked-eye stargazing. Using only the eyes allows one to get lost in the infinite expanse of space and lets the mind go.It is advised that one read up on the night sky before heading out. Free mobile apps, such as Star Walk 2, can help identify celestial bodies（天体）and are easy to use—simply point your phone at the sky to reveal a map. Websites like Sky & Telescope and NASA’s Space Place cover the basics, have in-depth explanations on stars, and offer advice on equipment. Space Place posts monthly skywatching updates, so you can plan outings around events such as meteor showers.In the United States, national parks are great options for inexperienced night hikers. Many offer guided outings that explain the importance of protecting night skies. Those with a good number of walks under their belt may want to try GlacierNational Park in Montana.If national parks and other dark-sky designated areas are out of range, check local astronomy clubs and observatories for guided sessions. Sites like the International Astronomical Union are useful for finding resources by area.At the end of the day, the best advice is to take it slow and enjoy the journey.“With all of the chaos（混乱）that’s happening around us, the one constant has been the night sky,” explains Douglas, who hasbeen exploring popular places nearby, long after the crowds have gone home for the day. “Walking is quite a mindful way of looking up and being reminded that, although everything feels so different, some things are still the same.”4. According to the passage, star walking refers to ________.A. going to an observatoryB. looking at stars in mountainsC. combining hiking and stargazingD. setting up a telescope in the backyard5. One of the reasons why people go on a star walking is that _______.A. it’s easier to identify celestial bodiesB. it is good for physical and mental healthC. they can enjoy the journey without crowdsD. they can raise awareness of protecting night skies6. According to the passage, a star walking beginner is advised to _______.A. prepare a pair of strong bootsB. start by observing with telescopesC. join an astronomy club or an observatoryD. find guided outings with the help of mobile apps7. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. excite people’s interest in star walkingB. recommend some places for star walkingC. explain the health benefits of star walkingD. introduce the preparations for star walkingCIt is essential that students have a category of school-related activities they can participate in. These activities can range from activities during normal school hours to after-school activities. No matter the time, these activities should be available to every student, and at Victory Pioneers International Schools (V.P.I.S) it is encouraged that every student participate in at least one activity, educational and recreational.One of the primary reasons school activities are important at V.P.I.S. is because it gives students the exercise they might not normally receive. Most popularly, these types of activities include major sports such as football, basketball, baseball, tennis, track and field and soccer but also might include gymnasium games and other games.Activities during V.P.I.S. also make a good impression on colleges if students are planning to pursue more education. Colleges look for students who do not just go to school and go home after school. These activities range from participating in clubs and sports to volunteering after school at a recreation center or having a part-time job. If a college sees you maintained good grades while participating in these activities, it will be impressed.V.P.I.S. activities also allow students to be creative. Gifted-and-talented activities allow gifted students to participate in what they otherwise would never have experienced in the classroom. They are a great way to allow students to be creative. Additionally, participating in clubs such as drama that appeal to students’ interest also allows them to expand their knowledge and be creative.Students also can have their interests expanded by participating in activities. These activities could consist of anything, such as joining the Future Business Leaders, the school’s debate team and the chess team, to name a few. By participating in these activities, a student might realize he is interested in something he never knew he was interested in before.8. What can we learn about activities at V.P.I.S.?A. Not every student has access to them.B. Students are required to take part in them after school.C. They give students exercise that might not be got in other schools.D. Educational activities are more popular with the students.9. What benefits can the students get from the activities?A. They can get extra grades when applying for colleges.B. They will become more gifted and talented .C. They may expand their knowledge in drama.D. They may better know their own interests.10. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?A. The Benefits of V.P.I.S. ActivitiesB. School-related Activities at V.P.I.S.C. Colleges Need Creative StudentsD. Activities Make You Creative11. Where is the passage probably from?A. A scientific magazine.B. A college application guideline.C. A club introduction.D. The website of V.P.I.S.DIt was the first day of spring here but it didn't feel like it. The COVID-19 epidemic (流行病) was sweeping the globe and everywhere there were feelings of fear and loneliness. “Social Distancing” had become the new norm. Here the schools had been closed, the restaurant dining rooms had been shut, and people had been told to work from home whenever they could. Even the sheltered workshop where my oldest son worked had been closed until further notice. People had made a run on the stores and large areas of the shelves were bare. On the news the numbers of the sick and dead continued to rise. It felt like there was a weight on the souls of everyone in the world.My family were staying at home as much as possible and as I looked out of my window I wondered how long this crisis would last. It was then, however, that I saw something that lifted that weight off of my soul, made me smile, and made my heart feel happy again. On the street below my house there was an old friend of mine from high school who was a teacher there. With him was my younger son's former aide from the high school as well. They were delivering the school lunches door to door to the hungry children who were stuck at home. Watching them made me think of something everyone's childhood television neighbor, Mr. Roger's once said: "In the bad times, always look for the helpers."I have no doubt that this crisis will pass as all the crisis before. But it is our choice on whether it brings out the best in us or the worst in us. Let it bring out the best in you. Use it to strengthen your faith. Use it to freeyourself from fear. Use it to grow kinder, more giving, and more loving. Become a helper to all those in need and you will be a happy person today and all the days to come.12. Why didn't the author like the first day of spring?A. He had to work at home instead of at office.B. There wasn't social distance between each other.C. There was an epidemic everywhere in the world.D. His own company had been closed for a long time.13. How did people feel in the face of the epidemic?A. Disappointed.B. TenseC. Confident.D. Cheerful.14. What made the author happy?A. Seeing someone delivering lunches from door to door.B. Talking with his old friend in the street.C. Watching a childhood television at home.D. Staying together with his family.15. What do Mr. Roger's words actually mean?A. It's not necessary for us to find helpers in bad times.B. In good times we needn't do much to help others.C. We should ask more people to help us in bad times.D. We are supposed to help each other in bad times.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

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_____. Such absenteeism by individuals does negatively affect their results, he says, more than an occasional _____39____ closure by the whole school. This good news for pupils wanting an authorised day off was ____40_____ by Prof Goodman: “Closures have no impact. Absences do.”III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. 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.

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.

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。

第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AWith over 2.4 million visitors every year, Cinque Terre is one of the most-visited regions in Italy. Cinque Terreis truly special. The five candy-colored fishing villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Comiglia, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare are built into cliffs over the clean and brightly-shining Ligurian Sea. Whether you’re visiting the region for a few days or a few weeks, these are the experiences you should add to your trip pleasure.★Take a scenic hike.It’s easy to visit each of the attractive villages on foot. The most popular hike is the coastal path Sentiero Azzuro.It links all five villages and offers extremely beautiful scenery of the sea, architecture and vineyards(葡萄园). It takes about six hours to go across, with short breaks, but most people are going to stop in the villages for food and swimming.★Eat seafood in a cone(锥形).Dessert lovers might think that Italian ice-cream is the best thing to be served in a cone but make room for seafood cones as well. Thanks to its coastal location, Cinque Terre is full of seafood restaurants.★Get on a boat.If the weather cooperates, take the time to get out on the water. The villages look very beautiful from a boat. The cheapest and easiest way is to jump on the public ferry from one of the villages to the next, but these boats are often crowded. It’s far more relaxing to take a private cruise, which departs from the docks in Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare.★Take the train.Cinque Terre’s train system is one of the most scenic in Europe. The high-speed train runs through each of thefive villages every 20 minutes or so. And the whole line is directly on the coast, offering lovely views of the Ligurian Sea and rocky cliffs.1. What is special about the five candy-colored fishing villages?A. Their special location.B. Their long history.C. Their delicious foods.D. Their friendly villagers.2. What is the favorite food for the hikers in the five villages?A. Italian noodles.B. Italian ice-cream.C. Italian wines.D. Seafood cones.3. What is the best way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food?A. Taking a private ferry to the villages.B. Walking with short breaks on the coast.C. Taking a scenic hike along the coastal path.D. Taking the train running through the villages.BIt can be a real struggle trying to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children’s books printed in the target language.At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, but then I realized thateveryone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarize our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot.As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter of your chosen children’s book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story. Additionally, a lot of children’s books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.4. Why was the author advised to read children’s books?A. She was weak in reading great works.B. She was slow to learn language.C. She liked children’s literature.D. She couldn’t remember any words.5. What can be got from children’s books according to the passage?A. V ocabulary and listening skills.B. Learning methods.C. Words and structures.D. Designing skills.6. What surprised the author while reading children’s books?A. Grasping the context from the pictures.B. Looking up the definitions of words from a dictionary.C. Getting familiar with the plots of the story.D. Understanding the words simply from the context.7. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Reading Children’s BooksB. The Way of Learning LanguagesC. The Method of Using DictionaryD. My Good Reading HabitsCWith self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots forthe final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in SnohomishCounty, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.To accelerate Scout’s development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likelyrequires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all times-if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reachconsumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.8.What are many companies developing autonomous robots for?A. Final tests.B. The so-called last mile.C. Robots’ safety.D. Delivery speed.9.What can we infer about Scout from paragraph 2?A. It looks like a cooler.B. It adjusts its speed accordingly.C. Its sensors play a key role.D. It will be widely used soon.10.What does the underlined phrase "prior to" in paragraph 4 mean?A. beforeB. afterC. in front ofD. due to11.From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A newspaper.D. A travel brochure.DWood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable(耐用的), easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent(透明的).Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the material may even beable to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin (木质素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物) and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips,the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semi-transparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturersimprove their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.12.

But the concept itself isn 't scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “ greenhouse gases ”g oes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth 's temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier 's ideas spreto be called “the greenhouse effect ”.Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “ might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings While Arrhenius ' findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to findstrong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long -term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect —still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more carefulof what he wished for.4.What does the underlined word “it ” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The climate change.B. The greenhouse effect.C. The atmosphere.D. The heat from the sun.5.When did the scientists first find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.D. 200 years ago.6.W hat 's the author 's attitude towards Arrhenius wish?A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Ambiguous.knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci 'ms ost seems tolook back at observers, following them with heryes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledgeA new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that degrees off to the observer's right —well outside of the range that people normally believe when theythink someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, looking at you.” This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person 凝视）in 's gaz a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect ” . absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as theangle of the person 's gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial -intelligence avatars （ 虚拟头像 ） when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa ” and realized she wasn 't looking at him. To make sure it wasn 't just him, the researchers asked 24 peop to view images of the “Mona Lisa ” on a computer screen.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn 't sure. It 's possibleh,e said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect ”jus t thought it was a cool name.8. What is generally believed about the woman in the painting“Mona Lisa ”?A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.9.

Explorations on climateIt 'cso mmon mous painting rns outwrong.C.D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A.To confirm Horstmann ' s belief.B.To create artificial -intelligence avatars.C.To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa ' s gaze.D.To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.11.What can we learn from the text?A.Horstmann thinks it ' s cool to coin the term “ Mona Lisa effect ”.B.The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C.Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers ' judgment.DSparrow is a fast -food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast - food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast -food chains wereunwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain 'osw ner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy 's restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers 'sp ending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast -food industry. The TVads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover （营业额） .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast -food chains in the regions where it operated.12.Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A.The number of its customers was declining.B.Its customers found the food unhealthy.C.It was in need of financial support.D.Most of its restaurants were closed.13.For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A. To build a good relationship with the public.B.To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C.To learn about customers ' spending power.D.To meet the challenge from Marcy 's restaurants.14.What do know about the TV ads of Sparrow?A. They changed people 's views on pop stars.B.They amused the public with original songs.C.They focused on the superiority of its products.D. They influenced the eating habits of the audience.15.What was Pearson ' s achievement as a CEO?A. He managed to pay off Sparrow ' s debts.B.He made Sparrow much more competitive.C.He helped Sparrow take over a company.D.He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

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.

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.

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。
2020年郑州第五中学高三英语模拟试卷及参考答案
2020年郑州第五中学高三英语模拟试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AExperts say that if food were a country, it would rank second behind theUSas one of the biggest greenhouse gas polluters. The reason is the rising demand for meat. Animal farming is responsible for 14.5 percent of global methane emissions. While cowsare the worst contributors, pigs, sheep, donkeys and other animals play a part as well.Animal agriculture also causes land to become damaged, water to be polluted and forests to get destroyed. With the world population forecast to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050, things are only looking worse for our already decreasing natural resources. While going vegetarian would help, meat consumption is too deep-rooted in most Western diets to allow for such a sharp, permanent change. That is why experts are advocating substituting some of the beef, chicken, or pork with ordinary insects!Insects, which grow into adults within a matter of months, if not weeks, are ready for consumption much faster than domestic animals. They also require much less room, use less water and food, and produce far less greenhouse gas than animals.Of the 1.1 million insect species worldwide, scientists have identified 1,700 as eatable. Among them are ants, grasshoppers, grubs, and earthworms. Just like animals, each insect has a different taste. Tree worms taste just like pork, and grubs are similar to smoked meat.While eating insects might be a new concept for Western people, over 2 billion people worldwide consume insects as a regular part of their diet. Besides being delicious, insects are high in protein, have very few calories, and are free of the saturated fat found in animal meat. Insects can be prepared in many ways. Creative cooks can use them to cook protein-rich soup, make baked treats, and even fry a few with vegetables. So eat insects--- both your body and Mother Earth will thank you for it!1. Which of the following animals contribute the most to global methane emissions?A. Sheep.B. Donkeys.C. Cows.D. Pigs.2. How is the third paragraph developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By providing examples.C. By listing data.D. By asking questions.3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Few people eat insects regularly.B. Ordinary insects are high in fat.C. Insects contain various vitamins.D. Saturated fat is harmful to health.BIt’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Scott Kelly said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer.Scott spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station (ISS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to describe and that the fluids(积水) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Scott said.He discussed life aboard including spending time with Russian astronauts. They came from different cultures. He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.Though life there was not easy, Scott never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussed experiences growing up, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination.“Never give up or lower your dreams. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard, you’ll find it really rewarding,” Scott said in the end.4. Scott mentioned his experience in the ISS mainly to show ________.A. he enjoyed making speechesB. he was a responsible astronautC. his life in space was challengingD. the daily life of an astronaut can be boring5. What may benefit Scott most when he lived with Russian astronauts?A. He won some awards through teamwork.B. He found the fun of living in the Space Station.C. He learned to develop close relationships with others.D. He picked up some knowledge of Russian culture.6. Which of the following can best describe Scott?A. Kind and thoughtful.B. Curious and humorous.C. Easygoing and sociable.D. Hardworking and determined.7. What does the author intend to tell us from Scott’s story?A. It’s importantto have a dreamB. Easy things are also worth doingC. A suitable career leads one to success.D. Difficult things are demanding but rewardingCRecently, I read about a promotion from a home builder in San Diego where consumers (消费者) could buy a 4,000 square foot house for $1.6 million and get a smaller home bythe developer valued at $400 thousand for free. This sounds like a fantastic deal, but I am alwayswary ofany promotion labeled (给……加标签) with“buy one get one free”, and here is why.Oftentimes, “buy one get one free” ends up being “buy two at the regularprice”. For example, I often see “buy one get one free” ads for orange juice at the supermarket, but the first box always costs over $5.00. At the same time, the juices not in the promotion are selling for $2.50 to $2.99 a box.Another problem with “buy one get one free” is that oftentimes you do not need the second item. I only consume one gallon of milk every two weeks. If I were talked into buying a second gallon in a “buy one get one free” promotion, then the second gallon would go bad before I have time to consume it. That creates waste instead of savings.In the case of theSan Diegodeveloper, so far they have received one offer on their expensive houses, but the buyer does not want the cheaper house for free. Instead, he wants the value of the smaller home taken away from his purchase price. I think this guy is quite wise because he saw right through the marketing of “buy one get one free”.Finally, it is up to you to see how much you need and how much you are willing to spend. Knowing the regular price of things also helps you in deciding whether a “buy one get one free” promotion is truly a great deal.8. What does the underlined part “wary of” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. annoyed atB. careful aboutC. familiar withD. puzzled about9. Why does the author mention milk in Paragraph 3?A. To show that there are many promotions of food.B.To suggest that people think twice before they shop.C. To prove that the second item isn’t always as good as the first one.D. To show that people often buy more than they need in the promotion.10. What does the house buyer want to do?A. Buy the smaller house only.B. Get the smaller house for free.C. Buy the larger house for $1.2 million.D. Buy both the larger and smaller houses for $2 million.11. How does the author organize the text?(P: Paragraph)A. B. C. D.DThe common use of Google Maps, a navigation(导航) app on smartphones, raises the age-old question we meet with any technology:What skills are we losing? But also, crucially: What capabilities are we gaining?People who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps usually experience lots of confusion with digital maps. For example, they may mess up the direction of north and south, and you can see only a small section at a time. But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Despite being a frequent traveler, I’m so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years. What seems unnecessary to some has been a significant expansion of my own capabilities.Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires a specific skill set. There is nothing natural about them. In many developed nations, street names and house numbers are meaningful, and instructions such as “go north for three blocks and then west” usually make sense. In Istanbul, in contrast, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals rarely use street names, and house numbers often aren’tsequentialeither because after buildings 1, 2 and 3 were built, someone squeezed in another house between 1 and 2, and now that’s 4. But then 5 will maybe get built after 3, and 6 will be between 2 and 3. Besides, the city is full of windingand ancient streets that meet with newer ones. Therefore, instructions as simple as “go north” would require a helicopter. I got lost all the time.But since I used Google Maps, I travel with a lot more confidence, and my world has opened up. And because I go to more places more confidently, I believe my native navigation skills have somewhat improved, too.That brings me back to my original question: while we often lose some skills after seeking convenience from technology, this new setup may also allow us to expand our capabilities and do something more confidently. Maybe when technology closes a door, we should also look for the doors it opens.12. How does the author feel about Google Maps?A Confusing. B. Unnecessary. C. Complicated. D. Helpful.13. Which contributes to the difficulty of finding ways in Istanbul?A. Strange street names.B. Ordinary paper maps.C. Complex road arrangements.D. Lack of road instructions.14. What does the underlined word “sequential” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. In a fixed order.B. In good condition.C. Of great importance.D. Of the same kind.15. What column of a newspaper may this passage belong to?A. Fashion.B. Opinion.C. Society.D. Geography.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

What she did not expect to see was an actual superhero at work.But that's exactly what she spotted when a man in a red and blue outfit using a chainsaw to cu t a tree that had fallen across her road caught her attention “ I thought, OMG! Spider-Man!” she said. “I was shocked. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”Hanbury called her family outside to see too, and her husband Alan was able to snap two pictures of the mysterious good Samaritan. " Spider-Man worked the tree, then swung off and jumped in his little black pickup with a friend and flew off " said Hanbury. “I do not know why he was dressed as Spider-Man, nor do I know the name or identity of the masked man.”Hanbury's own two daughters, Ciara, 22, and Skye, 21, are grown, and most of the neighborhood withdrew before the storm, so unfortunately, no children were around to witness the Spider-Man in action. However, Hanbury said he was a welcome surprise and provided a laugh that lifted the spirits of those who experienced the scary storm. "It was a silver lining after waiting a long week for the hurricane to arrive, she said. “People were terrified and exhausted.”Thankfully, the hurricane wasn't as bad as it was predicted for Hanbury's area. “We still have lots of people without power, and my neighbors’ generators ( 发电机) are running at the moment. But for the most part, we just have high numbers of trees and power lines down with much debris, but everyo ne is safe!” she saidNow that her photos are going viral(疯传), Hanbury hopes Spider-Man knows he is cheering the spirits of people in Bradenton and around the world. “To Spider-Man, I英语模拟 5 第2页共9页would like to say, ‘Thank you!’” she said. “I'm glad we have real-life heroes.”4.What was out of Hanbury's expectation?A.The hurricane hit her home town suddenlyB.Her neighbors were evaluating the losses.C.A real-life hero was doing disaster relief workD.Her husband spotted a Spider-Man outdoors5.According to the passage, we can learn thatA. many people managed to leave before the hurricaneB a Hanbury's neighbor was dressed as Spider-ManC. the hurricane caused serious damage to the areaD the superhero wanted to give the children a surprise6.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggest?A.Fortunately, the hurricane didn’t arrive a week later as predictedB.After a long week’s waiting people felt very tired and depressedC.People waited in line to welcome the Spider Man to help themD.The hero brought the victims of the hurricane positive energy7.Which can be the best title for the passage?A Hurricane Irma Sweeps Through BradentonB.Real-life Spider-Man Shows up to Help after hurricaneC.Spider-Man Is shot after Hurricane IrmaD Children Wish the Spider-Man to Give a Welcome SurpriseCTime and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum ( 钟摆）and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, “ When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we’ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as英语模拟 5 第3页共9页lasing a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine.When days become as identical as beads (小珠子）on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day-- to stop time, so to speak.Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems to be full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn’t have to be.8.What is the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 used to show?A.Psychological time is quite puzzling.B.Time should not be measured by a pendulum.C.Physical time is different from psychological timeD.Physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time9.Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?A.Our sense of time changes.B.We spend less time at the beachC.More time is structured and scheduledD.Time is structured with too many appointments.10.What does “ Novelty” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.excitementB. unfamiliarityC. imaginationD. amusement11.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To give various explanations about timeB.To describe how we experience time physicallyC.To show the differences of two kinds of timeD.To explain why time flies and how to slow it downDImagine looking at a view of mountaintops and wondering about the name of each peak. Suddenly, above each mountaintop, a name appears on the sky. The words are not written in smoke by skywriting planes. The words are actually not in the sky at all. They come from tiny computers in contact lenses(隐形眼镜)Computers have become smaller and smaller over the decades. The first computers filled houses. Transistors( 晶体管) and then chips allowed computers to become small enough to fit on a desktop, then a laptop, and finally a phone. When experimenting with英语模拟 5 第4页共9页further reductions in size, developers often have to deal with the limits of human eyesight, which control how small the computers can be and still present visible information.One new solution employs microprojectors ( 微投影机) to create a readable display for tiny computers. These machines project computer information onto any surface. Though an impressive breakthrough, there are potential problems. Such public displays can lead to privacy concerns; Most people do not want their information displayed on a wall for everyone to see. Besides, these projectors are extremely expensive, and their screens give users headaches.Babak Parviz, a researcher at the University of Washington, created another solution: inventing a screen visible only to a person wearing a contact lens. Parviz created a computer in a contact lens that uses the wearer's field of vision as the display. To create the display, Parviz took ordinary soft contact lenses with a wirelessly controlled system. At some point, Parviz says, it will be possible to connect the lens to a remote personal computer device such as cellphone or a laptop. By looking in a certain direction, the wearer sends the computer visual information about what he or she sees. The device then uses this information to point out the names of peaks.These contact lenses are inserted and removed in much the same way as ordinary contact lenses. In addition, the computers in the lenses won't block the wearer's sight at all. Although now the computers are not on lenses treating eyesight problems, Parviz hopes that someday the technology will progress to that level.12.What can the contact lenses in the text do?A.Treat eyesight problems of the wearers.B.Offer beautiful views of nature to users.C.Project information on wall surface remotely.D.Show information about what wearers can see.13.According to Paragraph 3, what can the microprojectors do?A. Put people's privacy at risk.B. Save computer information.C. Cause serious illnesses.D. Support users' needs.14.What does the underlined part "that level" refer to in the text?A. Further reducing computers' size.B. Creating the visual information.C. Treating eyesight problems.D. Blocking the wearer's sight.15.What might be the best title for the text?A. Tiny Computers, Amazing Sights.B. Smaller Lenses, Closer Views.C. Progress Towards Clearness.D. Road to the Small World.英语模拟 5 第5页共9页第二节：（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。
