海淀区2020届高三一模英语阅读C篇解析
海淀区2020届高三一模英语阅读C篇解析There is certainly evidence that actors experience a blending of their real self with their assumed characters. For instance, Benedict Cumberbatch said, "My mum says I'm much more im patient with her when I'm filming Sherlock.Mark Seton, a researcher at the University of Sydney, has even coin ed the term "post-dramatic stress disorder,, to describe the lasting effects experienced by actors who lose themselves in a role. “Actors may often prolong habit s of the character s they have embodied," he writes.A recent finding doesn't in volve acting, and it in dic ate s that mere ly spending some time thinking about another person seemed to rub off on the volunteers sense of self led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University. Across several studies, these researchers asked volunteers to first rate their own personalities, memories or physical at tribute s, and then to per form the same task from the per spect ive of another person. For in stance, they might score the emotio nality of vari ous personal memories, and then rate how a friend or relative would have experienced those same event s.有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有·有有有有有:“有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有·有有有有有有有“有有有有有有有”有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有:“有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有”有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有·有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有After taking the perspective of another, the volunteers score d themselves once again: the con sist ent finding was that their self-knowledge was now changed—their self-scores had shift ed to become more similar to those they'd given for someone else. For instance, if they had initial ly said the trait term "confident" was only moderate ly related to themselves and then rated the term as being strongly related to a friend's personal ity, when they came to re score themselves, they now tended to see themselves as more confident. Re mark ably, this morphing of the self with another was still apparent even if a 24-hour gap was left between taking someone else's perspective and re-rating oneself."By simply thinking about another person, we may adapt our self to take the shape of that person”.said Meyer and her col league s. That our sense of self should have this quality might be a little discouragi ng, especially for anyone who has struggle d to establish a firm sense ofidentity. Yet there is an optimistic message here, too. The challenge of improving ourselves一or at least seeing ourselves in a more positive light—might be a little easier than we thought. By roleplaying or acting out the kind of person we would like to become, or merely by thinkingabout and spending time with people who embody the kind of attribute s we would like to see in ourselves, we can find that our sense of self changes in desirable ways.“As each of us chooses who to befriend, who to model, and who to ignore write Meyerand her colleagues, “we must make these decisions aware of how they shape not only the fabricof our social networks, but even our sense of who we are."有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有:有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有——有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有“有有”有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有24有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有“有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有”有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有“有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有31.The first two paragraphs mainly .A.state that acting requir es skillsB.explain the stress that an actor facesC.show that a role leaves a mark on the actorD.stress the importance of devot ing oneself to a role解析：本题答案出处为：There is certainly evidence that actors experience a blending oftheir real self with their as sume d characters.32.What does the underlined phrase "rub off on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Influence.B.

2020届北京市海淀国际学校高三英语一模试题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AEver wonder why there are so many people polluting the earth? Ever say to yourself：Hey, I wish that I could do more to help the environment? Have you ever thought about trying to help the earth but never really did it? Well, here are some pretty easyand skillful ideas for that green - earth desire inside you.●Turn off your computer. By leaving it on all day you are creating more CO2than a regular passenger would, driving to and from work in one day.● Ride your bike or carpool (合用汽车).Obviously, youare creating less CO2which will help the ozone(臭氧).● Make a garden. Even simply grow some plants in your kitchen, which will help produce more oxygen while eating up some of that evil CO2.● Buy local groceries. It creates less impact on the environment. Besides, you're supporting your local farmers.● Recycle. You had to see this coming. But you have no idea how much you are helping the environment by simply reusing a water bottle instead of buying a huge pack at the store.● Don't run the water while brushing. It saves you money and helps the water resources.● Open the curtains. Natural light is much prettier and it will keep the energy usage down.● Rechargeable batteries. You have no idea how much it takes to get rid of batteries. Do yourself a favor. Save some money and some energy.1. If you don't want to create more CO2, you may_______.A. turn off your computer or open the curtainsB. turn off your computer or ride your bike or carpoolC. make a garden or open the curtainsD. use rechargeable batteries or make a garden2. Which of the following can best describe the function of the first paragraph?A. Main body.B. Argument.C. Lead - in.D. Conclusion.3. The main idea of the passage is about________.A. the importance of environmental protectionB. some ways about how to prevent pollutionC. some suggestions about how to save energyD. some suggestions about environmental protectionBAt the age of 50, Nina Schoen expects to have a long lifeahead of her, but has thought a lot about death—and why people are so reluctant to talk about it: “It’s going to happen to all of us,” she says, “but it should be a more positive experience than the fear we put into it.”When she first heard about a new end-of-life process that turns the body into compost (堆肥), “I was really moved by the idea,” says Schoen, who became one of the first to reserve a spot with a Seattle-based company called Recompose, the county’s first funeral home to offer human composting.Last year Recompose began transforming bodies to soil, more formally known as natural organic reduction. Before that, end-of-life options in the U.S. were limited to burial or cremation (火化), both of which come with environmental costs—U.S. cremations alone dump 1.7 billion pounds of carbon dioxide into theatmosphere every year.Katrina Spade pioneering the composting movement has spent a decade developing the process in hopes of offering people a greener option for death care. “I wondered, ‘What if we had a choice that helps the planet rather than harms it?’” Spade tells PEOPLE. “To know that the last gesture you’ll make will be gentle and beneficial and it just feels like the right thing to do.”After she had her own two sons, she began to wonder what she might do with her body after death. A friend who knew her interest in the topic reminded her that farmers sometimes compost the body of cows, and thatsparkedan idea for her theory: “If you can compost a cow, you can probably compost a human,” she thought, and she set about designing a facility to do just that.“This is about giving people another choice,” Spade says. “At first, people react with shock—‘You really can do that?’ But so many people today are looking at their impact on the Earth. This is a popular thing because when you die, you can give back to the planet.”4. How do people react when it comes to death according to paragraph 1?A. They are unwilling to comment.B. They can face it without fear.C. They feel it a positive experience.D. They would like to compost their bodies.5. What can we know about the company Recompose?A. Its CEO is Katrina Spade.B. It is located in Seattle.C. It was founded to resist cremation.D. It has spent 10 years composting bodies.6. What does the underlined word “sparked” probably mean?A. Changed.B. Compromised.C. Quitted.D. Inspired.7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A. A little things in our life can bring in big outcomes.B. We human beings should do all we can to help the earth.C. Composting is so popular that we should reserve a spot soon.D. We should reject burial because of its harm to environment.CIf you’re looking for a reason to care about tree loss, this summer’s record-breaking heat waves might be it. Trees can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit, according to arecent study. But tree cover in US cities is shrinking (缩减). A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period. “If we continue on this path, cities will become warmer, more polluted and generally unhealthier for inhabitants,” said David Nowak, a senior US Forest Service scientist and co-author of the study. Nowak says there are many reasons why our tree cover is declining, including hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, insects and disease. But the one reason for tree loss that humans can control is sensible development.Nowak says there is a downside to trees too, such as pollen allergy (花粉过敏) or large tailing branches in storms, and people don’t like sweeping leaves. But, he says, there are ways cities and counties can manage trees to help communities thrive (繁荣). Urban forests especially need our help to replace fallen trees. Unlike rural areas, it is very difficult for trees to repopulate themselves in a city environment with so much pavement and asphalt (沥青). “A lot of our native trees can’t actually find a place to drop a seed so they can regenerate,” explains Greg Levine, co-executivedirector of Trees Atlanta. “That’s why the community has to go in and actually plant a tree because the areas just aren’t natural anymore.”Nowak says the first step is caring for the trees on your own property (财产). “We think we pay for our house, and sowe must maintain it. But because we don’t pay for nature, we don’t need to. And that’s not necessarily true.”8. Why does the author mention “trees can lower summer daytime temperatures”?A. To tell the temperatures in summer are high.B. To explain the reason of tree loss.C. To tell trees are helpful.D. To introduce the topic.9. How can humans control tree loss according to Nowak?A. Develop cities in reasonable ways.B. Prevent fires form damaging trees.C. Improve climate to let trees grow.D. Decrease insects in cities.10. Why do forests in cities need our help?A. Because trees don’t grow in a city environment.B. Because native trees don’t drop seeds any more.C. Because trees in urban areas can’t regenerate naturally.D. Because humans want to plant more trees.11. What is the purpose of this passage?A. Describe the importance of trees in cities.B. Appeal people to protect trees in their surroundings.C. Ask people to plant trees with the author.D. Show the number of trees in theUSis declining.DWhen I was a boy, there was but one permanent ambition among my comrades in our village on the west bank of Mississippi River. That was, to be a steamboat man. We had temporary ambitions of other sorts, but they were only temporary.My father was a justice of the peace, and I supposed he possessed the power of life and death over all men and could hang anybody that offended him. This was distinction enough for me as a general thing；butthe desire to be a steamboat man kept intruding, nevertheless. One of our boys in town, who went away and was not heardof for-a long time, turned up as apprentice engineer on a steamboat. This thing shook the bottom out of all my Sunday—school teachings. That boy was notoriously worldly, and I was just the opposite. There was nothing generous about this fellow in his greatness. He would always manage to have a rusty nail to scrub while his boat stopped at our town, and he would sit on the inside guard and scrub it, where we could all see him. And wherever his boat was laid up he would come home and show off in the town in his blackest and greasiest clothes, so that nobody could help remembering that he was a steamboat man; and he used all sorts of steamboat technical terms in his talk, as if he were so used to them that he forgot common people could not understand them.This creature's career could produce but one result, and it was speedily followed. Boy after boy managed to get on the river. Despite many choices, pilot was the grandest position of all. The pilot, even in those days of trivial wages, had a princely salary—from 150—250 dollars a month, and no board payment.But our parents would not let us and our worry was the next year would find us hunting for jobs with low pay again. So by and by I ran away. I said I never would come home again till I was a pilot and could come in glory.12. Why does the writer mention his father's job in Paragraph 2?A. To show that his father was in power.B. To show that his father is cruel.C. To emphasize the job he prefers.D. To emphasize his love for his father.13. Which of the following can best conclude the writer's attitude toward the boy?A. He thought the boy was material but pitiful.B. He thought the boy was annoying but still envied him.C. He thought the boy was shallow but knowledgeable.D. He thought the boy was disrespectful but still liked him.14. Which of the following statements is Not True?A. The boy talked in a way to make others feel jealous.B. The boy's experience made other boys follow suit.C. The pilot's salary was ly high but without meals covered.D. The writer was ambitious to make his childhood dream come true.15. What rhetorical method does the underlined sentence have?A. Simile.B. Personification.C. Parallelism.D. Irony.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。

2020届北京市中关村中学高三英语一模试题及答案第一部分阅读（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ANothing beats live music, but the venue makes a difference. When you're able to score tickets to an incredible concert in an incredible place, you won't forget the experience. Here are some of the coolest music venues from around the world. If you haven't been to any of these, you've got some traveling to do.Red Rocks, Morrison, the United StatesRed Rocks might be the most beautiful and famous venue in the United States. At 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks is a geologically formed natural stage. Its massive sandstone provides a perfect stage for jam bands. If you're into the blues and jazz, you'll have no trouble finding something in line with your interests.Meet Factory, Prague, Czech RepublicSmallest venues on this list, Meet Factory is an art gallery, theater, and music venue. The venue only accommodates 1,000 people, so you won't see any huge names come through. Still, it's a great place to see up-and-coming local acts, and if you've got an eye for contemporary art, you'll love your time here.Arena of NÎmes, NÎmes, FranceOriginally built around A. D. 70, the Arena of Nimes presents concertgoers with an interesting question: Should they enjoy the music, or marvel at the architecture? The Arena is, after all, one of the world's best-preserved Roman theaters. Many major touring acts plan stops at the Arena of Nimes, especially during the venue's annual festival.Sydney Opera House, Sydney, AustraliaThe Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most famous performing venues. I's also one of the most distinctive buildings in Sydney, thanks to the breathtaking design by Danish architect Utzon. It hosts about 40 events per week, so whether you're into jazz, rock, classical music, or opera, you'll find something to watch.1.Where can you enjoy music in natural beauty?A.At Red Rocks.B.At Meet Factory.C.At Arena of Nimes.D.At Sydney Opera House.2.What is special about Meet Factory?A.It enjoys breathtaking scenery.B.It hosts both musical and artistic events.C.It is the largest venue of all.D.It is famous for contemporary music.3.What do the listed music venues have in common?A.They have a long history.B.They are built near the sea.C.They accommodate thousands of people.D.They are beautiful tourist attractions.BAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism. Their critics(批评家)seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays.The poor old consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn't forget is the “small ads.” What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column(栏目) but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It's the bestadvertisement for advertising there is!4. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Advertisements steal money from our pocketsB. The critics get the wrong idea of advertisements.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. Advertisements are everywhere.5. What is the attitude of the author toward advertisements?A. He appreciates the role of advertisements.B. He doubts the effect of advertisements.C. He believes what is said in advertisements.D. He complains too many advertisements in daily life.6. Which of the following is Not True?A. The personal or “agony” column makes us know more about human nature.B. The only purpose of advertising is to sell goods.C. A newspaper will cost us more if there is no advertisement on it.D. Advertisement makes our life color1 ful.7. Whicof the following shows the structure of the passage?( ①=" Paragraph" 1, ②=" paragraph" 2, ③=" paragraph" 3, ④=" paragraph" 4 ⑤=" paragraph" 5) A B.C. D.CWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood，he wasbetter off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys fromBoston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence（能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, ” said George Vaillant, the psychologist（心理学家）who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings（基础）of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”8. What do we know about John？A. He received little love from his family.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He enjoyed his career and marriage.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.9. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _______.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents' expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men10. Vaillant's team got their findings by _______.A. recording the boys' effort in schoolB. comparing different sets of scoresC. evaluating the men's mental healthD. measuring the men's problem solving ability11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D.Independenceis the key to one's success.DTOKYO—Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told the media on Monday if any places hosting events of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics declare a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic during the games, the events will continue to beheld but without spectators (观众). With one month to go before the games are due to begin on July 23, Suga is again showing his administration’s determination to hold the Olympic Games as planned, despite so much pressure from various parties urging it tocancel the event.Although the Japanese government regards the Tokyo Olympics as an important opportunity to improve its soft power, the Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games has been continuously dented (挫伤) since they were postponed last year. The resurgence (再猖獗) of the novel coronavirus in some places is Japan in recent months has cast a shadow over people’s confidence that the Olympics will not give rise to new clusters (群) of infections, and there are fears that the Games will provide new channels for the virus’ global transmission.Some torchbearers from Japan have withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay in the country. And the latest survey indicates only 34 percent of Japanese people support holding the games as scheduled. Predictably, the Suga administration will do all it can to try to ensure the games go ahead. But it remains to be seen whether it can stand the tests of the uncertainties related to epidemic prevention and control that might happen during the Games.Since it has not yet got the virus under control at home, the people have reasons to question is ability to deal with the prevention and control work when large numbers of participants will be flocking to Japan from aroundthe world in a short time. It is to be hoped that Japan can draw lessons from the organization of epidemic prevention and control work during the ongoing UEFA European Championship, carry out strict epidemic prevention and control measures, and be prepared for emergencies to guarantee the safety and success of the Olympics at this special time.It should be a common wish of the whole world that the Tokyo Olympics can become a stage showing unity and resolve of human beings in their fight against the virus. That willendowthe games with special meaning beyond sports.12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The virus’ global transmission.B. People’ worry about the infections.C. The resurgence of the novel coronavirus.D. The benefit of holding the Tokyo Olympics.13. How do about one third of Japanese people like holding the games as planned?A. Uncertain.B. Negative.C. Approving.D. Indifferent.14. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “endow” in the last paragraph?A. Compare.B. Equip.C. Provide.D. Charge.15. What can be the best title for the news report?A. Japan can ensure Olympics go aheadB. Olympics big test for Japanese governmentC. Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the GamesD. Japan to carry out strict epidemic prevention during the Games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。

reunion，members of the milestone class are asked to recall campus memories for an annual Memory Book．Here's a small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969．Phyllis Jo Baunach"…I cannot forget the endless hours studying，researching，and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks．We did everything by hand! But the joys of ideas coming to life and understanding thorny concepts are priceless．Additionally，I cannot forget the joyful hours of Co﹣Kast rehearsals for student﹣written﹣and﹣directed plays，and the thrill of audiences' responses to our efforts．Nor willI ever forget taking voice lessons at the Eastman School of Music．This course gave meconfidence to try new musical approaches and to think on my feet．"Paul Boehm"…many sweet and lasting memories一five feet of deep snow，getting stranded on the Thruway，music at Hylie Morris's Alley，and，of course，I met my wife of 48 years，Ellen Blazer Boehm from the Class of 1972，when she was a freshman and I was a senior．As a five﹣year chemical engineering major，I had one elective to spare，and Ellen said，'How about oceanography？' So，I enrolled in oceanography with Dr．Taro Takahashi （the famous climate scientist），which awakened my environmental juices，and changed my professional direction．"Farel Vella McClure"…I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester．In fact，I loved it so much that I stayed an extra year to get a master's degree! I was very fortunate tohave been totally immersed in student life on campus．My memories include campaigning and winning a seat on the student government during my freshman year．Other memories include the Susan B．Anthony banquet，and sleeping in the comfy chairs in the library．I was also privileged to be selected as a student representative on the design team for the new Wilson Commons．I．M．Pei，the famous architect who designed the Louvre Pyramid，was the architect for Wilson Commons．We even visited his offices in New York to see the 'master' at work．"（1）According to the passage，Paul Boehm．A．married Ellen Blazer in 1972B．disliked his major in universityC．became a famous climate scientist laterD．discovered his interest in environmental science（2）What can we learn about Farel Vella McClure？A．She was a world﹣famous designer．B．She was active in school activities．C．She had a hard time getting her master's．D．She once met I．M．Pei at the Louvre Pyramid．（3）The three people all talked about．A．their beloved professorsB．their great friendshipC．their learning experiencesD．their beautiful campus4．（8分）Early February，I was flying up to Ohio．Well prepared，I had everything in my favour 一fuel for five hours，charts in order，my flight plan on my lap，and a beautiful clear sky．I was wrong．I had heard about Alberta Clippers coming out of Canada．I knew all about them﹣howan entire air mass was streaming along at over sixty miles an hour．That morning，the Weather Briefer informed me that an Alberta Clipper was going over Chicago about，the time I got to the airport．Chicago was some 400 miles from my destination﹣not a factor，or so I thought．That was the first hint I missed．The controller called and asked if I wanted to adjust my flight plan．I did the check and everything was in the green．So I told him no．Twenty minutes later the controller called again asking whether I wanted to adjust my flight plan．I checked everything．All was fine．I ignored that hint．I was fooled by the smooth air and limited experience with a rapidly moving air mass that was not changing violently．The Alberta Clipper was clipping along．The first blast of turbulence （气流）struck my plane．I got slammed into the roof，and then slammed sideways hitting the window with such force up my nose that I started bleeding．After a 2﹣hour flight of 100 miles，I realized fuel was now an issue．So was landing．I called Flight Following．We figured out the airport I could land．The engine stopped．So did my heart．There is no quiet as quietly stunning as this one at such an altitude．I had run out of fuel in the left tank，and only a little in my right tank．The engine quit fbr a second time．I declared an emergency．I was told that I might get another few minutes of fuel if I gently banked the airplane．Luckily，it worked．Then，the engine quit for the last time．I was a glider now．I made a long lazy spiral descent．Down I went．I stopped at the very end of the runway．I made so many mistakes，missed so many clues，and showed my ignorance so much that I beat myself up over and over again in my mind．I learned textbook descriptions of Alberta Clippers and real﹣life experience with one are totally different．I will never forget the sound of that silence．I flew home the next day．Older．Wiser．Humbler．Lucky．（1）We can know from the passage that Alberta Clippers．A．can bring snowstormsB．are quick﹣moving air massesC．are violently changing air pressureD．can lead to a sudden temperature drop（2）What mainly led to the author's missing all the hints？A．His lack of flying experience．B．His poor preparation for the journey．C．His misjudgement about the air mass．D．His overconfidence in his piloting skills．（3）Which is the right order of the events？a．I declared an emergency．b．My airplane was running out of fuel．c．I insisted on carrying on my flight plan．d．I was thrown to the roof by the violent air mass．e．I slightly banked my airplane and made a landing．A．dcbeaB．dcebaC．cdabeD．cdbae（4）The passage describes．A．a rewarding trainingB．a narrow escapeC．a painful explorationD．a serious accident5．（8分）There is certainly evidence that actors experience a blending of their real self with their assumed characters．For instance，Benedict Cumberbatch said，"My mum says I'm much more impatient with her when I'm filming Sherlock．"Mark Seton，a researcher at the University of Sydney，has even coined the term "post ﹣dramatic stress disorder" to describe the lasting effects experienced by actors who lose themselves in a role．"Actors may often prolong habits of the characters they have embodied，" he writes．A recent finding doesn't involve acting，and it indicates that merely spending some timethinking about another person seemed to rub off on the volunteers sense of self led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University．Across several studies，these researchers asked volunteers to first rate their own personalities，memories or physical attributes，and then to perform the same task from the perspective of another person．For instance，they might score the emotionality of various personal memories，and then rate how a friend or relative would haveexperienced those same events．After taking the perspective of another，the volunteers scored themselves once again：the consistent finding was that their self﹣knowledge was now changed﹣their self﹣scores had shifted to become more similar to those they'd given for someone else．For instance，if they had initially said the trait term "confident" was only moderately related to themselves and then rated the term as being strongly related to a friend's personality，when they came to rescore themselves，they now tended to see themselves as more confident．Remarkably，this morphing of the self with another was still apparent even if a 24﹣hour gap was left between taking someone else's perspective and re﹣rating oneself．"By simply thinking about another person，we may adapt our self to take the shape of that person，"said Meyer and her colleagues．That our sense of self should have this quality might be a little discouraging，especially for anyone who has struggled to establish a firm sense of identity．Yet there is an optimistic message here，too．The challenge of improving ourselves一or at least seeing ourselves in a more positive light﹣might be a little easier than we thought．By roleplaying or acting out the kind of person we would like to become，or merely by thinking about and spending time with people who embody the kind of attributes we would like to see in ourselves，we can find that our sense of self changes in desirable ways．"As each of us chooses who to befriend，who to model，and who to ignore，" write Meyer and her colleagues，"we must make these decisions aware of how they shape not only the fabric of our social networks，but even our sense of who we are．"（1）The first two paragraphs mainly．A．state that acting requires skillsB．explain the stress that an actor facesC．show that a role leaves a mark on the actorD．stress the importance of devoting oneself to a role（2）What does the underlined phrase "rub off on" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？A．Influence．B．Strengthen．C．Confuse．D．Determine．（3）According to the study，taking the perspective of another person．A．brings changes to one's self﹣knowledgeB．motivates one to better understand himselfC．helps people deal with their identity problemsD．produces temporary effects on one's character（4）What is the significance of the study？A．It offers instructions on making friends．B．It proposes a means to improve ourselves．C．It gives advice on adjusting one's emotions．D．It presents a way to deal with stress disorder．6．（8分）In college，I was taught an elegant theory of chemical combination based on excess electrons going into holes in the orbital shell of a neighbouring atom．But what about diatomic compounds like oxygen gas？Don't ask；students aren't ready to know．In physics，in biology，in any other science classes，students frequently get that answer too．It's time to trust students to handle doubt and diversity in science．Actually，students are starting to act．They have shamed their seniors into including more diverse contributors as faculty members and role models．Young scholars rudely ask their superiors why they fail to address the extinction crises clarified by their research．The inherited authoritarian political structures of science education are becoming lame一but still remain largely unchanged from the old school days．A narrow，rigid education does not prepare anyone fbr the complexities of scientificresearch，applications and policy．If we discourage students from inquiring into the real nature of scientific truths，or exploring how society shapes the questions that researchers ask，how can we prepare them to maintain public trust in science in our "post﹣truth" world？Diversity and doubt produce creativity；we must make room for them，and stop guiding future scientists into narrow specialties that value technique over thought．In science，even foundational building blocks can be questioned．The unifying patterns of the periodic table are now questioned under closer examination．Some scientists now wonder whether the concept of biological "species" contributes more confusion than insight，and whether it should therefore be abandoned．However，such a decision would affect conservation policy，in which identification of endangered species is crucial一so it is not just an issue for basic science．Science students generally remain unaware that concepts such as elements and species are contested or are even contestable．In school，college and beyond，curricula highlight the technical and hide the reflective．Public arguments among scientists often presume that every problem has just one solution．Nonetheless，uncertain advice on complex issues should be a warning that，from a future perspective，today's total scientific consensus on some policy issue might have been the result of stubbornness， a conflict of interest or worse．Just as a healthy democracy accommodates dissent and dissonance，the collective consciousness of science would do well to embrace doubt and diversity．This could start with teaching science as a great，flawed，ongoing human achievement，rather than as a collection of cut﹣and﹣dried eternal （永久的）truths．I recall a legendaiy chemistry professor who was not skilful at getting classroom demonstrations to work一but discussing what went wrong helped his students to thrive．A mathematician friend let pupils discuss every statement in the textbook until all were satisfied．They did very well in exams，and taught themselves when he was absent．Treating people at all levels as committed thinkers，whose asking teaches us all，is the key to tackling the challenges to science in the post﹣trust age．（1）The problem of current science training is that．A．students cannot become specialistsB．it goes against established science educationC．students lose trust in their teachers and professorsD．it fails to provide students with what they need in future（2）The periodic table is mentioned to prove that．A．even the widely accepted can be challengedB．students are generally ignorant of scienceC．most previous researches are out of dateD．science has been developing with time（3）It can be learnt from the passage that．A．students may be more innovative if they are allowed to doubtB．science students do not contest elements or speciesC．students should not trust established scienceD．diversity prevents progress in science（4）Which of the following statements best represents the writer′s opinion？A．Our curricula highlight the technical and hide the reflective．B．Science should be a collection of cut﹣and﹣dried eternal truths．C．Teachers should treat people at all levels as committed thinkers．D．The concept of biological species brings more confusion than insight．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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．7．（10分）Is there a link between social media and depression？Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health？It's complicated．In a recent study，the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens．（1）Specifically，for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers，she likely had a 0.64﹣point higher depression score．A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social mediausers．The finding was that "problematic social media use" was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media．You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem，or your alcohol use may become problematic．（2）There's one important thing to remember about survey research﹣just because two things happen together，it's not necessarily true that one causes the other．（3）For all we know，it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media．（4）If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush，you're on the right track．On the one hand，participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress．On the other hand，cyberbullying via social media was alsoa common experience for participants．Some also said that constantly checking their ownsocial media profile was stressful．It's certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying，comparing yourself to idealized images，and constantly monitoring your profile，are bad for your mood．It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages．Given the inconclusive research，it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether．（5）Anyway，you cannot use it as a crutch fbr coping with other stressors and mental health problems．A．It's the same with social media．B．Social media can be a double﹣edged sword．C．People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media．D．They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores．E．They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks．F．The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected．G．For example，just because higher social media use co﹣occurs with higher levels of depression doesn't mean social media use causes depression．第三部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）8．（15分）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华．你的美国朋友Jim得知你对探月感兴趣，发来邮件和你讨论该话题．请你给他回复邮件，内容包括：1．月亮在中国文化中的寓意；2．你对人类探月活动的看法．注意：1．词数不少于50；2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数．提示词：探月moon explorationDear

2020届北京市海淀国际学校高三英语一模试卷及答案
2020届北京市海淀国际学校高三英语一模试卷及答案第一部分阅读（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AThis is a list of places to spend the 2020 Olympics if you aren't going to Japan.AustraliaThe fact that the summer Olympics fall during Australia's winter season is worth keeping in mind for two reasons: it makes traveling there cheaper, and it's still not too cold. As far as the Olympics are concerned, there will be no shortage of opportunities to watch the Games in between your various explorations of the country and its limitless activities.ThailandThailand is a breathtaking place 10 spend some time during any summer, and provides a perfect setting for Olympie viewing: You can go scuba diving one morning before watching sports all afternoon, or simply duck out for world-famous street food in between events. But Thai sports fans may also be taking extra interest in the Olympics these days.United StatesThe U.S. is likely to be as interested in the Olympics as any other nation, given is collection of athletes who will be taking center stage. You can rest assured it won't be difficult to watch the Games no matter where you're visiting specifically. This leaves you with all sorts of fun options. You can visit a luxury ski resort town like Aspen, which turns into a gorgeous hiking destination in the summer.Great BritainNot unlike the U, s. Britain will make for a fun place to spend the 2020 Olympics because there's a great deal of national interest in a number of different sports, and the local athletes are expected to be competitive. Summer can also be a good time to be in Britain in general," with ly mild temperatures allowing for full exploration of the country. That means you can stay in the beautiful Lake District if you like, hiking or kayaking when you're not watching the Games.1.What is special about Australia as a destination in an Olympic summer?A.Its season.B.Its activities.C.Its sports.D.Its scenery,2.Which country can you go to if you are a street food lover?A.Australia.B.Thailand.C.United States.D.Great Britain.3.What do the U. S. and Britain have in common as fun places to spend the 2020 Olympics?A.They both have a pleasant temperature.B.They are both interested in the Games.CThey both own lots of sports centers. D.They are both English-speaking countries.BOne of the greatest challenges in caring for such intelligent animals as chimpanzees(猩猩)is providing them with enriching experiences. Every day, the chimpanzees at Project Chimps receive morning and evening food-based enrichment devices, but caregivers are always looking for more ways to keep the chimps mentally engaged. With 79 chimpanzees, each with their distinctive personality, care staff often find that different chimps react differently to new enrichment.Last year, we began inviting musicians to perform for chimps to see what they may respond. A violin performance received quite the response. Additional musicians were lined up to visit but the coronavirus has stopped the activities, which we hope toresumein the near future.This past week, we brought an electric piano for the chimps to investigate. Some chimps, like twins Buttercup and Clarisse, were immediately interested and could not wait to tap out a few notes. Others, like Emma, were more interested in trying to take it apart.29- year-old Precious has very little tolerance for the piano. She sat off to the side for a few minutes, but eventually she decided that was enough. She called an end to the enrichment session by throwing a handful of waste at the piano. Receiving her message loud and clear, we removed the piano.We could never have guessed how 33-year-old Luke would react to it. As with many retired lab chimpanzees Luke has some anxiety issues. He seems particularly distrustful of anything new, including people, food, and enrichment. But when we presented the chimps with the piano, Luke was the first to investigate. We could not believe our eyes — this usually anxious chimpanzee bravely chose to explore something new!To us at Project Chimps, this is what it is all about: giving chimpanzees the freedom to choose. We are honored to be part of their journey.4. Why do chimpanzees respond differently to new enrichment?A. They are of different genders.B. They have natural curiosities.C They are as intelligent as humans. D. They have their unique characters.5. What does the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Continue.B. Suspend.C. Monitor.D. Regulate.6. Who showed the least interest in the piano?A. Buttercup and Clarisse.B. Emma.C. Precious.D. Luke.7. What is the text mainly about?A. How caregivers care for the retired chimpanzees.B. What care staff do to enrich chimpanzees' daily life.C. How chimpanzees are trained through various enrichment.D. What Project Chimps does to observe and study wild chimps.CA company called Neuralink has shared a video where a monkey is playing a video game. That' s fairly unusual, but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just his mind.The monkey in the video is called Pager who has two of Neuralink's special "Link" devices(装置)inside his brain. The devices planted in Pager's brain are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands.Scientists taught Pager to play a video game. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick it, which is a normal gaming controller. But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.Then they used computers to match the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was the most difficult work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence ( AI) to help them decode(解码)Pager's brain signals.The final step was to have a computer make moves inthe video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an “up” signal to the video game.At first, the researchers let Pager keep moving the joystick with his hand, even though it was no longer connected to the computer. But soon Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.Even though Neuralink's work right now focuses on animals and video games, there's a very serious purpose behind it. Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to make physical movementsto interact with the world around them.8. What are “Link” devices used to do?A. To pick up the arms' and hands' signals.B. To link the computer to the monkey's brain.C. To send out information about the brain's signals.D. To control movements of the arms and hands.9. What challenged scientists most in the study?A. Recording and sending out body signals.B. Training Pager to use the joystick correctly.C. Planting "Link" devices into Pager's brain.D. Matching brain signals to body movements.10. What is Neuralink's real purpose of the study?A. To test artificial intelligence.B. To help those without arms or legs.C. To study how animals play video games.D. To develop more complex video games.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Video Games for Animals Are Developed.B. Science Proves the Intelligence of Monkeys.C. Monkey Plays Video Games Using His Mind.D. Neuralink Is Leading the World in Technology.DWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology（生物技术）. With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. Today’s leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells（细胞）are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those ofbrain cells，would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will beable to take medicine to repair their organs（器官）. The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on－in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.12.

However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color1 manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers fromPortugalhas finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color1 that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.The research team began byporing overinstructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitledThe Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned.However, by piecing together suggestions from the text, the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town ofMonsarazin southPortugal.The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues — including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen (亚麻).” Thescientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment, producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color1 .Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began to determine the dye’s molecular structure. To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes — it was an entirely new class of color1 , one they named chrozophoridin. “Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.” the team wrote in the study. “Thus, we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.”4. The primary purpose of the study is to ________.A. restore and conserve ancient precious artworksB. determine the substance making up the foliumC. prove the ancient dye-making technique was organicD. identify which class of color1 folium belongs to5. The underlined phrase “poring over”in the second paragraph means ________.A. discussing publiclyB. testing repeatedlyC. passing directlyD. reading carefully6. What can be learned about the blue dye folium?A. It was essentially an inferior type of ink.B. It was the only kind made from wild berries.C. It could be carried and used easily.D. It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds.7. The article is mainly about _________.A. how the mystery ofa thousand-year-old blue dye was solvedB. why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dyeC. what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plantD. when and where the discovery of the dye was madeCIn the U. S., speaking more than one language fluently is not very common except in Los Angeles, California.The city has one of the largest population in the U. S. of young people between the ages of 18 and 34. Thisgeneration is often called millennials (新千年一代). More than half of millennials in Los Angeles are bilingual (双语的), which means they speak more than one language.Maria Elena Burgos is cooking a Mexican breakfast. She says making Mexican food is just one of the many traditions in her home. Another is speaking Spanish to her children.“We want them to be bilingual. We want to keep the Spanish somewhere in their learning too, not only at home.”When Ms Burgos first came to the United States from Mexico, she learned English. She knew her children would learn English quickly. So she wanted them to speak Spanish at home and study the language at school.She says being bilingual will give them more opportunities in the future. Knowing Spanish also means the children can talk with their s in Mexico.“When we had our children, one of the decisions we as parents made was to name them with a name that was easily pronounced in English and Spanish.”Elizabeth wants to know her family’s culture.” “The culture-to go back to our roots because that’s part of who we are.”Monica wants to pass on the culture to her children“It’s nice to know our culture and then to be able to pass it onto our children and grand-children and everyone to let them know where we come from.”And, Monica says she does not speak only English and Spanish. She has even learned some Korean in school.8. Which of the following is a tradition of Maria?A. Cooking breakfast for her s.B. Talking with her children in Spanish.C. Talking with her s in Spanish.D. Forcing her children to speak Spanish.9. What can be inferred from Monica’s words?A. She doesn’t care where she comes from.B. She looks forward to learning Spanish.C. Everyone should know his own culture.D. She doesn’t like American culture.10. Which of the following is mentioned about children speaking more languages?A. It can give children more chances in the future.B. It can make children feel proud before their friends.C. It can give the children a chance to go to a good college.D. It can let children go to the places where they want to go.11. What’s the main purpose of this passage?A. To entertain the readers with a funny story.B. To inform the readers of a shocking experiment result.C. To encourage more persons to learn a second language.D. To tell a truth that many people in Los Angeles are bilingual.DIf you've ever had a dog, you know just howdeep a connection you can develop with “man's best friend”. But a dog's life is much shorter than humans, about 12 to 15 years long, which means every dog owner has to go through the heartbreaking moment when their loving pet passes away.Why not make a clone of that dog then? This is the solution offered by a South Korean company, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation. The company has already successfully cloned at least 400 dogs, mostly for US customers, ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005. Now, Sooam Biotech has introduced its business toUKdog owners as well, offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.To clone a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died. Meanwhile,another dog is selected to supply an egg. Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb (子宫) of a female dog. The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months. The whole process takes less than a day, but it comes at a shockingly high price — around ￡63,000.But if you can't afford it now, you can also save the cell in a laboratory andaccess it at a later date.However, magical as cloning might sound, there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the original one. Just like identical twins of humans, they share the exactly same DNA but there will still be small differences between them. “The spots on a Dalmatian (斑点狗) clone will be different, for example” Insung Hwang, head of Sooam Biotech, told The Guardian.Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “cloneable”. Apart from genes, personality is also determined by upbringing and environment, which are both random elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome, Professor Tom Kirkwood atNewcastle University,UK, told The Telegraph.Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after all.Kirkwood, a dog owner himself, pointed out, “An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the painof letting go.”12. What service does Sooam Biotech Research Foundation offer?A. Making copies of pet dogs.B. Giving pet dogs identical twinsC. Helping dogs give birth to more puppies.D.Helping dog owners love their dogs more.13. Which order is correct in the dog cloning process?a. An egg is taken from another dog.b. A skin cell is taken from the pet dog.c. The egg grows into a puppy in two months.d. The egg is placed in the womb of a female dog.e. The DNA in the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell.A.a→d→b→e→c.B. a→e→b→d→cC. b→a→d→e→c.D. b→a→e→d→c.14. What can we learn about dog cloning from the passage?A. It has not been put into practice until recently.B. It is very popular among US andUKpet owners.C. It might not give the owners an exactlysame dog.D. It is very expensive and usually takes half a year to complete.15. What doesKirkwoodthink of dog cloning?A. He disagrees with it.B. He supports it.C. He is curious about it.D. He thinks it unbelievable.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。

2020届北京市海淀实验中学高三英语一模试卷及答案
2020届北京市海淀实验中学高三英语一模试卷及答案第一部分阅读（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AIt’s a tempting habit for them to look at their smartphone rather than make eye contact with someone. There is so much to look at: photographs, social media feeds, messages and emails. No wonder they are glued to their screens. But is it good for them?There have been many claims about the damage looking at screens does to our eyesight. Some people feared staring at a small bright box could make us short-sighted. This is a particular concern for children and young people, who spend a higher percentage of time using electronic devices. BBC reporter, Rory Jones, says, “There is enough evidence that no matter how long teenagers are spending looking at screens, they come across information about issues such as anorexia and self-harm that could prove damaging to their mental health.”But a new study says time in front of computers and phones might not be as bad for young people as many think. Research by the Oxford Internet Institute examined data from more than 17,000 teenagers in theUK,Irelandand theUnited States. Their study concluded that most links between life satisfaction and social media use were tiny, accounting for less than 1% of a teenager’s wellbeing. Professor Przybylski, director of research, said, “99.75% of a person’s life satisfaction has nothing to do with their use of social media.” The research found that family, friends and school life all had a greater impact on wellbeing.So, does this mean young people can spend longer looking at social media? TheOxfordresearchers are confident about its findings and that any connection between screen time and mental health is very small. Dr. Max Davie, officer for health improvement at theRoyalCollege, calls the study a “small first step”, but he says there are other issues to explore, such as screen time’s interference(干预) with other important activities like sleep, exercise and time with family or friends. Perhaps for now, the “right” amount of screen time is only a matter of personal judgement.1. What is people’s common belief concerning screen time?A. Looking at screens does harm to young people.B. Screen time provides a chance for teenagers to learn.C. Most teenagers get near-sighted due to looking at screens.D. A small amount of time online does little harm to teenagers.2. What can we learn from the new study by the Oxford Internet Institute?A. Screen time has a great influence on people’s daily activities.B. The right amount of the screen time is related to its content.C. There is a close link between social media and self-satisfaction.D. Social bonds play a more significant role in people’s wellbeing than social media.3. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A science fiction.B. A science magazine.C. A research paper.D. An economics book.BYou don't generally expect to put yourself in the public eye whenyou go on vacation. However when a British couple, Jessica and Edward, flew to Crete, they found themselves attracting a lot of attention after coming across a large sum of money in the street.At first, their Crete vacation hadn't been anything outside of the norm. However, it was as they were exploring the souvenir shops that everything changed. The couple were just walking down the street when Jessica suddenly kicked something lying on the ground. It looked a bit like a make-up bag and so they assumed that someone had lost it.Without hesitation, Jessica picked up the bag and opened it. She was shocked to see a lot of money in it-a total of 7,100 Euros. There was probably a lot they could do with all that money. However, the couple didn't have it in them to steal what belonged to someone else. Going to the police was the first thought that came to mind when Jessica saw the money. She didn't consider that there was any other choice, so the couple handed over the money to the local police.The police found the owner, an elderly woman, and informed the couple that the woman wanted to meet them. When they eventually met at the police station, the woman was so overcome with emotion that she wouldn't stop hugging and blessing them, although they insisted they were just doing the right thing.News of what the couple had done quickly made its way around the island. The locals wanted to show them their gratitude. This included receiving free taxi rides and even an offer to have their hotel room upgraded. The couple appreciated the kindness, but it was all getting to be a bit too much. They just wanted to have a normal vacation.They are probably hoping that they fly a little more under the radar during their next vacation. There's only so much attention that these two lovebirds can handle.4. What is the first reaction of the couple after finding the money?A. They decided to do all with that money.B. They bought something in souvenir shops.C. They turned it over to the local police station.D. They tried to look for the owner by themselves.5. Which o£ the following can best describe the locals in Crete?A. Polite and hard-working.B. Kind and grateful.C. Sociable and honest.D. Rich and determined.6. Why do the couple hope to “fly a little more under the radar" in the last paragraph?A. They want to take fewer flights.B. They can't handle more radars.C. They hope to gain less attention.D. They don't have more money.7. What can we learn from the text?A. Good things come to kind people.B. The early bird catchesthe worm.C. Behind bad luck conies good luck.D. Money is too much for strangers.CImagine the feeling of swinging at a baseball going 100 miles per hour—without leaving your living room, or being in race car as it roars down the track, while you are sitting on the couch.These are just some of the ways that sports business leaders say virtual reality (VR) will revolutionize how people train for and experience sports. Virtual and augmented（增强的）realities are together known as mixed reality (MR). “American footballers are already using VR to better train their minds andread the field,” Ludden said. “This can allow players to perfect their skills without risking injury.”Canadian company D-BOX Technologies designs and produces moving seats found in cinema and theme parks. It is now moving into sports, and shows its Formula One (F1) racing simulator（模拟器）. The seats stimulate the force of gravity, speed and every shaking as Fl champion Lewis Hamilton zips around city streets.A simulation seat uses pre-programed data now. Someday, though, it could use real-time information sent by the car. “They couldbroadcast live content through a network in pop-up theaters around the world,” Ludden said. Say you want to experience the true stress of a batter being up against major-league baseball pitcher. “You can have a heartbeat added to the sensation on the seat and then you can feel it, boom, boom,” Maheu explained. “When he swings and hits the ball, you can have an impact.”One day, fans around the world could physically experience every game from their favorite player in real time.Ludden said that current and near-future technology could create “augmented stadiums” for live audiences. Panasonic launched its “Smart Venue” plans which included the overlaying of graphics, advertisements, player statistics and replays on the field of play at a pro football game. “If you are seated in the cheap seats, you can see this really useful.” “Fans may someday join in stadium wide games, using the field as a virtual gaming platform,” Ludden added.8. What does the underlined phrase “read the field” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Get off the playing field.B. Build up a football court.C. Judge the situation on the field.D. Ask players to play on the spot.9. What does Maheu think audiences can do in the future baseball game?A. Enjoy live content in any theater.B. Program the simulation seats in advance.C. Control the force and speed of the baseball.D. Experience the real time game with the player.10. What does Ludden mainly describe in the last paragraph?A. The origin of VR.B. A future stadium.C. An advertisement platform.D. The expectations of audiences.11. What is the main idea of the text?A. VR can improve players' skills for sports.B. VR increases fans' joy in the baseball game.C. VR can improve sports experience for players and fans.D. VR promises a new future for football players and games.DThe prevalence of melanoma (黑素瘤) has been rapidly rising around the world for nearly a century. While some of the increase may be due to better detection, researchers also believe it’s because we’re spending more time outdoors in the sun, vacationing to warmer climates during the winter and using tanning beds. That rise is concerning, since melanoma is the most dangerous kind of skin cancer.Most of us know to cover up and apply sunscreen on hot, sunny days, but when fall arrives, we tend to drop those habits. Experts warn that’s a mistake. Though there’s less need for sun protection after summer ends, exposure to UV rays still adds up.What precautions you should take to defend against melanoma during the cooler months depends on whereyou are in the world. That’s because the further away you are from the equator, the more UV rays weaken in the winter. “In southern England or Canada, the daily dose of UVA on a clear summer day is 6.5 times higher than on a clear winter day,” says Professor Brian Diffey of the British Association of Dermatologists. “People in those countries typically receive only about 5% of their annual UV exposure in the winter months.”But no matter where you are, even during colder, lower risk months, it’s a mistake to put your sun-protection habits on ice. “It’s important to wear sun-screen when there is a lot of glare from the snow,” says Victoria Mar, director of the Victorian Melanoma Service at Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.Finally, you should monitor your moles(痣). “Early detection of melanoma is vital for successful treatment,” says Diffey. If it’s caught before it spreads to other parts of the body, the patient will have 99 % of chance to survive for five years. If it’s caught late, that can drop to 25%. Warning signs are a mole that’s changing size, shape or colour, or one that’s asymmetrical — sometimes referred to as “ugly duckling” moles. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor.12. What’s the main cause of the rise ofmelanoma?A. The climate change.B. Better detection.C. More exposure to the sun.D. The increase ofskin cancer.13.What’s a mistake according to experts?A. Applying sunscreen in summer.B. Wearing sun-screen when there is snow.C. Using sunscreen during lower risk months.D. Dropping sun-protection habits in winter.14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Prevention is better than cure.B. Health is better than wealth.C. A disease known is half cured.D. When the sun comes in, the doctor comes out.15. What is the best title of the text?A. Detect Melanoma.B. Beware Winter Rays.C. Monitor Your Moles.D. Spend Less Time Outdoors.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。

AAt 8, I started taking art lessons (1) (improve) my painting skills. However, later, I found that I focused too much on mastering different techniques.

Over time, I have been released from the tight control. I have learned that a good painting is not about having perfect technique. In fact, all I need to do is trust my (3)(create) talents and find moments of joy in life.1.【答案】to improve【解析】本题考查非谓语做状语；提示词improve 为动词，句子中，前面的代词I 与名词lessons，都不能充当improve 的主语，所以improve 需要做非谓语。
按照三步式解题：1）其逻辑主语是I；2）improve 与逻辑主语之间是主动关系；3）且improve 动作发生在start taking 之后，故使用不定式。
在句子中充当目的状语。
翻译为“在8 岁时，我开始学习艺术课程，去改进我的绘画技能。
”故正确答案是to improve。
2.【答案】a【解析】本题考查冠词3.【答案】creative 【解析】本题考查词性变换；本题提示词为c r e a t e ，是动词。
在句子中处于形BIn recent years, trampolining( 蹦床) has become a new craze among Chinese youths. Short videos (4)(show) people’s excitement about jumping back and forth on thecolorful trampolines are regularly uploaded to social media. Mostvideos feature teenagers, but adults too have jumped on the trend, hoping to relive their childhood.Compared with soccer, basketball, tennis or any other competitive sports, (5)various injuries occur from time to time, trampolining is relatively (6)(safe). However, preparation and safety always come first. You must do warm-up exercises before playing and you can’t lose concentration during the movements.4.【答案】showing【解析】本题考查非谓语做后置定语；提示词show 为动词，需要考虑做谓语或者非谓语。
将这句子中的谓语动词找出来，后面有一个areuploaded，2比较，不能在其之后，所以选择使用 showing 做后置定语。
翻译为“那些显示人们在彩色蹦床上蹦来蹦去获得欢乐的短视频，被频繁上传到社交媒体上。
”故正确答案是showing 。
5. 【答案】 where【解析】本题考查定语从句；空格处无提示词，并且后面是一个句子，考虑是从句6. 【答案】 safer【解析】 本题考查形容词；提示词 safe 为形容词，位置处于 is 后，考虑词性为形容词，且有 relatively 修饰，词意为“相对地”，所以，使用比较级。
翻译为“蹦床相对安全”，故正确答案是 safer 。
CA new report shows that China’s urban pet consumer market (7)(expect) tobreak through the 200 billion yuan threshold this year. Young people in big cities are the main contributors. Nowadays, with the cost of living rising, young people (8) (suffer) from greater loneliness and pressure. They are busy working all day in a competitive environment, leaving little time for fun and friends. That may explain (9) more andmoreyoungpeoplearechoosingtokeeppets(10)companionship. Apart from relieving loneliness, many scientific studies have shown that keeping a pet reduces stress and may even improve overall health. 37. 【答案】is expected【解析】 本题考查谓语动词；提示词expect 为动词，考虑谓语动词或者非谓语动词， 由于前面 China’s urban pet consumer market ，可以充当 expect 的主语，所以判定expect 做谓语。
另外，expect 这个词，be expected to 意为“预料；预计”，翻译为 “中国城市宠物消费市场预计今年将突破 2000 亿门槛。
”故正确答案是 is expected 。
8. 【答案】are suffering【解析】 本题考查谓语动词；提示词 suffer 是动词，且句中没有谓语动词,所以判定suffer 做谓语。
本句有自己的时间提示词 nowadays ，判定时态是现在时，且根据句意确定为现在进行时；语态为主动；主语为 young people 复数（可以结合下句 they。
故正确答案是 are suffering 。
9.【答案】 why【解析】 本题考查名从；空格处无提示词。
空格处是一个句子，且处于 may explain 后，所以判定为宾语从句。
句子结构完整，且根据句意“那可以解释（为什么）越来越 多的年轻人选择宠物做伴”。
故正确答案是 why 。
10. 【答案】 for 【解析】 本题考查介词；空格处无提示词，位置处于名词 pets 和 companionship 之间。
只能考虑连词或者介词。
根据句意“养宠物做伴”。
