2020年天津市高考英语试卷(第二次)附答案

2020年天津市高考英语试卷（第二次）题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共20小题，共50.0分）AHow to Use a Modern Public LibraryHas it been a while since your last visit to a public library？If so，you may be surprised tolearn that libraries have changed for the better．Itˈs been years since they were dusty littlerooms with books．They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge，meet interesting people，or find out how to start a business．Check out a book．While libraries still loan out（出借）books，youˈll find it easier to get a copy of whatever youˈre looking for，thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries．Via such networks，libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles ．Once the book youˈve requested is delivered to the nearest branch，they will inform you by e﹣mail，so you can pick it up．Check out other items．The library is now a multimedia zone，loaded with information in many formats（载体形式）．You can borrow movies on DVDs，music on CDs，and popularmagazines．Some libraries even loan out toys and games．If a popular magazine you want isnˈtoffered and the library keeps a list of such requests，they may bring it in when enough interest is shown．Join targeted reading groups．Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted tovarious age groups．Perhaps youˈd like to learn a language or improve your English．Thelibrary may sponsor a language group you could join．If you have difficulties reading，ask about special reading opportunities．Your library might be able to accommodate you．And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book．Start a business using the help of your local library．If you want to have a business of your own，your local library can become a launch space for it．In library books and computers ，you can find information on starting a business．Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce（商会）and government agencies，and they will offer printing，faxing and database services you need．1.Public libraries connected by a cooperative network benefit readers by ．A. sharing their books on the InternetB. giving access to online reading at a library branchC. sending a needed book to a library branch nearbyD. making the checkout procedures diverse2.According to Paragraph 3，what items may be checked out from a public library？A. A magazine and an e-book．B. A game and an oil painting．C. A music CD and a kidˈs toy．D. A DVD and a video player．3.As is described in Paragraph 4，taking a small kid to a half-hour Story Timeallows ．A. the kid to learn a new languageB. the parent to enjoy quiet readingC. the kid to overcome reading difficultiesD. the parent to meet their program sponsor4.Your local library can help you start a business by ．A. providing relevant information and supporting servicesB. offering professional advice on business managementC. supplying useful information of your potential buyersD. arranging meetings with government officials5.What is the purpose of the passage？A. To point out the importance of public libraries．B. To encourage people to work in public libraries．C. To introduce the improved services of public libraries．D. To call for the modernization of public library systems．B"They tell me that youˈd like to make a statue（塑像）of me﹣is that correct，Miss Vinnie Ream？"The deep，gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl．Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter，especially for a seventeen-year-old girl．"Yes，sir，" she replied，her dark eyes meeting his．"I wouldnˈt have dared to ask you，but my teacher，Mr．Mills，says I am ready．I plan to make it in an admirable manner．"President Lincoln smiled．"Painters，sculptors—theyˈve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face，but Iˈm afraid thereˈs not much hope．What did you have in mind，Miss Ream ？A bust（半身像）？"Before Vinnie could say yes，the President hurried on，a shade of apology in his voice．"Of course—I shouldnˈt have asked．A full﹣length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size．"Vinnieˈs face turned red．She realized she looked like a child，with her tiny figure．"Small does not mean weak，sir，" she defended herself．"I was born in the country of Wisconsin．Iˈvedriven teams of horses and carried water．Making a full-length clay（粘土）figure would not exhaust my strength—and that is what I intend to do!"The Presidentˈs eyes，brightened at her show of spirit．"Sorry，madam，I have underestimated you as I didnˈt know your background．"But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers，in thought．"Miss Ream，" hesighed，"Iˈd like to let you do it，but as you know，we are in the middle of a war．How couldI possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now？I hardly have a minute to myself．"Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office．"I work quickly，" she said．Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows．"If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon，I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk．"The President seemed to consider her idea seriously．He got up and shook Vinnieˈs hand warmly，"Iˈve heard that you are a talented young woman，and I have found you charmingand intelligent as well．I cannot make my decision immediately，but you will hear from me soon．"The very next day，Vinnie received an invitation from the President．6.What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln？A. Her aggressive personality．B. Mr．Millsˈs encouraging remark．C. President Lincolnˈs gentle voice．D. Her interest in a challenging job．7.How did President Lincoln first respond to Vinnieˈs request？A. Pleased．B. Thrilled．C. Regretful．D. Doubtful．8.Vinnie confirmed her ability to make a full﹣length statue by highlighting____．A. her experience from other projectsB. her innocent childhood in the countryC. the heavy labor she had done beforeD. the skill she picked up in Wisconsin9.Vinnie wanted to choose the corner near the windows to____．A. achieve effects of natural lightingB. keep all her tools within easy reachC. observe the President at a right angleD. avoid disturbing the Presidentˈs work10.What message does the story convey？A. A strong-willed soul can reach his goal．B. Experience helps to promote excellence．C. Ups and downs make one strong．D. Devotion requires enthusiasm．CFor people，who are interested in sound，the field of sound technology is definitely making noise．In the past，sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios，but manyof todayˈs sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionalsin other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound．Sound can be used as a weapon．Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief．The thieftries to escape．And the officer canˈt let him get away．He pulls out a special device，pointsit at the suspect，and switches it on．The thief drops to the ground．This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device（LRAD，远程定向声波发射器）．It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person．The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person，but it is not deadly．For those who hunger for some peace and quiet，sound can now create silence．Letˈs sayyou are at the airport，and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming（哼唱）a short commercial song．He hums it over and over again，and you are about to go crazy．Thanks to the Silence Machine，a British invention，you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents．One may wonder how the Silence Machine works．Well，it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves．The two sets of waves cancel each other out．Simply turn the machine on point it at the target，and your peace and quiet comes back．Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights（聚光灯）are used in the theater．A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage；similarly，a "spotsound" creates a circle of sound in one targeted area．This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers．Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu，allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining．Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes．11.What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD？A. It causes temporary hearing loss．B. It slows down a running man．C. It makes it easy to identify a suspect．D. It keeps the suspect from hurting others．12.The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to____．A. silence the people around youB. remove the sound of commercialsC. block the incoming sound wavesD. stop unwanted sound from affecting you13.What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share？A. They travel in circles．B. They clear the atmosphere．C. They can be transformed into energy．D. They can be directed onto a specific area．14.Directed sound can be used for____．A. creative designs of restaurant menusB. ideal sound effects on the theater stageC. different choices of music for businessesD. strict control over any suspicious customer15.What does the passage focus on?A. How professionals invented sound products．B. Inventions in the field of sound technology．C. The growing interest in the study of sound．D. How sound engineers work in their studios．DAfter years of observing human nature，I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance，curiosity and discontent．I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either．And I have never known an average man who had both．The two belong together．Together，these deep human urges（驱策力）count for much more than ambition．Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground．Like Galileo，all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent，"Why？Why？Why？"Fortunately，curiosity and discontent donˈt have to be learned．We are born with them and need only recapture them．"The great man，" said Mencius（孟子），"is he who does not lose his childˈs heart．" Yetmost of us do lose it．We stop asking questions．We stop challenging custom．We just follow the crowd．And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average．It encourages us to occupy our own little corner，to avoid foolish leaps into the dark，to be satisfied．Most of us meet new people，and new ideas，with hesitation．But once having met and liked them，we think how terrible it would have been，had we missed the chance．We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake．How should you start？Modestly，so as not to become discouraged．I think of one friend who couldnˈt arrange flowers to satisfy herself．She was curious about how the experts did it．How she is one of the experts，writing books on flower arrangement．One way to begin is to answer your own excuses．You havenˈt any special ability？Most people donˈt；there are only a few geniuses．You havenˈt any time？Thatˈs good，because itˈsalways the people with no time who get things done．Harriet Stowe，mother of six，wrote parts of Uncle Tomˈs Cabin while cooking．Youˈre too old？Remember that Thomas Costainwas 57 when he published his first novel，and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78．However you start，remember there is no better time to start than right now，for youˈll neverbe more alive than you are at this moment．16.In writing Paragraph 1，the author aims to____．A. propose a definitionB. make a comparisonC. reach a conclusionD. present an argument17.What does the example of Galileo tell us？A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth．B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious．C. Creativity results from challenging authority．D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore．18.What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent？A. Observe the unknown around you．B. Develop a questioning mind．C. Lead a life of adventure．D. Follow the fashion．19.What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7？A. Gaining success helps you become an expert．B. The genius tends to get things done creatively．C. Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action．D. You should remain modest when approaching perfection．20.What could be the best title for the passage？A. Curious Minds Never Feel ContentedB. Reflections on Human NatureC. The Keys to AchievementD. Never Too Late to Learn二、单选题（本大题共15小题，共15.0分）21.Jim says we ______ stay in his house as long as we leave it clean and tidy．A. mustB. canC. needD. should22.—You are a great swimmer．—Thanks．Itˈs because I ______ a lot these days．A. have been practisingB. was practisingC. would practiseD. had practised23.—Next time you visit Bob，remember to give him a call in advance．—______．I will．A.

New explorations of the sky are being launched．B. Pollution caused by batteries is being controlled．C. Efforts are being made to make air travel greener．D. Demand for short-haul flights is increasing massively．26.Why is Harbour Air fit for electric flights？A. It runs short routes．B. It has a strong partner．C. Its planes can land on the sea．D. It has planes with powerful engines．27.The expression "added bonus" refers to the fact that electric planes ．A. give passengers more pleasant viewsB. bring airlines more financial benefitsC. offer more enjoyable flying experiencesD. cost less in maintenance than traditional ones28.What might be the biggest challenge of electric flyingA. To improve the ground service for e-planes．B. To find qualified technicians for e-plane industry．C. To calculate the energy needed to power e-planes．D. To balance power and weight of batteries in e-planes．29.What could be done during the transition from gas to electric in air flight？A. To produce new electric components．B. To increase battery consumption．C. To use mixed﹣power technology．D. To expand the landing field．30.What is the authorˈs attitude towards the prospect of electric flying？A. Short-sighted．B. Wait-and-see．C. Optimistic．D. Skeptical．(2021·天津市·历年真题)DStudying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you're studying history, asking yourself the question "why is history important" is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history.History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse (一瞥）into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution of your culture can provide.History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的）. Studying history can give us insight (洞察力）into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance (无知）. We're scared of the things that we don't understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.History can inspire us to learn more. What's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere, and there is something in there for absolutely anybody.The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don't have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.31.The underlined part "where we are today" in Para.2 probably means ．A. the turning point in our historyB. the present state of our nationC. the location of our homelandD. the total area of our country32.According to the experts，why is history useful for people to handle challenges of life？A. The problems at present are similar to those in the past．B. Ancient people laid economic foundations for people today．C. The current challenges of life were predicted by the ancestors．D. People living long time ago knew more about how to solve problems．33.What can be concluded from Para.4？A. It is difficult to get rid of cultural barriers．B. People are willing to accept foreign cultures．C. Cultural conflicts in history are difficult to ignore．D. History helps us improve our cross﹣cultural awareness．34.With the example in Para.5，the writer intends to show that ．A. Charles Dickens contributes much to British literatureB. Oliver Twist can satisfy our curiosity for romantic poetsC. reading novels is a way to learn about a historical periodD. studying history can arouse p eopleˈs interest in other fields35.What could be the best title for the passageA. How to Build Cultural IdentityB. Why Studying History MattersC. Know the Past，Know the PresentD.

It was extremely touching and comforting to know that somebody had taken the time to do that for my family. It was a moment I'll never forget.”Susan soon learned the artist was her sons surgeon, Robert Parry, who discovered another way to use his hands in the mid-1980 s during his internship （实习期）at children's medical center. where he saw one of his colleagues cut out heart and shark shapes to decorate children’s bandages.“My first reaction was, 'What is he doing? Hey, that’s kind of neat,’ ” Parry recalled. “I especially liked the reactions of the parents and the patients when they saw his artwork. The smiles took everyone's attention from the surgery. Then I decided to follow suit.”Parry quickly graduated from his early hearts and sharks, and started to surprise families with drawings that captured young patients' personalities. From Snoopy to Spider-Man and bears to butterflies, there isn’t much he hasn’t drawn. Most kids want superheroes sports team logos or princesses, while babies often receive scenes with flowers trees and sea creatures During the last 30 years, Parry estimates he has left examples of his handiwork over the stitches （伤口缝线） of more than 10, 000 children.“During a time of stress for families, it's nice to be able to help them smile and laugh," Parry said. This is something positive that I can do for them, which is what I like most about it.”For Parry, the reward is knowing he hopefully made a difference in a child’s life, and except for his drawings on bandages, they can go on and live their lives and never know I was in it.” he said.He's not ready to retire, but he's found a new hobby to keep his hands skillful in the years to come.“I've taken up knitting（编织）,” Parry said. “Hats, sweaters, gloves---I enjoy it all. But mostly, I enjoy giving everything away.”40．Susan burst into tears after her baby's operation because she was__________. A．moved B．amusedC．stressed D．heartbroken41．How did Parry get the idea of decorating children's bandages?A．He was motivated by his patients.B．He was inspired by his colleague.C．He was required to learn the skill during his internship.D．He was encouraged by Susan to show his genius for art.42．Parry's artworks during the last 30 years show that he__________.A．devoted himself more to art than to medicine.B．knew more about his patients than their parents.C．took into consideration the tastes of individual patients.D．created a large number of works beyond his expectations.43．What does Parry expect to achieve with his artworks?A．To get a reward from the artistic circle.B．To win the admiration of his colleagues.C．To make a difference in his dull medical career.D．To lift the spirits of his patients and their parents.44．What can we learn about Parry from the last two paragraphs of the passage?A．He is eager to show others his new skills.B．He enjoys trying new ways to help others.C．He is looking forward to life after retirement.D．He is more interested in knitting than drawing.Transport has a lot to answer for when it comes to harming the planet. While cars and trains are moving towards greener, electric power, emissions from air travel are expected to increase massively by 2050. If we want big green sky solutions, we need blue sky thinkingFortunately, there's plenty of that happening right now, particularly the short-haul flights试卷第8页，总16页powered by batteries.Harbour Air is the largest seaplane airline in North America, flying 30, 000 commercial flights in 40 seaplanes each year. Significantly, all Harbour Air routes last less than 30 minutes, making it perfectly fit for electric engines. “As an airline, we're curre ntly in the process of turning all our planes into electric airplanes. says CEO Greg Mc Dougall. To make this happen, the airline has partnered up with MagniX to create the worlds first commercial flight with an electric engine.Making the skies electric isn't just good for the environment, it also makes sound financial sense: a small aircraft uses $400 on conventional fuel for a 100-mile flight, while an electric one costs $8-12 for the same distance, and that's before you factor in the higher maintenance costs of a traditional engine. There's also the added bonus that electric planes are just much more pleasant to fly in. No loud engine noise, no smell of fuel, just environmentally friendly peace and quiet.While there has been real progress in the e-plane industry, the technical challenges that remain are keeping everyone's feet firmly on the ground. A battery, even a lithium one, only provides 250 watt-hours per kilogram; compare this to liquid fuel, which has a specific energy of 11, 890 watt-hours per kilogram. Carrying adequate batteries, however, would make the plane too heavy to get off the ground. In aircraft, where every bit of weight counts, this can't just be ignored.The transition （过渡） from gas to electric in the automobile industry has been made easier by hybrids-vehicles powered by both fuel and electricity. Many believe the same pattern could be followed in the air. Fuel consumption could be reduced as the electric component is switched on at key parts of the journey, especially on take-off and landing.It's certainly an exciting time for electric flying. With companies like Harbour Air taking the lead, battery-powered planes, especially on short-haul journeys, are set to become a reality in the next few years.45．According to Para. l, what is happening in air transport? A ．New explorations of the sky are being launched. B ．Pollution caused by batteries is being controlled. C ．Efforts are being made to make air travel greener. D ．Demand for short-haul flights is increasing massively. 46．Why is Harbour Air fit for electric flights?A．It runs short routeB．It has a strong partner.C．Its planes can land on the sea.D．It has planes with powerful engines.47．The expression "added bonus" refers to the fact that electric planes___________. A．give passengers more pleasant viewsB．bring airlines more financial benefitsC．offer more enjoyable flying experiencesD．cost less in maintenance than traditional ones48．What might be the biggest challenge of electric flying?A．To improve the ground service for e-planes.B．To find qualified technicians for e-plane industry.C．To calculate the energy needed to power e-planes.D．To balance power and weight of batteries in e-planes.49．What could be done during the transition from gas to electric in air flight?A．To produce new electric components.B．To increase battery consumption.C．To use mixed-power technology.D．To expand the landing field.50．What is the author's attitude towards the prospect of electric flying?A．Short-sighted.B．Wait-and-see.C．Optimistic.D．Skeptical.Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you're studying history, asking yourself the question "why is history important "is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history.History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse（一瞥）into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they试卷第10页，总16页need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution of your culture can provide.History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.History makes us more empathetic （具有共情能力的）, Studying history can give us insight （洞察力）into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance （无知）. We're scared of the things that we don't understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.History can inspire us to learn more. what's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist . Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere, and there is something in there for absolutely anybody.The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don't have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.51．The underlined part "where we are today" in Para. 2 probably means __________. A ．the turning point in our history B ．the present state of our nation C ．the location of our homeland D ．the total area of our country52．According to the experts, why is history useful for people to handle challenges of life? A ．The problems at present are similar to those in the past. B ．Ancient people laid economic foundations for people today. C ．The current challenges of life were predicted by the ancestors.D ．People living long time ago knew more about how to solve problems. 53．What can be concluded from Para.4? A ．It is difficult to get rid of cultural barriers. B ．People are willing to accept foreign cultures. C ．Cultural conflicts in history are difficult to ignore. D ．History helps us improve our cross-cultural awareness.54．With the example in Para.5, the writer intends to show that______________. A ．Charles Dickens contributes much to British literature. B ．Oliver Twist can satisfy our curiosity for romantic poets. C ．reading novels is a way to learn about a historical period. D ．studying history can arouse people's interest in other fields. 55．What could be the best title for the passage? A ．How to Build Cultural Identity B ．Why Studying History Matters C ．Know the Past, Know the Present D ．History: a Way to Broaden Horizons 四、阅读表达阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

How to Use a Modern Public Library Has it been a while since your last visit to a public library? If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changedfor the better.It's been years since they were dusty little rooms with books.Theyhave transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge,meet interesting people,or find out how to start a business.Check out a book.While libraries still loan out（出借）books,you'll find it easierto get a copy of whatever you're looking for,thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries.Via such networks,libraries share their books with each other through theuse of delivery vehicles.Once the book you've requested is delivered to the nearest branch,they will inform you by e-mail,so you can pick it up.Check out other items.The library is now a multimedia zone,loaded with information in many formats（载体形式）．You can borrow movies on DVDs,music on CDs,and popular magazines.Some libraries even loan out toys and games.If a popular magazine you want isn't offered and the library keeps a list of such requests,they may bring it in when enough interest is shown.Join targeted reading groups.Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted to various age groups.Perhaps you'd like to learn a language or improveyour English.The library may sponsor a language group you could join.If you have difficulties reading,ask about special reading opportunities.Your library might be ableto accommodate you.And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to ahalf-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book.Start a business using the help of your local library.If you want to have a business of your own,your local library can become a launch space for it.In library books and computers,you can find information on starting a business.Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce（商会）and government agencies,and they will offer printing,faxing and database services you need.（1）Public libraries connected by a cooperative network benefit readers by________．A sharing their books on the Internet B giving access to online reading at a library branch C sending a needed book to a library branch nearby D making the checkout procedures diverse．（2）According to Paragraph 3，what items may be checked out from a public library？________A A magazine and an e-book.B A game and an oil painting.C A music CD and a kid's toy. D A DVD and a video player.．（3）As is described in Paragraph 4，taking a small kid to a half-hour Story Time allows________．A the kid to learn a new languageB the parent to enjoy quiet readingC the kid to overcome reading difficultiesD the parent to meet their program sponsor．（4）Your local library can help you start a business by________．A providing relevant information and supporting servicesB offering professional advice on business managementC supplying useful information of your potential buyersD arranging meetings with government officials．（5）What is the purpose of the passage？________A To point out the importance of public libraries.B To encourage people to work in public libraries.C To introduce the improved services of publiclibraries. D To call for the modernization of public library systems.．18. "They tell me that you'd like to make a statue（塑像）of me-is thatcorrect,Miss Vinnie Ream? "The deep,gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl.Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter,especially for a seventeen-year-old girl."Yes,sir," she replied,her dark eyes meeting his."I wouldn't have dared to ask you,but my teacher,Mr. Mills,says I am ready.I plan to make it in an admirable manner. "President Lincoln smiled."Painters,sculptors-they've all tried to make the best of this ordinary face,but I'm afraid there's not much hope.What did you have in mind,Miss Ream? A bust（半身像）? "Before Vinnie could say yes,the President hurried on,a shade of apology in his voice."Of course-I shouldn't have asked.A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size. "Vinnie's face turned red.She realized she looked like a child,with her tiny figure."Small does not mean weak,sir," she defended herself."I was born in the country of Wisconsin.I've driven teams of horses and carried water.Making a full-length clay （粘土）figure would not exhaust my strength-and that is what I intend to do!"The President's eyes,brightened at her show of spirit."Sorry,madam,I haveunderestimated you as I didn't know your background."But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers,in thought."Miss Ream," he sighed,"I'd like to let you do it,but as you know,we are in the middle of a war.How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now?

For people,who are interested in sound,the field of sound technology is definitely making noise.In the past,sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios,but many of today's sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.Sound can be used as a weapon.Imagine that a police officer is chasing athief.The thief tries to escape.And the officer can't let him get away.He pulls out a special device,points it at the suspect,and switches it on.The thief drops to theground.This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device（LRAD, 远程定向声波发射器）．It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person.The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person,but it is not deadly.For those who hunger for some peace and quiet,sound can now create silence.Let's say you are at the airport,and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming（哼唱）a short commercial song.He hums it over and over again,and you are about to go crazy.Thanks to the Silence Machine,a British invention,you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents.One may wonder how the Silence Machine works.Well,it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves.The two sets of waves cancel each other out.Simply turn the machine on point it at the target,and your peace and quiet comes back.Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights（聚光灯）are used in the theater.A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly,a "spotsound" creates a circle of sound in one targeted area.This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers.Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu,allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining.Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes.（1）What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD？________ A It causes temporary hearing loss. B It slows down a running man. C It makes it easy to identify a suspect. D It keeps the suspect from hurting others.．（2）The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to________．A silence the people around youB remove the sound of commercialsC block the incoming sound wavesD stop unwanted sound from affecting you．（3）What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share？________A They travel in circles.B They clear the atmosphere.C They can be transformed into energy.D They can be directed onto a specific area.．（4）Directed sound can be used for________．A creative designs of restaurant menusB ideal sound effects on the theaterstage C different choices of music for businesses D strict control over any suspicious customer．（5）What does the passage focus on？________A How professionals invented sound products.B Inventions in the field of sound technology.C The growing interest in the study of sound.D How sound engineers work in their studios.．20. After years of observing human nature,I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance,curiosity and discontent.I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either.And I have never known an average man who had both.The two belong together.Together,these deep human urges（驱策力）count for much more than ambition.Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground.Like Galileo,all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent,"Why? Why? Why? "Fortunately,curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned.We are born with them and need only recapture them."The great man," said Mencius（孟子）, "is he who does not lose his child's heart." Yet most of us do lose it.We stop asking questions.We stop challenging custom.We just follow the crowd.And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average.It encourages us to occupy our own little corner,to avoid foolish leaps into the dark,to be satisfied.Most of us meet new people,and new ideas,with hesitation.But once having met and liked them,we think how terrible it would have been,had we missed the chance.We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.How should you start? Modestly,so as not to become discouraged.I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself.She was curious about how the experts did it.How she is one of the experts,writing books on flower arrangement.One way to begin is to answer your own excuses.You haven't any special ability? Most people don't; there are only a few geniuses.You haven't any time? That's good,because it's always the people with no time who get things done.Harriet Stowe,mother of six,wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking.You're tooold? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel,and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78．However you start,remember there is no better time to start than right now,for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment.（1）In writing Paragraph 1，the author aims to________．A propose a definitionB make a comparisonC reach a conclusionD present an argument．（2）What does the example of Galileo tell us？________A Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.B Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.C Creativity results from challenging authority.D Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.．（3）What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent？________A Observe the unknown around you.B Develop a questioning mind.C Lead a life of adventure.D Follow the fashion.．（4）What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7？________A Gaining success helps you become an expert.B The genius tends to get things done creatively.C Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking noaction. D You should remain modest when approaching perfection.．（5）What could be the best title for the passage？________A Curious Minds Never Feel ContentedB Reflections on Human NatureC The Keys to AchievementD Never Too Late to Learn．第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（满分10分）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题．21.

题干说“你似乎心情很好。

故选D “shouldn’t have done本不应该做而现实做了。

”A选项must have done过去一定做过…；B选项should have done过去本应该做而现实未做；C选项无该表达形式4.The company is willing to the new technology if it can be shown to reduce production costs.A.look overB A“帝国大厦”，与complete之间为被动关系“被建成”，排除A选项和D选项。

句意：帝国大厦于1931年被建成，这个直到1954年才成为最高摩天大楼的建筑物激发了世界的想象力。

故选C。

A选项主动，完成；B选项被动，进行；D选项主动，进行6.Modern woman are energetic,ambitious,and most of all，persistenttheir goals.A.in pursuit ofB.in return forC.in touch withD.in contrast toB7.itA.B.C.D.A选项作主语或宾语；C选项作地点状语；D选项作主语8.Don’t be late for the9:00meeting because I am_____and have to catch the11:00train.A.on a limited budgetB.in high spiritsC.on a tight scheduleD.in deep doubt答案：C考点：介词短语辨析解析：句意：明天早上九点开会不要迟到，因为我__________并且要赶十一点的火车。

根据句意可以推断出横线部分应该是时间紧迫的意思，故选C，时间紧迫。

On a limited budget预算有限；in high spirits兴高采烈；in deep doubt 深感怀疑。

9.—The machine is working again!—Yes,it broke down yesterday,but it____.A.has been fixedB.is being fixedC.had been fixedD.would be fixed答案：A考点：时态语态解析：句意：——机器又在工作了！——是的，它昨天坏掉了，但是它_________。

首先根据machine和fix的关系，机器应该被维修，因此选择被动语态。

根据句意可知机器昨天坏了但是现在正在工作，可以推断这台机器已经被维修好了，因此选择A，被动语态的现在完成时。

is being fixed被动语态的现在进行时，表示正在被维修；had been fixed被动语态的过去完成时，表示在过去某个时间之前已经被修好了；would be fixed，被动语态的过去将来时，表示将要被修好。

根据主句时态是过去时，主句的宾语从句应是过去的某个时态可知，本题的时态应该是一般过去时；the middle-aged，the+形容词表示一类人是复数，一类人的80%依然应该是复数。

因此选择复数的一般过去时were。

12.My grandmother helped me believe that I could accomplish____I put my mind to.A.wheneverB.whateverC.whereverD.whichever答案：B考点：名词性从句解析：句意：我的奶奶帮助我相信，我能完成任何我专心做的事情。

首先该从句的位置属于accomplish的宾语，因此属于名词性从句中的宾语从句。

其次从句内I put my mind to缺少宾语，因此使用关系代词，而此关系代词是指事情而不是人，因此选择whatever,无论何事。

whenever无论何时；wherever无论在哪；whichever无论哪个。

13.The local government doesn’t have to sacrifice environmental protection____economic growth.A.to be promotedB.being promotedC.promotedD.to promote答案：D考点：非谓语动词解析：句意：当地政府没有必要为了推动经济增长而牺牲环境保护。

根据句意可知推动经济增长是牺牲环境保护的目的，另外当地政府和推动的关系应该是主动，因此选择不定式的主动形式作目的状语。

——_______。

他仍然在犹豫是否接受这份工作。

根据句意可知后者的回答是在赞同前者的描述，因此选择that’s it 就是这样。

Give it a try试试吧；it’s settled就这么定了;you’re kidding me你在开玩笑吧。
