高考英语三模试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）ABookstores are a traveller's best friend：they provide convenient shelter in bad weather，and they often host readings and other cultural events．Here is a look at world's six greatest bookstores．Adrian Harrington-since 1971．Rare books；rare first editions；leather bound sets and general antiquarian （古玩）．Address：64A Kensington Church Street，Kensington，London，England，U．K．Another Country-Kreuzberg，Berlin，Germany．Another Country is an English Language second hand bookshop which is mostly used as a library．They have about 20，000 books that you can buy or borrow．Some regular events are held at the shop，such as readings，cultural events，social evenings and film nights．Atlantis Books-Oía，Santorini，Greece．Atlantis Books is an independent bookshop on the island of Santorini，Greece，founded in 2004 by a group of friends from Cyprus，England，and the United States．Throughout the year it has hosted literary festivals，film screenings，book readings，and good old fashioned dance parties．Bart's Books-Ojai，California，U．S．A．"The World's Greatest Outdoor Bookstore"，a bookstore founded by Richard Bartinsdale in 1964．Shelves of books face the street，and regular customers are asked to drop coins into the door's coin box to pay for any books they take whenever the store is closed．10 Corso Como-Milan，Italy．Extensive selection of publication on art，architecture，design，graphics and fashion，along with a strong emphasis on photography．It was founded in 1990 in Milan，Italy，by Carla Sozzani．The Bookworm-A bookshop，library，bar，restaurant and event space，now with four divisions in three cities-Beijing，Suzhou and Chengdu．The interconnecting rooms with floor-to-ceiling books on every wall are light and airy in summer，yet warm and comfortable in winter．1.Which of the following bookstores has the longest history？______A.

To earn some money for the family．B. To collect manure for his crops．C. To get rid of the terrible smell．D. To set a good example to us．5.What can we infer about Dad's stew？______A. It is popular among the neighbors．B. It contains honey and vegetables．C. It looks very wonderful．D. It tastes quite delicious．6.What does the underlined word "offend" in the last paragraph mean？______A. To attract．B. To upset．C. To air．D. To shut．7.What can we learn about Dad form the text？______A. He is an experienced cook．B. He is a troublesome father．C. He has a positive attitude to life．D. He suffers a lot from his disability．CResearchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell．Recent studies have found，among other things，that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads．The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain．According to Conrad King，the researcher who carried out the review，"more than any other senses，the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings．This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter．" Smell，which dictates（决定）the unbelievable complexity of food tastes，has always beenthe least understood of our senses．Our noses are able to detect up to 10，000 distinct smells ．Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1，000 genes，which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome．Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense．These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1，000 olfactory （嗅觉）genes and to explain how our olfactory system works．According to one study in the research review，smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users．They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads．The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry，and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites．In contrast，the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers' impatience．Similarly，the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus．However，the way genes regulate smell differs from person to person．A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory genes which are switched on in some people and not in others．They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them．The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors．8.What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out？______A. The type of food smells．B. The logical part of human brain．C. The nature of human olfactory system．D. The relationship between food and feelings．9.Which of the following can help people concentrate？______A. Bread．B. Fast food．C. Pizza．D. Coffee．10.What do we know from the last paragraph？______A. Different people are sensitive to different smells．B. Every person has a different pattern of genes．C. Some people can recognize up to 50 smells．D. There are still some olfactory genes to be found out．11.What is the passage mainly about？______A. Logic and behavior．B. Smell and its influence．C. Sense ability and food tastes．D. Olfactory genes and its system．DThe world is filled with smart，talented，educated and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago，my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is，great talent is not enough．I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn．I heard the other day that less than5 percent of Americans earn more than﹩100，000 a year．A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially．It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，"They are one skill away from great wealth．"There is an old saying that goes，"Job means" just over broke "．And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence，most workers" live within their means"．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn．When I ask the classes I teach，"How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's？" almost all the students raise their hands．I then ask，"So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald's makes more money than you？" The answer is obvious：McDonald's is excellent at business systems．The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．12.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that ______ ．A. he has a sharp sense of hearingB. he is ready to help othersC. he is just one of the talented peopleD. he knows little about car repairing13.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by " ______ "．A. spend more than they can affordB. do in their own wayC. live in their own circleD. live within what they earn14.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author？______A. They lack financial intelligence．B. They don't work hard enough．C. They don't make full use of their talents．D. They have no specialized skills．15.The main purpose of the author is to tell us ______ ．A. how young people can find a satisfactory jobB. what schools should teach studentsC. how McDonald's makes much money．D. why so many talented people are poor二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）How to Stay Focused in a Noisy WorldBlock out time for uninterrupted work．Make sure you schedule important time for yourself where you can focus on your tasks in uninterrupted silence．(1) Think of this as scheduling a meeting with yourself and treat it the same as you would when scheduling a meeting with others．Turn technology from a distraction into a useful tool．(2) However，there are also some really cool apps that encourage you to be more productive and less distracted by your phone．Forrest is an app that rewards you each time you focus well，motivating you in a fun way and encourages you to leave your phone well alone．Schedule a distraction time．Just as important as scheduling focus time is scheduling distraction time．(3) More specifically，the most productive employees spent 52 minutes working followed by a17-minute break each time．This is down to the brain's ability to stay motivated--it just can't sustain（维持）long periods of focus and concentration．Practice mindfulness．Mindfulness trains your mind to identify thoughts that arise throughout your day．Mindfulness practice can be done at any time．(4) When reading，really take in every word or while out walking notice how your body feels and the details of your surroundings．Doing this on a regular basis will eventually train your mind when it comes to other areas where distracting thoughts pop up like a work task．Exercise regularly．Not only is exercise good for the body but it's also good for the brain．Physical exercise fires up the neurons in the brain making you more willing to concentrate．(5)A．It's difficult to focus on your work．B．We need to get rid of distractions around us．C．These days，many people feel controlled by their phones．D．A study found that regular breaks was the key to productivity．E．When you eat your food，notice the taste and how it looks and feels．F．Let people know that you won't respond unless it's absolutely necessary．G．This means it increases your ability to ignore distractions and get on with the task at hand ．16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.

school，China is to be the world's largest economy．So it's time to look beyond the traditional focus on French and German and get many more children learning Mandarin．"To strengthen his message，he quoted Nelson Mandela﹣the former president of South Africa who said"If you talk to a man in a language he understands that goes to his head；if you talk to him in his own language that goes to his heart．" Cameron said that a partnership between the British Council （英国文化协会） and Hanban will double the number of Chinese language assistants in the UK by 2020 and provide increased funding to schools of offering Mandarin as a language choice．In a development of the UK﹣China School Partnership programme，funding will also be provided for 60 headteachers to make study visits to China in 2020．In

and Arabic．Professor Dame Helen Wallace，the British Academy's foreign secretary，said，"a lack of qualified teachers could be a barrier to improve its popularity．" Laura Chan，one of the co﹣founders of a

is an important value．Your parents are the people who raised you，devoting time，energy and money to your development（36）No matter your age，there are 5ways to show respect．●Respect their belongings．One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents．For younger children，this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things．For grown children，respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time．Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation（侵犯） of personal boundaries．（37）And never borrow things without asking first．●Punc tuality．（38） Therefore，always be on time．For teenagers，showing up on time means coming home by curfew（宵禁）．Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events，or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment．Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children，no matter their age．●（39）Remembering birthdays，anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents．Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bakea cake or cookies．Most parents don't expect expensive gifts，but a handmade gift is always appreciated．A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect．●Be kind．Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect．Tell your parents you love them．Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption．Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say．Be patient with your parents and don't rush them．Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful．Acknowledge your parents'achievements．（40）A．Be a good listener．B．Celebrate with them．C．Lateness indicates a lack of respect．D．Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated．E．And they love you unconditionally

Here are some of the museum’s most moving moments.The Olympic ParkThe journey through the Olympic Museum begins in the Olympic Park, an 8,000-square-meter outdoor area in front of the museum overlooking Lake Geneva and theAlps. The park contains artwork and sculptures that show respect to the world of sport.The first Olympic symbolThe “Olympic Rings” flag was designed by Coubertin in 1913. The rings represent the five continents that participate in the Olympics: Africa, Asia,America,AustraliaandEurope. The six color1 s include at least one color1 that is represented on the flag of every country.The stadiumsThe stadiums that host the Olympic Games are as much of a celebration of design as the games are a celebration of sportsmanship. Guests can explore plans and models of Olympic stadiums’ past and present, including one of the games’ most attractive stadiums, the Bird’s Nest from Beijing 2008 Olympics.The Olympic medalsHave you ever wondered what an Olympic medal looks like? The Olympic Museum has a room that houses every bronze, silver, and gold medal from every Olympic Games dating back to the first modern Olympics of 1896. Each medal design is a unique representation of the year and location in which the games were held.1.Which moment do you see first when exploring the Olympic Museum?A.The Olympic Park.B.The first Olympic symbol.C.The stadiums.D.The Olympic medals.2.What do you know from The first Olympic symbol?A.The first modern Olympics took place inGreece.B.There are six color1 s on the flag of every country.C.Australia used to be the largest continent on earth.D.The “Olympic Rings” flag was created in 1913.3.What can you do in the section of The stadiums?A.Admire the view ofLake Geneva.B.Meet some famous designers.C.Enjoy the model of the Bird’s Nest.D.Talk with guests of honour.BCigarettes aren’t just harmful when they’re being smoked. Even when cigarette ends go out and are cold, new research has found they continue to give off harmful chemicals in the air. In the first 24 hours alone, scientists say a used cigarette end will produce 14 percent of the nicotine (尼古丁) that an actively burning cigarette would produce.While most of these chemicals are released within a day of being put out,an analysis for the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found the level of nicotine fell by just 50% five days later.“I was ly surprised,” since environmental engineer Dustin Poppendieck from the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). “The numbers are significant and could have important impacts when cigarette ends are dealt with indoors or in cars. While much attention has been paid to the health influence of first-hand, second-hand and now third-hand smoking, it is not the case when it comes to the actual cigarette end of the matter.”To measure emissions (排放) from this forgotten thing, Poppendieck and his team placed 2,100 cigarettes that were recently put out inside a special room. Once the ends weresealed away, the team measured eight chemicals commonly produced by cigarettes, four of which the FDA have their eye on for being harmful or potentially so.After setting the room’s temperature, the researchers tested how emissions changed under certain conditions. When the air temperature of the room was higher, for instance, they noticed the ends produced these chemicals at higher rates. This finding might discourage those who want to leave ashtrays (烟灰缸) out for days ata time, especially in the heat.4. What do the researchers say about cigarette ends?A They contain little nicotine.B. They produce no nicotine five days later.C. They give off nicotine for days.D. They create as much nicotine as burning cigarettes.5. What do Poppendieck’s words suggest?A. First-hand smoking does most harm.B. The findings are within his expectation.C. Cigarettes should be dealt with indoors.D. Health influence of cigarette ends is ignored.6. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to not cleaning ashtrays for days?A. Unclear.B. Disapproving.C. Unconcerned.D. Puzzled.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Used Cigarette Ends Release Harmful ChemicalsB. Cigarettes Are More Harmful While Being SmokedC. Research Found Reasons For Cigarette Ends’ HarmD. Cigarette Ends Produce More Chemicals in the HeatCIs homeschooling good or bad? That is a question that many parents ask themselves. In my opinion, homeschooled kids can give reliable answers.Kayla Murray, who lives inGreensboroNorth Carolina, started homeschooling almost eight years ago, after attending two local schools. “Homeschooling is school at home,” like the name says, but it’s not just that/ she says. “You're able to learn more and do more.”Having experienced learning at both school and home, Kayla says that she prefers the latter. “With homeschooling, I can do schoolwork in my pajamas, and no one cares,” she says, “you also have more chances. Earlier this year, my family and I were able to take a short vacation and go to an air show. My siblings and I get to take the day off for our birthdays. This year, I spent that time reading and playing the piano and guitar.”There are, however,drawbacksof being homeschooled, Kayla says, especially “the lack of people”. While she doesn't miss homework, al school, she did enjoy getting to see my friends every day.”Matthew Dimmette, also fromGreensboro, used to be a homeschooler. He now attends public high school. He says being homeschooled is quite different from going to public school. The differences depend on how you arc homeschooled and the things you do. “For me, it wasn't really different in terms of the classes but the school environment was a big change atter hearting at home. says Matthew.Talking about his homeschooling experience, Matthew says the best part of it was being able to learn what he wanted to. Yet the main disadvantage was that he couldn't do many experiments in homeschooling unlesstaking classes at different places. “My interest in science has been growing quickly in recent years, so I chose to go to public school,” he says.8. What does Kayla like about learning at home?A. She can spend her time more freely.B. She can always stay with her siblings.C. She can play the instruments she likes.D. She can celebrate her birthday at home.9. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Concerns.B. Reasons.C. Changes.D. Problem.10. Why did Matthew choose to go to public school?A. He wanted to make more friends.B. He wanted to do experiments in labs.C. He wanted to take all kinds of classesD.He wanted to experience the school environment11. What in the authors attitude cowards homeschooling?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Uninterested.D. Unclear.DChinese archaeologists（考古学家）announced on Saturday that some new major discoveries have been made at the Sanxingdui Ruins site in Southwest China, helping uncover another start of the Chinese civilization.Archaeologists have found six new sacrificial pits（祭祀坑）and unearthed more than 500 treasures dating back 3,000 years at the Sanxingdui Ruins in Sichuan Province. So far, archaeologists have unearthed masses of important cultural items from four of the pits, including pieces of gold masks, gold foil, bronze（青铜）masks, bronze trees and large numbers of ivories. The rest of the newly discovered pits arc still being dug up.“Surprisingly, we have unearthed some never — heard — of — before bronze items," said Lei Yu, from the Sichuan Archaeology Research Institute. 'Tor instance, some large and well-made bronze items have strange-looking dragon or cow designs on them.”In another major discovery, relics of silk products were found for the first time at Sanxingdui, which shows “the ancient Shu Kingdom was one of the important starts of silk in ancient China" according to Tang Fei, head of the digging team.The new pits sit next to two sacrificial pits discovered in 1986, with areas ranging between 3o square meters and 19 square meters. Together they form an area in which people of the ancient Shu civilization held ceremonies to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and their forefathers, and prayed for good luck and peace.The Sanxingdui Ruins is regarded as one of the greatest archaeological finds of mankind in the 20th century. The site was accidentally discovered by a farmer in the 1920s. The ruins are located in the city ofGuanghan, about60 kilometers fromChengduand are believed to be the relics of theShuKingdom.12. What can we learn from the text?A. Totally there are 500 treasures unearthed.B. Six new sacrificial pits are under repair.C. The unearthed treasures date from 3000 years ago.D. There are six sacrificial pits at Sanxingdui.13. What does the discovery of the relics of silk products mean?A. Chinese civilization was widely influential.B.AncientShuKingdomwas also the home of silk.C. Chinese silk has a much longer history than known.D.ShuKingdombelonged toChinasince ancient times.14. What was the main function of the sacrificial pits?A. To celebrate festivals.B. To store valuable items.C. To bury important figures.D. To hold sacrifice ceremonies.15. Who first discovered the Sanxingdui Ruins?A. A farmer.B. Lei YuC. Tang Fei.D. Archaeologists.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

the world to know exactly where she's been during her worldwide vacation in aspecial way．The traveler，who was born with a bone disease，had her right leg amputated（截肢）at the age of four．Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on，she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life．To spread that message，Gallagher has taken to social media，where she shares photos of her travels across the globe，but instead of simply using a geotag，she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture．Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent，which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam，relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona，posing with a waffle in Brussels，taking spectacular pictures in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest，all with the wellknown locations written on her artificial leg．"I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it．One day I had a sudden thought to get a

humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals．The more we come into contact with wild animals，the more we risk a so﹣called disease"spillover" from animals to humans．"As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment，humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly，" said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico．Fair argues that by shifting animal habitats，climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent．"Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change，" Fair said．Scientists，including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair's team at Los Alamos，are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases．It's early days for this kind of research，but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak．Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards（果园）in Malaysia to find food．Those bats，a common disease reservoir，then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s．"We're going by the past data to really predict what's going to happen in the future，" Fair said，"And so，anytime you increase that wildlife﹣human interface，that's sort of an emerging disease hot spot．And so，that's just increasing as we go forward．"Jeffrey Shaman，head of the climate and health program at Columbia University's public health school，argues we don't yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally．For example，mosquitoes carry disease that affects millions of people across the world every year．As their habitats expand in some parts of the world，they might contract diseases elsewhere．Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up．（1）How does climate change affect the spread of disease according to Fair？A．By breaking animals' habits．B．By increasing animals' varieties．C．By promoting animals' breeding．D．By changing animals' living environment．（2）What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3？A．Explaining the influence of Nipah virus．B．Proving the harm of bats to human beings．C．Showing the effects of climate change on disease．D．Presenting scientists' early study about the cause of disease．（3）What can we infer from Fair's words in paragraph 4？A．Humans should give up studying animals．B．Past data can solve the problems in the future．C．Disease hot spots will disappear if animals die out．D．Frequent contact with animals can cause disease outbreaks．（4）What could be the best title for the text？A．Climate Change and Disease SpilloverB．Animals' Interaction with HumansD．Early Studies about Extreme WeatherC．Scientists' Prediction for Disease Outbreaks14．（8分）New App Helps People Remember FacesLarge gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming．Pressure to learn people's names only adds to the stress．A new facial﹣recognition app could come to the rescue，but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution．The app，called SocialRecall，connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition，potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions．"It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody，" says Barry Sandrew，who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1，000 people．After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer，the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media．At the event，the app is active within a previously defined geographical area．When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face，the app identifies the individual，displays the person's name，and links to his or her social media profile．To protect privacy，it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate．And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users' data after an event．Ann Cavoukian，a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app's creators for these protective measures．She cautions，however，that when people choose to share their personal information with the app，they should know that "there may be unintendedconsequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you．"The start﹣up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia，or "face blindness，" a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met．To use this app，a person first acquires an image of someone's face，from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph，and then tags it with a name．When the camera spots that same face in real life，the previously entered information is displayed．The collected data are stored only on a user's phone，according to the team behind the app．（1）SocialRecall is used to．A．take photosB．identify peopleC．organize eventsD．make friends（2）Paragraph 3 is mainly about．A．how the app worksB．how the app was createdC．what makes the app popularD．what people can do with the app（3）SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by．A．giving names to the photos kept in their smartphonesB．collecting information previously entered in the phoneC．providing the information of a person when they first meetD．showing the person's information when it spots a stored face（4）What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage？A．It may put people's privacy at risk．B．It has caused unintended consequences．C．It can prevent some communication disorders．D．It is praised by users for

actively try hard to improve these relationships and build quality relationships with others．Those connections and relationships that we build and that we attempt to develop，create experiences in our lives．Some experiences will be poor，but it is possible for us to create meaningful experiences﹣experiences that allow us to just be．Studies show that when we create meaningful experiences，we allow ourselves time to relax，to build connections，and to become our best selves．（2）If we want to create meaningful experiences，we need to learn how to create these moments in our lives．Instead of taking many classes and workshops to teach us how to build connections with others，we should experience be SHOPs，which means we learn by being，by observing，and by becoming．（3）It helps define us and motivates us to do good，to step outside of our comfort zone，and to be better．A few of these values that we need to create meaningful experiences include：●Compassion（同情）：Compassion has been thoroughly studied and proven to be a naturalhuman response．（4）When you are compassionate，you don't have to think twice about helping others．●Gratitude：Showing sincere appreciation to others helps establish strong feelings of gratitude，and build strong connections．You should express appreciation for all the things in your life and make gratefulness just a part of who you are．●Willingness to learn：（5）Many individuals will find themselves stuck in their ownworld and never take a step outside of their comfort zones．When we have that desire to learn，to explore，and our curiosity is continually peaked，then we are more likely to have these meaningful experiences．Remember，true happiness，and meaningful experiences are not things you can learn from a series of worksheets and lectures．It is about being．A．There is so much in the world around us．B．"To be" requires key values that shape us．C．It means service，kindness and love for others．D．Within the communities，you can work on developing these values．E．Working with others will help you experience many aspects of life．F．Creating these experiences is a vital step in the process to achieve full happiness．G．They lay stress on the relationships with their family，friends ，colleagues and even strangers．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节完形填空（共1小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）16．（30分）When I was a kid，my parents sent me to a summer camp in New Hampshire．At the camp we

from the East or the West，social culture and peer pressure have played an important role in one's decision about whether or not to wear a mask．That's because human beings are social creatures who take

The five-bedroom house provides 24-hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs, including medical support. Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible, depending on each resident’s requirements.Scott and Daniel, who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, require 24-hour support in all activities of daily living. Before they moved to the house, they lived with their family. Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain(负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.“We were heavyhearted,” says Scott, who is planning to write a book about his life experiences. “But our parents now have a lot moretime for themselves. We now manage ourselves on a day-to-day basis.”Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener, taking care of his own vegetable garden. The men share the house with one other young man, and they go to rugby league games, meeting up with friends.Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah. Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities (设施) has not been without its challenges.“It is an unconventional model of care,” Lee says. “The home is Scott and Daniel’s home, however it is also a workplace for their support staff. Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”“We have experienced a bit of a learning phase over the last twelve months. However, by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”4. What do we know about the house Scott and Daniel live in now?A. It was built by their parents.B. It can accommodate four residents.C. It belongs to a governmental project.D.

To check on their breathing.D. They were under emotional pressure.6. How did Scott feel while living with his parents?A. A bit guilty.B. Quite happy.C. Very proud.D. Slightly angry.7. What was a challenge while setting up the facilities?A. Lack of fund.B. No workplace.C. Inexperienced staff members.D. Satisfying both staff and residents’ needs.CEarthquake can disrupt whales’ hunting for food for up to a year,according to a new study.On November 14, 2016, the Kaikoura earthquake struck New Zealand’s South Island, causing a destructive tsunami. Under the surface, the earthquake caused strong currents that swept away and mostly killed off diverse ecosystems of creatures living along the Kaikoura underwater canyon.As a result, whales had to dive deeper and longer to find food—“a major shift” in their behavior, saysco-author Liz Slooten, a marine biologist at the University of Otago in New Zealand.The impact earthquakes have on land animals has been well documented, but scientists know ly little about what happens underwater. Such research is important for government agencies, which may need to take recent earthquakes into consideration when considering fishing quotas（限额）, notes Rochelle Constantine, a marine mammal ecologist at the University of Auckland.The canyon’s upper reaches are rich in creatures, supplying food for the fish that make up the whales’ diet. So when these smaller life forms were washed away, it had “severe consequences for the community around there”, says study co-author Will Rayment. “That effect flowed all the way through the food chain.”As part of their ongoing study, the scientists were tracking 42 individual whales. After the earthquake, in all, the team managed to record data on 40 whales, showing that the abundance of whales in the general area didn’t change after the earthquake. However, the whales changed how they used their habitat.A year after the earthquake, the researchers observed the whales returning to their previous surface-breathing intervals. This could have been because the communities of animals that make up the whales’ food began to recover. “It gives you an idea of how resilient（有复原力的）these deep-sea communities are,” says Rayment.But he and his colleagues will continue long-term monitoring to see if there are effects they missed. Whale activity in the area had already been declining, though it’s unknown whether it is due to natural changes in food abundance, whale-watching tourism, fishing, or warming ocean temperatures. “There is something going on in Kaikoura,” says Rayment.8. What happened after the Kaikoura earthquake in the Kaikoura canyon?A. Several destructive tsunamis struck the area.B. Whales had to swim to other oceans to find food.C. Nearly all marine creatures in Kaikoura were killed off.D. Strong currents washed away many smaller creatures.9. Which is one of the findings of the study?A. Earthquakes can make it easier for whales to find food.B. The whales changed their habitat after the earthquake.C. It usually takes whales a year to adapt to their new diet.D. The number of whales in the area dropped sharply after the quake.10. What does Rochelle Constantine think of the study?A. It can help government agencies to make some decisions about fishing.B. It can help government agencies to solve problems in the fishing industry.C. It is a breakthrough in research on what happens underwater after an earthquake.D. It offers a detailed description of the impact earthquake have on marine mammals.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Something is affecting the whale activity in Kaikoura.B. Fishing quotas have been increasing in recent years.C. The team missed some effects in the research process.D. The scientists will continue studying earthquakes.DIs homeschooling good or bad? That is a question that many parents ask themselves. In my opinion, homeschooled kids can give reliable answers.Kayla Murray, who lives inGreensboroNorth Carolina, started homeschooling almost eight years ago, after attending two local schools. “Homeschooling is school at home,” like the name says, but it’s not just that/ she says. “You're able to learn more and do more.”Having experienced learning at both school and home, Kayla says that she prefers the latter. “With homeschooling, I can do schoolwork in my pajamas, and no one cares,” she says, “you also have more chances. Earlier this year, my family and I were able to take a short vacation and go to an air show. My siblings and I get to take the day off for our birthdays. This year, I spent that time reading and playing the piano and guitar.”There are, however,drawbacksof being homeschooled, Kayla says, especially “the lack of people”. While she doesn't miss homework, al school, she did enjoy getting to see my friends every day.”Matthew Dimmette, also fromGreensboro, used to be a homeschooler. He now attends public high school. He says being homeschooled is quite different from going to public school. The differences depend on how you arc homeschooled and the things you do. “For me, it wasn't really different in terms of the classes but the school environment was a big change atter hearting at home. says Matthew.Talking about his homeschooling experience, Matthew says the best part of it was being able to learn what he wanted to. Yet the main disadvantage was that he couldn't do many experiments in homeschooling unless taking classes at different places. “My interest in science has been growing quickly in recent years, so I chose to go to public school,” he says.12. What does Kayla like about learning at home?A. She can spend her time more freely.B. She can always stay with her siblings.C. She can play the instruments she likes.D. She can celebrate her birthday at home.13. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Concerns.B. Reasons.C. Changes.D. Problem.14. Why did Matthew choose to go to public school?A. He wanted to make more friends.B. He wanted to do experiments in labs.C. He wanted to take all kinds of classesD.He wanted to experience the school environment15. What in the authors attitude cowards homeschooling?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Uninterested.D.

AMy First Day of SchoolFear started taking over, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled(登记)in the local high school in my new town.I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered. “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s still fourth period.”“But the bell just rang,” I said.Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one, she said, “That is the lunch bell, young man.”I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t o bad.21.

That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eyes.When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply tobake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent，“Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel _forlorn_. Instead，we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”24. What did the bakery store workers do after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey?A. They volunteered to make bread for their community.B. They managed to live by selling more bread in the store.C.

The author preferred to write stories about people facing disasters.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Popular Mexican Bakery Chain in HoustonB.

Bake Bread to Make a Difference in Face of Hurricane HarveyCJohn George, 60, remembers that he lived a wonderful life in the Detroit neighborhood where he grew up. “We knew all our neighbors.” George told Detroit's Metro Times. “On Christmas Eve, we'd all go to midnight Mass, and there'd be 300 people in our house at one o’clock t o about five in the morning. The folks were just really good, hardworking people. ”By the'80s, however, the old neighborhood changed. Due in part to economic downturns and drug abuse, well -kept homes had been abandoned and kindly neighbors had fled to the suburbs(郊区). But not George. “Living in any city, it’s like being in a relationship,” he told Reader’s Digest. “Some days are better than others. But it was my home. And when I saw it becoming worse, I had two choices: I could leave, or I could stay and fight. I chose the latter.”When the abandoned home behind his turned into a worn-out place, the father of two grabbed some boards and nails and began boarding up the house. After two neighbors stopped to ask what he was doing, they decided to help, with great results.That's how it all got started. In the 30 years since that first home rescue, an army of approximately 182,000 volunteers, along with private donors, has helped George pull down around 300 abandoned homes, mainly in die poorer Northwest area of Detroit. They've also secured 400 - some homes by boarding them up. They've painted and repaired nearly 900 homes and built over 100 from scratch. According to Forbes, more than 1,000 Detroiters have been housed as a result of their work.And there's Halloween. In Detroit, October 30 was known as Devil's Night, a period when all hell break loose in the form of crime and vandalism (破坏公物). In response, George created a citizens'patrol(巡逻)that would take to the streets, keeping an eye on illegal behavior. He named it Angels' Night What began with 12 neighbors on patrol in 1990 has grown to more than 60,000 citywide.George's inspired ideas have not gone unnoticed by the city he loves. Others are buying into it. There'sa trend of younger homeowners coming in.28. What was George’s home city Detroit like before the ’80s?A. Neighbors were nice and got along very well.B. People in the suburbs led a wonderful life.C. Economy declined because of drug abuse.D. Many homes were abandoned and people lied.29. What did George decide to do after his neighborhood changed?A. Move to the suburbs.B. Leave his hometown.C. Join his neighbors to help.D. Stay and fight to save his city.30. What happened as a result of George and other volunteers' hard work?A. More people moved into Detroit.B. Almost all Detroiters were housed.C. Over 100 homes were newly built.D. There was no illegal behavior any more.31. What does the story mainly intend to toll us?A. Great minds think alike.B. Two heads are better than one.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. Little people can make a big difference.DBoth honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist of Stanford University, says, “Ants aren’t smart. Ant colonies are.” The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity of learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send message to each other by means of a “dance”. Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new hoe for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of “sameness” and “difference” to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent America research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants. They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complexactions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.32. What do ants and bees have in common?A. They make use of collective intelligence.B. They live in similar-sized colonies.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D. They use the same method to communicate with each other.33. What docs the speed of a bee’s dance indicate?A. The distance to a neighboring colony.B. The quality of a new colony location.C. The discovery of a new food source.D. The direction to a potential food source.34. In paragraph 3, how docs the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning?A. By using statistics.B. By explaining reason.C. By presenting study findings.D. By stating opinions.35. What does the un derlined part “foraging skills” refer to in the third Paragraph?A. The skills of communicating.B. The skills of sacking food.C. The skills of leaning.D. The skills of finding a new home.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
英语_2020年宁夏某校高考英语一模试卷含答案 (3)
2020年宁夏某校高考英语一模试卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．（1）What can we listen to on You Must Remember This？________A Inspiring stories．B Histories of Hollywood．C Politicalscandals． D English Shows．．（2）Who is known as an English teacher according to the text？________A Leon Neyfakh．B Woodward．C Bernstein．D AJ Hoge．．（3）Which magazine is the text probably taken from？________A Science．B Travelling．C Business review．D Reader'sdigest．．2. When I watched the film "The Farewell" recently, I found it not only reminded me of my own family's great lie, but it also reopened old wounds．Its main characters tell lies that flow from their mouths smoothly． Billi, a Chinese﹣American artist in New York, and her grandmother in China, tell lies to each other on the phone． Billi, in cold wind, tells her grandma that she's wearing a hat． She's not． Her grandma says she's visiting her sister, while she's actually ill in hospital． They're lying toavoid worrying each other, but in fact the grandma has lung cancer． The family know it but won't tell her for fear that anxiety over the diagnosis （诊断） could kill her before the cancer．When I was a teenager girl, my parents, both immigrants, got divorced． We never had a discussion about how things would change． We didn't tell anyone． Instead, we pretended as if nothing had happened． My father did not run away; he slept in a separate room． In the presence of relatives, we acted as a close family． I was puzzled why we insisted on creating the illusion（假象） that everything was O．K．．I asked a professor of multicultural psychology． "Asians tend to have indirect communication, " he said, "In indirect communication, what's not said is more important than what is said． Eastern philosophy emphasizes balance and harmony, and indirect communication minimizes conflict． So some Asian cultures value the ability to understand indirect messages．"In the film, the family members show their love for grandma by keeping secret about her condition． Similarly, perhaps my parents intended to save face and preserve harmony． As an Asian﹣American, maybe all I'll ever have is a secondhand understanding, and that's the best I can do．（1）Why does Billi's grandma tell lies to her according to Paragraph 2？________A Because she's afraid of the diagnosis．B Because she knows she has lung cancer．C Because she doesn't want Billi to worry．D Because she has been usedto telling lies．．（2）What did the author's parents do after they got divorced？________A They left their home．B They kept secret in public．C They had a discussion．D They asked relatives for help．．（3）How did the author feel about her parents' behavior when she was a teenager？________A Confused．B Skeptical．C Unconcerned．D Annoyed．．（4）According to the psychology professor， what do Asian cultures attach importance to？________A Severe conflicts．B Ability of showing love．C Balance andharmony． D Direct communication．3. Sleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person's wellbeing． Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity （being very overweight）, high blood sugar levels, and heart disease． Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance．Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class． Instead, the professor hoped the wrist﹣wormdevices, which track a person's physical activity, would show a connection between exerciseand academic achievement．While Gross's data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising． As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight﹣line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course's 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam．Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test． Instead, it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most．The time students went to bed each night was similarly important． Those who went to bed in early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher﹣performing student． "When you go to bed matters, " Gross says, "If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same． But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours． So, quantity isn't everything．"Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students' grades． The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep． Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes．Who knew getting A's just required some extra ZZZ's?（1）Based on his original objectives， which best describes Professor Gross's research findings？________A Accidental．B Complete．C Convincing．D Doubtful．．（2）Who were the people taking part in the study？________A Middle school chemistry students．B Volunteers from differentuniversities． C Professor Gross's own students． D University student athletes．．（3）How did Professor Gross's team measure academic performance？________A Making the students wear a special watch．B Using students' university entrance test results．C Giving the students regular after class quizzes．D Using the students' normal test and quiz grades．．（4）Based on the study's findings， who is likely to perform best academically．________A A person who has a good night's sleep the night before an important test．B A person whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p．m． and 12 p．m．C A person who sleeps from 11 p．m． to 6 a．m． each day．D A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night．4. Can I talk about salary at work? In a word: yes． As HR company Insperity put it in a recent blog post: Can your employees discuss their salaries or wages with their co﹣workers? Yes． Even if you have a company policy against it? Yes．The freedom to discuss your salary at work is a protected right under federal labor law． The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 protects your right to discuss the conditionsof your employment, including issues related to safety and pay, even when you're not protected by a union．Talking about salary with colleagues can be uncomfortable, since there's such a ________ about discussing money matters, but it's an important step towards achieving equal pay for equal work． One barrier, however, stems from how we think of our own financial worth． Too many people I talk to wrongly consider their salary a reflection of their worthiness, a statement about their skills, experience, or value． At the end of the day, if we can all separate our self﹣worth from our salaries a bit more, it'll become easier to talk frankly with our colleagues．Asking about money outright can be tough, so one trick I've picked up along the way is to ask for your colleagues to confirm or deny． For instance, you might volunteer your salary first and ask "Does that sound about right to you? " by way of comparison． Or, let's say you're interviewing for a promotion to become a manager． You might ask a fellow manager about the kind of salary you should expect by saying, "I'm seeing salaries for this kind of position ranging from ﹩65, 000 to ﹩70, 000﹣does that seem accurate to you? " This way, even if your colleague isn't comfortable sharing their salary outright, they can help you identify if your expectations are on point or way off．（1）What makes co﹣workers uncomfortable to talk about salaries？________A The safety issue．B The federal labor law．C The wrong idea about salaries．D The reflection of their worthiness．．（2）What does "taboo" underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to？________A A prohibited practice．B A religious belief．C A general agreement．D A social custom．．（3）What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4？________A One of my interview experiences．B My way of asking about money．C The method of raising questions．D An example of getting promoted．．（4）What can be the best title for the text？________A How to Discuss Salaries at WorkB Ways of Talking about SalariesC Do Salaries Stand for Self﹣worth？D Can Salaries Be Talked about at Work？．第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5. The older your parents get， the less stable they are on their feet， so you need to make sure that their home is as easy to walk around as possible． One of the most important rooms that needs to be accessible is the bathroom．（1）_______ In this article， we are going to give you some tips on how you can make your bathroom more accessible．One of the best ways to make your bathroom more accessible is to fix some rails or handles．（2）_______Rails can also be added near the shower and in other places in the bathroom to make the whole room a lot more accessible．It is hard to predict how much your parents are going to be able to walk when they are older，so you need to make sure that you are thinking about the future．（3）_______ If they needto use a wheelchair then they will find that with small entrances， they won't be able to get the wheelchair through．（4）_______ This is because as they get older， their eyesight can start to worsen and sothey need a little more light to be able to see things． Think about fixing some overhead lighting as well as lights beside important things in the bathroom． This will help to prevent any sort of trips or falls and they will be able to feel a lot safer when they are using your bathroom in the future．Are you planning on making your parents' home a lot more accessible in order to prepare for the future？（5）_______第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）第一节完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．6.

Anytime’s marketing had worked –household name before it’d even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read,“What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly youwanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service.And their reviews were glowing.Within weeks, Anytimehad become a part of daily life.Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was muchcheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was.He tried to find out who owned the company, but itwas registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public.He did find someinteresting facts, though.Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble.Agovernment official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news storiessuddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest.The head of another company taking Anytime to court diedin a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposingor criticising Anytime.By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples.Something was definitely wrong.Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information andlooking through newspaper records.After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleepat his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stotrouble.” Chris smiled.He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.28.What

become so much easier with advancing technology.Tasks that oncerequired a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on yourscreen, and you’re connected.But

the beginning.“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office managerfrom White Plains, New York.But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terribleone-word message —“K.”“At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few where.You’re not that busy.”There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to expresstheir distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James professor of communication a Virginia Tech.In the same way that generations and small groups of friendshave their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings thathave their own unique set of routine.But not everyone gets the point.Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguousclues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easilyunderstand.“As soon as people aren’t tal king face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness ofly fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up athe body language,” Ivory said, “People immediatefeeling in seconds.“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned.“What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”32.What can you infer about Mark from Paragraph 2?A.He is a businessman with a bad temper.B.He complains about social manners.- word messages.C.He can’t bear
