浙江省部分地区2021届高三5月英语试卷精选汇编阅读理解专题浙江省温州市2021届普通高中5月高考适应性测试（三模）英语试卷第一节（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
AWhen you hear the name Leonardo da Vinci, what comes to mind? Maybe his paintings, Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Maybe it's his flying machine invention. When I think of this great man, I think of the term “Renaissance Man”. Why? The term “Renaissance Man” comes from fifteenth-century Italy and refers to the idea of a person with knowledge and skills in a number of different areas. Perhaps, no single individual xkw defines the idea of a Renaissance man better than Leonardo da Vinci-an artist, scientist, architect, engineer and inventor.Leonardo da Vinci will most likely go down in history for his famous works as an artist. But,did you know that he spent a significant amount of time working on his endeavors in science and technology? Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most productive inventors in history. Some of his most famous inventions are the flying machine, the parachute and the revolving bridge. Leonardo has also been given credit by historians for many more inventions.Once in the courtyard of Senor Ludovico, Leonardo da Vinci constantly invented various “labour-saving devices” for use in the kitchen. At the same tim e, he began to keep notebooks. The funny thing was that most of the drawings found there, which for several hundred years were considered by researchers to be mechanisms for military (军事）operations, in fact, turned out to be quite peaceful meat grinders, dishwashers, mechanical devices for cracking nuts. The restless Leonardo invented the manual garlic press, which has remained virtually unchanged to our day, a foot-operated napkin dryer, an egg cutter, and many other useful things.But his most important discovery is the invention of spaghetti. Of course, pasta (意大利面食）has existed in Italy since ancient time. But it was a hard and very broad substance, like a heavy lump of lasagna (面块）. Leonardo changed the shape of the pasta, making a machine that cut it into long thin strips, which after boiling turned into spaghetti.21. Leonardo da Vinci is mentioned as “Renaissance Man” for his _A. individual ideasB. diverse talentsC. representative worksD. birth time and place22. What is known about his inventions in the courtyard of Senor Ludovico?A. They were practical for everyday use.B. They reached record high at that time.C. They have remained unchanged to our day.D. They were intended for military operations.23. In what way did Leonardo da Vinci change pasta?A. Taste.B. Color.C. Fragrance.D. Shape.BFractional ownership is a percentage ownership of a specific asset (资产）. It has often been used to share the ownership of expensive assets such as expensive boats, private planes and so on. When the value of the asset increases, the ownership shares do as well. Co-owners also share equally the costs carried by the asset. Most recently, the same concept of fractional ownership was applied to art as well. The logic is the same. Multiple people own one artwork and share the benefits and the costs of the asset. Galleries and artists, instead of selling one artwork to one person, they can sell it to more than 1000 art lovers.Co-ownership of art gives the possibility to everyone to participate in the art market. The potential market for artworks is suddenly way bigger. Only a few people can afford artworks that cost more than £100,000. But everyone can afford to buy some shares priced at £10 each. On top of this, all co-owners share the costs involved with the acquisition of an artwork. For art lovers that are just starting to collect art for investment (投资）reasons, co-ownership of art can be a great tool to start learning and understanding the market without risking too much capital. For big collectors instead, sharing the ownership of an artwork is an easy way to diversify their portfolio (投资组合）without having the burden of managing the asset.For many years only wealthy people could afford to buy expensive artworks. Because of this, most artworks are hidden in private collections and dark storages since decades where the public has no access to. And, if we think that art is supposed to deliver important messages and topics and is the representation of ourpast and present, it seems incredible that art has become something that few people can fully enjoy. Fractional ownership of art, by giving everyone the possibility to co-own art, has the power to greatly change this. Suddenly, art becomes an asset available to everyone and, by being more accessible, it starts to attract way more people.24.Which of the following is a kind of fractional ownership?A. A wealthy businessman owns a private ship.B. A museum event is attended by 1000 art lovers.C. Galleries and artists sold one artwork to one person.D. 10 friends bought a house priced at S10,000 together.25.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The potential market for artworks.B. The source of capital for investment.C. The benefit of fractional ownership.D. The development of fractional ownership.26.What might the author agree to?A. Art contributes greatly to social economy.B. Co-ownership of art benefits the general public.C. Only wealthy people could afford expensive artworks.D. Fractional ownership is a way to invest without risk.CThe public nowadays has a misunderstanding of forest fires, believing that fires should be kept out of every type of forest. Many of us can recall Smoky the Bear's famous warning: “Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires”. However, that's not always the case. Under th e right conditions, and when conducted safely, fire can create many environmental benefits as well as help prevent larger, uncontrollable wildfires.After a forest fire, many wildlife species will move into recently burned areas to feed on these newly available foods. Some reptiles and amphibians such as the pine (松树）snake prefer forests frequently burned by fire. As Herbert Stoddard put it, “One of the most harmful things modern man has done to birds has been his attempt to exclude fire from fire-type pine forests. Within a few years most forests choke up with bushes, lose their prairie-like vegetation (草原般植被）and can no longer support birds dependent on periodic burning for their food supply and proper cover.”If you are asked to picture the forest floor, what do you see? Pine needles, cones, leaves, branches might come to mind-all sources of fuel. If these fuel sources build up without any type of removal, the 'fuel load' can lead to fires catastrophic to forests and people alike. In contrast, prescribed fire can be used by forest professionals every couple of years to keep forest fuels at an appropriate and manageable level. They can also minimize the spread of pest insects and disease and remove unwanted tree and plant species. Plus, they can create and maintain important wildlife habitats rich in grasses and promote the growth of trees, wildflowers and other various plants.Many organizations and agencies work to promote fire on the landscape when and where appropriate. Smokey Bear even has an updated wa rning: “Only You can Prevent Wildfires,” as the Forest Service has over the last few decades developed policies and procedures to include prescribed fire as a management tool, as well as continuing their work to prevent and fight wildfires.27.Why did the author mention Smoky the Bear's warning?A. To introduce the topic of the passage.B. To clarify a misunderstood concept.C. To show the significance of fire prevention.D. To raise people's awareness of forest protection.28. What can benefit birds according to Herbert Stoddard?A. Forest bushes.B. Fuel sources.C. Pine forests.D. Periodic burning.29. What is the purpose of prescribed fire?A. To put out wildfires.B. To keep the forest balance.C. To remove tree and plant species.D. To keep the fuel rich in the forest.30. What might be the best title for the passage?A. One Match Can Start A Forest FireB. Where There Is Smoke There Is A FireC. Not All Forest Fires Are Created EqualD. Why Not Keep The Forest Fire Burning21-23BAD 24-26DCB 27-30ADBC浙江省嵊州市2021届5月高考科目适应性考试（二模）英语试题第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Business meetings are a necessary part of any organization where people work collectively to accomplish a goal. But badly managed, meetings can be unproductive, boring and feel like a complete waste of time. In a recent survey conducted by governance technology firm e-Share, it was found that the average UK employee spends over 10 hours weekly preparing for and attendingmeetings-approximately 50% of which they consider unnecessary.31It's very likely for an AI (Artificial Intelligence) to be able to recognize when one person is hijacking a meeting, or if a discussion keeps returning to a single issue. If no new points are made after a while, the AI could suggest wrapping up. “If AI can do most of the hard routine work during meetings, that leaves more space for humans to think about strategy and vision,” believes Niki at the Big Innovation Center in AI. 32 The city of Osaka in Japan started using an AI as a minute taker to transcribe and summarize the 450 annual cabinet (内阁）meetings. It has divided the time needed to produce summaries and cut staff overtime.33 If a meeting with irrelevant subject matter is called, or if it's an inconvenient time, an AI could be used to decide who should attend the meeting and when it should be, says Elise Keith from aUS-based meeting management platform.One Stockholm company starts up Mentimeter (人机互动）．34 Using the software, participants can make open-ended responses, submit comments or vote in multiple-choice quizzes. “This has fundamentally changed the dynamics of a presentation," says Austin Broad from financial services firm AFH Wealth Management.While tools that can create agendas, send meeting invitations, distribute the minutes, and keep track of action items should improve effectiveness, they are still in development. 35A. This seems to be true.B. But AI isn't quite there yet.C. AI can also help with the matter of attendance.D. With AI, it will be easy for companies to be flexible.E. It allows meeting attendees to give feedback about a discussion.F. Let's hope that if they do arrive, they will meet our expectations.G. However, there are theories that technology, like AI, could improve things.31-35GACEF浙江省嵊州市2021届5月高考科目适应性考试（二模）英语试题第二节（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。

Parents Should Follow Kids' InterestsCWomen have put up with jibes(嘲笑) about their driving for decades. Now a report claims to have finally put an end to the debate ----with conclusive(确凿的) evidence that women really are better drivers than men.Men are four times more likely to end up in court for motoring crimes and twice as likely to make insurance claims, it reveals. This is reflected in the fact that men typically pay £92 a year more than women for their insurance.The average premium(保险费) for women is £701, with men paying £793, according to comparison website , which published the report.Official figures reveal that 585.000 drivers in England were taken to court last year for motoring offences. Just under eight in ten of those were men---outnumbering women by almost four to one. Some 23 percent of these offences were men caught speeding---- significantly higher than women at 7 percent. Men also outweighed women by five to one when it came todrink-driving offences and were twice as likely to be driving without either tax or insurance as women.And male drivers cost insurers more when it comes to claims payouts, suggesting they have been in more accidents than women. In 2017, two out of three insurance claims were made by men, of which 17 percent were fault claims. In comparison, only one in three claims last year came from women ----9 percent of which were at fault.And not only do men make more claims, but they tend to be a little more expensive. They claimed £3,271 per payout on average, while typical payouts for women were slightly cheaper at £3,121. This could be down to the fact that men often own more expensive cars, with an average value of £8,654. Women, however, are driving around in cars with a value of £7,090.8. How many women drivers were taken to court last year in England?A.585.000.B.468.000.C.117.000.D.351，000.9. How many times do men outweigh women as to drink-driving offences?A. Four times.B.

Men often own more expensive cars.D. Men often repair their cars using claims.DSleeping badly or working night shifts could be making you fat, weak and more likely to become diabetic. A study has revealed short or restless sleep changes the way people's DNA works and makes the body more dedicated to storing fat.Muscles get smaller and fat stores begin to rise when people lose as little as one night's sleep, the experts find. Although midnight snacks or being too tired to exercise could be blamed for tired people getting fatter, there may now be a more scientific reason. Researchers have linked losing sleep to weight gain in the past but have found it difficult to explain一now they reveal it could be linked to the body clock. And a tired body also becomes less able to handle sugar in the blood which raises the risk of someone developing type 2 diabetes（二型糖尿病）.Sleep researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden did a study on 15 people who they tested after a full night's sleep and after a sleepless night. They took fat and muscle tissue samples and collected blood from the healthy weight participants and found the way their DNA worked had changed. The researchers say their findings are important because high levels of body fat increase the risk of the world's biggest causes of death: cancer, heart diseases and strokes. People's sensitivity to blood sugar is also dampened when they're tired, which suggest those who don't sleep well are at higher risk of type 2 diabetes.“We saw that the (fatty) tissue is attempting to increase its capacity to store fat following sleep loss,” said Dr Cedernaes, "whereas we observed signs of breakdown of skeletal muscle. We also noted changes in levels of proteins involved handling blood glucose(葡萄糖), and this could help explain why the participants’ glucose sensitivity was impaired(伤害) following sleep loss.”Taken together, these observations may provide at least partial insight(了解) as to why chronic sleep loss and shift work can increase the risk of adverse weight gain as well as the risk oftype 2 diabetes.12. What's the new scientific reason for people's getting fatter?A. Midnight snacks.B. Lack of exercise.C. The body clock.D.The gene.13. Why do the researchers think their findings are important?A. Their research will make a great profitB. Too much body fat leads to deadly disease.C Their research will improve the quality of sleep.D. They can change the genes of the human body.14. What can b e learned from Dr.Cedernaes’s statement?A. Sleep loss increase muscle.B. Sleep loss increase glucose sensitivity.C. Sleep loss makes the tissue store less fat.D. Sleep loss may lead to type 2 diabetes.15. What’s the best title for the t ext?A. Sleeping Badly Will Make You FatB. Heart Disease and Sleep LossC. The Death Rate and Sleep LossD.

B．$ 21. 97. C．$ 6. 99. D．$ 14. 99.2．What can we know about the Food Chopper?A．It protects people from getting burnt. B．It is used to contain liquid.C．It is made of BPA plastics. D．It has two main functions.3．What is the advantage of the Mixing Bowl Set?A．It is convenient to clean. B．It keeps steady when used.C．It helps you save a lot of money. D．It saves you time for cooking.BPerhaps thousands of people have searched for a bronze chest full of gold and jewels hidden in the Rocky Mountains between Santa Fe and the Canadian border hidden by a millionaire adventurer. At least four people died in their search for the treasure.But it's all over now. Fenn's Treasure has been found. The 89-year-old adventurer named Forrest Fenn, who created the treasure hunt, announced the news via his website. “I don't know the person who found it, but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot,” Fenn wrote. “The treasure was confirmed by a photograph the lucky finder sent me.”Forrest Fenn, the man who started the hunt, lives in Santa Fe. He was a pilot in the Vietnam War and later accumulated his wealth as a dealer in art and antiques. Fenn was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer in 1988 and had planned to die peacefully in the woods with his treasure. But when his cancer became less serious, he changed his plan, eventually writing the poem that described his dream resting place, which is where he hid the treasure. The poem appeared in a memoir called The Thrill of the Chase. Fenn said that the chest wouldn't be found by accident; only a treasure hunter who correctly interpreted the clues(线索) would find it.Several treasure hunters went missing while attempting to find the chest, including hunter Jeff Murphy and Mike Petersen, both of whom went missing in Yellowstone National Park in 2017. Fenn said that he had never been to the Yellowstone National Park, and that the treasure was not in a dangerous place. "It was in thethick forest of the Rocky Mountains and had not been moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago," Fenn wrote on his website. It is illegal to remove anything from a national park, which would cause trouble in legally claiming the treasure if it was found there.4．What contributed to the finding of the treasure?A．Fenn's announcement. B．A poem in Fenn's book.C．Fenn’s vivid description.D．A photo on Fenn's website.5．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．Who Forrest Fenn was. B．Where Fenn hid the treasure.C．How the treasure hunt began. D．What Fenn did to find the treasure.6．What can we learn about "Fenn's Treasure”?A．It was in Yellowstone National Park.B．It was found by someone by chance.C．It was moved from one place to another.D．It was in Fenn's chosen resting place.7．What does the underlined word “claiming” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Taking. B．Burying. C．Protecting. D．Acknowledging.CNot buying things can be difficult, even when you're determined not to. For many people, a no-buy year is simply a way of life because their financial situation leaves them no other choice. But for others—myself included—we have enough clothes, shoes, electronic devices, books, and so on. Yet, we continue to buy.If you're going to try a no-buy year, the first step is identifying why you're doing it. Is it to save money? Pay off debt? Have more money for experiences? To be more sustainable? Without a goal, failure is likely. I say this based on my experience.Last year, I wanted to take my sons on vacation where I could afford the rental and good meals. So I set a goal. That goal was not to buy anything I didn't need. A month before we went, I realized I needed to do more.I decided that I wouldn't spend money going out socially. I eventually reached my goal.After vacation, I went back to my regular spending habits. But I wonder what would have happened if I'd maintained the stricter habits. There are many experiences I would love to have—concerts and music festivals are at the top of the list. Yet, I often buy little things—like $20 shoes instead of tickets to concerts. If I could forgo those little things, I would probably go to a lot more concerts.I think the no-buy movement is something that would bring us some happiness. Still, it's difficult. Eventhough we're surrounded by things, we manage to convince ourselves that none of those things are the “perfect” things for our immediate need.I'm going to set another goal right now. That goal is to go to a big music festival at the end of the summer. To get there, I promise I won't spend money on the things I don't really need. Nowadays, I encourage you to spend some time thinking about what your goals are and how about buying nothing—or at least buying a lot less—can help you reach them.8．Why did the author not continue her social activities?A．To pay off her debt. B．To accompany her sons.C．To realize her sons' goals. D．To save money for their vacation.9．What does the underlined word “forgo” mean in Paragraph 4?A．Quit. B．Afford.C．Maintain. D．Rent.10．What does the author think of the no-buy movement?A．It is beneficial but hard to carry out.B．It shows the true meaning of happiness.C．It finds fault with current spending habits.D．It gives way to big music festivals and musicals.11．What would the best title probably be?A．The No- Buy Movement Is PopularB．Could You Handle A No-Buy Year?C．Financial Situation Affects What We Can BuyD．Do What You Like Even If You May Meet TroubleDThe area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12, 2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home.But the ash didn't stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.“What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let's transform this into opportunity.”The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit.12．What has happened to Taal Volcano?A．It attracts more and more visitors. B．It becomes quieter and quieter.C．It is covered with ash completely. D．It causes bad effects on the locals.13．What are people advised to do according to Walfredo Dimaguila?A．To collect volcanic ash for recycling. B．To save sacks for factories to use.C．To set up a factory for making bricks. D．To build communities for people from disasters. 14．What can we infer from Dimaguila's words in Paragraph 3?A．Companies are expected to donate money.B．Bricks made of volcanic ash are popular.C．Batangas has been the most misfortune.D．Turning ash into bricks benefits the earth.15．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Taal Lake on Luzon Island is destroyed. B．Taal Volcano has enjoyed popularity.C．Disasters always hit the Philippines. D．The Filipino people turn ash into treasure.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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。

When Andraka was 14, a family friend died of the disease, and this affected him deeply. This kind of cancer is particularly serious because there is no test you can have done to find it in the early stages. By the time standard tests determine you have the disease, it is often too late. Realizing that this was the case, Andraka decided to try to develop a test that might catch problems at the earliest stages.The road ahead looked difficult for Andraka. He was still a high school student, and he wanted to create something that no one else had done. But Andraka read endlessly about the disease, wrote a proposal for his idea, and sent it out to 200 cancer researchers.Only one professor, Dr.Anirban Maitra, responded positively. Dr. Maitra agreed to work with Andraka on his idea, giving him guidance and access to a laboratory.The next big reward for Andraka's perseverance was winning the grand prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. This great award is given to young innovators who have developed a world-changing idea. Developing the test is likely to take many years, but Andraka hopes the test will eventually improve people's lives and maybe save them.Jack Andraka is not alone as a young innovator. After all, there were 1, 499 other contestants for the Intel award, and all of them had ground-breaking ideas. For Andraka, having a family that loves science and encourages creative thinking gave him an advantage. But the key for Andraka is that reading, research, and discovery are just plain fun, and the chance to improve the world around him in the process makes it even better.24. Why did Andraka decide to develop a test for pancreatic cancer?A. His friend's encouragement.B. An upsetting experience.C. His extensive reading.D. An important test.25. What difficulty did Andraka meet at the beginning of his research?A. Lack of positive replies from experts.B. Heavy pressure from his schoolwork.C. Little access to research equipment.D. Great need of money to develop a test.26. Which of the following leads to Andraka's award winning?A. The competition with other contestants.B. His determination to improve the world.C. The support from his family.D. His passion for discovery.27. What can we learn from Andraka's story?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Hard work leads to success.C. One good turn deserves another.D. Failure is the mother of success.CAnyone wanting to help the poor may like this idea-recycling aluminum cans in a different way, which is apparently also good for the environment. So you're actually killing two birds with one stone. It goes without saying that recycling aluminum cans can save resources, energy, time and money. People usually save and place aluminum cans in the dustbins, which are then collected and taken away by cleaners, who will finally recycle them in the recycling center. But if you save the aluminum cans, and skip the cleaners, you can save these same cans for something more important-helping the poor. In other words, by doing less, you are giving the environmental cause some new significance.Here is how to put this idea into action. Take your aluminum cans and place them in a plastic bag. For the dirty ones, rinse them out first. Store the bag of clean aluminum cans. Once you collect about one hundred cans or more, take the cans to the recycle center yourself. There are about eighteen aluminum cans in a pound. And you can receive three to four dollars for one hundred cans. Donate your three to four dollars to the poor or any charity organization of your choice.By now, you may wonder if your few dollars have really made a difference to the poor. Consider this: Is there any individual or any specific event that is great enough to change the world or decide the direction that history takes? The answer is probably no. What if there were a lot of people who would do the same thing? History shows nothing but the collective will of the whole community. And that will surely be powerful enough to make a bigger difference.Go to your community or your school and spread your idea. Share your idea and save your aluminum cans with other people. One hundred people can speak louder than one. And the money you make by saving cans can be multiplied by one hundred times. And if more people join in the cause around the world, an even larger difference can be made, and more people in need will enjoy the benefits.28. What's special about the new idea?A. It makes profits.B. It saves resources.C. It benefits the poor.D. It involves cleaners.29. What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. Dirty cans do not sell well.B. You decide who receives the money.C. A hundred cans weigh about 3 pounds.D. The recycle center is conveniently located.30. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. A great individual or event.B. The direction history takes.C. The collective will of people.D. The neighbourhood you live in.31. Which of the following does the writer want to tell us?A. Many hands make light work.B. Kill two birds with one stone.C. Don't put the cart before the horse.D. No man can do two things at once.DChina's historic 23-day Chang'e 5 mission has not only obtained precious rock and soil samples from the moon, but has also brought back a group of seeds that traveled the furthest in the nation's agricultural and forestry histories. More than 30 kinds of seeds, including that of rice, oats etc., were placed inside the multi-module Chang'e 5 spacecraft and orbited around the moon for about 15 days.Scientists wished to check what would happen to the seeds after being exposed to extraterrestrial (地外的) forces in lunar orbit and also hoped that they could develop beneficial mutations (突变). This mission offered good opportunities to scientists, which enabled them to deepen their studies on the effect of cosmic rays on the growth and evolution of life on Earth.Space-based mutation breeding refers to the process of exposing seeds to forces such as microgravity, vacuums and cosmic radiation during a spaceflight and then sending them back to Earth for further observation and planting. Researchers observe and examine several generations of plants grown from space-bred seeds and investigate their mutations-some are positive and desirable while others are negative. Those with positive mutations will be kept and analyzed, and will be introduced to farmers after their certification and approval.Space breeding can generate mutations faster and more conveniently than ground- based experiments and can bring about some desirable traits that are otherwise hard to introduce. Compared with natural or conventionally bred types of plants, space-developed versions with positive mutations usually feature higher nutritional content, greater annual yields, shorter growth periods and better resistance to diseases and insect pests.China conducted its first space breeding experiment in 1987, using a satellite to carry seeds into space. Since then, hundreds of kinds of seeds and seedlings have traveled with dozens of Chinese spaceships. Space breeding has helped to produce more than 200 new types of mutated plants in China that have been approved for large-scale cultivation, ranging from grains to vegetables and fruits.

A quiet man by nature, he finds himself happiestwhile changing the brake pads on an old truck or replacing a water heater.As a mechanic, Harold runs a workshop after retiring. His wife Jeannette teaches English at the local high school. With their own kids grown, they don't need a lot or want a lot, so Harold and Jeannette live a simple life. And while his wife is in the classroom, Harold often walks around in the neighborhood. There's always a widow who needs a lamp fixed or a teenager who needs a tire changed.Each day, Harold pulls on his coveralls（工作服）and goes to work. His wife teaches students to speak, while Harold economizes language. "Yep, you got a leak. I’l l get my toolbox.” That's about as much as you'll get out of Harold. Even when you thank him, he’ll just wave.In a world of social media, massive information floods our screens, with various ways to communicate. But if you want to talk to Harold, you have to go to his workshop and knock on the door. Ifs reassuring to know that there's Harold, willing to fix the mechanical things that stress us out. He always works slowly and methodically, removing the old pipe, pulling it to his truck, and cutting a new pipe. He's done this hundreds of times. There's no frustration,, no hurry, only an ease and satisfaction, like a gardener taking care of his beloved flowers.Shortly after Jeannette retired, Harold passed away from a rare disease. Harold saved his words, but his friends and family didn't. A flood of appreciation came pouring out. "He was there when I needed a hand," many said. What a valuable thing in these days! After all, the purpose in life is not to get the most likes, but to like most what you do.4. Why does Harold walk around in the neighborhood?A. To keep fit.B. To lend a hand.C. To look for a job.D.

Silence is gold.B. Kindness will be rewarded.C. Like what you do.D. Live slowly in a fast world.CBlood donations save lives. But blood can only be stored under refrigeration for up to six weeks. After that, it's no longer usable for transfusions. Because of that limitation, people have to continually donate blood to meet the needs.Jonathan Kopechek, a bioengineer from University of Louisville says suspension to regular blood donations due to COVID-19 has put stress on the blood supply, and the pandemic underscores the need for more reliable long-term storage methods.Good news is that Kopechek's team has developed a method of preserving blood so it can be stored in a dehydrated（脱水的）state at room temperature. To do so, they turned to a sugar called trehalose（海藻糖），which is a common ingredient in donuts （甜甜圈）.Trehalose is intended to help make them look fresh even when they are months old, and you wouldn't know the difference.The researchers chose trehalose because, in nature, it's made by animals like sea monkeys—famous for their ability to survive dehydration. "So these animals can dry out completely for a long time and then be rehydrated and resume normal function. So we wanted to use the trehalose produced by these organisms and apply that to preserving blood cells in a dried state.”But first, the researchers had to get trehalose into blood cells. To achieve this, they drilled temporary holes in the cell membranes（细胞膜）.And they need to have sufficient trehalose on both the inside and the outside of the cell in order to survive the dehydration and rehydration process. At that point, the blood could be dried and made into a powder. "And then we can rehydrate the blood and have it return back to normal."Kopechek said the technique could be ready for clinical trials in three to five years. If successful, it could be used to create stores of dried blood in case of future pandemics or natural disasters-and for humanitarian aid work, military operations or even missions to Mars. Maybe first aid kits on Mars will include dried red blood cells.8. Which has the closest meaning with the underlined word in Paragraph 2?A. Satisfy.B. Decrease.C. Highlight.D. Influence.9. What can we learn about trehalose?A. It can only be found in sea monkeys.B. It should be preserved in a dried state.C. It helps to keep donuts fresh and tasty.D. It contributes to long-term blood storage.10. Which is the correct order of storing blood with trehalose?① Drying blood and making it into a powder. ② Getting trehalose into blood cells.③ Rehydrating the blood. ④ Drilling holes in the cell surface.A.④②①③B.④①②③C.②④①③D.②③④①11. What is the text mainly about?A. Dried blood has a promising prospect.B. Trehalose could help stored blood last.C. The need for stored blood is on the rise.D. Storing blood longer is very challenging.DAlthough billions of locusts （蝗虫）appearing on East African countries greatly panicked farmers in 2020, they managed to see through this unexpected crisis. "Their success primarily results from a technology-driven anti-locust operation," said Mr. Cressman, an officer in the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.Nonnally, these locusts live alone across the deserts of North Africa, Southwest Asia and the Middle East. But when rains arrive, they change from a slightly brown into a deep yellow and form groups of more than 15 million insects per square mile. Such quantities of locusts can consume the equivalent amount of food in a single day as more than 13, 000 people.Locust trackers in Sudan and Eritrea find the insects by using a tablet-based program to transmit data to authorities so experts can design appropriate control strategies. But people who want to use this system might encounter a technological problem: The version of the tablets that the locust-tracking program was written for is not manufactured and newer tablets are unsuitable for the software.Rather than rewriting the locust-tracking software for newer tablets, Mr. Cressman thought creating a simple smartphone app would make anyone collect data like an expert. He sought help from Dr. Hughes, who had already created PlantVillage to track a crop pest. Borrowing from this blueprint, Dr. Hughes and his colleagues completed eLocust3m, which anyone with a smartphone can use. The app presents photos of locusts at different stages of their life cycles, which helps users diagnose what they see in the field. The locations are then automatically recorded by GPS and algorithms （算法） double check submitted photos. If necessary, pesticide-spraying aircraft will take position.The F. A. O. estimates that this effort in East Africa has prevented the loss of agricultural products with a commercial value of $ 1.5 billion, saving thelivelihood of 34 million people.12. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Summarize the previous paragraph.B. Provide scientific data for readers.C. Add some background information.D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.13. What may trouble potential tablet-based program users?A. The low adaptability of the software.B. Too many versions of new tablets.C. The complex process of transmitting data.D. The urgency of rewriting the software.14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Cressman created a smartphone app.B. ELocust3m is based on Plantvillage.C. Operating ELocust3m needs much training.D. Users should record where they find locusts.15. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But also a question for economists, argued Kenneth Boulding, a British economist, in an essay published in 1966. We have run our (41) ______ , he warned, like cowboys on the open grassland: taking and using the world’s resources, (42) ______ that more lies over the horizon. But the Earth is (43) ______a grassland than a spaceship—a closed system, alone in space, carrying limited supplies. We need, said Boulding, an economics that takes seriously the idea of environmental (44) ______. In the half century since his essay, a new movement has responded to his challenge. “Ecological economists”, as they call themselves, want to (45) ______ its aims and assumptions. What do they say, and will their ideas take off? To its (46) ______, ecological economics is neither ecology nor economics, but a mix of both. Their starting point is to recognize that the human economy is part of the natural world. Our environment, they note, is both a source of resources and a sink for wastes. But it is (47) ______ in conventional textbooks, where neat diagrams trace the flows between firms, households and the government as though nature did not exist. That is a huge mistake.There are two ways our economies can grow, ecological economists point out: through technological change, or through more intensive use of resources. Only the (48) ______, they say, is worth having. They are suspicious of GDP, a simple (49) ______ which does not take account of resource exhaustion, unpaid work, and countless other factors. (50) ______ they advocate more holistic(全面的) approaches, such as the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), a composite index(复合指标) that includes things like the cost of pollution, deforestation and car accidents. While GDP has kept growing, global GPI per person (51) ______ in 1978: by destroying our environment we are making ourselves poorer, not richer. The solution, says Herman Daly, a former World Bank economist and eco-guru, is a “steady-state”economy, where the use of materials and energy is held (52) ______.Mainstream economists are (53) ______. The GPI, they point out, is a subjective measure. And talk of limits to growth has had a bad press since the days of Thomas Malthus, a gloomy 18th century cleric who predicted, wrongly, that overpopulation would lead to famine. Human beings find solutions to some of the most annoying problems. But ecological economists (64) ______ self-satisfaction. In 2009 a paper in Nature, a scientific journal, argued that human activity is already (55) ______safe planetary boundaries on issues such as biodiversity(生物多样性) and climate change.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses’ convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself. “Who is that?” the new arrival asked St. Peter. “Oh, that’s God,” came the reply, “but sometimes he thinks he’s a doctor.”If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it’ll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman’s notoriou s bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustn’t attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it’s the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote “If at first you don’t succeed, give up” or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.56.To make your humor work, you should ________.A. take advantage of different kinds of audienceB. make fun of the disorganized peopleC. address different problems to different peopleD. show sympathy for your listeners57. The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are ________.A. impolite to new arrivalsB. very conscious of their godlike roleC. entitled to some privilegesD. very busy even during lunch hours58. It can be inferred from the text that public services ________.A. have benefited many peopleB. are the focus of public attentionC. are an inappropriate subject for humorD. have often been the laughing stock59. The best title for the text may be ________.e Humor EffectivelyB. Various Kinds of HumorC. Add Humor to SpeechD. Different Humor Strategies【答案】56.A 57.C 58.B 59.C(B)"Fighting like cats and dogs" is a common phrase that people use to mean people argue,fright or don't get along. If you like cartoons, you've probably seen many that describe cats and dogs fighting like sworn enemies(不共戴天的仇敌). There have even been movies made that describe cats against dogs.As with many questions in life, there's simply no easy answer to the question of whether dogs and cats can get along. Dogs and cats are different in many ways that can make it difficult for them to get along. However, with patience and the right circumstances, cats and dogs can be best buds(兄弟).For example, dogs tend to be social animals that are naturally playful. Cats, on the other hand, tend to be more independent. A dog that wants to play might seem aggressive and frightening to a cat. This may lead the cat to defend itself against an attack although that's really just a desire to play. Similarly, dogs - especially puppies - like to chase each other. It's a fun game. Chasing cats can be just as fun as chasing other dogs. Again, cats may interpret such playful behavior as a threat.Even there's something dogs and cats have in common, tails, but tails can make things confusing. When a dog wags (摇摆) its tail, it's sending a friendly message: "I'm happy. Let's play." Cats, however, wag their tails when they are angry. You can see how this might lead cats and dogs to become confused if they're facing each other with wagging tails!Although dogs and cats aren't really sworn enemies, dogs are hunters by nature. This means that they might hunt and chase anything that moves - including a cat. This natural behavior that could cause problems between dogs and cats can be controlled by special training called socialization when the animals meet for the first time.60. By saying "fighting like cats and dogs", parents most probably mean that .A.they like neither cats nor dogsB. their kids don't get on well with each otherC. cats and dogs fight like sworn enemiesD.the fights between cats and dogs are often made into movies 61.Which of the following may be one of the reasons that dogs and cats fight often?A. They couldn't understand each other.B.They are worried about their behaviors.C. They enjoy exactly the same hobbies.D.They wag their tails too often.62. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dogs are good at hunting animals.B. Dogs don't like cats naturally.C. Cats usually like playing with dogs.D. Dogs and cats can possibly live in harmony.【答案】60.B 61.A 62.D(C)During the past generation, the American middle-class family that once could count on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure had been transformed by economic risk and new realities. Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months.In just one generation, millions of mothers have gone to work, transforming basic family economics. Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few have looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well. Today’s families have budgeted to the limits of their new two-paycheck status. As a result, they have lost the parachute they once had in times of financial setback – a back-up earner (usually Mom) who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off or fell sick. This “added-worker effect” could support the safety net offered by unemployment insurance or disability insurance to help families weather bad times. But today, a disruption to family fortunes can no longer be made up with extra income from an otherwise-stay-at-home partner.During the same period, families have been asked to absorb much more risk in their retirement income. Steelworkers, airline employees, and now those in the auto industry are joining millionsof families who must worry about interest rates, stock market fluctuation, and the harsh reality that they may outlive their retirement money. For much of the past year, President Bush campaigned to move Social Security to a saving-account model, with retirees trading much or all of their guaranteed payments for payments depending on investment returns. For younger families, the picture is not any better. Both the absolute cost of healthcare and the share of it borne by families have risen –and newly fashionable health-savings plans are spreading from legislative halls to Wal-Mart workers, with much higher deductibles and a large new dose of investment risk for families’ future healthcare. Even demographics are working against the middle class family, as the odds of having a weak elderly parent – and all the attendant need for physical and financial assistance – have jumped eightfold in just one generation.From the middle-class family perspective, much of this, understandably, looks far less like an opportunity to exercise more financial responsibility, and a good deal more like a frightening acceleration of the wholesale shift of financial risk onto their already overburdened shoulders. The financial fallout has begun, and the political fallout may not be far behind.63.Today’s double-income families are at greater financial risk in that ________A. the safety net they used to enjoy has disappeared.B. their chances of being laid off have greatly increased.C. they are more vulnerable to changes in family economics.D. they are deprived of unemployment or disability insurance.64. As a result of President Bush’s reform, retired people may have ________A. a higher sense of security.B. less secured payments.C. less chance to invest.D. a guaranteed future.65. According to the author, health-savings plans will ________A . help reduce the cost of healthcare.B. popularize among the middle class.C. compensate for the reduced pensions.D. increase the families’ investment risk.66. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________A. financial risks tend to outweigh political risks.B. the middle class may face greater political challenges.C. financial problems may bring about political problems.D. financial responsibility is an indicator of political status.【答案】63.C 64.B 65.D 66.CSection CDirections:Read the following passage.

The study involving 5,968 women in Maryland confirmed previous findings that people who do regular physical activity are less likely to develop cancer.But when the researchers looked at the women ages 18 to 65 who were in the upper half in terms of the amount of physical exercise they got per week, they found that sleep appeared to play an important role in cancer risk.Those who slept less than seven hours nightly had a 47 percent higher risk of cancer than those who got more sleep among the physically active women, the researchers reported at a meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.“We think it’s quite interesting and intriguing. It’s kind of a first look into this. It isn’t someth ing that has been widely studied,” James McClain of the National Cancer Institute, part of the U.S. government’s National Institutes of Health, said in a telephone interview.McClain, who led the study, said it is unclear exactly how getting too little sleep may make one more susceptible（易受感染的）to cancer. “Getting adequate sleep has been long associated with health,” McClain said.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls sleep loss an under-recognized public health problem, saying Americans are getting less and less slumber. The CDCP said the percentage of adults reporting sleeping six hours or less a night increased from 1985 to 2006.

AIf you have difficulty deciding on your book list, the following ideas shared by some great talents might help you out.Read books from eras past // Albert EinsteinKeeping up with current events and latest books from the bestseller list is a big job, but Albert Einstein thought it was vital to leave some room for older works, too. Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” he wrote in a1952 journal article.Don’t jump too quickly from book to book // SenecaSeneca, a first-century Roman Stoic philosopher, believed that reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you. “You must spend much time among a limited number of master thinkers, if you would gain ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind,” he wrote.Shop at secondhand bookstores // Virginia WoolfIn her essay Street Haunting, Virginia Woolf described the benefits of shopping in secondhand bookstores, where the works “have come together in vast flocks of various feather, and have a charm which the carefully chosen books of the library lack.”According to Woolf, looking through used books gives you the chance to come across something that wouldn’t have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers, who are often much more selective in building their collections than secondhand bookstore owners. redecorate old ideas; old books suggest and inspire new ideas.”1.Who held the idea that great works should be digested?A.

Valuable.BGuanmei, a 65-year-old woman of the Dong ethnic group, is the inheritor of the Grand Song of Dong (侗族大歌), a national intangible cultural heritage in China. Her hometown Zaidai Village in Guizhou, southwestern China, is home to the Grand Song of the Dong ethnic group.The Grand Song of Dong dates from more than 2,500 years ago. The way Dong singers use their vocal cords ( 声带) is different from how formally trained singers do. It is a folk chorus with multi-parts, no conductor, and no accompaniment. Organically growing from their natural surroundings, it is recognized internationally as “the sound of Nature.”Before the Dong people had a writing system in 1958，the Dong culture, their history and stories were all recorded by means of songs. As a Dong saying goes, “Rice feeds the body and songs enrich the soul”. The Dong people sing right from their childhood. While not singing, they a ll work in their rice field.Guanmei has been singing the Grand Song of Dong all her life, making her a famous singing teacher in her hometown and nearby areas. “The songs are our means of passing on wisdom, knowledge and life experiences to others. I will not exist in this world 100 years later, but Grand songs will. I’m honored to do this job, ” Guanmei said.Kind-hearted, Guanmei has been volunteering to teach the Grand Song of Dong to the Dong children for over 30 years. Now she has more than 300 students. Guanmei is pleased to see the village children come to her house willingly when they have free time.“Nowadays, more and more young people leave the village and settle in cities. Decades later, theDong children out of the village might know nothing about Grand songs. We should do something just now. It’s our mission. What is once lost might be lost forever,” added Guanmei.4.What makes the Grand Song of Dong known as “the sound of Nature”?A.The outstanding conductor.B.The special musical instrument.C.The attractive natural environment.D.The inspiration from nature.5.What can we know about the Dong ethnic culture?A.The Dong singers are professionals.B.The Dong culture before 1958 has been largely lost.C.Singing is of vital importance to the Dong people.D.They have a written language with a history of over 2,500 years.6.How does Guanmei feel about the future of Grand songs?A. Concerned.B. Sympathetic.C. Optimistic.D. Satisfied.7.What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the p assage?A.To call on young people to return to the Dong village.B.To guide the Dong children to learn the Grand Song of Dong.C.To show a woman’s efforts to keep the Dong culture alive.D.To instruct people to appreciate the Grand Song of Dong.COverly focusing on your goals may actually be counterproductive in the long run. Take it from an Olympic athlete.After Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, lost her balance in the 800-meter run, she lost the race that would qualify her for the Olympics. Instead of focusing on her failure, she prepared to win in the next race. “The track doesn’t care about your feelings,” she told New York Magazine Intelligence. “You’ve just got to move forward.” She did indeed move forward and ended up winning third place in the 1500-meter race a week later to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process.Researchers from Harvard found that overemphasizing goals based on measurable outcomes often leads to risk-taking, improper behavior and reduced motivation.When you become overly focused on achieving the goal, you may lose sight of your original purpose for accomplishing the goal in the first place. Another danger is actually completing the goal without setting a plan for what’s next. For example, some marathon runners experience what’s called the “post-race blues”. Achieving your goal may cause you to drop the good habits that got you there in the first place.“After you set a goal, it’s best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving it; and to judge yourself based on how well you manage that process,” columnist Brad Stulberg said.Ultimately, changing your mindset from goals to process will lead you to achieve small victories on your way to accomplishing long-term goals. It leaves you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the measurable outcome.8.What does the underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Influential.B. Harmful.C. Satisfying.D. Unpredictable.9.What does the writer want to tell us by referring to Brenda Martinez’s story?A.The ways to deal with failure.B.The process matters more.C.Determination means a lot for an athlete.D.The consequence of making the right decision.10.Why may some marathon runners experience the “post-race blues”?A.Because they are satisfied with their achievements.B.Because they haven’t gained what they want.C.Because they haven’t got a further plan.D.Because they lose sight of their original purpose.11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.How to set a long-term goal.B.The way to realize your aim.C.The benefits of fixing on the process.D.How to shift your focus from goal to process.DA master of words, a literary genius and a philosopher, Russian author Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is known by many as the greatest writer of all time. Even in 2020, 110 years after his death, his two greatest masterpieces, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, continue to be widely read, appreciated and highly influential.“If the world could write by itself, it would write like Tolstoy,” the Russian author Isaak Babel once said. Tolstoy’s realistic fiction is famous for its powers of observation and ability to min e the depths of human consciousness, such as the psychological exploration of a married woman in AnnaKarenina. In War and Peace, Tolstoy also describes Russia’s national soul and expresses public unity through his many characters. His characters feel alive; they grow, they change and they stick in the minds of readers long after the final page is turned.Tolstoy’s influence on literature is without comparison. Authors regularly mention his novels as their highest ambition, works that they could only dream of writing themselves. American writer Francis Scott called Tolstoy the “greatest of all novelists” in his essay. He wrote, “from his first words, we can be sure of one thing at any rate – here is a man who sees what we see, who proceeds, too, as we are accustomed to proceeding, not from the outside inwards but from the inside outwards.”“He defends fundamental values such as love, friendship and family relations. He gives positive answers to the questions mankind is asking. In this sense he gives more hope,” Tolstoy’s great-great grandson, Vladimir Ilyich Tolstoy, said.Tolstoy’s message of peace has even had an effect on the real world. He inspired the leader of India’s independenc e movement, Mahatma Ghandi, and his philosophy of non-violence over the course of a year in which they wrote letters to each other.12.What does the second paragraph intend to tell us?A.The writing style of Tolstoy.B.Tolstoy’s influence on other authors.C.The characters in Tolstoy’s works.D.The introduction to the greatest works of Tolstoy.13.Which words can best describe Tolstoy according to the passage?A.Humorous and caring.B.Determined and optimistic.C.Productive and hard-working.D.Insightful and peace-loving.14.How does the author introduce Tolstoy in this passage?A.By contrasting with other authors.B.By analyzing characteristics of his works.C.By quoting comments and opinions.D.By describing his deeds in life.15.Which can be the best title for the passage?A.Tolstoy and His WorksB.Tolstoy’s Life and AchievementsC.War and Peace: a Great MasterpieceD.Tolstoy: a Writer Beyond Comparison 第二节（共5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
