Unique perspectives．BWhen I was five or six years old，I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world．I would say to myself，"When I grow up，when I can get rich，I will save kids all over the world．"At 17，I started my career here in America，and by the age of 18，I started my first charity organization．I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years，and met，helped，and even lost some of the most beautiful souls，tern six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia （白血病），whose story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors，to 2012 when grandmother lost her battle with cancer，which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation（CLF）．We're all human．And we all just want a chance：a chance at life，a chance in education，a chance at a future，really．And at CLF，our mission is to impact as many lives as possible，but it starts with just one．People make it seem too hard to do charity work．The truth is，you don't have to be rich to help others．You don't need to be famous．You don't even have to be college-educated．But it starts with your neighbor，the person right next to you，the person sitting next to you in class，the kid down the block in your neighborhood．You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can．And today，I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person，one organization，one situation that touches your heart．My grandmother always used to say，"If you've got a dollar，there's plenty to share．"4.What did the author want to do at a young age？______A. Watch TV．B. Grow up quickly．C. Become wealthy．D. Help other children．5.What directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF？______A. A six-year-old kid's request．B. Her grandmother's death of cancer．C. Many volunteers' inspiration．D. Other organizations' encouragement．6.What does the underlined word "one" in Paragraph 2 refer to？______A. A chance．B. A task．C. A life．D. An organization．7.What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph？______A. Do little things to help those aroundthem．B. Work hard to geta college education．C. Challenge their friends to offer help．D. Do charity work whatever you are．CAlongside air and water，food is a necessity for human beings to survive and thrive．But it's a lot more than that．As Mariette Dichristina of Scientific American wrote："The most intimate （亲密的）relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being．Instead，it is between our bodies and our food．"Nowadays，for most people in the worlds wealthiest countries，food is a hobby，an enthusiasm，and even something fashionable．Turn on the TV in the US，UK or France，and you'll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession．And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a " foodie"．It's almostimpossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen．But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging （夸耀），many of us forget how much we take food for granted．This is why World Food Day is held each year．Take Kenya for example．This east African nation has been suffering terrible droughts．The result is that people are beginning to starve．Children in particular are suffering，with some of them even dying．This may seem shocking to know，especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way．But even in the UK，families on low incomes are forced to use food banks-European organizations that hand out donated food to those who can't afford to pay for it themselves．So what can we do on World Food Day？One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have．After all，food is essential for survival，but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time．8.According to Mariette Dichristina，what has the closest relationship with us？______A. Air．B. Water．C. Food．D. Human beings．9.What does the underlined word "foodie" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？______A. Delicious food．B. A person fond of food．C. A social media app．D. A photo of delicious meals．10.Who can get help from food banks？______A. Poor people in the UK．B. Poor people in Africa．G．Starving children in Kenya．D．People in thedrought-stricken．11.What's the best title for the text？______A. Treat Food as a HobbyB. Time to Appreciate FoodC. Food Shortage in Some CountriesD. How to Spend World Food DayDTraditionally，robots have been hard，made of metal and other rigid material：But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration from an octopus （章鱼）．Described in science journal Nature，the "Octobot" could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search，rescue and exploration．"The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft，autonomous robots" the study's authors wrote．Robots built for precise，repetitive movements in a controlled environment don't do so well on rough terrains （地形）or in unpredictable conditions．And they aren't especially safe around humans，because they're made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users．So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades．They're taken inspiration from nature，looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches，which are often made up of more flexible matter．But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge．Even if engineers build a silicone （硅酮）body，it's still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts，such as a source of power．"Although soft robotics is still in its early stage，it holds great promise for several applications，such as search-rescue operations and exploration，" Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology' Center for Micro-BioRobotics，wrote in a comment．"Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life．"12.What's the special feature of "Octobot"？______A. It's soft．B. It's made of metal．C. It's very small．D. It looks like an octopus．13.What's the disadvantage of traditional robots？______A. They're hard to control．B. They're too heavy to move．C. They can't predict conditions．D. They can't behave well all the time．14.One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot's ______ ．A. silicone bodyB. complex componentsC. precise movementsD. flexible power source15.What's the possible application of "Octobot"？______A. Medical research．B. Life rescue．C. Machine operation．D. House cleaning．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Why Stand in Line on Black Friday？Standing in line is a pain．At the post office．At the box office．At a restaurant．(1) The first spot outside some Best Buy stores is usually claimed （认领）weeks in advance，often by a person in a tent．Shoppers at Walmart will print out maps of the store，with circles around their primary targets．(2) ．"These queues are quite different than the usual annoying ones we come across day to day at the ATM or in the subway，" said Richard Larson，a professor at MIT who has spent years studying line behavior．"Once a year，" he said，"the lines are exciting．They're the kind you might tell your grandchildren about．" (3) Billie LeClere，45，was first in line on Thursday at Walmart in Manchester，Iowa．She said she was a regular Black Friday shopper．But this year，she came with a specific purpose：to get a good deal on a new TV．She and her husband had recently separated，and he had taken the old TV earlier that day．"The marriage died，not the TV，" she said．(4) "It's going to be nice to have something that's newer-and it's mine，not his．"(5) The following are two of the typical results．The "gotta have it" atmosphere makes people more anxious．Sometimes the behaviour of the queue turns violent．Therefore，lines test patience，personal space especially on Black Friday，when the crowds can be overwhelming （势不可挡的）．A．Shoppers are excited to buy gifts．B．But on Black Friday，it's an experience．C．Moreover，the crowds are queuing for good deals．D．Many families are queuing to chat with each other．E．The experience gave her a sense of accomplishment．F．They are trying to turn the experience into an adventure．G．The behaviour of people in lines has inspired decades of research．16.

those who share a common vision of the future．For me，that's true for my relationship with my dad．Some fathers and sons bond over sports，fishing or hunting，but my dad and I bond over Star Trek．We tried a trip to Disney World，but one of my earliest memories wasn't Mickey，but a Klingon battle cruiser （巡洋舰）on the screen．Over the years，nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me．When it's warm at night，we're not driving along some dark streets in Indiana，but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining．Both of us are thinking of them，without needing to say a word．All these visions of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me．Gene Rodenberry，creator of Star Trek，once said，"Science fiction is a way of thinking，a way of logic that bypasses （绕过）a lot of nonsense．It allows people to look directlyat important subjects．" A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just myrelationship with my dad，but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future．I'm now a science writer．Yes，science fiction has made me into a "nerd"（书呆子），and it also has been a source of joy for my family，making me an optimist while enabling me

invented when the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth，England，to NorthAmerica-and their Mayflower had been stocked with bottled water and plastic-wrappedsnacks，their plastic waste would likely still be around four centuries later．Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits．And those bits might still be floating around the world's oceans today，waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster，and finally perhaps by one of us．Because plastic wasn't invented until the late 19th century，and its production only really took off around 1950，we have a mere 9．2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with．Of that，more than 6．9 billion tons have become waste．And of that waste，a surprising 6.3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin-the figure that shocked the scientists whopublished the numbers in 2017．No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean，the earth's last sink．In 2015，Jenna Jambeck，a University of Georgia engineering professor，caught everyone's attention with a rough estimate：between 5．3 million and 14 million tons of plastic waste each year just come from coastal regions．Meanwhile，ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine （海洋的）animals every year．Nearly 700 species，including endangered ones，are known to have been affected by it．Some are harmed visibly，stuck by abandoned things made of plastic．Many more are probably harmed invisibly．Marine species of all sizes，from zooplankton to whales，now eat microplastics，the bits smaller than one-fifth of an inch across．"This isn't a problem where we don't know what the solution is，" says Ted Siegler， a Vermont resource economist who has spent more than 25 years working with developing nations on garbage．"We know how to pick up garbage．Anyone can do it．We know how to deal with it．We know how to recycle．" It's a matter of building the necessary institutions and systems，he says，ideally before the ocean turns into a thin soup of plastic．Why does the author mention the Pilgrims in paragraph 1？______A．To prove plastic was difficult to invent．B．To introduce what marine animals like eating．C．To tell the Pilgrims contributed a lot to the marine protection．D．To show plastic waste has a lasting effect on the ocean．What's the main trouble marine animals face according to the text？______A．Lacking protection．B．Being stuck by plastics．C．Being caught by humans．D．Treating plastics as food．What does Ted Siegler want to tell us in the last paragraph？______A．Some people don't know the solution of plastics waste．B．Plastics will turn the ocean into a soup of plastic．C．It's time to take measures to deal with plastic waste．D．People should avoid using plastics to protect the ocean．From which is the text probably taken？______A． A biology textbook．B． A travel brochure．C．An environmental report．D． A lifestyle magazine．30. A study found wireless signals are able to pass through bags and suitcases to judge thesizes of dangerous metal objects and identify them．"These items could includeweapons，chemicals，laptops and batteries for bombs，'' the research team said on Tuesday．Research suggested that Wi-Fi can now be used to estimate the volume of liquids such as water，acid，alcohol and other chemicals for explosive material．The study led by researchers at the Wireless Information Network Laboratory （WINLAB）in the School of Engineering showed a wireless device with two to three antennas （天线）that could be fitted in existing Wi-Fi networks．The detection system analyzes what happens when wireless signals go through andbounce off objects or materials．The approach，which the paper states，works by separating the wireless interference （干扰）caused by two factors of objects-the material and shape．"Most dangerous objects such as weapons are usually metal or liquid，which have significant interference，" researchers said．When it was tested on a backpack，the accuracy rate topped 95 percent．"But theaccuracy dropped to about 90 percent when objects inside bags are wrapped．And the tech could save lives if used in museums，stadiums，theme parks or schools，" the team said，noting its design can inspect bags or luggage without being an exposure to privacy．It uses channel state information （CSI）that is readily available in low-cost Wi-Fidevices．"This could have a great impact on protecting the public from dangerousobjects，" said Yingying Chen， a co-author of the study，"There's a growing need for that now．In large public areas，it's hard to set up expensive screening equipment like what's in airports．Manpower is always needed to check bags and we want to develop a method to try to reduce manpower．''The peer-reviewed study，which recently won a best paper award at the 2018 IEEEConference on Communications and Network Security，is now publishedonline．"Future work will continue to focus on ameliorating the accuracy of identifying objects and imaging shapes and volumes，'' researchers said．What does paragraph 3 talk about？______A．The function of the technique．B．The way the device works．C．The principle the study is based on．D．The benefit of the study findings．What's the advantage of the device？______A．It saves people in danger of natural disasters．B．It passes through bags without damaging them．C．It uses antennas to pick up networks' signals．D．It protects personal information from being disturbed．Why did the researchers study the device according to Yingying Chen？______A．To save money and labour．B．To make full use of Wi-Fi．C．To protect passengers' privacy．D．To research dangerous objects．Which of the following can replace the underlined word "ameliorating" in the last paragraph？______A．Confirming．B．Improving．C．Discovering．D．Examining．五、短文改错（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）31.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文．文中共有 10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处．每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改．增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（ A

AMoringa Farm Internship ProgramDA TE： 5 May?30 November 2019LOCATION: Jaipur IndiaEVENT TYPE：TwiningEVENT INDUSTRY/TOPIC: Clean Energy, Climate & Environment, Food & Agriculture and Quality/ProcessManagemMoringa (辣木), a kind of miracle tree, has come a long way today to become a symbol of the fight against growingnutrition deficiency (营养不足) across the globe. It is also a crop suited to the climatic conditions of the region, which isunusually rich in its nutrition content literally from top to bottom.Supporting learning：The Moringa Farm Internship Program is sort of like a live, interactive slideshow of agriculture making of Moringafrom “Soil to Super food” that touches all the participant’s senses.The Program’s Objectives：The Moringa Farm Internship Program is devoted to enriching the knowledge and lives of young people by providingthem with a unique educational experience on an organic Moringa Farm in rural Jaipur, India. Program participants canlearn about conservation, maintenance (维护), care, and management of Moringa Farming by means of hands-on workexperience with local Moringa Farm staff.Participants will be able to interact with Moringa specialists and educators, on all issues that may affect theiroperations. Experts will let you know management strategies and equipment operation up close on hand to answer yourspecific questions.The Moringa Farm Internship will provide an excellent opportunity to learn about sustainable tools, techniques, andapproaches that can be used in Moringa Production and value-added production systems, righting (突出) pest and disease management, leaf/seed production, and tools and equipment for commercial production.If you’re trying to learn about Moringa, there’s nothing like going to a farm and getting your hands dirty. So c to register now!1. Why is Moringa specifically described in the text?A. To stress the importance of the crop.B. To encourage people to plant Moringa.C. To show the significance of the program.D. To draw attention to nutrition deficiency.2. What can we know about the Moringa Farm Internship Program?A. It is intended for farmers.B. It lasts more than half a year.C. It provides vocational training.D. It is available on the Internet.3. How do the program’s participants learn about Moringa?A. By attending various courses about it.B. By involving themselves in farming it.C. By observing specialists and educators.D. By watching slideshows about the crop."Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday?" Lindsey whispers to Tori.With her eyes shining, Tori brags, "You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago."Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedman, I can tell you that whatthey are saying is （a）not nice and （b）not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students hereat Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip （闲话）.I have noticed three effects of gossip:it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreadsinformation about a topic—breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out—that a person would rather keep sec more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is theabsolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip:the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor （传言）can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the "in group". In otherwords, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority （优越感）.Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. ProfessorDavid Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, thismeans that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet thatwearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do's and don'ts conveyed throughgossip will never show up in any student handbook.The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, thinkabout why you want to gossip and what effects your "juicy story" might have.4. The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to _________.A. introduce a topicB. present an argumentC. describe the charactersD. clarify his writing purpose5. An important negative effect of gossip is that it ___________.A. breaks up relationshipsB. embarrasses the listenerC. spreads information aroundD. causes unpleasant experiences6. Professor David Wilson thinks that gossip can ____________.A. provide students with written rulesB. help people watch their own behaviorsC. force school to improve student handbooksD. attract the police's attention to group behaviors7. What advice does the author give in the passage?A. Never become a gossiperB. Stay away from gossipersC. Don't let gossip turn into liesD. Think twice before you gossipPeople like to post their selfies(自拍照) on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University inNew York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected tonarcissism(自恋), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media ismostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people tosatisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found.Some people feel “peer(同伴) pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of anevent or experience, it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies andhow often they use editing software. But men who post selfies showed more of a need to be seen as popular than womenwho posted selfies.Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. Ontrips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bringback photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how niceeveryone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your---comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at pho even if they click “like”．8. What is the research mainly about?A. The ways of making people look better in selfies.B. The reasons for people posting selfies on social media.C. The differences between men and women in posting selfies.D. The connections between posting selfies and mental health.9. What does the word “vanity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. A deep desire to know about something.B. A special need to be more popular.D. Strong determination to improve oneself.C. Too much pride in one’s own appearance.10. What is Chock’s attitude towards selfie posting?A. Ambiguous.B. Cautious.C. Disapproving.D. Supportive.11. From the last paragraph, we know that the older generations showed their photos to friends and family ______.A. to win praise from viewersB. to show off their camerasC. to improve relationshipsD. to share good momentsDIt used to be mostly the army that used small, unpiloted aircraft, called “drones”. The little plane as they have dropped in price more people have begun to use them.The fast rate of development of computer technology, image sensing equipment, satellite navigation and smart phoneshas led to lower-priced drones. Researchers and developers have learned how to build smaller and less costly drones. Nowadays, moviemakers are using drones to film from the sky. Historians use them when they explore ancient buildings.Rescue workers use them to look for people. And now farmers are also using them to watch over their crops.Romain Faroux is a French businessman, whose father was a farmer. He believed drones could help farmers. He hashelped create a company which has developed a small drone that could be controlled by people on the ground. ItIt uses a special sensor to examine crops. The technology used on the drone is similar to that used on a “Agridrone”.smartphone -- except it has wings. A computer program directs the drone to fly over the crops. The sensor on the dronerecords four different-colored “bands” of sunlight that are reflected off the crops.Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is another farmer in France who is using a drone. He says the drone flies over his crops atdifferent times of the season and provides a lot of information about his crops. The pictures taken by the drone show himthe exact amount of fertilizer the crops need. It also shows exactly where the fertilizer is needed.Romain Faroux says farmers use information provided by the Agridrone to place fertilizer only in areas where it isneeded. This saves money and reduces pollution. Before they used the drones, farmers would put the same amount of fertilizer everywhere. Drones also save time because farmers can examine up to three hectares (英亩) in about a minute.12. Why do rescue workers and farmers begin to use drones?A. Because they are affordable now.B. Because their sizes have become smaller.C. Because they can save people a lot of time.D. Because the technology has been developed.13. What is the sensor on the drone mainly used for?A. Helping the sunlight shine on the crops.B. Directing the wings to fly over the crops.C. Examining the different colors of the crops.D. Recording the sunlight “bands” reflected off the crops.14. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. A smartphone.B. A sensor.C. A drone.D. A band.15. What is the main idea of the text?A. Crops will be harvested by drones soon.B. Drones will be widely used in different fields.C. French farmers use drones to examine their crops.D. Farmers develop special drones for their crops.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。

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.

RelievedD. ExcitedBRecently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey on thousands of people caught my eyes. We saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many human interesting stories during my career. 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.

Alvarado organized his workers to bake much bread.B. Hurricane Harvey caused a power failure in Houston.C. The staff in the bakery sent enough flour to emergency centers.D. 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. Wait for the Eventual Rescue in a Big DisasterC. All Kinds of Disasters Caused by Hurricane Harvey in HoustonD. 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 to 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。

Rhino．B. Leopard．C. Lion．D. Buffalo．BWhile staring out of the window during a flight，not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplaneshave rounded windows rather than square ones．Over the years，aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology，meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster．The planes have also changed shape to increase safety-including the windows．As commercial air travel took off in the mid-20th century，airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their cost-the air density（密度）is lower up there，creating less drag（阻力）for airplanes．However，higher altitudes came with problems，like the fact human beings can't really survive at 30，000 feet．T o make that possible，the cabin was changed to a cylindrical（圆柱体）shape to support the pressure inside．But at first，plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster．The deHavillandComet came into fashion in the 1950s．With a closed cabin，it was able to go higher and faster than other aircraft．However，where there's a corner，there's a weak spot．Windows，having four corners，have four potential weak spots，making them likely to crash under stress-such as air pressure．By curving the window，the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced．Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation（变形），and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft．Fortunately，designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick．Now we have nice，rounded airplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude．It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35，000 feet a whole new outlook，doesn't it？4.Why did airlines aim to fly at higher altitudes？______A. To increase safety of the plane．B. To help the plane to take off．C. To save money for less drag．D. To carry more passengers and go faster．5.What does the underlined words "de Havilland Comet" in Paragraph 2 refer to？______A. A planet．B. A band．C. An aircraft．D. A design．6.Which is the advantage of the rounded window？______A. It reduces the possibility of breaking up．B. It weakens the strength of air pressure．C. It increases the air pressure．D. It helps to survive the extreme weather．7.Where does this text come from？______A. A newspaper on safe driving．B. A magazine on fashion design．C. A website on survival skills．D. A science book on flying．CThe hemlock（铁杉）trees along the Wappinger Creek，New York，look healthy．However，scientist Gary Lovett says the white balls which provide protection for the bugs are created by a tiny insect．It's hard to believe the tiny bug could kill a tree．However，trees can end up with millions and millions of the pests．When there are that many，it ends up killing the tree．The bug from East Asia is slowly killing trees across the USA．The trouble-making bug is just one of many invasive（入侵的）pests that have slipped into the United States．They canhurt other living things in their new home．Many invasive pests arrive on wooden pallets piled inside shipping containers．They support and separate goods，and keep them from sliding around．Invasive pests often tunnel into the pallets．How can we stop pests from riding on pallets？Lovett says new rules are needed．The companies that make pallets don't want more rules．Congress has added an amendment（修正案）in the 2018 Farm Bill to try and prevent this problem．However，Lovett is not hopeful it will make much of a difference．Pallets are checked by inspectors．Many are sprayed with bug-killing pesticide．"I believe in the system，" said Brent McClendon，president of The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association．He also said shipping containers are checked very carefully．Still，each year 13 million containers are shipped to the U．S．Each is full of wooden pallets ．Lovett says："Inspectors can't possibly check everything．All it takes are a few bad pallets ；we should get rid of wooden pallets．" He believes pallets should be made of plastic or eco-composite wood．Eco-composite wood is a mix of wood fiber and plastic．Insects cannot hide into it．One problem is that these choices cost more．They may be worth the extra money，though．Invasive pests cost the U．S．﹩5 billion a year．Trees don't just die in forests．They also die in cities and our yards．Then，they need to be replaced．That costs money，too．8.All the statements are TRUE except that ______ ．A. pesticide has been applied to bug-killingB. invasive pests are native to Wappinger CreekC. invasive pests hide in pallets used in shippingD. the companies making pallets don't want more rules9.What can we infer from the passage？______A. Bugs can be easily spotted by eyes．B. Bugs ruin the shipping goods slowly．C. Bugs won't bother the tree if just in few numbers．D. Bugs cover trees with white soft balls for protection．10.Why does Gary Lovett want to get rid of wooden pallets？______A. Because insects mostly die in them．B. Because plastic pallets are eco-friendly．C. Because they are not worth extra money．D. Because they are the major pest carriers．11.What does the passage mainly talk about？______A. Invasive pests are harming plants in the USA．B. Effective measures have stopped the pest invasion．C. Congress contributes a lot to dealing with invasive pests．D. Ecosystem in the USA is poorly damaged by invasive woods．DHave you ever spent an afternoon in the backyard，maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball game，when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet？There is an old phrase "calm before the storm"，often used in a situation-a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement．According to our own experience，we know there is actually calm before the storm．But what causes this calm？And is it always calm before the storm？Let's hear what scientists have to say．A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm，the simplest kind of storm-asingle-cell thunderstorm．In this type of thunderstorm，there is usually only one main updraft，which is warm，damp airand drawn from places near the ground．Storms need warm and damp air as fuel，so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment．Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directions-even from the direction in which the storm is traveling．As the warm，damp air is pulled into a storm system，it leaves a low-pressure vacuum（真空）coming after．The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds，thus the temperature of the warm，damp air drops，and the water vapour（水蒸汽）in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain．These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dust，until they grow large enough to form raindrops．This warm，damp air keeps moving upwards，but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud．When it reaches the top of the cloud，the air gets spit out（被挤出）at the top．This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds．From there，the air goes down．Warm and dry air is relatively stable，and once it covers a region，that air，in turn ，causes the calm before a storm．Most thunderstorms，though，don't start with calm．That's because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns．There's so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens．Instead，before the storm，it might be really windy!12.Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm？______A. A thunderstorm with a single shape．B. A thunderstorm without strong winds．C. A storm with air drawn from every direction．D. A storm fueled by moving air from the ground．13.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to？______A. Cold and dry air．B. Warm and dry air．C. Cold and damp air．D. Warm and damp air．14.Which does the writer most likely agree to？______A. Presence of the calm relies on stable air．B. Not all thunderstorms start with the calm．C. The drier the air is，the bigger the storm will be．D. Storm happens without air moving up and down．15.What is the passage mainly about？______A. Causes and effects of a heavy storm．B. A brief description of a peaceful storm．C. A personal experience of a heavy storm．D. An explanation of the calm before a storm．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）We are surrounded by messages trying to get our attention．Advertisers，politicians and other groups all try to get us to agree with them．(1) ．Propaganda is not always a bad thing ，but it often hides the truth about a topic．It's very similar to advertising，whose goal is to get people to buy something，while propaganda is to change what people believe．Propaganda TechniquesTo create propaganda，a common technique is name-calling．A politician might call someone a traitor or liar，which makes the other person look bad．Another is the trend technique．People want to be on the side in the favor．(2) ．Some propaganda is based on fear．It scares peopleinto choosing a certain side or taking action，which might not be bad ．Anti-smoking campaigns are one example．They may scare people into thinking that if they smoke，they will get cancer．(3) Propaganda is used by many groups，such as businesses，politicians and thegovernment．It is spread through posters，television and radio．The Internet makes it easy to send messages to the whole world．Types of PropagandaPolitical propaganda has been around as long as there have been politicians．(4) ．People have used it for many years．War propaganda began during World War I，more than 100 years ago．To see if propaganda is saying the truth，people need to do extra work．For example，ads might always sound like they're true．But before you believe them，try to think about who created and paid for them．Find out why they did it．(5) ．A．Propaganda TargetsB．Propaganda MediumsC．Another word for this is propagandaD．So most people will agree with those politiciansE．Then，you can decide if they're being honest or notF．However，religious propaganda was actually the first official oneG．People might join someone who claims to be popular or winning16.

体贴的；constant持续的．John死后的二十年里，作者作为护士看见了不计其数的死亡，即countless．constant表示动作的持续，不符合文意，故选D．16．C．考查名词及语境理解．句意：我看到护士为了确保临死的患者可以走得安详舒坦，做了很多工作范围之外的事情．expectations期望；ability能力；qualifications合格；exception例外．作者的实习经历讲述了医护人员对患者的关心和照顾，所以此处应该是医护人员帮助患者，做了很多工作范围之外的事情，即超出了工作的预期，故选C．17．D．考查动词及语境理解．句意：我看到护士为了确保临死的患者可以走得安详舒坦，做了很多工作范围之外的事情．pretend 假装；ensure确保；believe相信；assume 假设．医护人员做出超出工作预期的事情是为了确保临死的患者可以走得安详舒坦，故选D．18．B．考查形容词及语境理解．句意：我还记得其他一些病人的脸庞，但是对John依旧记忆犹新． beautiful美丽的； scary恐怖的；pale苍白的； vivid生动的．此处描述的是作者对John的记忆，这么多年过去了，作者对John依旧记忆犹新，John的一切依旧历历在目．所以选vivid表示"生动清晰的"．前文中的beautiful是用来形容John的笑容，放在这里不合适，故选B．19．A．考查动词及语境理解．句意：他和照顾他的专业人员教会了我对待垂死患者的方式是一件非常重要的事情．bringing up抚养；looking for寻找； caring for照顾；cheering up使振奋．由作者对实习经历的描述可知医护人员对患者是进行照顾，即care for，故选A．20．D．考查动词及语境理解．句意：对待垂死患者的方式是一件非常重要的事情．trains 训练；matters重要；influences影响；works工作．作者的实习经历教导了作者：医护人员对待垂死患者的方式是一件非常重要的事情，即matter表示"要紧、重要"，故选D．本文属于叙事说理文，讲述作者当护士的时候，遇见一个叫John 即将死亡的人，护士精心照顾他，使他能够走的安详平静，这也让作者领悟了：对待垂死患者的方式是一件非常重要的事情．近几年高考试题中的完形填空有新的变化，试题所涉及的知识面不断拓宽，综合难度不断提高．做完型填空首先要通读全文，了解大意．一篇完形填空的文章有许多空格，所以，必须先通读一至两遍，才能大概了解文章的内容．千万不要看一句，做一句．其次要逐句分析，前后一致．选择答案时，要考虑整个句子的内容，包括搭配、时态、语法等．答案全填完后，再通读一遍文章，检查是否通顺流畅了，用词得当，意思正确．41.【答案】【小题1】to【小题2】its 【小题3】shows【小题4】are【小题5】where【小题6】creativity 【小题7】being read【小题8】published【小题9】naturally【小题10】has beencommitted【解析】（1）to．介词考查．《见字如面》这档电视节目正将这一保持联系的老方式带回到现代人的视野．bring…to…固定搭配．所以填to．（2）its．代词考查．《见字如面》其想法源于一档类似的英国节目Letters Live，该节目于2013年首播．故填its．（3）shows．考查上下文语篇理解，此处缺名词，feature为谓语动词，且有both修饰则应该填复数形式．所以填shows．（4）are．主谓一致就近原则考查．两档节目均无惊人的视觉效果或是常规的娱乐活动．所以填are．（5）where．连词考查．先行词在定语从句中充当状语．所以填where．（6）creativity．考查词性转换．例如，节目里有一封30年前著名画家黄永玉写给剧作家曹禺的充满激情的信件，批评他缺乏创造力．所以填creativity．（7）being read．非谓语动词考查．听信时，我们仿佛回到过去，身临其境．现在分词作hear的宾语补充说明，与下文中as if we are being sent back呼应表示正在被听．所以填being read．（8）published．非谓语动词考查．过去分词作定语修饰texts．表示与其他出版文字相比，信件中自然地流露出个人感触．所以填published．（9）naturally．副词考查．此处用副词修饰动词，naturally是副词"自然地"，所以填naturally．（10）has been committed．动词时态考查．《见字如面》从开播至今还致力于推广中国文学．由since可知此处应用现在完成时．所以填has been committed．本文为说明性记叙文，介绍电视节目《见字如面》．语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力，在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，在读懂短文的基础上，结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析．要解决好语法填空，离不开坚实的语法知识，有了坚实的语法知识才能对语言进行正确的分析和判断，从而。
2020届河南省郑州市高考英语一模试卷含答案
高考英语全真模拟卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AA month ago, I broke a nail. My other nails looked amazing, but now one was a mess. Clearly, there was no point in keeping the others, so I took out the nail scissors to cut them all off．"What are you doing, Mom?" my daughter cried, "your nails look great! Don't cut them!""But they're ruined," I said, waving the broken one in her face．"They're not ruined," she said．"You still have nine nails left!"I hesitated, with the scissors still in my hand．My nails certainly weren't perfect anymore, and the opposite of "perfect" is "ruined", right? I mean, this is how I think about most things: it's all or nothing．Take my finances for example．I can spend weeks being sensible and buying only essential items, such as food for my family. And then one day, I'll see something expensive that I really like and buy it. Then, I think to myself, "well, I already spent 100 dollars on that dress last week, so I may as well spend 50 dollars on this lipstick (口红)" and give up saving entirely, I've thought about why I act this way, but I don't know what causes this behavior. I seem to go from "good" to "complete disaster" in a matter of moments. My brain only sees "perfect" or "disaster", which is extremely unhelpful.We humans are never just good or bad—we are far more complex. We have wins and we have losses and, occasionally, they are hard to tell apart. Some people understand this instinctively (本能地), while others struggle．For most of us, learning not to do the thing we're used to requires effort and discomfort. However, we should remind ourselves that we sometimes make mistakes, and that this doesn't mean we've failed．We need to accept that things will sometimes go wrong．Indeed, failure is part of life．We all fall occasionally, and we normally get straight back up. And so, with my daughter's words ringing in my ears, I decided to keep my nine nice nails. I feel annoyed every time I look at my hands, but I'm determined to live with my choice．It's a perfect exercise in imperfection. Maybe soon, I'll switch off my computer the next time I feel like I might buy something else I don't need, although I may need my daughter there to guide me again.1.Why did the author want to cut off her nails?A. She got all of them ruined．B. She didn't like long nails at all.C. She didn't want to have imperfect nails.D. She wanted to prevent them being broken.2.what is the author's problem with her life?A. She is rather crazy about shopping．B. She looks at life in an extreme way.C. She is too careful with her finances.D. She is unwilling to change her mind．3.What does the author think of failure?A. It is just a normal part of life．B. It can help people to be stronger.C. It can completely destroy our life．D. It is something we need to overcome．BMy son Sam is 16 and autistic（自闭症）．There's a lot of going on in that beautiful and brilliant mind of his，but even on a good day he can be easily at a loss．Throw in some diagnosed anxiety，an inability to read social cues（信号）and an unexpected change to his daily routine，and you have the way to deal with a very public meltdown（崩溃）．It was Sam's very first day at high school．We'd set up a plan for how he'd get home：I'd pick him up outside the shop near his school at 3：30 pm and I believed this was a perfect plan．Unknown to me，very bad weather was on its way and I was unable to warm him to take a shelter．With the combination of his dead phone battery and my dead car battery，I was running late and unable to communicate that to him．As a result，he was left alone and extremely frightened．He became very upset outside the shop，exactly where I'd told him to wait．This was when a beautiful older Vietnamese lady not only went to CHECK ON him，but took him inside her shop，calmed him down，got my phone number form him and called me．Five years later he continued to go into her shop every afternoon，bought a drink，had a chat and she sent him home with enough bread and rolls to feed a small nation．Sam will graduate this year，and I'm increasingly feeling the need to drop by the shop to let this wonderful lady know that she has saved Sam，and that she has saved me．I'm not sure if I can communicate all of this，but at least I will get to thank her．There are people I will not get to thank，though-the many kind strangers who have been there for Sam．And believe me，if you're wondering if this world is a complete mess right now ，I'm here to say that is not．So I guess this is a love letter to those of you who have helped a stranger out of the goodness of your heart．Pleased know hyou are appreciated，that your beautiful heart and kindness are appreciated ，and that ，perhaps unknowingly，you have make a great difference in someone's life．4.What can we learn about Sam from the first paragraph？______A. He is rather slow with his studiesB. He can deal with sudden changes wellC. He has difficulty in dealing with thingsD. He tries hard to learn how to read social cues5.The underlined part "check on "in paragraph 4 probably means" ______ "A. discoverB. visitC. recognizeD. examine6.What happened to Sam after his first day at high school？______A. He could get on well with his classmatesB. He made good friends with the nice ladyC. He brought the lady some food to thank herD. he became willing to communicate with others．7.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？______A. To express her thanks to kind peopleB. To remind us all to help autistic peopleC. To show how difficult life is for autistic peopleD. To tell us how to make a difference in other's lives．CIf you've ever had a dog，you know just how deep a connection you can develop with "man's best friend"．But a dog's life is much shorter than humans，about 12to 15years long，which means every dog owner has to go through the heartbreaking moment when their loving their loving pet passes away．Why not make a clone of that dog then？This is the solution offered by a South Korea company，Sooam Biotech Research Foundation．The company has already successfully cloned at least 400 dogs，mostly for US customers，ever s9ince it pioneered the technique in 2005．Now ，sooam Biotech has introduced its business to UK dog owners as well，offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones．To clone a dog，researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died．Meanwhile，another dog is selected to supply an egg．Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from skin cell and implant the egg into the womb（子宫）of a female dog．The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months．The whole process takes less than a day，but it comes at a shockingly high price -around 63000 dollars．But if you can't afford it now，you can also save the cell in a laboratory and access it at a later date．However，magical as cloning might sound，there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the original one．Just like identical twins of human，they share the exactly same DNA but there will still be small differences between them．"the spots on a Dalmatian （斑点狗）clone will be different，for example，" Insung Hwang，head of Sooam Biotech，told The Guardian．Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not "clneable"．Apart from genes，personality is also determined by upbringing and environment，which are both ranoom elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome，Professor Tom Kirkwood at Newcastle University，UK，told The Telegraph．Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after all．Kirkwood，a dog owner himself，pointed out，"An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go．8.What service does Sooam Biotech Researcher Foundation offer？______A. Making copies of pet dogs．B. Giving pet dogs identical twinsC. Helping dogs give birth to more puppiesD. Helping dog owners love their dogs more9.Which order is correct in the dog cloning process？______a．An egg is taken from another dogb．a skin cell is taken from the pet dogc．The egg grows into a puppy in two monthsd．The egg is placed in the womb of a female doge．The DNA in the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell．A. a-d-b-e-cB. a-e-b-d-cC. b-a-d-e-cD. b-a-c-d-c10.What can we learn about dog clonign from the passage？______A. it has not been put into practice until recentlyB. it is very popular among US and UK pet ownerC. it might not give the owners an exactly same dog．D. it is very expensive and usually takes half a year to complete．11.What does Kirkwood think of dog cloning？______A. He disagrees with itB. He supports itC. He is courious about itD. He thinks it unbelievableDAre you a procrastinator（拖拉者）？It's a common problem．And it can be harmful，as previous research has shown that people who procrastinate have higher levels of stress and lower well-being，reported the Asoociation for psychological Science in the US．But a new study has found a way to deal with problem：Be more connected to your future self．Psychologists think that each person believe that they are really two people："Present Me" and "Future Me"．"people act as if they perfer their current selves' needs and desires to those of their future selves，" wrote pyschologists Neil Lewis and Daphna Oyserman．Oyserman and Lewis decided to try to find a way to make "Present Me"imagine exactly how "Future Me" would feel the night before a big paper was due，though "Present Me" hadn't started yet．They made "Present Me" think about a far-off event as a number of days away，not months or years．Thinking about events in this way meant that something like a friend's wedding seemed 16.3 days sooner when considered in days rather than months and 11.4 months sooner when considered in months rather than years．The researchers also tried to find out whether people would take action sooner if they were told a certain event was happening in X days rather than years．For example ，participants imagined they had a newborn child，and that the child would need to go to college in either 18 years or 6570 days．The researchers found those in the "days"condition planned to start saving four times sooner than those in the"years" condition．So if you think of your life in days instead of years，you may get things done quicker．12.What did Oyserman and Lewis intend to do through their study？______A. To work on a solution to test if someone is a procrastinator．B. To find out whether human beings usually have two different charactersC. To discover procrastinators are more likely to have a lower sense of well-beingD. To prove it's helpful to connect our current selves more with future selves．13.The underlined part "this way"in paragraph 4 refers to " ______ "A. setting up tough deadlinesB. following schedules strictlyC. counting in smaller units of timeD. imagining how your future self will feel14.What helps prevent people from procrastinating？______A. Comparing their future selves with present selvesB. Considering their current selves' nees and desires．C. Thinking about far-off events in days rather than yearsD. Marking important events on a calendar as a reminder15.What does the passage mainly talk about？______A. A way to get things done in time．B. The harmful effects of procrastinatingC. The reason to overlook future needs and desiresD. The way to reduce stress and improve happiness二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）If you're a gamer who's constantly glued to your phone，it could be time to ask for medical help．On June 18，2018，the World Health Organization（WHO）officially listed "gaining disorder" as a mental health condition (1) ．"Video gaming is like a non-financial kind of gambiling （赌博）from a psychological poingt of view，" Mark Griffiths，a professor from Nottingham Trent University in the UK，told the Associated Press（AP）．" Gamblers use money as a way of keeping score，while gamers use points．"(2) ．"people need to understand this doesn't mean every child who spends hours in their room playing games is an addict，otherwise doctors are going to be flooded with requests for help，"Joan Harvey，a spokeswoman for the British Paychological Society，told AP．(3) For example，a 21-year -old Chinese woman surnamed Wu in Guangdong rovince went blind in one eye after playing the mobile game King of Glory for a whole day．On days when I have no work，I usually get up at 6am，eat breakfast and play until 4 pm，"she told the South China Morning Post．Then I'll eat something，have a nap（小睡）and play until 1 am．" Wu isn't alone．According to a study published by China Youth Daily，about one in five young Chinese peope play online video games for at least four to five hours perday．(4) In April，the Ministry of Education issued a notice asking Chinese schools and parents to prevent students from becoming addicted to the Internet and game．Other countries have also taken action．(5) Meanwhile，in Japan，some mobile phones have a special mode for children that lets their parents control what games they can download and how long they can play．A．This means it's now on the same list as other mental illnessesB．Thankfully，meansures have been taken to deal with the problem．C．We often see people around us playing games on their mobile phonesD．In South Korea，children are forbidden to play video games after midnight．E．WHO's main work is to improve the mental health of individuals and societyF．But if you lose control over your gaming habits，you'll face serious problems．D．However，it doesn't matter if you play your favorite game now and then．16.

At the Point Lobos State Reserve．3.Why does the author write this passage？______A. To introduce some picnic areas．B. To share personal stories about picnics．C.

In a travel magazine．D. In a geography textbook．BSolar energy systems&power plants do not produce air pollution，water pollution，or greenhouse gases．Using solar energy can have a positive，indirect effect on the environment，when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment．However，some poisonous materials and chemicals are used to make the photovoltaic （光电池的）cells thatconvert sunlight into electricity．Some solar thermal （保热的）systems use potentially hazardous liquids to transfer heat．Leaks of these materials could be harmful to the environment．U．S．environmental laws regulate the use and settlement of these types of materials．As with any type of power plant，large solar power plants can affect the environment near their locations．The placement of the power plant may have long-term effects on the habitats of native plants and animals．Some solar power plants may require water for cleaning solar collectors and concentrators or for cooling turbine generators．Using large volumes of ground water or surface water in some dry locations may affect the ecosystems that depend on these water resources．In addition，the beam of concentrated sunlight a solar power tower creates can kill birds and insects that fly into the beam．The amount of solar energy that the earth receives each day is many times greater than the total amount of all energy that people consume each day．However，on the surace of the earth，solar energy is a variable and irregular energy source．The amount of sunlight and the intensity of sunlight varies by time of day and location．Weather and climate conditions affect the availability of sunlight daily and on a seasonal basis．The type and size of a soIar energy collection and conversion system determines how much of the available solar energy we can convert into useful energy．5.Which of the following best explains "hazardous" underlined in paragraph 2？______A. inexpensiveB. dangerousC. ineffectiveD. abnormal6.What influence can large solar power plants have on the locations？______A. Polluting the ground water．B. Protecting the habitats of plants and animals．C. Damaging the local natural balance．D. Attracting birds and insects to the area．7.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us？______A. Different areas receive different amount of solar energy．B. How to convert solar energy into useful energy．C. The relationship between solar energy collection and the sunlight．D. Some factors that influence the amount of solar energy collection．CDigital grounding（限制）is when parents or caregivers limit or completely take away access to technology from children．According to a study conducted by Pew Research，65% of parents have digitally grounded their teen by taking away their teen's cellphone or Internet access as punishment．Because children are so connected with their technologies，digital grounding may seem like a logical step for parents．Take away a child's most cherished item and they will quickly learn from their behavior．But the idea of digital grounding isn't as clear-cut as that．Instead，it may be a lose-lose situation for parents and kids，alike．For most parents，the goal of grounding isn't to make their children unhappy or sad．It is toteach a lesson in the hope that they won't engage in whatever behavior got them in trouble in the first place．Unfortunately，though，digital grounding is often just punishment，not discipline．If a child stays out past curfew（约定的最晚回家时间），a punishment would be hitting or yelling at them．Discipline would be not letting them go out the next weekend because they failed to follow rules．We've all been there-we've caught our child doing something wrong and in the heat of the moment laid out a strict punishment．We may have been feeling hot-headed，embarrassed，or upset．Often，though，these punishments don't align（结盟）with the bad behavior．While digital grounding may solve the problem temporarily，it won't provide children with the guidance theyneed to act appropriately in the future．Instead of grounding，show your child what they did wrong and give them the chance to act differently．This way，they will learn from their mistakes in a practical manner and figure out ways to be safe and smart with technology．There's no denying it：technology is here for the long-haul．This is why some parenting experts don't recommend digitally grounding your children．It doesn't focus on the end goal of safe behavior．They recommend teaching them good habits as soon as possible，rather than taking away their technology．By digitally grounding them，you are putting a bandage over the wound，rather than treating it．Now，when we say that digital grounding is a lose-lose situation，we're not saying that disciplining your children in general is a lose-lose situation．Discipline is a great way to teach children lessons，when used appropriately．8.Which of the following is a proper form of discipline according to the author？______A.

2020届河南省郑州市高考英语一模试卷含答案
高考英语全真模拟卷题号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）AA month ago, I broke a nail. My other nails looked amazing, but now one was a mess. Clearly, there was no point in keeping the others, so I took out the nail scissors to cut them all off．"What are you doing, Mom?" my daughter cried, "your nails look great! Don't cut them!""But they're ruined," I said, waving the broken one in her face．"They're not ruined," she said．"You still have nine nails left!"I hesitated, with the scissors still in my hand．My nails certainly weren't perfect anymore, and the opposite of "perfect" is "ruined", right? I mean, this is how I think about most things:it's all or nothing．Take my finances for example．I can spend weeks being sensible and buying only essential items, such as food for my family. And then one day, I'll see something expensive that I really like and buy it. Then, I think to myself, "well, I already spent 100 dollars on that dress last week, so I may as well spend 50 dollars on this lipstick (口红)" and give up saving entirely, I've thought about why I act this way, but I don't know what causes this behavior. I seem to go from "good" to "complete disaster" in a matter of moments. My brain only sees "perfect" or "disaster", which is extremely unhelpful.We humans are never just good or bad—we are far more complex. We have wins and we have losses and, occasionally, they are hard to tell apart. Some people understand this instinctively (本能地), while others struggle．For most of us, learning not to do the thing we're used to requires effort and discomfort. However, we should remind ourselves that we sometimes make mistakes, and that this doesn't mean we've failed．We need to accept that things will sometimes go wrong．Indeed, failure is part of life．We all fall occasionally, and we normally get straight back up. And so, with my daughter's words ringing in my ears, I decided to keep my nine nice nails. Ifeel annoyed every time I look at my hands, but I'm determined to live with my choice．It's a perfect exercise in imperfection.

Making copies of pet dogs．B. Giving pet dogs identical twinsC. Helping dogs give birth to more puppiesD. Helping dog owners love their dogs more9.Which order is correct in the dog cloning process______a．An egg is taken from another dogb．a skin cell is taken from the pet dogc．The egg grows into a puppy in two monthsd．The egg is placed in the womb of a female doge．The DNA in the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell．A. a-d-b-e-cB. a-e-b-d-cC. b-a-d-e-cD. b-a-c-d-c10.What can we learn about dog clonign from the passage______A. it has not been put into practice until recentlyB. it is very popular among US and UK pet ownerC. it might not give the owners an exactly same dog．D. it is very expensive and usually takes half a year to complete．11.What does Kirkwood think of dog cloning______A. He disagrees with itB. He supports itC. He is courious about itD. He thinks it unbelievableDAre you a procrastinator（拖拉者）？It's a common problem．And it can be harmful，as previous research has shown that people who procrastinate have higher levels of stress and lower well-being，reported the Asoociation for psychological Science in the US．But a new study has found a way to deal with problem：Be more connected to your future self．Psychologists think that each person believe that they are really two people："Present Me" and "Future Me"．"people act as if they perfer their current selves' needs and desires to those of their future selves，" wrote pyschologists Neil Lewis and Daphna Oyserman．Oyserman and Lewis decided to try to find a way to make "Present Me"imagine exactly how "Future Me" would feel the night before a big paper was due，though "Present Me" hadn't started yet．They made "Present Me" think about a far-off event as a number of days away，not months or years．Thinking about events in this way meant that something like a friend's wedding seemed 16.3 days sooner when considered in days rather than months and 11.4 months sooner when considered in months rather than years．The researchers also tried to find out whether people would take action sooner if they were told a certain event was happening in X days rather than years．For example ，participants imagined they had a newborn child，and that the child would need to go to college in either 18 years or 6570 days．The researchers found those in the "days"condition planned to start saving four times sooner than those in the"years" condition．So if you think of your life in days instead of years，you may get things done quicker．12.What did Oyserman and Lewis intend to do through their study______A. To work on a solution to test if someone is a procrastinator．B. To find out whether human beings usually have two different charactersC. To discover procrastinators are more likely to have a lower sense of well-beingD. To prove it's helpful to connect our current selves more with future selves．13.The underlined part "this way"in paragraph 4 refers to " ______ "A. setting up tough deadlinesB. following schedules strictlyC. counting in smaller units of timeD. imagining how your future self will feel14.What helps prevent people from procrastinating______A. Comparing their future selves with present selvesB. Considering their current selves' nees and desires．C. Thinking about far-off events in days rather than yearsD. Marking important events on a calendar as a reminder15.What does the passage mainly talk about______A. A way to get things done in time．B. The harmful effects of procrastinatingC. The reason to overlook future needs and desiresD. The way to reduce stress and improve happiness二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）If you're a gamer who's constantly glued to your phone，it could be time to ask for medical help．On June 18，2018，the World Health Organization（WHO）officially listed "gaining disorder" as a mental health condition (1) ．"Video gaming is like a non-financial kind of gambiling （赌博）from a psychological poingt of view，" Mark Griffiths，a professor from Nottingham Trent University in the UK，told the Associated Press（AP）．" Gamblers use money as a way of keeping score，while gamers use points．"(2) ．"people need to understand this doesn't mean every child who spends hours in their room playing games is an addict，otherwise doctors are going to be flooded with requests for help，"Joan Harvey， a spokeswoman for the British Paychological Society，told AP．(3) For example， a 21-year -old Chinese woman surnamed Wu in Guangdong rovince went blind in one eye after playing the mobile game King of Glory for a whole day．On days when I have no work，I usually get up at 6am，eat breakfast and play until 4 pm，"she told the South China Morning Post．Then I'll eat something，have a nap（小睡）and play until 1 am．" Wu isn't alone．According to a study published by China Youth Daily，about one in five young Chinese peope play online video games for at least four to five hours perday．(4) In April，the Ministry of Education issued a notice asking Chinese schools and parents to prevent students from becoming addicted to the Internet and game．Other countries have also taken action．(5) Meanwhile，in Japan，some mobile phones have a special mode for children that lets their parents control what games they can download and how long they can play．A．This means it's now on the same list as other mental illnessesB．Thankfully，meansures have been taken to deal with the problem．C．We often see people around us playing games on their mobile phonesD．In South Korea，children are forbidden to play video games after midnight．E．WHO's main work is to improve the mental health of individuals and societyF．But if you lose control over your gaming habits，you'll face serious problems．D．However，it doesn't matter if you play your favorite game now and then．16.

Rhino．B. Leopard．C. Lion．D. Buffalo．BWhile staring out of the window during a flight，not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplanes have rounded windows rather than square ones．Over the years，aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology，meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster．The planes have also changed shape to increase safety-including the windows．As commercial air travel took off in the mid-20th century，airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their cost-the air density（密度）is lower up there，creating less drag（阻力）for airplanes．However，higher altitudes came with problems，like the fact human beings can't really survive at 30，000 feet．To make that possible，the cabin was changed to a cylindrical（圆柱体）shape to support the pressure inside．But at first，plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster．The deHavillandComet came into fashion in the 1950s．With a closed cabin，it was able to go higher and faster than other aircraft．However，where there's a corner，there's a weak spot．Windows，having four corners，have four potential weak spots，making them likely to crash under stress-such as air pressure．By curving the window，the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced．Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation（变形），and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft．Fortunately，designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick．Now we have nice，rounded airplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude．It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35，000 feet a whole new outlook，doesn't it？4.Why did airlines aim to fly at higher altitudes？______A. To increase safety of the plane．B. To help the plane to take off．C. To save money for less drag．D. To carry more passengers and go faster．5.What does the underlined words "de Havilland Comet" in Paragraph 2 refer to？______A. A planet．B. A band．C. An aircraft．D. A design．6.Which is the advantage of the rounded window？______A. It reduces the possibility of breaking up．B. It weakens the strength of air pressure．C. It increases the air pressure．D. It helps to survive the extreme weather．7.Where does this text come from？______A. A newspaper on safe driving．B. A magazine on fashion design．C. A website on survival skills．D. A science book on flying．CThe hemlock（铁杉）trees along the Wappinger Creek，New York，look healthy．However，scientist Gary Lovett says the white balls which provide protection for the bugs are created by a tiny insect．It's hard to believe the tiny bug could kill a tree．However，trees can end up with millions and millions of the pests．When there are that many，it ends up killing the tree．The bug from East Asia is slowly killing trees across the USA．The trouble-making bug is just one of many invasive（入侵的）pests that have slipped into the United States．They can hurt other living things in their new home．Many invasive pests arrive on wooden pallets piled inside shipping containers．They support and separate goods，and keep them from sliding around．Invasive pests often tunnel into the pallets．How can we stop pests from riding on pallets？Lovett says new rules are needed．The companies that make pallets don't want more rules．Congress has added an amendment（修正案）in the 2018 Farm Bill to try and prevent this problem．However，Lovett is not hopeful it will make much of a difference．Pallets are checked by inspectors．Many are sprayed with bug-killing pesticide．"I believe in the system，" said Brent McClendon，president of The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association．He also said shipping containers are checked very carefully．Still，each year 13 million containers are shipped to the U．S．Each is full of wooden pallets ．Lovett says："Inspectors can't possibly check everything．All it takes are a few bad pallets ；we should get rid of wooden pallets．" He believes pallets should be made of plastic or eco-composite wood．Eco-composite wood is a mix of wood fiber and plastic．Insects cannot hide into it．One problem is that these choices cost more．They may be worth the extra money，though．Invasive pests cost the U．S．﹩5 billion a year．Trees don't just die in forests．They also die in cities and our yards．Then，they need to be replaced．That costs money，too．8.All the statements are TRUE except that ______ ．A. pesticide has been applied to bug-killingB. invasive pests are native to Wappinger CreekC. invasive pests hide in pallets used in shippingD. the companies making pallets don't want more rules9.What can we infer from the passage？______A. Bugs can be easily spotted by eyes．B. Bugs ruin the shipping goods slowly．C. Bugs won't bother the tree if just in few numbers．D. Bugs cover trees with white soft balls for protection．10.Why does Gary Lovett want to get rid of wooden pallets？______A. Because insects mostly die in them．B. Because plastic pallets are eco-friendly．C. Because they are not worth extra money．D. Because they are the major pest carriers．11.What does the passage mainly talk about？______A. Invasive pests are harming plants in the USA．B. Effective measures have stopped the pest invasion．C. Congress contributes a lot to dealing with invasive pests．D. Ecosystem in the USA is poorly damaged by invasive woods．DHave you ever spent an afternoon in the backyard，maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball game，when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet？There is an old phrase "calm before the storm"，often used in a situation-a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement．According to our own experience，we know there is actually calm before the storm．But what causes this calm？And is it always calm before the storm？Let's hear what scientists have to say．A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm，the simplest kind of storm-asingle-cell thunderstorm．In this type of thunderstorm，there is usually only one main updraft，which is warm，damp air and drawn from places near the ground．Storms needwarm and damp air as fuel，so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment．Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directions-even from the direction in which the storm is traveling．As the warm，damp air is pulled into a storm system，it leaves a low-pressure vacuum（真空）coming after．The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds，thus the temperature of the warm，damp air drops，and the water vapour（水蒸汽）in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain．These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dust，until they grow large enough to form raindrops．This warm，damp air keeps moving upwards，but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud．When it reaches the top of the cloud，the air gets spit out（被挤出）at the top．This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds．From there，the air goes down．Warm and dry air is relatively stable，and once it covers a region，that air，in turn ，causes the calm before a storm．Most thunderstorms，though，don't start with calm．That's because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns．There's so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens．Instead，before the storm，it might be really windy!12.Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm？______A. A thunderstorm with a single shape．B. A thunderstorm without strong winds．C. A storm with air drawn from every direction．D. A storm fueled by moving air from the ground．13.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to？______A. Cold and dry air．B. Warm and dry air．C. Cold and damp air．D. Warm and damp air．14.Which does the writer most likely agree to？______A. Presence of the calm relies on stable air．B. Not all thunderstorms start with the calm．C. The drier the air is，the bigger the storm will be．D. Storm happens without air moving up and down．15.What is the passage mainly about？______A. Causes and effects of a heavy storm．B. A brief description of a peaceful storm．C. A personal experience of a heavy storm．D. An explanation of the calm before a storm．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）We are surrounded by messages trying to get our attention．Advertisers，politicians and other groups all try to get us to agree with them．(1) ．Propaganda is not always a bad thing ，but it often hides the truth about a topic．It's very similar to advertising，whose goal is to get people to buy something，while propaganda is to change what people believe．Propaganda TechniquesTo create propaganda，a common technique is name-calling．A politician might call someone a traitor or liar，which makes the other person look bad．Another is the trend technique．People want to be on the side in the favor．(2) ．Some propaganda is based on fear．It scares people into choosing a certain side or taking action，which might not be bad ．Anti-smoking campaigns are one example．They may scare people into thinking that if they smoke，they will get cancer．(3) Propaganda is used by many groups，such as businesses，politicians and thegovernment．It is spread through posters，television and radio．The Internet makes it easy to send messages to the whole world．Types of PropagandaPolitical propaganda has been around as long as there have been politicians．(4) ．People have used it for many years．War propaganda began during World War I，more than 100 years ago．To see if propaganda is saying the truth，people need to do extra work．For example，ads might always sound like they're true．But before you believe them，try to think about who created and paid for them．Find out why they did it．(5) ．A．Propaganda TargetsB．Propaganda MediumsC．Another word for this is propagandaD．So most people will agree with those politiciansE．Then，you can decide if they're being honest or notF．However，religious propaganda was actually the first official oneG．People might join someone who claims to be popular or winning16.

read．（8）published．非谓语动词考查．过去分词作定语修饰texts．表示与其他出版文字相比，信件中自然地流露出个人感触．所以填published．（9）naturally．副词考查．此处用副词修饰动词，naturally是副词"自然地"，所以填naturally．（10）has been committed．动词时态考查．《见字如面》从开播至今还致力于推广中国文学．由since可知此处应用现在完成时．所以填has been committed．本文为说明性记叙文，介绍电视节目《见字如面》．语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力，在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，在读懂短文的基础上，结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析．要解决好语法填空，离不开坚实的语法知识，有了坚实的语法知识才能对语言进行正确的分析和判断，从而答对题目．42.【答案】Last year， Zhang Pingyu paid ˄ visit

She complained about my unreasonable action. Sheinsisted there was no more room in the house.I knew I was wrong, but I hoped I could smooth things over.

Sure,that race only took plac e in ancient Aesop’s mind, but while the great modern races can teach us a lot about commitment, per severance (毅力) and the virtues of having a rather large engine, “The Tortoise and the Rabbit” may tell us eve rything about animals and even vehicles on this planet.In a study published this week, Adrian Bejan, a professor of mechanical engineering, concludes thatno one should be surprised that the tortoise wins over the seemingly speedier rabbit. In fact, after analyzingthe reported speeds of land-air-and-water-based animals, Bejan concludes that the worlds well-knownspeedsters are actually among the slowest when their movements are averaged out over the course of alifetime.ases with mass The study builds on Bejan’s previous research showing that an animals speed increregardless of species.

What about the modern jet fighter? How is that relatively smallwith its size, too. That doesn’t sound rigcraft not faster than a clumsy large transport plane?Again, Bejan harks back to the tortoise. That transport plane spends lots of time in the air, movingregularly across long distances. The fighter jet, on the other hand, may fly across the sky occasionally,but-like the rabbit-it’s often found resting on the ground.The slow and steady transport plane wins the marathon of life.than a lesson in perseverance.But like so many good stories, Aesop’s tale offers even moreAt one point, the rabbit asks the tortoise how he expects to win a race at such a slow pace.The tortoise—ever focused—doesn’t respond But it’s the rabbits own words that prov ide the moment to reflect on, especially in modem times.“There is plenty of time to relax,” Until there isn’t.28.

Quickness is not all advantage in a race.D. The slow but steady are always winners.DThe long, white robot weighs more than 450 kilograms. Like other robots, it is equipped with camerasand mechanical arms to automatically perform many different jobs.Angus is a major part of operations at Alexander’s indoor robot farm. about 40 kilometers south of San Francisco. The 743-square meter farm uses a hydroponic system that grows plants without soil. Theplants grow inside equipment that provides a continuous flow of water. The indoor farm uses electrical light instead of sunlight.This kind of farm uses much less water and does not require human labor to run. The main job forAngus is to move thousands of plants around the farm, from small containers to larger ones as they grow. Angus also carries plants to another robot that does not have a name yet. Angus moves slowly to complete its work. But the robot is very strong and can lift about 300 kilograms.For now, the farm uses humans to collect vegetables and other crops when they are ready. But Alexander says he is working on a robot that will eventually take over that job too.Alexander helped start the company Iron Ox after leaving Google, where he worked on robotics at the company’s Google x project. He teamed up with another former Google employee, Jon Binney. Together they founded Iron Ox.Iron Ox’s website says the hydroponic growing system uses 90 percent less water. It also said thegrowing method is up to 30 times more productive than growing crops on land.Alexander said growing food robotically throughout the year in major cities will provide a more consistent and fresh product. Most of the vegetables sold in the U.S. are grown in California, Arizona, Mexico and other nations. That means that many people in U.S. cities are eating vegetables that are nearly a week old by the time they arrive in stores.Indoor farms operate all year and are not generally affected by bad weather. This will permit the company to provide a steady flow of goods without major price changes.32. How does Angus work in the farm?A. It provides a continuous flow of water for the plants.B.

It uses less water but produces more.35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Robot Farm, the Future of the AgricultureB. Robot Farm, Aiming to Bring Fresher Food to US CitiesC. Alexander, an Extraordinary Scientist on RoboticsD. Hydroponic System, the New Way of Farming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。

that you're in； otherwise you'll leave servers angry everywhere you go．Here are just a few guidelines to tipping around the world．BrazilThere will always be a standard 10% service charge added to your bill，and you won't necessarily have to tip． If you do feel like being generous，an extra 5﹣10% will really make your server very happy． Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible﹣﹣﹣Brazilians don't make a big show of this． DubaiIn Dubai it's a rule for restaurants to charge 10% tip on all restaurant and bar bills． You can add a couple of dirhams （迪拉姆，货币单位） to this if you feel like it． Waiters are not paid very much in Dubai， so it is always very appreciated．GermanyGerman bars and restaurants will include the tip as part of what you owe，but that's not all you have to pay． It is a custom to round the bill up after that， usually to the euro． This can be anywhere from 5﹣10%． When it's time to settle up， you won't get a bill： your waiter tells you the total and then you tell them how much you want to pay， including your "tip"， and hand over the money．Czech RepublicWhile locals in the Czech Republic don't leave tips， that doesn't mean you re off the hook． Foreign tourists are definitely expected to leave some kind of tip for service﹣ as long as you're in a high tourist traffic area，like Prague for instance． The standard tip is 10%．IndiaIf you like the service， go ahead and tip your server 5﹣10%． You have to adjust that mount though， based on how big the meal you're eating is． If the bill is for a small meal， and totals less than 300 rupees， tip the full 10%． If the bill is higher， tip towards the 5%．（1）In which country do customers have to tip at least 10% for the service？A． Dubai．B． IndiaC． Germany．D． Czech Republic．（2）Which country has different tip cultures between citizens and foreigners？A． Dubai．B． Germany．C． India．D． Czech Republic．（3）If your bill is 2000 rupees in India，it is proper for you to tip rupees．A．10．B．80．C．120．D．200．12．（8分）Li Ziqi， a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts， has gained worldwide popularity．Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo， China's equivalent to Twitter， plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks． Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel．It is the spirit of craftsmanship （技艺） behind her works that makes Li's video clips attractive． She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures in making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts， suchas peach flower wine and silk， and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate． Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos． Li has been inheriting （继承） traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way． A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any "analysis" that makes people feel bored． They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the latter knows how Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives． It is that universal appeal that makes her works so attractive． Thanks to Li's efforts， many intangible cultural heritages that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes．Via her short videos Li presents the image of a beautiful and friendly China．With the growth of the Chinese economy， people overseas are showing more interest in traditional Chinese culture． Li has shown how to satisfy that interest in a good way， namely showing the best parts of traditional Chinese culture with her

delivery vehicle"． Using AI， this autonomous delivery vehicle offers customers an app﹣ similar to one used when ordering a taxi﹣allowing them to choose when and where their packages are delivered． Companies like Tesla and Amazon have invested heavily in autonomous vehicles，which have the potential to create a sea of changes in business and society．Resembling something like a green egg on wheels，Kar﹣go's aim is to reduce the cost of what's known as the"last mile delivery challenge"． This is the final stage of your online package's journey， from a local warehouse to your front door． Labor costs， paying drivers， the cost of fuel and the vehicle costs for maintaining small vehicles all contribute to making this the most expensive part of the delivey process． The first part of the packages journey is far cheaper， with high volumes of packages being transported to and from the same location． However at the other end， drivers deliver smaller shipments （货物） to several different locations， where the recipient （收件人） may not even be available to collect．With the latest AI technology，Kar﹣go will deliver goods safely，sustainably and in style． The A1 vehicle uses special technology to becomean expert on its own individual route，learning from past experiences in order to help itself deal with new future obstacles （障碍物） on the road． Kar ﹣go also has its very own internal sorting system， allowing the vehicle to transport packages in the correct order for delivery．By 2030，the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders predicts the autonomous market could add £62 billion in economic growth in the UK， creating more than 420， 000 new jobs． Electric， self﹣driving， economic and capable of working 24/7， Kar﹣go promises to reduce the last mile delivery cost by up to 90%， providing an efficient solution to the rapidly﹣expanding online retail （零售） market．（1）From the first paragraph we know Kar﹣go ．A． is an app used to order a taxi．B． is Europe's first autonomous vehicleC． has created great changes in business and societyD． transports goods at customers' convenience．（2）What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us？A． How Kar﹣go delivers the goodsB． What challenges Kar﹣go may face．C． How the drivers reduce delivery cost．D． Why the last mile delivery is expensive（3）What is the advantage of the al technology used by Kar﹣go？A． It has an advanced internal sorting system．B． It enables vehicles to work more efficiently．C． It makes a driver become an expert in traffic．D． It helps people clean new obstacles on the road．（4）What influence does Kar﹣go have on the UK？A． It will create over 420，000 jobs for drivers．B． It will reduce the delivery cost by up to 90%C． It may contribute to the growth of online businessD． It may make the UK lead in the autonomous market．14．（8分）The race to 5G is on． All four major US carriers now have some form of 5G wireless， although it's all limited roll﹣outs in only a few cities，mostly using expensive phones that won't support future nationwide 5G networks． We're tracking the roll﹣outs monthly on our Race to 5G page． The early 5G roll﹣outs are more like a public test than a final product． AT&T， Verizon， and T﹣Mobile are all using technologies that only travel about 800 feet from a cell site，which means there isn't much coverage． All four carriers are waiting for upgrades （升级） to their base stations that will improve coverage， speed， and reliability． Around the end of this year or the beginning of 2020， AT&T． Verizon， and T﹣Mobile all intend to launch 5G networks that use the existing 4G spectrum （频谱）， which will have slower speeds but broader coverage．We've tested AT&T in Dallas and Las Vegas； Sprint in Dallas and New York：Verizon in Chicago， New York， and Providence； and T﹣Mobile in New York． Every month， we've been seeing better performance and more new devices． It's messy It's very early days． And if you like new technology， it's very exciting． In previous mobile transformations， we've seen most of the big changes happening years after the first announcement． Take 4G， for instance． The first 4G phones in the US appeared in 2010． But the sorts of 4G applications that changed our world didn't appear until later． So following that plan，while we're getting a little bit of 5G right now， you should expect the big 5G applications to crop up around 2021 or 2022．5G stands for fifth﹣ generation cellular （蜂窝状的） wireless， and the initial standards of it were set at the end of 2017． But a set of standards doesn't mean that all 5G will work the same﹣or that we even know what applications 5G will enable． There will be slow but responsive 5G， and fast 5G with limited coverage．（1）What is the present state of 5G in the US？A． Initial exploration．B． Great improvement．C． Wide application．D． Extensive promotion．（2）Why does the author take 4G for example？A． To persuade carriers to give up 5G．B． To remind people of 4Gs importance．C． To prove 5G takes time to make a greater difference．D． To show 5G has failed to meet expectations．（3）What's the author's attitude to 5G？A． Cautious．B． Skeptical．C． Opposed．D． Objective．（4）What's the best title for the text？A． Race to 5GB． 5G is comingC． How fast is 5G？D． What is 5G？第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．15．（10分）Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life．（1） There is constant competition for academic degrees， jobs， customers， money and so forth． In a sense， competition is one of the motive forces to the development of society．（2）Therefore，the only way to survive is to be competitive． Growing in a competitive environment is important for a child because future adult life is difficult． Finding a good job， for example，is an extremely competitive activity．Today， most people try to get good education through various ways．（3）The quality of people is rapidly increasing． Competition is more violent than what we thought it should be． The potentially successful job applicant has to be prepared in stronger position by gaining more qualifications and experience． In the business world， to beat your competitors， you must be better than the other employees．（4）In fact， the only way our world rewards people is to give honor to the winners， not to the losers． By attempting to compete at different activities，we learn to win and lose，gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses． Competition prepares us for the tough things in life．（5）A． Otherwise， you will be defeated．B． Modern society demands high﹣quality talents．C． Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for the tough life．D． There are also many people who have higher degrees in their special fields．E．Children have to learn to be competitive in order to adapt to modern society．F． In the

People originally thought the dog had been abandoned, but then realized that he looked healthy, so people asked around about him. It turned out that the dog had indeed been spending most of his time around that crossroad, but a woman had been coming -.round regularly to bring him food and water.One day, while photographing the dog everyone called Leo, a reporter met the woman who had been taking care of him. She had come to drop off some food. After learning the story about the dog and the woman, the reporter decided to share the story on social media. The post soon went viral and the photos of Leo got shared hundreds of times. And theNang Noi Sittisarn, a 64-year-old woman from Thailand’s Roi Et Province, almost had a heart attack when her daughter showed her a photo of the beloved dog named BonBon she had lost during a car trip. When she learned that he had been waiting for her in the same spot for the last four years，her heart melted(融化).Auntie Noi told her daughter to drive her to where the dog was waiting. When she got there and called his name. BonBon，the poor dog started wiggling(扭动)his tail and came to her，but when she tried to take him home with her, he was unwilling to follow.

No one knows the result until the last minuteCA team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically, it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”8. Which of the following statements was the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly?A. They did not have sufficient fund.B. No ready-made components were available.C. There was no model in their mind.D. It was hard for them to assemble the components.9. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4?A. The robotic fly has been put into wide application.B. The robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system.C. Information from many sources can be collected by the robotic fly.D. The robotic fly can just fly in limited areas at present.10. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.C. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.D. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.11. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Development of Robotic FlyB. Robotic Fly Promotes Engineering ScienceC. Harvard’s Efforts in Making Robotic FlyD. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life InsectDThe idea that computers have some amount of “intelligence” is not new, says Ralph Haupter, the president of Microsoft Asia, pointing as far back as 1950 when computer pioneer Alan Turing asked whether machines can think. “So it has taken nearly 70 years for the right combination of factors to come together to move AI from concept to reality,” says Haupter.It is predicted that the development of artificial intelligence will be the story of the coming generations, not just the coming year, but as 2019 gets underway, you’ll find AI will begin to touch your life in many ways according to some researchers.“Personal assistant AIs will keep getting smarter. As our personal assistants learn more about our daily routines, I can imagine the day I need not to worry about preparing dinner. My AI knows what I like to eat, which days of the week I like to cook at home, and makes sure that when I get back from work all my groceries are waiting at my doorstep, ready for me to prepare that delicious meal I had been longing for.” ---Alecjandro Troccoli, senior research scientist, NVIDIA.“Thanks to AI, the face will be the new credit card, the new driver’s license and the new barcode (条形码). Facial recognition is already completely transforming security with biometric capabilities being adopted, and seeing how technology and business are connected, like Amazon is with Whole Foods, I can see a near future where people will no longer need to stand in line at the store.” ---Georges Nahon, president, Orange Institute, a global research laboratory.“2019 will be the year AI becomes real for medicine. By the end of the year we’re seeing solutions for population health, hospital operations and a broad set of clinical specialties quickly follow behind.” ---Mark Michalski, executive director, Massachusetts General Hospital.12. What can we know about AI from the first two paragraphs?A. People didn't expect AI to develop so rapidly.B. The idea of AI just came up recently.C. The concept of AI was put forward by Ralph Haupter.D. It took more than 70 years to turn the concept into reality.13. Who sees the future of AI doing housework instead of human being?A. Alan Turing.B. Georges Nahon.C. Mark Michalski.D. Alejandro Troccoli.14. What is Georges Nahon’s job?A. Executive director of a hospital.B. President of a research laboratory.C. Chairman of an energy corporation.D. Chief operating officer of a newspaper.15. How is the passage developed?A. By explaining cause and effect.B. By presenting research results.C. By listing some predictions.D. By describing personal experiences.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。

I have no idea how I ended up with this opportunity, I have no idea what I’m doing, but I am very happy to be here.Last summer a friend tagged me in a Facebook post from BBC Earth and encouraged me to apply to the BBC Presenter Search 2018. The assignment was easy and hard, make a video shorter than 60 seconds where you talk about something in science you think is cool. Simple concept, but for me it was challenging as I want to talk about bryophytes(苔藓植物) forever (which is slightly longer than 60 seconds).So I decided to make an attempt. I was going to make a 60 second video about sphagnum(水苔), commonly known as peat moss and uncommonly known as an unsung climate hero. Sphagnum is the plant genus that holds the most carbon in the world, it slowly builds up its carbon storage over hundreds of thousands of years and if undisturbed, they never let go of the carbon they gathered.Making a short video on this was hard because I wanted to include everything. And it became even harder as I had no one to hold the camera. I tied my camera to the scrawniest little tree, swinging in the wind as a bird tried to chase me away from the mud. This chaos ended up as the video “Why sphagnum is awesome” on my channel. I submitted the video, but didn’t dare to write in the description section of the video that it was a submission, because I never imagined that I could win!But I did.I waited two months before I could tell people that I had won the search, and when the news came out, I received the most attention I’ve had in my entire life.No matter your background, whether you want to pass the time or pass an exam, I really hope you enjoy the video!4. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 1?A. She is uncertain about the result.B. She gets used to telling people lies.C. She is unable to achieve the goal.D. She knows much about the ending.5. Which of the following is NOT true about sphagnum?A. It can form its carbon storage in a very slow way.B. It is universally recognized as an unknown climate hero.C. It won’t release the carbon without being d isturbed.D. It contains a large amount of carbon.6. The underlined word “scrawniest” in Paragraph 4 probably means ___________.A. weakestB. strongestC. shortestD. most energetic7. What can we learn from the author’s story?A. She shows great interest in filming the video.B. Her knowledge helps overcome all the difficulties.C. Her attitude and hard work pay off eventually.D. She is more than delighted to gain the most attention.CChinese Culture Shown to the World with LoveLi Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide popularity.Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China’s equivalent to Twitter, plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel.It is the spirit of craftsmanship (技艺) behind her works that makes Li’s video clips attractive. She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures in making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate. Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos.Li has been inheriting (继承) traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any “analysis” that makes people feel bored. They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the latter knows how Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives. It is that universal appeal that makes her works so attractive. Thanks to Li's efforts, many intangible cultural heritages that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes. Via her short videos, Li presents the image of a beautiful and friendly China.With the growth of the Chinese economy, people overseas are showing more interest in traditional Chinese culture. Li has shown how to satisfy that interest in a good way, namely showing the best parts of traditional Chinese culture with her heart.To effectively present the beauty of Chinese culture to the world, we need more Li Ziqi.8. What can we learn about Li Ziqi’s video clips?A. They promote the sales of Chinese food and handicrafts.B. They attract a large number of foreigners to visit her online shop.C. They aim to introduce traditional Chinese food culture and handicrafts worldwide.D. They are based on her family’s recipes of making traditional Chinese food.9.

Details and accuracy play significant roles in the success of Li’s videos.C. Li makes sure all of her video clips are short enough to be downloaded.D. Cultural heritages usually exist in memories and written accounts.10. What does the underlined word “intangible” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. nonphysicalB. inaccessibleC. invaluableD. unnoticeable11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To provide guidance on cooking and making handicrafts.B. To suggest a way of attracting more followers on Sina Weibo.C.

To encourage more people to make efforts to bring Chinese culture to the world.DOnce March 29 was impressed firmly in the minds of British people, as this was the date when the UK was supposed to leave the European Union (EU).The UK public voted to leave the EU almost three years ago. Since then, the UK Parliament has voted many times to determine the terms of the UK’s exit from the EU. But British lawmakers haven’t reached an agreement on any particular path. So the UK and EU member states agreed to push the Brexit (脱欧) deadline to April 12, hoping this would allow UK lawmakers to get a Brexit deal through the UK Parliament.On March 29, British lawmakers rejected UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal once again. According to USA Today, the failure to reach an agreement was largely because hard-line (强硬的) lawmakers from Conservative Party didn’t feel the deal done with the EU adequately separates the UK from the EU. Meanwhile, many Labor Party lawmakers were in favor of closer ties with the EU. As result, the UK has to announce a new plan before April 12, or leave the EU without a deal, and the latter one will bring the UK and the EU countries many influences. For example, the UK would have to face the fact that the price of imported goods for British people could go up as a result. Meanwhile, there could be long delays at borders between the UK and the EU countries if passport checks are strengthened.In the event of a no-deal Brexit, the German government would give British citizens living in Germany an initial period of three months during which their rights to live and work there would not change. However, they would have to apply for the permits of living in Germany during that period. The French Parliament has passed a law to give the government the power to introduce new measures to deal with a no-deal Brexit. The law covers, among other things, the rights of UK national a living and working in France.More efforts to prevent a disorderly Brexit are still needed, but time is limited!12. Why did the UK and EU member states push the Brexit deadline to April 12?A. To wait for a new Brexit deal.B. To make a no-deal Brexit plan.C. To meet Theresa May’s request.D. To have a better ties with the EU.13. What does the underlined part “the latter one” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Conservative Party.B. Labor Party.C. Theresa May’s Brexit deal.D. The no-deal Brexit.14. What will Germany ask British citizens to do for the possible no -deal Brexit?A. Leave Germany within three months.B. Continue to live and work in Germany.C. Obtain living permits in the specific time.D. Hand in the their passports as soon as possible.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the present situation of the Brexit?A. Concerned.B. Doubtful.C. Ambiguous.D. Surprised.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。
