高三2019-2020 学年度第二学期二次网考英语试题（20-4）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40 分）第一节（共15 小题，每小题2 分，满分30 分）AFrances Stevens Reese Wooldland Trail GuideThe Woodland Trail was opened to the public on October 21, 1997. Boscobel’s Board of Directors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of former Boscobel board member, Fances Stevens Reese (1917-2003), one year after his death.The trail(小径) is approximately 10 miles in length, leading down to Constitution Forest. When the West Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil War, trees for miles around were cleared to provide firewood. Walking out of the forest, you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.Throughout this country path, you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants localto this region. You will also find signs with historic and environmental information written by area specialists.When you take a walk through this “undiscovered” forest land, please be a considerate guest.Before walking the trail, please purchase a pass in the Carriage House. Plan ahead, so youwill be back by closing time.Follow the trail markers and remain on the trail. Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem, you will reduce the risk of poison plants and snakes.Leave rocks, plants, animals and art works where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail. If you happen to see a piece of litter, be a good guest and pick it up.21.When was the trail named to honor Frances Stevens Reese?A. In 2004B. In 1997.C. In 1917D. In 200322.What can you see along the trail?A.An old battle field.B. Information signs.C. A glass factory.D. Rock houses.23.What should you do as a thoughtful visitor?A.Make reservations in the Carriage House .B. Throw the rubbish into the dustbins.C. Leave the wildlife undisturbed .D. Protect the markers of the Woodland Trail.BAt school, I was in the top set for maths. My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It’s great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. It’s a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has aneffect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code and these days it’s as important as reading and writing. I’ve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don’t want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I’m exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. I’m hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials in science and want to change the world.24.What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Personal learning style.B. Sex characteristic.C. Profession difference .D. Conventional sex concept .25.According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?A.Increasing job possibility.B. Winning popularity.C. Improving language competence.D. Enriching imagination.26.How did the author feel for her major choice?A.Regretful.B. Active.C. Discouraged.D. Satisfied.27.What may be the best title for the text?A.Art or Science, Either is OKB. Girls, Choose More WiselyC. Good Subjects, Good FutureD. Catch Chances, Change the WorldCOne way to prevent anxiety from getting out of control is to recognize its benefits. It is a mistake to think that we'd make better decisions if only we keep our feelings under control. Instead, a mix of feelings like an xiety and logical thinking leads to sound decision- making. It's true that there is plenty of research showing that higher levels of anxiety can make us more likely to avoid risks in our decision-making. There is also evidence that anxiety can increase the attention you pay to relevant information.Recent studies have shown that people who are anxious about their relationship （for example, they fear to be abandoned）tend to be better at recognizing people who tell lies and are more likely to raise the alarm when danger is present.In the real world though, it's worth realizing that feeling anxious once in a while is extremely common. It communicates to others that you care, and what's more, it's probably a sign that you are intelligent. At least two published studies have identified that people who score higher on measures of anxiety also tend to perform better on intelligence tests. This seems reasonable: if you're a thinker, you are sure to be always thinking about the future and imagine possible plots, including bad ones.The important thing, if you are a worrywart（杞人忧天者），is not to let your fear destroy your dreams. And don't bury your head in the sand. Instead, act on your fears——do the research as well as preparation, so rather than walking blindly into that which you fear, you meet the challenge in full readiness.When anxiety beats you, or casts a shadow over your life, this is a serious problem. No one is denying that. But like everyday anxiety of this kind that you feel before a presentation or interview, you needn't see it as your enemy. Anxiety is an important feeling, developed through evolution. Asfor people who are fairly anxious by nature, there is reason for cheer, too. Your nerves(神经紧张）are a sign of your watchfulness. Listen to them and act on them. Then you can turn your nervousness into your advantage.28.What ca n we infer from the first paragraph about anxiety?A.It can make us more willing to take risks.B. It can stop us from thinking logically.C. It can enable us to be more focused.D. It can be the only reason for all bad decisions.29.What can we learn from the passage?A.Anxious people are less sensitive to danger.B.Anxious people have difficulty discovering liars.C.Feeling anxious is more likely to put people atrisk.D.Feeling anxious occasionally is a sign ofintelligence.30.How should we deal with anxiety in the author's opinion?A.Regard it as our enemy.B. Avoid being defeated by it.C. Take action to control it.D. Treat it as a minor feeling.31.What is the theme of the passage?A.Unexpected benefits of anxiety.B. Effective ways to prevent anxiety.C. Tips on how to keep a good mood.D. Common misunderstandings about anxiety.DMost people aren’t good at creative problem solving for two reasons: (1) They are not trained in how to be creative. (2) They don’t understand group strength well enough to harness （驾驭）their power to maximize group creativity.A key element of creativity is applying existing knowledge to a new problem. The more people getting involved in solving it, the more knowledge there is to work on it. Unfortunately, research shows that the traditional brainstorming methods fail to achieve that goal. When groups get together to exchange ideas, they actually come up with fewer ideas overall than if they each had worked alone.To fix this problem, you should consider the two stages of group problem-solving: divergence（分散）and convergence（集中）. Divergence happens when the group considers as many different potential solutions as possible. Convergence happens when the various proposed solutions are evaluated and reduced to a smaller set of candidate solutions to the current problem.The essential principle of group creativity is that individuals working alone diverge, whereas group members working together converge. In groups, once a member states a potential solution, that makes others think about the problem similarly. That is why groups working together diverge less than individuals working alone.Therefore, be aware of when to diverge and when to converge. For example, early in the problem-solving process, have group members work alone to write down statements describing the problem. Then get them back to discuss their descriptions. The group discussion will lead everyone to accept one or a small number of these statements to work on—this is healthy convergence.When starting to generate solutions, you again want divergence. Have people work alone to start. Then collect people’s initial ideas and send them around to others and allow the divergenceto continue as everyone individually builds on the ideas of other members.Finally, let the group discuss the resulting ideas. This discussion will gradually lead the group to converge on a small number of candidate solutions.This simple method works effectively, because it respects what individuals and groups do best.32．According to Para. 4, when a member presents an idea, others tend to.A．think the other way round B．follow his way of thinkingC．be more confident in their own ideas D．be less willing to share their own ideas 33．What should group members first do early in the problem-solving process?A．Discuss the problem. B．Simplify the problem.C．Write down their individual descriptions. D．Put down group statements together. 34．How can each group member make changes to his initial solution?A．By adding in collected evidence. B．By reorganizing his own words.C．By making his statement briefer. D．By drawing on others’ ideas.35．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A．To highlight the differences between divergence and convergence.B．To demonstrate the difficulty in organizing group thinking.C．To advocate a way to make group thinking more effective.D．To show the advantage of group thinking over individual thinking.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。
