It could help those with food allergies (过敏)understand what they are eating anywhere inthe world. Emojis should cover characters representing major food causing allergies. They make people understand what are used in foods even in foreign countries and safely select meals.Emojis are universal because they are chosen and developed by the Unicode Consortium, a non-profit company that oversees, develops and maintains how text is represented. This is in regards to all software products and standards. It's thanks to the Unicode Standard that when you text a friend six pizza emojis, they’ll see those six pizza pieces on their phone. This is true regardless of whether they use an iPhone or an Android.Because emojis are everywhere and visual(视觉的),they could be helpful for restaurants and food packaging designers. They can communicate whether a product is made with common causing-allergy food. But as Komatsu’s advice argues, many of the most common causing-allergy foods are missing or poorly represented by the present emoji library. For example, there is an emoji for octopus, but nothing for squid. There is a loaf of bread that could symbolize grain, but a picture of wheat could be clearer. The emojis can be more direct when symbolizing foods.It’s not uncommon for the Unicode Consortium to add new emojis to the library: several food-related emojiswere put into use last June, including some long-waited food emojis. Apple included support for multiracial emojis in a recent iOS update. An artist even recreated Moby-Dick in emoji characters. Some might be sorry for the continuing death of the written word if Komatsu’s suggestion is accepted, but look on the bright side: if you ever see that happy poop on a box, you’ll know to stay away.4. How will emojis save lives according to the text?A. By showing what the food contains visually.B. By telling the safest places in the world.C. By teaching people how to treat allergies.D. By adding standard emojis about safety.5. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A. Emojis have the same meanings around the world.B. The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit company.C. What emojis represent is different in different places.D. Different mobile operating systems have different emojis.6. What can be the reason for Komatsu’s advice?A. Emojis are easy to mix up.B. Present emojis are not enough.C. Emojis can't interest most users.D. Emojis can't represent foods directly.7. What is the author’s attitude to Komatsu's suggestion?A. Doubtful.B. Worried.C. Supportive.D. Uninterested.CIn order to help discover spoilage and reduce food waste for supermarkets and consumers, researchers have developed new low-cost, smart phone-linked, eco-friendly spoilage sensors for meat and fish packaging.One in threeUKconsumers throw away food just because it reaches the use-by date, but 60% of the £12.5 billion-worth of food we throw away each year is safe to eat.The researchers, whose findings were published in ACS Sensors, say the sensors could also eventually replace the use-by date—a widely used indicator of being fresh and eatable.The sensors cost two US cents each to make. Known as “paper-based electrical gas sensors (PEGS)”, they detect spoilage gases like ammonia (a poisonous gas with a strong unpleasant smell) in meat and fish products. The information provided by the electronic nose is received by a smart phone, and then you can know whetherthe food is fresh and safe to eat.The Imperial College London researchers who developed PEGS made the sensors by printing carbon electrodes onto a special type of paper. The materials are eco-friendly and harmless, so they don’t damage the environment and are safe to use in food packaging. The sensors, combined with a tiny electronic system, then inform nearby mobile devices, which identify and understand the data about spoilage gases.Lead author Dr Firat Guder of Imperial’s Department of Bioengineering, said, “Although they’re designed to keep us safe, use-by dates can lead to eatable food being thrown away. They don’t always reflect its actual freshness. In fact, people often get sick from food-borne diseases due to poor storage, even when an item is within its use-by date.”“These sensors are cheap enough so we hope to see supermarkets using them within three years. Our goal is to use PEGS in food packaging to reduce unnecessary food waste.”The authors hope that PEGS could have applications beyond food processing, like sensing chemicals in agriculture, air quality, and detecting disease markers in breath like those involved in kidney disease.8. What is the function of PEGS according to the text?A. To improve the taste of foods.B. To improve the service of stores.C. To help supermarkets store foods.D. To help people test food freshness.9. What role does the smartphone play while PEGS are functioning?A. It acts as an electronic nose.B. It reads the data collected by PEGS.C. It helps print the gas sensors onto paper.D. It discovers the spoilage gases from foods.10. What does Dr. Firat Guder say about use-by dates?A. They are not completely reliable.B. They can help reduce food waste.C. They are based on scientific research.D. They are not accepted by the consumers.11. What does the author mainly talk about in the text?A. The process of researching spoilage sensors.B. A new technology in packaging to reduce food waste.C. The application of spoilage sensors beyond food processing.D. The influence of use-by dates on supermarkets and consumers.DIf you believe in thermometers (温度计), you should believe in global warming. And if you believe in eating French fries with your hamburger, you should worry more about carbonemission.It won't happen overnight, but as the planet’s climate changes, the growth cycles of main crops will all be heavily affected. Here are three of the crops that might not beat the heat.The potato actually needs a great deal of beauty rest to develop properly. “They need a cool nighttime temperature in order to start growing the tuber, the part that we eat,” Nelson says.Temperature and altitude are two primary concerns in coffee growth, and farmers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. “We know that coffee grows in a certain temperature range,” Nelson says. “They've been moving up the mountains, but at some point you run out of mountains to move up.” Higher-grade strains of Arabica coffee in Central American regions are at particular risk due to the need for lower growing temperature, especially since diseases and pests are also becoming more of a factor as temperatures rise.Even if you're looking at the direct effects of temperature alone, rice is in trouble. “As nighttime temperatures go up, the rice is going to have a problem flowering and won't make as many seeds,” Nelson says. In addition to this direct heat consequence, rising sea levels will flood many rice paddies and destroy water salinity levels, while droughts will lower production, raise prices, and further shame westerners who are clumsy with chopsticks to be able to clear their plates once a new grain is adopted.12. What is the closest meaning to the underlined word “emission” in Paragraph 1?A. Mixture.B. Pollution.C. Giving off.D. Going down.13. What does the potatoes' development need according to Nelson?A. Cool temperature at night.B. Sudden rise of the temperature.C. Enough water and salt.D. Much sunshine and fresh air.14. The rice is difficult to flower,probably because ________.A. sea levels go up suddenlyB. many seeds can't be producedC. the temperature rises at nightD. both temperature and altitude rise15. What is the best title for the text?A. How Does Global Warming Affect WesternersB. How Does the Cool Temperature Affect RiceC. What Is the Real Reason For Crops’ GrowthD. Three Crops That Won't Survive Climate Changes第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019-2020学年佛山市第一中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案

2019-2020学年佛山市第一中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe following 4 famous paintings, from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece, have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery,London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital nearSaint-Remy-de-Provence,Francebetween 1889 and 1890. When theMuseumofModern ArtinNew York Citypurchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector fromAntwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art inNew York Citysince 1919.GuernicaGuernica,a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title ‘Guernica’ refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo National Centro de Arte ReinaSofiainMadrid.1. What do the four paintings have in common?A. They are oil paintings.B. They are kept inNew York.C. They show different people’s lives.D. They are created during 10th century to 19th century.2. What do we know about The Starry Night?A. It shows the scenery of a small hillside village.B. Van Gogh produced it when living in his home.C. A private collector gave it away to the museum.D. It was not famous before 1941.3. Whose painting shows the destruction of war?A. Jan van Eyck.B. Vincent van Gogh.C. Pieter Bruegel.D. Pablo Picasso.BGrowing up as kids we are told to share our toys and notto be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a carpet as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?“Oversharing” has become associated with social media, but it isn'texclusiveto this platform. Imagine you head to a party and meet x k w someone. Within five minutes they have revealed private details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage advisor Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media?Dr. Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学），says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. It seems that searching for sympathy by oversharing is generally considered as negative rather than the cry for help it could really be.However, Dr. Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become-provided that the posts that we bang out are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense-if your date is going “that well", would you really have time to share a photo with text?So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.4. What does the underlined word “exclusive" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Unique.B. Similar.C. Relevant.D. Fundamental.5. Why do some people prefer oversharing at parties?A. To draw others' attention.B. To satisfy others' curiosity.C. To remove negative feelings.D. To develop good relationships.6. Which of the following may Dr. Hand agree with?A. Sharing more details online can attract more sympathy.B. Oversharing negative experiences is equal to crying for help.C. Sharing negative posts can't help one become socially attractive.D. Oversharing isn't likely to happen online when things go wrong.7. According to the text, what should be avoided for online sharing?A. Reflecting on past bad manners.B. Showing a great many expensive goods.C. Writing a recipe for a balanced breakfast.D. Recording unforgettable moments with friends.CItaly's fashion capital is gray — not only because of the blocks of stone buildings，but also due to its often-gray sky, which traps pollution. ButMilannow wants to change it.The city has an ambitious plan to plant 3 million new trees by 2030 - a move that experts say could offer relief from the city's hot weather. Some projects have already contributed to environmental improvements. Architect Stefano Boeri’s Vertical Forest residential (居民的) tower, completed in 2014, aims to improve not only air quality but the quality of life for Milan residents. Boeri created a smallisland of greenery in the heart ofMilan, filling every balcony with plants that absorb carbon dioxide.“I think forestation is one of the best chances that we have today. It is one of the most effective ways we have to fight climate change, because everyone can plant trees, Boeri said.Damiano Di Simine, a member of the environmental group Legambiente , said the greenMilanproject will lower temperatures in a city where the nighttime temperature can be 6 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area. City show thatMilanexperiences 35 hot nights a year. Because the city lies close to theAlps, Milin gets very little wind to lower the city's temperatures. "Planting trees will help this," Di said.TheVerticalForesthas attracted more than 20 species of birds. And the shade provided by the 800 trees and 15,000 plants means that residents rarely have to put on air conditioning, even in hot summers. TheVerticalForest's total greenery- can absorb 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. The presence of green trees has a very important effect on people's health and psychological state, as has already been proved.8. What change doesMilanplan to make?A. Planting more trees.B. Creating a new fashion style.C. Pulling down more gray stone buildings.D. Doing more surveys to study global wanning.9. What's Boeri's opinion on the city's plan?A. It costs a lot.B. It is unpractical.C. It fails to attract people's attention.D. It is helpful to fight against climate change.10. What is Di Simine's attitude toward the city's plan?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Disappointed.D. Unconcerned.11. What does the last paragraph focus on?A. Specifics of the city's plan.B. Challenges faced by the city.C. The aim of theVerticalForestproject.D. The positive effect of theVerticalForestproject.DFor most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists—that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man isman. Thus man was defined as a rational(理性的) being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” The historical approach was strengthened, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology (人类学). The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield(盾牌) behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers cynically（愤世嫉俗地）to “human nature” in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying.Another reason for disbelief about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.12. Most philosophers believed that human nature ________.A. is the quality distinguishing man from other animalsB. consists of competitiveness and selfishnessC. is something partly innate and partly acquiredD. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior13. The traditional view of “human nature” was strongly challenged by ________.A. the emergence of the evolutionary theoryB. the historical approach to manC. new insight into human behaviorD. the philosophical analysis of slavery14. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings ________.A. have some characters in commonB. are born with diverse culturesC. are born without a fixed natureD. change their characters as they grow up15. The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order to ________.A. emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of “human nature”B. show that the concept of “human nature” was used to justify social evilsC. prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of “human nature”D. support the idea that some human characters are inherited.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Firefighters at Pasco County Fire Rescue Station 21 on Thursday were greeted by two children holding the injured bald eagle and seeking help, according to the station’s Facebook page.The firefighters called Owl’s Nest Sanctuary（保护区）for Wildlife in Odessa for assistance and a volunteer came out to help. "It appears that the eagle was wrapped in the line for about two days, was underweight, and thirsty,” the post said.Floridahas one of the densest concentrations of nesting bald eagles in the lower 48 states with an estimated 1 ,500 nesting pairs according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.PascoCountyis located in the state's west central coast north ofTampa.After the eagle was examined, it was placed in a container and taken to the sanctuary for treatment where Kris Potter, the sanctuary's director, successfully removed the hook.The sanctuary posted on its Facebook page that the eagle is making up for lost time when it comes to food. "He's eating all his meals with great enthusiasm and doesn't leave a crumb（碎屑）behind,“ the post said. "In the meantime, this big guy is resting and recovering ——he's already looking so much better!”After the eagle is considered stable, it will be taken toBuschGardensinTampafor further treatment, according to the post.“ Thankfully the eagle appears in good health and veterinarians（兽医）believe that the eagle will fully recover," the post said.When the eagle is cleared for return to the wild, it will be released in the area around Station 21 , the station said in its post.“A big thank-you to everyone who helped save this bald eagle's life! We are thankful for this happy outcome!” the post concluded. The sanctuary used the story to remind those who enjoy fishing to properly dispose of their garbage.4.

However, few are as defenceless as the Republic of theMaldives, a collection of more than a thousand picturesque islands in theIndian Ocean. NASA researchers believe that parts of what is “arguably the lowest-lying country in the world” will become uninhabitable by 2050, due to wave-driven flooding and limited freshwater. To fight the unavoidable, the government recently revealed plans for the world's first 'true' floating island city.The aptly-named Maldives Floating City (MFC) is the brainchild of Dutch Docklands, a global leader in floating infrastructure (基建). According to the March 13, 2021, announcement, the new city will be constructed on a 200-hectare lagoon (环礁湖) located just 10 minutes by boat from the Maldivian capital, Male. It will initially consist of a thousand waterfront residences, arranged in a series of honeycomb-like maze rows. The developers plan to add hotels, restaurants, shops, and even a school and a hospital in the near future. The floating structures. will be attached to the surrounding islands, which will form a base and provide protection from high tides.Maldive officials aim to make MFC as self-sufficient as possible. Freshwater storage will provide drinking water for residents, while floating solar blankets and agriculture fields will take care of their energy and food needs.“ThisMaldivesFloatingCitydoes not require any land rehabilitation, therefore has a minimal impact on the coral reefs,” explains Mohamed Nasheed, Speaker of Parliament. “What's more, giant, new reefs will be grown toact as water breakers. In theMaldives,we cannot stop the waves, but we can rise with them.”Construction of the revolutionary city is expected to begin in 2022 and be completed in phases over the next five years. If successful, it will provide a blueprint for other countries facing a similar situation.8. Why doesMaldivesdecide to build MFC?A. It is the lowest-lying country.B. It will be flooded soon.C. It is running out of fresh water.D. It will be unsuitable for living.9. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The prospect of MFC.B. The developers of the plan.C. The location of the residences.D. The barriers to the construction.10. What can we infer from the underlined words?A. MFC will keep waves away.B. MFC will make use of waves.C. MFC will adjust to the waves.D. MFC will work as water breakers.11. What's the writing purpose of this passage?A. To introduce a construction program.B. To appeal to people to protect nature.C. To seek international help forMaldives.D. To report the achievement of a city plan,DThe market for tourism in remote areas is booming as never before. Countries all across the world are actively promoting their wilderness regions-such as mountains, Arctic lands, deserts, small islands and wetlands— to high-spending tourists. The attraction of these areas is obvious: by definition, wilderness tourism requires little or no initial investment. But that does not mean that there is no cost.Once a location is established as a main tourist destination, the effects on the local community are profound. Hill-farmers can make more money from foreign travellers than working in their fields. It is not surprising that many o£ them give up their farm-work. In some hill-regions, this has led to a serious decline in farm output and a change in the local diet, because there is lacking labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems. The result hasbeen that many people in these regions have turned to outside supplies of rice and other foods.InArcticand desert societies, year-round survival has traditionally depended on hunting animals and fish and collecting fruit over a ly short season. However, as some inhabitants become involved in tourism, they no longer have time to collect wild food; this has led to increasing dependence on bought food and stores. What should they do if these new sources of income dry up?The physical impact of visitors is another serious problem associated with the growth in adventure tourism. Much attention has focused on erosion along major roads, but perhaps more important are the forest destruction and impacts on water supplies arising from the need to provide tourists with cooked food and hot showers. In both mountains and deserts, slow-growing trees are often the main sources of fuel and water supplies may be limited through heavy use.12. Why are some countries promoting the wilderness regions to tourists?A. The wildness regions are accessible to tourists.B. The landscapes there are beautiful and unique.C. Developing tourism there doesn't need much investment.D. Lots of high-spending tourists prefer such remote regions.13. What is the effect of tourism on the local community?A. Many hill farmers have turned to outside supplies of foods.B. There is enough labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems.C. Farm output there has increased and local diet has changed.D. The local people's new sources of income will dry up soon.14. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. The future of wilderness tourism.B. The impacts of wilderness tourism.C. The destruction of wilderness tourism.D. The disadvantages of wilderness tourism.15. If there is one more paragraph following the last paragraph, what will it talk about?A. The effects on local people.B. The solutions tothese problems.C. The choices of adventure tourists.D. The reasons for visiting remote areas.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and anew way to attract customers.You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers reallywant. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（配件）unmanageable,they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.4. What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A. The benefits brought by the advanced technology.B. The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.C. The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.D. Many problems of usability known by the consumers.5. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.B. What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.C. Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.D. The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product6. What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?A. They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.B. They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.C. They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.D. They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy ThingB. Feature-heavy Products in DemandC. The More Features, the BetterD. Simplicity Outweighs ComplexityCIn the Hollywood industry, most of the studios are using AI to make movies for various reasons such as getting the actors out of danger, replacing the actors indifferent scenes, forming appealing atmosphere to enhance（增强）the views, etc.Directors and producers are using VFX (Visual effects), animations and AI to makea model that looks like the actor and replaces the actor's place. In particular, AI is used in scenes where actor shave to produce certain stunts （特技）to develop setups in the studio artificially. VFX is used to later change the internal studio backgroundsto a different place in the movie.There are many movies with two characters of the same actor. When AI was not a part of the film, editors used different methods to show the two aspects of the same actor in one scene, but now AI is being used to form the second character of the same actor and is being performed to the viewers.By a perfect combination of animation, VFX and AI, realistic models are being created. And the most fun part is the fictitious character can hold the face of the actor but the age, hairstyles, and clothing can be changed to create more enhanced looks according to the movie scene and story. With the help of AI, the directors recreating appealing scenes to enhance the thrill and excitement. InJurassic Park,no dinosaurs were running but with the help of AI and visual effects, we could enjoy the scenes and the atmospheres.The directors and the producers direct to form a green screen including the obstacles and those green screens get replaced with the views that are made from AI and VFX, and the actors make the scenes alive and deliver the most suitable action-packed movie scenes. This method also enhances the viewers' experience, which makes the movie a blockbuster（大片）.8. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1?A. How AI helps actors.B. What AI brings to movies.C. Why AI is applied to movies.D. Where AI is made full use of.9. What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. AI can be used as an editor.B. Editors consider AI irreplaceable.C. Editors used many methods to replace AI.D. AI makes what used to be complex scenes easier.10. What's the author's attitude to using VFX, animations and AI in movies?A. Supportive.B. Sceptical.C. Unconcerned.D. Enthusiastic.11. Which of the following could be the best title for thetext?A. What AI Brings Out Hollywood MoviesB. Why AI Is Applied to Hollywood MoviesC. Which Hollywood Movies Make Much Use of AID. How AI Is Being Applied to Hollywood MoviesDA team of researchers from several institutions in the UK and one in Estonia has created a type of buoy（浮标）that has proven to be effective at frightening seabirds, thus preventing them from getting caught in gillnets—a type of vertical fishing net that is made of a material that makes it nearly invisible underwater.Every year, hundreds of thousands of seabirds die when they get caught in gillnets. Some estimates suggest that up to a half-million birds are caught in them each year. Over the years, researchers have created devices（装置）to prevent the birds from trying to catch fish near or in gillnets, but those didn't work well.To find a way that would work for all seabirds, the researchers first studied seabirds in a general sense, looking to find things that they would avoid. They noted that seabirds avoided eye contact with other creatures. Then the researchers came up with a simple idea—they put a small pole to a regular buoy and then attached a pair of googly eyes（金鱼眼）to the top of it. They made the eyes big enough so that even birds with poor eyesight, such as geese, would see them. Adding to the effectiveness of the device, waves made the eyes move back and forth. And the wind made the buoy spin very slowly, making sure that birds from every direction would get a good look at the eyes.To test their idea, the researchers selected several sites near gillnets and counted how many birds approached and how many attempted to catch fish near the nets. They then set up their googly-eyed buoys and once again counted birds. Over the course of 62 days, they found the number of birds that tried to catch fish near the gillnets dropped by approximately 25% for a distance of up to 50 meters. They also found that the birds were less likely to fish near where the buoys had been for up to three weeks after they had been removed.12. What is the function of paragraph 2?A. Introducing a new topic to discuss.B. Providing background information.C. Summarizing the previous paragraph.D. Pointing out the main idea of the text.13. Why did the researchers make the googly eyes big?A. To ensure all the seabirds can see them.B. To clearly observe seabirds' eye contact.C. To allow them to survive the strong wind.D. To effectively identify the right direction.14. What does the researchers' test result mainly suggest?A. The new device still needs improvingB. Gillnets are a death valley for seabirds.C. Seabirds hardly catch fish near the nets.D. The googly-eyed buoy proves effective.15. What is the text mainly about?A. A group of researchers interested in seabirds.B. A way to help seabirds catch fish effectively.C. A device keeping seabirds safe from gillnets.D. A googly-eyed buoy guiding seabirds to hunt.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

广东省佛山市2019-2020学年高三第一学期期末考试英语试卷(一模)[解析版]

广东省佛山市2019-2020学年高三第一学期期末考试（一模）英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分30 分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．1．（6分）The Worlds' Best BookshopsThere's nothing like being surrounded by books，wherever you are．Here are the finest oases of literature that travellers can bring you．Daikanyama T﹣site | TokyoIt is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful，crisscrossed architecture．Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors' worth of bookshelves，there's the bar，the coffee shop，or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer．Grab a book，order a beer and dive into its pages．I could have stayed hours here．City Lights | San FranciscoThe three﹣storey establishment publishes and sells titles in poetry，fiction，translation，politics，history and the arts．It hosts events and readings，and runs a non﹣profit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature．It's opposite Vesuvio，a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat﹣generation writers and artists．Shakespeare and Company | ParisI made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris．It has two floorspacked with English﹣language texts，and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space1devoted to notes from visitors ﹣heartfelt messages to a loved one，dedications to the shop itself，or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher．Hutatma Chowk | MumbaiA few years ago I visited India，investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country．I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarp﹣covered book stalls at Hutatma Chowk （Martyrs' Square）．The booksellers here are like amateur librarians，able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for．To me，those well﹣thumbed （翻旧了的）books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the 150 years since the city gave us Kipling．（1）In which bookshop can you buy a drink while visiting？A．Daikanyama T﹣siteB．City LightsC．Shakespeare and CompanyD．Hutatma Chowk（2）What can be learned about the book stalls at Hutatma Chowk？A．People can meet Rudyard Kipling there．B．They sell the cheapest books in the world．C．The book owners are amateur librarians．D．The sellers are familiar with the books．（3）What do the four bookstores have in common？A．They are beautifully designed．B．They are three﹣storey buildings．2C．They offer book lovers good experience．D．They are frequently visited by great writers．2．（8分）Howard Weistling wanted to be a comic strip （连环漫画）artist．But when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor，he joined the Army．After flight engineer training，Howard was shipped off to Europe．On his maiden flight，his plane was shot down over Austria．The entire crew of eight men landed safely．But a farmer found Howard hiding in his barn and turned him over to a prison of war camp in Barth，Germany．It was freezing and the men almost starved to death eating the guards' garbage．Hungry and homesick Howard coped the only way he knew how．He drew a comic strip．The book，made of cigarette wrappers bound together with scrap metal，was sent around the camp．Every couple of days he would add a new panel．One panel at a time would be passed around the whole camp．And they'd have something to look forward to．After an entire year of this，they woke one morning to find their guards gone．They fled and Howard finally got to go home．Just lucky to get out alive，he left the book behind．Back home in California，Howard soon had a wife and kids to feed so he had to set aside his dream of becoming an artist．He took a job as a gardener instead．Morgan shared his father's artistic gifts．At 15 his parents sent him to art school．And Howard got to see his son become a well﹣known painter before he died in 2002．That's how，seven decades after the war，when a stranger in New York googled the name "Weistling，" he found Morgan online．"I get an email from a gentleman and he says，‘I think I may have some drawings your father did when he was a POW （prisoner of war）in World War II，'" Morgan recalls．"‘Would you like them？' And I just stared at that email and started crying．"Luckily Howard had engraved his name on the comic book，which is how the man from3New York City had connected with Morgan．A couple of days later when it arrived in California，Morgan couldn't believe it．"It was like getting my father back，" Morgan says．"It was like him being able to tell me the story over again ﹣only this time it was real in my hands．"（1）The passage details Howard's life as a POW to show that．A．war cannot stop his pursuit of successB．passion for art helped ease his sufferingsC．loss of freedom encouraged his creativityD．misery drives him to fight against his fate（2）What can we infer about Howard's comic strip in prison？A．It satisfied prisoners' curiosity．B．It aroused the guards' sympathy．C．It was popular among the prisoners．D．It raised prisoners' confidence in freedom．（3）What contributes to the stranger's success in finding Morgan？A．The email from a gentleman．B．Howard's experience in the war．C．Morgan's recalling of his father．D．Morgan's status in the field of art．（4）What can we infer about Morgan from the last paragraph？A．He didn't believe the stranger's story．4B．He was excited to get the comic strip．C．He couldn't wait to tell others his good news．D．He hadn't heard about his father's war stories．3．（8分）Your brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you．Now，it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old．A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their realage．Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine﹣learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age．To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife，Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive （认知的）testing since they were 3 years old．When the volunteers，all aged between 43 and 46，underwent MRI brain scans，the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71．Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition，memory and IQ．The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly，and vice versa （反之亦然）．However，the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngest﹣looking brains．This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life．Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia （痴呆）to be started sooner．This means treatments might have a better chance of working．We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing，but given the known benefits to the brain5of healthy eating and exercise，these aren't a bad place to start．（1）What helps predict the speed of one's brain ageing？A．One's health condition．B．A test result at the age of 3．C．The actual age of one's brain．D．A machine for medical check．（2）What is the purpose of Elliott's research？A．To find out why people look older or younger．B．To measure people's brain age at different stages．C．To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines．D．To explore the relationship between brain age and future health．（3）What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？A．The influence of cognitive tests．B．The procedure of Elliott's study．C．The information about volunteers．D．The findings of the brain research．（4）What do the findings of the research imply？A．We should test our brain age earliest possible．B．People suffering dementia can go on working．C．Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age．6D．Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing．4．（8分）One of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect，which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence．Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies．And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development．He was history's greatest child genius，performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"．So，if you have kids or you're expecting to have them，how seriously should you take the Mozart effect？Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle （摇篮）be limited to an ordinary life？Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart？Relax．There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities．The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993，which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的）skills．This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician，Don Campbell，in a book．Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart﹣based enrichment activities．In 1998，for example，the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical﹣music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state．Since then，scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it．The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999，and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible．In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development，and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．7（1）People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he．A．owned extraordinary music talentB．could perform music as a childC．offered music to pregnant womenD．was an royal Austrian composer（2）What can we know about the small study in 1993？A．It added to the popularity of Mozart's music．B．It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect．C．It helped college students make academic progress．D．It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music．（3）What does the underlined word "negligible" probably mean？A．Sudden．B．Insignificant．C．Average．D．Steady．（4）What can be the best title for the text？A．New Findings：Mozart Effect to Be ProvedB．Secrets Uncovered：History of Mozart EffectC．Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter？D．How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence？8第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（10分）Your comfort zone is a behavioral space where your activities and behaviors fit a routine and pattern that minimizes stress and risk．（1）You benefit in obvious ways：regular happiness，low anxiety，and reduced stress．Leaving your comfort zone can have very positive results，though．For one thing，you'll surely be more productive if you're willing to move out of it．With the sense of unease that comes from having deadlines and expectations，you'll have the drive and ambition to do more and learn new things．（2）For another，learning to live outside your comfort zone can prepare you for life changes that force you out of it．Fear and uncertainty always exist in our life．By challenging yourself to things you normally wouldn't do，you can experience some of that uncertainty in a controlled and manageable environment．While outside your comfort zone can be a good place to be，（3）．You can start by doing everyday things differently．For example，you can take a different route to work or try a new restaurant．Besides，you should remember to break out in small steps．You get the same benefits whether you go with long strides （大步）or you start slow．If you're socially anxious，don't suppose you have to gather the courage to ask your crush （爱慕之人）on a date right away．（4）Identify your fears，and then face them step by step．Trying new things is difficult，so it's important to understand how habits form and how we can break them．（5）A．It provides a state of mental security．B．it's of great necessity to find ways to break out of itC．it's a pleasant experience to stay in the comfort zoneD．You have to manage that stress and risk in a clever way．9E．Just say hello to them and see where you can go from there．F．That means you will get more done and find smarter ways to work．G．And it's as important to press yourself out of your comfort zone by doing specific things．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45 分）第一节完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1.5 分，满分30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．6．（30分）Two Texas football players have gone

being surrounded by books，wherever you are．Here are the finest oases of literature that travellers can bring you．Daikanyama T﹣site | TokyoIt is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful，crisscrossed architecture．Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors' worth of bookshelves，there's the bar，the coffee shop，or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer．Grab a book，order a beer and dive into its pages．I could have stayed hours here．City Lights | San FranciscoThe three﹣storey establishment publishes and sells titles in poetry，fiction，translation，politics，history and the arts．It hosts events and readings，and runs a non﹣profit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature．It's opposite Vesuvio，a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat﹣generation writers and artists．14Shakespeare and Company | ParisI made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris．It has two floors packed with English﹣language texts，and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space devoted to notes from visitors ﹣heartfelt messages to a loved one，dedications to the shop itself，or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher．Hutatma Chowk | MumbaiA few years ago I visited India，investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country．I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarp﹣covered book stalls at Hutatma Chowk （Martyrs' Square）．The booksellers here are like amateur librarians，able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for．To me，those well﹣thumbed （翻旧了的）books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the 150 years since the city gave us Kipling．（1）In which bookshop can you buy a drink while

Weistling wanted to be a comic strip （连环漫画）artist．But when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor，he joined the Army．After flight engineer training，Howard was shipped off to Europe．On his maiden flight，his plane was shot down over Austria．The entire crew of eight men landed safely．But a farmer found Howard hiding in his barn and turned him over to a prison of war camp in Barth，Germany．It was freezing and the men almost starved to death eating the guards' garbage．Hungry and homesick Howard coped the only way he knew how．He drew a comic strip．The book，made of cigarette wrappers bound together with scrap metal，was sent around the camp．Every couple of days he would add a new panel．One panel at a time would be passed around the whole camp．And they'd have something to look forward to．After an entire year of this，they woke one morning to find their guards gone．They fled and Howard finally got to go home．Just lucky to get out alive，he left the book behind．Back home in California，Howard soon had a wife and kids to feed so he had to set aside his dream of becoming an artist．He took a job as a gardener instead．Morgan shared his father's artistic gifts．At 15 his parents sent him to art school．And Howard got to see his son become a well﹣known painter before he died in 2002．That's how，seven decades after the war，when a stranger in New York googled the name "Weistling，" he found Morgan online．"I get an email from a gentleman and he says，‘I think I may have some drawings your father did when he was a POW （prisoner of war）in World War II，'" Morgan recalls．"17‘Would you like them？' And I just stared at that email and started crying．"Luckily Howard had engraved his name on the comic book，which is how the man from New York City had connected with Morgan．A couple of days later when it arrived in California，Morgan couldn't believe it．"It was like getting my father back，" Morgan says．"It was like him being able to tell me the story over again ﹣only this time it was real in my hands．"（1）The passage details Howard's life as a POW to show that B．A．war cannot stop his pursuit of successB．passion for art helped ease his sufferingsC．loss of freedom encouraged his creativityD．misery drives him to fight against his fate（2）What can we infer about Howard's comic strip in prison？CA．It satisfied prisoners' curiosity．B．It aroused the guards' sympathy．C．It was popular among the prisoners．D．It raised prisoners' confidence in freedom．（3）What contributes to the stranger's success in finding Morgan？DA．The email from a gentleman．B．Howard's experience in the war．C．Morgan's recalling of his father．D．Morgan's status in the field of art．18（4）What can we infer about Morgan from the last paragraph？BA．He didn't believe the stranger's story．B．He was excited to get the comic strip．C．He couldn't wait to tell others his good news．D．He hadn't heard about his father's war stories．【分析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了霍华德作为战俘的生活中对艺术的热情有助于减轻他的痛苦．【解答】1．B．细节理解题．根据文章第三段Hungry and homesick Howard coped the only way he knew how．He drew a comic strip．饥饿和想家的霍华德只是设法应付，他画了一幅连环画．可知这篇文章详细描述了霍华德作为战俘的生活对艺术的热情有助于减轻他的痛苦；故选B．2．C．推理判断题．根据文章第三段Every couple of days he would add a new panel．One panel at a time would be passed around the whole camp．And they'd have something to look forward to．每隔几天，他就会增加一个新的小组．一次一个小组将被传递到整个营地．他们会有一些期待的东西．可知霍华德在监狱里的连环画它在囚犯中很受欢迎；故选C．3．D．细节理解题．根据文章第六段That's how，seven decades after the war，when a stranger in New York googled the name "Weistling，" he found Morgan online．这就是为什么战后七十年，当一个陌生人在纽约谷歌的名字"威斯特林，"他发现摩根在网上．可知是摩根在艺术领域的地位促使陌生人成功找到摩根的；故选D．4．B．推理判断题．根据文章最后一段A couple of days later when it arrived in California，Morgan couldn't believe it．"It was like getting my father back，" Morgan says．几天后，当它到达加州，摩根不敢相信．"这就像让我父亲回来，摩根说．"可知从最后一段我们能推断出摩根他很兴奋能拿到连环画；故选B．【点评】考察学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的的能力，在做推理判断题不要以个人19的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．此类的填空题一定要联系上下文，根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解，再作出正确的判断3．（8分）Your brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you．Now，it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old．A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their realage．Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine﹣learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age．To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife，Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of 869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive （认知的）testing since they were 3 years old．When the volunteers，all aged between 43 and 46，underwent MRI brain scans，the team found that their brain ages ranged from 23 to 71．Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition，memory and IQ．The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly，and vice versa （反之亦然）．However，the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were 3 years old went on to have the youngest﹣looking brains．This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life．Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia （痴呆）to be started sooner．This means treatments might have a better chance of working．We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing，but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise，these aren't a bad place to start．20。

Fall Into Arts Festival is especially welcomed by ______.A. movie loversB. modern artistsC. visitors of all agesD. families with kidsBIn a win for literary fiction amid declining sales, Sally Rooney’s novel Normal People has been named Waterstones book of the year in 2018.Rooney’s second novel, which follows two young people falling in love in Ireland, has sold 41,000 copies in hardback in the UK since it was released in August – five times the hardback sales of her 2017 debut, Conversations With Friends. At 27, Rooney is now the youngest winner of the award, which is given by the UK’s biggest bookshop chain, Watersones.Normal People received almost universal applause upon its release. Longlisted for the Man Booker prize, the book won novel of the year at the An Post Irish book awards in November of 2018 and has also been shortlisted for the Costa novel of the year, announced in January of 2019.The reader response to Normal People had been astonishing. As well as the universal praise, it has been a huge word-of-mouth (口头的) hit. There’re customers returning to buy multiple copies as gifts. Normal People strengthened Sally Rooney’s reputation as the voice of her generation and one of the most exciting novelists around today. Its success is a testament to the health of literary fiction and indicates that there is still significant appetite for excellent storytelling.The award, established in 2012, tends to go to books that are already bestsellers near Christmas. It has previously been won by the late American author John Williams’s Stoner, the cookbook Polpo by Russell Norman, and last year’s choice, Philip Pullman’s La Belle Sauvage.James Daunt,Waterstones’ managing director, said Rooney’s win was a sign of the healthy state of literary fiction, which has seen sales decrease over the las t decade. “We are delighted to name it our book of the year,” he said.24. What do we know about the current situation of literary fiction?A. It sells well in Waterstones.B. It doesn’t enjoy popularity.C. It mainly tells love stories.D. It is a big winner in 2018.25. What can we infer about Normal People?A. I t was Britain’s most popular book in 2018.B. It won different awards in a lot of countries.C. It received praise soon after it was published.D. It made its author the voice of young people.26. The underlined word “te stament”is closest in meaning to “______”.A. examinationB. evidenceC. concernD. statement27. What is the main function of Paragraph 5?A. To attract readers’ attention.B. To introduce other prize winners.C. To serve as background information.D. To compare Sally’s novel with other books.CIn 2011, Nancy Ballard went for a routine checkup that turned into something extraordinary. In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she’d done when she arrived at her doctor’s San Francisco office. “It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy (化疗) rooms,” the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one.She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint was chipping (剥落). It was a depressing room for a depressing routine – patients restricted to chemo drips for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at other than those sad walls. Ballard didn’t havecancer herself, but she could sympathize wit h the patients. “I couldn’t imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that,” she says. As it happens, Ballard’s physician, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her mission to brighten up the place.She started by e-mailing 20 local designers. “I wrote, ‘You don’t know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms,’” she remembers. She then asked whether they would donate the ir time and money to transform just one of Dr. Hufford’s rooms each.As it happened, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork, and furniture. Dr. Hufford was delighted. “All the patients feel relieved of t he pain because of it,” he said. He even noted that his own tone of voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients.Ballard was so encouraged by the patients’ reactions that she created a nonprofit, Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. “We were in Philadelphia for a ribbon cutting, and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer,” says Ballard. “When she sa w what we’d done, she said, ‘I’m gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn’t going to, but now I know I’m gonna beat it.’”28. What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms?A. Her sympathy for cancer patients.B. Her passion for room decoration.C. The good relationship with Hufford.D. The request of a nurse in San Francisco.29. What outcome does Ballard’s effort bring about?A. More hospitals will be built.B. Hufford cured more patients.C. The cancer patients were feeling better.D. Hufford’s chemotherapy rooms got good fame.30. Which words best describe Nancy Ballard?A. Loving and devoted.B. Talented and energetic.C. Rich and generous.D. Ambitious and creative.31. Which can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Design for HopeB. Battle against CancerC. Donation for PatientsD. Decoration in HospitalDPlants are boring. They just sit there photosynthesizing (光合作用) while animals have all the fun. Right? Not so much. A new study has found that there is a long history of interactions between ants and plants. The ant and plant co-evolution (协同进化) started with ants feeding on plants and plants evolving ant-friendly features.Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use. Some plants have evolved features that persuade ants into defending them from attack from other insects and even mammals. These include hollow thorns that ants will live inside, or extra nectar (琼浆) on leaves or stems for the ants to eat. Some ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run, but some will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant. Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around, by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds. The ant will pick up the seed and carry it away, eat the food packet, and leave the seed – often in a nutrient-rich area where it’ll grow better, and since it’s farther away from its parent, they won’t have to compete for resources.But scientists weren’t sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got started. If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to make use of their neighbors, then scientists wanted to know whether plants or ants fired the first shot. It was a chicken-and-egg question, whether things started with ants developing behaviors to take advantage of plants, or plants evolving structures to take advantage of ants.The history of ants and plants evolving together goes back to the time of the dinosaurs, and it’s not easy to tell from fossils who fired the first shot. However, it is a question of little significance. Scientists say their study matters because it provides a look at how these widespread and complex interactions evolved.32. Some plants attach food packets to their seeds in order to ______.A. reward the antsB. make a fool of antsC. provide nutrition for the seedsD. get the seeds moved around33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. How plants and ants interact.B. What ants do to protect plants.C. How plants and ants survive attacks.D. Why plants and ants need co-evolution.34. Which is true about the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants?A. Ants depended more upon plants.B. It caused a race for better evolution.C. How it got started was uncertain.D. It was of little value for future studies.35. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To introduce a science research method.B. To inform readers of a latest research finding.C. To arouse readers’ interest in science research.D. To criticize people’s traditional views about plants.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。

extraordinary．In fact，she was carrying a painting of a plant she'd done when she arrived at her doctor's San Francisco office．It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy （化疗）rooms，the nurse said．Ballard asked to see one．She was shocked by what she found．The walls were dull and bare，and the paint was chipping（剥落）．It was a depressing room for a depressing routine ﹣patients restricted to chemo drips for perhaps several hours，often with nothing to look at other than those sad walls．Ballard didn't have cancer herself，but she could sympathize with the patients．I couldn't imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that，she says．As it happens，Ballard's physician，Stephen Hufford，was ill with cancer himself，so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to﹣do list．So Ballard made it her mission to brighten up the place．She started by e﹣mailing 20local designers．I wrote，'You don't know me．But my heart hurts after

there is a long history of interactions between ants and plants．The ant and plant co﹣evolution （协同进化）startedwith ants feeding on plants and plants evolving ant﹣friendly features．Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use．Some plantshave evolved features that persuade ants into defending them from attack from other insectsand even mammal?．Тhе?е?ncludеhollow thorns that ant? will live ?n??dе，or еxtra nеctar （琼浆）оn lеavе? or stems for the ants to eat．Some ants will just cheat andtake the nectar and run，but some will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant．Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around，by providing them withrich food packets attached to the seeds．The ant will pick up the seed and carry it away，eatthe food packet，and leave the seed ﹣often in a nutrient﹣rich area where it'll grow better，学习资料．学习资料收集于网络，仅供参考and since it's farther away from its parent，they won't have to compete for resources．But scientists weren't sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got started．If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to make use of their neighbors，then scientists wanted to know whether plants or ants fired the first shot．It was a chicken﹣and﹣egg question，whether things started with ants developing behaviors to take advantage of plants，or plants evolving structures to take advantage of ants．The history of ants and plants evolving together goes back to the time of the dinosaurs，and it's not easy to tell from fossils who fired the first shot．However，it is a question of little significance．Scientists say their study maters because it provides a look at how these widespread and complex interactions evolved．（1）Some plants attach food packets to their seeds in order to．A．reward the antsB．make a fool of antsC．provide nutrition for the seedsD．get the seeds moved around（2）What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us？A．How plants and ants interact．B．What ants do to protect

several tips for you to begin with：●Physical appearance matters．We're visual creatures after all．Physical appearance is the first clue one relies on to judge who we are．（1）Italso means the person means something to us by dressing properly．If it is a business setting，be aware of the dress rule or culture．（2） A thumbs﹣up here does not mean the same elsewhere．So do the research! Details from any little areas will affect the impression on the whole．●（3）A fake （假的）smile can potentially do more harm than good in our attempts to leave agood impression．It is understandable that sometimes it is hard to suddenly force a smile．（4）Remember being positive plays an important part in shaping our first impression．●Look into people's eyes until you see the colors of their iris

The decision was announced during the online meeting of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage held from December 14 to19 inKingston, capital ofJamaica.“Born in the mid-17th century in a small village named Chenjiagou located in Central China's Henan province, Tai Chi is not only a kind of traditional Wushu integrated with slow movements and deep breathing, but is also deeply rooted in many areas of Chinese culture, such as medicine and philosophy,”Zhu Xianghua says, who is the son of the famous Tai Chi master Zhu Tiancai.Although it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions, attracting more than 100 million people to practice, the idea that Tai Chi is for the elderly has stopped many young people practicing the ancient Wushu. They think of it as a slow exercise, which is specially made and better suited for their grandparents. Instead, many young people are turning to the Indian practice of yoga（瑜伽）to relieve stress, which was placed on the UNESCO's List in 2019.In order to promote Tai Chi, joint efforts have been made from individuals and the Chinese government in thelast decades. Xi'an Jiaotong University requires students to learn Tai Chi. Wang Yunbing, a professor in the university's sports center, stressed that Tai Chi is not only good physical exercise-researchers from the American College of Rheumatology find that it can help manage several diseases but is also conned ted to ancient Chinese eivilization. Since 2014, the World Tai Chi Championships have been held every two years by the International Wushu Federation. It provides a platform for communication and learning between the Tai Chi masters and Tai Chi lovers around the globe. In January 2020, Tai Chi became an official event in the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games.4. What does Zhu Xianghua say about Tai Chi in paragraph 2?A. It originated from fast Kung Fu action.B.

Tai Chi Has Regained populate Globally.D. Opinions Greatly Differ on Tai Chi and Yoga.CMany cars in advertisements and on exhibition in the United States are red, blue or green, but almost 75 percent of new cars sold in the United States are black, white, silver orgray.Les Jackson is a reporter who writes about cars. He says the color1 s of cars Americans choose do not show dirt. He says that means the owners wash their cars less in order to save money. And he notes some areas that are suffering from water shortages do not permit people to wash their cars often.Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta, which makes supplies for international car makers. He says white cars are often sold more expensive than cars of other color1 s. And he notes that white cars “absorb(吸收)less energy” than cars of other color1 s. This means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas. Benton also says research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk of crashes during the day for white cars compared with darker ones.Car buyers in other countries also like white. Jane Harrington works for PPG Industries, a company that makes paint for cars. She said in China, buyers say white makes a small car look bigger.About 11 percent of cars sold in North America are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has become less popular. Benton notes that in the mid-1990s green was the most popular color1 in North America. Today, green is hard to find.Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color1 of their cars —— technology may let owners change their cars’ paint color1 anytime.8.

Alvin Irby was at a barbershop when he saw one of his former students sitting in the shop with a bored look on his face. That’s when Irby realized that by pairing barbershops and books, he might be able to inspire young boys to read.Alvin Irby, a former kindergarten and first-grade teacher, knows how important it is for young children to read. He also knows that young boys in particular often don’t have adult male role models who inspire them to read. “Many young boys may literally never see a man reading in school during the years when they’re learning to read because there are so few male elementary school teachers,” Irby toldMashable.That’s where the barbershops come in. Four years ago, Irby launched Barbershop Books as a way to not just get books into the hands of young boys, but also to create community reading spaces in a place where kids go frequently. Since itsinceptionin 2013, the program has created kid-friendly reading spaces in 50 barbershops in 12 states throughout the United States.Irby isn’t the first person to see the connection between barbershops and books and boys. Hair stylist Courtney Holmes, launched a program a few years ago offering free haircuts to kids as long as they read to him while he cuts their hair.That’s the kind of environment that Irby wants to promote with his program. The reading spaces created by Barbershop Books help to spark an interest in books by showing kids that reading is about more than just spelling and vocabulary skills, it’s about making reading a low-stress activity that can help them relax, laugh and have fun.“Our belief is that if we can create positive reading experiences early and often for young boys, then they will choose to read for fun,” Irby noted, adding, “This is really what Barbershop Books is about, getting young boys to say three words: I’m a reader.”12. What happened to Alvin when he was at a barbershop?A. He found it easy for young people to get bored.B. He offered a barbershop to his former student.C. He thought of a way to encourage young readers.D. He realized the importance of reading for young boys.13. What is the function of Barbershop Books?A. To attract more customers who love films.B. To provide free haircuts to book lovers.C. To show the influence of reading on children.D. To create a reading environment fbr children.14. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. reading is a low-stress activity that is relaxingB. Barbershop Books is only suitable for young boysC. Irby attaches great importance to school educationD. Barbershop Books can arouse (引起) young people’s interest in reading15. What does the underlined word “inception” in the 3rdparagraph mean?A. discovery.B. success.C. popularity.D. beginning.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模英语试卷-学生用卷

2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模英语试卷-学生用卷一、阅读（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）1、【来源】 2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模（A篇）第1~3题6分Cities That Are Running Out of Water Even though 70 percent of the globe is covered in water, only 3 percent of that is freshwater-and about 99 percent of that non-saltwater is stuck in glaciers（冰川） and snowfields. No continent is safe from a lack of clean drinking water.Cape Town, South AfricaCape Town found itself in crisis in 2018 as the city prepared for "Day Zero, " when little rainfall and low dam levels left the city with no water. However, restrictions on water usage proved effective, and the city was able to push Day Zero back to sometime in 2019 and loosen the restrictions. Other challenges facing Cape Town include a growing population, pollution of rivers, and so on.Mexico City, MexicoMexico's capital grew 100 times its geographic size and seven times its population between 1950 and 2010, wiping out the area's lakes and taking a toll on its underground aquifers（含水层）. About 40 percent of Mexico City's water supply is shipped in from far away, and much of the water that can be piped in is lost to leaks and thefts.Chennal, IndiaIn 2014, intense droughts（干旱） dried up at least six lakes around Chennai, plus took a toll on the groundwater. The city, whose population has grown to six million, was receiving only about half of the amount of the water it normally used every day.Bangalore, IndiaDroughts from recent years are causing Bangalore to nun out of water. When the "Silicon Valley of India" doubled its population in the 2000s, urban development filled in hundreds of lakes and prevented rain from soaking into groundwater. About half of the city's population relies on tanks of water because the pipes have run dry.Melbourne, AustraliaBetween population growth and climate change, a recent Melbourne Water report pointed out the city could start using more water than its dams can supply as early as 2028. Even a proposal to build up the desalination（脱盐作用） plant, which makes saltwater drinkable, would only increase water supply by about 0.1 percent. Luckily, you can help make a difference by giving up these habits that you didn't realize were wasting water and harming the environment.(1) How does Mexico City get nearly half of its water supply?A. By storing water in glaciers.B. By pumping underground water.C. By shipping in water from other places.D. By making saltwater drinkable.(2) What can citizens in Melbourne do to ease the problem of water shortage?A. Build more dams.B. Stop wasting water.C. Collect more rain water.D. Buy more tanks of water.(3) Which is the most common cause of lack of water for the five cities?A. Growing population.B. Serious pollution.C. Less underground water.D. Low dam levels.2、【来源】 2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模（B篇）第4~7题8分For many young people, summer is an exciting period where education stops and fun begins. However, holidays, festivals and time spent with friends cost money. And the very group who have the time to make the best of the fun during holiday may not have the money to do so. The solution? A summer job.There are opportunities out there for those who want to earn. And the money is not the only thing that's gained. "Summer jobs prepare young people for successful careers in later life, teaching vital 'soft skills', " says UK Work and Pensions secretary Ester McVey in the Daily Mail. Indeed, when talking about their experiences of summer jobs, people asked for a BBC News article said they got "invaluable training" and learnt skills such as punctuality, tolerance, and the importance of hard work. These opportunities are thought to be so important that the UK government has placed 20, 000 summer job positions on its Find a Job website.However, the percentage of young people working while studying has fallen to 18% from 42% in 1997. Those are the findings of a UK government report on the death of the summer job. Ester McVeybelieves this is because young people are choosing to focus more on education rather than earning extra money. But that isn't the only problem. It isn't always easy to get a job, as 20-year-old Liberty O'Hagan, a student from Worthing, found. She told the BBC that employers see summer workers as a waste of training resources since they have to return to university. Not to mention, by working all summer, you may feel you have missed out on the experiences and opportunities your friends have had—travelling and having fun.While a summer job may not be a dream job, it can teach you things for "a successful future, " says Ester McVey. What students may consider a means to an end, can, in fact, become a worthwhile career-making effort.(1) Who are summer jobs most suitable for?A. People who have been jobless for a while.B. Groups that always spend a lot in all festivals.C. Young people who have finished their education.D. Students who need money to enjoy their holidays.(2) According to paragraph 2, what do people think of summer jobs?A. They have no fun at all.B. They improve students' general qualities.C. They are valueless for their careers.D. They train students to be expert workers.(3) What might be a drawback of summer jobs?A. They cannot teach students real working skills.B. They are far less important than students' education.C. They cannot meet students' need for earning money.D. They may leave students no time to enjoy their holiday.(4) What is the best title for the passage?A. Ways to Get a JobB. Taking a Summer JobC. Jobs and EducationD. A Successful Career3、【来源】 2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模（C篇）第8~11题8分The world watched in heartbreak on Monday as the Notre Dame Cathedral（巴黎圣母院） in Paris was caught by fire. Countless people shared digital images of the cathedral online, inspiring hope that it could be rebuilt with such resources, Indeed, Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral has for centuries inspired artists, photographers and others who sought to copy its form Among those was the late Andrew Talon, a professor who used laser（激光） scanning to create a huge number of digital files that recorded the cathedral down to its precise measurements.Digital preservation is a booming field in which Murray and Tallon were pioneers—they produced the first laser scan of a Gothic（哥特式的） Cathedral in 2000. In 2011, Murray and Tallon co-founded an organization called Mapping Gothic France. Tallon also advanced the field ay combining laser scans with spherical panorama（球面全景的） pictures. Combined with those images, it would look more like the skin of a building we're accustomed to seeing.Tallon's work came to life in his 2013 book, Notre-dame de Paris. Tallon used a laser scanner to send out laser to measure the distance between the scanner itself and anything the laser hits, creating billions of dots of light across the structure to form a 3D sense. Murray noted that laser scanning is a "surprisingly physical task, " involving carrying the scanner to hard-to-reach spots. "It's not for the faint-hearted, " he said. "It demands great skill and strong will."After Tallen passed away, his colleagues are now working on his research with his raw data. Cook, one of his colleagues, said, "With the ample data, there are certain images that have been created, but there are all kinds of other ways you can put it together and create new pictures."Cook said it's unclear whether the authorities involved in rebuilding Notre Dame will want to use Tallon's data. "Of course, it'd be available to them if they decide that's necessary, " she said. "It's really wonderful the material exists so there's at least a backup of all of this data."(1) According to Paragraph 2, what can be inferred about Tallon?A. He invented the first loser scan machine in 2000.B. He founded Mapping Gothic France on his own.C. He made great contributions to digital preservation.D. Ho was accustomed to seeing the skin of a building.(2) The underlined word "faint-hearted" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaningto.A. weak-mindedB. cold-heartedC. panic-strickenD. hot-tempered(3) What do the authorities think of Tallon's data?A. They believe it is rather necessary.B. They think it risky to use raw data.C. They consider it a wonderful backup choice.D. They haven't taken an attitude toward is publicly.(4) What is this passage mainly about?A. The origin and development of laser scanning.B. The damage of Notre Dame Cathedral in a fire.C. A review of the wonderful life of Andrew Tallon.D. A possible technology to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral.4、【来源】 2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模（D篇）第12~15题8分Whether you're a foodie or someone who just likes eating, there is so much to choose from. But for some people, having a food allergy means that eating certain things can actually be harmful and now, it seems, this is affecting more and more of us.Food allergies can cause life-threatening reactions, which means people have to follow strict dietary restrictions and worry about the ingredients of everything they consume. We often hear about people having allergies to dairy products and to peanuts. Last year a 15-year-old girl died after suffering a deadly allergic reaction from eating a baguette containing sesame seeds. This led to a call for better food-labeling （食物标记） laws.Research has found that this problem is particularly affecting children. More and more of them are having allergic reactions to certain foodstuffs. Writing for the BBC website, Dr. Santos from King's College London says "food allergy now affects about 7% of children in the UK and 9% of those in Australia, for example. Across Europe, 2% of adults have food allergies."So what might be the cause? Allergy specialist Dr. Fox says "if you look back over, say, 30 or 40 years…there are much more allergic problems around now than there were." Dr. Santos says the increase in allergies is not simply the effect of society becoming more aware of them and better at diagnosing them; it seems to be more environmental. She says possible factors are "pollution, dietary changes and less exposure to microbes（微生物）, which change how our immune systems respond." She points out thatit's very common for migrants who move to another country to develop asthma（哮喘） and food allergies in their new location.A lot of work is being done to try and find a cure, but that's not easy. So for now allergy sufferers must watch what they eat and they must rely on clear and accurate labeling.(1) A food allergy is.A. a harmful result of eating too muchB. a kind of food to make certain people sickC. a dangerous reaction after eating certain foodD. a disease caused by people's eating unhealthy food(2) What can people do to avoid food allergy?A. Watch out for certain food.B. Stop eating peanuts.C. Eat their favourite food more often.D. Learn food labeling laws.(3) Why is food allergy more serious than before?A. Because there are less microbes.B. Because the food is of poor quality.C. Because the environment has changed.D. Because people's eating habits are consistent.(4) What does the writer think of food allergy?A. It is no big deal.B. It is worth our caution.C. It will become worse.D. It is only dangerous to some.二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）5、【来源】 2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模第16~20题10分What to Drink to Help You Sleep When winding down, you might enjoy having a drink before bedtime.1? It turns out that experts advise to avoid certain drinks before bedtime, while the research on drinks to promote quality sleep remains not as clear."Things that contain caffeine are definitely going to be less-than-desirable for most people, " said Jessica Redmond, assistant professor at Syracuse University, "2. They may even need to cut down the caffeine in their day at some point in the afternoon or certainly by dinner time so that they can then have a restful night sleep."Caffeine can also be found in certain teas, soda and chocolate, and while a night drink might be tempting, experts say alcohol should be avoided, too. Alcohol may help you fall asleep, but that's where the benefits end.3and dramatically reduces the quality of your rest at night.As far as what might be helpful for sleep quality, some studies suggest that consuming milk might help improve falling asleep.4. At this point there's so much research that has looked at the effects of milk and there's not necessarily an obvious connection that makes it a universal recommendation.As for Redmond, she doesn't have a specific bedtime routine other than trying to get somewater.5. To prevent such situation, the National Academies of Sciences recommend for men to consume about 3.7 liters, or 15.5 cups, of water on average each day and for women to consume about 2.7 liters, or 11.5 cups.A. That's not just right before bedB. Alcohol has some benefits to some extentC. Instead, it traps you in the lighter stages of sleepD. So, should we avoid drinking too much caffeineE. But it might be more sort of psychological than anything elseF. But are there any drinks that could be helpful or harmful for quality sleepG. Going to bed without adequate water to maintain your body can affect your sleep三、选词填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分）6、【来源】 2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模第21~40题30分I took a job as a receptionist for a vet（兽医） five decades ago.

At 27, Rooney is now the youngest winner of the award, which is given by the UK's biggest bookshop chain, Waterstones.Normal People received almost universal applause upon its release. Longlisted for the Man Booker prize, the book won novel of the year at the An Post Irish book awards in November of2018 and has also been shortlisted for the Costa novel of the year, announced in January of 2019.The reader response to Normal People had been astonishing. As well as the universal praise, it has been a huge word- of-mouth (口头的) hit. There're customers returning to buy multiple copies as gifts. Normal People strengthened Sally Rooney's reputation as the voice of her generation and one of the most exciting novelists around today. Its success is a testament to the health of literary fiction and indicates that there is still significant appetite for excellent storytelling.The award, established in 2012, tends to go to books that are already bestsellers near Christmas. It has previously been won by the late American author John Williams's Stoner, the cookbook Polpo by Russell Norman, and last year's choice, Philip Pullman's La Belle Sauvage.James Daunt, Waterstones' managing director, said Rooney's win was a sign of the healthy state of literary fiction, which has seen sales decrease over the last decade.

To introduce other prize winnersC. To serve as background information.D. To compare Sally's novel with other books.CIn 201 l, Nancy Ballard went for a routine checkup that turned into something extraordinary. In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she'd done when she arrived at her doctor's San Francisco office. "It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy (化疗) rooms," the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one.She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint was chipping(剥落). It was a depressing room for a depressing routine - patients restricted to chemo drips for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at other than those sad walls. Ballard didn't have cancer herself, but she could sympathize with the patients. "I couldn't imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that," she says. As it happens, Ballard's physician, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her mission to brighten up the place.She started by e-mailing 20 local designers. "I wrote, 'You don't know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms," she remembers. She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr. Hufford's rooms each.As it happened, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork, and furniture. Dr. Hufford was delighted. "All the patients feel relieved of the pain because of it," he said. He even noted that his own tone of voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients.Ballard was so encouraged by the patients' reactions that she created a nonprofit, Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. "We were in Philadelphia for a ribbon cutting, and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer," says Ballard. "When she saw what we'd done, she said, 'I'm gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn't going to, but now I know I'm gonna beat it"28. What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms?A. Her sympathy for cancer patients.B. Her passion for room decoration.C. The good relationship with Hufford.D. The request of a nurse in San Francisco.29. What outcome does Ballard's effort bring about?A. More hospitals will be built,B. Hufford cured more patients.C. The cancer patients were feeling better.D. Hufford's chemotherapy rooms got good fame.30. Which words best describe Nancy Ballard?A. Loving and devoted.B. Talented and energetic.C. Rich and generous.D. Ambitious and creative.31. Which can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Design for HopeB. Battle against CancerC. Donation for PatientsD. Decoration in HospitalDPlants are boring. They just sit there photosynthesizing （光合作用）while animals have all the fun. Right? Not so much. A new study has found that there is a long history of interactions between ants and plants. The ant and plant co-evolution （协同进化）started with ants feeding on plants and plants evolving ant-friendly features.Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use. Some plants have evolved features that persuade ants into defending them from attack from other insects and ev en mаmmаlѕ. Тhеѕе іnсludе hollow thorns that аntѕ will live іnѕіdе, or ехtra nесtаr (琼浆) оn lеаvеѕ or stems for the ants to eat. Some ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run, but some will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant. Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around, by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds. The ant will pick up the seed and carry it away, eat the food packet, and leave the seed - often in a nutrient-rich area where it'll grow better, and since it's farther away from its parent, they won't have to compete for resources.But scientists weren't sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got started. If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to make use of their neighbors, then scientists wanted to know whether plants or ants fired the first shot. It was a chicken-and-egg question, whether things started with ants developing behaviors to take advantage of plants, or plants evolving structures to take advantage of ants.The history of ants and plants evolving together goes back to the time of the dinosaurs, and it's not easy to tell from fossils who fired the first shot. However, it is a question of little significance. Scientists say their study maters because it provides a look at how these widespread and complex interactions evolved.32. Some plants attach food packets to their seeds in order to .A. reward the antsB. make a fool of antsC. provide nutrition for the seedsD. get the seeds moved around33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. How plants and ants interact.B. What ants do to protect plants.C. How plants and ants survive attacks.D. Why plants and ants need co-evolution.34, Which is true about the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants?A. Ants depended more upon plants. B It caused a race for better evolution.C. How it got started was uncertain.D. It was of little value for future studies.35. What's the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A To introduce a science research method.B. To inform readers of a latest research findingC. To arouse readers' interest in science research.D. To criticize people's traditional views about plants.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。

2019-2020学年佛山南海第一中学高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ASan Francisco Bay Area is a great place if you're a sports fan as you'll find several events all year round and plenty of team pride. If you are anywhere close to the area during a game,these fantastic sports events are here for you.San Francisco Giants BaseballThe San Francisco Giants baseball team plays in SF at Oracle Park. This is a fun ballpark because it's always packed with great energy and offers views of the bay. It's one of the most popular San Francisco sports events. The Giants are part of the National League West Division. Since their arrival here in 1958,they have been World Series Champions three times.Golden State Warriors BasketballThe fan base of the Golden State Warriors distributes the whole San Francisco Bay Area as this region's only NBA team.Their regular season runs from late October through mid-April, and all home games are played at the Chase Center in San Francisco.In total, the Warriors has won six NBA championships.San Francisco 49ers FootballThe 49ers are San Francisco's NFL team, though they have recently moved to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, about an hour south of SF. The football team was named for the prospectors (探矿者) who arrived in the area in 1849 for the Gold Rush. They’ve won 5 Super Bowl championships, all between 1981 and 1994.San Jose Sharks HockeyThe San Jose Sharks represent the Bay Area in hockey (冰球).They were founded in 1991 as the only Bay Area team to compete in the NHL. Sharks fans love going to these San Francisco sports events at the SAP Center,which they call the Shark Tank,located about an hour southeast of SF.1.Where can a sports fan have a good view of the area?A.The Oracle Park.B.The Chase Center.C.Levi's Stadium.D.The SAP Center2.Which team has claimed the most titles according to the text?A.The Giants.B.The Golden State Warriors.C.The 49ers.D.The San Jose Sharks.3.Where is the passage probably taken from?A.A book review.B.A news report.C.A science fiction.D.A tourist magazine.B“Tell her,” I whispered to my daughter as she pressed her body against mine. She folded my free arm around her little shoulders while I finished loading the groceries onto the conveyer belt.I smiled at the young cashier who had a butterfly knot tied to her black ponytail(马尾辫). My daughter was right when she'd whispered to me, “Her hair is so pretty.”“Tell her,” I repeated witha gentle push. My girl only dug her pink cheeks deeper into my side as she nervously twisted the edge of my sleeve in her small fist.The cashier looked down at my daughter, her expression showing a little concern. “My daughter thinks your hair is beautiful.” I explained.The cashier's face lit up. “You do?” This led my little one out of her hiding place. She looked up and nodded.“Thank you so much! You made my day,” the cashier said with a smile brilliant enough to compete with her highlights. My daughter returned it with a shining smile of her own.As I walked out of the store, holding my daughter's hand, I stole a glance back at the young woman. Her energy was clearly brighter now than it had: been when we first entered her line.After loading my groceries in the trunk, I climbed into the driver's seat. It was then that my daughter made a declaration, “Mom, I think I'm going to start telling everyone when I like their hair.” “You should, honey.” And she did. She still does.It's a rare occasion if we make a trip out in public without her telling someone that she loves their hair, or nails, or shirt, or shoes. To be honest, I think she even does so more than me. And it's one of my favorite things about this girl. She learned, at a very young age, that by simply telling people when you see beauty in them, you can draw out the beauty of human connection.4. Why was the author's daughter nervous in the store?A. She was frightened of the cashier.B. She was too shy to express herself.C. She was unable to pay the groceries.D. She was unhappy to greet a stranger.5. What made the cashier more energetic in her work?A. The praise from a little girl.B. The support of the customers.C. The competition environment.D. The understanding of a mother.6. What does the author think of her daughter now?A. Kind and independent.B. Lively and cheerful.C. Careful and generous.D. Smart and proud.7. What is the best title of the text?A. The Beauty Of Good MannersB. The Power In Raising Others UpC. A Girl's New Way OutOf TroubleD. A Mother's Love For Her DaughterCJapan's prime minister encouraged the decision to ban viewers, even family members, by issuing a state of emergency order in Tokyo earlier this month in response to rising COVID-19 case numbers.From the perspective of sports psychologists, an Olympics without fans is a real-life science experiment that is helping researchers and clinicians to comb through the true impact of a crowd of fans on its players—and on viewers at home. The strange circumstances under which the games are held may place unexpected pressure on some athletes. On Tuesday, superstar gymnast Simone Biles dropped out of the women's team event, telling teammates and reporters she wasn't in the right “headspace” to compete. “It's been really stressful this Olympic Games. There are a lot of different variables going into it,” Biles told the Washington Post.The 2020 Summer Olympics bears similarities and differences to other major sporting events without viewers. The English Premier League supplemented (增加) game broadcasts with crowd noise from the soccer video game FIFA 20, mixed with game audio in real time. A Taiwanese baseball team and German soccer team began populating stands with cardboard cutouts of fans, and the trend caught on internationally.Jamey Houle, the lead sports psychologist for Ohio State University Athletics and a former Al-American gymnast, says competitive athletes are trained in visualization— imagining performing a certain action or motion, such as doing a roundoff back handspring in gymnastics. Without moving a muscle, players using visualization can solidify neural (神经的) connections and activate their motor cortex (皮层). To visualize most effectively, Houle says, athletes working with sports psychologists will try to simulate as closely as possible the conditions of actual gameplay. Empty stadiums may thus have a measurable impact on players' performance. This phenomenon is grounded in a psychological concept called “social facilitation”, referring to a change in a person's performance that occurs when others are around compared to when a person is alone.8. What caused Biles to drop out of the women's team event?A. The poor physical condition.B. The absence of the audience.C. The fiercely competitive event.D. The influence of crowds of fans.9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. The Taiwanese baseball team is a success.B. The tendency mentioned is popular among some sporting events.C. The 2020 Summer Olympics is stricter in preventing the pandemic.D. The crowd noise plays a leading role in the English Premier League.10. How does Houle explain the impact of empty stadiums on players' performance?A. By doing a roundoff back handspring.B. By simulating the conditions of actual gameplay.C. By using the concept called social facilitation.D. By changing the viewers of a player.11. What message does the author mainly convey in the text?A. Athletes should be trained in visualization.B. Audience should be admitted to the Olympics.C. Social facilitation is helpful to sporting events.D. Viewers present may influence players' performance.DI cried the first time I saw the Notre Dame（巴黎圣母院）years ago. I'd waited my entire life to see this great French architecture, and experienced it in its full glory on a bright sunny day. Last night, I again cried for the centuries-old church while watching it burn.I hadn't expected to spend my evening that way. My friend and I were having dinner at a cafe a block or so away from the Notre Dame, choosing to skip going inside with the intention to go back the next day.However, we heard that it caught fire, so we left the cafe and ran towards the church, following heavy smoke from it, and soon we joined a nearly silent crowd. Some were praying, some were crying, but most were staring in disbelief at the disaster happening before us. The fire continued to get worse. About 400 firefighters were working to control the fire. We could see their flashlights shining as they inspected the front from a balcony.The Notre Dame is part of the heartbeat ofParis, I reflected on the experiences I've had there, from attending a bread market out front to admiring the beautiful windows and architecture inside. It is a spot that helps makeParismagical. And here we were, watching it burn down. It was too much to handle, but it was impossible to look away.About 9：30 pm, the gathered crowd spontaneously（自发地）began to sing Hymns（圣歌）to the church. We sang along with the group, feeling at once less like tourists and more like members of them. I hadn't imagined all that before.For hundreds of years, the Notre Dame hasseen the most joyous and the most terrible moments in the lives of both France and her people. And when everyone was able to become one emotional force, it showed that even in her darkest hour, the Notre Dame was still there to bring us all together.12. Why did the author cry for the Notre Dame for the first time?A. She was touched by its greatness.B. She was sorrowful to watch it burn.C. She was regretful for missing its glory.D. She was excited about French cultures.13. What was the author doing when the Notre Dame caught fire?A. Heading for a faraway cafe.B. Visiting a church with a friend.C. Eating nearby with a friend.D. Wandering along the street alone.14. What can we know about the fire scene?A. People expressed their sadness in different ways.B. People were nervously rushing in different directions.C. Hundreds of volunteers joined in putting out the fire.D. Firefighters kept people away with shining flashlights.15. What impressed the author most?A. The church allowed visitors to gaingreat experiences.B. Many foreign tourists became members of the church.C. The church survived disasters for hundreds of years.D. People were brought together to sing to the church.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king ofEnglandin 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor inEuropelived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, king ofFrance, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit(优点) of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.4. The kings ofFranceandEnglandin the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC. they considered bathing as cause of skin diseaseD. They believed disease could be spread in public baths5. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. CuriousB. AfraidC. ApprovingD. Uninterested6. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of time.B. By making comparison.C. By providing examplesD. By following the order of importance.17. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passages?A. To call attention to the danger of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To present the change of views on dirt.D. To stress the role of dirt.CShe is one of mankind’s oldest ancestors and is more than three million years old. New analysis of the arm bones of Lucy, an early hominid, suggests she was a tree climber. Lucy’s remains were uncovered in Ethiopia in the 1970s, with the 3.18 million-year-old skeleton(骨骼)being the most complete of any upright, walking human ancestor. Since she was discovered, researchers have debated whether she spent her life in the trees or spent time walking on the plains as well.The new evidence from scans of her arm bones proves she spent time climbing and used her arms to pull herself up. The scans were compared with cross sections of humans and chimpanzees, which spend a mixture of time in trees and walking on all fours on the ground. They found that the arm bones were more heavily built, similar to those of chimps, while her lower limbs(下肢)would have meant she walked less efficiently than modern humans. Professor John Kappelman, atUniversityofTexas, believes the advantage of his study was that it focused on characteristics that reflect actual behavior during life, suggesting that evenwhen Lucy walked upright, she may have done so less efficiently than modern humans, limiting her ability to walk long distances on the ground.Previous studies suggested that Lucy was just 4 feet tall and weighed just 65 pounds. Combining the new data paints a picture of an ancestor who may have spent a great amount of her time in trees. It also expands on evidence from earlier this year which claimed that Lucy may have died from a fall, most likely from a tree. The evidence suggests Lucy may have spent time on the ground, returning to the safety of the trees for food and to sleep, to avoid her enemies.8. What did the researchers argue about after Lucy was discovered?A. Where she lived.B. How long she lived.C. What she ate.D. How she worked.9. How could people tell Lucy spent time climbing?A. By her walking style.B. By her heavily built arm bones.C. By her strong lower limbs.D. By her large cross sections.10. When Lucy walked, she may________.A. have walked with bigger stepsB. have walked at a faster speedC. have walked more efficiently than usD. have walked a shorter distance than us11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Guesses about Lucy’s characteristics.B. Some evidence of Lucy’s health.C. The safety of Lucy.D. The ancestor of Lucy.DAsk a classroom of children to draw a scientist, and you’ll see plenty of color1 ed lab coats and glasses. The image (画像) hasn't changed much since the 1960s, but the person wearing the lab coat is changing.A new analysis finds that more female scientists have appeared in kids? drawings in recent decades — going from nearly nonexistent in the 1960s to about a third in 2016.The first of many “ draw-a-scientist ’’ studies asked nearly 5,000 children to draw a scientist between 1966 and 1977. Of those 5,000 drawings, only 28 drew female scientists. That was just 0.56 percent. Today, female scientists are being presented more in the media. For example, in a content analysis, 13 percent of people pictured in science feature stories of the 1960s were women or girls, compared with 44 percent in the 2000s. “That might really affect children’s idea on what a scientist should be like, ” says Miller, a Ph. D. candidate in psychology.To look for changes in children'sperceptionover time, the researchers conducted a meta-analysis ,combining data from 78 studies that included a total of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten to the 12th grade.On average, 28 percent of children drew female scientists in studies conducted from 1965 to 2016.What hasn’t changed much: kids pick up stereotypes (模式化观念）by gender (性别）as they grow up. At age 6, about 70 percent of the girls in the more recent studiesdrew female scientists. By age 16, 75 percent drew male scientists. This is an important period in which kids are learning stereotypes. It’s important that teachers and parents present diverse examples of both male and female scientists.12. What’s the picture of scientists drawn by a 1960s, kid like?A. A man with long curly hair.B. A woman with lab glasses.C. A woman in a formal lab suit.D. A man in a color1 ed lab coat.13. What may contribute to the changes in kids’ drawings?A. The improvement of women^ social status.B. The kids are affected by teachers and parents.C. More female scientists appear in the media.D. The increasing number of female scientists.14. What does the underlined word “ perception” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Belief.B. Idea.C. Habit.D. Growth.15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. it's a stereotype that scientists are generally malesB. girls are more influenced by stereotypes than boysC. some children are born with certain stereotypesD. most children tend to prefer female scientists第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she'd done when she arrived at her doctor's San Francisco office. "It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy (化疗) rooms," the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one.She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint was chipping(剥落). It was a depressing room for a depressing routine - patients restricted to chemo drips for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at otherthan those sad walls. Ballard didn't have cancer herself, but she could sympathize with the patients. "I couldn't imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that," she says. As it happens, Ballard's physician, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her mission to brighten up the place.She started by e-mailing 20 local designers. "I wrote, 'You don't know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms," she remembers. She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr. Hufford's rooms each.As it happened, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork, and furniture. Dr. Hufford was delighted. "All the patients feel relieved of the pain because of it," he said. He even noted that his own tone of voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients.Ballard was so encouraged by the patients' reactions that she created a nonprofit, Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. "We were in Philadelphia for a ribbon cutting, and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer," says Ballard. "When she saw what we'd done, she said, 'I'm gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn't going to, but now I know I'm gonna beat it"28.

Which can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Design for HopeB. Battle against CancerC. Donation for PatientsD. Decoration in HospitalDPlants are boring. They just sit there photosynthesizing （光合作用）while animals have all the fun. Right? Not so much. A new study has found that there is a long history of interactions between ants and plants. The ant and plant co-evolution （协同进化）started with ants feeding on plants and plants evolving ant-friendly features.Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use. Some plants have evolved features that persuade ants into defending them from attack from other insects and even mаmmаlѕ. Тhеѕе іnсludе hollow thorns that аntѕ will live іnѕіdе, or ехtra nесtаr (琼浆) оn lеаvеѕ or stems for the ants to eat. Some ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run, but some will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant. Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around, by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds. The ant will pick up the seed and carry it away, eat the food packet, and leave the seed - often in a nutrient-rich area where it'll grow better, and since it's farther away from its parent, they won't have to compete for resources.But scientists weren't sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got started. If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to make use of their neighbors, then scientists wanted to know whether plants or ants fired the first shot. It was a chicken-and-egg question, whether things started with ants developing behaviors to take advantage of plants, or plants evolving structures to take advantage of ants.The history of ants and plants evolving together goes back to the time of the dinosaurs, and it's not easy to tell from fossils who fired the first shot. However, it is a question of little significance. Scientists say their study maters because it provides a look at how these widespread and complex interactions evolved.32. Some plants attach food packets to their seeds in order to .A. reward the antsB. make a fool of antsC. provide nutrition for the seedsD. get the seeds moved around33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. How plants and ants interact.B. What ants do to protect plants.C. How plants and ants survive attacks.D. Why plants and ants need co-evolution.34, Which is true about the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants?A. Ants depended more upon plants. B It caused a race for better evolution.C. How it got started was uncertain.D. It was of little value for future studies.35. What's the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A To introduce a science research method.B. To inform readers of a latest research findingC. To arouse readers' interest in science research.D. To criticize people's traditional views about plants.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。
