高考英语全真模拟卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe skin under the eyes is delicate，which is why it sometimes appears sunken and has darker coloring than elsewhere on the face．Aging and health problems play a role in sunken eyes but other factors can contribute，so it may affect younger people as well．DehydrationThe most common cause of sunken eyes is dehydration，or not having enough water in the body．Consuming too much coffee，soda，and prepackaged drinks may increase production of urine（尿液），which may lead to dehydration．Vitamin shortagesShortages of vitamin C，vitamin K，and iron can cause eyes to become sunken．Vitamin C helps with absorbing iron and decreasing bruising（瘀斑），while vitamin K is responsible for blood thickening，causing unhealthy skin．Easy bruising and unhealthy skin will result in sunken eyes．Weight lossMost people tend to lose weight in their face first．Sometimes，the weight loss is sudden enough to make blood vessels（血管）below the eyes easy to see，and the skin clear，producing the appearance of sunken eyes．Sudden weight loss may also cause nutritional shortages，which can lead to sunken eyes．Not enough sleep or por quality sleep can cause sunken eyes and a person's DNA or the habit of smoking can also contribute to sunken eyes．Most cases of sunken eyes relate to the quality of an individual's nutrition and healthy living．When these causes are corrected，sunken eyes can be resolved without further treatment．This means that causes can be avoided or treated in good time to prevent the recurrence of sunken eyes．1.What can we do to prevent dehydration according to the text？______A. Refuse coffee．B. Drink more water．C. Say no to soft drinks．D. Have certain drinks less．2.What will lead to bruising below the eyes？______A. Lack of vitamin K．B. Water shortages．C. Lack of vitamin C．D. Nutritional shortages．3.Which of the following should be avoided for people losing weight？______A. Pale faces．B. Sudden weight loss．C. Clean skin．D. Narrow blood vessels．BIn American countryside，the message we hear is this：Go and get an education．Leave your small town and make something of yourself．Success and opportunity are found elsewhere．Leave．Co．After graduating from a high school in Helena，Arkansas，I did go．I went to Colby College in Maine．I had visited the school ahead of time，so I knew what I was getting myself into．I knew about the difference in weather．I understood the differencein social atmosphere．But I wanted to stretch myself and get out of my comfort zone．And you know what？I absolutely loved my time there．But one thing took me by surprise - the lack of countryside representation．Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities：New York，Boston，Los Angeles，San Francisco…And when I had conversations with these students - in or outside of class - we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities．In my education classes，it was always "urban this" and "urban that"．It was like small town America didn't exist．And this urban interest doesn't just happen in college．I went to an education conference a couple of years ago，and a professor - someone who had been at the forefront of educational reform - was there to deliver a keynote．I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him．So there we were，five or six of us siting in a room，and I asked him，"What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside？" And this man was speechless．I'll never forget that moment．It speaks to a larger truth．Towns like mine are forgotten．This trend of exporting talent and resources to our big cities - this mindset of leaving small towns and never coming back - I don't want to add to that movement．I want to reverse that movement．Now it's my turn to help people younger than me．And you know what？I'm a sixth grade teacher in Helena now．4.What do people in American countryside think of the future of the youth at home？______A. Secure．B. Fragile．C. Promising．D. Bright．5.What did the author find in his college classroom？______A. Students chatted freely．B. Countryside was ignored．C. He was looked down upon．D. Students concentrated on education．6.How would the author feel about the professor's reaction？______A. It's emotional．B. It's natural．C. It's positive．D. It's disappointing．7.What is the author doing now？______A. Teaching in a college．B. Fighting for the movement．C. Working with the professor．D. Devoting himself to his hometown．CAnxiety is a natural response that changed gradually over millions of years to make us more careful and our bodies prepared to flee danger．But feeling anxious because you heard a noise on a dark street isn't the same thing as having an anxiety disorder．"The key thing we look for in the clinic is whether anxiety is interfering（妨碍）with a person's day-to-day life，or causing them a lot of unhappiness，" says Nick Grey of King's College London．To clinical psychologists like Grey，"maladaptive（不恰当的）beliefs" are typical in anxiety disorders and are often used to determine the type of anxiety someone has．In social anxiety disorder，the most common anxiety disorder，you might believe that your face turning red will result in people laughing at you．People with this type of disorder experience constant and great fear before，during and after social events．If you have panic disorder，you might assume that you are having a heart attack if your heart starts to race．The physical symptoms of anxiety - a pounding heart，difficulty breathing，feeling dizzy - will then come on in a rush．Everyone can experience such panic attacks from time to time，but in panic disorder the attacks are regular and become a source of anxiety themselves．Other maladaptive beliefs are less specific．Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by continuous worries about a range of different events or activities，for at least six months．If you have this condition，the belief driving your anxiety could，for example，be the feeling it's your job to take care of other people，or that you have responsibilities that you must meet at all cost．To decide who to refer for further treatment，doctors might use a tool called the GAD7test．8.Which of the following belongs to an anxiety disorder？______A. Quarreling with parents．B. Getting to school earlier．C. Missing a lunch．D. Knocking on the wall．9.What is social anxiety characterized by？______A. Continuous worries．B. Past experiences．C. Maladaptive beliefs．D. Frequent terrors．10.What will happen to you when you have panic disorder？______A. You can't stand steadily．B. Your face turns red．C. You can't touch anything．D. Your hands feel numb．11.What anxiety disorder occurs more often than others？______A. Generalized anxiety．B. Panic attacks．C. Social anxiety．D. Acute anxiety attacks．DIt’s at this time of the year that marathon recovery, not marathon training, starts to take center stage.Research indicates that the muscle damage from running a marathon can last up to two weeks. The research also indicates that muscle soreness(肌肉酸痛)is not a good indicator of muscular healing. In other words, just because you aren’t sore anymore doesn’t mean that you are fully healed. This is the danger for marathon runners: post-marathon muscular soreness fades after a few days but minor damage within the muscle cells remains. If you return to full training too soon — running more and faster than the tissues are ready for — you risk delaying full recovery and the chance to get ready for your next goal.The solution, it appears, is to recognize(and accept)that the muscles will take a while to heal and to be prepared to take it easy for the first couple of weeks (even longer if you’re particularly sore after your marathon). While the research isn’t very promising when it comes to things to do to reduce soreness and aid healing, a couple of concepts appear to help. First, providing gentle blood flow to the area helps bring healing nutrients into the muscles and also helps to remove waste products and damaged tissue. Walking and gentle massage(按摩)can help, particularly in the first few days after a marathon. Once muscle soreness has significantly reduced (usually two to four days after the race), light jogging can commence. Just be mindful to run very slowly.No runner wants to get super fit and then lose that during the recovery process. But since you must reduce your training load following your marathon, it can be difficult as to how much and how soon to insert running into your post-marathon training.12.When should marathon runners return to full training?A. About half a month after the competition.B. A few days after soreness disappears.C. Before the tissues recover completely.D. Before the next game draws closer.13.How can marathon runners reduce their muscle soreness?A. Through family care.B. By doing gentle exercise.C. Through medical treatment.D. By removing damaged tissue.14.Which of the following best explains “commence” underlined in paragraph 3?A. Fit.B. Heal.C. Start.D. Mend.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Recovery after MarathonB. Soreness with SportsC. Healing Muscle SorenessD. Reducing Training Load二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）When I first came to UK from China at 6，I entered the first grade．(1) ．I saw children throw their left over food into the large trash cans - from half-eaten pizzas to untouched burgers．I watched them pour their milk into a white bucket．In China，this was a huge no-no in school．We had to finish everything．One day，my first grade teacher announced that we would be having a party and everyone was told to bring something from their country．(2) ．My mom stayed up after her long day of work and made many dumplings．She put them in the fridge and woke up early in the morning to steam them and fry them so they would taste extra fresh when I brought them to school．They smelled great and looked golden brown after they were cooked．I was so excited to share these with my class and teachers．It was placed in the corner of the table next to all the other delicious food．(3) ．One or two kids bravely took a piece and knew what they were because they had it with their parents at a Chinese restaurant．At the end of the party，it was cleanup．My teacher walked up to me and asked，pointing to the dumplings，"Would you like to take these home？" I carefully replied，"No…" (4) ．I thought she was going to share it with other teachers，but immediately after I said that，she threw all the dumplings into the trash and continued cleaning．I was confused；what just happened？(5) ．And today I still witness this frequently in my English fiends．Please eat all your food or take it to go or share it or just get enough so you don't have to throw it away．Thank you．A．In China，"no" usually means "yes"B．I got super excited and told my parentsC．It was very impolite to take your gift homeD．This was the biggest culture shock I have experiencedE．When I got home，I shared the experience with my parentsF．Many kids had the cookies and juices and were hesitant to try the dumplingsG．I didn't understand why kids were getting their lunch food and not finishing it16.

You can only choose five of them．B. They provide credits for students．C. You should set aside other subjects．D. They assist your full development．2.Where can you enjoy meals during the program？______A. Near Harvard Square．B. Close to Harvard Yard．C. In one of the workshops．D. In an undergraduate house．3.What is the purpose of the passage？______A. To advertise meals．B. To comment on an activity．C. To introduce a program．D. To recommend courses．BIn 2011，the old style Malta buses were taken off the road and replaced by modern vehicles．Most of the old buses were deserted，a few were sold，and about 100 of them were put into storage in the hope of showing them in a museum at some stage．A pre-2011 visit to Malta wouldn't have been complete without a ride on one of the colorful buses．Until 1973 you could tell the destination of the bus just by looking at its color - Sliemawas green and white，Zabbar was red and white with a blue stripe（条纹）etc．．Later，the buses all had numbers．For a while，they were all painted green and white before the ‘final' orange，yellow and white．In their prime，walking around the Triton fountain at the Valletta bus station，you would have found it very difficult to see two buses of exactly the same design．Most of them had locally built bodies．On the front of the buses carried names like Dodge，Leyland，Bedford etc．．You were equally likely to find football pennants（锦旗）and the like decorating the cabs．Real bus experts would have recognized that these were there mainly for decorative reasons，and were seldom an accurate reflection of the vehicle's origins．Nowadays much more modern buses are to be found at the Floriana bus station．They are more environmentally friendly and possibly even more comfortable than the older types．However，I miss the old buses．I remember，when you boarded your bus，you had to prepare the correct change to pay the usually bad-tempered driver as you got on．If you were seated anywhere near the front，you would have noticed that most drivers sat well to the right of their steering wheel．The reason for this，as any Maltese would tell you，was to leave space for their pet to sit alongside them．I wonder where the pet sits these days．4.What makes a pre-2011 visit to Malta special according to Paragraph 2？______A.

A new study used colored backpack sales data to show that parental wealth may influence spending on sons different from daughters.In 1973 biologist Robert Trivers and computer scientist Dan Willard published a paper suggesting that parents invest(投入)more resources, such as food and effort, in male children when times are good, and in female children when times are bad. According to theTrivers-Willard hypothesis(假说), a son given lots of resources can become a gentleman — but parents with few resources tend to invest them in daughters, who generally find it easier to be a fair maiden.Studying parental investment after birth is difficult, however. The new study looked for a standard of measurement of such investment that met several criteria: it shouldn't be affectedby sex differences in the need for resources; it should measure investment rather than outcomes; and it should be objective.Study author Shige Song, a sociologist at Queens College, City University of New York, examined spending on pink and blue backpacks purchased in China in 2015 from a large retailer, JD．com. He narrowed the data to about 5,000 bags: blue backpacks bought by families known to have at least one boy and pink ones bought by families known to have at least one girl. The results showed that wealthier families spent more on blue than pink backpacks — suggesting greater investment in sons. Poorer families spent more on pink packs than blue ones. The findings were published in Evolution and Human Behavior.Song's evidence for the Trivers-Willard hypothesis is “indirect” but “pretty convincing,”says Rosemary Hopcroft, a sociologist at the. University of North Carolina at Charlotte, who was not connected with the new study. Hopcroft reported in 2016 that U. S. fathers withhigh-status occupations were more likely to send their sons to private school than their daughters, while fathers with lower-status jobs more often enrolled their female children. Although the new study does not prove the families were buying the blue backpacks for boys and pink ones for girls, Hopcroft notes that“it's a clever and interesting paper, and it's a rather unusual use of big data.”8.What does the writer intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Introduce an earlier study.B. Identify children’s needs.C. Assess the influence of a study.D. Explore into parental investment.9.What offers a challenge for the new study?A. The investment meeting several criteria.B. The measurement of eventual outcomes.C. Different demands for resources between sexes.D. Consistent standards in measuring parental investment.10.What can be learned from Song's research?A. The new study was done in 2015.B. Big data was sampled for research.C. Preference was offered to consumers.D. Blue packs were favored over pink ones.11.Which of the following is likely to match Hopcroft's remark on Song's research?A. It's entertaining.B. It's well-designed.C. It's unbelievable.D. It's unusual.DOn September 10，2018，Jack Ma，founder and chairman of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba，announced his successor（继任者）at the company he founded 19 years ago．Surprisingly，in a country where 70 to 80 percent of private companies are still family run，Mr．Ma did not name a family member．Rather，one of the world's largest e-commerce companies will be led by Daniel Zhang，an 11-year Alibaba old hand chosen only for his "professional talent．"The history of many countries can be marked by a trend away from dependence on family succession in business，or the belief that qualities of leadership flow through bloodlines．Ma is a true innovator（创新者）in many ways，most famously for building an innovativeonline shopping market worth more than the economies of most countries．But his legacy（遗产）may lie in showing how China as well as much of Asia can produce founders of successful organizations unwilling to pass the torch to relatives．"Alibaba was never about Jack Ma，" he stated in announcing his succession plan．Instead，the former schoolteacher who came from lowly origins is stepping back from day-to-day operations because he has built a system that takes root in a company culture based on innovation，transparency，and responsibility．"For the last 10 years，we kept working on these ingredients，" he stated．The company's future will depend on developing a wealth of talent that drives innovation，he said．And in a society with a long tradition of cautious distrust toward those outside the family circle，Ma has built an "architecture of trust" with customers，who number over half a billion．Chinese now readily rely on Alibaba's online payment system，its ratings of products and services，and other trust-building systems or methods pioneered by the company．China's rapid growth now produces a new billionaire almost every day．Many of them，like Ma，have favored systems of management based on talent and honesty．As many countries have discovered as they progress，it is better to swim in a talent pool，not a gene（基因）pool．12.What do we know about Daniel Zhang from the passage？______A. He's a talented professor．B. He's an experienced manager．C. He's a successful founder．D. He's Chairman of Alibaba．13.Where does Ma's legacy lie in？______A. Becoming a successful innovative founder．B.

VietnamBMy violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me．Together，we've gone through both tears and happiness．About 12 years ago，I made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom．Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it．And to make things worse，the disappointment inmy teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer，striking on my heart．One day，I finally decided：I hate it!By chance，things changed when I was seven．I was at home lying on the sofa，wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma．I searched online for the E-minor Concerto，a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn，and listened to it．A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across it．It was like the music slid over the flowers，rose up，and started to fill the air．The violin's voice woke up the sun，made the trees green，and freshened the air．As the music changed，the sky turned back to gray．A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared．I could hear children crying and men shouting．It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly，making it unable to beat．That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin - I grabbed mine and never let it go．Before the memories faded，I stared at my instrument．Without hesitating，I picked it up，rosined（用松香擦）the bow，and began to play．Peace filled my heart．My violin has been by my side for 12 years．When I feel happy，an energetic tune makes it even better；when I'm deep in sorrow，a peaceful tune washes it away，when I'm walking on air，feeling especially pleased with my achievements，solemn（庄严的）tunes calm me down．Gradually，it has become a part of my life．My violin，shall I compare you to a summer's day？4.What further contributed to the author's dislike of violin-playing？______A.

A science newspaper．DA new study shows that rising levels of planet-warming gases may reduce important nutrients in food crops．Researchers studied the effects of one such gas-carbon dioxide-on rice．The researchers grew rice plants in a controlled environment．They set carbon dioxide levels to what scientists are predicting for our planet by the end of the century．They found that the resulting rice crops had lower than normal levels of vitamins，minerals and protein．The researchers said the effects of planet-warming gases would be most severe for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries．These people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets，they noted．In the experiment，scientists grew 18 kinds of rice in fields in China and Japan．They pumpedcarbon dioxide gas over the plants in an effort to create the atmosphere of the future．Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had，on average，13 to 30 percent lower levels of four B vitamins and 10 percent less protein．The crops also had 8 percent less iron and 5 percent less zinc（锌）an rice grown under normal conditions．However，vitamin E levels increased by about 13 percent on average．The results are bad news，"especially for the nutrition of the poorer population inless-developed countries，" said the University of Tokyo's Kazuhiko Kobayashi，who helped to write the report．That includes about 600 million people in Indonesia，Cambodia，Myanmar，Bangladesh，Laos and other nations，mainly in Southeast Asia，the report said．One of the scientists is Sam Myers of Harvard University in the American state of Massachusetts．He said that findings like this are an example of the surprises climate change create．" My concern is there are many more surprises to come，" he said．Myers noted that pollution，loss of some species，destruction of forests，and other human activities are likely to produce unexpected problems．He said that you cannot completely change all the natural systems that living organisms have grown to depend on over millions of years without having effects come back to affect our own health．The new study suggests a way to lower the nutritional harm of climate change．One way，Kobayashi said，is grow different forms of rice that have shown to be more resistant to higher carbon dioxide levels．12.Which county would be influenced most by planet-warming gases according to the text？______A.

2020届湖北省荆门市高考英语模拟试卷含答案
高考英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AWhat's best to read this year？Secrets I Know （Random House Children's Books，ages 3-7）This tale written by Kallie George and pictured by Paola Zakimi follows a young girl and her little friend as they move from rain to sunshine，from pleasant loneliness to sweet friendship，and finally from adventures on earth to an exploration of the sky above．The colors of Zakimi's pencil drawings are calming and George's poetic text tells her story with simple language．Pandora （Clarion Books，ages 3-7）The award-winning author Victoria Turnbull tells the story of a little fox Pandora．Pandora lives alone．She makes herself a handsome home，but no one ever comes to visit．Then one day something falls from the sky -- a bird with a broken wing．Little by little，the bird helps Pandora feel less lonely．Turnbull's watercolor and colored pencil drawings make this story of friendship and growth an atmospheric delight．Prince and Pirate （G．P．Putnam's Sons Books for Younger Readers，ages 5-8）A different kind of friendship is described in this book，by Charlotte Gunnufson with pictures by Mike Lowery．Prince and Pirate are a pair of mismatched fish put into the same aquarium （水族馆）．At first it seems that they'll never learn to be friends．It's only when both take pity on a frightened dogfish that they learn the benefits of cooperation，and soon all three fish become good friends．The Giant Jumperee （Dinal Books，ages 3-5）The story was written by the award-winning British author Julia Donaldson．When Rabbit hears a loud voice bellowing（吼叫）threateningly from inside a cave，he gathers Cat，Bear and Elephant to help him decide what to do．But it's Mama Frog who fearlessly confronts（面对）the unknown creature．Helen Oxenbury's soft watercolors create a beautiful countryside and her characterizations of the animals are impressive．1.Who pictured the book Pandora？______A. Kallie GeorgeB. Victoria TurnbullC. Paola ZakimiD. Charlotte Gunnufson2.Which book tells a story about courage？______A. PandoraB. Secrets I KnowC. Prince and PirateD. The Giant Jumperee3.What do the four books have in common？______A. Their publishers are the same one．B. Their characters are all animals．C. They all have pencil drawings．D. They are all for younger readers．BOne evening last summer，when I asked my 17-year-old son，Ray，for help with dinner，his response surprised me，"What's a colander（漏勺）？" he asked．I could only blame myself．Nobody's hands went in the sauce except my own．But that night，as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it，I wondered what else I hadn't prepared Ray for．I felt confident that I'd raised a self-reliant boy，as we all try to do．But could he boil water？Sew on a button？Wash his clothes without turning them pink？No，no and no．Suddenly it hit me：He'd be leaving the house in a year to attend college．No way was I going to set a spoiled prince into the world．As parents，while we focus on our child's confidence and character，we perhaps don't always consider that we are also raising someone's future roommate，boyfriend，husband，or father．I wanted to know that I'd raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life，"What's for dinner？" So I came up with a plan：I would offer Ray a private home economics course．I was delighted to find that he didn't say no．For two hours，three days a week，Ray was all mine．One day，as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove，he washed and seasoned a chicken for toasting．Then he rolled out the piecrust （馅饼皮）and filled it with apples，all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven．Three of my four grandparents were tailors，so Ray was genetically programmed to quickly master the basics，like mending a split seam or refastening a button．One day we covered Advanced Laundry，in which I taught him never to mix a red sweatshirt with white shirts or put sweaters in the dryer．I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother -- he tried to beg off sewing lessons，even though I insisted that one day，someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive -- but it couldn't be denied that he was learning，and more than just housekeeping．"I appreciate more what you do as a mom，" he told me one day．Ray now understands the finer points of cooking，and more important，he realizes there's nothing masculine（男子气的）about being helpless．Not only can he make his own dinner，he can make it for his family，too．That's what I call a man．4.Hearing her son's question，the author felt ______ ．A. shockedB. angryC. disappointedD. calm5.We can learn from the text that Ray ______ ．A. made great progress in cookingB. preferred sewing to cookingC. was unwilling to take the course at firstD. always thought it attractive to do housework6.The underlined part "more than just housekeeping" shows that Ray ______ ．A. fell in love with houseworkB. did other work in the houseC. acknowledges the author's effortsD. began to be more independent7.What would be the best title for the text？______A. Are Women Programmed for Housework？B. Should Boys Be Involved in Housework？C. I'm Proud I've Raised a Curious SonD. A Present for My Future Daughter-in-lawCMany people may have watched the film "March of the Penguins"，which shows a real group of birds in Antarctica．Imagine a group of fat black and white birds walking in a line．Suddenly，one penguin loses his balance and falls on the ice．Every time penguins fall down，people laugh．The animals are cute!People like the film very much．So much，in fact，that police in England think that it may be the reason behind a crime．A man went to a zoo in London and stole a baby penguin．Authorities think that the man stole the penguin after seeing the film and believe he wanted to give it away as a Christmas gift．Michael Gauthier-Clerc，an expert studying penguins，thinks that many people like penguins but some people do not understand them．He told The New York Times newspaper，"People love the penguin's colors，its way of standing straight upright and the way it walks．" These things make penguins seem cute to people，but there are good reasons for all of these things．For example，penguins move from side to side when they walk and may seem to be out of balance．But Doctor Gauthier-Clerc says that the penguins waddle to save energy．The penguin's colour also has a special purpose．It protects the penguins when they are swimming．From below，larger animals cannot see the penguin's white underside because it looks the same as the bright sky or ice．And from above，other animals cannot see the penguin's black back against the dark ocean floor．The penguins' colors protect them in nature．But scientists have found that some of these physical details also have an effect on humans．They make animals seem cute to people．Scientists believe that humans are very sensitive to things that are cute，such as human baby and even objects that may look like parts of a baby．Recent studies show that cute images affect the brain in a special way．A study done at the University of Michigan tested young people's reactions to images．It found that young people believed a message more if the message was joined by a cute picture．The researchers showed the young people two messages．One was a simple anti-smoking message．The other showed a cute animal telling them that smoking was bad．The conclusion turned out that the young people trusted the cute message more than the simple message．8.In the film "March of the Penguins"，______ ．A. a baby penguin is stolenB. a penguin is sent out as a giftC. penguins are cute and attractiveD. penguins have a bad sense of balance9.It can be inferred from the passage that ______ ．A. a walking penguin has more energy than a swimming oneB. a penguin walks in a funny way to prevent itself from fallingC. a shop selling baby products are likely to make more moneyD. a website with cute pictures may attract more young visitors10.Scientists have found that the penguins' color can ______ ．A. change at different placesB. help them keep warmC. make people have pity on themD. protect them from being hunted11.The study carried out by the University of Michigan shows that ______ ．A. cute messages mislead peopleB. cuteness influences people's judgmentC. humans react to anything that is cuteD. a simple message is more convincing than a cute messageDWhen you search Google or use Amazon，you might assume the results you see are the same as those viewed by your friends，family and other Internet users．But you'd bewrong．Websites and social networks track your location and search history and make assumptions about your age，race，sex and political views．They then show ads they believe to be the most relevant，in order to maximize clicks，but personalize which results you see by eliminating what they think is irrelevant．This is sold to the public as positive，making each web session relevant and interesting，yet it is leading researchers to fear this could widen divides between the North and South，rich and poor，and young and old．For example，in terms of wealth，if users are only ever shown particular products and job advertisements based on how much they earn or where they live，these users will never be given the opportunities to increase their wealth，or how much they spend on items．Princeton University has created bots（自动程序），each with their own fake profiles．These bots have different fake ages and sexes，earn different levels of money，are virtually（虚拟地）based in various locations around the world and have different interests．By using these bots to scan and research the web，the researchers hope to create a picture of not only what each of them sees，but also what sites they are missing out on．According to lead researcher，Arvind Narayanan，"Our goal is a web privacy census（普查）which will be a comprehensive map of who are collecting what information，what they are inferring from it，and who they are sharing it with．It is an important step in our final goal of figuring out how users are treated based on that information．"Personalization also has its benefits．Shopping sites such as Amazon and eBay can scan a user's search and purchase history to offer suggestions．This can help find similar，cheaper items or items that are more suited to their needs at a glance．It's also possible to disable personalized ads and results．Google's search engine lets you switch off personalization，for example．Researchers from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and Yahoo felt the issue was so potentially damaging，and they have also created a way to "burst the filter（过滤）bubble"．They believe that just because people have opposing views on certain topics it doesn't mean they won't share interests with others．12.The underlined word "eliminating" in Paragraph 1 probably means " ______ "．A. decoratingB. removingC. personalizingD. protecting13.Princeton University created bots to ______ ．A. explain why different websites are personalizedB. offer users some advice on how to protect privacyC. assess how personalization is affecting Internet usersD. stress the advantages and disadvantages of personalization of websites14.Which of the following websites have done something to cut off personalization？______A. Google and YahooB. eBay and GoogleC. Amazon and eBayD. Amazon and Yahoo15.What is this passage mainly about？______A. Different websites are doing something to offer quality service．B.

Hammacher Schlemmer．BWhen was the last time you told someone they inspire you to go to work each morning？Teachers at Oak Park High School in Kansas City，Missouri，did just that this September，when they pulled individual students out of class to tell them just how much they appreciated them．The students' reactions，which were captured （捕捉）on video and shared on YouTube in a now-viral video，ranged from shy thanks to hugs and tears．"I have been challenged to find a student who makes me want to come to school every day，" says one teacher in the video，"and that's you．"Jamie McSparin，a teacher in charge of the school's academy program for at-risk sophomores （二年级学生）and juniors，posed the challenge，writes ABC News．"Initially when we pulled the kids out，they all thought they were in trouble，" McSparin told ABC News．"Any teacher-student interaction always seems to be negative （消极的），and that was something that bothered me，too．No matter if they're a good kid or a trouble maker or anything，they always thought they were in trouble，" she says．McSparin says she got the idea for the project after attending a professional development workshop this summer called the power of positivity．"I like the idea of letting students know they are appreciated，because we do appreciate them，I just don't think we say it enough，" she told local news outlet WDAF-TV．It's safe to say the challenge was effective．"I feel special，" said one of the boys in the video．"You should，" said his teacher．"You are special．"5.What does the underlined word "posed" in Paragraph 5 mean？______A.

A program related to students' interactions．8.What message does this text mainly convey？______A. Challenge is unavoidable in life．B. Everyone needs to be appreciated．C. Positivity outweighs negativity．D. News media contribute to students' progress．CYou know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious，as if you have lost your connection to the world．"Nomophobia" （无手机恐惧症）affects teenagers and adults alike．You can even do an online test to see if you have it．Last week，researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone．Their study found that people who use their phones to store，share and access personal memories suffer most．When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones，words such as "hurt" （neck pain was often reported）and "alone" predicted higher levels of nomophobia．"The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices，" said Dr．Kim Ki Joon．"People experience feelings of anxietyand unpleasantness when separated from their phones．" Meanwhile，an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure．So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety？Professor Mark Griffiths，psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University，says it is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo （fear of missing out）．"We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives，" says Griffiths．"You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is rooted in this device．"Griffiths thinks attachment theory，where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives，is a small part of nomophobia．For "screenagers"，it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety．If they can't see what's happening on Snapchat or Instagram，they become panic-stricken about not knowing what's going on socially．"But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there's no internet，" says Griffiths．9.Which of the following may Dr．Kim Ki Joon agree with？______A. We waste too much time on phones．B. Phones have become part of some users．C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer．D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked．10.According to Giffiths，we get nomophobia because ______ ．A. we are accustomed to having a phone on usB. we need our phones to help us store informationC. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doingD. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble11.Where can you probably find the above passage？______A. In a research report．B. In a fashion brochure．C. In a science textbook．D. In a popular science magazine．DHumans make mistakes．Even surgeons with years of experience are not infallible．But what if these doctors could pool their knowledge and experience together and create a surgical standard of care，to be carried out by machines？That's the idea behind surgical robots，which may soon perform most surgeries，from sewing up tiny wounds to performing heart procedures．Many of these operations are，in fact，already completed with the assistance of robots．But a recent test suggests that robots in the operating room may soon go a step further，performing on soft tissue completely on their own，from start to finish．The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot（STAR），successfully completed surgeries on pigs．"We're the first group to develop autonomous robotic surgery with soft-tissue surgery，and when compared to standard operation，it's better，"says Peter Kim，professor of surgery．"The idea is not to replace surgeons；it will make the surgeons better and make the procedures safer．"A recent Mayo Clinic study found that major surgical errors-including operating on the wrong site or side of the body，or even leaving tools or objects inside the patient-occur every one out of 22，000procedures．That's rare，but robots like STAR would aim to lower the numbereven further．In the da Vinci surgical system，surgeons place their arms inside instruments and use their hands to control the movement of robotic tools on the operating table from afar．The robot's every major move is controlled by surgeons，and thus its results may vary based on the surgeon's training or experience．STAR，on the other hand，is entirely autonomous．It's not only able to work on its own and perform surgeries with a more flexible "hand"，but it's able to react to the unexpected incidents．Cutting into hard tissue like bones is one thing，but operating on moving soft tissue is far more complex．STAR reacts to a changing environment，similar to how self-driving cars are programmed to not only drive on the highway，but also react to another driver makinga mistake and getting in your way．12.The underlined word "infallible" in Paragraph 1 probably means ______ ．A. quite smartB. really creativeC. rather responsibleD. always right13.We can learn from the passage that STAR ______ ．A. can perform the operation on its ownB. has been widely used in the operating roomC. can make surgeries much fasterD. will take the place of surgeons14.In the da Vinci surgical system，______ ．A. robots are trained from afarB. robots always make mistakesC. surgery results depend on surgeonsD. surgeons have trouble controlling robots15.In the last paragraph，the author mentions self-driving cars in order to show ______ ．A. how smart an autonomous robot can beB. how difficult self-driving on the highway isC. how bad getting in another driver's way might beD. how dangerous operating on people is．二、阅读七选五（本大题共3小题，共10.0分）Steps for a Successful College Application When it comes to getting into the college of your choice，your college application is the most important tool you have in your hands．(1) ，while a bad one can land you at the bottom．Keep the following tips in mind when you are going through the college application process and you'll be on the road to admission．Be Prepared(2) ，carefully look over all the questions and requirements．Dedicate a page to each college with a checklist of everything you'll need to submit，such as transcripts，recommendations，the essay，copies of awards/certificates，etc．(3)Former Records Technician，Carmen Huff，says the best thing students do is to get their applications early-or at least by the deadline．Colleges and universities receive so many applications that they don't have the time to accept late ones．The more time you give the college or university to process your application，the more time you'll have to deal with any problems that might arise，Huff says．Watch Your GPA and Test ScoresThis is the first thing that most universities look at．For example，most four- year colleges don't have a GPA requirement，but top Ivy Leagues（常春藤联盟）usually only accept students with a 3.5 or higher GPA．However，if your GPA is weak，don't give upapplying．(4)Write an Amazing EssayA great essay can help tip the balance in your favor．(5) ．Many colleges require two essays，one short and one long．What you write not only shows how literate you are，but also provides the reader with an impression of your values and beliefs．A．Be On TimeB．Be Patient and DeterminedC．When you have a test or an examD．When you first receive the applicationE．A great application can zip you to the front of the lineF．So，take the time to think your essay through carefullyG．Instead，be sure to emphasize your other good qualities such as any awards or community involvement16.

Discussing．B. Wondering．C. Imagining．D. Presenting．5.What did the auction company stress when selling the 1935letter？______A. The style of the writer．B. The history of the letter．C. The contents of the letter．D. The popularity of the writer．6.What inspired Hemingway to write The Old Man and The Sea besides his ownadventure？______A. Henry Strater's account．B. Carlos Gutierrez's story．C. Max Perkins' life experience．D. Nate D Sanders' description．7.Which is the correct order of time for the following facts in the passage？______①Hemingway wrote a letter to describe his adventure．②Hemingway caught a big blue marlin．③The letter was sold at auction．④The Old Man and The Sea won the Nobel Prize．A. ①③②④B. ②①④③C. ②④①③D. ②③①④CUniversity of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness. The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years, but not many studies have managed to actually link the two. To do that, Penn researchers, led by psychologist Melissa Hunt, designed a study that focused on WeChat, Snapchat and Instagram.The study was conducted with 143 participants, who before they began, completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens, showing how often they were using their phones to access social media. "We set out to do a much more complete study which attempts to imitate real life." Hunt said.The study divided the participants into two groups: The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits. The other, the control group, was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media. The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out, anxiety, depression and loneliness.The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness. "Using less social media than you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness," Hunt said.Social media invites what Hunt calls "downward social comparison." "When you're online, it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you're left out," Hunt said. And that's just generally discouraging. "Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate." And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage self-esteem and self-worth, Hunt added."People are on their devices, and that's not going to change," she said. But as in life, a bit of control goes a long way.8.Before the study was conducted, the participants completed a survey to ________.A. imitate people's real lifeB. link loneliness to depressionC. show their use of social mediaD. prove social media is important9.The results of the study showed using less social media would result ________.A. people's fear of missing outB. higher levels of depressionC. obvious relief in lonelinessD. lower levels of happiness10.In Hunt's opinion, which activity benefits more to mental health?A. Hiking out with friends.B. Making comparison with others.C. Playing computer games in spare time.D. Logging onto social media and having fun.11.Which can be the best title of the passage?A. A Study on Social MediaB. How to Improve Mental HealthC. People Addicted to Social MediaD. Social Media Influences Mental HealthD"Big tobacco" is what the bosses of several large technology firms have started calling Facebook．Being compared to the tobacco giants is far from praise，but it is not the only wide-spread analogy（比拟）．A lower blow is the suggestion that Facebook may become like Yahoo，the once high-flying internet firm tha t fell．Even a year ago the idea would have been unthinkable．But since January Facebook has become trapped in a series of misjudgments and missteps．It became clear that it had done too little to stop Russian interference（干涉）in America's election in 2016．It had to admit that it had shared the personal data of 90m users with outside firms without permission．The comparison to Yahoo is imperfect．Even at its peak Yahoo's business was never as large and profitable as Facebook's．One of the main reasons Yahoo declined is because it lost out to a powerful competitor，Google，in online search；Marissa Mayer，its boss from 2012 until its sale to Verizon last year，was unable to restore advertisers' or employees' confidence as users left．But people who watched Yahoo's falling see similarities．Executive（主管）turnover was a leading indicator of its decline；before Ms．Mayer was hired Yahoo went through four chief executives in three years．Mr．Zuckerberg，who controls the majority of Facebook's voting shares，is not leaving，but many top executives are．This year several have announced their departures，including Facebook's chief security officer．When advertisers' faith in Facebook has been shaken，politicians in Washington are running out of patience with the company．Lawmakers' inspection of the firm is causing it to be more cautious about how it uses data for targeting advertisements and about what information it makes available to outsiders．Mr．Zuckerberg and Ms．Sandberg are under pressure to prove to employees and advertisers that Facebook is not only trustworthy but worthy of their time and money．If they cannot do so，and the company's share price continues its slide，it is possible that Ms．Sandberg will be replaced in the next year．Mr．Zuckerberg will doubtless have thoughts about Yahoo's sorry tale．12.For Facebook，being compared to "big tobacco" is ______ ．A. positiveB. ambitiousC. creativeD. negative13.According to the author，what does Facebook currently have in common with the failedYahoo？______A. Letting out users' data．B. Being deep in financial crisis．C. Leaders are leaving the company．D. Laying off a large number of employees．14.The author tries to support his judgment about Facebook by ______ ．A. questioning its managementB. using evidence related to itC. analyzing its financial dataD. listing its advantages and disadvantages15.What is the main idea of the passage？______A. Facebook gets trapped in trouble．B. Two companies are deep in crisis．C. How to save Facebook．D. Faith is more valuable than gold．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）There was a survey of the people who were born from 1980 to 2000，asking them what their most important life goals were．Over 80 percent said it was to get rich．(1) We're constantly told to devote more to our work，to push harder and to achieve more．We're given the impression that these are the things that we need to go after to have a good life．But is that the truth？(2)But what if we could study people from the time when they were teenagers all the way into old age to see what really keeps people happy and healthy？The Harvard Study of Adult Development did it．For 75 years，they've tracked the lives of 724 men．Studies like this are extremely rare．Almost all projects of this kind fall apart within a decade because too many people drop out of the study．(3) Or the researchers can't get together．But through a combination of luck and the persistence of several generations of researchers，this study has survived．So what have they learned？The conclusion is that it's not wealth or fame that counts．(4) They've learned three big lessons about relationships．Firstly，people who are more socially connected to family，to friends and to community are happier and physically healthier．The second is that it's not just the number of friends you have but the quality of your close relationships that matters．And the third is that good relationships don't just protect our bodies．(5)A．They can even protect our brains．B．To become famous came second．C．Or funding for the research dries up．D．The good life is built with relationships．E．It turns out that being in conflict is bad for our health．F．It is good relationships that keep us happier and healthier．G．To be frank，sometimes wealth and fame can make people happy．16.

One of them is the Amazon rainforest, the world’s largest and home to millions of plants and animals. Nicknamed “the lungs of our planet”, it generates about one-fifth of Earth’s oxygen. However, this wonderful natural wonder is currently in danger.Thousands of fires have broken out in Brazil, endangering much of the rainforest. These blazes have lasted several weeks and are believed to be the “most intense” in almost a decade, according to BBC News.The Amazon has seen a large number of fires in 2019. Between January and August, there were over 74,000 fires the highest number since 2013, the BBC reported.Forest fires are common during the dry season, which runs from July to October. They are usually caused by natural events, such as lightning strikes. However, most of the fires this year are believed to be caused by farmers, who use fire as a traditional part of tropical agriculture to clean land, reported CNN.The disaster has raised concern around the world. The Amazon rainforest is important for preventing climate change, said the BBC, absorbing millions of tons of carbon annually. When trees are cut down or burned, the rainforest’s capacity(能力)to absorb carbon is reduced.Brazilian climate expert Carlos Nobre told Reuters he’s worried. If more than 20 percent of the ecosystem is destroyed, the Amazon rainforest could reach a "tipping point(临界点)where the thick jungle will turn into a tropical savannah(大草原).Nobre warned that it is not far off, with between 15 and 17 percent of the rainforest having already been destroyed.The Brazilian government has sent soldiers to fight the fires. Many people have offered their support and called for recovery efforts. For example, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, said he wanted to donate money and US Actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s environmentalcharity, Earth Alliance, created a donation fund to help deal with the crisis.The public are also encouraged to donate to charities concerned with rainforest preservation(保护). “Every little bit helps in a tragic situation like this,” commented Gizmodo.28. The underlined word “intense” in Para.2 probably means _______.A. naturalB. fierceC. commonD. unexpected29. What is the main cause of forest fires in the Amazon rainforest this year?A. Lightning strikes.B. Hot weather.C. Agricultural activities.D. Garbage left by tourists.30. What was Nobre worried about in the article?A. Global temperatures will rise.B. The Amazon rainforest is close to disappearing.C. Animals in the Amazon rainforest are under threat.D. It will take decades for the Amazon rainforest to recover.31. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?A. What the Brazilian government has done to fight fires.B. Celebrities who care about rainforest preservation.C. The possible future of the Amazon rainforest.D. Efforts made to save the Amazon rainforest.D【2019年安徽省合肥市巢湖市高考英语（3月）模拟试题】Angel Garcia Crespo is a computer engineer at Carlos III University of Madrid in Spain. His group has invented a new way for deaf-blind people to “watch” TV. The idea for the technology grew out of previous work by his group. The team had already worked on making audiovisual(视听的) materials accessible to people with either vision or hearing disabilities. But the group wanted to help people with both challenges. So they asked some deaf-blind people what would help.In addition to relying on their sense of touch to communicate, deaf-blind people can also get and send information with a Braille line. The Braille system uses patterns of raised dots to stand for letters and numbers. A Braille line is an electronic machine with a changeable Braille display. Dots rise up or drop down based on the information sent to the machine.Now the new system changes TV signals to data a Braille line can use. “The key to the system is the possibility of using subtitles(字幕) to collect TV information, ” Garcia Crespo explains. “Subtitles travel with the image(影像) and the audio in electromagnetic waves we don’t see. But an electronic system can keep those waves. ”First, a computer program, or app, pulls out the subtitles and visual descriptions from the broadcast signal. The system then combines the information and changes both into data for Braille.Now another app gets to work, which sends the data out to people’s Braille lines on demand. “This is done in real time, in less than a second,” Garcia Crespo says. This lets a deaf-blind person “watch” TV as it’s broadcast. The system will work with various Braille lines, as long as there’s a bluetooth connection available. Now, the system is only used in Europe, and it should soon be available in the US.32. What inspired Garcia Crespo’s group to work on the new technology?A. Deaf-blind people’s poor life.B. Their pity on the disabled people.C. The challenges they face in work.D. Their group’s previous research.33. Why can the electronic system collect TV information?A. It can combine all kinds of broadcast signals.B. It can keep the waves with subtitles traveling.C. It can work together with a variety of Braille lines.D. It can pull out the subtitles and visual descriptions.34. What does the author think of the future of the new technology?A. Challenging.B. Bright.C. Rewarding.D. Hopeless.35. What should be a suitable title for the text?A. New Technology Is Improving Deaf-blind People’s LifeB. A New Braille Line Is Applied to Disabled People’s LifeC. A Spanish Group Makes TV Accessible to Blind PeopleD. New Technology Helps Deaf-blind People “Watch” TV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。

We had just finished playing stickball, and I was about to go home.“Wait a minute,” Carl yelled. He ran into his house and cameback with a book for me to take home and read. All he said was, “See if you like it.”I said ly nothing. I kept the book for a couple of weeks and then returned it unread. Carl never asked me if I liked it or not. During the following two years Carl lent me three more books. Each time I returned them unread.A few days after graduating from high school, Carl asked, “Benny, which college are you going to?”“I'm not going to college.” I said.“Why not?” he asked.“Because my father can't afford the tuition (学费).” I answered.“Is that it?” Carl asked. “Yes,” I said.I lied. I had no intention of going back to school now that I was out. The following day, Carl knocked on my door and handed me a check for seventy-five dollars from his father along with the bookMartin Eden.“I think that should do it.” he said.Once again I was in shock. I was working full-time in my brother's bakery. I attended two classes atWayneUniversitypart-time at night. Halfway through the semester, after receiving failing grades on exams and essays, I decided there was no way I would ever become a good student and get satisfactory grades. I dropped out of college.One day, curious, I picked up the book, thinking Carl was trying to tell me something. Despite difficulty, Ipressed on. By the time I finished the book, I understood why: the main character, Martin Eden, had my own poor educational background, but managed to educate himself and become a published author.4. What do we know about the author?A. He often told lies.B. He quit school unwillingly.C. He had thought little of education before.D. He became a published author.5. What kind of person is Carl?A. Caring.B. Emotional.C. Stubborn.D. Cautious.6. What message does Carl want to convey?A. Reading makes a rich man.B. Reading is the journey of the soul.C. Reading makes a person better known.D.Readingopens up new opportunities.7. What is the best title for the text?A. A strong desire for collegeB. A wish for better educationC. A wise friendD. A wise bookCAs an eco-minimalist, Su Yige has maintained an environmentally friendly and sustainable lifestyle for the past three years while studying in Canada. She takes her own bag when she goes grocery shopping and uses second-hand items as often as possible. She avoids almost all paper-related products unless she has to use a public toilet while away from home.Diligence and thrift are time-honored traditional Chinese virtues. Su's family is a good example of this, according to the native of Weihai, Shandong province. Although they have little formal “green” knowledge, her parents lead a very environmentally friendly life.For example, the family has used the same hair dryer for more than a decade, and Su remembers many of her mother's clothes from as far back as kindergarten. “As long as something can still be used, my mother will not replace it with a new item,” she said.“I frequently asked my father to bring the plastic bag back home after dumping our waste in the trash bin. Hewas unhappy, and argued that instead of making that request, I should go downstairs to dump the waste myself” she said. In another move, her father criticized her for doing too much shopping online. Eventually, they both made steps toward becoming better environmentalists. Her father brings the bag back for reuse and she has only bought two pieces of clothing online in the past six months.Back in Canada, Su is looking forward to finding a job related to sustainable development in China after she graduates as a computer science major in the summer.8. Which of the following best describes Su Yige?A. Conservative.B. Nostalgic.C. Economical.D. Productive.9. What can be found about Su's mother according to the third paragraph?A. She has a lot of formal green knowledge.B. She regards using the same items as a lifestyle.C. She always wears old clothes due to lack of money.D. She will not replace the old items until they are out of style.10. What can be inferred about Su and her father?A. Both of them like to criticize each other.B. Su's father is particular about her clothes.C. The relationship between them is very tense.D. They urge each other to become more environmentally friendly.11. What can we learn about the author soon after she graduates in Canada?A. She will stay there to look for a job.B. She will put effort into computer science.C. She will devote herself to her motherland's future.D. She will come back to China to stay with her parents.DOnline education has grown fast over the past ten years. The explosion of technology has made teaching outside the traditional classroom possible for teachers and has provided learners with easy access to course materials. Its attractiveness, benefits, and challenges are addressed.In April, 2005, I was approached by a student who was interested in our doctoral program. However, the first question out of her mouth was, “Do you offer any online courses?” Later that day, as I was reading the conference program guide trying for interesting presentations, I noticed many workshops on web-based learning and onlineeducation. I later attended two of those workshops and met several professors from different universities who had either taught online courses for quite some time or who were discovering the best practice for teaching online. These experiences helped me realize at least to some extent the degree of growth in online education.My responsibilities for the term included gaining more understanding of online education. Consequently, I made several attempts to enrich my knowledge of distance learning and online teaching. I consulted with my colleagues who were teaching online courses. This helped me recognize the importance of getting materials prepared even before the start of a term. I also learned that online courses may consume more time than regular classroom teaching. And I attended several workshops regarding online education and established a network with those who were involved in online programs at other universities. I will consider these people as my consultants as I begin to design my own online course. Also, I conducted a brief survey with 15 students and two faculty members who had taken or taught an online course before to understand their experience. Eventually I completed a literature review which gave me the foundation and the background of understanding the need for online education.12. What benefits the development of online education?A. Teachers’ good teaching ability.B. Lack of traditional classrooms.C. Learners’ access to free courses.D. The rapid advance of technology.13. Why did the author take a student for example?A. To show students’ love for the doctoral program.B. To persuade learners of traditional education.C. To explain the growing trend of online education.D. To predict the future of the teaching career.14. What caused the author to know more about online education?A. The appetite for knowledge.B. The professional responsibilities.C. The requirement of research.D. The colleagues’ encouragement.15. What is the author’s attitude to online education?A. Carefree.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Unwilling.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。

Mommy BloggersDWhile elephants born without tusks （长牙）are not unheard of，they normally form just 2 to 6 percent of the population．However，that is not the case at Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park，where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the country^ civil war ended in 1992 are tuskless．While that may appear to be just a coincidence，Joyce Poole，an elephant behavior expert，has another theory．The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory．Poole says before the country's 15-year-long civil war，the 100，000-acre park was home to over 4，000 elephants．However，by the time the conflict ended in 1992，about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to help finance weapons （武器）and meat to feed the soldiers．Of the less than 200 survivors，over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks．Therefore，it is not surprising that the park's tuskless elephant population has grown greatly．This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants．At Zambia's South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area，areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s，35% of elephants 25 years or older and 13% of those younger than 25 are now without tusks．A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the numter of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989，largely due to illegal hunting for ivory．The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of，or at least reduce，elephant hunting．However，scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants witha higher rate of tuskless females，to change the trend．12.What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1 ？______A. Illegal hunting．B. Constant farming．A pure coincidence．D．Natural evolution．13.Why did people kill so many elephants during the civil war in Mozambique？______A. To get funds by selling ivory．B. To develop new weapons．C. To provide food for local people．D. To make ivory products．14.Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants？______A. Gorongonsa National Park．B. South Luangwa National Park．C. The Ruaha National Park．D. Lupande Game ManagementArea．15.What does the underlined phrase uthe trendin the last paragraph refer to？______A. Elephants facing greater danger．B. Elephants growing more slowly．C. Fewer female elephants staying alive．D.

2020年湖北省巴东一中高三英语模拟试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（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AJuanito Estrella has been a housekeeping manager on the US-based large passenger ship Carnival Spirit for 18 months and feels he has found the suitable position in his career(职业). He has always wanted to travel. “I guess I am a really restless spirit.I like traveling, so when the chance came, I jumped at it,” he says.The chance came in the form of a newspaper advertisement for work on cruise ships（游船）. At the time Estrella was the housekeeping manager at a Melbourne hotel. He applied and, after two interviews, a medical check and police clearance, the job was his.Estrella is responsible(负责的)for the cleanliness of the ship, making sure that 160 crew work properly. “I enjoy it because there is no other work-you wake up each day in a different place anda different culture. It’s exciting when you go to the next country and you don’t understand the language,” he says.Estrella likes being busy and getting to know people from all over the world. The 1,000 crew come from 94 countries, and Estrella has learnt Spanish and a little Croatian.But there is adownside. “You cannot get really drunk...because you have safety responsibilities to yourself and others,” he says. “You don’t really think about home.You start to think about home only when you get closer to your vacation and wonder what you’ll be doing.”Life on the ship is anything but cruising. Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day, seven days a week. He warns the job is not for everybody. “You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every day-and to give up drinking too much alcohol.” In his spare time, if the ship sails into a port, Estrella explores it, otherwise he works out in the crew’s gym, goes on the internet or calls home.1.Which of the following is true?A.He has been a housekeeping manager for 18 months.B.He doesn’t drink wine now.C.He cannot speak a foreign language.D.He used to be a housekeeping manager.2.The underlined word“downside”in paragraph 5 probably means ________ .A.disappointmentB.disadvantageC.failureD.loss3.In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that life on the ship is ________.A.not a tiring journey at allB.just an interesting voyageC.far from a voyage for pleasureD.more than a pleasant travel by seaBA company called Neuralink has shared a video which appears to show a monkey playing a video game, but what makes the video even stranger is that themonkey is playing the video game with just its mind.Neuralink is a company owned by Elon Musk, which is working to develop devices that could allow people to control things using just their brains. The monkey in the video is called Pager, having special "Link" devices inside his brain. These devices are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands.Scientists taught Pager to play a video game using a banana juice as a reward when he playedthe game correctly. Soon Pager was eager to play well in order to get more smoothie. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick (操纵杆). But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.Then they used computers to match up the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was challenging work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence (AI) to help them decode (解码) Pager's brain signals.The next step was to have a computer make moves in the video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an "up"signal to the video game. Thus Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.When people are paralyzed (瘫痪的), it's often because the brain has lost the ability to send signals to nerves and muscles in certain parts of the body. Neuralink hopes that one day, its system will be ableto send this information in a different way, allowing paralyzed people to use their arms or legs again.4. What does Neuralink aim to do?A. To make monkeys much smarter.B. To solve complex problems with monkeys.C. To create a device linking monkeys and people.D. To make people control things with their brains.5. How does the author introduce the process of the research?A. In order of time.B. By making a comparison.C. By giving examples.D. In order of space.6. What played an important role in the success of the research?A. The joystick.B. Artificial intelligence.C. The video game.D. The banana smoothie.7. Which is the most suitable title of the test?A. Neuralink Posts an Unusual VideoB. Disabled People Have a Bright FutureC. Monkey Plays Video Games with His MindD.

2020届湖北省宜都市一中高三英语模拟试题及答案第一部分阅读（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AWhat good films are coming out in March? Here are four films to watch this March.MulanIt’s another live-action remake of a classic Disney cartoon. It is based on an ancient Chinese girl who dresses up herself as a man so that she can join the army.Director Niki Caro and the actors show us wonderful battle scenes and Chinese Kung Fu.OnwardDragons, unicorns (独角兽) and other creatures are usually considered to only exist in ancient Greece, but in Onward, they are all still alive and kicking in the UStoday. Onward is about two brothers who go on a road trip in order to bring their father back from the dead. It is such a perfect film that it’s worth spending a few hours in the cinema.RadioactiveRadioactive tells us about a famous Polish-French scientist, Marie Curie who won the Nobel Prize twice but was finally killed by the radiation she studied. In the film. Curie is played by Rosamund Pike alongside Sam Riley as her husband Pierre Curie and Anya Taylor-Joy as their daughter Irene.MisbehaviorThe Miss World Beauty Contest may be out of fashion, but it used to be one of television’s biggest events.Misbehaviortells what happened when the event was staged at the Royal Albert hall in London in 1970. There could hardly be a more interesting topic for a film, even if it was set 50 years ago.1. What do we know about Onward?A. It praises a woman fighter.B. It is a Chinese story.C. It focuses on animal protection.D. It is a film about magic.2. Who does Rosamund Pike play?A. A soldier.B. A killer.C. A scientist.D. A designer.3. Which of the following films is set in the UK?A. Misbehavior.B. Onward.C. Radioactive.D. Mulan.BRain is vital to life on Earth. However, rain isn’t just made of water anymore—it’s partly made of plastic.Millions of tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are wandering around Earth’s atmosphere and traveling across entire continents according to a study published in one journal on April 12.Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter and come from a number of sources. Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits. Some microplastics are produced deliberately to provide abrasion(研磨)in products, such as toothpaste and cleansers. Another major source is your washing machine. When you wash clothing, tiny microfibers get washed away with the wastewater. Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant, the microplastics remain,and they are released into the sea.Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain, but the former is far more widespread and harder to deal with. The tiny particles, too small to be seen with the naked eye, are collected by the wind from the ground. They are so light that they stay in the air to be blown around the globe. As they climb into the atmosphere, they are thought to act as nuclei (核心) around which water vapor (水蒸气) combines to form clouds. Some of the dust falls back to land in dry conditions, while the rest comes down as rain.Microplastics have been found everywhere you can imagine. From fish and frogs to mice and mosquitoes, their bodies have been found on average to contain 40 pieces of microplastic. As the top of the food chain, humans are exposed to microplastics, too. “We live on a ball inside a bubble,” microplastic researcher Steve Allen said. “There are no borders, there are no edges. It rains on the land and then gets blown back up into the air again to move somewhere else. There’s no stopping it once it’s out.”4. What do we know about microplastics?A. They have a diameter of over 5 millimeters.B. They have become a threat to humans.C. They are light and can be easily dealt with.D. They cause acid rain and plastic rain.5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. Waysto deal with microplastics.B. The wide use of microplastics.C. Where microplastics come from.D. How microplastics pollute water.6. What does Steve Allen want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. No place can be safe from microplastic pollution.B. The atmosphere possesses the ability to self-cleanse.C. Countries should work together to fight pollution.D. Wind causes microplastics to move somewhere else.7. The main purpose of the article is to________.A. call on people to use fewer plastic productsB. warn people of the danger of microplasticsC. introduce the sources and effects of microplasticsD. make a comparison between acid rain and plastic rainCFor 30 years we have been told how temperatures have been rising rapidly to unheard of levels. This is causing polar ice to melt, sea-levels to rise and has brought about adangerous increase in extreme weather events. These intense climatic changes would likely present challenges to our society and environment.The causes of climate change are mainly anthropogenic (人为的) in nature. Since the industrial revolution, human activities have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The increased amount of gases which absorb heat has led to more heat being kept in the atmosphere, causing global warming.The certainty of global warming can be seen through some of the natural phenomena like the effect on crops and extreme weather conditions around the world. The most recent assessment report says that the earth’s average temperature has risen by 0. 74 degrees in the period from 1906 to 2005, and that the average temperature will continue to rise. There have also been more violent downpours, sea levels have risen and the ice at the world’s poles and on its mountains is melting. The rising sea level is flooding the low-lying countries inAsiaand small islands in the Pacific. This may lead to the displacement of millions of people, loss of millions of land and consequently billions of dollars.Troubled by the serious situation, world leaders came together for the 2015 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference inParis. The climate talks led to 196 countries reaching a landmark agreement that will, for the first time, commit nearly every country to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to address global climate change. That was certainly an encouraging step forward for our earth and mankind!As the world leaders continue to commit themselves to monitor our sick planet, we need to continue to take small steps to heal the world. We are left with not much of a choice. If only we could just pack our bags andmigrate to Mars!8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The information of industrial revolution.B. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.C. The reasons of climate change.D. The result of extreme weather events.9. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. We have made great achievements.B. Some measures are still required to take.C. Mars is suitable for people’s living.D. Some countries will receive urgent aid.10. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Long Live Planet Earth!B.Environment Changes Rapidly!C. What Serious Global Warming!D. How Important the UN Agreement Is!11. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A. B.C. D.DThose who are concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy—for now. Though the androids have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks, they are not ready for the greatest time. At least that appears to be the case atJapan’s Henn-na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff are being replaced by humans.The first location of the unique hotel opened in July 2015 was atNagasaki’s Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park. The hotel’s owner, Hideo Sawada, promised the hotel to be managed primarily by robots. Guests were greeted and checked-in by a dinosaur robot, while a cute android called Churi, placed inside each room, provided information about attractions. Not surprisingly, the lodging, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel byGuinness World Records, drew in curious visitors from all around the world.But as the years have passed, the hotel’s main draw is becoming less novel and more unsatisfactory. Also as the robots are “aging”, they are costing more to repair. Among the 283 androids being replaced are the chain’s two dinosaur receptionists. In addition to scaring young guests, they are also unable to photocopy guests’ passports, forcing human employees to step in each time. Also out are the cute Churi robots, which annoyed guests by interrupting their conversations. For example, one guest told The Wall Street Journal that Churi mistook his snoring for a command and kept asking him to repeat his request all night.Sawada told The Wall Street Journal, “When you actually use robots you realize there are places where they aren’t needed—or just annoy people.” While Sawada may be cutting back on his use of androids, the recently-opened Smart LYZ Hotel and the Fly Zoo Hotel inChina, are run entirely by robots, with not a human in sight. Whether the employees have more competence than those “hired” by the Henn-na Hotel chain remains to be seen.12. What makesJapan’s Henn-na Hotel unique?A. Its robot employees.B. Its advanced equipment.C. Its convenient location.D. Its successful management.13. What is the author’s purpose with the example in paragraph 3?A. To entertain readers.B. To prove Churi’s drawback.C. To introduce Churi’s functions.D. To persuade people not to book the hotel.14. What does the owner ofJapan’s Henn-na Hotel think of his robot staff now?A. Attractive.B. Costly.C. Pioneering.D. Disappointing.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Robots Are Taking Over the World.B. The Boom of Robots-staffed Hotel.C. Robot Staff Are Fired For No Competence.D. The First Robots-staffed Hotel Won Guinness World Record.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。

It was only 2 degrees outside, but the cold wind made it feel like it was 15 below zero. Still, I was kneeling in the snow alongside my house trying to open a tiny door, so I eoukl get in. 1 had forgotten to leave my water dripping the night before and now my water pipes were frozen and my faucets(水龙头)were dry.The wind cut into me like a knife while I struggled to get two electric heaters in place around the section of frozen pipes. The waterlines were buried except for a small piece that connected up to my house.I put a heater on each side of it, ran the extension cords(软线)into my house and plugged them in. Both heaters roared to life and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipes. My fingers had already started to go numb, so I stayed inside to wait. I could only hope that this bit of warmth could get my water flowing again. Finally, after twenty minutes, the water started flowing through my faucets again. I went back outside into the biller cold and gathered my heaters up. I looked at the weak January sun shining on the frozen snow and smiled. Then I sent a joy filled with "Thank you" heavenward and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast.Sometimes the coldness of this life can get to us as well. It can make our hearts feel icy and frozen. Itcan keep our kindness and love from flowing out to others. Sometimes, though, all we need is a bit of warnth to get us going again. It can be a simple smile, a kind word, a heart-felt hug, a morning sunrise, a bird's song or any gentle reminder of just how much God loves us. Let us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit of wannth for others every chance we get.24.

It is meant to help people make educated, healthy choices one grocery cart at a time. Across the country, hospitals are setting up food banks and medical schools are putting cooking classes on the curriculum. Nonprofits are connecting medical centers with community resources to ensure that low-income Americans have access to fresh fruits andvegetables.For centuries, Western medicine’s mission was to cure disease. But over the past generation, two generation, two significant trends are of concern to the medical community, says Timothy Harlan, executive director of Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine at Tulane University in New Orleans. Healthcare costs began to soar(激增), and relatively inexpensive, poor-quality food became more common. “There’s a very straightforwar d link between people improving their diets and improving the condition that they have,” Dr. Harlan says.The connection drove the medical and nonprofit communities to rethink their approach to health. What emerged was the concept of the “social determinants of health”－the notion of taking into account the biological, physical, and socioeconomic circumstances surrounding a patient. A healthy person isn’t just someone who is free from disease, the theory goes; he or she also enjoys “a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being.”The question the medical community now faces is how to get patients－especially low-income families－to recognize these determinants and make it possible for them to eat and live healthier. In Boston, medical experts responded by creating an on-site pantry(食品室) at Boston Medical Center. Since its founding in 2002, the pantry has evolved into a kind of nutrition center where primary care providers at BMC send patients for food. Today the pantry, which gets 95 percent of its stock from the Greater Boston Food bank, hosts free cooking classes and serves about 7,000 people a month. The Greater Boston Food Bank has also launched its own initiatives, striking partnerships with four community health centers across the state to offer free mobile produce markets. The organization also helped develop toolkits(软件包) that map local pantries, markets that accept government food vouchers, and other resources.At Tulane in New Orleans, Harlan is leading the development of a curriculum that combines medicine with the art of food preparation. His philosophy: Doctors who know their way around a kitchen are better at helping their patients. And empowering patients to take charge of their own diets is one way to help them deal with the incredible costs of health care, Harlan says. The curriculum has since been adopted at 35 medical schools around the United States. Chipping away at bad habits is a good place to start getting patients to think about the choices they make for themselves and their families, say Dr Maureen Villasenor, the Orange County pediatrician(儿科医生).32.
