2020届新高考英语模拟仿真卷第2卷1、National Geographic Exhibit "Titanic: The Untold Story"The National Geographic Museum is always an interesting and educational place to visit. The admission isn't free but is definitely worthwhile for unique exhibits like this. We'll be taking a self-guided tour hut there may also he museum staff on hand.About the exhibitionOn this exhibition, you will be surprised to find that the sunken Titanic was discovered by Robert Ballard, who was then carrying out a top secret Cold War mission(任务）. In 1985，Ballard’s mission was to dive to depths of 9,800 feet using a camera system called Argo to find and document the exploded remains of the submarine (潜艇) Scorpion. The objective of the mission was to gain evidence to determine what led to her loss. After concluding his successful investigations，Ballard used the final 12 days of his expedition to discover the remains of Titanic.The exhibition —originally exhibited at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum —shows the history of the discovery from an entirely new angle. Not only are visitors exposed to the historical events that led to the ship’s finding, but they can hear the fascinating stories of some of the passengers on board the ship. In addition to items borrowed from families of the survivors that have not been reunited since the night the ship sank in 1912, the exhibition contains those from the rich collections of the National Archives and the 20th Century Fox Archives. There are also movie sets and clothes worn by actors from the 1997 movie Titanic.PriceRegular：$15Seniors/Students/Military ：$ 12Children 5—12 ( free under 5 ) ：$ 101.

She often talked about how exciting and interesting the experience was. So, even before finishing high school, Downey had decided to follow suit one day.Downey began studying architecture at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2004. Near the end of her second year, she started to feel unhappy with her school and decided it was time to study abroad.U. S. colleges and universities commonly have joint programs with foreign schools that permit student exchanges. These programs usually last half a school year or sometimes a whole school year. The classes students take abroad usually give them credits toward their degree. In a four-year degree program, the third year is the most common time for American college students to study abroad. Many students think they need a change before what is usually their final and most difficult year of study.Downey said her school did not want her to go at first. The architecture program at Lehigh was very intense, and her professors were worried she might miss learning important material. However, she was eventually able to get special permission to study internationally for a whole year. During the fall term in 2006, she attended a Danish international school in Copenhagen, Denmark, explaining she did so because Danish architects are well known for their housing design.Young adult as she was, she had to deal with travel documents and many other issues(问题) on her own. Overcoming the language barrier is the biggest challenge of studying abroad. However, she had a lot of emotional(情感的) and financial support from her family. She learned life lessons and made friendships and memories that have lasted to this day. She said, "The more you’re out of your comfort zone, the more rewar ding the experience is in the end."1.What does Downey’s mother mean to Downey?A.A friend.B.A dreamer.C.An example.D.An expert.2.Why did Downey finally decide to study abroad?A.Her mother asked her to do so.B.Her school didn't live up to her expectations.C.She disliked studying architecture.D.The joint programs gave her much inspiration.3.What made Downey choose the Danish international school?A.The famous learned professors.B.The casual learning environment.C.The impressive academic reputation.D.The favorable geographical location.4.What can we infer according to the last paragraph?A.It was not easy for Downey to study abroad.B.The comfortable life is likely to ruin the future life.C.Downey was too young to take care of herself.D.Downey's parents could hardly afford her education.3、The Ebro Delta, known as, a battleground during the Spanish Civil War, is now the setting for a different contest, where rice farmers fight against two enemies: the rice-eating giant apple snail, and rising sell levels. What happens here will have an effect on the future of European rice production and the overall health of southern European wetlands.Located in the Western Mediterranean, the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year, making it one of the continent's most important rice-growing areas. As the sea moves into these fresh-water marshes(湿地), however, rising salinity(盐分) is hindering rice production. At the same time, this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail, an introduced pest that feeds on young rice plants. The most promising strategy has become to exploit one evil against the other.The battle is currently in progress on land, in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona. Scientists working under the guidance of "Project Neurice" are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency."The project has two sides, "says Xavier Serrat, Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona, "the short-term fight against the snail, and a mid-to long-term fight against climate change. But the snail has given the project greater urgency. "Originally from South America, the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta. For now, the giant apple snail's presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta, But the snail continues its march to new territory, says Serrat. "The question is not whether it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe, but when."1. What's the most effective strategy according to Paragraph 2?A. Beating enemies one by one.B. Striking the stronger enemy first.C. Killing two birds with one stone.D. Using one enemy to hit the other.2. What do we know about the "Project Neurice"?A. It puts the control of snails first.B. It functions pretty well on climate change.C. It aims to increase the Spanish rice production.D. It stresses the snails' effect on rice production.3. What can be known about the apple snails from the text?A. It can tolerate the rising salinity.B. It will attack other rice-growing areas.C. It multiplies at a high speed.D. It was introduced into Span deliberately.4. Which section is the text most likely from?A. Chemistry.B. Tourism.C. Farming.D. Geography.4、The ruins of a Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR. This lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna, but shows that these famous areas are a small part of this lost urban network.Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve site, more than 60,000human-made features —homes，canals，highways，and more —have been identified in aerial (从飞机上的)images collected by some international researchers headed by the PAGUNAM Foundation, a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization. Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya Empire.These ancient peoples obviously created these imaginative cultures based on their known relics (遗迹），but the new research has suggested that the size of this lost society is far beyondwhat experts imagined. The findings will be explored in a one-hour documentary called "Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings", to be broadcast on the National Geographic Channel.This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can survey lands in 3D by bouncing pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological(考古的）sites, as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground. The technique has made many discoveries become a reality in recent years. For instance, major finds at Angkor, Cambodia and Caracol, Belize can explain what it did. The final goal is to survey Guatemala’s lowlands with it."There are entire cities we didn't know about now showing up in the survey data," Francisco Estrada-Belli, one of the lead archeologists on the project, said in Nat Geo's coming documentary. "There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities about the mysterious people who built this urban network there that we don’t know about，and we will push back the frontiers with the technology，" he added.1. What does the underlined word "Those" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Jungles.B. Human-made features.C. Researchers.D. Aerial images.2. What does the author want to convey in paragraph 4?A. The working principle of LiDAR sensors.B. The process of researching Maya civilization.C. Great importance of Guatemalans lowlands.D. LiDA R’s contribution to discovering the relics.3. Which words can best describe the lost Maya city?A. Small and hidden.B. Famous and high-tech.C. Vast and complex.D. Fully-explored and imaginative.4. What will the archeologists do next?A. Continue to explore the unknown.B. Upgrade the LiDAR technology.C. Study the documentary carefully.D. Build a massive urban network,5、I feel happy when I come home at the end of the day and see those big, graphic prints on my wall.

It appeals to readers feeling hopeless.BI work at a grocery store in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood, which gets a lot of regulars. On March 12, the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic （流行病） of coronavirus.The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen. The six cash registers had to be kept open from 10 a. m. until close. It was nuts. I didn't have time to eat lunch, and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom, we9d have to bring in a coworker off the floor to cover for us.Since then, the atmosphere in the store has been different. Customers are mostly considerate, but whenever someone coughs or sneezes, everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow. I've even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups. One guy even came in with a plastic Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head, with a slit cut out for his eyes.A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic. Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work, but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage. I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I'm working the same hours.There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos. I've overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work. I know everyone is worried, but it'suseless having the same scary conversations day after day. Instead, tell us a funny anecdote, or about something nice. We'll appreciate the distraction, and you'll make our day just a bit brighter.4. What does the author intend to show by " It was nuts." in paragraph 2?A. The goods were in short supply.B. The store was having a big sale.C. The cashiers complained about their work.D. The locals rushed to do shopping like crazy.5. What does paragraph 3 convey about customers?A. They like to shop here in disguise.B. They are panicky about the disease .C. They are more friendly to each other.D. They have taken proper preventive measures.6. Which of the following best describes the author?A. Optimistic.B. Talented.C. Ambitious.D. Efficient.7. What is the best title for the text?A. It is not work but worry that killsB. Helping others is helping ourselvesC. Moments of kindness shine in a time of chaosD. Here is what it's like working in the pandemicCBlue whales, the earth's largest animals, call to others of their kind, though exactly what these cries communicate remains a mystery . But these sounds have begun evolving （演变）. Since at least the 1960s,the pitch （音调）of Antarctic blue whales has downshifted. Scientists have theories as to why: all involving humans.The deepening of their sounds is not unique. Many blue whales around the world have also dropped their pitch . In a study last year that analyzed more than 1 million individual recordings of whale calls, scale shifts were found across species, and among populations that don't necessarily interact with one another. This is to say, whatever has caused the change doesn't seem to have a specific geographic origin.The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea industries might seem a likely criminal. However, scientists have identified lowered pitches even across populations of whales that live in seas without major shipping routes.One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts. As their populations have grown, then , the whales may have decreased their volume because they are more likely to be communicating over short distances.Last year's study of whale calls also suggests a threatening reason for the drop in pitch, however. Perhaps whales don't need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceansmade acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, meanwhile, may also indirectly influence whale voices in other ways. Recent study shows that, during the summer, the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice — a natural sound increased by unnatural processes, as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt. So the impacts of a warming planet may modulate animal sounds even in remote places.8. To what extent is whales' pitch drop?A. Across the species.B. In the Antarctic ocean .C. Among some populations.D. Within one million individuals.9. What causes the evolving of whales' pitch according to the text?A. Less communication and more threat.B. Protection efforts and acidic sea water.C. Sharp decrease of whales' populations；D. Underwater noises by ships and industries.10. What does the underlined word "modulate" mean in the last paragraph?A. Produce.B. Damage.C. Balance.D. Change.11. What can we infer from the text?A. Man is the soul of nature.B. Man and nature are in one.C. Nature pardons no mistakes .D. Nature has the final say over man.DThose driving forward the movement of paying college athletes are forgetting the reason one goes to college: to get an education .In an era struggling for competitive balance, how would the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) keep from giving schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive advantage thanschools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf Coast? The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided .Even worse, imagine athletes just coming to college for the money. We call college athletes amateurs. Oxford's definition of amateur is "a person who engages in a pursuit, especially a sport, on an unpaid basis. " The keyword is unpaid. The history of the word " amateur" dates back to the F rench word "amator”, which means lover. Essentially, college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game, not the money that would be given to them.Rules should not be made for the minority, and in this instance only two percent of athletes play professional sports . The expected career span of that two percent is 10 years, three and a half years in the National Football League (NFL). An astonishing 80 percent of retired NFL players go broke within three years of retirement ,60 percent in the NBA within five years. This is why the NCAA and its member institutions should apply a "stay and learn”, rule.This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college, they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose . That money from going professional is going to run out sometime, but the degree will always be there.Look at college athletics for what it is and should always be, a high-pressure learning environment and an avenue to earn an education. A much more fun extension of the classroom if you will. After all, they are called student-athletes.12. How can the salary difference influence college teams?A. It is likely to promote cooperation.B. It can increase their independence.C. It can lead to more communication.D. It will probably cause more imbalance .13. Why does the author give explanations to the word "amateur”?A. To give an individual comment.B. To confirm the origin of the word.C. To make the point more authoritative .D. To provide an example for the argument.14.

2020届新高考英语全真模拟卷(二)(原卷word版)

2020年山东新高考英语全真模拟卷 (二)英语试卷第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5 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 Fennec fox is also known as the desert fox since it survives in the Sahara Desert. It is the smallest of the species of foxes, and quite a few people wish to raise it as a pet because of its appearance. However, this is very rare, as it needs special care and attention. Let's take a look at the basic information on the Fennec fox, including its physical appearance, natural habitat, and diet.Physical AppearanceThe Fennec fox is the smallest type of fox, with a body length of about 9.5－16 inches, and 6inchlong ears. It weighs only around one kilogram. It has a creamcolored, furry body, with a blacktipped tail.Their ears are the largest among all foxes relative to the body size, which not only provide them with great hearing, but also radiate the extreme desert heat and thus help to keep the body cool. Moreover, in order to walk on the hot sand, a Fennec fox's feet are covered with thick fur. Not only that, the feet also help in digging, as this animal lives under the ground.Habitat and LifestyleThe habitat of this animal is mainly in the Sahara Desert, and also in other parts of North Africa. The Fennec fox is usually active during the night. This character helps it deal successfully with the extreme heat in the desert.As an extremely social animal, it often lives in groups of ten and each group has its own land. This animal is, however, aggressive too, ready to attack, especially in the mating (交配) season, when they all compete with each other for a mate.DietThe Fennec fox is an omnivore (杂食动物). While it can survive on plants, it also needs other items such as insects, rabbits, birds and eggs. Getting used to living in the desert allows it to survive for long periods without any water. They are known to take in water when eating food, but will drink water if available.21．What helps the Fennec fox survive in the desert?A．The small body size.B．The great hearing.C．Getting active at night.D．Living in groups.22．The word “radiate” (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________.A．send out B．take inC．suffer from D．turn down23．What can we learn about the Fennec fox in the passage?A．It seldom attacks others.B．It's difficult to raise it as a pet.C．It can survive without any water.D．It's the smallest animal in the desert.BDaban town is famous for girls and windmills, while Loulan is a myth (神话) in the desert. Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful Luobu Lake, there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were lots of dancing parties. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. It became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.Loulan was first “discovered” by a Swedish man named Sven Hedin in 1900, and people from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made. It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of the Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin Dynasties, and covered an area of some 10,000 square kilometres. Inside the city, there are the ruins of government offices, temples and other old buildings. Outside the city there are some driedup rivers and much farmland. In the past century many things have been dug up there including Han Dynasty coins, mirrors and many others of Greek and Roman times. All these things show that a lot of business between the East and the West once took place there.Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area, the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless “forests” of mounds (小丘) which aren't easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery has been attracting many people from many countries.24．The first person setting foot in Loulan in the 20th century was ________.A．a European B．an AmericanC．a Chinese D．a Japanese25．Before Loulan disappeared, ________.A．there was no government in that areaB．people from America and Japan had been thereC．a lifeless area with lots of mounds could be easily seen thereD．much business between the East and the West had taken place there26．What can be inferred from the text?A．Loulan was destroyed by the terrible weather there.B．Wars between the countries made Loulan disappear.C．Too many people gathered in Loulan and destroyed it.27．What makes so many people visit the Loulan Kingdom now?A．Its pretty girls.B．Its developing business.C．Its mystery.D．Its beautiful scenery.CInternational pressure may be the only way to stop the Brazilian government from taking a “suicide” path in the Amazon, one of the country’s most respected scientists has said, as the world’s biggest rainforest continues to be destroyed by thousands of deliberate fires.The large number of fires— set illegally to clear and prepare land for crops, cattle and buildings– has resulted in the state of Amazonas to declare an emergency, created heavy smoke clouds that have drifted hundreds of miles, and raised international concerns about the destruction of a carbon sink, which refers to the use of plant photosynthesis （光合作用）to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.On Wednesday, the UK trade minister Conor Burns was shaking hands with his counterparts in Brasilia and declaring a desire to “deepen relations”. Asked about the fires, he declined to comment but reportedly said Bolsonaro’s government had ambitions to bring prosperity to its people.Scientists say the ongoing destruction will have serious consequences for Brazil and the world.Carlos Nobre, a senior researcher with the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of São Paulo, said the increase in cutting down forests was taking the rainforest closer to a tipping point beyond which the usually humid forest would become an extremely dry place, with serious consequences for the climate, wildlife and forest creatures.Nobre said destruction of forests was on course to rise by 20-30% this year and was “very likely” to pass 10,000 sq km for the first time in more than 10 years. The trend has been worsening for several years, but it has accelerated under Bolsonaro, who has weakened the environment agency and expressed support for miners, farmers and loggers.Nobre表示，今年森林砍伐率预计将上升20-30％，并且很可能在十多年内首次超过10,000平方公里。

AFOUR BEST BOOKSHOPS IN LONDONLooking for something to read while in London? If so, you’re in luck: the British capital happens to have an incredible collection of bookshops.Daunt BooksAre you going on a trip and want to read a novel or nonfiction book set in the place you’re headed? This bookshop arranges books by country, so it’s eas y to find anything by place. (83 Marylebone High Street. Monday-Saturday: 09:00-19:30; Sunday: 11:00-18:00.)Foyles BooksDig, if you will, the picture: four miles of shelves holding up to 200,000 books. This legendary (传奇的) bookshop is impossible to leave empty-handed. It was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as thebiggest bookshop on the planet. (107 Charing Cross Road. Monday-Saturday: 9:00-21:00; Sunday: 11:30-18:00.) HatchardsIn the year 1797, this London bookshop—the oldest in the city today—first flicked on its lights. It stocks an excellent selection of fiction, nonfiction, history and other genres. (187 Piccadilly Street. Monday-Saturday: 09:30-20:00; Sunday: 12:00-18:30.)London Review BookshopThere’s an excellent selection of h istory, philosophy, politics, new fiction and many other genres here. Plus, there’s a nice cafe in which you can crack open that tome (巨著) for the first time and start reading. (14 Bury Place. Monday-Saturday 10:00-18:30; Sunday 12:00-18:00.)21. Which bookstore was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records?A. Daunt Books.B. Foyles Books.C. Hatchards.D. London Review Bookshop.22. What is special about Hatchards?A. It has a long history.B. It has 200,000 books.C. It has a cafe.D. It has both fiction and nonfiction books.23. Which place should you go to if you want to enjoy reading with a coffee?A. 83 Marylebone High Street.B. 107 Charing Cross Road.C. 187 Piccadilly Street.D. 14 Bury Place.BI’m going to be completely honest. I have no idea how I ended up with this opportunity, I have no idea what I’m doing, but I am very happy to be here.Last summer a friend tagged me in a Facebook post from BBC Earth and encouraged me to apply to the BBC Presenter Search 2018. The assignment was easy and hard, make a video shorter than 60 seconds where you talk about something in science you think is cool. Simple concept, but for me it was challenging as I want to talk about bryophytes(苔藓植物) forever (which is slightly longer than 60 seconds).So I decided to make an attempt. I was going to make a 60 second video about sphagnum(水苔), commonly known as peat moss and uncommonly known as an unsung climate hero. Sphagnum is the plant genus that holds the most carbon in the world, it slowly builds up its carbon storage over hundreds of thousands of years and if undisturbed, they never let go of the carbon they gathered.Making a short video on this was hard because I wanted to include everything. And it became even harder as Ihad no one to hold the camera. I tied my camera to the scrawniest little tree, swinging in the wind as a bird tried to chase me away from the mud. This chaos ended up as the video “Why sphagnum is awesome” on my channel. I submitted the video, but didn’t dare to write in the de scription section of the video that it was a submission, because I never imagined that I could win!But I did.I waited two months before I could tell people that I had won the search, and when the news came out, I received the most attention I’ve had in m y entire life.No matter your background, whether you want to pass the time or pass an exam, I really hope you enjoy the video!24. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 1?A. She is uncertain about the result.B. She gets used to telling people lies.C. She is unable to achieve the goal.D. She knows much about the ending.25. Which of the following is NOT true about sphagnum?A. It can form its carbon storage in a very slow way.B. It is universally recognized as an unknown climate hero.C. It won’t release the carbon without being disturbed.D. It contains a large amount of carbon.26. The underlined word “scrawniest” in Paragraph 4 probably means ___________.A. weakestB. strongestC. shortestD. most energetic27. What can we learn from the author’s story?A. She shows great interest in filming the video.B. Her knowledge helps overcome all the difficulties.C. Her attitude and hard work pay off eventually.D. She is more than delighted to gain the most attention.CIf we want a fair sho t at transitioning to renewable energy, we’ll need one critical thing: technologies that can change electricity from wind and sun into a chemical fuel for storage and vice versa (反之亦然).Commercial devices that do this exist, but most are costly and perform only half of the expectation. Now, researchers have created small lab-scale devices that do both jobs. If larger versions work as well, theywould help make it possible—or at least more affordable—to run the world on renewables.The market for such technologies has grown along with renewables: In 2007, solar and wind provided just 0.8% of all power in the United States: in 2017, that number was 8%, according to the U. S. Energy Information Administration. But the demand for electricity often doesn’t match the supply from solar and wind. In sunny California, for example, solar panels regularly produce more power than needed in the middle of the day, but none at night, after most workers and students return home.Some companies are beginning to install massive rows of batteries in hopes of storing extra energy and balancing the financial sheet. But batteries are costly and store only enough energy to back up the power system for a few hours at most. Another option is to store the energy by transforming it into hydrogen fuel. Devices called electrolyzers (电解器) do this by using electricity—ideally from solar and wind power—to break down water into oxygen and hydrogen gas, a carbon-free fuel. A second set of devices called fuel cells can then transform that hydrogen back to electricity to power cars, trucks, and buses, or to feed it to the power system. But commercial electrolyzers and fuel cells use different catalysts (催化剂) to speed up the two reactions, meaning a single device can t do both jobs. The researchers must conquer this.“They did a really good job with that.” says Sossina Haile, a chemist at Northwestern University in Evanston. Still, she holds a cautious view that both her new device and the one from the O’Hayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations. For the technology to have a societal impact, researchers will need to scale up the button-size devices, a process that typically reduces performance.28. What can we learn about the new device from the first paragraph?A. Its universal use remains to be seen.B. It is more expensive but more practical.C. It can transform more renewable energy.D. It is the most advanced around the world.29. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The rapid development of American technologies.B. The potential market for energy transformation technologies.C. The history of energy transformation technologies.D. The lack of power in California.30. What may the researchers focus on next?A. Lessening costly batteries.B. Increasing the efficiency of the two reactions.C. Looking for one shared catalysts for the two reactions.D Breaking down water into a carbon-free fuel without using electricity.31. What is Haile’s attitude to the future of the new device?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Critical.D. Cautious.DTake a walk through Washington and you’ll find plenty of marble memorials(纪念碑). But is that what the future of the memorial-rich city holds? If the winners of a new design competition have their way, probably not.The Memorials for the Future design competition invited submissions (意见书) from teams throughout the world. Though, the memorials selected won’t actually be built in the city, they were intended to start a discussion about how to think of memorials in a very different future.Climate Chronograph, the winning project by Team Azimuth Land Craft, greatly departs from memorials as we know them. The project memorializes the harmful effects of climate change by suggesting a memorial at Hains Point, a spot between the Potomac River and Washington Channel. Just 100 years ago, the man-made island was part of the river. It came into existence after the National Park Service decided to turn the confluence(合流点) of the waters into a tidal basin to protect the nearby National Mall from floods.Those floods are expected to come more and more often as the climate changes. Climate Chronograph will memorialize those changes by planting cherry trees as a kind of tidal gauge(潮位计) that can be used by future visitors to determine just how much water levels have risen.The other winning projects include a project that frees mechanical parrots that fly over the Jefferson Memorial and collect and retell stories about monuments，a podcast (播客) platform that puts immigrant stories on public transportation, and an interactive memorial that brings national parks to the D. C. Metro. The competition also produced a report that points to ways America can better memorialize the things that matter—strategies that could help cities save money and space.That’s good news, especially given that D. C. ’s iconic Mall has been closed to new construction. The memorials of the future won’t just turn collective memories toward the stories of new phenomena and groups like climate change and immigrants. Rather, it seems that they’ll make use of space in new creative ways—nomarble needed.32. What is the purpose of the design competition?A. To select the best design team.B. To find new uses for old memorials.C. To design new memorials for Washington.D. To explore new ways of experiencing memorials.33. What can be used to replace the underlined word “departs” in Paragraph 3?A. DiffersB. BenefitsC. SuffersD. Learns34. What do we know about Climate Chronograph?A. It will be located in a park.B. It will be built after the competition.C. It clearly shows the effects of climate change.D. It uses high-tech equipment to measure climate change.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. A memorial to a sad future.B. Marble memorials are out of date.C. Climate Chronograph, memorial for our future.D. What will the memorials of the future look like?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。
