2020年成人高考高起点英语模拟试题(一)
2020年成人高考高起点《英语》模拟试题及答案一There was a river with a small town on either side of it. The towns were linked by a bridge.One day，a hole appeared in the bridge. Both towns agreed that the hole should be mended. However，disagreement came up as to who should mend it. Each town thought that it had a better reason for the other to mend the hole. The town on the right bank said that it was at the end of the road，so the left-bank town should mend the hole. The town on the left bank，on the other hand，insisted that all the traffic came to the right-bank town，so it was in their interest to mend the bridge.The quarrel went on and on，and so did the hole. The more it went on，the more the hostility between the two towns grew.One day a man fell into the hole and broke his leg. People from both towns questioned him closely about whether he was walking from the right bank to the left or from the left bank to the right，in order to decide which town should be blamed for the accident. But he could not remember，since he got drunk that night.Some time later，a car was crossing the bridge and broke an axle(轴)because of the hole. Neither town paid any attention to the accident，as the traveler was not going from one to the other，but was merely passing through. The angry traveler got out of the car and asked why the hole was not mended. On hearing the reason，he declared，“I'll buy this hole. Who‘s the owner?”Both towns at once declared that they owned the hole.“One or the other，whoever owns the hole must prove it.”“How shall we prove it?”asked both sides.“That's simple. Only the owner of the hole has the right to mend it. I ‘ll buy the hole from whoever mends the bridge.”People from both towns rushed to do the job while the traveler smoked a cigar and his driver changed the axle. They mended the bridge in no time and asked for the money for the hole.“What hole?”The traveler looked surprised.“I can't see any hole. I ‘ve been looking for a hole for several years now. I'm prepared to pay a good price for it，but there’s no hole here. Are you pulling my leg or what?”He got into his car and drove off.1. What did the two towns quarrel about?A. Which of them should mend the hole.B. Whether the hole should be mended.C. Why there was a hole in the bridge.D. When they should mend the hole.2. The man who had fallen into the hole failed to answer any questions because he ______.A. had one of his legs brokenB. was busy changing the axleC. had drunk too much wineD. was afraid to blame anybody3. Both towns rushed to mend the hole in order to prove that ______.A. they owned the whole bridgeB. they had the right to sell the holeC. they were able to mend the holeD. they could afford to mend the hole4. In“Are you pulling my leg or what?”，the phrase pulling my leg refers to ______.A. trying to stop meB. laughing at meC. putting me in troubleD. making fun of meScientists have searched for many years for a method to tell whether a volcano(火山)explosion will be small or large. Now，four scientists say they have discovered something in lava(熔岩)that will help do this. They did the research on Mount Unzen on the southern Japanese island of Kyushu. Mount Unzen exploded in November，1990. Since then，more explosions have killed 43 people and destroyed the homes of more than 2，000 others. The volcano is still active today.The scientists say the lava of the volcano contains high level of an element(成份)，which is a sign of the presence of the lava from deep in the earth，not from the surface. They say it shows that the lava comingdirectly from inside the earth is connected with huge explosions instead of smaller ones.The scientists examined the lava from 18 explosions of Mount Unzen that took place during many thousands of years. They also studied the lava from other volcanoes in the area that are older than Mount Unzen. The lava studied came from both large and small explosions. The scientists found that large explosions contained more of the element than small ones. The scientists say if they had known this two years earlier，they could have warned the people living in the area near Mount Unzen and saved many lives.5. From the passage we learn that Mount Unzen is the name of ______.A. a huge volcano explosionB. a Japanese islandC. an active volcanoD. a kind of lava6. The four scientists discovered that the level of the element contained in the lava could tell ______.A. the degree of a volcano explosionB. the place of a possible explosionC. the number of volcano explosionsD. the time of a possible explosion7. The research of the four scientists was based on ______.A. the lava that caused explosionsB. the presence of the lava from the surfaceC. the damages caused by the 1990 explosionD. the lava from different explosions in the areaHave you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(误解)?Little wonder. We often believe we're more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are，according to Boza Keysar，a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study，speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here‘s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding：(1)Don't trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod，look at you or say“uhhuh”to be polite or move the conversation along. But it‘s easy to consider these as signs of understanding.(2)Train the editor(编辑)in your head. If you say，“Beth discusses her problems with her husband，”it's not clear whether she‘s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead，“Beth talks to her husband about her problems.”or“Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband.”(3)Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying “I want to be sure I said that right.”Questions like“How does that sound?”or“Does that make sense?”may also work.(4)Listen well. When on the receiving end，ask questions to be sure you're on the same page. After all，it isn‘t just the speaker's job to make his speech understood.8. Why does the writer give us the advice?A. We're not skillful enough to make clear sentences.B. Misunderstanding is damaging our normal lives.C. Misunderstanding occurs now and then.D. It's impolite to say NO to others.9. The writer suggests that when talking to others，the speaker should ______.A. know that listeners will show him that they understand his wordsB. express himself clearly even when he sees signs of understandingC. notice listener's signs of understandingD. look directly into his listener's eyes10. By Train the editor in your head，the speakers are advised _______.A. to get themselves trained by a good editorB. to discuss problems with their husbands or wivesC. to express themselves in long but simple sentencesD. to make sure each sentence has only one meaning11. In the last paragraph，the words you're on the same page mean that ______.A. you're following the speakers closelyB. you're reading the same page as the speaker doesC. you should know which page the speaker refers toD. your story is written on the same page as the speaker'sWhile acting may run in the family，it wasn't Angelina Jolie‘s only choice when thinking about her future. Although Jolie has studied her craft(技艺)since childhood，at one point the 26-year-old，who stars this month in Tomb Raider with her father，actor John Voight，wanted to be a funeral(殡葬)director.“I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort when people could reach out to each other.”Tradition(传统)is always attractive and interesting to Jolie，who moved with her mother，Marcheline Bertand，and brother after her parents separated when she was two.“I never had one home. I never had an attic(阁楼)that had old things in it. We always moved，so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go back and have a look. I'm very drawn to some things that are tradition，that are roots，and I think that may be why I paid such special attention to funerals.”Finally，she chose acting.“Following in my father's footsteps，”she says，“is an interesting thing，because I think we speak to each other through our work. You don‘t really know your parents in a certain way，and they don't really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman，the way I’m dealing with a husband who's been hurt，or the way I‘m crying alone.”“And it's the same for me：I can watch films of his and just see who he is. I‘ve learned to understand him as a person.”12. The passage is about a woman who _______.A. was once a funeral directorB. is the leading actress in Tomb RaiderC. wants an attic to live inD. was hurt by her husband13. Which of the following can best support Tradition is always attractive and interesting to Jolie?A. Jolie longed to have old things from her childhood.B. Having more than one home is always interesting to Jolie.C. Jolie's parents separated when she was very young.D. Tradition is always rooted somewhere.14. The words Following in my father's footsteps most probably mean ______.A. listening to my father's adviceB. taking my father as an exampleC. walking after my fatherD. looking for my father's footsteps15. Angelina Jolie finally chose acting because she thought she and her father could _______.A. work together several months a yearB. bring into memory what happened in the pastC. pay attention to things they are interested inD. get to know each other through their films完形填空通读下面的短文，掌握其大意。

Over time organic farming became more difficult．The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply．Small companies had to sell out to large companies．There weren’t enough organic ingredients(原料)，such as grain and cattle．This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business．Today，many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious?This is part ofthe debate．Many farmers and consumers believe it is．They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such ascancer．Many health professionals disagree．Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria(病毒)，such as E．coli and salmonella．These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food．Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully．Handling meat carefully is important too．Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better．Is tastier food worth the extra money?This is a matter of opinion．Whether it is healthier or not may require more research．However，organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry．12．What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers? A．Price．B．Safety． C．Freshness．D．Variety．13．What is the doctors’suggestion?A．Grow your own food．B．Reduce the use of pesticides．C．Make sure the food is clean．D．Buy large companies’products．14．Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A．It tastes better．B．It is easierto grow．C．It contains more fat．D．It is more nutritious．15．Where does this text probably come from?A．A recipe book．B．A chemistry paper．C．A medical report．D．A health magazine．第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found.Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea , the full extent of it is still unknown.40.The Lost sea is unique because it is .A.part of a historical cave systemB.the biggest underground lake in the worldC.listed in the Guinness Book of World RecordsD.the largest body of water in Tennessee41.Who located the Lost sea in recent times?A.The Cherokee Indians.B.TouristsC.Ben sands.D.scientists.42.What was found in “The Council Room”?A.A small natural opening.B.A large cave.C.Another series of rooms.D.Many old Indian objects.D.Many old Indian object43.It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Cavems presently serve as .A.an underground testing siteB.an Indian meeting groundC.a tourist attractionD.a motor boat race coursePassage Threespace is a dangerous place , not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the sun and other stars.The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth.Light gets through , and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat.Heat , too ,makes our environment endurable.Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space , but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off.As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation.But their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft ,if they are inside , do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space.The unit of radiation is called “rem”.scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem, without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on.The trouble is that it is extremely; difficult to besure about radiation damage—a person may feel perfectly well , but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged , and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed (畸形的) children or even grandchildren.Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and , during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems.So far , no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported , but the Apollo missions have been quite short.We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere , working in a space laboratory.Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation , but no really effective ones have been found so far.44.According to the first paragraph , the atmosphere is essential to man in that .A.it protects him against the harmful rays from spaceB.it provides sufficient light for plant growthC.it supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD.it screens off the falling meteors45.We know from the passage that .A.exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatalB.the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in comingC.radiation is avoidable in space explorationD.astronauts in spacesuits needn't worry about radiation damage46.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.the Apollo mission was very successfulB.protection from space radiation is no easy jobC.astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildrenD.radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers47.The best title for this passage would be .A.The Atmosphere and Our EnvironmentB.Research on RadiationC.Effects of Space RadiationD.Importance of Protection Against RadiationPassage FourMrs.Peters stopped playing the piano when she began to work.She had lived in a very small flat , and there had been no room for a piano.But when she married , she had a new flat which was big enough for one.So she decided to get one and her husband agreed and helped her.She saved some money , and her parents gave her a generous amount of money for her birthday.Then she went to a shop and said , “I'll choose whichever piano does not cost too much and fits into my living room”When she had paid for the piano , the shop assistant asked her if she would like him to get it tuned（调音）every months.Mrs.Peters agreed.A few months later she heard from the shop that a man was coming to tune the piano at ten that morning.Now she had not cleaned the house yet , so it was dusty and untidy.Mrs.Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt , and felt ashamed whenever strange people saw her house like that.So she had to hurry to clean everything carefully.It meant a lot of effort , and it made her hot and tired , but anyhow , by the time the man arrived,every was finished.She opened the door , and the man was standing there with a big dog.“Good morning ,”the man said politely , “Will it disturb you if I bring my dog in , please? I' m blind , and he leads me wherever I go.48.Mrs.Peters was soon able to buy a piano because .A.her parents gave her all the money for itB.she saved enough money for itC.her husband gave her the moneyD.she saved some money and her relatives gave her the rest49.One morning, .A.a man was coming to repair her pianoB.Mrs.Peters received a telephone call from the shopC.the piano was sent to her house at 10 0' clockD.Mrs.Peters was going to clean the house50.“It meant a lot of effort and it made her hot and tired”.Here “it”refers to .A.hating dirtB.cleaning everythingC.waiting for the manD.feeling ashamed of the dirty and untidy house51.Mrs.Peters had wasted her time getting everything clean as .A.the dog would dirty the houseB.the piano tuner could see nothing in the houseC.the dog disturbed Mrs.PetersD.the piano tuner always took the dogPassage FiveIt seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains.But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain.Its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it , hut the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese , as early as the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt andBabylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour and authority.In the Far! East in ancient times the umbrella was allowed to he used only by royalty or by those in high office.In Europe , the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece.But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages , the use of the umbrella practically disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century.And again it was considereda symbol of power and authority.By 1680 , the umbrella appeared in France , and later on in England.By the eighteenth century， the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time , though they have become much lighter in weight.It wasn’t until the twentieth century women ' s umbrellas began to he made , in a whole variety of colours.52.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the umbrella?A.No one exactly knows who was the inventor of the umbrella.B.The umbrella was first invented to he used as protection against the sun.C.The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth century.D.In Europe the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.53.A strange feature of the umbrella' s use is that it was used as .A.protection against rainB.a shade against the sunC.a symbol of honour and powerD.a way of women' s decoration54.In Europe ,the umbrella was first used against the rain .A.in ChinaB.in ancient EgyptC.in RomeD.in Greece55.This passage talks mainly about .A.how the umbre11a was inventedB.why the umbrella was so popular in EuropeC.the development of the umbrellaD.who needed umbrella firstV.Daily ConversationDirections : Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.Yes, he doesB.Would 9 :30 be convenientC.Can 1 help youD.this is my name cardE.out on business todayF.It won' t be longG.make an appointment to see him sometime next weekH.How long will it beA: Good morning! 56 ?B: Yes , may 1 see your production manager , Mr.Smith ,please?A:I am sorry Mr.Smith is 57 .B: Well ,I' d like to 58 .A: Let me check Mr.Smith' s diary.Just a moment.Yes, Mr.Smith doesn’t seem to be busy onTuesday morning and Friday afternoon.B: Could 1 make an appointment for Tuesday morning?A: 59 ?B: Yes , that’ll be fine.A:I’ll make note of that.May I have your na me , please?B:Yes, 60 .You can contact me any day.A: OK.B: Thank you very much!

普通高校专升本外语模拟题2020年(19)_真题-无答案
普通高校专升本外语模拟题2020年(19)(总分98,考试时间120分钟)Reading Comprehension一、阅读理解The idea behind "the rule of law" is that it is laws based on logical reasons and clear thinking that should govern social life. "We live under a rule of law, not of men. " American teachers tell their students. The students accept the idea. They believe that "no man is above the law" , and that laws apply equally to all people no matter how wealthy they are, what their personal connections are, or what their stations in life are. Their faith in the rule of law explains the belief many Americans held, and many foreigners could not understand, that President Richard Nixon should be removed from office as a result of his behaviour in connection with what was called " Watergate Scandal (水门事件)". Nixon had broken the law and therefore should be punished, Americans believed, even if he was the President.The belief in the rule of law goes beyond the area of politics to other areas of life that are governed by formal rules and procedures. To get a job with government institutions, for example, or to get government funding for a research project, one must follow published procedures and show that one meets the published requirements. Personal connections are not supposed to matter under the rule of law.This is not to say that personal contacts, wealth, and social influence do not matter in situations where laws and rules are to be obeyed. They may. What is said above describes the ideal with which Americans agree. In reality, connections can sometimes help a person get a government job. Rich people can sometimes go unpunished for illegal behaviour that poor people would be likely to be punished for. But in general the rule of law prevails, and Americans are proud that it does.1. 1.The word " stations" (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to______.A. stagesB. situationsC. successesD. social positions2. 2.The writer mentions President Richard Nixon in the first paragraph in order to show that ______.A. no man is above the lawB. the president should make sure of the rule of lawC. the rule of law is important in politicsD. American people have the right to remove the president3. 3.It can be learned from the last paragraph that in the United States the rule of law______.A. is not carried out as fully as it should beB. makes poor people also likely to be successfulC. is, in reality, almost unlikely to realizeD. makes sure that everyone is punished for his wrongdoing4. 4.The pronoun "They" in the last paragraph refers to all of the following EXCEPT______.A. personal connectionsB. laws and rulesC. social influenceD. wealth5. 5.The main idea of the last paragraph is______.A. Americans are idealistic(理想主义的) about lawsB. rich people can sometimes go unpunished for illegal behaviourC. the American employment system is unfairD. laws are more important than personal connections or influence in most cases in the U. S.To be a good manager, you must be careful to distinctly define the proper boundary between yourself and your staff. Here are some points to remember:Be clear about the relationship. To maintain the respect for your employees while being friends with them, you must be direct about the nature of your business relationship. This means being clear about what the goals are, how your employees are to help you reach them, and what they can expect from you. By communicating these things clearly, you avoid the risk that an employee can misinterpret your friendship and behave in an unprofessional manner.Be social—to a degree. In most offices, there' s usually a lot of social networking, whether it' s a Friday lunch or drinks after work. It' s natural for managers to be a part of that. Just remember to socialize with everyone, be careful with alcohol, and don't be the last one at the party. Also, keep socializing at the office to a minimum. You want to ensure that you are respected as well as liked.Don' t fake it. Maybe you want to try to be friends with all your employees, because you think that would strengthen your team. While some management training courses stress that bosses should ask their staff about their personal lives, such as their weekend plans, their families, or their children, such efforts can backfire if the manager is viewed as not sincere. It' s okay to ask occasional questions of staff, but don' t make a big production out of it. Getting to know people takes time.6. 6.To prevent employees from behaving unprofessionally, managers should______.A. show respect for their employees' individual needsB. let them know about their future career developmentC. set short-term and long-term goals for their businessD. make them clear about the nature of the business relationship7. 7.According to Paragraph 3 , managers are advised______.A. to create a friendly work environment for their staffB. to keep socializing with the employees to a degreeC. to avoid socializing with their employees after workD. to be the first person to a party or to a gathering8. 8.Some managers believe they can strengthen their teams by______.A. making friends with all their employeesB. attending a management training courseC. providing free Friday lunch to the staffD. encouraging their staff to exercise regularly9. 9.The word "backfire" in the last paragraph most probably means "_____".A. strengthen the relationshipB. start a fire in the backyardC. produce an undesired resultD. improve management skills10. 10.The passage is mainly about the importance of______.A. management training courses for employersB. the proper relationship between managers and staffC. setting business goals for both managers and staffD. being a part of social networking for a good manager二、阅读理解Where did you go yesterday? Did you hear music at any of these places? Today most stores and restaurants play music. You might even hear music in an office【B1】______on a farm.Scientists believe that music influences the way people【B2】______According to some scientists, the sound of western classical music makes people【B3】______richer.

2020届武汉市第十九高级中学高三英语模拟试卷及参考答案
2020届武汉市第十九高级中学高三英语模拟试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThere have been many great painters in the rich history of Chinese art. Here are four of the greatest painters from China.Li Cheng (919—967, Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty)Li Cheng contributed greatly to one of the golden ages of landscape paintings in world history. During his time, he was considered the best landscape painter ever. He is remembered especially for the winter landscapes he created and for simple compositions of tall, old evergreens set against a dry landscape. Several of his paintings are in thin ink which gives them a foggy appearance.Fan Kuan (990—1020 , Song Dynasty)Fan Kuan began his career by modeling Li Cheng's work but later created his own style, claiming that the only true teacher was nature. His finest workTravelers among Mountains and Streamsis a masterpiece of landscape painting and many future artists turned to it for inspiration.Qi Baishi (1864-1957)One of the greatest contemporary Chinese painters, Qi Baishi is known for not being influenced by Western styles like most painters of his time. He can be considered as the last great traditional painter of China. He painted almost everything from insects to landscapes. He is regarded highly in Chinese art for the freshness that he brought to the familiar types of birds and flowers, insects and grass.Wu Guanzhong (1919—2010)Widely considered as the founder of modern Chinese painting , Wu Guanzhong has painted various aspects of China, like its architecture, plants, animals, people and landscapes. Wu went on to combine Western and Chinese styles to create a unique form of modem art.

In American football, a tackle (抢断球) refers to an attempt to stop an opponent by forcing them to the ground.The number of participants in football grew in 2015 while most other sport, except baseball, posted a decline, USA Football said on Monday, citing(引用) the findings of a survey of 30,000 children and teenagers.Participation in flag football (a no-tackle type of football) increased by 8.7 percent among children aged 6 to 14, while tackle football rose by 1.9 percent. For that age group, the only other sport that grew was baseball, with a 3. 3 percent increase.In the 15-to-18 age group, flag football rose by 10. 5 percent, while tackle grew by 2.5 percent.Basketball was the third, with a 1. 1 percent increase. Participation in all other sports declined.Tom Farrey, executive director of the Aspen Institute's Sports & Society Program, said he was surprised that flag football participation rose so much.“The trend suggests that parents aremarching to the beat of a different drummer, in pursuing flagas an alternative for their kids," he said.The findings come at a time of increasing concern about the risk associated with youth sports, particularly hockey (曲棍球) and football, where medical researchers have warned about the risk of concussions (damagestothe brain caused by violent blows to the head) and death linked to brain injury.USA Football, anIndianapolis,Indianabased nonprofit funded in part by the National Football League, believed that the increases resulted from better safety and health education."Football participation increases, even modest increases, may signal that programs such as our Heads Up Football program and practice guidelines are making a positive difference," said Scot Hallenbeck, USA Football chief executive, in a statement.Robert Cantu, aBostonUniversityneurosurgery professor and investigator at the school's chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Center said the increase in fag football participation signaled that more parents were directing children to a safe alternative4. What can we learn about the two age groups?A. Flag football grew the fastest in the 6-to-18 group.B. Tackle football grew he fastest in the 6-to-14 group.C. Participation in baseball declined the most in both groupsD. Participation in tackle football increased the most in both groups.5.

There are different types of football to choose from.CJapan has announced emergency Covid measures in Tokyo and three other areas in order to control rising infections (传染病), just three months before the country is set to host the Olympics. The government said the state of emergency — set to last for about two weeks— would be “short and powerful”. Under the measures, bars will be required to close and big sporting events will be held without audience. The government has insisted that the Olympics will go ahead in July.Prime minister Yoshihide Suga announced the measures on Friday, saying they would begin on Sunday and remain in place until 11 May. In addition to to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo will be affected. It has marked the third state of emergency in japan since the pandemic began. “I sincerely apologize for causing trouble for many people again,” he said. “It is feared that infection in major cities will spread across the whole country if we take no measures.”Under the rules, major facilities like department stores will close, as well as restaurants, bars, and KTV rooms serving alcohol. Restaurants that do not serve alcohol are being told to close early, and companies are being asked to make arrangements for people to work remotely. Schools will remain open. Besides, the emergency measurescoincide withthe country’s “Golden Week” holiday, which runs from late April to the first week of May and is the busiest travel period of the year. Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike urged residents to start taking precautions immediately. In an effort to discourage people from going out at night. She said neon signs (霓虹灯) would be turned off.The coronavirus toll in Japan has been much lower than that in many other countries, with about 558,000 cases and fewer than 10,000 deaths, according to figures collected by Johns Hopkins University. But there are concerns over the latest rise in infections, with reports of hospital bed shortages in some areas.Tokyo 2020 president Seiko Hashimoto said at a news conference on Friday that organizers were not considering canceling the event. “I hope the coronavirus situation improves with the prevention measures the government, Tokyo, and other regional governments have put into place,” she said. “We, as Tokyo 2020, continue to wish for the swift return to normal and will continue to work closely to make sure a safe and secure Olympics can happen.”8.

What does the underlined phrase “coincide with” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. meet withB. deal withC. make upD. set upDTofight for the conservation of forest ecosystem, several ecologists including Daniel Janzen convinced Del Oro, an orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park. In return, Del Oro was allowed to throw large amounts of waste in the form of orangepeels(皮) on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park at no cost. Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.But a year later, another juice company challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was "polluting a national park". They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through.Then in 2013, while discussing possible research avenues（途径，手段）with Timothy Treuer, Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange story. Feeling interested, Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him."While I would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby fields, I'd have to climb through undergrowth and cut paths through walls ofvines(藤) in the orange peel site itself," said Timothy Treuer.Treuer and his team spent months picking upsamples(样品), analyzing and comparing them. They found great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not. The area withorange waste had richer soil.The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar withcomposting(施肥), but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange "mined" a national parkand stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuer's study has received worldwide attention, this type of "ruining" is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.12. What did Del Oro usually do with orange peels?A. Add them to fuel.B. Feed them to animals.C. Burn or bury them.D. Make them into cakes.13. What can we know about the deal between Del Oro and the national park?A. It lasted 15 years.B. It was signed by Treuer.C. It was made in about 1998.D. It was broken by Del Oro.14. What was Treuer's finding?A. Orange peels contain much fibre.B. Orange peels can make soil richer.C. Orange peels rot away in a short time.D. Orange waste ruined the national park.15. What is the author's attitude toward the judge mentioned in the last paragraph?A. Disapproving.B. Positive.C. Worried.D. Admirable.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。

2020年长春市十九中学高三英语模拟试卷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AMy wife Hilary andI were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we saw a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!" An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. Thebear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.I held my camera tripod(三脚架)in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew 1 would not be able to hold it for long.Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back towards-the forest,before returning for another attack the first time I felt panic.Obviously satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I'm proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.1. How did the writer feel when faced with the brown bear?A. Fearful but confident.B. Nervous but brave.C. Upset but determined.D. Awful but hopeful.2. The bear finally went away after itA. got injuredB. felt safeC. found some foodD. took away the camera3. What does the author want to tell us?A. We should keep calm when troubles comeB. We should rise to the challenge when faced with difficulties.C. We should not risk ourselves in some dangerous areas.D. We should learn to take advantage of anything at hand when in trouble.BI waschecking out at the supermarket counter on Wednesday night, ready to pay for my bananas, when all ofa sudden, fear came upon me. My wallet was gone. And I could only have left it one place: the G9 bus, from which I had gotten off minutes earlier and which was now speeding to some stops. The moment of realizing it was gone was followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the credit cards, the driver's license, the expensive lipstick ($ 55!).Two hours after I was back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband answered while I sat in the dining room on the phone with a credit card company. "Does Jennifer live here?" I heard someone say. In her hand was my wallet, without a penny missing. She left before I could offer my gratitude to her.After I posted the story, I heard from her boyfriend, who identified the good citizen as Erin Ball, a 26-year-old girl working for a trade organization.Once I figured out her, I called to thank her. She said she spotted my wallet and thought that it's more dangerous to go to a stranger's house than leaving the wallet with the driver, but she still decided to take the chance. "If I were in that situation, I would want someone to try to find me," she said. Ball doesn't find her actions particularly excellent. She added, "It's not hard to do small things for people."After Ball found my wallet, she decided to post a picture of my driver's license online before going to my house, trying to see if anyone knew me. No sooner had she left my doorstep than I got emails from two neighbors who recognized my face, both offering to help me find my missing property.Ball found my house on a bitterly cold night,for which I was extremely grateful. Looking back, I'm not surprised someone had wanted to help a stranger. A warm current of honesty and harmony is running through this town.4. What do we know about the author according to paragraph 1?A. She missed the G9 bus.B. She paid for her bananas.C. She replaced the credit cards.D. She found she had left her wallet on the bus.5. Who helped the author find Ball?A. The G9 driver.B. The girl's boyfriend.C. The author's neighbors.D. The author's husband.6. What did Ball do first after finding the wallet?A.

Which of the following best describes Erin Ball?A. Humorous and kind.B. Generous and demanding.C. Honest and warm-hearted.D. Caring and outgoing.CIt was once a shoreline buried by enough garbage to make it invisible (看不见的), thus, given the unfortunate nickname "toilet bowl" . Now the Philippines' Manila Bay beach is totally different, compared with a few months ago. It happened so suddenly and extremely that it brought tears to the eyes of the local people.The cleanup started on 27 January, when 5, 000 volunteers descended on Manila Bay to remove over 45 tons (公吨) of garbage, marking the beginning of a nation-wide environmental campaign. But some two months before this great movement began, a quiet revolution was already underway.During the first week of December 2018, Brooklyn- based Bounties Network collectedthree tons of garbage from Manila Bay aver two days through a project that paid a small group of people, mostly fishermen, with a digital currency (数字货币) based on the Ethereum system.For the mostly non-bank -using Filipino fishermen, this was a first-ever experience with a digital currency. It's one that proves decisive in enabling poor communities around the world to take up arms in the fight againsthumanity's waste.There are signs that this recycling-for-digital payment industry may be just about to take off. Earlier in September 2018, Plastic Bank, a Vancouver -based company powered by IBM technology, also started a similar project. They set up a project in Naga, a town in southern Luzon, the country's largest island, building a collection point to let people exchange plastic and recyclable materials for digital payouts through a system.That both these pioneers have chosen the Philippines as their first location is not surprising considering the country's contribution to ocean waste. A Wall Street Journal study in 2015 revealed that the Philippines make the third-largest amount of plastic waste into global oceans.8. Why did people call Manila Bay beach“toilet bowl” ?A. It looked like a huge bowl.B. There were plenty of toilets.C. It was covered by rubbish.D. People loved the toilets here.9. What does the underlined phrase“descended on”in paragraph 2 mean?A.

Online system helps endocean pollution.B. Manila Bay beach is suddenly removed.C. Plastic Bank is powerful in recycling waste.D. Philippines make a great amount of waste.DAs every mobile-phone owner knows, after a year or so the battery starts to fade and the beast needs recharging more frequently.That is troublesome, but a phone’s batteries can be replaced fairly cheaply — or the whole device traded in for the latest model. An electric car, though, is a much bigger investment. And batteries are its priciest component, representing around 30% of an average mid-size vehicle.To provide buyers with some peace of mind, carmakers guarantee their batteries, typically for eight years or around 200,000km. Producers, planning to go much further than that, though, are racing to launch “million mile”(1.6m kilometers) batteries. Contemporary Amperex Technology, a giant Chinese firm which produces batteries fora number of carmakers, was said to be ready to start producing batteries which would last for 16 years or 2m kilometres. Elon Musk has suggested that Tesla,a Californian maker of electric vehicles, has a million-mile battery in the works. And over in Detroit,General Motors is in the final stages of developing an advanced battery which it says has similar longevity (寿命)。
