Unique perspectives．BWhen I was five or six years old，I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world．I would say to myself，"When I grow up，when I can get rich，I will save kids all over the world．"At 17，I started my career here in America，and by the age of 18，I started my first charity organization．I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years，and met，helped，and even lost some of the most beautiful souls，tern six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia （白血病），whose story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors，to 2012 when grandmother lost her battle with cancer，which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation（CLF）．We're all human．And we all just want a chance：a chance at life，a chance in education，a chance at a future，really．And at CLF，our mission is to impact as many lives as possible，but it starts with just one．People make it seem too hard to do charity work．The truth is，you don't have to be rich to help others．You don't need to be famous．You don't even have to be college-educated．But it starts with your neighbor，the person right next to you，the person sitting next to you in class，the kid down the block in your neighborhood．You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can．And today，I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person，one organization，one situation that touches your heart．My grandmother always used to say，"If you've got a dollar，there's plenty to share．"4.What did the author want to do at a young age？______A. Watch TV．B. Grow up quickly．C. Become wealthy．D. Help other children．5.What directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF？______A. A six-year-old kid's request．B. Her grandmother's death of cancer．C. Many volunteers' inspiration．D. Other organizations' encouragement．6.What does the underlined word "one" in Paragraph 2 refer to？______A. A chance．B. A task．C. A life．D. An organization．7.What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph？______A. Do little things to help those aroundthem．B. Work hard to geta college education．C. Challenge their friends to offer help．D. Do charity work whatever you are．CAlongside air and water，food is a necessity for human beings to survive and thrive．But it's a lot more than that．As Mariette Dichristina of Scientific American wrote："The most intimate （亲密的）relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being．Instead，it is between our bodies and our food．"Nowadays，for most people in the worlds wealthiest countries，food is a hobby，an enthusiasm，and even something fashionable．Turn on the TV in the US，UK or France，and you'll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession．And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a " foodie"．It's almostimpossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen．But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging （夸耀），many of us forget how much we take food for granted．This is why World Food Day is held each year．Take Kenya for example．This east African nation has been suffering terrible droughts．The result is that people are beginning to starve．Children in particular are suffering，with some of them even dying．This may seem shocking to know，especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way．But even in the UK，families on low incomes are forced to use food banks-European organizations that hand out donated food to those who can't afford to pay for it themselves．So what can we do on World Food Day？One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have．After all，food is essential for survival，but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time．8.According to Mariette Dichristina，what has the closest relationship with us？______A. Air．B. Water．C. Food．D. Human beings．9.What does the underlined word "foodie" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？______A. Delicious food．B. A person fond of food．C. A social media app．D. A photo of delicious meals．10.Who can get help from food banks？______A. Poor people in the UK．B. Poor people in Africa．G．Starving children in Kenya．D．People in thedrought-stricken．11.What's the best title for the text？______A. Treat Food as a HobbyB. Time to Appreciate FoodC. Food Shortage in Some CountriesD. How to Spend World Food DayDTraditionally，robots have been hard，made of metal and other rigid material：But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration from an octopus （章鱼）．Described in science journal Nature，the "Octobot" could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search，rescue and exploration．"The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft，autonomous robots" the study's authors wrote．Robots built for precise，repetitive movements in a controlled environment don't do so well on rough terrains （地形）or in unpredictable conditions．And they aren't especially safe around humans，because they're made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users．So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades．They're taken inspiration from nature，looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches，which are often made up of more flexible matter．But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge．Even if engineers build a silicone （硅酮）body，it's still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts，such as a source of power．"Although soft robotics is still in its early stage，it holds great promise for several applications，such as search-rescue operations and exploration，" Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology' Center for Micro-BioRobotics，wrote in a comment．"Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life．"12.What's the special feature of "Octobot"？______A. It's soft．B. It's made of metal．C. It's very small．D. It looks like an octopus．13.What's the disadvantage of traditional robots？______A. They're hard to control．B. They're too heavy to move．C. They can't predict conditions．D. They can't behave well all the time．14.One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot's ______ ．A. silicone bodyB. complex componentsC. precise movementsD. flexible power source15.What's the possible application of "Octobot"？______A. Medical research．B. Life rescue．C. Machine operation．D. House cleaning．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Why Stand in Line on Black Friday？Standing in line is a pain．At the post office．At the box office．At a restaurant．(1) The first spot outside some Best Buy stores is usually claimed （认领）weeks in advance，often by a person in a tent．Shoppers at Walmart will print out maps of the store，with circles around their primary targets．(2) ．"These queues are quite different than the usual annoying ones we come across day to day at the ATM or in the subway，" said Richard Larson，a professor at MIT who has spent years studying line behavior．"Once a year，" he said，"the lines are exciting．They're the kind you might tell your grandchildren about．" (3) Billie LeClere，45，was first in line on Thursday at Walmart in Manchester，Iowa．She said she was a regular Black Friday shopper．But this year，she came with a specific purpose：to get a good deal on a new TV．She and her husband had recently separated，and he had taken the old TV earlier that day．"The marriage died，not the TV，" she said．(4) "It's going to be nice to have something that's newer-and it's mine，not his．"(5) The following are two of the typical results．The "gotta have it" atmosphere makes people more anxious．Sometimes the behaviour of the queue turns violent．Therefore，lines test patience，personal space especially on Black Friday，when the crowds can be overwhelming （势不可挡的）．A．Shoppers are excited to buy gifts．B．But on Black Friday，it's an experience．C．Moreover，the crowds are queuing for good deals．D．Many families are queuing to chat with each other．E．The experience gave her a sense of accomplishment．F．They are trying to turn the experience into an adventure．G．The behaviour of people in lines has inspired decades of research．16.

2020年河南省新乡市第一中学高三英语第二次联考试题及参考答案
2020年河南省新乡市第一中学高三英语第二次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1.

People originally thought the dog had been abandoned, but then realized that he looked healthy, so people asked around about him. It turned out that the dog had indeed been spending most of his time around that crossroad, but a woman had been coming round regularly to bring him food and water.One day, while photographing the dog everyone called Leo, a reporter met the woman who had been taking care of him. She had come to drop off some food. After learning the story about the dog and the woman, the reporter decided to share the story on social media. The post soonwent viraland the photos of Leo got shared hundreds of times. And the photos reached the eyes of Leo’s former old owner.Nang Noi Sittisarn, a 64-year-old woman fromThailand’sRoiEtProvince, almost had a heart attack when her daughter showed her a photo of the beloved dog named BonBon she had lost during a car trip. When she learned that he had been waiting for her in the same spot for the last four years，her heart melted(融化).Auntie Noi told her daughter to drive her to where the dog was waiting. When she got there and called his name. BonBon，the poor dog started wiggling(扭动)his tailand came to her，but when she tried to take him home with her, he was unwilling to follow. She didn’ t want to force the dog to come with her so she agreed to leave him with his new master. However, she and her daughter will come to visit him regularly.4.Why did the dog look healthy after separation from his former owner?A. He walked around the crossroad constantly.B.

We need to learn to be faithful and thankful.D. No one knows the result until the last minuteCIf you ever get the impression that your dog can "tell" whether you look delighted or annoyed, you may be onto something. Dogs may indeed be able to distinguish between happy and angry human faces, according to a new studyResearchers trained a group of 11 dogs to distinguish between images(图像)of the same person making either a happy or an angry face. During the training stage, each dog was shown only the upper half or the lower half of the person's face. The researchers then tested the dogs' ability to distinguish between human facial expressions by showing them the other half of the person's face on images totally different from the ones used in training. The researchers found that the dogs were able to pick the angry or happy face by touching a picture of it with their noses more often than one would expect by random chance.The study showed the animals had figured out how to apply what they learned about human faces during training to new faces in the testing stage. "We can rule out that the dogs simply distinguish between the pictures based on a simple cue, such as the sight of teeth," said study author Corsin Muller. "Instead, our results suggest that the successful dogs realized that a smiling mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes, and the same rule applies to an angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes.""With our study, we think we can now confidently conclude that at least some dogs can distinguish human facial expressions," Muller toldLive Science.At this point, it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the ability to recognize different facial expressions in humans. "To us, the most likely explanation appears to be that the basis lies in their living with humans, which gives them a lot of exposure to human facial expressions and this exposure has provided them with many chances to learn to distinguish between them." Muller said.8. The new study focused on whether dogs can_________.A. distinguish shapesB. make sense of human facesC. feel happy or angryD. communicate with each other9. What can we learn about the study from paragraph 2?A. Researchers tested the dogs in random order.B. Diverse methods were adopted during training.C. Pictures used in the two stages were differentD. The dogs were photographed before the lest.10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. A suggestion for future studies.B. A possible reason for the study findings.C. A major limitation of the studyD. An explanation of the research method.11. In which section is the text most likely to be found in a newspaper ?A. EntertainmentB. EconomyC. ScienceD. NatureDSlowing down was the last thing on Elaine Schaefer's mind when she turned 70 last year. She'd enjoyed an ambitious travel schedule for the previous decade. She didn't feel too old to travel.Yet many people are asking that slightly embarrassing question: Can you be too old to travel? The travel industry has already responded. Try renting a car inEurope, for example. InCroatia, Schaefer wouldn't be able to this year, because the maximum age is 70. Insurance companies require higher rates; tour operators limit certain activities. That feels like a " no" for many travelers.Definitely some folks should think twice before traveling, but not only based on their age. It's their level of fitness, says Kirsten Veldman, a former tour guide who now edits a retirement blog. She recalls a 93-year-old who was disabled and traveling alone on aCaribbeantour. "You can't expect to ask a tour leader to be there for you 24/7 for medical care. " she says. "Tour guides don't have the time, skills, and knowledge for it. So, in this case, my advice is: he shouldn't have traveled with us in this situation. "But some tour operators serve older travelers. For example, Grand Circle Travel started in 1958 to serve senior members. “We have travelers into their 80s and even 90s. Some travel as a couple and some alone,” says company spokeswoman Ann Shannon. “We have no age limit.”If you ask travel experts, they'll tell you that age is just a number. It's a question of physical, and to a certain extent, mental ability. "Many of our travelers are retired, focused on keeping their good health, and are experienced travelers who have a good idea of what to expect, "says Sara Baer-Sinnott, president of Oldways, a food and nutrition nonprofit that operates tours. "Someone in their 40's may struggle more than someone in their 80s. "12. What is expected if Schaefer travels inCroatiathis year?A. She can rent a car to go around.B. She has to pay more insurance fees.C. She can join in all kinds of activities.D. She will receive 24/7 medical care.13. What caused Veldman to disapprove of the 93-year-old's traveling?A. His old age.B. His lack of money.C. His poor health.D. His in sociable personality.14. What do we know about Grand Circle Travel?A. It is a non-profit traveling organization.B. It offers service to a wide range of travelers.C. It has a history of more than seven decades.D. Its main customers are senior travelers.15. What is the authors altitude towards traveling old?A. Opposed.B. Supportive.C. Tolerant.D. Objective.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届新乡市第一中学高三英语第二次联考试卷及答案
2020届新乡市第一中学高三英语第二次联考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AThere are different types of money-saving apps, such as JD Finance, Yu’E Bao, Ant Financial, and all of them work in different ways. Here are 3 of the best apps that can help you save much money.Capital One ShoppingCapital One Shopping can compare prices automatically as you shop online. As you add items to your cart at an online seller, this app will search the web for better deals and coupon codes(优惠码). You can follow the links to other sellers offering a better price and use the available codes tosave.

It also helps you get compensated (补偿) for late deliveries and makes sure you don’t leave it too late to return anything you bought.DigitIf you can’t figure out how much you can afford to save, Digit will analyze your spending habits and spare a certain amount to your savings. If the appknows you have spare money to save, then it will be moved automatically, and if you don’t, it will stop, so there’s no risk of being left with no cash for the basics. You can sign up for a free trial for a month, and after that, the monthly service charge is $5.1. If you want your money back, what app will you choose?A. Digit.B. Paribus.C. Yu’E Bao.D. Capital One Shopping.2. What can you do by using Digit?A. Offer the most favorable price.B. Track detailed information of goods.C. Analyze spending habits to save money.D. Compare prices of products while shopping.3. What is the purpose of the text?A. To introduce useful apps for saving money.B. To advertise various products online.C. To improve the power of spending.D. To help to manage spare money.BLife in the Internet age is lonely—or is it? That’s what experts in human interaction are debating after a new Stanford University survey has been published.According to the study, the more time people spend online, the less they can spare for real-life relationships with family and friends. The researchers asked 113 people about the Web’s influence on daily activities. 36％of those people are online for more than five hours a week.” As Internet use becomes more widespread, it will have an increasingly isolating (孤立的) effect on society,” says Robert Kraut, one of the researchers.Scholars and Web lovers criticized the study for stretching its data to make the “isolating” point. While 13％of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones, 60％reported watching less TV. The survey also shows that E-mail is the most popular online activity. If some of webheads (网虫)spend what was once passive TV time keeping company with friends via E-mails, “that’s a move toward greater connectedness,” says Paul Resnick, a professor at the University of Michigan.Thisisn’t the first claim that the Web should be criticized. A 1998 report monitored 73 Pittsburgh-area families’ Net use for a year. People who used the Internet more “talked less to family members and reported being lonelier and more depressed.” says Robert Kraut.“It’s true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades, but those declines began before the Internet was invented,” says Thomas Putnam.As Amitay Etzioni says, the Internet gives us a different kind of social life—not better or worse than before, but just different.4. Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?A. Paul Resnick.B. Robert Kraut.C. Thomas Putnam.D. Amitay Etzioni.5. The underlined word “This” in Para.4 refers to .A. the opinion expressed in Bowling AloneB. the survey made by the University of MichiganC. the conclusion in a report written in 1998D. the study conducted by Stanford University6. From the passage we learn that .A. watching TV used to take time away from staying onlineB. the Web was blamed more than once for causing an isolating effectC. 36％ofweb users spend more than five hours a week onlineD. the Web has the same influence as telephones and televisions7. The passage mainly discusses .A. how we can make a better use of the InternetB. how declines in social connectedness appearC. whether the Internet causes an isolating effectD. what a different life the Internet brings to usCSophie became friends with the gray squirrels during her first week atPennState, after spotting them running around and wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.Sophie tried bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internetsensation.Growing up in a neighborhood outside ofState College, Sophie was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn't interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice, because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said, “I am a lot more outgoing.”And in case you're wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they'll grab it. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.This year, Sophie is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writerand educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Sophie plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.8. What does the underlined word “sensation” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Event.B. Hit.C. Service.D. Addiction.9. What can we learn about Sophie according to paragraph 3?A. She got lots of friends due to squirrels.B. She used to be a popular girl in her childhood.C. She lived in the far countryside when young.D. She was more outgoing than before.10. How did Mary manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats?A. By attracting them with food.B. By putting them in cages.C. By playing music to them.D. By dressing like squirrels.11. What do you think of Sophie?A. Tolerant and capable.B. Sociable and aggressive.C. Patient and caring.D. Indifferent and appreciative.DOn March 18, 34-year-old Lance Karlson was walking on the beach and looking for somewhere toswim in Geographe Bay when he saw what he thought was a stingray (黄貂鱼) leap from the water.Realizing the creature was, in fact, an octopus (章鱼), he started filming it — just in time for the angry octopus to launch itself at him. He immediately felt a sharp pain across his left arm, followed by a second strike across his neck and upper back. His goggles (护目镜) fogged and the water around him turned dark with what he thought might have been octopus ink as he struggled back toward the shore."I was confused — it was more of a shock than a fright," said Karlson, "I might have hit on its home." Within a minute, a perfect imprint of an octopus tentacle (触手) appeared on Karlson's neck and back.A former volunteer lifeguard, Karlson rushed back to his hotelroom to find something acidic to put on the wound. All his family could grab was Coca-Cola, which his wife poured over his back and the pain disappeared."The pain went away and more than anything since then, it's been more the physical hit that was painful.... The imprint on my neck is more from the physical hit, and I guess it makes complete sense when you look at the video I took," he said.Karlson said he'd never seen an octopus that close before and watched Netflix documentary "My Octopus Teacher" after the incident to learn more about the species."They are beautiful creatures and I really hope this promotes more interest in octopuses as opposed to fear of them. I think this is a fascinating creature with clearly some very strong emotions just like we do as humans," he added.12. When did the octopus attack Karlson?A. When he was swimming in the bay.B. When he was shooting the octopus.C. When he was looking for some fish.D. When he was fighting against the octopus.13. What plays an essential role in reducing Karlson's pain?A. The lifeguard's timely help.B. Karson's wife's quick action.C. The family members' efforts.D. Karlson’s knowledge of first aid.14. What does Karlson learn from his experience?A. The octopus is dangerous.B. People should get away from the octopus.C. People need know more about the octopus.D. The physical hit from the octopus is painful.15. Which of the following might be the best title?A. Pain from Strong AttackB. First Aid for Octopus' StrikeC. Face to Face with Angry OctopusD. Under Sea with Dangerous Creature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。

All of my hard work paid off. My mom had spent a lot on my attending a private high school, so I made sure to push myself: I volunteered, took part in various clubs, and graduated with honors. I was so excited to start a new part of my life.Soon enough, the big day came, but it wasn't like what I had thought. The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life. Every night I would cry myself to sleep. I was missing my family, my home and everything in my hometown so much and I didn’t know how to deal with my broken heart.To distract myself, I threw myself into my studies. I also found a ton of jobs. In any free time, I started forcing myself to go to the gym. I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn’t think about how lonely I felt.

When the doctor told me I had no choice but to take time away from school, I started to fear. How could I stop? School was what I was best at. “I’m not so bad,” I thought in my head.

I had to take a semester off from school, and go to the treatment center near my home.If there are girls who are suffering similarly, I hope you know that there is hope and that you should have a positive attitude towards life.

ButMilannow wants to change it.The city has an ambitious plan to plant 3 million new trees by 2030 - a move that experts say could offer relief from the city's hot weather. Some projects have already contributed to environmental improvements. Architect Stefano Boeri’s Vertical Forest residential (居民的) tower, completed in 2014, aims to improve not only air quality but the quality of life for Milan residents. Boeri created a smallisland of greenery in the heart ofMilan, filling every balcony with plants that absorb carbon dioxide.“I think forestation is one of the best chances that we have today. It is one of the most effective ways we have to fight climate change, because everyone can plant trees, Boeri said.Damiano Di Simine, a member of the environmental group Legambiente , said the greenMilanproject will lower temperatures in a city where the nighttime temperature can be 6 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area. City show thatMilanexperiences 35 hot nights a year. Because the city lies close to theAlps, Milin gets very little wind to lower the city's temperatures. "Planting trees will help this," Di said.TheVerticalForesthas attracted more than 20 species of birds. And the shade provided by the 800 trees and 15,000 plants means that residents rarely have to put on air conditioning, even in hot summers. TheVerticalForest's total greenery- can absorb 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. The presence of green trees has a very important effect on people's health and psychological state, as has already been proved.8. What change doesMilanplan to make?A. Planting more trees.B. Creating a new fashion style.C. Pulling down more gray stone buildings.D. Doing more surveys to study global wanning.9. What's Boeri's opinion on the city's plan?A. It costs a lot.B. It is unpractical.C. It fails to attract people's attention.D. It is helpful to fight against climate change.10. What is Di Simine's attitude toward the city's plan?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Disappointed.D. Unconcerned.11. What does the last paragraph focus on?A. Specifics of the city's plan.B. Challenges faced by the city.C. The aim of theVerticalForestproject.D. The positive effect of theVerticalForestproject.DWe interviewed two people, one who went from the country to the city and one who did the opposite.Janet Lincoln is a salesgirl who moved to St. Louisfive years ago. Here’s what Janet told us:“Five years ago I used to live in a small town called Lemon Falls. I grew up and went to high school there. After I graduated I worked in a supermarket. Lemon Falls had a population of about 800 people, and I knew every single one of them. They all knew everything about me, too. You couldn’t do anything without everyone in town knowing about it. The first chance I got I moved to St. Louis and I love it. I don’t know as many people now as I used to, but that’s OK. I have a few good friends, and I see them when I want to. I kind of like beinganonymous. I’d never go back to Lemon Falls.”Troy Henson had the opposite experience. He and his wife, Darla, and their two children moved from St. Louis to Bloomfield three years ago. Here’s what Troy told us:“The best thing we ever did was get out of St. Louis. Don’t get me wrong; St. Louis is as good a place as any other city, I suppose — if you like cities, that is. We don’t. Both Darla and I grew up in St. Louis. We met at college and got married. Then the kids came along and life got difficult. We didn’t know any of our neighbors. We both had good jobs, but it always seemed like there was never enough money. That all changed when we moved to Bloomfield. I don’t make as much money as I used to, but then we don’t have as many expenses as we did. Weknow our neighbors. Life is good. We’d never leave Bloomfield.”12. What troubled Janet when she was in Lemon Falls?A. She had no friends.B. There was no privacy.C. There was a lot of competition.D. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.13. What does the underlined word “anonymous” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Alone.B. Prepared.C. Sociable.D. Unknown.14.

It was Granny. She often took advantage of the discounted long-distance rates on Sundays. She said she’d shipped a New Year package. Sure enough, it arrived. Surprised at the box, largeenough to hold a small refrigerator, we eagerly tore it open. The smell of Granny’s house filled the room: a combination of fried meat, sausages, furniture polish and decorations. Her house was tiny and always filled withtackyholiday decorations and homemade food before New Year. But in my childhood eyes, it was precious and fantastic.There were countless tins and containers.

2020年河南省新乡市第一中学高三英语第二次联考试题及答案
2020年河南省新乡市第一中学高三英语第二次联考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AKate Humble: Books that changed my lifeKate Humble is a writer and broadcaster specializing in science, wildlife and rural affairs. Together with her husband site runs Humble by Nature, a rural skills education centre on working farm near Monmouth intheWyeValley.Winnie the Poohby A A MilneMy father used to read this to me when I was very young — he used different voices for all the animals. The characterization (角色设定) was so clever; we all know someone just like each inhabitant of the HundredAcre Wood: gloomy Eeyore; thick but loyal Pooh; enthusiastic Tigger.A A Milne was masterful in exploring the way they got along together, opening my eyes to how society really works.Last Chance to Seeby Douglas Adams and Mark CarwardineThis book tells of the authors, adventures as they set out to find the rarest of animals, those on the edge of extinction.Their travels are rather exciting and they share a wonderful humour, which really appealed to me. Yet underpinning (支撑) everything is the realization that we can't just sit back and allow species to disappear. PicturePalaceby Paul TherouxI've always loved Theroux's travel writing, but this novel took my breath away. The words aren't long or complicated but, fromthat first paragraph, his writing grabs you by the nose hairs and drags you along. I had an art teacher who told me, “You're only an artist when you've found your own style, not when you're copying someone else, and Theroux represents this.”1. Why did the author mention the characterization ofWinnie the Pooh?A. To indicate the book has realistic values.B. To show how adorable the characters are.C. To persuade people to learn from the characters.D. To prove the writer is good at creating characters.2. What didLast Chance to Seestrike into Kate's heart?A. Curiosity.B. Responsibility.C. Exploration.D. Devotion.3. Which writer does Kate Humble like for his original writing?A. A A Milne.B. Douglas Adams.C. Mark Carwardine.D. Paul Theroux.BThe prevalence of melanoma (黑素瘤) has been rapidly rising around the world for nearly a century. While some of the increase may be due to better detection, researchers also believe it’s because we’re spending more time outdoors in the sun, vacationing to warmer climates during the winter and using tanning beds. That rise is concerning, since melanoma is the most dangerous kind of skin cancer.Most of us know to cover up and apply sunscreen on hot, sunny days, but when fall arrives, we tend to drop those habits. Experts warn that’s a mistake. Though there’s less need for sun protection after summer ends, exposure to UV rays still adds up.What precautions you should take to defend against melanoma during the cooler months depends on where you are in the world. That’s because the further away you are from the equator, the more UV rays weaken in the winter. “In southern England or Canada, the daily dose of UVA on a clear summer day is 6.5 times higher than on a clear winter day,” says Professor Brian Diffey of the British Association of Dermatologists. “People in those countries typically receive only about 5% of their annual UV exposure in the winter months.”But no matter where you are, even during colder, lower risk months, it’s a mistake to put your sun-protection habits on ice. “It’s important to wear sun-screen when there is a lot of glare from the snow,” says Victoria Mar, director of the Victorian Melanoma Service at Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.Finally, you should monitor your moles(痣). “Early detection of melanoma is vital for successful treatment,” says Diffey. If it’s caught before it spreads to other parts of the body, the patient will have 99 % of chance to survive for five years. If it’s caught late, that can drop to 25%. Warning signs are a mole that’s changing size, shape or colour, or one that’s asymmetrical — sometimes referred to as “ugly duckling” moles. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor.4. What’s the main cause of the rise ofmelanoma?A. The climate change.B. Better detection.C. More exposure to the sun.D. The increase ofskin cancer.5.What’s a mistake according to experts?A. Applying sunscreen in summer.B. Wearing sun-screen when there is snow.C. Using sunscreen during lower risk months.D. Dropping sun-protection habits in winter.6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Prevention is better than cure.B. Health is better than wealth.C. A disease known is half cured.D. When the sun comes in, the doctor comes out.7. What is the best title of the text?A. Detect Melanoma.B. Beware Winter Rays.C. Monitor Your Moles.D. Spend Less Time Outdoors.CUntil quarantine (隔离期) ends, we are left picturing what sport we might do: working out at the gym, playing on a competitive sports team, swimming, biking, or rock climbing. However, we don’t often think of martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts aren’t considered a sport, right?Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts aren’t much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape, both physically and mentally. They’re much less boring and much lessarduoussport than they’re usually described as in movies, so do not worry that they need a lot of effort.Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head. Andpracticing it can help you learn to stay more focused, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.Martial arts also improve your coordination (协调性), and greatly improve your posture (姿势). I havepersonally seen students go from slouching (没精打采) to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts. Whichever one you like better, know that all of them are good choices.8. What can we know about martial arts from the first two paragraphs?A. They often have people hurt.B. They are difficult to practice.C. People have a wrong view on it.D. People practice them more often.9. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Interesting.B. Difficult.C. Friendly.D. Exciting.10. What is the biggest benefit of practicing martial arts?A. Adjusting the breath.B. Enjoying one’s free time.C. Correcting the movement.D. Keeping one’s attention.11. What does the writer think of martial arts?A. They are notsports.B. They attracted many teenagers.C. They are beneficial and helpful.D. They were invented to protect others.DNarasimha Das is on his way to feed 169,379 hungry children. Das is in charge of a kitchen in Vrindaban. The town is about a three-hour drive fromIndia’s capital,New Delhi. Das gets to work at 3:00 a.m. Thirty workers are already working to make tens of thousands of rounds of bread. It will be brought to 1,516 schools in and around Vrindaban.A Growing ProblemGoing to school is difficult for more than 13 million children inIndia. They must go to work instead, or go hungry. That’s whyIndiabegan the Mid-Day Meal Scheme, the largest school-lunch program in the world. A free lunch encourages children to come to school and gives them the energy they need for learning. The program began in the 1960s.The kitchen in Vrindaban is run by the Akshaya Patra Foundation. It is one of the lunch program’s biggest partners. “Just $11.50 can feed one child for an entire year,” said Madhu Sridhar, president of the Akshaya Patra Foundation.Lunch Is Served!The Akshaya Patra food truck arrives atGopalgarhPrimary School. Since the program started, the number of underweight children has gone down. The children get foods they need — as long as they finish what’s on their plates.12. What does Narasimha Das do？A.

Even though he is in his twenties now, he still has the mind of a young child.He speaks only a few words. He is lost in his own world most of the time. Things I find silly delight him and little changes that wouldn't bother me at all bother him greatly. He will tear things up and cry for no reason that I can see. He will even hit himself.It always hurts me to see him suffer this way especially when there is little I can do. This morning was particularly trying for him. He tore up a new shirt I'd bought him and cried on and off for an hour. Finally he calmed down again. However, I was still feeling stressed and exhausted. I sat down before my computer to see if I could get a little work done.As I was turning it on, though, I heard my son laugh for the first time all day. I turned my head and saw him standing directly under the glass angel hanging from our ceiling fan. The light from our house lamps seemed to shine all around him like a gold ring. His eyes shone too as the little angel swung gently above his head. He laughed again and smiled at me, saying, "Mom, I love you”.At that moment my heart opened. I could see that the miracle（奇迹）was reminding me that my son was more than his autism. I instead saw the shining soul within. I saw the love and light of his spirit and knew he was here for a purpose.

But research now suggests that the main reason for the students' rising anxiety levels is something else.A psychology professor Jean Twenge said "What a lot of teens told me is that using social media and their phones seems forced. This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face-to-face interactions." Last year, in the journal Pediatrics three researchers wrote that too much social media use might contribute to the development of mental health problems in teenagers, such as loneliness, depressive symptoms and anxiety.Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause student depression or depression causes phone use. Yet 70 percent of teens see anxiety and depression as major problems among their peers, according to a February Pew Research Center report.Schools are starting to take steps to deal with the problem. Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students' social media activity for signs of pain. Some schools have organized some events in which people do not use their electronic devices. Belfast Area High School in Maine had one such event in April. About 20 percent of students and school employees took part, demonstrating the influence that the technology has on their daily life.Emily Mogavero, a 17-year-old student in New York, said "I definitely feel stressed to keep up my information and stuff. It kind of worries me that I'm on my smart phone so long." Mogavero said she sometimes puts her phone out of reach or powers it down so she doesn't hear anything.Some parents are not letting their children get smart phones until they grow up. A teacher, Erin Schifferli, says her 12-year-old daughter, Aeva, won't get a phone until she is 16 years old. Deirdre Birmingham of Montclair signed on a campaign called "Wait Until Eighteen" because she didn't think her video game-loving 10-year-old son was ready for a smart phone.（1）What's the main cause of teenagers' mental problems according to the text?A.Being addicted to social media.B.Being lacking in enough sleep.C.Too much homework.D.Too many activities.（2）What does Mogavero think of using smart phones too much?A.It is necessary.B.It is worrying.C.It is reasonable.D.It is meaningless.（3）How can parents deal with the children's problem?A.Help their children grow up quickly.B.Stop their children using smart phones.C.Pay more attention to children's study.D.Sign on more campaigns to make a difference.（4）What can we learn from the text?A.Over-using phones influences teens' social interactions.B.70 percent of people have anxiety and depression.C.Almost all the students liked the schools' activities.D.The findings of the research are very definite.4.Roughly 8.5 billion plastic straws are used in the United Kingdom each year, but as a new ban takes effect next April, that number will decrease to zero. One startup（初创企业）is hoping to capture the chance to make a kind of straws as an alternative by using an unlikely material: pasta（意大利面食）."It has all the function of a plastic straw that everyone has been using," says Maxim Gelmann, founder of Stroodles, the startup. The straws, made by an Italian company that also produces regular pasta, are the same shape and size as a standard plastic straw.Unlike a paper straw, they don't taste like wet paper; they don't change the flavor of the drink. They last at least an hour, and longer in colder drinks. If you're nursing a drink for hours and the pasta eventually softens, you can choose to eat it. The raw straw is also eatable, and Gelmann says that some people snack on them.A handful of other pasta-straw startups also exist, though Stroodles is hoping to feature itself with a smoother, more plastic-like material and its branding.It's more expensive to make than a plastic straw, but at large volumes, it can compete with the cost of paper straws. Because of the coming ban, "No one really compares us with plastic anymore," Gelmann says. "They compare us with paper straw prices, which makes my argument much easier and my expectation brighter."Other alternatives, like bamboo or stainless steel, are more expensive and a less elegant solution; some bars say that customers don't trust the idea that stainless steel straws can be fully sanitized（消毒）. Another option—a plastic-like eatable straw made from seaweed—may be more of a competitor.（1）What's the startup's main purpose of producing the pasta straws?A.To reduce the consumption of energy.B.To take over the market.C.To answer the call for the ban.D.To compete with paper straws.（2）What advantage do the pasta straws have compared with other straws?A.They are cheaper.B.They can be used longer.C.They can be treated as snacks.D.They are suitable for mass production.（3）What attitude does Gelmann have towards the pasta straws' future?A.Controversial.B.Doubtful.C.Cautious.D.Positive.（4）What can be inferred from the text?A.The government disagrees with Gelmann.B.The startup will become a very big company.C.The pasta straws face fierce competition.D.The pasta straws can improve drinks' flavor.二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Halfway through my warm﹣up on the course, I stepped aside to relax． I thought back to my middle school football days when the coaches ignored me． The next season, not wasting my time, I stayed away from football and joined the cross country team to adapt to the bitterly cold indoor basketball season． At that time, I found a coach who believed in me．Before this race, he and I had discussed the front﹣running, and decided to stick to our plan: Lead a race from the start．Fifteen minutes later﹣BOOM﹣the gun exploded． Hundreds of runners rushed out． I was in the middle of a pack of the most talented runners in Ohio． Slowly, I made my way through the pack as everyone began to fall into his pace． By the time we made the turn, I had settled into third place．Suddenly, I slipped and fell to the ground on the wet grass! No one stopped tohelp． Quickly, I got up and sped back up to catch up with the lead two, but hundreds of runners came right along with me．Gradually, the field of runners began to thin out with me leading the way． Two miles down, only one to go, I picked up the pace． I exploded at top speed toward the finish line． One hundred meters． Fifty meters． Twenty meters． Ten meters． Raising my fists in excitement, I crossed the two blue timing carpets． Boom! A time of 16: 14 lit up the bigscreen with my name and school next to it in first place． I completed my dream of winning a state title!Like Arthur Lydiard once said, “In every little village in the world, there are great potential champions who only need motivation．” Six years ago, I went from being anobody, standing on the football sidelines, to becoming a somebody: a state cross country champion．（1）How was the author treated by his football coaches？________A.

In hot summers, we often use electric fans to cool off． It is thought that the fans are cheap to buy and can save more electricity than air conditioners． But believe it ornot, electric fans do more harm than good in the fight against heat．Most people would ask “how’s that possible?” Well, as cruel as it may seem, the very fan you’re using could actually be increasing the temperature in your home, depending on how you’re using it．As is the case with anything with a motor, fans heat up while they’ re in use and indirectly warm the area around them as a result． While the current （流） of air your fan creates and blows in your direction might give off the appearance of cooling you down, what you’re actually feeling is the disappearance of sweat on your skin． Though this may offer some comfort, it wo n’t do much when temperatures rise．“Fans may provide comfort,but they won’t prevent heat﹣related illness when the temperature is in the high 90s, ” says Michael McGeehin, PhD, MSPH．This isn’t the only way your fan use could be contributing to the heat in yourhome． While traditional fans only raise the temperature in your home slightly, if you don’t use your ceiling fan ________, you can cause your home to heat up significantly．“Ceiling fans have a perfect direction for summer and anoth er one for winter, which can make your home colder or warmer, depending on your preferences, ” explains Alleckna．“On hot days, ceiling fans should run in the counterclockwise（逆时针）direction． The summer mode will make your ceiling fan suck the warm air up and push the cold air down．”If you have no option but to use a box fan to stay cool, remember its placement can make all the difference． If you want to bring in cooler air and keep the warm air out, place your fan next to a window or door．（1）What can we know about electric fans？________A. Electric fans are more energy﹣consuming．B. Having to use electric fans is a cruel thing．C. Electric fans are better than air conditioners．D. Using electric fans may result in higher temperature．．（2）Whic h can be used to replace the underlined word “strategically” in paragraph 5 ？________A. frequentlyB. properlyC. slightlyD. steadily．（3）What might affect the cooling effect of a ceiling fan？________A. Its distance from people．B. Its electric current．C. Its running direction．D. The height of the ceiling．．（4）What does the author mainly want to express？________A. Electric fans can harm the environment．B. Electric fans might cause heat﹣related illness．C. Different ways to operate different electric fans．D. It isn’t a good choice to use electric fans to cool off．【答案】DBCC【考点】议论文阅读社会文化类阅读【解析】本文属于社会文化类的短文阅读．主要介绍了风扇未必就能使温度降低，反而会导致温度升高，并解释天花板风扇和转页扇的具体工作原理和使用方法．【解答】（1） D．细节理解题．根据第二段the very fan you’re using could actually be increasing the temperature in your home，depending on how you’re using it．可知，使用的风扇确实会增加家里的温度，这取决于你使用的方式，由此可知使用风扇反而会导致温度升高；故选D．（2） B．词义猜测题．根据该划线词前面的句子While traditional fans only raise the temperature in your home slightly可知，传统的风扇只是轻微地使室内的温度升高，而后面一句you can cause your home to heat up significantly说你会致使家里的温度迅速上升，那么原因就在于你不恰当的使用风扇，由此可推知strategically意为properly；故选B．（3） C．推理判断题．根据第六段On hot days， ceiling fans should run in the counterclockwise（逆时针）direction．可知，天花板风扇的旋转方向影响着其制冷效果；故选C．（4） C．写作意图题．根据本文的内容描述可知，一开始指出了风扇未必就能使温度降低，反而会导致温度升高，后面介绍的是天花板风扇和转页扇的具体工作原理和使用方法，所以作者的意图就是介绍不同风扇的使用方法．故选C．4. Health experts have known for years that kids who grow up on a farm have fewer chances of allergies and asthma（哮喘）than city kids, but continued research is helping them better understand the connection between the immune（免疫）system and bacteria that is only found in that setting．A study compared 30 Amish children and 30 Hutterite children from two farming groups in North Dakota． Researchers chose these children because asthma is rare among the Amish but common among the Hutterites, even though the groups have similar geneticbackgrounds and diets and little exposure to tobacco smoke, polluted air and indoor pets． The one key difference lies in their farming methods: The Amish have no electricity and industrialization, while the Hutterites have them． Because of this, the children are exposed to different bacteria．“We never thought we would see a difference, ” Carole Ober, an author of the study said．“But we saw obvious differences with very different cell types and cell numbers．” The Amish children all had a large part of neutrophils（中性粒细胞）that are part of the so ﹣called immune system．The Amish kids’ neutrophils “were newly created”, evidence of a continual low﹣grade reaction to harmful bacteria． However, the Hutterite kids had “old” neutrophils．Researchers focused on one particular aspect of farm living﹣the dust． They exposed mice to bacteria found in farm dust． After two weeks, they found that when the mice were exposed to farm dust, they produced a protein in their lungs called A20． When they lost this protein, these mice had a normal allergic response to the dust mites（螨虫）．Researchers confirmed these findings with human surveys where they found that people who suffer from allergies and asthma have a shortage in A20 protein． Finally, they took a look at the kids growing up on farms who develop asthma and allergies． You guessed it﹣those kids have a change in their A20 gene that prevents the production of A20 protein．These researchers may have opened the door for treatment options for people who suffer from asthma．（1）Where does the difference between Amish and Hutterite children lie in？________A. Chances to develop asthma．B. Time to be exposed to tobacco smoke．C. The different genetic backgrounds they own．D. The amount of polluted food they take in．．（2）How did the researchers think about the findings of the study？________A. Satisfying．B. Unexpected．C. Exciting．D. Unconvincing．．（3）What might newly created neutrophils indicate？________A. One’s immune system is destroyed．B. The quality of blood is on the decrease．C. The body is losing the ability to protect itself．D. The body is fighting against harmful bacteria．．（4）What happened when mice were exposed to farm dust？________A. They lost weight quickly．B. Their A20 protein was lost．C. They easily reacted to asthma．D. Their immune system was strengthened．【答案】ABDD【考点】记叙文阅读阅读理解综合完形综合【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍科学家关于农场环境和哮喘过敏等疾病的关系的研究．通过研究发现，在农场环境长大的孩子，不容易得哮喘过敏等疾病．【解答】（1）A．细节理解题．根据文章第二段，A study compared 30 Amish children and 30 Hutterite children from two farming groups in North Dakota．．even though the groups have similar genetic backgrounds and diets and little exposure to tobacco smoke， polluted air and indoor pets．一项研究比较了30名来自北达科他州两个农业群体的阿米什族儿童和30名哈特族儿童，研究人员选择这些儿童是因为哮喘在阿米什族中很少见，但在哈特族中很常见，尽管这些群体有相似的遗传背景和饮食习惯，很少接触烟草烟雾、污染的空气和室内宠物．可知，阿米什族儿童和哈特族儿童的区别在于他们患哮喘这个疾病的概率不一样，同是生活在农场，哈特族儿童更易患哮喘．结合选项，故选A．（2）B．推理判断题．根据文章第三段，“We never thought we would see a difference，” Carole Ober， an author of the study said．“But we saw obvious differences with very different cell types and cell numbers．”我们从来没有想过我们会看到不同的结果，“研究作者卡罗尔•奥伯说，”但是我们看到了不同细胞类型和细胞数量的明显差异．可知，面对研究结果，研究人员是觉得意外的．结合选项，故选B．（3）D．细节理解题．根据文章第三段，The Amish kids’ neutrophils “were newlyc reated”， evidence of a continual low﹣grade reaction to harmful bacteria． However，the Hutterite kids had “old” neutrophils．阿米什人孩子的中性粒细胞“是新创造的”，这是对有害细菌持续低度反应的证据．然而，赫特人的孩子有的是“老”的中性粒细胞，对细菌的抵御功能较弱．可知，新的中性粒细胞能够从一定程度上抵御各种疾病和细菌．结合选项，故选D．（4）D．推理判断题．根据文章第四段，Researchers focused on one particular aspect of farm living﹣the dust． They exposed mice to bacteria found in farm dust． After two weeks， they found that when the mice were exposed to farm dust， they produced a protein in their lungs called A20． When they lost this protein， these mice had a normal allergic response to the dust mites（螨虫）．研究人员关注了农场生活中灰尘的一个特殊方面．他们将老鼠暴露在农场灰尘中的细菌中．两周后，他们发现当老鼠暴露在农场灰尘中时，它们的肺部产生一种叫做A20的蛋白质．当它们失去这种蛋白质时，这些老鼠对灰尘中的螨虫会有有正常的过敏反应．可知，暴露在灰尘中的老鼠产生了可以抵御螨虫的一种叫做A20的蛋白质，即此时，他们的免疫力增强了．结合选项，故选D．第二节（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．选项中有两项为多余选项．Why fake smiles don’ t always make you happy？Turn that frown（皱眉）upside down． Let a smile be your umbrella． Since childhood，we’ve been told that if we smile， happiness will come．（1）_______The idea dates back to Charles Darwin in the 1800s． Since then， people have believed that when you changethe expression on your face， you can change your mood．（2）_______In a recent paper， researchers analyzed the results from 138 studies that tested more than 11，000 participants． After breaking down the studies， they found the effect of smiling on your emotion is only slight．The researchers also looked into frowning to see if there was a connection between those forced expressions and feeling angry or mad．（3）_______The classic smiling/frowning test dates back to 1988 when people were asked to rate how funny cartoons were while holding a pen either between their teeth or their lips． When you hold a pen in your teeth， you feel somewhat forced to smile． However， when you hold one in your lips，you appear as if you’ re frowning．Interestingly， the people having the pen in their lips rated the cartoons as less funny than those with the pen in their teeth．（4）_______It wasn’t until Israeli researchers re﹣ran the experiment with and without video cameras in the room that the original results were reproduced．Actually，it is negative to put on a happy face when you’ re not feeling it．（5）_______So maybe sometimes，turning that frown upside down isn’t such a great idea after all．A． A forced smile is easy to distinguish．B． In both cases， the connections were small．C．But new research finds that the truth isn’t that simple．D． In fact， smile and frown are both common facial expressions．E． Later， many researchers tried to repeat the results but failed．F．That doesn’t just come from your mom trying to make you look more pleasant．G． People who have to smile a lot in their jobs end up drinking more after work．【答案】F,C,B,E,A【考点】说明文七选五【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了为什么假笑不能让你快乐的原因．【解答】（1）F．推理判断题．根据后文The idea dates back to Charles Darwin in the

the room that the original results were reproduced．直到以色列研究人员在房间里用和不用摄像机重新进行实验，原始结果才被复制．可知后来，许多研究人员试图重复这一结果，但都失败了；故选E．（5）A．推理判断题．根据前文 Actually，it is negative to put on a happy face when you’re not feeling it．实际上，当你感觉不到快乐的时候，戴上一张快乐的脸是消极的．可知勉强的微笑很容易辨别；故选A．第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．“Isobel, are you going to wait all day to dig up your

The program is intended to make and promote positive changes in the world. As Dr. Goodall says, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”In Bulgaria, where I live, homeless dogs are everywhere. Many people here turn a blind eye to them. But I cannot ignore the life of a street dog whenever I see one wandering in the street, l ooking for something to eat. That’s why I’m no longer a food waster. When I see wasted food, I always think of a hungry dog climbing to garbage bins, searching for food that people have thrown there. When eating in a restaurant, I’m not afraid to take left over food to feed stray cats or dogs.A week ago, I saw a homeless dog around the garbage bins. Immediately I knelt down, spoke to her softly and ran my hands over her. I could see that she had had puppies. I couldn’t imagine how she could have been able t o care for them. Hours earlier, I’d bagged up a plate of leftover fish. As I unwrapped it, she wagged her tail and sniffed at it. She ate all the fish in no time.It’s sad, isn’t it? I can’t understand why many of us waste so much and think little of it. T hese homeless animals have taught me that food is precious. Even when I don’t have leftovers with me, I’ll take the time to get something from the grocery store to feed them.I know my power is small, so I hope that next time you see wasted food, do turn it into worthy food. You have the power to save a life!25．The author uses what Dr. Goodall says to show__________.A．how we can develop our businessB．why it is important to be greatC．why the program is popular globallyD．how we can change the world positively26．What can be concluded from the text? ________A．There are few homeless dogs where the author livesB．The author takes homeless dogs home and raises themC．Seeing homeless dogs makes the author never waste foodD．People throw food into garbage bins to feed homeless dogs27．The author took the leftover fish with him to ________.A．feed a homeless dog he metB．eat it when he was hungryC．look for more homeless animalsD．set an example to those who throw away food28．The author wrote the text to ask us to__________.A．value our food B．treat dogs as our friendsC．save wasted food for homeless dogs D．raise homeless dogs and catsCOff the coast of Hawaii’s Big Island swim masses of colorful tropical fish. Some of these fish will be caught and sold, ending up in aquariums around the world. Is the industry putting populations of the fish at risk?Scientists who have studied the Big Island fishery say it is well managed. Rules put in place more than 15 years ago have helped to protect the fish. Along 35% of the coastline, for example, fish collecting is banned. Two years ago, the state cut the number of fish species for the aquarium trade from hundreds to just 40.Conservationist Robert Wintner objects to the findings. Wintner, who owns snorkel shops across Hawaii, started the Snorkel Bob Foundation to protect the island’s coral reefs（珊瑚礁）. He says he simply doesn’t see yellow tang （刺尾鱼）in the protected areas. “There should be millions of them,” he says. “Where are they?”Wintner says people believe the numbers in reports. But few people have actually dived into the coral reefs to see for themselves how many fish can be found there. According to Wintner, the coral reefs along the coast should be filled with yellow tang, but they are “virtually empty”. Emp ty reefs are not good for tourism, Wintner points out, which brings out $800 million yearly. By contrast, the aquarium-fish trade brings out just $2 million yearly. 29．According to Robert Wintner, ________.A．the yellow tang is sold merely for both food and the aquarium industryB．there are millions of yellow tang off Hawaii’s Big IslandC．the yellow tang’s population off Hawaii coast is largeD．what the recent report says is wrong30．Which of the following is caused by the empty reefs? ________A．Worse tourism B．More fish deathC．More hungry people D．Less swimming events31．What can be the best title for the text? ________A．Who will Win the Debate?B．Is the Tropical Fish Healthy?C．How Should We Protect Tropical Fish?D．Should the Sale of Tropical Fish be Banned?DComputers have beaten human world champions at chess and, earlier this year, the board game Go. So far, though, they have struggled at the card table. So we challenged one AI to a game.Why is poker（扑克）so difficult? Chess and Go are “information complete” games where all players can see all the relevant information. In poker, other players’ cards are hidden, making it an “information incomplete” game. Players have to guess opponents’ hands from their actions----tricky for computers. Poker has become a newbenchmark for AI research. Solving poker could lead to many breakthroughs, from cyber security to driverless cars.Scientists believe it is only a matter of time before AI once again vanquishes humans, hence our human-machine match co mes up in a game of Texas Hold’s Em Limit Poker. The AI was developed by Johannes Heinrich, researcher studying machine learning at UCL. It combines two techniques: neural（神经的）networks and reinforcement learning（强化学习）.Neural networks, to some degree, copy the structure of human brains: their processors are highly interconnected and work at the same time to solve problems. They are good at spotting patterns in huge amounts of data. Reinforcement learning is when a machine, given a task, carries it out, learning from mistakes it makes. In this case, it means playing poker against itself billions of times to get better.Mr Heinrich told Sky News:“ Today we are presenting a new procedure that has learned in a different way, more similar to how humans learn. In particular, it is able to learn abstract patterns, represented by its neural network, which allow it to deal with new and unseen situations.”After two hours of quite defensive play, from the computer at least, we called it a draw.32．Why can’t the comput er beat humans at the poker game? ________A．Because humans are cleverer than the computerB．Because humans practice playing the poker game every dayC．Because the computer can’t know the other players’ cards completelyD．Because the computer can’t learn t he regular rules of the poker game33．What does the underlined word “vanquishes” in Paragraph 3 mean? ________A．Leaves B．Defeats C．Cheats D．Serves34．What do we know about the reinforcement learning of AI? ________A．It solves problems correctly every timeB．It is the same as the learning of humansC．It learns from the mistakes appearing in a taskD．It is more developed than the studying ways of humans35．What can be inferred from the text? ________A．The new procedure of AI has some features of humansB．Computers are stronger than humans in every aspectC．Humans will beat computers at playing poker foreverD．Scientists feel unhappy about the result of the poker game第二节（共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.With the cold weather season rapidly approaching, caring for dry skin may become more challenging.

It’s one of true friend in life because it can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. With books, you have to be able to read, and music has no limits, no special conditions and was easily enjoyed by all. I don’t think there are many things in life for which have such a directly and clear influence on one’s feeling.

May 1．3.What is the basic requirement to apply for Harvard University？______A. Academic accomplishment．B. Strong personal qualities．C. Special talents．D. Unique perspectives．BWhen I was five or six years old，I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world．I would say to myself，"When I grow up，when I can get rich，I will save kids all over the world．"At 17，I started my career here in America，and by the age of 18，I started my first charity organization．I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years，and met，helped，and even lost some of the most beautiful souls，tern six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia （白血病），whose story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors，to 2012 when grandmother lost her battle with cancer，which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation（CLF）．We're all human．And we all just want a chance：a chance at life，a chance in education，a chance at a future，really．And at CLF，our mission is to impact as many lives as possible，but it starts with just one．People make it seem too hard to do charity work．The truth is，you don't have to be rich to help others．You don't need to be famous．You don't even have to be college-educated．But it starts with your neighbor，the person right next to you，the person sitting next to you in class，the kid down the block in your neighborhood．You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can．And today，I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person，one organization，one situation that touches your heart．My grandmother always used to say，"If you've got a dollar，there's plenty to share．"4.What did the author want to do at a young age？______A.

Challenge their friends to offer help．D. Do charity work whatever you are．CAlongside air and water，food is a necessity for human beings to survive and thrive．But it's a lot more than that．As Mariette Dichristina of Scientific American wrote："The most intimate （亲密的）relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being．Instead，it is between our bodies and our food．"Nowadays，for most people in the worlds wealthiest countries，food is a hobby，an enthusiasm，and even something fashionable．Turn on the TV in the US，UK or France，and you'll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession．And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a " foodie"．It's almostimpossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen．But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging （夸耀），many of us forget how much we take food for granted．This is why World Food Day is held each year．Take Kenya for example．This east African nation has been suffering terrible droughts．The result is that people are beginning to starve．Children in particular are suffering，with some of them even dying．This may seem shocking to know，especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way．But even in the UK，families on low incomes are forced to use food banks-European organizations that hand out donated food to those who can't afford to pay for it themselves．So what can we do on World Food Day？One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have．After all，food is essential for survival，but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time．8.According to Mariette Dichristina，what has the closest relationship with us？______A. Air．B. Water．C. Food．D. Human beings．9.What does the underlined word "foodie" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？______A. Delicious food．B. A person fond of food．C. A social media app．D. A photo of delicious meals．10.Who can get help from food banks？______A. Poor people in the UK．B. Poor people in Africa．G．Starving children in Kenya．D．People in thedrought-stricken．11.What's the best title for the text？______A. Treat Food as a HobbyB. Time to Appreciate FoodC. Food Shortage in Some CountriesD. How to Spend World Food DayDTraditionally，robots have been hard，made of metal and other rigid material：But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration from an octopus （章鱼）．Described in science journal Nature，the "Octobot" could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search，rescue and exploration．"The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft，autonomous robots" the study's authors wrote．Robots built for precise，repetitive movements in a controlled environment don't do so well on rough terrains （地形）or in unpredictable conditions．And they aren't especially safe around humans，because they're made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users．So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades．They're taken inspiration from nature，looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches，which are often made up of more flexible matter．But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge．Even if engineers build a silicone （硅酮）body，it's still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts，such as a source of power．"Although soft robotics is still in its early stage，it holds great promise for several applications，such as search-rescue operations and exploration，" Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology' Center for Micro-BioRobotics，wrote in a comment．"Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life．"12.What's the special feature of "Octobot"？______A. It's soft．B. It's made of metal．C. It's very small．D. It looks like an octopus．13.What's the disadvantage of traditional robots？______A. They're hard to control．B. They're too heavy to move．C. They can't predict conditions．D. They can't behave well all the time．14.One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot's ______ ．A. silicone bodyB. complex componentsC. precise movementsD. flexible power source15.What's the possible application of "Octobot"？______A. Medical research．B. Life rescue．C. Machine operation．D. House cleaning．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Why Stand in Line on Black Friday？Standing in line is a pain．At the post office．At the box office．At a restaurant．(1) The first spot outside some Best Buy stores is usually claimed （认领）weeks in advance，often by a person in a tent．Shoppers at Walmart will print out maps of the store，with circles around their primary targets．(2) ．"These queues are quite different than the usual annoying ones we come across day to day at the ATM or in the subway，" said Richard Larson，a professor at MIT who has spent years studying line behavior．"Once a year，" he said，"the lines are exciting．They're the kind you might tell your grandchildren about．" (3) Billie LeClere，45，was first in line on Thursday at Walmart in Manchester，Iowa．She said she was a regular Black Friday shopper．But this year，she came with a specific purpose：to get a good deal on a new TV ．She and her husband had recently separated，and he had taken the old TV earlier that day ．"The marriage died，not the TV，" she said．(4) "It's going to be nice to have something that's newer-and it's mine，not his．"(5) The following are two of the typical results．The "gotta have it" atmosphere makes people more anxious．Sometimes the behaviour of the queue turns violent．Therefore，lines test patience，personal space especially on Black Friday，when the crowds can be overwhelming （势不可挡的）．A．Shoppers are excited to buy gifts．B．But on Black Friday，it's an experience．C．Moreover，the crowds are queuing for good deals．D．Many families are queuing to chat with each other．E．The experience gave her a sense of accomplishment．F．They are trying to turn the experience into an adventure．G．The behaviour of people in lines has inspired decades of research．16.

2020-2021学年河南省新乡市第一中学高三英语第二次联考试卷及答案
2020-2021学年河南省新乡市第一中学高三英语第二次联考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AThe question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn’t an either / or one, although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also insists that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central elements of America’s educational system at all levels. Both areas are the key to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Under these circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem; “major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run. Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their 4th and 5th jobs, as there’s little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers. The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible. The ability to take advantage of every available tool and insight—picked up from science, arts, and technology—to solve the problems of the future, and seize the opportunities, will be helpful to them and the nation.1. What does the latest congressional report suggest?A. STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.B. The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.C. The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life.D. Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.2. What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?A. Their interest in relevant subjects.B. The academic value of the courses.C. The quality of education to receive.D. Their chances of getting a good job.3. What does the author say about the so called “soft” subjects?A. They benefit students in their future life.B. They broaden students’ range of interests.C. They just improve students’ communication skills.D. They are essential to students’ healthy growth.BThere is an old army joke about an officer who asks some soldiers whether any of them are interested in music. When four hands go up, the officer says, “Right, men. You can carry this grand piano down to the officers mess.”Job recruitment has become more complicated since that story first did the rounds. Today's careers require a lot more than just raw music but that sometimes makes jobs hard to define. An unfortunate result is a form of “adjective inflation” in recruitment ads as employers attempt to make routine tasks sound exciting.Candidates must sometimes wonder whether they are applying for a 9-to-5-role or to become a member of the Marvel “Avengers”. On Indeed, a job-bunting website, a bar was recently looking for "bartenders who are people focused, quality-driven, and have superhero hospitality powers". The ability to give customers the correct change was not mentioned.Another British company advertised for “a call-centre ninja, a superhero in people", a Job description which sounds a little over-the top for what was in fact a role at an insurance company in Isleworth. In case you think that ad was not typical. Indeed also had jobs demanding “ninja-like attention to detail". Short of turning up for the interview dressed head-to-toe in black, and then sneaking up behind the managing director at his desk, it is hard to see how candidates could show their ninja qualities.Not all companies require candidates to possess the qualities of a ninja, of course. Some require applicants to be passionate. The Bluewater shopping mall in southeastEnglandwas looking for “passionate sales-driven brand ambassadors” while “passionate crew members” were needed at a bakery in westLondonfor a wage of just £8. 23 an hour. In fact, passion is pretty hard to keep consistently for 40 hours a week, month after month. Job applicantsshould find some information from the kind of ads that companies place. If a job ad talks about passion or superheroes, run away faster than a speeding Batmobile. Being a ninja should be reserved for teenage mutant ninja turtles.4. Why does the author mention the joke in Paragraph 1?A. To show that officers enjoy playing tricks on soldiers.B. To introduce the topic of overstated job ads.C. To explain the origin of complex job ads.D. To describe soldiers' everyday life.5. Which of the following offers a job demanding ninja qualities?A. The bar.B. The bakery.C. The insurance company.D. The Bluewater shopping mall.6. What does the author say about the ads requiring passion?A. They are unrealistic.B. They are typical of want ads.C. They are appealing to applicants.D. They are uncommon on Indeed.7. How does the author sound when talking about today’s job ads?A. Curious.B. Hesitant.C. Humorous.D. Sympathetic.CThe founder of Earth Day was Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator fromWisconsin. During the late 1960s, Americans witnessed the uninvited side effects of high productivity. Factories and power plants were sending out smoke and industrial waste while Americans were using petrol for their massive(大量的) cars, making air pollution almostsynonymous withthe nation’s development.What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill inCalifornia, the largest in theUnited Statesat that time. The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a significant effect on marine life, killing about 3,500 sea birds, as well as marine animals such as dolphins, elephant seals and sea lions, fueling public anger. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time, Nelson found it an appropriate time to direct the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. He decided that it was time to educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmentalawareness took centre stage.On 22ndApril 1970, millions of Americans took to the street and thousands of students marched to appeal fora healthy, sustainable environment. There was now a new synergy(协同作用) among different groups which had previously been fighting their causes related to the environment. Their fight for environmental conservation became so overwhelming that affected businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted to continue their operations.As it became more apparent that environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world. Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit inRio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations for a united effort towards protecting the environment.8.

All of my hard work paid off. My mom had spent a lot on my attending a private high school, so I made sure to push myself: I volunteered, took part in various clubs, and graduated with honors. I was so excited to start a new part of my life.Soon enough, the big day came, but it wasn't like what I had thought. The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life. Every night I would cry myself to sleep. I was missing my family, my home and everything in my hometown so much and I didn’t know how to deal with my broken heart.To distract myself, I threw myself into my studies. I also found a ton of jobs. In any free time, I started forcing myself to go to the gym. I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn’t think about how lonely I felt. Soon after, I began to control my eating, considering it another solution to my homesickness. But soon there was something wrong with me.Finally, I went to see a doctor. When the doctor told me I had no choice but to take time away from school, I started to fear. How could I stop? School was what I was best at. “I’m not so bad,” I thought in my head. But the result was that I was taken to hospital again a month later and my mother camewoefully. I had to take a semester off from school, and go to the treatment center near my home.If there are girls who are suffering similarly, I hope you know that there is hope and that you should have a positive attitude towards life. Though you may feel alone, there are so many people who can understand your struggle. That’s why I want to share my story.12. Why did the author push herself during high school?A.
