AMy college experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly. Of course, most college students shouldn’t be drinking at all, but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol, which makes harm-reducing approaches important.Unfortunately, campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head: rather than filling up before a night of partying, significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.This is a high-risk behavior called “drunkorexia,” which is one part eating disorder, one part alcoholism—a very dangerous combination for college-age students. The term drunkorexia, which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol, was coined about 10 years ago, and it started showing up in medical research around 2012. Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin, pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students, mostly women.Imagine this scenario: A femal e college freshman doesn’t eat anything all day, exercises on an empty stomach, then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours. Because there’s no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly, leading to inebriation and possibly passing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning. That’s drunkorexia.Tavis Glassman, professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio, researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios suc h as the one described above: “With nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly, and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drinking: getting home safely, sexual assault, unintentional injury, fights, hangovers that affect class attendance and grades, and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,” he says.“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system, it can interfere with sleep, lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers,” Hultin says.1. What does the underlined word “inebriated” in paragraph 1 mean?A. excitedB. overwhelmedC. addictedD. drunk2. We can infer from the passage that ____________.A. a large number of college students spend most of their nights partyingB. some college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slimC. There is a direct link between body image and consuming alcoholD. female college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol3. Which of the following may Tavis Glassman agree with?A. With more food in one’s system, he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.B. Drinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.C. Those who don’t attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.D. Alcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.BThe first men and women came to Britain over two and a half million years ago. They were hunters and gatherers of food who used stone tools and weapons. But the British Isles only became islands separate from the rest of Europe about 8,500 years ago, when melting ice formed the English Channel!3,000 years after Britain became an island, new tribes who came by boat from the mainland introduced farming. These tribes built earthworks for protection and as tombs for their dead.Many of these man-made hills can still be seen.Later on, people learned to build stone monuments. The most amazing is Stonehenge, a circle of huge stones begun about 4,500 ye ars ago. Stonehenge is the world’s most famous prehistoric monument. We don’t know what it meant or what it was used for, though many different suggestions have been made.3,000 years ago the climate in Britain became colder and wetter than before, and people had to move down from high ground. A bit later iron started to be sued for tools and weapons instead of bronze.Knowledge of ironworking may have been brought by the Celts, a new wave of immigrants who started to arrive from southern Europe in about 500 BC.What we know about the first people in Britain has been worked out by archaeologists from the remains they left behind them. Pytheas, a Greek, was the first person who could read and write to come to Britain. His visit was in about 330 BC, over 2000 years after Stonehenge was begun. Unfortunately, what Pytheas wrote has been lost, so we don’t have any written record of Britain until the Romans came, almost 300 years after he did!4.This passage mainly tells us _______ .A.The dawn of history in BritainB.How English Channel was formedC.How the British made a living millions of years agoD.When humans appeared on the British Isles5.In this passage “the man-made hill” probably refers to ___________ .A.The small islands in BritainB.Earthworks for protection and as tombsC.The amazing StonehengeD.The farms opened up by the first man6.Why did people move to low ground 3,000 years ago?A.Because iron tools were used for farmingB.Because the climate made it unfit for man to live thereC.Because more people arrived from southern EuropeD.Because the Celts forced them to do so7.Only after ________ do people have written records about Britain.A.the arrival of the CeltsB.Stonehenge was begunC.Pytheas’s visitD.the Romans cameCDuring Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine -year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four differ ent directions. For a child on a bike that’s really confusing!”Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 81,000 - more than the city’s 850,000 inhabitants - and 63% of the population cycle daily.But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are ca rs, cycling tourists and scooters (小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when shewon a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury (评审员) member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that childr en have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park w here children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn a it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents, L otta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”8. Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?A. To teach children how to ride.B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.C. To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.9. Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?A. ImportantB. UnnecessaryC. DifficultD. Valuable10. What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor? .A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.B. She has won a contest about cycling.C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.D. She has given proposals to the city mayor.11. What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?A. CautiousB. FavorableC. AmbiguousD. DisapprovingDGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A c hild’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the RockyMountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guid es, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to s ee what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. “Oh, a few birds, ” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.12. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ________.A. anxious to do wonders.B. sensitive to others’ feelings.C. likely to develop unpleasant habits.D. eager to explore the world around them.13. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.B. To stop complaining all the time.C. To follow the teacher’s advice.D. To admit mistakes honestly.14. The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they _______.A. are very patient in their observation.B. are really fascinated by nature.C. care only about the names of birds.D. question the accuracy of the field guides.15. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should ______.A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world.B. get rid of some bad habits in our daily life.C. open our mind to new things and ideas.D. try our best to protect nature.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。

高考英语模拟试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AAmong all the tourist attractions in Sydney，the magnificent Opera House is the shining star．On the edge of Bennelong Point，a tongue of land sticking out into Sydney Harbor，this UNESCO World Heritage Site consists of a complex of roofs shaped like huge shells or billowing sails that mix beautifully with its waterfront location．Today visitors can admire the great beauty of the building．Much more than an opera house，the structure encompasses （包含）theaters，studios，a concert hall，rehearsal，and reception rooms，restaurants，and a spectacular open-air forecourt overlooking the harbor and city．American architect Louis Kahn once said，"The sun did not know how beautiful its light was，until it was reflected off this building．"Tips and TacticsBook seats for productions well in advance．Performances commence promptly so visitors should allow enough time to access the building，collect tickets，and stow cloaks，large bags，and jackets．Consider enjoying a meal in one of the restaurants to enjoy the stunning harbor views．One of the best sites to photograph the Opera House is Mrs．Macquarie's Chair in the Royal Botanic Gardens or from the water aboard a harbor cruise．Getting to the Sydney Opera HouseVisitors can catch a Sydney Bus，travel by City Rail，or hop aboard a Sydney Ferry to Circular Quay，which is a 5 to 7 minute walk from the Sydney Opera House．A free shuttle bus for elderly and mobility-challenged patrons （顾客）runs between Circular Quay near Stand E （under the Cahill Expressway）and the Vehicle Concourse．Bike parking is available under the Sydney Opera House Monumental Steps．Wilson's Sydney Opera House Car Park is located at 2 Macquarie St，with vehicle access next to the Sydney Opera House Forecourt．Admission：Ticket prices vary from attraction to attraction．Location：Bennelong Point，Sydney．1.Which of the characteristics of Sydney Opera House might attract visitors most？______A. Its historical context．B. Its unique architecture．C. Its waterfront location．D. Its superb harbor views．2.If you are a visitor to Sydney Opera House，you can ______ ．A. take a ferry directly to Sydney Opera HouseB. ride a free shuttle bus without any restrictionsC. take an equally good photo from any angleD. drive a car to 2 Macquarie St and park thereBMen don't go through pregnancy or childbirth．Their hormone （荷尔蒙）levels don't nosedive．What exactly have they got to be depressed about？Quite a lot，according to research from Sweden showing that，over the past 10 years，a significant number of men have struggled with the transition（过渡）to fatherhood．This latest research tries to quantify just how many men get postnatal（产后）depression．Previous studies have found between 4% and 10% of men．while，in this smallish sample of 447 Swedish fathers who volunteered （and may therefore not represent your average dad），a surprising 28% of men had symptoms that scored above mild levels of depression．Overall，4% had moderate depression．Fewer than one in five fathers who were depressed sought help，even though a third of those had thought about harming themselves．While women in the UK are often asked a series of questions that screen for postnatal depression （which affects up to 13% of women），the mental health of fathers is rarely assessed．The lead author of the Swedish paper，Elisa Psouni，from the department of psychology at Lund University，says the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale（EPDS）used for both women and men is not so accurate in picking up depression in fathers．Her research showed higher levels of depression in dads because it added in a score more reflective of "male" symptoms of depression such as agitation，anger，irritability（易怒），working longer hours and drinking too much．Depression in fathers may be rising not just because researchers are looking for it，but because more new dads are struggling．Psouni believes fathers increasingly face the same dilemmas that mothers do-including trying to combine parenthood with working Fathers who got depressed often had external pressures，such as job issues，and if their partner was depressed，their own risk of depression doubled．Lack of sleep，having twins and conflict in the relationship can all contribute．A depressed dad will play and smile less with his child．Children are deeply affected by paternal postnatal depression with studies showing poorer measures of wellbeing and more behavioral problems at the age of seven．Fathers who sense they may be struggling and partners，relatives or friends who notice an increase in imitability and anxiety in a man in the first year of parenthood （paternal depression is more dispersed throughout the first 12 months）should consider the possibility of paternal postnatal depression．Cognitive behavioral therapy（认知行为疗法）can help，as can antidepressants．If the depression is not recognised，says Psouni，"one of most terrible things is that you catch up with yourself a year later and realise you have been really down and struggling-and the first year of your child's life has gone．"3.What is revealed about men according to a Sweden research？______A. They experience a sharp decline in hormone．B. Many of them suffer from postnatal depression．C. They seldom go through pregnancy or childbirthD. Many of them qualify for the transition to fatherhood．4.What do the statistics in Paragraph 2 indicate？______A. The researchers should invite more Swedish fathers．B. Over half of Swedish fathers tend to harm themselves．C. The mental health of fathers deserves more attention．D. Postnatal depression affects British women more easily．5.Why did Psouni's research show higher levels of depression in dads？______A. Researchers use a new measure for male symptom of depression．B. Researchers adopt EPDS to accurately pick up depression in dads．C. Fathers have trouble in coping with internal and external pressures．D. Fathers are often faced with the doubled risk of partner depression．6.What may happen to a father with paternal depression？______A. He may develop terrible behavioral habits．B. He may avoid being recognized with depression．C. He may decline cognitive behavioral therapy．D. He may miss the chance of giving proper childcare．CCane toads，also known as buffo toads，are yet anotherinvasive（入侵）species that has found a hospitable home inwarm southern Florida．Deliberately introduced from South andCentral America in the 1930s they were supposed to controlbeetles damaging the sugarcane crop-that's how they got the name"cane toads"．Cane toads can pose a particular danger because the adult ones shoot toxin（毒素）from their back when attacked．The tiny toads don't carry enough toxin to be deadly yet，but big adult ones can easily send a dog into a seizure（疾病发作）or even kill it．The toxin is" very viscous and would stick inside the dog's mouth，"says Steve Johnson，a wildlife ecologist at the University of Florida．Owners should try to wipe out an affected dog's mouth and immediately take it to the vet．Tilford started Toad Busters in 2017．The woman who lived there had nine cats，which she fed by dumping almost a bag of cat food every night．Cane toads normally eat bugs，but they are happy to eat pet food，too．Cane toads have adapted beautifully to the Florida suburbs，so a lot of Tilford's work also involves getting people to rethink their suburban backyard．No more cat food．for example ．Pet poop（粪便）can also attract insects，which can in turn attract toads．As do lights And toads love to breed（繁殖）in attractive pools of water，such as the lake in the affected Palm Beach Garden neighborhood．For" these larger communities that want to build these beautiful ponds and want to have houses on ponds，"Tilford said，"this is almost a pest-control service．"The cane toads aren't going away，but they can be managed like mosquitoes or rats．Dealing with toads amounts to an annoying thing in Florida，but they can also create more dramatic problems．In Australia-where they were also deliberately introduced in the 1930s to protect sugarcane-they are a genuine scourge （灾祸）．The issue is that Australia has no native toad species，so none of the predators（食肉动物）knew how to avoid the toxic toads．As the cane toads advanced east to west across the continent，"they left a wake of dead animals in their paths，"says Sean Doody，an ecologist at the University of South Florida at St．Petersburg who has studied cane toads in Australia．Turtles，lizards，and crocodiles just started dying out，which was good news for their prey（受害者）" If you were a small species that was previously being eaten，suddenly you're on a honeymoon，says Rick Shine，a biologist at Macquarie University in Sydney，Australia，who has also studied the impact of cane toads on Australian wildlife．7.What can cane toads be described as？______A. Invasive species introduced to South America．．B. Natural enemies of beetles damaging sugarcaneC. Dangerous species making active attacks on dogs．D. A great threat presented to some wildlife ecologists．8.Which might be the proper way of avoiding cane toads according to Tilford？______A. Abandon the suburban backyard．B. Light up the backyard at night．C. Control the number of large houses．D. Keep pet food away from backyard．9.What happened in Australia after cane toads being introduced？______A. Cane toads destroyed some food chains．B. Most of the predators died of toad toxin．C. Cane toads bred at a much slower pace．D. Big species learned to avoid cane toads．DSome of the greatest moments in human history were fueled by emotional intelligence．When Martin Luther King．Jr．presented his dream，he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience．Delivering this electrifying（震撼性的）message required emotional intelligence-the ability to recognize，understand，and manage emotions．Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by leaders，policymakers，and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems．If we can teach our children to manage emotions，the argument goes，we'll have less bullying and more cooperation．If we can cultivate emotional intelligence among leaders and doctors，we'll have more caring workplaces and more compassionate healthcare．Emotional intelligence is important，but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscured （掩盖）a dark side．New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills，they become better at manipulating （把持）others．When you're good at controlling your own emotions，you can hide your true feelings．When you know what others are feeling，you can motivate them to act against their own best interests．Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence．In a research led by University of professor Jochen Menges，when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion．the audience was less likely to scrutinize （细察）the message and remembered of the content．Ironically（讽刺的是）audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more of it．The authors call this the awestruck effect，but it might just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect．One observer reflected that Hitler's persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotions-he would "ear open his heart-and these emotions affected his followers to the point that they would"stop thinking critically and just emote．" Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our capacities to reason．If their values are out of step with our own．the results can be destructive．New evidence suggests that when people have self-serving motives （动机），emotional intelligence becomes a weapon for manipulating others．In a study led by the University of Toronto psychologist Stephane Cote ，university employees filled out a survey about their Machiavellian（不择手段的）tendencies，and took a test measuring their knowledge about effective strategies for managing emotions．Then，Cote's team assessed how often the employees deliberately undermined （逐渐削弱）their colleagues．The employees involved in the most harmful behaviors were Machiavellians with high emotional intelligence．They used their emotional skills to lower the dignity of their peers for personal gain．Shining a light on this dark side of emotional intelligence is one mission of a research team led University College London professor Martin Kilduff．According to these experts，emotional intelligence helps people disguise （伪装）one set of emotions while expressing another for personal Professor Kiiduit's team writes，""The strategic disguise of one's own emotions and the manipulation of others' emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident not only on Shakespeare's stage but also in the offices and corridors where power and influence aretraded．"Of course，people aren't always using emotional intelligence for nefarious ends．More often than not，emotional skills are simply instrumental tools for goal accomplishment．A research team discovered that founder Anita Roddick used emotional intelligence to inspire her employees fundraise for charity．As Roddick explained，"Whenever particular project we always tried to break their hearts we wanted to persuade our staff to support a particular project we always tried to break their hearts．"There is growing recognition that emotional intelligence--like any skill--can be used for good or evil．So if we're going to teach emotional intelligence in schools and develop it at work，we need to consider the values that go along with it and where it's actually useful．10.Why does the author mention Martin Luther King，Jr？______A. To honor the great leader for his courage．B. To recommend his speech to other leaders．C. To impress the readers with a major topic．D. To advocate a society with fewer problems．11.Which of the following belongs to a dark side of emotional intelligence？______A. Developing the capability to control one's own emotion．B. Inducing people to do what brings disadvantages to them．C. Appealing to the audience to concentrate and remember more．D. Encouraging the moved audience to a more of the speech．12.What is the dumbstruck effect of Hitler's emotional intelligence？______A. His followers would tear open their hearts to him．B. His followers would express emotions strategically．C. His followers would lose the ability to reason properly．D. His followers would develop the self-serving motives．13.How do people use their emotional intelligence for personal gain？______A. They disguise their emotions to earn others' trust．B. They help their colleagues to build up confidence．C. They present their strategic behaviors on the stage．D. They lower their own dignity to gain popularity．14.Which may mean the same as the underlined word in Paragraph 8？______A. Immoral．B. Unimportant．C. Illegal．D. Uncontrollable．15.What would be the best title for the passage？______A. The benefits of emotional intelligenceB. The ways of disguising one's emotionsC. The reasons for using emotional skillsD. The dark side of emotional intelligence二、单选题（本大题共15小题，共15.0分）16.-Is it enough to finish the form for a passport， Madam？-Your passport application form should be _____by two recent photos．（ ）A. updatedB. accompaniedC. establishedD. identified17.Some business owners are keen on public welfare．This is____ local services have been funded．（ ）A. whetherB. whatC. whereD. how18.We offered to pay our half of the cost that was needed to restore the shared doorway butCharles would have _______ of it．（ ）A. nothingB. anythingC. noneD. any19.-How about going sightseeing this Saturday afternoon？-Sorry， I ____my research report the whole weekend．（ ）A. will have writtenB. will be writingC. have writtenD. have been writing20.Young couples will be happy to see their babies_____ with good health and intelligencewhen they are born．（ ）A. to blessB. blessingC. blessedD. being blessed21.Word came that 30 firefighters gave their lives to our country____ national property security．（ ）A. in exchange forB. in response toC. in terms ofD. in contrast with22.Having battled with their _____over whether to offer help to an aged man or woman who has fallen over， most people choose to help．（ ）A. compromiseB. contradictionC. conscienceD. competence23.Don't give up half way，and you will find the scenery is more beautiful when you reach the destination than whe n you _____．（ ）A. start offB. have started offC. started offD. will start off24.We completed one third of the project， and the loan_____ in place，we had to delay the rest till the next month．（ ）A. not arrangedB. was not arrangedC. not arrangingD. had not been arranged25._____for years of hard training， she would not be standing on the stage，receiving huge cheers and applause．（ ）A.

phones or even photography，diaries were kept as a way to understand oneself and the world in which one lives．In the 18th and 19th centuries， as diaries became more popular，middle-class New Englanders， particularly white women，wrote about their everyday lives and the world around them．These diaries were not a place into which they poured their innermost thoughts and de sires， but rather a place to chronicle（记录）the social world around them．The diaries captured the everyday routines of mid-19th-century life，and women diarists in particular focused not on themselves but on their families and their communities．Diaries today are， for the most part， private．But things were different for these New England diaries．Young women who were married would send their diaries home to their parents as a wa y of maintaining kin（血缘）relations． When family or friends came to visit，it was not uncommon to sit down and go through one's journal together．Diaries are not the only media that people have used to document lives and share them with others． We have long used media like photo albums，baby books and even slide shows as a means of creating traces（痕迹） of our lives． We do this to understand ourselves

In 2012, he and hisfamily were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there werelocal children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community,Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids’and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful lifechanged course.Using safety guidelines and his daughter’s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around theholiday. As word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along withThe nextMickelson’s bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he sa year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapidgrowth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latterand went from making “great money to zero money”.

Positive.CLearning how to face silence in conversation is an important skill especially when working acrosscultures.In international negotiations, experienced negotiator (谈判者) stay silent and impassive on purposebecause that will make others feel uncomfortable and possibly make compromises without having to doanything. Americans especially can’t stand silence, so they often are the first to break the silence and sometimes might be at a disadvantage in negotiations.So what’s the best response? Set your jaw and wait it out. Don’t offer a compromise just becauseare not speaking. If you have to say something, ask a direct question, such as “What’s your in to that offer?” Once a silence is getting into 45 seconds you could say, “Let’s come back to t and go on with the next part of our negotiation.”In presentations, silence can be far more effective than dramatic passion (热情). Before starting, lookat the audience and be silent for a moment because that says, “I’m in control. I know what I’m confident.”A classic example was when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone. He introduceds. Because silence makes us nervous, our naturalwith many pauses so that you didn’t miss his key pointreaction is that we’d better pay attention, there’s something going on here.Equally, when giving a speech to staff or trainees, pauses count-especially if there are negatives. If youspoon feeding. Give people a moment of silence to get beyond the emotional responsekeep talking you’reand to start thinking consciously and processing.Silence can be an inward-focused thoughtful activity or an outward stillness where you give yourselfthe time to watch and think and listen to the world around you. Having observed the use of silence inFinland and also among the Blackfeet Nation, a North American Indian tribe in northern Montana in the US,we can see benefits far beyond wheeling and dealing.Silence can be a very powerful point for understanding ourselves, understanding others, fordeveloping better common understanding and more productive outcomes and that applies to business,politics, education, law, medicine, every area of human life.8. What is most likely to be Americans idea?A. Speaking less gives the upper handB. The shorter talking gaps are, the better.C. A silent man is the best one to listen toD. Speak out what you have in your mind.9. What is the purpose of the example of Steve Jobs?A. To show the wisdom of Steve Jobs.B. To explain silence can be more effective.C. To introduce how to make a presentation.D. To prove silence can ease one’s nervousness.10. What is the meaning of the underlined words “spoon feeding” in Paragraph 6?A. Supporting some person with any selfless help.B. Feeding somebody patiently with a small spoon.C. Giving others some new ideas to think over carefully.D. Using a way that discourages independent thought.11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Silence is the best defense.B. Silence in negotiations is of great help.C. Learning the skills about silence is important.D. Silence has different meanings in difficult culture.DBritish people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Nowsome companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness.Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Fridayoff, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operatelike this: staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found thatthey achieved just as much—and there were even sighs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success, Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime eachweek (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their Europeanneighbors, who tend to work fewer hours.British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation’s health and happiness. Mo than half a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-related stress or anxiety last year.Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on thelabor market, where unsteady work becomes more common.Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and worklonger ho urs. For campaigners, now is the time for a change. O’Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers inits from new technology, not allowing those at thethe form of reduced hours. “It’s time to share the beneftop to grab them for themselves.” she says.12. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. British people are the least productive in the worldB. Most companies in Britain have conducted a four-day weekC. PR company has witnessed a rise in employees’ happinessD. British people work longer and get more payment than other countries13. Which is the proper description of British working practices?A.

It’s time for employers to share the increased profits created by automation.B. Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours.C. New technology should belong to both businesses and workers.D. Businesses can’t make more profits without new technology.15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?-day working week.A. To introduce some British firms’ switch to a fourB. To explain the reasons why British workers suffer stress and anxiety.C. To appeal for more reasonable working conditions.D.

2020年江苏省高考英语模拟试卷15套(附答案解析)
In recent years I have had two very good roles on television： Florence， the wisecracking maid on the series The Jeffersons， and Mary， the mother who holds things together on 227 ． But 17 years ago， in 1972 when I was just getting started in theater work， I thought I'd never make it as an actress． For that matter， I couldn't even hold my life together or afford a home of my own． Back then I had about as much self-confidence as a chicken in a fox's nest． I was recovering from surgery and had been off work for six months from my job as a United Airlines reservations agent． I'd had some bit parts in local theater groups， but those came and went， not leading to anything bigger． Worse， as a single mother with three youngsters， I had no place to live． My children were staying with their father while I recovered in an aunt's apartment． Lying in bed， staring hopelessly at the wall， I didn't know what to do or where to turn． Then one Sunday morning I aimlessly turned on the television set， and there were actor Robert Young and his wife talking about their faith． I sat right up in bed． They said， " When one door closes， a better one opens，" Well， I wasn't going to just sit staring at the closed one． So I got up and trudged（跋涉） on． Even if my shoes wore out， I decided， my faith wouldn't． Later， when I began filling small parts in television productions， that self-confidence showed． I'd always done my best to play the role as I thought the director wanted， but now I found myself freer to interpret it， I was more natural， more me． 4. What do the underlined words " hold my life together" in paragraph 1 probably mean？

AYou might have heard a lot about ancient towns and ancient cities in China.

By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in “Section L”. I found out later that everyone called Section L “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that.Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, I had to try to make things better.The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in “Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore. Even though I couldn’t change my situation, I could change my attitude—and that made all the difference.4. “Loserville” is a section for ________.A. failuresB. good studentsC. class secretsD. newcomers5. The writer complained all the time in the new environment because ________.A. Ana didn’t text back to herB. her friends hurt her feelingsC. she was unfairly treatedD. she was a good student6. What made a difference in changing the situation?A. She went back to Illinois.B. She ended friendship with Ana.C. She fought back with her classmates.D. She began to make friends with others.7. The best title for the passage can be ________.A. Lasting FriendshipB. An Incidence at SchoolC. Say Goodbye to “Loserville”D. Unhappiness in “Loserville”CMoscow city authorities have begun using comics（漫画）with characters from Russian fairy tales to explain to migrants（移民）how they should behave. They say a 100-page guide is needed to "keep a positive image" of the city and could help reduce "tensions" between natives and migrants. But critics have pointed out that foreign migrants and natives may be regarded as antagonists in the manual(手册).Russians and migrants have repeatedly flooded in Moscow recently. Many migrants from ex-Soviet republics in Central Asia, the Caucasus（高加索）and North Caucasus, arrive in Moscow every year, attracted by the capital’s job opportunities and relatively high salaries. A significant number of them workin the Russian capital illegally.The new guide in Russian seeks to explain the "dos" and "don’ts" to migrants. They are urged not to cause trouble, by staring at women, or eating or talking loudly on the streets. They are also warned that the police may routinely（例行公事）stop them to check their documents.In the manual, Russia’s famous "three warriors" are meant to represent the city’s law enforcement agencies（执法机关）, while Prince Y uri Dolgoruky (a historical character) is used for tours around Moscow. Meanwhile, Vasilisa the Wise and The Snow Maiden test the reader on Russia’s language a nd history. A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow’s strict residency and employment rules, stressing that migrants could otherwise be deported(驱逐出境) or banned from entry.The manual was written primarily for illegal migrants, Alexander Kalinin, who heads the group Support for Working Migrants in Moscow, told BBC Russian."We want to raise their level of law awareness," he added.Migrant characters had initially(最初) been identified as representatives of different nationalities, but the book’s authors later decided to drop this idea so as "not to offend anyone", said Mr. Kalinin."The old conflict between Russian heroes and non-Slavic invaders is being revived," Yevgeny Varshaver, a migration expert told BBC Russian. He also suggested that the language used in the book would be "difficult" to understand for some migrants who were not native Russian speakers.8. The underlined word "antagonists" in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by "_____".A. friendsB. acquaintancesC. cooperatorsD. opponents9. People from other countries come to Moscow "_____"A. to find well-paid jobsB. to have a new lifestyleC. to enjoy the fine climateD. to experience a new culture10. The third paragraph is mainly about"_____".A. consequences the migrants may sufferB. the purpose of publishing the handbookC. the measures to attract foreign migrantsD. characters and their functions in Russian fairytales11. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A. Ways to help foreign migrants to settle in RussiaB. Characters from Russian fairy tales have new jobsC. More and more foreign migrants to work in MoscowD. Moscow fairy tale comics to help migrants behaveDIn this Pennsylvania city, Pittsburgh is shrinking but getting wealthier. Since 2000, its population has declined by 95,000 while its income per capita (人均) has shot up 24 percent. The trend is taking hold in many other cities, like Buffalo in New York, Providence in Rhode Island and New Orleans.Some of these areas have created more high-paying jobs in energy, health care or education. Others have managed to reshape their producing industry for a new economy. Higher-paying jobs have a greater effect because they create demand for additional services. "The story in Pittsburgh is very positive, and other areas are looking at it as an example of the transformation that might be possible，”said Guhan Venkatu, who wrote an economic history of the area called “Rust and Renewal” for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have helped bring tech jobs and innovation(革新) to the area by sponsoring tech centers that help graduates start companies without moving to Silicon Valley or San Francisco. This has helped keep Pittsburgh's educated young population growing even as the entire population in the city has dropped.Pittsburgh has more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) jobs than other shrinking cities, about 80, 000 or 7% of all jobs. STEM jobs add productivity and income growth to the area. Manufacturers of high-tech medical equipment in the Pittsburgh area also have doubled employment in the last 10 years.However, some experts question whether growing income per capita can really make up for a declining population. According to Patrick Adler, a researcher at the University of Toronto, population loss does matter if it means lower-skilled workers have fled because of a lack of opportunity. What's more, high-paying jobs in education and health care can disappear if the population declines too greatly. So it'd be wise to find ways to increase the population.12. In what aspect does Pittsburgh set a good example?A. Transforming old energy into new energy.B. Creating more well-paid jobs.C. Prohibiting the manufacturing.D. Sponsoring higher education.13. How do some academic institutions help with the local economy?A. By helping to attract more talents from other areas.B. By providing much technical support to local companies.C. By hosting tech centers for local educated graduates.D. By assisting in employing a large number of educated youths.14. Why is Patrick Adler mentioned in the last paragraph?A. To show the disadvantage of a declining population.B. To suggest increasing high-paying jobs.C. To raise doubts about growing income per capita.D. To tell a reason why lower-skilled workers flee.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. How Fast Job Growth Is Related to Population GrowthB. How Less-crowded Cities Plan Their High-tech EconomyC. Why Some Cities Are Losing People but Getting WealthierD. Why Some Cities Are Suffering From a Shrinking Population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。
