广州市2020年高三第二次模拟考试英语试题及答案
广州市2020年高三第二次模拟考试 英语 第二部分阅读理解(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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 WENQIANG A We can all think of times when people didn't make remembering easy. Directions given at machine-gun speed. New people introduced in a flood of names and handshakes. Whenever information is passed between people, it’s all too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and you’ll see parents who can get their children to rem ember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to imprint their sales messages on our brains. So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and engagement. FOCUS means ensuring that the person you’re talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope. IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people “see”the ideas you’re giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors. REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protectthem from embarrassment, or let them enjoy a particular experience or event. EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them laugh. The next time you’ve got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You’ll discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people’s memories into action. 21. What is the main purpose of the text? A.To report new research. B.To provide some advice. C.To explain a problem. D.To define some terms. 22. How can you do to help a listener “focus” on w hat you are saying? A.Select the appropriate time to raise the topic. B.Do something humorous to get their attention. C.Make sure the information provided is correct.

Lions are the top tourist attraction to Kenya and also considered critically endangered． One of the main causes of their death is that people kill them in return for lions attacking their cows． "We put our cows in a small cow shelter at night, " locals said, "and that's when the trouble would start． Lions would jump in the shelter and kill the cows"． There have been a lot of efforts to try to protect the lions, but it's a crisis and everyone is looking for a solution． One idea was land leases （租用）, another was lion﹣proof fences． However, no one even knew that Richard Turere, a 13﹣year﹣old Maasai from Kenya, had already come up with something that worked． One night Richard was walking around with a flashlight and discovered the lions were scared of a moving light． An idea was born． Three weeks and much repairing later, Richard invented a system of lights that flash around the cow shelter, mimicking a human walking around with a flashlight． His system is made from broken flashlight parts and an indicator box from a motorcycle． "The only thing I bought was a solar panel （电池 板）, which charges a battery that supplies power to the lights at night． " Richard says． He calls the system Lion Lights． His simple solution was so successful; his neighbors heard about it and wanted Lion Lights, too． He put in the lights for them． From there, the lights spread and are now being used all around Kenya． Someone in India is trying them out for tigers． In Zambia and Tanzania they're being used as well． （1）Why do local people kill lions？________ A.To protect their cows． B.To attract tourists． C.To scare away large animals． D.To sell them for money． （2）What makes Richard's idea successful？________ A.That the system can protect lions． B.That the lights will cost nothing． C.That the cows are lawfully killed．
