AWith all the attention Thanksgiving and Christmas get from tra vellers, it’s easy to overlook Halloween as a destination holida y. While a few cities provide a ghostly atmosphere all year rou nd, annual festivals, theme park pop-up events and other haunted happenings elsewhere have hel ped make the holiday a travel mini-season all its own.Home to year-round cemetery walks, is among the cities that naturally harm onize with Halloween. Worth noting every October is the famil y-friendly Halloween parade, happening this year on Oct. 21, wi th floats devoted to themes like werewolves and vampires. Fl oat riders throw locally made candies to the crowd. hosts ple nty of after-event-parties, but the procession itself draws all ages in costume.,This picturesque town on England’s Yorkshire coast is consid ered to be the home of Dracula, though in a different way. Bra m Stoker spent just a month in , but those four weeks in July and August 1890 were important in the creation of his most fa mous book, “Dracula”, which was published in 1897. celebrat ed the 125th anniversary of Stoker’s visit in 2015, but this year you can see the skeletal remains of Whitby Abbey illuminate d throughout the final week of October.,Home to the infamous witch trials of the early 1690s, it should come as no surprise that this town is a hotbed for Halloween activity. One way builds on its spectral past is with the nearly month-long festival of the Dead. Events starting from mid-October this year include psychic readings, mourning-themed tea and on Halloween night, a witches gathering.,The home of Disney World and Universal Studios goes all-out with huge Halloween events. Universal this year will hold i ts 27th Halloween Horror Night on Oct. 30, a seasonal pop-up featuring haunted houses and “scareactors” employed to fr ighten visitors. Plus, there are many other activities like trick-or-treating, Disney character encounters, a Halloween ball and fi reworks.21. Which of the following is most recommended for a family going together?A. New Orleans.B. Whitby, England.C. Salem, Massachusetts.D. Orlando, Florida.22. Where do Halloween activities last the longest this year?A. New Orleans.B. Whitby, England.C. Salem, Massachusetts.D. Orlando, Florida.23. What can you do in Orlando, Florida ?A. Have mourning-themed tea.B. Enjoy dancing.C. Watch Disney movies.D. See skeletal remains.BA cloudless Southern California sky looms over the Pro Park Course for the Pro Skate Park Series. Here to compete are so me of the top female skaters in the world. The women skaters range in age from early adolescence to early 30s, but in a sp ort that embraces youth, there is one who stands out. At 8 ye ars old, Sky Brown, would be the youngest skater, male or fe male, ever to compete at this series.She is known to some — a minor star of the viral age. When h er first video was posted to YouTube, Sky initially gained a littl e internet fame as a premature and level-headed 4-year-old — highly intelligent, well-spoken beyond her years, hugely talented, and yet grounded. Four years later, it was announced that she would be competi ng at Huntington Beach. Still, the question remains: Is she truly ready, or will this be another case where reality comes cras hing down hard on all the hype?And then, it turns out to be anything but. Sky goes out and pre sents one surprise after another. Commentators Neal Hendrix and Chris Pastras are left in awe, “Half of the pros can't do.”The only thing that makes the prodigy look like a kid is her siz e. In every other regard, she holds her own with skaters 10 an d 20 years her senior. Before the competition at Huntington, S ky was a curiosity. After, she is a competitor.Sky's first memory of a skateboard is seeing her father, Stuart , doing a few tricks in front of the family home. “It always look ed really fun,” says Sky. “I just kept begging to try it.” Sky prog ressed quickly, although she never had a formal coach. Some how she just had the knack. Every movement, every shift in w eight, every push and pull of body on board, she absorbed. T hen, she did it herself.“You get so close to making it,” she says of her process, “and think you're about to land it, and then it takes you 100 more ti mes. I'm always saying to my parents, 'Just one last try.'” If an yone was pushing, striving to get better, it was Sky herself, le arning new tricks the same way everyone else does — by tryi ng, failing, falling, and getting back up again.24. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. To show Sky’s early experience.B. To show Sky’s talents from varied aspects.C. To show the public’s doubt about Sky’s competence.D. To show the public’s recognition of Sky’s performances.25. What do we know about Sky?A. She equals the senior skaters in the competition.B. She looks like a professional skater in terms of her figure.C. She participates in a competition inappropriate for the youn g.D. She has already become a household name before the co mpetition.26. What is the main reason for Sky’s achievements?A. Her parents push her too hard.B. She practices hard and never quits.C. Her coach is very strict with her.D. Her father exerts a strong influence on her.27. What is the best title for the text?A. A Rocky Road Leads to Internet FameB. A Strong Competitor Stands out from CrowdC. An 8-year-old Skater Amazes the WorldD. A Wonder Shows at the Pro Skate Park SeriesCIn 1992, Teen Talk Barbie was released with the controversial voice fragment, “Math class is hard.” While the toy's release met with strong public reaction, this underlying assumption pe rsists, spreading the myth that women do not thrive in science , technology, engineering and mathematic (STEM) fields due t o biological inadequacies in math aptitude. However, in 2019 Jessica Cantlon at Carnegie Mellon University led a research team that comprehensively examined the brain development of young boys and girls and found no gender difference in brai n function or math ability.Cantlon and her team conducted the first neuroimaging study to evaluate biological gender differences in math aptitude of y oung children. Her team used functional MRI（核磁共振）to measure the brain activity in 104 young children (3-to-10-year-old; 55 girls) while watching an educational video covering ear ly math topics, like counting and addition. The researchers co mpared scans from the boys and girls to evaluate brain simila rity. In addition, the team examined brain maturity by compari ng the children's scans to those taken from a group of adults ( 63 adults; 25 women) who watched the same math videos. After numerous statistical comparisons, Cantlon and her teamfound no difference in the brain development of girls and boy s. In addition, the researchers found no difference in how boy s and girls processed math skills and were equally engaged w hile watching the educational videos. Finally, boys' and girls' b rain maturity were statistically equivalent when compared to ei ther men or women in the adult group.Cantlon said she thinks society and culture are likely steering girls and young women away from math and STEM fields, as previous studies show that families spend more time with you ng boys in play that involves spatial cognition（空间认知）. “Typical socialization can make worse small differences between boys and girls that can snowball into how we treat th em in science and math,” Cantlon said. “We need to be aware of these origins to ensure we aren't the ones causing the gen der inequities.”However, this project is focused on early childhood developm ent using a limited set of math tasks. Cantlon wants to continu e this work using a broader scope of math skills, such as spati al processing and memory, and follow the children over many years.28. What can we infer about the toy’s release?A. It has raised a storm of applause.B. Girls perform no worse than boys in math.C. Math is a subject difficult to every one of us.D. Women are born with insufficient math abilities.29. What can we learn from the study conducted by Cantlon?A. Boys process math skills more quickly than girls.B. Boys and girls have similar brain in math abilities.C. Boys and girls have similar interest in math.D. Adults have better brain than children in math.30. What will Cantlon most likely agree with?A. Parents should lengthen the time spent with girls.B. Society is causing a greater gender difference in math abilit ies.C. Culture plays a leading role in children’s brain development .D. We should cultivate boys’ and girls’ math abilities equally.31. How will Cantlon further her research?A. By using a wider range of math skills.B. By involving a broader scope of subjects.C. By increasing the complexity of math tasks.D. By following the children until their adulthood.DJonathan Agnew recently described “unofficial interviews” as those where you agree that it’s“between you and I”. And a Ti mes journalist wrote about someone who had “made Jenny a nd I feel so welcome”. They are both intelligent people with th e ability to express ideas fluently and logically. And yet they w rote “I” where they meant “me”.It’s happening more and more. We are scared of the mistake l ike “Terry and me went to the pub”.We’ve all been taught that it should be “Terry and I went to the pub”. Plus we’ve heard t he Queen say “my husband and I” a lot. So we begin to use “and I” even when it should be “and me”.But my point here is not to support the correct usage. It’s the opposite: I want to reject the idea that there’s such a thing as “correct” English at all. Language isn’t like maths, where you c an show that two plus two is four. Language has no fundamen tal rights and wrongs, only conventions. You cannot definitivel y prove that any are “right” and others “wrong”.Sometimes correct language sounds absurd. Look at Ofsted ( Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Ski lls) who came up with a new rule. Primary school children no w have to be taught that “inverted commas” is right, while “sp eech marks” is wrong. You and I know that those terms are int erchangeable. And the child who looks at those marks on the page can see that both make perfect sense. That’s because aprimary school child is more intelligent than the Ofsted turkey who came up with this rule.As the teacher who told me about the ludicrous rule pointed o ut, there is no doubt that in a few years’ time, the “incorrect” te rm will become the “correct” one. But the truly horrible thing a bout an education system like this is that it destroys children’s love of language. It tells them they have to worry about rules, instead of encouraging them to read and write for its own sak e. Let them read for fun and they’ll absorb the rules — or conv entions — anyway. Have them shaking in fear about English t ests, and you’ll increase their insecurity about getting languag e “right”.Then one day that insecurity will have them saying “and I” eve n though they mean “and me”.32. Why do people use “and I” when it should be “and me” ac cording to the text?A. The Ofsted sets a rule.B. “and I” is the correct English.C. The Queen makes a similar mistake.D. People feel insecure about using “and me”.33. What can we learn from paragraphs 3 and 4?A. Rules benefit children’s language learning.B. Language learning is more complicated than maths.C. Language is based on commonly accepted rules.D. A primary school child is smarter than the Ofsted.34. What does the underlined word “ludicrous” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Influential.B. Particular.C. Conventional.D. Ridiculous.35. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude towards the correct English?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Favourable.D. Indifferent.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。

2020年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ASevenhugs HugOneDo you want to improve the quality of your sleep? Sevenhugs has created HugOne that tracks different sleep patterns to help families consistently rest better. There are dozens of devices and tools devoted to monitoring the sleep. But, HugOne is the world’s first family smart home sleep system, which integrates a calculation rule for sleep patterns of children and adults.HugOne is a well-designed product, full of a sense of science and technology. It connects to a number of smaller sensors called “minihugs”, which are placed on the edge of each bed. They monitor the sleep patterns and other data coming from the person sleeping in that bed. The data arethen sent to an app on the smartphone.● The benefits of HugOne include:* Having a smart alarm clock on the app as HugOne learns your sleep cycle and automatically sets and sounds to when the best moment in your sleep cycle is identified.* Monitoring temperature and humidity in your bedroom as well as indoor air quality for the main living space.* Linking with smart lamps and thermostats, allowing users to fall asleep with sunset light and preferred nighttime temperatures, and wake up to sunrise light and preferred daytime temperatures.* Ensuring safety from electronic transmissions when you sleep-when the minihug senses a presence in bed, it shuts off its electronic transmissions and starts recording sleep data and sending them to the app.● The following are selected from customers’ comments:I prefer HugOne, since it’s convenient to use. I simply place the minihug in the corner of my bed under the sheet and it goes to work monitoring my sleep cycle. It’s really good.—Robert Compton● HugOne available for purchase includes:I think HugOne is a humanized product. It’s shareable, and I’ve connected eight minihugs to the HugOne base in my house. All my family members think highly of it.—Chris HanawaltHugOne will provide maximum protection for your sleep.

It controls sleep patterns automatically.B. It creates smart systems for a better sleep.C. It collects sleep data through the minihugs.D. It makes a calculation of the data sensors need.2. According to the passage, HugOne can ______.A. adjust temperature, humidity and air quality in bedroomsB. update the sleep cycles by aid of an alarm clock on the appC. record sleep data when there are electronic transmissions in bedD. help users fall asleep and wake up naturally with preferred temperatures3. The passage is made more believable by ______.A. providing statisticsB. drawing a comparisonC. giving a demonstrationD. using recommendationsBIs homeschooling good or bad? That is a question that many parents ask themselves. In my opinion, homeschooled kids can give reliable answers.Kayla Murray, who lives inGreensboroNorth Carolina, started homeschooling almost eight years ago, after attending two local schools. “Homeschooling is school at home,” like the name says, but it’s not just that/ she says. “You're able to learn more and do more.”Having experienced learning at both school and home, Kayla says that she prefers the latter. “With homeschooling, I can do schoolwork in my pajamas, and no one cares,” she says, “you also have more chances. Earlier this year, my family and I were able to take a short vacation and go to an air show. My siblings and I get to take the day off for our birthdays. This year, I spent that time reading and playing the piano and guitar.”There are, however,drawbacksof being homeschooled, Kayla says, especially “the lack of people”. While she doesn't miss homework, al school, she did enjoy getting to see my friends every day.”Matthew Dimmette, also fromGreensboro, used to be a homeschooler. He now attends public high school.He says being homeschooled is quite different from going to public school. The differences depend on how you arc homeschooled and the things you do. “For me, it wasn't really different in terms of the classes but the school environment was a big change atter hearting at home. says Matthew.Talking about his homeschooling experience, Matthew says the best part of it was being able to learn what he wanted to. Yet the main disadvantage was that he couldn't do many experiments in homeschooling unless taking classes at different places. “My interest in science has been growing quickly in recent years, so I chose to go to public school,” he says.4. What does Kayla like about learning at home?A. She can spend her time more freely.B. She can always stay with her siblings.C. She can play the instruments she likes.D. She can celebrate her birthday at home.5. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Concerns.B. Reasons.C. Changes.D. Problem.6. Why did Matthew choose to go to public school?A. He wanted to make more friends.B. He wanted to do experiments in labs.C. He wanted to take all kinds of classesD.He wanted to experience the school environment7. What in the authors attitude cowards homeschooling?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Uninterested.D. Unclear.CI was so worried about handing my little boy over during his first week of school, but you made it easier. You smiled at him like a mother would at her own child.You showed warmth and your hugs were always on offer.After a day in class with you, Charlie would come home singing. Whenever I hear Do Your Ears Hang Low or see him stretching to the sky when singing about the days of the week, I will think of you.I didn't tell you at the time, but I loved your morning song so much that Iimplementedit in my own class (I'm a teacher, too).When you saw I was troubled, you hugged me with your smile and I knew everything would be OK. You made parents feel as cared for as our children.In the short time I knew you; you taught me about the type of teacher I desire to be. You never seemed disturbed by the mountain of paperwork or impossible work-life balance that comes with the role. Instead, you appeared to embrace every minute.I can't understand why you've been taken from us. Telling Charlie was one of the hardest things I've had to do.I'm not sure he fully understands, but he told me he loved you and has been asking whether your"robot powers"will work in heaven.A friend once told me white feathers are angels telling us that loved ones in heaven are well. On the first day collecting the children without you，a white feather floated through the sleet (雨夹雪). Watching the younger ones bounce and gigle as they tried to catch it was beautiful.I wish I had told you all of this when you were with us.I hope that you knew how you brought happiness to everyone you met and how loved you were. Goodbye, Dear Friend.8. What does the underlined word "implemented" in Paragraph l probably mean?A. Looked back on.B. Looked forward to.C. Thought highly of.D. Made use of.9.

The writer mentioned "white feather" in Paragraph 4 mainly to ______.rm us of the loved one's deathB. remind us it's time for a snowball fightC. tell us the teacher stays in our mind after deathD. warn us of the falling snow when collecting children11. What's the writer's main purpose in writing this article?A. To make a remark on Charlie's teacher.B.To say goodbye to her fellow teacher.C. To take pity on her fellow teacher.D. To recall and show respect for Charlie's teacher.DLast year, 138,000San Franciscoresidents used Airbnb, a popular app designed to connect home renters and travelers. It’s a striking number for a city with a population of about 850,000, and it was enough for Airbnb to win a major victory in local elections, asSan Franciscovoters struck down a debatable rule that would have placed time restrictions and other regulations on short-term rental services.The company fiercely opposed the measure, Proposition F, with a nearly $10 million advertising campaign. It also contacted its San Franciscan users with messages urging them to vote against Proposition F.Most people think of Airbnb as a kind of couch-surfing app. The service works for one-night stays on road trips and longer stays in cities, and it often has more competitive pricing than hotels. It’s a textbook example of the “sharing economy”, but not everyone is a fan.The app has had unintended consequences inSan Francisco. As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last year, a significant amount of renting on Airbnb is not in line with the company’s image: middle-class families putting up a spare room to help make ends meet. Some users have taken advantage of the service, using it to turn their multiple properties into vacation rentals or even full-time rentals. Backers of Proposition F argued that this trend takes spaces off the conventional, better-regulated housing market and contributes to rising costs.“The fact is, widespread abuse of short-term rentals is taking much needed housing off the market and harming our neighborhoods,” said ShareBetter SF, a group that supported Proposition F. Hotel unions have protested the company’s practices inSan Franciscoand other cities, saying that it creates an illegal hotel system.San Franciscois in the middle of a long-term, deeply rooted housing crisis that has seen the cost of living explode. Actually, explode is a generous term. The average monthly rent for an apartment is around $4, 000. Located on a narrow outcropping of land overlooking the bay,San Franciscosimply doesn’t have enough space to accommodate the massive inflow of young, high-salaried tech employees flocking toSilicon Valley.As the Los Angeles Times reported, someSan Franciscoresidents supported the measure simply because it seemed like a way to check a big corporation. Opponents of Proposition F countered that the housing crisis runs much deeper, and that passing the rule would have discouraged a popular service while doing little to solve the city’s existing problems.12. The intention of Proposition F is to ________.A. place time limits in local election.B. set limits on short-term rental.C. strike down a controversial rule.D. urge users to vote against Airbnb.13. What is the negative consequence of Airbnb onSan Francisco?A. It shrinks the living space of middle-class families.B. Users are taken advantage of by the service financially.C. It makes the house market more competitive.D. It indirectly leads to high house rental price.14. The housing crisis inSan Franciscoresults from ________.A. explosion of the living costB. its geographic characteristicsC. generosity of local enterprisesD. inflow of migrant population15. Theauthor’s attitude toward Proposition F is ________.A. objectiveB. supportiveC. negativeD. indifferent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。

A secret that she was ready to reveal on graduation day: she was homeless.Today, six years later, her story of perseverance continues, from a teenager studying by the stove light at motels to Spelman College graduate and medical researcher now starting Yale Medical School.“Homelessness taught me how to work hard, always persevere and never let anything get in my way,” Fearce said recently.The 23-year-old girl made national news in 2013 with her story of success over a difficult situation. Her academic success landed her a full scholarship to Spelman, where she graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry. She has worked full-time for the past two years at the National Institutes for Health in Bethesda, Maryland, doing research on drugs. And this month, Fearce starts Yale Medical School with a fullscholarship to cover living expenses. She expects to be at the Ivy League school for eight years and to graduate with her doctorate and a medical degree. Her longtime goal is a career in psychiatry(精神病学).Fearce's story is kept alive on the home front by the Clayton County school system. In her name, the system annually awards scholarships to local homeless students with good academic records. The scholarships of $250 to $1,000 come from donations collected in the whole country, which ranked first in the state in 2016—2017 in student homelessness with about 2,700 students.Hearing about her helps "the students know what is possible," said Jacqueline Evans, which deals with the problem of student homelessness. “Sometimes, you have to see somebody else to know it can happen to you.”24.Which word can describe Fearce’s attitude to her homelessness?A. Thankful.B. Painful.C. Curious.D. Concerned.25. What did Fearce do in 2018?A. She delivered speeches.B. She settled in Spelman.C. She researched biochemistry.D. She studied drugs carefully.26. How were the scholarships in Fearce’s name gotten?A. Through the government’s funds.B. Through the efforts of Fearce.C. By way of local donations.D. By way of contributions.27. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Chelesa Fearce Lets Out Her SecretB. Fearce’s Story Inspires Many MoreC. Strong Will Makes a Girl Well-knownD. The Homeless Is at Yale Medical SchoolCTired of your ordinary earthly vacations? Some day soon you might be able to board a rocket and get a room with a view of the whole planet — from a hotel in space.At least, that is the sales pitch(高调) of several companies racing to become the first to host guests in orbit on purpose-built space stations."It sounds kind of crazy to us today because it is not a reality yet," said Frank Bunger, founder of U.S. aerospace firm Orion Span, one of the companies vying to take travellers out of this world. “But that's the nature of these things, it sounds crazy until it is normal.”U.S. multimillionaire Dennis Tito became the world's first paying space tourist in 2001, travelling to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket for a reported $20 million. A few others have followed. Since then, companies like Boeing, SpaceX and Blue Origin have been working on ways to bring the stars into reach for more people — opening up a new business frontier for would-be space hoteliers.U.S. space agency NASA announced in June that it plans to allow two private citizens a year to stay at the ISS at a cost of about $35,000 per night for up to a month. The first mission could be as early as 2020.But the growing movement has raised questions about the adequacy of current space laws, which mainly deal with exploration and keeping space free of weapons, not hotels and holidaymakers.“It is difficult now to want to do things in space and get a clear answer from space law,” said Christopher Johnson, a space law adviser at the Secure World Foundation, a space advocacy group. “For something as advanced as hotels in space there is no clear guidance.”28.What does the underlined word “vying” in Para. 3 mean?A. Promising.B. Competing.C. Hesitating.D. Risking.29．Why was Tito mentioned in Para. 4?A. To show he was wealthy enough.B. To praise his contribution.C. To tell us he was very brave.D. To emphasize he took the lead.30．How does the fifth paragraph develop?A. By summary.B. By comparison.C. By listing figures.D. By giving examples.31. What can we learn from Christopher Johnson?A. He opposes space travel.B. He is in charge of a space law.C. It’s urgent to make a space law.D. Space hotels are badly needed.DThe idea that animals can remember past experiences seemed so absurd that few researchers bothered to study it. Surely only humans could be capable of "episodic" memories — recalling a trip to the grocery store last Saturday, for example. We now know that we were mistaken — and a study from the animal world might even help us improve how we treat Alzheimer’s disease(阿兹海默症).Crystal and her students conducted a study of whether animals are capable of episodic memory. First, they trained 13 rats to memorize 12 odours(气味). They built a special rat “area” with 12 stops, numbered 1 to 12, each scented with a different odour. When the rat identified the odour in a particular stop on the route, such as second-to-last or fourth-to-last, it received a reward. Then the researchers changed the number of odours and watched to see if the training had taken hold: would the rats identify the second-to-last and fourth-to-last odour in the sequence(次序), even if the number of odours was different? This ensured that the rats were identifying the odours according to their position in the sequence, not just by smell. "We wanted to know if the animals can remember a lot of items and the order in which those items occur," Crystal said.After a year of these tests, the team found that the rats succeeded in the task about 87 percent of the time. Further tests confirmed that their memories stuck with them, and wasn’t influenced by other memories.The new genetic tools such as gene-editing allow scientists to create rats with an Alzheimer’s-like condition, making them the perfect subjects to test new Alzheimer’s drugs. In the United States alone, the number of people suffering from Alzheimer’s will increase from 5.8 million today to 14 million by 2050 as the population ages. If rats with episodic memory can help to break the Alzheimer’s code, this thief of the past might finally be defeated.32. Which of the following can be an "episodic" memory?A. To work out math problems.B. To imagine a future scene.C. To recall an early experience.D. To speak out a person’s name.33. How did the rats get their reward in the experiment?A. By finishing the twelve stops.B. By making out the smell in a specific stop.C. By drawing a circle in their position.D. By identifying the name of different odours.34. What did Crystal’s team find about the rats?A. They could understand simple words.B. They could hold their attention for long.C. They could memorize the order of items.D. They are not influenced by disturbance.35. In which section of a magazine may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Art.C. Education.D. Science.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读七选五How do you work smarter and keep work-related pressures from getting to you? A number of possibilities exist.1. Take a real vacation. Completely being away from work is one of the best ways to recharge your batteries. Any kind of change of scene will help. Taking a class, helping an elderly relative — anything that lets you get off the boring work will help you feel like yourself again. 36 .2. Work out, no matter what. Giving yourself a pass from working out just because you have a busy day is a terrible idea. 37 . Exercise is a great help for stress. Burnouts become less common when you put yourself first for at least a little while each day.3. 38 . Managers tend to reward their workers for their efforts, even if they are far from perfect. You should do the same for yourself and reward yourself from time to time, too. A movie, a gift for yourself — both add up to helping you feel good about yourself.4. Create. Learning how to create in business or anything else can be a tremendous contributor to feeling in control. Identify a creative attempt to apply yourself to and commit yourself to it. 39 .5. Learn to not be hard on yourself. Guilt is one of the most unproductive emotions that one can experience. If you have not been working as well as you would like, being severely self-critical will not help you improve.40 . Determining to never be addicted to guilt or self-criticism can immediately help you feel better about life and work.A. Value the rewards of managersB. You will quickly begin to feel betterC. If you were the boss, you would reward yourselfD. Then, you can go back to working as hard as everE. Therefore, getting rid of such an idea proves importantF. Rather, it will only make you feel as if you will never do betterG. You will simply find yourself giving up your workouts all the time第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分When October Books, a small bookshop, was moving to a new location down the street, it faced a problem.

2020届高三英语第二次联考试卷及答案解析
2020届高三英语第二次联考试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（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AOur Teen Summer Spanish Program is two weeks of fun, educational excitement that helps students learn Spanish fast. Our Spanish summer program allows our students to learn from highly trained, certified teachers and be absorbed in the language and theculture of Costa Rica.Features include:* Intensive(强化的) daily Spanish classes* Extracurricular classes in dance, cooking, music, and handiwork* Outdoor activities including hiking, camping, rafting, and ziplining(高空滑索)* Homestay with a local Costa Rican family* Volunteer work in needy neighborhoodsOur Teaching Methods:We are proud to use TPRS---Total Physical Response Storytelling---in our curriculum. This innovative method uses strange and amusing stories to teach new vocabulary, increase fluency, and get students involved by giving them the opportunity to alter the details themselves. Because of the silliness, creativity, and repetition involved, TPRS allows students to learn easily and remember information effortlesslyMemorizing vocabulary and listening to lectures on grammar are slow, inefficient ways to learn a new language. The best way to truly learn and commit new material to memory is through conversation. In our Spanish classes, students can expect to speak up to 80% of each class. By speaking in the new language freely and consistently, students can see progress faster because they are using the new grammar and vocabulary that they have learned at the same time. This helps the brain remember the new words and grammar structures for future use, making it much easier to progress.1.What does the program do?A.It offers weekly Spanish classesB.It focuses more on outdoor activitiesC.It gives teachers a chance to receive trainingD.It provides activities about the Spanish culture2.What is the best way to learn a language according to the text?A.Memorizing a larger vocabularyB.Speaking more in the new language.C.Mastering more grammar structuresD.Writing stories to share with others3.What is the purpose of the text?A.To employexperienced Spanish teacherB.To hire foreign volunteers for a programC.To attract teen foreigners to a programD.To introduce language learning methodsBScott and Daniel Harry are enjoying everyday tasks like shopping and washing for the first time following their move to an accommodation (住宿) support house in Kurwongbah, north of Brisbane last year.Disability Services Queensland’s Strengthening Non-Government Organisations project provided an accommodation support model that would enable residents (居住者) like Daniel and Scott to live more independently.The house is just one of many accommodation support services funded (资助)through the project. The five-bedroom house provides 24-hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs, including medical support. Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible, depending on each resident’s requirements.Scott and Daniel, who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, require 24-hour support in all activities of daily living. Before they moved to the house, they lived with their family. Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain(负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.“We were heavyhearted,” says Scott, who is planning to write a book about his life experiences. “But our parents now have a lot moretime for themselves. We now manage ourselves on a day-to-day basis.”Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener, taking care of his own vegetable garden. The men share the house with one other young man, and they go to rugby league games, meeting up with friends.Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah. Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities (设施) has not been without its challenges.“It is an unconventional model of care,” Lee says. “The home is Scott and Daniel’s home, however it is also aworkplace for their support staff. Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”“We have experienced a bit of a learning phase over the last twelve months. However, by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”4. What do we know about the house Scott and Daniel live in now?A. It was built by their parents.B. It can accommodate four residents.C. It belongs to a governmental project.D. It’s located in the center of Brisbane.5. Why did Scott and Daniel’s parents wake up frequently at night?A. To help them do exercise.B. They were making a lot of noise.C. To check on their breathing.D. They were under emotional pressure.6. How did Scott feel while living with his parents?A. A bit guilty.B. Quite happy.C. Very proud.D. Slightly angry.7. What was a challenge while setting up the facilities?A. Lack of fund.B. No workplace.C. Inexperienced staff members.D. Satisfying both staff and residents’ needs.CI got my first bike when I was nine years old. Jimmy, the bike, was my first love. I rode it everywhere. The suburb, the back lanes, the fields and forests, the river paths and swampland were far more exciting than any adventure novel or television series.There’s nothing quite like the relationship between a child and his bicycle and the endless happiness two wheels and a pair of strong legs offer. No video or computer game can replace the liberation of being alone on a bicycle.As parents, to deny children the simple pleasure of riding a bike is a failure of our responsibilities to raise independent and stable young citizens. We should offer our children a healthy alternative to hours in front of an addictive screen. Studies have shown that cycling promotes not only muscle growth but brain growth. Guess which country has children with the best mental health outcomes and is regularly the top of listings of the happiest young people. No surprise it’s theNetherlands, the unquestioned leader among industrial countries in encouraging bicycle use.Our dependence on cars has degraded the public transport system, polluted our sky, led to the untimely death of thousands every year, and denied children safe access to their suburbs. A recent study found that 69% of children were accompanied to school. The same study found that a similar number of parents drove to work.In some regions ofJapan, when children start their first year of school, parents are expected to walk with them for the first few weeks, introducing them to residents and shopkeepers along the chosen route, letting the community take care of these children. However, driving children to school isproscribed. Children can choose to ride a bike or walk to school after they are familiar with the community, and it’s the community’s role to keep them safe.Therefore, I strongly advise the government to provide better infrastructure (基础设施). Build separated cycle lanes, decrease speed limits, and design street scapes that favour people over cars. The results will be less pollution, quieter suburbs, a healthier population and, best of all, happy and independent children.8. What can we infer about the author from the text?A. He was addicted to computer games.B. He liked taking adventurous trips in nature.C. He had great fun exploring the outside by cycling.D.He got his first birthday present at the age of nine.9. Why does the author mention theNetherlandsin Paragraph 3?A. To introduce his good way of raising independent children.B. To illustrate the great influence riding has on mental health.C. To stress the importance of being physically and mentally healthy.D. To explain cycling does best in city development in theNetherlands.10. What does the underlined word “proscribed” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Recommended.B. Protected.C. Delayed.D. Forbidden.11. How does the author mainly support his idea?A. By analyzing causes.B. By listing examples.C.By giving definitions.D. By analyzing scientific data.DWhen I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices (装置) tell the time — which is why, if youlook around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007. This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions — but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planesacross the world.Watches are now classified as “investments” (投资). A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly £ 350,000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from £ 15,000 to £ 30,000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that £ 350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times.12. The author don’t need another watch because ________.A. he don’t like wearing a watchB. he has mobile phone and can ask someone for helpC. he has no sense of timeD. he thinks watches too expensive13. It seems ridiculous to the writer that________.A. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sellB. expensive clothes sell better than cheap onesC. cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive onesD. people dive 300 metres into the sea14. What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?A. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.B. It’s hard for the industry to beat its competitors.C. It targets rich people as its potential customers.D. It’s easy for theindustry to reinvent cheap watches.15. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Timex or Rolex?B. My Childhood TimexC. Watches? Not for Me!D. Watches----a Valuable Collection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。

AFive years after a deadly earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, recovery remains years away.More than 16,000 people died in the disaster and more than 470,000 were displaced (移动) from their homes, says the Japanese Red Cross Society. Over 2,500 people are still missing and presumed (推测) dead. After pressure from survivors, the Japanese Coast Guard began underwater searches for the missing.In Fukushima, more than 100,000 families still cannot return home, says the Red Cross Society. This is because of radioactive contamination (污染) from the damaged Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.In Japan, the disaster is known as ＂3-1-1＂ , marking the date five years ago.It was really three disasters rolled into one.＂It started with an earthquake devastating (毁灭；破坏) in itself, then the tsunami, and then the radiation from the nuclear plant,＂said Shioko Goto, a Japan expert at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. Goto said the disaster showed theworld, ＂Japanese resilience (快速恢复的能力) and Japanese unity.＂But it also showed shortcomings. Among the most notable, the long time it took to stabilize the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant after it was flooded from the tsunami, Goto said. That process took eight months. Another, Japan’s dependence on nuclear power, she said. The disaster forced Japan to close all of its nuclear power plants, leaving parts of the country without electricity.Goto offered up one major difference from the last major Japanese disaster, the 1995 Kobe Earthquake. In 2020, social media was everywhere, she said. Social media offered up plenty of ＂unfounded rumors and fear-mongering (制造恐慌),＂ Goto said.But it also kept pressure on Japanese authorities to do more. Chikara Yoshida lost his only son, a 43-year-old volunteer fireman, on March 11, 2020. He and his daughter posted a petition (请愿书) on Facebook to restart underwater searches.

And you’d be wise not to expect it. All the research I’ve done has convinced me that it’s not going to happen.As parents, we don’t consider our holiday gifts an ＂exchange relationship＂since we know the time, money, and effort we put in to buy them. But kids have a different view. One mom told me that when she asked her 16-year-old son to thank her for buying him a cellphone, he said, ＂But that’s what moms should do, isn’t it?＂From a teenager’s view, it’s a pa rent’s responsibility to take care of the family, and playing Santa is part of the job. According to Yarrow Dunham, Yale’s assistant professor of Psychology, ＂When teenagers code it that way, a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily —it’s just mom and dad’s living up to their obligation.＂Kids can’t know how blessed they are unless they have a basis for comparison. We need to give our children the gift of a wider world view. Take them to a soup kitchen instead of to the mall. Become the secret Santa for a needy family. Show by example that gratitude isn’t about stuff —which ultimately can’t make any of us happy anyway.It’s about realizing how lucky you are.Set up a family ritual at bedtime where kids describe three things that made them grateful. When kids go off to college, you can text them a picture of something that inspires your appreciation each week. Whether it’s a friend, a snowflake, or a sunset, the spirit of the photos will help you and them see the world differently.Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the goodness in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them. And we can all learn together that the things that really matter aren’t on sale at a department store.32.
