Fred and his sister, Adele, learned to dance when they were very young. Their mother took them to New York to study dance. They performed in their first professional（专业的）show when Fred was ten years old and Adele was twelve. Later, as teenagers, the two danced in many shows throughout the United States. Their first big success was on Broadway in 1917.The Astaires -- as they were known -- quickly became Broadway stars. During the nineteen twenties, they sang and danced in eleven different shows. They also performed in England. In 1932, Adele Astaire married a British man, and stopped performing. But Fred did not____his dream. He would go on alone, in the movies.Fred Astaire had the best skill among all dancers in history. He danced up walls and on the ceiling in the film Royal Wedding. He danced on rooftops in The Belle of New York. He danced on roller skates in Shall We Dance?Fred Astaire made all this look easy. But it was not. He said: "Dancing is a sweaty job. You cannot just sit down and do it. You have to get up on your feet. It takes time to get a dance right, to create something memorable. I always try to get to know my dance so well that I do not have to think.”In 19, Fred Astaire won a special award for his film work from America's Motion Picture Academy. He also won awards from the television industry for a number of his television programs.Fred stopped dancing in 40. He was more than seventy years old at the time. He said a dancer could not continue dancing forever. He said he did not want to disappoint（使失望）anyone, even himself. He danced again in public only once after that. It was with another great male dancer, Gene Kelly, in the movie "That's Entertainment, Part Two". Fred Astaire and his first wife, Phyllis, had three children. Phyllis died in 24. Twenty-five years later, Fred married race horse rider Robyn Smith. Fred Astaire died on June 22, 1987. He was eighty-eight years old. He was called the greatest dancer in the world. His dancing was called perfect. And moviegoers everywhere will remember him as a great performer whose work will live forever in his films.1．The first paragraph is mainly about_________.A．Fred Astaire’s first success B．Fred Astaire’s educationC．Fred Astaire’s early life D．Fred Astaire’s family2．What does the underlined word “ forgo” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Get over B．Set up C．Go ahead D．Give up3．What Fred Astaire said in Paragraph4 shows that ___________.A．he knew his dance was wonderfulB．he thought dancing was not difficultC．he devoted much time and effort to danceD．he had ways to make people remember him4．What is the correct time order of the following events?a .Fred Astaire’s first wife died.b .Fred’s sister Adele stopped performing.c .Fred Astaire performed with Gene Kelly in a movie.d .Fred Astaire won an award from America’s Motion Picture Academy.A．abcd B．bdac C．dcba D．cbadB14、Five teenagers from Sarasota, Florida, are making music from garbage. The Garbage-Men band’s instruments are made from old things. The guitars are boxes. The horn (喇叭) is made from pipes . The keyboard is formed from old bottles.The band started about two years ago. Jack, who was in eighth grade at the time, decided to make a homemade guitar. After some hard work, he ended up building it from a cereal box, a big ruler and some little sticks. After Jack showed his guitar to his friend Ollie, Ollie had the idea to make a band using other homemade instruments as a way to suggest people recycle old things. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the rubbishbox,” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually recycle old things.”Ollie, 15, plays the drums made from rubbish cans. Evan, 14, plays the guitar; Harrison, 15, plays the horns and the violin; and Austin, 16, plays the keyboard. They make up the band The Garbage-Men and play at local parties around. They wand to help people get interested in recycling old things. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it’s really easy for people to understand,” Jack says.

D．Good manners.D16、What will man be like in the future---in 5,000 or even 50,000 years? We can only make guesses, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average(平均), men are about three inches(英尺)taller. Again, in the modern world we use brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the br ain’s capacity(容量).As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, especially the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are used very often. In fact, we use them so much that they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand? we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald(光头的).Perhaps all this shows that future man will not be a very attractive being to look at! This may well be true. No matter how great the change is, future man will still have a lot in common with us.1．The passage mainly tells us that ________A．man’s life will be different in the futureB．future man will look quite different from usC．man is growing taller as time passes2．Which parts of man mentioned in the passage will change EXCEPTA．weight and earsB．brain and heightC．arms and legs3．The change in the man’s size of the forehead is probably because ________A．he makes use only 20% of the brain’s capacityB．the other 80% of his brain will grow with timeC．he will use his brain more and more as time goes on4．The underlined word “sensitive” means ________ in Chinese.A．纤细的B．灵敏的C．笨拙的5．What is TRUE about a human being in the future?A．He may be hairless because hair is no longer useful.B．He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C．His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t have to make use of them.E17、Alyssa Carson is a 14-year-old girl. She comes from Louisiana, the USA．Alyssa Carson wants to become the first person to visit Mars! As a space fan, she has taken part in the Space Camp in Alabama twelve times. Alyssa Carson is the fist person to take part in all three NASA（美国国家航空航天局）Space Camps in the world. This 14-year-old girl has been training to be an astronaut for nine years and decided to become the first person to land on Mars. The Louisiana teenager speaks Spanish, French and Chinese.Why does Alyssa want to visit Mars? “It’s a place that no one has been to before. I want to take that first step,” Alyssa said. She calls herself the Mars Generation. NASA believes that the little girl will make it. Her code name in NASA is “Blueberry” and she may be on a Mars mission(访问团) in2033 if all goes well. Alyssa’s father thinks that if she does go on a mission on Mars, he may never see her again. But for Alyssa, it is something that she has dreamed about since she was five years old.She told the BBC that she wants to encourage other children to achieve their dreams. She said, “I don’t want one failure on the way to stop me from going to Mar s.”1．Alyssa Carson comes from according to the passage.A．France B．America C．Russia D．Mars2．The passage says that Alyssa can speak languages.A．two B．three C．four D．five3．We learn from the passage that Alyssa’s dream is to .A．become the first person to visit Mars B．join in the fourth NASA space campC．wish children to realize their dreams D．take good care of her father at home4．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Alyssa has been an astronaut for 9 years.B．Mars is a place nobody has been to so far.C．Alyssa’s father has not seen her for long.D．Alyssa may be on a Mars mission at present.5．The best title of the passage may be “” .A．A Visit to Mars B．The Space Camp C．The First Step D．A Girl’s DreamF18、If we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex(性别) in public instead of in secret.Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don’t fall into the ditchof early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.1．（小题1）We should keep touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT _______.A．with a good state of mind B．in real friendshipC．in public D．in secret2．（小题2）What does the underlined word “ditch” mean?A．波浪B．泥潭C．圈套D．迷惑3．（小题3）The main idea of the passage is to _______.A．tell students to keep away from early loveB．tell students how to make friendsC．teach boys how to talk with girlsD．give some advice on how to associate between boys and girlsⅤ.书面表达19、书面表达经过两年多的初中生活，相信你各方面都有很大的变化。

So, the world became his school.With great interest, he read everything he could, listened to the town elders andlearned about the world beyond his hometown.“There’s so much to learn,” he’d say.“Though we’re born stupid,only the stupid remain that way.” He decided that none of his children would be refused an education.Therefore, Stanley insisted that we should learn at least one new thing each day.Though, as children,we thought this was crazy, w e’d still do that . And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we learned. We would talk about the news of theday. Sometimes the news was unimportant,but it was always taken seriously.Stanley would listen carefully and discuss it with us.Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning.“Felice,” he’d say,“tell me what you learned today.”“I learned that the population of Denmark is ....”Silence.Stanley was thinking about what was said.“The population of Denmark. Hmm.Well ⋯” he ’d say.“Get the map ,let ’s see where Denmark is.” And the whole family went on a search for Denmark.This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinnerended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children,we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and joining in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting what we learned,confirming our value, Stanley was surely our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the mostfamous educators. They were imparting(授) what Stanley knew all along — the value of continual learning.His skills have served me well all my life.Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Denmark might prove useful.34.

I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.Deep, deep down as k myself,“Who do you want to be?” Not what, but who. I’m talking about thinking it out for yourself,“What makes you happy?”You have to think outside the box. That the point of being on this Earth if all’s what I believe, after all. What’s you want to be is be killed and avoid trouble?We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Don’t break the law, but break the rules.I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted toact. I wanted to be a star in films. Everyone had the same thought that I couldn ’t be done. They said,“Look at this body, you have this huge monstrous( 巨大的 )body, you’re overly developed. ”They thought I wouldn’t f it into movies. But I didn ’t listen to them. Those were their rules. I was completely certain that I could doit.Then I got my big break （重要机）in Conanthe Barbarian . That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.On that movie, the director said,“If we didn ’t have Schwarzenegger,we would have to build one.” Then when I did The Terminator (者), I said,“I’ll beback⋯” One of the famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy accent（声调） .

Don’t be afraid of making decisions. You can’t be paralyzed(吓倒) with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You can push becauseyou believe in yourself and your imagination.

2020年扬州市教育学院附属中学高三英语二模试题及参考答案
2020年扬州市教育学院附属中学高三英语二模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AAs the MOOC craze continues to explode, anyone interested in taking an online course faces a tricky question: Which course to take? Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.(1)What is your learning style?Many MOOCs are video-based. Other courses use presentation formats. Some also require participation in group work. If you want to stay motivated during your course, think about how you enjoy learning.Are you a visual learner, preferring to use images to understand a topic? If so, a video-based course will work well for you. If you are a verbal learner who gains new information by speaking and writing, try a text-based course with lots of note-taking. Social learners, meanwhile, will thrive in forum discussions and project-based assessment.(2)Are you ready to become a full-time student?Be realistic about the time that you can commit to your online studies. Participating in an online course can take as much time and commitment as a class-based program. Check the course requirements and make a plan around your current schedule.(3) Does the course really meet your needs?Whether you are interested in a professional qualification or want to take a personal development course like yoga, there is a MOOC for you. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of taking lots of free courses in everything that you ever wanted to learn. Before you start a course, think about the end goal. Is the course aimed at beginners or advanced learners? Why do you need this qualification?(4) Do you need a support group?Some people learn best from seeing how others approach the problem. If you are such as learner, you will need to supplement your online lessons with an in-person support group.(5) What kind of certification will you get?Take time to find out what kind of certification is available upon completion of the course, and how you can prove your learning to others - for example, certificates, transcripts or digital badges.1. What kind of MOOC's does the author recommend to verbal learners?A. A video-based course.B. A text-based course.C. A forum-based discussion.D. A project-based assessment.2. What kind of learners need an in-person support group?A. Learners who prefer individual work.B. Learners who are in great need of a certificate.C. Learners who are too busy to become a full-time student.D. Learners who learn best from observing how others address the problem.3. What is the passage mainly about?A. Picking the right MOOC's for you.B. Deciding your learning style.C. Taking the right course you need.D. Choosing a suitable support group.BYou run into the grocery store to quickly pick up your item. You grab what you need and head to the front of the store. After quickly sizing up the check-out lines, you choose the one that looks fastest. You chose wrong. People getting in other lines long after you have already checked out and headed to the parking lot. Why does this seem to always happen to you?Well, as it turns out, it's just math that is working against you. A grocery store tries to have enough employees at the checkout lines to get all their customers through with minimum delay. But sometimes, like on a Sunday afternoon, they get super busy. Because most grocery stores don't have the physical space to add more checkout lines, their system becomes overburdened. Some small interruption — a price check, a particularly talkative customer — will have downstream effects, holding up the entire line behind them.If there are three lines at the store, these delays will happen randomly at different registers (收银台). Think about the probability. The chances of your line being that fastest one are only one in three, which means you have a two-thirds chance of not being in the fastest line. So it's not just in your mind: Another line is probably moving faster thanyours.Now, mathematicians have come up with a good solution, which they call queuing theory, to this problem: Just make all customers stand in one long snaking line, called a serpentine line, and serve each person at the front with the next available register. With three registers, this method is about three times faster on average than the more traditional approach. This is what they do at most banks, Trader Joe's, and some fast-food places. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow everyone down a little bit.4. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Queuing in a line.B. A shopping experience.C. A rush in the morning.D. Cutting in a line.5. According to the article, what may cause delays in checking out?A. The lack of employees in the grocery store.B. Some unexpected delays of certain customers.C. The increasing items bought by customers.D. A worsening shopping system of the store.6. What is the solution given by mathematicians?A. Employing more workers for checking out.B. Limiting the number of queuing people.C. Making only one line available.D. Always standing in the same line.7. What's the principle behind the queuing theory?A. To pursue the maximum benefit.B. To leave success or failure to luck.C. To avoid the minimum loss.D. To spread the risk equally among everyone.CZaki was small for his twelve years, and he was angry being treated as a child. Farid, his older brother, had been looked upon as a man long before he was Zaki’s age. Every day Farid and the other young Bahraini men went out in their wooden boats to dive for oysters (牡蛎). Many times Zaki begged to go along, but Faridalways refused to let him.So every day Zaki would go to the shallow water to practice. His grandfather, a former diver, would watch him and advise him. All morning, Zaki would practice diving beneath the waves. Every afternoon, again and again he would go underwater and hold his breath. With each day’s practice, his diving improved and he could hold his breath a little while longer. Soon Zaki felt as much at home in the water as he did out of it.Zaki rose early one day. He wanted to compete with his brother. They dived beneath the waves. Zaki opened his eyes and found himself looking into his brother’s face. Farid was smiling with confidence. Slowly, the smile was disappearing from Farid’s face. As more seconds passed, a worried look appeared on Farid’s face. Farid wasrealizing that Zaki could possibly beat him. Looking into Farid’s eyes, Zaki suddenly understood what losing could mean to his brother. Never would the villagers allow him to live it down. He would be laughed at by losing to a little child. Almost without thinking, Zaki kicked his feet and rose to the surface of the water a second before Farid’s head appeared beside him.The men around them cheered and patted Farid on the back. Farid, however, put his arm around Zaki’s shoulders. “Today,” Farid announced, “we shall have a new diver among us.” Then quietly, for Zaki’s ears alone, he said “Thank you, my brother.” And Zaki knew that they both had learned that it takes more than strength to makea man.8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Zaki’s grandfather was a good diver.B. Zaki liked staying at home every day.C. Zaki practised hard in the water daily.D. Zaki’s grandfather encouraged him to dive.9. Which of the following best describes Zaki according to paragraph 3?A. Considerate.B. Ambitious.C. Confident.D. Adventurous.10. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Farid beat his little brother easily.B. Zaki was as strong as his brother.C. Zaki regretted losing the competition.D. Both Farid and Zaki had grown up.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Farid’s PrideB. Zaki’s ChallengeC. Brothers’ CompetitionD. Grandfather’s AdviceDI started out in life with few advantages. I didn't graduate from high school. I worked at menial (不体面的) jobs. I had limited education, limited skills and a limited future.And then I began asking, "Why are some people more successful than others?" This question changed my life.Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement(成就). It seems that the reasons have been discussed and written about for more than two thousand years, in everypossible way. One quality that most philosophers, teachers and experts agree on is the importance of self-discipline (自律). As Al Tomsik summarized it years ago, "Success is tons of discipline."Some years ago, I attended a conference in Washington. It was the lunch break and I was eating at a nearby food fair. The area was crowded and I sat down at the last open table by myself, even though it was a table for four.A few minutes later, an older gentleman and a younger woman who was his assistant came along carrying trays of food, obviously looking for a place to sit. With plenty of room at my table, I immediately invited the older gentleman to join me. He was hesitant (犹豫), but I insisted. Finally, thanking me as he sat down, we began to chat over lunch.It turned out that his name was Kop Kopmeyer. As it happened, I immediately knew who he was. He was a legend in the field of success and achievement. Kop Kopmeyer had written four large books, each of which contained 250 success principles that he had obtained from more than fifty years of research and study. I had read all four books from cover to cover, more than once.After we had chatted for a while, I asked him the question that many people in this situation would ask, "Of all the one thousand success principles that you have discovered, which do you think is the most important?”He smiled at me, as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied, without hesitating, "The most important success principle of all was stated by Thomas Huxley many years ago. He said, 'Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.'"He went on to say, "There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experience, but without self-discipline, none of them work."12. Why did the writer ask the question in Paragraph 2 ?A. Because he wasn't satisfied with himself.B. Because he was a person of self-discipline.C. Because he dislike those successful people.D. Because he wanted to share his idea on success.13. What made the writer invite the older gentleman to join him ?A. His great kindness.B. The gentleman's fame.C. His eagerness for success.D. The gentleman's habit.14. What are the four large books about ?A. Personal changesB. The secret of successC. Sayings of wisdomD. The gentleman's manners.15. What's the best title for the text ?A. The Magic of ReadingB. An Unexpected ConversationC. A Question that Changed MyLifeD. The Power of Self-discipline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。

Growing up at a distance from my unfriendly father meant I always doubted his feelings for me. Until his final few days, I grew up completely lacking(缺少) hugs. Neither of my parents was the cuddly(令人想拥抱的) type. Greetings including kissing embarrassed me, and hugging generally just made me feel l6 .Then one hug changed all that. One month before my 40th birthday my dad had a heart disease. As he came round, days later, he grabbed me and 17 me so hard that I had to push to keep my head from pressing down on his chest.It was a hug to make up for all those we had 18 had. Days later as he slowly started to gain strength he told me for the first time that he loved me, and through my 19 I told him I loved him too.I began planning how to bake(烘焙) him better -- with carrot 20 , victoria sponges, jelly and ice cream. And I imagined wheeling him 21 the park and feeding him home-made goodies. Then he died.I felt cheated. All my life I had wondered whether my dad loved me -- I doubted it. Just as I got proof that he did, he 22 .My parents split up when I was two years old and, 23 I had monthly contact with my dad, usually, he, my bitter stepmother and I counted the hours until I could go home again.The weekends at my father's house felt 24 .

A hug also confirms that you are a lovable being. Months after dad's deathI somewhat realized that his lack of hugs said more than about him than me. My father was not a(n) 28 man and I was, therefore, perhaps, a lovable being.Once I realized my feelings changed from those of a needy child to ones of a proud daughter. Looking at my father more objectively (客观) 29 me to view him clearly:he was a man of few words but kind and modest,Dad's hug had a deep effect on me. It carried me along a path from a 30 to an adult, at last I am my own woman and one who loves nothing better than a good old-fashioned hug.16. A. excited B. pleased C. proud D. uncomfortable17.
