2020年7月浙江省普通高中学业水平考试英语仿真模拟卷01第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

AIt was Monday. Mrs Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.Considering that there was no better way, Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it, "Give my dog half a pound of meat." Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, "Take this to the butcher(卖肉者), and he's going to give you your lunch today."Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and pleasantly did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.At midday, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers.However, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, "This is a small dog. Why does Mrs Smith give it so much meat to eat today?"Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!21.When Mrs Smith's dog was hungry, what did she give to the dog?A. Some chicken.B. Half a pound of meat.C.A hot dog.D.A piece of paper with some words on it.22. Mrs Smith treated her little dog quite _______.A. rudelyB. proudlyC. friendlyD. angrily23.From its experience, the dog found that _______.A.only the paper with Mrs Smith's words on it could bring it meatB.a piece of paper could bring it half a pound of meatC.the butcher would give the meat to it whenever he saw itD.Mrs Smith would pay for the meat it got from the butcherBAn experimental clean-up device called RemoveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net around a dummy(仿真的) satellite, simulating a technique that could one clay collect spaceborne garbage.The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration of space clean-up technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.Millions of pieces of space junk are turning around in orbit, the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashing with a satellite can cause critical(严重的) damage.Various companies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into low-Earth orbit, already the most crowded area.The RemoveDEBRIS experiment is run by a company and researchers led by the U. K.’s Surrey Space Centre and includes Airbus, Airbus-owned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and Fiance’s ArianeGroup.Guglielmo Aglietti, director of the Surrey Space Centre, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRIS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris(碎片) can be dragged out of orbits. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long.The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coining months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris.There are still enormous barriers to clear before operational clean-up tasks are underway, he said, and the most discouraging is figuring out how to fund such projects.Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said, "The challenge will lie in persuading the relevant authorities to sponsor these tasks." Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few clean-up tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.24.What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite?A.Disposing of space wastes.B.Demonstrating space technology.C.Imitating a developing technique.D.Solving serious junk problems.25.How does the RemoveDEBRIS satellite work?A.By throwing a net to take the junk from orbits.B.By fastening it to the main satellite tightly.C.By dragging satellites up to 10 meters long.D.By targeting large pieces of junk carefully.26.What does the underlined word “sponsor” in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Accomplish.B.Support.C.Oppose.D.Provide.27.What’s the best title for the text?A.A Critical Issue: Junk in SpaceB.How RemoveDEBRIS Is DevelopedC.Why the RemoveDEBRIS Satellite Is InventedD.RemoveDEBRIS Collects Space Junk for the First TimeCWhile visiting the North Pole in winter may not be at the top of your list, the ever-changing ICEHOTEL, which opened its doors to visitors on December 14 this year, may change your mind. Lying 200 km north of the Arctic Circle in Jukkasjärvi, the hotel, which is carved entirely from ice, is rebuilt annually, with each getting increasingly beautiful and impressive.The 29-year-old tradition began accidentally in 1989, after Jukkasjärvi residents organized an art show in a5.5-square-meter ice house to try to call tourists’ attention to the remote village during the freezing winter months. The exhibition was a huge success, attracting many day visitors. However, it was not until a groupof adventurous souls arrived with sleeping bags, announcing their intention to spend the night inside the house, that the idea of the frozen hotel was born.The ICEHOTEL has come a long way since its beginnings. It covers an area of over 5,500 square meters. The planning begins months earlier in March when about 5,000 tons of ice are harvested from the river and transferred to cold storage, where they sit till the beginning of winter. Construction begins in earnest in November, when about 100 workers come to the region. By December, the unique frozen accommodation is ready to open for business.Regardless of whether visitors select the luxury carved suites or the basic ice rooms, the temperature is always set to a bone-chilling -5°C! That is why guests are advised to lie close inside warm sleeping bags and wear gloves and winter hats all night. Not surprisingly, most end up spending just a single night at this unique hotel before moving on to the conventional, and warmer, cabins nearby.In addition to the unique rooms, the hotel also offers guests fun activities like snowshoeing, or dog sledding, and for those brave enough to suffer through the below freezing temperatures — overnight wilderness camping! The hotel’s single restaurant serves food, while the drinks are always chilled to perfection in the world-famous ICEBAR!28.Why did Jukkasjärvi residents organize an art show in 1989?A.To attract tourists.B.To follow a tradition.C.To excite adventurers.D.To experience cold.29.How to deal with tons of ice harvested from the river in March?A.Carve them roughly.B.Keep them with cold storage.C.Design unique forms.D.Construct them slowly.30.What’s the best title for the passage?A.ICEHOTEL, a Wise ChoiceB.ICEHOTEL Is in the Arctic CircleC.ICEHOTEL Has a Unique SceneryD.ICEHOTEL Opens for the 29th Year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7月浙江省普通高中学业水平考试英语仿真模拟卷03第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

AI began working in journalism(新闻工作)when I was eight. It was my mother's idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“ None.”“ Where did you go?”“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“ What did you do?”“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“ You just stood there?”“ Didn't sell a single one.”“ My God, Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I've decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence(自信), and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother I'd changed my mind. I didn't want to make a success in the magazine business.“ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you'll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father's plain workman's life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband's people for true life and love.21.Why did the boy start his job young?A.He wanted to be famous in the futureB.The job was quite easy for himC.His mother had high hopes for himD.The competition for the job was fierce22.From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _____.A.excitedB.interestedC.ashamedD.disappointed23.What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?A.She forced him to continueB.She punished himC.She gave him some moneyD.She changed her plan答案：CDA解析：21.细节理解题根据"She wanted me to "make something" of myself and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition."可知,男孩年龄很小时就开始参加工作的原因是他妈妈对他抱有很高的希望,故答案为C.22.推理判断题根据"My God, Russell!"可知,妈妈对他的行为感觉很失望,故答案为D23.细节理解题根据"She replied," you will become a good-for-nothing." She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines."可知,当男孩决定放弃工作时,他妈妈坚持让他继续干下去.故答案为ABHave you ever noticed that after about 6 months your perfectly new 1,000 dollar smartphone begins to slow down? What if I told you that it's a sales strategy that pretty much all phone companies use to force people into buying new phones?In late 2015, when Lisa Young was in charge of iOS security and beta software testing teams, her boss revealed a dark secret to her, saying that they were using a new strategy that would purposely slow down older phones every time the phone would upgrade to the latest operating system. This new method would force customers to buy the latest phone model, increasing sales by 70%.She was a little disturbed to hear the news, but she just kept her head down and continued to do her job. After a while, the guilt of being involved with such a shady sales model started to weigh heavily on her. "How could a multi-billion dollar corporation continue to take advantage of the public like this?" she thought. In March of 2017, she contacted a reporter from CNN to finally leak the information concerning Apple slowing down phones.The scandal (丑闻) went viral overnight, and every media outlet in the world, in every language was talking about it, making it one of the biggest controversies in consumer electronics history. A week later, she was secretly let go after her 8 years of service. Although she was taking a huge risk going against one of the most powerful corporations in the world, she felt a sense of relief exposing it. The public deserved to know and the fear became her motivation to find a way to destroy their shady sales model.Several of her colleagues were fired with her. They quietly united, and after a year of extensive research they designed a unique product called CircaCharge that would reverse the negative effects of "software updates". Phone companies have recently got wind of their overnight success with CircaCharge and are trying to do everything they can to make this product illegal and ban it forever. Lisa and her team have made unbelievable progress inincreasing battery life, battery health, and optimizing phone performance, and they will continue to develop new technology that will beat phone companies at their own game until they change their ways.24.What can we learn about the new method mentioned in paragraph 2?A.It is essential in the latest operating system.B.It benefits users in upgrading their old phone.C.It fools customers into buying the latest model on purpose.D.It is a successful sales strategy for advertising new softwares.25.What does the underlined phrase "kept her head down" in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Shook her head.B.Nodded to show approval.C.Pretended to know something.D.Tried not to show she knows something.26.From the passage, we know ________.A.it's too tough for Lisa and her team to increase battery lifeB.CircaCharge helps phone companies with software updatesC.Lisa struggles to force phone companies to change their current waysD.phone companies find it essential to ban their illegal software for updating答案：CDC解析：24.根据文章第二段中的"they were using a new strategy... This new method would force customers to buy the latest phone model, increasing sales by 70%"可知，新的策略故意欺骗消费者并迫使消费者去买最新款的手机。

AI used to be crazy about the hunting season. The excitement of waiting for a prey(猎物)and the pride of showing off the kill fascinated me. However, everything changed after that cold morning.Early on that day of the late fall, I set off alone for the woods, packing a gun, a bottle of hot coffee and three thick sandwiches. After finding the fresh deer’s tracks in the snow, I settled down behind a little bush.I sat there for about an hour. It was then that I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! There was no cover nearer to him than 30 yards. Surely I couldn’t miss! I waited for him to realize I was there. I waited fo r him to be shocked and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid—how else can you explain it? Well, that deer walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me!What happened next is hard to believe, but it’s true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly young deer comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head. And he liked to be scratched. In fact, he practically asked for more. Then, I fed him my sandwich! Yes, I know what a deer eats, but that deer ate my sandwich. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.When I was about half way back, I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam(撞击)a few seconds later. Those two shots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head.21. Why didn’t the author kill the deer?A. He preferred to shoot a shy deer.B. He was fooled by the tricky deer.C. He was sympathetic for the deer.D. He was too shocked to shoot the deer.22. What most probably happened to the deer in the end?A. Other hunters shot the deer to death.B. Other hunters scratched the deer’s head too.C. The deer managed to escape from being shot.D. The deer would become friends with the author.23. What’s the best title of this text?A.A Hunting in Late Fall.B.A Lovely Deer.C. The Cruel Killing.D. The Last Hunting.【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。

Many people view climate change as a distant threat. But having them imagine the tangible (有形的) consequences of resulting droughts or floods may help change this idea and encourage pro-environmental behavior, a new study suggests.Researchers asked 93 college students to read a report on temperature anomalies (异常),floods and other climate change-related events that have affected the island. The scientists then asked 62 of the participants to write down three ways in which such phenomena might impact their future lives. Half the people in that group were instructed to imagine such situations in detail. The remaining 31 students did not complete either the writing or imagining steps, acting as a control group.All the participants then rated their ideas of climate change risks by responding to questions such as "How likely do you think it is that climate change is having serious impacts on the world?" They used a scale from 1 ("very unlikely") to 7 ("very likely"). The average score was higher among subjects who had been asked to envisiondetailed situations than among those who had not. The results were later confirmed in a second experiment involving 102 participants.Participants in the first experiment who had imagined the effects of climate change were more likely to say they would use air conditioning in an energy-saving manner. In the second experiment, nearly two thirds of people in the visualizing (想象) group signed up to help clean a beach, compared with 43 percent in the nonvisualizing one. And when offered a choice of a vegetarian (素食主义的) or nonvegetarian lunch box, nearly half the visualizers selected the environmentally friendlier meatless choice-compared with about 28 percent of the nonvisualizers.The researchers did not track people to see if they behaved differently in their day-to-day lives-something further studies should examine, says study co-author Wen-Bin Chiou. Moreover, the research "should be done again in other places with other populations," says Robert Gifford, a professor of psychology at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, who was not involved in the work.The findings could be applied to raise public concern about climate change, Chiou says. For example, he suggests that news reports about the phenomenon could include vivid descriptions of its effects on people's lives and ask readers to imagine experiencing such impacts. Having virtual-reality demonstrations (展示) in local science museums of the consequences of climate change would be another way of putting the research into practice, Chiou adds.27.Which of the following statements about the study is true?A.Only one experiment was carried out for the study.B.Professor Robert Gifford played a key role in the study.C.The control group only completed the writing step in the experiment.D.Participants asked to imagine detailed effects scored higher than those who weren't.28.Future studies will probably be about whether ______.A.it is true of other populations in other placesB.more money will be donated to the people affected by climate change-related eventsC.people choose vegetarian lunch boxes in their daily livesD.climate change will cause people to think about joining in a control group29.To put the research into practice, Wen-Bin Chiou suggests that ______.A.the government call on people to live a low-carbon lifeB.people use air conditioning in an energy-saving mannerC.people experience possible effects of climate change through virtual reality facilitiesD.news reports provide vivid descriptions of the effects of climate change on people's lives30.The passage mainly tells us that ______.A.different people may have different reactions to climate changeB.different forms of climate change may affect people's ideas in different waysC.people may change their behavior after thinking about the vivid impacts of climate changeD.college students show great concern for the people affected by climate change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。
