AFrom virtual tours to e-learning tools, museums and artgalleries have been sharing resources using digital platforms to continue to connect with the public, share collections and stories, and support those who are vulnerable〔脆弱的〕during closures and the COVID-19 crisis.Hastings Museum and Art GalleryHastings Museum and Art Gallery is a family friendly museum in Hastings with a diverse collection of 97,000 objects of local history, fine a d decorative arts and natural sciences. To deal with the COVID-19 outbreak, we have launched a digital museum via the Twitter hashtag #HastingsDigitalMuseum as well as via out Facebook and Instagram pages.The British LibraryOver the past two years, our imaging specialists have beentrying to digitise the globes, which form one of the most beautiful parts in the British Library’s vast maps collection. The virtualglobes will be made available for up close interaction on theBritish Library’s website throughout 2021, with the first seven due for release on 26 March.Art UKArt UK is the online home for every public art collection in the UK. Art UK is a charity, which features almost digitised 250,000 artworks available online. Through our work, we make art available for everyone--for enjoyment, learning and research. From May we will offer users the opportunity to create and share albums of artworks as well as〞digital surrogate〔替代(tìdài)的〕exhibitions〞.Leeds Art Gallery OnlineThe displays at Leeds City Art Gallery have been selected by the staff to reflect the richness and variety of the collections. Established masterpieces are presented alongside lesser known works. It includes recent acquisitions and long term works from the collection. The collection is quite large--only a fraction〔局部〕is on display at any one time.

Parents have found themselves not only having to balance work and having the children at home but also having to try and teach them. How can you keep your children focused while learning?Nicola Anderson--Head of Customer Support at the UK’s leading online tutoring service MyTutor, provides new, up-to-date tips to hearten parents at this difficult time and advises how they can structure their children’s days.One is to keep to a regular timetable so it still feels like your child is taking part in the school day. Ms Anderson said:“Children of all ages do well on routine and boundaries; schools provide this in abundance and it will most children feel secure and happy if they can follow a similar timetable for their homeschooling.〞Another tip is to create an environment which is favorable to learning. She said:〞 The environment should be free from distractions and ideally near to an open window, to provide them with appropriate levels of fresh air and natural light. Somechildren find it comfortable and helpful to have quiet, instrumental music playing in the background to help them to focus, but this isn’t for everyo ne.〞Using technology to help with your child’s learning is also advised. Many schools are offering online classes and resources to help and companies are reducing or even not charging their fees during this time.It is also important to keep physical exercise as a part of your routine. Joe Wicks, otherwise known as The Body Coach, has been keeping kids healthy with daily 10 minute workouts for children on his Youtube channel. Ms Anderson said:〞 It can be anything from running around the garden, walking the dog, a game of football or dancing around your living room!〞24.Who is the text intended for?A.Student.B. Teachers.C.

What is the text mainly about?A. How to improve homeschooling efficiency.B. How to obtain online learning resources.C. How to study attentively at home.D. How to design a proper schedule.CUltrasound〔超声〕is used widely in medical imaging, but in recent years scientists have started developing it for another use: stimulating nerves to treat disease. In two new studies in mice, researchers focused the sound waves on nerves in the spleen〔脾〕that communicate with the immune system, reducing symptoms. If theapproach proves safe and effective in people, it could serve as a treatment for diseases such as arthritis〔关节炎〕.In one study, led by scientists at the Feistein Institute and GE Research, mice receiving a few minutes of ultrasound treatment to the spleen nerve had a diminished symptoms to an injected〔注射(zhùshè)〕poison. In another study, researchers at the University of Minnesota and their colleagues reduces symptoms of arthritis in mice by stimulating their spleen nerves for 20 minutes every day for a week. “Zeroing in on the spleen may provide a more precise approach than focusing on the vagus nerve〔交感神经〕, which connects with the immune system via a second nerve that stimulates the spleen.〞says Hubert Lin, lead author of the latter study. “When we’re targeting the spleen we have less of an effect all over the body.〞“Little is known about how repeated ultrasound affects the spleen or whether it has other harmful effects,〞 says neuroscientist Denise Bellinger of Loma Linda University, who was not involved in either study. An ongoing clinical trial aims to assess the treatment’s safety in humans with arthritis. A bigger unknown is how ultrasound activates in general. Scientists are now exploring the use of ultrasound on other parts of the nervous system,including the brain. “We know how to control nerves with electricity, and we’ve been doing it for more than 100 years,〞neuroscientist Kevin Tr acey says, “But the idea of controlling nerve signals with ultrasound is a brand-new field.〞28.What do scientists expect of the new application of ultrasound?A. It'll be applied in medical imagingB. It'll be used to activate nerves to treat disease.C. I t’ll be applied in spleen transplantation.D. It'll be employed to rebuild immune system.29. Whet does the underlined word “diminished" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Complicated.B. Worsened. C Decreased. D. Associated.30. What is the concern of Denise Bellinger?A. Side effect.B. Time length.C. The procedure.D. The cost.31. What is most likely the next step of the study?A. Assessing the treatment' s safety on humans.B. Activating nerves in general with ultrasound.C. Exploring the use of ultrasound on the brain.D. Controlling nerve signals with ultrasound.DThe invention of steel frames in the late 1800s meant that the walls did not carry the weight of a structure. This development meant that suddenly much taller buildings were possible, and theycould be built quickly. Skyscrapers had been born, and they were about to change the face of our cities.Since 1901 the world’s tallest building had always been a skyscraper and until 1974 this was always in New York. Only after the end of the century did the tallest building appear outside North America, with the opening of the first building to be more than half a kilometer tall, Taipei 101.Tall building are seen as a symbol of success and status by many but they are not always popular with local residents. The construction of the Shard, the tallest building in London and in the entire European Union, has been highly controversial. It is only a few hundred meters across the River Thames from the Tower of London--one of the oldest and most famous landmarks in London.Many feelthat such modern constructions should not be built near to historic sites.London residents should hope that the opening of the Shard doesn’t lead to a major downtown in their economy. The Empire State Building was finished in 1931, very soon after Wall Street crashed. The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur were built in 1988, just after the Asian financial crisis. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai was opened in early 2021, and shortly afterwards the emirate’s〔酋长国的〕investment company collapsed.The Burj Khalifa might be the tallest structure in the world currently but its status is under threat from numerous planned buildings around the world. One tower which will probably never be built is the 4km high X-Seed 4000 in Tokyo. It was designed in 1995 to attract publicity rather than as a serious proposal, but who knows when such fanciful ideas could become a reality? The Burj Khalifa is more that double the height of the Empire State Building, and surely no one in 1931 would have imagined that.32. What make the building of skyscrapers possible?A. The using of the steel frames.B. The improvement of the wall material.C. The changing of the city face.D. 'The increase of the building height.33. What is most Londoners' attitude towards the construction of the Shard?A. Supportive.B. Uncooperative.C. Acceptable.D. Critical.34. How is paragraph 4 developed?A. By analyzing possible reasons.B. By stating general characters.C. By providing typical examples.D. By listing practical proposals.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Skyscrapers: symbol of successB. Skyscrapers: ideal buildingsC. The sky's fanciful ideas and realityD. The sky's the limit第二节(一共5小题，每一小(yī xiǎo)题2分，满分是10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填人空白处的最正确选项，选项里面有两项为多余选项。

山东省济南市2020年五月高三第二次模拟考试英语试题带答案解析
2020年5月济南高考模拟考试英语试题第一部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5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。
AKnown for its complicated, seemingly wavelike sandstone walls and the rays of sunlight that shine into them, Arizona's Antelope Canyon（羚羊峡谷）is an everlasting attraction for tourists. It's a slot canyon, meaning it formed from water carving it out over millions of years. It sits about 3,700 feet above sea level and takes its name from the antelope that once lived in it.The canyon forms part of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park in the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation limits visits to either the Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon to two hours and requires all visitors to be led by authorized guides. If you're planning a trip and need help deciding which area to visit, keep these recommendations in mind.•When：Tours are available twice a day during the week year-round, though exact times vary by season；tours are not available on weekends or major holidays.•Cost：Tour companies' fees vary, but tickets, including entrance to the park, generally start at around $ 60 for 90-minute tours of Upper Antelope Canyon. Tours of Lower Antelope Canyon tend to be around an hour and generally cost around $ 40 per adult and $ 20 for children.• Must-know tip：Most of Arizona does not follow daylight saving time, though the Navajo Nation, where Antelope Canyon is located, does. Check with your tour operator to confirm the precise time of your tour.Antelope Canyon hosts tons of visitors and, in order to protect the canyon walls from damage, no bags of any kind are permitted in either the Upper or Lower section. Also keep in mind that while most tour companies welcome small children, not all of them will.1.What makes Antelope Canyon attractive?A.Its remarkable height.B.The origin of its name.C.Its unique natural feature.D.The process of its formation.2.How much may a couple pay for a one-hour tour in Lower Antelope Canyon?A.$60.B. $80.C. $100.D. $120.3.What must be kept in mind about the Antelope Canyon tour?A.The age limit for kids.B.The definite tour time.C.Carrying a small backpack.D.Booking tickets in tour agencies.BPhiladelphia's Magic Gardens makes up a folk art center, gallery space, and a nonprofit organization showcasing the works of mosaicist（镶嵌设3十师）Isaiah Zagar.Zagar devoted himself to beautifying the South Street neighborhood in the late 1960s, when he moved to the area with his wife Julia. The couple helped the area by purchasing and repairing some old buildings, often adding colorful mosaics on both their private and public walls. The first such project was Julia's still-busy folk art store, the Eyes Gallery at 402 South Street.Zagar started working on the Magic Gardens in 1994 in the deserted parking lot near his studio. He spent the next fourteen years sculpting multi-layered walls and decorating the 3,000 square foot space. The installation（装置艺术），primarily consisting of found objects and contributions from the community, finally covers half a city block with countless patterns and colors. It shows Zagar's many aitistic influences, as well as the events and experiences of his life.In 2002, the owner of the once-unused parking lot decided to sell the land in response to rising South Street property values. Unwilling to witness the destruction of Zagar's neighborhood art environment, the community rushed to support the artist. His creation, newly titled Philadelphia's Magic Gardens, turned into a nonprofit organization with the intention of preserving and promoting Zagar's works at the site of the Magic Gardens and throughout the South Street region.The Magic Gardens is now a permanent art institution that is open to visitors throughout the year. Trained guides are available to lead tours of the Magic Gardens and Zagar's surrounding public wall paintings. In addition, it offers monthly mosaic workshops led by Zagar himself, and regularly hosts concerts, dance performances, and other public events.4.How did Zagar help the South Street neighborhood?A.He moved to the area with his family.B.He worked to improve its surroundings.C.He opened a folk art store with his wife.D.He managed to buy all the old buildings.5.What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us?A.Great achievements of Zagar.B.Special skills of installing art.C.Location of the Magic GardensD.Early history of the Magic Gardens.6.What do the local residents think of Zagar's works?A.They harm environment.B.They can bring in profits.C.They should be removed.D.They are precious treasures.7.What can tourists do in Philadelphia's Magic Gardens?A.Paint the walls on the spot.B.Put on music performances.C.Enjoy some Zagar's works.D.Attend some dance courses.CTelling someone they are not hired is never an easy job, but all hiring managers will face this difficult situation many times in their careers. While everyone fears denial on some level, it is important to understand that not everyone will fit in every job. Further, there are times when the applicant quality will be so great, a decision to reject an applicant may not reflect on that applicant's abilities but the overall quality of the field.There are a number of methods that can be used to get the message across that a person is not hired. In many cases, especially for those who were never called for an interview, a simple form letter may be sufficient. In other cases, where someone may have been called for an interview, a phone call or letter could be chosen to deliver the message that they were not hired. In cases where there may be an ongoing relationship with the person not hired, it may be best to break the news in person, though this has the obvious potential of being more uncomfortable. Above all, it is best to always be honest with those who didn't get the job. Lying is never acceptable.Generally, it is not a good idea to tell someone specific reasons why they are not hired for a job. This can only lead to resentment（怨恨）and regret. However, there may be specific times when this could be a good idea. For example, if an applicant is promising and the hiring manager believes another position will be opening up that suits the applicant's skills, this could be a way to let that person know they may soon have another opportunity.In all cases, even if you feel someone has cheated to obtain an interview, never behave in a way which shows you are superior to them. This is unprofessional and reflects very poorly not only on the hiring manager, but the organization as a whole.8.Why are some applicants refused according to Paragraph 1?A.They are interested in other fields.B.They don't qualify for the position.C.They are afraid of making decisions.D.They lack the courage to face failures.9.How may a not-interviewed applicant be informed of the rejection?A.By receiving a formal phone call.B.By getting a simple form letter.C.By checking a message online.D.By attending a personal meeting.10.In what case will applicants be told exactly why they are not hired?A.They regret applying for the job.B.They demand specific explanations.C.They may be capable of another post.D.They have submitted false information11.What can be inferred about the position of hiring managers?A.It calls for professional skills.B.It attracts the applicants most.C.It doesn't allow for any mistake.D.It requires honesty and ambition.DFew people doubt the value of developing students' thinking skills. A focus on critical thinking is common in education. In the Australian Curriculum, critical thinking and creative thinking are known as "general capabilities". The US has a similar focus through their "common core".Many approaches to developing critical thinking are based on Philosophy for Children. One strategy that has a large impact on students' ability to analyse and evaluate arguments is argument mapping, in which a student's reasoning can be visually displayed by capturing the inferential pathway from assumption to conclusion. This type of argument-based intellectual engagement can show high outcomes in terms of the quality o£thinking in any classroom. Research also shows deliberate attention to the practice o£reasoning in the context of our everyday lives can be significantly improved through targeted teaching.Teachers at one high school in Australia, who have much training in critical thinking teaching methods, developed a task that asked students to determine Australia's greatest sports person. Students needed to construct their own criteria for greatness. To do so, they had to analyze the Australian, sporting context, create possible evaluative standards, explain and justify why some standards would be more acceptable than others and apply these to their candidates. They then needed to argue their case with their classmates to develop criteria that were solid, defensible, widely applicable and produced a choice that seized significant and relevant aspects of Australian sport.Researchers looking at the gains made in a single term of teaching critical thinking with argument mapping said the critical thinking gains measured are close to those that could be expected to result from three years of undergraduate education. Students who are taught to think well also do better on subject-based exams and standardized tests than those who do not.In terms of developing 21st century skills, which includes setting up students for lifelong learning, teachingcritical thinking should be core business.12.Which of the following can explain the underlined word "capturing" in Paragraph 2?A.Describing.B. Attracting.C. Designing.D. Blocking.13.What's the purpose of Paragraph 3?A.To construct the criteria for being great.B.To acknowledge the teachers" outcomes.C.To present how to teach critical thinking.D.To emphasize the importance o£ reasoning.14.What is the author's attitude toward teaching critical thinking?A. Objective.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Cautious.15.What does this text imply?A.Teaching methods should vary among schools.B.Research on education deserves more attention.C.Critical thinking should be valued in education.D.Concepts of critical thinking aren't well received.第二节（共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选岀可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

expertise.In the highly reviewed Shakespeare(2007),he raced us through the playwright’s life and works in222pages;A Short History of Nearly Everything(2003)was his624-page analysis of“everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilisation”—and it remains the best-selling science book of the21st century so far.Can he make it again with A Really Short Journey Through the Body,which promises us a“head to toe”tour in138pages?In his books for adult readers,Bryson’s success has lain in an ability to turn vast,complex subjects into an easy and pleasant narrative,filled with tiny facts and odd stories.His latest book,which follows his adult title The Body (2020),is aimed at children as young as eight,for whom this proven writing style works well.“No doubt about it,the human body is a truly remarkable thing,”Bryson writes,and it’s the remarkable facts that interest him the most.Did you know that you blink14,000times a day?Or that it takes seven billion billion billion atoms to make you?And that if you formed all your DNA into a single line,it would reach10billion miles across the solar system?Fresh doctors might find some of the entries frustratingly brief.The tongue,for example,receives only a paragraph,while,a chapter,entitled‘Poo and Farts’,is relatively detailed:“In your life,you’ll probably poo the weight of5cars but you’ll have eaten the weight of60.So that’s not a terrible result.”Biology books can be heavy weather;but Bryson’s skill,as ever,is to turn the story of the human body into a thoroughly digestible read.4.What do Bryson’s latest book and The Body(2020)have in common?A.They are easy to read.B.They are both about physics.C.They are intended for adults.D.They are both best-selling books.5.What is the purpose of Paragraph3?A.To analyze the structure of the book.B.To illustrate the attraction of the book.C.To show the scientific value of the book.D.To display the main contents of the book.6.What does the underlined phrase“heavy weather”mean in the last paragraph?A.Packed with facts.B.Weather-related.C.Hard to understand.D.Popular and readable.7.What is the text?A.An introduction to a book.B.An essay on biology.C.A news report on science.D.A biography of a writer.CStrategically adding weak points along microscopic chains called polymers(高分子聚合物)actually makes them harder to tear,researchers report in the June23Science.Polymers are used in car tires,and therefore the findings could help reduce plastic pollution as tires wear down over time.When tires rub against the road,they drop microplastics of rubber and plastic polymers,which pollute waterways and air.Every year,tires release an estimated6million metric tons of these microplastics into environment.Stronger polymers that break apart less easily could limit the amount of particles shed annually.To make such tough materials,Stephen Craig,a chemist at Duke University,and colleagues added molecules called cross-linkers to the polymers.These cross-linkers connected these polymer chains to their many neighbors,and they were specifically designed to break apart easily.At the microscopic scale,the polymers act like a tangle(乱团)of spaghetti with the cross-linkers holding them all together and helping them keep their shape,says Craig’s collaborator Shu Wang,a chemist at MIT.When the team stretched the polymer spaghetti,the individual cross-linkers broke easily, as expected.But the larger tangle material required more force to break than they expected.The secret to the increased toughness lies in the path the tear has to take,Craig says.The tear goes through the easy-to-break cross-linkers rather than through the tougher polymer chains.Each broken connection follows the path of least resistance but avoiding the long polymer chains means breaking many cross-linkers,which requires more stretching force overall.This isn’t the first time researchers have used weak connectors to make polymers stronger.But unlike in similar materials,the increased toughness doesn’t come at the expense of other beneficial properties like stiffness(风度). Craig says he hopes the findings will help extend the lifetimes of car tires and plastics,potentially limiting annual microplastic pollution.8.What benefit does the new material bring?A.It meets the road standard.B.It weakens plastic polymers.C.It releases less microplastics.D.It reduces the cost of car tires.9.What can we know about the tangle material?A.It follows the pattern of spaghetti.B.It is designed to fall apart easily.C.The polymers help keep its shape.D.The larger tangle is harder to break.10.What is the primary factor that contributes to the increased toughness?A.The weakness of the cross-linker.B.The strength of the polymer chains.C.The number of the cross-linkers used.D.The path the tear takes through the material.11.What can we learn about the finding?A.It initially uses weak connectors.B.It sacrifices stiffness for toughness.C.It lengthens the lifespan of car tires.D.It removes annual microplastic pollution.DEver feel disconnected during a stressful event?That could be your brain protecting you.During traumatic(痛苦的)situations,people might experience an unexpected wave of emotional indifference or feel like they’ve separated from reality and are having an out-of-body experience.These symptoms of disconnect describe dissociation,a defense mechanism that separates threatening feelings and ideas from the rest of someone’s mind.But why do our minds sometimes dissociate when we’re experiencing stressful events?Typically,the sympathetic nervous system,which is responsible for our“fight or flight”response,activates when a person is in upcoming physical danger.Mammals,including humans,evolved to have this response,as it pushes them to survive by fighting or escaping from danger.Dissociation is another way the nervous system is ready to respond to trauma when fight or flight appears to be too dangerous or impossible.Dissociation can protect someone in the moment so that they are mentally separated from a situation causing physical pain,emotional pain or both.Oftentimes,victims of abuse report dissociation during the event or having foggy memories of an event after the fact due to dissociation.Nevertheless,problems can arise if people continue to dissociate even once they’re separated from the intense trauma,as opposed to relying on other coping mechanisms,for example,help from a professional.Many people who continue to dissociate often struggle with daily stress,like meeting work deadlines or speaking with peers.Many feel disconnected in their relationships and may find themselves unconcentrated during what used to be usual interactions or tasks.But the goal of addressing long-term dissociation isn’t to do away with it.After all,it can be a useful strategy to help survive a dangerous situation.But memories of the traumatic event are often disruptive and painful,so having some distance from that could mean a better quality of life after the trauma.12.What is the main idea of Paragraph1?A.It defines what dissociation is.B.It emphasizes the value of dissociation.C.It lists different symptoms of disconnect.D.It explains why we experience stressful events.13.How does dissociation work on victims of abuse?A.By erasing their memories.B.By getting rid of their emotional pain.C.By protecting victims from physical pain.D.By distancing the victims mentally from the reality.14.What might happen if people continue to dissociate?A.Failing to focus on tasks.B.Meeting work deadlines.C.Having a better quality of life.D.Relying on other coping mechanisms.15.Which of the following might the author agree with?A.Traumatic events are avoidable.B.Dissociation needs to be handled properly.C.People’s well-being is based on the distance.D.There’re enough coping strategies for traumas.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
