2019-2020学年江苏省天一中学高三英语三模试题及答案
2019-2020学年江苏省天一中学高三英语三模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AOlder adults who sleep six hours or fewer a night may have elevated risk for dementia(痴呆症) and other cognitive (认知的) issues, a new study finds.Researchers at Stanford University measured seniors' (ages 65 to 85) dementia risk and cognitive abilities, finding higher risk in those patients who regularly slept six or fewer hours compared to those who slept seven or eight hours. Those seniors who slept nine or more hours also had lower cognitive functions and other health issues, but the researchers didn't find the same high dementia risk in this group.The findings demonstrate how important it is for adults to maintain a healthy sleep cycle, especially as they get older.As adults age, it's common for their sleep patterns to change or becomedisrupted— leading to longer, shorter, or more irregular sleep. This disruption may be linked to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, impacting seniors' ability to remember information, problem-solve, and go through everyday behaviors. Sleep disruption can also be caused by or heighten depression, cardiovascular disease（冠心病）, and other conditions.A recommended sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours, the researchers said. Six or fewer hours corresponded to short sleep, while nine or more hours corresponded to long sleep.The Stanford researchers measured levels of beta amyloid, a protein in the brain that is typically found in high levels when a patient develops Alzheimer's. In addition, the researchers used several tests for memory, attention, spatial skills, and executive function to identify patients' cognitive abilities. Those patients sleeping for six hours or fewer a night were more likely to develop dementia, the researchers found. The low-sleep patients had higher levels of beta amyloid.The Stanford researchers found that patients with lower sleep also performed worse on memory tests, while those with higher sleep (more hours) performed worse on executive function tests，which measure the brain's ability to switch between different tasks.―The main takeaway is that it is important to maintain healthy sleep late in life, Winer told CNN.1. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in paragraph 4 mean?A. difficultB. disorderedC. dissolvedD. different2. According to the findings, which of the following is NOT related to the disrupted sleep?A. It is more likely to cause old people to have bad memories over issues.B. It may contribute to dementia, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses.C. Some daily behaviors perhaps differ from those whose sleeping is normal.D It tends to bring all the old people to undergo brain scans and cognitive tests.3. What can we infer from the study?A. A proper sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours.B. Low and high sleep patients were both poor at memory tests.C. Executive function test is applied to measure the capacity of brain.D. Keeping a healthy sleep for older adults late in life is crucial.BBack about 20 months ago I started college and just struggled with everything, such as classes and friends. I quickly became depressed and angry at myself for not being about to do better in school, in addition to lack of friends due to poor social and communication skills.This went on for months until my 19th birthday. My parents sent me a cake, which was a great cake. But I remember having this large cake and ly no one to share it with. I ended throwing out the cake after having one piece, with about 90 % of it leftover. That night I was depressed that I decided to go outside to the freezing temperature of the winter and run. I put my earphones in, went outside and ran about 2 miles at 11 p.m. on my birthday.When I got back inside I was content. I was proud of what I was able to do. The next night I did the same. I wasn’t quick or fit but you know that I went outside and did something. This continued for about 2 months until I finally worked up the courage to go to the gym, where I started swimming again as I used to in high school. A month went by and I started lifting weights and continually running.Looking back I can see that exercise helped cure my depression but it didn’t only do that. At the gym I met new friends and back at my dorm I grew confidence to go to the end of the hall seeing people playing Super Smash Brothers and ask if I could join.So go forward to present now. I exercise every day and look forward to that hour and a half I get daily to do what I love with people who love it as well. I hope this helps someone who may be or have been in a similar situation.4. What made the author decide to run at night?A. His l9th birthday.B. His parents’ cake.C. His loneliness.D. His friends.5. Which of the following best describes the author?A. Traditional.B. Determined.C. Humorous.D. Generous.6. What is the biggest benefit of the author’s running?A. Regaining his confidence.B. Losing his weight.C. Playing with his brothers.D. Joining other activities.7. Why do you think the author wrote this passage?A. To recall his life in college.B. To show his gratitude to his parents.C. To emphasize the importance of friendship.D. To share his experience of dealing with hardship.CDoctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don’t listen because they already know it all, I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn’t realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As 1 flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot—and my boss—so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness sand said, we need to put the landing gear down now! That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn’t overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I’m in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from landing gear up.8. What does the author say about doctors in general?A. They like flying by themselves.B. They are quick learners of CRM.C. They pretend to be good pilots.D. They are unwilling to take advice.9. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when .A. his boss landed the plane too lateB. he was in charge of a flying taskC. he saved the plane by speaking upD. his boss operated on a patient10. In the last paragraph landing gear up probably means .A. following flying requirementsB. making a mistake that may cost livesC. listening to what fellow doctors sayD. overreacting to different opinions11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying SafeB. A Pilot-Turned DoctorC. The Making of a Good PilotD. Flying Makes Me a Better DoctorDWhen I was a child, I attained high grades in my academic study. However, I was physically uncoordinated because I was running too slowly. But for future college application, sport was a must. So I took up fencing (击剑) because I thought it required more strategy than athletic ability.Then I joined the school’s fencing team. My movements were clumsy compared to the seniors. One afternoon after a whole lesson’s failure, tears of frustration welled up in my eyes. One of my teammates approached me, “Could you tell me where your blade (剑) hit me?” She asked. I pointed to her right shoulder. She nodded and patted my stomach, “That’s where I hit you.” She had begun to walk away when I blurted out, “Want to practice together? Again?”We practiced until we both felt more confident. But it wasn’t just the two of us. All these girls were entirelywilling to share their knowledge with everyone, helping each other to grow.That afternoon, I watched a senior fencer execute a flawless attack admiringly. Something inside me suddenly bloomed. I realized later that it was love for both fencing and the fencing team.During the city championship, I was selected to fence. My opponent was the best fencer on her school’s team. “Ready, fence.” The match began. Suddenly, my opponent’s blade hit me. The score was 1-0.At the moment I could hear my teammates shouting, “Keep distance!” And the team captain’s voice was clear and commanding, “Parry, then disengage!”Fencing, unlike academics, wasn’t something I could succeed in by myself—even during an individual match, my teammates were still giving me advice. Unathletic as I was, I was proud to be an athlete and a teammate.I saw my blade tip bury itself into my opponent’s shoulder and the judge signaling that it was my point. I could taste the sweat on my lips, which were breaking out into a smile.12. Why did the author start to learn fencing?A. Because she needed to train her coordination.B. Because she thought it would be easier for her.C. Because she could not succeed in any other sport.D. Because she wanted to enter the school fencing team.13. How did the girls improve their fencing skills?A. By observing flawless attacks.B. By practicing on their own.C. By offering guidance to each other.D. By competing with other teams.14. What distinguishes fencing from academics according to the author?A. Strong determination.B. Hard work.C. Athletic strategy.D. Team support.15. How did the author feel when she got her point?A. Unbeatable and respectful.B. Sweaty and ashamed.C. Energetic and secure.D. Proud and thankful.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。

and grassy green hills， almost everywhere in Bath feels like a living postcard． With landmarks from Roman and medieval times， you may feel you've landed back in time， but the splendid row houses and people hustling about on smart﹣phones brings you out of that fantasy． Bath somehow weaves together threads of small﹣town life with metropolitan style． It has galleries， museums and theaters． It's a college town anchored by the University of Bath． And it is a UNESCO World Heritage site． Even on a mere day trip from London， just 90 minutes away by train， Bath bubbles over with charm．Bath AbbeyAn impressive landmark in the center of town， Bath Abbey is the third place of worship to occupy this site in 1，200 years． The first church， built in 757，was replaced by a cathedral soon after the Norman conquest of England in 1066． That one gave way in the 15th century to the Abbey that's there today．Walk inside and eye the ceiling and stained glass windows showing 56 scenes from Christ's life． A floor plate marks Queen Elizabeth II's 1973 visit． Tours of the church tower are available．Roman BathsThe Roman Baths date back to the year 70，with a pool of natural， hot spring water called the Great Bath located below street level． You can see the steam swirling on the street above． People dressed in period clothing﹣such as a Roman soldier or stone mason﹣stand in the archways．The complex includes several underground spaces and displays． The self﹣guided audio tour thoroughly explains how the citizens of Aquae Sulis （the Roman name given to Bath） socialized， worked and worshipped． At the end of the tour，visitors can sample some of that refreshing water．Jane Austen CentreNovelist Jane Austen lived with family in Bath between 1801 and 1806． Avid readers of Austen's work know that Bath was a prominent setting in two of her books， Persuasion and Northanger Abbey． The Jane Austen Centre， a three﹣story building on Gay Street has a permanent exhibit and tea room．The exhibit offers two floors of clothes， anecdotes about what daily life would have been like for Austen in Bath． You can end your wandering with afternoon tea in the third﹣floor Regency Tea Room．Royal CrescentThis half﹣moon formation of Georgian townhouses is one of Bath's most famous architectural masterpieces， an arc﹣shaped cluster of buildings set behind a green field． The first home， Royal Crescent， where former Parliament member Henry Sanford lived in the late 1700s， is also a museum． Rooms are furnished in 18th century style， with a glimpse of the upstairs﹣downstairs lifestyle of the era（think Downton Abbey but 150 years earlier）．（1）According to the article， the following aspects of Bath are covered EXCEPT ．A． historyB． architectureC． transportationD． accommodation（2）Which of the following statement is INCORRECT according to the passage A． Bath Abbey occupied the site in the 15th century after several historical changes．B． The Roman Baths are featured by a hot spring water， where you can tour around with the local guide．C． Two of Jane Austin's books were set in Bath， where she lived for 5 years．D． The rooms in Royal Crescent are furnished in 18th century style， resembling that of Downton Abbey．28．（6分）There are a couple of ways to forecast the destructive potential of ahurricane so that people in the way can take adequate precautions． Satellite images of cloud patterns can be analyzed to estimate peak wind speeds， but the estimates are often way off the mark． Specialized aircraft can fly into a storm to measure the winds directly， but the flights are costly．Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology come up with a third way： listening to a storm underwater．In a paper to be published in Geophysical Research Letters，Nicholas C． Makris and a former graduate student， Joshua D． Wilson， report a strong connection between the intensity of sound recorded by an undersea microphone in the mid﹣Atlantic and the wind power of a hurricane that passed over it． They say that such microphones， known as hydrophones， could be a safe and relatively inexpensive means of estimating hurricane force．Dr． Makris and Dr Wilson， who are now with Applied Physical Sciences Corporation， worked out the theory of underwater acoustic monitoring of storms in a 2005 paper． "To be very frank with you， it's a mystery what makes storms noisy underwater．" Dr． Makris said． The most popular idea currently is that it has something to do with oscillating are bubbles（气泡振动）．The researchers then went looking for experimental data to back their theory，and found it from a hydrophone placed at a depth of 2，500 feet by the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration． It happened that Hurricane Gert passed over the area in September 1999， and a hurricane﹣hunter plane directly measured the wind speed at the same time． The hydrophone data showed sound intensity rising when the storm's outside wind "wall" passed over， and again when the inside wall，the most destructive part of the storm near the eye， passed over． "We got a beautiful connection，" Dr． Makris said， "between the hydrophone data and the actual wind speeds as measured by the aircraft．"Dr． Makris is conducting additional experiments， working with the MexicanNavy off the west coast of Mexico． The eventual goal， he said， would be permanent hydrophones in known hurricane zones or temporary ones that could be easily laid by plane or ship in the path of a coming storm．（1）It can be inferred from the passage that ．A． The scientists didn't gain any support from different fields．B．Dr．Makris and Dr．Wilson have figured out what makes storms noisy underwater．C． The scientists have found the relationship between the changes of sound intensity and the force of the hurricane．D． There are several creative ways for people to forecast the force of the coming hurricane．（2）Why is Dr． Makris now making other experiments with the help of the Mexican Navy off the west coast of MexicoA． To place permanent hydrophones in some zones．B． To collect more images of cloud patterns．C． To be secure in carrying out their experiments．D． To get more information from the hurricane﹣hunter planes．（3）Which of the following might be the best title of the passageA． Ways to Stop the Destructive Force of a HurricaneB． Connection between the Intensity of Sound and the Wind Power of a Hurricane C． Hydrophones， Safe but Expensive Means of Estimating Hurricane ForceD． Measuring a Hurricane by Sound Underwater29．（8分）I have had a lifelong fascination﹣call it obsession if you like﹣with communication， with making links to other places， other cultures， other worlds． The roots of this obsession have often puzzled me． I am not﹣never have been﹣a gregarious person． Quite the opposite， I was a solitary child and myclassmates at school and university always thought of me as a loner． I was never crazy about the noisy solidarity of social gatherings． So why was I possessed of a desire to make contact with distant placesIt can partly be explained by the start I had in life． I grew up on what seemed at the time like the edge of the world﹣in a remote part of rural Ireland，in a household with few books or magazines， and no television． Foreign travel was unheard of． Apart from those who emigrated to Great Britain or the United States， virtually nobody we knew had ever been abroad． Nobody ever went overseas on holiday， and no foreign languages were taught in the schools I attended﹣with the exception of Latin． We lived in a closed society that thought of itself as self﹣sufficient．There was however one chink of light in the suffocating gloom﹣the radio，which we called "the wireless．" It was， by modern standards， a huge apparatus powered by valves﹣which is why it took some time to warm up﹣and a "magic eye" tuning indicator﹣a greenish glass circle that winked at you as the signal waxed or waned． The best thing about our wireless， though， was that it had a shortwave band． This was the source of endless fascination to me， because it meant that even with this primitive device one could listen to the world． At first I couldn't understand how it worked． Why was reception so much better at night Why was it so infuriatingly variable I asked my father， who looked evasive and just said it had something to do with "the whachamacallit sphere" （he always called complicated things the whachamacallit）， but this gave me enough of a steer to go to the local library and start digging． In due course I discovered that he was referring to the ionosphere﹣a layer of charged particles high up at the edge of the Earth's atmosphere that acts as a kind of reflector for radio waves of certain frequencies． The reason shortwave radio could travel such huge distances was that it used the ionosphere to bounce signals round the world﹣which was whyradio hams in Latin America or Australia could sometimes be heard by a young boy on the western seaboard of Ireland． Signals from such distant shores were more likely to get through at night because then the ionosphere was higher and transmission over longer distances was possible．I was spellbound by this discovery of how technology could piggyback on a natural phenomenon to push forward low﹣power signals through immense distances． But most of all I was entranced by the idea of shortwave radio， for this was a technology which belonged not to great corporations or governments，but to people． It was possible， my father explained， to obtain a license to operate your own shortwave radio station． And all over the globe people held such licenses， which enabled them to sit in their back rooms and broadcast to the whole world． The world suddenly seemed wide open to me．（1）The second paragraph primarily serves to ．A． reveal the author's attitude toward foreign culturesB． present information that sheds light on a certain preoccupationC． to display the author's nostalgia for his adolescenceD． foreshadow the crucial difference between the author and his father（2）The author considers his father's answer （in Paragraph 3）to be ．A． incomplete but helpfulB． humorous but meaningfulC． lighthearted yet concernedD． silly and confusing（3）Which of the following， if true， would most weaken the claim of operating a shortwave radio stationA． Many governments around the world do not regulate shortwave usersB． Shortwave equipment is very inexpensive and is getting cheaper all the timeC． Most individuals who apply for shortwave licenses are turned down．D． Communications experts predict that the Internet will eventually replace shortwave radio．（4）The passage is primarily about the author's ．A． decision to pursue a career in scienceB． acceptance of his family's sheltered outlookC． devotion to the study of emerging technologyD． discovery of a medium's liberating potential30．（12分）In this passage adapted from a novel， a Canadian woman recalls her childhood during the 1960s． Originally form China， the family traveled to Irvine，Ontario， Canada， where the parents opened a restaurant， the Dragon Café． As a young child I never really thought about my parents' lives in Irvine，how small their world must have seemed， never extending beyond the dragon Caf é． Every day my parents did the same jobs in the restaurant． I watched the same customers come for meals， for morning coffee， for afternoon soft drinks and French fries． For my parents one day was like the next． They settled into an uneasy and distant relationship with each other． Their love， their tenderness，they gave to me．But my life was changing． I became taller and bigger， my second teeth grew in white and straight． At school I began to learn about my adopted country． I spoke English like a native， without a trace of an accent． I played， though，and dreamed in the language of Irvine neighbors． A few years later and I would no longer remember a time when I didn't speak their words and read their books． But my father and Uncle Yat still spoke the same halting English． My mother spoke only a few of words． I began to translate conversations they had with the customers， switching between English and Chinese． Whenever I stepped outside the restaurant it seemed I was entering a world unknown to my family： school，church， friends' house， the town beyond Main Street， I found it hard to imagine a year without winter any more， a home other than Irvine．For my mother， though， home would always be China． In Irvine she lived among strangers， unable to speak their language． Whenever she talked about happy times， they were during her childhood in that distant land． A wistful smile would soften her face as she told me about sleeping and playing with her sister in the attic above her parents' bedroom． She once showed me a piece of jade ﹣green silk cloth that was frayed and worn around the edge． In the center was a white lotus floating in varying shades of blue water， the embroidery so fine that when I held it at arm's length the petals looked real． I had been helping her store away my summer clothes in the brown leather suitcase from Hong Kong when I noticed a piece of shiny material in the corner and asked her what it was． She took it out and spread it on her lap． "My mother embroidered this herself． I was going to have it made into a cushion， but then my life changed and over here there seems to be no place for lovely things． It's all I have that reminds me of her，" she said． "Maybe， Su﹣Jen， one day you will do something with it．" I admired the cloth some more， then she carefully folded it and stored it back in her suitcase．There was so little left from her old life． She said it was so long ago that sometimes it felt as if it had never happened． But she described her life with such clarity and vividness that I knew all those memories lived on inside her． There was so little in this new country that gave her pleasure． The good things she found were related in some way to China： an aria from a Chinese opera，a letter from a relative back home or from Aunt Hai﹣Lan in Toronto， written in Chinese， a familiar﹣looking script that I couldn't read and that had nothing to do with my life in Canada．There were times when I felt guilty about my own happiness in Irvine． Wehad come to Canada because of me， but I was the only one who had found a home．（1）In the opening paragraph， the narrator emphasizes primarily which of the following about her parentsA． Their dependabilityB． the diligenceC． their routine livesD． Their evolving relationship（2）The primary purpose of the second paragraph is to ．A． provide insight into the motivations of the narrator's parents and uncle B． emphasize the great transformation the narrator undergoesC． describe the complex interrelationships in the narrator's familyD． reveal the narrator's preference for a cold climate over a warm one（3）According to the narrator， her mother experienced feelings of in Canada．A． isolationB． confusionC． stabilityD． security（4）In paragraph 4 the mother's memories of China are portrayed as ．A． distant yet enduringB． occasional and vagueC． lively but confusedD． joyous and hopeful（5）The items mentioned in paragraph 4 had meaning for the mother because they ．A． introduce her to a world rich in cultureB． helped connect the narrator and her motherC． supplied her with familiar associationsD． provided relief from her boring work routine（6）Which of the following best characterizes the narrator's development over the course of the passageA． She grows apart from the cultural tradition of her parents．B． She overcomes the guilt she felt about her newfound happiness．C． She begins to view the inhabitants of Irvine from her mother's perspective．D． She communicates less and less with her parents．第四部分：任务型阅读（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）请阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填八一个最恰当的单词．注意：每个空格只填一个单词．31．（10分）Sometimes， we all get the feeling that we aren't making the progress we want to in life． Perhaps we don't have the career we want， the relationship we want or the body we want． |This is a somewhat universal experience but some of us feel it more strongly than others． And when it has been going on long enough，we start to look for help from outside sources． This is where the life coach comes in， as someone who promises to help us sort our lives out and make positive progress toward our goals．The easiest way to think of a life coach is as a personal trainer for your entire life． While a personal trainer might write you a program to help you get in shape and then encourage you to carry out that program， a life coach will give you a program that can help you in multiple areas of your life and then give you the same motivation and encouragement． Ideally， this should mean developing in you the kind of traits and knowledge that will eventually allow you to outgrow your need for them．In theory， there's nothing wrong with the concept of life coaching． Theissue instead comes from the fact that there is no regulation in this multi﹣million dollar industry． If you are interested in becoming a life coach， then you can quite easily apply online and complete a course for around ＄3，000． One course promises that you can become a qualified coach in just six days! This should be ringing alarm bells for anyone thinking of hiring a life coach． This is someone who claims to have the knowledge to help you in every aspect of your life． However，is it really true I think it's still questionable． Of course， this doesn't mean that there is no good life coach． All it means is that there are may bad ones out there and that it's very difficult to tell them apart from the ones that offer genuine value．Therefore， it's important to remember that the best life coach in the world can only do so much． Be honest with yourself and ask yourself whether you really need to shift the responsibility onto someone else． And you should certainly think twice before spending large amounts of money hiring a life coach， especially if you're currently unhappy with your financial situation! Additionally， you're supposed to consider the fact that there are many professionals with far more qualifications relating to various different aspects of your life． You can hire a personal trainer to help you with finances， and a personal shopper to help you pick out your clothes． This will bring about far more great changes than the vast majority of life coaches can!Should you consider a life coachIntroduction Constant （1）to get what isneeded or wantedmakes peoplewant to hire alife coach．A life coach's responsibilities Different from apersonaltrainer， a lifecoach can figureout a program，which can helpyou in manyaspects of yourlife．（2）to apersonaltrainer， a lifecoach alsooffers youmotivation andencouragement．You can learn somuch from a lifecoach thateventually youdevelop so wellthat you don't（3）their help anymore．。

landmarks from Roman and medieval times，you may feel you've landed back in time，but the splendid row houses and people hustling about on smart﹣phones brings you out of that fantasy．Bath somehow weaves together threads of small﹣town life with metropolitan style．It has galleries，museums and theaters．It's a college town anchored by the University of Bath．And it is a UNESCO World Heritage site．Even on a mere day trip from London，just 90 minutes away by train，Bath bubbles over with charm．Bath AbbeyAn impressive landmark in the center of town，Bath Abbey is the third place of worship to occupy this site in 1，200 years．The first church，built in 757，was replaced by a cathedral soon after the Norman conquest of England in 1066．That one gave way in the 15th century to the Abbey that's there today．Walk inside and eye the ceiling and stained glass windows showing 56 scenes from Christ's life．A floor plate marks Queen Elizabeth II's 1973 visit．Tours of the church tower are available．Roman BathsThe Roman Baths date back to the year 70，with a pool of natural，hot spring water called the Great Bath located below street level．You can see the steam swirling on the street above．People dressed in period clothing﹣such as a Roman soldier or stone mason﹣stand in the archways．The complex includes several underground spaces and displays．The self﹣guided audio tour thoroughly explains how the citizens of Aquae Sulis （the Roman name given to Bath）socialized，worked and worshipped．At the end of the tour，visitors can sample some of that refreshing water．Jane Austen CentreNovelist Jane Austen lived with family in Bath between 1801 and 1806．Avid readers of Austen's work know that Bath was a prominent setting in two of her books，Persuasion and Northanger Abbey．The Jane Austen Centre，a three﹣story building on Gay Street has a permanent exhibit and tea room．The exhibit offers two floors of clothes，anecdotes about what daily life would have been like for Austen in Bath．You can end your wandering with afternoon tea in the third﹣floor Regency Tea Room．Royal CrescentThis half﹣moon formation of Georgian townhouses is one of Bath's most famous architectural masterpieces，an arc﹣shaped cluster of buildings set behind a green field．The first home，No.1 Royal Crescent，where former Parliament member Henry Sanford lived in the late 1700s，is also a museum．Rooms are furnished in 18th century style，with a glimpse of the upstairs﹣downstairs lifestyle of the era（think Downton Abbey but 150 years earlier）．31．According to the article，the following aspects of Bath are covered EXCEPT．A．historyB．architectureC．transportationD．accommodation32．Which of the following statement is INCORRECT according to the passage？A．Bath Abbey occupied the site in the 15th century after several historical changes．B．The Roman Baths are featured by a hot spring water，where you can tour around with the local guide．C．Two of Jane Austin's books were set in Bath，where she lived for 5 years．D．The rooms in No.1 Royal Crescent are furnished in 18th century style，resembling that of Downton Abbey．There are a couple of ways to forecast the destructive potential of a hurricane so that people in the way can take adequate precautions．Satellite images of cloud patterns can be analyzed to estimate peak wind speeds，but the estimates are often way off the mark．Specialized aircraft can fly into a storm to measure the winds directly，but the flights are costly．Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology come up with a third way：listening to a storm underwater．In a paper to be published in Geophysical Research Letters，Nicholas C．Makris and a former graduate student，Joshua D．Wilson，report a strong connection between the intensity of sound recorded by an undersea microphone in the mid﹣Atlantic and the wind power of a hurricane that passed over it．They say that such microphones，known as hydrophones，could be a safe and relatively inexpensive means of estimating hurricane force．Dr．Makris and Dr Wilson，who are now with Applied Physical Sciences Corporation，worked out the theory of underwater acoustic monitoring of storms in a 2005 paper．"To be very frank with you，it's a mystery what makes storms noisy underwater．" Dr．Makris said．The most popular idea currently is that it has something to do with oscillating are bubbles （气泡振动）．The researchers then went looking for experimental data to back their theory，and found it from a hydrophone placed at a depth of 2，500 feet by the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration．It happened that Hurricane Gert passed over the area in September 1999，and a hurricane﹣hunter plane directly measured the wind speed at the same time．The hydrophone data showed sound intensity rising when the storm's outside wind "wall" passed over，and again when the inside wall，the most destructive part of the storm near the eye，passed over．"We got a beautiful connection，" Dr．Makris said，"between the hydrophone data and the actual wind speeds as measured by the aircraft．"Dr．Makris is conducting additional experiments，working with the Mexican Navy off the west coast of Mexico．The eventual goal，he said，would be permanent hydrophones in known hurricane zones or temporary ones that could be easily laid by plane or ship in the path of a coming storm．33．It can be inferred from the passage that．A．The scientists didn't gain any support from different fields．B．Dr．Makris and Dr．Wilson have figured out what makes storms noisy underwater．C．The scientists have found the relationship between the changes of sound intensity and the force of the hurricane．D．There are several creative ways for people to forecast the force of the coming hurricane．34．Why is Dr．Makris now making other experiments with the help of the Mexican Navy off the west coast of Mexico？A．To place permanent hydrophones in some zones．B．To collect more images of cloud patterns．C．To be secure in carrying out their experiments．D．To get more information from the hurricane﹣hunter planes．35．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？A．Ways to Stop the Destructive Force of a HurricaneB．Connection between the Intensity of Sound and the Wind Power of a Hurricane C．Hydrophones，Safe but Expensive Means of Estimating Hurricane Force D．Measuring a Hurricane by Sound UnderwaterI have had a lifelong fascination﹣call it obsession if you like﹣with communication，with making links to other places，other cultures，other worlds．The roots of this obsession have often puzzled me．I am not﹣never have been﹣a gregarious person．Quite the opposite，I was a solitary child and my classmates at school and university always thought of me as a loner．I was never crazy about the noisy solidarity of social gatherings．So why was I possessed of a desire to make contact with distant places？It can partly be explained by the start I had in life．I grew up on what seemed at the time like the edge of the world﹣in a remote part of rural Ireland，in a household with few books or magazines，and no television．Foreign travel was unheard of．Apart from those who emigrated to Great Britain or the United States，virtually nobody we knew had ever been abroad．Nobody ever went overseas on holiday，and no foreign languages were taught in the schools I attended﹣with the exception of Latin．We lived in a closed society that thought of itself as self﹣sufficient．There was however one chink of light in the suffocating gloom﹣the radio，which we called "the wireless．" It was，by modern standards，a huge apparatus powered by valves﹣which is why it took some time to warm up﹣and a "magic eye" tuning indicator﹣a greenish glass circle that winked at you as the signal waxed or waned．The best thing about our wireless，though，was that it had a shortwave band．This was the source of endless fascination to me，because it meant that even with this primitive device one could listen to the world．At first I couldn't understand how it worked．Why was reception so much better at night？Why was it so infuriatingly variable？I asked my father，who looked evasive and just said it had something to do with "the whachamacallit sphere" （he always called complicated things the whachamacallit），but this gave me enough of a steer to go to the local library and startdigging．In due course I discovered that he was referring to the ionosphere﹣a layer of charged particles high up at the edge of the Earth's atmosphere that acts as a kind of reflector for radio waves of certain frequencies．The reason shortwave radio could travel such huge distances was that it used the ionosphere to bounce signals round the world﹣which was why radio hams in Latin America or Australia could sometimes be heard by a young boy on the western seaboard of Ireland．Signals from such distant shores were more likely to get through at night because then the ionosphere was higher and transmission over longer distances was possible．I was spellbound by this discovery of how technology could piggyback on a natural phenomenon to push forward low﹣power signals through immense distances．But most of all I was entranced by the idea of shortwave radio，for this was a technology which belonged not to great corporations or governments，but to people．It was possible，my father explained，to obtain a license to operate your own shortwave radio station．And all over the globe people held such licenses，which enabled them to sit in their back rooms and broadcast to the whole world．The world suddenly seemed wide open to me．36．The second paragraph primarily serves to．A．reveal the author's attitude toward foreign culturesB．present information that sheds light on a certain preoccupationC．to display the author's nostalgia for his adolescenceD．foreshadow the crucial difference between the author and his father37．The author considers his father's answer （in Paragraph 3）to be．A．incomplete but helpfulB．humorous but meaningfulC．lighthearted yet concernedD．silly and confusing38．Which of the following，if true，would most weaken the claim of operating a shortwave radio station？A．Many governments around the world do not regulate shortwave usersB．Shortwave equipment is very inexpensive and is getting cheaper all the timeC．Most individuals who apply for shortwave licenses are turned down．D．Communications experts predict that the Internet will eventually replace shortwave radio．39．The passage is primarily about the author's．A．decision to pursue a career in scienceB．acceptance of his family's sheltered outlookC．devotion to the study of emerging technologyD．discovery of a medium's liberating potential四、开放性作文40．请认真阅读下面有关高铁的相关文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150字左右的文章．In recent years，a number of China's technological innovations have been making their way in the world．Among them，four stand out and acquire a reputation as China's "four new great inventions" of modern times，namely High Speed Railway，Alipay，shared bicycles ，and e﹣commerce．High Speed Railway is a type of rail transport that operates significantly faster than traditional rail traffic，"High speed rail travel" has been called the most revolutionary means of transport of the late 20th century and early 21st century．Today，China's high﹣speed railway or CRH，is the best example of such "revolutionary means of transport"．In fact，CRH only began to develop in early 2004，when China issued its "Mid and Long﹣term Railway Network Plan"，the first such development in China's history．It was in little more than six years that China's railway realized its leap﹣forward，which made it possible for China to head into "an era of high﹣speed railway"．As the American publication "Newsweek" put it：China is now engaged in a "railway revolution"．These 350 kilometer per hour high﹣speed railway trains have made the country's vast territory "substantially smaller"，and changed the country economically．（写作内容）1．用约30个单词概括上述信息的主要内容；2．就高铁给我们生活带来的变化谈谈你的见解；3．你眼中的高铁前景如何．（写作要求）1．作文中可以利用了解到的知识，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；2．文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当．3．不必写标题．______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2019江苏省高考英语模拟试卷(带话题作文热点,答案解析,很实用)
阅读理解(共两节)第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AMemory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a conscious effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.Memory “tricks” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barbershop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office.We always seem to find something funny and amusing in incidents caused by people's forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never get tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “tricks” of our memory can cause us great trouble.21．If you want to have a good memory, you should ________．A．force yourself to remember thingsB．make a conscious effort of practice and exercise C．never stop learningD．try hard to remember things22．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．One night the writer forgot to lock the front door.B．One night the writer forgot having locked the front door.C．The writer remembered to lock the door.D．The writer remembered unlocking the front door.23．Which can be inferred from the text?A．If you improve your memory, memory can't trick you.B．The author went to the same barbershop to get a haircut.C．Memory can trick people in different ways.D．Absent-mindedness surely causes us trouble.24．Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?A．The Key to a Good MemoryB．“Tricks” of MemoryC．The Dangers of ForgetfulnessD．The Dangers of Absent-mindednessBThe discovery of a dwarfed (矮个的) “human being” who lived in Flores, Indonesia (印度尼西亚), up to 18，000 years ago is changing the way we think about the human family. This “Flores Human” was three feet tall and her brain was smaller than that of the average chimp (黑猩猩), yet she and her relatives apparently lived fully human lives. They seemed to have made tools, worked together to find food and cook it, and perhaps even buried the dead with ceremony.It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the new human family member. The tools are like those formerly seen only with European fossils (化石) from our own species, Homo sapiens (智人), and the oldest of them were made 94，000 years ago. Homo sapiens is thought to have arrived in the island about 40，000 years ago, much too late to be responsible for the tools. If this_tiny_human made the tools, then the inside structure (结构) of its brain must have been more like our own than a chimp's, despite being just a third the size of ours.This “new human” was suspected to be a dwarfed branch of Homo erectus (直立人). When creatures are separated in regions with rare resources but few enemies, being big is a disadvantage, and evolution tends to shrink them, a process known as island dwarfing. Could natural selection make a human smaller while keeping —even improving —mental ability? Quite possibly, believes Christopher Wills of the University of California.Has the “Flores Human” even shown the ability of language? “I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools, use fire, and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication.” says Wills. Did “Flores Human” possess t he basic components of human culture，such as the burying of the dead with ceremony? Emiliano Bruner of the Institute points out that Indonesia's hot, wet environment is bad for fossilization. It is reasonable to assume, he says, that the 18，000-year-old bones of the most complete Flores woman were well preserved because she was buried with special care.25．According to the passage, “Flores Human” ________．A．lived a partly human lifeB．was a branch of Homo sapiensC．used tools before Homo sapiens arrivedD．had a brain as a common chimp's26．The underlined part “this tiny human” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________．A．a chimp B．Flores HumanC．Homo sapiens D．Homo erectus27．This passage mainly talks about ________．A．the tools made by “Flores Human”B．the lang uage used by “Flores Human”C．the evolution of “Flores Human”D．the major surprising findings about “Flores Human”28．According to the passage, it is believed that “Flores Human” ________．A．was dwarfed by its enemiesB．could use languageC．left a lot of fossils in hot and wet environmentD．reached Flores 40，000 years agoCMore than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple (菠萝). The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1996, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world's best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.In nutrition it was all good news too. This nice-tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep the market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte's attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market.29．We learn from the text that the new type of pineapple is ________．A．green outside and sweet insideB．good-looking outside and soft insideC．yellowy-gold outside and hard insideD．a little softer outside and sweeter inside30．Why was the new type of pineapple selling well?A．It was rich in nutrition and tasted nice.B．It was less sweet but good for health.C．It was developed by Del Monte.D．It was used as medicine.31．The underlined word “fixture” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something ________．A．that people enjoy eatingB．that is always presentC．that is difficult to getD．that people use as a gift32．We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte ________．A．allowed other companies to develop pineapplesB．succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itselfC．tried hard to control the pineapple marketD．planned to help the other companiesDDarwin's frogs are a family of small frogs found on the southwest coast of South America. They were named after Charles Darwin, who happened to see one of the two species in 1834.These creatures usually reach a size of only 3 cm in length. They are mostly green frogs, and have long, narrow noses. When threatened, they roll over and play dead until the danger has passed, looking like dead leaves.Darwin's frogs are the only known species of frogs where males can get “pregnant”. They swallow their babies into their vocal sacs (声囊), protecting them from enemies until they have become fully grown. But nothing can protect them from a deadly fungus (真菌), which has helped push one of the two species of these frogs to probable extinction, and driven a decline (下降) in the second variety, new research shows.Researchers looked at museum specimens (标本) of both species and found that the fungus started showing up in these and other frogs in the 1970s, about when populations of both began to decline, according to a study published in the journal PLOS ONE. One of the species, the northern Darwin's frog, hasn't been seen since 1980 and is likely extinct. “The fungus is probably the main reason for the frog's disappearance，” said Marcus Rowcliffe, a researcher at the Zoological Society of London.The southern Darwin's frog is still around, but has declined faster than previously thought in recent years. The researchers found that a small percentage of them were infected with the fungus, although at lower rates than other species. This could mean that the fungus more easily kills them. They also found that populations of Darwin's frogs were lower in areas with higher rates of fungal infection. In 2007, 30 wild southern Darwin's frogs were caught to be raised in Germany, but all of them died from the fungus. The International Union for Conservation of Nature, an environmentalgroup, called the fungus the worst infectious disease ever recorded among animals with backbones.33．What can we learn about Darwin's frogs?A．They usually live on dead leaves. B．They are big with long, narrow noses.C．They were named after their discoverer. D．They can be seen everywhere in the America.34．Darwin's frogs are unusual because ________．A．both females and males can get pregnant B．they eat their own babies when in danger C．male frogs help raise the young in their mouthsD．they are the only animals infected with thefungus35．According to the text, the northern Darwin's frog ________．A．suffered greatly from a fungus B．is likely to survive the infectionC．has already disappeared from the earth D．began to decline in the early 20th century 第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
